A/N: I dunno if the problem with my "review reply" link got fixed or not. So if you didn't get a reply I'm sorry, it isn't my fault. I replied to all of your reviews. Hoping that you got it. Enjoy!
Recap:
I have to remember to thank Victoria for telling me about them…
"WHAT?!" I shouted. Victoria?!
Chapter 7: A Theory
Every member of my family was alarmed by my sudden rage. But they didn't know. Victoria sent him? I snarled.
Edward? Carlisle
What happened? Alice
Are you in pain? Esme
"Bring him in" I said through my gritted teeth without answering any of their question. They stared at me but then Carlisle went to open the door for him.
"Good afternoon" Carlisle said politely, "You must be Leo"
"Yes. Oh my God. You are Carlisle. I am so honored to finally meet you" Leo said quickly. Carlisle chuckled.
"Thank you. Please come in" And I heard the door close. I heard their footsteps till he appeared at the living room door.
"Hi" He said looking at everyone. They smiled and nodded back. His eyes scanned around the room till he spotted me. I had no idea about how my expression looked like but I was sure it was something murderous. Because he looked horrified once he saw me.
"What's wrong Edward?" He asked quickly rushing to my side. I tried to sit up but couldn't.
"Esme?" She lifted her arms from around me and helped me sit up with Alice. The whole while I didn't lift my eyes from his face.
I glared at him but didn't speak. Too furious to speak. He looked confused.
"Edward?" Carlisle asked concerned.
I wasn't sure that I could answer. I was seeing red. The room was on fire in my eyes. But only he was burning.
Leo's eyebrows pulled together. He looked at Carlisle and Carlisle shrugged.
Speak Edward! Alice demanded.
Edward, you're emotions are too angry for me to calm, what's wrong? Jasper struggled to keep me calm but I was beyond that.
Is it about Leo? Carlisle wondered.
I looked in his direction and nodded.
What is it then?
I gritted my teeth and sucked a deep breath through them, trying to calm myself down.
"Victoria sent him" I snarled. They all gasped but I didn't look at anyone but him. My glare was hardening. He just looked confused.
"How did you know?" He asked puzzled. I snarled again at how calm he was.
"Edward can read minds" Alice told him bleakly.
"Oh" he said untroubled, "So what's wrong with that? Yes, Victoria did send me." My hand balled into fists. He was playing innocent. This was more infuriating.
"Why did she send you?" I demanded. His eyebrows pulled together.
"I used to tell her how I hated killing people. One day she came told me all about your family and Carlisle. She told me where to find you and I came" he shrugged.
I growled. His thoughts were the same as his words. "Don't lie to me"
"Edward calm down" Carlisle said in a calm voice. Peace making. I didn't soften my glare. Leo cocked his head back a little.
"I don't understand" He turned to Carlisle.
"Is that really what happened with Victoria?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes, why would I lie?" He still sounded confused.
He seems to be telling the truth Edward. Are you getting anything from his thoughts? Carlisle thought. I shook my head, still tense.
"Look Leo. Victoria isn't exactly our friend. So it's not natural for her to talk about us in good ways like you said and recommend that you see us." Carlisle explained. Leo looked back at me with a surprise expression and then back at Carlisle. He looked back at me and said,
"She told me you were her old friends" he mumbled.
"Ha! Old friends? Oh sure, do old friends try to kill each other?" I shouted not seeming to be able to lower my temper.
"Kill?!"
"Yes, Kill. She tried to kill Bella" I said in a hard voice.
"Bella?" He gasped. How could she even dare? I will have a nice talk with her later. He growled in his head. My eyebrows shot up.
"You really don't know anything, do you?" I said surprised.
"No, I swear. I never heard all of this before" He said shaking his head. But his jaw was still tight. He was angry with Victoria. I blinked and looked at Carlisle blankly. His face was a reflection of mine.
"Leo" Alice said quietly. I looked at her, her face was thoughtful.
"Yes?"
"What's your gift?" She wondered. He shrugged.
"I don't know. I've been a vampire for about three years now or maybe more and I didn't figure out what it is. I think I don't have one" He said honestly.
"Hmmm" Alice's eyebrows pulled together.
"Think aloud, Alice" Jasper said. I read it in her thoughts. I turned to stare at Leo. It could be true.
"Victoria sends Leo here, Edward starts getting the pain, Leo doesn't know his power…" she mumbled.
"huh?" Emmet said.
"Don't you see? Victoria obviously knows what Leo's power is. She sent him here so he could use it unconsciously. I think Leo's power is what's putting Edward in pain. I think he is causing this"
"What pain? I didn't…" Leo started but Alice stopped him.
"We know. It's just a theory" Alice shrugged.
"hm I dunno Alice." Carlisle thought.
"Think about it. It all fits"
"It could be true but still far fetched" Esme said her eyes on Leo and me.
"I've…I've been causing you…pain?" Leo whispered appalled. His face was horrified and in his thoughts he was disgusted with himself.
I gave him a small smile, "It's ok. I understand that you didn't mean it. It would have really sucked if you meant it" I grinned sarcastic. He smiled a small smile back but then turned serious.
"How am I doing it?" Please tell me that you know so that I could stop it. Please! please! please!
I smiled again, "Sorry, I wish I knew" He sighed and looked at Carlisle. He was still in deep thought. He looked back at me and asked.
"Now what?" I didn't have an answer to that question. We were all silent for a while till Carlisle broke it.
"Call her" He said simply. We all stared at him. I didn't see where he was taking this.
"I ….call her?" He stuttered. I could kill her if I heard her voice. Try to kill Bella. Is she mad?!
"Yes, that's the only way to find out the truth" Carlisle nodded, "Tell her that you hated us and that you want to do anything to hurt us. Tell her you wished you had a gift to be able to hurt us. In other words make her think that you hate us as much as she does. If she senses that there is no doubt that she'll tell you everything." Wow! Carlisle just gets smarter by every century.
"that's brilliant Carlisle" I said nodding to him with a smile, "Do you think you can do that Leo? Please?" I asked politely.
He was still in shock. He stared at me for a while then he thought. She tried to kill Bella. That snapped him out of his brief shock and nodded with a firm face.
"When are you going to call her?" I asked hoping it would be soon. I didn't want to suffer again from the pain. I winced as I remembered it.
"I won't call her" He said with a smirk on his face. She'll have to pay for trying to hurt Bella he thought darkly.
My eyebrows shot up. "What are you going to do?"
His smirk widened, "I'll go to her"
