Chapter one-
Haunting Beauties
Bella sat quietly in her chair, watching and observing Edward's beauty. She felt so much happiness now that the situation with James was over, now they were safe. Was it ridiculous to feel so much happiness? Were these feeling premature or was it real? Edward looked anxious, he seemed troubled but still he was angelic as he stared into the air at nothing in particular, he seemed confounded.
Jaspers eyes seemed tense, he looked like he wasn't breathing air, he seemed stiff. His eyes met Bella's then turned away. He was now eyeing Emmet. Emmet seemed upbeat as usual, he was playful and full of energy, he seemed at ease. It was as if nothing happened.
Bella felt so comfortable around them and it seemed the feelings were mutual, she had successfully infiltrated their group. Alice and Rosalie were away hunting and they were missed but it was cool to be with just the guys.
Suddenly the room seemed different, there was a change and all three guys went stiff. Bella felt the change but did not quite understand why. Just as Bella turned her head, a very tall African American girl seemed to float by her; she was wearing a bright pink shirt.
It was as if her steps were so graceful she floated on air, even though in reality she didn't. The girl's hair was long and her eyes seemed to brighten the entire room. They glowed and they were an intense hazel color. There was something haunting about this girl.
Suddenly a smile came across the girls face, she was staring at someone. Bella turned to see who the girl was meeting.
There on the other side of the room stood a very tall Mexican girl, she seemed to have the same disrupting look; she wore all black. There was something off about them. The entire room seemed to stare. When the girls reached each other they held hands then sat in a corner alone. They never talked to each other, they just sat side by side but they seemed to be in two different worlds. They stared at nothing, ate nothing and they both seemed to be inaccessible.
"Edward what are they thinking about?" Bella asked.
Edward stared at Bella, he never turned to look at the two beauties.
"The one wearing black sitting on the right isn't actually thinking about anything at all, her mind is empty which is rare. The other one is worried. She feels alone, she is thinking of a guy who left her. She keeps asking herself what she did wrong. Wait a minute this is weird, their speaking to each other, but through their minds, they're not physically talking."
"What are they saying?" Bella asked.
"She is consoling her, telling her it wasn't her fault the guy left. Earlier her mind seemed empty because she was reading the emotions of her friend. It seems to be a bit different from what I do, because she doesn't hear actual words, she just reads emotions. It's like she can read her mood and she can sense things especially since she knows her so well. Keep in mind that it's more so her interpretation of what the other girl feels."
Edward seemed bemused it was as if this was tricky for him to understand.
"Her power is only successful if she has a connection or an understanding of the person. It's sort of not completely reliable if she doesn't. It's stronger and more complex then what Jasper can do, but not quite as in depth as what I do."
Edward turned to look at the girls, his face expression was so inquisitive and this side of him intrigued Bella. He was showing interest in others in a way he never did in the past, it was somewhat baffling for Bella to understand this sudden interest in others. Edward ran his hands through his hair he seemed tense and on edge. Jasper and Emmet were listening to the entire conversation between Bella and Edward and it seemed Jasper had enough of it.
"There is something off balance with those girls," Jasper said now standing.
Just as he said this the girl wearing black stood. She met his eyes and she seemed startled, she quickly exited. Jasper seemed very troubled he quickly exited as well and Emmet followed.
"What are they up to?" Bella asked.
"They're going to find Alice, Jasper is worried that those girls know what we are."
"Do you think they do Edward?"
"No, I think they are concerned about their situation and Jasper is over reacting. However those girls are very different there is something to them, when Jasper's emotions about them went sour she sensed it because his feelings were so strong."
Bella wondered why any of the boys cared at all about these girls, why did the presence of these girls matter. They didn't care about anyone else in the school, this really didn't make sense to her.
"Several people in this room were thinking about the girls but in that second she felt his feelings very powerfully, she noticed him more then anyone else."
Edward stated he seemed so fascinated. Jut then the bell rang and everyone scattered, Edward and Bella would not meet up again until six period. Edward headed one way and Bella went another. Bella looked behind her, Edward never turned around she felt he was keeping something from her.
