A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews! I love hearing what you guys think of it, so please if you have any comments or suggestions please review! I'm debating on writing a lemon, tell me what you think! Here's chapter five, enjoy.
Edward pulled me aside as Sirius, James, Remus, Emmet, and Jasper went into the Cullen house. "I need to talk to you about something important."
I nodded in response as he took him hand in his and led me through the forest. "What's wrong?" I asked, I sat down on a rock. I hadn't changed from quidditch training and my body was hot from the work out and it defiantly showed with the light layer of sweat.
It glistened in the suns rays making it almost look like I rubbed oil on my body, how disgusting, I probably smell…and Edwards a vampire! His sense of smell is incredible, I leaned my head to the side trying to take a quiet sniff at my armpit. Edward turned around out of the sun where he sparkled like a diamond.
"Did you just try to smell…" He said but I interrupted him blushing from embarrassment at being caught, "Don't worry about it." He cracked a grin sitting beside me on the large boulder. He was still holding my hand in his cold one. "Have you learned about soul mates with vampires in your school?" I looked at him, I didn't understand where he was coming from.
Yes, we had learned that vampires have soul mates but we never went into the depth of it. "Yes, a little."
He nodded, he looked ahead still holding my hand. It seemed as if he was collecting his thoughts, "I know we just met but…when we see our soul mates we go through a transition of sorts… Our powers become stronger, we become stronger."
He paused, I was still confused and had no idea where he was going with this but I listened, encouraging him to continue. "I found my soul mate, Bella." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I really liked Edward and I still felt that connection towards him. I didn't understand…I was sad? Disappointed? Hurt? I think I was secretly hoping that maybe he would like me, even if it was just a little bit.
He wiped my cheek, I didn't even realize I was crying but I was, I wanted this more than I thought but he couldn't know that, I wouldn't cry over a boy.
I can't even remember the last time I cried, I never cry. My life was good, I didn't need Edward. I had the guys, "Well, I'm happy for you. I'm sure she's extremely beautiful, you deserve someone. C-can I know who she is?"
He looked at me grinning which only made me feel worse, now he's being a dick. I turned away from him, I refuse to put up with him if he's going to laugh at me, "Bella, please look at me."
I sighed, turning back to him slowly but keeping my head down. His hand came up and cupped my chin forcing me to look upwards into his honey gold eyes. "She's you, Bella." He whispered, I looked at him in shock. "When I saw you in the woods with Sirius everything changed.
I knew instantly that you were her, my soul mate. I'm really sorry to spring this on you but I can't stay away from you. I feel physically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally connected to you…We're soul mates Bella." I looked at him, still in shock, I couldn't believe what he was telling me.
We were soul mates. He loves me…and I think I might love him too. "I feel the connection too. I didn't understand but now I do, it makes sense to me now."
I told him looking up at him, he smiled. "I've never had a boyfriend before, I'm new to this so you'll have to help me…" He grinned at me and I blushed under his stare. He took my other hand leaning towards me exhaling his sweet breath that was purely oxygen.
I leaned forward and he closed the distance between us kissing me. His lips were soft as they fit perfectly against mine. The kiss was soft and slow but somehow I ended up in his lap running my hands through his silky hair and his hands on my waist. I blushed but smiled when he grinned at me.
I kissed him on the cheek taking his hand. He led me back to the house as we talked. He wanted to know all about school and the guys. I laughed out loud but blushed all the same, god I am always blushing! Edwards family seemed really nice and proper compared to the obnoxiousness that I am, I'm not even going to get into the guys and their manners.
I doubt he wants to hear about all of the detentions, pranks and just plain stupidity that we pull on a daily, sometimes hourly, basis. However he does deserve to know…I'll just have Sirius explain things. "I'm going to let Sirius explain everything. I think he can give you a better understanding than what I can I give."
He nodded holding open the back door for me, I walked into the kitchen, Sirius was eating an apple and James and Jasper discussed more quidditch. "Hey, Vix what's up?" I grabbed an apple biting into the sweet juice as it crunched into my mouth. "Tell Edward about us and school." He grinned laughing. "Oh, so you don't know about her being the true demon child that she is?"
I rolled my eyes, he had room to talk. "What do you mean?" Edward questioned. "Vix and I hold the record for the most detentions in all of Hogwarts history. Hogwarts has been around for a pretty long time, in fact I'm pretty sure dinosaurs went there." You have got to be kidding me, this child's stupidity amazes me. "We have plaque too, in the trophy room, that tells how many detentions we have had."
"How many is that?" Edward asked.
"About 750ish. Somewhere in that area."
"How the hell do you get all of those detentions?"
"Fights, pranks, parties, sneaking out of the castle, being out after curfew, disrespect, dress code violations, cussing, drinking, tattoos, piercing, and dancing on tables."
"Don't forget we bleached Filch's cat a few times." I said drawing a random pattern on the granite counter tops with my finger.
"How the hell do you bleach a cat?!" Edward practically yelled, I cringed. I knew he would hate me after this.
"A potion, Vix is really smart, she made it. And you know Edward, as dumb as we may seem right now, we're pretty damn smart. Vix and I are at the top of our class in Defense Against the Dark Arts, James is Transfiguration, and Remus is Astrology and Charms, he's a nerd."
"I HEARD THAT!" Remus yelled from the other room.
"I know you like Bella, and I'm sure this is either a huge turn on or turn off. Personally it's a turn on but we're not going there, the point is, Vix is an amazing person. She's incredibly smart, funny and hot as hell!
Plus she's really nice, she doesn't lie or cheat, but she's bloody wicked at talking her way out of things. She is the first girl in history to ever be on a quidditch team and a lot of people don't like it but because she is so good they let it go Basically she is the coolest person I know."
I hugged Sirius squeezing him as he hugged me back. Sirius can be really sweet when he wants to be, but he would never let anyone know that. "So, I guess I never realized how close you are, I didn't even notice your matching tattoos." I looked to my left arm seeing the wolf, fox, stag and moon tattoo. I smiled up at him, "I have more tattoos. You want to see?"
He nodded, I pulled my shorts lower showing him the Chinese symbols on my lower back. He traced them with his fingers making me shiver. I turned back around and took off my sneaker showing him the paw print on my ankle with my name in cursive along the side. "Vixen is your nickname?" I nodded, "It's based after my animagus form, you want to see it?"
He nodded, "Yes, I do." I grinned before running over to the back door so I could take my other shoe off and place them on the mat in front of it. I walked back over to him concentrating on letting the animal in me come out.
I grew reddish fur on my body but pure white snow on my chest, stomach and feet. I stood before him looking up into his eyes. I sat down curling my extremely bushy tail around me. My fox form is very "fuzzy" as Remus says. My fur color is dark red with dark brown around my eyes and on the tips of my ears and tail, but my chest, stomach and feet are all white.
Edward kneeled down in front of me, my ears perked towards him. I walked towards him as he opened his arms picking me up and holding me to his chest. "You're fur is so soft. It's like velvet." I looked up at him catching his eye. I licked his cheek with the tip of my tongue in a way of kissing him. "What the hell? Are you guys an item?" Sirius exclaimed. I smiled, "Yes, Bella is my soul mate." Edward said, I snuggled deeper into his chest breathing in his sweet musky smell.
"Aw Bella, I'm happy for you! You're her first boyfriend Edward." I rolled my eyes, yes people thought I was drop-dead gorgeous but no one asked me out because people thought the guys had some sort of claim on me. "You told her! Oh Edward I'm so happy, Bella we're sisters now!"
I changed back to my human form. Edward kept his solid arms around me. I never realized how tall he was, a good eight inches or more. I laughed at Alice's statement, "I guess we are." She bounced up and down in joy. Alice was a very energetic person.
"We have to go shopping!" I looked at her, a pained expression on my face. I hate shopping. The only things I go shopping for when they are an absolute necessity are; school supplies, quidditch gear, prank items, and candy.
Shopping and I do not mix well, I'm used to just getting things on demand through magic. Of course Sirius has to open up his big mouth, "Okay! Vix will love to go shopping and I want to come too! REMUS WE'RE GOING SHOPPING!"
He ran into the living room, what those girls at school see in him I will never know. I looked to James in a state of panic, I really hate shopping. "Sorry Vix, I actually need some clothes and you do too." Alice was even more excited as she bounced around the kitchen.
I groaned, "It's okay love, I'll go with you." I looked at him and he leaned down to kiss me on the lips lightly. I sighed, "Fine, but I get a say in what I buy…and we're going into the wizarding mall too."
Alice looked at me funny, "Wizarding mall?" I smiled, "Yeah, I take it we're going to Seattle?" Alice nodded, "There is a wizard mall in Seattle, its one of the bigger ones in America too so its pretty cool." Alice bounced up and down in excitement, great I just encouraged her to buy more things and she's probably not going to know how to use half of it.
"Does everyone want to go?" Everyone piled into the kitchen nodding. "Alright, but we're going by port-key, it's faster than driving. Sirius make a port-key to Seattle. Everyone get the things you'll need, bring cash, we have to transfer things into galleons. Guys we're going home to change and get cloaks."
Sirius made the port-key out of a paper plate but gave it an hour before it was due to leave. The guys and I apparated back to my house to get ready.
Pulling on a pair of black slacks, black silk ballet shoes, a red and gold striped t-shirt with the Gryffindor crest on the front pocket and my last name on the back and my black light weight cloak over top. I left my hair down in its unruly curls as I checked how I looked in the mirror.
I guess I looked okay, with my thick black eye lashes and freckles standing out more prominently after being out in the sun.
The guys were dress in the same black slacks, black loafers and button down colored shirts with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. They too had light weight black cloaks on, in the wizarding world clothing was very different from muggle clothing.
Women only wear black slacks, or skirts where as muggles wear shorts, skirts, jeans, and other clothing. We only wear black satin ballet shoes as well, they are comfortable and stay on quite well. Not to mention they are easy to move in.
Boys wear only black slacks and button downs and t-shirts. Muggle clothing is unacceptable in the wizarding world. People who wear muggle clothing are frowned upon and often mocked, sometimes fights break out. I'll have to fix the Cullen's clothing before we go.
"Ready to go guys?" I grabbed my wand off of my desk, they nodded and we turned on the spot apparating to the Cullens for a day of shopping.
