New York's Public Library
"Home, nowadays, is a place where part of the family waits till the rest of the family brings the car back" ~ Earl Wilson
EPOV
I couldn't help the smile that formed in my lips once she asked me to come with her.
I didn't really think she would since she had not reveal the location of this secret place, I could understand why she didn't want to since it was not only her life on the line but other people too.
Therefore, I had tried the oldest trick on the book, pity, maybe if she felt that for me she would agree to take me with her. I know it was not ok to do these but I needed to be near her because she seems to lessen the pain and replaced it by a sense of peace that I had never felt in my life. It was selfish but I really didn't have it in me to care.
I looked at her, she was still biting her lip and she seem in deep thought, this scary me a little because she still had the time to withdraw from her offer, so I decided to interrupt her "so Bella who are doing this?" she jumped a little in surprise but soon put her attention to me.
"Do you know how to get a car going without a key?" she asked with apologetic eyes and I knew I wasn't going to like what I was about to endure.
I felt myself began to sweat when I saw the needle on Bella's hand, did the peace of mind was really worth it I had to ask myself.
I was sitting on the back seat of a car waiting for Bella to end preparing the sedative she was about to give me. I decided to offer my left arm not wanting her to see the pokes on the right one.
Suddenly I was hit with one of those memories I had stash deep inside of me.
I was sitting in a plastic chair in the offices of the New Age Genetic Lab NAGL for short, waiting for Dr. Evans to come and explain everything to me.
Soon after we arrived, we were directed to his office.
We sat down in comfortable, leather chairs I then took the liberty of looking around the room, the walls were a white color, the floor was covered in dark wood and on the desk in front of me laid a laptop and some pictures that were turned oppose to me so I couldn't really see who appear in them.
I was shaken out of my inspection by the voice of my parents Elizabeth and Edward Senior whom were sitting on my right.
"Ed do you really think this will help?" I heard my mother trying to whisper to my father, but no really doing a good job about it.
"Of course Elizabeth, this Dr. was well endorsed by many colleagues" my father answered not even trying to whisper.
"Good now Edward would be capable enough to actually make a name for himself," she said placated and pleased with what my father had just said.
My father said nothing but I knew that he thought that even if I accepted this procedure I wouldn't be good enough, that's why I had my mind set on proving him wrong.
Then the door to the office opened and both parents stood up, I follow in their lead. I allow myself to see the man that could very much change my life forever, he was almost as tall as me, he had black raven hair, white skin and his eyes were a striking gray, he also seem to young to be a doctor.
He smiled at them and walked the few steps between us offering his hand for us to shake.
"Hi my name is Derek Evans and you must be the Masens am I right?" he asked and my father nodded.
"Yes this is my wife Elizabeth and" he seem to hesitate when it was time to introduce me and finally decided how to do it "that's Edward" he finish, I knew why he had decided to just give my name, it was because he was ashamed of me as a son.
"Nice to meet you all, please take a seat" he said as he himself went to his leather chair, once we were all sitting and he had glanced at some papers in his desk he look at us and went down to business.
"So I see that you are interested in the new genetics research we have been doing," he said waiting for one us to actually explain to him a bit more of why we were there.
"Yes Dr. Evans we were hoping Edward was a suitable candidate for the trial" my mother voice was the first to be heard.
"Why?" he asked this time looking at me but before I could say a word my father had started speaking.
"We hear that with this new drug the company, especially you, has develop the skills of a human are intensify making them superior to the average one." Dr. Evans nodded.
"Do you realize this procedure it quite expensive?" he asked, it seem that nobody had inform him that money was not a problem for the Masen family.
"Money it's not an issue" the doctor nodded again and then he clap his hands and smile.
"Well how about I steal Edward for a moment so I can take some test to evaluate if he indeed is a candidate" he said getting up, my mother couldn't help but smile at this both her and my father nodding.
"Edward why don't you follow" he said to me as he stand up and began walking away I then got up too and walked behind him. Once we had gotten out of his office and the door was closed the smile in his face dropped.
"Edward now I really want you to tell me why are you doing this?" I was surprise when he asks me this; it took me a few moments before I was able to even form an idea.
"I want to be better, I don't want to blend in I want to shine, to be extraordinary" I said in a lame answer but really not finding anymore words to express my desire for it.
"Why?" he asked again, now I need he could see beyond the front I had been putting.
"Because then maybe my parents would approve of me" I answer honestly, he look at me for a moment and then nodded not saying a thing and started walking the rest of the way to what I could assume were the laboratories was meet with silence.
We stop at a door before he turned to me and spoke to me once more.
"Edward what you are about to see is a possible outcome of what could happen to you if your body is not strong enough to take the substance we had created" he began. "Am not really allow to show this but I need you to not go blind on this since you are really not doing it for you, but I know it would be useless to tell you not to do it because you are still going to" he ended. He looked at me as if he were searching for something I guess he found it because before I knew it he had open the door.
We went inside and I had to bite the inside of my mouth to stop from shrieking like a girl.
There on what seem to be a capsule with a green liquid was what had I assume had been a human but his skin was now a reddish color, his nails were long and black, then I notice that when he exhaled little pores open and let out what seem to be air since bubbles form around it. When the initial shock vanishes I look at the doctor who was looking at me.
"What happen? What is he?" I asked not able to contained my curiosity for any longer.
"We called them rejects, their bodies are not capable of fighting and adjusting the substance that will make them extraordinary and the substance takes over them making them monsters, their abilities as the drug promises are increase but they seem to have no control over their anger and body, they can become quite violent." He finished then his cellphone beeped, he smiled apologetic to me before he answer.
"Hey baby," he said to the person calling as he turned his back to me and began walking to the corner of the room.
"Yes I would be home by then" at this point I decided to ignore his talking and decided to really think if I wanted this, was I about to risk it.
I closed my eyes trying to calm my breathing that had become erratically without me really noticing it until now, then the image of my parents came to me and right now and then I decided that I was going to do this even if it mean that I could turn into that.
Suddenly I was back on the present. My hands were clammy and I could hear the sound of my heart thumping in my ears, I felt even a little dizzy, I didn't even notice that I was hurting the insides of my hands for the force with which I was clenching my fists, until Bella put her hand on mine making it relaxed and open.
"Are you sure you want to do this Edward?" she said looking at me with her deep brown orbs making me feel better instantly. I saw that she was worried for me and a part of me was telling me how could I not trust a person that emanated those kinds of feelings, that's what made me decided that I needed to do everything to go with her.
"Yes Bella now let's get this over with," I said to her trying to smile but thinking that it came more like a grimace.
She took a deep breath as I looked at her wondering how I could ever compare her to the monster that had once been in her place. She applied the syringe and gently brush a cotton drench in alcohol over the red hot point that needle had left once it was gone. I was getting sleepy I took Bella's hand and brought it to my mouth giving it a light kiss I then as gently as possible I return it.
I accommodate myself back on the seat as I felt myself drift of and before I closed my eyes, I took one last look at Bella.
"Goodnight Isabella" I said as I closed my eyes letting myself wander in darkness but even do I was almost gone I was still able to hear her say "Goodnight Edward".

As soon as his eyes were close and I had said my goodnights I immediately made sure none of him or his clothes were outside of the car and shut the door.
I instantly went to the driver's door opening and entering as fast as I could. Once inside I put together the two wires Edward had shown me were the key to getting the car started.
I began driving forward until I got to 5th avenue where I turned left and continue driving the many streets until I got to W 40th street. My senses were a 100% aware of my surroundings trying to hear even the gust of wind or see even the tiniest shadow.
I wasn't taking the risk of getting caught by a reject or even a guy from the NAGL while I had Edward unconscious on the back of the car.
Suddenly we were in front New York's Public Library, I turned the car of and then from my bag I got my phone out and I press 3 for the speed dial, there were not more than three rings when I heard his voice.
"Bella are you ok, we were worry sick since you did come to the meeting point yesterday and we were hoping that you had fallen a little behind and would find us here in no time but then morning came and you didn't show up and" before he could ramble more I stop him.
"Emmett I know, I know that you were worry but I need yours and Jasper's help, am outside of you now where hurry" I finished the call knowing that it was dangerous to go more than three minutes talking because the NAGL could track any cellphone signal in the area.
I waited what seem like forever before I saw the door to the library opened and there stood two men that I consider my brothers. Emmett was really tall and had a very built body it might scare a little but once he smiled and show his dimples you could see that he was a softy at heart. Jasper was on his side, he was equally taller that Emmet but he was slender, he had blue eyes, a moth of blond hair and he was the easiest person to be around since every time you were near him was like a wash of calm overcome you.
They were at my side in seconds and I got out of the car and went to open the back door. I motioned for them to join me and when they did they reacted as I thought they would, Emmett had already move me aside to get Edward out of the car, while Jasper had gone to driver side and had turned the car back on.
Once Emmett had Edward out of the car and secure in his hands I motioned to Jasper to go ahead and he got on the driver's seat while I went to the passenger seat, both of us saw Emmett enter the library and disappearing behind the door, once he was out of sight Jasper began driving.
"What happen B?" he asked once we began to move, I explained everything that had happen to Jasper and once I was done I was waiting for him to say something.
"Do you trust him?" he ask me and I immediately knew that he was referring to Edward, I couldn't help but feel a little protecting towards him, so I said the only words and only proof that I indeed trust him.
"He let me live" and with that Jasper nodded.
Once we were near our destination, Jasper put the car on neutral on got out as did I, we then pushed the car along a pier and once we were near the end with the help of my power I sunk the car in the water without making much noise.
We then proceed to go back to the library so we could hide, it seem luck was on our side tonight because before much time passed we were already back at the library.
We made sure there was no one around before we entered it and closed the door behind us. We quickly made our way to the door that lead to what once was a storage room. When we got there I grabbed an access card from my backpack and slide it in the place the lock should had been, then a keyboard appear from the wall that was beside the door, I quickly press the numbers 137731 and the door open.
We slipped inside quickly and the door after 30 seconds closed itself, we then moved to the space behind some boxes that contained books and Jasper kneel opening a door that led to a staircase to the basement. Once we were completely down it feel good to be home and before I could register it a couple of arms were engulfing me in a tight embrace.
I then look at Alice my pixie friend with purple eyes looking back at me.
"I was so worry about you Bella" I smiled at her reassurance her that I was ok; we then were interrupted by Jasper.
"Bella everyone was to see with their own eyes that you are ok so we better get in there before everything is clammed here" he said, I nodded knowing that he was more than right, we walked to the door that lead to the main area of our shelter.
When we entered, you could see immediately the difference the room actually had light in it and there like a million of sofas so all of us could sit and talked because it also served as a conference room, the walls were painted a creamy color and the air smell like home.
Most of the people that lived in this safe house were already occupying the couches waiting for me. Then suddenly everyone was talking and grabbing directing me into different directions and I was getting wobbly. Then thank God I hear a familiar whistle sound and the room just went quiet.
"People leave her alone sit down shut up and raise your hand if you have something to say" my gorgeous tall, blond, blue eyed friend Rosalie Hale commanded to everyone. I send her a thank you smile that she returned.
After everyone was sitting and Rose was right beside me the questioning began.
"Everyone that has a question can now raise his or her hand," she told them, soon every hand in the room was raise. Rose look around and choose the people she thought were the ones with the most important questions, she then mentioned to Carlisle a handsome doctor that look a lot like Jasper having gold hair and blue eyes but his height was lower than Jasper's and of course their faces' features were not similar.
"Bella who is the young man that came with Emmett not so long ago?" I then remember Edward I had totally forgotten about him with all the excitement of being home and all the people talking and driving me nuts.
I then decided to tell them the whole story ignoring the fact that I was in an area I wasn't supposed to be, it seem that Rose was going to be my savior today because once I had finish my history, she told everyone to leave me alone saying that I needed to really rest.
I went to Carlisle knowing that Emmett probably made him look at Edward.
"Carlisle is Edward ok?" I asked once I reached him.
"Yeah I notice that you sedate him and he is now resting in one of our spare rooms all take you there if you wish" he answer making me feel better.
"Yes please" I told him and we made our way to the hallway that led to the rooms. Rosalie was hot on my tale too, I knew then that she was going to ask me more questions or more like one question and I wouldn't be able to hide the truth from her but decided against saying anything in front of the doctor and she seem to think so too because she didn't say anything.
We were walking and soon Carlisle stop in a door indicated me I could enter. I did and I went to check on Edward, I then turned to look at Carlisle to thank him but it seem he had already left and there was only Rose in the room looking at me with some strange look on her face.
She then notice that I was looking at her and decided to speak now.
"Bella where were you when the reject attack you?" she asked, I decided that maybe I could still play dumb.
"Why do you mean by that Rosie?" I asked her.
"Oh not you are not getting out of this Bella but we both know that we checked for the rejects path on the one you had to follow had none" I exhaled loudly and turned to look at her.
"I was almost at the apartment" then it was her turn to sigh.
"Bella you know that you can risk that much for a memory" suddenly I couldn't help the tears that slipped from my eyes thinking about it.
"It hurts Rose" I said to her as she got to me pulling me into her embrace.
"I know it does honey but you can risk yourself like that" that's all she say letting me vent a little. Once my eyes were dried I let go of her embrace and offer her a teary thank you smile before leaving saying that he had to fill Emmett with everything that had happened since he had stay taking care of Lily hers and Emmett's three months old baby.
I then turned to Edward sitting beside his bed knowing that once he open his eyes he would want a familiar face to receive him or at least that's what if I was in his position would want. I grabbed one of the books that where in the room since every room had some and started reading and before I knew it exhaustion spoke for me making my eyelids heavy, I try to fight it but soon they were closing and I lost the battle with sleep.
A/N hope you like it please review...
