Ch.4
Running at inhuman speed, was kind of my stress reliever. Being able to know that I live on the edge, and with one mistaken word, we could be one step away from being destroyed. Once made, there is always a way to be destroyed. I ran through the woods, replaying everything that went on earlier today. I was so close to snapping the mutt's neck in half. I wish I could, but I knew that only one… well two things prevented me from doing that. I couldn't fail my responsibility that Carlisle put on me, and I couldn't hurt Edward. I knew that the mutt was Edward's friend. Why, I have no clue. Those mongrels are puppies, which need to be trained not to disrespect peoples' properties. In my mind, Edward belongs to me. When I finally reached the backyard of our house, I stopped running and dropped my shoulders. I can see that the Wolf girl likes Edward, more than a friend. Edward would surly choose her over me. I couldn't give him the things that the mutt could. I couldn't love him equally. He deserves so much better. I walked through the front door, walking over to where Emmett was playing some racing game. I walked over, slapped him on top of the head, and grabbed the other remote. I needed something to get today's tension off my shoulders.
"Oww!" Emmett mumbled. I smiled at him, before starting up a two player game.
"What happened today?" He asked, while having his eyes trained on the game. I heaved a sigh, before answering.
"Nothing, just a mistake on my part." He looked at me quickly through the corner of his eyes, before watching the game again. We played the game for a while, being stupid but bored. That is the one thing that I hate about being immortal; you have nothing important to do. You can't sleep, don't care about school, since you have attended it for almost 50 years, and to top it all off, I don't have someone special with me that can occupy me. Emmett has Rosalie, Jasper has Alice, and Carlisle has Esme. I'm always the odd one out. That is one of the things I remember about my Human life. I was always the odd one out; not having many friends, or boyfriends. I hated it.
When the time ran around to about eight o'clock, we all met in the living room, ready for our family hunting trip.
"So, where do we want to go?" Carlisle asked.
"Montana, no… Texas, no… Wisconsin," Emmett listed off. I shook my head at his childish ways.
"Let's go to Montana, and then maybe we can go to Alaska for a while, to visit the Denali's," I answered.
"Good idea, Bella," Esme answered sweetly. I nodded my head and smiled sadly at her.
"I have to go to the school quickly, to pick my car up, so I'll be a little behind," I said. They nodded their heads, before departing with their respected couples, to the garage. I heard the cars roar to life, and then the squealing of tires as the raced out into the night. I ran up to my room and grabbed my bag, filled with clothes and other unnecessary stuff, before racing out the door, headed to the school.
When I reached the school parking lot, it was mostly empty, except for my car, and two cars in the middle of the lot. My eye vision was able to identify that one of the cars was a red rabbit and the other was a silver Volvo; Edward's car. I saw three people standing in the middle of the two cars, talking in low murmurs, but I could still hear them. I tried to sneak quietly over to my Ferrari, not wanting to attract any attention. When I reached my car, I unlocked it quietly, and tried to get in to the driver side seat, but an unmistakably velvety voice caught my attention.
"Bella?" he yelled in a question like state. I sighed softly, before pulling my body out of the car. I saw Edward looking over here, in narrowed eyes, trying to see if the figure by my car was me. I started walking toward them, not knowing who the other person was, that was following Edward, until the stench hit my nose. I crinkled my nose in disgust, before stopping in the middle of our cars.
"Hey! Where did you run off to today?" Edward asked when the three of them were close enough to see me.
"Nowhere special," I said in a tight voice, keeping my eyes trained on the mutts. I immediately remembered them from our earlier encounter; Jacob and the Female. I sighed and looked at Edward. He was watching me with wary eyes.
"Thought you had already left," He said again. I smiled slightly at him, before pointing over to my car.
"Couldn't go anywhere without my car, now can I?" I answered. He looked over at the car, before I saw the light blush warm his cheeks. I chuckled softly, as he refused to make eye contact with me, as he found that his feet were the most interesting thing ever.
"Right," he mumbled.
"Did you get lost in the woods?" the one female mutt asked in a snotty manner. I growled quietly at him, quiet enough that Edward could not here, but the mutts could here loud and clear. They stiffened their stances, as they narrowed their eyes at me.
"Leah!" Edward said in disgust. So the female mutt had a name. I snorted quietly at Edward trying to stand up for me.
"No, actually I didn't. I found my way back to my house, thank you for asking," I said in disgust as well. The atmosphere fell quiet for a second, before I broke it.
"So, I got to leave, my Family already started heading to Alaska," I said quietly to Edward. He bit his bottom lip for a second, before nodding and making eye contact.
"How long are you going to be gone?" He asked.
"A week or so," I said quietly. He inhaled in surprise for a second before nodding.
"I'll miss you in Biology," He said quietly. I heard Leah snort silently. I narrowed my eyes at her, wishing that she would disappear.
"I'm sure that Stanley will keep you company," I laughed. Edward made a face in disgust, as he snorted and shuffled his feet.
"Right; Like I would let Stanley near me," He laughed. I laughed for a second, before tuning my back and started heading toward my car again.
"See you in a week Bella," I heard Edward yell out. I smiled for a second, before raising my hand and waving at him over my back. I got in to my car and raced out of the parking lot, seeing Edward wave at me as I passed them.
The ride to Montana took longer than I thought. When I arrived to the 'Welcome to Montana sign,' I took my phone out and looked at the text message that Emmett sent me, saying their location. I arrived at Bitterroot National forest, where I took the lead of the faint smell of my family. After five minutes or so, I saw my family perched on a couple of boulders, waiting for me.
"Hey," I said as I sat on a boulder next to Alice.
"Say good-bye to lover-boy?" Emmett laughed. I growled at him, narrowing my eyes.
"If you have a death Wish, then I surly can make that come true," I snarled. They laughed at my threat. I jumped off the boulder and ran further into the forest, trying to find a scent to overcome my thirst. I took down two elk and a grizzly bear, satisfying my thirst for a while. I met up with my family again, and we departed to make the even longer journey to Alaska. Carlisle had already called up Eleazar and Carmen and told them about our visiting. We hunted for a little more, until the sun set behind the horizon, and the darkness crawled in. We raced to our cars, having a silly competition of who could beat who. Between Emmett and Jasper who were racing, I knew that I couldn't bet against Alice. Jasper won as usual. Emmett threw a fit, but inside he knew that he stood no chance. I stood, leaning against my car, looking up at the moon, and the stars. I wonder if Edward was watching. I laughed to myself as I got into my car, and let it purr to life. One day down, six more to go. I could handle that, right?
Okay so Chapter 4 is done! What did you think? Should I do an EPOV, and see how he is handling the separation?
