Chapter 7, the meadow
BPOV
I found my way to the meadow, my meadow. It was my place to think. So much has happened. I imprinted on an enemy, our only enemy, a vampire. It was too much for me. But also too happy too care. I found my soul mate. Then a different scent came into the meadow, the same scent I smelt before when we ran into the vampires, Edward. I turned around and there he was. I couldn't help but smile up at him. He was beautiful, messy bronze hair, skin as pale as paper, and eyes deep pools of topaz. He came over and sat by me. "Hello Bella" "Hi" I couldn't stop staring into his eyes. "What are you doing here?" He asked "I found this place the first time I phased, my dad was yelling at me because he found out I was cut school…"
FLASHBACK
I walked through the door from school, my dad was there, and he looked angry, opps. "Jacob, go upstairs." After he left he rolled up to the living room and told me to sit down. "I got a call from your principal today, said you weren't at school today, why is that?" ok Bella think fast… "Um I missed homeroom because I was in the bathroom. Mrs. Burke must have added me as absent." Ok he should believe that. "Oh really then how come none of your teachers saw you either?" "I don't know, maybe they missed me?" "DANG IT BELLA I KNOW YOU SKIPPED SCHOOL TODAY!" ok don't say anything. "What do you have to say for yourself?" "That you need to calm down." I didn't mean to say it but I said it too loud "CALM DOWN! YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN! I FIND OUT YOU CUT SCHOOL AND YOU WANT MY TO CALM DOWN! NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE LIVING ON THE STREETS WITHOUT AN EDUCATION!" I couldn't take it anymore; I just walked out of the house. "DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME!" but I kept walking, toward the woods. I was shaking badly. Next thing I knew I was on four legs.
What the heck?
Bella?
Sam?
Yeah you need to calm down
Don't tell me to calm down!
I ignored his voice in my head and continued running. I went through a break in the trees and I ran into a meadow. It was beautiful. There were flowers blowing in the wind and a stream bubbling across the middle. I was suddenly on two legs again and I heard a rustle behind me. I turned and Sam was standing with his eyes closed. "Here's some clothes for you to wear. Then we'll talk" I put the clothes on and Sam, Jared and Paul walking out of the trees. We sat and talked about everything about the Quileute legends.
"I was sure it was a nightmare, but I got use to it. Jake phased about two months later. So how about you, how did you become a vampire, if you don't mind me asking?" he sighed and laid back in the grass, I laid next to him. "No I don't mind, I was going to tell you anyway."

Wow, I felt bad for Bella. The way she phased and she had no clue what was happening. Now it's my turn to tell a story. "I don't really remember much of my human life. Only Carlisle saw it and still knows about it. But he told me and that's the only reason I can tell you now is because of him. I was at the Chicago Hospital with Spanish Influenza. My dad died in the early stages and my mother wasn't too far behind. Then one day Carlisle came in late to relieve the other nurses and checked in on my mom and me. My mother had gotten worse and died that night. He felt bad for me because both my parents were dead and I wasn't to far off. He wanted a partner to be with and he decided that I would be his. He rolled my mother to the morgue and came back for me. No one had noticed I was still alive so when he got to the morgue, he took me back to his house and changed me. I have been with him ever since." She looked like she was going to cry. "Do you sometimes wish that he didn't change you?" "Not anymore." I moved a piece of hair from her face and then our lips connected. Electricity shot all through me. For the first time in 100 years, I felt truly alive. We spent a few minutes talking about our families and decided that I'd bring my dad and Jake to his house so that we could have a big meeting. So we said our goodbyes and went our ways. I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
