So this is my version of Edward's version of New Moon. I decided to call it Forever Dusk because dusk is the darker part of twilight, and obviously Twilight is the name of the first book. Well, I started when Edward & Bella (I call them Edwella for short, FYI) are still together, some things may be slightly repetitive because you've already read it in New Moon, but I hope you like it! Enjoy!-Michelle
DISCLAMER: I obviously don't own Twilight, New Moon, and very soon to be, Eclipse (AHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THAT!) All that is from the book I did not make up, it's all of Stephenie's [Meyer work. If I did own it, I don't think I'd be writing fan fictions. Yup. Okay, now to the story.
Chapter One: Persuasion
I watched her sleep peacefully. She was so pretty. Angelic, one might say. She breathed out heavily and her brows knitted together into a worried expression. Then it turned frustrated, like she didn't understand something. Then she said my name. This wasn't new to me. It happened almost every night. But there was something about the way she said it—she was confused, why was I there? Then it turned panicked, "Edward, No!" She rolled over one her back, "He just does that, don't mind him." I looked at her, wishing I could understand what was going on in her dream. I sighed and went over to her and stroked her face lightly so she wouldn't wake up. She startled me by crying out, "NO!"
I was sure this wasn't aimed at me, but nevertheless, it made me anxious.
"Bella?" I whispered softly in her ear. I kissed her neck softly. Her face became even more panicked than before. I realized she was going to wake up soon, and that I hadn't spent the night with her. Since I didn't want to startle her, I decided I should leave. "Happy birthday" I whispered, and went out the window in a flash of movement.
I ran through the forest thinking about her dream. Why had she been so nervous? I hated not being able to read her mind. I guessed it was probably about me exposing my secret. Yes, I decided, that was probably it.
I had bigger things to worry about. Today was Bella's birthday. I had been really excited about today, but Bella not so much. I could understand why of course. She was older than me now, in a way. But that wouldn't keep us apart. I being almost one hundred years older than her hadn't so far. Nothing could keep us apart, except for the fact that she was risking her life every second that she was with me. That was a problem that Bella was eager to fix, but I wouldn't allow it. It wasn't fair for her. I could control myself and she could live a happy human life. I was certain about as much. I arrived home and opened the door and saw my family scattered everywhere. Emmet and Jasper on the couch—Rosalie and Alice arguing over something I didn't bother to listen to. Esme was sitting and reading something. I assumed Carlisle was in his office. I looked at the clock. It was nearly time to go. I sighed.
"Okay, I'm leaving. If you're coming with me, you need to get into the car now" I looked directly at Alice and Rose, knowing how much their arguments, not very constant but annoying, held us up at times. "He always has to boss us around, like he's the master of all that is. Like Alice can't get to school without him anyway…" Rose's thought's came into my head. I shot her a look. "Right. Who drove you to school almost every day?" I said. "That was until Bella came along." I sighed. "Rosalie. Shut up"She rolled her eyes at me and went up the stairs. Alice went into the car with me. "I'm so excited for today! How's Bella shaping up?" She asked me eagerly"I told you already, she's not very excited about it." I looked at her"Well, I can always force her. It's not like she can resist you anyway" She thought"That's true" I smirked at her.When we got to the school, Bella hadn't arrived yet so Alice and I waited by the car. She was practically jumping up and down with excitement.
"Alice, calm down." I said, slightly frustrated, but I couldn't help smiling at her. It was good that at least one of my sisters liked Bella enough to consider her as a sister. Finally her truck pulled in to the parking space next to ours. Alice, no longer containing her excitement, ran over to her. "Happy birthday, Bella!" She exclaimed so loudly I was sure she meant for anyone in the parking lot at the time to hear.
She shushed Alice, but of course she ignored her. They bickered for a moment and then approached me. I reached my hand out to her and she took it, her eyes gleaming with excitement as they always did when I touched her. Her heart rate excelled and I smiled, hearing it. We talked about her not wanting presents, me playing it up a bit to try to change her mind. No such luck. "Eighteen isn't very old. Don't women usually wait till they're twenty-nine to get upset over birthdays?" Alice asked, though she knew where we where getting at. I tried to hide my anguish over this subject."I'm older than Edward." She mumbled, and she looked truly miserable. I sighed.
We argued a bit about her coming after school to our house, and of course we won. School passed by slowly, though not as slow as it would have if Bella wouldn't have been there. Naturally it would be slow for someone who had learned the material to many times to count. We drove to her house we went to watch Romeo & Juliet. We parked in the driveway. I decided to give her something that would make her forget about her worries. I leaned in close, stopped for a second to make sure I was in control, and kissed her. She rapped her arms around me, and as much as I wanted to enjoy it (and a part of me did), I had to pull away, because I could feel the danger coming on. I could see the faint disappointment in her eyes, but it was all for her own good. Her very scent made me thirst for her, and our kisses even more so.
"Be good, please" I whispered, inhaling her breathtaking scent. I kissed her again, and she remained perfectly still. I knew she treasured our every moment.
She put in the movie as I lay down on the couch. This was going to be interesting. We discussed Romeo for a bit, and at the end I told her about how I envied him about him being able to end his life so quickly. She seemed a little confused, with me being jealous of him. She seemed to think I envied him the girl. That was absurd to the least degree. She seemed surprised about the Volturi, but I saw it as obvious. Like I would, or could, live without her. Charlie came and brought dinner, and then we left in the car. I explained to her about how important this was to my family. She groaned as we pulled into the driveway and she saw all the décor Alice had put up. This was seriously testing my temper. I took a deep breath to keep me from screaming at her. The last thing I needed was to get on her in a worse mood. Not that I liked screaming at her, anyway.
As we got out of that retched truck, she asked me, "If I develop this film, will you show up in the picture?" She looked truly curious. I looked at her and just started laughing. It was fairly hilarious. The absurdity of it all. I faintly wondered who had started on these cynical myths. Then we started into the house. The persuading part was over, now the fun part was about to begin.
So that was the first chapter, I hoped you all liked it. In the dream, he was kissing her neck, and I thought that should be why he kissed her neck in her dream. The same for when he whispered happy birthday. Sorry for the lack of dialogue, but it would basically be the exact same thing, so I just put in descriptive paragraphs instead. I'll update once I get a decent amount of reviews. Thanks and until next time, ciao
