Okay, I have been told of a lot of typos and such and I know I'm very sorry if it's bugging any of you but I'm trying to get all the ones from when I was basically falling asleep at the keyboard fixed. As for grammar wise things when characters are talking I do not have to use correct grammar for characters because how often do people say perfect sentences? Come on…anyways, I wanted to say some things last night at the end of chapter six, but eh…I had to go like right after I put the chapter up and I wanted to get it up . So to let you know, I will be putting a little about the next chapter to come like its title and maybe a lil snippet who knows. Hm I wonder how Mira is doing with her race! She's pretty fast but Josh….hmm well let us see what is going on eh?

Halflings?

Chapter Seven: Edward

Mira blinked as he passed her with ease, this only causing her to speed up even more. He laughed somewhere deep within his throat. "You're not going to catch up only matching my speed. You must be quicker than that." He sped up again.

"You will not beat me Josh, I'm one of the fastest runners you will ever meet." she grinned as she passed him.

"I highly doubt that." he sped up slightly. She has to stop sometime…everyone has a breaking point…I have to be careful though…if I have to continue to speed up….he let his thoughts trail off as once again he increased his speed, his longish dark brown hair blowing behind him was making for a rather nice image. Mira however, was NOT going to get distracted this time. She forced herself to go faster, feeling as if she were going to reach her limits now. The two looked like gazelles running ever so gracefully, yet some of the students took pleasure in knowing that if they took just one stumble, they would fall flat on their faces.

"I won't let you win." she muttered stubbornly beneath her breath, speaking more to herself than to Josh. Mira felt something inside her snap, giving her a burst of energy and allowing her to run at slightly over humanly possible. Josh blinked and cut back on his speed eventually stopping.

"YOU CAN STOP NOW! WE HIT THE MARKER!" He called after her in disbelief. THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE! The thought roared in his head. NO HUMAN CAN RUN THAT FAST!!! It seemed though, that Mira could not stop and soon stumbled, rolling onto the grass in a position that didn't look very comfortable. He hurried over to her and helped her up. "Are you okay? That was some pretty impressive running, too bad it kicked in afterwards. Unfortunately, we hit the marker at the same time."

She held her head as she got up. "God…my brain feels like it just exploded or something…we…who won?"

He chuckled. "I do believe it was a tie my friend. Although if you had sped up a little sooner, I think you would have won. Did you hit your head?"

"No…" Mira didn't shake her head simply for the fact that she was seeing double at the moment and her head was swimming as if she had just spun in circles for an hour. "I feel like I'm going to be sick though…"

"Hm. Perhaps we should get you to the doctor…" he pulled her arm around his neck and pulled her weight against him to support her.

Immediately she tried to pull away, just from reflex. "I don't wanna see a doctor." she whined.

Josh chuckled and picked her up. "If your head hurts after that fall I think you should see a doctor. I don't think I'll just let you get away with something like that. You sound like a pathetic little kid like that by the way. Honestly, you should quit that whining it is disgraceful."

"I do not whine." Mira mumbled bitterly fighting to get down. "Look I don't need to see a doctor just lemme go!"

He grasped her legs firmly in one arm so she could not get away. "Don't tell me you're afraid of the doctor." he chuckled.

"Of course not, but a deal is a deal. It was a tie so we both lost, you have to tell me HOW Edward is dangerous to me." Mira glared at him stopping her childish kicking and fighting as all of it was giving her a headache.

He broke out into a mischievous grin of which made Mira immediately suspicious. "Alright then, as you say, a deal is a deal. But perhaps we should attend to such matters in a different place? More of a private spot if you will, of course that is unless you WANT the whole school to know about Edward Cullen's little secret."

She sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Whatever just spill on the way to the nurse."

"The nurse?"

"I'm starting to feel like I'm going to throw up my lunch…" Mira closed her eyes and put her head against his chest trying to get the nausea to go away.

He chuckled once more and a strange look came into his eyes. They had changed from bright and grayish blue to dark and deep, deep brown. Yet, Mira did not notice this change; she simply noticed how when he was holding her, the embrace turned from comforting to quite needy. She wanted to give him a questioning look, but wondered if she would throw up everywhere. Mira gave a groan of discomfort and pain from Josh's strong arms as one single word crossed her mind. Edward…

"Edward? Edward? Edward answer me." Alice grumbled angrily waving a hand in front of his face. "Could you stop day dreaming already?"

Edward sighed and looked at Alice who was in his front seat; they had decided to ditch class. "Yes Alice?"

"You're supposed to pay attention when I talk to you…especially when it is about something important." she frowned turning the classical music off. "That music isn't good for concentration you know. It's just distracting."

"So…you were saying something…about what again?" Edward asked with an apologetic look on his face.

"Look…I know you like Mira and everything but…you just can't hang around her…it's dangerous for everyone. Especially her, you would just do her a favor by not talking to her." Alice said with a sigh looking at the dash board.

"Then why did you force me to meet her in the first place?" he said with a slight glare directed towards her.

"I did not force you to do it. If anything I was trying to prevent it from happening. After all I did…" she was cut off by Edward's reply.

"Yes, yes I know, you warned me…" he sighed and looked out of the windshield wondering how he got himself into horrid situations such as this.

"Edward I would be all for it…but there's things you don't know about that girl…she's not meant to be with vampires Edward. Neither is she meant to be with humans. Mira doesn't belong anywhere, no matter how much we would like her to…"

"No one deserves to be alone…" he said coldly, his voice filled with sorrow. Just then, he lifted his head up and tilted it, slightly confused. "We?"

She smiled. "Yes we, I know when I like people Edward. But honestly…if you had to stay away from her…I know Mira would understand. She's used to being alone. Look just please think about it? I'm not so sure how Carlisle would react if you brought her home…although you know we all will support any decision you make. And if you decide that you would not like to be alone any longer…then I am happy for you."

"It's not fair to know so much about someone and keep certain things about them from your family. Important things that could change how we live or how our lives are…"

"Change is not always a bad thing Edward…"

"I know…" he said with a soft and knowing smile.

"Then perhaps…?" she barely had to wait a second before Edward picked up where she had left off.

He smiled and sat up. "Then perhaps it is time for a change." Edward nodded and sat up straight, apparently no longer in his dark and sulking mood. All of a sudden however, after this epiphany, from somewhere in the vast reaches of Edward's mind he could hear a distinct voice calling out to him. Edward…
