Prologue: Set in New Moon when Edward goes away.
Disclaimer: I REALLY dont own anything in this story...except the plot. Yay me.
A/n I have been going through a lot of my favorite stories and I realized that nobody ever has her develop her shield as a human, it always happens after she is turned. I find this weird because alice developed hers as a human, much to her detriment obviously. So I thought I would explore this possibility.
He's gone. Actually gone.
I've been repeating this to myself for 4 months now and still it hurts me. What does it matter that my blood called to him? What does it matter that I am the only one he couldn't read? What does it matter that I loved him?
*Love* him.
He finally realized that I am only human, completely ordinary and completely undesirable to a god like him. In fact, I don't even know why I was so surprised in the first place.
I turned off the shower and grabbed one of the towels sitting on the counter. I used it first to wipe off the mirror then wrapped it around myself. It was already wet, but what do I care. I turned to go to the door, and immediately slipped on the wet tile and started falling to the floor. But just as I was preparing for a face plant, I felt nothing. I opened my winced eyes and found myself lying on the floor, just as I had expected to. But there was no pain. I could feel the tile I was lying on and the towel I was still wrapped in, but it was like I had been shielded from the pain.
Now that's just plain weird.
