Chapter 7
What Was Revealed Through Past and Future
What Was Revealed Through Past and Future
Edward was beside himself.
"Just do it, Edward,"Esme said-for the first time-roughly.
"Grr...fine,"he hissed. Stalking up the stairs, grumbling all the way, Edward Cullen went to face Giselle Northland. Heading to her room, a place no one entered, he caught sight of something. He stopped dead in the hallway and looked into his room, where the little pure pixie sat. He almost knocked on his own door (which pissed him off to the point of no return) but she sniffed and said,"C'mon in. Your room. Your rules. I shouldn't have been in here anyway....I'm sorry, Eddie."
Edward hissed under his breath. Her wistful whisper brought on feelings he didn't want to feel. Her tears, which sparkled in the moonlight through his window. Even with her back to him, she was beautiful. He...what? He couldn't bring himself to say.... No. Never. Not again.
"I never asked you to."
Edward sighed,"Can't stay out of my brain for a second, can you?"
"Actually, I don't listen that often, but suicidal thoughts are painful to think-not that yours are any cheerier," she added with an eye roll.
Edward took a step closer,"Look at me,"he commanded. "Please," he whispered, sitting behind her on the bed, touching her soft, moon-colored arm.
Slowly, in the dim moonlight, she turned to him. Her blue eyes, normally so full of life, were dark and filled to the brim with tears.
"Oh, Darling!" he cried and brought her forcefully into his chest. She cried out in shock, but let him rock her. Edward didn't know what he was doing, he just knew she needed this feeling as much as he. His lips were on hers, kissing her so violently her lips may have turned blue. He moved his mouth down for this reason, and brought them to her cheek, her chin,...her neck. After moments of kissing her neck, right on the veins, Edwards lust began to kick in. He wanted it. This. This feeling. When he was about to indulge, Giselle began to squirm and screamed,"AHHHHHHH, HELP!!" Edward, in shock, shoved her off.
The two of them, panting and on opposite ends of the room, just stared at each other.
"What's wrong, Giselle?" Edward asked.
"Edward...you-you had to see what was happening,"she whispered. Frightened. Ashamed.
"...I...I thought you wanted it...."
"No, no, Edward, you didn't want what you thought you wanted."
"Wha-"
"Edward, we weren't about to make love. You were going to bite my neck."

"Knock, knock," said Alec's alto voice whilst entering the room.
"Hey, come on in,"I said. I rubbed the white towel through my damp hair after my shower. Another identical towel wrapped around my waist. I looked at myself in the mirror, admiring the lean, barrel chest I was getting.
"So,"he said, taking his robe off, revealing his leggings and bare chest,"how was vacay with my little sis?"
I flopped down on my bed next to him. "Ya know, not that good."
"What happened?"
"Nothing. Nothing happened. She did me. End of story."
"Are you saying my sister isn't good in bed?"
"I'm saying that she's not good at anything BUT that,"I sighed,"She's got no..."
"Personality? I could've told you that. The devil could have told you that. Didn't you know they're distant cousins?" Alec said, shoving me. His cold shoulder was so freezing compared to mine it hurt me. My skin, a constant 104 degrees sucked. I hated it. I wasn't normal.
"Hah, cliche vampire joke," I yawned and let my head fall on his shoulder. Alec and I had always been great friends. We'd known each other just-what? 20? 30 years shy of a decade? I was closer to him than to Jane. And here we were, like we were every night (until my nights were spent with Jane) shirtless and practically cuddling on the bed.
"Yeah. Wanna watch Dracula and nerd out? Belt? Belt? God, some one's out of it."
"Huh? Oh. Sorry, Alec. Sure. Pop it in the 'player. "
Alec didn't do that, instead he turned on his elbow and faced me so that his muscular chest was inches from my face. He looked down at me.
"What's up with you?" he asked.
"Nuttin',"I mumbled.
"Belt-"
"I don't love Jane, okay? I don't know what I'm missing. If it's not her, I've wasted 70 years. What do we live for? What? Why are we immortal if we don't have anyone to be forever with?"
Alec sighed,"Belt, I know what you're feeling. It's okay. Don't you think I've wondered that? That we all haven't wondered it? I think I've found someone anyway...."
That brought on a weird feeling in my chest. Neither sad nor happy. "...Who?" I whispered.
Alec smiled as he leaned over me. Slowly, his hand slid down my chest and unwrapped the towel around my waist. He slid his pants off and straddled me. Leaning over me, he got right in my face, smile still standing.
"You."
****************************************************************************************
"...Who were they Giselle?" Edward asked, taking her hand.
"...My family," she whispered, leaning into him."Edward, my up bringing was a bit strange. I wasn't born in the Northland's Territory as was once desired. My mother was human. My father was King of the Northland Territory and part Warlock. Weird, right? My mother grew up in Northland as well. Humans lurk there as well.
"I was born in the United States. My parents knew that the war was raging, so they switched me with another girl in the hospital. I grew up in a normal human family. I even looked normal. Blond hair, skinny, blue eyes. Perfect body, weird personality. I had no friends.
"My family that brought me up...they thought I was a little weird. They really didn't love me. I knew that. I tried to commit suicide seven times before I left the house at age 12. A knight came and gave my parents there most sincere apologize that their daughter, Emily Jones, had died. Of course, I grew up with that name and my parents were most puzzled.
"When the knight explained everything, they knew. It just made sense. My parents cried. They shunned me, but not for long.
"The knight asked me to come along with him. When I asked why, he told me I was the only heir to the throne. My parents didn't care, and I went away to the Northland Territory.
"I met Peter, my Nanny, and all other members of the Castle. I fit in well. Then I met Anton....
"Anton was the Prince of the Southland. I didn't know when I met him though. He dressed in all black, the color of his hair. He was tan and beautiful....I fell in love.
"But he had lied. He tried to kill me. The prophecy said that upon the year of the seven jackal moon, this decade, that the prince and princess of opposing countries will fall in love and unite the two countries and save them.
"But the prejudice in him was instilled to deeply. He could never decide between his love and his urge to kill me. When I found out who he was...I hated him. This only strengthened his harbored hate. That is why I came here.
"The Knights of Northland came and dropped me here. See these?" she ran her hands over both wrists and Edward gasped. Two silver shackles decorated her wrists, with chains that flew out his window and onto the ground."It hurts to leave the house. These chains insure that if I leave the house, and do not return before sun set, I will die. The dark is the time of the Southland. I cannot be out at night...ever. It is not safe."
Edward kissed her,"I can protect you."
"No,"she whispered against his kiss,"you cannot. Only I can. No one can help me. You will die if you try."
Edward laughed,"I am immortal."
"You are not indestructible,"she whispered.
"Giselle..."
"Meu amor, me beije! O meu amante! A miña doce ... Como eu te amo? Deixe-me contar as formas ..."
"Mmmm..."Edward whispered kissing her neck,"Quick,"he breathed,"me or Newton?"
"Always you..."
"Then go to prom with me."
"Edward, I'm sorry...but I cannot."
"Why not!"
"...Edward....Please..."
"I love you."
"Edward...no!"
"Say it back, Giselle."
"But-"
"Say it back!"
"...Meu amor..."
****************************************************************************************
We were gasping and breathing hard. Alec! It made so much sense...all this time...he was just in front of me. I loved him...I loved him so much. It was only and hour and I was starting to dose because our love making was slow and passionate, unlike Jane's, who was hard and sexual.
Alec slowly rose off of me when he thought I was sleeping. He stroked my face and ran his hands down my chest, my waist, pelvis, legs. He kissed my neck and ran them down to my chest to my genitals.
"My love, this was the best night. I have been waiting for this for 63 years. I knew one day that I loved you. It was from the beginning, the first time I held you, and Aro's whore kept going on about your green eyes. God, I loved them. I wanted to rip them out of your head and take them for my own. But now I know I needed them...I needed you. I love you, Beltrano. From the day we found you. I love you. I need you. Oh, God, my love....my love."
I heard him put on his pants and exit the room. I sat up straight and cursed, then sang. I twirled around the room, stark naked, like a school girl. Alec was my lover now. It was never Jane...she was merely like him, yet nothing like him. My disdain for her had increased ten fold now that I had slept with her brother. I loved him more than I ever could any vampire or human woman.
I loved Alec. I always would.

"So? Are you taking her or aren't you?" Alice asked.
"She finds Newton two attractive to care,"Edward hissed.
"God, why didn't we just kill of the first one when we had the chance?"
Edward stifled a stiff laugh. "I just-"
The two vampires where walking behind the bleachers and they found a horrid sight. Mike was sucking face with the princess. His hands where pulling her legs up around his waist as she sat on his lap. Of course she would open her legs to him!
Giselle heard Edward's loud thought and jumped off of her lover. "Edward. Oh, I-"
"Save it," he hissed and stalked off, Alice on his heels.
The blond juvenile sighed,"What's up Cullen's shorts?"
