A/N: Ok I think this is my favourite FF I'm writing at the moment. It's my first twilight full length story so liking the change of style so I was desperate to do another chapter. I won't be writing the POV for both on the same thing but thought it was needed here to show the differences at this point so I kept that bit short.

Closer – part 3

EPOV

I heard her angelic voice through the crowd as she said my name. It caught my attention as it was only voice I recognised, the word was sweet on her lips as it was last night as she called it form her sleep.

Sitting down with the others I could smell the blood in the room. It was delicious and I struggled to control myself in the wake of the aroma. All day I had put up with it, aching for it, just one break of flesh and I think all control would leave me. At times I struggled to remember why I had done it, became vegetarian.

Eighteen months ago I came across her and nothing was the same again. I sent her away and struggled to hold myself, to let her go. I spent the next two weeks feeding off of humans, drinking down there blood in the hope that it could be better than what came from Bella.

I looked each one of my victims in the eye hoping to see a flash of something more than fear. Fear is all I ever got. I looked each woman in the eye hoping for something else but all I did was scare them before I killed them. I felt sick with myself at the fear I installed in them in the hope that Bella had just been a figment of my imagination but it wasn't, it was real. Nine women in two weeks, I didn't need all that blood, I gorged myself on there blood. It wasn't just a vampire surviving; I became a real killer looking for satisfaction.

I knew things weren't going to change so I needed to change. I left heading for Denali where I knew I could get help from Carlisle. Carlisle you could call my father, he created me and lived his life with the others of his coven as a "vegetarian". They drink animal blood to survive not liking that what they have been created into dictates them into a killer.

I on the other hand became weak to my instincts and fed from humans forcing me away from the rest of my family. I would see them every so often but they would not allow me to feed near there homes. I was seen as the wild adolescent son of the family, turning my back on there ways and morals. I fed off of the "bad guys" at first. A vampire power I have different from all other vampires is that I can read minds, so I picked off the murderers and the rapists believing I was doing right. Some how over the years I let that slide and picked on who had the sweetest blood and became the killer I was meant to be. Then I met her.

I arrived at Denali with my head down asking for forgiveness and help and of course Carlisle was always welcoming to me and the fact I wanted to change made him happy. Alice had already told him that I would be arriving and the rest of my family supported me in my new choice to, they were just a little surprised that my sudden change of heart came from a human.

"I need to change. I can't be this anymore." I felt disgusted by myself at the vulture I had become.

"I always hoped you would change your mind Edward but I have to ask, why now?" Carlisle looked at me, his youth shining from his pale skin but his wise years pouring out of his amber eyes.

"I have…reasons." I mumbled out, feeling ashamed of what they actually were.

"We all have our reasons Edward. I would like to know why now?" he kept his eyes on me waiting patiently for my answer.

"There…There is this girl."

I could hear her blood calling once again; it felt like it was striving for my attention in the crowd. I knew it was her, her voice, her blood passing thought her veins. I held my gaze down at the table top fighting the urge to look for her eyes. Like when I met her I couldn't hear her thoughts, it was infuriating. At present I could here everyone's thoughts as they pretended not to be interested in my group. The only connection I had to her right now was her blood and that was a connection I could do without. Her voice never spoke again and her thoughts were immune to my mind.

I had to. I looked up and let my head wonder through the crowd of students as my eyes fell up on her brown ones. I suddenly remembered right there and then that fighting my instincts was the right thing to do even if this look was all I ever got.

It wasn't a look of joy but it wasn't a look of disgust. I had told her too much in the alley that night but I hoped it would scare her away. She didn't look scared either, more just surprised. This was a bad idea. She knew too much about me, she could expose me, my family. I was risking all of there lives right now and here they all were, supporting me. I knew it was mostly Esme's doing. She always wanted me to have someone. You would see the look of disappointment in here eyes every time I visited them and I was alone. I tried to fidget, look human and fit in but all the voices were taking over my own thoughts and she was still looking at me surprised. The pain, holding myself back from the blood as my animal instincts began to lose control at every sense being battered.

I stood up carefully heading for the door and escape into the fresh air feeling the sense of blood leaving me allowing my body to relax. I walk up to near the surrounding trees as I stop, breathing in the cold air more and more trying to forget the smell of the humans. This was a mistake. Not only wasn't I ready for this, it was just wrong. My whole change had been for this one girl and I couldn't put myself, my being onto her for anything. She was my loss that I was just going to have to live without.

Looking up to the trees I could hear her behind me. Her blood and her silenced mind was what made me realize it was her. I pretended to not hear her feet below the grass and leaves. If I ignored her for long enough perhaps she would leave.

"Edward." She called to me. I ignored her standing still with my back to her stopping my breath as her blood swarmed me.

The silence lasted for a few moments until she walked up closer to me before resting a hand on my shoulder.

I turned around at vampire speed startling her as she moved back a few steps still looking at me with the same expression as her face held in the lunch hall, her fingers tips grazing each other as she fidgeted with nervousness.

I raised an eyebrow silently asking her what she wanted even though I could already tell even without reading her mind.

Silence

"What do you want Bella?" I asked with a harsh tone etched to my voice.

You could see a cringe in her features as I used that voice, as if I was telling her off. She looked up at me still silent as I waited. Her brown eyes racing over my face as if she was making sure it was really me.

"Bella?" I demanded her attention as her eyes shot back to mine from my mouth.

"It's you?" she whispered out seeming astounded that I was in front of her.

"Yes it is." I nodded solemnly looking down to the leaves on the ground.

She smiled that shy smile at me again, the one from the alleyway "I told you you would come looking for me." Her tone was sure as I looked back into the brown.

"I never came looking for you Bella, this is just coincidence." I lied to her face feeling ashamed at everything I hoped for I was destroying.

"Oh." Her face fell as did her eyes as she shuffled on her feet and a small nod coming from her head as she took in my words.

She stood there rooted to the ground looking her shoes.

"Something you're looking for Bella?" I ask in hope that she will either shout at me or leave. Just some kind of emotion so I know what she is thinking. Anything.

She looked up again and shook her head "Just another life." Her small smile of disappointment shows just before she turns on her heels and heads towards the school.

I watch her walk away leaving at her small human speed that I have to force myself to walk everyday.

"Bella." I call out by no admission to myself.

She stops in her tracks and turns around looking at me expectantly but no words come from my mouth.

She crosses her arms still waiting for something to come from my mouth. I was the one that stopped her after all.

I shake my head to dismiss her as she pauses for a moment, waiting to speak the indecision relevant on her face.

"Maybe you were right after all Edward." I don't like the way she says my name, it sounds as if there is going to be something horrible after it. "Maybe you don't have a soul after all." Witch. Of all the things she could have said this was her silver bullet.

I turn my head to hide my glare and anger as she walks away knowing the conversation is over. I hate her. The one thing she knew that would have an effect to hurt me and she took it. All of this was for nothing. Changing my ways, the move to Forks all for nothing. I tuned back around to see her in the distance as she walked back to the lunchroom with her back to me I knew that somehow that this conversation hadn't finished, at least not for me because all of the anger I felt from her comment it couldn't over shadow everything else I felt for her.

Feeling eyes on me I look up to who I knew would be watching me. Mike. I give a small smile back to his puppy dog look that he gives me everyday in biology. It makes me feel so uncomfortable because from the look I can almost tell what is going on inside of his mind.

Pulling my notebook out I look through the notes of the last class, any excuse to break my look from Mike.

From the corner of my eye I see that mess of bronze hair with the pale skin. Edward. Typical he had to be one of my classes. I keep my eyes down and refuse to look up at him. The next moment he is next to me pulling out the vacant seat that he was directed to. Crap. This day couldn't get any worse.

I really don't know why he is here. I thought he came for me. Stupid I know. His parents must have picked the place and he has just followed with the rest of them. I can't believe the way he spoke to me. This is not the same Edward I met in the alley that night. That Edward wanted me; I knew it was true from the look, from his kiss. I just don't understand why he was so cold. I have spent the past year and a half trying to figuring him out. Where he came from why he was like how he was, fast, strong and cold. Oh and wanting my blood. It sounded like some dodgy sci-fi movie.

A low chuckle comes from him, yes a chuckle.

He's been back on my radar for less than an hour and already he has me angry and disappointed. I spent eighteen months thinking about this guy. Eighteen months, what a waist of time.

I give in and speak to him, he obviously wants a reaction. "Something funny?" I ask still keeping my eyes away from his red ones.

"Perhaps." Oh is that it, just try and work it up me a little bit more why don't you.

I cut to the chase. "Why are you even here Edward?" I turn to meet his gaze and see his eyes. There golden. It's not the scary red like last time. How did I not notice this earlier?

"I like the weather." His lips curl up at the end as if he thinks he's clever. Ahh. I try not to let him wined me up which clearly he's aiming for.

"You know I was glad to see you." I try to be honest, if only slightly foolishly.

Before he has time for any response our gaze is broken with the teacher placing a microscope down between us.

I'm glad for class to start so the only conversation I have to have with him is about the slides. Why did we even have to be doing this today? Maybe breaking in the new boy gently, don't want to confuse him after all.

I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand. Biology room: 57. Looking along the doors as I wander the halls waiting for the numbers on the paper to match a number on a door. Finding it I walk in immediately my eyes landing on Bella. I stop to talk to my new teacher and he points me in the direction of the vacant seat next to Bella. I let my bag fall to the floor as I pull out the seat and sit down.

She doesn't make eye contact as I look at her from my seat; instead she ignores my gaze and continues to look forward at the teacher.

I try to fathom where to begin; this is not the place to talk to her but it maybe my only opportunity. Looking at her I feel eyes on me as I look across the room to find a boy looking at her intently, reading his mind I can tell he has a thing for Bella. Competition perhaps. A small laugh escapes my mouth at the thought that he may have something more over her after her reaction earlier.

"Something funny?" she asks still not meeting my eyes and no tone in her voice.

"Perhaps." Is all I give, I can't quite forget her silver bullet earlier.

"Why are you even here Edward?" she asks aggravated as she finally turns to look at me.

"I like the weather." I let a smirk form on my face at the look she gives me. This is too easy.

"You know I was glad to see you." Picking up her pen she begins to play with it, her nervousness playing with her emotions again. Such a human.

The teacher begins the lesson as he places microscopes out on the desk along with slides. Were to work in pairs, recognising what is on the slides. Least we are able to talk.

A/N: Ok so both a little annoyed at each other and one wanting to talk and the other doesn't. What do you think will happen next?

Please review – it means so much and lets me know if you like where I'm going with the story. Also any suggestions will be given serious thought.
