Rating: M
Pairing: Bellice, and more...
A/N: Ok... I admit, I caved. I was gonna wait till Monday, but I figured if I put it up on the weekend, people wouldn't have to wait until they had a free moment before they could read. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
I don't own anything related to Twilight. Pointless to sue, don't got money.
Hope you Enjoy! ^^
The science lab smelt a little off from the rest of the school. The students would say it smelt like a lot of different cleaning solutions. But for a supernatural creature of any sort, it smelt of all the chemicals that were stored in the cabinet in the back and of bleach. It wouldn't be enough though, to delude the two different scents that warred silently with each other in the small space.
Alice was one of the first in the room, taking her spot in the back, near the window. Her sketch book was out, and she was drawing silently at the moment. She heard the other students, and the teacher talking, but it was when the door slid open that she found herself looking up.
Bella walked in the room casually, heading to the teacher, "Hello, My name's Bella." She stated, directing her words to every one, though she kept eye contact with the teacher.
"Hello Bella, take a seat next to Ms. Cullen."
Bella nodded and walked towards the back of the class. Her nose twitched slightly when she sat down, but she gave the little vampire a friendly smile as she got a note book out. They preceded to ignore each other for the duration of the class. When the bell rang, Alice was surprised to see that Bella was already up and out the door. She stood, puzzled by the brunette, and placed her things in her bag.
She was just about to leave the room when a piece of paper on their table caught her eyes.
'We were born in this little town.
Growin' up I was countin' down
Every single day till we made our get-away'
'I have wondered about you
Where will you be when this through
If all goes as planned
Will you redeem my life again?'
'The steady burst of snow is burning my hands,
I'm frozen to the bones, I am
A million mile from home, I'm walking away
I can't remind your eyes, your face'
Alice frowned as she re-read the paper. Bella had spent the whole class period writing song lyrics? She grabbed the paper, flipping it over when something on the back caught her attention. A picture of a wolf took up the whole of the back, with its head turned, as if it was staring Alice in the eyes.
"Alice?"
Alice looked up to see Rosalie standing in the doorway, "Hm?"
"We have government next."
Alice nodded, slipping the paper into her binder as she followed her sister out of the class room.
~o0o~
"Well, I'm probably dead." Bella murmured, leaning against her bike while waiting for the others.
"Why do you say that?" Jade asked, popping up next to the older woman.
"I drew a picture of a wolf, with lyrics written on the other side... I left it in class."
"And that makes you dead how?"
"I share that class with Ms. Alice Cullen." Bella chuckled, "Did I add that I sit right next to her?"
"Oh, well, yes; then you might be screwed." Jade stated, grabbing her helmet and getting on her motorcycle, "I'm gonna head to the house and get the truck. Rayn stated it was my turn to do the shopping."
Bella nodded, "I'll see you later then."
Jade nodded back and raced out the parking lot. Bella watched her friend in silence as she waited for the other two of their group. It didn't take them very long to get to her, and soon they were all heading home, while the vampire's across the lot watched in silence.
"They're not human." Rosalie muttered, leaning against Emmet.
"Yes, well, I'm sure they figured out that we're not human either." Jasper stated softly.
"I don't care." Edward announced, "I want the brunette."
Jasper was the only one to see, and feel, the instant rage that rolled off Alice in waves. That emotion was quickly followed by a deep sense of confusion that showed on her face. She tried to shake it off and mentioned that maybe they should speak with Carlisle and Esme about this before doing anything else. The only one to grumble was Rosalie, who just wanted to get rid of them before they became a problem for her family.
~o0o~
"So, this is our new home sweet home?" Dragon asked, walking in the door.
"Yes, for at least the next few years." Bella murmured, heading for the couch and grabbing her laptop, "Be prepared for them to watch us."
Dragon nodded before heading up the stairs to her room and starting on her homework. They had gone to school so many times that they could do their work with their eyes closed. When she was done, she moved to her new bed and grabbed the book she was currently reading. She had to find someway to keep busy till Jade got home with food and they made Bella cook.
Rayn just walked right past Bella and went down the hallway to her room. The house was laid out with the master and one regular room on the second story and then two on the bottom with the family room and kitchen. Jade and Rayn took the downstairs and they had given the master to Bella, so that left Dragon with the other room on top.
Rayn spent her time looking through the fashion magazines she had unpacked the day before. She even spent awhile on her computer looking up new outfits and boots on Amazon. About an hour later, she walked into the living room and started playing one of her video games. She kept the volume low so Bella could work on the story she was typing. It didn't matter though, as all three of the house's occupants could hear it perfectly.
It was another hour or so before Jade walked in the door, holding four bags in her hands. She could have easily carried all of them and be done in a flash, but she had caught wind of the Cullen's scent. She huffed out a playful breath, and watched as Bella and Rayn stopped what they were doing and moved to help unload the back of the truck. When everything was put away, Bella grabbed the ingredients for fajitas and got to work. She put her headphones in as she worked, humming and sometimes dancing along to the music that filled her ears.
While they were waiting for dinner, the other three started a multi-player round on their Halo Reach game. At first it had only been Jade and Rayn, but Dragon had wondered down at one point in time and joined their game, beating the other two several times. Thirty minutes later, they were called into the kitchen; dinner was ready.
~o0o~
"They smell like what?" Carlisle asked, confusion written across his face.
"Only one smells like the mutts." Edward stated, glaring at Rosalie, "And I don't like that Rosalie is calling my mate a mutt."
Alice fought off another wave of jealous anger, "You don't know that Edward. You said you couldn't read her mind."
"And that is what makes her mine."
Alice sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose, "What do you want us to do?"
"You can watch them, but don't do it constantly. They might just spend a lot of time in the forests. For all we know." Carlisle said, looking over at Esme, who nodded her agreement.
They all nodded, though Rosalie grumbled, despite the fact that Edward glared at her for it. Jazz and Alice headed out to watch them first, while the others went about their business.
It wasn't hard to find where they were living, as the forest already had their scents in it. They perched themselves in a tree right outside the kitchen window, giving them a perfect view of that and the living room. Three of the four were playing a video game, while the other cooked food.
"I never really feel quite right
And I don't know why, all I know is somethings wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive"
Alice watched in silence as Bella mouthed along to the song she was listening to. She would twirl around and dance along to the song as she cut up some bell peppers. The smell of food made her nose itch and her throat feel full of dirt, but the way she moved in the kitchen was like she'd been born there. After another few songs, she stopped the music and called the others in for dinner. They all made their plates, all filled with a healthy full portion of chips and dip to go with the Fajitas they were having. Each of them had a tall glass of tea to go with and sat at the table eating. They talked about the new school, and how they liked it, while they made comments on how good Bella's cooking was, like it always was.
Alice and Jasper watched as the group finished dinner and went about cleaning up. Dragon put all the food away while Jade washed dishes and Rayn put them were they go. Bella went and curled up on the couch, pulling a laptop closer to her and typing on it. When the others were done, they went back to their game. They spent the next few hours like that, with Bella stopping and reading out loud what she had wrote. The others would give her their thoughts on it and she would make changes as she started typing again.
When they decided it was time for bed. The two vampires hopped down from the tree and headed home. When they were just outside of Edward's mind reading range, Alice froze, a vision coming to her.
Bella was leaning against Alice's yellow Porsche, a book open in her hands. It was a hardback, with the cover being a blood red color. The words were scrawled across the top and bottom. They were both in a different language, but Alice could see that the words on the bottom where Bella's full name.
"Bella!" Alice shouted in the vision, bounding over to the taller woman and into her arms. Bella laughed and hugged the pixie back.
"Hello Pixie." Bella murmured, leaning back with a smile on her face.
"What're you reading?" Alice asked, glancing at the book questioningly.
"Soleil Noir." Bella said, showing Alice the book, "I wrote it a few years back."
Alice nodded as they moved to get into the Porsche, "Why are you reading it now?"
"It helps to read my old stories when I have a writers block. Here," Bella said, buckling herself in before handing the book over to the pixie like vampire, "Read it and tell me what you think."
Alice nodded and place the book in her bag before pulling out of the parking lot.
"What did you see Ali?" Jasper whispered,
Alice came back to reality and shook her head, "I'm not really sure. But I do know that me and Bella will at least be friends..." She sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose, "Please don't let Edward know about this. I don't want to hear him bitch and moan." Alice said, looking up at Jasper pleadingly.
"Of course not, Darlin'." He said, smiling, "He's becoming more of a drama queen though, isn't he?"
Alice laughed, nodding her head as they finished walking home. They entered the house and was immediately asked a lot of questions about what the group had been doing. Edward was only really concerned with what Bella had been doing in the span of time they had been watching. He even called the next stake out on them. Alice hid her annoyance of his instants and headed to her room to hide away and draw.
~o0o~
"No!" Bella screamed, jolting up in bed. Sweat dripped down her face, off her chin and landed on her blanket. Her eyes had a crazy look to them as she looked around the room. A few seconds later, the door was thrown open and Dragon was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Isabella?" Dragon murmured softly, reaching out to stroke her leaders cheek gently.
"You- Oh God- Alexis!" Bella whimpered, reaching out and pulling Dragon into her arms. She held onto her tightly, crying into her neck.
"Shh, Isa. It's alright. We're both alive, both safe." Dragon whispered, rubbing Bella's back. She used the old nickname she had called the brunette when she was a child in hopes to calm her down.
"B-but... You almost..." Bella muttered, sounding broken,
"But I didn't. You saved me." Dragon stated, "It's ok Isa. It's all in the past now."
Bella took deep breathes and pulled back, the tears had dried, and her eyes didn't look so crazy now. She smiled gratefully, "Thank you Dragon. I needed to hear that."
"Anytime, Isa. Now try and get some more sleep. Do you need me to get your medication?" Dragon asked.
Bella shook her head. She knew that Dragon was really asking, 'Did you put your shield up? Will you this time?' but she could smell the vampire watching them, and knew they had to be careful. She laid back down and rolled over so she could curl against her friend.
"No, I'll be fine. Thank you." She murmured. Though Dragon could hear what she really meant, 'I'll put my shield up this time, promise.'
Dragon nodded with a smile, "I'll see you in the morning Isa." She said softly, getting up and going back to her room.
Bella laid there, staring at the door in silence for a few minutes before rolling onto her back and going to sleep, being sure to put her mental Shield up this time to block the dreams of her friends.
~o0o~
Edward sat watching Isabella, wondering idly to himself what had happened in Dragon's past to make Isabella cry like that. He wasn't sure, but he would try and find out what. He was sure that Isabella was his mate, and he would do whatever it took to make her his.
Even if it meant invading her space to get to her.
He turned and went back home, spending the rest of the night playing his piano in his room.
~o0o~
Jade sat on her bed, staring at the picture she had taken on her phone. She hadn't been able to sleep, and she had nearly jumped when she heard Bella screaming. She would have gone running, if she hadn't heard Dragon getting up first. She'd spent the last two hours looking at her phone, debating what she should do; with a sigh, though, she just set the phone down on her night stand, and laid down. She ended up rolling around for a few minutes before she could fall into a dreamless sleep.
As the light on her phone went dead, the picture she had taken of Angela went black.
~o0o~
It took Dragon several minutes before she could go back to sleep, her worry for her friend eating away at her. The only thing she was grateful for was that the screaming hadn't waken Rayn up. She could be rather cranky in the mornings if she didn't get a certain amount of sleep. None of the three of them wanted to deal with a cranky, and slightly snarky, Rayn in the morning; it would just leave them all rather bitchie when they got to school.
A/N: I do not own any of the four songs that I typed in this chapter. The first was a country song, the second two were from video games (At least, that's where I first heard them from) and the last one was from an Anime.
Hope you Enjoyed! ^^
