Chapter XII

Dear diary,

Yes, I met Edward's family and yes, I'm in love with him. It's so strange how I end up in this little cloudy town Forks. Never thought I'll meet a handsome vampire like Edward. I still remember the page I wrote when I just arrived to Forks; can't wait to go back to Lawton. But now, I wish I never leave, not without him.

I'm using my powers, too. Slowly and carefully (not always). I showed Edward my powers, probably more then I could handle. And I became lightheaded (way to go Mia, nice way impressing the guy you love). He carried me to his house and then he drove me home. I felt like the happiest girl in the world.

-Mia

Mia closes her diary and smiled. She walked out of her room, dressed casually for sleep in black shorts and light pink tank top. She doesn't love pink color, atleast not the intense one. But who the hell is watching her when she sleeps? Absolutely no one.

Uncle Noah and Aunt Anna went on a dinner together. They both decided to go to a nice restaurant in Seattle and have their time together. They called Mia too, but she just decided to stay home and let them have alone time together.

She went downstairs to the kitchen. The entire first floor was covered in darkness, but it didn't scare her. She turned on the light in the kitchen and went to take an apple from the fridge. She turned around and in surprise she gasped as she saw who was standing on the doorway.

"Edward!" Mia exclaimed. "What are you trying to do? Scare the light out of me." Edward chuckled.

"I didn't mean scare you." Edward said with apologizing tone in his voice. Well, you did!

"It's okay…" Mia murmured, ignoring what she thought. "But you should announce yourself before breaking into my house—" Mia narrowed her eyes at him. "How did you get in?"

"Through the window in your bedroom." Edward answered while Mia walked to the table and sat down on a chair with one leg under her.

"You don't sound like is your first time." Mia murmured.

"No, it's not." Edward honestly answered.

"You are a creepy boyfriend." Mia joked, laughed at the end with Edward joining her.

Eventually, Edward sat down on a chair opposite from her and watched her as she ate her apple. She felt slightly uncomfortable as he watched her eat. I don't like when people stare at me while I eat. Mia commented inside her head.

Mia noticed how Edward's stare became intense and the proof that he was trying to read her mind was the light burning in her head. Of course she knew by now Edward would try read her mind from time to time, thinking that one day he will be able to access it, but the Mental Block she had inside her head will never leave.

"Stop trying to read my mind." Mia said straightly, making Edward narrow his eyebrows in confusion

"How do you know I'm trying to read your mind?" Edward wondered.

"Because my head hurts everything you are trying to get inside." Mia confessed and an apologetic look crossed his eyes.

"I'm sorry." Edward apologized and Mia lightly smiled

"It's okay." Mia said gently.

"Are there many witches?" Edward asked out of sudden and Mia glanced at him, chowing on a piece of apple inside her mouth before gulping it down her throat.

"No, not for a long time." Mia answered. "There used to be ten clans, but now there are only two. Divus and Silva, the clan I belong to." Mia said.

"Are there any bad witches?" Edward asked and Mia shakes her head.

"None that I know of." She answered, biting the apple, chowing on it and gulping it. "The bad witches are called Dark Witches. Breaking witch law drags you one step to darkness. The head of witches, my grandmother, she has an ability to do whatever she wants without being dragged to darkness because of ancestors powers that keeps her always on the side she was raised on. The light side." Mia explained.

"What did you mean when you said you didn't use your powers for a long time?" Edward asked, catching her off guard by his question.

"Eh…" Mia stuttered. "My parents died and I was depressed…" Mia shakes her head. "I don't really want to talk about it."

"I understand." Edward nod.

Edward watched Mia as she ate the rest of the apple. When she was done, she rose from the chair and throws the middle of the apple into the garbage. She washed her hands and dried them in the kitchen towel. She turned around to see Edward still sitting in his chair, watching her with a small smile.

"What?" Mia questioned.

"You are kind of a fascinating to me." Edward confessed and Mia chuckled.

"I'm glad I fascinate you, Mr. Cullen." Mia said before making her way out of kitchen.

As she passed by him, Edward grabbed her by her wrist lightly. Mia stopped in her tracks and look at him as he got up from the chair, watching her as he did. His cold touch slightly sends shivers down her back, but Mia didn't mind.

"I always wanted to try one thing." Edward said and Mia froze when he started to lean in. "Just stay very still."

Edward slowly leaned it. Inside her head, Mia wanted to grab him and press her lips against his, but she decided to stay frozen in her place and let Edward kiss her. He might lose control if Mia forces a kiss and she doesn't want him to feel guilty if he hurts her.

She could feel his cold breath hitting her lips. Closer and closer. His cold lips pressed against her warm ones. Mia would lie if she said she didn't enjoy the shivers his cold lips gave her. Her arms moved from her sides and went to Edward's cheeks.

Mia lost herself in the kiss, she pressed her lips harder against his. Edward kissed back, pulling away slightly to look at her in her eyes with hunger, before pushing her into the wall behind her. The kiss heated up so much, too much for Edward.

He craved her blood, he craved sinking his teeth into her soft and pale skin. But feelings he had for her were stronger than his craving for her blood. He could never forgive himself if he harms her, he couldn't bear to live without her.

"Stop!" Edward snapped, jumping from her, hitting his back against the wall between table and the wall on his right side.

"I'm sorry." Mia said, feeling guitly for pulling him too much into the kiss.

"I'm stronger then I thought." Edward said, looking away from Mia. "I can't ever lose control with you."

"You won't." Mia said, stepping close to Edward. "Don't go." Mia added, as she takes his hand lightly. "Stay with me."

Edward stared at her, she lightly smiled to him, and assuring him everything is going to be fine. Mia pulled him lightly with her, she lead him up the stairs to her room. They sat on her bed for the rest of the night, talking and eventually Mia fell asleep.

Edward lied next to her on the bed while she slept. Watching her peaceful face. He admired her beauty, so peaceful and kind. He went to touch her face, but immediately as his cold touch touched her cheek, Mia shifted, her head ending on his chest.
