DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Twilight Saga. And, as much as I wish I did, I don't own the characters either.
A/N remember what a said folks? About the preview? Well, yes, I was serious, I gave loubylou96 a preview of a couple of the paragraphs. So keep reviewing, and next time it might be you!
Chapter 7
Ionas POV:
. . .And I opened my eyes.
* * *
What I saw both shocked me and amazed me, for I could see everything! Every speck of dust that was floating by in the air, every drop of rain that was on the window meters away from me. It was fascinating! That's when I realised what I was. And where I was. I looked quickly – And I mean quickly - to my right, and there he was, standing over me, looking very anxious. My angel, right there. Seth. He gasped when he realised that I'd moved, then took my hand. Surprising myself, not to mention the other people in the room, I snatched my hand away quickly. His skin was burning hot. When I had realised what I'd done, I quickly took his hand back in my own.
"Iona, sweetheart, are you okay?" Oh, his voice. I had never heard anything so beautiful in my life. When I was human, I may as well have been both deaf and blind, for his beauty was over-whelming now, as if I had never seen him before. I figured that everyone was waiting on me to answer Seth, so I closed my gawking mouth for a moment and shook my head slightly, clearing my head and bringing me back to reality.
"I'm. . ." I didn't want to say fine. I was much, much more than fine right now. I sighed. "Amazing" I smiled, making Seth smile too before lifting me into a massive hug, burying his face into the side of my neck, and kissing under my ear.
When we both realised that we weren't the only people in the room, we stood up and Dr Cullen walked towards me.
"Now, I understand this all may be a bit. . . . over powering and confusing, but you will get used to it soon enough. Now," He said, clapping his hands together, "is there a dry burning sensation at the back of you throat at the moment and I-" Before he could continue, one of the other Cullens started talking, while shaking his head. I noticed Bella standing beside him, holding his hand, so I presumed that he was Edward.
"Extraordinary" Edward mused, still shaking his head, and staring at me, clearly astonished by something. I frowned, wanting to know what was going on.
"What? Is something wrong with me?" my voice went up at the end of the sentence, making it sound as if I was hurt by something he had said.
"No!" He laughed "On the contrary, this is very impressive." My face must have shown that I was still confused, but the doctor explained for me.
"You see, as a newborn. . . .v-vampire," He seemed rather reluctant to use the word vampire, as if it may offend me. "you should be. . . .thirsty. More than anything else. You shouldn't be able to think rationally, or ignore your thirst the way you're doing right now." He smiled warmly.
"But how do you know that I'm ignoring it?" In truth, the aching in my throat was a nuisance.
"Well, you're listening to what I am saying. You shouldn't be able to have a conversation with me without, well, letting your thirst take control of your body. Hm. I wonder. . . ." He trailed off, not finishing his sentence, when Edward spoke again.
"Interesting theory, Carlisle." He nodded his head in agreement.
"Okay, what am I missing here?!" I asked desperately. Bella smiled at me and explained.
"You see, some of us have. . . . gifts. Special abilities. Edward," She Made a hand gesture towards her husband, "can read minds. He knows exactly what you're thinking, when you're thinking it!" She added proudly. She laughed when she saw the shocked expression on my face, then Seth nudged me.
"Did I never tell you any of this, sweetheart?" I shook my head at him
"So what was Carlisle. . . thinking?" I asked Edward.
"He thinks that, well, you and Bella both reacted similarly to being a new born, so Carlisle thinks it's because you both knew what was happening to you."
"So. . . what do I do now. My throat feels. . .tight. Is it always like this?" I prayed that it wasn't.
"No," It was Bella who answered. "It's better after you've hunted. We should go just now."
"Hunted?" I must have looked terrified. I'd never been hunting before in my life. Bella laughed light-heartedly.
"Don't worry, it's very easy once you're used to it. It's our instinct to hunt for food. But most of our kind hunt two-legged creatures, not four-legged." She laughed again. I turned around to look at Seth.
"Can you come?" I hoped he would agree. These people were practically strangers. I had met Bella a couple of times, but we weren't close. I would feel more comfortable if Seth was there. He nodded his head, and I smiled widely at him. "Can we go then?" I was getting excited, and the thirst was becoming unbearable. Bella nodded, and led the way to the large window on the far away wall.
She then very casually stepped out and let herself fall gracefully to the ground. Seth then followed, landing just as gracefully, despite his bulky figure. I stepped onto the edge of the window frame and looked down towards the back lawn. It looked far away, but I closed my eyes and leaned over, falling forwards, letting gravity pull me towards the ground, surprising slowly. I landed on the balls of my feet, only inches away from Seth. I opened my eyes and beamed at him. He laughed and gave me a quick peck on the cheek before taking my hand and pulling me towards the forest. Great. Hunting.
Well, There you go. Not really a cliff hanger this time! And I was really happy with the amount of reviews I got for the last chapter! So, I'm thinking I'll update again if I get. . . . 10 reviews. That seems fair! And if I don't get the reviews, then you don't get the chapter! Simples. So, anyway, I will be giving another preview next time, okay. Bye for now people of fanfic!
Over and Out xx
