Stiches
Chapter 3 –North, meet North.
The wolf turned and ran. Fast.
Unable to comprehend what just happened Bella stayed and watched as it disappeared into the thick dense trees. "is it something I said"
She ran her fingers through the gentle grass beneath her hands. Mimicking what she had just done to Paul. They had spent the last few seconds just looking at each other. As if she were part of the pack and he could hear her thoughts. She could see it in his eyes. She was lonely. She reflected in the pupils of the one person she believed who hated her most.
Yet he just sat there and comforted me. Words need not be spoken for someone to start to heal. Time is a concept to some, but to others it's the stiches that weave the broken pieces back in their place. Stiches never fade, and never break. She needed new stitching.
Rustling. Bella's head snapped up to where Paul had left. It was where the rustling was coming from. Her heart quickened from a beat to a rhythm.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" What if it was a vampire? Good job Bella, why don't you just go hug them?.
"You do that a lot" a deep voice replied. It ran like honey, and had her complete interest. His voice was soft but gravely at the same time. She could tell it was a man, a tall man at that. His shadow cast a mile as he started to emerge from the confines of the deep.
"Pardon?" He was getting closer. She could make out every feature graced upon his face. His chocolate eyes stared at her as if she were something to devour. A hungry wolf. His muscles bulged under the plain black T-Shirt he had painted on. He walked with such confidence that It made even her think he ruled the world. His nose was perfect. Soft and defined. His legs were toned and bronze compared to the pale cut offs he had chucked on.
She could feel the heat roll off him as he sat next her. It was as if she had entered the desert. Her throat closed from such close proximity to a God himself. Did Aphrodite have a brother? Surely she must have.
"You get lost in thought"
Did she? In truth Bella had never noticed. Getting lost in her thoughts allowed her to keep together, at least in front in people.
"What are you doing here, Paul? I know I'm not supposed to be here I know. I just... I need… God! Who am I kidding I don't know what I'm doing here!"
"I'm here to tell you something , Bella. Something really important that no one knows. But you have to promise not to freak out ok?"
"Why? Did you decide to turn gay?" Humour. It's a funny thing. Literally. Bella had never been the one to crack a joke, especially at Paul's expense. But feeling so comfortable around him made her believe maybe just this once he'd allow it. Well at least not rip her throat out.
"Very funny Bella. No that's not it. The truth is I've not been honest with you. I've never disliked you, just what you have done to me".
" Paul I've never done anything to you in my life I swear it!"
" But you did Bella. You made me fall in love with you. I'm in love with you Bella. And I want everyone to k now it. Your my imprint. We are meant to be together. Your mine now."
Heart stopped. Slight gasp, and she fainted.
