Chapter 6: Meadow

Edward let me off his back, as I stared at the misty meadow.

"Wow, it's so pretty." I said awe struck. There were little flowers glistening from the rain the colours of violet, yellow, and white. It was perfectly round and small, but that made it all the more beautiful.

"Nobody knows about this. I found it last time we came here, about 60 something years ago." He told me. I walked into the centre I could hear water flowing somewhere.

"Well Alice has to know, she knows everything." I admitted.

"Well ya, I guess, but she never comes here." I took off my jacket and laid it on the ground so I could sit. I looked up at the grey sky then back to Edward. He smiled and took off his jacket to sit on it next to me.

"I should feel cold right now but I don't." I admitted to him.

"There are lots of things you should be… like my girlfriend." I thought he said that but I couldn't be sure. It didn't sound like he said that out loud, maybe I was just imagining things. I wish he did say that.

"So Bella, tell me about yourself." He asked starring into my eyes. I sighed.

"What do you want to know?" I asked him back.

"Why'd you move here, what happened to make you relocate?" He asked. Wow, he actually asked that. Nobody has really ever asked…or asked for details.

I guess I took too long to answer. "If it's hard for you, you don't have to answer, forget that I ask-" He started but I cut him off.

"Its fine…well my last home was good to start off with Renée, was awesome until she met Phil.

"Well at first it was fine she seemed happy, he was good to her, but then he brought home some of his friends, and a lot of drugs. The bills didn't get paid, no food in the fridge, no gas in the car, and Renée started to get lost.

"She was the one I spent the most time at 6 years. I loved her but Phil and his habits, or should I say his friends too, ended up killing her.

"The other 8 homes, couldn't work so they gave me back. The first one was about a year then the happy couple got divorced. The second, third, and fourth, couldn't parent and ended up the same way as the first. The fifth was fun until I was held against my will, by the older brother. The sixth was horrific; they wanted me to be the bloody maid. And the seventh both those parents died in a car crash two months after I arrived.

"Seriously I think I would've been better at an orphanage." I told him. (An: Please no flames about this, I mean no harm, it's all fictional, and I need an explanation.)

He didn't say anything cheesy, didn't tell me he felt sorry for me, he didn't try to put a Band-Aid on war wound kiss it better and send me on my merry way.

"That's horrible." He said.

"I survived." I admitted.

"You did, and if you didn't survive, I wouldn't be able to do this…" And he kissed me, slow and maddening.

It could have been minutes or maybe it was years that he was kissing me. He broke the kiss first and whispered "Breathe Bella." And I did slowly; my eyes were still closed so I slowly opened them.

"Why did you stop?" I whispered. We were talking like if any of us spoke louder than a whisper that we would scare the other away.

"Listen." He whispered his ice cold lips against my ear, sending shivers down my spine in the good way.

I heard the crunch of a twig behind us. I couldn't help it, I heard the pulse, the slow beating through the main artery in its neck, the smell was almost intoxicating as a vampires.

I couldn't help it I pounced on the deer that happened to, unfortunately, stumble upon this meadow. I sunk my teeth into its neck; the berry nut flavor of the blood was a god send. I never knew I was thirsty until I tasted the blood of this animal.

Animal? Animal! Oh God.

I ripped my teeth out of the withering animal's neck horrified at myself.

I felt Edward's hands on my shoulders. "Bella finish it." He growled in my ear.

"I-I-I c-c-can't," I choked out. I was near tears. He bent over the struggling animal and bit into its neck again. When he pulled away it was lifeless.

"Are you okay?" He asked me.

I shook my head I was definitely not okay.

"Bella its okay, its fine you're becoming a vampire. What surprises me is that you attacked an animal." He told pulling me into a comforting hug. I thought I heard him add "and it was sexy as hell" But I know for a fact he wouldn't say that out loud.

I breathed I survived, I'm fine.

He looked at me and smiled.

"I think we should go." I admitted.

"Only if you promise me you'll come back with me." He said.

"And if I don't?" I asked trying my luck at being flirtatious, trying to forget all about that kiss he gave me, my first real kiss.

"I'll have to…persuade you?" He gave that new favourite smile of mine, the crooked one.

"Well what will my dad have to say about that?" I asked him, I really don't think I could stay conscious if he kissed me again.

"That's not fair." He pouted. I just laughed.

"You'll learn. You have to chase them sometimes." Or not be killed by their dad's either or, anything to keep conscious right now.

"Fine, but I still get to run you home…after you promise me you'll come back with me." He said.

I was having too much fun to let it die now, so I acted like it was a burden with a huge sigh. "Alright, if there is no other way to leave."

"I know what you're trying to do Bella, it isn't working." He said with that smile. And before I could respond, I was on his back and we were running to the Cullen house.

The way back was interesting it got really hot and windy, then it got rainy, then it was hot rain. I was confused until we reached the house.

Chuck was not happy, Melanie was try to calm him, Esme and Carlisle were trying to calm everyone down which they were having issues with because Jasper was very agitated, Emmett was ready to punch someone, Rose was ready to punch Emmett for wanting to punch someone, and little Alice was spaced out, which had Edward concentrating on her thoughts.

I walked over to my dad and mom.

"Mom, what's happening?" I asked trying to keep calm, damn Jasper and his power.

"Well…Chuck don't you dare… Alice saw you and the deer. And know she's been having another vision for about seven minutes now."

After about another minute in which Jasper had to be dragged out of the room, Alice's vision stopped.

"What was that about?" Jasper came back into the room; those two were so tuned to each other it was slightly scary.

"Tanya's clan is coming" Alice admitted to him.

"Ah, hell" Edward said.

An: Yes finished this in a day Woo! High fives all around

Okay now I hide. You probably don't like me right now for that paragraph up there. But I know it's not real and not like that it's just how I picture the story so please don't hurt me.

He He (nervously) not really another cliffy, but I'm not sure as I said in my profile don't know where this is headed so any ideas please leave in a review.

Speaking of reviews, please review, I don't mean to offend anybody, so major sorries.

And it is rated M but it's not M rated yet, well kind of in the depressing M rated kind, warning lemon's are to come eventually.

Thank you,

PS. In case you didn't get the weird weather as they ran home, that was Chuck and his power.
