Ch 14 The truth, part one

I looked down suddenly finding my hands very interesting "Edward you can tell me anything" she raised her hand and placed it on my left cheek.

I looked up to her and gazed into her eyes afraid of what I might find, what I found was not fear but love?

"Edward?" I took a deep breath filling my lungs with her unique sent and released it "have you ever noticed something different about me and my family?"

She looked away; I could tell she was deep in thought.

She turned back to face me "I've noticed that you don't ever eat and that your eyes change colour as well as your skin being ice cold" she looked up at me with a confused expression like she had just realised I was different "Edward what are you?" that was the question I had been dreading, she was going to run and I wouldn't stop her…

"Bella you have to realise that I would never hurt you and that it would be okay with me if you never wanted to see me again just know that you will always be in my thoughts" she nodded

"Bella me and my family we are different… we aren't even human" she looked at me "what?" she whispered. I took her hand and placed it over my dead heart "tell me what you feel?" I looked down into her doe like orbs "n-n-nothing" she stuttered and removed her hand, I looked away unable to look into her eyes.

She got up and walked over to the window "I can leave if you want" I whispered trying not to let my true feeling of dread leak into my speech but failed.

She turned back to me "no!" she ran back to the bed. "No... Edward I don't want you to leave and besides its your house" she looked up and gazed into my eyes, I could see and fear in her gaze "I just told you that I'm not human and I have no heart beat but you're not running way… why?"

"because I know you Edward, you would never hurt me or anyone for the right reason" I looked at her shocked "and well because you somehow saved me from Charlie… t-thank you by the way" she reached up and put her arms around my neck and held on for her life.

I put my arms around her "you are more than welcome… love" after she had calmed down a bit she let go smiling awkwardly. I didn't let my disappointment show.

"Edward you can tell me anything" referring back to the convocation. I looked at her and smiled "I have a special 'gift' as well as some of my other family members"

She smiled "well that just makes you more special Edward"

I really liked this girl; she always saw the positive in everything and everyone. "Thank you Bella" I sighed "but you may change your mind in a minute when I tell you what else I am capable of and what I have done"

She shook her head "I'll be the judge of that Edward" she said as she touched the tip of my nose with her finger.

"I can read minds"

She looked shocked "oh my god… you must thing I'm a right pervert" she said

I shook my head "know I don't… I can't read your mind and I'm sure even if I could I you wouldn't come across in that way…Your mind is one of the minds I would love to be able to read, I would give up my gift any day just for a couple of hours in your head."
