"My world is not for you," he said grimly. I was left with no choice. I had to tell him about who I really was.
"Edward, there's something I need to tell you," I said slowly. I let my eyes turn to their usual brilliant silver, and my hair it's natural midnight black. He was completely startled. "I'm Athena, the Greek goddess."
"What!" he said, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
"Yeah." I replied, taking a deep breath.
"I just need a minute to process this."
"That's okay."
After a few minutes, he finally looked up at me again.
"Do you want me to tell you about myself, like you told me about yourself?" I said.
"Yeah, that'd be helpful."
"Let's go to my bedroom."
Since I no longer had to conceal my powers from Edward, I teleported to my room. He arrived a second after. We sat on my bed.
"Okay, so do you know Greek mythology?" I asked.
"Yes.'
"Great. So you know that I'm the Greek goddess of wisdom. Do you know what I can do?"
"No, about that I am completely clueless."
"Okay. I'm a goddess, so I'm immortal and can basically do anything I wish to. I can teleport, fly, run as fast as I wish. In addition, because I am Athena, I'm incredibly intelligent. In fact, I'm the most intelligent being in the world" His eyes widened. I winced. "Yeah, I've been hiding a lot."
"So, you don't need my protection?"
"Yeah."
"Of what use am I to you then?" he asked sadly.
"You're my soulmate, the person I love. Never in the hundreds of millennia I've existed have I loved anybody as much as I love you." To prove my point, I reached over to him and kissed him softly. He kissed me back, but more forceful, like he never had before. Then I pulled away and rustled his gorgeous bronze hair.
"I love you." he said.
"I love you, too" I replied softly. I changed my hair a brilliant dark pink, made my eyes topaz like his, made my skin powdery white, made myself smell like vampire, and cooled the temperature of my body. He chuckled. I leaned into him.
"You're still my Bella. My Bella less fragile."
I heard Charlie stomping down the hallway, coming to check on me. In a flash, I turned back into Bella, and pretended to be asleep, while Edward hid in my closet. Charlie peeked into my room, saw me peacefully asleep, and was satisfied. The millisecond he closed the door, Edward was out of the closet.
"Do you sleep?" he asked.
"Nope." I replied. "But I always loved just lying there in your arms, pretending to be asleep." He smiled his crooked smile.
I got into my bed and so did he. And I lay there in his cold arms till daybreak, each enjoying the other's company.
