Eternally together
Chapter 13- Vampire in training
Harmony's POV.
Every day this past month was the same, after waking up Alice would dress me up like her Barbie doll (today I was wearing a simple casual cotton red dress that went down to mid thigh with spaghetti straps), she would train me more on the Volturi, try to figure out my special talent as she couldn't see it unless I could, and then we would talk more about being a vampire. I thought I knew everything but I didn't. Bella and I were becoming best of friends, I always begged her to tell me more stories about her and Edward, and stories about going in public after being a vampire. She was my own personal trainer in that sense, as she was an advanced new born herself. She also taught me how to act human, to not sit still for too long, and to use objects gently so I don't crush them with my strength.
Jasper and I also got very close, which isn't hard being around Alice so much. Rosalie and Emmett immediately left as soon as they could. I managed to squeeze out of Edward that she is a bit upset that I got turned, which wasn't my fault apparently. It's because she wishes she was human. And every day at 3.50pm my day got a little brighter.
Robert would come home. I loved everyone here, but somehow I could relate with Robert the most and him with me. We were the same, almost. I was just those few degrees cooler then him.
The door flew open, Robert was home. Thump. My heart always did that when he arrived.
"Robert!" I shrieked as I ran to him and hugged him "How was school?" he beamed ear to ear.
"It was excellent, I learned geometry for the, ah, 188th time" he laughed. Alice's enthusiasm was starting to rub off on me. "Nice dress" he said looking down at me.
"Thanks" I rolled my eyes "Alice" one word. He let out a chuckle.
"You know, I never told you, my favourite colour is red" He stated.
"Really?" I asked "looks like Alice's favourite colour is red, she always buys me red clothing." I explained.
"Ah, yeah" he said as his heart picked up speed. I'll remember to ask Alice that later, he was lying, I was sure of it.
"Thirsty?" he asked
"Always" I repeated glumly.
We ran immediately into the forest and hunted Elk. I always got a stain of blood on me and he always comforted me and said I'd get better. But today I didn't have a spot.
"Robbie, look!" I exclaimed.
"Wow, not a spot of blood on you, well done!" he put out his hand in a high five and I hit it with too much force. It sounded like cars crashing into each other.
"Ow!" he grimaced
"Sorry! Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry are you okay?" I hustled putting my arms around his back and he knelt over in pain.
"Yes, you just a little too strong, for now" he snickered. I took my hands off him and the colours danced around his skin. I was starring. Again.
"Earth to Harmony" he chuckled lightly.
"Sorry what?" I snapped out of it.
"I said 'Are you done'?" he laughed once more.
"Yeah…I think" I wasn't sure if he meant hunting, which was a yes, or starring at him, which was a no, always a no.
We ran to our favourite spot in the meadow and lay on our backs in the grass side by side, as we had this past month.
"Alice said it is going to be sunny finally today, you get to see me in the sun" he grinned.
"Well, how exactly do you look in the sun?" I questioned.
"Hmm…you'll have to wait" he looked over to me smiling that crooked smile I love. I reciprocated his smile.
"I wonder how I will look" I pondered.
"You will look beautiful, as always" he didn't smile; the sides of his mouth were lifted up earnestly. I was taken aback. I laughed
"Well I mean in the sun, will I be as sparkly as them?" I asked adding humor. All this serious talk made me nervous.
"Probably" he mumbled putting his hands behind his head. He seemed upset with me. Did he hate my curiosity? Did he think I was vain? I should lighten this up. The silence was killing me. I needed to hear his voice again. I always felt emptiness when he wasn't speaking, it was unexplainable.
"You're not going to tell me? Not even a hint? How you look?" I asked teasingly.
"Nope." He stated.
"Not if I beg?"
"Nope" He smiled his crooked smile.
"How about if I stop wearing red?" He glanced at me, his brows furrowed and then he relaxed them, pretending that it didn't bother him-but I knew better.
"Nope"
"What about if I threaten to shave my head"
"It's your cold head not mine" he cackled. I giggled.
"How about if I…" I pondered. No I couldn't say that, what was I thinking?
"If you?" He asked intrigued.
"Never mind." I muttered looking away. He sat up now, interested. I sat up also.
"If you?" he urged trying to control the grimace on his face.
"Nothing!" I shook my head. I was never going to mention that.
"C'mon tell me!" he pleaded.
"If you tell me first" I smiled.
"That defeats the purpose" he laughed. "C'mon..." he pleaded.
"If I," I paused, I was going to have to make something else up. "Do this" I grabbed my hand and placed my finger tips on his arm and moved it up and down watching the flickers of colour and flashing of different hues.
"Getting warmer" he murmured, he closed his eyes for a moment. I cocked an eyebrow.
"Or if I do this" I said as I put both of my hands on both of his arms.
"Warmer" he hummed, a smile spreading across his face.
"Or this?" I cooed as I put both my hands on his neck and up into his hair. Was I flirting just so we would tell me how he looked in the sun? His eyes opened and his expression was serious. I looked down and took my hands from his hair. That was inappropriate.
"So are you going to tell me?" I said looking down ashamed.
"Look" he pleaded. I looked up. His hair was blue where I touched it. I giggled. He laughed with me.
"Never" He smirked. I huffed and folded my arms. He could be so mean.
