"Bella, what are those markings on your skin." Those eight words ruined my world. I had tried so hard to hide my markings, but they couldn't stay covered forever. In that one moment, I had just risked my life. I looked around at all the faces I had come to know and love. When they found out what I was, would they still love me? Carlisle's face reflected a spark of recognition. "Bella, are you-" I never let him finish his sentence. I was out the door, running as fast as I could go. As soon as I hit the line of trees, I started to fly. My markings disappeared, and I felt the wind through my entire body. I flew for ten minutes before I found a clearing to stop and think in. I knew I would have to tell them my story know, and I would just have to deal with the consequences of that decision. If they killed me, I could deal with that. But I finally realized, that I was in love with Edward. It wasn't a crush. It was love at first sight. I had been unconsciously pushing these thoughts back. From the time I first looked into his topaz eyes, I had fallen, and fallen hard for him.
I had gathered my thoughts when the Cullen's came running up. I looked up and saw Edward kneeling in front of me. I suddenly felt self-conscious, looking into his eyes. He would be repulsed when he knew what I was. But the odd thing was, that when I looked even deeper into his eyes, I saw love there. Well, when he finds out what I am, he won't care. That love will soon turn to hate. "Bella-" he began. I cut him off. "I have been hiding a huge secret from you guys, and because of my stupidity, it may cost you all you lives." I looked into each of their eyes before starting my story…
"I am a faerie from Versay, they only faerie kingdom. I am also the last living faerie alive. I was born seventy years ago, but I was different from the other faeries. I was born on the new year, on a full moon. No other faerie has been born since then. Normal fairies are born with one power, but I was born with four. I can control water, fire, earth, and air. I have been very careful to never use my powers unless needed for fear that someone will discover me and turn me in. Also, the markings you saw on my back are my wings. When a faerie's wings aren't out, they can mold, if that's the best word, them to their body, and they look like tattoos. That's why I never change in front of you Alice. Anyway, back to my story. I was different, and not because of my power. Most faeries are content with living the simple life and never leaving Versay. I, on the other hand, was a rebellious faerie. I would rather wear dark earthy tones rather than flowery colors for clothes, and I wanted to travel and be free of the norm for my kind. At the age of seventeen, which is when my people stop aging and become adults, I ran away. I never knew how wise, yet stupid that choice was. I stayed away for thirty years, and was happy. I never expected to come back and find my life ruined. I missed my family and friends, and soon returned to Versay." At this point in my story I stopped talking to take a deep breath. I had never verbally remembered my past, and it was hard.
"When I returned, I found the city in ruins. I wandered through the streets, looking at the memories of my past, and crying over the lost lives. I returned to my childhood home, and saw that someone had left a faerie message, which is a message only faeries can read, and saw that the Volturi," I snarled this part, "had come and destroyed my kingdom. The Volturi had found that when you kill a faerie, you become more powerful. They also killed them because a faeries blood is more potent to any vampire. We may not smell it, but that is a defensive tool we have. The smell of our blood makes it seem as if we taste horrible, but in reality, we are more delicious than humans. That is the reason that the Volturi killed my race."
I am the last faerie alive. I wandered for years, hiding from the Volturi, but I was soon found out by 3 vampires named James, Victoria, and Laurent. They had heard about the legend of the faerie race, and they were surprised to see me, but knew that in killing me and drinking my blood, they would have great power. I was scared, and managed to kill James, but I paid a heavy price. Victoria and Laurent had drank my blood and gained power, for they had none. Victoria gained the power of being able to escape from any problem, and Laurent is now a deadly tracker. He's almost as good as the Volturi's tracker, but it won't work on me. That is why you can't read my mind Edward. He reads the rhythm, I guess, of your mind and he can find you anywhere just from the rhythm. Both of your powers deal with the minds, when Jasper actually calms you down, and Alice actually sees what the person will do. I have hunted them from time to time, but now I just try to avoid them because they are out to kill me and drink my blood to make them stronger. My blood is more powerful than other's because of my powers."
"I know that you are all wondering how I could trust you guys after my past. But it's because of your eyes. I knew you were veggie vampires, and from experience, I knew you wouldn't hurt me. I know that you will all be repulsed by me now, and that you are probably wondering how I could be so stupid to even think that you would accept me, and I'm sorry. You can turn me into the Volturi now, or find Victoria and Laurent and give me up to them."
I closed my eyes, waiting for the vampires to attack me. But instead I felt cold, yet gentle arms wrapping around me. I looked up into the eyes of Edward and saw him looking furious, anguished, and sad all at the same time. "Bella," he began, "how could anyone hate such a beautiful, loving, amazing girl such as you?" I looked around and saw that they had all left and he was running. We then stopped at a beautiful meadow. It was so amazing and beautiful; for once in my life I had nothing to say. Edward put me down, and waited for my answer. "Edward, don't you even care that I'm putting your family in danger the longer I stay here. It would save you lives if you made me leave," I said, hoping he would say 'GO AWAY', but also hoping he would ask me to stay.
"You silly, silly girl. Ever since I first looked into your eyes, I subconsciously knew that you were the only one I ever want to love. I fell hard for you Bella, I just never realized it until today. I didn't want to accept my feeling for fear you would leave bu-" I cut him off with my lips, molding myself to him. He was shocked for a second, but quickly and eagerly participated and molded his lips to mine. I pulled back for air (yes, I breathe air), and looked into his eyes. "Isabella, I know this may be too early, but I love you," Edward said, and I swear I looked like I had just been told that black and white was outlawed. He mistook my reaction and said, "Oh my gosh Bella. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of said that! UGH! I'm so stupid. I just ruined eve-" Once again I silenced him with my lips. I pulled back and said, "Edward, I love you. I never realized it until recently, and not saying anything was the stupidest thing I've ever done. Of course its not too early. True love know no limits or boundaries." He kissed me again, and we sat there, relishing in the company of each other and thinking over how lucky we are to have each other.
Okay, so I felt really bad for leaving you with such a big cliffie, so I decided to give you the next chapter early, and include two surprises!! Since nobody guessed what Bella is, that idea bites. So now I'm just gonna ditch that idea. Also, I know it's a little early, but I might write a sequel. I might just end it with the only bad vampire interaction being Victoria and Laurent, but if I write a sequel, it will be about the Volturi. I want to hear your input. Any ideas you guys have I would love to hear. IMPORTANT! Someone reviewed my story, and I can't see you penname. The review said, "Can I help you with your story." I am really stupid so if this is something I should know, whatevs. Okay, l8r chica's (and maybe chico's)
