Chapter 6
What the hell?!
Author's Note: Is it just me, or does no one ever review anymore??
Unexpectedly, Alice jumped with such power, and landed on Jake. She and Jake rolled on the ground, and I jumped back in surprise. The boy, who I heard was Jasper from Alice, grabbed at her, and then managed to rip her off. My eyes just widened with shock as this rabid girl was thrashing around.
What was going on around here?
"Alice! We don't want a repeat of last year, do we?!" The boy, who I believe is Jasper, said, still holding her arms back.
Alice just glared back at Jasper. She finally spoke, letting herself go limper in his arms. He didn't let his guard drop though.
"You don't know what was going on! This mutt tried to steal Bella away from us! He tried to ruin our family by taking it apart one-by-one!" Alice then chuckled, "But Bella would never want a mongrel like him in her life, so she just dropped him to be with someone better."
"Alice," Jasper whispered, and she looked back at him. Suddenly, even I felt sorry for Jake. It made me feel sick even. Guilt, oh how everyone loathes it. I stood up, carefully, and hobbled over to Jake. He was staring out into (I guessed) space. I plopped myself next to him, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Oh, Jake. I'm so sorry." I said quietly. He just sighed softly, and leaned into me. He squeezed his eyes shut. Then, I was just suddenly blinded with rage. I jumped up to see Alice glaring at us. I hopped over to her, and I glared right back.
"What the fuck gave you the right to say those words?!" I yelled at Alice, and she stepped away from Jasper.
"Why should I care what you say? With your pathetic body, I could kill you in mere...oh...seconds!"
"Like I give a shit!" Man was I pissed off. "As long as I die knowing that Jake is fine, I would happily succumb to it!"
Alice looked absolutely infuriated. Her face was contorted, but surprising it wasn't red. "You think that you know what's going on, huh? Well, your lover almost killed my brother! You should have seen him then, and maybe you would have second thoughts about loving him."
"I don't really care about Edward and Jake right now! This is between you and me! Now tell me, why are you here?"
"That's none of your business, but I was...hunting."
I laughed darkly...man; I have never gotten this mad before. "Of course, you're just a leech like the one that broke my leg."
Alice's breath got heavy and ragged, and at the blink of an eye, she had grabbed me and sunk her teeth into my neck. Everything became extremely fuzzy. All I could feel was the pain throbbing in my neck.
"Karleigh!"
I heard Jake, but I couldn't open my eyelids. They were too tempted to make me fall asleep. Suddenly, I felt someone grab me. It wasn't Jake. He was too cold. Then, something pressed against my neck. It hurt, a lot.
"Uugggh," I said groggily, and I reached around for my surroundings. I quickly felt myself getting back to dreamland, and I gladly let it welcome me.
Man, what a day this has been...
"-and I think that all of the venom is gone. You have no idea how sorry I am for what happened. I still can't believe that Alice would do something like that."
"Bella, she broke the rule. That one rule that bound the treaty. You know that my brothers would be more than happy to rid of a few more...vampires."
"I know, so we are leaving in about an hour. We just have to get Jasper and Alice calmed down. When Jasper smelled that blood, he just took off. It would have been best, for he hasn't learned how to fully control himself."
I sat up and rubbed my head. It was pounding, and my eyes felt like staying closed. Somehow, I did open them, and I saw that I was in Jake's room. He had clothes strewn across the floor and there were a few CD's too.
"Jake," I said, and was surprised at how gravelly my voice sounded. He and Bella were sitting in chairs, and Jake stood up and he walked over to the bed. He sat near my legs. I grabbed his hand, and he smiled at me. I glanced over at Bella, who was acting as if she was staring at a picture on the wall.
"Jake, I was wondering if I could talk to Bella, alone."
"Sure, honey. I'll just be downstairs. Call me if you need me."
I nodded and he left the room. Bella looked around the room once more, as if she could somehow stop the conversation I knew that we were going to hold. She finally sighed, and walked over to me. I sat up, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed.
"So," I started out. This was going to be a long day. "When were you going to tell me that you were a vampire?"
