Hello there Senoritas (and Senors?) This particular one shot came to me while I was watching a little movie called Hannibal Rising. It's really creepy, but the boy is really cute. (In my opinion.) So enjoy, and review!
Edward Rising!
Tonight was a good night. I had just gotten back from hunting so I had a t least a day's worth of uninterrupted Bella time ahead of me. Nothing could ruin this night, or that's what I thought.
Currently I was sitting on the couch, waiting for Bella to pick a DVD from my family's extensive collection. I expected it to be something along the lines of the Notebook, so when she happily showed me the cover, I was shocked to say the least.
"Out of the 400 some odd DVD's we own, you chose Hannibal Rising?" I raised an eyebrow. The sight of blood made her queasy, and she wanted to watch a movie about a sadistic psychopath cannibal? I shook my head and gestured for her to proceed. As she popped the disc into place, I quickly turned off the lights. She hurriedly ran over to the couch and into my waiting arms.
I chuckled quietly, "Scared already, are we?" She didn't take her eyes away from the screen as she shushed me, but I felt her snuggle more into my chest. I laughed, shaking her and she lightly slapped my shoulder.
--Some time later—
I was enjoying myself immensely. Contrary to what Bella wanted me to believe, she was scared. Very much so. She was trying to hide it, but eventually it got to be too much and she let me pull her onto my lap. She looked at me and smiled sheepishly, and then she turned back to the screen. A few seconds later I saw her flick her eyes to look at me again, then she swiftly moved them back to the Hannibal Lector, who was currently carving an "M" into some man's chest. He really was a delightful man, I can see why Bella would want to watch this, I thought to myself, rolling my eyes. Once again, I caught Bella flick her eyes back and forth. I felt her tense up and slightly pull away from me. Puzzled, I looked at her.
"Bella, what's wrong?" She jumped when I spoke her name. I felt her heart speed up, but I had a feeling it wasn't because I was close to her.
"It's nothing," She whispered, her voice shaking. "It's just, umm, he looks like you. He looks like you a lot." Was she serious? I mean, yes, there were some slight likeness between me and this Gaspard Ulliel actor, but not enough to warrant this.
"I think that's probably enough for tonight." I said, using the remote to switch of the T.V.
"Yes," she agreed. "It was a bit boring anyway." I bit back a laugh as she snuggled against me again, soon falling asleep.
--Late that same night—
I was fixing the blanket I had laid over Bella and the couch after she had fallen asleep when she began to twitch and mumble. Soon she started to kick violently and thrash like she was being burned. Worried, I gently shook her awake. Her eyes fluttered open, and I smiled at her.
"Did you have a bad dream?" She opened her eyes wider, and I felt her heart speed up again, much like before. Then she threw the blanket off, and jumped up off the couch.
"Bella, what are you doing?"
"Don't eat me! Please, don't!" I stood up, walking towards her. This was the moment I had come to dread, next came the screaming and the running.
"What are you talking about?"
"You stay away from me, Hannibal Lector!" Then it hit me, she wasn't scared of me, she was still frightened from the movie. Her bad dream had been about him, and she hadn't realized she had woke up.
"Bella, it's me. Edward. I'm not going to eat you. It was just a movie." I stepped towards her again, and saw her relax.
She took a deep breath. "Sorry. I guess that movie did get to me a little." She laid her head against my chest, and I wrapped my arms around her. Then I heard footsteps behind me, I could tell it was Emmett.
"Jeez, Bella. No need to scream. Besides, I thought you wanted Edward to change you, why the sudden change of heart? Make up your mind already."
Isn't Emmett a dork? I was watching Hannibal Rising yesterday, and thought, "Hey, he sorta looks like what I think Edward would look like." So then came this random rambling. Hope you liked. Isn't it amazing, 3 updates in like 3 days!! Who's proud of me? Well, I'm going stop this A/N because I have to go babysit to get money to go see harry potter again. I swear I'm gonna marry that boy one day… or at least stalk him to the ends of the earth… wow, that was creepy. (I was talking about Daniel Radcliffe, btw. Not Rupert Grint.)
