From Bella's point of view
Edward pulled back slowly and twisted his neck to look in the general direction of the rock.
"Um… Do you happen to know what that was?" He turned and looked at me with those solid black eyes of his.
"Well… I'm not… exactly sure."
We were now both looking in that general direction with puzzled looks on our faces. He slowly (Slowly for a vampire.) got up and went to the exact spot where it had landed. After observing the surrounding area for a few seconds, he returned by my side with the rock in hand. He sat down and put it in front of us.
"I wonder… Why don't you just concentrate on it for a little bit…"
"Ok then…" I stared at the rock for a little bit, and when nothing happened I really tried to focus in on it. We let a minute go by, but when nothing happened, I gave up.
"Ok, maybe not." He finally said.
"What were you thinking?"
"That just maybe you had found your gift… But I guess not."
We both turned and stared into each other's eyes.
"Do you think I'll ever discover it?"
"Patience my dear, patience."
He gently grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. "Let's go out to the river."
We walked out to the small river just outside of the circle and began to follow it. We casually walked along the side of it with his arm around me and my head on his shoulder. I was so glad I was no longer clumsy. If I was this day might just be a lot more painful.
From Edward's point of view
Me and the love of my life were now walking down the side of the river. My arm was around her, and her head was on my shoulder. I had never revealed this spot to anyone, but for her I would do anything. As we were walking, I thought I saw something moving in the corner of my eye across the river. I turned to look at it, but it was gone.
"What's the matter?" She asked my in that angelic-like voice I had grown to love.
"Oh nothing. I just thought I saw something." Actually, I knew I saw something across the river. It was something -or someone I should say- that I hadn't seen in years.
"We should get back. It's starting to get dark."
"Well, ok then."
"Race you back!"
From Bella's point of view
As soon as he said that it was off. I ran after him as fast as I could, and I actually caught up to him! But of course I think he was letting me… We were back to the circle in no time. I hadn't noticed that he had stopped, or turned around for that matter, and I ran into him. He wrapped his arms around me and I looked into those solid black eyes.
"Bella, promise me that you won't come here alone."
"Why?"
"Just promise."
"Ok, I promise." We walked back to the Volvo hand in hand and we started to drive away. He began to hum my lullaby, then, suddenly, I tensed up again, and an empty Porsche sitting on the side of the road smashed into a tree without any outside help.
