A Random Little Note from the Author
This one isn't meant to be funny (just warning you). Sorry I haven't updated for so long, two reasons, one my computer spazzed up, and two my life is OTT busy. Any improvements e.t.c I could make please review. Still enjoy!
Bella's POV
I knew I had to get away from him, now I knew his secret. The secret nobody knew except me. How he could be beautiful, impossibly quick and strong. I knew. I walked away from school, away from him.
I walked through the woods, not thinking about where I was going. The light didn't shine through the leaves here in rainy Forks. Instead the forest was filled with an eerie creeping mist chilling me to my bones. At least it wasn't raining. If I'd not been so anxious to get away, perhaps, it could have been beautiful. Not today.
Suddenly, I stopped. I became aware of another present amongst the trees with me. I knew it was him. Who else would follow me? I didn't turn around but I shouted in to the space,
"I know what you are."
I feel him draw nearer as he digests my words. When he could be almost touching me he to speaks,
"Say it. Out loud. Say it!"
Now was my moment. Even though I was scared half out my wits, I could still admire his beautiful, careful words, so reminiscent of the early 20th century. Slowly I turn to face him, letting all the hurt and mistrust show in my eyes.
"Ghost."
I saw it all in those next few seconds, the struggles, the hardships, the secrecy, fall away leaving him to stand there, so confused. I wanted to comfort him, to help him understand that I wouldn't tell. But I too, stood there tongue-tied. I had considered all the possibilities, and this one made the most sense, and now I knew I was right. I looked at him, as he stood before me, in all his inhuman glory and knew even though he was inhuman, I was not afraid.
Before I could tell him any of this, I watched, as he seemed to fade away. I screamed then not knowing what was happening. Then I realised. He hadn't known. Now he knew he was dead, he was dead. Gone forever.
