Chapter 8: the plan
I woke up on Edward's couch. Light shined through the window; it hit my toes, glimmering off into a million directions. That's when I remembered I was turned into a vampire. I sat straight up, I quickly felt the hunger within me. I looked at my hands, pale and gorgous. I walked over to the mirror. I was strikingly beautiful. I was stunned. I didn't know my looks could get like this. I just stared, open mouthed at myself.
"Ahem," called Edward from the doorway. I now saw his reflection in the mirror. He was leaning against the doorway, hands in pockets. He started walking my way, and putting his arms in the position of a hug. I spun around, hugging him tightly. It felt good to know he could hug me fully, without breaking my bones or anything. "How does it feel?"
"Strange," I told him. It did, it was like, you know that you're here, alive, but you know that you're dead, because you can't quite hear your own pulse.
"Yes, that's what it's going to feel like for the rest of eternity. Come on, I bet you're hungry. Let's go hunting." We left the room, and I greeted all of the Cullens.
"Welcome home Bella," is what most of them said. Edward pulled me outside and around to the forest.
"Wow, I'm full," I smiled.
"Mhm, so what's your favorite?"
"Um, probably Elk."
"Oo, that's a good one." We walked back to the house, holding hands of course, when Alice ran up to us.
"You guys, the Volturi is on their way. Since it's been 3 days, and you haven't met them yet, they're coming this way! Hurry, come inside, we need a plan." We ran inside, and the speed felt great, just to let you know. Everyone took a seat on the sofa and couch. Edward and I sat on the loveseat. (hehe).
"Ok," started Esme. "Who thinks we should ask the werewolves for help?" 4 hands shot in the air. "Ok, it's a tie." She ran into the other room, and I could actually see her move now. I cuddled under Edward's arm. "We are flipping a quarter." Everyone groaned.
"Why are you guys groaning?"
"Because, with vampires, we don't really know why, but the quarter ALWAYS lands on the side. We have no idea why," Jasper told me.
"Oh," I thought for a minute. "Then why don't you guys use a baseball bat, the way they do. Throw the bat in the air, someone catches it, and you keep building your hands up, and the person with the hand on top chooses." They all looked around.
"Works for me!" called Emmett. Everyone agreed. Did becoming a vampire make me smarter too? Cool. Carlisle ran to get a baseball bat.
"Bella and Rosalie, you two." We walked up. We did the thing, and I won.
"Werewolves come." I announced. Carlisle pulled out his cell phone and talked to Sam. His lips were still moving fast, but I could understand him now. I looked at Carlisle, and then at every person of my new family. Emmett was talking to Jasper, Edward and Alice were talking, and Esme was watching Carlisle. Rosalie was the one that freaked me out the most. She was glaring at me, with those dark eyes. What did I do to her? She didn't stop looking at me.
"Ok everybody, the dogs will be here briefly." Even when he spoke she didn't look away from me. I was the one who pulled away from her glare. I sank back into Edward's chest, and he started whipsering to me.
"Bella, sweetie, the only reason why Rosalie's glaring at you is because you she thinks you threw your life away. You know she would've taken it, and she can't stand someone just so easily give theirs away." I did know that she did want me to stay human, but that was my desion, right? Right. A knock on the door startled me.
Sam, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Leah, and 2 other werewolves walked in. I smelled how bad they smell! It was sort of like rotten eggs and wet dog drenched in bleach. I held me breath. I smiled at Jacob, and Edward growled at him.
"Ok," spoke Carlisle. "There are 3 Volturi member's here; Marcus, Jane, and Caucis. But beware of Jane, she has a horrible power, she can torture you, but not actually, she inflicks in into your mind, but you're not really getting harmed physically. (If one other has a power, ignore it :)) The other 2 are just there. I have a small plan to work. Any quesitons so far?" No answer. "Good, here's what'll happen. All us vampires will stand in a line at the clearing, facing the way they will come. You, er, werewolves, will hide in the trees behind them, so they will pass you. Don't get them yet. They will come into the clearing, and stand there, having a brief conversation with us. When that is happening, I want all you," he pointed at the werewolves, "to sneak up on them. They will be trapped, and that's when we all attack. Any questions?"
Sam did. "And while were attacking, what if Jane uses her power on us?"
"I don't think she can do mulitple people. We can do this people!" corrected Carlisle. It all sounded possible. "Alice, when will they arrive?"
Alice closed her eyes for a minute. "27 minutes. Let's move! Because they're moving fast!" She jumped up on the couch and headed for the door. Jasper jumped up to and held her arm, keeping her from going.
"Slow down there bucko!" he teased. She waited impatiently as we all got up.
At the clearing, we all got into postion. "Alice, how long do we have?" I questioned. She closed her eyes again.
"3...2...1...they're here," We all looked at the opening to the clearing and there they were. Fighting time!
(SWEET-STUFF063, is this longer? R&R PEOPLE!!! OR YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE ENDING!!!!)
