Ryan's POV
Chapter Six
-:-
I thought that school would be normal today, well as normal as it could be. I thought that it would be the same boring people with the same boring lives with having to sit through the same boring lessons. I thought wrong. Ever since I walked into that classroom door with Edward, everything seemed to be normal; all the same people were here. So Edward and I soon got on with our work. Which was Edward composing music for a three and for the both of us, seeing as I didn't want to take music, but as we agreed to go into all the same classes together, I got to choose one elective to do, and so did he, aka he picked music appreciation. I went over to grab a guitar, as Edward instructed when my gaze locked eyes with her.
She was beautiful, her full, luscious lips, her curling brown locks, but once I saw her bewildered eccentric eyes I knew something was wrong with her. That's when my eyesight trailed down the rest of her body and I saw what was wrong. Her bones were jutting out of her pale skin, and I could see that even though she had covered every inch of her body up. I smelled the stale blood that came from her, I saw the bones, and the way her skin was tight, I saw her small, petite frame, curving inwards, she looked like she was a twig, ready to snap in half without vampire abilities. It looked like a human could even break her by accident. She looked so fragile, and one more look at her mysterious orbs was enough for me to know, she was beautiful but broken and that I wanted to fix her. I wanted to see her smile, but all I could see was a frown, I craved to hear her laugh, but no sound rose from her lips, I wanted to see those orbs that were clouded over with fear and loneliness, to be cleared and sunshine pouring through them. I could only hope.
The girl spun her head slowly, almost deliberately slow, to the caller of her name. If only I heard her name, instead of being too preoccupied with her astounding beauty. I had to know her, I had to fix her, but most importantly, I had to make her feel happy.
Why, why, why was I feeling these feelings? I had only just laid eyes on her and now I felt like I was infatuated with her. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, I could not fall for someone without even knowing them and most of all a vampire can not love a human!
"A vampire can love a human." Edward's voice came into my ear and I jumped up in shock.
I immediately started to get angry, which was pretty odd of me as I never had gotten angry before in my vampire life. "How would you know?!" I replied through clenched teeth.
"Oh…let's just say, the lion fell in love with the lamb in our story."
"Our story?" I asked curiously.
"Mine and Bella's."
Noting the confused look upon my face he began to explain the short story, in vampire speaking, of his and Bella's story. Once he had finished all I could say was, "Sounds like one of those romantic novels, too true to be real."
He didn't get to reply as the teacher bellowed our names. Edward looked at me, and then walked towards the teacher, I quickly followed in his footsteps. Once we reached the teacher, I saw the same girl from earlier sitting down awkwardly, her hands gripped around the chair so tight that I thought it may break. How could someone so small and fragile nearly break a plastic chair? Her skin had gone pale, and her eyes were shedding tears. After a while, she snapped out of her thoughts and wiped her eyes, relaxing her deathly grip, her posture was still straight.
Her face turned our way, and I saw her eyes in full. They were a kaleidoscope of green, blue and brown interwoven within each other to create a stunning eye colour. They were beautiful…just as much as her. Edward soon introduced us, and she did something girls wouldn't normally do, instead of getting nervous or shifty or fidgeting, she stood stiff, as if she wanted to run away. She began to open her mouth to speak, and all that came out was a rusty, hoarse sound that seemed so faint I wondered without my super hearing that I would hear it.
"This is Saffron. Ever since that fatal accident, she has been mute. It will be a little hard for her to adjust, so be easy with her." The teacher's voice said, but when the two words, fatal accident and mute, my mind was going into overdrive. What made her this way? What made her be silent? Was she being beaten? I was sure she was the girl we saw earlier, and that girl that Alice saw in her vision. What fatal accident could surely make her possibly musical voice fall to deathly silence? I wanted to help her, I wanted her to be happy, but most of all, I wanted Saffron to speak.
Saffron…her name caressed my ears; it was such a rare and exotic name, a pretty name, to go with a pretty person. Once again, my thoughts were cut off, but this time with an ever smaller hoarser sound coming from Saffron's lips. How I longed to-
A cough was heard from beside me. Edward. I thought and immediately shut those thoughts off. How would I know she even liked me anyway? How do I know she even knew me? How do I know she even wanted to be with me or felt the same way? How could I ever know? Edward couldn't hear her thoughts, it was like it was 'automatically blocked from me', but he could still sense it was there, unlike Bella's.
I only knew one thing and one thing only that day: was that I would do anything for her, no matter how high the price I would pay.
