Twilight 7

Bella marched around Skylar's room, her hands tangled in her hair and her bottom lip pulled between her teeth.

Skylar watched the girl pace with an amused look on her face. Apparently, Bella, Jessica and Angela went to Port Angeles to look at dresses. Bella got bored and went to a book store, then came back and ran into some creepy men. Then Edward appeared out of nowhere in his car and dropped Bella off at her place last night. Bella had stayed up all night reading her book on Quileute legends and researching on google.

She called Skylar early that morning and came over. Skye didn't say anything about what she knew about the Cullens, she wanted Bella to figure it out for herself. By the looks of Bella now she had an idea.

"What do I say to him?" Bella paused her marching and turned to Skylar who wasn't really listening anymore.

"Get him by himself, then tell him the facts and make him admit it," Skylar said plainly, "just don't blurt it out, be confident and act calm,"

"Should I do it at school today?" Bella asked

"If you want and speaking of school we better get going,"

Skylar sat on the bench outside, Jessica sat beside her, while Angela sat on the table. It wasn't raining so the girls took the opportunity to sit in the sun.

"Where's Bella?" Jessica asked, looking around for the brunette.

Skylar looked up and noticed the girl walking to the woods, Edward walked a few feet behind her. Skylar smirked celebrating that Bella finally figured it out and mustered up enough courage to talk to him. "I don't know, haven't seen her this morning," she lied.

Skylar didn't see Bella or Edward for the rest of the day, she didn't care much about it either. She knew how much Edward wanted to be with Bella, but he was just too scared to tell her. Lucky enough Bella took care of that.

"Are you coming over?"

Skylar turned her head to Rosalie and nodded, "Yeah Alice wanted me to,"

"Okay meet us at our car, you can ride with us," she said before walking off.

Rosalie was slowly warming up to Skylar. Skye wasn't sure why because she was just as human as Bella. She assumed it was just because they were forced the spend time with each other. But what Skylar didn't know was that Rose enjoyed seeing Carlisle so happy when Skylar was around.

The rest of the school day went by quickly and soon Skylar found herself walking to the Cullen's cars. She tried to keep her head down so no one would notice her, but she could hear everyone's thoughts as she walked by.

The car ride went very quickly, Emmett was an erratic drive and braced herself. She walked into the house with Alice and was instantly pulled into a hug by Esme. The hug startled her a bit, getting used to physical contact was harder than she expected but still smiled at the embrace.

"Carlisle won't be home for a little bit but are you hungry? I went and brought some food so you can eat when you come over," Esme was very happy to have a human to take care of, this meant she could use the kitchen.

"That would be wonderful Esme, thank you," Skye was kind of confused to why she told her about Carlisle. The conversation about mates came into her head, she wanted to ask someone.

"Edward is upstairs if you want to talk to him. Apparently, Bella found out about us today,"

"Yeah I know, I was the one who pushed her to say something. But I didn't let her know I knew anything," Skye smiled.

"Of course it was you, Bella wouldn't have asked if you didn't push her," Esme laughed as Skye began to head to Edward's room.

she heard the soft classical music coming from Edwards room and gently knocked on his door, "Can I come in?"

Without looking up from his book Edward nodded. Skylar listened to the classical music that was filling the room, "Ravel, piano concerto in G major, 2nd movement," she said.

"Did you guess that?" Edward put down his book.

"No, I knew because The Lab used to play a lot of classical music. I also learned to play the cello and piano. But can I ask you something?" she asked.

Edward turned to her, "You're still going to even if I say no,"

She laughed, but then her face turned serious, "Am I Carlisle's mate?"

Skylar watched as Edward froze. He was quiet for a moment deciding whether he should answer the question, "You need to talk to Carlisle about this,"

"So I am,"

"How did you even figure it out anyway, did you read his mind?" Edward was confused but curious.

"I'm not an idiot Edward and no I didn't read his mind, I figured it out. Plus you kinda gave it away with your reaction." Skylar smirked at her cleverness.

"I think your food is ready, you should talk to Carlisle when he gets home," Edward laughed.

Skylar rolled her eyes before trotting down the stairs. She stopped Esme putting the food on a plate and sat down. She slid it down in front of Skylar, "Thank you,"

Esme smiled down at the human and slid into the seat next to her. Skylar took a bite and almost moaned, "This is so good,"

The two sat comfortably, Skylar's eyes fixed on the food in front of her. She wanted to talk to Carlisle but she didn't know what to say. She figured that Carlisle knew that she was his mate. But Skye didn't understand why he didn't tell her sooner. Maybe it was because he didn't want a psychopath as a mate.

"Why did you guys cook?" Skylar looked up to the sound of Carlisle's soft voice and scooped the last bit of food into her mouth.

He turned into the kitchen to see one vampire and one human, "Oh hello,"

Skye smiled just as Esme stood up and left, it was just Carlisle and her now. Carlisle took Esme's seat at the table as Skylar pushed the plate away. "I wasn't aware that you were coming today,"

"Alice wanted to hang out, but I don't know where she is now?" Skylar said.

Carlisle hummed and silence washed over them. Skylar started down at the table, deep in her thoughts.

Carlisle stared at his mate, "What are you thinking?"

The girl breathed in and out but did not make any eye contact, "I'm your mate, aren't I?"

"Yeah," he nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Skylar felt hurt, she felt stupid, "is it because of my past, is it because I'm a psychopath? A freak?"

"No, no, no," Carlisle fell to his knees in front of her, "I didn't tell you because your only 17 and you've been through so much. I didn't want to burden you with my feelings. You're not a freak or a psychopath Skye, you're powers set you apart, they make you unique,"

Skye raised her eyebrows and looked down at her hands, Carlisle grabbed them, "If you don't want this I will leave you alone,"

"I don't want you to do that, it'll destroy you. But you're right, I'm 17 what will people say?"

"We don't have to do anything yet, we have all the time in the world. You decide when you're ready," Carlisle made sure she understood.

Skylar smiled and lock her eyes with Carlisle, "Thank you, so much,"

Carlisle didn't say anything more, they just sat there, holding hands and staring into each other's eyes. Skylar was glad she was Carlisle's mate, this must have been the connection that Natalia and Henry were talking about.
