Her mouth was open as if to say something. She closed it back up and looked into the golden eyes. Hurt was bulging out of her eyes. Why did you say that? He thought to himself. He placed a chilled hand on her and gently rubbed the top with his thumb.
"Look," he said, "you don't have to yell me. If you are not comfortable with telling me then that's okay. But just remember," Come on, Edward, More sympathy! More compassion! Feel it!! Élan almost screamed. "I'm here for you. I'll listen... to your problems. He stood up from the bed and walked over to the door.
"Your gift is to read minds, right?" she whispered. He stopped in his path.
"I could hear thoughts, yes." he answered. End it there, Edward, don't be nosy. He thought. He put his hand on the door knob when a slight whisper crossed his mind. "Thank you" it said. He smiled and walked out of the room, closing it behind him. He walked to the living room and stooped at the doorframe, leaning on it.
"Is she being the big baby she always has been?" Jaiden said continuing to play his game.
"You know, you shouldn't be so hard on her. She's a good kid."
"Don't tell me how to treat my own creation."
"Why do you-" Jaiden cut him off.
"If you're going to stay here, you could have the room, 2nd to the right. I don't want to hear what you were about to say; so you are excused, Edward." the whole time his eyes didn't even shift from the TV.
Edward shrugged off the subject and walked to the room he was given.
That night, Edward was lying on the bed he had no use for just staring at the ceiling. There were invisible marks he stared daggers at with his full fledged boredom. All he could think about was the beautiful young girl in the next room. He was resisting the urge for a long time now and his marble muscles ached at having them so tense. After hours of lying motionless on the bed he finally got up and looked out the window.
The night sky was perfect. The forest had a nice glow the moon gave off and the sky had billions of stars glowing brightly throughout the whole night. In forks he couldn't usually see the stars because the massive amount of clouds in the sky, but he did occasionally see them and they brought out the kid inside of him.
He quietly opened the window and slipped outside, taking in the beautiful night breeze. Was walked to one of the trees and climbed it at lightning speed. He grabbed a thick branch, and threw it across the forest quickly chasing it. He laughed as he did this for about an hour and until he felt like it was midnight.
He walked at a normal pace back to the cabin and stopped once he got there and saw someone on the roof. It was a girl with a thin silky dress. Her blonde hair glowed in the moonlight as she stood atop the wooden roof, staring at the moon. The girl started to twirl around on the roof, majestically dancing to the hum of an ancient song that filled the night. The anonymous dancer continued to sway her body in a perfect flow, barely missing the edge of the roof.
Edward stealthy climbed the roof and stood behind the girl. Once the girl turned around, Edwards jaw dropped. It was Charlotte. Her eyes were closed as she continued to twirl around. He sat on the roof, just behind her and watched, not saying a word. Not interrupting the beauty.
She stopped humming and looked up towards the sky. "You're so different, yet beautiful. People love you for your looks, but do they love you for what you are?" She asked the moon. Edward shifted in his seat on the uncomfortable beams. The wood make a creaking sound and Charlotte snapped her head around covering her body that was only in a thin nightgown. Her cheeks picked up a red tint as she noticed who it was.
"Hi, Edward!" she blushed even brighter and smiled brightly waving one free hand while the other still covered her breasts.
"Hello, Charlotte. What are you doing here?"
Charlotte sat on the roof and slung her legs over the edge. "I like full moons."
"Oh, what were you humming? It was very pretty. And, your dancing was beautiful." Edward commented, feeling awkward. Charlotte turned and blushed even brighter.
"Thank you. The song is and old lullaby my mom used to sing to me when I was a baby."
"Oh, when was that? It sounds old."
She giggled and turned completely to face him. "It's not very old. My mom got it from my grandmother and she wrote it in Latin."
Curiosity hit him again, "How old are you?" he asked.
She smiled again, "Twenty. You?"
"Ninety." He said as if ashamed. "Wait so- you're new."
"Yes, I was changed about four years ago."
"So your mom is still here?" he asked, curiosity pulsing through every vein.
"She died two years ago." She looked at her fingers and looked as if she were about to cry. "Out of hatred for me." Edward was speechless. She continued, "She was stuck in an insane asylum for believing in vampires, after I told her I was one. She attacked me with a wooden stick and wore garlic around her neck. I loved her though, but then she began to hate me for being a 'demon'. Then she died, I don't know how, but I asked the place she was held at and they said she died. I didn't cry. I couldn't." she was on the verge of tears. Edward moved closer and placed a hand on hers.
"It not your fault, you know," he comforted her, "It just happens and we can't do anything about it. It's okay." He hugged her and she leaned on his shoulder.
"Do you know why I'm different from everyone?" She asked, her voice clearing up.
"You're a vampire. You're supposed to be different from every one." He smiled at the obvious response.
"No," she pulled away, "Why I'm even different from vampires. Well, I don't know exactly what I am, but I know I'm different. I don't need blood." she said, staring into the deep golden eyes. "I like it but I don't need it like Jaiden."
"How?" he couldn't believe it. How could a vampire live without blood? "How long can you live without it?"
She's not a vampire! Suck her dry! Kade shouted
"As long as I want. The longest I have gone without it was a tear. When I first, changed." she said still smiling. She continued after seeing Edward's confused expression change to shock. "It's weird. I don't know why I'm different, I just am." She paused and looked back at the moon. "Can you sleep?" She asked, staring straight into his eyes.
The question caught Edward off guard but he laughed at the thought. The last time he had slept was almost a century ago. "No, I can't" he stopped laughing when he didn't hear her chiming voice ring through the night.
"I have to. I actually need to sleep or I don't have energy to move; like a human."
"Are you even a vampire? There has to be a reason why you could sleep." He thought deeply. He had no clue.
"Edward," she said softly, grabbing his hand and wrapping it around her waist, grabbing the other and placing it over her chest. Edward's nerves were going wild. He had only gotten this close to Bella.
"Yes." He managed to choke out with out his nervous voice being revealed. She got even closer until their faces were really close and their breaths mingled. "My heart beats." she said and pulled away, her laughter lighting up the night. Edward let out a quiet sigh of relief. Thank goodness! He thought Wait - WHAT!
"How des that happen?" he asked "I mean your dead"
"I told you I was different." she said calming down. "Jaiden told me he made a mistake in converting my body, blah blah, I don't know. But I've wanted to find out what my gift is, if I even have one." She looked into Edwards eyes.
A cold breeze swept in and Charlotte shivered at the decrease in temperature. Edward scooted closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. She leaned on his hard chest and closer her eyes.
Say something nice, Edward! She's in your hands and I know u like her. Élan said calmly.
I do not! He thought refusing
Oh please! I'm in your fucking mind! I know what you want. Just tell her something nice he said convincingly
Or you could just suck her dry Kade chimed in
No he thought flatly
Why do you only listen to Élan! That fucking queer is too hippie like. Love man peace. Kade said perfectly imitating a hippie.
Fuck you, Kade. Élan said leaving Edward with his own thoughts.
"Your not different," Edward said soothingly, "You're special"
She curled up closer to him and whispered into his mind Thank you.
Her breathing steadied out and Edward picked her up with no trouble at all, and crept her back into her room. He placed her on the bed and watched her, as he used to watch Bella. He stayed next to her, sitting on her vanity stool and watched her chest rise and fall steadily, remembering Bella.
