Hey! Here's the second chapter of The New Girl. I think this is going to be a pretty short fanfic. I'm so bad at this. I just get a ton of ideas and write them down without thinking of a plot so basically; I'm just making it up as I go along, lol. It's pretty bad… Anyways enjoy!
Chapter 2: Silence
Where was Edward? I thought to myself as fifth teen minutes had past and he had still not returned. I was about to check on him when he burst through the screen door. His eyes were full of disgust and anguish.
"Bella!" she sighed in relief, pulling me very close to him and hugging me. I smiled a nervous smile, not sure how to react.
"Not that I don't mind this but what's wrong Edward?" I asked.
"We're leaving," he said sternly, pulling, no dragging me towards the door.
"Why?" I asked bewildered. What had happened?
"Oh there's no need for you to leave Edward. Stay. As a matter of fact we should be going, we were all going to go hunting," Blaire said smiling. Edward cursed under his breath and had suddenly stopped pulling me towards the door.
"Oh, you're leaving so soon?" I asked politely.
"Yes, we haven't hunted for days and the thirst is starting to get pretty bad so we must be off. Anyways it was so lovely meeting you all," Blaire said.
The rest of the Denali clan all said their goodbyes and soon we were all alone again.
"Bella listen to me. I don't like Blaire and I don't want her coming over here again," Edward said sternly, his eyes were burning with an emotion that I could not read.
"What? But she's so nice. What's wrong?"
"She's demanding," he said, his eyes searching my face as if waiting for something to sink in. It didn't.
"What do you mean demanding? And just because of that you're going to run away in hiding?"
"Bella, she's dangerous she has this-," he began.
"Yes, this what?"
"I just don't trust her. I can't read her mind, it makes her dangerous," he mumbled.
"Edward, you can't go around distrusting people just because you can't read their mind. Think about how it must be for the rest of us. And look at me! You can't read my mind, does that make me dangerous?" I said in an attempt to flirt.
He sighed heavily and then smiled.
"Yes it does," he replied and kissed my forehead, making my breathing stagger. He smiled crookedly at me before pulling me closer to him and burying his face into my hair, leaving trails of fiery kisses. "You know I love you right Bella?"
I looked into his eyes, still trying to see what was wrong.
"Yes without doubt," I answered. "And you better know how much I love you," I said sternly.
"Yes I know, love," he said, pushing a strand of hair out of my face.
Then, ever so faintly I thought I heard him mumble, "I just still can't believe that I deserve you."

School was going to be an absolute nightmare. Blaire. The word brought shivers to my spine. I was completely powerless against her. And it really scared me. She could make me do anything she wanted, even hurt Bella. And I couldn't do anything about it. Worst of all she had ordered me so that I could not get out of the situation. Lately, Alice was having trouble seeing her visions for some reason, which made me even more nervous. The reasonable thing for me to do was to send Bella away from me, send my whole family and tell them to just leave and forget about me. And break Bella's heart. But that would be as a last resort. I didn't want to do anything drastic until it was nessasary. For once I actually wanted the classes to drag out because that would mean one less second away from Blaire. But of course, when I wanted them to drag out, they flew past me and before I knew it was Biology. At least Bella was there though, Blaire would at least act nice. Bella was waiting for me by the door and just seeing her face made me forget all about Blaire. We sat down together and Bella started telling me about her day and how she really liked college and was unnessasairly thanking me for making her go, when the monster strutted into the class. She smiled at us and Bella waved her over. If she only knew…
"Hello Bella, hello Edward," She said politely, smiling warmly at me.
"Hey Blaire," Bella said.
"Hi," was all I was giving her. I turned my attention out the window, trying to tune out her voice. She finally stopped when class started, thank god. Mr. Sloan was talking about the heart when I smelt the sweet, dangerous smell of blood. The three of us whirled around to see that Daniel Walters had cut himself on one of the metal pats of the chair. I watched Bella turn green with the smell. Yes, my vampire wife gagged at the smell of blood. She excused herself to the restroom to get he smell out of her nose, leaving me alone with Blaire.
"Aw, your little girlfriend doesn't like blood?" she taunted.
"She's my wife."
"Oh how cute," she laughed.
I shot daggers at her.
"Aw, your so cute when your mad," she smiled, playing with my hair.
"Why can't you just leave me alone Blaire?" I almost pleaded, snatching her hand and shoving it away from me.
"I told you already. I want you, and I won't stop until I have you and get your little wife out of the picture."
"Don't you dare hurt her," I snarled.
"Why not? She's in my way. Besides, it's not like anyone can stop me," she smirked.
"Alice could, she could see it before it happened and take Bella somewhere safe," I bluffed. I knew the truth. Alice could not see anything right now for reasons none of us could explain.
"We both know that that won't happen Eddie," she cooed.
"How do you know?" I demanded.
"Because I've already taken care of Alice, she won't be having anymore visions for a very long time."
Before I could demand more answers from her, Bella walked back into the classroom and class ended. I pulled her as close as possible to me and ran to the car.
"Edward what is going on?"
"We have to get out of here. It's not safe anymore," I rushed, putting her into the car before racing to my side and starting the engine.
"What? Why? What happened?" she asked panicked.
"I can't tell you but we have to leave," I rushed.
"What is going on Edward?" she asked, fear coating her voice.
"Hey guys! Where are you off to in such a rush?" Blaire's voice made my breathing stop and I cursed under my breath.
"I don't know, Edward said that there was some kind of danger," Bella explained to her.
"Danger?" Blaire laughed. "Nonsense. What could possible be dangerous to two clans of powerful vampires?"
"I have no idea which is why I'm a little concerned," Bella told her.
"I'm sure Edward's just joking with you Bella, right Edward? Just tell her that it's a joke," she said with a hint of a smirk. Dam her.
"Yes Bella, I was just joking," I said flatly, refusing to look at either of them.
"Edward, why would you joke about something like that?" she asked bewildered.
"Emmett dared me."
"Oh. Well, why would you listen to Emmett?"
"I don't know," I replied, my tone still flat.
"Oh, well don't do it again, you really scared me. I thought we had another vampire army coming after us," she laughed, trying to lighten the mood. I smiled to humor her.
"Well since there is no emergency, would you like to come over Blaire?" Bella asked. If she only knew!
"I would love to!" she replied getting into the back seat.
I was silent on the ride home while Bella and the monster talked about classes and teachers and god knows what.
When we got home I excused myself with a shower and took longer than necessary to get out. As I pulled back the shower curtain I was petrified in fear. Blaire was standing right in front of me, her greedy eyes taking my exposed chest in. I instantly felt the need for another shower.
"What are you doing in here?" I demanded.
"I came to see you silly!" she said gleefully.
"Well I don't want to see you so get out!" I exclaimed.
"Aw, you don't want me?" she pouted.
"No, now get out," I said slowly and menacingly.
"Are you sure you don't want me?" she asked, putting her fingers on my chest.
"Yes," I said coldly, snatching her fingers away from me.
"Kiss me."
I had to. I made it a quick tiny peck on the cheek.
"No silly, I meant kiss me on the lips."
I complied with another, even shorter peck on her vile lips, instantly wiping my mouth afterwards.
"Ugh, kiss me like you would kiss Bella," she smirked.
Dam, dam, dam!!
My lips touched hers, gently first. Then the kiss became more and more urgent. Passion was flowing from my lips onto her putrid ones. I wanted to vomit, and I was certain I would if I could. Finally I was able to pull away. I was beyond disgusted with myself, I couldn't even look at Blaire.
"You know you're a really good kisser Edward," Blaire remarked, licking her lips.
I didn't answer.
"Anyways, I better get going, Bella will be wondering where I had gone. Don't worry, I won't tell her about us. I'll save that job for you, but not at the moment. Enjoy your time with her Edward because it will soon be just a distant memory."
……………
I couldn't talk to Bella for the rest of the day. Seeing her face only made me feel even worse and reminded me of the monster I was. But then of course it hurt me even more to see the look on her face when I looked away. I took ten more showers that day, in a failed attempt to get rid of the filth I felt on my skin from having Blaire kiss me. I wasn't able to touch Bella anymore either. It felt as if I was tainting her perfection with my betrayal and disgustingness. She was obviously hurt and my heart ached because I didn't know what to do. Oh god, the angel didn't deserve me at all. She deserved someone so much better than me.
I knew that I should tell her to get away from me, and protect herself. Just forget about me and move on but I couldn't. I was too selfish. I wanted her by my side and I knew that I was going to be torture when I finally had to send her away to protect herself. I was incredibly dangerous to her now more than ever. Blaire had set her sights on me and wanted Bella out of the picture. If I didn't make her leave I was sure that Blaire would and when she did, it would be through me. All she had to do to kill Bella was order me to. Bella would not fight back; she loved me far beyond her own good to hurt me and would rather be killed than do so.
……………
The next morning things were quiet again. Bella and I were in the car when she asked, "Edward, what did I do wrong?"
"Nothing Bella," I answered in a soft voice.
"Then why won't you look at me? Or touch me or talk to me?" she pleaded.
I couldn't answer that truthfully without breaking her heart. I was silent for a few moments before saying, "I can't tell you. I'm so sorry Bella. You've done nothing wrong."
"Then why are you treating me like this?"
"Bella, I can't elaborate but I can tell you this. I've suddenly become more dangerous to you than ever. It really would be in your best interests to keep your distance from me," I explained to her, pleading the last part.
"What has happened Edward?"
"I can't tell you," I said in a pained voice. If only I could explain o her what was happening.
"Why not?"
"I can't tell you! I'm so, so sorry and believe me, if I could tell you I would have. Just please don't forget what I told you about me," I pleaded her.
"I won't," she answered in a soft voice. Then she reached over to grab my hand and squeezed it. I brought it to my lips and kissed it softly.

Great, just great. My husband was starting the, 'stay away from me for your own good' crap again. Did he not realize that I could care less about my own safety as long as I was with him? However that wasn't what was on my mind during my morning classes. I was thinking about what had happened that made him dangerous? What was keeping him fro telling me the truth? Was he himself in danger? The thought made me shiver. At least this explained why he had been acting so weird the last couple of days. He was trying to protect me again by distanceing himself from me. I mean, you'd think that once I was industrucible, he would stop treating me as if I were a glass sculpture.
He was silent as always in Biology, sitting next to me but still at the edge of the seat at the edge of the table. The ride home was a little better. We were actually having a real conversation. I noticed that he had been staring at me even more than usual on the way home. Is eyes were very soft and distant as if recalling a pleasant memory. When we got home we went hunting again. During this time Edward seem relieved. His eyes were bright and had a certain excitement to them. We ran fast. The fastest I've ever seen him go, which meant that I had to kick my legs into overdrive to just stay within half a mile of him. When he finally stopped, I was as exhausted as a vampire could possibly be. He turned to me, eyes bright with excitement.
"What are you in the mood for today love?" he asked.
I was happily surprised to see that my Edward was back. I was not sure how long it would last but I decided to savor it while I could.
"I'm up for anything. Why don't we try to find some mountain lion?" I asked, hoping it would keep that sparkle in his eyes. It did. He beamed at me and we ran off into mountains.
………..
When we got back, the sun had set and we were full off of two mountain lions each and splitting a deer. Much to my dismay, Edward's good mood seemed to melt away the closer we got to home. His muscles seemed to tense and his bright golden eyes became hard as ice.
"Edward stop."
He stopped in his tracks and turned back towards me.
"Please Edward, let me help you. What's going on?" I asked desperately. I could tell he was suffering and it was eating me up.
"Bella love, you can't help me, no one can," he explained.
That confirmed my panic. Edward was in danger. The thought rang like a bell in my head, resounding over and over again, loud and clear.
"I can help you! We can get Carlisle and Esme and the whole family and the Denali's and-," I rambled.
"Bella love," Edward said, walking up to me. He put his finger to my lips and I melted. "I'm afraid that no one could help me. I have to fix this myself. I'm just, so scared about hurting you," he looked into my eyes, his eyes were filled with love.
"Oh Edward," I sighed, wrapping my arms around him, pulling me closer to me. "I love you. Don't worry about me; you just take care of yourself. After all, you do have my heart and if anything hurts to you, it hurts me too. Please be safe," I whispered.
"I will for you Bella, I love you," he answered, kissing me gently on the forehead before turning around and walking back towards the house, leaving me alone in the cold Alaskan tundra as I watched him go before following after him as I would forever. I would always follow after him, even if it were till the end of forever, which, I was still hoping we would have.
Well there it is, please review! I think I made Blaire eviler than 'Liz' in the New Cullen (my other story). Tell me what you think!
