Chapter 7: The Emerald Eyed Demon
BELLA'S POV
A human will enter this world as innocent as can be,
But she will choose to join us and then our fate is hers.
The demon with the emerald eyes and the dazzling skin
Will draw a vampire to her and their love will be epic,
But danger comes and destroys her life.
When she is formed she will unite the mortal enemies;
Werewolf and Vampire.
She will be more powerful than any and will pose no threat to humans,
She will be envied and hunted but none will find her.
This vampire must be destroyed or our days in existences are numbered.
I began to shake at the last line. Edward growled when he finished. I raised my eyes to look at Carlisle. He looked deeply concerned. When I tried to speak nothing but a tearless sob escaped by lips. I glared at the piece of parchment and suddenly it burst into flames. We all jumped back started. Luckily Carlisle saved it in time. "Bella!" Carlisle exclaimed. "I don't know what happened I've never done that with my eyes before!" I cried. Edward looked torn. I knew he wanted to comfort me but he could feel my resentment. "That's about me right?" Carlisle nodded and I went rigid. "That's why that vampire wants my powers!" my head was spinning. The demon, that was the phrase that was eating me up. Before they could stop me I was outside and in my car. I flew down the road not really looking were I was going.
When I stopped I saw that I was at the beach that this whole thing had started at. I got out of my car and walked onto the sand. I sat there and let the cool beach breeze wash over me. I played with the necklace I had and thought about that piece of paper. The demon, I couldn't shake that phrase. The demon, you're a demon Bella you know you are! I shook my head and began my tearless sobs again. Suddenly I had an idea. I didn't know why I want to do it, I knew it would hurt me but I wanted to try. I glided up to the cliff where I had jumped from at the end of spring break. I looked over the edge. Even as an invincible vampire I was still a little afraid of heights. I prepared to jump, but then two hot muscular arms grabbed my waist. I heard his voice in my ear, "Oh no we're not playing that game again!"
I grinned as Jacob released me. I smiled at him shyly. "How did you know?" "I caught your scent and I said to myself now what could she possibly be doing here?" He looked at me and saw that I was distressed. "What's wrong?" "Nothing!" I lied. "Bella even as a vampire you are a terrible liar." I rolled my eyes dramatically. "Tell me!" even if Jacob was still upset he really did care. "I have a prophecy written about" and with that I repeated the words back to him. When I finished he had his fists clenched. I knew he was trying hard not to lose his temper, but if his anger was for me or the prophecy I didn't know. He finally spoke, "Bella have you ever killed a human?" "NO!" I gasped. Jacob's face softened at this. "I'm sorry Jake about the last few months" Jacob nodded, "tell that to the blood…I mean Edward." I shifted uncomfortably. "Bella, I never got a chance to tell you something before you left" Jacob was staring at the ground. "What?" "Well I was going to tell human Bella that I loved her."
JACOB'S POV
"Well I was going to tell human Bella that I loved her." I looked up and Bella looked unnerved. Her eyes were hard as stone and her body had stiffened. She was staring right at me her arms crossed her hand balled into fists. I wanted to try something even if her stench was awful, it was getting easier to ignore. I grabbed her face and kissed her. She seemed startled by this. Her lips were cold and hard, very different from what I had imagined. I pulled away and stepped back. She continued to stare blankly at me. Then she snickered. "What?" I asked startled by her reaction. "You just kissed a vampire!" she giggled again. I rolled my eyes knowing that we weren't going to have a moment. "Be serious Bella!" I was a little hurt, but a little relieved by her reaction. "Bella did you feel anything!" I asked stupidly. Her eyes grew sad and she shook her head. "It's him isn't, even if you don't want to say it out loud you know it's always Edward." She looked down at her shoes, and seemed upset.
BELLA'S POV
I tilted my head to the side as if I was examining shoes. "Bella!" Jacob called grabbing my attention. "What?" I said irritably. "Your phone!" Jacob said. I then just heard my cell start ringing. I answered it. "Hello?" "Bella, hi!" It was Laurent. "Hey what's up?" "We've been worried where you are?" I smiled at Jake. "I'm on my way back. Ok?" "Ok, bye!" Laurent hung-up. I closed the phone and looked at Jacob. "I gotta go!" "Ok!" Jacob gave me a hug and I walked away. I was about halfway home when I ran out of gas. I got out to check the gas tank. It was open. Suddenly I felt two cold arms grab me. "Finally Got You!" I suddenly felt something hard connect with my head and then darkness.
That damn vampire that had been hunting me finally got me. I tried to get up but he somehow used his own power to keep me pinned to the ground. "You know you were very hard to find, but once I looked into your past a little it was easy to figure out." He explained. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't formally introduce myself, my name is Henry, and you are Bella Volturi! Pity, I'm finally in the mists of a Volturi and I have to kill them!" he made a fake sad face. "Oh well!" he said as he shrugged his shoulders. Henry walked around my limb body as if appraising his work. I heard light footsteps and a familiar voice. "Hello darling" Laurent sneered. I was in complete shock. "Laurent?" I said surprised. "Didn't expect it did you, know but Henry used a few tricks and I gained the Volturi's trust quite easily.
"She must be curious as to how we have such powers" Henry said mockingly. Laurent laughed and picked me up by my neck. Even if I didn't breath it still was uncomfortable. I squirmed but I was growing weaker with the struggle. I moved my hand slightly making Laurent and Henry go flying and hit the wall with a sickening thud. I tried to run and almost made it. Henry was on me in a second. He pinned me to the ground again. He bent down. Henry smiled an evil smile and then reached down and placed his hand over my silent heart. I felt an indescribable pain run through me. My scream pierced the air as Henry began to drain my powers. I heard Laurent laughing wickedly somewhere close by.
