Isabella Marie Swan
My bare feet slapping the ground was the only sound that was made on the dark streets of Volterra. The Golden Eyed vampires made no noise as we ran.
"Here, put this on!" a high pitched voice frantically told me while thrusting a long black cloak to me.
I shivered at the thought of putting on something so dark, but slipped it on anyways.
My wings made the fabric on my back stand out a little, but not much. I will just look like a hunch back.
Great.
"Maybe this isn't the best idea..." I muttered while looking at my uber-big back.
"I was just thinking the very same thing..." the short pixie girl stated, her brow furrowing. Her gaze flickered to Edward for a fraction of a second.
I sighed and pulled off the cloak.
"Let me meet you where we are going. I can fly right beside you when you are on the plane. I will not fly away..." I was about to ask where I would go, I have no family here, but thought better of it.
For some reason everyone turned to the short pixie who nodded her head. Everyone relaxed and nodded their head's at me.
"Okay. Stay close to the plane. What is your name?" Carlisle asked.
"Um... Isabella Swan... but, please call me Bella.." I whispered as my face turned red under Edward's stony gaze.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Carlisle. This is Esme, my wife. Emmett, Jasper, and Edward my son's. Alice and Rosalie are my daughters. We are glad to have you." Carlisle smiled with passion as he pointed out each family member to me.
I nodded to each of them with a smile on my face.
"It is very nice to meet ya'll. Are we almost to the airport?" I asked with a smile.
"Actually, we are there now." Carlisle said with a chuckle.
I sighed in relief.
"Okay, uh... see you soon." I laughed nervously.
Everyone looked at me expectantly.
I blushed under their eager gaze.
I simply pulled out my wings with a sigh. This was like laying the most comfortable cloud in heaven.
I heard several gasps, but I didn't pay much attention. I was flying, in every sense of the word.
My head swam with the wonderful feeling of flight...
Soon I found I was miles and miles in the air. Just soaring.
I opened my eyes to see the plane directly under me.
My wings hit the wind at just the right angle, I flew downward at a lazy pace.
My feet grazed the plane and I sighed, this was going to be a long ride, better lie down for a minute....
I was rocked to sleep by the gentle hum of he plane and the wind whooshing past my face.
My bones were like those found on birds. Small and fragile so I wouldn't make the plane tilt...
...just a few seconds of sleep...
I awoke to a raindrop hitting my wing. I gasped and sprang up, I can't let my wings get wet or I'd crash!
Flying under the plane, I began to breath in heavy breaths, that was so close.... too close...
I looked all around and saw I was very close to an airport... I need a place to hide!
My violet eyes flickered every single spot my eyes could see... and came up with the woods.
I tucked in my wings and rocketed towards the Earth.
Right before my feet hit the ground I shot my wings out, it hurt, but it protected me from breaking any bones.
I winced and pushed my knees into the hard ground trying to rid the hurt in my shoulders to no avail.
Wincing, my eyes began to water.
"Are you alright?"
that velvety voice made me spin around, my tears flying and hitting him in the face.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I was just startled." I blushed deeply at him.
"Well, it was my fault. I should not have snuck up on you..." Edward's voice trailed off as he stared at my wings.
"You... you can touch them if you want to..." I muttered, embarrassed immediately after I said it.
"If you don't mind..." Edward smiled and walked to my side with a smirk on his beautiful face.
His fingers found the pure white feathers and I shivered in delight.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you must be cold!" Edward exclaimed while throwing his cream colored leather jacket over my shoulders.
"Thank you." I whispered as he began running his fingers through the feathers again.
I heard him whisper something along the lines of 'beautiful', but he must be talking about something else because I am anything, but beautiful.
"Bella... would you like me to run you to our house?" Edward asked.
"I guess so..." I whispered, blushing.
I tucked my wings as close as possible to my back under the cover of Edward jacket with a smile.
... I was still a bit tired...
As I drifted off I thought of how wonderful Edward was...
When I woke I knew I was not in Edward's arms. Because, when I rolled over I fell off of the bed I was in.
I groaned as I sat up on the wooden floor.
"Ouch..." I moaned as I stood up.
I gasped at the beautiful room surrounding me.
There was white everywhere! The bed was white, the floor was a wonderful wooden brown color that went well with the white fluff rug that lay under the bed and went out a bit so I landed in a comfortable heap.
Was this my room? Surely it couldn't be!
I shook my head and stood up, walking over to a white chest of drawers.
There was a present, guess what color? White.
I giggled and opened it...
...to see a beautiful dress!
I slipped it one and laughed, twirling around, my wings fluttered with me.
"Happy?" Edward's voice broke me out of my little dance and I blushed deeply.
"Uh... I like the d-dress..." I murmured, my face the color of a tomato.
"I can see that. But, did you notice the shoes in the bag?" Edward asked me with a chuckle.
As I looked into the bag my smile faltered.
There, laying in the wrapping was my worst nightmare.
Four inch Jimmy Choo heels.
