Hello Beautiful
Summary: (Set during New Moon) Laurent lingered at my neck and before the black heaps that I saw behind him could move, he had carefully bit down on my neck, leaving the venom inside my body. I closed my eyes and fell into hell.

"I never want to see you unhappy. I thought you'd want the same for me. Good-bye my almost lover, good-bye my hopeless dream. I'm trying not to think about you. Can't you just let me be? So long my loveless romance, my back is turned on you. Should have known you'd bring me heartache, almost lovers always do." – Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy
Edward's POV
Friday – 10:30am
"Don't touch me." Bella moaned as she kneeled on the cold ground. "Please, please make this all go away. Stop torturing me with this, with their concern. It's not making this any easier." She groaned and buried her head in her hands. I bit my lip in agony. I did this to Bella; I left her to this pain.
"Bella, please… this is not a dream." I told her sternly, but she wasn't listening.
"You're not really here, are you?" Bella questioned her voice thick with agony and pain. I flinched at her tone. "You're just going to leave again and I'm going to wake up alone and empty once more. This has happened before," she stopped and mouthed something that I couldn't read. She couldn't even say my name. "It will happen again and I'm not going to fall for it again."
I moved slightly towards her, she winced and moved away from me. "What do I have to do to prove to you that this,"—I gestured to the rest of the family that had found us—"is really real Bella?"
She stopped and looked around, her eyes searching for something. Alice moved towards her quietly and she snapped out of her trance. She looked at Alice and inhaled quickly—although she didn't have too. "I don't know," she denied. "This is just too perfect to be real. It can't be because I'm not this lucky."
"It's okay Bella, we're here for good, we're not going to leave you and you are this lucky." I told her and I reached for her. She looked at me—frightened—and took a step back. "Bella, please."
"Don't touch me." Bella repeated. "Where's Jake?"
"Bella," Alice cut in. "Even if we were not here, Jacob wouldn't stay around you. You know that werewolves and vampires are enemies. Now that you're a vampire, you can't be with him anymore."
Bella flinched. "I forgot," she muttered.
"It's alright Bella," Esme said soothingly as she took a step forward. 'What can we do Edward?' Esme questioned me in my mind. "Everything is going to be alright, you just have to trust us. We're going to make everything okay."
'I don't know. I'm out of ideas.' I told Esme in her mind. Bella frowned. "I don't think I can trust you." She said swiftly. "This could easily end in a matter of seconds after I say: 'I trust you,' and then I'll be alone again."
"Bella that is not going to happen. We're going to be here for you, but if you can't trust us enough to believe that we're really here for you, then we're going to really leave and you will really be alone." Rosalie threatened her voice like ice. "Is that clear?"
"Rosalie…!" Esme started, but she stopped when Bella's face went blank and looked over to Rosalie and then around at the whole family.
Bella blinked. "You're really here?"
I nodded and Alice looked at me. 'I should go to her, she's going into hysterics. I don't know if she'll be so forgiving to you. Just a warning.' Alice told me and I nodded again. Alice walked slowly and carefully to Bella, taking her into her arms. Bella buried her head in Alice's shoulder and choked on her tearless sobs. Alice spoke words underneath her breath to Bella so that she would calm down and so that we would have time to explain to her everything that was happening. She nodded, wrapping her arms around Alice's back. I longed to hold Bella, I had been away from her for too long and now once I was with her—I couldn't even touch her without freaking out. I should have expected that though, she would not welcome me back with open arms. I left her too painfully; I knew that I would have to gain her trust back. My whole family was going to have to win Bella's trust back—but especially me.
'Was that necessary?' I shot towards Rosalie, who rolled her eyes at the comment.
'Of course that was necessary, if I hadn't done that Edward, she would have still been moaning and groaning about how she hates this and wishes she would wake up.' Rosalie glared at Bella as I bit back on what I wanted to yell at her. She should just be nice to Bella. 'Wouldn't that be annoying? She wouldn't even respond to anybody and then we would be stuck again and you would go all sulky and disappear on us again all because of her.'
I looked towards Bella then back to Rosalie. 'Be nice to Bella, Rosalie.'
'Yeah, yeah. Of course I'll be nice to your precious Bella; I am going to be nice to her. You don't have to tell me that a million times Edward, I got it enough from Esme and Alice when you were gone.' Rosalie shot back.
'Well then it should be pretty clear to you now. Bella is going to be a part of our family now, you should be extra nice and careful what you say around her.' I told Rosalie sternly.
'Get over yourself Edward, she's not human anymore.'
I clenched my fist and Rosalie looked at me, mocking me—waiting for me to respond to her. 'I know.' Was all I said to her, her eyebrows shot up in surprise and then she rolled her eyes. She had been awaiting my blow up, but I was not going to give her that satisfaction.
"We should go home now Bella," Alice told Bella, who nodded weakly. "I'll carry her." Alice whispered to me and picked up Bella, who was still crying tearlessly.
It made me worry, would Bella ever forgive my family? Would she ever forgive me? She definitely knew that we were here to help her, but that didn't mean that she would all of a sudden forgive us for our disappearance. I knew Bella too well that she wouldn't do that. She would hold a small grudge, something that I knew that anybody would do after the situation I put her through. I followed Alice slowly back to the house, the rest of the family in front of me. I was completely lost in my thoughts.
Carlisle's POV
Friday – 6:00pm
Bella had locked herself Alice and Jaspers' room since the moment that we got to the house. It was a reasonable thing for her to do and we understood to just leave her alone. Alice looked up at me, "you think that it will get better for her as the months—years—centuries pass?"
"I think so," I told Alice truthfully. "But you never know, sometimes people never adjust to this life."
"Some life," Edward grumbled.
Alice sighed. "Edward, you know that—"
Ring. Ring. Ring.
Alice stopped as the phone started to ring. She sighed again, muttering to herself how she would tell Edward after this phone call. I looked over to the phone before walking over too it. I looked back over to Edward who only shrugged, before muttering quickly, "Charlie Swan." I nodded and let the phone ring once more before picking it up.
"Hello?" I questioned into the phone, although I already knew who it was.
"Hi, uh—Dr. Cullen? This is Charlie Swan; I was just wondering if you knew where my daughter Bella is. I mean she seemed pretty fond of your son, Edward, so I was just wondering if she was with you." Charlie asked hopefully. I looked up the stairs to where Bella sat in Alice's room and then back to Edward and Alice.
I snapped back to the conversation. "I'm sorry Charlie, We haven't seen Bella,"—Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper all entered the room—"since we left a couple of months ago."
Charlie sighed, "could you look for her around? Sorry to bother you, but she's been missing for a couple of days. I just don't know where Bella could be. I never though she was irresponsible before to just wander off by herself."
"I would never take Bella as being irresponsible. But of course Charlie, I'll go look for her. I'll make sure to have my whole family look." I told him sincerely.
Rosalie shook her head, making a quick 'tsk'-ing sound before sitting down on the couch next to Alice. "Thanks so much Dr. Cullen, call me if you find anything. Good-bye." Charlie said and snapped the phone shut. I hung up slowly before walking over to where most of my family was.
"Should we tell Bella?" Alice questioned.
Edward shook his head, "it would only make her very unhappy and then we would have to deal with it. We will tell her about her parents later." He looked over to Jasper, "what's going on with her up there?"
Jasper paused and searched the room for Bella's feelings. "She's worried and she's uneasy about something. But that's about it."
"Hmm." Edward mumbled.
Jasper sighed and looked at Edward. "That's all I know for now, she also is a bit panicked, but I calmed her down a bit. I think she's going to come to her senses soon. At least I hope that she will."
Edward nodded to Jasper and myself and turned his attention to somebody else. "Alice?"
"I haven't seen anything Edward; I'll tell you if I do." Alice promised.
"Well," Emmett cut into the tension that was swarming around the room. "What should we do while we wait for Bella to finish her thinking? I mean, we can't just sit around and do nothing, can we?"
"Where's Esme?" Alice asked suddenly.
"She went to go and get some clothes for Bella from her house. She said she just wanted to make Bella feel at home." Rosalie said and Alice sighed. I sat down on the couch with the rest of my family, it probably was going to take awhile for Bella to think, but that was reasonable, a lot had happened in a few days.
"But I could have taken her shopping!" Alice protested. "Now Bella has no reason to go shopping with me." She stopped suddenly and turned to Edward before her eyes went back to normal.
"What'd you see?" Jasper asked softly.
Alice's eyes turned to her husband. "Nothing important, just Jacob wandering through the woods looking for something… looking for Bella." she trailed off and we knew that something was wrong. She knew it also, her visions were back to seeing the wolves which wasn't usual for her. "I don't see how this keeps happening! I'm not supposed to see them. Carlisle?"
"I don't know either Alice, it's unexplainable." I told her, it shocked me also that that was happening. "I'll have to look into this."
Alice nodded. "Okay."
Nobody said anything else as Esme walked through the door.
Unknown POV
Friday – 6:00pm
"That was very good." The second female remarked. "But I think they are worrying too much about the wolves then they are about why Jacob is looking for Bella."
The male paused and opened his eyes. "You can't do any better. Stop nagging on her."
The second female scowled as she looked at the first female whose eyes were still closed and concentrating on what was happening. "Yes, they are actually. I'll try again later when I think of something good to show her. You know that I have the power to control her visions, it's like a filter. I get to see them first while she only gets to see the parts that I want her to see. I see one of the Swan girls, she has a strong power. The power to gain any super-natural power from any vampire that is special, that she comes in contact with."
"How is that possible?" The male snarled. "They said she wouldn't be so powerful!"
"I don't know," The second female remarked. "They could always be wrong like they are now. We will just have to be careful when we're around her, I guess. Otherwise she'll detect us and take your,"—she pointed to the first female—"power."
The first female nodded. "That's right, we'll keep our distance. But don't forget that I can still control her mind. I can make sure she won't detect us."
"That's right." The male agreed as they turned their attention to the house.
Bella's POV
Saturday – 12:00am
I heard every word that they said about me.
It had started when I first entered the house. Alice had put me down and I rushed up to her and Jaspers' room, just wanting to be alone. I knew that they were probably going to make a room for me, but I just wanted to be alone for awhile. I had lain across the bed, tossing my hair to one side. I was definitely not in the mood for any kind of talking. I knew that I had to think of the facts and what was happening, but I couldn't think. I just lay there, starring up at the ceiling, listening to every word that they said downstairs. I lay there for a couple more minutes, waiting for time to pass me. I had eternity to forgive them; I wasn't going to just forgive them right off the back. It wasn't fair what they did to me a couple months ago, I wasn't going to just welcome them back with open arms. I looked up at the ceiling again, before standing up and walking to Alice's closet. Everything in my body burned as the name: 'Jacob' appeared in my mind. I sorted through Alice's clothing, knowing that she probably wouldn't mind—but still feeling guilty about it. My body was doing something that my mind didn't order it too. I wasn't even thinking as I touched all of her nice clothing, they smelled exactly like her.
Jacob. What I wouldn't give to see him again. Even if I just got a glimpse of him, I would be satisfied for eternity. I cringed at the thought that I probably wouldn't see him again. It would be rough for me, but I had to get over it. I just had too. There was no point in wasting my breath to try and find him again when I knew that it was totally… wrong. I knew that I had to stick to the treaty or else I could cost my new family's happiness at living here. They loved it here in Forks; it was almost the only place that they could go. That was wrong though, they could go any place. Yet, they chose to live here out of all places. But they had left here before, why couldn't they just leave again?
That was wrong to think of.
I shook the thoughts out of my head and picked out one of my favorite tops from Alice's collection. Her closet was huge and it was packed with expensive things that I had never even dreamed of. I knew that if I had given into her and let her taken my to the mall, she would have spent a lot of money on me. That's why I never accepted on going to the mall with her. Why should I let her spend a lot of money on me? It wasn't like I was her family… then. I guess that it felt like that to her, it used to feel like that to me also, but when they left it felt like they weren't my family. Families don't leave one family member behind. How could they do that to me? And then all of a sudden reappear and think that everything is okay? Well, I knew that they probably didn't think that, but it seemed like that to me.
"Do you think she's alright?" Alice's voice floated in my direction. "I don't want her to be sulking upstairs forever."
I jerked away from Alice's closet and sat back down on the bed. I knew that they were headed in my direction. "I think that she will be fine, I think that she just needs some time to think things over. We shouldn't disturb her." Esme said sensibly and I thanked god that I had Esme, she was so reasonable.
There was a pause. "You're right." Alice agreed—she sounded defeated.
I heard the footsteps as they headed downstairs once more. I knew that I should go down there to talk to them, to tell them that I wasn't angry about what happened, but something stopped me. The memory of Edward just leaving me in the woods was something that I didn't like to remember. I sighed and fell down on the bed, my thoughts shifting. I knew that they were discussing me and I just wanted to be left alone.
Leave me alone. I thought unhappily.
Esme's POV
Saturday – 12:00am
"Do you think she's alright?" Alice asked as we walked upstairs. I was going to get something from my room and Alice offered to accompany me. I knew she was debating on whether of not to go inside Bella's room. "I don't want her sulking upstairs forever."
I shook my head as we passed Alice and Jaspers' room where Bella had locked herself. "I think that she will be fine, I think that she just needs some time to think things over. We shouldn't disturb." I said sensibly and Alice bit down on her lip.
She paused. "You're right," she said, defeated.
I quickly grabbed something from my room and we walked down the stairs together. "She'll come to us soon." I told Alice and she nodded, as she hung her head and we walked into the kitchen. Rosalie was sitting at the bar, lazily flipping through a magazine.
"The newborn happy yet?" Rosalie asked dryly.
"Rosalie," I warned her. "You know that you are supposed to be nicer to Bella. She's part of the family now and I don't think that any member of this family is going to take your sarcasm about her. You know how sensitive and aggravated newborns can be."
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "I know."
"Then why do you insist on keeping this up? Is this just to annoy all of us?" I questioned, I rarely got angry with any of my family members, but Rosalie was not being nice about Bella's hard time at all. I could not take it anymore, she had always envied Bella and it was time for her to get over her envy and try to help Bella.
"I get it Esme," Rosalie replied sarcastically. "I'll be nice to… Bella."
"Be serious Rosalie," I lectured her.
"I am being serious! I'll be nice to Bella!" She paused, her eyes darting wildly. "You know what? I just won't talk to Bella, I won't even talk about Bella, I won't even think about her! I'll just disappear along the sidelines and let you all worry about Bella. Is that better Esme, does that make everybody completely happy?"
I looked at her, she was about to break. But I had to do this; I had to make sure she understood. "Please Rosalie, act mature for once. You're not a child anymore; I shouldn't have to treat you like one." I said sternly.
"Whatever!" Rosalie threw up her hands and stormed out of the kitchen. "I don't give a damn anymore!"
"Esme…" Alice spoke up finally.
I shook my head and put my hand up. "Don't start with me Alice, my patience is running low ever since we left Bella the first time."
Alice nodded and sat down at the bar-stool that Rosalie had been sitting at. I looked at her and shook my head again. I shouldn't have yelled at Rosalie, but I knew that it was the only way to get through to her. Alice swung back and forth and looked up at me sadly. I turned to go and talk to Rosalie, I had to apologize to her, she was my daughter—at least that's what it felt like. I had to just explain, she had to understand. She knew that I loved her as much as I loved everybody else, I just had to make her see that sometimes were better left unsaid.
Rosalie's POV
Saturday – 12:00am
I stormed to my room, who was Esme to tell me what to do? Of course, she was like my mother and I loved her dearly, but sometimes I couldn't help my sarcastic remarks. I had been surprised that Esme had gotten so worked up, but I should have expected that. Emmett was gone with the other guys to go and hunt while all three—four of the girls were left to be at home. Esme, Alice, and I were supposed to look over Bella and help her with anything that she need. I closed the door behind me and slowly sunk against the wall of my room. I looked at all the familiar things and buried my head in my knees. I had never been the one to be perceived as weak, but I felt it. Everything was going to Bella, there was nothing important about me, Bella was getting all the attention.
I didn't hear the door open until it was too late.
"Rosalie?" Bella's tentative voice entered my hearing range and I turned my head. Great, just what I needed, Bella to taunt me with all her perfect things. Actually, I was quite surprised to see that she was here. I was probably the first person she had talked too in a long time—although I hadn't been keeping track. She looked at me before walking into my room and closing the door tightly behind her. She sat down besides me and looked at the ceiling. "I heard you sobbing." She said softly.
"Sorry," I muttered angrily.
"No, I'm sorry." She told me and looked over to me. "I shouldn't have been so careless at the meadow and none of this would have happened. I wouldn't bring you this pain and I wouldn't be such a burden to the whole family."
I looked at her, stunned slightly. "You're not a burden."
"Of course I am!" Bella protested. "I mean I'm making you sob because I'm worrying Esme and I haven't talked to anybody until now and everybody pretty much thinks I'm being selfish. I don't want that, I never wanted to be this big burden that everybody has to carry."
"But you're not a burden, Bella. My—our family loves you." I repeated my first statement and Bella smiled slightly.
"You're only saying that." Bella said weakly.
"I'm not." I said, surprising myself. I was supposed to tell Bella off, but I couldn't. There was something taking over me and it made me want to comfort Bella since she was taking the blame for something that wasn't her fault. "I really mean it Bella."
She sighed and wrapped her arms around me. "I'm sorry for everything Rosalie, I never meant for this to happen."
I nodded and buried my head in her shoulder, feeling her comfort surround me. She ran her hand up and down my back, soothingly me completely. "It's okay," I told her truthfully. "It was mostly my fault, I shouldn't have been so hard on you, and it wasn't fair to you. It's not like you chose this life."
"Shhh." Bella soothed as I sobbed openly into her shoulder. "It's alright Rosalie, we're a family, and families will stick together forever." I could tell there was some hurt in her voice, but I didn't feel like questioning it.
Jacob's POV
Saturday – 11:00am
I had to go see her. I had to see her once more, because inside everything was aching for Bella's touch once more. I didn't care if she was an enemy, she was still my Bella. I was going to go to the Cullen's house to see her, I wasn't thinking as I stood up and walked towards the front door. I just knew that I had to see Bella, once more. I missed her voice and her laughter and just everything about her. She was perfect, and I knew that I loved her more then just a friend. That was why I couldn't just let her go into the Cullen's hands. I opened the door, only to collide into Emily.
"Ouch." Emily muttered, rubbing her arm that was in a cast.
I reached down and picked Emily off of the ground, setting her on her feet. "Sorry Emily!" I told her sincerely and moved to get pass her.
"Where do you think you're going?" Emily asked as she bent down to get her bags. I looked at her and bit down on my lip. "Ah, I see." Emily said as she brought her bags to her side, her hands clenched around them. "You're planning on sneaking out to see Bella, aren't you?"
"I—I… I don't know what you're talking about." I tried to cover, but it didn't work against Emily.
"Don't lie to me," Emily said in a laughing tone. "I know that you were."
I sighed in defeat and nodded. "I just miss her so much Emily, I mean I know that I will never get to be with her ever again, but if I could just see her one more time, it would make me very happy. That's where I was planning on going."
"Let me go for you." Emily told me sternly. "I'll talk to her, just write something on a piece of paper and I'll give it to her. It'll work that way."
I looked at her stunned; she was going to go to a house of vampires… for me? Oh boy, Sam was going to kill me. But I couldn't just let this opportunity go by. "Okay," I agreed and she smiled before leading the way into the house. "Hold on, it'll take just a minute."
I wrote down the words quickly and returned to the kitchen where Emily was putting away everything. She smiled at me and took the note that I had offered her. "I'll be back in about ten minutes? I don't know. Don't tell Sam about this please, it would be better if I told him." She bit her lip and I nodded.
"You have my word." I told her, and she was off.
Emily's POV
Saturday – 11:00am
I opened the door to my car and before I saw anything happening, the door slammed shut. "Where do you think you're going?" I whipped around assuming it was Sam, but it was actually Jared.
"Nowhere," I muttered. "Just going to do a little shopping."
Jared furrowed his brow and I knew he didn't believe me. "But didn't you just go? I thought I just saw you with some groceries when you were talking to Jacob…?" I shook my head quickly and inhaled as I snuck the note into my jeans pocket. Jared was still starring at me, he knew I would probably crack under pressure, but I wasn't going too.
"I just forgot something's, I know how much you guys love to eat, and I forgot some… butter to put into my cake." I told him quickly. "Nothing major, I'll be back in five minutes, ten at the most."
Jared smiled at the word: 'cake' and opened the door for me. "Hurry back, I do want some cake."
I laughed, "alright, I'll be back soon."
He waved as I started the car and backed out of the driveway. I sighed in relief as I got on the road and droved towards the Cullen house. Sam was going to be very angry, but I couldn't just let Jacob be all depressed over this. A couple minutes passed before I got to the sheltered driveway. I drove through it tentatively, knowing that they would hear me and I got out of my car. I walked slowly up the house, uneasy about everything before pressing the doorbell. To my surprise, Alice Cullen opened the door, looking stunned to see me there.
Alice's POV
Saturday – 10:59am
Bella was sitting on the couch as I talked to her. She seemed rather upbeat since she had talked to Rosalie who sat on her other side, offering her opinion at certain points. I smiled at her sudden kindness and I was glad that she was in a good mood again. I smiled as Bella and Rosalie talked together, it made me happy that Bella had talked some sense back into Rosalie. They seemed to be getting along and Rosalie's attitude had changed. It was later that I heard a knock on the door. I stood up and walked over to the door, not knowing who it could be. For once, I didn't know who it was. That was strange.
I was surprised to see Emily—Sam's Emily—standing there. "Hello there!" I chirped. "Do you need something?"
"I—I…" She looked down nervously. "I was looking for Bella."
Oh my god! I had forgotten about Bella, she would totally be crazy once she saw Emily; the scent would totally kill her. I held the doorframe tightly as I realized that Bella was walking over to me. "Rosalie," I mouthed and she nodded, walking over to Bella. Bella didn't seem at all disturbed at the fact that Emily's scent was wafting through the air.
"Emily!" Bella squealed and went towards her, but I blocked her path. "Alice, what's wrong?"
I looked at her, completely surprised. "You mean to tell me Bella, that her scent does nothing to you? You're a newborn; the scent should drive you completely insane." Bella looked at me like I had gone completely mad.
"Alice, I don't smell anything." Bella told me sincerely.
I looked into her eyes, they were boarding a golden topaz like my own to the blackness that meant she needed to hunt… except, she didn't seem at all tempted by Emily's flesh or blood. She wasn't going crazy like Jasper had at her birthday party last fall, she was completely calm, unmoved by the fact that there was blood pulsing in the area. "What… what is happening?" I asked softly as Rosalie went to Bella's side.
Emily cleared her throat. "It's great to see you awake Bella."
"It's great to see you too." Bella told Emily and smiled at her, she didn't move at all, she was standing where she was. I knew that it was just to make me happy. "Is there something you need to tell me? Did something happen to Jacob?"
Emily laughed and held up her hands defensively. "No, no! Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to give you this." She handed me a folded piece of paper. "I better get going; Sam's not going to be happy that I'm here." She waved slightly. "I'll talk to you later Bells."
"Bye Em." Bella breathed and looked over to me. "Is there something wrong?"
"Come with me," I told her quickly and closed the door before grabbing her hand gently and pulling her into the kitchen where Esme was sitting at the kitchen table, flipping absently through a book. Rosalie and she had made up after Bella had talked to Rosalie. "Esme, something wrong just happened."
Esme looked up, "what is it Alice?"
"Bella isn't at all tempted by human blood, isn't that quite strange?" I asked her and Esme stared at Bella with interest. She was sorting something through her mind and I wondered to myself, how I could have not seen this. There was something wrong with my visions and I didn't know what it was.
"I don't see how that is possible." Esme remarked, surprised.
"I think it all makes sense actually," Rosalie spoke for the first time. "You see, Bella was disgusted and practically passed out when she saw human blood and wounds in her human life. Now in her 'after'-life, it's sticking out that's she's disgusted by human blood. Remember, this 'after'-life makes things that were unique in your human life become more defined in this life."
There was a pause of silence. "You're right," I muttered. "Does that mean that you can't… hunt?"
"I don't think so; I think it's just human blood, right Bella?" Rosalie asked.
Bella looked a bit stunned and she starred down at the ground, thinking this all through. "I don't know, I think it's just human blood that disgusted me when I was human,"—she cringed and looked back at us—"but I'm not entirely sure."
"We should test it out!" I suggested.
"We'll wait for Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward first." Esme said sternly and smiled. "Then we'll test it out, if that's alright with you Bella?"
She thought this over for a second and then lifted her gaze to Esme then to me and then to Rosalie before returned to look at Esme. "That's fine with me; I would like to know more about this… life." I knew that she knew most about this life, but there was so much more to teach her and at least she was willing to learn. I wondered what Edward would say when he got home.
Unknown POV
Saturday – 11:30am
"That's strange," the male said quickly, "that she's not at all tempted by the human's blood."
The first female's eyes raged with thirst as she looked longingly at the woman in the car. "Let me just have her, please. I haven't eaten for days; her blood is singing for me, I'm not quite sure how Isabella resisted it. She is a newborn after all."
"You can't have her," the male said sternly.
The first female groaned, "please?"
"No! You know that that will ruin everything, we're going to have to be patient and if we take down one of the main characters in this plan, then they'll know something is wrong. We're going to have to eat outside the area so nobody knows." The male ordered.
"Fine," she shot back. "But this is only because I want revenge on Isabella, I would have just killed her friend right now, if we didn't want to be sneaky and everything." She looked at the second female who was leaning against the tree, not even looking inside the house. "What's your problem?"
"This is getting quite boring, when are we going to strike?" The second female asked, her tone completely dead.
The male laughed mockingly. "Soon, very soon. We just need her to be very happy before we rip away everything that she's hoped for. We should toy with her head if that's possible, do you think so?" He asked, talking to the first female.
"Of course it is, just say the word and I will do it." The first female commanded.
The male smiled. "Alright, we should get our army together. We'll have to distract the Cullen's before we totally take her."
"I met a nice boy tonight," the first female confided in them. "He said his name was Riley, I was planning on drinking his blood tonight, but I could probably change him. He seemed pretty willing and he even thinks I like him."
"Very good, very good. Tonight is the day we'll start making our army." The male said with finality.
End of Chapter 4
Authors Note: So hello guys, sorry this chapter is so late! I've been very… lazy this week and haven't been writing, but I hope these 12 pages make up for all the lost time that I had for this story. Okay I just want to tell you that I re-wrote this chapter over like 500 times and I couldn't decide how to make Bella believe that they were really there, so it's kind of messed up.
I'm really sorry if this is a horrible chapter, I try my best, but it never seems to be enough. My beta is still gone and I really don't know when she's gone, so forgive me for the mistakes! Next chapter, Edward and Bella confrontation! The chapters will get more interesting after this! Also, Jacob and Bella will confront each other also, well actually Bella's gonna sneak out and you'll see.
I'M SO SORRY THIS IS A BAD CHAPTER! I'm gonna try to make them more exciting, just think of this as a filler chapter.
Also you can still tell me what power you want Bella to have because I didn't put in this chapter! xD I just wanted to make sure everybody had a change to tell me!
Alright, well I'll sign off for now, thanks so much for all the reviews, they make me keep writing and I'll update probably tomorrow if I can still write after those 12 pages! LOL! Okay, so… bye!
Feedback is wonderful – review please!
