Chapter 12

Location: Cullen Residence( Earlier that day)
POV: Edward Cullen

I put my book down as I look to see that it is five in the afternoon. I wonder what Isabella is doing. I always want, no need, to make sure she is safe. This feeling just won't go away. It's like she's prone to danger, and I will always be there to save her no matter what.

I have this strange feeling in my dead heart that something will happen to her. It's been like this ever since I made eye contact with her for the first time. I get these blasts of what she feels sometimes. This is a common thing between soulmates. She must get so confused when it happens to her.

I wonder what has been making her so anxious or angry today. Anytime she gets like this something happens to her. It's like her body predicts it before it happens. It was the same when the Tyler incident happened. As is she already knew.

She really is a danger magnet.

But no matter what I will always be there to repel any danger coming her way.

"Edward", the soft call of Alice echoes. "Yes, Alice", I reply to her as she opens my door and closes it behind her. "I-", she starts but before she can say anything I see what she is trying to tell me. "-assume you already know", she says quietly.

An ache within my dead heart starts when I get a read on Alice's thoughts. How dare those filthy humans lay hands on my Isabella. My soulmate. " I suddenly got burst of visions from these random boys, which confused me at first, but then I saw Bella. I don't know where exactly but these boys will try harming her. It's during night time today and somewhere in Port Angeles I believe", she says worried. I speed to my closet and grab a coat and speed to my car.

Filthy human compost. They dare lay their filthy hands on my beautiful soulmate.

I'm going much more over the speed limit then I have ever gone. I must find her.

Location: Streets of Port Angeles
POV: Edward Cullen

I drive around Port Angeles, looking for any clue of where Isabella could be. It's dark now so Alice's vision should be close.

I'm gonna rip those filthy maggots apart if they hurt my mate.

'...hands off me', I hear and I knew it must be my beautiful soulmate. I catch her scent and I follow it at top speed. I take a turn which leads to an open lot where I see some boys holding themselves and one is holding her. That filthy hand should be ripped off. I should rip it off.

I speed over and stop right in front of them. My first instinct was to hug her, and I did. She felt so warm, like a cozy home. She is home. She smells amazing.

I realize what I'm doing and I let go. I tell her to get in the car, which she does, with zero hesitation, as if she...trusts me. Soulmates are supposed to trust each other but she probably doesn't feel much of the connection yet.

I stare hatefully at their filthy backs as they stagger away. Some look hurt. She can defend herself, good. My beautiful, powerful, soulmate.

I snap out of my thoughts and stalk back to my car and quickly reverse out of there so I don't hunt them down like the prey they are. Such filth.

Location: Restaurant in Port Angeles
POV: Edward Cullen

We walk into the 'Italian' restaurant and get seated. I can hear the soft rumble of her stomach and the bouncing of her leg as we wait on the appetizers. She got potato soup and bread sticks.

We talk about nothing and everything while we wait. She tells me about the many times she has been chased by dogs which led to a slight phobia of dogs, especially small ones, even though she was chased by big ones, which gets weaker the older she gets. Though she is scared of dogs she seems to have a keen interest of wolves.

As soon as she see's the waitress coming with her food she perks up. Her eyes light up like a million fireworks going off. She is truly too beautiful. I am unworthy of such lifelong companion.

"Mmhmm", she moans with a smile on her face as she tastes the breadsticks. 'I wish I was making her moa-' , What am I thinking. Why am I feeling heat in my face. And an underlying hunger for...food. Human food.

Is this the power of a human soulmate. I need to ask Carlisle about this later. I grab one of her breadsticks and take a bite. It's...delicious. She looks just as confused as I feel. "You...ate my breadstick", she says confused but slightly amused. She is very expressive. "I...did", I say slowly as I feel a warmth in my body that I haven't felt in a long time. What the hell is going on.

"That's weird", she says before going back to eating. What does that mean. Does she kno- no, that's impossible.

"You are impossible to read", I say after staring at her for a few seconds. "Everyone else are so easy to read...but you", I say.

"Really", she says, obviously amused. There's a slight smirk on her face. Hm.

"Yes. I can... read minds. That's how I found you. I heard what those filthy bastards were thinking...and I also heard you", I say releasing a breath that I didn't realize I took...or needed.

"Does it give you headaches...you know, reading minds", she asks, which makes me laugh. "I just told you I can read minds, every mind in this room except yours, and that what you ask me", I say, chuckling. "Valid question. I believe you are telling the truth so what's the point of asking stupid questions", she says, leavening me speechless.

"You...believe me. Truly", I say, flabbergasted. "Of course Edwin. You don't seem like the type to lie about such...trivial matters", she says in a British accent. She's funny too. Can she get any better.

"I will believe almost anything that comes out of your mouth...unless I know you are lying", Yep, she got better. I'm in too deep. Love is a dangerous game. "Thank you", I say so soft I barely heard myself but I know she heard me. "Anytime hun", she says, cheekily.

Can she make me fall any deeper into this abyss of love.
