Chapter 3: If you just knew what they could do...
Bella Pov
I tripped up. My second day here and I tripped up! I laid in bed and thought about what had happened.
-Flashback-
Such messy handwriting. I clicked my tongue at the work. Although it was one of my older groups it was very messy. I had pushed all the desks back last period to have some time for role play. So far I hadn't messed up once and I was almost praising myself. Almost. I heard the door open slowly and I didn't look up.
"Miss Swan, how come you are arranging a music class and yet...you are not a music teacher?" I could feel his eyes on my back as I turned over and rested on my elbows. Not an easy job in a pencil skirt I can tell you. I looked at him and sub-consciously took my glasses off and twirled them between my fingers. I looked him up and down. He was wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Black trousers and some black shoes. His hair was dishevelled in a way that couldn't be achieved unnaturally. His eyes were a wonderful green that seemed to shimmer and shine at me and his lips were pulled into a smirk.
"Because I love music, and I wanted to. I've met you but I have no idea what you name is....care to inform me?" I smirked right back at him. He seemed to lose concentration for a moment before replying.
"Well, it's school policy to have a teacher in that area of subject helping...and unless you already have someone I may have to report you and...It's Edward, Edward Cullen." He smiled at me and I noted how he was pretty much perfect in every way. I began to consider some things but stopped myself. I almost felt my eyes darken slightly as I began to get annoyed at him. I stood up and put my glasses on top of my head and leant with one hand on the desk. I leant forward slightly and looked up into his emerald eyes. Again he seemed to lose a little bit of concentration.
"Well Mr. Cullen. I think you'll find that I'm just as qualified as you having been in a...." I choked up. I'd almost spilled my secret...I stopped myself and quickly hid inside. I backtracked on the conversation to see if I possibly had given anything else away. I couldn't let anyone know...especialy this bronze god.
"What were you about to say? Are you all right, Bella?" Edward asked, putting a hand on my shoulder. When he touched my I felt a shock of fear ripple through my body but I hid it quickly and brushed his hand away. I took a deep breathe, drew myself to my full height and looked up at him with confidence.
"Nothing, I wasn't going to say anything. Of course I'm all right. Will you help me with the club? As you said I don't want to get reported in my first week here." I smiled, trying to look persuasive. Edward's eyes widened and he instantly replied.
"Sure. Why not."
-End Flashback-
I sighed and rubbed my eyes. Giving away my secret now would end me...I looked at the clock next to me. 3:33am.I groaned and got out of bed. I wrapped my dressing gown around me and went to the kitchen. I looked around slowly. Nothing really interesting. Wood cupboards, painted yellow. Table in the middle, wooden worktops. I quickly made some cocoa and walked about side to the back yard. There was a path in the far left corner of the yard that lead into the woods. I walked down the path and just down it there was a fallen tree. It was just back from the path so it was hidden.
Edward POV
I walked down the path, hands in my pockets. It was a cold night but this didn't effect me. I had my thick woolly jacket on. The trees around me were swaying slightly and the moon was shining on the wood, giving it an eerie glow. It was the kind of night that you expected things to happen on. I walked down the path slowly, taking breathes of pure fresh air. The reason why I loved this path was because there was never anyone there. It was pretty un known, so I was always the only one walking along it.
I was thinking about Bella Swan. What is the world had she possibly been about to say? She was defiantly hiding something from everyone. But what could it possibly be...I wanted to find out but I knew she wouldn't let me in. To her I was just a stranger. Someone that gave easily under her charm.
Suddenly I heard singing,
The question asked in order
to save her life or take it
The answer no avoided death
and yes would make it
Do you believe in god?
Is written on the bullet.
Say yes to pull the trigger
and my sister Cassie pulled it.
I looked around but I couldn't see where it was coming from. I knew the song though, it was one of my favourites. Cassie by Flyleaf...but it was the acoustic version and not many people liked it. I didn't know who was singing or where from but it was wonderful. Her voice, for it was a she, was beautiful. Better then Lacey Mosley who actually sung the originally.
They didn't love their lives so much
as to shrink from death
Inspired in their deaths
we will march ahead
Don't be shocked that people die
Be surprised you're still alive
I began to walk faster down the pace, looking for this voice. I turned a corner in it and it seemed to get louder but still I couldn't see anyone around me.
All heads are bowed in silent reverence
The floor is wet with tears of
sorrowful remembrance
The alter is filling with hearts of repentance
Perfect love kills all fear
Rejoice in this deliver-
Suddenly in stopped and I heard a sharp intake of breathe. I was getting annoyed now...why couldn't I see this person. I stopped and stood still. Listening to the sounds around me. The trees, the wind and most importantly listening for the sound of her breathe. Damn it, I thought to myself...I can't hear her breathing. Sighing, I decided to leave. I began to walk back down the path, treading lightly and still listening.
I looked back and I saw a flash of brown hair disappearing down the a different path. I saw a something fly from her hand and hit the pace. I ran back and picked it up, looking around for her. But she had already gone. I looked at the mug and realised it had her name on it. Bella's Mug it said it bold red letters. I smiled and put it in my pocket...things were about to get interesting.
