Bella Point of view:
It's has been one week since I promised Jacob I would go to the circus with him, and to make all clear the worst week of my life! He hasn't stopped talking about It since! I was getting bored, stressed and mad at him. He looked like a five-year old child. I was sleeping in my comfortable and warm bed when Jacob woke me up.
"Bella! We are going to the circus today and I don't care if you have test tomorrow!"- He said jumping in my bed making me abruptly wake up.
"Shit! Jake! I said I will go with you, but not today! I have to study, and stop jumping on my bed!"- I said as I was putting the pillow on my head so I couldn't hear all his screams.
"We are going today and I don't care about your stupid test! You grades are great so stop being a nerd!"- It was unbelievable how Jake could be more stubborn than me sometimes. Stupid promise! Why did I say I would go? Oh yeah! Because he passed a whole day poking me all the time. Charlie yelled from downstairs.
"God, bells! You are going with the kid to the circus today! And I don't want to hear any of this anymore!"- I guess I wasn't the only one who wanted Jake to stop. I pulled my blanket making Jake fall on the floor.
"Why are you so aggressive sometimes, Bells?"
"Listen kid. I'm going with you so I don't want to hear your voice until we get there!"- I stood up and went to the bathroom for a shower. I stayed there as longer as I could until Jake started to punch the door. I was trying to relax or I wouldn't handle Jake's screams all night. Unfortunately, we arrived almost an hour before the show starts because Jake wanted to sit in the front, I don't know why he wanted this because he was huge! It was out of the normal for a fifteen years old guy. I felt the laziness get hold of me while we were waiting so I decided to take a walk around the tent to wake up a bit.
Most of normal circus, at least the ones I visited were full of animals, smalls and dirty. But this one wasn't the type of circus that usually comes to a city like Forks, it was huge and everything was of the best quality, clean and well decorated. I was walking between some tents when someone screamed.- "EDWARD! ARE YOU A RETARD OR WHAT? GIVE ME THAT BACK!"- Suddenly something or someone ran into me and I saw myself falling to the ground, but a pair of strong arms and pale hands held me away from the floor. I looked to the person who saved me and forgot how to breathe.
"I'm- I'm sorry."- His voice was velvet and sweet. I never saw someone so gorgeous in my entire life! He looked like an angel or a Greek god. I felt my cheeks got warmer because of his stare. Great! Why do I have to be blush in time like these? He saw me getting red so with a crooked smile appearing in his face he put made me stood up. I was still hypnotized when he spoke again.- "My name is Edward Masen. I'm sorry for this."- It took me sometime to find my voice again.
"Hm… it's okay. I'm Isabella Swan. But call me B-Bella."- My voice cranked a bit in the end when I noticed he was still holding me by the waist, close to him. He noticed and soon released me from his hold blushing a light shade of pink. How cute! He is blushing! Ok! Ok! Stop! Control yourself girl!
"Nice to meet you, Bella. Hãn…Shouldn't you be inside the tent right now? The show is about to begin."- He said as he passed his hands through his messed reddish-brown hair, looking nervous.
"I need to walk before i…"- I stopped talking when a huge and muscular guy came into view. He had brown curly hair and with a not so kind face, he could be really scary. He came and punched Edward on the neck.
"Shit Edward! Are you some freak? Rose is going to kill me of don't get this back…"- Noticing me staring at him with a scared face he abruptly stopped and talking with me in a more normal voice.-"Oh…Hi! I'm Emmet. You can relax now I don't bite, unless of course you ask me to."- He gave me a malicious smile; Now, I'm scared of him.
"Emmet, this is Bella."- Edward said breaking the weird silence.
"Do you guys work here?"- I decided to make a small talk so I would have some more time away from Jake. I like him, but it's just that sometimes he can be really annoying.
"Yeah. Emmet is a acrobat and I'm an illusionist and acrobat a bit."- Well that would explain his strong arms.
"Don't forget you can also play guitar and piano and sing, Eddie."- Emmet said making Edward look more nervous then he already was. I was still thinking about Edward's arms. Believe me, I'm not pervert, but he was wearing a tight shirt right now. And the sing part was obvious for someone with a velvet voice as him. He was just becoming more perfect.
"Wow! Do you really do all this?"- I said in a teasing voice.
"No…I'm just always looking for something new to do. I get bored really fast."- Then the music from the main tent started to play making clear I had to go and met with Jake. I said goodbyes for both and ran to sit next to Jake and tell him all about it. As soon I got in the lights went off and a pale man with a really light blond hair and gold-brown eyes came in the center of the tent.
"Welcome my dears to the cirque of illusion! I'm Carlisle, your presenter this night."- He announced the acrobats then the lights went off again and on again. He had disappeared, making place for a show of lights that made everyone look up, where a beautiful blond woman with angelical features were in position to jump and on the other side I saw Emmet preparing to jump either. They began to fly in a perfect synchrony and an amazing choreography. I never saw someone do these crazy stuffs! They were awesome! The lights went off and on again, this time making the whole place look darker and scary; Carlisle appeared in the middle of the stage announcing the next show.-
"My dear friends. In a few minutes you all will have an amazing moment. Here, nothing is impossible, and not everything is real. I'm glad to announce the Esmerald Magician" .- He disappeared and in his place appears my Adonis. He was wearing a hat that hid part of his face, unless when he looked up and his esmerald-green eyes came to view. And with a black and white that gave him a bigger mystery air more than ever.
"Good night, dear visitors. Today, I will try to change completely the idea of reality and illusion that you have." – His tricks were amazing. All the audience watched him carefully and with admiration.- "For the next trick, I will need a voluntary. Let's see who…"
He began to walk around the stage searching and stopped in front of me, eyeing me straight in the eyes. For a few seconds I lost myself into his gaze; completely fascinated by his green eyes. The flash of light that came upon me released me from this state of mind, almost making me blind.
"Would you like to be my voluntary, Lady?"- He said as he extended his right hand to me. I smiled and felt my cheeks getting hotter; I accepted nodding. He gave me a crooked smile and I took his hand. I could feel a wave of electricity when our hands touched. He guided me to the center of the stage and presented me for the audience.
Edward's point of view:
I was getting more nervous as the time was passing. I really wished Emmet's plan could work. As I asked Bella if she would like to be my voluntary for the night, I saw her deep chocolate-brown eyes and got lost in them. I knew I could spend the eternity looking into those eyes. I focused on the plan and lead her to the stage. Before I could began with it, while she was being prepared by Tanya for the trick, I walked towards her and speak in her ear to give her some instructions.
"Don't worry, Bella. Nothing is going to happen, just follow the instructions I gave to you…"
I noticed that she had stopped breathing and blushed with my closeness to her. She was really an angel; I smiled to myself, glad I was the one who already had this power upon her. Tanya got her in position while I explained all the process for the audience. The lights went off, and when they got on again Bella was on the top of the tower of acrobatics. I could see her eyes get wide when she saw the height she was. I got a more nervous and worried about her. What if she had some problem with this height or if she pass out?
Bella's point of view:
OH MY DEAR GOD! How I got up here? A few seconds ago I was on the floor next to Edward, and now I'm locked to this security cables and on the tower!!! HELP!! I stated to feel sick and my head began to rotate; so I held more firmly the cables so wouldn't fall from here. Besides there was nothing between the floor and the tower that would catch me. I saw Edward eyeing me from down there and then the lights came off and on again and he appeared in the other side on another tower. He gave me his crooked smile, I got hypnotized and more dizzy. For a second I lost my balance and fell from the tower.
I began to scream and closed my eyes waiting for the shock with the floor or the cables. But nothing like this came, however, I felt a pair of strong and family arms catch me and held me close to a hard chest. I opened my eyes and saw Edward looking at me with a worried expression, but when he saw me opening my eyes, his gaze softened and a small, shy smile came to his face. I forgot I was in the air being hold only by a pair of cables.
Edward's Point Of view:
When I got to the tower I saw her get dizzy and fall before the right time. Damn it! She will get serious hurt falling like this. The shock of the cables might break her spine or worst: her neck!! I got desperate and jump to catch her. I got her seconds before the cables could be completely stretched. I looked at her searching for any kind of injury. Then she opened her eyes and looked to me blushing a cute shade of pink. Man, this girl is going to be the death of me.
Emmet's point of view:
I thought Edward wouldn't be able to catch her before the cables stretch, but he did it. I don't know how but he did. I began to scream and jump around like a five-years-old child. I was so glad my plan worked out! Even with this unexpected fall before the right time. I had this plan the time I saw her outside, and I knew that since Edward saw her in front of her school the day we were visiting the town, he couldn't get her out of his mind. So I decided to help my little brother.
Edward's point of view:
I got Bella to the tower again so we could go down. She stared at me for a while then when she remembered she was on the air, her eyes got wider and full of fear as she began to shake. She was so scared that even already on the tower, she didn't let go of my neck or my embrace. Not that I'm complaining, I was loving to have her body so close to me; I could feel the heat coming from her. But I need to calm her down or she would be in this state of shock for ever.
"Bella? Are you okay?"- Seeing her like this made me start to think if it was such a great idea to do all this. - "Bella! Please say something…"- I shook her bit and she finally came back to normal, stepping away from me a little, but I still didn't let go off her waist.
Bella's point of view:
"Oh my god! Edward! I thought I was going to die!"- Edward was looking at me worried and scared. I took a deep breathe and tried to calm him down. - "Listen…I'm fine. You can let me go now."- I said giggling a bit and blushing hard because he was still holding my waist. I wasn't complaining about it, it felt nice to have him close. He let go and turned to the audition.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you all have enjoyed the show but I will have to end it sooner. I'm really sorry."- Everything went black again while Edward held me to get down the tower. We passed through a passage I haven't noticed before leading us to a small and very comfortable room.
