I'm not your normal girl. I didn't grow up with a lot of people gushing after me, or falling for me, but when I came to Forks Washington I thought everything had changed. That I'd found my soul mate, but I was wrong about that as well. A month ago, I'd been standing in the clearing in the forest when Edward broke it off with me, and on that day I'd run after him, but he never turned around, and I knew in my heart he'd never come back.
Today would be the first day I'd hope that he would have stayed for me. It started out normally, I went to school, went to work at the Newton's outside care store, and came home, but at about nine o' clock when I was doing my homework and I just suddenly puked over everything. I jumped to my feet and ran to the bathroom where I continued to throw up.
Charlie must have heard me because suddenly his hands were holding my hair away from my face. "Kiddo, I think you should stay home from school tomorrow, and call Mrs. Newton and tell her you're sick," I nodded, and Charlie let go of my hair as I flushed the toilet and returned to my bed. I tore off the comforter, and everything else I puked on. I quickly went downstairs to put everything in the washer before grabbing a blanket, and a huge bowl in case I puked in the night and couldn't get to the bathroom.
That night was when it surfaced after months of being dormant like a volcano.
I was dreaming about nothing in particular, nothing at all mentioning, but halfway through the night everything changed. Suddenly I was getting a group of flashes one after another without stopping.
The First Vision:
Alice was entering the empty Cullen house and she leant over a floorboard. She punched it and it flew up. She caught it and drug out a humongous brief case. She opened it, and I counted at least twenty billion dollars because she took a few minutes to count all of it. When she was finished she took out a letter, put it inside, closed it, and wrote Bella on the front of the case with a sharpie. Alice then replaced the floor board and ceiled it in. She then took out a piece of paper and pulled out the floorboard right next to the case. She wrote with the sharpie: BELLA THE COMBANATION IS 1-27-21. She replaced, and ceiled that floorboard also.
The Second Vision:
There was a person in a jumpsuit grabbing a vial of some blue and green liquid. They placed it in another brief case before removing their jumpsuit. I couldn't see the person's face, but I saw a hand throw the blue vial and it smashing. It spread throughout the air system and suddenly everyone started to die.
The Third Vision:
I saw a world with no hope of surviving as zombies roamed through the streets and person after person was devoured by them. And the symbol of a candy cane umbrella was stamped everywhere and I recognized it as the symbol of the umbrella corporation.
The Fourth and Final Vision:
I saw a group of faces pass through my vision. One of myself, then one of a female with blonde hair, a female with dark black hair, a female with a red-brown hair, and a male that looked like he belonged in prison.
I shot up from my bed, sweat beading down my face. My entire mind knew what to do before three seconds passed. I looked at the clock and was surprised to see that it was twelve o'clock in afternoon. I jumped out of bed, quickly went to take a shower, and ran out to my truck.
A half hour later I was at the Cullens house. I ran inside and stopped directly where Alice must have put the case and the combination if what I saw was a reality. The floorboards peeled right off and I saw the paper and the case. I pulled out the case, reread the paper with the combo, dialed it in, and grabbed Alice's note.
Dear Bella,
I'm sorry I can't be here for you when you need me most, but I have to stay here with my family. They don't know I've left you this much money, but I've found a way to hide it from them. I'm sorry your changing within, but this will help you save yourself, and all those you love around you. In this case holds one hundred billion dollars. Use it wisely, and to indulge before everything goes away.
Love,
Alice
I looked down at the money, thanked Alice wherever she was, before standing up and running back out to my truck.
An hour and a half later I was in the heart of Seattle, in the R.V. lot. I pushed open the front door, and went to the manager.
"I want your biggest R.V. I want it so huge that it's fourteen stories high, three living quarters that can have up to 1000 hundred people on each floor, one humongous kitchen area for cooking, one infirmary or hospital room, one storage room for any handy man things I'd need one library/slash study and teaching room. One weaponry floor that can hold over 1000 weapons of any shape or size. One food storage shelter that's completely refrigerated, and another for food that doesn't need to be refrigerated. The last three floors I want to be car storage areas that are tall enough to hold buses, and long enough to hold up to ten buses. The last edition of the house is an elevator that is long, wide, and sturdy enough to hold one bus at a time. It also has to be equipped with complete Wi-Fi coverage and with five satellites, and the dunk tank has to have an extension that can go across miles," When I finished the managers jaw was hanging open, and he was staring at me bewildered.
"To do this will take me at least a month," he explained.
"I'll give you a ten percent increase of the price to get it here, and finished in two hours," the manager's jaw dropped even more. He started to stutter.
"Okay . . . I'll . . . I'll do it . . . just wait here. All together it will be $850,000,000," he said. I nodded.
"You deliver I'll give you your money, up front, no credit card, no checks," he smirked and ran off.
Two hours later I was ushered outside to see the R.V. I'd requested it was huge. At least a mile long and the width of one lane of the highway. It would be a very risky thing to drive, but as I got closer I saw that it was divided so that the whole thing would turn at the same time due to springs. I looked at the manager before heading to my car I fished out the money he wanted and held it in one arm. Holding out my hands for the keys first.
The manager gave them to me, and I handed over the money. I dropped into the front seat of my truck, and sat down, turned the engine on, swirled around and pushed the open elevator button on the R.V. keys.
I watched as the back of the R.V. descended to the ground and opened up. I drove my truck into the elevator, and looked at my key and pressed the third floor button. The elevator slowly went up and opened on the opposite side I entered in. I drove for a while until I reached the end of the third floor. I parked my truck and stepped outside, and luckily there was a smaller elevator that would take me up to the driving side seat. I went inside the little chamber that let you drive and I started the engine. It was surprising with such a huge R.V. that it wasn't roaring in pain. I turned it around surprisingly with ease. I then headed to the nearest weapon shop.
I pulled into the lot and quickly entered. I went to the clerk and asked for everything, and I meant everything. His jaw dropped too, but he didn't ask any questions after I told him my father, the police chief of Forks, Washington needed all this.
He went row by row and lathered everything into sixteen carts. Once he was finished, I took a rope and tied all the carts into a straight line and paid the clerk before I went back to the R.V. I was surprised that everything felt so light to me, and the clerk was looking after me amazed.
I entered the elevator pushed the button for floor number four and I stepped inside the armory. I started to take all the weapons I had out and placing them up on the wracks, and labeling the drawers beneath with the type of bullet and weapon there meant for. I did this for about another hour and a half before I got back up into the driver's seat and left the weapon store.
I got home at about seven, and I'd finished grabbing a shot gun from the armory, before decending from the R.V. I entered the house expecting to be bombarded with a rush of questions by Charlie. I turned the corner, and came to face to face with one of my worst nightmares. Laurent, was hanging over my dad, his jaw clamped on my dad's neck.
"Get off my dad," I snarled as I cocked my shotgun. Laurent looked up and released my dad. Blood pooling around his ankles.
"Oh Bella, it's been so long since I've seen you," Suddenly he was inches away from my face. His arm brushed mine, and I gasped as I was taken out of my reality, and my fear. I was sucked into another fit of visions.
I saw Jacob Black, run past me and transfer into a humongous wolf, and race after another wolf. I saw a clearing where Laurent was meant to be and where he'd meet his end by the wolves. I saw this all fade out, and suddenly I was seeing a new future.
I was walking, with a group of individuals, with black stealth clothes that had slits in the clothes where you could place weapons in. I was mounded down with tons, and tons of weapons that weighed a lot, but my body showed no strain. I was followed by a few faces I knew. I was shocked to see Mike Newton, Jessica Stanley, Angela Weber, Eric Yorkie, Ben Angela's boyfriend (sorry I forgot his last name), their parents, Charlie, Renee, Phil, and a lot of other faces I didn't know. The blonde from my earlier vision, and a few other of the same faces. But one I could tell was a vampire. She was barely fifteen, but her eyes were pure red, and she had auburn hair. If only I knew her name. (A/N: That's Bree Tanner).
Then another vision over took me, I saw a newspaper flying through the air until it smashed against a car window. It read: The Undead Walk I read the words below and they consisted of the date when the undead (zombies) took over Raccoon City. I saw the blonde's face again, and she was lying on a stone tub's floor. I saw an alarm displaying the date. April 11th 2010. That was three months from now, and I had a strange feeling deep in my gut that I had to be there for this. Before the virus was set off into the world I needed to be here with this girl.
I was taken back into reality just as Laurent went for my throat. I screamed and fell to the ground at the same time I threw up my shot gun and pulled the trigger. Laurnet's face exploded and then his body fell to the earth. I learned from Edward, and the whole James incident taught me you had to light vampires on fire to make sure they were dead.
I grabbed his body and pulled him out into the driveway. I grabbed a can of gas from the garage and stared to pour it over Laurent's body. I then went back inside and grabbed some matches. I stood there looking at him, and I struck a match. His body went up in flames and a puffs of purple smoke rose from his body.
"Who's an insignificant human now Edward," I mumbled as I slammed my foot into Laurent's chest over and over again before he was completely on fire. I was about to crumble down and cry, when I remembered my father and the bite he'd taken.
I couldn't deal with my father being a vampire. Not now when I needed him to be at my side as my co-captain of the army against the umbrella corporation I was going to raise. I ran to him and I leant by him trying to think of what to do, but then my fingers traced over my scar.
I was disgusted, but I knew I had no other choice. I ran to the kitchen got another huge bowl and went back to Charlie. I put my mouth to his neck and started to suck until I tasted something besides blood fill my mouth. I spit out the mouthful in my mouth into the bowl, and continued to suck. I repeated this process for ten minutes when I was sure I'd gotten all of it I got a bandage from the bathroom and placed it over the bite mark.
I didn't sit there to see if he was alright. I just ran to the kitchen and grabbed his police cruiser keys. This would be highly illegal, but I didn't care about that now. I had to get Jessica, Mike, and Angela to all meet me at Jessica's house.
As I stepped out the door, I flipped my cell phone open and dialed all there numbers as I drove to Jesicca's number.
An hour and a half later. Everyone was sitting in front of me, looking up at me with confusion and expectant eyes.
"I know you guys are all wondering why I called you here, but I've come to warn you about a threat that's about to come face to face with mankind. In three months on April 11th there will be an Apocalypse of some sorts. On that day a virus will be released into the atmosphere that will bring the dead back to life as zombies." I finished and waited for questions, but all I got was a humongous group of people gawking at me like I'd just gone nuts.
"Oh come on Bella, you can't possibly believe we'd buy into this crap," Jessica burst out. I glared at her, but she was right, I wouldn't believe anything I just said, but I had to find a way to convince them, but how. But a thought struck me, if I could somehow show them what I saw than they'd have no choice but to believe me
"I'll prove I'm telling you the truth, everyone get up here and grab hands," I instructed. There were a lot of protests, but Angela took the lead and grabbed my fingers. Mike eager as always to be close to me jumped up and snatched my hands and held on to it eagerly. Everyone fallowed there lead.
Once everyone was holding hands I told them to close there eyes and focus on trying to tget the image I was trying to show them. I instantly felt stress, and pain shock through my body as I struggled to push the image of the newspaper and the zombies through all of there minds.
"Oh come on this is completely ridic—," Jessica was stopped halfway through her sentence because a vial of cloudy mist rose in the center of the circle, and took the shape of a mirror. Then where the glass should have been the memory I'd been trying to show played through it. Everyone watched silently but a lot of the couldn't believe their eyes. Then when that vision was done, I focused on showing them the one of the man throwing the T-virus and starting all of this.
Then I tried showing them the memory of me buying the R.V., the weapons, and the mass of the R.V. when I was finished the smoke drifted away along with the vision.
Angela's father was the first to speak, "how long do we have to pack all of our things," he asked. I glanced up at the clock.
"You have until tomorrow at noon, but I need to know are any of you doctors, or trained men with guns?" I asked. Mike, and his family all raised their hands, along with Jessica's and Angela's fathers, and then Eric, and Ben's family.
"Now raise two hands if you're a doctor," Jessica and Angela's father raised their hands, along with Eric and Ben's fathers. I sighed that thought would relieve my stress.
"What now," Angela asked as she held my hand.
"We all go home pack, and get some sleep, and then tomorrow we head off to Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Macy's, and any other store we can," I said. They all nodded there heads in understanding not questioning where I was getting all of the money.
A half hour later I was back at home, I walked inside and I found Charlie sitting on the kitchen counter. His face completely empty, and he was just holding his neck like it was a baby.
"Dad are you alright?" I said standing in front of me.
"Bella what was he," he mumbled out, at first I thought I'd misheard him, but he stared into my eyes. And I could see tears begin to form.
"Dad, he was . . . he was a . . . he was a vampire, and his name was Laurent," I said. My dad's eyes stared at me as if I hadn't said anything.
"Are you, are you telling me you knew him, you knew this guy who attacked me," I thought about my response and decided on the truth.
"Dad, do you know why the Quileutes are so suspicious of the Cullens," I asked he shook his head no. I took a breath, "the Quileutes know the Cullens to be vampires, and I knew that they were when I first started dating Edward. And I met Laurent when he arrived with two other vampires name James and Victoria. James attacked me last year and that's how I ended up in the hospital, and that's how I know Laurent," I finished as if it was the simplest thing, but the truth was that now that I thought of it I'd been changed back then.
The Cullens had assumed that by removing the venom from my system that it would keep me a human, but they were wrong. Some of the venom had mixed with my bloods and was changing me from a human to something else. That's how I'd had those visions, and that's how I'd summoned the power to show everybody those visions and my memories. I didn't know what else would happen but now I knew that me and Charlie were in the same boat.
"Dad, there's one more thing, and I can only show you if you let me hold your hand," Charlie appraised my words for a second before taking my hand. It took a minute but I got into his head, and I showed him everything. Every secret I ever kept from him, and my thoughts as if they were expressed in a book. The title Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer popped into my head for some reason.
"How long until we have to leave," my dad asked when I let go of his hands?"
"We're all leaving tomorrow at noon so we have to get some sleep, and then pack everything." He hopped off the counter and headed upstairs to bed, and I followed his example.
