The Agents and The Vampire
Chapter Seven – Not a Ghost
Leroy Jethro Gibbs
"Abby get back here," I hissed as Abby jumped right out of the car and went softly over to the front yard where he had disappeared from.
I groaned as I too got out of the car and ran stealthily over to her, trying not to make Bella, who was still inside, to the best of my knowledge unaware of our presence. I grabbed Abby's hand and tried to no avail to get her to come back to the car by tugging on her arm. I had no idea what was going on in this little town, but I did not want Abby anywhere near that house.
"Gibbs," she whispered, "He disappeared from right here. It was right in front of those cloudy eyes of yours, aren't you the least bit curious?"
"Yes," I admitted, "But I do not want you here right now, it could be dangerous, and I personally don't even want to hang around here."
"Gibbs, are you seriously scared?" Abby asked and I rolled my eyes.
"Anyone in their right mind would be," I said, ceasing in trying to pull Abby away, and stood there, shoulder's shrugged looking at her, "Can we go now?"
"Gibbs, he's obviously a peaceful ghost, we've met him, what? Six times and he has always been perfectly pleasant," Abby said, matter-o-factly, "That's not just going to decide to hurt us now."
"Where do you think he went?" I asked in surrender, she wasn't going to drop this and let me take her back to the hotel, and I was definitely not going to let her stay here by herself.
"Woods?"
"Abby," I groaned, "We are NOT going into the woods, at night, unarmed, without a flashlight, out here. I saw a hunter coming in with a wolf today, Abbs. Besides why would he go into the woods when Bella is waiting for him upstairs?"
With the last few words I pointed up to the light being on in an upstairs bedroom.
"Wolves? Cool," said Abby as she headed across the yard towards the back of the house, "You don't have to come, Gibbs, you can wait in the car, I'll be back."
"Like hell you will," I said as I followed her, "You can't even run in those giant heels you wear."
"Fine, c'mon," said Abby as she pushed a branch back and headed into the brush.
"This is crazy," I said, in an almost inaudible whisper and she just shook her head at me.
"Only if you label it crazy," Abby said as she led me further into the woods.
"We're going to get lost out here," I said, "And I do not want to make that call to DiNozzo."
"We won't get lost," Abby said happily, "I have my handy dandy marine with me."
"Mmm," I mumbled as we walked further in and Abby stopped short, "What?"
"You were right," Abby whispered as she clung unto my arm, "He's definitely not a ghost."
My eye sight compared to Abby's was very week but even I could see that a few yards in front of us was Dr. Cullen. The moon light was shining off his skin as his mouth was attached to the neck of a dead deer. It looked as though he was sucking it's blood, and then realization hit me. He was. I immediately pushed Abby behind me as Dr. Cullen seemed like he wasn't of his right mind, he looked crazed as he sucked on the deer. I should have ran, but I didn't have time to, Dr. Cullen snapped out of whatever trance he was in and let go of the deer, standing slowly, like if he went slow enough we wouldn't see him. Abby gave a muffled scream into my shoulder, and then I felt a hand on my other shoulder.
"Get back," I yelled at him and he just looked at me.
"I'm not going to hurt you," He said, "Just come back to the house with me, ok? I, clearly have some explaining to do."
I laughed, that was funny, 'he wasn't going to hurt us' right. I had seen enough Vampire movies with Abby and I knew he was full of it.
"Right, we're just going to go up there and you're going to make us some tea?" I said as I felt Abby move from behind me.
"Well, I think Bella has some coffee and hot chocolate up there too," He said and I rolled my eyes as Abby handed me a clove of garlic and a wooden dagger.
"I always keep them with me," She said and Cullen laughed.
"Can I see those?" He said politely, "I haven't seen those things in years."
"They're the only things that can kill you," Abby said and he shook his head.
"You've seen to many movies," He said and he gently tugged the dagger away from me and pointed it at his own chest, "May I demonstrate? It may break your little dagger here."
Abby nodded faintly and Cullen smiled as he held the dagger at arms length and then brought it with power to where his heart was located. The dagger shattered on impact and he let it fall to the wooded floor.
"Ok," He said, "C'mon."
Before I knew it he had a hand on me and a hand on Abby and we were flying, no he was running us back to the house. He brought us right in the back door and set us at the kitchen table.
"Now I believe you wanted tea?" Cullen asked and both of us shook our heads, "Alright then, can I trust you two to stay here, and not call anyone? I just want to go get Bella, she worries."
"I don't want this to turn into a hostage situation," I blurted out.
"Bella? Never a hostage, I couldn't hurt her, though she wants me to," He said, he seemed a little pained at that last comment, "But never mind that, you two are free to go, though no one will believe you and I would think you'd be curious. There are also, dangers, for you both that I'd like you to be aware of…"
"Fine," I said and Carlisle disappeared again.
Isabella Swan
I sat up in bed reading and waiting for Carlisle to get home, I must have missed it because I had gotten engrossed in my book. In what seemed like a few minutes from when I sat down, Carlisle was sitting next to me. He kissed my temple and then I put my book down to look at him, he looked worried.
"Ok," He said, "For the second time tonight, I am saying I am so sorry, Bella."
"About what?" I said, my imagination beginning to whirl once more, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm not hurt," He said, and I kissed him quickly, then shivered I had to remember I had to wait a few minutes after a hunting trip for the venom to soak up the excess blood.
"Than what's wrong?" I asked and he just rested his head on my shoulder.
"Come with me please," He said and I nodded as I allowed him to take my hand and lead me down to the kitchen.
I saw Agent Gibbs and Abby sitting there waiting for us and it clicked.
"You stupid, senile old vampire!" I yelled at Carlisle in the door frame, and I punched him right in the chest wit hall my might.
"I'm sorry," He said, taking my now broken hand in his hands gingerly, and picked me up and set me on the counter as yelled at him some more and he set my hand with the supplies he kept around the house for almost exactly this reason.
Abby and Gibbs were just kind of watching us intently as he finished bandaging my hand and kissed it softly.
"You're going to half to start remembering that you're fragile, and you can't go around punching me," He said as he kissed me quickly.
"I'll punch you if you deserve it," I said and he just rolled his eyes, "How could you get caught by them? I just finished asking you to be careful. What the hell is wrong with you, do I mean nothing to you?"
"I'm sorry," he said sincerely, and I instantly felt a little bad, "I smelt them, I thought they were leaving, I ran they followed, I figured they wouldn't find me in the dark, they did. I love you, with all of my still heart, and racing mind, ok? I'm sorry I… I don't know what happened. I was already eating something when they came into the woods. I told you what it's like once we're feeding… I'm sorry, sweetie, you mean the world to me, and I hoped you already knew that."
"I do," I said, a little defeated, and he kissed me passionately, pulling away only when I need air.
"Not that that isn't touching," said Gibbs from over at the table, "But can we get some God damned answers over here?!"
