I do not own twilight or any of its characters, Stephenie Meyer does. (Still not complaining.)
CHAPTER 5
Edward's PoV
Something about this man seemed familiar, but I couldn't figure out why. I was sure that I had never met him before. He continued to talk to Emmett, Bella staring on, a look of awe poised on her beautiful face.
I quietly slipped outside; Bella would be safe with Emmett, and walked toward my Volvo. I needed to get away from here, something didn't feel right…
The small blue Acura was now parked near the end of the driveway; an incredibly gorgeous girl was watching me through the windshield, a diabolical look in her green eyes.
I remembered Alice's vision, and quickly climbed into my car. I defiantly needed to get a way from here, at least until these strange visitors left.
Mystery Girl's PoV
Who was that guy? He was perfect, handsome, and angelic. I just had to have him. I would have him.
He was headed for a sliver Volvo. When he spotted our car sitting at the end of his driveway he paused. He met my gaze for a fraction of a seconded before quickly turning around, and climbing into his car.
I forlornly watched his car drive out of sight, the rain gracefully sliding off its windows.
I sat there in the empty car; the only sound was rain, pounding down on me. After about ten minutes dad came back out of the house, he seemed flustered.
He said nothing just drove off toward our new home.
Bella's PoV
Emmett shifted nervously, eyes lingering on the charred rocket resting in the man's hands.
" I think your mistaken, sir." The man stiffened.
" I think not, someone must have accidentally set it off."
" Maybe…" Emmett was extremely uncomfortable. I chose this moment to interrupt.
" Sir, are you new to forks, I don't think I've seen you around here before."
" Actually yes, my daughter and I just moved her form New York."
" Well, welcome to Forks then."
" Thank you, I guess I'll be going now." He turned around, and walked straight out the door. I looked around realizing that Edward was nowhere in sight.
" Emmett, where did Edward go?"
" I'm not sure, but his cars gone." Great now I didn't have a ride home. I walked up to Edward's room. When I walked into his room I saw a book lying on his desk. I picked it up.
Pride and Prejudice. I rolled my eyes; he even left my favorite book lying on his desk. He knew me all to well. I sat down, and began to read.
/…/…/
The room around me grew darker with each passing moment; I had been sitting here for quite some time now. Where was Edward?
I heard a gentle knocking on the door. " Come in." Alice stepped through the door carrying a tray.
" I thought I would bring you something to eat." On the tray sat a turkey sandwich and a bag of pretzels.
A slight smile touched my lips. " Thank you." She walked over to the stereo and turned it on. A familiar tune came on. (Sorry this song has been stuck in my head all morning)
Poppa was a copper and'a momma was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin'on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way saying baby what you gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
She's a lover, baby and a fighter
Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death
I picked up the sandwich taking a large bite, savoring the flavor of this perfectly prepared food. Alice was looking curiously at me.
" I'm sorry about Edward, but I'm sure he'll be back soon." I nodded in agreement. " I can give you a ride home if you want one."
" That would be great." She got up, and walked through the open doorway.
She climbed into Rosalie's BMW. After a slight pause I climbed in too. I had a feeling that Rosalie was going to freak when she found out that I had rode in her car.
When I got home I took a quick shower. I went downstairs to watch TV. I was flipping through the channels when I heard someone rapping on the front door.
When I opened it I saw Edward's tall silhouette in the darkness. He walked toward me, and wrapped his hands around my waist.
" I'm sorry I left." As an answer I looked up and kissed him, and of course he kissed me back.
" Are you going to tell me where you went?"
" Eventually." He murmured nuzzling my neck. I sighed. " What?" he paused looking concerned.
" Why so many secrets Edward?" for a moment I thought I saw a glimmer of guilt reflecting in his eyes…
AN: so there, another chapter. Reviews make the updates come quicker. Have you noticed that all my chapters seem to be the same length, somewhere around 1000 words, which is actually quite short. Sorry, I'm babbling.
If you were wondering the song was the Red Hot Chili Pepper's Dani California.
YOU BETTER REVIEW:)
