Hello

Ok, I'm sorry for the two week wait. I've been battling some pretty shitty writers' block which is just starting to clear up.

Double update tonight, so this is just a little bit shorter than usual. Hopefully, though, you won't mind because as soon as the next chapter is done, it'll be up.

These two chapters tonight are not beta'd because my beta is working hard on the mammoth oneshot that I wrote trying to get over the writers' block. It's long, so I thought I'd just leave her with the oneshot but as soon as that's back in my inbox, these will go to her and I'll just replace the chapters. Don't worry, you won't get any emails for them and you won't get stuck trying to review.

Oh, and important AN down the bottom.

Enjoy!

~O~

The stars, the moon,

They have all been blown out

~O~

My thoughts were not in this room, and nor was my mind. In fact, it was only the shell of me – my body – that was. Everything else was focused on my mate. My mind longed for her, my eyes and hands yearning to see and to touch her.

I sighed deeply to myself and closed my eyes. I had no desire to be here. Not when every dead cell in my body was burning with the need to hunt for her.

To search for her.

The ache in my heart had only just begun to decrease, when I worried idly about why that was. Surely, there was something wrong if I was no longer feeling my mate's disappearance?

There was no breeze in the room, for which I was glad. I felt weak, my senses and instincts all unconsciously searching for my mate's scent. My usual defences were down, meaning that I could very well snap and drink from someone if I wasn't careful.

Just then, the door opened. I didn't bother to look up when perhaps I should have.

Two things happened instantaneously.

I gasped, the last sliver of pain in my chest vanished just as my senses detected a new scent.

My head snapped up and around. I looked frantically across the room, my eyes first wandering past the instigator of these all-too-recognisable feelings only to snap back to them. My eyes widened, and a deep growl reverberated through me. I had to clamp my lips together to keep it from escaping.

There she was.

My mate.

She was standing there, her mouth open, staring right at me.

A thrill shot through me as I studied the look in her eye. Longing, disbelief, desire, happiness, passion and… oh, dear lord…

Love.

Before I could stop myself, I released a deep purr. It was one that I had heard about from my siblings and Carlisle and Esme. It was the sound that you released only for your special one, for your soul mate. The purr itself was meant only to be heard by your mate as it only affected them. To anyone else, it sounded merely like any other purr that a vampire could sound.

I could tell that she heard it. Her muscles tensed, her breath hitched and she looked straight into my eyes as she released one of her own. I smiled widely at the sound of our conjoined mating calls; one completed the other.

It was beautiful, just as she was.

My eyes were transfixed on her, my mind warring. On one hand, I was impatient for her to come to me – the seat next to mine was thankfully the only one available, as was the case in most of my classes – but on the other, I knew I had to get a grip. I could hardly do what I wanted to do. I could hardly make my way to her now, pulling her into my arms and run out of the classroom so I could claim her as mine.

Oh, but the desire to do so was almost too much. I needed it. My body longed for hers, for the true completion of our bonding. I longed to be able to mark her, give her my bite; the mating bite.

But I knew, logically, that I had to wait. And wait, I would. For her, I would do anything.

I was transported – against my will – back into the real world when the teacher broke our gaze. She gasped and looked away from me, down at the teacher who was sitting at the desk. He looked at her with a frown of disapproval and I couldn't even hear the words he said to her as my mind delved into the minds of others.

I tried to keep myself from growling at their thoughts. Of course they were all focused on my mate. She was gorgeous after all.

Damn, who's the new girl? She is fucking fine; those tits, her ass, those fuckin' legs… fuck me. Mike Newton was already delving into the unknown. The fantasies were vulgar, and though I knew it would never happen, it still made every single muscle in my body react negatively. My mind surged with rage as the growl I had tried to suppress built in my chest.

But before I could do anything, I felt her. I felt my mate walk towards me and my head snapped around. The look in her eyes was worried and yet also reassuring as she smiled softly at me. I relaxed instantly; she knew what was wrong, and she was trying to tell me that I had no need to worry.

She was mine, and mine alone; just as I was only hers.

Each step toward me, though they lasted mere seconds, dragged. The gentle hum between us only grew stronger until it was so much we could both barely breathe correctly as she sat down.

She looked up at me, smiled beautifully, and then looked to the front.

My eyes remained on her for the duration of the lesson.

So… what did you think of that, eh? *Smirks and giggles*

The next chapter will be of Bella's POV, but it won't be the same thing… it'll be- actually, no. I'll make you sweat it out ;)

In other news, I now have a facebook group for ALL of my fanfictions. It's called Bexie25 Fanfics and the link is on my profile… but I suppose I can put it in here for you as well.
