Chapter 6 - Bring On the Guilt

Edward's POV

After that woman, Isabella left the room, I felt like the weight of the world was crashing down on my shoulders. We had just accused a saint of being a monster.

I knew from the thoughts around me that the guilt was weighing just as heavy down on everyone else and I could feel it through Jasper's mind. That guy, Antonio suddenly got up and started walking to the door, before he opened it and motioned for us to leave. Not that anyone blamed him, he had every right.

"I think you should leave now. Maybe tomorrow would be a better time to talk again. Bella is going to be busy with the kids for a while now, oh and it is going to be sunny tomorrow, so I wouldn't plan on going to school."

I nodded guiltily along with everyone in my family, then slipped my arms around Lily's waist and guided her out the door. We walked silently back to our house, everyone going over and over everything that had just happened in their heads…

'I can't believe I called her a monster, she is going to hate me forever or kill me'

'How could newborns have that much control? Antonio is only three years old…'

'Oh those poor children to lose their parents so young and their vampire parents; to live with that guilt'

'Why did I feel like I've met Isabella before; I must miss Bella too much'

'God the guilt, I can't believe we did that. They have done nothing wrong, how could we do that…'

'Why can't I see any of their futures? What's happening?'

Suddenly soft footsteps and a racing heart hit us and we stopped still, waiting for the human trailing us to catch up. Within minutes, Mira stood before us, her body shaking in anger… Acknowledgement… Worry?

"You're Edward aren't you?"

Her blunt statement hit me like a ton of bricks. What was she on, chasing after us like that and how did she know me? And why couldn't I hear any of them? She stood up tall, then smiled sheepishly, pink staining her vampire pale cheeks.

"Sorry for following you guys, but Mum didn't tell you her story or mine either and you probably deserve to know, and I know my mum, she'll never tell you. It'd be too hard for her to dredge up to many memories. So do you want to talk here or can one of you give me a ride because I have a feeling it might take me all night to get to your house, right? So anyone want to volunteer?"

We all looked at her in shock, not only was she not in the least bit scared of us, but she actually was comfortable and bossing us around like we couldn't kill her with the flick of wrist. Just like my Bella used to be, it was going to be hard to live here if this girl was going to be a Bella reincarnate.

Then Lucas's thoughts hit me, and I nearly fell over, I didn't know he even liked girls… 'I love this woman, she would make this life a heck lot more enjoyable, I wonder if she likes me… shit, Edward stop listening to my thoughts; get lost'

Then, Mira did something none of us expected, especially me since I couldn't read her thoughts, "Okay, since you guys obviously haven't met a human so comfortable with vampires, even though I probably should remind you that my mom has been one most of my life, but if you guys are really that tongue-tied, I just pick myself. Eenie, menie, mo… Guess it's the handsome man in the back, come on Lucas is it? The night isn't getting any younger…"

'What? She wants me to carry her? Doesn't she know what she does to me? For god's sake Edward stop reading my thoughts, I can feel your smirk from here…'

"Edward, maybe you should see a doctor, people at school are going to think something is wrong if you keep zoning out like that; oh and Lucas I just wanted a ride not a date, so stop staring me like you're going to pass out, and my face is up here, just FYI…"

Snickers exploded around me, and before I knew it Emmett had rushed out and crushed Mira in his arms, I half expected her to scream in anger; but she didn't, but then this girl surprised us all; just like Bella used to. Stop it Edward, it's been almost eighteen years and you have to live for your family and Lily's sake; they need you.

I shook my head and ran after my family, Lily's hand laced in mine, as I watched Mira giggle and chatter happily with Emmett as she bounced up and down on his shoulders; then suddenly reached down and ruffled Lucas's hair, which would've made him blush, based on his thoughts, if he could.

'Did she just touch me? God, I think I love her; damn it Edward, I would not be blushing and you know it, so stop smirking at me…'

I laughed softly and when Lily gazed up at me curiously with her molten gold eyes, I whispered what Lucas had been thinking in her ear and soon she was laughing along with me; the happiness that her brother finally liked someone rolling off her in waves.

It was good, that they were happy, both of them.
