(Edward's POV)
I watched Esme flit around the kitchen making dinner for those dogs. This was ridiculous. How can she stand to be around them? I knew Carlisle had known Nadi for longer than he'd known me, though how he hid that from me was a mystery. Alice genuinely liked Nadi, which I still don't understand. Esme was just too kind.
Esme turned to me pulling me from my thoughts, "Edward, I don't have any butter left. Can you go to the store and get me some please? I need it for my cookies."
She smiled in her motherly way and I couldn't say no to her. I nodded and left the kitchen, grabbing the keys to my Volvo.
I drove to the store as fast as I could. Once I was inside I headed straight to the butter. I picked up a tub of butter when I smelled the most delicious human I had ever smelled. Bella smelled good, but this was incredible.
Going against my better judgment, I followed the scent around the corner. I stopped when I saw whom the scent belonged to.
She was Native American, no doubt about that. She was turned facing the shelf so I could only see the right side of her face. Her copper skin was beautiful. She was small, five-five, but shapely. Her figure was perfect, full breasts, wide hips, long legs and a flat stomach. She was wearing a simple jeans and a tee shirt, but I couldn't stop staring at her.
She turned to look at me. I got a full view of her face, half of her face was perfect, and the other half was severely scarred, though it did nothing to her beauty. She looked into my eyes. I realized that I was staring into the eyes of my true love.
Looking into this girl's eyes was like Heaven. Her eyes were a hue of brown even more beautiful than Bella's. She stared right back at me, then narrowed her eyes and turned away to leave.
I didn't think, just acted exclusively on instinct and I ran after her.
"Wait!" I called out. She faltered and turned to face me.
"What do you want leech?" She asked. Her beautiful voice was like wind through the leaves in fall. The word 'leech' made me cringe away from her, such an ugly word shouldn't be spoken by someone as perfect as her.
I stared at her, unable to breathe it seemed. I didn't need air anyway, what was I thinking.
"I'm Edward." I said stupidly. She rolled her eyes.
"I know. You're a Cullen but that doesn't mean I trust you." She said.
I tried to listen to her thoughts, but got nothing. Just like Bella.
I smiled softly at her. "Please, I just want to get to know you."
She looked taken aback. I was trying to ignore how exquisite her blood smelled to me.
She looked down. "My name is Emily. Emily Young. Why are you talking to me?" She asked, peeking up at me.
I shook my head. "I can't stop myself from talking to you. You're beautiful." I told her truthfully.
She stared at me again, and then her face darkened. "Try to restrain yourself, then." She spat and then turned away from me again.
"EMILY!" I called out to her. Nearly everyone heard me and turned to look at me. Everyone, but the one person I wanted to turn around. Emily just kept walking. Right up to the cashier and then out the door with her things. I stared after her like an idiot then paid for Esme's butter and went home.
I all but slammed the butter onto the counter. Esme gave me a disapproving look but she figured that I was still upset about having to go to the mongrel's house tonight.
I went into the living room and sat down. Jasper was in there. Great, now he'd know exactly what I was feeling.
'What is that I feel? Love? Coming from Edward? No. Can't be.' He thought as he smirked at me. I turned away from him and ignored his inquiring thoughts.
'EDWARD!' Alice called in her thoughts. I didn't bother to answer her. She didn't say anything more, just showed me a vision she was having of me, with Emily. I smiled and Jasper felt my sudden happiness.
He quirked an eyebrow but I ignored him. This meant Emily would accept me one day. Esme came into the room and told us it was time to go. Carlisle got into his Mercedes but was cursing it for not being a Maserati. I laughed at his memories of him driving Nadi's.
After we were all in our cars, Esme with Carlisle in the Mercedes, Jasper and Alice in her Porsche, Emmett and Rosalie in her BMW and me in the Volvo, we left. I couldn't help but imagine having Emily in the car next to me. I wouldn't be alone if I could just have her. It would be different from Bella. I know Emily is my true soul mate. Bella has Jacob. I will have Emily.
A/N: I know it's short, but I'm just testing it out. How is it so far? I'm going to work on it some more and have a longer second chapter up in a few days or so. ~Ever Uley~
