A/N: Okay so here's another chapter my loves. Also I just wanted to make note that I am aware there may be a couple typos. I don't have a beta and the time to read over this like five times and get it out as quickly to you. I do proof read on my own but to take even more time usually turns me off from writing. Sorry and please bear with me. I did go through and correct the mistakes I found in my previous chapters including this one and reupload them. Feel free to PM if anything is too confusing because of mistakes. Well….Enjoy
Edward:
This was it. I knew she lived here. I could feel it. Her scent, that I has tracked and followed, still lingered in the air.
The house was modest and...welcoming. It suited her well. I didn't hear any other minds or heart beats in the house. Just hers. her mind was still silent to me. Why? What did it mean? The faint scent of her in the air still caused a burn in my throat, but it was hundred times less powerful. it was bearable.
I could hear her in the tiny room on the second story of the house moving around. Getting ready for bed perhaps? I tried to visual what she was doing with each movement I heard her make.
What was wrong with me? Why was I here? What was it about this human girl that had me breaking my own self imposed rules? It's not like I could ever let her see me again. I was a monster. I couldn't let her see my eyes, which were red to revel the true nature of the demon I had become. I had spilt so much blood. Most importantly...what if I killed her? I could not forget the reaction I'd had to her last time. Her blood was like a siren calling to my dark nature. ..but I had to see her again, just one more time and never again.
Bella:
I don't know when I had slipped asleep but what was even more strange was why I had woken up. I wasn't alone, I could feel it. Had my dad returned to check on me? I still had the candle burning by my bedside, providing some light in my dark room. I carefully sat up in bed, holding the blanket to me to keep the cold from penetrating the modest material of my sleeping attire.
"Father?" I called out my voice groggy with sleep. I searched the darkened part of my room that the candle did not reach when I received no response. Was I just being paranoid? But then I saw the outline of a shadow in the far corner of my room...
Edward:
What was I doing? Why was I here in her room? I knew when she was coming awake. I had enough time to have left. but I didn't. I stayed and watched her instead, waiting with bated breath to see those chocolate brown orbs again. Did some part of me want her to discovery me again? I didn't even know what her reaction to me would be. Did I care? We were alone no one else was here to hear if she screamed, but the thought of her afraid of me didn't sit well. Though, she should be afraid of me. Wasn't I more a danger to her than her attacker?
My thoughts on that question ceased when I saw her small form sit up and her soft voice call out to her father. I could see her clearly, but her human eyes couldn't see me. Could they?
She was so beautiful. none of the fear coloring of features like earlier tonight, but she was slightly flushed from having just woken up. She looked so tempting and delicate...so vulnerable. My fists balled up again at the last thought. Was that thought my own or the monstrous part of me? Weren't they one in the same?
I wasn't breathing. I couldn't. I was testing my restraint as it was, selfishly risking her life just to be close to her again. Why? I didn't know. I didn't want to know.
I waited, but for what? Then something happened that I didn't expect. her eyes seemed to lock with my own, but she couldn't see me. Could she?
