A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to update!!! Reviews fix that you know ;). But my schedule is exploding with stuff right now, and I wasn't really in the right frame of mind for any writing :'(. Anyway, trying to keep you from coming after me with torches and pitchforks, on with the show!
Chapter 9: Vampires!!!
RPOV
If Bella keeps this up with Jazz and it gets any farther along than flirting, I am going to lose my partner in crime.
It's so obvious they aren't even actually flirting, they're just faking it. Too bad Edward won't believe that.
BPOV
Soon after Rose and Edward had left Emmett decided that he was bored and came to find me. He and Alice skated over hand in hand.
He was really graceful for someone his size, it was a little unnerving. Alice though was dwarfed standing next to his huge frame.
"My delicious little Italian! Where is poor unsuspecting Eddie?" Emmett boomed, laughing.
Alice's chime-like laugh joined his. "I don't think he is so unsuspecting anymore Emm. Look," She pointed back to the food court where Edward and Rose were both sending death glares at Jazz and I. "I think they are just planning out how to kill Bella and Jazz."
I blushed enough that I was sure I would look like a tomato and looked down at my feet as we went to get them.
"Bella are you ready to film us attacking the defenseless humans?" Jasper whispered in my ear. I couldn't stifle a giggle as Rose reached over the table to put a hand on Edward's shoulder, reminding him to stay seated.
"Absolutely Jazz," I turned my face to look at him and made sure to block everything else out. "Just don't flirt with them or Eddie will get angry." He laughed back at me.
Luckily Emmett was completely oblivious or Edward probably would have strangled us both. "Are you ready to suck some blood?" He bellowed like a sports announcer.
Edward plastered a very fake looking smile on his face, straining from effort. "Yes Emmett. That is exactly how I would like to spend the next hour of my life." He grimaced, calling to us across the room.
Again Emmett was oblivious, this time to the obvious sarcasm in Edward's words. "Good for you, although that is a little strange… oh well it will be great and Bella is taping it!" He rubbed his hands together in excitement. He reached over to Jazz and grabbed his hand then pulled Edward up from his seat.
"Come my minions of the night! Onward to our feast!"
I laughed and readied the camera, waving to Jasper as he was towed away.
Giving Emmett a thumbs up Alice giggled and started the timer. Suddenly all three boys stood very still and it looked like they actually got paler, if that were even possible.
Jasper was the first to move, skating quickly and agilely towards a small girl who looked to be about 15. He came from behind her and spun quickly coming to a complete stop staring her dead in the face.
The girl was stunned to see him and I'm sure by his face as well. She skated right into him. As he caught her he dipped her down and his lips slowly turned up into a vicious smile. Even I had to admit it was scary to watch, I wouldn't want to be her. As it was though I couldn't stop from laughing, and I had to hand Alice the camera to keep it from shaking.
The girl scrambled to get out of his arms and ended up falling to Rosalie's great amusement. She eventually managed to stand and stumbled off the ice.
Emmett was next, he targeted a blond boy, and while he obviously thought himself attractive, he really wasn't.
Emmett skated straight at him head on, which caused the boy to try to swerve out of the way and he hit the wall. Emmett backed him right up against the edge of the rink and grabbed the boys hand, holding the inside of his wrist up to his nose. Inhaling deeply he let his mouth fall open just enough for Alice and I to see that he was in fact wearing very realistic looking fangs.
The boy just about passed out right there and screamed at his friends for help.
Next came Edward.
He sank low into a crouch, targeting a girl in the same group as Emmett's victim. She had masses of curly hair and was a little on the short side.
He took a very different approach than the other two, moving slowly towards his prey, making her think he was interested in more than scaring her half to death.
She glanced over her shoulder, winking at him and waving at him to join the group. He nodded without his face changing, still looking utterly bored.
When he caught up with the girl he grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to the center of the rink. Of course he would be all about the theatrics.
Edward spun the girl for a moment, taking his time (and way too much joy out of this). Then he pulled her in close and gently, ever so gently, bit her arm.
She shrieked and pulled away and when he grinned I could see he was wearing fangs as well.
The girl moved to slap him and he simply pushed around her and went back to Rose, pulling her into hug him and turning both of them so he could smirk at her. She huffed and went back to the boy Emmett had traumatized and showed him the marks.
--
This basically continued for the next hour, with slight variations, each boy trying different techniques. I realized at some point that Jasper had fangs as well, these boys couldn't have had time to buy these so I wondered why they would have them, but when I asked Alice she just laughed and said she would have them explain later.
Finally, after an hour of laughing until my sides hurt, I heard Rose counting down.
"They're done in, 5…4…3…2…1…0!" She exclaimed. "Edward!" she yelled across the rink to where Edward was working on his next victim.
Understanding what she was trying to tell him, he quickly bit the girl's arm and skated away, with Emmett and Jasper doing similar things to their victim's and following.
"That was way more fun than I thought it would be," Jasper laughed.
"Actually I thought it would be a little more fun than it was, there aren't very many people here to choose from." Emmett complained.
Alice giggled and grabbed his hand, "Let's go do some more tricks then Emm, that will be fun right?" I noticed she glanced over to Jasper when she said this, and I wondered why.
"It absolutely will be fun Alice, let's go," And Emmett towed her onto the ice once again.
Edward grabbed Rose's hand silently and pulled her over to the table they were sitting at earlier and they sat down to return to their scheming.
He continued to watch Jasper and I in his peripheral vision.
I decided he needed to see a little more of Jasper and myself flirting, so I looked at Jazz like he was the only one in the room and started talking.
"Jasper Hale," I began.
He looked at me, startled by my use of his full name. When he recovered he responded with, "Yes, Isabella Swan?"
"You like Alice." I stated this as a fact.
"Um, okay then," He stuttered back.
"You do, now admit it." I glared at him full force.
"Alright alright, you caught me." He frowned down at his feet. "I've actually liked her for a long time now," He mumbled just loud enough for me to hear.
"Didn't you meet her yesterday?" I asked, puzzled by his response.
"Well yes, but Emmett has shown me pictures of her and he tells me all about her, I have really known her as long as he has liked her. I just hadn't met her yet." His words were so sweet I couldn't help it.
"Aww! Jasper it'll be alright!" I threw my arms around him, hoping to comfort him somewhat, even if my head didn't quite clear his shoulder and I felt like I was a child hugging an adult.
"It's okay Bella," he laughed, hugging me back. "I've pretty much accepted that she's with Emmett, and I probably don't deserve her anyway." His last statement was way too blunt, and I was taken aback.
"Wait, rewind and say that again?"
"It's okay Bella?" he was confused.
"No after that, the last thing you said,"
"Oh, I probably don't deserve her anyway."
"Bullshit." This wasn't happening, those two belonged together and he knew it as well as I did, he couldn't just give up.
"Bella, I'm shocked that you would use such strong language with me," He joked.
"No Jazz, you are being a dipshit. You more than deserve her, you fucking belong with her." I stated it as a fact, because it was a fact! He knew it as well as I did and I would make him admit it if it killed me.
"Okay…?" He trailed off in question.
This was going to take a lot more work than I had hoped. But I would take on the challenge for their sakes, and I could tell Emmett had an eye out for Rosalie, and I wanted everyone to get straightened out.
A/N: Hope you liked this chapter, a lot was happening!!!
