Here you go! :)
Enjoy...
Edward POV...
I truly do hope that Jasper is right, because I'm headed over to Bella's tree house right now. After my phone call with Jasper yesterday I went for a hunt to clear my head. It didn't work too well. Now here I am standing in the forest surrounding Bella's tree house.
I look up and see her building another tree house room in her tree. This room is smaller and higher up in her tree. It's got 4 walls, and a door. She is just now hanging up the door vines. She jumps down and lands on a platform in front of her main room's door. The platform is new. She walks inside and grabs something. She comes out with a backpack on her back then she jumps up to the other room. She moves around inside the room. It sounds like she is opening and closing drawers.
Then she comes out and jumps down again, but instead of going into her house she looks in my direction and smiles a little. I take a step forward and raise my hands a little.
"Hi, Edward. The vampire man who is brother to Jasper and Alice. I'm Bella but you already know that. My friends are around here somewhere, but you already know them. It's a pleasure to meet you. We are the shadows of each other. Together and separate are like fire and ice. Love me or hate me." She says. I stare blankly at her.
How does she know my name? And that Alice and Jasper are my siblings? And that I already know her and her friends? Then it hits me.
"You were there during my calls yesterday." I state. I lower my hands and walk closer.
"Yeah, sorry for eavesdropping. Wanna come up? I've added 3 other rooms. One has a great view of the ocean." She said. I walk up under the platform and look up. She looks down at me and smiles.
"Do I just jump up?" I ask stupidly.
"Or you could use the Fred Vine." She says gesturing to the rope next to me. I just jump up to the platform instead.
We walk into the main room and it looks like a living room. She has a rug, panther fur. She has shelves on the one wall that doesn't have a window. On the shelves she has the picture, and the four medals from the picture. There is also two chairs, carved out of tree trunks.
"This is so beautiful." I say walking up to a window. This window faces the palm trees.
"Thank you. I really like to go over board on my projects." She says walking up next to me.
"No, this room is perfect. It's simple but elegant in a way. I think Tarzan would be jealous." I say jokingly. She laughs a sweet sound.
"Come on, let's tour the rest of the tree. I've built 3 other rooms. A closet, a bedroom and another room." Bella said. She smiled when she said, another room.
We walked out to the platform and jumped up to her closet. Inside is a dresser that has 4 drawers. The dresser she made is the only thing in this room. We jump up again and we are at her bedroom. This room has 5 walls, 2 windows, and a door. Bella has made a bed, a vanity, and a bookshelf. The vanity has a mirror, and a drawer. The bookshelf stands up against the wall and has 3 shelves. She has some books on one of the shelves. She also has a rug in here. I can't tell what is used to be though.
"It's a silver back gorilla. I skinned him myself." Bella said. I looked at Bella then back a the rug.
"Wow, did you skin the panther too?" I asked. She smiled and nodded.
"Wow, I don't know if I could skin an animal and make a rug." I said.
"I didn't know I could either until I tried." Bella said. Then she grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the door.
"Come on, this next room is my favorite." Bella said.
We jumped up and landed on a platform. The room was about 5 feet away from the platform. There was no roof, and the walls didn't have windows and there was no door. It was just a wooden box. The box didn't look big enough to fit a person. This confused me.
Bella turned and started to pull a vine. The walls gently laid down and made a platform. Then Bella pulled a different vine and the branches above us moved out of the way, to reveal the day time sky. I stared at the gap in the branches then looked down at the floor.
Bella grabbed something from behind me and stepped on to the floor. She unfolded something and finally it made a lounge chair, like the ones you see by a pool. She unfolded another and sat in one. I looked behind me and saw a cabinet hanging in the tree. Inside was 5 other folded up chairs. I finally walked onto the floor and sat down in the chair.
"This is amazing." I said looking at the sky. I looked back at Bella and noticed that her skin was glittering, like all vampires do in the sun.
"It's even more beautiful at night when you can see the stars." Bella said. Then she tilted her head a little toward the ground. I listened and heard her friends at the base of the tree.
"Bell you up there?" A female voice asked.
"Yeah, I'm in the skylight." She called out.
"The what?" A male said.
"Oh just jump up the platforms until you find me." Bella said, annoyed. Her friends began to climb up the tree.
"Should I leave?" I asked quietly, even though I knew her friends heard me.
"No, stay. I like having you here." Bella said, almost too low for me to hear. I smiled widely and waited to meet her friends.
