CHAPTER FIVE|
Mr. Masen

The following day Edward decided to drive by himself to school without telling any of his siblings, but Anastasia and Roman knew the reason. So, when Edward got to the school, Roman decided to park beside the man far from there usual parking spot that they had with there family.

Roman and Edward quickly opened the door for there beloved's. Everyone's eyes seemed to be on the couples. Anastasia and Roman then lead the other couple across the parking lot.

Roman quickly snatched a prom poster from Eric. Showing the poster to Anastasia. "Monte Carlo, really? Why not actually go to Monte Carlo?" Roman smirks down at Anastasia, his arm around her waist.

"How fun! Perhaps after prom. Prom for me, then Monte Carlo for you?" Anastasia says smiling up at the man. "I like the sound of that." Roman smirks playfully biting her neck causing the blonde squeal.

"You know, everybody's staring." Bella suddenly asks getting the couple's attention. "Not that guy." Roman points to a boy leaning against the building.

"No, he just looked." Anastasia hums softly. Bella smiles at the two, they amused her. "I'm breaking all the rules now anyway... Since I'm going to hell." Edward says wrapping his arm around Bella.

"Aren't we all?" Roman snickers as they walk past there sibling that were in Rosalie's red car. "I think that's a great idea, Ana." Edward suddenly says walking towards the forest.

"What?" Bella says confused then sees Anastasia and Roman following them. "Skip classes for today." Roman answers. As soon as they get pass the border of the forest Anastasia and Roman run off laughing.

"Come on. They want to play." Edward chuckles motioning for Bella to get onto his back, and she does. Anastasia was jumping around in the stream, with Roman watching her from his place on a high rock.

"Come on, Isabella. Let's play." Anastasia says running up to the girl making her gasp, at the speed not yet used to the information. "I think it may be a little to cold for the little human, flower." Roman says jump down beside Anastasia.

"Perhaps another time then?" Anastasia asks. "Sure." Bella nods awkwardly. The blonde seemed satisfied with the answer then ran off back to the stream, and Roman back to the rock.

Edward then pulled Bella to a rock that they could sit on. "So, Does a person have to be dying... To become like you?" Bella suddenly asks.

"No, that's just Carlisle. He'd never do this to someone who had another choice." Edward says shaking his head. "So, how long have you been like this?"

"Since 1918... That's when Carlisle, Anastasia, and Roman found me. Dying of Spanish Influenza." Edward says. "What was it like?"

"Hello, darling." Anastasia says softly. Carlisle had told the woman that he wished to turn a certain patient of his that would soon pass. The boy was far too young to die. "W-who are you?" The boy says having never seen a more beautiful woman, but soon he would.

"I am Anastasia Nikolas." The blonde giggles. "And you are?"

"Edward Masen, ma'am." The boy says formally. "You have great manners, Mr. Masen." Anastasia smiles happily.

"May I ask, why are you here?" Edward asks softly. "Dr.Cullen has asked me to meet you. And I must say I have only just met you for a moment, and I have grown quite fond of you Mr. Masen. Now if you don't mind, I believe it is my turn to ask you a question... Have you ever left Chicago?"

"Never." Edward shakes his head slowly. "Would you like to see the world? Fall in love? Find your beloved?" Anastasia smiles, fondly thinking of her beloved.

"Yes, ma'am." Edward nods quickly. "Now, one last question and pardon me, Mr. Masen... But are you ready to die?"

Slowly tears begin to form in the boy's eyes. "No, ma'am."

"Now, what if I told you, you didn't have to? You could see the world that was waiting for you? You could find your beloved that was waiting for you?" Anastasia smiles softly.

"W-Why are you being so kind to me? At what price?" Edward blinks quickly. "Kindness is free, Mr. Masen. Love is free."

"The venom was excruciating... But what Carlisle did was much harder. Not many of us have the restraint to do that." Edward says looking towards Anastasia. She turned her beloved because he asked her to, but it took a bit of her to bring herself to do such a thing.

"But didn't he just have to... bite?" Bella asks. "Not exactly. Anastasia could explain it better than I ever could." Edward motions to the blonde.

"Why?" Bella looks at the woman that was walking towards them. "Because she turned me." Roman says jumping down. The couple sat in front of the two.

"I wish for you to be the one to turn me, Anastasia." Roman says to his wife. The two had just gotten married and like Anastasia promised she is showing Roman Greece for their honeymoon. "Perhaps we shall wait for when Carlisle can turn you." Anastasia says walking towards the window.

She loved the man dearly, and hated the thought of hurting him. Anastasia had never had the taste of human blood in her mouth, and didn't know what would happen if she did have a taste. "No, I wish for you to be the one to turn me." Roman says sternly.

"It is a extremely painful process, Roman." Anastasia says softly turning to the man looking into his beautiful green eyes. "I am willing to go through the pain of a million men if it meant being forever by your side." Roman says walking up to the woman.

"You are a mad man, Mr. Nikolas." Anastasia smiles up at the man. Roman hated his family, they had beaten him since he was a boy so, he asked Anastasia, he would prefer her name over his anyday. "If I am a mad man, then you are a dangerously gorgeous woman, Mrs. Nikolas." Roman smirks kissing the woman deeply causing her to smile.

"When we taste. Human blood... A sort of frenzy begins. It's almost impossible to stop. But Carlisle did. First with Anastasia, then me." Edward trails off. "And then with his wife, Esme." Roman says.

"So, is Carlisle the real reason that you don't... kill people?" Bella asks. "No, that's not the only reason... I don't want to be a monster." Edward says making Anastasia smile at his words.

"My family, we think of ourselves as vegetarians. 'Cause we only survive on the blood of animals. It's like a human only living on tofu. It keeps you strong but you're never fully satisfied. It wouldn't be like drinking your blood, for instance." Edward jokes.

"Was it other vampires that killed Waylon?" Bella asks making Anastasia frown at the others that were like her family, yet were so different. "Yeah, there are others out there. We run into them from time to time." Edward says frowning at his sister's thoughts.

"Can the rest of your family read people's minds like you can?" Bella asks sneaking glance at the couple in front of her. Anastasia's eyes were on the swaying trees and Roman's were on the blonde.

"No, no. That's just me. But Alice can see the future." Edward says making Anastasia perk up at the thought of showing the human her gift. "I bet she saw me coming." Bella shakes her head.

"Alice's vision is subjective. I mean, the future can always change." Edward says, then turns to Ana. "Another day, I think it's time to go back." Sadly, the day seemed to have gone by quicker than they thought.
