Hey peoples, here is another chapter of Daffodils for you guys. I only own new characters and ideas, I make no money from writing, and all rights go to the rightful owners. So, yeah, enjoy I guess.
"Why do I have to wear a dress again? You know damn well Bella will be wearing her jeans and hoodie, if she hasn't change into sweats." I groaned like a five-year-old.
Alice cursed under her breath, "I forgot to have Edward make her change, dammit. She better not be wearing sweats; I will kill this girl." She whirled out of the room, her flowy dress making her look so elegant.
"What the actual shit though" I narrowed my eyes and shook my head, "Graceful is one thing elegant is another. And I swear I can't do either. I shifted as I looked into the mirror, the paneled yet flowy dress was comfortable and only partially skin tight. Golden snake jewelry adorned my freckled skin, and heels laced by ribbons made my legs look different-in a very good way.
My make-up hadn't changed though; I wasn't big on going all out unless I had to. I walked downstairs, my heels making a delightful noise against the wooden steps.
"Something doesn't feel right." I stopped, a cold chill running down my spine.
"Oh hush." Alice fluttered past me and kept arranging everything, if she would just calm down maybe she could see what I felt.
"You must be Rosalie." I walked toward the goddess like beauty that stood near a human boulder.
"And you must be someone I don't care about." I laughed louder than I intended to.
"True enough, I've been told you're great with cars. Like, the literal best." She raised her brow, obviously very pleased to be getting such high praise. "And I am the literal worst. Is there any way you could at least teach me how to drive one, I am very clueless and I'm just bridging the pathetic side of all of practically everything." I made way too many hand gestures, but I guess she found it amusing.
"While I'm here, sure. Crash one of my babies and I will end your life."
"Note taken. Thank you, your majesty" I made a dramatic gesture of bowing to her and shuffling away as I did.
It wasn't long before Bella arrived, it wasn't long before things went very wrong either.
I was in my full form, making sure no hungry vampires entered the house. Everybody looked more frantic than I had ever seen them, growls and groans filled the crisp night air. Once things had calmed amongst them and they didn't look like they were ready to rip Bella apart I let myself change back. Alice raced forward and helped me up, they had not been so gentle at first. "Carlisle will need to set your ribs." Her voice was so soft, so sad.
"I can do that on my own, don't worry. Just tell Bella I'm sorry, I have to go." It hurt to breathe, let alone walk, which is what I had to do to get back to the motel. I didn't make it too far before collapsing in the woods, I wasn't alone too long though. "Sam, you might as well come help me and not sit in the shadows and wait till I pass out." The crunching of fallen leaves and twigs was a welcomed noise.
"They're nothing but trouble." He said as he picked me up.
"In life there are two roads, one is full of adventure and knowledge and the other has comfort and safety; not something I'm very fond of." I sighed, which only caused more pain. "Just take me to the motel, stalker."
"No. You will be coming to the reservation; you can be watched there while you heal. When you are better we can work on what I mentioned last night."
I groaned, "I don't need to be watched, it's not like I haven't broken ribs before."
"Just be quiet, child."
"Shut your face old man, at least I'll stay young for a long time. It's worked thus far" I joked, "I mean, ever since I started to live with them that is."
"How long ago was that?"
"Only two years ago, I'm not that old. Yet, I suppose. One day we'll all age, even it's in the moments of our death."
"I see"
"It also helps to be injected with their venom, if it bonds with you right then you're immortal."
"If?"
"It could also make your insides turn to liquid and dissolve all your meat and bones and skin. Not a very pretty process, is sure to end you though. Especially when you're too much of a coward…yeah"
"You took that risk?"
"To be honest it was the reason I had done it. I wasn't over seeing my family killed. I was so young but I don't think that's something you can forget."
"I'm sorry you've had to witness that, no one should have to. We are here." I looked around and sure enough we were at the reservation, this was my second time here but only my first in human form. "How are you feeling Andromeda?"
"God, please just call me Andy. My name sounds so regal coming out of your mouth, so weird. And I'm fine, it's starting to heal though."
"Alright Andy, I'm going to put you down. Set them as quickly as you can, please do not scream."
"I will try my best." Jesus fuck this is going to hurt.
I laid in a spare bed, my ribs were set and I was healing. Now all I had to do was sleep, which was obviously going to be impossible. Sam came and checked on me every hour on the hour, meeting my golden eyes each time. After the witching hour passed I finally fell into a semi peaceful sleep.
