Yeah I know, very short, but I had to rush this one! Enjoy ;)
Edward POV
As I raced home, I thought about what had just happened. Bella Swan could not be human. She wasn't a vampire – her skin is still soft, and she has a heartbeat. Not a shape shifter or werewolf either. Witches are mythical – I think. I needed to talk to Carlisle, badly.
As I parked the car, my sister, Alice, tapped me on the shoulder. 'What is it?' I asked, annoyed 'Are you alright? You don't seem yourself.'
'Of course I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?' I snapped at her. I immediately felt bad as she shrunk back from me. 'Look I'm sorry Alice, I've just got a lot on my mind lately.'
'Like new girl Isabella Swan!' Emmett hooted, while Jasper made wolf whistles in the background. I didn't bother to acknowledge that response; I was already inside at shooting up the stairs to Carlisle's study. It was a good thing that he was off from work today. Not bothering to knock on the door, I strode straight in. Putting his book down, he glanced up at me. 'In a hurry today Edward?' He asked me. 'Yes I am, I need you to tell me all you can about what you know about other mythical creatures – apart from vampires, werewolves and shape shifters of course.'
'Well, apart from everything else, the only other thing that I'd say is most believable are these people who call themselves enchanters and enchantresses. They are said to be able to weave magic with only their fingers, glow in their sleep and strangely they have a cat by their side all the time. Some are called wizards and witches though, but they are said to be on the side of evil, though the enchanters are not.' His eyes narrowed suspiciously, 'Is there a reason for all this Edward?'
This drew me from my thoughts where I pondered if Bella could be an enchantress. She could be! I mean she did have a cat in her bag the other day – I think. Also that smoke coming out of her ears was surreal. I was about to tell him about her, when I felt my subconscious screaming at me not to. 'Um no Carlisle, I was just wondering.' I glanced out of the window – I hated lying to him. My eyes widened as I realised it was twilight. Had we really talked for that long? I needed to get to Bella's house! Wait, what? Needed? 'Don't worry, Edward' I told myself. 'It's only to see ifshe really does glow in her sleep' I mean that was the reason. Right? 'Sorry Carlisle, I need to go.' Not bothering to wait for his answer I dashed downstairs and followed her scent to a small cottage like house. It was quite secluded, and I could hear that It was only her in the house, where was her mum and dad? I mean, I knew she must be immortal, all mythical creatures are. Her parents must be too. But as I walked closer, I could only smell her scent around here.
Jumping onto a tree, I grabbed the window ledge and hauled myself up. My breath stopped. It was Bella's room – I could see through the tiny opening through her curtains. The window was open, so I slipped inside. And gasped at what I saw in front of me. Bella was sleeping peacefully, lighting the room with her shining white glow. But that wasn't the reason why I gasped. It was because she looked absolutely beautiful. I wondered how I couldn't have noticed the pale flawless skin, the soft mahogany hair and the ruby red lips. It must have been because I had been too caught up in her personality, and her strange, funny ways. Now there was no distracting me with that.
At my gasp, she stirred a little and said softly 'Edward' I froze and if my heart were beating, it would have stopped. Then she sighed and turned back over. The emotions that came inside me were relief – she didn't see me – see was a sleep talker! But another emotion over clouded that which I had no idea of and had never experienced before. What was it? I wondered as I made my way back home. And why had she said my name?
Only when I stepped inside the house did Jasper think 'Edward? Why are you feeling love?'
