Chapter 4

Surprise

Edward's POV

I turned to the direction where it came from. Then I was surprised to see who it was. I didn't notice that my feet were moving not until I was behind her.

I tapped her back expecting her to turn around but she didn't. She just continued sobbing and sobbing.

After a few minutes I became impatient so I tapped her back again, this time she turned around to look at who it was.

She was surprise to see me there. Just as I was about to formally introduce myself to her, I suddenly looked into her eyes and couldn't help but get caught in them. I was stunned to see her face, her blond hair and … blue eyes? I didn't notice that earlier.

My gaze locked into her sapphire eyes. I tried to look away but, I can't. It was like I was trapped in the depths of her ocean blue eyes.

What's happening to me?! 'Shit Edward pull yourself together!' I thought

Then suddenly I heard her laugh. But there was something that caught my attention, her musical voice.

"Oh, hey you must be Edward Cullen?" She asked

How did she know my name?! This girl, she confuses me yet she amazes me at the same time.

"Yeah, just call me Edward and you are?" I asked nervously

"Sabel Volturi or Isa, whatever you prefer." she said before she stretched her hand out to me so that I can shake it.

She surprised me there, I thought all the Volturi's were sadistic but, she isn't. She's quite the opposite in fact.

I took her hand in my own and shook it. I felt an electric spark the moment I touched her hand.

I have never experience that feeling since so long ago. Only Bella make me react like that. I pulled my arm back and suddenly found the ground interesting.

"Uh, no offense but how do you know my name?" I asked skeptically, as I looked at her.

"Ah, about that. Well, Aro told me about your family. He described all of you, your appearance and your gift but he didn't show me a picture."

"Oh, I guess he described us correctly."

"Yeah, I guess."

"Oh I wanted to ask you, if you don't mind. Why were you crying? And why are there tears in your eyes?" I asked

She intrigued me. She's a vampire but why were are tears in her eyes. Usually vampires don't have tears because we're frozen, it means that our body can't change anymore.

"It's one of my gifts. I can control it but sometimes, it gets the better of me." she said

"You said one of your gifts, what does that mean?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. Aro told me to never broadcast it to anyone because he quoted 'It's for your protection' ''

Aro must be overprotective of her, he's afraid to lose her. I chuckled then I saw Sabel frown and look away.

Why? What did I do to make me offend her?

"You must know him first before you judge him?" she said.

Who's he? I asked inwardly

She continued "Aro is an overprotective father of mine, he's not afraid to lose me, in fact he wants me to find a mate so I can be happy and he's willing to let me go if I wish to but I don't want to. He's just worried about me getting hurt."

"I'm sorry if I judged him easily like that. I mean, if you look at the point about killing other vampires, just to gain the power and the fame, you can't blame me about what I was thinking about him." I defended myself.

The uncomfortable silence had past but she just continue on looking on the same direction so, I decided to break it.

"I'm really, really sorry about what I said and about offending you." I apologize

"Let's just not think of it anymore. I mean, you're right, I can't blame you because you don't know him." she said with an apologetic face and sat on the stone she was sitting before.

"Would you mind if I sit beside you?" I asked

"Oh sure" she said with enthusiasm

We talked about ourselves, laughing and chuckling all the time.

I felt like I already knew her, like were friends before or even more. Every time she touches me I always feel the electric shock that confuses me the most.

I didn't notice the time until it was already twilight.

"Oh I have to go it's already twilight, Aro must be worrying about me" She said

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't notice that we talked for about 5 hours" I apologize. She suddenly look at me, straightly to my golden eyes. Confused.

"Sorry? For what?" she asked

"For talking to you for about 5 hours and keeping you away from Aro" I said then she laughed. I love to hear her laugh, it kinda soothes me.

"Oh that, It's nothing. It's my fault too, if I didn't talked to you it wouldn't happen" she said with a smile that stunned me for a moment then I collected myself

"You know, you must smile frequently, it makes you more beautiful"

"Err…. Thanks"

"I have to go. Bye Edward" she started walking in a human pace.

"Wait" I said then grabbed her arm. She turned to my direction quickly with a dumbfounded face

"Can I get your number, so we can get in touch?" I asked timidly. I don't know where those nerves came from in getting her number.

She chuckled then gave me a piece of paper. "That's the number of Volterra castle, I'm sorry I can't give you my personal number. But you can call it and ask the receptionist to talk to me." She said

"Thank you" with that she disappear in a matter of second; I didn't notice that she neither ran nor walked.

On my way back home. I saw Alice bouncing at her feet, I know why she acted like that. But I ignore her and walk straightly to Carlisle office to ask him the question that confused me the most.
