Chapter 3
BPOV
I reached for Edward's hand as the last waves of fire coursed through my veins. He willingly gave it to me and let me hang on to him. In three days…three long days I hadn't made a sound; I knew that he hated it when I was in pain and it was easier for both of us if I just gripped him as hard as I could…though in the past few minutes every time that I gripped his hand he let out a whimper.
When the pain finally ceased I let go of the hand that I'm sure would have been crushed if it were human, and we both let out sighs of relief. I opened my eyes and then squeezed them shut again. "Everything is so clear!" I said and heard Edward chuckle.
"You get used to it." He said causing me to open my eyes again and take in my surroundings. I could see everything; all of the dust in the air, the cracks in the ceiling, everything. I turned to Edward, eager to see him for the first time since he bit me and met his gaze.
"Carlisle!" He yelled causing me to sit up faster then I though I was capable of. "What's wrong? Edward answer me!" I yelled grabbing onto his shoulders causing him to wince. I turned my head as Carlisle came into the room and he gasped too. "What's going on?" I asked.
Neither of them answered but Carlisle looked pointedly at Edward who gently took my hand and helped me up off of the bed. He led me to the mirror in his bathroom and had me look at my reflection.
I gasped; not at the fact that I now put Rosalie to shame, but at my eyes…my chocolate brown eyes. "What's wrong with me?" I asked Carlisle.
He looked at me intently for an instant before a smile made its way onto his face. "Bella are you thirsty?" He asked. I thought for a moment before answering. "No…should I be?"
"Bella my dear." He said. "Any other new born would be dragging us off to go hunting right now; I think that your eyes are brown because of your aversion to blood as a human…you don't have blood lust!" I stood shocked for a moment, thinking over what I was just told before looking at Edward. His face held the brightest grin I had ever seen.
Without thinking I launched at him, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck I hugged him as gently as I could. "I love you." He whispered in my ear. "I love you too." I whispered back.
Carlisle left us to give us privacy so Edward and I made our way back to his room. "Can we go to the meadow?" I asked, I was longing to get some fresh air after being stuck inside for three days.
"Of course my love." He replied, gazing lovingly at me. We made our way downstairs and out the door, I waved at the rest of the family as we left and they seemed to understand that I just wanted to be with Edward for now. When we stepped outside Edward grinned at me and then took off running, on instinct I followed. I let out a laugh as my feet danced over the ground and I didn't trip at all.
As I concentrated on following him I noticed that I wasn't even pushing myself to keep up with him, I stretched my legs; lengthening my stride I quickly surpassed him and with a giggle I spun around and tackled him as soon as we made it to the meadow.
As I straddled his waist looking down into his topaz eyes I felt perfectly at home. I leaned down and kissed him, slow and gentle. My hands wove their way into his hair and his moved to take off my shirt. And there we were, making love in the green grass.
