Happy Valentines Day :D

Chapter XVIII

Dear diary,

So much has happen since the last time I wrote here. I wish I could write everything that happen, but I would probably waste so many pages on explaining everything. The most important thing now is that I'm alive and Edward is with me.

I couldn't bear to lose him. Losing my parents was enough, losing him would be too much. Emotions, such as lose, depression, sadness, effect witches very negatively, which leads to Dark Witch, even killing does.

Anyway! Edward made me go to the prom. I tried to tell him I don't want to go, but no, he just had to tickle me until I said yes. (Not fair) So yeah, I'm going to the prom. I got a dress that Anna bought by dragging me to a mall in Port Angeles this morning.

And now, I'm going to get ready.

-Mia

"I'm gonna cry." Anna spoke as she sat on the edge of Mia's bed in Forks, looking at her with small tears in her eyes.

"Not literally, right?" Mia asked and Anna nod. "Oh, God, aunt, I'm the one who should be crying in this killer heels." Mia said adjusting the strap around her right ankle. "How do I look?"

Mia turned towards the body mirror. She was dressed in gown that was black on sides of her body, while in the middle was in light caramel color. The dress was tighter around her wrist because of the black strap. The part above the strap covered the caramel color with black lace. The gown barely touched the ground and small glimpse of black heels could be seen.

Mia's hair was raised up into a perfect bun with few hair locks falling out in front of her face into curly waves. She had a thin eyeliners line on her eyelids and soft eye shadow. She even had a soft caramel lipstick on her pink lips.

"I feel…different." Mia said as she stared at herself.

"You look beautiful." Anna said as she walked next to her. "Ah, you have too much beauty."

"You are overreacting." Mia said. "I can't wait to take the makeup off my face." Mia said as she made her way towards the door.

"Wait, wait, wait." Anna exclaimed, jumping in front of Mia.

"Edward is waiting for me." Mia remained her. "Maybe Noah is even killing him with his stare."

"He's not." Anna said. "I'm going to announce you." Mia's eyes wide, while Anna winked at her and run out of her room where she opened the door.

"You can't be serious." Mia whispered.

Anna run down the stairs and Mia could hear how she's calling Edward and Noah to come to the stairs. Mia wanted to die right now, did she really had to walk down the stairs while everyone is watching her. She hates spotlight. Doesn't Anna know that?

"Mia, come down." Anna sang.

Mia took a deep breath before she made her way towards the stairs. Don't kill yourself with these killer heels. Mia repeated that sentence in her head more than once. Her heels clicked against the wooden stairs and she made step by step down, gripping the fence tightly as if she was holding on to her dear life.

I'm going to break my leg by the end of this evening! Mia commented annoyingly in her head. She looked towards Anna, who was smiling from ear to ear, and then there was Edward and Noah. Edward watched her like he was swept of his feet and Noah…well, Noah had a flat face.

"Here she is." Anna clapped as Mia stepped onto the last step of stairs. I survived.

"You're perfect." Edward suddenly said, making Noah give him straight blank face. That sounded cheesy. Mia thought with a smile. "I'll take care of her, Chief Forbes."

"I bet you will." Noah murmured under his breath, making Mia glare at him together with Anna. "You look beautiful." Noah said, ignoring their glares and pulling a smile.

"Thanks." Mia said and looked at Edward. "Okay, we'll go." Mia stepped down onto the ground and walked with Edward towards the door.

"Get some." Anna whispered in her ear and Mia flushed furiously. Why is she like this?

Mia glanced at Edward who had a grin on his face that he couldn't stop from appearing after her heard what Anna told her. Mia awkwardly walked outside with Edward, saying goodbye to Anna and Noah, she walked with Edward towards his car and he opened the door to passenger seat.

"Thank you." Mia said, picking up her dress and sitting inside.

Edward closes the door and then walked towards the other side. Mia looked out of the window, seeing Anna and Noah standing at porch. She waved at them and they waved. Edward turned on the car and then drove off. Prom, here I come.

Mia stared at the restaurant that looked like a house where the prom will be held. Edward stopped the car next the car near the entrance and went to open Mia's door. Mia went to sit down on the bench, using her feet as less as she could because of the killer heels. Edward went back into the car and drove off to find an empty parking place.

"Mia."

Mia turned her head over her shoulder only to see long black haired boy, Jacob, dressed in white dress shirt that was out of this black pants and green tie loosely around his neck.

"Jacob?" Mia spoke, surprised to see him here.

"Nice." Jacob complimented, gesturing down and up on her.

"Thanks." Mia said with a smile. "You don't look to bad yourself." Jacob chuckled before he walked to her and sat on the bench.

"My dad paid me to come talk to you." Jacob said. "Twenty bucks." Mia chuckled.

"Really? What about?"

"Just don't get mad, okay?" Jacob said before he continued. "He wants you to break up with your boyfriend. It's just, he said, quote, 'We'll be watching you'." Mia laughed, Jacob joining her.

"Wow, that's creepy." Mia said and Jacob chuckled. "Tell him thanks and that he is a very funny guy." Mia said. Who the hell does Billy think he is? "And to pay up."

"Okay." Jacob nod before they got up from the bench.

"Jacob." Edward spoke, suddenly coming and giving glare to Jacob. "I'll take it from here." Edward said, earning a glare from Edward.

"Guess I'll see you around, Mia." Jacob said.

"Yeah, see you." Mia nod.

Edward placed his hand around Mia's shoulders and made their way towards the entrance. Edward looked back at Jacob with clear glare in his golden eyes. Jacob glared at his back before he turned around and walked away into the woods.

"I leave you alone for two minutes, and the wolves descend." Edward said and Mia laughed. Wolves? Hah, that was a joke.

Mia and Edward made their way on the red carpet where all the prom couples were going. Each couple had to stop by the gate with 'Casino Monte-Carlo' writing above, and let a photographer take a picture of them. Jeez, a photographer too. Mia took a deep breath when it was their turn and Edward seemed to notice.

"Just smile." He whispered.

Mia did as he said and let the photographer take a picture with flash before they continued forward towards the house where the part was being held. They walked inside with a music going on and a disco ball on the celling.

People were dancing, enjoying themselves. Mia wasn't a type of a girl that loves going to parties and all that. She's more of a girl that would have fun with couple of close people and that would be a small, but fun party to her. But this is too much.

"Is this a way you would like to kill me?" Mia wondered.

"The prom is an important rite of passage. I don't want you to miss anything." Edward told me.

"Being able to cast my powers without getting tired would be a decent rite of passage to me." Mia said and Edward chuckled.

"Important human rite of passage." Edward corrected himself.

"Oh." Mia teased. "Now that makes sense."

They walked forwards into the crowd that was dancing and saw Mike and Jessica aside. Mike was giving thumbs up and Jessica was showing off her pink dress that she was trying in Port Angeles. Mia winked at her and gave her thumbs up.

They continued going, even bumping into Tayler who seemed to be dancing with everyone who would pass by him. Eric and Angela were the DJs off the place and waved towards her when they saw Mia and Edward. Mia waved back with a smile.

"Do you want to go?" Edward asked her and Mia nod.

"Yes."

Edward held her hand as they walked thought the entrance they arrived. There was a platform in their way that leads to red carpet they came from. The platform was lit with decorated small light lamps all over the celling. Only two couples danced slowly on the platform without even music. Mia turned to look at Edward as she felt him stopping.

"Shall we?" Edward asked.

"Oh, well, I guess I can trust a man who can dance at least tonight." Mia joked.

Mia placed her left hand on his shoulder and the other into his hand. They slowly started to dance, even without music which made Mia feel awkward. The two couples around them stopped dancing and walked away, leaving Mia and Edward all alone. Mia noticed bothering look on his face.

"You still can forgive yourself for not arriving in time." Mia said, but not like a question.

"If I arrived in time, you would have to be afraid of being close to darkness." Edward said.

"I'm not close to darkness." Mia said. "I don't feel it. At all." Mia smiled. "You know, you can save me from witch nature and change me." Edward's eyes slightly wide.

"You don't know what you're saying."

"I know what I'm saying, Edward. I know what I want." Mia said, truthfully.

"That's what you want? Become a monster." Edward calmly said.

"I want to be with you." Mia said. "Without being afraid something might happen to me that will end badly. Like killing again and become a corrupted witch."

"Don't say that."

"But it's true." Mia said. "I'm a fragile human, with a bit of magic and that's all. But that doesn't mean I can't die or become a Dark Witch."

"I don't want to end your life." Edward said.

"What if I said I want to be with you?" Mia questioned. "Forever."

"Forever?" Edward repeated, caressing her cheek and letting his palm on her cheek.

"Yes, Edward." Mia nod. "One day, I want you to change me. Without hesitation."

"One day."

Edward placed his forehead onto hers. Leaving it there for a few seconds before placing a gentle kiss on her warm lips. It was slow, slow enough for Edward to have control. They continued to dance, golden eyes watching icy blue eyes.

One day. Forever.

The End.
