Electricity

Chapter 1

Electrocuted

I do not own any of the characters in this story; they are all Stephenie Meyer's property. Some of the dialogues may be from her books, but I do not own those either. Thank you.

"Mr. Banner backed into the room then-what superb timing the man had-pulling a tall metal frame on wheels that held a heavy-looking, outdated TV and VCR. A movie day- the lift in the class atmosphere was almost tangible. Mr. Banner shoved the tape into the reluctant VCR and walked to the wall to turn off the lights. I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me then…"

Edward's POV

It was shocking what happened the. The second the lights switched off, I felt my body jolt from an unexpected current of …electricity? That's what it felt like. And it really would've been a big jolt to make my body react that way; vampires don't just get shaken up like that at anything. Odd…

All of a sudden, I felt an overpowering urge to reach out and touch her, Bella. It really was incredible what that girl could do to me. Was she even aware of her power over me? At all?

By now, I was really using all my strength, psychological and physical, to not touch her. I had my fists clenched tightly around my waist. I kept repeating to myself: " No, Edward, you don't know how she'll react, don't, you don't know how she feels about you, just don't!" But on the other hand, something was urging me to do it, just one little touch, only her hand.

I was literally battling with myself. And I didn't know is this would ever happen again; I only had one hour. So I decided to take a peek at Bella. She was in the same stance as I and peeking shyly, or so I thought , at me from under her lashes.

I grinned at her, finding it ironic that she was in the same situation as me. Could she feel it? That odd electricity flowing between us? From what I could tell, she did. However, I knew it'd be bad of me to do what my heart desired, hadn't I told her it'd be better if we weren't friends? But hadn't I just denied all of that by stepping into her life constantly? What I was feeling right now was nothing like the craving of her blood. It was just as strong but, different. War broke out between my emotions. There she was, Bella, the reason for all my troubles, yet the one I wanted, sitting so close. I'd only need to reach out…

And then I realized that Bella might as well know my feelings, now, sooner than later, before it was too late and she'd gone with someone like that Newton guy. Ugh. She was most likely to run away screaming eventually, better make it before I grew too attached, though I knew it was too late for that. And so that's when I touched her for the first time.

I reached down and gently, ever so gently, picked up her hand from where it was tucked around her waist. To my dismay, she tensed. However, she quickly relaxed when I looked her in the eyes. Now that I was holding her hand, I was alarmingly aware of the renewed strength of the electricity. My mind was a jumble of pictures, images flashing by s quickly even I couldn't keep up!

And then I felt warmth seeping through my veins. How long it had been since I'd been warm! I could feel fire, a very gentle fire, burning up my veins and making my blood course through them. Wait a second! My blood? I didn't have blood! It was the oddest sensation, and I could've sworn that my heart was beating. Incredibly, I felt alive again.

I was so warm and comfortable. I had a newfound energy pulsing through me. I glanced at Bella, she obviously wasn't feeling the same thing, for she was relaxed, the image of serenity, as she gazed into my eyes. She had a peaceful smile playing on the corners of her pouty lips and all trace of her former tenseness had vanished. And it was when I looked deep into those chocolate brown eyes that I became aware, really aware of the jumbled images bouncing in my mind…
