His Golden Haze Part I

The Antidote

Chapter 3: The Antidote

Edward POV:

Renesmee, Rose, and Alice have been home for a week and I could feel a change in my little girl. She’s been blocking me from her thoughts and is glued to her phone. Who the hell is she texting? She doesn’t know anybody, the Denali’s live close by us so she wouldn’t have a need to text them.

What’s going on? I literally catch her giggling for no reason and her fingers move swiftly to reply whoever she’s talking to. I’m not crazy, I could hear her heartbeat fluttering and the rest of the family could hear it too. Is she in love? Is she sick? I should take her to Carlisle if she continues to act strange.

“Ness, do you want to go hunting?” I asked.

She didn’t respond instantly, her eyes were still glued to her phone.

“Did you ask me something?” she finally looked up.

“Yeah, do you want to hunt?” I repeated.

“No thanks, I’m not particularly thirsty right now.” Renesmee responded before she skipped off to her room.

What is that supposed to mean? 

“Just leave her be honey, she obviously just needs some alone time. She’s a growing girl.” Bella told me.

I don’t think her strangeness has anything to do with her “growing”. But okay Bella. That’s a dumb explanation anyways, Renesmee stopped growing a few months ago. When she’s sleeping I’ll just take her phone and no one has to know. I need to know who the actual fuck is talking to my daughter.

“Your eyes are getting darker, I’ll take you hunting instead.” I brushed some of the hair off of Bella’s shoulder. 

“Second choice, huh?” Bella smirked and hopped onto my back, “Well I could use a nice moose right about now.”

Silly Bella. She’ll pay for what she said in a few minutes here. We sped off into the forest and used our noses to find our meal. We haven’t hunted since Ness left with Alice and Rosalie, mostly because we were worried sick about her going all the way to California. 

“We’ll see who’s silly when we get out there old man” Bella exclaimed.

What? I said that out loud? Oops. 

“You can count on it little girl” I retorted. Bella raised her eyebrows suggestively at me. 

“You’re su-” She started

“Don’t finish it! No more old man jokes!” I started while Bella fell to the forest floor chuckling.

“Have I been a bad girl? Do you need to punish me?” Bella choked out while she continued laughing.
