Bella POV
I made my way towards biology as quickly as I could, I wanted the day to be over so I could get back and see how Charlie was. I was walking up the corridor when I passed one of the new girls here; she was one of the most beautiful vampires I had ever seen, but it didn't make me feel self contuse like it seemed to make every other girl in the school feel. I was used to feeling below everyone else in beauty and so she just made me feel more at home. She was walking in my direction but I just ignored her, thinking about Charlie.
When I was about 5 feet away from her I caught her eye and noticed pure malice directed at me. This surprised me quite a lot for I had not done anything wrong. I tried to ignore her as she passed me and just went back to my thoughts, what ever her problem with me she could get over it, it wasn't my problem to.
I turned the last corned of the corridor and went into the biology room. I was sitting at the far right of the class next to the window. I went to my desk and sat down, putting my stuff next to me on the free desk. I began to watch the people entering the classroom and, to my surprise, I noticed the bronze haired one come in. He seemed to be amused about something. I thought for a moment that who ever he had to sit next to him was in for a very long semester, but after a few seconds I realized the only free seat in the class was the one next to me. I sighed and moved my bags out of the way.
The bronze haired one went to the teacher and asked about the class, for a second the teacher looked shocked that he was actually talking to someone and not a dream, but he composed him self fast and pointed to the seat next to me. He turned to me and his eyes started to fill up with sudden interest as soon as he saw my face. He thanked the teacher and moved to sit next to me.
I gave a quick yawn and pulled my books from my bag, the bronze haired boy sat down and looked me straight in the eye. They were a deep onyx (which meant he needed to feed) and fall of so many secrets that I couldn't resist.
"Hi I'm Bella swan," I told him smiling.
"Edward cu-" he cut off and turned to the front with a look of panic on his face, "-llen," he finished quickly.
"Ok," I told him confused and turned to the front. I didn't want to know the Cullen's problem with me, Alice Cullen seemed nice enough and Dr Carlisle Cullen did to, so I chose to ignore it. His eyes are still so interesting, I thought disappointed, they would have been a good project.
Edwards face now had a picture of lust and anger on it. He flashed a quick glance at me; his eyes had a hunger in them that thirsted for something and I could guess what that was. It looked like he was barely staying in his seat, like it was taking all his will power to just sit there. He wanted my blood.
"Cantante," I whispered, horrified. This meant 'singer', which basically meant that my blood sung for him and he wanted it more then life itself. I had first heard of this in one of my lessons at the Voltrui. They had been preparing me for becoming a vampire for years and knew what to do better then most under 50 years.
Why was he holding back? Don't get me wrong; I was extremely glade he was holding back, but why? Why go through that much pain? He tuned to me when I whispered this word. All the hunger suddenly gone from his eyes, just pure curiosity left. It only lasted about a second and soon changed back to lust.
I needed to get out of here now. I knew that with a bit of practice he could resist better, but right now he was on the edge. I gathered all my books together and put them in my bag. I was completely relaxed about the fact that I might die any second; I was good at dealing with crises. I stood calmly and walked up to my teacher.
"Sir, I feel really sick," I told him putting on a fake voice, "may I be excused?" I asked.
He looked at me confused, I had never skived off a lesson so why would I now. "Yes Bella, of course."
I made my way to the exit. I turned round at the last second and saw Edward looking at me with a mixture of emotions. Lust, anger, sorrow, indecision, apology, hatred and… love, right at the back I saw love. But for what? I was confused but gave him a sympathetic smile.
I walked out of the door and made my way through the school to the car park. On my way there I crossed the path of one, very worried, Alice Cullen. As I passed her I smiled and nodded. Shock crossed her face and she stopped in her tracks, looking at me with utter surprise. I was startled by her behavior and just kept going until I got to my car. I plugged in my keys and set out to the hospital to see Charlie.
Edward POV
I headed to biology slowly. I did love biology quite a lot but the thing is I had a degree in physiology, genetic and was in fact a fully classified doctor, and so biology wasn't really new and so I just had so sit there all lesson and do nothing. Boredom was something that vampires tended to have a problem with because after a while you have done every thing and so repeating it over and over again just gets boring.
Well not everything gets boring, so I had heard. But I had no partner and no intension of getting one unless I knew that she was the one and that I was totally in love with her and would do anything for her. Tanya tried that a couple of years back but I just told her, very gently, that I wasn't interested.
I wondered through the corridors and soon got to my lesson. Biology was right in the middle of the school and so didn't take that long to get here. I entered the room and scanned it quickly, to my delight Bella was sitting by the window with the only free seat next to her. I thought for a moment that she would soon find out that we weren't a nice little family, like I think she thought, but a horrid group of freaks that should be well left alone. I was surprised at myself for thinking this; I shouldn't be scaring humans. Anyway I needed to find out what she knew about us, though she probably knew nothing and it was just her brain didn't work quite right, I liked this idea for it explained why I couldn't hear her.
I walked up to the teacher and when he looked up he had the most dumbstruck look it was hard not to laugh. I he pointed to the seat next to Bella once I had asked and I flashed him a smile, I thanked the teacher and moved towards Bella. She looked up at me with interested eyes; I felt this reflected on my own. I sat down and turned to her smiling. She looked deep into my eyes, which I wasn't used to, and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan," she told me lightly. What was wrong with this girl? Did I not send shivers down her spine? It didn't make sense.
"Edward cu-" I cut off as a small gust of wind came though the open window, blowing her sent towards me. I smelt he most delicious and most lustful smell in existence. I tasted her flavor on my tongue and my mouth began to fill with venom.
Kill her, take her away and feed on her, this voice in my head got louder and louder until it was filling up my ears. I leaned forward slightly and took her sent in and froze. What was I doing? I straitened my back and faced the front, tensing every muscle in my body. I couldn't kill her, I wouldn't. "-llun," I finished the sentence quickly, realizing it had only been a few seconds.
"Ok," she said in a confused voice. Her breath waved around me and my throat constricted. The smell went through my nose; go on, who's goanna stop you? The humans? They can be dealt with easily. Just take a bite. Lore her out of the room and take a bit, or why not just take a bite now. No ones here to stop you. The voice was back again and I tried to push it down, though it was still there. I didn't want to be a monster; I didn't want to kill this innocent girl sitting next to me. Though she wasn't innocent, she was a devil sent from hell to destroy my life. To destroy everything I had created, I hated her with all my heart. Why did she have to be here, move here, live here.
I glanced over at her again. She meets my gaze and horror appeared in her eyes. So she could se something was wrong, smart girl. Would she run, would she scream? No, she would sit there and do nothing. I wonder if she knew she could be only seconds of death, that where she was now was probably the most life threatening position that she would ever be in.
"Cantante," she whispered to herself. I turned to her with curiosity. Why was she saying that? Cantante meat singer, why would that come into her head. For one small second I forgot that I wanted her blood, that I hated her more then anything, just then she was a normal girl who I couldn't read, and who was frustrating me more then anything at this fact. Of course this only lasted a second and very soon I was tensing all the muscles in my body and turning to the front, with agony spearing at my throat.
Bella started to gather her things up calmly. Oh please, don't move! Don't move! Was she trying to kill her self? As her sent wafted towards me I gripped the table hard, almost breaking it. Why was she so calm? She knew something was wrong yet she was acting like this was a normal day for her. She stood up and walked to the front of the class. As she got further away the voice in my head died down slightly, the girl was leaving. She told the teacher she didn't feel well and once the teacher nodded she walked to the exit.
Before she left she turned to me with a sympathetic smile. Did she know what was happening to me? But that was impossible, well no, but very improbable. A flood of emotions ran through me as she left. Lust for her blood, anger for the fact that she was born and very nearly destroyed my life, sorrow for what I probably would have just done if she hadn't of left, indecision whether to follow her or not, apology for putting her through that and hatred for her putting me through that. Yes, the strongest feeling of all was hatred. She had turned me into an animal, some creature that prays on the life of humans. True, that I am initially designed for killing, but I had controlled and buried that part of me, and this human, this thing, had brought it back out of me.
As the door swung shut and the human girl walked away I had to gather up all my self control not to just walk out of the class room and follow her back to her house. This human girl was ruining my life, and I couldn't do anything to stop her.
I was prying endlessly for something to come and save me, get me out of this place so that I could just run. All I wanted to do was run and run, away from all life's problems, away from that thing that is destroying my life. Then, as if a gift from good, Alice walked into the room and up to the teacher. She told him that we had some family issues and that I needed to be pulled out of class immediately.
"O-OK. Edward, you may go with your sister." And just like that I was making my way up the corridor and towards the parking lot. Neither Alice or I exchanged a single word while we walked, the silence was enough. Alice just kept showing me the vision of what would have happened if Bella hadn't of walked out the room, and I thanked the heavens that this girl had common sense. We got out of the school but kept walking until we reached the edge of the forest, as soon as we were out of eyeshot we began to sprint, deeper and deeper into the forest. I reached a small clearing and stood dead still, waiting for my sister to catch up.
"She knows about us Edward," she told me blankly.
"I know," I whispered in a low voice, facing away from her with my head down.
"And she's your singer."
"I know," I told her a bit louder, starting to get annoyed that she was pointing out the obvious.
"She could jeopardize our life here."
"I know Alice… I almost killed someone. I wanted to kill her." As I begun to think about her once again my mouth began to fill with venom. "I don't want to hurt her."
"I know Edward. Will she say anything?" Alice asked, her voice soft and comforting.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean 'I don't know'?"
"I… well, I cant read her thoughts," I replied, my voice full of frustration. For some reason, when I mentioned this, I smiled. I… smiled? That was strange, this human that almost destroyed who I am and I… smile about her. I was confused and worried about my self, scared that my sanity had left me. Quickly ignoring the thought I turned to Alice with a look of determination.
"We need to confront her," I said, trying to conjure a plan up in my head.
"What do you mean by we?" she asked, looking at me with suspicious eyes.
"I mean you and I."
"No Edward. Hardly 5 minutes ago you found out that this girl was your singer. How do you expect to stand near her with wanting to make her your meal?"
"I wont kill her Alice, that I know for sure.'
"How can you know that? You can't take a risk like that."
"Trust me, please."
"Alright." I gave her one quick nod and then ran at fall pelt away from town, just wanting to be alone with my thoughts. To tell the truth, I really didn't know if that was true, that I could control myself. But stupidly enough, I was going to take that risk.
I ran and ran until I found what I was looking for, my meadow. Walking to the centre of the clearing I sat down onto the grass and thought. I thought about Bella, Isabella swan.
At first I let all my anger out on her, calling her names and telling myself that she was ruining my life. But once I had done that and gotten over myself I, well, liked her. A lot. She was… beautiful actually. She seemed quite sweet, and caring, and sympathetic. She was patient and kind and, by the looks of it, smart. All in all Bella swan was brilliant.
I started to think about her mind, her impenetrable mind that was closed to everyone, hiding all the secrets of the world. I wanted to know what she was thinking, to know who she was and how she knew about us. I wanted to find out all her secrets; where she would hide as child or what he favorite colour was. I wanted to know everything about her. There was a strong fascination for this human that I didn't fully understand, all I knew was that I would be able to spend hours with her, just listening to her speak.
I hadn't even had a conversation with the girl and yet thought she was gods gift. But something as amazing as her would never want to spend any amount of time with someone like me. I wanted to her to like me, or maybe even more, and the reason to this was, I was falling for her.
As soon as this thought crossed my mind I was appalled at myself. I shouldn't be thinking about this and I was certainly not falling in love with Bella swan, not at all. I didn't even know the girl.
As I began to run in and out the trees, looking for my pray, I forgot about Bella Swan and anything related, but deep at the back of my mind, I knew I was lying to myself.
This has just been edited, please tell me what you think of the ending to the chapter. Before this chapter was much shorter and had a really bad ending, so please review.
