Chapter 7
I couldn't understand what was happening today. I had just cancelled my plans, once again, to leave when Rosalie suddenly came out with wanting to spoil the other's hunting trip. For fun purposes only, of course.
At first I disagreed, but after Rosalie promised she would personally hunt many of my favourite foods and then allow me to dine alone, I agreed. It was her only way of bribing me, since she owed me more than I her. After, we placed a bet on who could annoy Emmett the most once we found them. I'd seen Rosalie had some tricks up her sleeve, but only after the bargain had been set. At that, I knew I'd lost and gave her a thousand then and there, much to her surprise.
Then, we finally began to race after their trail. We caught the mixed scents of deer and vampire and headed around so we could hopefully cut them off. I could hear Emmett with my ears and in my head, they were chasing two deer at a more human pace for fun. I was surprised Carlisle had agreed to this. That is, until I heard Carlisle planning how he would stop Emmett. The deer had a fawn with them and Carlisle's natural kindness didn't imply to people alone. That and Esme would have his head if she found out Carlisle allowed Emmett to harm a fawn, or any young animal, simply for sport. If we were desperately thirsty, then she may overlook it. But we weren't starved vampires, compared to some we could be thought of as the reason more and more animals were becoming endangered!
And then there was her. I had presumed her to be a human at first - what else could she have been? For reasons I can't explain, I didn't see her wings until after I knocked her out. And now I know she's an Angel. And my mate.
Damn, my mate's an Angel. How many guys can say that and know it to be the truth?
Then I had to take her to my meadow, I had to. I wanted to share this place with her. I don't know why.
When she awoke, hair a mess, and the cutest sleepy look on her face, I couldn't help watching her in awe. A small bruise had formed when her head made contact with my chest hours prior, but after softly rubbing with her fingertips for a few short moments, there was no longer a mark on her perfect skin. I couldn't resist then, I had to touch her.
One touch of her hair, I'd told myself, one touch and then I'd not touch her again without permission. But, after feeling the soft silk under my hands, I had to smooth the frizz and remove the dirt. I simply had to. She couldn't go being dirty.
Then she turned to me, and I was met with the most beautiful and dazzling blue eyes. They were some bright, they seemed the bright like a thousand stars. I knew then that no starlight, sunlight or moonlight could hold my fascination or attention, even if this was the only time I saw these astounding eyes. They held their own light, their own soul, their own life! Her eyes were alive, the most alive thing in my whole six hundred years I had witnessed. Never had I seen something so simple, yet so mind blowing and breathtaking. I would pray to every kind of religion for every second of every day, so long as I could gaze into those eyes once again for just as long.
And then, they were gone.
