Chapter 20

[EPOV]

We herd a loud gasp from upstairs. Death looked up at the ceiling.

"Poison? Is everything okay?" he called.

"Yeah! Everything's fine," Poison replied shakily. I frowned. Something was definitely not fine.

Then Poison walked downstairs in a dark navy robe. I looked closer and saw she was trembling slightly.

Death was by her side in a second. He put an arm around her shoulder.

"Are you sure? You look shaken," he said in a worried tone.

"Like I said Death I'm fine. Really," she added when he didn't look convinced.

She shook his hand off and headed outside.

We were just sitting in the living room doing various activities when we heard a loud gasp. I could tell it was from Bella because I could sense the shock coming off her. Something bad must've happened because the shock coming off her was really strong.

I looked up at the ceiling.

"Poison? Is everything okay?" I called.

"Yeah! Everything's fine," Bella replied shakily. I frowned. She was lying.

Then Bella walked downstairs in a dark navy robe. She was trembling slightly.

I was by her side in a second. I put an arm around her shoulder.

"Are you sure? You look shaken," I said in a worried tone.

"Like I said Death I'm fine. Really," she added when I didn't look convinced.

She shook my hand off and headed outside.

I sighed. I sat down with my head in my hands.

"What happened?" Alice asked.

"She's lying. I know it. There's something terribly wrong and she won't tell me. I must be really bad because she never lies to me," I whispered.

I looked up at the two. I looked for something to distract me.

You should hunt," I said to Edward, noticing his pitch black eyes.

"It's nothing unmanageable," Edward said with a sigh.

"A little fresh air would do you good too," I added.

He nodded and got up. I watched him walk out of the house and turned to look at Alice who was staring at me with fascination.

"What?" I asked her.

"It's amazing how you guys love each other so much and you care for each other like the other is the only thing you have left," she said awed.

"Well she is my only family. We're a family of two and always will be," I said and went back to reading my history books.

I ran from the house before Jasper could stop. I ran and ran and finally came to my meadow. Edward's meadow. Our meadow.

It was a little sunny and my cloak glowed a little.

I lay down and pulled my hood off. I pushed the sleeves of the cloak back and sighed. My skin sparkled like little diamonds. I remembered when I was human I used to be so fascinated of Edward sparkling in the sun. How I spent several minutes trying to figure out why his skin sparkled. How I picked his hand up and looked closely at the sparkles.

There was a patter of feet in the distance. I immediately knew that the footsteps were heading my way so I put my hood back up but let the sleeves be.

The scent of the vampire hit my nose and I cringed.

"Hey Edward," I said calmly.

[EPOV]

I raced into the meadow and to my surprise I saw Poison.

She was lying down in the middle of the meadow and the sun shone down on her. Her sleeves were pulled back but her hood still covered her face.

"Hey Edward," she said nonchalantly.

"You know about this meadow?" I asked as I sat down beside her.

"Yeah I found it while I was hunting," she said coolly.

I don't know why but I felt like she was lying.

"It's beautiful isn't it," she asked as I lay down too.

"Yes," I agreed wholeheartedly.

"What was his name?" I asked her a few minutes later.

Poison hesitated for a second but then she answered my question.

"Anthony Lockwhit," she answered quickly.

We didn't talk for the next few minutes and just listened to each others breath.

"What were you chuckling about before?" I asked breaking the silence.

"Um? Well Alice's thoughts. She thought Death was her Jasper."

"Oh!"

It was silent again.

"What would you do if someone told you Bella was alive again and a vampire?" Poison asked a few seconds later.

I froze.
