This Chapter is just Edward's POV from Chapter's 5 and 6, but it's cute, and a little sad.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, although I used a lot of quotes from the Book/Movie in this Chapter.
I have a snow day tomorrow and no school monday. YAY! :D So more writing. :P!
Anyways,
On To Chappy!
Chapter 7
Edward's POV.
Finally we found Carlisle's first aid kit. When we saw it hidden under a plane part, (it looked like a part of the wing) Carlisle's face lit up like a child in a toy store.
"Aha!" He said happily.
"Yay…" I muttered, "Can we please go back to Bella now?"
He chuckled. "Yes, yes, you really love her don't you?"
If I was human I would have blushed.
"Thought so." Carlisle thought.
"Well, I-" I was cut off by a plane in the distance going the opposite way from us, followed by a splash.
"Bella!" I screamed as I ran toward Bella in vampire speed.
When we got back to the beach I looked out into the water and saw the horror. Bella was out there, a least one hundred feet out.
I gasped and I was sure if my heart was beating it would have failed.
"Bella!" I sobbed as I dashed into the water. I saw her go under, but not come up.
Carlisle was right behind me, but I didn't even notice him.
When I reached Bella she was barely breathing, I scooped her out of the water and basically flew on top of the water toward Carlisle, now on shore.
I watched in horror as Carlisle tried to beat the water out of Bella. Tearless sobs were erupting in my throat.
"Please breathe Bella." I whispered to her, while stroking her hair.
As if on cue she gasped for air, which followed choking up gallons of sea water.
"Bella!" My voice cracked as I yelled.
Carlisle let out a relived sigh.
I waited for Bella to be done coughing. Finally she stopped but she still seemed to look aghast.
"Say something please?!" I asked, frantic.
"Y…Your skin…" Bella gasped.
I looked down at my arms hugging Bella protectively.
The sun had come out.
Sure enough, my monstrous skin was sparkling away.
No. No. No!!
"Oh dear…"Carlisle thought.
"Bella… Please, say something." I said desperately.
She just stared in shock.
"Bella?" I asked again.
"Give her time, she'll come around."Carlisle thought. I sent him a frantic glance.
"I…you…" She rambled, I couldn't understand it.
"Edward…You're… beautiful…" She said as she traced her finger along my arm.
What…
What!!
"What do you mean beautiful?!" I hissed, "This is the skin of a monster!"
"Edward, Bella doesn't know. Don't get angry." Carlisle said aloud, trying to calm me down. But that made me angrier. Why was Bella out in the water anyway, after I specifically told her to stay under the shelter!
"Speaking of me getting angry," I spat "I thought I told you to stay under the shelter! You could have died Bella!"
"Relax!"Carlisle thought angrily
"There was a plane…" She choked out, in obvious pain
I tear rolled down her cheek.
A tear.
I. Made. Her. Cry.
Agony ripped through my heart.
Without thinking I pulled her in the tightest hug I could without breaking her bones.
"No Bella! Please don't cry! I was just worried about you; I didn't want you to get hurt. Please don't cry." I begged.
She sniffled but hugged me back. I inhaled her wonderful scent, but I didn't even think about her blood, I just almost lost her.
"Why is your skin so… beatif-" Bella stopped herself, trying not to make my angry again I guess. "Er… I mean, like that?"
I sighed; I knew I would have to tell her now.
I suppose it's time to tell her?" I asked Carlisle.
He nodded.
I sighed again.
"Alright then." I said.
Please don't be afraid of me.
We walked over toward the shelter. Bella was stumbling a lot, why didn't I carry her, ugh I'm so dense.
"Just tell her, don't beat around the bush. Just say it." I took his advice.
"Bella. Carlisle, my family, and I are vampires." I said as calmly as I could manage.
I waited for the screaming…
She had the most peculiar look on her face, I wondered if she was still focusing. It wasn't a frightened look, it was just odd.
She let out one chuckle, but she winced, I was sure her throat hurt. Carlisle thought the same, because he handed her some water.
"You don't believe me." I said smirking a little.
"Um, well. I would have believed a strange skin condition just as much, but you can continue." She said.
"Why didn't I think of that?"Carlisle thought.
We both laughed. Bella blushed that wonderful scarlet color.
"I mean it though, want a demonstration?" I asked.
"Uh, sure." Bella said confused.
"Alright, Carlisle, race me to that rock and back?" I said a little smug.
"Of course." He said, just as smug.
"Go!" He thought, and we both took off.
Naturally I passed him; I was faster than the others.
"Show off." He muttered.
I laughed, because he was right.
Just to prove myself, and show off a little more, I picked up the big rock when I reached it and sped back towards Bella.
She was shocked, but still not afraid. Was there something wrong with her?
Did she not understand how easy I could kill her?
"Believe us now?" I asked.
She nodded weakly.
I decided since she already believed it, why not show her more?
I scooped her up bridal style and ran up the tallest tree on the island.
She stared at me, amazed. Still not scared.
After awhile of silence she finally asked.
"Do you guys like… drink blood and stuff?"
"Yes, we have too, in order to have energy. But we drink animal blood, not humans. But, we do tend to… Slip up." I said the last part slowly.
She shivered, finally a rational response.
"Are you afraid?" I asked, I had to know.
She thought about it as she ran her finger down my cheek, her warm touch made me want to hug her again, but I waited patiently.
"I'm… only afraid of losing you." She whispered.
At first it made my angry, I wasn't safe. But soon it made my heart soar; I loved her more then ever at that moment.
Carlisle and I informed Bella almost all we knew about vampires that night; she seemed content with all the information.
Soon she got tired and fell asleep.
I was quietly talking to Carlisle when I heard a little voice.
"Edward…" Bella said more clearly.
"Hmm?"
"Don't….forget…the salad!"
I gave a worried glace to Carlisle but he just laughed.
"I think she's talking in her sleep."
"Oh…"
"Edward… sparkly…"
We both laughed. This would be an interesting night.
"I love…. Edward."
I gasped. Did she really love me?!
I jumped up in pure joy and ran around the island for the heck of it.
Seconds later I came back because I didn't want to miss anything.
"I love you Edward." She said clearly, in her sleep.
"I love you too Bella, forever." I murmured.
