Chapter 6
Our Meadow
The next day I felt a little depressed. Whatever I did I couldn't forget about Charlie. Jasper tried to make me feel better with his talent, but it was only temporary happiness. Even Seth, who had come to visit, couldn't cheer me up. Eventually Edward decided to take me hunting, just to take my mind off of the problem. It worked a little, so for a few hours I let my true vampire loose. Together we took down three mountain lions and a couple of grizzlies. I was proud of the fact I had not turned into a dishevelled mess like my first hunting trip. I laughed at the memory. Then I didn't know what happened, one second I was running, the next I appeared to be falling.
"Edward!" I complained, as I realised he had grabbed me. I laughed, then screamed "Don't rip my clothes!" Too late. I growled. "Why can't I come back from a single hunting trip with my clothes fully intact?"
Edward let out a brief laugh before his lips shaped themselves to mine. At that moment my will crumbled to dust, and I knew that we wouldn't be finished until sundown.
We went back to our cottage to find that the wardrobe had been restocked with all of the clothes from Alice's shopping trip. Finally we left the house and made our way towards our meadow. We went at human pace, just enjoying each other's company. I was remembering the first time we came here, the first day I saw Edward in the sunlight. To be honest it was the first day I saw Edward for what he really was, not only deadly but also gentle, loving and dazzling. I heard Edward chuckle. I had left my shield down, deliberately this time, and he was enjoying hearing my thoughts. A luxury he seemed to be enjoying more and more recently. He pulled me back towards him, and kissed me softly.
A few minutes later we were in the meadow. It was night by now, and the stars were shining down on us. I don't fully know how we ended up lying on the grass, but I didn't really care. There was just me and him. "I still remember the first time I met you." He mused.
"Ugh" I moaned, pushing myself off his chest to complain. "Don't think of the first, wasn't that when you were planning every single way you could kill me." He shuddered at the memory.
"I suppose your right, but you really don't' know what I was thinking."
"Go on then. What were you thinking?" I asked, genuinely curious.
"If you must know, yes. I was planning ways to..." he hesitated, "kill you. But my first thought was 'why me?' I watched you, you were a nice, bright and beautiful girl who I couldn't even be friends as my very existence put you in danger. Then, when I met you my mind was working overtime to try and get you on your own to kill you." He winced. I didn't like to see him in pain, so I kissed him again.
"I love you" I whispered.
He chuckled. "I love you too. So much. My heart is yours, as it will always be."
I sighed, gazing up at the moon. "I know. Life is meaningless without you." And then I kissed him.
