Chapter 7: Consequences of the Heart
Bella didn't sleep at all last night. She was way too nervous. She just sat there on the bed until the sun shone through the window. There was a knock at her door.
"Bells?" It was Charlie.
"Yeah dad..."
He came in. "You feeling okay Bells?"
"Not really," she admitted. "I don't think I'm going to school today."
"Alright," Charlie said. "I gotta go to work, I hope you feel better."
"Yeah," Bella said quietly after he left. "So do I."
After her dad left, she decided to go hop in the shower. When she got out, she went back in her room to find Jake sitting on her bed.
"Omg!" she said and hugged him as he stood.
She examined him, as usual, his face looked perfect. Any wounds that Edward might have inflicted on him would've healed by now.
She stroked his face.
"What's wrong?" Then a realization hit him. "He came to you first."
Bella nodded.
"I'm sorry Jake, I wasn't expecting him to come back, Alice must have told him."
Jake shook his head. "You don't have to apologize for him."
They sat on the bed.
"So what happened," Bella asked, she had to know.
"What do you think? He went crazy." Jake said bluntly.
"So, you two fought."
"Yeah, but it got broke up before it got too serious. The Cullens came and pulled Edward off and Sam restrained me."
"So what happened then?"
"Edward took off, he just ran."
Bella sat in silence. Now she was worried. She knew Edward had the tendency to get sucidal. But he made a promise to her. That he would never kill himself, even if she had died or wasn't with him. He had promised, but she didn't know for sure if that promise still held valid now she was with Jake. Their was really no telling what he would do next.
Jake cupped her chin. "You okay?"
"Yeah," she said. "Just thinking."
He kissed her. "Don't think, you'll only worry yourself sick."
Jake kissed her again, more deeply this time. He laid her down on the bed, still kissing her. He kissed down her face, murmuring, "Bella."
Suddenly there was a dragged out howl in the distance. Bella sighed.
"Shit," Jake grumbled. "I gotta.."
"Go, yeah I know." Bella said.
Jake jumped off the bed. "See ya later, honey."
Then he was out the window. Bella sighed again and sat up. Damn, now she had nothing to do. Then a thought occurred to her. She jumped up, changing and went out the door. Just as she was about to climb into her truck, she heard something.
It was very faint, but she definitely heard it. A rustling in the woods and a feeling that someone was watching her. As she walked towards the noise she could hear the echo of Edward's voice in her head telling her to stop. But she kept walking. She stepped through the trees and was met with silence. That's weird, she thought she heard something. The wolves would have been long gone by now, so who could it be? She kept walking. She reached the center of the woods, and that's when it happened.
Three vampires surrounded her. She recognized their faces; Jane, Felix, and Dimitri; Volturi.
"Well, look who we finally found." Felix said.
"You've been irritatingly hard to track these days," Dimitri commented.
Her heart pounded. "What do you want?"
"It has come to our attention that the Cullens are no longer here in Forks." Jane said.
Calm down, she told herself, don't show fear. "Why do you care?"
"You haven't forgotten the deal have you?" Jane said.
Damn! Over all this chaos, she'd completely forgotten about the Volturi! Vampire's had one rule: Keep the secret.
They'd found out about her last year. Aro said that either Edward change me, or I die. So I chose to be changed. But we're no longer together, damn.
"Of course not," Bella said.
"The Cullens can't protect you anymore," Dimitri sneered.
She knew what was about to happen, yet she wasn't afraid. Jane said, "Do it." and Dimitri jumped on her.
Suddenly she was aware that the wolves had shown up.
But it was too late. Dimitri had already sunk his teeth in before Jake tore him off. Dimitri shook him off, and he, Jane, and Felix fled.
Everything was incoherent, though. The venom was settling in, and it had already begun spreading.
