Disclamer; i dont own twilight!!
I looked up to see who my savor was. My eyes once again met with those beautiful golden eyes. He looked mad, like he was in pain. He was holding on to me, like his life depended on it. I couldn't place the emotions I was feeling being this close to him. He was so cold. His fingers felt like little icicles. The cold wasn't bothering me though, it was the mini surges of electric I could feel pumping at the points our skin met. Did he feel it too. Is that why he looks in pain? So many questions were filling my mind. "What are you thinking?" My savor asked me. Wait, What a strange question to ask. I could feel the blush bursting onto my cheeks at the sound of his voice so close to me. He had this smell protruding off of him. It was somewhat musky, a little bit like trees, but it was so good. "Um. Im not really sure," I mumbled. "How did you reach me so quickly?" He looked confused, his eyes searching for somebody. He shook his head slightly, I herd a small gasp behind me. "Im a fast runner." The way he answered, made me feel like he was asking a question, rather then answering one. "Edward, you can put her down now." Came another beautiful voice. It must of belonged to the woman I had seen before. His name was Edward. What a beautiful name. I couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of him putting me down. That our contact would be broken. As he lowered my feet towards the floor I gripped his shoulders. Zap! The electric shock was back, it pulsed through my hands and I stumbled back. My body felt weak. My legs couldn't support myself. This had never happened to me before. He reached out to steadying me, which only made my blush deepen. He had a slight look of amusement on his face. "What was that?" I looked at him for an answer. "I.. I don't know." "Im sorry, I have to go now." I pulled from his grasp, grabbed my cart and ran. I wanted to just leave, but I knew that I would just have to come back, if I didn't grab the meat for tomorrows dinner. I didn't really pay much attention, just grabbed the first stuff I found and made my way to the check out. I could hear a phone ringing behind me, but I chose not to turn around. I tried not to listen but I could hear him. "Wait Alice slow down, I cant understand you." Alice? Another pang of jealousy went through me. Why did I feel this way towards a complete stranger. I thanked the checkout boy and made my way to the door, when I felt a cold hand grab my arm. Without turning around I knew it was him, my Edward. Wait did I just refer to him as mine? "Please, wait." He spoke so softly. I felt my heart begin to beat fast again. "Why?" I questioned. "I don't know how to explain. I just know that something bad will happen if you leave to quickly." "What are you talking about, Im fine." I began to mutter. His phone ran again. He gave me a sheepish look. "Im sorry I have to take this," still not letting go of my arm he took his phone out of his pocket and began to speak.. "Yes Alice." He looked worried. "Are you sure?" He looked at me again, he smiled at me and released my arm. "No Alice I will not say that." he chuckled slightly. " Ok, ill see you at home." He hung up the phone, I felt his fingers under my chin. He tilted my head up an inch or so and looked me in the eye. I didn't realize I had be so obvious about watching him the whole time he was talking. Watching his lips move, his intake of breath. Man, I must look like a freak, staring at him like that. "Im sorry about that," he apologized. "My name is Edward. I didn't get to properly introduce myself before. Are you new to forks?" "Yes and no, I used to live here when I was younger, but after…." I stopped. I didn't need to tell him everything, "I just returned today after living out of state for a few years." "Oh, well welcome back. It was nice to meet you, and im glad your ok."" "Thank you again, but I really do have to go now." I said as I tore my eyes away from him. I started walking towards my truck, I could sense that he was following me. I didn't know what to do. Was he some crazy stalker who wanted to kill me. Was he going to follow me home? I wasn't sure If that would upset me or not. I think I may of hit my head?! Im not making sense.
(this is the first time I have ever tried to write from his point of view. So im sorry if it sucks.)
Edwards P.O.V
I was playing my piano when I herd Esme asking Alice to go with her to the store to buy groceries.
"I promised Jasper I would go hunting with him. Sorry Esme, Maybe Edward will go with you." Alice replied aloud. "Edward, go with her, she doesn't feel like she ever sees you anymore, I promise you'll have fun." She then thought.
Sometimes I thought that hearing peoples thoughts was a curse. I never got any privacy in my own head. I couldn't count the ties when I had herd things I didn't want to. When the girls at school would look at me in class, they would start to have daydreams, think about me in a sexual way. Sometime it amused me, but most of the time I would just feel like ripping there heads off. Especially when it was that Jessica Stanley or Lauren. Those girls needed lives.
"Im coming ma," I called to Esme as I finished my last piece on the piano. "as long as I can stop at the music store on the way back." (A.N. I know in books/movies there isn't a music store in forks, but im adding one for this.)
"Of course dear."
Fifteen minuets later we was in the back of the small grocery store. I was listening to the thoughts of the shop owners from the front of the store.
"Isn't she grown up now, looks so much like her father."
"I wonder why she decided to come home."
"Still as clumsy on her feet, I guess something's never change."
"Such a sad situation, some people don't have any luck at all."
I couldn't help but feel sympathy for this person. I didn't even know who they was thinking about, but I guess something bad must of happened to her. Sounds like she ran away for a while. I couldn't blame her for that, I did the same thing when I changed.
"I don't understand why we are wasting our money on stuff we wont even eat!" I muttered to Esme. All of a sudden I wasn't in such a great mood. I guess it was thinking about the past.
"Honey, you know we have to keep up appearances. What would the people of forks think, if we never came to the store to buy food," Esme thought, whilst looking at the bottles of taco sauce. "oh and watch what you say out loud, what if someone hears you."
"Its still a waste of money, and I know nobody can hear us, because I can only hear your thoughts, and the owners are way in the front of the store."
"Alrite. I agree Edward, it is a waste of money, but if the town found out that we don't buy food, suspicions would arise again, and then we would have to move. You don't want to get up and leave again do you? You didn't have to come with me." A slight anger showed in her face as she thought this.
"No Esme, I know I said I would come with you, im sorry for moaning, I just wanted to go to the music store before we go home, and if you take any longer, picking what sauces to get for the tacos we will never eat, then it may close before we get there." Her face turned back into a smile as I apologized.
"That's ok. Come on help me pick this sauce, and then we can leave we have enough stuff for today."
At that moment I had a sudden feeling we was being watched. I could hear a heartbeat, way to close for it to belong to the thoughts, I could hear at the front of the shop. That's when I saw her. Her head was barely showing over the aisle top. She had brown hair in a long pony-tail. She was pale, not pale like us, but pale like she hadn't seen the sun in a few years. Her eyes were dark brown, so beautiful I wanted to just get lost in them all day long. I could smell her now, so much more appealing then mountain lions, she smelt like strawberries, and for the first time in a hundred years I felt human.
She must have panicked, she started to fall backwards.
"Oh no!" Esme Cried in her head. "Help her Edward."
But I was already going, I was in the aisle, I pushed the shelves back up and she landed in my arms, not a minuet to late. She looked up at me, and It almost felt like my heart started to pump again. I could feel these little burst of electricity pump through my hands, at the point where our skin met.
She smelt so good. Her neck was only a few inches away from me. I could jut lean down and taste her, only Esme was here, nobody else would know. I could suck her dry before she even let out a gasp. I wanted to so badly, I had animal instincts and they was kicking in. then I realized I couldn't hear her thoughts, this puzzled me. What was this girl.
"What are you thinking" I blurted out. She blushed at my words, This day was becoming one of the best days of my life. I had a strong urge to reach up and stroke her red cheeks. She was beautiful. My urge to taste her was still strong, but I knew I could refrain from tasting her. She was unique, she was special. And I wanted to get to know her. I wanted to take her to dinner, not eat her for dinner.
"Um. Im not really sure," she mumbled. "How did you reach me so quickly?"
I was stunned, I really couldn't hear her, I looked around for Esme, I needed guidance on what to say. Finally she came into view.
"What is she thinking?" she thought with a look a shock on her face.
I shook my head. She gasped "you cant hear her thoughts?" again I shook my head. "Tell her you're a fast runner." she gave me an answer to the question I had briefly forgot I was supposed to be answering.
"Im a fast runner." As soon as it left my mouth, I realized it sounded more like a question, then an answer. What was wrong with me. Why couldn't I put an answer together, why did I feel like a giddy school girl.
"Edward, you an put her down now." Esme spoke aloud, I guess it was for the humans benefit. "we need to go home and speak to Carlisle."
I started to lower her feet, she moved her arms to my shoulders, I guess she was thinking she was a dead weight to me, although she couldn't of been more wrong, she felt like a feather. A zap of electivity burst through us as she touched me. She stumbled back, shocked and confused.
"what was that?" she asked as I steadied her.
"I.. I don't know."
"im sorry, I have to go now." she pulled away from me, I instantly felt sad at the loss of contact. I just stood there, watching her rush away. She stumbled out the aisle. that's when it started to make sense. She was the girl the owners were thinking about. She was defiantly new. I had never seen her about before. She must of just come back, maybe she was visiting her family.
"I wonder what she was up on the shelf's for?" Esme thought, I didn't respond as I was sure it was a genuine thought, and not directed to me.
I too wondered the same thing. I was glad she was though, or I may of never had the chance to meet her. I wonder what she had herd. I hadn't realized it until she came into view again, but we had made our way to the check out. She was rushing her grocery's into the brown bags, like she was in a rush to get away. I felt this strong urge to go and help her, make her feel safe.
Just as I was about to take a step, my phone rang.
"Edward, I know this doesn't make any sense to you right now, but I need you to just understand, and not be pig headed and think you know best im trying to help you, you need this I cant let you miss out on this chance, she needs to know your kind or it will end badly." Alice shouted, so quickly. I could almost not understand her, and that's hard for a vampire.
"Wait Alice slow down, I cant understand you?" As I spoke my sisters name, I saw the girl tense up in front of me, none of this made any sense.
"Edward." my sister repeated slower. I looked up and saw the girl pay the checkout boy and walk to the exit. "The girl, the one you saved, her name is Bella. You cannot let her leave. Bad things will happen if she leaves and doesn't know your not some crazy boy. She needs to understand your not a bad person." I hung up as she finished. I ran as fast as I could at human pace ad grabbed her arm. I still didn't understand what was going on, how did Alice know her name. Why was this so important, all I knew is I didn't want anything bad to happen to this beautiful creature.
"please, wait" I mustered up the courage to say.
"why?" she questioned without looking at me.
"I don't know how to explain. I just know that something bad will happen if you leave to quickly."
"What are you talking about, Im fine." she began to mutter, as my phone began to ring again.
I gave her a sheepish look as she turned to me. "Im sorry I have to take this," still not letting go of her arm.
"Yes Alice." I asked.
"Hello brother of mine. She believes your not bad anymore.
"Are you sure?"
I looked at her again as Alice spoke. "yes, the future is better now. Just introduce yourself, tell her about me, tell her she will become my best friend." Alice said with pride.
"No Alice I will not say that." he chuckled slightly.
"Fine, but she will." Alice huffed.
"Ok, ill see you at home." I hung up the phone.
She was looking down, before I knew what I was doing I put two fingers under her perfect chin and raised her head up so I could look her in the eye.
"Im sorry about that," I apologized. "My name is Edward. I didn't get to properly introduce myself before. Are you new to forks?"
"Yes and no, I used to live here when I was younger, but after…." She stopped. I saw tears in her eyes as she got lost in thought, "I just returned today after living out of state for a few years."
"Oh, well welcome back. It was nice to meet you, and im glad your ok." I wanted to hug her, make her feel better but I knew she would find me weird if I did. She probably already thought I was crazy. Following her around.
"Thank you again, but I really do have to go now."
She started walking again, like a puppy dog I followed. I just could seem to walk away. I felt like I belonged here at her side. I wanted to show her I was kind. That I wasn't crazy. I wanted her to feel for me, like I seemed to be feeling for her. She had stopped a few steps ahead, next to a shiny red truck. I felt instantly worried. Was she driving this home alone, where was her home. What if she had an accident. What if I lost her. Wait, lost her, she isn't mine. What is wrong with me. First I want to taste her, now im her protector?
"Can I help you into the bed?" She jumped back.
"Excuse me?!" she gasped.
"Oh, No I meant can I help you load the groceries into the bed, I mean the bed of the truck?" Why couldn't I talk correctly. Now she really thinks im a stalker. I basically just asked to sleep with her. I wouldn't be shocked if she slapped me, or ran away shouting help.
She just giggled. If I wasn't a vampire, I knew It would have been my turn to blush.
Ok wasn't expecting that.
"So is that a yes?" I asked. She nodded.
We loaded the groceries in silence, I kept peaking glances at her. she kept biting her bottom lip, and tucking a few stray hairs behind her ear. She looked so adorable.
"Ok well thank you, Edward."
Wow, the way she said my name. it sounded amazing. I had never really liked my name up until this moment.
I smiled. "No problem Bella."
"How did you know my name?"
Oh no. What did I go and say her name for, Alice told me it, not her. She was looking at me, confused.
"Well the whole town has been talking about you Bella." I answered, making it up as I went along. "I just put the new person in town to the name. Am I correct. You are Bella."
"Yes, but most people around here call me Isabella. That's why I asked."
Great foot in mouth again, she was right, everyone around here was calling her Isabella.
"I just figured, you would prefer Bella." she blushed, and nodded.
"Ok, well thanks again." she muttered as she got in the cab and started to pull away. I knew at this point I was going to go find her tonight, I had to see her again.
But first I needed to talk to that little meddling pixie. She knew something more about Bella. I was going to make it my mission to find out.
Thank you all for reading. I really appriciate it. I hope it didn't suck as bad as I thought it would. Re-reading it I don't think it did. I found it hard to write as Edward.
Question. Do you think I should try and do Edwards P.O.V more during the story? Or just leave it as bellas? Let me no. and please review! More reviews the faster ill update! xx
