CHAPTER-9
BPOV
Edward was silent in the car. I still don't know what possessed me to ask him to accompany me. I did this every time I visited earth- it pained me to see the brutal way humans treated each other, sometimes even their own blood. Each time I witnessed the wrongdoing of one human to another, it felt like another failure.
Because it was my job to spread love. My responsibility. And each time any creature harmed another, it was my fault. The least I could do was provide essentials to those who couldn't afford it. Of course, it could be done by magic, but I preferred doing it on my own.
Jacob disagreed with me. He said that it was not possible for anyone to take blame for all of earth. That was why he refused to come with me, saying that I needed to understand the extent of my powers. No one was invincible.
"Are we there yet?" Edward's question brought me out of my musings. I looked in his direction. He was truly an enigma to me- his entire family was, but him more so than others. They were all powerful creatures who could rule over humans if they wished to do so. Hell, they could take down the stupid Volturi brothers if they wanted. With Emmet's strength, Alice and Edward's talents, Jasper's skills, Carlisle's intelligence, Rosalie's...tenacity and Esme holding them all together, they could have the world at their feet.
Yet, they chose to exist peacefully and went against their true nature by consuming animal blood. Mind boggling...
"Shouldn't you be more patient, huh? After all, you've been to high school more than twenty times!" I teased him lightly, but I really meant it. With no prior experience with high school or college, today had been an eye-opener.
An eye opener to the fact that teen aged humans were doomed.
"Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up, angel. You have no idea what suffering through high school is once. Their thoughts..."
I could see that the topic was going to shift from their thoughts to my thoughts, so I quickly parked the car at the beginning of the trail and jumped out, beckoning Edward to do the same. We walked some distance quietly. I was nervous about this part. Being involved with angels was new to him, so I wondered how he would react to seeing some of my powers.
"Where exactly are we going, Bella? I know each and every inch of this forest. It's the same throughout." Edward was getting impatient now.
"Are we far enough from the humans? Nobody will find us here?" I was pretty sure, but what's the harm in confirming?
"Yes..."
"Alright then. Sit down in front of me. Good. Now close your eyes."
I closed mine. And let my mind wander. I could see my home...the institute...the waterfall of heaven...my meadow.
Opening my eyes, I could see that we were already there. Damn, I'm good. Well, I ought to be. I topped in my batch at the angel institute after all...
"You can open your eyes now." As Edward slowly did, he gasped. Is it wrong to feel smug because I just surprised a mind-reading, handsome, generous vampire?
Nah. I'm that good.
I couldn't keep the smirk off my face as Edward examined his surroundings in disbelief. He sprinted around the meadow, touching the flowers and trees. He tried to exit the meadow, but was gently propelled by an invisible force. As he turned around to stare wide-eyed at me, he exclaimed-
"What in lord's name is this place?"
Let the fun begin...
Recc. for the week- If you're in the mood for some heavy angst, head to 'An Angry Man' by katinki. You won't be diappointed. Full of angst and what's more, its complete!
If humour is your poison of choice, 'Bella Swan: Kidnapper' by Kambria Rain. ROFL!
Have fun!
