Her lie turned the whole Cullen family up side down, the only problem was she left her daughter with them. Edward's POV.
Chapter 2: The school days were back, as we started a new year at a new school just of the eastern coast of Maine. The salty air, but the sea was covering the beautiful aroma of flowers that were just making spring fall. This was a different round for school, us kids were all going to be in high school, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie were juniors, and Alice and I was sophomores, and my daughter was a freshman, because this was her first time going to high school. Jacob just stayed home, because he didn't want to be in school again.
All weekend after the only sighting of the mystery girl, Emmett was teasing me about the mystery girl from the sea. Everyone believed this sighting of this girl, was be on the unknown world. Who probably died drowning in the waters long ago, but her scent burn into my mind? I never came across a scent that was fishy, with salt water breeze of the ocean on any one. The only other person that seen this girl was my daughter, and she was going on about the folk tales of mermaids. What I seen the other day was no tail, but legs, those long prefect legs of this girl. She looked to be sixteen, or maybe a little younger.
"Edward," I looked up to Alice, as she had a weak smile. This was the first time we were attending school again, after the lies that was told to us. We were scared that another human would come in connect with one of us, and do the same thing Bella did. Most of all I was afraid of being around humans again, especially the girls. "Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said, looking around at me siblings, and my child.
"We don't have to do this," Rosalie said, she was the only one in the family that saw though Bella. It hurts to think of the girl that I loved, and the feelings were never return.
"Rosie, if Edward wants to go. Beside we need to start to have a normal life again." Emmett told her. He never was the same, he thought of Bella as a sister, and a friend. Someone that would have fix prefect into our little family, the only good thing out of that relationship was Renesmee. "Besides, maybe this ghost of Edward is attending school."
"She not a ghost, she was real." I said, in a voice that was anger.
"What ever you say, buddy?" Emmett laughed, as he walked out the door holding Rosalie's hand. They were the prefect couple, as the love each other with their hold being. I had that once, but it was a lie in her eyes. "Can you describe the girl again," He challenges me.
"Stop teasing, Edward." Alice snapped at him. We all piled in my car, as we took off for the new day at a new school.
The school was bigger then the normal small school we went through before. Carlisle thought we were do better at a larger school, as there were more students to blend into, less people noticing us. I stepped out side of the car, as the same scent come rushing to my nose, the salty ocean breeze. I looked around, but didn't notice the girl, but her scent was around the school. In the corner of the yard was a girl, sixteen standing under an oak tree, reading a book? Her thoughts were blocked, as I tried to use my gift to see if she was the girl. Her hair was long brown hair with curls along the bottom, as it blew into the wind. I notice her brown eyes through the small frames of her glasses, quiet, unnoticed to the student body. Her clothes were more off a second hand shop, then the nice clothes that were wore by the rest of the students. "Oh, Edward." Alice said I looked over to her with a frown on her pixie like face. "Don't, the quiet girls are the devils." Alice's eyes were just watching me, she seen this, but blocked me out of her mind.
"I know." I said, looking back at the bare oak tree, the girl was gone. But something was different with this girl, but I did the same thing with Bella. I thought she was different, someone I could spend my forever with. I notice through the other's thought they thought the same things with Alice.
After we got into the first few classes, we were at lunch. We found an empty table in the corner. The smell of salty water filled the air, again. "Alice, do you smell that?" I asked in vampire speed.
"What?" Rosalie asked. Alice shook her head no. "What do you smell? Another vampire."
"No, it's like a salty ocean breeze." I said. I looked around the room, like out side. This brown hair girl was sitting in the back of the room, just reading a book. Her eyes were glue to the page, as she sipped on a bottle of water. I notice there weren't any sign of a tray filled with food in front of her.
"Are you smelling this ghost of yours," Emmett added in with a laugh, only to be smacked by my sister.
"Emmett, this isn't funny. Edward is going crazy, if this was probable." Jasper said. "His emotions are not all there."
"Thanks," I glared at him. We notice that my daughter was sitting in a group of peer. She was enjoying her break, making new friends. She was the only one of us, that didn't feel the anger with Bella, trusting another human.
"Who's that girl in the corner?" Renesmee said. She was just like her mother, a little noisy about others. But I wanted to know as well. I watch as the girls looked over at the brown hair in the corner.
"This Meranda Roberts, she moved her about a year ago from Hawaii. Her father works for the local zoo, working with the sea creatures." One of the girls said.
"Oh, and she just keeps to her self. Nobody had seen her with a friend; I invited her to eat with us last year. But I think she a mute, never talking." the other girl said. I felt like it was years ago, as Bella was asking about us, but this girl was different. Something was telling me that this was a cover story to her true world.
"What about her mother?" Renesmee asked.
"Her mother was killed in a shark attach, I think that why they moved here." The girl frowned, looking over to the brown hair girl. The table was empty as the girl was gone, just like this morning. Maybe she knew someone was on to her, but I wouldn't want to have her leave school. She probably not the girl from the ocean, she was different then the weeping girl, I came across a few days ago.
I walk slower then a normal human, as I thought of the girl in the water, mystery to me. I couldn't get my head out of that thought, wondering why she would cry. What made the girl in tears? I walked into the next class, how ironic as I walked up to the teacher. It's funny that that girl was in this class, and I was going to sit next to her. Her scent was salty, ocean breeze, as the scent was the same as the girl in the ocean.
She didn't even look up to see that he had a new partner in the class. I heard the others thoughts. "Why is the new kid sitting with a freak." or "boy his in trouble with the grades?" The girl was just reading, all I seen her do was read alone some where. I looked over to her, and notice a small tattoo on the side of her neck. The greenish blue glittered in the light of a small dew drop that you see after a rain storm.
"Hello," I said in a soft voice. She looked up to me with shock in her face, was someone like her not use to people talking to her. "I'm Edward." I smiled small, as she just stared into my eyes. I was confuse did she have a voice, or she was mute like others thought she was. I felt the tables were turned around, because she eyes were just the brown as Bella's eyes, and her face was heart shaped. Was she just here to bring the pain into my dead heart? Someone remind me what I had lost years ago.
She took a piece of paper and wrote something, before showing me, "Leave me alone." I was shock that she wouldn't even want to be friends. I was being friendly to her, and she was just ruining a good friendship. I knew I told myself I wouldn't befriend a human again. But this girl was something that I want to find out.
That night after school, I walked along the shoreline, looking for the girl in the ocean. I wanted to know if she was someone that was haunting my mind. Then I heard it, the soft sobs of a girl, crying out in pain. I looked out to the rocks, as the girl was there looking at me for help. Her eyes locked with mine as her stood up from the rock diving into the sea, never coming up for air. Her skin was shiny into the ray of light that pecked out of the clouds. Her hair was long blond clinging to her nude body. I wasn't to go to her, save her from the water of the sea. Her body was lost somewhere under the waters, and her spirit was calling out for help. To me, she was a soul that was lost, looking too passed on into the after life. She wasn't a mermaid; she was a ghost, haunting along the sea shore.
