As the pain eased I took in my surroundings, looking slightly different through human eyes, just not as sharp. I sighed as I recapped the past couple of days in my head. Confused as to why I nearly gave up the last bit of humanity I have kept hold of theses long years.
I was annoyed at my actions, I needed to be strong and I just let it take over. That can never happen again, it's just getting too powerful.
The last thing that my eyes met was two golden pools surrounded by an angel like face. They were awestruck and a slight hint of a smile hovered very close to the surface.
"Are you ok, my sweet"? The way those words flowed out of his perfect mouth and then his cool breath hit my face I very nearly forgot to answer. "Yes, yea I'm fine". I ducked my head down his eyes stunning gold staring down into mine was more than I could bear for more than a couple of minutes at a time.
Then horror struck me, as I looked down at myself. He must have notice because his face instantly changed into a frown that creased his forehead. "What is it, are you hurt let me see?" his hand moved to the blanket and I stopped him just before he removed it.
My face went scarlet red I could feel the burn all over my body. I must look a mighty rosy colour now. "Don't, I just… this is all that's covering the rest of my dignity" I swear nobody could have ever been more embarrassed than me in that moment. I saw realisation come over his face and he pulled away a little.
"Oh…. Sorry I didn't realise, well I'll get Alice she will have something to for to wear I'm sure". I could not look him in the eye, I just wanted to morph at that second but I was too tired. At that moment when I was judging whether to throw myself out of the window a knock was at the door.
The door flew open and there was Alice with clothes in hand ordering Edward out. This made me smile until I realised he was really leaving. I hadn't been away from him in days now I felt so attached. I moved to catch his shirt just before he got out of reach, he turned to look at me.
"Don't worry Bella I'll be just out there" I followed his long gracious hand as it was pointed to the door, I felt a little better but still uncomfortable. "You're in good hands I know it" I heard a sigh and saw Alice rolling her eyes.
"Edward really, I'm not going to torture her" shaking her head she shoved him through the door. "We won't be long, need some girl time" she shouted through the door. She came towards me with a gleaming smile on her face and I shrank back ever so slightly.
"Hey don't worry I won't hurt you, I can control myself, sorry about before though easy mistake" she spoke in the softest of voice then added a little smile at the end. "It's ok I understand, I think" I had the smallest of quiver in my voice. "I'll explain things to you in better detail if you want" she held out her hand and waited for me to take it.
I looked down at the small, white hand and then cautiously took in the rest of this little vampire. She was quite petite very small feminine frame but all in perfect proportion. She had a short black bob that contrasted beautifully with her pale skin. Her hair framed her face nicely and only then I realised she had the same golden eyes as Edward.
I slowly took her hand, stone cold just as I thought. She grinned and dragged me to the bathroom, with only the blanket wrapped round me. The bathroom was huge, looked like whole bedroom could fit in here.
She laid the clothes out, and then started to mix and match holding certain items up to me then tossing them away. My eyes were wide with surprise at all the clothes she had brought and was going through them at an alarming rate.
"Can't I pick my clothes out" the look of horror on her face, then turned into sadness "bu..bu..but Bella" her bottom lip quivered. I felt so bad "but of course you are doing a fantastic job at it though" her face lit up "oh thank you" she gave me a hug then went back to the clothes. I took a deep breath. She finally turned around with an outfit in hand. She held up a pair of what look like designer jeans, and lovely deep blue fitted shirt with a white tank top for underneath. I smiled I did like her choice indeed. Then she handed me a few scraps of lacy material, I frowned and looked at her.
"well you need something to cover that bare butt" she said over her shoulder as she left me in the bathroom to change. I held up the red lacy underwear, "I don't think these can cover much at all" I whispered under my breath.
"You don't need much covered honey, trust me" she giggled through the door. I went completely beetroot from head to toe. "when your dressed we can work on your hair."
I rolled my eyes at her comment, this is going to be a long morning. Once dressed before I could attempt to fix my own hair Alice shot back in like a bullet. "Don't worry about that I'm the expert in fashion" she sat me down on a stool and whipped of a brush.
"So how you feeling then missy kitty kat"
I smirked "I'm fine thanks, just bit sore. Feels little bit weird being human again, trying to get used to these slow reflexes again" I sighed.
She slowly nodded her head "well I wouldn't know what it feels like to be in another form but I'm right with you on the feeling like an outcast of society" she chuckled, must mean human society.
"Yea suppose….erm can I ask you something about that"
"Fire away, think we both curious about each other" she mumbled as she was trying to comb out some of the knots in my hair.
I agreed "ok so let's do this I'll ask a question then your turn"
"oohhh yea that be fun" at this time she was straightening my hair bit by bit.
"Sooo you're just like Edward then, with the super strength and all?"
"Yep, super strength, hearing, smell, sight, speed and all that. Oh and I have vision of the future as well but that's just me, I'm special."
I took that all in that means it's probably the same for the rest of the family as well.
"Wow ok you go". "Hmmmmm well don't take this the wrong way but what are you?" she had stop straightening my hair and was staring at me in the mirror.
I only laughed, the way she said it I wasn't offended. She let me calm down and I could see the curiosity in her eyes all big and round looking to understand the unique creature in front of her.
My heart filled with the pain and sorrow that it normally does when I think of my life and how I can to be or the life I could have had if it hadn't.
"Hey don't worry about it, I'll ask something else" she could plainly see the pain on my face. "No it's ok, I need to come to terms with it eventually and accept it." I took a big breath and let it out slowly.
"It was well I am an experiment. Was kidnapped when I was younger by a man and he did tests on me. Not sure what he wanted the result to be. I don't know if I was a failed experiment but all I know is he wants me back to do more tests I'm very valuable to him". A single tear fell from the corner of my eye at the thought of being back there.
"Sorry" it was just that single word but I felt it was meant on some level like she understood. She returned to my hair, letting me calm my emotions.
"Your turn then" she chirped with an encouraging smile. I took a steady breath and asked the next question from the top of my head.
It went on like this for about 30mins before she announced we were done. I must admit I did look good.
I went and opened the door to find Edward kept his promise and was still outside the door. "Sorry we took so long, girl time" I smiled and gave Alice a wink over my shoulder. She giggled and gave me a hug then skipped out of the room "you're my new best friend" she squealed as she disappeared down the hall.
Edward took my hand and led my back into the room, to the bed and pulled me down next to him. "you look so beautiful" he said leaning in he kissed my check "thank your sister for that" I laughed he grinned and whispered in my ear I thought you looked stunning before you added the clothes".
That did it I was in full blushing mode, I ducked my eyes down. Only to have Edward lift my chin with his fingers and kiss me ever so gently on the lips. I swear I nearly blacked out I know I went all dizzy. "I love the blush on your checks" he whispered against my lips.
He took my face in both his hands and I looked deep into those dazzling eyes. "Now Bella tell me what happened" I sighed romantic moment gone. I sat back on the bed a little more and pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.
"Well after you left kayne was telling me about what HE had done to him. He tried to get out but failed, he had been badly beaten and hurt" a small tear escaped and Edward caught it, I couldn't look at him only focus on one spot on the floor as I recalled that life threatening moment.
"He was covered in scars all over, I just didn't understand why he had come now. I had only just moved here. But I was so happy to see him it has been years.
His mood suddenly changed and so did his tone, he became cold and uncaring. Blankness in the depths of his eyes, hardened to what was about to happen.
That's when HE came out of the trees I was frozen in place, I didn't believe what I was seeing. Then it all happened at once I knew I had been betrayed and I ran".
That's when I looked in Edwards eyes, I saw many different things but mostly anger and sorrow. He pulled to him and I rested my head on his chest and cried slightly. "As I tried to escape kayne clipped my wing, it was worse than I thought, the damage the blood it weakened me so much."
"then once I was here I didn't have the strength to show you it was me, and as each day that went by the animal, the beast inside me grew stronger and was supressing my humanity fighting to stay in control, and all I wanted to do was slip away. You was the only thing that stopped that the thought of being away from you of being sent to the pound"
I looked up at him and saw shock on his face "oh Bella I'm so sorry I didn't realise it was really you I just thought…..i don't know I'm so stupid" all I could do was laugh "hey don't worry about it Edward, I just know where to send you when you been bad" I gave him a grin even though there was tears in my eyes I was happy. He bent down and kissed my lips then just silently rocked me for a little while.
Please review, I know I haven't been on for ages but life gets in the way !
