Chapter Four: Early
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. It would be cool if I did though. I also do not own the movie or books that are mentioned.
Skye's P.O.V
While I was getting my clothes, Alec had called Curly's and ordered our dinner. Soon enough we were heading to his house after picking up our meals. Neither of us talked on the way to his house and I think it was because of how I had acted earlier. When we did reached his house, Alec led me inside and into the dining room where he set down our food. I put my backpack down by the wall and took a seat. Even as I started eating, we were both still silent and it was bugging me. "Is something wrong?"
"Why would something be wrong, Skye?"
"Because you haven't said a word since I went into my house to get some clothes for tonight."
"You didn't say anything either."
"Yeah, that's because I thought you were mad at me. I thought you didn't want me to stay here tonight."
"I just thought it was weird that we haven't been dating that long and you were already wanting to stay at my house."
"Do you want me to go home?"
Alec sighed and shook his head, "No, I don't want you to go home if you don't want to." He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "How about we finish eating, then do your homework, and then we can watch a movie or something. How does that sound?"
I nodded, "Okay."
Alec smiled and opened the take out box that his burger was in. We made small talk while we ate just so that it wasn't awkward. "How much homework do you have left?"
"About a page, just front and back."
"Okay, how about we get started on it while you finish up so that we have more time to do something later on."
"That's fine with me," I replied, about to get up.
"No, you keep eating, I can get your backpack for you."
"Thanks."
While Alec went to grab my backpack from where I had dropped it off, I finished eating. I was just about to get up to throw my trash away when Alec came back with my bag. "Here, I can throw that away." he said, giving me my bag and taking my trash.
Opening my bag, I took out my Chemistry binder that held my homework and the notes that would help me finish it. Alec cleared off the table of the stuff that we didn't need while I stared at the piece of paper in front of me. I hoped that the answer would just pop out at me but it wasn't working. Groaning, I looked up, "Can you help me?"
"I was wondering how long it would take you to ask me for help," Alec said, laughing.
~Time Jump~
"Thanks for helping me with my homework. Sorry that it took so long." I said as I shoved my binder back in my bag.
"It's okay, and I don't care how long it took as long as you can understand it." Alec responded. "What do you want to do now?"
"I don't know, what do you have in mind?"
"No idea. How about a movie?"
"What movies do you have?"
"I don't know, a lot. Why don't you go look while I make some popcorn?"
"Okay, where are the movies at?"
"In the cupboards on either side of the TV."
I nodded and made my way into the living room while Alec made us some popcorn. Opening the cupboard on the right, I started to look through the movies that were in there. Seeing nothing of interest, I went over to the other one. It didn't take me long to find a movie that I liked in that cupboard. I smiled as I took out the DVD and put it in the DVD player. After closing the cupboard doors, I plopped down on the couch, watching as the credits began. Alec came in with a large bowl of popcorn and sat next to me. "Have I missed anything good?"
"No, the credits are just starting."
"Cool. What movie are we watching?"
"Forrest Gump."
"Nice, great movie.
I nodded but didn't reply because he had pressed the play button and the actual movie was starting. Every once in awhile, we would say a line by heart that we knew was going to come up.
As the movie neared its end, I felt my eyes beginning to close. I tried my hardest to keep them open, but it was no use, my body wanted to sleep. I felt Alec's chest move, where my head lay, as he laughed. "You know you can fall asleep, right?"
"I know, but I don't want to sleep in a skirt."
Alec started to move but I stopped him with my hand "Don't move, you're a good pillow."
"Come on, Skye. You can change once you get upstairs."
I slowly sat up and looked at him, "I have to walk up stairs?"
"Yeah, where else did you think that you would be sleeping?"
I shrugged and lowered my head back onto his chest. Alec sighed and he started to get up. Just as I was about to protest, I felt his arms going under my knees and behind my back. "What are you doing?"
"Just what it looks like. I'm carrying you up the stairs since you don't seem to want to walk up them yourself."
I smiled and buried my head in his neck. "Thanks."
"No problem, baby."
I smiled again, keeping my eyes as I was carried up the stairs and into the room. It was when Alec set me down that I remembered something, "My bag with my clothes in it is still downstairs."
"You stay here and I will go get it. don't fall asleep because I am not changing you."
"Okay, you better hurry up then 'cause I don't know how much longer my eyes will stay open."
Alec's laughed got quieter as he walked out of the room and down the stairs. It wasn't that long before I felt the bed go down as he sat down next to me with my bag in his hands. "Come on, Skye, you can go to bed after you change."
I groaned, but sat up and opened my eyes. Sticking my hand out, I motioned for him to hand over my bag and then get out. He smiled and shook his head as he handed the bag over and stood up. "Do you think that you will need any more pillows or blankets?"
"I like lots of pillows, should be good on the blankets though."
"Okay, you change, I'll be back soon."
I went through my bag and grabbed my pj's as Alec shut the door. Changing quickly, I put my dirty clothes in my bag before throwing my bag onto the floor. Once that was done, I pulled the covers back and laid my head down on the pillows that were already there. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in!"
The door opened and Alec walked in with numerous pillows in his arms, "You're still awake?"
"Not for much longer."
Alec chuckled, "Here are the extra pillows."
"Thanks." I replied, taking them from him and arranging them around my head. I could feel Alec watching me as I tried to get them in the perfect place. When I was sure that they were where I wanted them to be, I laid down on my side, facing where Alec was now sitting. "Are you going to bed now?"
"No, I'll probably stay up for a little while longer."
Instead of responding, I just nodded and closed my eyes. After a moment, I felt Alec's hand on my head, his thumb was rubbing my forehead like my dad did when I was little and sick. Just as I was about to fall into the blackness if sleep, I heard Alec whisper to me, "Goodnight, Skye."
"Night."
Alec's p.o.V
I smiled as I walked out of the guest bedroom, Skye looked peaceful as she slept. Walking back downstairs, I headed back into the living room where the end credits for Forest Gump were rolling. Taking out the DVD, I put it back in it's case before putting it back in the cupboard. Instead of hunting like I usually did, I decided to stay in and read while Skye slept. I didn't want to chance anything happening to her while I was out.
Walking into the office that I kept on the first floor. I looked through the three shelves of books. I knew that it was going to be a long night so I grabbed a couple of series that I liked. Some of which were Maximum Ride, Alex Rider, and Left Behind. Heading out of the office with my arm loaded with books, I headed back into the living room where I set the books of the coffee table and sat on the couch. Deciding to get the longer series out of the way, I grabbed the first Left Behind book and began reading. In no time I was lost in the fictional world, not wanting to leave it until the sun rose.
~Time Jump~
I had finished the Left Behind series and was now halfway through Maximum Ride when my phone went off. I had left it on the coffee table after putting Skye to bed so that I would be in easy reach of it when my alarm went off. I had just gotten a text and I knew that whatever it was about, it could be good. The only people that I knew would that would be texting me at two in the morning was a vampire and there were few vampires that had my number.
Taking an unneeded deep breath, I reached for my phone. It was a picture message from Jane. I was shocked at what I found when I opened it. The picture was of Skye, sleeping upstairs in my guest bedroom. "No," I whispered.
Jumping up off the couch, I hurried upstairs, afraid at what I might find waiting for me. Opening the door to the guest room, I was meet with Jane and two other guys watching Skye as she slept. Jane turned around and smiled at me. "She's cute."
"Stay away from her."
"Is she the one that you are going to change?" Jane asked as one of the boys stepped towards her.
"Get away from her!" I hissed, rushing forward and yanking him away from the bed.
"You are fond of her, aren't you?" the other boy asked.
"What?"
"You like her."
"I-"
"Aw, my brother has a girlfriend!" Jane cooed.
"Shut up, Jane. What are you doing here?"
"I told you that I was going to visit you."
"Yeah, but I didn't think that you would be here this soon."
"So, we got here a little early, what's the big deal?"
"You need to leave here. Right now."
"Why?"
"The Cullens are here."
"They are? Cool!"
I shook my head, "You're so weird sometimes."
"So, when are you going to change her?"
"I- I don't know."
"You are going to change her, aren't you?"
"I-" I broke off as Skye moved around in the bed. All four of us froze, wondering if she was going to wake up or not. When she didn't wake up, I turned back to Jane. "You need to leave."
"She doesn't know what we are, does she?"
"No."
Jane nodded, thinking about something. "We're going home in a week, so if you are going to change her, you need to do it soon so that the change is complete for when we depart."
"Okay."
"Come on guys, lets leave my brother with his girl." The boys nodded and headed out of the room while Jane stayed back for a moment. Once the boys were down stairs, she spoke up, "What is her power?"
"She isn't affected by other people's powers. Her mode also effects things. The other day she was upset at school and the lights near her were flickering."
"She had potential, I think she would be a good attention to the Volturi."
"Yeah," I whispered, watching Skye.
"Don't forget what I said, Alec. We leave in a week. You need to change her soon."
I nodded, "Bye, Jane."
"Bye, Alec."
I stayed in the room awhile longer, just watching Skye sleep. She wasn't like I was, she wasn't a killer. I didn't want to tell her about us, to change her. What was I supposed to do? Taking a deep breath, I quietly went back downstairs to where my phone was lying on the floor. Picking it up, I dialed the operator and asked, "Can I have the number for Dr. Carlisle Cullen?"
Hope you liked it. Sorry it took so long to get up.
