I didn't sleep well that night, not just because I was in a hospital, but also because my mind was filled with thoughts about Edward. What was he going to show me tomorrow? I wandered whether he had superpowers or was a super hero, but they didn't exist. I drifted between an un-settled sleep to a deep sleep. Then all of a sudden I would wake up. My heart would get faster and faster during a bad dream and a night nurse would come in and check on me. After about 3 in the morning I was so stressed that I started muttering to myself. My first day at Forks High school went really well. NOT! I had made a complete fool of myself. Falling over everything and nearly getting killed by a van. Everyone must know my name now. I would be labelled an accident magnet. I felt so embarrassed that I just wanted to cry. I sniffed loudly and wiped my eyes. All of a sudden I saw movement . My curtains swayed a bit like there was a breeze. But my window wasn't open and neither was my door. I shot up and turned to face the window. That's when I saw them. A pair of big golden eyes set on a white face. I followed them down from his face to a light shirt over a extremely muscular chest. He, or it, I didn't know, was staring right at me. I focused harder on the face and eyes and immediately thought' I recognise that face!' I turned to turn the light on and looked back. He was gone! Where did he go so fast? And that's when I put 2 and 2 together. Edward was fast enough to stop the van. The person, who had just been in my room, was fast enough to escape without me noticing. Edward had just been in my room! Was he spying on me? Why?! I must've have sat there for about an hour before I finally slipped into a dreamless sleep.
EPOV
She had seen me! I had been sitting in her room watching her sleep, or should I say not sleep. She murmured to herself then would wake up and a nurse would come in because of her heart monitor. As I watched her I focused more on her features. She had s soft heart shaped face that looked smooth and soft. She had a small slender figure that she covered with baggy clothes. She was beautiful. I was starting to fall in love with her! Did she feel the same? She didn't even know me so why would she feel the same about me? She shot up of a sudden and so did I. That's when the curtains swayed from my sudden movement and she spotted me. She looked confused and scared. She started to focus harder on my face and then moved down to my chest. I watched as her eyes widened while looking at my chest. She turned to her lamp and took that as an advantage to move away. She turned back and looked sad that I had gone. At that point I so wanted to walk out from the corner and show my self to her and comfort her. But I couldn't. I promised JA I would show her when she was out of hospital and was thinking right. I waited until she was asleep and climbed out of the window. I was coming here tomorrow at around 10 to pick her up and take her home.
BPOV
I shot up gasping for air. I saw someone sat next to me move. I turned to look. Edward. He smiled gently at me.
'Good morning. I've been watching you sleep for the past hour. Its about time you got up.' He laughed
'You've been watching me all night' I muttered under my breath. I saw his face go blank. A nurse entered the room.
'Good morning, did you finally get to sleep. You were awake most of the night. I bet your tired now.' She questioned opening the curtains to reveal a cloudy over-cast day.
'Y-E-E-S-S' I yawned while stretching. Edward and then nurse both laughed at me.
'Right, what would you like for breakfast?. There's toast, sausage, bacon, egg or cereal.
'Urmm, just toast please' I replied warily not actually wanting anything.
'Oh, ok sweetie, I'll bring it in 10 mins, the doctor has to check you first.' And then she walked out. Edward just sat there watching me. Carlisle walked in soon after.
'Good morning Bella. How are you?'
'I'm good thanks'
'Right, your test results have come back and your all clear to go. You just have a bit of concussion and head injuries but your all good to go home.' He laughed at my face as it lit up. Carlisle walked out as the nurse came back carrying a tray of food. She left it with me and smiled at Edward while walking back out, never moving her eyes away from him. Edward suddenly laughed after she had gone.
'What?'
'Oh, it's just what that nurse was thinking' he replied smirking.
'Oh, and how would you know what she was thinking?' my face burrowing. His face turned serious.
'I can read minds'
EPOV
SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!! I didn't mean to tell her there and then. She was munching on apiece of toast when I told her. It fell out of her mouth from shock when I told her. She turned white and went very still. She looked like she was about to faint. I slowly got up concerned.
'Bella?! BELLA?! Talk to me, please!'
'Your kidding me?! you've got to be joking?! She stuttered gob smacked. I shook my head slowly.
'How?!'
'I don't know, I can read everyone's mind in this hospital …. except for yours. All of the female nurse are thinking about my father, Carlisle at the moment. And then you nothing. Its very frustraing' I explained quickly.
'Why not mine? Is there some thing wrong with me?'
I laughed. 'You think there is some thing wrong with yourself, yet I can read minds?!' She looked down going red again. There was an awkward silence before i spoke.
'Come, on eat up, don't forget our arrangements today, im showing you something.' I smirked. She smiled weakly and stuffed the toast in her mouth. I let her get changed into yesterdays clothes in private by waiting outside. She soon walked out after.
'Let me carry them.' I offered grabbing hold of her bag. As our skin made contact I felt and electric shock run through. I knew she had felt it too because she pulled her hand away quickly she looked down embarrassed. She walked up to the desk and told the nurse her name. Soon after she walked back to me and we walked out of the hospital. As I walked across the car park I watched as her jaw dropped.
'Is … that … your … car?!' She asked pointing towards the black Mercedes parked next to mine. It was a brand new E-class Mercedes 09. It was my fathers.
'No' I laughed. 'That's my fathers, do you like it?'
'Woo!! That's all I can say. It looks expensive!'
'Oh, it didn't cost that much. No, that's mine, the car next to it' I explained pointing towards the silver Volvo C30 09 Sport.
'Wooo!! Again' and she laughed. I opened the door and held it open for her. She climbed in and mumbled a thank you. I opened the boot and placed her bags in then walked around to my side. We barely spoke on the drive back to her house. She obviously knew that she didn't need to give me directions to her house since I lived in the same town.
When we arrived I walked around at human pace to open her door for her. I hated walking at human pace. It was soo slow and it made time drag on. I grabbed her bags from the boot as she walked over to her front door to let herself in. As we walked in she smiled and paused.
'Urmm, go and sit in the living room if you want. Im just going to take a quick shower and wash my hair. I wont be too long.' And with that she walked off up the stairs. A few minutes later I heard the shower start.
BPOV
I stood in the shower pondering. What was he going to show me? How could he read minds. I was very confused. I was also falling in love with him. I just couldn't take my eyes of him on the journey home. He was beautiful and he had saved me god knows how many times yesterday and I only met him yesterday. He was like my hero. And I was falling in love with my hero. I put my head under the water and gasped. I had completely forgot about the stitches in the back of my head. I out my hand there and brought it back. There was fresh blood and dry blood on my hand. I looked down and saw red water forming around me. My hair was sticky as well. I grabbed my strawberry shampoo and washed my hair, wincing every know and again at the pain. I then use my conditioner and my shower gel before getting out. I felt refreshed and energetic. I quickly dried my hair and let in free fall down my back with a few little curls forming. All of my hair was naturally. My mother had never believed in dying your hair or using chemicals. I brushed my teeth and applied a bit of lippy for my dry lips. I got changed in the bathroom into some fresh new jeans and a baggy red top with bat wings. My favourite top. I walked out of the bathroom and was about to go into my bedroom when I heard the phone start ringing down stairs. I rushed down just as Edward walked out of the living room. He looked me up and down and smiled. I grabbed the phone off the wall.
'Hello?'
'Hey Bella' Jake replied.
'Oh, hey Jake'
'You ok? Charlie rang yesterday night and told Billy about your accident. He was really worried.'
'Oh, yh im good. They stitched me up and did some tests on my balance.'
'Good. So they kept you in over night?'
'Yh, unfortunately' I laughed. 'Its because I had concussion after the accident.'
'Bummer. I guess your off today'
'Yeah, luckily. Everyone at school must know my name now. I'm the schools new clown.'
'No your not. It could have happened to anyone, but it chose you.' He laughed. It was so easy to talk to Jake. He was so light hearted and cheery.
'So are you doing anything today?' He asked hinting.
'Errmm …' I glanced over at Edward who was stood at the door watching me. 'Yeah, im going to sleep and rest all day coz im really tired.'
'Oh, ok.' he replied sounding glum.
'Soz Jake, please don't ring again coz I wont answer.'
'Yeah, yeah sure, bye.'
'Bye Jake, thanks for ringing. Oh see ya on Saturday if your still up for it?'
'Yh' he cheered up 'I'll ring you Friday night, bye.' and he put the phone down.
'Who was that?'
My mate Jake, Jacob Black, from when I was younger. We used to play together as children.'
'Oh, cool, shall we get going?'
'Yh sure' Edward walked over to the door and opened it and picked up my raincoat of the back of my chair.
'Just in case' he winked. 'You'll need some sensible walking shoes.'
'Oh' I replied unsure. I opened the closet door and rooted around in the bottom for some shoes. About 5 minutes later I pulled out a pair of old tatty looking shoes. 'This is all I've got. Will they do?' He nodded as I slipped them on and tied the laces. He walked out and started to unlock his car door. I locked the door and walked towards his car. He held the car door open for me once again.
'Thanks' I mumbled smiling at him.
'So, where are we going?' I asked once he had started the engine.
'You'll find out' He replied smirking my favourite crooked smile. He sped off down the high way. He glanced over at me, but his eyes lingered on mine, and not on the road as he started to speed up.
'Fucking hell Edward! Watch the road!' I screamed at him.
'Calm down, were ok.'
'What?! Your driving like a fucking maniac!' He laughed at my alarm, but he didn't slow down. About half an hour later he spoke again
'Were nearly there now' he explained. I opened my tightly shut eyes, form fear, and noticed that we were in the mountains.
'Woo!! Where are we? Its beautiful up here.' He pulled to a stop on a cliff.
'We are in Canada. At the Banff National Park.'
'Woo!! How long have we been driving?'
'For about 2 hours. It's not that far away'
'Edward, were in fucking Canada, of course its fucking far away. But with the speed you drive we got here in half the time.' Edward laughed. 'Did I go that fast?' He asked smirking. I smiled weakly and turned to the window again. Ice and snow lay on top of the surrounding mountains, while in the valley lay beautiful meadows and large forests. It was stunningly beautiful. It looked like heaven on earth.
'Well, shall we get going' He asked getting out of the car and shutting his door. He walked around to my side and opened the door. He helped me out and locked the door. He walked to his boot and got out my raincoat. I walked up to the edge and stared down.
'Woo!!' I breathed out. Edward came up behind me. 'Do you like it?'
'Yeah, it's gorgeous. Where are we going?'
'Through the forest and into the meadow.'
'That's gonna take us all day.'
'No it wont. Not if we set off now, come on.' He said taking my hand. Once again an electrical current ran through my hand. We walked in silence for a bit.
'What are you Edward?'
'Well what are your theories?'
'Urm, I have two, but im not going to tell you because your gonna laugh.
'I promise I wont laugh, but tell me one please.' He smiled at me.
'Urm … ' I looked down and shuffled my feet. Edward put his hand under my chin and pulled my face back up. 'Please'
'Bitten by a radioactive spider'
'No, and kryptonite doesn't bother me either' He laughed, I rolled my eyes. 'See I knew you would laugh.'
His face suddenly turned serious. 'But what if im not the super hero, what if im the bad guy?'
'But your not, I can see what your trying to put off, but I can see that is just to keep people away from you, it's a mask.' Edward went quiet. Then all of a sudden there was a gush of wind from next to me. I turned to face Edward and he wasn't there. He had gone. I started to panic. Then there was a sound to my right. I spun round to see Edward crouched down on a boulder.
'Everything about me invites you in. My face, my hair even my scent. As if I didn't need any of them. What do you think I am? Im impossible fast and strong. My skin Is pale white and ice cold. I don't eat or drink' He explained as he ran next to me in a blink of an eye. 'Most important of all is that I can smell your blood' I gulped as he leaned in closer to me.
'What do you mean you can smell my blood?'
'Your blood smells fruity and its mouth watering and I cant resist it.'
'So what are you trying to tell me. That you're a … a …'
'Say it, say it out loud, say it!' He was right behind me now. 'Say it!'
I gulped 'VAMPIRE'
'How old are you?'
'17'
'How long have you been 17?'
'A while'
'Afraid?'
'No'
'Then ask me the most basic question … what do we eat?'
'You wouldn't hurt me' I replied gulping hard. He grabbed hold of my hand and started dragging me behind him. 'Where are we going?'
'Up the mountain, out of the cloud bank. You need to see what I look like in the sunlight.'
He picked me up and flung me onto his back. 'Wrap your legs around my waist and hold on.' I did as I was told as he started running. Fast. Very fast. Trees started to come towards us. I gasped as they came really close and he would swerve all of a sudden. We reached the mountain tops and entered a small patch of forest with lots of sun in it. He dropped me on the floor and walked off into the shadows. I crawled into the sun and sat on the damp grass gasping for air. The world was spinning and I felt sick. I got up slowly as he walked around the small patch.
'This is why we don't show ourselves in the sunlight. People would know that we were different. This is what I am' He explained as he unbuttoned his shirt. He slowly stepped out into the sunlight. As the sun hit his exposed sun it shimmered like a million diamonds. It was beautiful.
'Its like diamonds! Your beautiful' I said before I could stop myself.
'beautiful. This is the skin of a killer Bella. Im a killer'
'I don't believe that'
'Its because you believe a lie. A camouflage. Im the worlds most dangerous predator.' He jumped down a small banking and ran off. I followed and stood there bewilded.
'As if you could out run me'
'As if you could fight me off' he yelled as he broke a root off a tree. He flung it against another tree and the trunk split in 2.
'Im designed to kill'
'I don't care' I replied shaking my head. He came really close to me, his sweet breathe brushing over my face.
'Ive killed people before'
'It doesn't matter'
I wanted to kill you. Ive never wanted a humans blood so much in my life.
'I trust you'
'Don't'
'Im here, I trust you'
He walked over to another tree and jumped up it landing on a branch. I walked over to him and leaned up to him. He leaned down and looked me in the eyes.
'My family were different form others of our kind. We only hunt animals, we learn to control our thirst. But its you, your scent, its like a drug to me. Your like my own personal brand of heroin.' He explained laughing quietly to him self. I smiled and then asked something that had been bugging me since our first meeting.
'Why did you hate me so much when we first met?'
'I did only because I wanted you so badly. I still don't know if I can control myself'
'I know you can' I leaned in closer to him and he jumped down in between two boulders. I jumped down as well and leaned against one of them. He walked over to me and put both arms above my head and stood in front of me. His face was so close I could see every feature. He looked down at my lips.
'I cant read your mind, you'll have to tell me what your thinking.'
'No im afraid'
'Good'
'Im not afraid of you … im afraid of losing you. Like your gonna disappear.' he walked backwards and I walked towards him. He brought his hands up to my face a stroked my hair then down to my face. His cold skin made me shiver.
'You don't know how long ive waited for you' he said while stroking my face softly and delicately like I was a china doll. Weak and breakable.
'And so the lion fell in love with the lamb' he said calmly never looking away from my eyes.
'What a stupid lamb'
'What a sick masochist lion.' We stayed there looking at each other for ages until Edward took my hand again and pulled me into a deep part of the forest. He suddenly put his hands over my eyes.
'Walk forward, don't worry I wont let you fall.' I obeyed and walked forward.
'Open' I did and was gob smacked. We were in a little meadow that was filled with little colourful flowers. It was so pretty. The grass was super green and not a single weed or towering tree in sight except for around the edge. The sun shone directly down. I lied down happily and Edward followed. He put his arm behind his head as I lay on them.
'I have this pull to protect you, I don't have the strength to stay away from you.' He whispered into my ear
'Then don't, im not leaving you' I replied. Soon after I fell asleep, dreaming happily in my special meadow with Edward.
EPOV
She was fast asleep in my arms in the meadow. She looked so peaceful. She was beautiful. I thought about what had happened. She didn't care that I was a possible killer. She loved me and wasn't going to run away from me in fright. That made me very happy. I had told her everything and if the Volutri found out they would hunt her down and kill her. They couldn't know for a while. I didn't want to turn her into one of us. She didn't deserve to be brought into the world of immortality where you have no soul or heart. You could feel feelings but not show them probably. It was torture. You had to be on guard all the time. While I thought it started to rain. I looked at her and didn't want to wake her up. I picked her up bridal style and flung my jacket over her. I ran with her in my arms as fast as I could back to my car. Once we got there I fastened her in, still asleep and set off home. I put the heat on for when she woke up so that she wouldn't get cold. I drove super fast since she wasn't awake to criticise me.
We got back to her house at around 4.30. Her father wasn't home and wouldn't be until around 6. I picked her up again and walked to the door. I looked under the door mat and found the key. I unlocked the door and placed her gently on the sofa. I sat next to her and watched television for a bit. She soon woke up. She shot up and looked around groggily.
'Oh!'
'What?'
'You're here!'
'Yeah?'
'So it wasn't a dream? You're a vampire and you love me?'
'Yes I am a vampire and yes I do love you.' I replied kissing her on the lips before getting up. 'Your father will be home soon, I think you should start some tea. I'll pick you up for school tomorrow. Actually at 7 tonight go up to your room.'
'Why?'
'You'll see' I replied and with that I walked out gently shutting the door behind me. I drove home and was met by a beaming Esme and JA.
'OMG!! You love her!' JA screamed at me and jumping into my arms.
'Im so happy for you Edward' my mother said embracing me in a hug.
'Ok, this is strange but thank you mother' I replied receiving the hug.
They both beamed at me and followed me inside. I was happy and so was the rest of my family. It was heaven. And my heaven was waiting for me about 4 miles away.
