I'm sorry for writing so late. I didn't know senior year was all this work. But when the school breaks come up you'll get more chapters.

To The Dreamer: We'll just have to see how they react to that and Bella is a little jealous.

The rest of the summer passed as I studied for my exams for junior year. The rest of my time I've been using my powers, but I can't control it when it gets too powerful. The forest would always be alive when I practice. The book even held potions and spells that I recognized from the box of items left by my parents. But I didn't dare temp to make it just in case anything happened.

Edward hasn't made his move yet like I was expecting as if he was trying to give me space from my shouting. He did text me every now and then asking to see if I was alright. Lately I've been getting this feeling of being watched or something. I would get this chill as if I was in danger and Edward gave off that vibe so I've been cautious of my surroundings.

One day Alice and Rose were with me by the lake where I been to frequently now. We sat on a large rock in our bikinis. Mine was black with white skulls. An idea popped into my head, "You guys." They turned to me, "I know I still didn't tell you what I was, but it would be dangerous to anyone so I can show you what I can do." I got up and walked to the edge of the lake. We were on a short cliff over the water. "Come on." I said to them before I jumped in.

The cold water splashed around me and I was engulfed in the dark water. My eyes were closed, concentrating. When I was last in water I grew gills. My neck started to tingle and I could breathe without the worry of getting air. Two splashed came from the side of me. Alice and Rosalie were in the water perfectly still, watching me breathe from my neck. Their expressions were shocked.

When I started to started to swim farther down I thought I saw a big figure in the water a little ways away from us. My necklace glowed in the water and it flicker as if it was it was giving me a warning. The shadow disappeared before I could get a better view on it. But it didn't look to be a fish. It was too big of a fish to live in a lake like this.

Alice brought my attention back to her when she swam closer to me. I smiled and started to move my hand in the water in swirling motions. The water began to move as the same movements and we spun with the water as it moved us around with it. But I stopped before I anything can get out of my control.

Ever since then I've been having that feeling that I was being watched. It was more than one person at that. I could feel the bloodlust come from whatever it was. And whatever or whoever it was hidden from the vampires. No one seemed to get the feeling I had when I was around them. I became cautious and paranoid some of the time when the feeling got too overbearing. But one day I would have to see what it was watching me.

Charlie and Bella left to go to work an hour ago. I sat on the couch watching Phantom of the Opera. The part when they started to singing The Point of No Return when a knock was sound at the door. I turned the TV up so I could hear the music when I answer the door. I got up and pulled down my flare skirt and fixed my tank top. I opened the door to see Edward.

"Hello Menah." He gave me his legendary smirk. He pulled out flowers from behind his back. "I was wondering if we could… hang out today. That's if you'd like to?" I stared at the blue orchids that he held in his hand. He remembered my favorite flower. When I didn't answer he handed me the orchids and started to back away from the door.

Quickly I grabbed his hand and pulled him inside the house. "You owe me or did you forget?" I put the flowers on the table. "Wait here while I change my clothes." I walked away shaking my head and paused the movie. It stopped on the part when Christine rips off the Erik's mask. Without looking back at Edward I went upstairs.

I went straight for my closet as my stomach started to tingle with excitement. My body refused to calm down at the idea of Edward staying downstairs while I was here. My wardrobe door was open and I opened it to see both sides of clothing pushed to the side and one outfit hanging in the middle. I stared until realization hit me. Alice must have known about this. It was a dress I made for the fall time last year. It was a dark blue, skater dress and it has white vine designs. It came up to my mid thighs and it fitted me. Taking the dress I had added a pair or knee high, brown boots with black socks coming over my knees so it showed off and got dressed. With a sweater for the cold air.

My reflection in the mirror held a hidden excitement. It was hard to think about Edward and I was starting to move along. There was this feeling in me that he would go back to Bella. It's good to know that they were over, but it might get awkward. The thoughts were vanished from my head as I started to put on my clothes. My mind was in a rush and I was done dressing in five minutes.

Edward turned his head in my direction when he heard me coming down the steps. A gentle smile came across his face. "You look beautiful Menah." I looked down telling him my thanks. "Don't be shy now. We are way pass that stage don't you think?"

I nodded my head. "Of course I do. It's just that we haven't really hung out that involved us…" I couldn't really think of what the possibly that we would end up together let alone say it aloud to him. "Um… are you ready to go?" He didn't question me, but he held out his hand inviting me to join him.

After an hour or two of driving we made it to Seattle. I was looking out the window when Edward said, "You remember that day for lunch when you were singing on the table?" I nodded my head, confused. "Well I thought you were having so much fun. Alice told me about this karaoke bar…" My eyes widen, "I think you could handle yourself just fine."

"Edward you didn't." He was smiling. "How the hell can you sign me up for that? You know what don't answer that."

The car pulled up in a parking lot next to a nice size building called Rhythm Night. Edward came to my side of the car and opened the door. The evening air blew around us making me shiver. But sigh in content. Edward put my hand on his arm and we walked to the building blasting music.

The inside of the place had a bar with tables and booths to sit at. On the other side of the place there was a stage where a couple was singing. They looked happy. My heart warmed at the sight and I turned to look at Edward who was staring at me. A hostess came up and escorted us to a booth close to the back against the wall.

We sat down on opposite sides and the woman took our order for a drink. I ordered lemonade and Edward just ordered water. He didn't eat, but he had to keep up the appearance. The coupe on the stage was done when the hostess left. This makes me also forget the hell Edward put me in. It did make me think of what we could have been doing if we were together and Bella never showed up.

Edward voice cut off my thinking. "So Menah," I looked to Edward with my eyebrows raised, "You never exactly told anyone what you really are." Jumping right into it I guess.

"It's for your own safety. Something or someone is following me. If they knew how close you were to me they would not hesitate to hurt you." I looked to at the table. "I would never forgive myself if that ever happen Edward."

He grabbed my hand that was on the table. "I would do anything to protect you. I was a fool to even ask Bella out. I can't ask for your forgiveness, but I will make it up to you. I promised." He kissed the back of my hand.

Someone stepped up on the stage. A teen about 18 was talking, "This night has been going so smoothly. But I believe we should pick it up a little. Our next singer for tonight is, Menah Swan."

The hand Edward was still holding squeezed his tightly and he winced. I pulled my hand from him and got up. I already knew this was coming. I went to climb on the stage and the boy grabbed my hand. He handed me the microphone and told me good luck.

I went to the middle of the stage and a song started to play. I looked at the back wall where they held a TV to show the lyrics. It was Chandelier by Sia. I knew this song. I took a deep breath as the song started. I watched as the people stared at me. I went along with the beat and started dancing. They were enjoying it so much that they started to clap along with the music.

My breath was gone as I finish the song. My chest was raising and falling fast from singing. The people clapped loudly and I put the mic down and Edward was standing in front of the stage. He grabbed my hand and I climbed down the steps as the people were cheering. The smile on my face started to ache, but it didn't dare leave my face.

We sat back at our booth. For a few hours we talked and I ate my food while he would past me his when I was done. My appetite had grown since I woke up. We ended up leaving after three hours.

Edward pulled up in front of my house. I turned to look at him. "Today was awesome. I had a good time. We have to do this again."

He took off his seatbelt and got out the car and opened my door. "As did I. We can find somewhere else to go next time." I climbed out the car with his help. The heels were somewhat painful. I closed the door and leaned on it.

Edward hovered above me and gazed into my eyes. I held my breath and moved my face closer to his. I went pass his lips and kissed his cheek. His body relaxed and he let out a sigh. I touch his cheek then moved from by him. He leaned off the car as I made my way to the door. I unlocked the door as he was getting in his car. I waved as he drove off and I went inside.

The TV was on and Charlie was on the couch. A squeal came from me and Charlie turned to me. "Where did you go?" he got up from the couch.

"Edward came over and he wanted to hang out. We went to Seattle and ate at a karaoke bar." I peeled the heels off of my feet and put them on the floor. "He entered my name in to sing." I laughed at that.

Bella come from out of the kitchen. She looked a little ticked, but I just smiled. "Did you have fun?" She asked me. I nodded my head and said, "Yeah. We're going out again another day too." I said that to see her reaction.

Her mouth gapped open, but she didn't say anything. Charlie watched us worried, "Don't worry Dad. I'm headed to bed." I picked up my shoes and went up to my room.

After showering and changing into my pj's I laid down in the bed with some classical music in the background. I was almost asleep when something entered my room. I tensed for a second to realize it was Edward. His scent was close to me and he sat on the bed. I opened my eyes to see him above me. He ran his hand through my hair and I fell asleep.
