Author's note: Finally! It's actually my plot now. Some of the things that Edward does are what Stephenie Meyer says he does but what is Edward not telling Bella?
Visiting Tanya
I caught a few deer then took off, grabbing my wallet and jumping over the river in one long stride. After that, I didn't know what to do with myself. It was really pathetic. So I sat and I plotted. Where was the logical place for Victoria to go? She probably wanted to regroup which meant if I found Laurent, I would find Victoria. Luckily for me, I had a vampire memory. He said he was interested in our lifestyle. He was going to Denali. That meant visiting Tanya. She would surely know that I was single again. Extremely single. Damn it all, I wasn't going to Tanya's. I refused. But in order to save Bella, I had to find Victoria. I sighed. It was time to see Tanya.
"Edward!" Tanya cried, exuberant.
Hello, Edward. Oh, he looks as perfect as ever. He must have come to his senses. It's about time!
I stood frozen as she looked over me, triumph in her eyes. I should have realized she would think that I had come back for her.
"Tanya, I believe there's a mis-"
"Shhh," she interrupted, pressing a cool finger to my lips. "I just want to savor the moment. Mmmmm… I'm so glad you've finally dumped that human girl. I knew she wasn't right for you. We should thank Jasper for bringing you to your senses, Eddie." I growled at her annoying nickname. She giggled.
"Tanya," I began again. "I'm afraid that, um, well…"
"Yes?" She inquired.
"I'm afraid that there's been a misunderstanding."
"Oh. OH!" her expression soured. "Then why come back? Don't tell me you did some sort of romantic "leaving for her" crap on your human girlfriend."
I stayed silent.
"Oh, good Lord, Edward. You really know the way to a woman's heart," she said sarcastically. "Well, what do you need if it's not me?" She winked. I rolled my eyes.
Still as annoying as ever. I guess it's not true what they say. Love doesn't soften the heart now does it?
"So, where is everyone?" I asked amiably, ignoring her thoughts.
"I don't know. Hunting or something. What do you want? You never come up for a nice, little chat."
"Is it really so wrong of me to want to talk with my dear cousin Tanya?"
"Yes. Obviously. What do you want?" She demanded.
I sighed. "Where's Laurent?"
"Who? Oh, Irina's little fling?"
"What? He was dating Irina?"
"Yes. He left though, he said he had something to do for a friend. I don't know if I believe him. I think he was sneaking in some people with the moose."
I stiffened. A friend that might be…
"Was the friend's name Victoria?"
"Yes. How did you know that?"
But I wasn't listening to her question. Either he was going after me or he was going after Bella.
"When did he leave?" I asked her, my voice hard.
"Just a few hours ago. His eyes were very dark. I don't know if he'll be able to contain himself if he happens across somebody," she stated worriedly.
From what I could gather of Laurent's mind, in the few minutes I had spoken to him, he liked to savor his meals. Which meant either torture or getting very thirsty before….
"Actually," she added. "He said she had promised him a snack of some sorts…"
Oh, Tanya. When will you ever learn that Edward isn't interested? If you think Tanya is being stupid, review! But you don't actually have to say anything about Tanya if you don't want to.
