Shadow!

Ch.1: Edward!!!

Bella was sitting in the Cullen's living room with Edward and was flipping through random channels on the rather large television. Click. Click. Click. Click. There were no good shows on at ALL. Gosh.

"Edward. Why is there nothing on?" Bella asked, tilting her head.

"Um…What do you mean, Bells, we get over 1,000 channels…And I even saw some of the things that are on…there's cooking shows and Music video's and--"

"Edward. There is nothing good on." She said, and got Edward quiet. She was bored. Very, very, bored. No, that didn't even cover it.

She suddenly got an idea of a little game that was fun when she was younger.

"Hey Edwaaarrd!" she said in a sing-song voice. "Can we play SHADOW?" She asked excitedly.

"Um…sure…what exactly IS shadow?"

"What exactly IS shadow?" Bella copied. Edward still looked confused.

"I don't understand…" He said, his eyebrows creasing.

"I don't understand…" Bella mirrored proudly, her eyebrows also creasing. Edward began to understand the game.

"Ah," he sighed, as did Bella, "Right…Um that is going to get annoying…" He muttered.

"That is going to get annoying." Bella giggled.

"Alright." Edward said.

"Alright."

"If that's how you want to do it, fine."

"If that's how you want to do it, fine."

Edward thought for a moment. Hmmm…something to make her say to…embarrass her? Maybe that will get her off my case and we can stop playing this game.

Bella looked at him intently and he continued to speak.

"Bella is beautiful."

"Bella is beautiful." Her cheeks flushed that delightful color of pink that Edward loved.

"Her blushes make her even more pretty to me."

"H-her blushes make her even more pretty to m-me," Bella stuttered, looking down a little.

"I'm so thirsty…" Edward's eyes wandered, and locked on Bella's.

"Y-you are? I MEAN…I'm so thirsty…" Bella regained her words.

"You look so…delicious…" Edward smirked, and leaned forward.

"AHHHHHH!!! NO EDWARD DON'T!!!!" Bella shrieked, terrified. She jumped about a mile into the air and ran up the stairs. Edward chuckled silently to himself. He stayed on the couch and listened for who Bella would do next.

"Oh, ALLLIIICCCCEEEEE!!!" He heard her call. Apparently over her latest scare.

'Uh-oh…..' Edward said to himself as he listened to Alice's thoughts of taking Bella shopping and giving her a makeover, 'so THAT'S who's next…'
