Holding on to Heaven
AU, OOC
This is a joint story, written by ShayHale and MisguidedKilljoy, this is an intro if it goes down well we'll continue writing.
Disclaimer! We're quite obviously not Stephenie Meyer and Twilight isn't ours. If we were and it was, we wouldn't have made Edward such a whiney bastard... and Jasper would of had more lines. Enjoy!
So as not to confuse you, the stuff in italics are thoughts :)
"Hold on, babe. We'll be there soon." I spoke to the almost unconscious human clinging to my neck as if it was the only thing holding her to earth as I travelled through the forest at an inhuman speed.
We had just been on a 'romantic' weekend away to Seattle, at her insistence. She didn't want my family to be near us when we 'took our relationship to the next level'. Silly humans, with their romanticised notions. I myself didn't care; my family had heard me fuck my previous humans for the last 90 years. Not that she knew that, she thought that I was virgin up until Friday night like the naive little girl she really was. She, on the other hand, really was a virgin until that night.
It was always harder for me when they were virgins. The smell of the blood that permeates the air when I break through their flimsy little barrier almost breaks my control. Actually has once or twice. I chuckled silently, remembering the looks on their faces when they found out what I really was. However, Bella was different. Her blood sang to me. I wanted it so much more than any other I had ever smelled. It took everything I had not to drain her like the others. I heard the soft snores that signalled that she had fallen asleep and I took the opportunity to stop for a minute and just look at her.
She really was quite beautiful for a human, skin so pale she almost had the same complexion as me, lips so red they looked permanently stained with blood. I toyed with the idea of taking her clothes off and having one last go without her noticing before we got back to my house. My thoughts quickly stopped dead when I felt a foreign emotion rolling over my body. Anger, it was everywhere, so powerful I could taste it and I almost crushed the fragile little girl in my arms.
"Hello Jasper. To what do we owe this unexpected pleasure?" I seethed as I slowly turned to face the ferocious looking blonde. The anger he was projecting was creeping deeper into my system, making me all the more upset that he'd interrupted my private time with my human.
"Don't even think about it Edward. Give her to me and leave. Carlisle and Esme are waiting for you back at the house." He spoke in a low voice, calm and dangerous, never looking away from Bella. I knew not to treat the silent threat in his eyes as anything less than serious. He would dismember me if I did something other than what he told me to do. I lowered Bella to the ground, careful not to jostle her and wake her up, then spun on my heel and sped out of there before Jasper's emotions got the better of me.
As I broke through the tree line onto the meadow on the front of the big white mansion I called home, the shock I got stopped me in my tracks. There were boxes piled up at the bottom of the steps leading up to the porch, and on closer inspection I realised they all smelled strongly of me. What the fuck? They can't kick me out of my own house. I won't let them!
"Carlisle! What is the meaning of this?" I yelled as I strode through the front door, head held high.
"Ah, good evening Edward," the calm and collected voice of my father came floating through the door of the useless dining room. "Would you be so kind as to join us please?"
I walked through the door of the dining room to be attacked with the thoughts of my adoptive family, all swirling through my head at the same time, so loud I barely heard the words, 'She's pregnant.' fall from Alice's lips .
'It'll kill her! You monster!' Growled Rosalie. Why was she so fucking worried?
'You know they'll come for us. How could you be so stupid?' Carlisle, though he was calm, his voice was hollow and I knew he was worried for his family.
'What were you thinking?' sobbed Esme from her place at Carlisle's shoulder, the anger on her face directed at me for the first time.
The strongest voice of all was Alice. The vision she showed me was of Bella. Something was destroying her from the inside, draining her of life, killing her. And for the first time in 90 years, I was scared. And again, she screamed, "SHE'S PREGNANT!" her high-pitched voice broke as she shrieked.
"Well that was unexpected." Emmett laughed dryly, getting a slap to both sides of his head from Esme and Rosalie.
Sorry it was so short guys, but as we said it's just the intro!
Feedback please! We'll continue if you love us enough ;D
Peace out cub scout.
