Love is a Twisted Thing
Chapter 1
"Edward!" Bella yelled.
"We have to hurry," Alice begged.
"Where is she?" Jasper asked.
"Near Bella's house!" Alice screamed.
The chaos ensued. Edward ran one direction with Bella on his back and the other Cullen siblings ran in all different directions. Each one of them praying that they were not too late to rescue Bella's cousin. Luxe was to arrive that morning but she hadn't arrived from Maryland. No one was worried because of flight delays and then magical Alice had a vision. Luxe was in Forks but she was on the run. Some rogue werewolves were after her. In fact, they had been hunting her for a while.
"How long do we have Alice before they reach her?" Jasper questioned.
"Ten minutes!" Alice answered.
They were running and finding no sign of the girl. Emmett had found no sign on his path either and he prayed that Edward had more luck than he did.
"Please be safe," Bella whispered. Edward heard her and ran faster quickly stopping as he caught whiff of a scent. He squeezed his eyes shut and couldn't believe his nose. If he thought Bella smelled delicious… this new scent was even more delectable.
"Luxe!" Edward screamed.
Nothing. No sound.
"Luxe!" Bella yelled.
Nothing again.
Then suddenly Edward heard a whimper of pain. He looked to his left and found the girl there curled into a ball. Bella ran to her cousin and hugged her, whispering constant words of comfort to her. Edward was getting ready to pick up both Bella and Luxe when he smelled them. Wolves. He crouched down ready to attack. Jasper, Alice, and Emmett appeared behind him also looking ready to attack. As they saw all the wolves appear it took only a second to realize that it was Jacob Black's pack. They all transformed into humans and stared at the body that Bella was holding.
"Do you know where they went?" Sam asked.
Alice nodded and looked at Edward knew she was cautious about whether or not to tell them were the rogue wolves were but she did. The instant the words left her mouth the wolves were back and off. It was time to hunt for them.
"Luxe? Can you talk?" Bella asked.
Luxe nodded. She laid her head on Bella's shoulder and clutched onto her tightly. Edward glanced behind him and saw Jasper holding his head between his hands with his eyes shut tightly. Edward tilted his head to the side and looked at Alice.
He knows everything she's been through, Alice thought.
Edward shook his head and picked up both Bella and her cousin. They made their way to Bella's home and Edward made sure that Charlie wasn't home. The police officer would have a fit if he saw the state Bella's cousin was in. Bella and Luxe were both settled on the couch comfortably.
"Luxe?" Alice asked gently.
Luxe stood up and with a flick of her wrist, Alice was against the wall. Edward and Jasper crouched down low on the floor and looked ready to pounce. Emmett had his hands full with a screaming Bella.
"ARE YOU A VAMPIRE?" Luxe screamed.
Alice could barely nod but she did.
"Then you are no different from the rest and I am no longer safe here," Luxe sighed.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Edward roared.
"It isn't only wolves you leech! There are vamps and witches after me too! I trust no one!" Luxe screeched
"Trust me!" Bella yelled over Emmett's shoulder.
"Are you with them?" Luxe yelled.
Bella could only nod. She didn't know where this side of Luxe had come out of. Luxe had always been peaceful, Bella knew that she was a Wicca but she never knew that she was really powerful. She could tell by Luxe's eyes that she held a lot of power.
"Then you are not with me," Luxe cried.
"What the hell have they done to you?" Jasper asked.
Luxe turned to look at him and she fell to her knees and cried. He walked over to her and patted her on her head. He whispered words of comfort to her and she clung to him like a broken child.
"Please help me!" she cried into his shoulder. Emmett let Bella go and she ran to her cousin.
"What happened?" Bella asked.
Everyone turned quiet and awaited to hear Luxe's answer. She took a deep breath and felt memories bombard her.
"Every hundred years, there is a witch born. They call her the peacemaker. They say that she will bring the bad blood between the vampires and wolves to a stop. She was to be the most powerful creature alive. Born on a new moon with the death of a vampire and a wolf at the same time of her birth she was to be the beloved," Luxe sighed.
"The problem is that some don't want the blood to be settled. They want the rivalry to continue so that they can use the wolves or the vampires against each other. It's a hunting game to some. I'm the freaking beloved okay? I get to be hunted and threatened. I was almost skinned alive once by a voodoo witch doctor. What fucking fun!"
Everyone froze. Bella didn't know what was going on but one look at the four vampires around her and she knew it was bad.
"Did you all know about this peacemaker gig?" Bella asked.
"I did," Alice whispered.
"We all did," Jasper sighed.
"We were there the day Alice had the vision," Edward said. Emmett shuddered and that worried Bella. What could scare big old muscular Emmett?
"The vision overtook me and I had it for three days," Alice explained. "I saw you birth. You were a beautiful baby but your birth set off a chain of events. All of them horrible. The rogue wolves knew the instant you were born, they sensed it. Caged vampires escaped and the magical world went nuts with looking for you. Those who wanted you dead that it is. Others like us just waited for you."
"Waited for me?" Luxe asked.
"You're the peacemaker," Edward explained.
"I know that! What the hell does that have to do with me?" Luxe yelled.
"You make peace," Jasper sighed.
"In other words…" Emmett honed in. "You can get rid of the rogues. They hone in on you and you can hone in on them. You can stop them when your powers are at full potential."
"Full potential?" Luxe laughed. She laughed so hard, her whole body was shaking. "I reach full potential on the new moon of my next birthday!"
The whole room was silent. Edward was holding Bella's hand when suddenly a realization hit him. He couldn't read Luxe's mind either. Her mind was blank to him and her eyes weren't like Bella's. Bella's eyes were easy to read but Luxe's eyes had the years of experience of hiding emotion floating in them. He knew he wouldn't be able to get a straight answer out of her without asking her the question straightforward.
"When is your birthday?" Jasper asked.
"Two weeks," Bella and Luxe answered.
Alice stood up and went to the window. She had to think. The thing with her visions was that they were a blur that she grabbed all at once. There were the ones she caught up on that she completely understood. One of those flashes had been of Luxe and Bella holding hands and performing a spell. Another was of Luxe on the floor dying.
"Two weeks?" Emmett shrugged. "We can hold them off."
Luxe just laughed at his confidence. She shook her head and stood up. She started pacing around the room. Her thoughts were in a jumble. She could barely tell left from right anymore. How long had it been since the attacks begun? When was the last time she had felt any true sense of peace? Forever.
"So…" Bella said.
"We know what we need to do," Edward stated.
"Keep you alive for two weeks," Jasper reasoned while looking at Luxe.
"How hard is that going to be?" Emmett laughed.
The minute the words left Emmett's mouth, everyone looked at Alice. She was twiddling with her hair and she turned around to face everyone. For the first time, Alice didn't know what side to bet on but she was wishing with all her heart that it was her side that came out kicking. She was wishing that Luxe stay alive.
