Chapter 17

I sat impatiently in my seat looking out of the window. Suddenly my stomach growled, I looked up at Edward embarrassed. I was so caught up with Edward that I had forgot to eat at Lunch.

"You want to get something to eat first?" he asked wearily. I nodded and I wrapped my arms around my waist, determined to keep anymore noises from my stomach in, not that it would actually help.

He turned the car away from the forest and into a diner close by. I guess I was also kinda glad my stomach decided to let it's self be known, I wasn't exactly jumping with joy with the idea of going anywhere near the forest. I had never liked the forest, it was always a creepy place where I expected monsters to live. I was glad to have a distraction so I could prepare myself. I didn't want to appear girly and squeamish with Edward, I didn't want him to think I was a weak person.

We walked into the diner hand in hand, Edward opened the door and led me to a booth near the back, away from the peering eyes. I ordered a burger and fries with a cola and Edward ordered a water and asked to share my fries.

Edward stared at me after our waiter left, like he was looking for something, again. I reached out towards his hand which was one the table and gripped it.

"What are you thinking about?" I traced swirls on his hand as I looked up at him. He gave me a dazzling smile and brought his hand up to my shoulder, playing with a strand of hair.

"You're beautiful." he stated, making my blush crimson red. I nodded meekly as I looked at my hands. He put his hand under my chin and brought my face up to his. "No really. I don't think you even know how much Bella. You truly are Bella Isabella." It took me a moment to realise that he was calling me beautiful, as that was what my name mean in Italian.

I looked at him curiously. "You know Italian?"

He smiled at me and whispered into my ear in fluent Italian. "Sì il mio amore." My heart excelled as I listened to his words. Now I may not now Italian, but I knew enough to understand what he was saying to me. Something along the lines of yes and love.

I smiled at him as our food was brought up by a waitress, she obviously found Edward to be handsome and winked at him. I glared at her, moving closer to Edward possessively. Mine.

She went away soon after and I pulled my burger closer to me, pushing the fries to Edward. Hell, I don't think I've ever seen that boy eat and I didn't want him to get under fed and lose his devilishly handsome body.

After taking a few bites from the burger, I set it down and looked at Edward curiously. He was such an enigma, it was like there was this mysterious air around him, shielding his true demeanor from others. He didn't seem like one to know European languages, fluently at that, but I guess there were just things about him that I would never really get to know. Defiantly an enigma.

We left soon after and made our way through to his car. My worries soon again surfaced as he started the car and drove towards the forest. I looked towards him and searched his face for some inkling of where we were going or what we were even doing.

But there was nothing on his face to suggest what we were going to do. I slumped into my seat and looked out of the window. The forest was getting more and more greener and we drove further in. Edward stopped the car when we reached the end of the road. I unbuckled my seat belt and step out of the car before Edward opened my door. I looked ahead to see him standing in front of the car, starring at me.

"What?" I asked as I walked towards him.

He shook his head as he held his hand out to me. "Come on, I want to show you something."

I smiled timidly as I gripped onto his cold hand. Something was different in his facial expression. It was his eyes, they seemed darker. Not dark like they were the first day though, his eyes showed pain, fear and something else. Something I wasn't quite so sure of.

He pulled me along through the forest, we were walking for a while till I saw a clearing in the distance. I walked ahead of him, eager to see what was there. Sunlight lit up the clearing, flowers of every colour glowing in green green grass. It was like a set out of a movie. I looked back at Edward, he was just outside the clearing, the woods shielding him from the sunlight. I giggled as I spun around the clearing, taking in the view.

"This is beautiful Edward." I grinned at him. He looked distraught as he starred at me. I stopped smiling. "Edward what's wrong?"

"There something I have to tell you Bella." He was still in the shadow of the trees, staring at me with those dark eyes. "I'm sorry I waited so long to tell you but I had to. It wasn't fair to leave you in the dark like this though, you deserved to know. I'll understand if you don't want to see me again after this. I won't come near you again. I'll leave, I promise Bella."

My heart stood still as I listened to him, something was very wrong. I starred at his eyes as tears feel from mine.

"What is it Edward?" I asked as I took a step away from him.

He let out a sinister laugh as he starred at me. "Think really hard Bella. You know there's something wrong with me, that there's always been something wrong with me. I'm not normal Bella, hell I'm not even human." He roared.

My heart thumped quickly as I stared at him, now truly scared. "What are you?" I croaked.

Yeah I know, I left it at a cliffhanger :D
