CHAPTER TEN (10)

Edward's POV:

I laughed quietly as Lexie reminded one of our old memories.

"Oh, that was wonderful! I miss those days." I chuckled, thinking of how Adelaide and Lexie got in a little argument over who was going to sit next to me during the evening tea.

"You were so popular with the ladies, Mr. Mason." Lexie giggled, as I rolled my eyes at her.

"Yeah, Uhuh," I shook my head; a crooked grin on my face. It was silent then for a little afterwards.

She turned herself to face towards me. "Oh! I still can't believe this is all real. I thought I had lost you forever. I've missed you so much, Eddie!" her blood red eyes looked like they would erupt in tears as she threw her arms to wrap them around me for the second time today.

I palmed her back and uncomfortably squirmed out of her bone-crushing hug. I still wasn't quite sure if I was used to being this close to a vampire.

She pulled back with curiosity burning in her eyes. "Do I scare you?" I flashed my famous smile to her.

"You've always scared me, even as a human." She said. We both laughed and it felt good. Almost carefree.

"Who's that brown eyed human girl?" She asked casually as we strolled down the garden.

I shrugged in response, feeling a certain emotion as she brought the girl up to discussion.

"I honestly have no clue...I wish I did. I feel like I do or I need to, but I don't." I watched as Lexie processed this and found myself wanting to know more about this girl. I quickly shunned my curiosity as Lexie spoke again.

"She seemed very protective of you." She mused. I thought I saw a hint of jealousy in Lexie's features.

"Hmm, it seems that way doesn't it?" I nodded. "Was she your mate?" I asked with clear annoyance clear on my structures, as I raised my voice.

"NO!" Lexie giggled, evidently enjoying my bother. "Do you wish her to be?" she teased. And or this, I had no answer. "How about we forget about this, all right?" I said. I then picked up a pebble and chucked it at an open space. "So, where have you been all these years?" I questioned curiously.

We found a bench and sat. "Hmmm. Nowhere in particular. I've mainly been looking for you, mister. But I've stayed a couple months in Brazil, then a year in Italy...'' she trailed off.

I didn't know why, but when she mentioned Italy it had some kind of a sadistic sound to it that made me cringe. I just nodded.

"No one cached your eye?" I asked, as she looked uneasy for a bit.

"Why, are you jealous?" she teased.

I chuckled and put my hands up. "You caught me, Sherlock."

Lexie suddenly tensed and turned her head to the house abruptly, letting out a slight hiss.

"What is it?" I asked, trying to look to see what she saw.

"The pixie is back….without the human. C'mon, we should go, too." She said.

We got up and walked to the door. I then started hearing voices, and knew immediately we were close. We walked in the threshold, and it fell silent as soon as they noticed us. All eyes on us, then, all eyes including Lexie's, were on me.

Awkward. "What?" I felt very self-conscience of myself.

Alice spoke in her clear soprano voice, all too quickly. "Nothing. You need to go and play with your human eater." she smugly grinned and stuck her tongue out at Lexie, as she responded with a growl.

I couldn't help but laugh, and then looked at all of them seriously.

"I want to know," the blonde stared at me with an icy glare. "It's nothing of your concern anymore; you can leave now, human." The way she spat out the word human, sounded like she were somehow higher than us.

I planted my feet and Lexie slowly started to back off, going up to my room. "Fine, if you must then sit over there." Alice pointed to a small sofa in the corner and the meeting began where it left off.

"She wants to stay with the Werewolves! Carlisle, you can't let her do that. It's insane!" Alice exclaimed. Carlisle looked weary.

It didn't take me to long to figure out who they were talking about. I just didn't know what they were talking about with the wolves. Could they also exist, too? The doctor interrupted my thoughts.

"Now, Alice, calm down and tell me what she said.'' He said seriously, but there was still a hint of calmness in his voice.
