Chapter 7
Figure Out and Understand

EPOV

The way those dark brown eyes hypnotize me the minute I look in them is disturbing.

Then all of a sudden everyone is standing in my doorway and the girl jumps out of the bed and goes to the corner.

"Calm down. We aren't going to hurt you. My name's Carlisle"

Then she turned to look at me, as if asking if it was okay to trust Carlisle.

"It's okay" I said to her.

She nodded.

"Can you speak?" asked Carlisle.

"My name's Rose"

That name suits her. Her beauty. That of a beautiful red Rose.

"Okay Rose, can you tell us what happened to you?"

She shook her head. "I can't remember anything. The only thing I know is my name"

"Edward" said Carlisle, looking at me. "Can you read her thoughts?"

I shook my head.

"Okay" he said.

"Rose, how do you feel right now?"

"Kind of disoriented, and confused, and hungry"

I smiled. I didn't think she'd have time to think about hunger with all her injuries.

"That's normal" said Carlisle "Do you mind if I approach you and check your injuries?"

Rose looked confused. "I have injuries?"

"Yes, I'm a doctor Rose. I just want to make sure that you've healed alright"

I saw her look around her body and then look at me.

Her eyes were asking, again if she could trust Carlisle. So I nodded.

"Okay Carlisle"

"Please lay down Rose. don't worry it won't take long. Esme, can you please bring me my medical bag?"

Then I saw Rose turn to Esme. She was looking at her up and down. Probably drawn to her beauty as all humans were.

But I couldn't think of anyone's beauty but hers.

She was breathtaking.

When Esme left I saw Rose looking at the others standing in the doorway.

I could tell they were being very careful and guarded.

Their thoughts were screaming negativity.

They were concerned of what it would mean for us sheltering a human in this house.

Carlisle was thinking the same, but also his protective, caring nature was debating his protection for his own family.

When I looked at Rose, I was trying to find the voice of her thoughts. Trying to probe her mind to give me something. Anything.

"What are you doing?" she asked me.

"I'm sorry" I said.

I was looking into her eyes. They softened a little. Only just.

I wondered why.

Ugh! That's what I hated. Wondering. Guessing. Not having anything to know…it was and still is frustrating.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Edward. My name's Edward"

She smiled and I felt all calm and slightly warm on the inside.

"That's a nice name"

"Thank you"

Still I was uncomfortable being here. Her blood still called out to me.

She was doing weird things to me. She was completely different than Bella and that said a lot and not as much.

"Did I do something wrong?" she turned to Carlisle.

"No Rose, why would you say that?"

She looked to me and said to Carlisle, "Because he looks super uncomfortable being here right not"

So she noticed. I didn't give anything away of that I was sure. So how did she notice? She reminded me of Bella. She always saw through my pretenses. And now so can this girl.

I looked away from her, outside the window.

I couldn't let this girl have this weird affection on me. Not when I was so confused.

"Edward, please son. Control yourself. I know you can"

"He's fine Rose, for now let's worry about you"

Esme than appeared in the room handing Carlisle his medical bag.

Her thoughts on Rose were less similar to everyone else. She thought Rose was pretty. That she looked intelligent. She also thought that she knew her from somewhere but couldn't recall where.

She was also comparing her to Bella.

Why?

"You're really pretty" said Rose.

"Thank you. So are you"

She blushed and the color of her pink cheeks complimented her tan skin.

Making her look beautiful.

"Thank you" she said.

Esme nodded happily. "Would you like something to eat or drink Rose?"

"I think I'll just have some water right now. Thank you Esme"

She nodded and left the room.

"Who are they" asked Rose as she turned to Carlisle.

He smiled when he saw who she was talking about.

"Those are my other children" he said.

"Wow. How any children do you have?" she asked with a little eagerness.

"Five" he said.

Then she looked at the others by the door. She was looking at them up and down. But not in a bad way. Just maybe trying to get past that shock most humans get when they see us.

"What are your names?"

They didn't want to answer. But then again they didn't want to make Rose suspicious.

"I'm Emmett"

"I'm Alice"

"I'm Jasper" he was uncomfortable being here. He didn't have control around human blood as the rest of us did. But any harm he thought might be brought to Alice, Jasper was always there.

Then she looked at Rosalie. "And you are?" she asked.

Rosalie just sighed, rolled her eyes and introduced herself.

"It's nice to meet you all" Rose said with a small smile.

Esme returned with a glass of ice water.

"Thank you" said Rose.

Esme smiled and nodded.

"Okay Rose" said Carlisle "You're perfectly healthy"

"Which is impossible because its only been three days. She's not a normal human. But she looks human, and smells human as well. Later on I'd need to do blood tests, but for now I'll let her rest"

"Edward" said Alice "I'm worried. I don't know how this will affect you…or Bella"

Bella? Ugh. This just got more complicated. More engrossing and interesting. All in one.

"Is something wrong?"

Carlisle shook his head. "No Rose, everything's okay"

She nodded, but I could see in her eyes that she didn't really believe anything Carlisle was telling her.

"Okay for now I'll let you rest some more, and if you need anything just ask"

She nodded. "Thank you Carlisle"

He smiled at her and gathered his things and left along with everyone.

"After you're done here, we need to talk" said Alice.

I was alone with her now. It was still the same.

Her blood was still sweet smelling.

But she still looked fierce, beautiful and so many other things.

Even drinking water was graceful for her.

She sit it down on the nightstand.

"Are you sure you're feeling alright Rose?"

She nodded and stood up from the bed and stretched.

Her body…

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little stiff that's all"

I nodded and put my hands in my pockets, turned around to look outside the window.

I need to find out more about her. I need to know her as much as I know myself…

"I'm sorry" she said suddenly.

What does she have to be sorry about? I turned to look at her. "Sorry?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I'm guessing that this is your room, and I don't think it's very comfortable sleeping on that sofa"

That's what she was worried about?

I wonder what she would say if I told her that I haven't slept in over a hundred years.

I smiled and looked back at the sofa. "Don't worry Rose. It's fine. I don't mind sleeping here at all"

I mentally laughed. I wonder if she would react the way Bella did when I told her that I could never sleep.

She smiled and then turned to the window.

She was admiring the view and I was admiring her.

"Where is this?" she asked.

"Forks"

"Forks" she whispered.

I looked at her and she had a vacant look, lost in her own thoughts.

Thoughts I had no access to…because she was somehow able to block me.

The way Bella could.

Again curiosity ate at me, I wanted to know everything about her.

"Rose?"

"Huh?"

"Are you okay?"

She nodded. "Yeah, it's just that for a minute the name Forks caught my attention and I thought I might remember something but no, I'm still going on blank"

"I'm sorry to hear that Rose"

I wanted to help her any way I could.

But I can't. I don't know anything about her.

She shook her head. "Nah, it's okay. It might come back to me some time soon. I guess this is what people go through when they don't remember anything about their lives"

That entire sentence was dripping in sarcasm.

She was beautiful and funny.

I snickered.

She walked over to the window by the sofa, just looking outside.

Looking deep in thought.

"Wow" she said.

Without thinking I flitted over to where she was, wondering what caught her attention.

"What?" I said.

She smiled. "The landscape is beautiful, the moon too"

I didn't even look out the window. Rose was the only thing that caught my attention.

"Yes it is" I said.

Then she turned around and those brown eyes bore into mine. I couldn't look away.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing"

"You have really beautiful eyes" she said all of a sudden.

In that she reminded me of Bella.

I smiled, shaking my head and returning my eyes to the view outside the window.

Her body heat increased. I looked at her from the corner of my eye. She was blushing, playing with strands of her hair. She was embarrassed.

"Do you mind if I sit down?" she asked.

I just shook my head.

I guess the silence for her was uncomfortable.

I heard her sit down and the silence started up once again.

I wanna help this girl. I need to help her.

There could be people looking for her. A family she might have to get back to. Maybe that name she was whispering while she was asleep…

"Does the name Dimitri mean anything to you?"

"Dimitri" she whispered. "Why are you asking?"

Maybe she's remembering something with that name.

"You kept repeating that name while you were sleeping. I'm guessing whoever Dimitri is, he must be someone important if you kept saying his name while you slept"

"Dimitri" she said.

Her heart rate increased, the warmth of her body increased. Her blood smelled even sweeter than it did before.

"Dimitri" she said again with more urgency.

"Ahh!"

That snapped me out of my trance.

Rose was rubbing her temples. She was in pain.

I ran to her, getting on my knees. "Rose! What's wrong?"

She started screaming and I picked her up and went to lay her on the bed.

"Edward" Alice.

Rose screamed again and I ignored everything, everything except Rose.

"Carlisle" I yelled and turned to Rose. "Rose hold on okay? Carlisle's coming"

She nodded, her eyes were closed and she was rubbing her temples.

"Edward" she whispered.

I automatically took her hand. "I'm right here Rose"

"It hurts" she said. Her voice thick, she wanted to cry.

I can't imagine what kind of pain she might be in right now.

Carlisle finally arrived.

"Rose" he said.

Then I saw her body go limp.

She was unconscious.

So okay I know I'm going slow with how
everything's happening but I'm just weird and cool that way.
