The next day, Emma placed her best acting in front of her family. She started off with waking up and acting like she was not feeling good which wasn't a total lie. She was nervous and it caused her stomach to hurt a bit. She was nervous what Edward would do when he found out that she knew he was a vampire. She remembered at the diner he said he was protective with her, but that was way before she knew his secret.

Bella was the first to be concern. She believed the lie and thought maybe Emma was sick due to the accident that didn't happen long ago. Emma was quick to say it might be a bug. She drove the both of them to school. She had to get her mind off of everything by sticking to the road, but that didn't even help. She was fearful, yet it wasn't due to the idea that Edward could kill her for knowing. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she just knew she was fearful.

" Emma !" Bella yelled making her slam on the brakes seeing she almost ran a red light. Emma was shaken and looked over to see Bella's scared face." Em, what happened ?"

" Nothing. Are you okay ?"

" Yes. I'm more concerned about you." Bella said while Emma faced forward and began to drive again. When they got to school, she looked in the rearview mirror seeing the Cullen's were not there yet.

" Wow. Bella, I'm really not feeling good."

" Want me to call Charlie ?"

" No, just go inside. Maybe I'll go home. Let me just stay here for a bit." Emma said seeing Bella's unsure face." Go. I'll be fine. I promise."

" Okay." Bella said and left inside with Jessica and Angela, who also came to school the same time.

Emma waited. Her nerves jumping rapidly looking from one person to the other waiting for him. Her mind yet again causing her to worry and fright. That's when she saw him from the corner. He looked at her and had a small smile, but she did not return it. She walked forward and passed him going to the woods.

Her mind was screaming at her. Why go into the woods ?! Have you not seen a horror movie ?! This is where girls like you die ! No matter how much she screamed in her mind, she kept walking. She stopped when she got to an opening and heard him stop walking also.

" You kept lying to me...and I now know why you did it. I just can't believe that you're impossibly fast." She started off with hating how her voice sounded so scared. She didn't know why she was scared. It was Edward after all. The sweet, yet rude boy she met not to long ago that is a mystery." and strong. I know get why your skin is pale white and ice cold and why your eyes change color. Even to the point on why you sometimes speak like you're from a different time.  How old are you ?"

" Seventeen."

" No, how old are you, not your body ?" Emma asked not liking when he said nothing. The air was tense and she swore the metaphor when a knife could cut it was happening at the moment.

" A while."

" Then I know what you are."

" Say it. Out loud." Edward said yet she did not want to. Her new fear was that she was wrong and if she did say it, he would laugh and she would look like a fool. Maybe it was wrong to say it. Maybe I was just a delusional girl with fantasy problems." Say it !"

" Vampire." Emma said without much thinking. She gasped slightly when she said it shocked that it even came out her mouth. Yet again a new fear came up. The laughing part. The one where she will look like an idiot, but his next question was even more shocking.

" Are you afraid ?"

" No." Emma said turning around to face him. She was quick to comprehend that Edward being a vampire did not scare her." No, why would I be ?"
