OK!! Here is my first fan fiction!! I hope you enjoy it!!
I do not own twilight or any characters from it! (Sigh… if only)
This takes place 12 years after Bella's change. No new powers but Edward still can't read her mind etc…etc… Here we go!
Bella POV
It was dark but the time Edward and I got back to the house. We had gone on a day trip in Edward's Volvo. Stonehenge was beautiful… but when you have a god standing next to you, most things pale in comparison. The Cullen's house in England was beautiful. Three stories with Victorian style architecture. I loved living there; my old house was nothing next to it. It had been enough for Char-… No… can't think that. I loved being a vampire. Knowing that Edward would be with me always and I wouldn't fall and kill myself anymore. (The falling still happened… but killing myself was no longer an issue.) I hadn't realized how hard leaving my parents would be. After I left college I had to fake my death... it would've been hard to never see my parents when they thought I was alive. Edward and I 'died' in a car crash and the rest of the Cullens moved to Ireland… then on to England. Renee and Paul had a kid two years later they named Marie in my honor. Charlie had some more difficulties. He had a live-in nurse now and had retired. I felt horrible for leaving him. It still bugged me that I had hurt him. Alice said he hardly moved at my funeral.
Edward noticed my face, "What's wrong, love?" he asked as we walked to our room. It had a great view of the forest.
I sighed, "Just thinking about Charlie… I wonder how he is."
"You know he would have been more hurt if he thought you were ignoring him" Edward tried to comfort me as he plopped down on the bed.
"I know… but I still feel bad" Edward pulled me onto his lap and I smiled…I couldn't help it.
"There's nothing you can do… did you like Stonehenge?" He looked so adorable I had to kiss him.
"Pales in comparison to you… but yes…. It was interesting. " I was just about to kiss him again, one of my favorite pastimes, but I heard a pixie running up the stairs. I directed the question to Edward, "What does she want?"
"I don't know… she's singing preamble backwards in her head," Edward began to hum the tune as Alice practically pushed down the door.
"What up, Alice?" I asked when she stopped. She looked very disturbed.
"EDWARD" she said in an unnecessarily loud voice, "I'VE DECIDED TO TELL YOU WHAT I SAW" Edward I stared at her as she got one of her visions. Edward had I similarly far of look as he was reading her mind. I felt left out of the psychic loop.Edward finally spoke, "Alice what is going on?"
"I had to decide to tell you to see your reaction… so now I'm definitely not telling you… bye!" Alice left as abruptly as she had entered and I turned my attention to Edward.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Alice had a vision of me totally freaking out and leaving," he noticed the panicked expression on my face, "…with you. She's refusing to tell me what's going on." I was only slightly less panicked than before.
"Don't leave." I sounded desperate… but I was.
"I won't if Alice TELLS ME WHATS GOING ON!"
"NO WAY!" Came Alice's reply from downstairs.
"Don't worry, it'll come out eventually" I was trying to distract him, so I pulled him on top of me, "Until then….. I can think of other ways to spend our time."
And Edward gave me my favorite crooked smile.
When Edward and I came downstairs the next morning Alice still looked distracted. I wondered if she was making up lyrics to ode to joy in Swedish or something ridiculous like that. Edward looked incredibly annoyed. "Morning all," I tried to say cheerfully, though Edward and Alice's stress seemed to be spreading… was it them? "Jasper… can I talk to you?" I asked quickly. Edward looked confused and Alice panicked, but nothing could compare to Jasper's face. I almost laughed when I saw his mix of confusion, fear, and relief. We walked to Alice and Jasper's room and I shut the door. "She told you… didn't she Jasper?"
"What… whatever do you mean, Bella?" I felt waves of uncertainty and trust but didn't believe them… I was best at resisting Jasper's power.
"Not working, Jazz. Look, Edward's really freaked out and I just want to know if it's something insignificant or something important. He can't read my mind so how am I gonna spill the beans?" Jasper looked almost convinced.
"Bella… I can't… Alice made me swear and it's hard enough keeping it from Edward! It's not to major. I just can't."
"I understand." At least I was trying to… I was still worried.
"Can you keep Edward off my back? I'm not as good as blocking out my mind as Alice." Jasper looked like a desperate puppy… how could I refuse?
"Fine… but if this is major I'm coming for you!" My threat sounded bad and Jasper and I both were laughing as we left their room. I set my sights on Edward. So begins Operation Distract Edward For Alice And Jasper Until This Whole Thing Is Figured Out…or Operation DEFAAJUTWTIFO. "Edward… let's go hunting!"
"Well, alright love… but I'm not particularly hungry." Edward and I had hunted two nights ago… it was stupid of me to bring up but I'm horrible under pressure.
"Ha…" awkward laugh… never good, "You're right… let's go to…LONDON!!" London? I thought to myself…oh well, it'll work.
"London?" Edward was as stupefied by my choice as I was.
"Yes, let's go to the…um…let's go on the Jack the Ripper Tour!" Finally! Some Inspiration! Jack the Ripper was an infamous serial killer in 1888 London. He killed prostitutes and is now his old stomping grounds are a popular tourist attraction. Go figure. Edward… though still stupefied… agreed and we headed off to London, the relief evident on Jasper's face. The guide on the tour seemed way to into his job, leading us through Whitechapel and raving about the bloody murders that happened there. He laughed when he said that they never caught him. Creepy. After the tour we headed home.
"You know Jack the Ripper was a Vampire, right?" Edward said in the Car.
"What?"
"Yeah, Carlisle knew him."
"You're lying!" There was no way Carlisle knew Jack the Ripper.
"Yep, He works for the Volturi guard now. He was getting to noticeable, so they took him. The really big guy with the scar."
"Crazy…" I answered. It's a small world. We pulled up to the house and I could feel the stress. Oh, poor Jasper. I honked the horn to give them notice.
"I was trying to be incognito." Edward sighed. That was the point I thought. This was going to be difficult.
The next few weeks were a mash a bad and good distractions. Here was a basic conversation.
Me: Edward, do you want to (fill in basic distraction here)
Edward: Um, are you sure you don't want to stay in today, love?
Me: No, I definitely want to go.
Edward: Ok… let's bring Jasper!
Me: No… I want some alone time to (Insert double entendre/ innuendo here)
Edward: Ok!
Honestly, the distractions weren't that bad.
About three weeks after my conversation with Jasper Edward and I came home from swimming the English Channel. We were laughing about how a fish had ended up in my swimsuit. Suddenly, Edward stopped. "Do you smell that?" he asked.
"Yeah…Vampire… but not any Cullen I've smelt." By now a knew everyone's scent.
"It's one I've smelt," Edward practically growled. I was about to ask when I saw a slight figure step out from behind a tree.
"Hey, Edward."
Cliffie!! If you watch Scrubs religiously (Like I do) then you'll get this. Picture the "Hey, Edward" the same way Dan says "Hey, little brother" to JD. If I can find it on YouTube I'll put it in my pro. My pet penguin has a fatal disease that can only be cured with REVIWS!! (Don't let Penny the Penguin die!!)
