Chapter 6: 6 months on (EPOV)
EPOV
6 months had passed, 6 months in which I still hadn't managed to get Isabella to tell me about what was happening to her at home. I knew, of course I did; I mean how could I not when I was able to read her mind? But I couldn't let on to her that I knew for that would mean telling her my secret, although a few times it had seemed like she had figured it out for herself.
It seemed like I would have to take this slower than I had originally thought... I didn't want to, I hated to see her in pain, and the beatings were getting worse, she thought no one noticed; she was almost right- no one else noticed, I did. The foundation she wore might fool human eyes but it did not fool Alice and I; we could see the markings on her face as clear as day. The only thing that stopped me from taking her away from Charlie was the fact that Alice had had a vision seeing that if I tried to get her to come with me now, she would reject- she didn't trust me enough yet Alice had said. I was trying to build that trust with her but it was proving difficult. I had managed to get her to talk to me though, which was progress.
*Flashback*
I watched as she entered the room, she was so beautiful, even broken as she was. She caught my eye as she walked in and I smiled briefly at her, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay. She may not know it but I would protect her, I vowed I was going to do everything in my power to get Bella away from Charlie Swan. I started to talk quietly to her as I always did, and almost immediately she started to relax, I smiled again, I was glad I could help her, if only minutely for now. I also noticed how agitated she got when I called her Isabella, I noticed it from the first time I introduced myself and figured I could use it to my advantage for every time I called her Isabella her mind screamed at me: 'Its BELLA!' and I knew she so badly wanted to tell me herself, but she was afraid, no, she was downright terrified that Charlie would somehow find out and her life would get harder than it already was. But it seemed she couldn't take it anymore, for this time when I called her by her full name she muttered: 'Bella.' I asked her to repeat herself; not because I couldn't hear her, my hearing was better than hers, but because I wanted to hear her voice again, it was so melodic, so beautiful, just like the rest of her. She explained to me that she preferred Bella, and I acknowledged this and continued to talk to her. I knew she would not want me to draw attention to the fact that she had spoken aloud, and my thoughts were confirmed in her mind; she was grateful I hadn't.
*End flashback*
I caught her eye as she once again entered the classroom and smiled at her. I started to talk quietly to her, as was our routine but there was one thing that was nagging at me, I didn't want to talk about such mundane issues anymore, I had had to before because I didn't want to scare her away but now... I could ask about her couldn't I? I mean we were friends weren't we?
So what did you guy think? Sorry the last couple have been short but I needed to move the story on so I can get it to where I want it without it being too tedious. The next ones should be longer hopefully though! Don't forget to review! Thanks!
