CONFESSIONS “ How often did you come here?” “ I come here almost every night” “ Why?” I whirled, stunned “ You’re interesting when you sleep . You talk“ “ What you heard!” “ You did say my name” “ A lot?” “ How much do you mean by ‘a lot’ exactly?” “ Oh, no” “ Don’t be self-conscious, If I could dream at all, it would about you. And I’m not ashamed of it” "That was the first night I came here. I wrestled all night while watching you sleep, with the chasm between what I knew was right, moral, ethical, and what I wanted. I knew that if I continued to ignore you as I should, or if left for a few years, till you were gone, that someday you would say yes to Mike, or someone like him. It made me angry. And then ..” he whispered “ as you were sleeping, you said my name. You spoke so clearly, at first I thought you’d woken. But you rolled over restlessly and mumbled my name then was unnerving, staggering. And I knew I couldn’t ignore you any longer” He paused “ Should I sing you to sleep?” “ Right One more then, tonight….Well, I did wonder..about you and me..someday..” “ I don’t think that..that..would be possible for us” “ Because it would be too hard for you, if I were that ..close?” “ That’s certainly a problem. But that’s not what I was thinking of. It’s just that you are so soft, so fragile. I have to mind my action every moment that we’re together so that I don’t hurt you. I could kill you quit easily, Bella, simply by accident” His voice had become just a soft murmur. “ If I was too hasty…if for one second I wasn’t paying enough attention, I could reach out, meaning to touch your face, and crush your skull by mistake. You don’t realize how incredibly breakable you are. I can never afford to lose any kind of control when I’m with you” He waited for me and he asked “ Are you scared? “ “ No, I’m fine” “ I’m curious now, thought, have you ever…?” He trailed off suggestively “ Of course not. I told you I’ve never felt like this about anyone before, not even close” “ I know. It’s just that I know other people’s thought. I know love and lust don’t always keep the same company..I may not be a human, but I am a man” he assured me. “ You are my life now” THE HUNT The others returned to the field, warily sweeping the dark forest with their sharp eyes. “ Take your hair down” Edward said in a low, even voice “ The others are coming now” My hair ruffled with the light breeze, Edward stiffened, and the second male, James, suddenly whipped his head around, scrutinizing me, his nostrils flaring. “ You brought a snack?” he asked, his expression incredulous as he took an involuntary step forward “ She’s with us” “ And, of course, we will not harm the human girl. We won’t hunt in your range, as I said” James glanced in disbelief. “ Let’s go Bella” Edward’s voice was low and bleak “ Where are we going?” I asked “We have to get you away from here-far-away-now” “ No, you can’t do this. Edward. Let’s just talk this through” “ You don’t understand. I saw his mind. Tracking is his passion, his obsession-and he wants her, specifically. He being the hunt tonight” “ Why did this happen? Why me? “ “ It’s my fault- I was a fool to expose you like that. I got a good look at his mind tonight. You wouldn’t believe how euphoric he is now. It’s his favorite game, and we’ve just made it his most exciting game ever ” His tone was full of disgust. “ Nothing is going to happen to you, Bella . Just follow the plan, okay?“ THE ANGEL At first the pain was worse, I screamed N thrashed against the cool hands that held me back, I heard Alice's voice, trying to calm me. Something heavy held me leg to the floor, N Carlisle had my head looked in the vise of his stone arms. Then slowly, writhing calmed as my hand grew more N more numb. The fire was dulling, focusing into an ever smaller point. I felt my consciousness slipping as the pain subsided I was afraid to fall into the black waters again, afraid I would lose him in the darkness "Stay, Edward, Stay with me" " I will" AN IMPASSE " I like how u smell " "How did u do it?" I asked quietly . He knew what I meant " I'm not sure" He looked away from my wondering eyes, " It was impossible..to stop" He whispered "I'm possible, But I did" He looked up finally, with half a smile " I must love u " "Don't I taste as good as I smell?" I smiled in response, that hurt my face " Even better, better than I'd imagined" "I'm going to die. I may not die now...but I'm going to die sometime. Every minute of the day, I get closer N I'm going to get old. That's how it's supposed to happen. How it should happen. How it would have happened if I didn't exist- N I shouldn't exist" "That's stupid. That's like going to someone who's just won the lottery, taking theirmoney, N saying...Bella, We're not having this discussion anymore .I refuse to damm u to an eternity of right N that's the end of it" "If u think that's the end, then u don't know me very well " I warned him " u're not the only vampire I know...Alice already saw it. didn't she? I guessed that's why the things she says upset u. She knows I'm going to be like u..someday" "She's wrong. she also saw u dead, but that didn't happen, either..Is that what u dream about? Being a monster?" " Not exactly" I said frowning at his word choice, Monster, indeed " Mostly I dream about being with u forever" "Bella, I will stay with u. isn't that enough?" I smiled under his fingertips "Enough for me" I said " I love more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough?" "Yes , it is enough" He answered, smiling "Enough for forever"
