I feel like I'm fallen and I know I better awaken

Chapter Six: Renee

Renee looked like Bella, except for the laugh lines. She loved girly clothes, and adored shopping. Bella wished it was her mother in the car with her and Edward instead of Alice. Alice was dragging the two shopping, and the two both had a bad feeling about this.
To Bella, Alice seemed to be the girly type that would pick out too tight clothes and shirts that could fit a six year old.
To Edward, Alice seemed to have an idea other than shopping. As he knew, she was only here because of the task.

When they finally arrived at the mall, Alice was quick to drag them to an expensive store. Bella took one look at the price tag on a sweater and nearly choked on her gum.
"I can't afford this," she whispered, putting her head in her hands.
"Are you kidding? Bella, I'm paying!" Alice said. She patted Bella on the lower back and Edward noticed her slip something into Bella's pocket. He wanted to speak up, but thought she was just slipping a few bucks into her pocket.
"Alice, really, I can't let you do that!" Bella said, her voice shaking. Alice pouted and hung her head.
"O-okay, I guess will just go Ardene's or something," she said sadly. Bella sighed and thanked her for understanding. She also apologized.
The three started to walk out of the store when an alarm went off. They froze, and Bella spun around and looked at Alice and Edward. Neither of them would have stolen, right? A store clerk walked over and made them spread out their arms and legs. She ran a strange bar over Edward, nothing. She ran the strange bar over Alice, nothing. When she ran it near Bella's back pocket, it started to flash and beep like crazy.
"Empty your pockets," the clerk ordered, crossing her arms and tapping her foot. Bella dug into her pockets, pulling out a pack of stride gum, her wallet, her license, her school ID, spare change and a picture. Then, she dug into her back pocket and froze.
"Oh no," she whispered. What she pulled out wasn't money like Edward thought. In Bella's hand, was a shiny, unused tube of cherry lipstick with a sticker on it for a price tag. She store clerk held out her hand and Bella dropped the tube quickly in her hand.
"Why, Ms Swan?" asked the clerk.
"I apologise, I promise to tell you the truth about what happened since I walked in as well. Please don't call my father," she pleaded. The store clerk nodded.
"Of course, sweetie. I won't be calling your father, but you won't be allowed back in here for a while. I'm sorry Ms Swan, but these are the precautions if you don't want us to call the police," said the store clerk. Bella nodded and hung her head down, ashamed.

When Bella arrived home that night, she went straight to bed, ignoring her father's questions. She wanted to sleep, wanted that familiar darkness to swallow her. She also wanted to dreams, but that was the one wish that wouldn't be supplied. She didn't bother to pray that night, she just went straight to sleep.

The dark is cold, chilling, and it shows Bella's life since the age of six. Endless nights with her father out in the woods, watching people scream out her mothers name. Nothing.
She looked up and a small light shown down on her.
"My baby, I'm so proud of you," she heard a sweet voice say. It was Renee. She breathed in the ever familiar scent of her mother. It was like lilacs and upturned soil. Suddenly, the scene that Bella was in disappeared. Bella reached her hands out I front of her and gasped. So much blood covered her hands. She felt weak, vulnerable and... disgusted. She looked up to see a man with silver hair and dark, onyx eyes.
"Hello Bella," he said through his teeth.
"Who are you?" she asked, panic rising in her eyes.
"You know me by many names: Satan, the Devil, Lucifer... Edward's father," he said. Bella shook her head and bit her lip.
"No, you can't be... you can-," something slicked for her then. "Edwards... father?" Lucifer nodded his head slightly.
"Oh, he didn't tell you? Edward is only here to-,"

Lucifer smiled to himself as he noticed the dream evaporate and Bella wake up screaming.
"Please don't be true!" she cried, covering her ears and letting the tears wash down her cheeks.
"Good job, Jasper," Lucifer said, turning to a golden haired boy.
"Thank you My Lord," Jasper said in a monotone.
"Soon, you will be able to join your precious Alice," Lucifer cooed, grabbing Jasper's chin between his two fingers and forcing his face upward. Jaspers blue eyes avoided Lucifer's, and his chin was released.
"Go," Lucifer ordered.

Uh-oh, Lucifer's a little pissed. How will this affect the others?
