Hello… this plot bunny just keeps leaping around in my head!! LoL… things may seem a bit disjointed at points but trust me, this all works out marvellously… Keep reviewing please… I really want at least five reviews before I post the next chapter but, I'm a sucker so you can probably take advantage of me on that one. Thanks LingeringLuminosity and winchesterxgirl. Your reviews a greatly appreciated.
Jacob POV
The doc came in and told me the misty crap would be wearing off soon (Not in so many words). Stupid imprinting. I didn't want to leave her side. If I did I felt like a magnet was trying to pull me back. But I thought I should.
Argh, crap. Quil, Seth, Leah and Embry all now knew about me imprinting. It was the first thing on my mind when I phased. This was embarrassing. She's a vampire but…
I sat on the edge of her bed. Rosalie was staring at her from the corner of the room. I tried to slip my hand into her but Rosalie caught sight of me. "Touch her and you'll be dismembered before you can say sorry."
Some other vampire chick was in here before distracting Rose as I watched her. Now that… Kath? Kate? Katerina? I don't know… now that the vampire Blondie 2 was gone, Rosalie noticed me inching towards her.
"Rosalie." I groaned. "Edward?"
"He whispered to Bella. I heard the whispers." Rosalie frowned. "If you think you have a chance I suggest you think again. None of us would let you date her."
"Yeah well my pack ain't to happy about it either." I mumbled under my breath but I knew she could hear. Rosalie crossed the room and sat beside Ezra. She twitched. "That good?"
"Means she regaining her senses." she explained. "This is frustrating."
"I've never seen you care about anyone but yourself and Emmett, Blondie. What's the change?" I raised my eyebrow wondering.
Rosalie shot me a glare and ignored the 'Blondie' mention. "I do care about others. You're just too blind to see it."
"I can see just as well as you can and you know it." I retorted. "Now care to explain?"
"No."
"Then I'll just assume you're madly in love with her." I waited.
"Assume what you want dog but you'd never understand." Rosalie took Ezra's hand into her own. "Esmeralda is special… in more ways than one. The crazy ways and the nice ways. She was Emmett and my best friend before she was turned. I met her before Emmett did. When she was younger. She came to Rochester, where I grew up, when she was four and a bit. I was five turning six. Innocent days. Neither of us have changed much in personality since then. It was her, I and another friend of mine, Vera. My parents didn't like me hanging around her, the strange little gypsy girl, but I didn't care and I always got what I wanted. Strangely enough, what I wanted was to hang out with her. She left only two years after she came. But in those two years we had the most fun I had ever had. When she left I did kick up quite a bit of dust but she gave me her bracelet and told me, she'd come back one day to get it." Rosalie played with a bracelet she was wearing. "She did. And she always has. She's a good friend."
Ezra twitched again, this time her hand lifting and placing it on Rosalie's leg. Rosalie smiled. "I'm here Ezra. Come back. I'll give you your bracelet this time."
A groaning noise was heard from Ezra's throat as if she was trying to speak. Her eyes opened and darted around as she saw again. "You never give me my bracelet back." she groaned.
Rosalie shrugged. "It looks better on me."
"Hey." I said smiling.
"Hey yourself there." she got up and groaned. "I hate them."
"Demetri sure doesn't hate you." Rosalie smirked.
Ezra shook her head. "Yes he does. He just doesn't know it."
Rosalie's smirk grew bigger. "Yeah right."
"You can go tell you hubby and the rest I'm fine now." Ezra smiled. Rosalie looked like she wasn't going to leave but Ezra nudged her. "Go."
Rosalie kissed Ezra's forehead before gliding out of the room. Ezra's hair fell around her as she stood up. I stared at her and maybe it was a little too long because she ended up looking at me funny. "What?" she laughed and I almost fainted. Jeez, how girly is that? "Do I have something on my face?"
"No! You look fine." I slapped a grin on my face. "You feeling better?"
"Much. I hate not having my senses." Ezra tilted her head to the side and looked at me. The room had grown quiet except for the sound of music making its way up the staircase. "Why do I feel different with you?"
I swallowed and shrugged. "I don't know." I then felt how awkward it was, just us two being alone. "Do you want to go back down? I'm sure they're looking for you?"
"Not really." she sighed. "I'm going to get asked questions about Demetri, especially by Emmet." Actually, I think Emmett's more interested in beating the living daylights out of me. One more reason to leave.
"What'd he say to you?" I asked.
Ezra didn't answer straight away. She pursed her lips and frowned. "If I tell you, do you swear not to tell anyone?"
I nodded and she grabbed my hand. "Out of hearing distance." Ezra dragged me to the window and opened it up.
She was about to leap when I caught her arm. "Are you going to be okay to jump?"
Ezra raised an eyebrow. "I'm a vampire."
Well there was that but… I looped my arms around her and lifted her bridal style and jumped from the window before she could object. I ran far into the dark forest under the pale moonlight and only stopped when I found a suitable place to sit. It was a massive boulder. I grinned, running up it and sitting on the top before placing her down next to me with ease.
"You always act so macho?" she smirked.
I shrugged. "It's no act. It just comes naturally."
"Nice." She looked around the forest. "Do you take all girls you know to fancy places like this?"
"Yeah." I leaned back on the rock. "This is the highlight of all my dates."
"It's cool." Esmeralda said shaking her head. She had the prettiest hair. It was long, silky and dark brown. In the moonlight her blue streak glittered slightly. It matched her dress exactly. Her lips were large and round and red! I'd never seen redder lips in my life. But she was a vampire. What kind of vampire had red lips?
She breathed in and out like a normal human and leaned on me. It was ice cold but nice. "Demetri and I used to be lovers…"
"What?" I scoffed. "He looks like he could be you dad!" Well, if he had had a kid at fifteen.
"He could be." she shrugged. "We met in Greece in the sixties. We were in love. But we couldn't be. I refused to join the Volturi to be with him and he refused to quit to be with me. But we were very much in love."
"Doesn't being in love mean tossing all rules aside and being with each other?" I said running my hand through her hair.
"We did." she whispered quietly. "However he didn't like the taste of animals and I refuse to eat humans. Demetri and I met up every day for a long time while I was living in Italy. Then, in 1974, I decided to leave Italy because it was becoming suspicious. I'd looked fifteen for almost ten years. I left but he followed. We'd meet up every month at least once when he'd leave Italy for 'excursions'. It was too good. We both got to stay on our sides of the vampire world but got to see each other on, sometimes, a weekly basis." She then sighed and her voice became sad. "Then he disappeared for two years. Two long years. I got letters but it was still hard. I loved him."
Esmeralda looked up to the sky and her eyes glittered, the silver full moon making her body glow. "He called me and we agreed to meet up for New Years in Greece. Greece has always been our first loves. I loved the architecture and the history, the music and the art. He loved the people, for the obvious reasons. When we did meet up…" her voice hesitated and her eyes dulled. "I found out it was a trap. He betrayed me. The Volturi didn't know I had powers until he sold me out. In Greece they kidnapped me and…" she trailed off. She had pulled away from me slightly, leaving my skin feeling too hot. It didn't feel right.
Esmeralda looked at me and chuckled. "But you wanted to know what he said… not the whole story, right?"
I shook my head. "I don't mind."
"You really are sweet." she reached out and stroked my face with her hand. "Exactly what he said?" she stroked my face again. "Then ithela na kamo kati pu then eprepe. I didn't mean to do anything wrong. Then ime sinithizmenos safto. Ine parakseno. I'm not used to this. It's strange. Lipame para poli. I am extremely sorry." she kept her hand on my face, tracing my jaw line or simply putting a cooling pressure on the swelling and redness which was still there. "Then he said… Ise mi agapi mu. You are my love. Ise mi kukla mu. You are my doll. Sagha po." Ezra tilted her head to the side.
"I love you." we said together.
"You know Greek." she smirked.
"No… I just read a blog once about how to say I love you in all these different languages." I chuckled, reaching my hand and pushing some hair off my face. "What'd you say back to him?"
Ezra turned back around so she was leaning on me again. "I said, you were my soul. You were my love."
"And then… if you hadn't been 'mystified'…" She laughed as I said it… "What were going to do?"
Esmeralda shrugged. "I don't know… I wasn't going to kiss him or anything. I just wanted to end it properly. I'm over him. After he hurt me… I just couldn't stand to love him anymore."
I bit my lip and smiled cunningly. "Do you want to kiss someone?"
"Who?" she scoffed.
I turned her head around and placed it centimetres from mine. Well this could be a make or break move but… eh. "Me." I had a large grin on my face.
Ezra moved her head to stare into my dark eyes as I stared into her honey amber ones. Her eyes flickered for the briefest moment to my lips. "Why do I feel different with you?" she repeated her question from before.
"Because…" I whispered. "You know that I'll never leave your side."
"Why?" she asked.
"Because, tonight, I became the one you're going to spend the rest of your life with." I bent down and kissed her softly. I could feel her lips moving against mine as she did nothing to stop me. Her hands moved up my chest and I pulled her back down with me so I was lying on the rock and she was lying on top of me. She broke the kiss off, her locks dropping down to lay on either side of my head.
"Is this right?" she whispered. "We're two different species."
"We're just humans." I whispered back.
Ezra laughed at this. "I haven't been human for years and you're most definitely not human anymore."
"Okay then… how about, we both started out as humans?" I replied, lifting my hand to touch her cheek. I couldn't believe how quickly my whole view of the world had changed just because of one look.
"It sounds like evolution."
"More like, revolution."
Ezra smiled. "Ooo. Mutiny. Now that I can deal with." she leaned back down, kissing me again, running her hands over my chest. I just held her onto her, moving my hands up and down her back. After what seemed like eternity she broke it off again, this time to let me breathe as I was slowly suffocating, even though I didn't mind.
"I think we should stop."
"No…" I groaned. "I don't mind if I die if it means being suffocated by your lips."
Ezra laughed again. "No… we continue that later. It's just because, Emmett and Jasper just left the house. They're looking for me."
I sighed sitting up. She sat on my lap however she was still facing me. Her legs were wrapped around my torso. Her sparkly blue dress glittered and the large skirt part covered both her and my legs. "Can you run me back home?"
I smiled. "Yeah." I couldn't refuse her, even if I wanted to. I readjusted her so she was back in my arms and I ran her back her.
She buried her face into my chest. "You know what Jacob. You don't smell that bad… kind of like… like the woods after a fire. It stings your nose but you like it because it stings your nose."
I chuckled. "Yeah, you're not that bad for a leech either." I inhaled the smell. It was hard to stand but for some reason I did. "You're like… I inhaled a jar of maple syrup and sugar." We both laughed. "And then I possibly ate it…"
"Well you did… kind of." she buried her face deeper into my chest. I had a feeling that if she could blush… Ezra would be doing so right now.
By the way, the dresses they wear are on my main page… Review!!
