Thanks to DreamOfTheEndless for her all around amazingness. I want to squeezy hug her, but Canada is way too far away from Texas. :'(


Chapter 2 - Enticement (EPOV)

She steps into view, skittish and wild.
Both of us aimed for the kill.
I blink.
She attacks.
Seizing the moment as I watch.

All these years.
Alone.
Thinking I was fine.
She makes me realize I'm not.
I'm mesmerized.

I shift, she stands.
A silent dance, taking each other in.
I introduce, "I'm Edward."
She smiles, hands meet.
A spark.
"Isabella," she replies, but I can call her Bella.
The name suits her. She is beautiful.

Is she surprised by me?
Can't really tell.
Her mind, strangely silent.
Enthralled and intrigued.
I need to know her.
Offer an invitation.


Chapter End Notes:

So, he meets the mysterious vampire. Were you right in who you thought it would be? Will she accept his invitation? Leave a review and let me know. =)

See you tomorrow!
