Chapter 3

The moonlight glowed in her hair softly, also tracing her beautiful features; her delicate pale skin, her perfect nose, and full and luscious lips. She tried to stand up, but I still had her in my arms. I quickly realized what she wanted to do, and I helped her to do so.

She finally managed to stand up in both of her feet. She lightly blushed and said, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you. I am running late and I tripped in my way, put some high heels on me and I'm ready to die" and she half smiled. Her blue gown lightly moved in the dark catching a glimmer of moonlight, making her looking more of a Greek goddess than a normal human.

I was blown away by her perfect smile and somehow I still managed to give a coherent sentence, or so I thought. "Don't be sorry, it was my pleasure to have saved you from so frightful destiny." I took her hand and kissed it. Something in her face radiated in the dark garden, shinning like the moon itself. It probably was the light make up she wore, that made her glow like an angel.

"Thank you so very much. Now, if you excuse me, I need to head down to the ball room."

She removed her hand from mine and started to walk away. I stayed there stunned and dazzled by her sole presence. I shook the stupor from me and realized what she just said. I turned around and jogged to catch up with her.

"I apologize for my rude manners. I'm Edward Cullen," I said, giving her one of the smiles that Alice loved.

She stopped and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Without a count, prince, or king?" she asked, with a curious tone.

I smiled again, "I'm Edward, lets just leave it at that," her sense of humor was remarkable.

She smiled back, "Ok, if you say so, then, I'm Isabella, but just call me Bella."

"No countess, princess or queen?" I asked playfully.

"I didn't make the rules," she said with a smirk. I was once again amazed by her perfection.

I chuckled at her reply, "true. May I escort you inside?" I asked, hoping that she'd say yes.

"I'd love to, but its better if nobody sees us together." She simply stated.

My hope immediately shattered in a million pieces and instantly knew what it felt to be rejected, "oh" I said somberly, and tried to hide the hurt in my eyes.

"My mom's going to announce that I'm getting married." My hope that was already shattered, completely vanished into dust, but the look in her eyes told me that she didn't mean her words, that there was still hope.

"You are getting married?" I asked warily, knowing that this was a very personal question, and she may not answer it. I prepared myself mentally for her reply.

"Yes," her voice was barely audible, quieter than a whisper, and her beautiful eyes filled with complete sadness and sorrow. I just wanted to hold her, and remove those feelings from her, but I was afraid that my barely reconstructed hope could shatter again for the rejection.

I waited patiently for her to break the silence, and was very relieved when she finally did.

"I'm getting married, but instead of a holy union, it will just commit my soul to the devil himself." She stated with a pained tone.

Oh!, I thought,she's being forced to get married. This is just so common, even in these days. Poor Bella, I bet I can rescue her from such destiny.

I was very careful to disguise the smile that slowly grew in my face, while my heart was pounding harder in my chest, swollen with joy and happiness. I was sure she could hear the drumming of my heart, because I was able to hear it like it was on high volume.

"Oh, I see," I said trying to keep my voice casual.

"Well, I need to get back in." She quickly wiped the tears that I didn't notice before from her cheeks with her delicate fingers. I just stared at her exquisite face, sculpting her face in my heart.

She chuckled, "what are you looking at?"

"I'm just looking at your beautiful eyes." I quickly lied, I didn't feel the need to tell her that I was tracing her features with my gaze and graving it in my heart.

She blushed again and I just contemplated in awe the lovely pink that rushed in her cheeks.

"I really should get back inside, Mom's going to be mad if she sees me with any other man that is not Jacob."

Jacob, Jacob Black, the count of Netherlands? I heard that he was marrying Princess… Isabella, of Denmark! How could I be so stupid, and let myself fall for her? I should have known better. And she was right, it was better if nobody saw us together, her family was my family's long time enemy, fighting for some stupid nonsense.

"Yes. You are right." I replied coldly. It was better if I didn't grow attached to her, but just the thought of having met her and couldn't have her was much too painful to bear. I decided that if I just ignored this night, I could move on with my life.

"It was very nice to meet you Bella." I took her hand and gave a soft kiss on it, and walked away quickly. After the first minute of being away from her, I decided that ignoring her would be next to impossible, so I just accepted the truth. I could never have her.
