Chapter Six
"All is fair in love and war, right?"
I watched in silence as Edward slowly removed his white shirt and bore the pale flesh of his chest to the crowd. I was thankful that not one person really seemed to notice him, and stifled a laugh as the people shuffled past.
Then I heard it, a quick intake of breath. I looked over my shoulder and sure enough a small girl holding onto her father's hand was gazing up at Edward; her eyes wide with fright and wonder. I glared at her but returned by gaze to Edward who was just barely moving into the sun's wake. I sighed under my breath and readied myself for the attack when I heard Jane's small voice in my head.
Confusion washed over me in waves and I stumbled back a step. How was I able to hear her voice. I gazed at Edward for a while before I realized I had completely overlooked what I had done. During the close contact of only the few hours we spent together I must have learned his ability. Was it because of Aro's tactile telepathy that I had learned a new form so easily?
Silently I tuned in on her mind, and my eyes snapped to the crowd. It only took a partial moment to realize what was soon going to happen.
"She's alive," I breathed to Edward just as a curly haired girl dove forward into Edward's arms. Without thinking my eyes zeroed in on hers and narrowed into a menacing glare, and her face pulled back in fear.
"Edward," She gasped frantically. "You need to get out of the light." I giggled under my breath and her gaze returned to mine for a split second before returning to Edward's.
"Amazing," Edward whispered, his exquisite voice making my heart wrench. "Carlisle was right." I stood in the darkness eying them and sighed under my breath.
I should probably tell Edward to move, but do I really care at this point... I thought to myself before listening in on Jane who was quickly closing in on us. She was imagining Edward and Bella crumpled on the ground and I grimaced in disgust.
"I can't believe how quick Bayleigh is. She must be very good, I didn't feel a thing." Edward's voice sounded amused and I stifled a laugh, but I couldn't hold it all back. Did he really think that he had died and went to heaven. That was all too hilarious.
"You're alive you twit," I smiled halfheartedly before walking to his side and forcing him back into the shadows. Bella stumbled a bit at the force of the movement, but I caught her easily and swiftly picked her up into my arms.
Comprehension flickered in Edward's eyes and he frowned at me, and Bella gasped under her breath. She must have thought his frustration was pointed at her.
Poor Bella, I thought to myself before reaching out and dropping her into Edward's waiting arms. He cringed at the high note of anger in my voice, and gave me a fleeting apologetic glance that I assume Bella was not meant to see.
"Who is she?" Bella's small voice rand out extremely loud and incredibly close for such a small girl. Bella's gaze flickered from my face to Edward's and I crossed my arms across my chest and laughed as Edward mentally pleaded with the girl to forget about me.
"Are you afraid?" I smirked before turning toward the alley way that Jane was coming down; followed by Felix and Demetri. She motioned for me to come, and I nodded at Edward and Bella to lead the way.
"I don't think I'll be needing you services anymore Bayleigh," I could hear the double meaning clearly in his voice and my eyes narrowed.
"Which one?" I challenged, using Bella's intuitive nature to my advantage. Edward cringed and the memory was displayed clearly in his mind. I could hear him groan under his breath slightly, but not loud enough for Bella to notice. Her gaze was locked on me as she sized me up. It took all my power not to phase over to her and whisper boo in her ear.
"Enough," Jane's high, reedy voice silenced Edward before he could speak a syllable. His mouth fell in defeat, and I raised an eyebrow.
"It looks like you're more afraid than Bella is Edward," I breathed. Bella's eyes went wide in shock and she looked up at Edward before returning back to me for the millionth time. "Would you like to know a little secret Bella?" I giggled, my gaze locking onto hers. I could feel her trying to look away, and fear began to rattle her as she realized she couldn't.
"Your darling Edward isn't the charming prince-"
"Bayleigh!" Edward's voice rang out in the silence. Jane snickered from behind us. She was enjoying this almost as much as she enjoyed burning people alive.
"Yes?" I replied acidly, releasing Bella from her trance as I turned my gaze back to him. I was being mean, but I didn't care. I was sick of being the other woman. Sick of feeling so wonderful, just to be let down.
"Bayleigh? I think we need to wrap things up." Jane called once she finally calmed herself. I nodded and motioned for Edward and Bella to go ahead again just when a small female vampire danced to Edward's side. She was just barely taller than Jane, and I wondered if she was as talented as Edward. I peered into her mind and her brows furrowed before gazing up at Edward. He didn't return her gaze but only flicked his eyes towards me before moving forward.
Is she new to the Volturi guard? The golden eyed girl thought to Edward. His gaze only flickered to mine again before returning to the back of Bella's hair. This time the girl turned to me, her gorgeous doe eyes taking in my appearance.
She's so pretty, and stylish though. She can't possibly work with them. The girl groaned in her mind, as if trying to pin me down as someone else. I smiled at her, embarrassment causing my face to turn a light pink shade. Alice gasped audibly and Edward chuckled darkly under his breath.
"Different indeed." Edward breathed to Alice, her eyes somehow growing larger as she wondered how her brother knew me when she didn't.
Sounds like you've got some explaining to do. Alice quipped, as we came to the end of the dark corridor. Quickly she slipped through the shoot that lead to the castle, followed by Bella. Felix went after her, then Demetri followed by Jane. She gave me a quick look before turning to Edward.
"Make it fast." She commanded before disappearing.
"Bayleigh..." Edward groaned and reached out for my hand. I gazed at him for what seemed like ages before he continued. "I'm so sorry. Can I ever make this up to you?" He finally asked the question he'd been mulling over since Bella had came crashing into his arms. He had originally thought that killing him would even the score, but now he refused death's cold grasp.
"Surprise me." I whispered seductively, drawing him in with my smell. He groaned again and stumbled forward. A war was waging in his mind as he tried to figure out how to react, and ended up falling into my arms and pushing my back up against the wall. He grunted lightly and stood up straight, his eyes searching mine. I could feel the confusion in his heart sending waves of agony rushing over me.
"Bayleigh... I can't do this... I just..." He choked out in desperation. His mind trying to force me out of his mind, but I knew that in the short time we had known each other I had carved away a piece of Edward's stone heart. I had stolen a piece of him that he once swore only belonged to the girl who was waiting for him only moments away.
"Well I guess I'm used to this. Failed love should be my middle name or something?" I whispered, tears beginning to well up in my eyes as I tried to avoid his gaze. He took in a quick breath as he watched the silent tears roll over my cheeks, and moaned before falling to his knees. His hands clenched around my legs as he buried his face against the jean fabric wrapped tightly around my skin.
"This wasn't supposed to happen this way..." Edward moaned in agony. Slowly he pressed his lips against my thigh and the muscles in his hands began to relax, pulling me to him rather than holding me away. I sighed angrily and knelt down beside him, cupping his pale cheek in my hand. His eyes closed as he leaned into my hand and I rubbed his shoulder with my other hand.
"This is all my-"
"Don't you dare." Edward's eyes snapped open and his hands reached up to sandwich my face. "This was not your fault. I wanted you to follow me. I wanted you to want me. I wanted you to save me." His words came out in a quiet rush as he tried to explain everything he had been feeling before. "I know Aro wanted you to follow as well, and recklessly hoped that you would not deny his will."
"Mind reader," I teased awkwardly. He smiled an unusually gorgeous crooked smile and stood up, leaving his hand out for me. I took his hand in mine though I didn't need the support, and he pulled me tightly into his arms. I didn't know what had gotten into him, and for some reason I couldn't read his thoughts but whatever it was; I liked it.
"Do you... Could you.. I mean..." He stumbled over several different questions before finally reaching the one he wanted. "Will I ever see you again?" My eyes crinkled slightly and I pulled away form our tight embrace, but his arms never left my back.
"Before... Before Bell... She came to you... I was thinking about what to do. I don't know if Aro would ever let me leave, and I was so terrified... But now that Bell.. She is here, I think I have an idea." I mumbled the words, trying not to cry whenever I thought of the second stupid human to ruin my life.
"Idea?" Edward's whispered his mind probing mine as he looked for an opening, and sighing happily when I let him in. Quickly I thought over how I could convince Aro to allow the three to go free, and Edward chuckled quietly. "I love you," He whispered without thinking. I smiled and looked deep into his eyes. Slowly he leaned over and kissed my lips. It started out soft, but when he breathed in he couldn't help but forge on. His instincts would not allow it. His hands tightened around my back and our bodies fused together, and the kiss deepened into a passionate roller-coaster.
"Edward," Alice and Bella called together. I sighed in frustration and Edward growled. The reality hit him. He took a slow step back and we untangled ourselves from each other before fixing our clothes.
"Shall we?" I whispered, a small smile plain on my face. Edward gazed into my eyes and smiled too. His hand reaching out to my before his lips touched my cheek. Without thinking my hands flew out and forced him towards me and he laughed playfully.
"I'm not used to being so dominated," Edward teased. My thoughts drifted to the human girl and instead of being upset I laughed.
"I'm a whole new species of woman." I giggled before motioning for Edward to slid down, and following only moments after him.
"What took so long?" Alice seethed, a terrified Bella tightly grasping her small frame as her eyes jumped from vampire to vampire. Edward grimaced as he imagined Alice seeing everything, but I only smiled.
Seems a certain vision seeker can't see me, I threw my thought out at Edward, and his form relaxed slightly. It didn't bother me that I was his dirty little secret for now, because I knew in the end I would win. I would find a way...
"This way," Jane's voice rang out through the closed in halls as she turned to descend into the darkness. Demetri came to stand at my right side, and Felix paused to decide whether to join us or follow Jane. In the end he decided to risk his chances with walking at my left side rather than following Jane. Her mood was too full of excitement, and he didn't want to be fried first if at all. He must have been able to tell that I was in a good mood as well, because everyone here knew I was worse than Jane when it came to being on the wrong side of the fence.
"I see you're feeling better," Demetri whispered nudging my shoulder. I could hear Edward hiss quietly under his breath and laughed at Felix's confused expression.
"You want to fight Eddy-boy," Felix threatened. I could see Bella flinch and her head swivel toward Edward in wonder. She wouldn't have heard the faint sound, I turned the to Alice knowing she must have but her face was turned toward Jane. Her concentration was focused on where they were headed.
"If you want to fight Felix we can always go at it again," I teased, and the large muscular man flinched ever so slightly.
"I'd rather not." He whispered before kicking the ground. I could hear Edward chuckle under his breath and Felix crossed his arms in anger. I returned my gaze to Edward and yearned to stand beside him, and grimaced when I saw how his hands were rubbing Bella's bumpy skin. Was she cold? I could fix that. Quicky I caught up to them and removed my cloak from my shoulders and handed it to her. Her eyes went wide and I chuckled lightly as I read the different emotions clearly. Fear was inevitable, Wonder was expected, but what confused me was the silent urge to know me.
"You're Bayleigh right?" Her small voice questioned her intelligence. I smiled, somehow delighted by her curiousity. "How old are you?" I grimaced at first, but laughed anyway.
"Seventeen." Her face fell in an all new spasm of pain and sorrow.
"How long have you been seventeen?" She whispered. I could faintly sense this was a question she had voiced before, and quickly looked up at Edward as I imagined her curiosity mirrored on him.
"I was born October thirteenth of 1833 on a Sunday to be exact."
"So you'll be... 173 this year?" Bella asked, wonder obvious in her voice.
"Not exactly."
"How so?"
"How to put it... When you were born how old were you on your first birthday?"
"One?" I laughed heartily at the tone of her voice.
"It's not a trick question darling, you're right. You see, on my first birthday I was seven."
"How is that possible?" Alice chimed in. Her curiosity raging furiously.
"Look at my eyes Bella, and you too Alice if you wish." I said closing the space between Bella's face and my own to allow her to see them in the darkness.
"Blue?" Her voice was confused this time. "Vampires can't have blue eyes... Can they?"
"Technically no."
"Then how?"
"No." Edward's voice sliced through the mood like a knife severing all sound. The only one that continued was Bella.
"Tell me please?" She pleaded as Edward forced her to settle on the other side of his body. Her hand reached for me, and Edward quickly took it in his. I gazed into his eyes and nodded. He didn't want me to answer because he didn't want Bella to get any idea's on the matter. I remained silent and Bella stared at me from Edward's side.
"Do you have any special abilities?" She asked then. I figured she had let the question go, but I was dead wrong. "Like changing the color of your eyes?" I sighed and avoided her main question.
"I call it Reciprothy." My eyes were locked on Edward's and he nodded. This conversation was apparently touchable.
"What's that?"
"It means that with contact; mental or physical, I can learn and reciprocate the abilities of others."
"How many?"
"To tell you the truth I am still unsure." I sighed as I thought of it. "I've become to notice that at some times if I don't regularly speak with the said person I am reciprocating that I will slowly lose the power I could once wield. Though I have also noticed that I have been able to use a few without any sort of serious dwindling effects."
"What kind? Is there a lot? Can I see them?" Bella had somehow managed to travel around Edward and was now beside me again, her hand reaching out to touch me. I slowly reached out my hand to touch her too, my curiosity turning against me.
"I'm not so sure you will enjoy all of them," I whispered causing Jane to laugh and Edward to yank Bella away from me.
"Edward!" We protested. He glared at me and nodded toward Jane.
"I would never do that to her!" I shouted furious, his gaze remained frigid and cold but slowly he allowed Bella to take my hand once again.
"What wouldn't you do?" Bella asked her other hand unconsciously leaving Edward as she slowly began to cling to me. I chuckled under my breath and my eyes flicked to Edward. He was flabbergasted by the way Bella had attached herself to me, and for some reason I enjoyed it. Not because Edward seemed so confused by it, but because for some reason I enjoyed this human's company.
"Jane is Bayleigh with you?" I heard Aro's voice sigh softly just as I was about to answer Bella's latest question. I could feel her body shake and I instantly felt very protective of the girl. She was a few inches taller than me, but I quickly reached up and stroked her chocolate brown hair before pulling her body slightly behind my own.
"Bayleigh dear, she's with you." Aro clapped his hands together as he quickly rushed to my side to get a better look at her. "She seems to have taken quite a liking to you." He smiled obnoxiously and turned to Edward.
"Aren't you happy I didn't give you what you wanted, Edward?" Scolded Edward like an old grandfather who always had to be right.
"Yes Aro, I am," Edward replied. His body was slowly creeping in front of Bella's and mine.
"I do love a happy ending," Aro sighed. "They are so rare. But I want the whole story. How did this happen? Alice? Bayleigh maybe?" His misty eyes traveled to where Alice had been standing, his eyes curious. "You're brother seemed to think you infallible, but apparently there was some mistake."
"Oh, I'm far from infallible." She flashed a dazzling smile, seemingly at ease though her hands were balled into tight fists. "As you can see today, I cause problems as often as I cure them."
"You're too modest," Aro chided. "I've seen some of your amazing exploits, and I must admit that with the exception to Bayleigh's gift, yours is unlike anything I have ever observed. Wonderful!"
Alice's gaze flickered to Edward's and Aro didn't miss this.
"I'm sorry, we haven't been properly introduced have we? It's just that I fell as if I know you already, and I tend to get a bit ahead of myself. Your brother introduced us yesterday in a peculiar way. You see, I share some of your brother's talent, only I am limited in a way he is not." Aro shook his head; his tone envious.
"And also exponentially more powerful," Edward added dryly. He looked at Alice as he swiftly explained. "Aro needs physical contact to hear your thoughts, but he hears much more than I do. You know I can only hear what is passing through your mind at the time. Aro hears every thought you've ever had." Alice raised her eyebrows, and Edward inclined his head.
Aro didn't miss that either.
"But to be able to hear from a distance..." Aro sighed, gesturing towards the two of them, and the exchange that had just taken place. "That would be so convenient." Aro turned then to look at me and reached his hand out to Bella. "May I?" Aro was clearly speaking to Edward, but Bella's brows crumpled in confusion.
"Ask her," Edward suggested in a flat tone.
"Of course, how rude of me!" Aro exclaimed. "Bella," he addressed her directly now. "I'm fascinated by the fact that you are the one exception to Edward's impressive talent, and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to allow me to try as well. Will you be the exception for me as well?" Aro's gaze flickered to mine and I smirked for a moment before returning to my stone pose. He knew I was another exception, but intentionally so rather than unconsciously.
Slowly Aro reached out as if to shake Bella's hand and pressed his skin against her hand.
"So very interesting," He said as he released her hand and drifted away, allowing Bella the opportunity to cling even closer to me. "I wonder if she is immune to any of our other talents... Jane dear?"
"No!" I snarled without thinking. Aro's gaze quickly snapped to mine, but waved me away. Bella's, Edward's, and Alice's gazes were now fixed on me. I could feel Bella nuzzle into my hair as she tried to hide herself. I could only imagine how scary it was for a stranger to try and protect her. It must have made the situation that much more terrifying.
"Yes master?" Jane smiled happily up at Aro. I was truly snarling now, and the three only began to grow more curious... and so was I... What was it about this girl that was causing me to turn against my leader and his coven. What was it that was making me feel so disgusted by the brief and beautiful moments that Edward and I had shared together. Everyone else ignored me as if foul moods really were my norm.
"I was wondering, my dear one, if Bella is immune to you." Jane turned towards us with a beatific smile as Caius and some of the others ghosted forward to watch.
"Don't," I heard Alice cry before I noticed Edward spring forward toward Jane. Before I could even tense Edward was on the ground writhing in pain.
"Stop!" Bella shrieked, her arms releasing me as she tried to jump forward. I wrapped one of my arms around her and motioned for Alice to take her. Quickly the girl came to my side and guided Bell into her arms. Once free of Bella I ghosted forward and touched Edward's forehead instantly blinding him though I knew that would not be much better than the physical agony Jane had put him through. He sighed though and Aro called for Jane to release Edward. She glared at me but looked away after a moment to gaze lovingly up at Aro.
"Edward," I called releasing him from the blackness. He opened his eyes and relaxed his jaw.
"And that's what I find interesting..." He whispered, pushing himself from the ground and moving toward Bella. Aro gave me a pointed look and I sighed.
"Edward," I called to him again. "Allow me."
If this works I can make it as painless as possibly. Like a paper cut or something.
I will kill you if you hurt her...
I'll be careful, I swear my life on it.
Edward dropped his hands and Bella gazed up at him for a moment before looking over at me. I held my arms out to her, and she slowly stepped towards me. She was very intuitive. She knew what was coming, and most likely wanted to protect Edward. When she finally reached me I pulled her into a hug and slowly tried to envelup her mind.
"Bella, you are incredible." I whispered into her curly brown hair and released her. She smiled and her pinks turned pink before she returned to Edward.
"Ha, ha, ha," Aro chuckled. "This is wonderful! Bayleigh come to me darling and let me see." I could feel Jane sending her power towards Bella, but knew she would be able to do nothing. Eventually she quite and stomped off to stand by Alec.
"Astonishing!" Aro shouted again before releasing my hand. "Not only has this girl confounded us all but she has drawn on the affections of one of our own." I grimaced and my face turned red with embarrassment.
"Sounds like Bayleigh's a lesbian," Felix whispered to Demetri.
"Well if anyone could make that happen it would be you Felix," I seethed before turning back to Bella. "She has grown on me rather quickly hasn't she. Even for a human she is rather intelligible and very intuitive. I enjoy her company nothing more." I smiled towards Bella and she gave a small embarrassed smile back before turning back to look up at Edward who was also smiling bemusedly at me.
"So what do we do with you now?" Aro sighed.
Edward and Alice stiffened. This was the part they had obviously been waiting for. I grimaced and my body began to tremble slightly.
"I don't suppose you've changed your mind?" Aro asked Edward hopefully.
"I'd... rather... not."
"Alice?" Aro asked still hopeful. "Would you perhaps be interested in joining us?"
"No, thank you," Alice replied.
"And you Bella?" Aro raised his eyebrow.
"No, thank you," Bella's voice sounded shaken and came out rather hushed, but our sensitive ears easily picked up on the sound.
"That's unfortunate. Such a waste."
I could sense Edward's fury, but he was unsure of how to approach Aro. Quietly I slipped my hand into Aro's and he silently mulled over my idea's. Edward's face slowly turned hopeful and his gaze was fixed on me. Admiration clear in his expression.
"This could work," Aro whispered still deciding whether he should allow the three of them to leave under my supervision. "Though Bella is human..." I squeezed Aro's hand and allowed him to see an image of Bella standing in the middle of a forest, her eyes crimson as she preyed upon a large mountain lion.
"What do you think Aro?" I asked finally as he removed his hand from mine.
"First I must ensure that Alice truly plans to change Bella before hand," Aro turned his gaze back towards Alice and stretched out his hand. "I can't let you leave knowing that Bella is human and knows our secrets..." Alice was silent for a moment, but eventually stepped forward to take Aro's hand. Edward snarled furiously but I waved him off as Aro smiled in delight.
"I ask that the four of you stay until nightfall," Aro said before moving toward Marcus and Caius to explain the situation. Caius was furious, but Marcus was still as unsurprised as always.
"We must hurry Edward," Bayleigh said quickly as Bayleigh ghosted to his side. "Heidi is back with dinner." Bayleigh whispered the last part in his ear and Bayleigh lifted Bella into my arms. "Follow me and I'll explain when we reach a safe spot." The four of us quickly fled from the room, and didn't stop until we made it to my room.
"This is my room Bella," I tried making small talk with her to keep her from asking to many questions. I quickly ghosted into my closet while Edward and Bella sat together on the edges of my bed, and a curious Alice followed slowly behind me.
"What did Aro mean when he said the four of us?" Bella whispered to Edward. I would have answered myself if it weren't for the fact I'm sure Edward could hear everything that passed mentally between Aro and myself.
"I was wondering about that myself," Alice wondered allowed as she began scouring through the mounds of clothes I had strewn about the closets floor.
"Bayleigh saved our lives," Edward stated simply as he softly stroked Bella's hair. She looked extremely tired and I yawned just looking at her.
"I can see that," Bella snipped as she looked herself over. "That's not what I asked."
"She's coming to Forks as a lookout, but what Aro doesn't know is that she is coming to Forks to join our family and protect us from them rather than spy on us."
Alice froze for a moment but continued on looking through everything. Bella took in a sharp breath, her worry apparent on her face.
"Where will she stay?" Bella squeaked, her voice giving away her thoughts. She obviously was imagining me married to Edward, and staying in his room. I was surprised when it was Alice who spoke rather than Edward who seemed at a loss for words.
"You want Bayleigh to be your new sister don't you?" Alice laughed happily as she slipped on one of my shirts over the one she was wearing. I giggled under my breath and continued taking the clothes off the hangers and tossing them to the floor. "She's already saved your life once, maybe she can help us next time you get into trouble." Alice teased her, and Bella turned bright red.
"Oh." Bella whispered hugging Edward closer to her. "I thought... well, I would love a new sister." Bella smiled at me hopefully and I returned the gesture though I was oddly taken aback by how quickly Alice and Bella had accepted me. It had been years before the other members of the Volturi truly accepted me, and some still didn't.
"Where did you get such cute clothes?" Alice moaned enviously as she jumped to her feet and hugged me. I giggled happily and returned the hug, wrapping my arms tightly around her. It felt so good to be honestly happy about something so simple again.
"Italy is a wonderful place," I said finally and Alice nodded. "We'll have to go shopping together sometime soon." Alice beamed at me and jumped up and down. Bella only sighed in relaxation, probably overjoyed by the fact that Alice had a new shopping partner. And Edward... He only stared... His mind was still on the moment we shared together before I had met Bella...
After a few hours Alice and I finally zipped up my last suit case. It wouldn't have taken so long if she hadn't insisted on seeing every piece displayed for her, and then forced me to watch as she paraded around in my clothes. Most of the jeans were too long, but everything else looked wonderful on her too.
"I think it should be about time for us to be able to head out." I said stretching my arms and rubbing my eyes. "I've got a 2010 Suzuki Hayabusa, and if you guys don't mind taking my bags in whatever car you came in... I can just follow behind you?"
"You're going to get helmet hair," Alice chimed in, but already had two of my bags in hand. Bella looked like she was hiding something, and Edward only looked worried.
"I'm a vampire too for goodness sake," I chuckled and grabbed the two of my other bags. "Edward could you get the last one, and Bells could you get my purse? It's on the floor under your foot." Bella jumped up quickly and mumbled an apology but I waved her off as we headed out.
When we finally reached the surface the sun was just barely passing over the mountains far in the distance and I sighed as the last of the warm late afternoon air gusted across the land. We moved quickly and only slowed for Bella when she couldn't keep up. Eventually we came to a rather deserted road and Alice dashed down the street and disappeared around a corner, returning only seconds later with a black 2010 BMW M6.
"Sorry," Alice gestured toward the dashboard, "There wasn't much to choose from." Edward and I chuckled under our breath together and helped Bella into the car before stashing my bags into the trunk.
"You know Alice," Edward said as he climbed into the back of the car. "Not all cars can be 911 Turbos." I closed the door behind him and quickly sprinted off to get my bike. It wasn't too far surprisingly, I had it stashed in an old rundown garage that I kept locked up at all times. I didn't have the key to the door so I smashed the lock and jumped on my bike and rolled it out of the door before slamming on the pedal and taking off after where I had left Alice, Bella, and Edward.
They weren't difficult to catch up to, Alice was racing ahead at who knows how fast but was leaving behind vague black skid lines where ever she turned. I giggled under my breath again and lent forward, thoroughly enjoying the way the wind blew my hair back as I imagined my new life with the Cullens.
