CHAPTER 2

We had been in Greece for a week mainly coming out at night since it was the summer. Cliché I know but we didn't mind spending our days alone together locked in our hotel room.

One night out walking we happened across a celebration of some sort in this little town square. There was a band playing with lots of people dancing all around. I immediately drug Edward out into the square. I loved to dance now that I wasn't clumsy and always tripping over my own feet. It was something we did every chance we got and sometimes for no reason at all.

We danced and let ourselves get caught up in the festivities when the mood of the music changed. It was so slow and erotic that it was almost consuming. We let the change in the music wash over us and lost ourselves completely in it. It was hard to control ourselves.

It was a cool summer night with only a slight breeze. We were just getting ready to leave before we completely lost control when a gust of wind blew through the square and carried on it a scent that I would recognize anywhere. I turned to look upwind expecting to see Edward but he was still standing right beside me.

He had the most peculiar look on his face. He kept looking at me then across the square.

"Edward?"

"Bella?"

"Is there another vampire near us?" I said so low I knew no one else would hear but that I was sure he would. It was the only other explanation that I could think of. You see every one of us has their own unique scent. He got a funny look on his face.

"Not that I am aware of."

"Alright then where is that delicious smell coming from then."

"You" he said puzzled. "You're standing right beside me but I can also smell your scent coming from across the square."

"Me? No I can smell your scent coming from across the square." We both looked at each other completely confused by what was going on.

We looked across the square and all the people seemed to part and make a path from us to this gorgeous girl that was dancing.

Her beauty was comparable to Rosalie's yet somehow it was more pleasing to my eyes. I didn't feel the same pangs of jealousy that I did when I looked at Rosalie.

The way she was dancing was almost hypnotic. There weren't very many people in the square that weren't watching her also.

I looked over at Edward and he was watching her too but with a very troubled look on his face. I reached up and put my hand on his cheek and he looked over at me.

"My love what's wrong?"

"I can't hear her thoughts." He said looking back at the girl.

"Why is that so troubling?"

"It's only ever happened with one other person before."

"Me" I said before he had a chance to finish his sentence.

The music stopped and everyone started clapping. We turned to look back at her as she did a little curtsy and a bow. When she looked up her eyes locked on mine. A shy grin spread across her face when she saw that I was looking at her.

She turned to talk to the band then went and sat by herself at an outdoor café.

I tore my gaze away from her and turned to Edward.

"Edward?" He turned his attention back to me.

"Yes Bella?"

"This is all too strange. What do you think it means?"

"I don't know lets go talk to her and see if we can come up with something." I nodded in agreement and slipped my arm through his as we started to make our way across the square to where she was sitting.

As we got closer the scent only intensified.

She kept glancing at us out of the corner of her eye.

Had Edward not been with me and if we weren't surrounded by people I think I would have ran away from her as fast as I could. I had never had a humans blood call to me (as the Cullen's like to phrase it) before now. I looked at Edward and he seemed to understand the slight panic that I'm sure had entered my eyes.

"I know Bella she calls to me also. If it gets too much for either one of us to handle we will leave." His words gave me strength and helped me keep in control.

"Excuse me." Edward said as we reached her. When she turned her head her hair disturbed the air and the scent nearly overpowered us. I grabbed onto Edwards arm and I saw his jaw tighten.

"Yes?" She said sweetly looking between the two of us. I couldn't speak it was taking all my control to stay focused. Thank goodness Edward had more practice with this stuff otherwise she probably would have thought that we were crazy just standing their staring at her but not being able to speak.

"We saw you dancing from across the square and we wanted to come over and tell you how beautifully you dance." Her smile widened.

"Thank you very much!" The happiness that this brought her broke through the barriers that I had put up. It was infectious and I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"I saw you two dancing and You are absolutely stunning when you dance together." Her inflection did not go unnoticed. Her emotions changed so rapidly that it caught me off guard. It changed from happiness to pain and sadness. My face fell as the emotions overtook me. She must have seen the change in my face.

She reached her hand out and laid it ever so gently on my forearm.

"I'm sorry did that upset you?" She asked me kindly.

The warmth of her hand on my arm was wonderful. It was something that I hadn't felt in years. At that moment I realized how much of a struggle it must have been for Edward when I was human. I looked over at him with a whole new understanding and even more love, if that was possible.

I thought that she would pull her hand away from the coldness of my skin that I knew she could feel. To my surprise she kept her hand there. I turned my gaze back to her from Edwards's beautiful face. She had no fear in her eyes like I expected there to be just concern.

"I apologize for my reaction it wasn't because of you." I told her.

That same shy smile crept back across her face. "Good" she said

She removed her hand from my arm but the warmth that it left behind seemed to linger. It soon faded and I wanted nothing more than for her to touch me again.

We were interrupted by this little old man who approached her talking in Greek. She answered him back in Greek which surprised me a little because her English was so good I was positive she was American. He made a little bow and extended his hand toward her. She took it and rose from her chair.

"Excuse me a moment. Please don't go." She said as the man led her out into the square.

I heard Edward chuckle.

"What's so funny?"

"The old man can't believe his luck to be able to dance with such a young, beautiful woman."

I opened up a little and felt the joy that the simple act of her dancing with him gave the old man. I laughed.

"That was very sweet of her. It means so much to him."

"I know" Edward replied with a smile. I knew he had been listening to the man's thoughts.

We stood in silence watching her talk to the man as they danced and his face would light up every time she would look at him. It was such a touching scene.

"Any theories yet on what all this means Edward?"

"I'm not sure yet Bella."

Edwards's phone rang.

A/N: OOOOOOOO Who could it be on the phone? HA HA HA. I hope you guys liked it. REVIEW PLEASE and make my day.
