Supernatural Beings Exist

Chapter 3

This morning, I once again awoke to the shrill sound of my alarm clock that was bound to be the death of me, but there was something quite off about this morning. I didn't know what it was, but it was as if my brain were disconnected from my body, or maybe I was just imagining it, my mom had always told me that I had an overly active imagination. Anyways, ignoring that fact, I got dressed into my outfit which consisted of a black skinny jeans, red long sleeved top with the words, "I hate whoever reads this shirt. That means you!", and my black Converse sneakers, once again grabbing my coat as I went downstairs.

I made a quick run to the kitchen to eat a cereal bar and then I was off to the daily torture chamber which people in society called high school. I arrived at school with ten minutes to spare. I was heading to my locker when I felt a pair of eyes watching me, but as I turned around I didn't see anything. I just continued collecting my books that I would need from my locker and then I closed it and walked to homeroom.

When I arrived, the first bell rang and the teachers began taking roll-call, when they got to my name, I just raised my hand to signal that I was indeed present in the class at that moment, once that was finished, we headed off to first period classes, which for me, was English, my personal favorite. Once I got to English, I immediately recognized more students names than yesterday. I noticed that I had this class with Jessica, Angela, Eric and Tyler. Just before I reached my seat, I immediately noticed two other faces that I missed mentioning, those two faces belonged to Alice and Edward Cullen. They were whispering intently about something but when their gaze met mine, they stopped immediately and once again, Edward glared at me with those hostile eyes that instantly made my gaze revert back to the front of the classroom.

After that lesson, I was beginning to feel light-headed but passed it off as nothing, because I wasn't very sick lately, but it was more like the feeling that something wanted to overpower my brain, as if it wanted to control me. Then it registered that I had blocked out my "callings" for more than three months and that was bad because once I wanted to unblock the "callings", then I would have a major problem as there would be many souls that needed help and that would overpower my brain and then I would just collapse and go into coma until I could focus on just one particular calling. I decided that once I got home, I would unblock my mind and maybe help someone in need.

The day at school passed quickly with Biology being uneventful and Edward sitting as close to the edge of the table that was furthest away from me as possible. Anyways, I didn't care. As the last bell rang, I wasn't happier than I had been in that moment, I rushed to my car, eager to get home and out of the rainy weather, that's when it happened, I was just finished loading my backpack into the trunk of my car when I met Edward's gaze and this time, it looked as if it were a glance that he was hungry and I was his meal, a look of terror, one that gave my body goose bumps. Then, it seemed that my brain was distracted for a bit too long and the shield that blocked my "callings" went out of place, the mechanism unlocked and fresh as daylight unleashed to animals that lived in darkness, so went the "callings" in my mind, loud and unbelievably unbearable and as I mentioned before, I collapsed, but not before seeing Alice with almost the same glazed look that I used to get in my eyes. After that look, my mind was filled with darkness.

I awoke in a place that looked unfamiliar, but smelled very familiar and it was the one place where I spent just as much time in it as I did in my bedroom, the smell of disinfectants and medicine, it was the hospital. Great. An unnecessary amount of attention for something that could not be medically explained, and if I were to explain it, I would be sent to an asylum. Anyways, time to open my eyes and try to get the screaming in my head to stop, before I was sent to an asylum, I tried to focus on one focal voice that stood out, but to no avail there were none. So, I let the screaming continue and just tried to look if there was anybody else in the room, and that was when I was met with a pair of stunningly beautiful, golden colored eyes. They could belong to no other family besides the Cullens, but whose pair of eyes were these, as I looked at the face, I saw that it was Alice Cullen, looking very concerned yet happy.

"Hello Bella, I'm Alice, I know we haven't met officially but that's not of importance right now, though I do want to know what happened to you." Alice said with a certain authority in her voice as though she were much older than her physical appearance, I just passed that thought off as once again another overactive imagination glitch.

"Hi Alice, as you can see I have just woken up from a sleep and I was hoping that somebody else was going to fill me in on what happened as I don't exactly remember what transpired in the parking lot, all I know is that I just woke to the awful smell, which can only be found in hospitals." I concluded my statement and she looked at me as though her brain had an inner monologue that was able to detect my lie so easily but she never questioned me about it.

Alice was just about to answer me when the door swung open to reveal Edward and an older man in a white coat, which I now assumed was a doctor, walked into the room, the nametag read, 'Dr. Cullen'.

Ahh, so I had been correct when I thought to myself that I would soon have a meeting with Dr. Cullen. I inwardly chuckled at my realization and then noticed that the three pairs of identical eyes were staring at me intently and then I heard that my 'inward' chuckle was not inward at all. So, I stopped unless they really did send me to an asylum but then I heard the doctor speak instead.

"Good morning, Ms. Swan, you seem to be much better now that your little accident is over, don't worry, it was nothing serious, just a small blackout which happens to most children of your age, you will be released as soon as I do a final check on your vitals." Dr. Cullen said with a very friendly voice and warm eyes, his voice was filled with a sense of authority but compassion overpowered it.

"Thank you, Dr. Cullen. I appreciate that, but if I'm not mistaken, did you greet me 'good morning'? If I may ask, how long have I been asleep?" I asked with a slightly raspy voice.

"You have been 'asleep' for about two days, Bella, that's why we just want to do a final check over your vitals as it is highly uncommon for a person to be 'asleep' for such a long time after such a small blackout." he concluded.

"Thanks doc, I appreciate it. Please hurry with the final check as my back is really stiff and I miss my bed." I tried to say it jokingly, but it came out as more of a plea, and I also really wanted to leave, in order to not have to answer Alice and Edward's questioning gazes.

As soon as Dr. Cullen left, Alice and Edward sat on both chairs that were at the side of my bed and just stared at me, I wished at that moment that I had in fact inherited an 'invisibility' power as it was more than awkward. Then Alice spoke and the words were not what I expected to hear at all.

"Bella, in case you didn't know, this is my brother, Edward, don't mind him, he's a rather 'suffer in silence' kind of boy, but I do know that you and I are going to be the best of friends." she concluded the last statement as if she knew something I didn't, but I couldn't ponder over that thought long enough, as suddenly a beautiful melodic voice filled the room and that voice came from the boy sitting beside Alice.

"Mind you, Alice, I can speak for myself and Bella, you ought to know that Alice is the 'make others suffer' type and by the great friends part of her statement, she meant that you were going to be her shiny, new shopping buddy and makeover doll." as Edward said this, his eyes were staring at me intently, but they were no longer hostile, they even seemed to have a glow in them and it didn't pass my mind that this was the first time Edward was talking to me since I saw him that first day in school. His voice sounded very smooth and silk-like, like honey and it flowed as smooth as a fountain, hang on, I was getting carried away and Alice and Edward seemed to stare at me like I was a piece of meat, but that isn't what bothered me, Edward's gaze seemed more intense than his sister's and that was what freaked me out.

But then the part which I was dreading started and it started with Alice opening her mouth to ask a question that I really did not want to answer.

"So Bella, what exactly happened in the parking lot at school, you just stared into Edward's eyes and fainted like a fan girl." oh my God, I could feel it, the rush of blood pumping in my veins from my neck all the way to my cheeks and then I saw Alice's cheeky smile turn somewhat serious and she looked at Edward worryingly but he seemed to give her a curt smile and a small nod, something I would've missed, had I not been looking at the interaction between them so intently.

"I don't know what happened Alice, one minute I was fine, and the next, I just passed out and as for staring at Edward, he was right opposite the lot from where I was parked, so it's perfectly normal and I am not a fan girl." that came out as a squeak and it seemed to make my argument even more pathetic, and that's when Alice's cheeky smile came about her face again, she had that look of knowledge in her eyes once again and I wondered what she was thinking. Then she did what neither me, or judging by the look of surprise on Edward's face, or Edward expected, she took the palms of her hand and lightly pressed them against the apples of my cheeks which I guessed was still dusted with the pink from my previous blush not so long ago, but that's not what surprised me, it was the temperature of her hands that made me jerk away almost instantly. Her hands were as cold as if she was just in an ice blizzard and the look that Edward gave her was a 'What the hell do you think you're doing? We need to talk about this, but not here.' gaze. It was enough to almost make me shudder and instantly, Alice's palms were off my face and they reverted back to her sides.

After that action, Edward and Alice decided to speak to me once again. Edward spoke this time though.

"Seeing as you can't remember what happened in the parking lot, I will inform you on how it looked from my side of the lot, I looked at you and it seemed as if you were in pain, not physically but mentally, as if there were an internal screaming inside your head, I know it might sound absurd, but it almost feels as though the internal shouting is still happening at this present moment." Edward concluded his statement and holy crow, I was freaked out, it was as if he could sense these sorts of things automatically, he wasn't searching for it but rather it came to him naturally. I had no response to that but decided to try anyways.

"No, not at all, I felt light-headed earlier and I ignored it, so I guess that this was my lesson. When you feel dizzy do not ignore it, or you could end up like this." I gestured the last part of my sentence to my hospital bed and its surroundings, with what I hoped looked like a smile, but Alice and Edward both looked at me quizzically until the room door swung open again, but this time in walked the beautiful blonde whose name I remembered was Rosalie. If I thought that Edward's look was hostile, then hers must have been deadly, as she called to Edward and Alice but all the while her gaze was focused on me, leaving me frozen in fear and panic, till she had to turn her eyes to Alice who whispered intently to her, they both looked at me and then soundlessly left the room, finally, I thought, I was alone at last, until I realized that Edward had not left the room. I really wanted to sleep and I didn't want to seem like I had a lack of manners so I gently spoke to Edward.

"Edward." I said, the name feeling foreign on my lips but sounding perfect.

"Yes, Bella?" he responded just as quietly.

"I think I'm going to sleep now, is that okay? You don't need to talk or anything?" and almost as if to prove how tired I was, I yawned.

Edward lightly chuckled at my yawn and shook his head at my question.

"No Bella, it's quite alright if you doze off, don't mind me. Sleep, Bella." he said softly.

"Okay, good morning, Edward." I tried to make my last joke before closing my heavy eyelids.

"Sleep, Bella." was the last words I heard, before I heard the screaming in my head get louder, then I succumbed to darkness, with nothing but torturous cries.
