"You're out." I stated when Rosalie skidded on the ground in hopes of a home run.
She looked at me with looks that could kill before brushing against me as she walked by. Guess she isn't my biggest fan.
"C'mon babe, it's just a game." Shouted Emmet from the other side of the clearing, completely like he wouldn't have thrown a fit if he got out; we all know he would.
We, or they, played a few more rounds before Alice shouted for everyone to stop, they panicked and I was asked to put my hair down before the whole coven got into formation around me. As if I needed protection.
Exactly two minutes later, a blur to my human eyes appeared at the edge of the forest and three figures stopped in front of us. I let a small smirk show on my lips when no one was looking.
Before us stood three nomads, James, his mate Victoria and Laurent; all very good friends of Kol and I, they might be able to smell me out since James is a very talented hunter and having spent years with me he won't be fooled by my magic; especially since the spell doesn't make me fully human, it lets my senses peak through ever so slightly.
"I believe this belongs to you." Laurent said to break the silence, throwing the ball at the Cullen doctor.
The conversation was tense on Cullen's part, after the introductions the trio asked to play with them and the doctor being who he is, agreed to it. Everyone started to walk off to get into position but Edward, James and I, he just kept on staring at me with his sharp gaze, head tilted to the sight in thought. Just to my luck the wind picked up as if without permission and blew a hasty blow from behind me to James.
Both covens crouched low in attacking positions, "You brought a snack?" Sneered Victoria, surprising me she didn't put two and two together yet but I still played the façade of a scared human; I've come to know that my blood smells very sweet to any vampire because of my witch side.
"You brought a human?" Laurent asked, raising his hands up in a peaceful manner.
The Cullen's kept on growling, "The girl is with us." Doctor stated and shot penny-dead a look which made Edward push me behind him even more, trying to keep me out of sight.
"Dis?" James asked and stood up straight, confusion shining in his eyes.
Laurent and Victoria followed his actions and followed his gaze to me in questioning. Oh boy, I'm gonna have to let everyone know… I didn't really know what to do, should I confirm his suspicion and blow my cover or not? I ended up looking to the other cold ones in confusion; hopefully they'll catch the bait. I wish that Edward wasn't able to read their minds, that could screw everything up.
"Why do you look like that? You know if Kol saw this, you would never life it through." James said gesturing to the attire my spell produced.
Of course he and Kol were buds; they would try to see who could annoy the shit out of me first. But I guess in the end, I love them both in some fucked up way…I miss Kol…
I plead with my eyes that I'll explain later before looking to penny-head, "Edward, what's going on?" I ask in a whisper, knowing that he can hear me as well as everyone else.
Edward turns his hair of bad bed hair to look at me, probably to shush me but Carlisle interrupts, "Yes Bella that is a good question." Carlisle proceeds to straighten after, I assume, realising that the nomads are no longer a threat. "Why don't we take this conversation back to our house? Edward take Bella with you," He said to penny-head, "And you can follow us," to the nomads.
Without another word to me, I'm dragged into the car by a set of ice cold hands and am dropped in the passage seat of the jeep. If this was any other time, I would go ape-shit on his head about manhandling me like that but then I remember that I'm playing a human at the moment.
Edward started the car and drove in the direction of Charlie's house like a maniac, "Edward what is going on?" I try again and this time I actually don't know what is going on in that pathetic head of his.
"We're leaving."
Thanks, I figured as much, genius! Why did I get involved in shit with cold ones, again? "What do you mean? I don't-"
He cut me off, "We have to get you as far from here as possible…" he explained shouting, looking at the road and gripping the steering wheel so tightly that if it was me I'd break it by now. "You didn't hear what he was thinking… those thoughts were… and then they disappeared so sud… just need you away… It's not safe…" He rambled on and on, some parts even my super sensitive ears didn't catch.
I didn't say anything else while in the car, I was too busy trying to think of a plan that would let me get to the Cullen house to the others before the Cullen's made a big mistake of attacking them. The problem was penny-head. I couldn't try to get away if he was closer than five or ten meters, cold ones might be slower than those from the original race but this one could match a regular vampire with no problems thanks to his minor 'gift', and that does include me as long as I keep this spell going that hides my identity.
As I noticed we were nearing my current house, or one of my sisters' descendants that goes by the name of Charlie, I quickly spelled the house so that Edward would be stuck in my bedroom the moment he enters. He told me to make a scene and say that I'm running away - bah like that's ever going to happen – I just nod and get out of the car while he runs to my room.
I walk lazily to the house and let myself in, "Hey Charlie, I'm home." I shout, stripping of my ugly coat and just as terrible shoes.
"In here Is." He shouted from the living room.
I threw myself into the sofa and looked at Charlie. He was a rather tall man in his late 30's; he had messily styled dark brown hair and a couple of days old stubble to match his hair and eyes. He was the sheriff of this little town and his body build showed that, especially since I've moved here.
When I first contacted him to ask if he would help me with hiding, he was a bit wary about letting me stay in his home even though I've known him since he was a child we didn't see each other for a good dozen years… and he was sick. He didn't know but I could smell it on him, he started to smell of death as his liver cancer progressed from stage C to D; he could thank that twat Renee for it, her run away stunt caused him to try drink away his sorrows.
Eventually he agreed to help me and suggested I imitate his daughter which was a great idea since she doesn't even come to see Charlie anymore. I gave him some of my blood on daily basis to fight his cancer and it worked after a month or so. Charlie went from being a shadow of a man to being physically fit like an NBA player. People did question his sudden change in health but the only people that mattered were simply happy that he was well; others just got bored after a while of having no fire to fuel the rumours.
"Is?" Charlie's voice brought me back from my thoughts.
"Sorry, what?" I asked and shook my head of recent memories.
Charlie smiled gently, "I asked how the game with the Cullen's was?"
I sighed, "We bumped into Kol's best friend." I grumbled out, still annoyed at the fact that now I'm going to have to come clean. "Speaking of witch I need to get going to the Cullen house to save his arse." I finished and got up.
"James?" He asked.
I nodded, said bye and left; I drove the piece of shit car to their house. To be honest, the car was beautiful because it was a classic; 1967 to be exact. It just needed a little love and pimping to look its best. I think I might keep it after all this drama and spend some time peacefully restoring it, I loved the beginnings of automobiles in the last century; I might not have that much respect for human life but they surely don't cease to amaze me with their inventions.
Pulling the pickup to a stop at the steps to their woodsy house, I sighed and slumped against the seat thinking of the bigger picture.
Michael is still probably roaming around trying to kill all originals, he is probably still trying to break his curse and I'm gonna be left in the open, the news will probably spread after drama with the Cullen's and what's been going on in Seattle; someone was trying to build an army of new born cold ones, Cullen's got rid of some of them and others I killed, but they didn't know that. The problem is that I tried to help and exposing myself to Cullen's will definitely make it around, information like this in the supernatural world is like rumours in high school.
With a sigh, I got out and slammed the door shut before walking up the steps. I didn't need to get to the top of the steps before the door opened and the pixie skipped out.
