A brief intro, if you haven't read my previous story involving Marique and Bella called Barbaric, I suggest you do so before continuing further.
Bella thinks she is safe with Marique back in her own time but little does she know, there are people wanting to force them apart. Please review!
Reality set in for Bella quickly as her alarm went off, "Shit! I've got school!", she jumped out of bed and struggled into a pair of jeans. It didn't occur to her that Marique wasn't used to the jarring sound of an alarm clock. Sure enough it almost made her call out in pain, she covered her ears, Bella turned the old digital clock off. "What was that?!"
"I'm sorry, I forgot it was set that loud."
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I have to go to school, Marique."
"School? You go to school?"
"Yes. This is my last year. I'm a senior", she had no idea what to do about Marique being left at home alone, she didn't know what kind of stuff she could get into. "Now I really have to get going. Um…my dad shouldn't be back until later tonight, I should beat him home."
"What is there for me to do until your return?"
Bella had to think quickly, what kind of damage could she cause when not being supervised around all of these unfamiliar luxuries. She took Marique by the hand and led her downstairs to the den. She sat her down in front of the TV and handed her the remote. "You'll like it, you can watch it all day until I come back. If you get hungry there are snacks in the cupboard. Don't touch the stove, ok? I'll show you how to use it. I know it will take a long time to adjust but I'll help you."
"You expect me to sit down all day?"
"I know, I suck but I'll make it up to you tonight I swear."
Marique stood up and kissed her lover on the lips. Bella held her gaze for a brief moment, she groaned and ran out the door, she couldn't help but think she forgot something. She still had to adjust from the time jumps and the almost drowning; the Cullens seemed to have moved on and so did Edward. Her circle of friends thought she was losing it after Edward broke up with her and in some ways she had to agree, Marique was living proof of that.
After an hour of channel surfing a device she never thought possible could exist, Marique got bored fairly quickly, she didn't see how her doing this all day. She wanted to listen to Bella's instructions and wait for her and not leave the house, it was a new world for her after all and there was no way she could survive in it without her. She didn't question how the box with the if lashing mages worked, she just thought there was some kind of magic at work. She opened the refrigerator, unsure what some of the things in there were, she did notice beer that obviously belonged to her father. She unscrewed the cap despite it not being a twist off, luckily she was doing it with the sharp claws she had attached to her rather strong, barbaric hands. She sniffed the beverage, she knew good alcohol when she smelled it. She downed the whole bottle before moving on to another.
"At least things won't be boring around here", she thought to herself. Little did she know there was a truck pulling into the driveway and it was the wrong person to see a woman like her at Bella Swan's house.
Next chapter will be up shortly! I am also working on a Bella/Renee story that should be up next month.
