Chapter 49 Maribella
EDWARD'S POV
Don't you remember when we first met?
Remember? What was I to remember? We met in the woods, and she was hurt. Period.
Remember. The words were whispered to me again. I looked over at Bella as we stopped in the hall. She was so beautiful, dressed with such care in white and blue with the barest hint of silver and gold.
Bella left me standing there and started to ascend the stairs. When had we reached the stairs? One minute we were standing in the hall and now I was at the foot of the staircase. She was beckoning me to follow.
With the first step I took, a long forgotten memory washed over me. I raced up the stairs, happiness surpassing anything I had ever felt before.
"Bella, I promise to one day marry you."
"Are you a dream?"
"No, I'm not."
"You have to be a dream. This doesn't feel real."
"Tell me this doesn't feel real."
I watched the replay as I, but yet it couldn't be me, captured Bella's lips in a tender kiss.
"I will marry you, Bella. This is one promise I will remember."
I once again watched as I kissed her.
"When we next met, I vow to win your heart."
Bella vanished as the door opened and Maribella entered.
"Master Cullen, what are you doing in my chambers?"
"Isabella," I told her.
"Who is Isabella?"
"A dream, I believe." I felt a wave wash over me. "Yes, that's what it was. Forgive my intrusion," I said, walking out of the room.
"Master Cullen," Maribella said, calling me back. "You will not see her again nor remember meeting her. You are not her destiny, at least not yet. Her time has not come. My father and the mages are not ready to accept you and your kind."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"You will understand one day. Now go, your family is waiting. One more thing, forget her."

An unknown danger was coming, but for this one night, I knew without a doubt the enemy would be held at bay.
