Chapter 2 : The Sight That Took His Breath Away

EPOV

Alice and I followed the scent. Wow. Look at Edward. I haven't seen him like this since… no, it can't be... that's impossible. I wished she didn't edit her thoughts; I wanted to know what she thought this creature was. The scent was so floral, yet so familiar. I couldn't figure out what the flower was, or what had smelt like this in the past that was bringing out this new strength. I didn't understand. In about 10 minutes we came to a meadow in the forest. Odd. This looked a lot like the one back in Forks. Mine and Bella's. I felt even stronger at the sight. But I still couldn't figure out why. Was it possible that you could think of something for so long but not notice it when it's right in front of your face? It had to be.

That's when we saw them. There were two vampires talking quietly. A male and a female. They looked as though they might be waiting for someone. They didn't seem to notice that we were close. The male vampire had jet black hair and stood protectively in front of the female. Probably his mate I thought. The female he was protecting had long curly blonde hair and was very short and petite. Kind of like Alice. Should we approach them? Alice asked me through her thoughts knowing that they'd hear her if she spoke. I moved my eyes to the right, to the left, and back to the right. Our signal for shaking our heads. Although Alice knew I meant not yet. Then I heard the female speak, "She said she'd be right back, she just had to check on something, I wonder what's taking her so long?" she asked the male, he shrugged his shoulders. I looked at Alice and moved my eyes up and down. She knew that as a "now". We walked up to them and they turned to look at us with large topaz eyes. Thank God I thought They're vegetarians. We don't need another group of James, Victoria, and Laurent on our hands.

"Hello. Sorry to bother you but, we were hunting just south of here and caught your scent and thought we'd come and see who you were. And you don't need to worry, we are vegetarians, we don't drink human blood." Alice said, trying to be the peace maker, probably had foreseen some conflict if we didn't say the way we lived.

"Neither do we. May I introduce myself? I am Nicholas, Nick. This is my wife, Chase." Said the male.

"I'm Alice and this is my brother, Edward." Said Alice. "So, what brings you to this part of the woods?"

"We were hunting the mountain lion here.

I heard someone coming from behind Nick and Chase. I couldn't read her thoughts. That was weird. I had been able to read everyone's thoughts except Bella's. But, it couldn't be. Then a girl with long brown wavy hair came up and didn't look at me or Alice. I breathed in her scent… freesia. She finally looked up at us and I couldn't believe my eyes. I hadn't seen someone that beautiful in 50 years. I was speechless.



"BELLA?!" Alice cried. She looked up and gave a faint smile. She was as beautiful as ever. Her eyes were a beautiful topaz; I finally realized what she meant by my eyes mesmerizing her those 50 years ago, I was lost in them. Her brown hair fell on her perfect face that I know would have been blushing if she had the ability to. She gave a weak smile. She realized she was staring at me, I didn't notice she was because I was staring at her. She quickly looked away into the distance still embarrassed. I didn't understand her nervousness. I understood mine. I hadn't seen her in 50 years. I had explaining to do. All she had to do was sit there and hopefully accept my apology. I was waiting for my angel from heaven to speak.

"Hi, Alice." Her beautiful voice filled my ears and I felt whole again. "Hi… E-Edward" she stammered. Her voice was amazing. The most beautiful, magnificent sound I had heard in 50 years.

"Oh, so these are the Cullens you were talking so much about, Bella." Said Chase. Bella looked down, embarrassed again.

"Well, I guess I've got some explaining to do," said Bella quietly.

"Why don't we all go back to um, our… house. You can see Carlisle, Esme and ev-everyone." Alice stammered. Bella nodded once and we were off.

Okay so there's chapter two I know they're pretty short I'm working on making them longer but please review!
