Chapter 6: Unusual Feeling
Edwards POV:
I was coming out of my room when I heard Esme greet Isabella and Charlie at the door. Geez, she still looks the same as she did two years ago. Charlie thought, obviously he meant Esme. I laughed silently, then tried to hear Isabella's thoughts. But I got nothing and it was starting to frustrate me.
Once I had made it downstairs all three of them were coming in. I glanced over to see that Isabella was staring at me, just like she had the other day at lunch, but there was something different in her eyes. The look of nervousness was mixed with something I couldn't quite describe. I tried to read her mind again, in hope of figuring out why she was looking at me like that. Still finding that I couldn't hear her thoughts, I started to frown. She suddenly looked down at her feet, her cheeks starting to flush, and started to walk a bit faster. Then she tripped over nothing.
I instinctively caught her before she fell on her face. The look on her on her face turned redder as I steadied her. "Th-thanks," She mumbled looking down at her feet once again.
"You're welcome," I said, trying to figure out what was going on with my emotions. With just that one touch so much had went through me. So much that the smell of her blood was the last thing on my mind. I had never had this feeling before and...well to be honest, it was shocking. After that incident, Charlie, Isabella, Esme, and I walked into the living room where Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Carlisle were.
"Isabella, I believe you know Emmett, Alice, Jasper and Rosalie," Esme said motioning to each of them as she said their name. All of them smiled, except for Rosalie-who was thinking about how much prettier she was than Isabella. I let out a small growl, and she just glared at me. Stop listening and you'll be much happier loverboy. Loverboy?! What was she talking about? Esme continued as Rosalie and I were feuding, "This is my husband, Carlisle, and you and Edward seem to have also met." Esme then smiled at me, her eyes glowing with happiness. See, I told you that you could handle this. I smiled back at her.
"Well, it's nice to um... see you guys again?" Isabella said, obviously struggling to find the right words.
"It's good to see you, too," Everyone said simultaneously. "Well, then I take it you found out about us being... vampires?" Carlisle asked, though knowing the answer.
Isabella gave a weak smile, "Yep, I hope you guys don't mind..."
"Well, it's fine by us, I just hope you're fine with it. I mean, we are vampires."
"Oh, well Alice said you wouldn't harm anyone, but I know I still need to be careful, But other than that I'm not too worried." She said truthfully. I, along with everyone else in my family stared at her in shock. Alice was the first one to come out of the shocked stage.
"Well that's good!" Alice said in her cheerful manner. "But before we go into vampire discussion, lets just sit and catch up for ol' time sakes."
"Alright," Charlie said in agreement, and everyone nodded around. Rosalie, on the other hand just rolled her eyes. We all spread out through the room; Esme, Carlisle, and Charlie went and sat on the oversized couch, while the rest of us went and sat down at our large table. Alice had Isabella sit inbetween her and I. I was still trying to figure out what was going on with my emotions when Alice started talking. "So, Bella, what are you into?"She was acting a little too innocent. I finally averted my attention to what was going through Alice's mind, but it was blocked again. Damn. Since my attempt to find out that way wasn't going to work, I focused more on the conversation.
"Well... um... I mainly like to read and listen to music," Isabella sighed and blushed again. "I'm not very interesting..." You got that right, Rosalie thought. I growled once more.
"Of course you are, Bella. We have a wonderful library here, and Edward has a huge music collection." Alice looked over at me and smiled, "Hey Edward, why don't you go and show her them?" I glared at Alice's sweet and innocent smile then I noticed Isabella staring at me.
I sighed, "Sure, why not." We both stood up from the table and she followed me up to our library. I had to walk at human-pace, which was very slow, so she could keep up. Before we got to the library, Isabella started mumbling to herself, in attempt to keep me from hearing. But with my impeccable hearing, I heard every word. "He doesn't have to do this. He hates me as it is, but why?" Isabella mumbled. Wait! She thinks I hate her? How'd she get that idea?
"Bella, I don't hate you." I stopped suddenly and turned to look at her. She looked back into my eyes and started to say something again, but I cut her off. "Why do you think I hate you?"
