Senses
Chapter Two
Disclaimer: Blah blah blah. See the last chapter.
"Come on Ally!" The pixie urged, clutching my hand in an uber tight grip and dragging me up to my room at hyper speed, so I don't get what she was complaining about.
"Why?" I snapped.
We stopped outside my painfully cheerful room and she shoved the door open, pushing me inside and slamming the door tightly. She sat me down on the bed and gave me a once over.
"Okay, so it's cold out today so I'm thinking…..skinny jeans, a cute top and Uggs." She decided. I rolled my eyes as she rummaged in my closet, extracting a pair of super skinny blue jeans, a light pink and soft green plaid tank top, a brown cashmere sweater and brown Ugg boots. She left the room momentarily for me to get dressed. I didn't. "Are you ready yet?" She called in through the door after a minute.
I picked at my nails. "No, not yet." I said back.
She waited five more minutes. "Now?"
"Uh, no!"
Five more minutes passed before she stormed in the door. "Are you ready yet?" She asked before she saw me, sitting on my bed and picking at my nails. "Okay. Either you get dressed by yourself or I get to play Barbie." She warned.
"Alright, but at least leave the room?" I requested.
"Fine." Her eyes bore into mine. After a minute of a staring contest she turned on her heel and left.
I shrugged her off and quickly changed into the outfit she pulled out for me. I tip-toed to the door and pulled it open. She must've been leaning on it because she stumbled backwards before catching her balance and sighed.
"Of all the vampires I've met, you're the clumsiest." I told her, picking at my nails again.
She rolled her eyes and circled me like a half. "Hmm, I like the combo." She informed me, grabbing my hand and pulling me over to the floor length mirror next to my closet. I gazed back at what I saw; Smoldering red eyes, long black hair and a blech outfit that consisted of pink that hurt my eyes, puke green and crap brown on a five foot three girl. "So, whaddya think?" She was obviously waiting to her 'fantastic', 'I love it' and 'Oh my God' thrown around.
"It's not me." I grimaced at my reflection. "On anyone else, like Rosalie, it would be good, but not my style." My aura may pulse black, but she was clearly used to people telling her how much they loved her outfits. I wasn't that evil, despite contrary belief. Her face fell. "You know what, Alice. It's perfect; I was just looking at the reflection of what I was afraid of." I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm glad you like it." She beamed and literally went skipping out of my room.
I sighed and flopped face down on my bed.
"That was…..very kind of you." A voice, I was slowly learning to distinguish their voices. It was either Emmett or Edward and as far I as I was aware I could hear Emmett from downstairs.
"Go away Edward." I demanded. "You to Bella, Jasper." I hissed without looking up. Wait, my mind backtracked, Bella? I could hear her heart beat faster and I caught her scent. In one fluid motion I was crouched to attack, I hissed and let my hunting instincts kick in. I lunged at her, before being knocked backwards by Edward.
"Get out of her Bella." He ordered. Bella didn't hesitate to listen. She high tailed it out of here and I tried to push past Edward and track Bella but Jasper grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall. I snapped my jaws at him, trying to get my pray. Edward quickly thrust my other arm against the wall and I was trapped.
"Emmett!" Edward yelled and within seconds the strongest vampire was there. "Switch with Jasper." He demanded, keeping my arm tight in the wall. Emmett and Jasper exchanged spots and I managed to get away from them for a second before Emmett caught me around the waist and threw me against the bed. I struggled against him but he was stronger.
"Let me go!" I snarled, tearing at his hands.
"Anytime now Jasper." Emmett grunted. Suddenly I felt a huge amount of calm wash over my body and I stopped thrashing against Emmett. He let go of me slowly but kept hovering near my bed. I was breathing heavily and kept my face against my pillow. Edward ditched now that Jasper had it-me, under control, probably to comfort Bella. Meanwhile, Emmett was ranting. "I mean, didn't Carlisle tell you not to go after her? What the hell were you thinking? You could've killed her, not that you would've gotten to her, but the principal! Honest to God." He lectured.
"Emmett, stop." Jasper hissed sharply. "She feels bad enough as it is. She doesn't need your help."
Emmett growled and left the room in ire. Jasper sat down on the edge of my bed and put a tentative hand on my shoulder.
"Don't touch me." I snapped. He removed his hand and sat there for a moment.
"Ally, it wasn't your fault." He told me gently.
"It's not my fault?" I asked, spinning around and sitting up. "I attacked her!"
"It's in our nature." He tried to reason with me not even a second after I finished my sentence.
"No. You hunt animals. I hunt humans."
"I used to pursue humans."
"But you don't now."
He hesitated for a moment before responding. "Carlisle helped me. He's going to be able to help you."
I sniffed and pulled a pillow over my head. He stood up and turned to the door. "Think about what I said." He recommended.
"Jasper?" I whispered feebly, knowing he would hear.
"Yes?" He spun around.
I launched myself into his arms and buried my face in his chest. "Thanks."
His arms wrapped around me and he held me for a minute. "Anytime kid." He let me go and turned out the door.
He was right. He did help. I changed into denim shorts and a tee shirt, grabbing my favorite My Chemical Romance jacket. "Yeah, I get it." I whispered. "Bye Cullens, Hales." I shrunk myself down, opened the passage in my closet and disappeared.
