Chapter Two: Decisions
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight Saga; I'm just screwing with the characters. Have fun with whatever happens and characters I make up.
Edward's POV
This agonizing pain could be unbearable sometimes and now was one of those times. I sat in the corner of my room curled in a ball waiting for something, anything to happen but nothing. I could hear the television in the living room being turned on but no one was probably watching it.
Emmett quit playing his video games as soon as we left Forks. Rosalie never works on the cars and Alice isn't even her shopaholic self anymore. Jasper has to feel everyone's pain and sorrow including mine and on top of that his own guilt. They all miss their clumsy sister and best friend even Rosalie regrets the way she treated Bella. Esme no longer works in her garden or on house designs and Carlisle constantly works, they both hurt from the loss of a daughter. It's not normal for our family to behave this way and it's my entire fault.
I should have never brought Bella into this family but I don't regret loving her. I could never stop anyways but I've ruined everyone's life. I don't regret anything that I did with Bella, I love her; I just shouldn't have allowed myself to get near her. All it did was bring danger to her life and sorrow to ours when we left. Maybe it would help if I left. I still have one more monster to take out of Bella's life. Victoria. I need to get rid of her so Bella can live safe, happy human life. I quickly stood up from the floor and flit to my bedroom door.
Oh no, you don't, Edward. You leaving will solve nothing because once Victoria's gone, you won't even return. I'm not having that, it'll hurt the family even more, Alice's thoughts hit me.
Alice stood in front of my door blocking my way out. She was angry and her arms were crossed over her chest. She could be such a pain sometimes.
"Come on and join everyone down stairs," Alice said as she grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of my room. "It's time you stop moping. You were the one who made the choice to leave Bella so you're going to own up to it."
I flinched at hearing her say Bella's name and she noticed. Her face softened up and she sat me down next to her and Jasper. Emmett was flipping through channels trying to find something interesting to watch. Rosalie was lying in his lap just staring at the TV. That's when a commercial on one of the channels caught Emmett and Rosalie's attention. Emmett quickly stopped on the channel.
Dragon Martial Arts Tournament taking place Friday through Sunday all in the month of December in Dallas, Texas. The guest Martial Art master appearances by the Danger Sisters of Madame Swift and now returning Black Swan. Don't miss it.
"Hey, Emmett, Rosalie, isn't that your favorite martial arts fighters?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, Black Swan took a couple of years off. She's just now returning. Her sister, Madame Swift signed a movie contract for this new martial arts movie. It has to be good if she's signing for it," Rosalie told him.
"Well, we need a change for a while. Why don't we all get tickets for this and go watch it?" Jasper suggested.
Everyone except Alice stared at him stunned. This was the first time we've ever heard him say something about going back to Texas where this life had begun for him. He's never mentioned it before and never seemed to want to go back near it. Alice threw her arms around his neck and embraced him.
"What a wonderful idea, Jazzy. It'll be great. I'll call Carlisle and Esme, they'll want to hear about this," Alice said as she pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"I guess I'll get the plane tickets arranged and hotel rooms," Jasper said as he stood up from the couch. He turned toward us with a raised brow asking, "Is it that big of a surprise that I mention us going back to Texas?"
Rosalie, Emmett, and I nodded our heads as Jasper snickered and he walked away, his phone in hand. The mood in the house began to change since the decision was made. Carlisle and Esme arrived to a lighter and happier atmospheric home as we busied ourselves with packing. If only I had Bella with me, Alice would be arguing with her about what to pack. I sighed and closed my suitcase, tucking the one photo of Bella in my shirt pocket. Maybe this trip will be for the best.
The plane began its descent in the Dallas airport as the sun had already set. The passenger got off noisily in the second class seats while barely any noise was made here in the first class. That's probably because there are less people to make noises with their luggage. My family grabbed our bags quickly and quietly not wanting to draw unwanted attention to ourselves. The rental cars were already out front of the airport as we made our way to them.
Emmett and Rosalie took one car, while Carlisle and Esme took another and I rode with Alice and Jasper in the last car. I didn't really care to look at what type of cars they were; my mind was to full of images of Bella. We passed the building that the Dragon Martial Arts Tournament was taking place and it was huge. We pulled up into the garage of the hotel we were staying in. Carlisle and Esme checked us in as we looked at a flyer with two women with face paint on and arms crossed standing back to advertising the tournament.
"That's Black Swan," Emmett pointed out the women with a white painted face that had black swirly paint the flared out around her eyes to look like wings.
"And that's her sister, Madame Swift," Rosalie said pointing to the woman with the same white base coat that had sapphire blue swirls marks to represent wind.
Both women had mahogany hair and brown eyes that looked sort of like Bella's. Oh how I missed my love, my Bella. We all had rooms on the second floor and I had a room to myself. There was really no use in it. I looked at the flyer of the tournament that was starting tomorrow. At least it'll be a change for us.
Bella's POV
Rae's house was huge a three story mansion with an indoor pool, a game room, a library, and a computer room, along with six bedroom and a bathroom and closet for each. I had the room next to Rae's. It was cool being in her house and all but it sort of reminded me of the Cullens house. I looked down at my vanity desk at the black and whiter face paint that I had once wore and will wear again. This will be interesting. What would the Cullens think if they saw me out there fighting? Would they still see the clumsy me or will they see the powerful fighter I am?
"Are you ready for dinner, sis? I made fajitas with Mexican rice. It's really delicious," she asked me standing in my doorway.
"Yes, I'm coming," I said as I laid the photo of me and Edward at my birthday party on the vanity desk.
The tournament will began tomorrow and I'm so ready for it. Look out world, Black Swan is back in action and better than ever.
AN: I've gotten so many reactions so far to this story and I just started it…I love it. So keep it coming and more chapters are to come. Thanks everyone.
