-Glances around awkwardly- Heh, well Hello everyone! ^.^
Maggiepie34 here with your new sequel to Flightless Bird. What's that? It's been over 8 months? Huh. Well I really suck, don't I?
I could write a long list of excuses, but I won't bore you with that.
Truthfully, I wrote this chapter months ago. But I wanted to make a storyline, to find out where I'm actually going with this.
Err.... I still don't have a clue what I'm doing with this story, but I'm putting up this chapter anyway and hoping I can move on from there! -coughs-
Anyway, if this chapter is kinda bad, I'm sorry. Just....lie to me or something. (just kidding)
Constructive Criticism is welcome but since my Self Esteem Level is a big fat whopping 0, please no flames. ^^"
Oh! And I do not own Twilight. :D
Here it goes!
Chapter 1
"Alice enough! I am finished shopping with you!" I yelled.
"Bella, Bella, Bella. We've only been here an hour. Just relax. Don't you want a pretty dress for prom?" My small pixie friend screeched.
"Alice we've been here three hours and I don't want to go to prom!" I complained.
"Shoes…" Alice ignored me.
"You told Edward you'd have me back an hour ago!" I yelled, "Chill out Bella, Edward knows where we are-" Alice stopped in mid sentence because she had a vision.
People started staring at us.
"Oh crap." Alice murmured and dropped the hangers she was holding.
"What?!" I asked panicking.
"We have to get out of here!" Alice said.
"What? Why?" I asked.
Alice grabbed my arm and we tore out of the store.
We ran, well, Alice ran I stumbled behind.
"Alice you're ripping my arm off! Why are we running?" I yelled.
"Shh!"
"What are we doing?!" I fumed. "People are staring! What are we running from-?"
This time I was cut off by a familiar roaring sound.
"Alice!" Edward growled.
I smiled. Oh, this is what Alice was running from. I played along.
"Edward, save me!" I yelled.
"Give me my Bella!" Edward hollered.
"Never! Mwahaha!" Alice cackled.
The two had to run at human speed so it was even funnier to see them struggling to run so slow.
Slow for them anyway.
Soon Alice got tired of my sluggish running and scooped me up in her arms.
"Alice put me down!" I yelled.
Edward was gaining on us, so Alice took a quick right turn and dodged right into the girls' bathroom.
"Ha!" Alice yelled.
Edward snarled outside the door. "I'll get you Alice!"
"You can try!" Alice trilled a laugh.
"Ehem." An unfamiliar voice coughed.
Alice and I turned our heads to see an elderly woman trying to get out of the bathroom door that Alice stood in front of.
"Oh… um sorry…" Alice said quietly. My face was bright red.
Alice slowly walked out of the way so the woman could get out.
The woman's eyes widened when she saw Edward right outside the door.
"I think you have the wrong room, Sonny." She said and winked at Edward.
All three of us just stood there with our mouths hanging as she walked away. Edward's eye was twitching a little.
Typical day with my vampire family.
Six months ago, I was in a plane crash. The plane crashed on a small-undiscovered island off the coast of Alaska.
Edward, my vampire boyfriend and his father, Carlisle, both happened to be on the same exact plane. We were the only survivors.
We were on the small island for about a month. In that time I discovered about how Edward and his whole family were vegetarian vampires. Also, Edward and I had fallen in love.
Later that night Edward was dropping me off at my house. We stood in Charlie's driveway.
Edward smiled that crooked smile that I loved and gave me a hug.
"I'll be in your room." He murmured in my ear, and in a flash, he was gone.
I got my key from under the mat and walked in the house.
"Bella? Is that you?" Charlie called from the living room. He was sitting on the couch watching some football game.
"Yep, it's me." I said smiling.
"How was shopping."
"Tiring."
He laughed. "Alice is very overexcited at times."
"More like all the time." I muttered.
Charlie chuckled. "Listen kid, you're mom called today. She really misses you. She wants you to visit."
I groaned. It's not like I didn't want to see her, I did. Very badly. But ever since the plane accident, I've been terrified of flying. The last time I saw her was before I left for Forks.
"Char- Dad-"
"Bella. She really misses you. She'd fly here herself but her Phil had another baseball accident, broke his leg in four places. Renee needs to stay at home and help him."
"Dad, it's not like I don't want to see her… it's just…"
"The plane?"
I nodded slowly.
"Bells, I highly doubt that's going to happen again."
"I'll think about it, okay?"
Charlie grunted, "Alright."
"Night dad!" I yelled as I ran up the stairs, trying to avoid anymore talks.
Sure enough, when I ran in my room Edward was sitting on my bed looking as beautiful as ever. But he had a sad look in that amazing face of his.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Don't be afraid." He whispered.
"Huh?"
"Plane." He said simply.
Oh, right. Of course he had overheard.
"You should go see her." He said.
I shook my head like a child.
Edward walked over to me and wrapped his cold arms around me.
"It will be okay, Alice can check to make sure nothing happens."
"The future changes." I whispered.
He sighed. "What if I went with you?"
I looked up at him astonished. "You would do that? For me?"
"I would do anything for you, love."
"But I wouldn't make you do that. Plus Charlie would never let you go with me." I sighed
"You don't know that." He countered.
"Oh don't I?"
"Absolutely not! Out of the question! Never!" Charlie fumed.
I looked over to Edward and mouthed, 'I told you so.'
The next night, Edward, without my permission, told Charlie about him going to Florida with me to visit my mother.
And of course he, as I said he would, went ballistic.
"Dad, it's not like we're going off to Florida alone. We're going to see Mom." I said.
"I'm just going so Bella won't be so terrified of the plane, Chief Swan." Edward added.
Charlie grumbled. "No."
"Mom wouldn't mind." I whispered.
Oh yes, I went there. I used the 'Mom wouldn't mind card.'
Charlie's face turned red, then he sighed, defeated. "Then ask her." He said quietly, turning his attention back to the game.
I instantly felt guilty. He hated when I did things like that.
I hung my head and went into the kitchen where Edward was.
"He'll be fine." Edward soothed.
"Yeah, fine." I muttered and picked up the phone.
Like I predicted, Renee was perfectly fine with everything. I was leaving tomorrow.
I had trouble sleeping last night, even with Edward humming my lullaby. I kept dreaming of the plane that nearly killed me last year. Reminiscences flooded my memory. I could never forget the fear I felt during the fateful seconds as the plane went down. The pain I had before Edward and Carlisle dug me out of the plane wreckage. Seeing all those victims, even if it was only a few seconds. The memories burned in my head, they'll always be there to haunt me. I wondered many times why I was the only human survivor. I had a big record for being klutzy. I thought for sure I would die that day.
Good? Bad? Horrible?
You tell me, please review.
I'll post the next chapter depending on the feedback.
Oh and suggestions are not only welcome, but needed.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!!!! :D
