Chapter 3 Stay Away
There was no way he was telling the truth. Carlisle being his creator did not make sense. He had never mention Edward.
"Shortly after I was made, I rebelled against him," Edward says.
"So, you decided you wanted to try again?" I ask. He gave me a questionable look. I guess he was wondering how I knew that. "I can tell you haven't been surviving on just human blood alone. Your eyes have a hint of gold to them."
I froze in place as Edward touched my cheek. However, I was less afraid of him now seeing the change of his eye color.
"There's another curious thing about you," Edward says.
"What's that?" I ask.
He does not answer right away. It looks like he is trying to hear something.
"I can hear what people are thinking. I can't with you," Edward says.
With that, he disappeared. Before I knew it, Alice was behind me.
"What the hell does that mean?" I ask her with my hands on my hips, which I usually do not do, but I am just so made at the moment.
'Bella, he can't hear what you're thinking," Alice tells me.
I fall to my bed. Alice, herself, seems to be in shock. I, a simple human, had somehow been able to deflect a vampire's special ability.

If I thought that was the last I would see of the runaway Cullen, I was wrong. The Cullen siblings and I were in the cafeteria eating, while I was at least, when Alice started to stare into space like she always did when she had one of her visions.
"You've got to be kidding me," Alice says, taking an unnecessary breath.
"What is it?" Jasper asks, wrapping an arm around her.
She looks right at me, which in toward make Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett do the same. I do not like this because Alice's visions have never been wrong. And by the looks of it, it is not a good one.
"Edward wants to see you," Alice tells me.
"We can't stop you from seeing him, but just be careful," Jasper says.
I yell to myself that, yes, you can stop me. Tell me not to go. Because if they do not, I will end up going or I will be seeing Edward tonight.
"Yeah," is all I say though.

I eventually ask Alice where Edwards want to meet me. After school, I walk towards the woods outside the parking lot. His back is facing me when I find me. I clear my throat to let him I am here. He turns and looks at me with wide eyes.
"You came," Edwards says in a somewhat shocked tone.
Apparently he was not expecting me to come.
"Yeah, well, I figured if I didn't you'd be in my room tonight," I say.
He laughed and extended his hand, which I took with my trembling one.
"Where are you taking me?" I ask as he throws me on to his back.
"You'll see," Edward says with a smile.
I wrapped my arms around him, and we were off. My eyes are closed the entire time. When we finally stop, Edward carefully puts me down. I look around and found that we were in the middle of clearing.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"It's a meadow I found a few days ago," Edward says.
"Oh," I say.
Before I knew it, we were laying on the grass, looking up at the sky. We turn and look at each other.
"Stay still," Edwards says. He turns to his side. "I want to try something."
He slowly leans into me and his icy lips touch mine.
