Disclaimer: I do not own twilight. If I did the mutt would have died a horrible death.
"did you feel that? What was it?" I asked.
The golden eyed man gave me a beaming smile.
"Yes I felt it love but I can't tell you what it is without telling you who I am. So let's start over. Hello, I am Edward Anthony Masen Cullen."
"I am Bella and I am not going shake your hand until you tell me what that was about."
"Bella… beautiful name for a beautiful woman though I am disappointed that you didn't tell me your full name when I gave you mine." he said giving me a small pout making me laugh.
"Isabella Marie Swan. Happy?"
"Immensely. Isabella ….God's promise."
"huh?"
"your name means God's promise."
"oh."
"so tell me Bella why were you crying?"
I let out a sigh.
"Long story,"
"I have got time."
"You know what, first tell me what happened earlier and I will tell you why I was crying."
"Fair enough. But before I tell you what it was let's do an experiment."
"huh?"
"Experiment silly, like you do in school, you know to prove a hypothesis."
"I know what a experiment is." I said with mock anger.
"Ok genius. Now you sit here and I will walk away for few minutes and you have to tell me what you feel."
"ok" I said even though I didn't know what he was trying to do.
He stood up and started walking. Suddenly I felt the loss and pain as if I was losing something valuable. The desperation and sorrow I felt was so intense that I could not take the feeling anymore and cried out for him.
Within seconds he was cradling me in his lap and relief washed over me.
"What was that? Did you do some voodoo or something?" then I remembered how fast he came back as if he flew.
"How did you get to me so fast?" I asked totally confused.
"I am very fast Bella, Faster than any known car."
"How?"
"Our kind is fast Bella. We are not like you."
"Your kind?"
"yes my kind. Are you afraid?" he asked.
"No" I said truthfully as I was really not afraid. I loved him which was weird because I didn't even know him. He was stranger, a stranger with beautiful golden eyes.
"Are you super human?" I asked making him snort.
"Well I have super speed and also super strength but I am definitely not human. Are you afraid now?"
I shook my head telling him no.
"Are you from krypton?"
This time he laughed, a deep down amused belly laugh.
"Don't laugh at me." I pouted.
"Sorry baby."
I stared at him with my mouth wide open. Did he just call me baby?
"Close your mouth Bella or else flies will make a nest in it."
I shut my mouth with a noise.
"So answer to your question, I am not from krypton and before you ask I was not bitten by a radioactive spider."
"Ok fine I give up."
"Bella, these are all superhero stuff. But what if I'm not the hero? What if I am the bad guy?"
"Well you do kind of look like Lex Luthor." I joked
"What! Take it back, take it back." He said with mock anger.
"Ok fine. You don't look like him. You look like Kal-el. Happy?"
He just gave me a cheesy smile making me laugh.
After my laughter died down he became serious.
"Bella, my skin is pale white and ice cold. I never eat anything. I don't go out in the sunlight. That is your clue"
"a snowman?" I joked
"Do I look like a snowman to you, silly Bella?" He asked with a crooked smile.
"I need more clues"
"Ok, let us combine all my clues, ok? I am impossibly fast, and strong, my skin is pale white and ice cold. My eyes change color. I never eat anything. I don't go out in the sunlight. Now tell me your guess."
"a fallen angel?" I asked, this time sincerely.
He gave me small smile.
"no Bella, I am a vampire. Are you afraid?"
I shook my head no. I knew I should be afraid but I was not. He never hurt me and something in my heart told me that he would never. I felt safety and love in his presence unlike any human I had ever met.
"Are you going to eat me?"
"Vampires don't eat, Bella. We drink."
"Ok fine. Are you going to drink me? Now I feel like a martini. What I meant was, are you going to drink my blood?"
"no love. I don't drink human blood. I drink only animal blood."
"Have you ever drunk human blood?"
"Yes but it was long time ago?"
"Was it tasty?"
He laughed.
"for us, yeah."
"How old are you?"
"now that is a loaded question."
"huh?"
He shook his head and laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Sorry, I am twenty one."
"Oh, how long have you been twenty one?"
"Since 1918."
"Oh god you are old."
"Did you just rhyme?"
I gave him a sheepish smile.
"How did you become a vampire?"
"Well I was dying from Spanish influenza and my doctor who was a vampire changed me to save me."
"Well that was…thoughtful." I said making him snort.
" how can you come out during the daytime?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Bella, there is no problem in coming out during daytime. That is just a myth"
"Burned by the sun?"
"Myth."
"Sleeping in coffins?"
"Myth."
He hesitated for a moment, and a peculiar tone entered his voice. "I can't
sleep."
It took me a minute to absorb that.
"At all?"
"Never."
"so what happened earlier?"I asked.
Now he looked nervous.
"Bella, vampires change only once in their life time that is when they meet their mates. We mate for life which means there is only one mate for us. When we meet them everything changes. All of a sudden it's not gravity holding you to the planet, it's her, nothing else matters. When we feel it, our mates feel it too. You are my mate Bella that is why you felt it."
