CHAPTER 3

"Hello Alice" Edward said as soon as he opened the phone. I smiled she must have seen us meeting this girl.

"What's she like?" Alice asked.

"Why don't you tell me." Was Edwards reply.

"I don't know that's one of the reasons why I'm calling. I saw you guys meet her but I can't get anything past that. It's quite frustrating."

"Now you know how the rest of us feel."

I laughed remembering how I had once said that to him when he said it was frustrating not being able to hear my thoughts.

"Hmmmm……" Edward paused, thinking. "You can't see her and I can't hear her thoughts."

I heard Alice gasp. "But that's only ever happened"

"I know" Edward cut her off not letting her finish. We already knew the only other time was with me.

"Let me talk to Bella." I held my hand out for the phone already having heard her.

"Alice" I said into the phone.

"Bella can you feel her emotions?" came her clear sweet voice, it made me miss her.

"Yes. They actually broke through the barriers that I had put up."

"Strange"

"I know and that has never happened before. Another strange thing about her is to me she smells like Edward and to Edward she smells like me." Nothing but silence came from the line.

"Alice?" I asked after she hadn't answered for a minute.

"I was thinking." another pause. "Why don't I ask Carlisle if he has ever come across anything like this before. You guys see if you can find out anything else about her."

"Ok Alice. Make sure you let us know what Carlisle says about all this."

"Bye Bella"

"Bye Alice.

I closed the phone and gave it back to Edward.

"You think Carlisle will have any ideas?"

"If any one would it would be him."

The music stopped and everyone was clapping. I looked back to the square when I heard the girl laughing, and then back to Edward when he started laughing. He didn't say anything just pointed back to the girl.

She leaned down a bit and the little old man grabbed her face and gave her a kiss on each cheek. She smiled and gave the old mans hand a squeeze before turning and walking back toward us.

"He asked if he could have the privilege of giving her a kiss. She laughed then told him what I can only guess was only on the cheek." Edward filled me in on the twos conversation.

She walked back over to us.

"Sorry about that he was just so sweet when he asked me."

"On the contrary it was very touching and very kind of you. It meant so much to him." Edward said

"I know I could tell." She replied

She extended her right hand toward me.

"My names Lilith."

I reached out and took it gratefully wanting to feel the warmth again.

"Isabella but please call me Bella." Lilith squeezed my hand and her eyes never left mine. I reluctantly let go. She turned toward Edward and extended her other hand.

"Edward" He said clasping her small hand in his.

That's odd, I thought, why did she use her left hand to shake Edwards hand when she used her right hand to shake mine?

"Please sit." She said motioning to the other chairs as she sat down. "My feet hurt from dancing so much." She smiled in spite of her remark.

Again joy broke through my barriers. Me and Edward both chuckled as we sat down.

"So what brings you two to Greece?" She asked.

Edward grabbed my hand. "We're on our honeymoon." He said smiling at me.

Utter pain and sadness entered her eyes and I had to grip Edwards hand to keep it from overtaking me. Why was I so in tune with this strangers emotions?

"I should have known. You two look in love." She said and smiled but the pain and sadness was still clearly present in her eyes.

Without thinking I reached out my hand and placed it on her cheek.

Edward shot me a look which I returned with a look of my own trying to convey that I was in control. He seemed to understand because he nodded slightly.

She closed her eyes when I put my hand against her cheek.

"Why does that make you so sad?" I asked her.

Lilith slowly opened her eyes and looked into mine.

"How did you know?" She asked me barely in a whisper.

"I can see it in your eyes."

"That's too sad a story for a festive night like tonight, another time perhaps."

I thrilled at those words and the prospect of seeing her again.

"Forgive me." she said reaching up with her right hand and gently taking my hand off of her cheek and holding it.

I was about to say something but she held her hand up. I stayed silent and let her finish.

"Seeing two people so obviously in love with each other brings me hope that I will find that again one day."

I could feel the sincerity in her words. I didn't miss that she said again. So she must have been in love once before. Maybe that's were all the pain and sadness came from. I wanted to ask her what had happened but I could tell that she didn't want to talk about it.

"Come on" She said standing and bringing me with her.

"Let's not waste the music. Edward do you mind if I dance with your Bella?" She asked turning toward him.

Edward got this huge grin on his face.

"Yes Lilith I think I would quite enjoy that."

She smiled at me and started to lead me out into the square. I hit Edward playfully on the arm as we passed by. I could hear him laughing as we got to the middle of the square.

There was a slow song playing and everyone else that was dancing was holding each other close.

"So how is this going to work?" I asked her looking around.

"Just like everyone else" she said smiling.

"I've only ever danced with Edward I don't know how with anyone else."

She chuckled lightly. "Well I guess that takes care of one thing."

"And what's that?"

"I lead." she said wrapping her left arm around my waist and pulling me closer.

I could feel the warmth of her arm through my shirt. It was so comforting.

I heard Edward laughing again from across the square.

"Edward seems to be enjoying this." She said.

"He would." I replied glancing back at him sitting there more perfect than anyone should have the right to be so I stuck my tongue out at him. "Sorry in advance if I step on you."

What was I saying I wouldn't step on her I was a vampire now but she made me nervous.

"No you won't." She said with the utmost confidence. "Just follow my lead and you'll be fine."

We started to dance and sure enough I was fine. She was a couple of inches shorter than me and it was weird not to look up when I was dancing like I had to with Edward. Now that we were almost eye to eye I could see that she had the most unusual eye color. They were the color green that a very clear ocean can be when you fly over it. They also had specks of crystal clear blue in them.

I tore my eyes away from hers and looked around. We were getting some strange looks from people.

"You do realize that people are looking at us."

"Yep"

"It doesn't bother you that people are staring at us."

"No does it bother you?"

I had to admire her laid back I don't care what anyone thinks about me attitude. I hesitated answering her question.

"We can stop if you want."

"No" was my immediate reply. I didn't want to loose the warmth of her touch.

"You sure?"

"Yes let's finish the dance please."

That shy smile came back as she looked up at me through her eyelashes. We continued dancing and she was just a good a dancer as Edward.

I was sad when the song ended. I was having fun and I also knew that the end of the song meant the end of her warm touch. I reluctantly let go of her hand and clapped like everyone else.

"See I told you that you wouldn't step on me." She said as we started to walk back to were Edward was now standing waiting for us to return.

I was already longing for her touch even though it had only been a moment ago that we were dancing. As if she sensed this she reached out and entwined her fingers in mine. I looked over at her but she was looking forward. Before I turned my head back I saw the corner of her mouth raise in what I hoped was a smile. I looked back at Edward and he had the biggest grin on his face.

"What has you grinning like the Cheshire cat?" I asked him as we came to stand in front of him. Lilith still had a hold of my hand.

"Well if that wasn't every mans fantasy, seeing two beautiful women dancing together, then I don't know what is." Edward said smiling even wider.

Before I had a chance to give him my sarcastic remark I felt the blood as it left Liliths hand to fill her cheeks.

"Your blush is simply lovely Lilith." Edward said in his smoothest, velvety voice.

I chuckled lightly and looked over at her. "Yes it is." I said as I watched even more blood fill her cheeks and heard her breathing and heart rate increase.

She looked down trying to hide her obvious enjoyment at the comment.

"I don't know about two beautiful women dancing." she said looking up after composing herself.

Me and Edward looked at each other puzzled. She saw our expressions and continued.

"I can hardly be called beautiful compared to Bella. We don't even belong in the same category."

Me and Edward chuckled and looked at each other.

"You have no idea my dear." Edward commented.

I noticed the grip on my hand loosened and I looked over to see her drop her head, her hair covering her face like a curtain, obviously thinking that he was talking about her looks.

I shot him a deadly look like you better fix this. He got it. Realizing how the comment must have sounded to her.

I squeezed her hand and Edward grabbed her other hand and laid his other one gently over hers.

"Lilith?" He said. We waited for a few seconds for her to respond but she wouldn't look up.

I could feel her hurting. It was an old lingering pain that had plagued her for a long time. I'm not sure how I knew that but I did, it was the first time that I was ever able to tell how long someone has had a particular emotion. It must be a new aspect of my gift. I gave him another harsh look.

"Lilith please look at me." He said again in his gentlest voice.

She slowly raised her head and as her hair fell back to reveal her face she kept her eyes closed. I saw a single tear slide silently down her cheek as she opened her eyes.

We were momentarily speechless. Her eyes sparkled just like the sea brimming with unshed tears. I reached up and brushed the tear away.

"Please forgive me. I wasn't trying to say that you're not beautiful, on the contrary you're quite breathtaking especially when you dance."

I hoped he wasn't laying it on too thick then I looked into his eyes and there was no denying the truth and sincerity in his words. I just hoped that she would recognize that he was telling the truth.

I didn't bother me though as I suppose it should have, him calling another woman breathtaking in front of me. I couldn't think of any other word that could have described her better.

"It's just that…..Bella is….." He stumbled over his words which he didn't do very often. He let out a sigh as he tried to find the words that fit what he was trying to convey.

"How can I make it up to you?"

"Dance with her." I said quickly before either one of them had the time to say anything.

"Bella" They both said at the same time turning to look at me.

Dancing made her so happy. I knew that it would cheer her up. I didn't like seeing her hurting and I was still struggling trying to keep her emotions from breaking through my barriers.

"Bella it's your honeymoon you should be the only one dancing with your husband." Lilith said.

"Why? I danced with you."

She went to respond then closed her mouth. "Good point."

"Bella" Edward said. I looked into his eyes and whispered so softly at vampire speed

"You better do this Edward Anthony Mason Cullen or you won't touch me for a week." His eyes got big. "Do it for me Edward. She loves to dance so much." He sighed resigned. He couldn't deny me anything. The whole exchange only took a few seconds.

"Lilith will you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

Lilith blinked numerous times trying to clear her head then looked at me questioning. I had to smile, Edward had clearly dazzled her. I nodded once and a smile broke across her face.

"I would be delighted to."

I let go if her hand and clapped. Edward looked at me amused and she let out a small giggle. He stood and pulled her up with him.

She was in for a real treat and I knew that she would probably remember this dance for the rest of her life.

He led her out into the square with his ever present grace, her own nearly matching his. I had never seen a human that had as much natural grace as she did.

When they got to the middle of the square I saw her look at the band and they nodded back. She must have a favorite song or something. She obviously knows them she was talking to them earlier.

Edward held up her left hand and put his left hand in the middle of her back. She reached up and put her right hand on his shoulder.

They band started to play this fast waltz.

"I hope you can keep up." I heard Edward say the smile evident in his words.

She threw her head back and laughed. "I think I can manage." She replied with a smile of her own.

Edward laughed and they began to dance.

I stood so I could see them better. There are no words that I can use to describe how magnificent it was. She followed his lead effortlessly as the twirled around the square. Her long soft curls and her skirt fanned out behind her as they spun faster and faster.

I saw him clench his jaw a couple of times to keep in control. The scent of her nearly overpowering me, as I stood watching in amazement from afar, so I can only imagine how hard it must have been for Edward having her so close.

Everyone that was in or around the square stopped what they were doing to watch. Even the other people that were dancing stopped and stepped back to give them more room.

The music started to slow and so did there movements. Their eyes never left each others and they never fell out of step. It was the single most beautiful dance that I had ever seen.

When the music stopped everyone cheered and clapped. Me being the loudest out of everyone.

Edward let go of her back while keeping hold of her hand and pulled her so she was standing next to him. She took a bow and when she stood back up I saw her shoulders shake with a silent laugh.

I continued to clap as he led her by the hand back toward me. He smiled my favorite crooked smile when he saw that I was clapping.

When they stopped in front of me she stood on her tippy toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank You." She said.

I smiled at the shocked look on his face.

"So am I forgiven for my earlier mistake?" Edward questioned her.

"Yes" was her simple reply.

She let go of Edwards hand and come over and grabbed both of mine. She placed a light kiss on my cheek.

"And thank you Bella for allowing me the pleasure of dancing with not only Edward but you also."

I smiled and squeezed her hands. "The pleasure was all mine. You two were absolutely astounding. Why don't we sit and we can get to know each other better. You can tell us all about yourself." She smiled and we sat down.

"Shall I go get us some drinks?" Edward offered. I was touched that he would be thinking about her; of course we had no need for them. He always did remember to take care of my eating and drinking when I was human.

"Yes. Thank you Edward." I said smiling up at him. He placed a kiss on top of my head before he made his way into the café.
