Chapter 2
I finally arrived at Charlie's - I mean my new home. After three trips to the car Charlie and I had everything of mine in my room. Which were 10 suitcases of clothes. Charlie's house was beautiful but tiny compared to my mother's and Phil's mansion. I walked up to my room, we had two staircases. The first level lead to Charlie's master bedroom and bathroom. The second stair case lead to my room. The hallway was cut off by my room's door. I opened the door and gasped. The same angle was in my room on my bed. Holy crow! Will these visits never end?
"Hello Isabella." She said.
"Since you know my name can I know yours?" I asked sarcastically. I had a right to know, didn't I? I wonder what she wanted. She never stopped by for just the hell of it. It was always business.
"Yes I guess you can. I'm Kerri Anne. I'm here to go over the basics and I have important news." She said seriously. This was her third visit in the past two years.
"Okay Kerri Anne. Shoot." I said.
"Ummm... Shoot what?" She asked confused. I chuckled and her 'teen' ignorance.
"Its teen language for tell me." I giggled.
"Oh. Ha-ha. Well let's start with the basics. Okay, you know that you're a guardian angle and you have to protect a 'chosen one' to fulfill their destiny. Right?"
I was in Shock. No matter how many times I tell myself this I still want to deny it. I was at loss of words so I simply nodded.
"Good. Now the news. You will meet your charge sometime this week-" She started.
"How will I know it is my charge?" I interrupted.
"If you let me finish I could tell you. You will feel a tingle in your body and have a urge to protect them with your whole life. This is all just by meeting them. I also am here to inform you that you have gained other powers. This is abnormal for you. No other guardian angle has more then two powers and you had three to start with, now you have five extra. Super Strength, reflexives and hearing. You can kill in the time of need and protection .But you can't kill humans." She spoke fatly.
"Do you know what this means?" I asked.
"Not exactly. The only thing I know is that something big and bad is going to happen with your first charge." She said. Great, just peachy.
"Is there anything else?" I asked her venomously. I don't know why I cant be normal, stupid curse, stupid everything.
"Yes. You have a personal trainer. To teach you how to fight and use your powers. His name is Dimitri. Oh and Vampires are living in Forks and go to your high school." She added. "Oh don't worry. They don't feed off humans. They go by the name of Cullen." With that she was floating away. Leaving me shocked and confused. I looked at the clock. It read 8:50. I began to think. Kerri Anne said I had inhuman senses. Let's test them out. I began to unpack at an inhuman pace. I looked back at the clock. It was 9. Wow. Ten minutes of unpacking when it would have token at least a hour. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my IPod. It started playing 'Only hope' by Mandy Moore. It was one of my favorite songs. It was calm and peaceful. (AN: It relly is a good song)
There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.
Why Am I so distant? I wondered.
So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
Why didn't my mother tell me she loved me?
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.
How can I love and hate her at the same time?
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.
Why can't I be a normal?
I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.
So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.
Then I understood. The answer isn't important. I'm helping the world be a better place.
hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oooooh.
I woke up feeling at ease. I would have to start school tomorrow. I put on some white juicy sweatpants a tank top and a jacket. I decided to go for a jog. I got my IPod. It instantly played 'Ohio is for lovers' by Hawthorne Heights.
Hey there,
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all.
Where you are and how you feel.
With these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on. (and on and on and on...)
Slow things down or speed them up.
Not enough or way too much. (and on and on and on...)
How are you when I'm gone?
I want today to be different.
Chorus:
And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it on my own.)
Because my heart is in Ohio.
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
Spare me just three last words.
"I love you" is all she heard.
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever.
x2
I want to be a new Bella.
Chorus:
And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it on my own.)
Because my heart is in Ohio.
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die.
Not the one people think are weird.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
(YOU...KILL...ME...WELL)
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
My final breath is gone
So I can fall asleep tonight
I want people to like me. I want to fit in.
Chorus:
And I can't make it on my own.
(And I can't make it on my own.)
Because my heart is in Ohio.
So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
(Cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight, or die.
Because you kill me.
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
(YOU...KILL...ME...WELL)
You know you do, you kill me well.
You like it too, and I can tell.
You never stop until my final breath is gone.
Holy Shit. I'm going so fast. Everything is such a blur. I looked around and spotted a small figure. What? I'm in the middle of a forest. I slowly approached the figure. To my surprise I could see it was tremble and sobbing in pain. When I got closer I gasped. The trembling figure was a tiny broken heart girl lying on a dead mans chest. She looked no older than 7 years old. When she turned around when she heard my gasp.
"LEAVE US ALONE!" She screamed. She began shaken violently. I felt a tingle in my hands. Ughh. Damn hands are asleep. Then the song 'Your Guardian Angel' Started playing.
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven-
I paused it. Wait this is a sign. OMG! She is my Charge. I rushed to her and put my arms around her.
"Shh. It's okay. I'm here. What's your name?" I asked, stoking her hair.
"Alexander. Who are you?" She asked. She was calming down under my touch.
"I'm your guardian angel." I whispered.
"You're my what?" Alexandra asked. I felt pity for her. This must be her father.
"I'll tell you when I get you home its not-" I stopped. I heard a twig snap. Whatever made the sound was moving fast. Fast and coming to us. I felt my instincts take over and I crouched down in front of her.
"WH-what are you doing?" She asked, scared of my stiff position.
"Someone. Something is coming. Stay behind me and listen. Got it." I said. I would protect this little girl to my death if it was called for. I had this power over me to get her safe. I can't explain it, I just needed her to be safe, if she died it felt like I would die with her. I heard her say okay. Two figures walked out of the trees.
I heard Alexander gasp and say "He...He killed m-my da-d-dad." Okay now they will pay. First stepped out a man with long ponytail. He had a perfect chest and arms. He was beautiful. The woman was more catlike. She had fire red hair.
"Looks like this human girl thinks she can protect the little one." His lips were moving so fast Alexander didn't notice he said anything. I took my chances. I thought of how I wanted him to burn. And I held up my pale hand and fire exploded from it. I heard his screams and saw his body running around. I was sure he wouldn't make it, so I picked Alex up and ran. The red head didn't even follow me, she was too frantic. We arrived at my house in minutes.
I flew up to my room and sat her on the bed. I could faintly hear her heart beat.
"What are you?" She whispered calmly.
"I'm an angle. And I have to protect you." I said.
"Is there anything Else you can do? You can start fires? Inhuman senses? Anything else I should know about?" She must think she is dreaming and this is all a nightmare. Poor Alex.
"Alex, I want you to know you don't need to fear me. I'm here to protect you. I don't know what from or what for but I'm here and whatever it is we will face together. I do have two more powers. If I look someone in the eyes I can see how they die. And I control things with my mind." I said. She seemed to be concentrating on my speech.
"Bella, I feel safe with you. Am I staying with you? I have no one else."
"Yes. The safest place is for you to be here. Are you from Forks?"
"No. Alaska. I don't know how I got to Forks."
"Well My father is a policeman and he can get you signed up for school. And your school is right across from mine."
"Thank you." She rushed over and gave me a tight squeeze.
"How about a hot shower?" She nodded and I got her a t shirt and underwear of mine while her clothes were washed. I went downstairs to talk with Charlie. He agreed for her to stay here. And called the elementary school.
APOV (alex)
Bella was so nice and beautiful. I felt safe for once. I blocked the horrible events. I knew my daddy was killed by something 10x a bodybuilder's strength. He twisted his finger and cracked my father's skull.
I got out of the shower and walked out. My clothes were done and Bells was jumping up and down.
"Shopping! You start school tomorrow. And when school is over you walk across the road to the High school and wait by my car, you only get out five minutes before me."
"Ugh. Shopping. Gross!!" I sighed.
