Chapter 3: The Lion And The Lamb
"What's wrong?" I said
"I'm so sorry, I didn't really notice, I was distracted. Oh Bella" he said with terror in his face.
"I don't understand, what is wrong?" I replied
"Bella, there are a couple of hikers coming toward us, they are a couple of miles from here, we must go now. Can you smell them:? Are you thirsty? He asked anxiously.
I sniffed deeply, wondering why he was so upset, nothing really bothered me, then I explained "I feel a little thirsty, I smelled something sweet but has a wierd smell at the end, like rust is, which was unappetising" as I shaked my head, "I don't want that"
I wish I had had a camera to take I picture of his expression, his eyebrows raised almost touching his hair line, his mouth was open, and quickly close trying to find a response. He did that several times until he was finally able to say "are you sure?" I nodded. "I can't believe that" he said shaking his head. "I had never seen that before in my 100+ years".
"It's that bad?" I asked
"I don't know, but I don't think so" he replied. After a few minutes he said, "they are closer, can you hear or see them now?, you still don't want to drink from them?"
I pinched my nose and shaked my head. "is not really appetising for me" is all I could say.
Edward stood up and held my hand , "Lets get you something else then, we need to feed you"
With that we started running toward his house. Everything around me was sharp and clear, I was running free through the forest not even thinking what I was doing, it was wonderful. I noticed Edward looking at me frequently with an anxious expression in his face. I stopped and said " Edward, what you did to me is what I wanted you to do, don't feel bad because you just made me the happiest person in the universe, now I can be with you forever" he smiled slightly.
All of a sudden I took a deep breath, my eyes opened wide and my thirst became unbearable. "what is that?" I asked in shock.
He look at me and with a surprise look and asked "do you like it?"
"It's the most appetizing and mouth-watering smell I have ever felt" I said
He laugh out loud and reply " that my love, is a lamb"
