Authors Note: This is chapter four and this is the one from Edwards's eyes, I couldn't really think of a quote for it so… "Get going, tiger!"

Tête-à-Tête

The last couple of months have been pretty busy. Sitting on the couch, my legs crossed at the ankle watching something stupid on TV. I was pretty bored. Looking around restlessly I watched as my older sister Alice's eyes dulled and she went still. Jasper, her other half sat next to her, tightened his arm around her shoulders. I opened my mind to her thoughts alone and watched transfixed as the scene played out in her mind. It was completely obscured at first and then the blur receded until it was just the outside edges that were morphed into odd blobs of color. There was a man and a woman on a train, bouncing along. The woman I recognized as Amanda, a pretty blonde girl that I used to find disgustingly attractive, but had since gotten over and if the look of the way they were sitting was any indication, she had moved on with her freakishly long vampire life as well. Amanda and Jimmy we'll call him had their heads were bent together and they were whispering softly to each other. Amanda looked scared and her hand moved onto the Jimmy's. She wasn't coming that much I could make out of their whispered conversation. Jimmy disagreed.

"You have to; you got my sister into this. You need to take responsibility for it, and at least try and fix it before our parents find out."

"I can't go right now. I'm not ready! But we'll get her out of this. I know I should have never agreed to it, but I was so scared. I thought-"Jimmy cut her off pulling away from her.
"I know what you thought." The fuzz began to take over the picture again until it was indistinct. I closed my mind off from Alice's, and looked away from her face, waiting, just waiting for someone to ask. That person was exactly who I had thought it would be.

"So? What happened? We can't all be mind reader people, you know?" Emmett my outgoing, fun-loving, bear of a brother,

"Amanda is not coming! She lost her nerve." I grinned; she was infamous for being a flake, though Alice and I were not as open with our opinion of her. She'd been my first real girlfriend and I'd been foolish enough to think I'd actually been in love. I didn't ever want to see her again, and just the prospect that I might have to made me even more serious than my brothers teased me about being. Jasper being and empathy gave me a sharp look at the obvious contradiction my feelings gave to Alice's. Rosalie's snort was not surprising as she'd shown her dislike of Amanda from the beginning. My conclusion was that she threatened. Plain and simple.

"Figures" Rosalie was beautiful, but she was much like Amanda. Statuesque. She was all long blonde hair, and legs. And that's all, so she believed, and when Amanda joined the family believing much the same thing, they were bound to clash. 'Opposites attract' is a two way street. Rose was only half, she needed someone to balance her out and she had him. My brother Em, lightened her serious moods, being goofy and pulling pranks. Alice and Jazz had the same vibe, Alice being short and pixie like was a ball of energy, and Jazz was tall, and seemed to run with the dial jammed on calm. Even our parents had the "thing". Both Carlisle and Esme were both tall blonde, kind and compassionate, but I…I was alone. I had never believed that I would need anyone to take care of me, to make me whole, especially not a woman. Besides I had always enjoyed being alone. I'd always been the odd one out with the exception of the times with Amanda. Even in the looks department. I had weird red brown hair that never seemed to lie flat. I was also the youngest brother which meant that I got the most ribbing. The most popular subject being my love life...or lack thereof.

"Oh, my…" Every head in the room snapped to Alice slumped against the couch and smiling happily around at everyone.

"What is it, dear?" Esme asked, smiling at her daughter.

"Edward is going to find her!" I was shocked but Alice mumbled something, and began searching around for a pen and paper.

"Amanda? Alice if this is one your little schemes-" she looked up from her search, looking into my eyes while her hands still moved

"It's not, it's not. Not technically." Her hand hit a pen and almost too fast for even my eyes to catch up, she was writing something down. I leaned over her shoulder and read. It was an address.

869 Half-Moon Way, London

Alice began bouncing in her seat, her eyes darting around to everyone. She looked at me last, turning around on the couch to stare me straight in the face; her expressive eyes alight with excitement. She folded the paper into a cute little origami crane and placed it gently in my hand, and closed my fingers around it.

"You're going to look for Amanda at this address." I looked down at the paper and back at my sister. She was looking at me rather funny.

"Oh? I'm not really sure I want to go looking for the ex-girlfriend that took my virginity and then cheated on me. Twice!" I hissed. She looked at me like I was crazy.

"You have to, you'll never regret the decision!" she held up three fingers. "Scouts honor!" I sighed wearily looking again from Alice to the paper crane with the address on it, before saying,
"You were never a scout." She pretended that she hadn't heard that comment and looked me dead in my face and I shivered.

"Oh you'll go. And so help me God, if you mess this up, I will personally rip you apart and burn the pieces."Ahhhh, there's the threat. Then Alice smiled innocently and marched out of the room. And there's the smile. A second later, her head popped back into the room.

"What are you waiting for, tiger?" she said before disappearing again.

So here I am…in London…trying to find Amanda. I'd just finished my meal and was about to start running when I picked it up. The scent of a human and the scent of another vampire. Together. I ran. I was faster than the rest of my family but not stronger. Hopefully, I would be strong enough to hold back a vampire who didn't want to feed on humans if that's the case.

Authors Note: I hope you guys liked it. It was the first time I've ever written anything from Edwards Point Of View and if you want to see more let me know. I don't think he's much in character because no matter what the case I don't think Edward would have run off after Amanda or have interfered with another vampire's meal. I don't know, but I'm always open to constructive criticism. That's it. Toodles!

Lotz of Luv,
