Chapter 2: Worlds Collide
Bella's Point of View
There was a knock at the door and I went to go answer it. I opened the door to reveal my biggest pain in the ass;
"Hello beautiful." Damon said smiling.
"What do you want?" I asked annoyed. The last time I had seen him was a week ago after he tried to bang Matt's mom.
"What no 'hi Damon how have you been?' or 'Damon I was so worried about you'" he asked looking hurt as he walked into the house.
"Damon you tried to sleep with Matt, who is basically like a brother to me, mom and you wonder why I'm not being nice. Oh and not to mention not waiting to be asked to come into the house." I said slamming the door shut.
"Bella who is it?" Grandmother asked.
"It's the biggest prick in the world." I said walking into the kitchen with Damon trailing behind me.
"Why hello and who are these beautiful women?" Damon asked glancing at Rosalie, Alice, and Esme.
"They are off limits jackass." I said hopping up to sit on the counter.
"Bella, language." Grandmother said chastising me.
"Sorry, but I call them like I see them." I replied.
"Damon what are you doing here?" my grandmother asked ignoring my last comment.
"Why I came to take Bella to the party tonight; I figured we could have some fun." he said and flashed his fangs at me.
I rolled my eyes and threw him against the wall with my telekinesis, "Damon you don't scare me and how stupid are you to show your fangs in front of complete strangers." I said.
He got his Oh shit look on his face then quickly went back to being an ass, "Well I guess we will have to kill them." he said.
"Who is this douche?" Emmett asked.
"Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, and Edward meet Damon Salvatore. Damon here is one of the vampires my grandmother has told you about. Damon meet the Cullen's" I said.
"Wait the sparkly vampires?" Damon asked. When I nodded he started laughing and I decided now was a good time to drop him, but instead of dropping him on his ass I flipped him and made him land on his head. "What did you do that for?" he asked.
"I was hoping to knock some sense into whatever is in that head of yours." I replied hopping down from the counter. I turned to the Cullen's, "Now like I said there is a party tonight and if you want to go be ready in 30 minutes." I said and went upstairs.
Edward's Point of View
Bella went upstairs to change and we were all still standing in the kitchen with this Damon guy who kept thinking very inappropriate thoughts about Bella.
"What are you staring at sparkle boy?" he asked me.
"Just realizing Bella was right when she called you a prick, but you are much more. You are a womanizing inconsiderate shit." I said.
My family was just as shocked as I was by what I had just said, but it was the truth.
"Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" he asked stalking towards me until Rebecca stood up.
"Damon Salvatore this is my home and I will not allow fighting. Carlisle and his family are my guests and I expect you to act like the gentleman you were raised to be." Rebecca said as she stood between us and Damon.
"Very well Mrs. Swan, but outside of these walls they are fair game." Damon said and left.
"I apologize for him; he has thing for Bella." Rebecca said taking her seat again.
"I can see that and does Bella return the affection?" Carlisle asked.
"I honestly don't know. Damon is a very lost and wounded vampire; Bella wants to help him, but he doesn't want help. Bella and Damon have a tendency to butt heads as you can see." She said gesturing to the wall where Damon had been pinned. There was a huge hole. "Damon has been more and more out of control since he found out his maker Katherine was not in the tomb we opened."
"Yes you told me about that; I still can't believe you opened the tomb." Carlisle said handing her a glass of water.
"Yes well we really didn't have a choice. It's a long story and if I'm right we don't have time for it since Carol Lockwood should be here any minute." she said standing up.
"Kids, why don't you go and accompany Bella to that party?" Esme said.
I gladly agreed; there was no way I would allow that moron to be near Bella alone. Besides I wanted to get to know her more. All of us were shown to our rooms and started to get ready.
Damon's Point of View
That little witch; how dare she use her powers on me? Although I admit it was very hot and I enjoyed it I don't like being upstaged in front of new vampires. I especially didn't like she did it in front of that Edward guy; I knew by the way he watched Bella I had some competition. I didn't mind the competition, but they way they acted while she was making the potion. She seemed to be drawn to him and I didn't like it.
I was going to wait outside my car for her to get ready, but I decided to see which room that Edward fellow was staying and have a heart to heart. Once he was in his room I quietly snuck back into the house and when he came out of the bathroom I was laying on his bed.
"Debussy, Mozart, Beethoven, etc…do you have anything decent." I asked throwing his CDs around.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Well there are a lot of things I want, but on the top of the list is for you to stay away from Bella." I said.
"That's a bunch of bullshit; the top priority for you is finding this Katherine." he replied pulling on his shirt.
"So you're the mind reader." I said sitting up. "Well tell me what am I thinking about now?"
"Very inappropriate things about Bella and I suggest you stop." he said glaring at me.
"Very good, but there are more where those came from." I said.
"Damon I know your mind and I know Bella is just a distraction until you can find Katherine." he said with venom.
"And what is she to you?" I asked.
"I don't know." he replied quietly.
"Well just so you know I'm quite a fierce competitor." I started to say.
He cut me off, "She isn't some pawn in a game." he growled at me.
"To me Edward this is a game and in the end I will win. If you want to make it easy on me and give up I have no problem with that." I said and headed to the window. "See you tonight." I said and jumped out the window and headed to the Falls.
I had found a new distraction that involved Bella still, but would make things more interesting; driving Edward crazy as I took Bella as mine.
Bella's Point of View
I wore my favorite skinny jeans, my double strap knot red halter top, my knee high boots and let my hair down. I walked down to the living room and saw the Cullen's dressed.
"Well I'm glad you guys decided to come." I said. "Ok so do you guys want to just follow me in your cars?"
"Actually would it be alright if I ride with you and the others follow?" Edward asked me.
"Sure that's fine with me." I said and went over to Grandmother, "I love you." I said and hugged her.
"Alright now you be careful and if you do drink tonight Izzie…" she started.
"I know; I'll let Edward drive back." I said. "Come on let's get going." I said and they followed me out to the garage.
I opened it and there sat my baby; a gorgeous 1967 SS Chevy Camaro
"Wow when did you get this?" Rosalie asked.
"It was my dad's car." I said quietly. They all stared at me with sad eyes, but I quickly smiled, "He and I used to spend every Saturday with him tuning it and then we went cruising. Every Saturday I still come out and tune it up; now let's get our party on. Oh I think that ya'll should take it easy on the alcohol since you've never drank before." I said. "If you do decide to drink I need to make sure one of you is the designated driver."
"I will drive." Alice said holding up her hand.
"Alright sounds good." I said and I hopped in my car.
Edward got in and we headed to the Falls.
Edward spoke up after about five minutes of silence, "So is it alright if I ask you what the deal is between you and Damon?"
I laughed, "Damon wants me because I'm different." I started to explain, "He sees me as a challenge since his compulsion doesn't work on me. He has always been like that; everything's a game to him. It wasn't always like that though; he used to be a nice guy, but after Katherine he became the prick he is today."
"Yes well he came to my room today as I was getting ready." Edward said and I almost drove off the road.
"What?" I asked shocked.
"He came into my room and said that you were going to be his and I needed to stay away." Edward explained.
"Edward I don't belong to him or anyone for that matter." I said.
"So you're single." he asked quietly.
"Yes I am single; why you want to take me out?" I asked.
"Yes." he said bluntly.
"Tell you what Edward why don't you get to know me before you jump into asking me out. You come from a different time and you might not like how I am." I said.
"And how are you?" he asked.
"I'm unconventional, crazy, wild, and untamable. I know what I like and if I believe in something I won't back down. I'm fiercely protective of my friends and family and I'm not very good with authority. I'm self-reliant and I don't like being treated like I'm made of glass." I said laughing.
"Yes those are different qualities from the women of my time, but I have assimilated into this day and age." he replied.
"To degree you have, but only enough to barely blend in." I said. "Let's see how you do over the next couple days."
"What do you mean by being treated like you're made of glass?" he asked.
"Every time my parents are mentioned everyone gets these sad little sympathy eyes and I hate it. It's like they look at me expecting to break and I'm not going to; I'm stronger than most people know or give me credit for." I said. We were quiet for a while and I decided to lighten the mood, "So Edward exactly how old are you because you know I don't really go for older guys and I have cut off limit." I said.
"What's the cut off?" he asked me smiling.
"200 years." I said.
He laughed, "Well I'm barely over a hundred so I guess I make the cut." he said. I laughed with him and then he said, "You are very strange Bella Swan."
"I'm one of a kind according to everyone." I said as we pulled up to the Falls.
A/N: So if you can't tell Bella is going to be bringing out the fun side of Edward that none of us ever see. So please review and let me know what you think.
