Chapter 10: A Name-Less Child of Innocence.

Edward's POV

Mom and I were at the super market next to the park. We walked up to this tent where they always sold kid's toys. I begged and begged for this blue ball with a gold star on it. Of course mom said yes and was even happier now that I was happy because I had a new ball. Well I was walking along bouncing my ball while mom got stuff for her to make her famous chili when my ball hit a crack in the side walk. My ball rolled all the way down the hill, through the park, and into one of the back allies to my favorite bread store. I remember it was very dark and I couldn't see my ball. There was an old rusted pipe in the top corner of the alley; it leaked a drop of water every 3 seconds. I saw what was left of an old and big cardboard box on the left side of the alley. I was sacred to go near it but my ball rolled out of it, hit the wall of the opposite side of the alley and rolled back into the box. I remember thinking 'a magic box. COOL'. But of course after thinking that, I had to go look in it. That was the first time I saw her.

She was wearing what looked like a little pink dress, it was torn and I couldn't see very well anyways because of the dark. But what I noticed the most were her eyes, they were still the most beautiful amber shade of brown. I didn't know what to say, and I was confused why she was there on the street, alone, she was so little and so thin. "Would you like me to play with you?" she looked unsure but when I smiled it seemed to reassure her, she nodded her head vigorously. I sat down on the ground against the other wall. We began to roll the ball back and forth… I remember her laugh when she would roll the ball bad on purpose just to make me get up and go get it, then I would roll it again for a while. We played until unset, and she never left the box, she never talked, just laughed, and when it can time for me to leave… I didn't want to. "The sun is about to go down, I need to go my mommy will be looking for me." She looked even sadder and was about to cry. "Can you please tell me your name." she looked as if she wanted to speak. I just had to make her smile one more time… "Would you like me to come back and play again tomorrow?" she smiled so big I thought her face was going to hurt and she nodded her head. "Okay I will come back tomorrow if you tell me your name." I think she was more than willing because she was happy, but it was so dark, and we were still rolling the ball back and forth- I didn't want the game to end- that when I looked up I was able to see her lips move, just a little. "I'm sorry I didn't catch that… can you please say it one more time…" I tried my hardest to read her lips. When she moved them one more time, just slower, I tried to mimic mine with hers. After a few more times I had to guess, because the sun had just gone down and I needed to get home for dinner. "Bella, Is you name Bella?" She giggled real loud and smiled even bigger than before. I felt as if I had just won the top student award at my school. I had made her happy... "So Bella, I promise to come back tomorrow and play with you" suddenly I felt sad "but for now I have to go. I had fun" and with that I left.
