Edward POV...
Free. Thirsty. Out of control.
These are a few of the things I was feeling right now. I had just finished off a bear when I caught that scent again. The one that pulled me back to reality but it's also the one that makes me feel vunerable, weak. I stayed slightly on guard as I made my way toward the delicious scent. Once I got close enough I saw a woman laying on the ground.
She was dressed in a white flowy dress. She layed on her stomach, right ankle crossed over her left, left arm supporting her head of mahogany locks. Her hair covered her face but revealed her neck to my ease. I could tell she was asleep by how slow her breathing was and her quiet heart beat. The sound of her heart beat and the pulse in her vein made my throat burn.
I walked over to her and knelt down beside her. I brushed her hair out of this angel's face. Her right hand was laying inbetween her chin and her chest, open. Almost inviting me to her pulsing vein. I leaned down and was inches from her neck when something inside me changed. I pulled back and stumbled away from her body. I crawled backwards until I backed into a tree.
I stared in horror at the angel's body, still intact. She slowly opened her eyes and looked right back at me, confused. Bella sat up and reached her hand out to me. I shook my head furiously. I can't believe I almost killed her. I can't believe I even thought about it. Bella's hand fell into her lap as hurt and confusion crossed her angelic face. It looked all wrong on her.
I took deep breaths, Bella's scent filling my nose, telling me she was still alive. I ever so slowly stood up and made my way back to Bella. I sat down next to her and took her hands in mine. I rubbed circles on the back of her hand trying to erase the hurt and confusion. Bella looked up to the sky, the confusion growing. I looked up with her but couldn't see anything.
"They need me. You can head that way back to the huts if you want. I'll be a while. I'll explain everything when I get back." Bella said looking back at me. I stood us up and looked at her.
"Who are they?" I asked.
"The other al-mighty dragons. I love you." She whispered to me.
"Love you too. Be safe." I whispered back.
"I will." She said before placing a kiss on my cheek and hugging me. I hugged her back and after a minute she pulled back and looked at the sky angrily.
"I'm coming." She growled quietly. She kissed my cheek once more then walked into the woods. She turned back to smile at me then with a light breeze she was gone. I slowly started to make my way back to the huts. When I got into the hut town Oliver came out of one of his many huts.
"Edward, where's Bella?" He asked.
"I was out hunting and I amost killed human Bella but she's fine. Anyway, she looked up at the sky then looked back at me. And said that 'they' needed her. I asked who they was and she said the other al-mighty dragons and that she would explain when she got back." I said.
"Oh alright." He said. He walked toward the garden with the pot he was carying.
"What are the al-mighty's besides dragons? Like what do they do?" I asked as I followed him.
"They are like the royalty of all the dragons, like those vampires of yours over across the ocean. They get rid of any draogn who tried to reaveal us or broke a dragon law." Oliver said.
"Is Bella an al-mighty?" I asked.
"Yes, she is the al-mighty wind dragon." He said as he picked something that looked like a fruit.
"How did she become an al-mighty?" I asked.
"She is one of the last wind dragons that anyone knows of. Some believe that there is a wind dragon city somewhere out there but no one has ever found it." Oliver said.
"What do wind dragons do?" I asked. I admit I was curious to know more about Bella. She isn't the person to really answer your questions all at once.
"They can create a sudden wind out of nowwhere. They can control how fast they fly with help of the wind currents. They can do anything really with the help of wind. But Bella, she's special." Oliver said. He placed the last fruit looking thing in the pot and walked passed me.
"Special how?" I asked, following him. We walked into a hut that slightly resembled a kitchen.
"Bella can control the other al-mighty elements." He said simply.
"What other elements are there?" I asked.
"There are just the 3; fire, water and wind." He said.
"Why can she control them all?" I asked.
"No one really knows. There was only one other dragon who could control all 3 of them but he was long since dead when Bella was created." Oliver said. He grabbed an empty pot and walked out of the hut.
I followed him as I thought. Bella said that the dragon dragged her deeper into the lake water. Why was that dragon in that lake in the first place? No one knows who created Bella and the only other dragon who could control the 3 elements was dead... Or was he?
"Oliver, do you know where I can find out more about your history?" I asked.
"Yeah, the Lost Library of Benbury. Benbury was the dragon who could control the 3 elements." He said like it was impossible.
"Where is it?" I asked. He turned and looked at me.
"It's lost. Hence the name." He said.
"Where was it last?" I asked.
"New Zealand, but everyone who has gone to look for it has come back with nothing." He said. He continued to pull purple things out of the ground. The looked like purple carrots.
"Do you have a map or something of where it was last?" I asked. He turned to study my face.
"Yeah, why?" He asked.
"I'm going to look for it." I said simply. He stood up, the purple carrots forgotten.
"Let me go get it for you." He said. I just stood there waiting. He walked back to me with a long burgandy tube that had a strap on it.
"The map is inside. Don't let humans see it. Ever." He warned. He held it out to me.
I took it and opened the tube. I pulled out an old looking tube. The paper was yellowed with age. I slid it back into the tube and closed the top. I slid it onto my arm and over my head.
"Can you tell Bella to meet me at the house when she gets back?" I asked.
"And she knows what this house is?" He asked. He said house like it was a foreign word.
"Yeah, she knows." I said.
"Okay, I can do that." He said.
"Thank you." I said then ran in the direction the sun was setting. West toward Washington.
