Chapter 22

BPOV

My eyes popped open and I looked up into Edward's surprised face.

"How do you feel, love?" he asked cautiously as I sat up and looked around the room. I didn't answer him because everything was so much clearer now. I could see things for miles that I normally would have missed. My hearing had seemed to improve also because I would hear some noises from outside the house. My throat still burned and I looked back to him. When our eyes met he smiled but he still looked concerned because I hadn't answered his question yet.

Why isn't she answering me? She looks beautiful. I wonder if she feels ok. I could hear Edward's smooth voice saying these words but his lips weren't moving. I put my hands on either side of his face and I looked curiously into his eyes. His skin felt warm under my hands. Why isn't she talking? He said again without his lips moving.

How do you do that, Edward?I thought. This time he had a confused look and he reached up to my hands and held them.

"Bella? Did I just read your thoughts?" he asked me, his eyes never leaving mine.

"I… I don't know. How are you talking without ever moving your lips?"

What is she talking about? I'm not talking. I'm thinking. Wait… Bella, nod if you can hear me. He thought and I slowly nodded my head.

"Amazing." He said. "Now think of something."

My throat burns.He waited and didn't say anything.

"Could you hear that?" I asked him.

"No, what were you thinking?"

"I said my throat burns." He nodded and then looked off out the window in deep thought. His eyes lit up and he looked back at me.

"Think something but direct it at me." he instructed.

Edward, I love you. I thought simply. His face broke into a smile.

"I heard that. Just think 'I love you' but don't say my name this time."

I love you. I said again but I didn't add Edwards name to it.

"Did you think it yet?" I nodded and he closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I think that your power is mind speaking and mind reading."

I raised my eyebrows and I waited for him to continue.

"Well, love, I think that I can't hear your thoughts unless you direct them towards me by adding my name. And you can also hear other people's thoughts. I think that you got that from me." he explained proudly.

"Well isn't that interesting." I said slowly and then I stood up. I wasn't wobbly like before when I was a human and I would walk without tripping over my own feet. I looked over at Edward who had an amused expression on his face as I ran around the room and didn't fall once.

Just as I was about to pass the mirror I stopped and stared at what was now me. I gasped as I saw my beauty. I wasn't trying to be vain but I was much prettier than before. My already pale skin had gotten even lighter and all of my features had become more prominent and defined. I was now very curvy and muscular. My mousy brown hair was now shiny and had some wave to it. I was happy with everything except my eyes. They were a bright red color and I thought that they would be the beautiful topaz color like Edwards. I decided to try my mind speaking power. I tuned into Edwards thoughts before. I was curious as to what he thought of the new me.

She is very sexy. She is even more beautiful than before. But she still smells the same as when she was a human. This is interesting. He thought as I continued to stare into the mirror.

Edward, so I look sexy? I teased as a smile crossed his face.

"Ah… I forgot that you could read minds." He said coming over to me and picked me up.

Edward, do I really smell the same as before? I asked as he sat on the bed with me cradled in his lap.

"Yes. Well actually it's stronger now. But to answer your question from before, you are extremely sexy as your new vampire self."

"But why are my eyes so red. I don't like it." I told him and he smoothed my hair with his hands.

"You're a newborn. Your eyes will stay like that for at least a year. And they don't look bad." He said as his hand ran over my eye lid. I wonder if she'll need to go hunting soon. He thought and I smirked at him.

"Yes. I need to go hunting. My throat burns. I can't stand it much longer." He rolled his eyes and smiled at me.

"How will I ever get used to that?" He said putting me down and walking outside as I followed him. He shook his head and then stepped into the sunlight. I let my eyes adjust to the light change and I watched him as he glistened. "It's ok. No one will see you but me." he said encouraging me to step out into the sun. I stuck my hand outside of the shadow and it glittered like Edward. I flipped it over and then pulled it back into that shadows. I took a deep unnecessary breath and I stepped out of the shadows and into the sun. My skin glistened like it had millions of little crystals embedded into it.

I smiled hugely at Edward and he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the tropical jungle with him. I looked over at Edward and realized that we were running. I looked at the jungle as we passed and it all blurred together. I was able to run so gracefully and I didn't trip over anything. I was able to run with Edward and then I tried to go faster. I brought up the speed and then Edward wasn't next to me anymore. I smiled proudly at myself and then I caught the smell of something absolutely delicious. I stopped running and waited for Edward to join me.

"Wow, you're fast." He complemented. I sniffed the air again and smiled fiercely at him.

"What's that delicious smell?" I asked looking around and trying to catch the scent. Edward sniffed the air and turned me in the right direction. We began to run together and suddenly he stopped. I could hear some kind of animal moving just behind a few trees.

We have to be quiet now so that we don't scare off the deer. So think all of your thoughts at me and I will tell you exactly what to do. He thought to me.

Edward, ok. I'll follow you. I mind spoke back to him. He nodded and slowly walked through the trees and stalked up behind a deer. I followed him silently and the smell of the deer's blood filled my nostrils.

So do you notice how I come up silently from behind? I nodded as he looked over his shoulder at me. I am going to kill this one for you and then you can drink it. You attack from the side and then tackle it to the ground. Then sink your teeth into its neck. Watch carefully.

I watched as Edward slowly crept up behind it and then instantly had it on its side with his teeth in its neck. He did it in slow motion for me so that I could study his form. He moved away from the deer and gestured for me to come and drink the blood. I sunk my teeth into its neck and drank deeply from it. I completely drained it and Edward picked up a tree.

"Put the deer under here." He told me. I picked its limp body up and placed it under the tree and Edward replanted the tree on top of it. I looked at him curiously. "You must get rid of the animal's body. It attracts suspicion if there is no blood left in it. You may hid it under a tree or bury it." He told me. That one deer wasn't enough and Edward knew this.

"So do I get to hunt it this time?" I asked him. I really wanted to try and I was still really thirsty.

"Sure, love. Can you pick up a scent of a deer?" I sniffed the air and I caught a delicious smell but it wasn't the same scent. I turned in a new direction and I picked it up. I looked at Edward eagerly and he nodded. I took off in a sprint and stopped a few feet from the deer. The venom was dripping off my teeth and I swallowed it as I moved to the side of the deer.

Now get closer. Good. It hasn't noticed you yet. Now pounce on it and get it on its side. Now bite it. Good, love! That was excellent. He thought as I made my first kill. This went on for several hours and then finally the ache in the back of my throat was gone.

"Thanks, Edward." I said as we stopped outside the house. I pulled him into a hug and then kissed him. This time there were no boundaries and we went farther than we had ever gone before. We both pulled away with ragged breaths. We smiled and then went into the house to change into out bathing suits. I raced him down to the water and won. We spent the rest of the day there and eventually it was night.

Time did seem to pass faster when you were a vampire. I was still trying to get used to the mind reading and the new high senses. Edward was doing his best to not think but sometimes he couldn't help it. I didn't mind hearing his thoughts but he didn't want to overwhelm me.

I could tell that there was something that he was keeping from me though because he would begin to think about it and then block it by thinking something else unimportant.

"So what exactly are you trying to keep away from me?" I asked with a grin.

He sighed. "I thought that I was doing a better job and you wouldn't notice. But I guess that you'll find out anyway." I smiled and crawled into his lap. Even though vampires couldn't sleep, Edward said that it was natural for me to get tired easily. I would just have to rest and then I would feel better. I put my head on his chest.

"Who's coming to visit, Edward?" I closed my eyes and breathed deeply.

"Our family." He said with a sigh.

"Really?" I asked. I could feel my entire face light up.

"Are you ok with that? I didn't want them to come because I didn't want you to feel overwhelmed by them." He admitted guilty.

"Honey, I love our family. I'm sure that them being here with us will be fine. There aren't any malls around here though, right?" I added with a smile.

"Of course not. But don't give Alice any ideas. She might want to build one." He said chuckling. I shuddered at the idea.

"Where are they coming?"

"In two days." He looked into my eyes as I smiled wickedly at him. "What?" he asked suddenly confused by my change in attitude.

"Well, we have a lot to do then in two days if we won't be alone." His smiled quickly turned wicked like mine and we had a night of no boundaries what so ever and did things that were never possible if I were still a human.
