Cold Ones and Wolves

Chapter Nine: Edward

A/N: Thank you all for reviewing!

I don't own Twilight or New Moon

Isabella Swan November 4, 1885

I stayed in bed all morning. I didn't feel like doing anything, just laying there staring at nothing. My father was at work and my mother was gone with Jessica's mother. Emma came in and asked what was wrong; I said that I was just tired. I didn't care, I really didn't care what he and his family was. They were nice to me, so why did it matter. It doesn't, it doesn't, I keep telling myself, but I knew that wasn't true. It does matter that I don't care, something is wrong with me. I keep wishing to see him even though it is dangerous for me to be with him.

"Ms. Bella?" said William on the other side of the door.

"Yes, William," I said sitting up on my bed. The door opened and Williams's warm face came in.

"You have a letter Ms. Bella from Mr. Edward Cullen," said William smiling walking over to me, handing me the letter. I felt my heart skip a beat.

"Thank you William, say hello to your wife for me," I said smiling.

"I will, Ms. Bella," he smiled then walked out, closing the door behind him. I looked down at the paper to see that it was shaking, the paper wasn't shaking it was my hands. I looked at the front of the letter to see the same elegant handwriting, spelling out my name. I slowly started to open it. I opened the letter to read:

Dearest Bella,

I wish to see you as soon as possible; I have something I must tell you. Though I believe someone else has already told you. Bella, if you do not wish to see or hear from me again, just send back this letter and on my honor I will respect your wish. But please, Bella, I need to tell you something.

Eternally Yours,

Edward

I put down the letter and jumped up rushing to get ready, I was going to see him again. I couldn't help but smile at the thought. I quickly threw my long brown hair up in a bun with two pieces of hair framing my face. I rushed downstairs and told William to get the carriage ready. He smiled at me and left. When he came back, he escorted me to the carriage. I then saw Jacob. He was smiling at me and his deep brown eyes sparkle with happiness.

"Bella, where am I taking you?" he asked smiling at me, helping me into the carriage.

"To the Cullen's house, please," I said. His smile quickly fell, and muttered something then closed the carriage door. I sat there thinking about what Edward needed to tell me, that he was a vampire? What would I tell him, that I didn't care? The carriage ride took along time; I believe Jacob had something to do with that. But slowly the carriage stopped and Jacob opened the door. His face was grim, and that usual smile and laughed in his eyes were gone.

"The Cullen's house," he muttered looking down at the ground as he helped me out of the carriage.

"Thank you Jacob," I said.

His head shoot up as he looked at me, "Bella, please be careful," he whispered. I nodded and quickly walked to the front door, I knocked once and then the door opened.

"Bella," said Alice smiling widely at me, "Come in." She opened the door more and I walked in. I turned my head and saw Jacob kicking a rock with his hands in his pockets, glaring at the forest. I turned back to Alice who was smiling. I looked around the house; it was just as beautiful as I remembered it. Alice led me into one of the rooms. Then she turned and walked out. I sat on one of the chairs looking around the room. It was beautiful and my eyes landed on the grand piano, I wonder who plays. I slowly got up and walked over to it. I couldn't play the piano, but still it is such a beautiful instrument. I dare not touch it in fear of breaking it, with my luck it would.

"Do you play?" asked the angelic voice behind me. I felt my heart start pounding, it was Edward. I quickly turned and shook my head. His face was as angelic as I remember it. But his eyes looked so sad. He walked over to the piano and sat down on the bench. He slowly started to play, the most beautiful song I have every heard. I closed my eyes and smiled, just listing to the music. The music then came to a sweet end, letting the last note stay in the air slowly fainting into nothing. I slowly opened my eyes to see Edward starting at me. I felt myself blush and I looked down at my feet. I felt a cold hand gently grab my hand. I looked at my hand to see two pale hands surrounding it. I looked up to see Edward looking down at me, he eyes were two pieces of heaven and I found it hard to breathe.

"Bella?" asked the angel. "You didn't have to come, you could have just…" I put one finger on his lips to silence him. His eyes went wide, and so did mine when I relieved what I just did. I pulled it away quickly and Edward frowns a little.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking," I whispered, feeling my blush creep to my checks. I tried to look away but his eyes wouldn't let me do so.

He sighed, "I should tell you something Bella." He then gently led me over to a chair and I sat down in. Edward knelt down in front of me staring into my eyes.

"Bella," he sweetly whispered, he sighed again and looked down at his hands, "I'm not who you think I am. I am a horrible, terrible monster, and it would be better if I didn't see you, but I am a very selfish creature and I couldn't be away for you, Bella." He looked up into my eyes once more; his golden eyes were full of pain and sorrow.

"Bella, I must tell you, you can run out this door anytime you want," he whispered, "and I will respect your wish and you will never see me or my family again." I felt my heart break, never see Edward again, I didn't care what he was, and I could never be away from him.

His golden eyes dimming as he started to opened is mouth and I knew what was coming next, "Bella, I'm a vampire."

"I know," I whispered.

His eyes widen with shock then to angry, "You know and you still came here today?"

"I know that you weren't going to kill me," I whispered softly, so soft I wondered if he could hear me.

"How would know?" he asked.

"I don't know, I just do," I said staring into his eyes, "and I don't care what you are Edward."

His eyes looked confused, "you don't care?" I shook my head no. "Well, I should tell you that I don't hunt humans, only animals."

"Oh," I whispered, not really knowing what to say. He sigh a looked away.

"Bella, I'm worried on how you are taking this, is inhuman to be this calm," He said softly looking to his hands then up into my eyes. "You should be staring at me like I'm mad or running out the door screaming, not sitting here, and staring at me."

I started at him of a second and then I started shaking my head, "Edward, I really don't care what you are and it would be more painful to leave now then staying here with you."

"I was afraid of this, that you or I would be able to leave," he whispered softly. I felt myself blush and I looked away only to feel a cold hand gently caresses my cheek. I know that it was Edward's and that only made me blush more. I heard him signed and I looked up to see him smiling at me.

"Edward," said the musical voice behind us. We both turned around to see Alice there smiling widely.

"Yes Alice," he said nicely.

"Bella, should be getting home, her parents would be worried about her," said Alice. Edward frowned but nodded his head.

"Yes, you should be getting home. I have a feeling that your mother doesn't like me as it is and if I kept you here any longer, she would never let me see you again," Edward said jokingly, but I knew and he knew that it was true.

"She listens to gossip far too much, that if someone told her the sky was red and the grass was purple she would believe it. But she is still a wonderful mother," I said.

"Yes, she is a wonderful mother with a wonderful daughter," said Edward staring at me. His comment made my face turn from pink to fierily red. My blush only made he amused and he smiled with delight. We got up and walked to the front door and he opened it for me.

"Goodbye Edward," I said starting to walk out the door of the beautiful house.

"Bella," he whispered. I stopped and turned to look at him. "Please come tomorrow, Bella." I smiled and nodded my head. He took my hand, bowed, and kissed my hand. "Goodbye Bella." He let go of my head and I turned and walked outside in the cold November air and I swear I heard him say, 'Be safe.'
