Nickie POV
The floorboards creaked as I stood in my bedroom. The sound of the creaks we're sometimes soft and shot and sometimes long and sharp, like someone ran their nails across a chalkboard. The sound drilled my ears leaving a dull ache.
My bedroom is not like it is now, but my bedroom was fit for a little princess. The walls were painted a light shade of pink with stickers of different butterflies, like an illusion as if they we're flying all diferent directions.
My curtains had bunnies hopping about and a big Piglett Winnie The Poo rug in the middle of the floor. I remember as a child I loved butterfly's and bunnys. My favourite bedtime story was Winnie The Poo. But I knew as I grew older, I have out grown these sort of things.
I looked at my small child like bed with pink sheets and the design of dancing Daisy's. The bed was small with teddies sitting at the end of my bed. Bears, Unicorns and fairies we're my small white bedside table had my pourclin doll, victorian style with long brown hair in curls and a green dress with strange pattens and a matching hat and gloves. I smiles as I remembered me and my Grandma made a small chair out of bamboo.
In the corner of my bedroom sat on the floor was my big monkey. George. He had his thumb in his mouth and a banana in his other hand. Next to George was a small book shelf with fairytail books about princess and dragons. Next to my princess books we're my Disney books my favourite had to be Sleeping Beauty. The bottom shelf had other books like Paddington Bear, Rupert Bear and Wind in the Willows. Also, a small collection of Winnie the Poo books and comics that belong to Bella.
A child like laughter was heard outside my bedroom. I could hear bear feet running towards my bedroom and stopped infront of my bedroom door. Child like laughter filled my ears.
Knock
Knock
Knock
The clild laughted again as I heard his feet move away from my door and heading towards Bella's bedroom. Also, I could hear a little girl counting backwards, I smiled as I knew they was having a game of "hide go seek."
I opened my bedroom door and peeked through the hallway. My eyes landed on a small child, a little boy. He had dirty blonde hair to his shoulders. I couldn't see what he looked like as he had his back facing me.
The little boy opened the door to Bella's bedroom and stepped inside. A chill ran down my spine as the door slowly closed by it's self. As I stepped onto the landing, the counting of the little girl got more louder. Walking slowly, the hallway looked like it was far away and became more narrow. I could hear no sound inside the bedroom, only a slight breeze what came underneath the door and tickled my feet. As I put my hand on the doorhandle, the counting stopped. Opening the door I could hear two girls singing a song. They sand the song over and over again and it gave me the creeps.
"One, two the vampires are coming for you,
Three, four the Voltori are at your door,
Five, six better grab more whitnesses
Seven, eight you better learn the law
Nine, ten or you'll end up dead.
One, two the Voltori are coming for you,
Three, four you broke the law,
Five, six better light some sticks,
Seven, eight you're gonna loose your head,
Nine, ten your coven is dead . . ."
I opened the door more slowly as the tempature was cold, like ice My body was shaking as scared as I was to see what is in Bella's room. Stepping inside the room, my eyes hurt with bright light.
Did I die and gone to heaven?
I gasped as I saw myself and Bella. We we're not grown up but we we're little kids bouncing a ball to one another. We both wore the same cloths, a pair of dungeries and a plain white shirt. Our hair was in a tight bun. I swallowed a lump in my throat as the ball bounced on the carper with blood splatter. Mine and Bella's hands were covered in blood and so was our mouths. The blood was thick and dark looking, then turned in to a silver substance.
"Bella." I whispered in a shaky voice.
I watched in slow motion as myself and Bella turned around. There eyes we're dark red close to black. They stood still like stone, not saying a word.
"Bella . . .where is mom and dad?" I asked in a child like voice.
"Dead. You killed mommy and daddy." Bella said bluntly with no emotion in her voice or face.
I shook my head. "N-no, I didn't kill mommy and daddy."
"Liar. You had fun. We had fun." Little me said.
"Shhh Nicole we got into trouble with the law." Bella whispered.
Why would I kill mom and dad? That never made any sence, I will never hurt my parents. I loved them, me and Bella loved them. Someone else must of killed my parents. But they said that we had fun doing it. I watched as myself and Bella bounce the ball to one another, singing the song over and over again.
"Who are the Voltori." I asked.
"You and us. We are the Voltori. We are the law." Bella said.
"Death surrounds you and I." Little me said.
What does that mean?
Evil little me laughed as now she was more taller. She was the same hight and built. I was no longer a child, but who I am now. My hair was pulled away from my face in to a tight bun, my face was white like a sheet of paper. My cheekbones we're on sharp points and fully dark red lips. I gulped when I saw my own eyes, red as blood. I wore a black corset with lace gloves. The skirt looked to tight to move, was black and velvet. The cloak was a thick meterial, ourside was black and inside was red. I looked like a monster. This can't be me.
"We don't give second chances." I told my self.
With speed my evil self light a tourch and set me on fire. The smell of burning flesh invaded my nose as I could hear like porcilin cracks of my skin malting away. The flames got higher and thick clouds of smoke.
"No." I screamed.
There was no pain. Nothing. I opened my eyes and I was in the forrest surrounded by trees and wild flowers. I look down and notice I am only wearing a nightgound. My feet stung a little, from the twigs inbedded my skin.
As I looked up, the sky grew more darker nearly black. A flash of light danced across the sky and followed by a rumble. The ground beneath my feet shook a little. Drops of water hit my skin, drop by drop and the sound of rain hitting the ground sounded like calm music. As the rain poured from the sky more faster, my skin changed colour to pink and then red. The air smelled of a rich copped, as I noticed that it had started raining blood. The coppery smell burned my throat and everytime I breathed my lungs ached and hurt.
"Mommy where are you." A child like voice called out.
I looked up to where the voice was comming from, them out of know where a little boy stood infront of me. It was the little boy who was playing "Hide go seek" in my house. The little boy held his hand out for me to take and I took it.
The little boy pulled me forward and I followed close behind. I hissed in pain as something pierced the bottom of my foot. Lifting my foot up, blood trickled onto the muddy ground.
"Mommy you're bleeding." The little boy said.
I looked up at the little boy in shock. He smiled showing me his dimples at moth sides of his cheeks.
"What did you call me?" I asked.
The little boy chuckled. "Mommy you are silly at some times. Come'on daddy is waiting for us."
The little boy pulled me towards an opening. Rose and honeysuckle invaded my nose. I squinted as I noticed that it was snowing. But the forrest was pouring down with blood. I looked like the girl from the movie Carrie. The snow melted on my skin, the snow wasn't cold, but my skin felt more colder. I noticed that my skin wasn't soft and pink but white and it was like I was made of stone.
Where am I?
What was this place?
I felt something wrap around my waist. Looking down, I saw hands intwine with mine. I noticed that the persons hands were covered in scars and bite marks. I looked at my hands and noticed that I had a bite mark on my wrist and on the other wrist. But the bite marks we're not the same, they we're two different sets of teeth.
"Shhh, we've got you darling." The voice said in a Southern accent.
Goosebumps rose across my body. I closed my eyes and rested my back on his chest. It was like he was made of stone. The person brought me love and comfort. I felt being in the persons arms.
I noticed that I had two rings on my wedding finger. I had two engadgement rings. One looked kind of old fashioned. The ring was silver, but with dark green stone in the middle. Around the green stone was yellow and white pearls around it.
The other ring was gold and with a red ruby in the middle. Around the ruby was a black band with a little V graved into the gold. Both rings were pretty, but why did I have two engadgement rings on?
I felt the person rin his fingers through my hair and stroking down to my neck. I sucked in a breath as he hit a sensative spot. The person chuckled.
"Your still sensative to oour touch ma'ma." The voice said.
I recognised the voice.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"One of your homes." He replied.
"I-I have two homes?"
"Yes here and Italy with your son." He replied.
I nodded."The little boy who I was with?" I smiled.
"No ma'ma. Yes Jayden is our son, but remember you had twin boys. Remember one lives in Italy with his father."
"I-I-I don't remember." My voice shook.
"Shhh, you will. Don't worry. Wake up princess." The voice drifted away.
Beep

Beep
I turned my alarm clock of by throwing it at the wall. I groaned as I was not a morning person. Dragging myself out of bed, I walked straight into the bathroom. I did my moring routine and chose some cloths for today. I picked a thick black top and black trousers with knee-high boots. My hair was in a tigh bun. I applied a little makeup, eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss.
After I was done, I made my way down stairs. I heard Bella humming in the shower. She must be in a good mood. I walked in to the kitchen and dad was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee. He looked up and gave me a smile.
"Morning. Is Bella up?" He asked.
"Morning dad. Yes she is humming in the bathroom." I replied pouring myself and Bella a cup of coffee.
"Thats odd. How did you sleep"
"Good. I had a dream that I had twin sons." I replied.
I missed the part about the evil me and the other father living in Italy. I missed all the creepy bits out.
"Your not having kids till your married." He told me.
"I know. But weird dream right."
"At least it wasn't a nightmare." He smiled.
"Morning." Bella said walking in to the kitchen.
Me, Bella and dad chatted about a few things while we ate egg and toast. He told us that him and Billy was meeting Jacobs dad to go sea fishing. How I would pay to miss a day at school to go fishing with dad. I havn't been since I was little.
Dad left early as me and Bella cleaned up the kitchen. We took our books for our lessons and made our way outside. Locking the door behind me, we were greated by thick black ice. Me and Bella walked slowly like old people, being careful not to slip and break out necks. We got into the truck safe and sound and waited for the truck to warm up so we could defrost the windows.
The windows took around ten minuest to defrost and me and Bella was shivering our arses off. The heater for the truck wasn't that warm. We will have to ask Jacob to fix it. I put my iPod in with shaky hands and flicked through my play list.
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why.
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the waters edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why.
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I din't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel.
As soon as we pulled up in the school car park, it was busy as usual. Students we're having fun sliding on the thick ice. I heard that we were having some snow today, and I smiled. I loved the snow. Bella hated it, she hated having wet socks, or something cold.
I noticed that Jessica was talking to a couple of girls, who I do not know the name off, and I am not bothered. I waved at Angela who was talking to Eric and Mike. Tyler was talking to his new girlfriend Beth. He asked her out in last lesson and they looked cute together.
Jessica talked and then looked at me. I huffed and rolled my eyes. I have only been here for three days and already I am making enemies. Angela, Mike and Eric seem to be cool. Tyler is and Okay guy. Jessica can rott in hell all I care.
I usually don't have nasty thoughts about people, but once someone talks about another person who hasn't done anything wrong I flip a switch. But now it's like I am a different person, a person who I do not like. This new person is not me.
Everytime I look at Jessica, I want to rip her throat out. It's a burning feeling in my body bubbling up. Since I have woke up this morning, my body feels hot and somewhat painful. Sometimes I find it hard to breath whilse I was in the shower. But I have noticed that I look more pale than usual.
Was it the stress with the move?
Was it that I miss mom and Peter, and worried about them whilse traveling?
"Nicki. I meet you in lesson two." Bella called.
I nodded. "Whats lesson two." I asked.
"Physics." Bella smirked.
"Urrr." I through my hands in the air.
Bella laughed and made her way towards Jessica. Why can't she walk towards Angela. I like her better.
Bella POV
The next day was better...And worse. It was better that it had stopped raining, but the clouds were thick and grey when I looked out my bedroom window. I picked out some jeans and a plain blue jumper.
I roughly finished my homework, and wrote e-mail to mom. She was worried about me and Nickie, but I might as wello write to her incase she flips a bird and council her traveling to come and check on us. I didn't tell mom about the incident between Nickie and Jessica, I kept that to my self. Charlie on the other hand might already know because he works with Jessica's dad.
I heard Nickie's window squeek and then slam shut. Nickie is up so I let her use the bathroom first. She is quicker in the bathroom and I take longer. I was finishing some work of from yesterdays Biology lesson. I didn't hear Nickie move around, no sound of the floor boards creak. But I heard her alarm and them something smashing against the wall. I laughed and shook my head.
As I packed my books into my bag, I heard Nickie coming out of the bathroom. I grabbed my shampoo and conditioner and made my way. The bathroom was all fogged up and hard to see. But I was happy that the bathroom was boiling. I loved the warmth.
Breakfast was okay, we talked to Charlie and then he had to cut things short for some reason. He didn't say bye or give us a hug. I frowned as I watched him drive off, his car swaying side to side with the thick black ice. Me and Nickie quickly washed the dishes and made our way outside. We took longer to get to the truck, the ice was bad but lucky we survived without any injuries. We listened to some Annie Lennox and sang along to it.
Mike came and sat by me in English, and we walked to our next class Physics and noticed that Eric glarring at Mike. What was this about?
I was happy that nobody was looking at me today, yesterday was a nightmare. As I walked into Physics I noticed that Jasper was sitting next to Nickie. She had her face down looking at her book but her face was red. I smiled, and asked Jessica if I could sit next to her. I looked behind me and Nickie had her mouth open like a cod fish. She was blushing badly, but she couldn't say anything. She was drooling and Jasper was smiling at her. I noticed that he was sitting quite close to my sister.
I raised my eyebrows in supprise as my sister was talking to a male. Usually when the opposite sex talks to Nickie, she puts her hood over her head, or turn and walk away. Of course I am happy for her, but apart of me was jelouse that she is making friends with the Cullens and the Hale's.
The bell rang as my lesson was over. I heard Nickie giggling and some of the class was shocked, even the teacher. I walked with Jessica towards her lockers talking to Eric and Mike. He said something about Angela writing next weeks news paper that the school swim team was on the front.
I heard Eric was planning a small get together at LaPush beach in two weeks time. Mike asked if I was going, but I noticed that Eric gave Mike an look. Jessica laughed nervously and she changed the subject. But Mike looked at me with puppy eyes and I couldn't say no. They was surfing and Angela was taking pictures of the sunset. I asked if I could bring Nickie, the talking quite down and they looked at me like I had three heads. I told them never mind and they smiled and started talking again. That means I will be going out with a group of friends, and my sister will be staying home alone. I felt kind of bad.
I watched Nickie across the hall, laughing and chatting with the Cullens. Adam had his arms wrapped around Alice's waist and his chin rested on her shoulders. Jasper had a smile on his face as he watched my sister. Was he in love with her? When the class finished, he offered to hold her books and bags. At first I could tell that Nickie wasn't keen on people carrying her things, but Jasper wouldn't take no for an answer. Gentleman he is, and kind of old fashioned.
I watched my sister laugh, she had the light in her eyes. It was like she was a different person. A better person back home. Now she had confidence in her self, it was weird. Sometimes, like now, I wish she was the old Nickie, Nickie who stuck by my side not talk to anyone. Just a shock that she had made better friends than me, and I was jelouse that we'd now seperated. I was now friends with the bully who hurt my sister and another family. Nickie is with the good kind who people loved to talk to.
Through out the day, I didn't see Edward Cullen, only his siblings. Now and again Rosalie Hale would give me one of those looks. I don't know why she hates me, I havn't done anything to upset her. Emmet smiled at me, and the same with Alice and Adam. Jasper would usually nod his head my way.
My mind was else where, all I could think about was Edward. It was driving me insane. Why was this male different than the others? I was not paying attention in Trig and Mr. Varner called out my name. I gave the wrong answer. I could of slapped my self in the face.
I was miserable because I had PE. But the worst part was that the boys were with us due to the weather. We played football, it was a total nightmare. I told people they don't want me on their team, they didn't listen. I tripped over the ball, and stumbled over my own feet and shoelaces. It didn't held that Miss. Stone kept on shouting at me. The Coach kept on talking to me likeI was in kindagarden. I wanted to scream.
As lunch time came, I walked with Jessica. I tried not to look across the carateria to the Cullens table. But I couldn't help it. Edward was not there, but his siblings were chatting away and laughing. I had noticed that their food was left untouched. Mike sat next to me, followed by Jessica's friends. I looked around the room and looked for Nickie. I couldn't find her. I noticed that Jasper was looking across the room. I followed his gaze and she was sitting alone picking at her foot. She's seemed fed up.
I heard a chair scrape on the floor and looked to see that Angela was picking up her bag and food. She was looking at Nickie. Jessica had other ideas and grabbed Angelas arms and told her to sit down in a hardsh tone. It was like Jessica was saying "you are with us or you are against us." Angela gave me and Nickie an appologetic look and she took her seat, her face staring at her foot. Angela waouldn't meet anyones eye. Jessica's laugh filled the cafeteria.
"Maybe we should invite her over." I heard someones voice say loud and clear.
I looked over at the Cullen's table and watched Jasper twin sister get up from her chair and walk past our table. Rosalie glared at Jessica who stopped laughing and she gulped. Rosalie's face was stone looking. Her nose flaired and her lips pulled in a tight line. But her eyes burned at her skull. I watched over as Rosalie talked to Nickie.
"Do you want to come and sit with us." Rosalie asked in a sweet voice.
I watched Nickie look at the Cullen's table. Jasper was smiling at her. She looked at me and I moved my eyes telling her to sit with them. She smiled and grabbed her bag and tray of food. Emmet got a chair for my sister and placed it next to Jasper. I heard Jessica scoff and Emmet chuckling. I pushed my food away and played with the plastic on the bottle of coke.
"Not hungry." Mike asked with his mouth full of chips.
I shook my head and tried not to look at my sister. Her laughter filled the room. I heard something about her working with bikes. She is good in that area. I noticed that she got along with Rosalie and it looked like they had a load of things in common. There laughers filled the room and some students stopped eating. Some was shocked that Nickie was sitting with them.
"This will be top news for tomorrows paper." Angela said.
I smiled at her.
"I can't believe she is sitting with them." Jessica sneered and hissed.
I watched Jasper snap his head in our direction and glared at Jessica. It was clear that he hated her. But he couldn't hear us from across the room . . . right? I looked at Jessica and her face was red. Her teeth was clentched together as her body shook with anger. Mike and Eric moved to sit in front of her and I moved next to her. Angela moved out of the room. Besically I could see steam coming out of her ears.
My breath cought in my throat as I saw her hands in a fist and her knuckles white. I knew that she had a crush on Jasper, but I never knew that Jessica might kill just to have him. There was no need to get angry at my sister, she hasn't done anything wrong. It's not my sisters fault that Jasper said no when Jessica asked him out. She was pure jelouse of Nickie's happiness. What would happen if Nickie and Jasper become an item.
"Calm down." I said.
Jasper grabbed his tray and my sisters tray and put the food in a bin. I watched him walk back and wrap his arm around my sisters shoulders. I was shocked, but thankfull that someone was there to protect her.
As the bell rang, I was happy that Jasper left the cafateria first with my sisters bag in his hand while she carried her own books. I grabbed Jessica and walked to the nearest girls toilets. It took her the last two lessons for her to calm down. I would have to tell Charlie that I was sick and asked someone to get the nurse.
I was happy that the final bell rang, and I walked to the school car park and Nickie was already there. I watched Jasper kiss the back of her hand and she blushed. I looked around and thank God that Jessica was not here to see.
"What's up." Nickie asked with a smile.
"Edward didn't show up today." I mumbled.
We got into the truck and headed to the supermarket. Last night I was a little bit peckish and went into the kitchen for something to eat. Charlie had no food in what so ever, only packs of bacon and eggs. Only thing in the kitchen was money in the jar for food. So I wrote a shopping list. I just hope that Charlie doesn't mind that me and Nickie cooking on weekdays.
"Maybe he is sick." Nickie said.
"He might be. Did his family say where he was." I asked.
She shook her head. "No. I'll ask tomorrow if he doesn't show up." Nickie said with a wide smile.
I huffed. "The reason why I want to know where he is, it's the way he treated me yesterday. It was plain rude."
"Maybe he had a bad day. We all have them." Nickie replied.
I smiled. "Soooo you and Jasper, huh." I teased.
I watched Nickie's face go from pale to bright red.
"W-we're just friends." She said in a low voice.
I laughed. "Yea right."
"We are." She giggled.
I parked our truck near the trollies and the bins. The parking space wasn't that big, as I struggled to get out of the truck making sure I don't hit another car with the truck door. We grabbed the shopping trolly with wonky wheels, and went down the list. The supermarket was big with food on one side and the next was furniture and car parts.
We grabbed the food what we need, the food what they didn't have in we have them delivered tomorrow at 6pm. We gave the shop keeper our number and he already had Charlies. We packed our groceries in the back of our truck and put a water proof sheet over. We had to drive around the shop and there was a long line of cars and trucks waiting to get out of the exit.
"Hurry. I need to pee." Nickie bounced up and down in her seat with her legs crossed.
I rolled my eyes and smiled at her. Nickie could be a child at times. She was acting like one now. As we waited, we could hear people shouting to one another and people beeping their horn on their cars and trucks.
I noticed that the Cullens we're parket, standing around their silver Volvo. They was talking to another woman who had shoulder length brown hair She looked to be in her late 20s. She had two cans of paint in her hands. The Cullens and the Hale's we're all beautiful. I have noticed that their cloths looked expencive, and it matched their beauty. As our truck passed them, I noticed that they was staring at us. I didn't bother looking, I just kept facing forward. Nickie saw them and waved her hands at them infront of my face. The person who I didn't recognise with the Cullens looked confused by my sisters actions.
The supermarket was not far from school, six blocks away heading South of the highway. When we got home, the rain bounced on the root of my truck. Nickie had a smile on her face as she knew that I hated the rain. We got out the car, well Nickie danced around the car in her dream world and grabbed a few bags of groceries. Suprisingly the groceries were not soaked. On our way to the house, Nickie chose to bounce her way in puddles, soaking her white jeans.
Unpacking the groceries was a nightmare, most of the cupboards were filled with Charlies fishing equipment. We put them on the table and packed the food away in any cupboard. I hope Charlie doesn't mind us touching his stuff.
I wrapped the potatos in foil and put them in the over, while Nickie covered the steaks in marinade and hers in musterd. I cringed. I hated the smell of musterd and the look of it.
Nickie went to have a long soak in the bath. I could smell her favourite bathbomb Dragons Egg. I changed into some grey sweats and tied my damp hair up. Before doing my homework I checked on my e-mails.
MOM- How is school. Are you and Nicole okay and hows Charlie. Is Nicole seeing that guy who you told me about. Have you got a boyfriend yet. Do you guys remember where I put my pink blouse what you girls got me for Motherday, I can't find it anywhere. I miss you girls already. Love Mom XXX
MOM- Why arn't you writing to me? What are you to waiting for? Love Mom XXX
MOM- I have sent the same message to Nicole. If you don't write back by 5:30p.m I will call Charlie.
I groaned at the last message. Mom always acts over the top. I checked the clock and I had forty-five minuets to reply.
BELLA- Calm down, I am writing to you now. Me and Nickie are fine and dad is okay. He is busy at work. Well Jasper and Nickie seem close, she says that they are just friends. But everytime she looks at him, she blushes. No mom, I am not interested in boys at the moment. You're pink blouse is at the drycleaners, you was meant to pick it up on Friday. Nickie's laptop is broke so dad took it to Billy Black so Jacob can fix it. Nickie says Hi to you and Pete. I love you. Bella and Nickie xxx
After I e-mailed mom, I decided to read Wuthering Heights, the novel we are currently reading in English. I heard Nickie coming out of her bedroom, and going down stairs. I could hear Nickie open the oven to check on the potatos and to put in the steaks.
"Bella. Nicole." Charlie called as he opeded the front door.
I closed my book and made my way down stairs. Charlie hung up his gun belt with his bullets still intact and he took of his boots as I followed him in to the kitchen. Nickie hugged Charlie as I stood near the kitchen counter. I didn't like to show emotions, I was like my dad in a way.
"Hi Char- I mean dad." I said.
I remember when me and Nickie were kids, Charlie always removed his bullets from his belt before entering the house. Now that we we're old enough, that there will be no accidents with us shooting ourself.
"Whats for dinner." Charlie asked warily.
Our mom was an imaginative cook, her experiments weren't always edible. As we were kids, after seeing the movie The Witches we were scared that mopm put frogs and bat wings in our dinner, thats why it tasts awful. We refused to eat her food and tried to give it to our dog Toby, even he turned down moms food. Me and Nickie was shocked, and sad that he seemed to remember that far back.
"Steak and potatoes with salad." I said.
At dinner we made small talk. It was nice for once that we never had to sit in silence. After dinner Charlie helped me clean the table and he went into the living room to watch TV.
Me and Nickie picked up on his mood. He seemed . . .numb and distant. Something wasn't right. I wanted to ask what was wrong, but we both knew Charlie would tell us in his own time. We cleaned the kitchen in silence and we both went our seperate ways and went to bed.
Jasper POV
I watched my mate sleep as my arms we're tightly wrapped around her. I thought that she would move away from me with my cold body, but she turned around in her sleep, facing me and then moving closer to me. Her arm was wrapped around my waist and her neck buried in my neck. I smiled.
I thought she would of woke up with someone near her, but she was relaxed in my presence. I was happy about that. Everytime she breathed on my neck, I purred. Everytime I purred, her body responded with a shiver. The Major in me was relaxed and I was happy that I didn't have to fight and push him back. We we're both calm.
Through out the night, I heard her whimper, she was in pain for some strange reason. One minuet her body was hot and the next her body was the same tempature as mine and the next her body went back to normal. It was like she was fighting something off, like flu symptoms.
She held on tightly to my grey jumped as I kissed her head. Her hair was soft that matched her skin. I noticed everytime I stroked the two dimples at the bottom of her back, she would pant. I chuckled. Humans we're strange creatures like us vampires. We don't understand each other, like we used to. Once you becaome a vampire, you loose all human feelings and connection. But lucky I can feel her emotions.
I looked at her closly, she looked human, but we know she was something. She was a banshee. A wailing woman. Did she know what she is? But Carlisle said we will have to get to know her at school to keep a close eye on her. Also, he has told Edward to keep an eye out for his mate, she is something too, or she is gifted. A hard gift to read.
I heard someone moving around next to my mates bedroom. But the only scent I had picked up was her sisters Isabella. I could hear their father moving around down stairs and the sound of bullets putting into a gun.
I could hear Isabella open something and the sound of pages opening on a book. The sound of pen hitting the paper and then scribbling on paper. What was she doing up at this time.
I laid next to my mate a little bit longer waiting for the sun to some up. The sky was thick with fog and it had not long stopped raining. I could smell that I was going to snow in a couple of hours. I didn't want to leave my mate, but I knew that I will see her in a couple of hours. I would see her in second lesson Physics and last lesson History.
Maybe I could get Alice to invite her to have dinner with us. I could tell my mate already liked Alice and Adam. I was supprised that Rosalie liked her. Rosalie doesn't like anybody, only us. Emmet can't wait to pick on her.
I moved my mates body away from mine, and I am already missing the warmth. She mumbled in her sleep, but didn't wake up. I pulled the sheets tightly over her body and kissed her lips. My lips on hers made me want to curl my toes. I purred.
I opened the bedroom window, and it squeaked loudly. My mate moved in her sleep, and Isabella stopped what she was doing. I moved out of the room quickly and moved fast towards my home.
As I got home, I knew everyone was in the living room listening to Edward play the piano. Alice gave me a knowing smile and so did Adam. Roaslie had car oil on her overalls and she smiled and patted my shoulder.
"He lives." Emmet joked.
I smiled.
"How is she." Carlisle asked.
"She is fine. But her body tempature keeps changing."
"Doing something you two shouldn't." Emmet joked.
"What do you mean." Esme asked.
"One minuet her body tempature is hot and the next she is like ice." I clerafied.
"Strange. Just keep a look out on her." Carlisle told us.
We all nodded our heads. I went upstairs and took a quick shower and changed in a white shirt and black jeans and my military jacket. Alice skipped up to me and linked her arm around mine and Adams. I smiled.
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say
In the heat of the moment
Say, say, say.
Someday, someday, someday, Dominion
Come at time
Someday, someday, someday, Dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine.
In the light of the fact
On the lone and level
Sand stretched far away
In the heat of the action
In the settled dust
Hold hold and say
In the meeting of mined
Down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind
Be . . .King, king, king, king.
Someday, someday, someday, Dominion
Come a time
Someday, someday, someday, Dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine.
Someday, someday, someday, Dominion
Some say prayers
Some say paryers
I say mine.
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lied inside
When I hear you say
In the hear of the moment
Say, say, say.
Someday, someday, someday, Dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine
I say mine
I say mine.
We serve an old moan in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square
I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
A kino runner of the DDR
And the fifty-two daughters of the revulation
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift...nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home,
sing:
Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down down down
Mother Russia
Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down.
As we got to school, I already noticed that my mate was already here. I looked around and spotted Isabella talking to Jessica. I thought she would stay with her sister and keep her companny. I found the girl named Angela, but she was with Eric and Mike. I growled. I didn't like them two. But my mate was nowhere to be seen.
I sniffed the air and followed her scent. Alice and Adam followed close behind and I growled. She had Math with Alice and Adam. I growled. They get to spend the morning with my mate and I will be going out of my mind. It's not fare. I know I'm acting like a child, but I wanted my mate with me. Alice chuckled.
"Jasper don't worry. We'll keep an eye on her. If you want we sit next to her through out class and walk her to her next lesson." Alice said in a calm voice.
I didn't like it, but I had to put trust with Alice and Adam. I nodded my head and they walked in. was croaking as he spoke to the class. He was in his late sixties with brown hair with grey showing. He had big nose and eyes like a frog. A couple of years back he had an accident on holiday mounting climbing. Now he walks on one leg, well hops.
The Bell rang and I made my way into English. I noticed that Jessica was sitting with Isabella and Emmet was sitting at the back. He saw me and nodded his head and I sis the same.
"So how come you're sister doesn't take English with us." Jessica whispered.
"She is ahead of me. English is easy for her so she has took the high class. Same as History, thats why she took double History lessons." Isabella whispered back.
"Oh I just thought that she be in the bottom class . . .like . . .I mean she looks kind of dumb." Jessica whispered back.
I noticed Isabella freeze. "She isn't dump, she is very inteligent. She helps me out alot, but I loose concentration. I don't have the pacients with school. Nickie does."
"Thats her name. I fegot." Jessica sniggered.
I growled.
"Listen Nickie didn't mean what she said yeaterday. She doesn't like people talking about others. She is sorry for what she did." Bella continued.
"Sure she is." Jessica mumbled.
I stared at the white board not paying much attention to the teacher. I didn't need to listen, I already knew what I was doing. I have done this lesson thousands of times. But I noticed that some students were struggling.
But I growled when I noticed that Jessica kept on looking at me. She smiled and battered her eyelashed. I felt sick as my mouth went dry.
"Do you think that I should ask Jasper out to the dance." Jessica asked Bella.
"What dance." Bella mumbled.
"The school dance in a couple of weeks. What do you think." She piped up.
"Huh-I think he likes my sister." Bella mumbled.
"But she won't mine. I ask him at dinner." She cherped.
There is no way in hell I be going to dance with her. I rather go with my mate. Lucky the bell rang and Emmet pulled me out of the class.
"That Jessica is a bitch." Emmet mumbled.
"Tell me about it." I mumbled.
"Don't worry. Ask your mate to the dance. Me and Rosalie have decided to go this year." Emmet said.
Emmet walked me to our next lesson Physics, he had Chemistry with Rosalie and Alice. The Science block was packed with students. Sime lining outside the door and some leaving the classroom. Girls brushed them selves on me and Emmet. Emmet chuckled and I stuffened. I felt someone close behind me and I turned my back. Jessica was close behind but Isabella was nowhere to be seen. She smiled and I frowned. I wasn't interested in her.
I walked into my next class Mrs. Martin was handing out text-books and a couple of sheets of paper. I spotted my mate and I felt a smile coming on. I walked over to her table whilse watching her. She had her head down, chewing the end of her pen looking at the white sheets of peper. I sat next to her and she stopped reading and chewing.
"Sorry for disturbing you ma'ma. I'm Jasper Hale and you must be Miss. Nicole Swan."
I watched with amuzment as she tried to talk. She opened her mouth and then closed it.
"I-I'm Nicole Swan. I mean thats me...Yea thats . . .me." She stuttered.
I smiled at her. Her face was red but her cheeks we're a shade darker. Her curly hair was straight and shiny. She wore white jeans and a silver jumper and knee-high boots. She wore a little make-up, but her face seemed to be glowing.
"How is school so far." I asked.
"It's okay. How do you like living here." My mate replied.
"It's nice. Cold but nice. How about you ma'ma." I asked.
She laughed. "Ma'ma?"
"You don't mind...ma'ma." I teased.
She smiled and buried her face in the book. I couldn't help but smile. She blushed everytime I call her "Ma'ma" her blush was cute, and she had a small dimple on the left side of her cheek.
"Hmmm. No, not at all Mr Hale." She said looking down.
Throughout the class, I had gotten to know my mate. She enjoyed reading and music and being outside. She loved the cold weather and going for a run. She also told me why she and Bella moved here. It saddened me a little that they chose to move away, but I understood that they both wanted to give their mom Rene and their Step-dad a break for a honeymoon. They wanted to get to know Charlie better.
I'm happy that she had chose to move here, if not me and Edward would still be depressed. I noticed a couple of girls who had a crush on me give my mate an awful look. Jessica was glairing at my mate, buring my mates skull with her eyes. My mate kept her head down through out the class. I wanted to see her face and look into her green eyes. I hated that she had to hide because of jelousy humans.
I growled low, I didn't want my mate to hear. As the bell rang we had a fifteen minuet break till next class. I walked around with my mate by my side as I had my hand on the bottom of her back. I felt her shiver. I held her bag and books for her, but she felt uncomfortable me holding her things. I didn't mind, I am a gentleman. My mate talked to Alice and Adam, and they had aload of things in common. They both likes baseball. Alice invited her to a game in a couple of weeks with my family. I was happy that she said she'd go. I didn't see Emmet or Rosalie at break. Edward was a couple of miles away staying with one of Esme friends.
The next two lessons we're awful. The time was so slow, the Major in me wanted to get out to checkl on our mate to see if she was okay. I looked at the clock every couple of minuets, it was like time had stopped. I growled and gripped the edge of the table.
I could of thrown a party when the bell rang. I waited outside for my family. I looked around the cafeteria and saw Isabella talking to Jessica and the others but I didn't see my mate. I grabbed anything to eat and drink and sat at our table. We talked and we filled the family in on Nickie. Nothing strange yet. I noticed that Isabella looked at our table and them at another table. I followed her gaze. My heart hurt. My mate was sitting alone picking at her food. I heard Jessica laugh. Angela was about to get up but Jessica grabbed her hand and put Angela in her seat. Angela wanted to sit with Nickie but Jessica was being a bitch about it. Bella just kept on looking back and forth pretending to listen to the table.
"Maybe you should invite her over." Alice said.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at my mate. Rosalie got up and walked over to my mate. My mate looked up in confusion.
"Do you want to sit with us." Rosalie asked.
I watched my mate look at our table and she looked at me. I gave her a smile and she nodded her head. Emmet grabbed a chair and put it next to me. He smiled. My mate sat next to me, and thankfully they all chattered to her. Rosalie laughed and told something about teaching Emmet to fix the oil tank of the car. I was supprised that my mate knew what Rosealie was talking about. We found out that she knew how to fix bikes and enjoys riding them.
"I can't believe she is sitting with them." Someone sneered and hissed.
I looked behind me and noticed that Jessica was angry. She had both of her hands in a fist and she was shaking. Bella tried to calm her down, but it wasn't working. Jessica was jelouse of my mate. She was jelouse about everything. I grabbed my food and threw it in the bin and sat right next to my mate and put my arm around her. Rosalie frowned at my movements but I nodded with my head to the table behind me. She raised her eyebrows.
As the bell rang we walked to our last lesson. Double History. I was happy that our teacher gave us a task and we had till end of the year to finish it. I was happy that I was partners with my mate. I was happy that I will be seeing her more often.
We talked and I watched my mate answer the questions what had gave us. Not once my mate looked in her History book, but she knew all the answers. I could tell that she had already done this lesson. But I was impressed.
The bell rand and my chest ached. Nickie gripped on to her chest.
"You okay." I asked.
"I don't know. I have had these cold and hot feelings through my body since I have woke up. It hurts, but I be okay." She smiled.
I walked my mate to her truck and I was happy that her sister wasn't here yet. I stood next to her so my hip was touching hers. I noticed that Eric was giving me a dirty look. I spotted Isabella and I kissed my mate on the cheeks fast. I smiled as she froze on the spot. I smiled as I walked to Rosalie car. Emmet laughing.
"Whats up." I heard my mate ask.
"Edward didn't show up today." Isabella mumbled.
As Alice drove like a mad woman, we were home. Carlisle was standing outside waiting for us. We knew that something was wrong.
"Whats wrong." Adam asked.
"An old man at the railway track was found dead this afternoon. Police think it's some animal attack." Carlisle said.
"Was it." I asked.
He shook his head. "No. Our kind."
