CH 3
EPOV Baby Doll?
Another day in a personal purgatory. High school, it was nothing but monotonous.
"Those are the Cullens and the Hales," Jessica Stanley voice caught my attention. Already staring at Edward Cullen. Like she stands a chance when he doesn't even notice me. I resisted rolling my eyes as I glance in the direction of the voice. The new girl kept her face turned from me.
"Which is which," she asked using an electronic device, interesting why didn't she speak, is she mute?
"The new girl is asking about us," I informed them.
"What is she thinking?" Emmett asked.
"I'm not sure" I whispered, I was confused, I couldn't read anything from her mind. That has never happened before. They all look at me confused.
How could he not know?
He is a mind reader.
I'm not comfortable with this. I can't seem to read her emotions. It like she can block us?
I can't see her either, Edward.
Their thoughts whispered to me. Jasper and Alice were also concerned to. At least it wasn't just me. But now I was more curious than before. Something was odd about this human.
"Well, the blondes are Jasper and Rosalie Hale. They are twins. The others are Emmett, Edward and Alice Cullen," I can hear Jessica Stanley talking to someone. I tried to look at her, I first notice her long brown hair that looks like it might have hints of red in it. Her face appears heart shaped, but I could not see her eyes. Until, she got up and started heading towards us. She was another vampire, a vegetarian at that. She was beautiful and I feel a pull towards her as she came towards us. She must be brave is she was confident to walk towards us when she would be outnumbered.
I noticed my other sibling eyes widen as the sight as the smell hit them.
Why can't I get any emotions off her? Edward sounded like he couldn't read her thoughts. Hopefully she will be friend not foe Jasper was worried.
I can't see her or us anymore. What is going on? You can't hear can you. Can Jasper? Alice was panicking, I silently communicate to her he couldn't.
I got ready to speak for us as I often did when Carlisle, our father, wasn't present however she didn't look towards me. I found myself disappoint that she focused on only one of us. Unfortunately Rose just might rip the new girls head before she might speak.
The girl turned and looked at Emmett just looking at him as if she was studying him. I couldn't read her mind, but she looked like she was in shock. Emmett, on the other hand, had a series of thoughts. He seems to be confused if he knew her or if she was a ghost.
It can't be. I have to be seeing things. Ed, are ghost real and do they have gold eyes like us.
I wasn't able to answer him before Rosalie blew up.
"Can we help you?" Rosalie snarled. Who the hell is she? Doesn't she realize that he is my husband the little bitch.
"Do I know you?" Emmett asked. Her face fell, she backed away, then turned away and ran out of the cafeteria. Baby Doll? Emmett seemed ready to chase after her; but Rosalie pulled him back down.
"Who was that? How do you know her?" Rose hissed. Emmett's eyes were still trained on the door the girl left from. I have to go after her…but Rosie going to be pissed. How do I explain that is my Baby Doll.
"Why did you call her Baby Doll?" I couldn't help, but frown. Somehow it already irked me that he had a nickname for this girl.
"Baby Doll? What the hell, Emmett," Rosie storms off to her next class, her mind full of hurtful and ticked off thoughts. That bitch better watch her step and stay away from my husband.
Emmett still sat in his seat and was thoroughly confused. His thoughts running ramped. He was trying to decide whether to go after Rose or after the new girl.
What do I do? Go after Rosie since she is pissed and try to explain. Or do I go after her and make sure that really is my baby sister.
That thought caught me off guard. Suddenly it clicked in my own mind.
"Your baby sister?" I whispered softly, looking in the same direction. I vaguely remember Emmett thinking of his sister from time to time. He had always felt guilty about leaving her behind after he was changed. He never talked about her, because he didn't want to make Rose feel bad. But it always bothered him that he left his mute baby sister behind. For the most part I tried to leave him to his private thoughts when he was thinking about her.
"I'm not sure?" He looked me. "What was she thinking?"
"I can't hear her." I shrugged looking perplexed.
"I couldn't get any emotions off her either." Jasper speaks up. I looked at him he looked curious too. If she is indeed Em's sister she probably can be trusted. But I have to wonder about the rest of her coven.
Alice was biting her lip shaking her head. "I can't find her in any visions," she frowned. "What does this mean?" She looked at the rest of us.
"A shield of some sort?" Jasper murmured. Pretty powerful one if she can block all of us.
"We should talk to Carlisle," I informed them.
Emmett was still sitting still trying to figure out what to do.
"First, we should go to class. Emmett, give Rose space. If you go after her now you will just get your head ripped off. After school we will look for a way to approach the new girl," Alice announced getting to her feet. She looked at me a minute having a silent conversation. I'm not sure, but she might be in your next class. There is this void next to you. Maybe you can get her to talk or come over later. I nodded and walked off.
I entered my Biology class and immediately sit down and wait. I made sure the place next to me was available, in case the new girl was in my class. I watched as she entered right before the bell and hands a slip over to the teacher.
"New student right, Isabella McCarty." She pointed to something on the slip. "You can take the seat over there by Mr. Cullen." She froze. She turned and seemed relieved to see me. Apparently she wasn't looking forward to seeing Emmett. I watched her as she sat, she was doing her best not to look at me.
"Class we have a new student with us. Her name is Bella McCarty." The teacher introduced the new girl. McCarty? That was Emmett's human last name. So this was his sister after all. Since she was mute so I knew she wouldn't be able to talk inconspicuously. I decided to write her a note: You're Emmett's baby sister aren't you?She looked at the paper and she bit her lip. Her eyes grow sad, but she would only look ahead. So I tried again. Thought she didn't answer me it was obviously a yes.
He misses you. He wasn't sure at first. In fact, he thought he was seeing a ghost. She ignored me again and I let out a sigh. She looked at me and I give her a small smile trying to be friendly. She still seems to be sad though and hesitant, she was obviously hurt. I wanted nothing more, but to make her smile. I didn't like the fact that she seems so upset. Why was I feeling this way, I barely knew her?
Finally she wrote something quickly. If he missed me so much; why did he never come back for me? Seems to me he is happy with his new family. She shoved the paper at me just as the bell rings. My dead heart broke at her words. She thinks Emmett has abandoned her. I raced after her before she got away.
"Bella wait!" I grabbed her arm and instantly feel a spark. That can't be what I think it was right? She seemed surprised too. I quickly spoke to her before she ran again.
"Emmett was beside himself after you left the cafeteria. Give him a chance to explain what happened, please?" I spoke very softly, so no one can hear me. She looked into my eyes and shrugged. "Wait for us after school, please?" again she shrugged and then she took off. It took everything in me not to run after her again. I watched her for a moment before heading to my Spanish class.
Emmett was already there acting unusually unhappy and nervous. The kids around him gave him side glances. He glanced at me when I walked in. Did you catch the new girl's name? He was looking at me nearly begging.
"She was in my last class. Her name is Isabella or Bella McCarty." I whispered softly.
His eyes lit up at the confirmation. My Baby Doll. My baby sister for real. I nodded.
Did you talk to her? Again, I nodded. His eyes beseeched me. I handed over the note from Biology. His eyes fell and he looked sad again. I should have gone back for her. She thinks I left her. She doesn't look like she aged much since I left her.
"Em, you couldn't have gone back right away. You might have killed her." I reminded him. He balled the paper and tossed it into his book bag.
You or Carlisle or Rosie could have gotten her. She obviously needed me and I let her down.
"Carlisle wouldn't have changed her if she was well though." I reminded him.
Is she alone? Does she have a family? I shrugged not knowing.
"Look I asked her to wait after school, so you can explain," his eyes grew hopeful. I just hope she can forgive me, for leaving her for over 70yrs. I reached over to give him a patted on the shoulder. He watched the clock for the remainder of the period.
When the bell rang Emmett was out of his seat and out the door. I followed quickly behind him. We spotted Bella walking in the parking lot. Michael Newton and Tyler Crowley were following behind her discussing openly about who was going to get with her first and other inappropriate things. Are they stupid, didn't they realize she could hear them? Bella's face looked annoyed and angry. But not as livid as Emmett, I quickly grabbed his arm. Out of nowhere Jasper appeared grabbing the other arm.
"Who do the two of think you are? Get the hell away from her." Emmett bellowed causing both boys to jump. Why is Emmett so ticked? I get that they are being jerks, but why is he getting involved. And why are you so pissed. Jasper was confused at what prompted his reaction. I didn't answer him, but glared at the boys myself. Their thoughts were still filthy. I was tempted to let Emmett go.
"Mike and Tyler, you idiots, just because she is mute doesn't mean she can't hear you," I snarled. Both boys pale then turned bright red. They looked at Bella who looked a cross of being mad and not impressed.
"Apologize to her," Emmett growled. Both boys shake, clearly frightened. I feel calming waves from Jasper. Bella quickly glanced at Jasper and then back at the boys.
I think she realizes what I did? Jasper became concerned.
"Sorry," both boys squeaked in high pitched voices and ran off to their cars.
Emmett and Bella stared at each other for a moment. Jasper and I let him go since he had calmed down. Here's my chance. Emmett started to open his mouth. Before he could speak, Rose was in Bella's face.
"I don't know who you think you are, but get away from my family and my husband," She hissed at her. When is this girl going to get it? She isn't wanted. Bella's face flinched and she spun around and jumped on bike and took off. I glanced around to see if any of the humans noticed. Some watched her speed off, wondering if Chief Swan would pull her over, but that was it.
"Baby Doll, wait! Rosie, she's my baby sister." Emmett cried. Rose's mouth dropped open in shock. What have I done? I didn't know it could be possible.
"Everyone, get in the car," I told them. We piled into my Volvo and take off after Bella's bike.
"What the hell is she doing on a bike? She's going to get herself hurt." Emmett was looking worried.
"Umm, Em, she's a vampire; she will be okay." Jasper told him. At that moment Bella glanced behind, sees us and sped up.
"Shit, she's pissed." Emmett looked upset.
"Emmett, what do you mean your sister?" Jasper asked. I wasn't aware he had a sister. Well, besides Alice.
"My human sister, Bella or Baby Doll, as I called her. Before I was changed I was taking care of her. She's mute and they wanted to put her into an institution. When I was changed she got left behind. All by herself, for over 70yrs." His voice came out broken.
"Emmett, I am so sorry. I didn't know she was your sister. I never would've expected her to be a vampire too." Rose said quietly.
"I know you didn't Rosie. But right now I want my sister back. I can't let her leave again, especially like this," Emmett answered.
Bella turned off the road onto a closed road. We all watched as she jumped the missing bridge and I had to break since the Volvo would never make it. She was already gone before we could get out of the car.
I looked at Alice. She shook her head. She's long gone. I can't be the one to tell him.
"I don't think we are going to catch her." I said quietly. Emmett pounded my dashboard causing a dent. Normally, I would have bitten his head off for it, but I didn't have the heart too.
I'll fix, I promise. This mess is my fault. Rose leaned forward over the seat to grab Emmett's hand. The poor guy actually starts to dry sob placing his head into his free hand. "Em, we will find her. We can get her back and explain what happened." Rose tried to sooth him, I felt Jasper try to calm the car.
"We will all help." Alice said brightly. "She still has to go to school with us and Forks isn't that big. She's not going to be hard to find. Besides maybe she's not alone. Maybe she has family or mate." I clenched my steering wheel at the thought. I saw Jasper raise an eyebrow and glance at me curiously.
Later that night I knew I had to hunt to get away from all the chaos. Emmett and Rose were searching for Bella on the computer. Jasper was on the phone with a guy who might be able to track her. Alice was trying to get some sort of vision or non-vision, since she couldn't see Bella. Esme and Carlisle were trying to offer their support.
I ran to clear my head from all the thoughts that were going on in the house. I quickly took down an elk. Then I spotted a mountain lion, I pounced taking that kill down quickly.
I then realized I wasn't alone. I turned, about to growl in warning, when I saw Bella's golden doe eyes looking at me. She gave me a shy smile before turning to leave.
"Bella?" I called to her softly and she turned back around. "Can we talk a minute?" She searched her pockets, and she frowned. Then she looked at me, hesitated then she started to sign to me.
Can you understand me? She asked. Thankfully I do. Being the odd person out for so long, I would study things to keep me abridge.
"Yes, I know sign language. I'm sorry about Rosalie. She didn't know you're Emmett's sister. She feels incredibly guilty. They are trying to locate you know through records." I told her.
They are not going to find anything she announced with a smug look. Then she frowned Emmett never talked about me?
I sighed. "You should talk to him about it." I didn't like to talk about others private thoughts to people.
I'm not going where I'm not wanted. Emmett doesn't need me complicating his life. I will just leave. She turned again but I grabbed her by the arm.
"Who says you're not wanted. Emmett has missed you, trust me. I know because I can read minds. When he first woke up all he would think about you. That is all I'm going to tell you; the rest you can get from Emmett. Please, come back with me to the house. Everyone will behave. Emmett has been distraught all afternoon and evening. Well, except for when you were on your bike and then you scared the crap out of him." I smirked at the last part. Bella rolled her eyes and looked at me before agreeing.
Fine. Lead the way. Or do you need to hunt still?
"I'm good. Follow me." I quickly buried the animal carcass then took off running. She followed behind me.
