Bella POV:
"No, Alice. I don't want to go shopping." I said, rolling my eyes at the pixie like girl.
She narrowed her honey gold eyes at me and placed her hand on one hip.
"You plan on wearing what to Charlie's wedding?"
"The blue dress I wore to Rosalie's wedding." I responded, shrugging my shoulders before turning back to my cereal.
"Absolutely not. You have to have something new to wear, Bella. Which means we need to go shopping, now." She whined tugging on my arm like a five year old.
Of course, she was barely even pulling; if she actually tried she'd probably rip my arm from its socket.
"Please, Alice, not today. I just want to.." I felt her tense against my arm.
"Someone's upstairs." She whispered, listening intently.
"Alice, that is insane. Rosalie and Emmett are still on their honey moon, the guys are hunting, and Esme is at the store." But my voice sounded false to my own ears.
I knew she didn't mean them. She meant someone else.
"Is it another vampire?" I asked, as quietly as possible.
She simply shook her head, staring up at the ceiling.
"What should we do?" I asked, frightened by the look on Alice's face.
"You should stay here with Carlisle and Alice." Edward whispered from behind me, his cold hand holding in my scream of shock. I nodded, watching as he and Jasper flew up the stairs.
"Alice, can you see anything?" Carlisle asked, standing in front of me protectively.
"No, I can't." she sounded frustrated, which was odd for her normal bubbly disposition.
The house went silent, agonizingly so, with only my breathing filling it.
A floorboard creaked upstairs and a blood curdling scream sent my hands to my ears in an attempt to block out the noise.
Then all was silent again. Seconds turned into minutes as the silence continued. No sound from above where the love of my life was facing an intruder, and no sound from the kitchen.
Then,
"Carlisle." It was Edward.
Carlisle disappeared at the sound of his name, and Alice took on an even more aggravated look. I understood why. She was used to knowing exactly what was going on, and now she had no idea.
"Welcome to my world." I whispered, earning a glare from the petite girl.
She was about to respond when I saw them.
All three of them were walking down the staircase, their steps slow and measured as they descended. A figure covered in a white sheet walk between them, stumbling occasionally, but never falling.
They reached the living room and the figure sat down.
"Alice, get me a cold washcloth and some clothes from Rosalie's room." Carlisle ordered, his doctor mode kicking in.
"Rosalie won't like that." Edward snapped, looking more bothered than Alice.
"With her height, Rosalie's clothes are our best bet." He responded.
"Carlisle, she's mumbling again." Jasper called, kneeling in front of the figure.
Carlisle joined him in front of the girl, reaching beyond the sheet to touch her forehead.
'I can't take this.' I thought, before slipping as quietly as I could from my perch at the bar and into the living room.
I walked around the arm chair and stood on the other side of the coffee table staring at the girl.
Her dark brown hair was cropped short, shorter than Alice's and it looked matted, like she hadn't washed it in a long time. Her eyes were wide, the silvery gray color an impressive contrast to her black pupils.
Even sitting down, I could tell she was tall, and built like the vampires. Willowy, with strong wiry muscles.
She looked up at me then and spoke,
"Je ne suis pas une expérience scientifique !" She shrieked, her eyes alight with fire.
Carlisle and the others looked confused by her words. Jasper recovered the quickest.
"Non, vous n'êtes pas une expérience scientifique. Nous n'allons pas vous utiliser comme telle." His voice was calming as he spoke to the strange girl. I felt him let loose on his ability and watched as she calmed quickly.
"Who used you as a science experiment?" Carlisle asked gently.
She looked at me and again she spoke.
"Her."
Me: Alright, for starters, I still need those other OC's so PM me! Secondly,
"Non, vous n'êtes pas une expérience scientifique. Nous n'allons pas vous utiliser comme telle." Means no you are not a scientific experiment. We will not use you as such.
Shae: R&R!
