A/N: Hey so I'm starting a new story, this is about Bella and Edward meeting in the 1900's, the summary sucked because I'm just writing this. I am as clueless as my readers are about what will happen. Please enjoy and review. And if you have any ideas please share. lol Disclaimer: Characters owned by Stephenie Meyer! (all human!)
peace!
B POV
"Come now Isabella! The sun has risen. Time to move on." Renee shook me as she tried to get me up. It was the first of May, and like we do every month, it was time to move to a new city. We have been preparing for weeks but I didn't want to leave, I liked this beautiful town. No one ran us out, people were very nice here, and they would leave, at most, 5 coins for us when we preformed, which is much more than we usually made. So instead of getting up I gave a sleepy grunt and rolled to my other side. I heard a small 'Hmph' before I felt a cold breeze as she yanked my blanket off of me.
"Excuse me!" I exclaimed snatching the blanket back from her, "Mother! Why can I not sleep in just once?" I asked her, my brown eyes pleading. Renee just gave me a sympathizing look, and shook her head 'no'. To that I gave a sad sigh and went to get ready.
E POV
"Edward honey, time to awake." my Aunt Esme said in my ear, giving me a light kiss on my cold cheek. I simply gave her a nod and began getting up as she walked out, shutting my door. Yawning I stretched, wincing from my sore muscles. I guess that's what you get from working with the father of the girl your courting. He just kept me working hard, testing my strength. I winced again at the thought.
"Edward?" I herd Alice's soft voice as she slowly opened my door. When she realized I was still in my night clothing she quickly shut it again. "Edward?" she said again, just a little louder so I could hear her through the door, "The fair is coming to town today. Will you take me?" she added the last part in a rush.
"Of coarse." I replied, 'As long as I don't have to work in that damned field again.' I wanted to add. I heard a small excited squeal on the other side of the wooden door, and chuckled. She probably was planing on meeting Jasper there, he has been courting her for months now. A pang of jealousy went through my body as I thought of their relationship, how lucky could you get? She loved him and he loved her dearly. I would give anything for that, and thought I had it with Jessica, but every time I saw Alice and Jasper together I was reminded that I didn't. In attempt to distract myself, I began getting ready for the fair.
B POV
It was noon by the time be got to the next city, and I was relieved that we had finally made it. My bare feet were killing me and my back hurt like... well it hurt, badly. Unfortunately, we were behind schedule because of my lateness this morning. So I never got to rest, right when we found the right spot near the carousel we had to set up. A fortune telling booth for my parents, Renee being the fortune teller, a sponge throwing booth for my Aunt and Uncle, and my cousins and I cleared a patch of land for entertainment. My mother always told me that I was meant to dance with my cousins, but I was too clumsy. Therefore I told stories to the children.
Once we set up I started to relax by combing my unruly long brown hair, many of the women that began arriving starred at me in disgust, girls any age were supposed to have their hair up. Yet, that was not something required when you're a gypsy.
As more and more people entered the fair grounds, Renee told me to get my costume on. A light blue 'gypsy' gown, it fit me perfectly. A little to perfectly, my figure was prominent from the out-ward worn corset (idk what it's called!) and the darkness of it looked good against the white sleeves and light blue skirt. And my mahogany hair went well with the matching headdress. I kind of looked pretty, Jacob was coming. Renee walked into the changing tent after asking if I was finished, she smiled at the sight of me.
"I want you to meet someone later on today so don't you go and ruin that dress like you did the others." Yep, Jacob was coming.
"Yes mama. When is he coming?" I asked as innocently as I could. She shot me a glare, then gave me a pleading look.
"Please, Bella, honey. Please, behave Mr. Black isn't that bad when you get to know him." I sighed. Then opened my mouth about to protest, telling her once again that I could find someone on my own. But she cut me off, "Please." she said with a puppy dog pout. I nodded in defeat. Then, with a final glance in the mirror, I headed for the tent opening.
"Yay!" I herd a round of applause as I finished my last story. My cousins were to come on soon, and I am meant to sing the song they dance to. That was fine with me, as long as I wasn't dancing. While preparing I peeked out the curtains we had managed to put up between the two booths, and met a pair of beautiful green eyes.
E POV
We have been at the fair for about 2 hours now, Alice, Jasper and I. We met Jasper at the entrance, and they have held hands ever since they greeted eachother with a light kiss. During that time I felt the green monster rip at my insides.
"Come Edward! The gypsy show is to start soon!" Alice loves the gypsy's, their performances, their stories, fortune tellings, everything. It all amazes her to no extent, in fact they are why we did not leave sooner, she spotted their sign and just had to see them. Yet, out of everything she loves about them, now that I ponder it, is the things they have for purchase. All these treasures from different lands, new fabrics and everything. That was Alice in a nutshell, a pure born shopper.
"Look it's about to start!" Alice began bouncing up and down, I couldn't help but chuckle at her enthusiasm. I followed her orders and looked up towards the curtain, and noticed a sparkling brown eye peering out. Then, just as fast as it appeared, it was gone behind the curtain once more.
"Alice how long will this be?" I asked, tired and hungry.
"I have not an idea, but you will just have to wait." Just as she finished her sentence the guitar music started. The curtains came back, and a beautiful brown-haired, brown-eyed, pale girl stepped up, and was followed by another woman and man. I did not notice them much though, the beautiful woman standing in front of me. 'I need to speak with her.' Was the first thing that came to mind, maybe I could find her after the performance. She was so beautiful.
I had no idea how long I had been starring at this woman, when I found that it was all over and everyone was giving money and leaving. My eyes followed her as she walked away, I ran after her.
I know it's short, but I leave you with a cliffhanger with the promise that I will not update unless i get reviews. Just so you know I have a very good idea of what this story will be like now that I've written the first chapter. I promise it will be better, the next chap. but umm if anyone wants to I need a beta so yeah but before that I need to know how this beta thing works. I know what a beta is and what they do, i just need some more detail. So if you're interested review or what ever. Any comments you have please say them especially if they have to do with something that you felt uncomfortable about or that might help me write better. Thanks hoped you enjoyed it!
peace!
