Gift

The fire calmed down, moved only to one point. My throat.
It was even worse than before.
I wished I was able to scream, but it hurts too much.
I wished I was able to cry, but only dry tears rolled invisible over my cheeks.
Edward was still laying on my chest, listening to the sound of my heart, or what rested.
He said nothing. He only cried…dry tears like me.

"Edward?" I managed to say, my voice sounded rough.

"Yes my love." He whispered back. Now he came off my chest.

"It still hurts!"

"It's the thirst, it's normal." He brushed my cheek, dried the invisible tears from my face.

"Where's Jasper. I don't see him, I can't feel him." I panicked even more.

"He went to get you some…food." His voice was still soft.

"Ah." I said. I wanted to go to sleep again, but I couldn't.

"I've changed." It wasn't a question.

"Yes, love. You are. And you are more beautiful than ever." He said while he softly kissed my forehead. "And you know what?"

"Mmmm"

"I still love you…yet even more." His cold lips –they weren't so cold anymore –moved to the top of my nose. "You don't smell as good as before, but you smell still so good."

"You smell better than ever." I whispered.
He laughed gently. He kissed the corner of my mouth.

"How long?" I asked.
He knew what I asked.

"Three days, that's normal." He said while he kept pressing soft kisses on my face. "But you've lost consciousness." He laughed again.

"I knew." I said by myself.

"What?"

"I said I love you, Edward."It was a lie, but I really was embarrassed. He smiled. And then he kissed me. His lips moved –softly first –around the shapes of my mouth. I kissed him back, nothing could happen anymore. His hands knotted in my hair, while mine moved to his chest.

"Nothing can happen to you anymore." He whispered, -answering my thoughts- to my lips. "You won't need any morphine anymore." I knew what he wanted. We were alone, the rest was out hunting, I could feel it.
I started to dissolve the buttons of his shirt, while his hands moved to the base of mine. Still my breath became uneven. His lips moved now rougher on mine, and I don't even felt that. I almost forgot the burning pain in my throat His chest don't felt so cold anymore, but still my hands shook when I touched it. Maybe it wasn't the cold.
I felt something. A presence. Someone came to our little house. It was…Jasper. He was coming back. I could feel it.

"Jasper's coming" We said together in the same anxious voice.
Then there was a silence. Short, but it felt like an hour.

"How…" He started trying to figure out. "How did you…What was that?" He asked while he gently pushed off of me.

"I don't know." I whispered. My breath still uneven.

"That was weird, you know." He quickly tied his shirt around his waist.

"Very weird." I agreed, while I dressed myself again.
A couple of seconds later, Jasper came in. He doesn't even knock on the door.

"I'll ask later." He whispered.
But I couldn't even answer? The smell of blood burned in my nose and throat.
I don't remember what happened next, but a cow, ripped in pieces, was laying on the grass in front of me. I felt horrible, I just killed an innocent animal. I wasn't able to feel my legs anymore. Edward was just in time to pick me up before I would fall.
Again, I wished I was able to cry. Edward hold me tight and I buried my face against his chest.

"Don't worry Bella, It's nothing." He said to my hair.
Jasper came to see what's happened. Immediately I felt calmer.
Edward took me in his arms like a little child and wore my inside. He laid me on the couch. I was still trembling.

"Ssst, my love. It's going to be fine."

"Jasper, will you come inside the house please?" I begged. I wanted, no, I needed to feel his calm.

"Bella?"

"Yes."

"How do you know?" Edward asked, his lips by my ear.

"I see…" I whispered. "People, vampires, …"

"What?"

"I can see them, Edward. I see where they are."

"Like…" He doesn't know what to say.

"Yes, just like Alice sees the future. I know where she is, right now."
Edward's face was thoughtful.

"Edward," I whispered now, trembling voice, "I can even see Charlie…"
