AN: Thanks to Arabella Whitlock, who has been and is a great help to this story. Thank you so much!
Bella POV
I'm pretty sure the last four deer don't agree, but vampireness is awesome! I loved the speed and grace with which I move, the advanced hearing and eyesight, all of it. But this is only my first day. Maybe after awhile I won't like it so much. But for now I'm gonna enjoy it. And Garrett. I can feel something like a magnetic connection, drawing me closer, but I really just want to go slow. Besides I don't know anything about him. And I'm not one of those girls who needs to find another man as soon as she loses one.
"Are you sure you really want to do this?" I asked Garrett. He was crouched, ready to spring on a stag. "Sure, I already told you that," he said with a smile. I smiled back. "OK. Go for it!" He pouncd, and down the stag went. It never stood a chance. Six more stags for Garrett and three more deer for me later, we started walking back to Garett's house. At a human pace, I might add.
"Hey Bella, I understand you might not want to stay at my house yet, but please let me buy you a house. I've got plenty of money. It tends to accumulate after more than a hundred years." "Garrett, that's really sweet, but I don't want to be any trouble. And houses are a rather expensive gift," I said. "I'm either buying it or building it. Your choice," Garrett said firmly. "Fine, you can buy me a house," I said grudgingly. "And I'm going to fully furnish it." I sighed. "Fine. Thank you very much." "No problem, it'll be fun!" I laughed and nudged his elbow. Garrett nudged me back and some sparkles fell out of me. Wtf? Garrett nudged me again, knocking more sparkles. "Bella, point at something," Garrett said. "Not me!" he added hastily as I turned my finger on him. "Uh, OK?" I pointed at a tree, and a second later a container of glitter sat there. "Bella, I think your gift is magic," Garrett said. "What were you thinking when you pointed at the tree?" "Erm, that I felt like a bottle of craft glitter," I answered. Garrett grinned. "This is an awesome gift! Try again," he encouraged. I pointed at the glitter and it turned back into a tree. Then I pointed at Garrett and gave him a Jesters hat. I laughed. "You're right Garrett, this is an awesome gift! Hey, can I zap myself a house?" "You can try," Garrett replied. I took a breath.
I pointed and imagined my ideal house. It would be beside Garrett's, so we ran ack quickly. Sure enough, a little house sat beside Garrett's. "Let's go decorate!" I said happily. Garrett laughed and we ran in.
We spent the whole day decorating and talking. I learned alot about Garett. He had been in the war with Jasper (that was a painful topic for bot of us, but for different reasons), he liked being a nomad, hs favorite color was read, and he liked biographies. After the house was done, we lay on the roof, enjoying our sparkly skin. "So what are going to do about the Cullens?" asked Garrett. "I don't know. I mean, I'm angry at Edward, but I love the others. They're my only family now. Not that they know that, but still." "I could be your family," Garrett said in mock hurt. "Hey! Why don't you go visit them. I'll come with you." I looked over at him. "Really?" "Sure. And if they really love you, it won't be a problem." I smiled. "Thanks." "No problem. Want to go tomorrow?" "No! I mean, not yet. They all think I'm dead! And what if they're angry because I yelled at Edward? Or what if they found out I lied about Charlie? You know what? I can't do it." Garrett looked at me quizzically. "Bella, they're your family. I have no idea what you were talking about, but if they really care, it won't matter. You're going to go visit tomorrow." I huffed. "Bossy." Garrett laughed. "I'm going to head home. See you tomorrow." "Bye. Thanks for not letting me die and being a good friend that I barely know." "No problem! Ciao!" I waved, but he was already gone. I fought the urge to follow him, ignoring the pull that drew me to him.
The next morning I showered quickly... and then took an hour to decide what to wear. I finally decided on a HallHuber Lace top, skinny jeans, and a pair of sandals. I brushed my hair, and ran downstairs. A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. "Come in!" I shouted. Garrett entered. "Are you ready to go?" he asked. I shook my head but said "I guess."
