One minute, Demitri is in front of me, and suddenly he is in front of Edward grabbing him by the arm and throwing him across the room. Before I can even register what is happening, Edward is back on his feet charging at Demetri, starting a full on fight.
Crashing against each other, Edward tried to step aside as he was being charged, but Demetri was too quick, grabbing him by the neck and smacking his head into the ground. Trying to kick him off, Edward simply growled at him in frustration. Kicking against his stomach, he makes another attempt to escape, but Demetri just pushes against his harder, causing cracks to form under him. Growing at Edward even louder, he squeezed at his neck harder, causing Edward to whimper.
Pussy, I thought.
Not really worried about Demitri, because I know he will be able to take care of himself, I look towards Alice. A look of shock covers her face, yet she stood frozen. Assuming she was in a vision, I glance at Jasper, and seeing that he is watching me, I give my head a little nudge, silently asking him to come over here.
Realistically, I should have known it wouldn't be that easy, but I guess it was about time she spoke up again, wasn't it?
"Jazz, what are you doing!" screeched Rosalie
What does it look like he's doing?
"What do you think I'm doing?" he replied sarcastically as he continued to walk over to me. Taking his last few steps to get to me, he simply stuck his hands in his pockets, and lifted a brow, probably questioning the amusement that I was currently feeling.
"I was thinking the same thing," I giggled back at him.
"Why are you going to her!" she continued to yell at him.
"He's trying to get away from the stupid people," I snapped at her, "It's highly contagious. Fuck, you're so irritating. I'm sure if it wasn't for you're looks and the fact that you're an easy lay, not even Emmett would put up with you."
"You can't talk to me like that," she cried at me. Turning towards Emmett, she glared at him and started to bitch some more, "Are you really going to just let her say that about me?" When all he did was give her a confused look, she tried it again with Esme and Carslile.
"Is no one going to control her?" she complained to them. "She can't just be allowed to act like that with me!"
"Well I just did!" I snapped at her. "And guess what? I'm going to keep doing it, so quick complaining! That's all you're good at, it's a shame that no one really cares what you say. Do us all a favor and shut the fuck up already!"
"Bella!" Alice gasped at me. Guess she finished her vision, and by the looks of it, she didn't like what she saw. "You can't treat us like this! We are your family, why are you so angry?"
"Gee, Alice" I exclaimed at her. "It could be that you tried to kill me. Or how you were always forcing me into things I didn't want to do. Or that you tried to eat me. Or that you refuse to let me sleep. Or that you tried to KILL ME."
"You're acting like a child!" she snapped at me. "Jasper, why are you staying silent? I thought you liked respectable lady's. She's acting like a vile woman and we cannot have that! It's awful!"
Chuckling at her, I spat at her and said, "What would you know about being a lady Alice? I just see a ten year old boy obsessed with his mother's wardrobe."
Laughing at the screech, I looked at Jasper, "And you slept with that?"
Shrugging at me, he chuckled at me replying "I wasn't planning on staying abstinent. I have needs, I was desperate." Shaking my head at him, I giggled at the stupidity of it all.
Quickly passing a glance back at Demitri to make sure he was alright, which he unsurprisingly was, I started to question Jasper about what was going to happen.
"Now I know that pixie-stick back there was all controlling and what not," I started, "but I really need you to just focus and be straight with me. What the fuck is happening, and what should I do know. Am I just doomed and will die inevitably?"
"Well from what I gathered, Aro and his brothers obviously found out that you, a human, has found out about the secret," he started to explain. "Now normally, they just kill the human, so there's must be a reason for you being alive. Well, you know, besides being Demetri's mate I assume."
"Yeah, I'm still not sure how I feel about that," I muttered. Looking towards the two who were now just growling at each other I told Jasper, "I remember Dickward explaining all of that shit, and I don't know if I feel up for this again. So far he hasn't been annoying, so I guess it'll be fine."
Looking up at him, I take in his relaxed expression. "So are you still going to be acting like a little bitch?"
Giving me an astonished look, I giggled and explained to him, "Oh don't give me that look. I saw you take care of James. There's no way you're like the rest of the Cullen's."
Now chuckling at me, Jasper said, "I guess you aren't as stupid as you used to be." Laughing at my irritated expression, he outright laughed at me, "Come on, you know I'm right! You let Edward push you around. While I'm glad we both got our heads out of our asses, I'm never going to let you live that down."
Rolling my eyes at him, I simply said, "At least I'm not the old dude that was pushed around by tinker bell."
Smirking at each other, he punched my shoulder lightly, and asked in a high pitched voice, "So, like, are we best friends forever or what?"
Laughing at him, I shook my head, "You wish you were cool enough to be my friend."
Looking back at Demetri and the moron again, I feel my mood starting to slip again.
For fuck's sake man, take a hint, I thought. Seriously though, for someone so fucking old, he's acting like a child who lost his toy. Well, I'm probably not that far off to be completely honest.
"She's not yours, she's MINE!" I heard Edward growl.
"I'm not shit to you!" I snapped at him. Walking towards him, I felt all of my anger snap. "Last I checked, YOU abandoned me in the woods. Last I checked, YOU said I wasn't good enough for you. So why the fuck would you care about me now? That's not how love works! You don't just get to leave me, and then later decide that you want me back. So drop the bullshit and tell me what's really going on here!"
"If only you could see inside his mind, love," he spat in disgust. "He's imagining you in disrespectful ways, and you're mine!"
"I'm not a piece of meat you will be fighting over," I told him. "I am no one's. Especially not to you. Stop calling me your love! You don't love me, and you never did. So just drop it already."
"She belongs with me," growled Demitri, "You will not be taking her anywhere."
Shocked that he finally spoke, I ignored the weird feeling in my stomach. Weird flutters filled me, and I felt my face get hot. Feeling a warmth spread all over my body, my heart started to spead up. Ignoring the glance Demetri threw at me, I started to get worried. Am I getting sick? What the fuck?
In the midst of all my thoughts, I didn't notice Alice taking a few steps towards us, until I heard Jasper and Demetri growl. Next thing I knew, I was on the other side of the hall, right besides the three rulers behind Demetri. Jasper lightly besides us, I was a little annoyed that they just moved me so quickly without asking.
How rude.
Like seriously, there's no real threat around here guys.
"Bella, can you just tell them the truth already?" Alice sighed. "Just tell them how you love Edward so we can all go home. You're being dramatic about this whole ordeal and you're being a little-"
"Let me guess," I giggled. Winking towards Rosalie and Alice I said, "I'm being a whiny bitch?"
Stepping around Demetri, but still staying by his side, I started my rant.
"Don't think I forgot why this argument started Alice dear. You tried to kill me, but why I want to know is why?" I asked her. I paused, and sorted through my thoughts before I continued. Will this accomplish anything? Realistically?
"Actually, no. I don't care. Try it again, I dare you," I snapped at her.
Looking towards the kings, I tried getting some answers.
"I understand that I am here for your entertainment, but could we maybe continue this later?" I asked them. "I know I sound like a broken record, but I really do need some rest."
"I understand that Isabella," Aro started. "But these matters need to be attended and sorted out."
"Well can't you guys just lock them up for something?" I snapped at them. "I'm fuckin tired, and we all know a few hours are nothing to you. Go lock them up while I rest and we can continue this tomorrow."
"Normally," Marcu started, "we would attend to these matters immediately, but I guess we can make an exception due to you being kidnapped."
Looking up towards the ceiling, I raise my arms up and say, "There is a God! Finally, someone with some manners!" Looking at the other two, I sarcastically asked, "Is that okay? Or am I celebrating too soon?"
"That is true," mused Aro. "How about this - we give you the night to rest and you can get situated and comfortable. Then, tomorrow morning we continue this and settle it once and for all. The Cullen's, will of course, stay locked up until we figure out if they shall be punished for their crimes. Clearly, we are getting no where with all the arguing. Maybe once everyone calms down we can get somewhere instead of just arguments and fights.
"So what do you say?" he finished, glancing at his brothers.
"That's not a bad idea," agreed Caius. Smirking towards me he said, "Go ahead and follow Demetri, he will show you where you will be sleeping for the night."
Turning towards the Cullen's, he nodded at them, and said, "Jane."
Screams filled the room, and I stood there, staring in wonder at what I was seeing. Laying on the ground, looking like a bunch of vibrating idiots, the Cullen's seemed to be full of pain, crying out in misery.
"Jane," I repeated. The screams stopped, and she looked at me with a confused expression. I smiled at her, and said her name again, the screams of agony following behind.
Giggling at the scene before me, I started to tear up as a laughed the more I stared.
Giving me a concerned look, Demetri put his hand on my lower back, and asked me, "Are you alright Isabella?"
"She's like the clapping lights," I laughed. Tears streaming down my face, I explained to them, "you say her name and it either stops or it starts. It's voice activated."
Realizing how stupid I sounded, and how confused I just made myself, I started to sniffle, "I just want to go to sleep. Fucking vampires are so cruel, can't a human get some rest."
"I think it would be best to get Isabella to her sleeping arrangements now," said Caius. Looking at him with a grateful look, he looked at me with pity. "She seems to be losing her mind with the lack of sleep." Dick.
Snapping his fingers, Aro ordered Felix to take care of the Cullen's. Before I knew it, they -along with the rest of the guards- were no longer in the main room. All that were left were the three kings, Demetri and I.
"So am I going to what I assume is my permanent room?" I asked them warily. "Or is this where you guys say one thing, and then kill me?"
Chuckling at me, Aro answered, "You were correct. The room you will be sent to now will be your permanent living arrangements. As you can probably tell, since we had found that you are Demetris mate, I believe that he would like for you to be changed."
Sneering up at him, I told them, "What about what I think?" Glancing at Demetri before looking back, I continued, "No offense - actually fuck that - all of the offenses, you're acting no better than the Cullen's. Demetri and I haven't talked about anything. What gives you the right to just decide this?"
"We understand where you are coming from," Marcus started. "The reality is, thanks to my gift, I saw the bond that you both have formed within the past hour or so. No matter what you decide, you're stuck with each other, and that's that."
"So I can't do anything?" I questioned them, not really sold on the idea.
"Well, you could just stay in denial," Demetri started. "But I appreciate it if you wouldn't, as we would just both be in pain."
Is this the first time I'm actually talking to him? Why is my body reacting stupidly?
Maybe, I thought, I'm allergic to him.
"So I'm just supposed to accept it," I told him sarcastically.
"You're supposed to act like the adult you claim to be," he pointed out. "This isn't just about you, it's about us. We will figure it out as we go, but for now you need rest."
Temporarily accepting the answer, I stepped towards Demetri, and held out my hand, "Hello. My name is Isabella. I'm a bitch. I'm annoying. I'm rude. I have the mentality of a 12 years old boy. I've faced many traumatic events, scaring me for life. You sure you wanna do this?"
Smirking at me, he chuckled and grasped my hand, yanking me towards him and placing a kiss on my neck right below my ear. "Bring it."
Hey I'm back, back again.
Guess who's back, tell a friend!
Sorry guys, but exams were brutal. I've been thinking of uploading once a week, what do you think?
On another note, what do you think? I'm still not sure where I'm going with this, but I'm still loving the bitchy, angry Bella. You?
