Chapter 3
Bella P.O.V
About 3 hours later
Therefore, the summary for the last three days is—(AN: The summary is not in anyone's point of view.)—Bella got abducted by three vampires while on a trip to Wal-Mart, the Cullen coven practically saved her life, she got changed into an Akedrial; a person that has his or her choice in when they stop aging so that they can live forever; if they don't get killed, has powers, including strength, customarily not including mind-reading.
Back to Bella's point of view
Right now I'm back at my own house; though the rest of the group is here with me; Alyssa and Mystic are in my room with me swooning over my huge closest (except for me), Jase, Hector, and Johnny are playing basketball outside and Aaron is talking to my mom and dad.
"Hey Bella," Alyssa started, "Do you have anything that plays music?" I nodded, "I'll go and turn it on." Banana Phone by Raffi was playing.
"Oh, meh god," Mystic was saying towards the middle of the song, "I like this song." Alyssa and I started laughing, but agreed with her.
After the song was over, we were talking about people we were not quite so fond of.
"Hey, do any of you peoples like Hannah Montana?" Lizzie, a nickname that I and Mystic had picked out for her, asked. "Sorry, I don't like her Liz." Mystic and I said simultaneously. We both looked at each other and burst out laughing, due to the thing we said at the same time. About a second or two after we started laughing, Lizzie joined in.
Quickly, Alyssa Granger, Mystic Smith, and I, Isabella Swan, were becoming the best of friends. "Alyssa, Mystic, your mom and dad are here to pick you up!" Mom called up the stairs. Both of them groaned. "I don't wanna go!" whined Lizzie. "Boo!" someone said that was coming from the closet. Lizzie and Mystic screamed. I hesitantly got up and walked to my closet, along the way, I grabbed a stick that I picked up a couple days ago when I went of a walk with Michele.
The door wasn't closed all the way. Through the crack of the door, I saw a streak of blonde. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Jennifer, it's just you." Thank god. "You know, you gave me quite a scare there," I finished, completely ignoring the fact that scare and there rhyme.
She pushed the door open. "Hi, I'm Jennifer, as you already know. The only reason I stayed in your closet was because I wanted to become friends." I was silent for a moment since I was studying her features. I smiled, "I would love to become friends, Jennifer." Then, we awkwardly hugged each other. "Oh, this is...," my voice trailed of. "I was about to introduce Mystic and Alyssa better, but their mom and dad said that they had to go," I said apologetically. Jennifer looked at me questionably. "Their mom and dad were already here?" she asked. I nodded, "Aren't yours here?"
Jennifer's face looked hurt. "I'm sorry if I brought up any pained memories or something." I said quickly. Jennifer made a smile that looks like it was forced. "It's fine."
"Jennifer, are you ok?" I asked. "You can call me Jen. Or something among the lines of that. Yes I'm fine, thanks for asking." She told me. "I have to go," she said rather quickly, "Bye, Bella." "Bye Jen."
Great now Mystic, Alyssa, and Jennifer are gone. Eh, I thought, I will just go play basketball with Jase and all those people. So, I put on a pair of tennis shoes and my awesome blue coat. I quickly ran downstairs and went through the entryway leading to the kitchen. "Hey mom, I'm going outside with Jase." She looked flabbergasted for a moment, but she nodded. "Ok, honey, just be careful out there." I quickly nodded and ran to the door leading to the backyard.
Jase, Aaron, Hector, and Johnny were playing basketball. The hoop that they were currently using was quite tall, but not that tall. "Hi Bells!" Jase greeted me. I smiled back at him. I still couldn't get Jennifer's odd reaction when I brought up Alyssa and Mystic's family. I mean, why did she look pained? As I began to think about my theories, Jase's loud booming voice interrupted me from my little 'trance.' Jase pulled my wrist and dragged me to the pavement.
"Izzy," a nickname that he rarely used, "This is Hector, Aaron, and Johnny. People, this is Bella." I shyly waved at them. "So now that you all know each other we shall continue za game. Bellay, you're on my team with Aaron and Johnny."
"Wait, that makes four against one," I told him. "Don't you want the teams to be perfectly even?" Jase sighed exasperatedly, "Rah, you're always right." Under his breath Jase muttered, "Dang it, you're right." Quieter, "How come you're always right?"
"AHH!!" someone suddenly yelled. I just ignored the sudden yell and looked at Aaron. "Aaron, I thought you were talking to my mom and dad." His expression was shocked for a moment but quickly composed himself. "Yeah, I was but Jase convinced me to come out here and play basketball with him."
There was another scream. Suddenly, my new natural instincts took over; they caused me to run over to where the screams were coming from. When I got there (which only took a matter of seconds) there was a little boy with dark brown curly hair. "Were you the one screaming?" I asked. The boy nodded; what ever caused him to scream had apparently shocked him. "I'm Bella," I started, "I heard a scream so I ran as fast as I could. Are you ok?"
He looked uncertainly at me. I flashed him a grin that I knew he wouldn't be able to resist. "You can trust me you know." I outstretched my hand towards him. He started to extend his arm towards me, but then stopped. "H-how can I trust you?" he asked. Then, he left me with a question that I didn't even know.
"I'm not sure, but I know that you'll be able to trust some other people at my house."
"Ok, I'll go."
After a couple of questions later, we finally started to walk towards my house. When we got to my house, most of the other cars were gone. At the basketball court, Johnny and Hector were gone. "Hector and Johnny left." Jase told me, noticing my sudden confusion. I nodded, signifying him that I now understood. "My name is Zack!" the boy had randomly blurted out.
"I'm Jase, and this is Bella," Jase stated as if he just found out where Osama was. "Yep, she already introduced herself to me while she ran over to me," Zack told him. Jase's face fell. "Why were you screaming anyway?" I asked. "Oh, I don't really know." "So, you just kind of scream randomly?" He just shrugged, but added, "Yes, but only on Friday's." I giggled. "Zack, do you want to play basketball with us?" He thought about it for a moment. "Ok, sure. Who's team am I on?" he asked.
"You can be on my team, and Bella, you can be on Aaron's team," Jase confirmed. This news had made me incredibly nervous. I hesitantly smiled over at Aaron, he, with no trouble whatsoever, smiled back at me. "Ok game on!" Zack yelled. Jase grabbed the ball and threw it down hard enough so that all of us would have the same chance of catching the ball.
Aaron was the one who caught the basketball so he quickly ran, dribbling the ball as he went, or it would be traveling, to the other end of the court. The rest of us ran down to where Aaron was. When Aaron was just about to shoot a—what we like to call a 'three-pointer', Jase knocked the ball out of his hand, but ended up touching Aaron's hand in the process. Therefore, it was considered as a foul.
I heard a whistle being blown. All of our heads simultaneously snapped back to where the sound was coming from. The person blowing the whistle was Michelle. "Jase, that was interference and fowl!" she—Michelle called out to him. He nodded in response.
Michelle was about to blow the whistle, but she had to say something first: "Its Aaron's and Bella's ball." Jase sighed and tossed the brown N.B.A basketball to him; when Aaron caught it, he bounced it once and tossed it to me. I looked up at him strangely, "You can take the ball down the court," he told me.
"Ok," I managed to squeak out; for this was one of the first times, he ever talked to me.
We had been playing basketball for a few hours now. However, it was almost five, and my mom and dad do not really like us playing outside after 4 p.m. "Come inside children!" shouts my father. Therefore, we went inside and watched Spongebob until it was time for Aaron to go.
A while later Aaron's mother came out and announced that is was time for them to go. Then Zack had said that he should go home too, but Mom insisted that he should stay and finally, Zack gave in. It was around nine o'clock when I started to get rather sleepy. By then, Mom had already gone to bed so it was just Zack, Jase, and Dad.
Dad had noticed that my eyelids were starting to droop, so he bent down and swooped up me into his arm without a word. I did not even notice that we were in my room; I was so tired. My dad had gently set me down on the soft bed and pulled up the comforting fabric softener smell. Soon, I was nestled into the soft, elegant blue blanket. Then, something had immediately snapped me out of my trance. "Dad, where is Edward at?" I could not believe what I had just said myself. "Who is Edward?" Dad asked me. Then it hit me, "Oh, wait, you wouldn't know who he is." That didn't stop Dad from asking questions. "Bella, please tell me who he is," he pleaded with me. "Daddy, can we please talk about this tomorrow?" He sighed, "Fine, but you will be explaining who this Edward guy is." I smiled into the darkness. "I love you, Daddy." I could almost hear the smile in his voice, but heard him pour pure love and happiness. "Love you too, baby girl, sweet dreams." He kissed me on the forehead before leaving.
Then, I fell into a peaceful, yet troubled slumber.
So, in the next chapter, I will be going into a deeper explanation on how Bella got changed. I will also tell how Jase, Aaron, Jennifer, Mystic, Allyssa, Hector, Johnny, and Michelle got changed into an Akedrial/Protector. Ok, so these are the official defintions of Akedrial's and Protector's.
Akedrial- An Akedrial is someone that gets changed into something; he or she have extordinary powers. Just one person can't get changed into one, they have to have at least several other people with them. The group is classified into pairs; the pairs must be a boy and a girl, so there can't be two of the same sex in one pair. The strongest people in a group are knocked out for 1 week or more. The next people are out for 6 days, the next for five, the next for four. The ones that are out for a week or three are considered as the 'Alpha's' of the group. The ones that are out for six days are the Beta's. The one's that are out for five or four days aren't really considered as anything; just 'normal' people in tthe group.
Protector- Somone who protects. They aren't necessarily always Akedrial's. When the Protector meets its Drudge, he or she is always the Protector's soulmate. The Protector is very faithful to his or her's Drudge, even though Fate has cruel ways of showing it
