Cold Ones and Wolves
Chapter Two: Fallen Angel
I don't own Twilight or New Moon!
Isabella Swan, September 30, 1885
I was still in daze from the angel that is Edward. I stood there staring at him. He probably thought that I was dim-witted just staring at him like I had no mind or manners. He just stared into my eyes making it had for me to do anything, breathe, think, and even move. His golden eyes trapped me in a world that I never what to leave, despite the fact that I couldn't look away. His golden eyes danced with mystery teasing me to guess that he was thinking, but also with question and curiosity.
"Bella?" He voice was like an angel laughing as beautiful and peaceful.
"Yes," I whispered, still under his power.
"Are you all right?"
"Yes, how is Emma doing?" I asked somehow pulled my eyes from the angel to Emma.
"I'm well," she smiled. I smiled at this. I don't know what I would do without Emma. Then a horrible cough came out of her. My smile quickly dropped.
"She is very sick," said Dr. Cullen still looking at Emma, "she should stay in bed. Edward could you please take Ms. Swan out, I don't want her to get sick too."
"Of course," said Edward turning to me flashing me another smile, "Bella." He held out his arm for me to take. My heart was going wild and my checks flushed.
I took his arm. I could feel the hardness of his muscles making my blush crawl to my ears. "Thank you, Edward." He walked out of the room and down the hall.
"My pleasure," he flashed me another smile catching my breath. He is too beautiful to belong on earth. He was a fallen angel gracing earth with his presence.
"There you are Isabella, I have been looking all over for you, and, who is this?" I looked away from Edward to see Miss. White staring at Edward with awe. Miss. White was beautiful, the perfect women, her honey ringlets in a bun and her hazel eyes on Edward. She was not much older then me, she was nineteen.
"I'm Edward Cullen," Edward let go of my arm and bowed. He got up and smiled little.
"Well, what a gentleman you are Edward," Miss. White smiled batting her eyelashes at him. "Isabella, we have to be going, remember you have to get your dress for the masquerade ball." She turned and looked at me but her eyes flashed to Edward then back to me. "Edward would you like to join us?" Smiling the smile that no man could resist at him when she said that.
"No, I do believe my father would want my help. It was nice meeting you…"
"Felicity White," smiled Miss. White.
"Miss. White and It was a pleasure meeting you Bella," he bowed again and kissed my hand. His hand and lips were cold and it sent a shock through me. He got up and smiled then turned gracefully back down the hall. Both Miss. White and I stood there dazed.
"Well, we must be going, Isabella," she said turning and I followed, but all I wanted to do was go back to Edward. We were outside where our carriage.
"Mr. Jacob," said Miss. White.
"Yes," said a husky but kind voice. Mr. Jacob walked around the carriage smiling. He is tall and his skin a natural tan. "How are we today Miss. White and Isabella?" His eyes flashed to me grinning from ear to ear.
"Fine, Mr. Jacob," said Miss. White. He quickly opened the door to the carriage taking Miss. White's hand helping her up. The gently he took mine, his hand was so warm. I skipped a little and Jacob's other hand was on my back. I blushed at the bold move. I got in and my mind thought back to Edward. He was so wonderful, I just met him today but I felt like I knew him for forever.
Miss. White was talking about how my mother was out of town and other gossip. I rolled my eyes. Who are we to talk about others like that, they are nice people but if they do one thing wrong everyone knows about it.
"I heard that a Michael was going to be at the ball, he is a very nice gentleman with a good family name," said Miss. White.
"Really, how nice," I said not really meaning it.
"I wonder if the Cullen's are going to be going to the ball?" she said with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"I don't know." I did hope that Edward would be going, I though how nice Edward would look in a white tie and black tails. I felt myself blush. Miss. White had the most beautiful dress made for me, the some blue that looks good with my pale skin and blush and a nice mask and gloves. We made it back to the house and Jacob smiled at me before I went inside the house. He was quite beautiful but not as beautiful and angelic as Edward. I walked into the house to see Dr. Cullen and Edward.
"Oh," I gasped.
"Hello again Miss. Swan," Dr. Cullen said smiling warmly.
"Hello," I said.
"Edward will you be attending the masquerade ball?" asked Miss. White smiling sweetly at Edward. But he was not looking at her, he was looking at me.
"Yes, I am," he said smiling then looked at Miss. White then back to me.
"Well, we have to be going, good bye Miss. Swan and Miss…" said Dr. Cullen.
"White, Felicity White," she said smiling. Dr. Cullen smiled.
"Good night Miss. White…" started Edward.
"Please call me Felicity," smiling at him and batting her eyelashes at him.
"Felicity," he smiled then looked at me, "Good night, Bella," he said and smiled a cock smile. My heart was pounding.
"Isabella, I think you should go a eat dinner," said Miss. White smiling. I smiled and started walking to the dinning room.
"Bella," said Edward. I turned but of course I trip. I felt cold arms around my waist, stopping my fall and stood me up again. I turned to see Edward there. "She likes to be called Bella." I felt myself blush.
"Thank you," I whispered, "Well, good night Dr. Cullen, Edward." I started walking again to the dinning room.
Soon Miss. White walked in later, she looked a little mad, and she glared at me. I ate fasted and went to my room and changed into my nightgown and flopped down on you bed in unladylike manner. I closed my eyes to see Edwards face was perfectly. He really was a fallen angel.
Sleep came and so did my dream.
I was in a forest, running to a place I didn't know where. It was dark. All I could see by was the stars and the moon. I ran in to a meadow and stopped. I saw Edward there talking with someone on the in the forest with his back turned to me. I opened my mouth but no words come out. I felt arms wrap around me pulling me away. I struggled against them. Edward quickly turned and looked at me. His eyes widen then they turned black. In a flash I was pulled away from the arms and into him cold arms. He held my close and growled at the thing that was in the forest. I tried to turn my head to look and see what but Edward pulled my closer to him. I felt myself being picked up and then we were flying through the forest. No Edward was running. Then he stopped and put me down. He gently stroked my check.
"Please be safe, Bella, my love," he whispered with his honey voice. His eyes looked so sad like an everlasting sadness. It was sinful to make such an angelic being so sad. "Please," he begged then he was gone. Then my dream changed, but his words still haunted me.
