Thank you :D
Chapter IX
The entire night, Mia lied on her bed, thinking about Edward and about deaths in this town. She sat up in her bed, pushing her hair back with her fingers. She looked down towards the drawer where the Book of Witch Magic was. I forgot I had you!
Maybe I'll find something inside the book. Mia got up from the bed and sat on the floor infront of her closet. She opened the drawer and took all the clothes of the book before the takes the old book out onto the floor. Mia touched the covers of the book before she opened it.
Mia didn't really know what this held inside. There were too many pages and Mia only knew where some spells were. She listed through the pages until a title big curved letters caught her eyes. She stopped and opened the pages wide.
Vampires. Mia looked through the words that wrote underneath the bold title. Immortal. Speed. Strength. Pale. Cold skin. Drink blood. Special abilities. Red or Gold eyes. Unnatural beauty. Mia closes the book and took a deep breath. So that is what you are…
Edward sat with his family at the table. His golden eyes looked up as he sensed her scent from across the room. She was dressed in black hoodie with a hood over her dark brown hair. Her eyes looked towards him, emotionless and calling.
Something was different about her. He could notice that about her right away. Instead of going towards the table where her friends were, she turned towards the exit of canteen. Her icy blue eyes looked briefly at him before she opened the door and walked out.
Mia walked behind the school. She had a perfect view of the forest up the small hill. She stood there. Waiting for him. Her eyes looked up towards the sky and soon a cold wind rose in the air. It didn't make her shiver. It was her power after all.
Edward's footsteps were heard from behind her. Of course he followed her. Her eyes somehow told him to follow him. Edward felt worried for Mia. She stood in the cold wind that suddenly out of nowhere rose in the air. Somehow, it felt unnatural.
"You should go inside." Edward said as he stood behind Mia. "It's cold."
"Not to you." Mia said as she looked over her shoulder at him.
The wind in the air suddenly disappeared. A confusion crossed Edward's face and Mia couldn't ignore how amused she was to see his confused face. A small smirk appeared on her face before she started to walk away towards the forest.
Edward stared at her back. This moment really confused him and made him interested to know what it was all about. There was this mysterious aura around her now, she was hiding something and she knew what he was; after all, he exposed some facts too much to her.
"Are you coming?" Mia asked as she looked back at him, who was standing still in the same spot.
Edward didn't answer. He started to walk towards her while she turned around. Edward followed her as she walked up the hill and soon they found themselves walking inside the forest. Neither one of them didn't speak up. Until Mia decided to speak, her voice showing no fear.
"So, a vampire, huh?" Nice way to break the ice, Mia. Edward immediately stopped in this tracks.
"You found out." Edward said, casually.
"Of course." Mia exclaimed. "It's not like you tried to hide it from me. I'm a witch after all."
Edward's eyes wide. His surprised and confused expressions are so amusing. Mia spoke inside her head as he continued staring at her. Edward did know that she was more then she show, but he never through she would be a witch.
"My name is Mia Charlotte Forbes." Mia started. "I'm a witch from Silva Clan in Lawson." Mia said, small smile playing on her lips.
Edward stared at her for a while. A witch. Volturi always said that witches are not to be trusted, but that's only because they refused to join them a few centuries ago. But Mia, even though she was a witch, Edward felt deep down inside him that he can trust her.
He immediately from the day he saw her, he couldn't read her mind at all, and the more he spend time with her, the more he started to realize that she was more then she shows to him and others. She was Mia, a witch from Silva Clan.
"What?" Mia asked, waiting for him to say something instead of just stare at her. "You are creeping me out." Mia said honestly with joking tone, making Edward crack a laugh.
"I'm sorry." Edward apologized. "I'm surprised."
"In a good way I hope." Mia said and Edward nod. "How old are you?" Mia blurted out. Just wondering.
"17." Edward answered.
"Chronological?"
"113." Edward answered.
"That's a lot." Mia commented in whisper. "Who turned you?" Mia wondered.
"Um, Carlisle." Edward answered.
"Why?"
"I was dying from Spanish influenza." Edward answered. "He would never turn someone who had another choice." Edward added.
"How does it feel? Being bitten?" Mia wondered as she started to walk and Edward walked besides her.
"The venom is excruciating." Edward answered. "But what Carlisle did was much harder. Not many of us have the restraint to do that."
"Right." Mia nod. "Because it's hard to stop."
"Yes." Edward answered to Mia's sentence that wasn't a question.
"You feed on animals, right?" Mia asked and Edward nod. "Is there a reason why you don't kill people?" Mia asked and Edward looked down at the ground.
"I don't want to be a monster." Edward answered. "My family, we think of ourselves as vegetarians, right, 'cause we only survive on the blood of animals. But it's like a human only living on tofu. It keeps you strong, but you're never fully satisfied."
"Oh…" Mia murmured. "I have a question." Mia spoke and Edward nod. "Why do you hate me?" Edward stopped in his track.
"I don't hate you." Edward answered.
"But you did."
"Only for making me want you so badly." Edward answered. "I still don't know is I can control myself." Edward stepped closer to her,…so close. "You're like my own personal brand of heroin."
"Didn't know I had that kind of an effect on you…" Mia murmured and looked down on her feet.
"For how long did you know what I am?" Edward asked and Mia looked back up at him.
"Since I first saw you." Mia answered. "I always suspected there was something different about you." Mia said.
"Now you know." Edward said. "Are you afraid?" Mia thought for a second.
"Afraid of you, no." Mia answered. "Afraid of losing you, yes." A ghost of a smile appeared on his lips.
"I don't want to hurt you." Edward said and Mia shakes her head lightly.
"You won't." Mia smiled before turning around to continue walking while Edward catches up with her.
Dear diary,
So, I told Edward that I know what he is. We talked about him and about vampires, we also talked about me and witches, though I didn't tell him a lot. It's in witch's blood to have this secretive aura around them and keep things from other. But what I'm keeping won't hurt him.
I'm not sure what I feel towards him. Every time when I see him, I feel this strange feeling in my tummy, making me smile even when I don't won't to smile. So yeah, I'm probably falling in love with him. Slowly.
-Mia
