DROPLETS OF WATER SLOWLY DESCEND FROM DYLAN'S SOAKING WET HAIR TO HER ARMS UNTIL LANDING ON THE DEPTHS OF THE BATHROOM FLOOR. The white towel wrapped around her body, knuckles turning white as she clutched onto the fabric. Concern filled her blue eyes as she looked at the once intense injury on her leg, now seeing it almost completely healed.
She kept staring at it, puzzled, not knowing what to do.
It had been three days since the game. Only three days, and yet the wounds are completely healed except for the big bruises decorating the side of her leg. However, the weird part is the color of the bruises. Instead of being purple and red, they're a mix of yellow and green.
The Swan girl couldn't stop inspecting it; she found the matter fascinating yet worrisome. It would've taken a few weeks for it to heal completely. In three days, however, is something Dylan never expected to see. There were large cuts and scabs from how hard she fell onto the ground.
Dylan remembered her knee hitting rocks and feeling the pain afterward when realizing what happened. Yesterday, when she went to change the bandage, the wounds were still prominent but not as intense. Yet it was only when she went to take them off to shower this morning that she noticed a major difference.
At first, Dylan thought she was seeing things, but after looking at it for a while, she realized what was right in front of her was real. She couldn't stop staring at her leg as she showered.
Thoughts ran through her mind, thinking about what to do about the situation. Should she tell someone? What would they do if she showed them her leg? Would they freak out? Tell someone, and somehow the news is spread around town and everyone knows? This wasn't normal. Dylan knew for a fact this wasn't normal.
She let out a soft sigh, feeling defeated by the limited options she had. Dylan decided to take another look at her leg. A glimpse of her smooth, pale skin looking normal. Nothing was there, just skin.
She reached forward with her thumb, caressing where the wounds would be. However, Dylan abruptly stopped this action and lifted her hand away. She felt something on the pad of her thumb. Her brows furrow, inspecting a translucent muck that gleamed in the bathroom lighting.
"What is that?" Dylan whispered to herself softly, the crease deepening in the middle of her brows. She started to smear it with her index finger, feeling it glide smoothly.
When she was about to check on her leg again. A sudden knock on the door startled her. Dylan immediately took her leg off the toilet seat and straightened herself. The panic settled in her chest as she tried to slow down her rapid breathing.
"Dylan? Dylan, please, we're going to be late!" Bella slightly yelled from behind the door.
It took Dylan a second to find the words, as she was in a dazed state. "I'll be right out!" She shouted back and quickly walked, around the tiny bathroom to look for gauze and bandages.
"Hurry okay? Edward will be here any minute." Bella's soft-spoken voice is heard again before her footsteps sound distant from the door.
The blue-eyed girl scoffed, wrapping a bandage on her wounds. "It's not like Edward has anywhere else to be." She mumbled out.
Dylan decided at the last minute not to tell anyone. She needed time to figure it out before making decisions. It was the one thing she felt sure about.
It constantly wandered in her head as Edward drove them to his house. It was a quiet ride, and normally there would be some chatter by the younger Swan. At the moment, Dylan was still thinking about what happened this morning.
However, Dylan was unaware of Edward trying to read her mind. He tried to concentrate on the matter but to no avail. Dylan's mind was complicated to read, and the way Edward described it was static, with only a few words peeking through every so often.
A hand from the passenger seat is drawn back, catching Dylan's eye. She smiled and reached forward to hold it. The girl gave a firm squeeze to hopefully calm Bella's nerves. She knew how nervous Bella was when meeting her boyfriend's parents. The older Swan worried that they wouldn't like her, even when Dylan would reassure Bella that everything would be fine.
Not only did she come for Bella's support, but Edward insisted Dylan come with them since she is now aware of who they are. The younger Swan is still baffled, to say the least, and is still processing the situation at hand. However, this was for Bella and Dylan's determination is to be there for her.
A house came into view as Edward drove up the driveway. Dylan sat there in awe, seeing the beautiful architecture of the home surrounded by the scenery of nature. Once Edward put the car in park and turned off the agitation. Dylan swore she blinked, and he was already on the other side. It startled her as Bella let go of her hand, seemingly not fazed by her boyfriend's supernatural nature.
