In this chapter it will get steamy. We know that Menah have these strange feelings for Edward. And the closer she is the more her other side get loose. And my favorite character throughout Twilight is Jasper. So I want them to be good friends.
Later that night Menah was in her room reading the last part of the first chapter. Her curiosity set in when she read a certain part. It said for one to clutch onto the way of controlling your powers you must use them. Call your inner self and get connected as one. She put on some rain boats and a heavy coat over her pajamas. Charlie was in his room so she able sneak down the stairs.
Outside I climbed into my car and drove a ways down to make sure no one would stumble upon me seeing that it was still light outside, but the sun was going to set soon. I drove out on a rode surrounded tall, thick trees. Getting out and listening for animals, I walked a good distance until I found a clearing just as the sun was going down, soon to be dark.
The book was set in front of me as I stood in the middle of the clearing. The first thing to do is clear me head. I closed my eyes and stood still trying to find me inner self. In the book it said, a sighting of one's power is through the palm of their hands.
My eyes opened and I turned my hands to a tree in front of me. I tried to picture something, but nothing help. I felt stupid. I was moving my hands down when a light flashed out of my hand. It had so much power, I was knocked down.
I held my head and got up to see a woman in a long green dress with leaves on it. Her hair was long and black, at this it looked that way in the near dark. She smiled in my direction.
"Hello Menah. You finally made it into adulthood and onto your true destiny." She spoke with such warmth.
"What do you mean?" I took a step closer and said, "I need someone to explain this. Not have to read it out a book." I was frustrated. Why didn't she been come?
"You are the last of your kind, Menah." She grabbed my hands, "Things will get complicated. It's what all Eternals go through. We each are challenged to determine if we are good enough. That's where the bad come from."
I nodded my head and said, "What can help me?"
"Be true to yourself and don't let anyone walk over you. You fight for what's yours. You soon will be on your mission to determine where you go."
"I don't even know what I am."
"And that's alright because you will learn in time. It's a natural ability."
I pleaded with her, "Can you not stay and here and guide me. I have no one else to teach me."
Her hand came up to my face. "We are nature's creatures. We are more animal, but we are in control and we connect to the elements. Remember my words child. You have the appearance and qualities of a human, but you are beast too. Control yourself, however you stay who you are."
Her body was started to turn translucent when she said, "A little hint about the book; not everything is answered to your thoughts. So hold the book close and ask your questions, child."
With that she was gone. My arms had goose bumps on them. I wasn't cold though with the heavy coat, but the feeling I had gotten when she left. I headed home to sleep off today's events.
Next Day at School
My nerves wouldn't calm down. My head was still thinking about the stranger visitor, Edward, and my unfamiliar behavior. The school usual English classroom didn't ease my emotions. I would have to speak to him for the rest of the year and I have to deal with it.
As the bell rang a smell of fresh water and woods hit me. I looked towards my right and seen Edward taking his seat.
He looked at me and said, "Are you okay?"
My face showed my confusion when I said, "Yeah…Why do you ask?"
"You practically tackled down the teacher to get out of year yesterday." He smirked at his own comment like he knew it was going to upset me.
And it did. My heart increase was the cause of his smile and the little anger at his remark. "Well it's none of your business now is it? We might be partners, but I'll take shit from no one."
His silence was a sign to drop the conversation. The teacher talked about word usage and ideas for implying to what an author means when they put what they write in their work. My eyes would swing to the clock then the teacher every five to ten minutes. And we still have too much time in here.
"Okay class. I need you all to get with your partners to discuss what book you want to read in order to begin the essay." She walked around and handed each person a sheet of paper telling us the requirements for the essay.
I turned to Edward, "So do you have a book in mind that you want to write about?"
He tilted his head then said, "Not really, but we have our own personal library at home… maybe you should come over after school to check it out. That way we can agree on something."
I mentally groaned. I didn't him to know something was up so I said, "Sure. I can do that. I'll follow you in my car. God forbid my friends try to take it for a drive." I was happy when he didn't bring up what I did yesterday.
He let out a chuckled, "So I've heard."
After our discussion the bell signaled us for next period. We both still had gym together so I ended up walking next to him. It was silent as he headed to the gym.
Today everyone had to run the field a couple of times to try and determine if we were fit or not. And I have to say that a lot of kids needed to lay off fast food. I was on my fifth lap when Edward sped up to my side.
I slowed down to a walk and asked, "Is there something you needed?" Did I come off as rude?
Edward eyebrow's raised up. "Something I'm curious about that I want to ask?"
He pauses. "Well. Spit it out."
He smirks at my impatient statement. "Yesterday, at lunch, you were different. Why is that? You're shy. I can tell that much. But what lead to the sudden change?"
He sounded so curious, but I didn't really have an answer to that. I had to figure out what I was. It had me think about the smell that surrounded him and his family. No human smells that way.
"Honestly I have no idea. And I don't want to know. It's in the past so leave it that way." I ran ahead and when the gym entrance was there I went inside to take a quick shower and get dress.
The rest of the day passed like the beat of my heart. It was time to meet up with Edward and head to his home. My car was parked a little far from the building that I went to first class. I noticed a Volvo now parked next to it. As I opened my phone I was texting Candice that I wasn't going down right away, someone popped up beside me and I dropped my phone. A hand quickly grabbed it. I looked up to see Edward.
"Did you really have to pop outta nowhere like that?" I took my phone back. "So what's the reason for scaring me?"
He looked towards the car next to mine and said, "Well I do have to show you the way to my home, don't I?"
I nodded my head. "Okay lead the way."
We both got in our cars and drove our way through the crowd of impatient teens trying to get out the lot. In a few minutes He sped off ahead of me and I pressed the gas. The asshole drives fast, but I keep up and drive faster.
Ten minutes pass by and we end up park in front of the most amazing house I've ever seen. It was three stories high and had a lot of glass walls. Edward startled me when he opened my door. He smirks at my small yelp. He holds out his hand and I grabbed it and got out.
I turned to look at him, "Your house is like whoa. Please tell me you're going to give me a tour."
"Of course I will. That will be rude of me not to."
I look around and notice the garage door open and many cars parked inside. His family has to be filthy rich. When we got closer to the house I smelt the same smell, but it was stronger. It was all over the property.
We walked in and I was instantly hooked. The layout of the house so far was beautiful. Edward took off my light coat that showed my black V-neck that showed of my curves. He took my hand, with me blushing, and brought me to the living room. We put our bags on the couch.
"I want you to meet the family first. They should be on their way from downstairs now." As soon as he said that the family started pilling in the room.
"You have seen everyone, but you haven't been introduced. My adoptive father and mother are Carlisle and Esme."
Esme came up and hugged me. I went straight to thinking about my mother. It made me hug her back tighter. When she let go I smiled.
Edward continued, "My sisters are Rosalie and Alice. And my brothers are Emmett and Jasper."
Alice came and gave me a hug and said, "I know I'm going to like you. Your clothes are absolutely amazing."
"Thanks. I sew them myself. Well half of them." I shied away from her awe struck look.
Feeling brave I said, "Well I'd gotten two hugs so far anyone else wants one?"
Emmett laughed and stepped up to me. He picked me up and gave me a bear hug. I laughed and hugged him back. I was really a family person. I was still laughing when he put me down. I look up to see Rosalie.
Rosalie actually glared at me with menace in her eyes. See I do not disrespect anyone who's earned it and my reaction didn't go unnoticed. I glared back at her and growled in my throat. Realizing what I did I brushed it off and turned to Jasper.
He always looked like he was in pain. Jasper is one of those people that want trust before you get involved in his life. I smiled at him and held out my hand. He grabbed it and was surprised about my firm handshake. He gave me a small smile and nodded his head.
And last Doctor Cullen. "It's good to see that you're better."
I nodded, "Yeah. I just hope it doesn't happen again, Doctor Cullen."
"No need for that. Just call me Carlisle."
The mother piped in, "And you can call me Esme."
After the introductions Edward showed me around the house. I knew the whole place now. He never showed me his room, but told me where it was. I found it odd though. I just let it go as we head to his home library.
"This is a nice collection." I went up to a shelf. "You even have old books."
"With a big family that likes to read, we need to keep a lot of books here."
We grabbed a couple of books that we picked out together that we might write about. When we sat on the couch Edward left no room between us. I picked up a book and tried to stop the assault my stomach was doing to my nerves.
I opened the book and glanced at Edward. My heart started to beat a little faster. The same feelings I got in class with Edward increased. It came so suddenly I wasn't prepared and a moan slipped passed my lips.
"Are you okay?" Edward spoke from beside me.
I nodded my head, "Y-yeah. I had just… hit my hand on the book." Best lie ever. Note the sarcasm.
"Really? That's funny because you set it on the table before you could hit your hand."
Short Edward's POV
Menah sat on the couch and I followed her lead. They girl would leave me incredibly curious and it's only been two days since I saw her. And what really had me was the lustful scent she gave off every time she was around me.
I sat close to her unconsciously. She picked up a book and opened it. From my line of vision I can see her look at me. After a minute she put it down. She seemed like she didn't realize it.
Her heart beat increased and her scent covered her in under mere seconds. Then unexpectedly a moan escaped her full lips. A tent was going to appear in my pants if she continued.
I asked her, "Are you okay?"
I could hear the lie in her voice when she said it. And it was a failed excused anyway.
"Really? That's funny because you set it on the table before you could hit your hand."
She didn't answer me. I gently grabbed her chin and turned pulled her head closer to mine.
Back to Menah
His lips, they were so soft, yet cold. This was my first kiss with anyone. My hands went around his neck and grabbed his hair. Another small moan slipped passed my lips. It felt so right just to be in his arms.
We were lost in the moment, our lips moving in a fast pace. I pulled away because of my lack of breathe. His lips moved onto my neck. He found my pulse and sucked on my neck. That made the heat between my legs increase. It caused me to growl and pulled him in for another kiss.
Control yourself.
One of his hands went under my skirt, on my thigh, where he began to stroke it up and down. A whimper was released and I could feel my inner thighs get soaked.
We are more animal.
You are beast too.
The woman's words ran through my head. It made me stop and realized what was going on. I pulled away from like I was burned. I didn't even look at him as I picked up my bag and put my stuff inside.
Before I left I moved a book towards him that I wanted to read.
Edward looks down at the table confused and angry. He lost control, but he was didn't hurt her…yet.
He saw The Great Gatsby.
I also don't own the idea of Eternals. I got the ideas from Marvel.
