Story

Chapter 2 - Edward

Bella's point of view

"Cut my prices! I can't believe she had the cheek to say such a thing……cut my prices, bull fucking shit I would rather cut my own throat thank you very much!"

I only listened to Jessica's conversation with half an ear and frankly if I was fully in the land of living I wouldn't give two tosses with what she was talking about anyway.

I had bigger things on my mind.

For the first time since I moved to my home I woke up after having the right amount of sleep. Last night when I went to bed I didn't hear the whispers that I usually heard when I turned in for the night. It was silent. That little chat I had with the couple that needed therapy and the one with the voice that made me melt must have did the trick, because they wasn't bothering me.

I woke up to a silent house, I got dressed and ready for work without feeling like im being watched. I couldn't put my head around it. It didn't feel right. Was this the calm before the storm? I didn't want to wait and find out so I decided today that I would do some research in the local library, see if there are any clues to who lived there in the past. Maybe if I knew their names and a brief paragraph on their backgrounds then we could be civil.

"Im talking about being civil to a bunch of ghosts. Fuck me I really have lost it." I mumbled this into my hand that my chin was resting on but it still received an odd look from Jessica who was barking at some poor sod on the other end of the phone.

I knew Jessica for eight years ever since I started school at seventeen. She was one of the first people to seek me out and be my 'friend.' We wasn't as close, I mean im a lot closer to Angela and we was all in the same group, but we still made the effort to have a morning coffee once a month, just so she can brag about how well her cosmetic company was doing. If you asked me I think her prices were just a tad bit high for gunk which permanently dyes your face, but it's definitely getting well known. Im starting to see more thirteen year old girls walking around as if they've just been tangoed.

"Bella are you with me?" I snapped my head up and smiled.

"Yeah of course. Trouble at the main base?"

She rolled her eyes. "Some ugly little tart was complaining my prices are too high. To be honest she can go swivel im not changing things just for some prissy stuck up snob." Takes one to know one I guess. "Anyway Bella I heard of your little ghost problem"

"Hmm been on the phone to Angela have we?"

She waved her hand at me and I moved my head back to make sure one of my eyes wouldn't get jabbed by those blood red talons. "Well it took a lot of convincing. I just had a hunch that something was up, she seemed very distant."

"Really."

She nodded. "Yeah but anyway what you need is an exorcist."

Suddenly pictures of fucked up girls with heads going like spin tops popped into my mind.

"You don't say?"

"Sarcasm Bella, it's so not fetching on a woman." Coming from someone who was swearing like a sailor a minute ago. "But listen, if those things threw your sofa up the wall then that's a demon, not a ghost."

I have heard of this but didn't really want to believe the idea that my home is being held ransom by a demon, also I heard of the cons of having a demon living in your home. Im not really taken to the idea of being the next Regan and swinging from the chandeliers.

"Anyway ive got a number for a local exorcist who might be able to help you." She handed me a card and I raised an eyebrow.

"Payment necessary? Since when are Priests so money hungry?"

"Oh Bella you are funny." She laughed. But I wasn't joking… "Give him a call and in no time your home will be all yours."

I scrunched the card up and dropped it my cold cup of coffee. "My home is mine Jessica, I can sort this problem out on my own I don't need an over charging man of God to get those things to leave." I stood up and zipped my jacket up. Im going to the library, I have new material that I need to look up.

Right before I exited the coffee shop I heard Jessica scream at me saying it's not safe. Yeah right like im going to listen to her.

~*~

I unlocked my front door with the same dreaded feeling I usually get when I know something's going to happen. I found a few things about exorcising demons on the net at the library that just made my mind boggle and im starting to contemplate that maybe I really should call in a professional. After all I knew I shouldn't be messing with these things.

Once again my home was quiet and that just didn't feel right to me at all. The whispering may have freaked the shit out of me but I actually grew accustomed to it. I headed into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. My publisher rang me demanding to push out another three chapters by Friday so I had a long week ahead of me.

Since I was younger I had a very over active imagination that often got me in more trouble then it was worth. Dad always said that I'll either be a writer or be one of these people on tv who claims they've been abducted by aliens, the second one sounded cool but I just didn't see how it could pay well.

Loading up my laptop I opened up word and took a sip of water to see if I could get some inspiration. I was writing my first book and finding it really fucking hard, writers block sucked big floppy dick.

"Sensing her fear he approached quietly, leaves rustling under his heavy boots……are you writing a story?"

I jumped up out of my chair and spun around to where the voice was coming from……directly behind my chair. I suddenly screamed, not expecting to see what I saw.

A man, a fucking mahusive man, like a giant, was standing with a traumatised expression on his face. I must have scared him. He was dressed in a light blue shirt with worn out jeans, he had very short black hair and eyes like gold.

"Stop screaming!"

"Who the fuck are you?! Your one of the ghosts aren't you." He cocked his head to the side and looked confused. I felt myself starting to get hysterical. "No wait you're not a ghost you're a……a demon!"

"Look im not a……hold on did you just call me a fucking demon?"

I picked up my water bottle and gave it a huge squeeze. Water spurted from the end and was zooming towards him. Luckily my aim was shit hot tonight and I got him square in the face. "The power of Christ compels you!"

He started to jump around shouting and cursing like a sailor, I even think he spoke German at one point. Wow a German ghostie! He wiped the water out of his eyes and glared at me.

"Are you freaking kidding me? The power of Christ compels…what the fuck is that? Im not a ghost!"

"Demon!"

"Or a pissing demon!"

I heard laughing coming from behind me and I spun round. My eyes settled on a girl who was the complete opposite from the giant behind me. She was actually really tiny, definitely smaller then me and im only five foot four. She had black spiky hair and was currently doubled over in fits of giggles and dressed in the latest fashion. I watched as four others walked through the living room door and stood next to the hysterical pixie in front of me.

I looked down at the crotch of my jeans that were feeling rather warm. I think ive just pissed my pants.

"Emmett, Alice why are you here?" I recognised that voice, it was the really calming one from the other night. It was coming from a man who had platinum blonde hair, he was scarily handsome and had the same colour eyes as the heffer behind me. He was quite tall to, but was slim, not bulky like the one called Emmett was.

"And why are you wet?" This time the female who had her arm linked through the tall blonde dude spoke. She had a ghost of a smile on her face and her eyes were yet again that coppery gold colour. Fuck me those are some kick ass contacts.

The one called Alice finally stopped her laughing and stood up straight. "Oh Bella your brilliant, that was some funny stuff." She was wiping tears from her eyes and then turned towards the large group next to her. "She just did one hell of an exorcist scene to Emmett, I haven't laughed like that for ages."

"She squirted me with water." Does she sound like he's sulking? I watched Alice burst into a fit of hysterics and I couldn't help but smile a little to. Her laugh was just so infectious. "Alice shut it, it's not funny."

"Look you two enough now. The poor girl looks really over whelmed, I think we need to explain a few things." The platinum blonde man spoke up and gestured towards the chair I was sitting in moments before. "Please take a seat Bella."

I sat down with a thump.

The blonde haired man and the woman linking his arm sat on the sofa opposite me and they smiled. Emmett joined the group and received a slap across the back of his head by a woman whose beauty could put even the prettiest of women to shame.

"My names Carlise by the way, this is my wife Esme, our daughter Alice," He pointed to the dark haired girl who was laughing at me a while ago. "Rosalie," The stunning blonde who actually looked like she was going to kill me. "Our son Emmett who you've already met." Carlise grinned. "And the blonde haired boy there is our other son Jasper." He looked like he was really uncomfortable and he jumped when his name was mentioned.

Riiiight. Im totally freaked out and their introducing themselves to me? "No offense but this isn't a tea party, I don't really care who the hell you are. All I want to know is that if your not ghosts or demons like I originally thought, then what the hell are you?" I watched as they all looked at each other, communicating with their eyes words that I would never hear. "Or better yet. What are you doing in my house? Ill call the police, my Dad's the chief I can easily get him out here."

The blonde Rosalie laughed then and leaned on the back of the sofa. "I would like to see you try bitch. We run rings round that pathetic lot on a daily basis."

"Rose!" Emmett snapped which actually made my heart stop beating, as if I wasn't scared before, the sound of his voice rising just shaved a few years off my life.

"No Emmett stop snapping at me! Ive really had enough of you these past few weeks when we discovered her living here." Excuse me? If you want to take charge, be the big man, then go and tell her why it's dangerous to be living here."

Everything went quiet then. Hmm I kind of forgot about that!

"It's not my place Rose and you know it."

"Fine I'll tell her."

"Rosalie!" This time Alice spoke up. The fun a jovial look in her eyes disappeared, she was now serious and staring at her, once again communicating in a way that I don't think I'll ever get the hang of. "You know the consequence if we interfere."

"Who cares! I want my home back! Edward can go fuck himself……"

"Edward? Who's Edward?" I finally found my voice!

Six pairs of eyes looked at me then, Alice sighed and shook her head, looking at me sympathetically.

"Edward's the reason for why you're in danger if you stay."

~*~

Yep I really wasn't happy with this chapter either. Ive kind of drummed out the last bit in a dazed state. Just came back from my parent's family firework party and im exhausted. Im still new at all of this im sure ill get better….for your own sake I hope I do lol.

Remember reviews are much loved, even the meanie ones!!
