The plot is the same but one modifications have been made that I feel more comfortable with.
Chapter 1: 24 Hours On Marystone
Gray room turned silver.I started out the window behind Karsh into the light of the morning, it was dim from the smudges that covered most of the window. I could feel him staring at me but I pretended as if he wasn't there. He was going to ask me what's wrong even though he already knew the answer to that. I didn't need to read his mind to know.
"Bella, what are you staring at?" He asked. He wasn't literal, he wanted to know what I was looking at in the depths of my mind.
"Let me tell them," I replied.
"Fine, go ahead," My eyes left focus from my thoughts back to his eyes "Go ahead, disobey your father and tell them" he finished sarcastically as I swiftly got up with my empty plate of breakfast, taking it to the sink.
"It doesn't make any sense and you know it" I muttered.
"It makes perfect sense and you know that," with his fork, he stabbed his last piece of pancake and put it in his mouth, then took up his plate to the kitchen sink next to me "Bella, we both know that most vampires involved the war lives in the mortal world now."
"Most vampires, not all" I emphasized "I know that the Cullen's aren't one of them"
"I know that as well ,their good people, I even vouched for them remember? However we both know how Aaron is, this is a precaution."
I turned and faced him "From The Darkness?"
"From your father," Silence came over the kitchen for a moment as I looked into his eyes with no debate, then he continued "Beleana listen to me, if your father wasn't a realm away, if he knew the Cullen's like we do, and like how your uncle will, then everything would be different." he placed is hands on each side of my arms "Just wait for your uncle to give the OK then no more secrets,"
"No more secrets," I repeated.
Recently my uncle Jerry moved his headquarters from Manhattan, New York to the outskirts of Forks, Washington for two reasons. The first is for his family's protection after an attack in New York by The Darkness' followers, killing and kidnapping immortal and magical beings that lived in New York. The second was for me, I took this tragic event as an opportunity to finally convince my father that the Cullens can be trusted. Uncle Jerald is my dad's oldest brother, there is no doubt that his approval can help exceedingly.
" You're right, " I sighed " It may take a life time but you're right" I gave my guardian a hug and fixed his badge. "OK Charlie Swan time for work," I chuckled.
"That is correct daughter," he replied, putting on his worst acting show yet to make me laugh "as your father I must make my way to work in order provide for this family,"
I couldn't help but laugh and encourage his charade. He took his keys and his gun and placed them in his utility belt, kissed me on the forehead and went for the door. Before he exited he reminded me-
"Don't be late for Wizard Training, Uncle Jerry is going to be registering your cousin for school so you're teaching this time,"
"OK, bye Karsh. Dinner is at my house this time,it's the weekend" I reminded him.
I went upstairs to my room and packed up my bag with items for training. Then I removed my pajamas from my body and took a nice hot shower. After I showered and dried my hair, I changed into a pair of white ripped jeans and dark green tunic. After lacing up my black ankle boots and flat ironing my hair, I made my way to the garage.
To the naked and mortal eye, the garage is just a rusty, metal gray room cluttered with fishing poles, hunting gear and boxes. To my eyes and to the eyes of my people, this golden room consists of almost all magical forms transportation known to Coventry. A Persian carpet gifted by Ali, prince of genies, was rolled up and leaned against a wall in the corner. Three assorted brooms retrieved during war from Glenda witch coven were held up by large wooden hooks on the left wall. There are many other treasures that filled this room but, in Karsh's garage there is also my two beautiful babies, my midnight green motorcycle and my white Volvo, Teyla, the raw translation to angel in my native Covinan.
"Hey Teyla," the engine kicked in and she opened her door for me. I slid into the car and let her shut the door. My phone went of to the sound of my cousin Alex's ring tone.
"I'm coming right now, dude" I answered as I snapped my fingers to open up the garage door.
" I'm just checking sheesh," she laughed "how are you doing my favorite cousin?"
"Wow that's total BS right there" I laughed. I switched her to speaker phone and switched Teyla from auto pilot to manual.
"You're right, DJ is better" she replied "have you heard from Dean?"
"My brother hasn't since Friday morning," I admitted to her pulling out of the drive way and closing the garage door.
"He's fine?"
" Yeah, he doesn't like the heat of Arizona but at the same time he doesn't want to leave Illiona alone" I explained "What are you up to?"I drove out of the block and towards Uncle Jerry's house.
"I'm buying a new mirror at Merlin's Market,"
"Well that's dangerous," I stopped at another stop light and turned to my bag to reach for a gum "You know they have things called video chat right?"
"Well there is no such thing as FaceTime in Coventry so," she chuckled. I turned back forward and put the gum in my mouth.
"Just stay hidden and stay safe..." My voice trailed off when I saw him staring at me from his silver Volvo.
" B, you there?" His stare made it impossible for me to look away or shift my body in anyway "Alex, OK so here is my current situation. I am in a car that Edward had no knowledge of ,with a levitating phone next to me. And Edward is currently staring at me and Teyla"
"Oh dear, Bella, listen to me. When that light turns green, you floor it and don't you dare look back".
"Wait what?" I could feel him reading my lips and listening into my car. I tried to read his face but it was uselessly blank.
"We will figure this out when you get here just do it now" she commanded.
"OK fine, I'll call you later"
I hung up the phone, the light switched to green and I did as she said. I sped through the empty, wet road with a mission to lose him and make it to my uncle's house. My temptation to look into my rear view mirror won me over and I could see him behind me. He wasn't on my tail, he didn't seem to even look like he was making an effort to catch me, treating me as if any other driver on the road. I had to make it to the turn way before him if I wanted to lose him. Even though they were miles apart, Uncle Jerry and my house are located on the same road as the Cullens so the outcome of him following me all the way to there were extremely high. I sped over the upcoming hill before he could even touch the incline and made an early turn into the road before the intersection to the three houses in the woods. "We're gonna take the long way" I told Teyla as I switched the car to auto pilot. Leaning back in my seat I dialed Alex's number.
"Are you here?" She answered.
"I'm taking the long way to lose him" I looked back at the rear view mirror " he's not following"
"Why don't you just teleport Teyla here?" She asked.
"Too much traffic cameras, Alex"
She paused "Wait, the back road, like the one before the main? Millstone?"
"It's Marystone and yes that one. I told you this like two days ago"
"The one with the broke street lights"
"Broken street lights working cameras" I reminded her. I looked up at the street light. It was dark and cloudy outside and if the street light were working it would be on. The street lights were on. "Oh no, Alexia, what did you do"
"Fixed the lights" she paused "and might of speed down the road on one of Ali's carpets yesterday morning. But like how early do they turn the cameras on?"
"Alex!" I stopped myself and exhaled lowering my volume "24 hours Aly, it's on 24/7"
"Damn it" she said to herself "who watches the street lights?"
"The police station," I replied "call Karsh please, before others get to the station".
"OK, I'll talk to you later" The call ended and I laid back in my seat.
It occurred to me that even though the trees, grass, road, lights, everything on earth passed me in a motionless blur, the heavens forever stayed clear, like my mind. It's abundantly clear in my head what I want to do and how I want to tell them but these fast complications get in the way of my actions and confidence. Two scenarios will play out eventually; one, they will never know from me and find out on their own, this will cause me to possibly lose a group of people I cared about. Two, I tell them before my fathers "promised consent" and risk their lives from him. This is how it is in my head and this is what I believe it will be like when I fall back to the speedy reality that no matter what, we are all still in danger in the inevitable war against darkness.
Teyla turned left into the woods and left again to the main road.
"Tey, were gonna make a stop by my house first OK?" She shifted left to the next lane and, once we arrived, turned into the drive way of the three story light yellow and white house with the red roof. This house made for me and my family stood on top of a small hill nuzzled in flowers, trees, plants and bushes. I got out of Teyla and made my why up the stone steps that lead to the porch and entrance of the house. I knew I wasn't going to enter the house, so I dropped my bag on the circular glass table and sat in one of the woven lounge chairs.
It wasn't quite outside, crickets and birds chirped in the distance and the wind blew softly from the east blowing strands of my hair across my face.
"I should call him," I tell myself.
"And say what?" I turned myself around. Alex leaned silently against the white pillar by the stone stairs. For a brief moment when she looked at me I saw my Aunt, her mother, the same soft stern look she gives when she cares. Even though Alex's hair was darker it flowed the same way as Theresa, tightly curled yet wavy at the same time.
"How the hell should I know?" I finally replied to her. She chuckled and smiled, turning her back into her normal Alex self, smoldering eyes with a grin to match.
"Listen, I'm with you, I don't get why Aaron is being so strict about our secrecy,"
"At least someone understand," I sighed.
"Yeah, and if anything were to happen like, I don't know, they are secretly with the darkness as well, then we can just killed them,"
"Alexia!" I chastised.
"Oh calm down, I'm just being serious," she said nonchalantly. I leaned back into my chair, staring intently at my wand that stuck out of my bag. "Hey," Alex called my attention. "He loves you right?"
"Yeah, of course," She walked over to the lounge area and sat on the chair beside me.
"And you think that's gonna stop because of what happened on the road?" I didn't know for sure, what happened has no explanation that can save my ass from this lie I was forced to keep. "Bell, the answer is no," she crossed her arms.
"Then what I suppose to do now, how am I gonna explain myself?" She moved her chair in closer to me and with a part of my hair she curled and uncurled it around her fingers.
"Honestly, I don't know right now, love" Her slight frown turned upward "Any idea I have in my head, I know you will consider morally wrong so,"
I smiled a bit.
" What I do know is that we have to get to the house and start before Jerry and Mom comes back. You have four other cousins that can help you get through this situation. How about we talk about it together? We always get through things together" she reminded me.
With no debate I got my things and we headed down that stairs to my car, got in and drove down to Uncle Jerry's house.
Edward's car did not even reach the door of the garage when Alice's voice echoed in his head.
"Did you find her?"
"Yeah," he murmured.
"Well what did you tell her? What did she tell you? Is she OK? Does she know anything about what's going on?" Each question that rolled into his mind brought back a flash of Bella in Edwards eye. He saw her in the car, he saw her with the phone, he heard the words of the unknown girl in his mind "floor it and don't look back,"
"I didn't get to talk to her, she seemed busy," He finally replied to Alice as he got out the car and into the living room with a swift motion. "I think she has more than an idea to your vision," Alice sat on the couch, legs propped on Jasper's lap.
"Why you say that?" Alice asked. He wanted to tell Alice about the unbelievable scene of the phone floating near Bella, the car, and the conversation between her and the girl.
"Well there is no such thing as FaceTime in Coventry so,"
"Just stay hidden and stay safe..."
..floor it and don't you dare look back".
Kept echoing in his mind. "Nothing," he lied "She just seemed different today,"
Glass windows and doors made up most of the walls in the house. Glass, light brown wood and dark marble were its elements. Much like my house, Uncle Jerry's new home was embedded in a hill and rested with all the nature in the forest. From the second floor I could see Max and Justin sitting on the couch talking about something going on in the television. I saw Grace going out to patio with a potted plant to give it more sunlight. I drove Teyla into the garage next to Alex's black Dodge, Nyla or Demon in English, she really lives up to her name. We made our way up the metal spiral stairs and into the TV room.
"Hey B," Justin beamed.
"Hey," I smiled back. I turned my attention towards the television. A female news anchor was giving a report on New York with the headlines Lightning Storm cause deaths and disappearance throughout the state.
"They're calling it a lighting storm," Max muttered " Typical, don't understand something, blame it on the weather right?"
"What would you have them do?" Grace danced into the room, dusting dirt off her hands and sat on Max's lap. "Research, discover, expose?"
"No," he replied "The least they can do is pay tribute to the people lost... many were good people," The room fell silent for a moment, then Max looked away from Grace towards me " What's wrong Bella?" He sensed my stress like it was a scent, the whole room had their eyes on me now.
"Edward spotted her," said Alex. As swiftly as Justin stood up was a quickly as I sat down in the love seat behind me, head resting on my hands and elbows propped up on my knees.
"When you say spotted, what do you mean?" he asked.
"Meaning doing magic, and in Teyla," I replied.
"He needs to forget," he concluded "We have to go make him forget".
"Touch him and you'll have to answer to me," I warned.
"If he doesn't touch him, they all will have to answer to your dad Bella," Grace got up from Max and headed towards me, wrapping her small hands around mine and kneeling beside me. "The attack on Coventry has left Uncle Aaron paranoid. He lost one daughter he doesn't want to-"
"Don't you dare!" I got up abruptly snatching my hand away from Grace.I could feel the heat rushing into my cheeks and the water forming in my eyes "This...fear that you think he has...has nothing to do with what happened to Megan," Each word escaped from my mouth in what felt like a century. "And stop talking as if she's dead"
"Bella I didn't mean-"
"It doesn't matter," I cut her off "We don't erase their minds and I'm done with this charade. I'm going to tell them. It's not fair that they trust me with who they are and I can't do that same," I looked around the room for any protest but their body language and the thoughts in their heads showed no resistance to my future actions. "Now, it's time for class,"
For those who don't know, this story is a mixture of
Twilight, Wizards of Waverly Place AND some reference Twitches
I really did like this first version to this story
But I feel more proud of this version
The major block I had feels as if it lifted away.
