A/N~ Hey guys! I just want to say thanks for the four amazing reviews I was given for chapter four! For some reason you can't see the two I got from Guest users, but I got them in my email so I was happy all the same. I can't express how I feel about the nice things you guys said! I will also try not to keep you waiting, Twilight Forever. I'm also very thankful for the favorites and follows on my story. Thank you so much! XOXO 3
I decided I would probably try to upload every other day, but school starts for me very soon and I also do competitive dance, so between that and my novel, I may not be able to every other day. But for you guys, I will try.
Enjoy your chapter! ; )
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN IT.
Icy Mist Chapter 5
"Well, they seem like nice humans," Edward said, using just a bit of sarcasm, his arms still wrapped around me. They are really nice, just the fact that they are absorbed in Edward and I that they seemed very spoiled. I mean, everyone can have a dream crush, but to think that they might get their dream crush was extremely wishful thinking. And with Edward and I's bond, impossible.
"I hope you think so, because we are going to be spending a lot of time with them!" Alice said, very excited. I guess this was why she was so pumped before they even got here. She clapped her hands, jumping up and down, and said, "Let's look at the house!" with her eyes sparkling.
I stepped out of Edward's embrace but quickly grabbed his hand, pulling him along with the rest of his family, towards the mansion. Alice linked arms with Jasper, and they started walking too. When we all had stepped on the concrete of the porch, Rose opened the door, and we all gasped. The flooring was beautiful white milky marble, and the walls were made out of beige bricks, blending perfectly with the windows. There was a huge bay window I could see in the living room, decorated with white and beige pillows. The sofa was large and colored a dark brown, along with the tables and chairs around the room. The color scheme was truly beautiful.
Every time we will move, we get new furniture for the house, so when we go back to our old house, we don't have to have movers bring a whole bunch of junk inside, and it's exactly the way we found it when we left. That's why, when the Cullens moved away from Forks (shudder), the furniture in their house was still there.
"Oh, Esme, it's beautiful," Rose gasped, and I nodded furiously. I could hear Ness breathing upstairs, her heart fluttering, and I knew she felt comfortable here, too.
Esme laughed, her chimes echoing across the room. "I hoped you would like it. It took me long enough to decorate," she said, and Carlisle wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"I love it," he whispered in Esme's ear.
I turned my head to look at Edward, giving them as much privacy as they could get in a house full of vampires. "Let's go see our room," Edward said, his eyes full of love.
"Okay," I whispered leaning on his chest. My husband pulled me up the sparkling stairs, vampire speed, and into our room, shutting the door behind us. The only things I had noticed in my short time upstairs was that Renesmee's room was across the hallway from ours, with Rose and Em and Jazz and Alice separating them. I was okay with not being next to her, but she might not be. I would talk to her later.
Carlisle and Esme were on the third floor all by themselves, along with Carlisle's office and the movie room. I was okay with them having a floor all to themselves. They deserved it. I heard a door open and close quickly next to us, with the sound of water running. I laughed wind chimes. Rose's voice said, "Shut up, Bella." I bit my lip to cover my laughter, because when Rose got angry, it wasn't a sight to see.
Plus, I'm sure no one else would be doing much else tonight. It was already nine o'clock at night, and the Suka's had come at eight thirty. It was strange that they had come so late, for humans at least, but I didn't think much of it.
"Bella," Edward whispered into my ear, wrapping his arms around me. He rested his head on my shoulder, kissing under my ear. With one fast movement, he had me turned to face him.
Edward leaned forward slowly, capturing my lips with his. I didn't even get time to look around our room before I was dragged to the floor. He parted his lips, and I tasted his sweet venom. Soon he let go, kissing down my jawline, down my neck. I tangled my hands in his hair, bringing his face back to mine. I looked into his golden eyes, now darkening with desire.
"I love you," I whispered against his lips.
"As I love you," he said back, and I heard Emmett whistle. Jasper hissed, thinking it was directed at him, but then he thought about it and didn't do anything else.
I rolled my eyes. But then I couldn't focus on anyone else than Edward, or anything else then Edward. My Edward.
I closed my eyes, savoring the moment. My need for him would never be satisfied, but I would take what I could get.
~6 o'clock am~
I scrubbed my head furiously. I wanted my hair to smell like strawberries, the way it had always been when I was human, but I could hardly get that scent. If I had put real strawberries in my hair, I swear my body would find some way to revert it back into my normal scent.
However much I missed my strawberry hair, though, I couldn't deny how I smelled amazing like a vampire. Jake didn't seem to think so, but we had gotten used to it. Best friends had to be accepting no matter what state the other person was in.
The hot water (hot to me) streaming across my back felt amazing. I so rarely got to feel heat, so when I did, it was like a fresh dose of medicine. I'm sure Edward missed my heat, but I'm also sure that Edward did not miss my fragileness. Well, there are pros and cons to every situation.
When I finished my shower, I stepped out and wrapped my towel around me. My hair (surprise!) did not smell like strawberries. I guess I would have to get used to it, but it would be a hard adjustment. I combed out my wet hair, and went into the closet. Edward was there, lacing up his shoes.
"You look darling today," I said, eyeing him. He had on a white V-neck button up shirt with maroon shorts. I loved seeing white on him, because it made his pale skin seem very muscular and tanner.
"As do you," Edward said, looking at my bare body. If I could have blushed, I would have. I quickly dressed in jean shorts and a purple flowy spaghetti strap shirt to please Alice. I grabbed Edward's hand, and walked out of our room, quickly assessing it.
Our bed was newly made with perfection that only Edward could bring, and it was much of the same that Isle Esme had. Our flooring was beige carpet, to match the walls. We had our own bathroom, as did everyone else, and there was a door from that that entered our closet. It was about half the size of our room, which was acceptable, and I could smell that the clothes in our closet were brand new. I couldn't help but look for that one red dress that Alice and I had bought six months ago earlier, and I felt more relaxed when I had found it.
We had a large desk in the corner to hold anything we wanted, and a jewelry box for me. It was that dark brown color, along with the desk. Seriously, Esme's color scheme was insanely gorgeous.
As I walked into the hallway with Edward, I made sure Renesmee was asleep and happily she was. Alice and Jasper were already downstairs, but Rosalie and Em, along with Carlisle and Esme (I was surprised at the latter; they were usually the first ones up) were nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, guys," I said, walking over to Alice and Jasper in the kitchen. They were bent over something on the granite counter top, and when I went to look at what it was, I was shocked. It was a drawing of Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Carlisle, Esme, and I. We were all so pale in the drawing, we almost looked ghostly. It was gorgeous. It wasn't finished yet, I could tell, but it looked great anyway. Renesmee wasn't in it, but I could tell that was because it was just supposed to be just the vampires.
"Guys, that's beautiful. It deserves to be in a museum!" I gasped.
Alice shook her head, wide eyed. Jasper was still hunched over, his hand moving freely with a colored pencil. "It's not even done yet. I assure you, it will be much better," Alice said, winking. "I haven't done anyone justice yet." And with that Alice took a colored pencil, and bent over, coloring the page yet again.
Edward and I left them to be, and went over to the living room to watch a movie. Edward had let me pick, but had groaned when I chose Romeo and Juliet. "It's a wonderful classic, and you should enjoy it," I said, and he had just shook his head. But he could hardly deny when I pulled him over to the sofa, wrapping myself in his arms. He snuggled into my non-strawberry-smelling hair, breathing in my scent.
Although I could no longer produce tears, I still would cry every time Romeo and Juliet died. Edward thought this was ridiculous. It was hardly worth the effort of crying, he would say. Of course, crying was an extreme effort for vampires. It made us tired, which was almost impossible.
When the movie was over, I tried to stand up, but Edward kept me locked in his embrace, kissing down my neck. My breathing stuttered, even though I didn't need the air.
Just then Carlisle and Esme came down the stairs, both newly showered and ready for the day. They saw me in Edward's arms, and smiled. I knew they were so happy to see Edward and I together, speaking that he had waited a hundred years to find me, but it was still kind of awkward to let them see Edward and I so comfortable. Edward didn't mind, as much as I could tell, but that didn't help my situation very much.
It was in June, so we didn't have school. I didn't know what we would be doing today, until Alice huffed and said, "My sight just went black. Those stupid mutts are coming, I'm sure."
I was surprised at that. I'm sure Charlie could have held Jake back some more, but maybe he had given up. I mean, it was the second day we've been here.
"When are they getting here?" I asked, trying not to act like I had much interest. Edward laughed at that, and I punched his arm in return.
"In one hour and thirty-three minutes. Then my vision comes back around three hours and twenty-seven minutes later, so they shouldn't be here that long," Alice said, sighing in relief.
"Also, Nessie will wake up in three, two, one," Alice said, turning back to Jasper and her's drawing. I hoped they were finishing up, because I wanted to see the end result.
I heard the pitter-patter of Renesmee's foot falls and the sound of her door creaking open. She ran down the stairs, her wild curls bouncing when she came into view.
"Hello, mommy," she said. "Can we go hunting today? I am very thirsty," Renesmee said, frowning and grabbing her throat.
"Okay. I'll take you, I'm getting a bit thirsty myself," I answered.
Jasper looked up from his drawing and said, "Can I tag along?"
Rose's muffled voice said, "Me too?"
"Obviously, yes," I said.
And with that my family and I went out to embark in a new journey (or hunting trip).
So there was chapter 5 for you! Could you drop into my reviews and tell me what you thought? I love you guys for allowing this to happen.
Peace,
The Nightly Stars
