Just to find you

Breaking Dawn (part three: Ruby pov)

"I don't know. Ask." He said while Carlisle stared at us both curiously.
I turned to him and sighed warily.

"Do you know if it's possible to bind your soul to someone?" I asked and he looked confused.

"I don't understand. Explain in detail." Carlisle told me.

"I can feel everything Seiya feels lately and Edward says she can feel me too. Is it possible it's just a mate thing?"
I asked him and he looked at me thoughtful and intrigued.

"Not that I know of. Every mated pair has a special bond that's unique to them I suppose but I've never heard of one like you're describing. Did something happen to cause this all of a sudden?" He asked. I looked at them both uncomfortable before running my fingers through my hair. Edward already seen my thoughts but I know he won't say anything or judge but talking about this with Carlisle, who was supposed to be my father figure was strange.

"Well while we were in Japan, we got.....intimate." I say gesturing with my hands awkwardly. Edwards lips twitched and Carlisle smiled like he understood my embarrassment.

"Ah I see. And this hasn't happened any other time?"

"No. Never have I felt connected to her like that before. Besides the location and my feelings growing deeper for her. Nothings changed." I explain. It's not that I hate this feeling. It's just something I want to control. I can barely tell between my own emotions and hers.

"Hmmm." Edward hummed with a thoughtful expression, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"What is it Edward?" Carlisle asked him.

"This is only a theory but what if.... It's your ability." He said and there was a pause as I took in his words.

"You mean my ability? But I don't have any abilities." I say shaking my head in denial.

"You're also the only vampire to retain their human eye color on occasion. You're obviously special by just that. Why is this so surprising?"He said and I opened my mouth only to close it, not even fully knowing what I wanted to say.

"But if it's her ability, why is she just finding out about it now?" Carlisle asked him.

"Maybe because she had no reason to use it. Or it was triggered by a strong emotion." Edward answered, shrugging. I zoned out as the two of them threw out theories. Could it be? I mean it does make sense now that I think about it. How I felt that night, how I just wanted to surround myself around her and be tied to her in an unbreakable way.

"Okay say you're right. How do I test this? And what would this even be called?" I asked looking at them.

"A soul binder." Edward said and I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Is that even a thing?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Think about it. You told me you've never been able to connect with anyone before you met her."

"Yeah mostly because people wouldn't connect that way with me for whatever reason." I explained.

"Exactly. Then you met Seiya and felt a connection even if you didn't understand it. You felt a bond."

"But the only thing I felt when we first met was...."

"Love?" Edward said finishing my thought. "Love is just another type of bond, rather through family or friends. So it makes sense for two souls in love to feel a bond. We all see the way you look at each other like your thoughts are on the same wavelength. So maybe that night you opened yourself up to her more, which triggered the soul bond." Edward hypothesized and I felt my eyes widened at how right it all sounded.
