Ch.14

Finally after a moment of fear, a moment of decision, I decided to let myself see.

A strange popping sound was heard the second I flew my eyes open. This most likely being because they were closed for so long. Dust particles floated around me. Landing in my eyes they disintegrated from the venom that coated my eye balls. I saw bugs crawl across wooden floors, the deep threaded cotton of his jeans. Slowly I sat up on my elbows. My height hadn't changed, which was actually a relief. I stepped off the gurney and walked to the mirror.

I don't need those hideous glasses anymore, I thought. This brought a laugh out of me. My voice was smoother and more leveled then the one I had before. My voice didn't crack if I got to loud or become raspy. I became very pretty. I actually looked a lot younger than twenty-three. Although, I was not happy about those red eyes. It made me think that about how I had just fought red eyed monsters only a few days ago. Six days exactly. I am no monster.

"No..no you aren't."

Out of the corner of my vision I saw him. I turned away from the mirror. He stood in a navy blue tank and blue jeans. I smiled at him.

"Thanks." I replied. "Not just for the comment, but...hearing me out."

He nodded. He looked me up and down. He seemed cautious to be near me. I walked over with my new speed, placing a hand on his arm.

"Don't be like that. I'm no threat." I said smiling.

He smiled back.

"But you are a threat. A threat to my sanity."

"How can I do that, if you weren't sane to begin with?"

"By making me even crazier."

I wanted to speak but was cut off by his lips. His skin was the same as mine, so it was odd at first when the chill I got wasn't from being cold. The chill was desire. He pulled me into his tightest hug, now able to do so. I hugged even tighter and he grunted. I laughed. Easing my grip he held me in his arms, my head resting on his chest.

"I love you." He breathed into my hair.

"I love you too, Mr. MoodyFace."

He laughed.

"Am I interrupting?"

At the door stood Alice. She just dying to jump on me.

"Come here."

She ran in and jumped, wrapping her arms and legs around me and we were laughing.

"I told you." She said when the hug ended.

"You did!"

"Guys!! Come here."

Soon enough, the others filed in and I was greeted by the family with hugs and kisses, and victory cheers, back slaps. When Bella and Jacob appeared, the others tried to keep me away. I pushed through and grabbed Bella, who had her arms already open. I smelt her. Truthfully I waited for the human blood lust to come. And their was none. This puzzled me. At the second I ignored the fact so she could squeeze me. She was crying and telling me she loved me. As a brother, a friend, as family. I told her I loved her the same way.

I even gained a hug from Jacob. He told me Seth will be over the second he finds out. I laughed at that.

"Alright everyone. We should leave him to hunt."

"Actually, Carlisle I don't need to."

"What do you mean," he looked confused.

"I've had not the slightest ounce of blood lust since I woke up. You see I hugged Bella. I felt nothing. No urge to bite. My throat isn't scratchy. I'm not even that thirsty."
