I stood up.
It was a moment too late that Edward let go of my hand. I looked up at his face. He had a hint of a smile on his perfect lips. But a second later, he noticed me staring and the smile was gone in an instant.
He cleared his throat and said "Come on."
Then he disappeared. I stood alone in the room.
Then I heard him calling from downstairs "Aren't you coming?"
I shook my head in amazement of his speed. I began to run out of the room. I felt the wind rush by me and I heard the silent whip of branches around me.
I stopped. I was surrounded by trees and rain. The house was nowhere in sight. I heard the crickets and the hoot of an owl not too far away. I assumed it was nighttime. I smelt the wet grass and something else I couldn't identify.
Then I heard a howl that was close, too close, to where I was. I heard snaps of branches and the squelch of wet grass. I smelled a foul odor and I stiffened as I saw them.
A white wolf stepped into the clearing along with a brown one and a black one. I heard a few others behind me and two at each of my sides. I looked into the white one's eyes, assuming it was the leader, and only saw hunger in his eyes. He and his pack were hunting. I was on the menu and there was no where for me to run that they couldn't catch me.
All thoughts disappeared from my mind and I stood there, a sitting duck. The wolves were circling in closer. I surveyed my surroundings. A low lying branch came into my view and I was about to take chance at acrobatics, when I heard a growl from the bushes. The white wolf quickly called his pack off and ran, the others following.
I was about to sigh in relief, when I remembered the other predator in the bushes. I quickly turned around to face the predator which smelt strangely good for some reason. I turned around to look face to face with a mountain lion.
Utter fear sliced into my heart as I looked at the animal's feline eyes and lean body. I was paralyzed with awe and fear at the animal's predatory beauty. I couldn't scream, even if I wanted to. My only option was to run and I highly doubted I could outrun the lion.
The lion sauntered closer and I closed my eyes in fear. Then I heard a snarl, a sound of bones snapping and then silence. I opened my eyes to see Edward with his mouth on the lion's neck, drinking from it.
When he was finished he threw the mountain lion aside and approached me. What he said next surprised me.
"Didn't you remember anything I told you? Virtually indestructible? Hello?" I looked down, embarrassed at my own stupidity and forgetfulness.
But then I felt two of his fingers pushing my chin up so I would look up into his face. "I'm sorry. I'm just a bit surprised you hadn't tackled the lion as soon as you heard it." He chuckled. "Do you want to hunt some deer or something now?" He offered. I shook my head, still too shaken from what had happened only moments ago.
He sighed. I wished I didn't frustrate him like I did. I wished I could actually be worthy of his praise. Of his love.
Wait a minute. You just met this boy, Bella. Now you say you're in love with him? I chastised my thoughts, knowing they would only hurt me more in the end the more I dreamed of Edward and me.
His voice awoke me from my thoughts and his hand in mine only made the daydreams come back in full force. "Come on. I'lllead you home."
He began running and so did I. it felt wonderful running and feeling the wind in my face. I looked up at Edward to see him grinning from ear to ear. Weird. Then he did something I never expected.
He threw his head back and laughed. His laugh was a like a beautiful harmony of bells and I would have given anything to hear it forever, to be the cause of it.
Too soon we were back at the house. Too soon I was up the stairs, Edward left behind outside. Too soon I missed the feel of his hand in mine.
