A/N: Figured I should at least put up a chapter that actually had something to do with Twilight. Anya and Adrian spend most of their time here anyway's. And for anyone who's wondering, yes Anya is a real person and Adrian is me, but Adrian is a me from sixth grade so we're pretty different from each other now.
Chapter Two: Piano's and Fruit Bars
I was kinda getting used to the idea of a magical vortex that could pop out of nowhere at the most inconvenient times, following me and Anya around. You would to I betch'a. So now Anya and I were just sitting watching the stars, and running our hands over the wall occasionally exchanging arbitrary comments.
"It must've hurt sliding on you're knees on that hard cobblestone," Anya told me.
I shrugged and lifted my pant leg.
My knees were skinned up pretty bad. They were an angry pink, and a weensy bit bloody, but other than that there wasn't that much to say about my sliding experience. Other than it was heroic, cool, that I've been through worse… I know it sounds like I'm trying to paint myself as a hero. I'm not! I'm just stating what is true, and giving myself the praise that was rightfully mine.
Alright so I'm not the most modest person in the world, but if I weren't modest I wouldn't be me, and if I weren't me than we wouldn't have a story…speaking of which…
Anya'd be getting some fame and glory too if she hadn't TRIPPED OVER GIMLI! I mean come on! Sliding on your knees and taking the Book from Elrond was much more heroic. I could just imagine myself standing akimbo with a flag flying in the wind behind—(Okay Anya just hit me again and yelled at me to get on with the story. Sorry, jeez.)
"It didn't hurt while I was actually doing the sliding, but now it kinda stings a bit." I shrugged again.
Anya nodded absent mindedly. "You know, Gimli's actually a pretty soft laaaaaaaaaaan…!" She was cut off by the vortex opening up again.
Not wanting to find out where we were gonna end up next we flipped over onto our stomachs clawing at nothing trying to pull ourselves up, the walls were still like silk but, unlike silk, it refused to gather.
Anya spun around on her stomach and fell out face first. I fell out at the same time my spine facing the floor.
I'm dead for sure. I thought.
There was the crack of wood under me and I saw nothing more after that.
Jasper, Carlisle, Emmett and Alice Cullen heard a scream coming from the direction of their house. The Cullen's exchanged a quizzical glance before Emmett ran on ahead.
"C'mon!" Emmett called back. The four Cullen's raced home in time to see a giant hole open up in the ceiling, and two girls fall out of it.
They hit the grand piano and crushed it to splinters. But they didn't stop there. They bounced off the debris and crashed through the side of the house that was all glass, leaving a large hole right there.
Carlisle and Jasper raced over to the two girls.
One of them—with orange hair—seemed to be passed out already, the other—with black hair—said "Ow," then fell unconscious.
Carlisle inspected them making sure they were still alive while the others stared at the wreckage scene.
"I'm not gonna be here when Edward gets home," Jasper said looking at Edward's piano.
"Didn't see that coming," Alice commented.
Everyone stopped what they were doing so they could stare at her.
"What?"
I woke up unable to move.
It felt as if my arms were lead, and my legs were just not there. Also there was a very uncomfortable sensation on my face. It was like someone had pulled the skin back together and it was tingling like I had pins and needles on my face.
My eyes opened and there was a figure above me. It took a moment for my eyes to readjust to the bright lighting that was behind the figure but then I realized who it was.
"Aw, jeez," I croaked. Or at least I tried to. It came out sounding more like um… like, "Ay, eez." Or whatever.
I coughed and groaned, trying to pull myself up. A cool hand on my shoulder stopped me.
"Don't even try it," warned Carlisle Cullen.
"Lord, give us a break," I groaned.
Now just in case you are wondering what I'm referring to, I'm referring to the fact that the vortex may get us out of trouble in the nick of time, but it always seemed to drop us where we least wanted to be.
Anya was beside me somewhere. I knew this because she said- probably in her sleep – "Gimli get outta my way…" *snore* (I think my arm is permanently bruised. Anya is now insisting that she doesn't snore.).
"What happened?" I asked him.
"In two words, you fell."
"Not the falling part. There was pain. Like really bad pain."
"You fell from the second story?" Carlisle offered having no idea where I was going.
"I can't feel my legs." Anya said, waking up.
I ignored Carlisle's warning and stood up.
It felt like I was standing on jello, or had just gotten of a really, really long plane ride. I began to waddle around, like a penguin, and Carlisle just watched me amused.
Abruptly Anya sprang up. I mean literally sprang. She flew off the table three feet into the air, and landed on her feet.
"WHERE'S THE BOOK!" she yelled.
We bolted downstairs.
There was Jasper, Emmett, and Alice, sitting in the living room.
With the dreaded book.
"Ah, they awake," Jasper said.
We ignored him and went over to Emmett who was examining the book. Thankfully, he hadn't opened it yet.
"Emmett, give us the book back," I demanded.
Emmett stared at me. "How do you know my name?"
"Don't ask stupid questions unless you want stupid answers, now give us the book!" I snapped.
Just then the front door opened, and Jasper edged for the kitchen entrance. In waltzed Edward and Bella their arms full of textbooks.
When Edward saw the devastation area he gasped and dropped the books on his foot.
Edward ran over to the broken piano. "!" He cried reaching towards it.
He looked at us. Since we were the only two in the room that he didn't know he suspected something. Apparently he read someone's mind because then he cried at us:
"WHY DID YOU KILL MY PIANO!"
At the same time Anya and I said, "Question mark…" I drew one in the air.
"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANT TO ME!" he continued.
"Well," Anya began, "if you hum a few bars I can give it a shot."
Silence.
"Aw, c'mon," Anya said.
Alice finally seemed to see the scene in front of her and she got up and walked to the back of the table. At the time it seemed pretty random, but now I'm very thankful she did it.
Emmett was so busy looking at Edward, Anya was able to snatch the Book from him. "ADRIAN, CATCH!" she shouted.
I ran in a direction just as Anya threw it.
The pages flew apart as it spun through the air.
I ran into the table before I could catch the book.
Now I knew why Alice had gone to stand by the table. I toppled over it knocking it to the ground and breaking it through the middle. Alice's strong rock hard arms caught me and took all the breath I had and threw it out the door!
"NO!" Anya was screaming.
The Book landed on Edward's lap.
Edward looked down and read something off the page, "I do NOT smell like that!" Edward cried. He examined the page more closely. "Who's Legolas?" Edward asked.
"Ugh," I replied from Alice's hands. I was just a little dazed.
"Hmm," Jasper thought. "Isn't he that dwarf from Lord of the Rings?"
That woke me up.
Anya and I ran right up in Jasper's face.
"HE'S AN ELF!"
Jasper put his hands on our shoulders. "Calm down."
"ELF!" We cried, still red with anger.
"They're immune." He reported.
We continued to breathe fire at him.
He leaned back. "Their anger is giving off really bad vibes man," he said.
We spun around anger gone now paying attention to our stomachs which were both uncomfortably empty.
"Do you have any fruit bars?" Anya asked.
"Why would we have fruit bars?" Rosalie asked. I just now realized she was in the room.
"Yeah we're vamp-" Emmett began, but Alice punched him.
"Oh, don't worry we know you're vampires." I said. "And as to why you'd have fruit bars, well, you have to keep up the human charade."
We walked into the kitchen and looked into the pantry.
"FRUIT BARS!" Anya yelled.
We walked back into the living room stuffing our faces full of the yummy fruit filled granola bars.
Carlisle walked downstairs. "You bounce back fast," he said, noting the broken table.
"Yeah we tend to do that." I said.
The vortex opened up.
"Well hate to leave you vamps but that's our ride." Anya took the Book from Edward and walked through the portal.
I looked around.
"Sorry about the table."
And I was gone.
