A/N: Hey you guys and gals! I'm sorry I didn't update when I said I would, I got sick Friday night. Now I just have to not eat at Applebee's. Anyways, I hope you doodles enjoy this chapter. Midnight Moons: Meeting Miss Bella
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. This makes me sad. But, I do own my Juke! That makes me happy!
"How the hell did you know that?" I sat straight up at the realization that I hadn't mentioned Riashi, or my dream.
"I can read minds. Except Bella's. That I cannot explain. Alice can see others' futures and Jasper, who you will meet soon, can feel and manipulate others' emotions." I nooded.
"That's grear and all, but let us get back to the more important matter at hand. You can read my mind? You can see my dreams?"
"Yes, I can. But only when I'm paying attention or within a certain range."
"How long have you been paying attention? Because I'm pretty sure your 'range' is more than a few feet."
"Since the beginning." He shrugged and walked away. Oh no, Edward! Get your skinny vampire ass back here! I thought. Now that I knew he could hear my thoughts, I was going to scream them to the heavens. He still hadn't come back. I switched gears; maybe if I thought about something more pertanent to him, he would answer.
How's Bella? Is she okay? he was at the door in a flash. I knew that would work.
"She's just fine. She's awake if you want to meet her."
"Of Course!" I jumped off the bed and ran toward the door. He smiled and led me down the hallway.
"So, are you ever going to tell me?" Edward asked. I threw a confused look at him.
"About what?" I asked.
"Rias-i." I stopped. He did the same, looking at me intently. I decided this wasn't something Alice and Carlisle had to hear just yet.
One, your pronouncing it wrong. Two, unless I have to saty in this area for any reason, you won't really need to know about him. If I do, then, and only then, will you need to know about Riashi. For safety reasons. Do we have an understanding? I looked into his deep butterscotch eyes. I tried to mask my pleading, but most likely failed. I was an easy read. At least, to Riashi I was.
At that moment, I felt a surge of emotions run through me. Anger, confusion, sadness, and pain all welled up inside me, ready to bust out.
"Why would he be dangerous?" Edward asked.
"I never said he would be." I didn't look at him as I said this.
"I won't mention it."
"Thank you. Now, can we do something other than stand here looking stupid?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood. It worked; Edward smiled. We walked down the satirs in silence.
"Edward? Where are you?" I heard a girl's voice ask.
"She's deffinatly up." I smiled and tilted my head to the side.
"I know, I heard." He gave me a questioning look. "I have supersonic hearing. Just one of my many odd qualities." He looked as if he wanted to ask more, but we stepped into the room where the girl's voice had come from.
I immediately felt queasy. The place ranked of antiseptic and plastic gloves: I felt my head buzz.
"Are you alright?" I heard the girl's voice ask. Must be Bella.
"Too clean in here." I replied shakily, closing my eyes. I needed to get out of here fast or risk fainting. I went out and sat on the comfy couch again. My head immediately cleared as soon as the smell was gone. I opened my eyes and took a few deep breathes.
"Don't worry about it." Bella said, sitting across from me. "I'm the same way about the smell of blood. It's all rust and salt to me."
"I'm sorry. You're marrying a vampire and you can't stand the smell of blood?" That had to be one of the weirdest things I'd ever heard.
"Yeah, I know it's weird. But ya can't choose who you love. But when it's right, you're okay with loving them and just have to hope they love you back." She smiled as Edward sat nest to her and took hold of her hand. I thought about what she said and realized she was right. I should know that more than anyone.
"How?" Edward asked.
"Okay, now that's just really annoying." I sniped.
"What? Oh! I'm sorry. I kinda forget he can read minds since he can't read mine." Bella laughed. It was one of those laughs that affected everyone in the room.
"So, how'd this happen anyway?" I asked when we'd calmed down.
"Well, I moved to Forks about a year ago to live with my dad, Charlie. We met in biology and then he saved me from being crushed by a van." Edward winced at this. "Then, we just feel for each other." I nodded. Then Bella suddenly smacked herself on the head and hugged me. Needless to say, it was awkward.
"I never thanked you for saving my life. So, thanks." She sat down again.
"Right. No problem." I said, still a little shocked at her sudden outburst. She giggled again, Her cheeks turning a bright strawberry-like color.
"I'm being really stupid today. What's your name?" I chuckled.
"El." She smiled. I was really starting to like Bella. She seemed like an amazing friend to have.
"Bella! Oh, sweetie, thank god you're alright!" We all turned to see a beautiful woman with long brown hair run into the room. She gave Bella a motherly embrace.
"Esme, it's alright. I'm okay." I looked back at the door to see three more vampires looking-one was glaring- at us.
Oh goodie! Here comes the brigade.A/N: So, what did you think? I hope I didn't smash Bella's character… I'm now mad at my computer because it doesn't know Esme's name. This makes me sad…Anyways, I'm excited because next: We "meet" the Cullens… This excites me.Oh and I have a new poll for this story. PLEASE vote. Now, to the purple button! Crazily Sane Pancake
