to those of you who think that i am copying the story by Nora Roberts you're wrong, i was only using half the first chapter to get me started i was always planning on changing most of it and making it my own, but thank you for even reading the story in the first place =]

Dance upon the Air

BPov

i followed my sense of smell after hearing HIS voice again for the first time in several months. i couldn't even think his name without shivers crawling down my spine, and getting all clammy, and worked up.

everytime i closed my eyes i could see his face, his cold brown eyes, his deep russet brown of his skin, his coal black, short spiky hair. at first he was my prince come to whisk me away, i never saw the truth, only the lie. the first time he hit me was a shock, i couldn't even remember what i'd done wrong, he'd said that that i was a spoilt little cow, always having things bought for me, and never saying thank you. the thing that confused me was that i always remembered to say thanks.

there were other times he'd hit me, lots of times.

Like when we'd had the garden party at our mansion in La Push. He'd locked me in the walk in wardrobe, saying i was a cheap tart, flirting with his business associates, saying i was an embarassment to him.

I cringed at the memory of him, and kept on walking.

I followed my feet, watching my steps to make sure there was nothing i might trip over.

I stopped outside a little cafe, Cafe Book.

I sounded perfect. following impulse again, i went into the shop, this would be the first place i would look for a job, worst off i would find a friend.

i went in, the shop smelled of the strangest but sweetest smelling incense, it played with my emotions a bit, making me happy for the first time in 9 months.

the tables had soft crimson velvet draped over them, and little trinkets and boxes, crystals and jewelry, and different incense sticks.

The cabinets were rich, glossy oak filled with all types of books. some shelves held yet more trinket boxes, some even held crystal balls and little packs of tarot cards wrapped in black silk and tied with different coloured ribbon.

the whole shop had a cozy feel to it. to the far left of the room there were some big sofa's the sort of sofa that screamed come and snuggle up. How i long for a place like this when i stop running. a cozy home. one that makes you feel welcome you when you walk into the room. one that makes you feel safe and secure. that was how this room me me feel. but also one that longed for a family to live in it, to have a baby laying in front of the fire, and maybe some family pets like a dog or a cat or maybe even both. and other children playing in the garden. and a husband and wife, deeply in love snuggled up on the sofa while the children are in bed.

But i wont get any of that because i cant stop running until i know for sure he'll never find me, and i'll never know if or when. and it kills me to know that i may never get my dream of a happy family.

I followed the smell wafting from down the hallway. the cafe part of the bookstore i guessed.

When i walked in to the cafe i saw that this was just as well thought out as the rest of the bookstore, with the comforting, and safe feeling. and the smell of the food was mouthwateringly beautiful, the display cabinets were full of muffins, cakes, sandwiches and a variety of fresh baked bread and pasteries. in the pot i could see the days soup, Lentil and tomatoes. it smelled and looked delicious, when i thought about it i hadnt eaten anything so i ordered a bowl of the soup and a chamomile tea to with it. i went over to the window seat to wait for my order.

after i'd found a job the next thing i would do would be to explore. the harbor looked so pretty with calm, sparkling, sky blue water and little whitw boats bobbing along. i could see myself living here. when i'd stepped off the ferry, it felt like for the first time since i'd lost my parents i belonged somewhere. there had always been something not quite right with my parents, something missing, and i'd found that here. it was something i'd given up on ever finding.

"heres your soup mam. Can i get you anything else?" the lady who asked me somehow looked familiar to me. but i'd never seen her before in my life. her hair was like a bright golden fire on her head, and in thick ringlets down to her waist. her skin was pale but flawless. she wore no make-up but a little bit of shiny lipgloss - not that she needed any make-up on. she was wearing a ice blue silk dress that hugged her curves, she was stunning.

"No thankyou. I'm new here and well i was looking for a job, i wonder, if you could point me in the right direction?"

"Oh well no problem, we always have room for another here - i-if you want to be a waitress that is" her voice was like ringing bells and sounded like the sweetest music.

"Oh well then that was easy, when can i start?"

"well if you dont mind, would you be able to start now? i'm run off my feet, my cooks in the kitchen. shes a bit touchy today her and her husband are having a few problems at the moment so be nice, please"

"errm okay then. by the way my names Isa- i mean Bella, just bella."

"My names Rosalie Hale and this is my cafe. Hope that you enjoy your time on the sisters-" Crash! Bang! "oh and thats Jane, our chef."

I followed Rosalie into the kitchen, and was suprised to see how big it was, and how clean. every surface was sparkling.

jane was small but with a beautiful face, but she looked very angry.

"Jane whats happened now"

"Alec! thats what happened, he's leaving me to move to new york to be with his new girlfriend! Can you believe it! 13 years of marriage for him to throw it for a girl half his age! And by the way who the hell are you!"

"i'm the ne-"

"Rosalie! why is she in here! its off limits to customers! you should know its your caff!"

"Well if you'd have let her finish you'd have heard she's the new waitress"

"Oh. well i'm sorry. i didnt mean to take it out on you, i mean its not your fault is it."

"right now we all know who everybody is... we've got a shop and cafe to run so lets get on with it"

Hope you like it and see i havent copied the book at all now this is the start of a brand new story - sort of anyway
