CHAPTER 4

EPOV

As I was going to get the drinks I was trying to wrap my mind around this woman. She was completely confusing. It troubled me that I couldn't hear her thoughts and that Alice couldn't see her. Yet Bella seemed to be in tune with her. Bella had never had anyone's emotions break through the barriers that she had learned to put up unless Bella opened up a little.

All that plus the scent thing was completely throwing me off. I had never met a human that had smelled different to each vampire, let alone to smell like the one person that vampire seemed to desire the most. She smelled so much like Bella yet she had another distinct underlying scent that was just as inviting. I didn't know if Bella was able to smell it, her pallet wasn't as near as accustomed to the different smells of blood that mine was.

Lilith also didn't seem to notice the coldness of our skin or any of our other distinctive vampire qualities and it unnerved me. If she did notice she never acknowledged it in fact taking every opportunity that she could to touch us. Just like Bella had she didn't shy away from us like most humans did. In fact if nothing else she seemed to be intrigued and attracted to us.

Then the thought occurred to me maybe her brain worked liked Bella's and that's why I couldn't hear her thoughts but that still didn't explain why Alice couldn't see anything with us and Lilith beyond our meeting tonight. For some reason we were supposed to meet this woman that at least was for certain because that much Alice had seen. And I learned my lesson about betting against Alice. All I had to do now was find out why we were supposed to meet her and find out as much information about her as we could. She seemed to be hiding something about herself or her past and that in itself was always dangerous.

As I walked back toward the two women I was momentarily stunned again from the scent that came from the two of them. It seemed to mix together in a tantalizing elixir that drew me to them. Not to mention the fact that they were both stunningly beautiful sitting at the little table the flicker from the lone candle making shadows dance across their faces. Bella with her beautiful pale skin that seemed to shine even in that little bit of light.

Lilith's skin wasn't that much darker than Bellas but she has little freckles that peppered across her nose and under her eyes. I also noticed when we were dancing that she had little freckles that dotted her milky white shoulders.

I had never had to exert so much control around a humane since Bella. I was worried that Bella would have a problem being around her if I was having such a hard time resisting her blood, but my Bella seemed to be handling it well. She's always been strong and stubborn.

I had to smile at the pair of them just sitting across from one another not saying anything just exchanging shy smiles back and forth.

"Thank you Edward." They both said in unison and when they both said Edward there voices joined together to make the most beautiful sound. I had to close my eyes to resist the urge to throw them both over my shoulders and run back to the hotel.

I was broken out of my thoughts by Bella asking "Since you won't tell us yet why you're in Greece will you at least tell us what you do here?" I didn't miss Bella's inflection of the word yet.

"You see that little clothing shop over there?" Lilith said pointing to a little shop across the square.

Bella and I both looked in the direction that she pointed.

"I work there."

"What do you do?" Bella asked.

"I design and make custom clothes. Like this skirt for example."

"Oh Alice would love you." Bella said with a little laugh.

"Who's Alice?"

"She's our sister." I answered "She's a bit of a clothing and shopping-aholic. We'll have to come by and see if there's anything that she would like."

Bella looked over at me with a big smile on her face. It was obvious to me that she wanted to see Lilith again and if that's what my Bella wanted that's what she would get. I couldn't deny that I wanted to see her again also. The draw I had to Lilith was nearly as strong as when I first laid eyes on my Bella.

"If there's anything as beautiful as your skirt is I'm sure we'll find something for Alice." Bella complimented her

Lilith blushed slightly at Bella's comment. "Yeah come on over and I'll show you guys around the shop and show you what I do. Do you guys mind if I ask you how old you are?" Lilith asked shyly.

I saw Bella smiling trying to stifle a laugh. I think that this was the first time that a human had asked her what her age was since she had been changed. We had already discussed this and decided that we would tell people that I was 21 and Bella was 20 which was close enough on her part.

"I am 21 and Bella is 20. And how old are you?' I asked in return.

"I'm 23."

"Do you mind if I ask were you're from?" I asked her.

"I was born in a little town called Ilwaco on the Long Beach peninsula in Washington. We lived outside the town closer to the beach but that was the closest town."

I momentarily stopped breathing not that I needed too, but I was shocked. I knew that town it was only 177 miles from Forks. This was just too much of a coincidence. I wiped the shocked look off my face that I'm sure was there and hoped that neither of them saw it. I decided to keep that information to myself then and I would talk to Bella about it later.

"I left home on my 18th birthday and came here to Greece and have been here ever since."

"Don't you have family back home?" Bella asked her.

"Not anymore."

I looked at Bella and she seemed to tense up and her eyes got sad. I wondered if that was her missing her family or if that was more of Liliths emotions breaking through Bella's barriers. Bella reached out and laid her hand on top of Liliths and I realized that the sadness must be coming from Lilith.

"My parents were killed in a car accident two years ago." Bella squeezed her hand.

"At the time I didn't have the money to go home and now that I do I figured why there's nothing for me there anymore."

I looked at Lilith and I hated not being able to hear her thoughts to know what made her beautiful eyes cloud over with sadness. Neither Bella nor I said anything we just let her continue talking.

"At times I miss it. Especially in the mornings when the mist from the ocean seemed to hang in the air and it would tickle your nose. I miss the smell of the pine trees when it rained, and the salty smell that would drift up from the ocean." She closed her eyes trying to call forward earlier days and a little smile crept at the corners of her mouth.

"I used to love walking through the forest and then you would break free out of the trees and feel the earth give way under you and feel the soft white sand under you feet." She opened her eyes and they sparkled with the memories. I was captivated by her voice as was Bella. I looked over at her and she sat unmoving listening, her eyes locked on Lilith's face, as wrapped up in her story as I was.

"I used to walk down to the beach almost every day at sunset and watch the last ray of sun as it sank behind the water and wait as the moon would rise and cast its soft white glow across the water. I would walk back to my house and try to make pictures out of the shapes of the shadows that the moon would cast through the branches of the trees. My only regret about coming here is not being able to see my mother one last time before she died."

"Only your mother not your father?" Bella asked her.

At the mention of her father anger flickered in her eyes and I heard a growl so low that I knew Lilith hadn't heard coming from Bella. I laid my hand gently on her shoulder to calm her. Whatever she had been feeling through Lilith must have been some pretty strong anger to make Bella react like she did.

I just wish that I knew. It was even more frustrating not being able to hear the thoughts of the two people that I wanted to most of all. Lilith completely intrigued and frustrated me and I wanted nothing more than to find out more about her and her past.

"Id rather not talk about my father." She said through gritted teeth.

I decided to change the subject before my Bella experienced anymore of Liliths anger or pain. All the pain and anger in both of their eyes was enough to make me want to rip out someone's throat or cry if I was able too.

"So Lilith tell us how you became such a wonderful dancer." I asked her knowing that dance would be a happier subject for her.

She turned to look at me and a twinkle came into her eyes and a big smile stretched across her lovely full pink lips. I couldn't repress a smile and I saw that neither could Bella. She laughed melodiously and her smile only grew.

"My mom was a dancer and she taught me. Dance was the one thing that seemed to come effortlessly and naturally to me. I never had to work that hard to be good at it. I guess it was in the genes. It's my one pure love, and my safe harbor. The escape that I get through the music brings me nothing but joy. When I dance I feel like the emotions of the music flows through me and into my movements making each dance feel like magic."

Her joy was contagious and I found myself smiling even bigger.

"When I dance I feel free, free from my troubles, free from….. well everything. In that moment there's nothing but me and the music." She laughed lightly at herself. "I know I must sound crazy to you two." She smiled and dropped her eyes.

"Quite the contrary my dear I think we understand completely." And I did understand it was the same way with me and my music.

She looked up and that shy demure smile was back and with that she blushed ever so slightly that the freckles on her lovely pale cheeks all but disappeared.

I saw her trying to stifle a yawn. It was only then that I realized how late it was and how tired she must be. Unlike us she did need to sleep.

"We should be getting along." I said not able to keep the regret out of my voice.

Bella looked at me and I could see in her eyes that she was as hesitant to have the evening end as I was.

Lilith's head shot up at my words and she laid her hand on my arm that was sitting on the table. The sudden warmth of her hand startled me. It was so warm and comforting that I closed my eyes to savor it.

"Do you really have to go? I've only just met you two and I hate for the night to end."

When I opened my eyes she locked hers onto mine and her eyes were almost pleading and I very nearly told her we didn't have to go. And Bella said that I dazzled people.

"There's always tomorrow." I said and gave her a warm smile that seemed to dazzle her right back. I laughed inwardly. Two can play at the dazzling game.

I saw Bella flash me a big smile out of the corner of my eye.

"You mean I will see you two tomorrow?" Lilith said and her eyes brightened.

"Well of course if the invitation to come by your shop is still open." I replied.

"Yes yes of course it is." She smiled and pulled her hand out from under Bellas and took her other hand off of my arm. She clapped her hands a few times in her excitement.

"Yes please come by whenever you can." She said still smiling.

"Then tomorrow it shall be." I said standing and reaching my hand out to Bella. She took my hand and stood.

Lilith rose with her and stepped around the table to stand in front of Bella and me.

She stepped in front of me, stood on the tips of her toes and I felt her warm soft lips against my cold cheek and her soft curls brushed against my neck. She seemed to linger there for a minute and that mixed with her scent nearly overpowered me.

"Good night Edward and thank you for the dance." She said smiling, looking up at me through her eyelashes as she stood back.

Damn she dazzled me again.

She then took a small step to the side and stood in front of Bella. She leaned in and placed another light kiss on Bella's cheek.

"And thank you for the dance." she whisper in Bella's ears as she hesitantly pulled back.

"Good night Bella."

"Good night Lilith." We both said.

She gave us one last shinning smile before she turned and started heading across the square toward her shop.

Bella reached up and placed her hand on her cheek were Lilith had kissed it. She looked absolutely ravishing basking in the afterglow of the warm kiss.

"I can still fell the warmth of her lips" She said looking into my eyes and giving me one of her smiles that I so loved.

"I can also still feel it my love." I said and returned her smile as we turned and started to walk back to our hotel.

We walked for a while in silence both of us lost in our own thoughts.

"Lilith is turning out to be quite the mystery to be unraveled." I said breaking the silence.

"Yes she is." Bella said turning to me smiling. "I always did like a good mystery."

I threw my head back and laughed. I knew all to well the mysteries Bella like to unravel.

"Yes you do my love." I said sliding my arm around her waist.

We walked back to our hotel with our arms wrapped around each other trying to make sense out of what had occurred that night.
