Those burning eyes
Bella POV
School wasn't as bad as the day before the only difference there were only 4 beautiful people sitting at their table now no sign of the bronze haired god that I was now infatuated with. Days went on to weeks and I began to think he had perhaps just left my heart ached at that possibility. I was on my way to science when I walked into what I can only describe as a brick wall, I began to stumble backwards when cool hands caught me as I looked up into the golden eyes I could feel my heart pound in my rib cage I was thankful that he couldn't hear it.
"Sorry" I mumbled the scarlet blush creeping up my face again, his eyes were searching my face but then his features turned to stone leaving me breathless and confused.
"Yea well…erm...you should really watch where you're going" he talked through clenched teeth what is with that? I wondered as he released me and pushed me away.
"well thanks anyway being a floor ornament isn't really a good look to have" I chuckled nervously my breathing getting faster my stars what is up with me, you don't even know him and you acting like a puppy I inwardly cursed myself for being so stupid.
And without another word he turned on his heel and walked away and there was me with my mouth hanging open willing the world to open up and swallow me, it didn't and I spent the rest of the day in my head rewinding everything I did and said. I drew a blank the boy was just acting plain weird towards me.
Torment
Edward POV
Argghh why is she tormenting me?? I've been over this over and over again but still she persists. Carlisle warned me about her he could see it coming and he told me to stay away that she was becoming a little obsessed but this, this well just was the final straw.
It all started when the family all went up to spend some time at our cabin in the Alaskan wilderness, we all loved to hunt there the animals blood was more sustaining than the ones in Forks. Whilst we were there we ran into a coven of similar minded vampires, they too had sworn to go against our nature, to be part of civilisation, to feed from animals only. When we introduced our selves I learnt that their names were Lara, Beth, Zach, Ryan and Michelle. Their minds were peaceful happy to find others like them to talk to. Jasper had been acting odd so I waited until we were alone to investigate further.
"Jazz, you've got to tell me what's going on your heads a whirlwind I cannot begin to even make sense of it!" I pleaded with him and I had been for the best part of an hour, one advantage of being a vampire I could literally sit here and ask him all day and all night long until he told me and from the look on his face he knew it too.
"Edward its nothing just be careful ok especially around Lara" the moment he said her name the pictures became clear, she was all too aware that both she and I were the odd ones out in our families and she was determined to make it equal. I groaned in despair this was not what I needed and why on earth hadn't I picked up on this before??
Throughout the week I tried to listen to Lara's mind sometimes it was clear and others it was fuzzy I could feel the thoughts there but I just couldn't pick them out and make sense of it all. In the end it was driving me crazy enough Jasper asked Lara, he said something about his ego not being the one hurt and how he wasn't spending the next week feeling like that.
Lara explained that she has the ability to become and I quote "invisible" not in the sense that she goes all see through but more like people become unaware of her presence even though she would be standing next to them – which explained a lot.
Carlisle was instantly fascinated with the concept and asked so many questions it made my head spin. Lara sheepishly explained that the power was new and that she had not yet gotten a hold of it although she said that when she gets embarrassed she does it without knowing.
"Ohhh, now I understand" Carlisle was deep in thought pacing in front of the fire place.
"Hunny, would you please explain, you know how mad it drives me when you have half of your conversation in your head – only Edward can understand what you mean" she smiled slyly at me I know she was trying to add a bit of humour to the situation after my rant about how unfair this situation was.
"Oh well she is obviously attracted to Edward and every time she's around him she gets embarrassed and so…." He let the sentence hang in the air waving his hand for us to make our own endings up.
Oh was all I could think. This is not good.
…..and I was right.
