It was so beautiful out here in the wild expanse of trees and dirt. I loved the solidity of it all. The alone feeling it gave me and yet the closeness I felt to everything in the world.
It's something you just can't explain on a blog entry. The way the world is innocent to some and then completely harsh to others. You can't learn everything from a computer screen. It was fall and the trees where bare, there leaves cluttered and scuttling across the ground in dashes of red, orange, yellow, and brown. I had just shut my eyes and took a deep breath when something heavy started crunching leaves behind me. I blocked it out for a moment more, but it felt like someone was watching me.
"Hello there." A voice spoke up and I jumped reeling around in my seat on a fallen log. I fell backwards and hit the ground with a thump, which was met by a musical tinkling laugh. "That was very graceful."
"I'm sorry but do I know you?" I pushed myself up from the ground taking in his appearance. He was impossibly beautiful with pale skin and messy bronze hair. Slender and yet muscular at the same time.
He cleared his throat and offered a hand, a teasing half smile playing on his lips. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
I couldn't pull my eyes away from his topaz stare, but I managed to push myself up without his help. "Who are you?"
"Oh me?" He drew his hand back and placed it on the trunk of a tree, staring intently at its bark. "I'm no one."
"Why are you here?" I was taking in the line of his jaw, such an angular face.
"I smelled something good." He gave another laugh, musical and beautiful. His eye's rose up to the sky. "You should probably go inside, it looks like rain."
"It always looks like rain in Forks." I corrected him, but still I took a step back, him stepping forward at the same time. "Who are you?"
"The better question is, who are you?" He was close enough now for me to feel his breath on my face. How did he get so close, so quickly? His hand brushed back some stray hairs and tucked them behind my ear, his skin radiated coldness.
"My name is Bella."
"Well It was lovely meeting you Bella, Now get inside before It rains." And with that he was stepping backwards. Waving at me as he disappeared into the trees. It took me a moment before I could move again, but when I had ran in the direction he was heading, he was already gone and rain drops where starting to kiss my skin.
(A/N) Thanks for the review ashmarquez77! I think I'd be totally freaked out too, but Bella can handle anything! :]
