Bringing the coffee cup to her lips; she slowly took a sip of the dark liquid. She sighed a bit, running a hand through her brunette hair, which only came just short of touching her shoulders. Her auburn eyes glanced around the room, searching for something, or rather someone to enter the quant, little café. “Damn,” she said, placing the coffee cup back down onto the table. “Where could he be?”
“My, you’re awfully impatient today, aren’t you, Charity?”
Her eyes widened upon hearing her name spoken. She turned to look over her shoulder to see him, flashing a dazzling smile, which probably was a fake one. His black coat, draped over his dark clothing. “What happened, Edward?” Charity asked, curiously with a twinge of mockery in her voice. “Take your time with killing innocent bystanders again, eh?”
Edward’s blue eyes twitched a bit as he took his seat across from her at the table. “Now, Charity… Let’s not make assumptions.” He whispered.
“Oh now that must not be it…” she said, tapping her chin lightly. “Oh! I know. You were too busy being Anita’s lap dog again, right?”
Edward’s impassive gaze never faltered. Charity hated that about him. She could never get under his skin about anything… Not even with insults could she wipe that default mode off of his darling little face.
“Charity… You know I’m not here to argue with you.” He whispered, his blue eyes, meeting her auburn ones.
Charity sighed, glancing down at her coffee again. “I know. I just enjoy teasing you.” She replied, looking back up at him.
He gave her another smile, this one seeming more relaxed by her childish antics. “Tell me Charity,” he whispered. “Do you know why the vampires have taken an interest in… you know…” It was apparent he wanted to be cautious about Charity’s secret.
Charity merely shook her head, her eyes falling back onto the table. “No.” she murmured. “I’ve only heard that they think I channel some sort of spirit or something, which is total nonsense.”
Edward sighed a bit, running his hand through his sleek, blonde hair. “Charity, I’ve heard some odd things from Anita.” He admitted.
Her eyes quickly met his. “Like…what?”
“She heard they may try and take you.”
Charity cocked an eyebrow at Edward. “Take me where?”
Edward gave an exasperated sigh. “It’s called the art of kidnapping, Charity.”
She glared at him. “Don’t talk to me as if I’m a three-year-old!” she snapped. “You talk in riddles and half the time I don’t know what the hell’s going on inside that little brain of yours.”
A smirk formed on Edward’s lips. “Good to know that you can’t get in my head.”
“Dumb ass.”
“Temper my little fireball.” Edward replied.
Charity rolled her eyes as she took another sip of her coffee.
Edward watched her carefully. “I just want you to be careful.”
Charity smiled at him. “I’m always careful. Don’t worry.” She replied, adjusting the red blouse she was wearing. She sighed a bit and started to fiddle with the silver cross she wore around her neck. “I’m smarter than you think I am.”
Edward’s hands moved across the table and grabbed her wrist. Charity glanced at him nervously as she tried to move away, but his blue eyes kept her still… “They know what you are…” he whispered. “But you don’t have to be afraid.”
Charity shook her head, forcing a smile. “I’m not afraid-”
Edward’s lips formed another smile. “You have a nervous habit… You fiddle with that crucifixion whenever you feel scared.” He whispered. “You don’t have to worry. Anita and I will make sure they won’t take you…”
Her eyes lowered once again. “Can you really trust Anita?” she asked, carefully.
Edward released her wrist. “I’d trust Anita with my life.”
“But she’s with the vampires… I just don’t see how that would work-”
Edward raised his hand, which immediately silenced Charity. “And yet that will work in our favor, considering she’ll know exactly what the vampires are up to,” he explained.
Sighing, Charity looked up at Edward, her auburn eyes filled with a slight terror. “I…”
Edward glanced at her as he grabbed his pair of black sunglasses. “You don’t have to worry… I’ll make sure no one harms you.” He said.
Charity inhaled deeply. “That’s… good to know… Just try not to kill innocent bystander this time, okay?”
Edward shrugged. “I could try, I guess.” He replied.
It wasn’t a promise, but still… It was a start.
“Thank you.”
Edward reached into one of the many pocket in the inside of his black jacket. Charity tilted her head, wondering just what he was trying to find. Her eyes widened a bit when he pulled out a dagger and placed it on the table.
“Edward!” Charity hissed. “That’s a dagger! You can’t bring that in here!”
Edward merely smirked. “Take it. No charge. In case something happens and I don’t get there in time… It won’t kill the vampires… But it’ll sure hurt like hell. Real silver blade — and if they send any lycanthropes after you — you can sure fuck them up too.” He explained, leaning over the table, staring into Charity’s eyes.
Charity quickly grabbed the dagger and stuffed it securely into a pocket in her jacket, praying to God that no one just saw it.
Edward smiled at her. “Don’t worry. No one noticed a thing.” He said.
Charity grimaced. “I hate you.”
“No you don’t,” he whispered, getting up from his chair. “Trust me. It’ll come in handy when you’re in a jam… And you of all people need to be really careful now…”
Charity stood up from her chair as well. “Thanks.” She murmured, looking up at his five foot nine figure. “Edward…”
Another smile graced his features. “I’ll be in touch soon.” He said, walking away.
“Edward, wait!” I called out to him.
Edward ignored her, leaving the café.
Charity sighed, sitting back down in her chair. “Be careful,” she whispered.
