OKAY! SORRY FOR THE LONG TIME! SCHOOL STARTS IN JUNE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE SCHOOL IS SO HARD! NOT TO MENTION THAT MY TEACHERS ARE EITHER BORING, STRICT OR FUN, BUT THE LAST ONE IS LIKE ONE OR TWO ONLY...ANYWAY, ENJOY THE NEXT CHAPTER!
"Bella, may I talk to you for a moment?" my mom asked. I could sense that she was a bit tense. I looked at Edward, who was looking puzzled. Mom's blocking her mind using Alice's technique. We were currently at my place in Konoha and the rest of the family are about to go hunting. The wedding was in almost 2 months and we were going to put off college for a year.
"Fine." I sighed. "Have a nice trip, Edward." I smiled at him. He smiled back as he pecked me on the lips.
"We won't be long." he assured me, then disappeared. I sighed and turned to mom, who was still looking stiff.
"What is it?" I asked her.
"Can we wait for a few minutes? I just can't let your family hear this because I know you'd want to break it to them yourself." she looked pleading. I nodded. What is she so pale about? When a few moments passed, I raised my eyebrow at her.
"What's got your ass in knots?" I asked her.
"She's alive." she whispered painfully. I was baffled.
"Who's alive?" I asked. I don't like her expression right now.
"Alicia." she spoke so low that I almost didn't hear her. Alicia? Why does that sound so familiar to me? I racked my brain for possible memories of her, but nothing came up except a very blurry image. I can't even make out the shapes. Once the blurred image was in my mind, it disappeared quickly. "You probably don't remember because we had to put a seal on you." she sighed sadly. A seal? I thought that the thing on my lower back was just some artistic birthmark or another tattoo that I may have forgotten how it got there.
"Who's Alicia?" I asked, confused. Mom put both of her hands on my shoulders and looked me straight in the eye.
"I promised you that I wouldn't do this, but I can't let it! She's about to die! You need to save her!" she shook her head. She looked as though she was deciding against whatever it was. Somehow, I knew there was something missing in my life, and I think that the seal has something to do with it.
"Whoever Alicia is, I'm going to save her. But first," I said, taking my mom's hands off of my shoulders. "Undo the seal." I commanded. She bit her lip.
"I promised you..." she trailed off, as though an idea came into her mind. "You were the one who asked us to put the seal because you thought she was dead. The seal was to forget her, and..." she trailed off again. I was getting irritated.
"And who?" I asked. She bit her lip harder and avoided my eye. "Mom, come on! Who did the seal wipe from my memory and how are they related to me?" I asked her, my patience worn off. She sighed.
"Just promise me you won't regret this." she asked me, her eyes pleading again.
"I might actually thank you." I mumbled. She looked at my eyes again, her eyes dubious, before sighing.
"Alright. Let me just get the ceremony prepared. Come to the seal room in an hour." she said. I nodded. Wow, it must be a tricky seal if it needs an hour of preparation. When she was about to run, I grabbed her arm.
"Who's the other one?" I asked, my eyes hard. I seriously can't take anymore of this torture!
"2." she replied. 2? What is that supposed to mean? She looked at my confused expression and added, "2 people. In total, we've erased 3 people from your complete memory." she said.
"I'l go with you." I said. She nodded and we started running. "Who's the other 2? And who exactly is Alicia?" I had more questions to ask. I was curious. Her face contorted in pain.
"You'll remember everything. But the other 2...one of them you loved dearly and the other one...your ex-best friend that betrayed you." she whispered the last part painfully. What the hell? Ex-best friend. I racked my brain...but there was only a sound of a dark chuckle and a faint voice of a soothing voice in my ear as I screamed in agony again. As soon as I heard the voices, they immediately disappeared as well. Soon enough, we reached the building of the Hokage, where the seal room was located.
"Are they still alive?" I asked. She sighed.
"The other one, no, but the ex-best friend...I don't know." she sighed. What is that supposed to mean? "Just wait, okay? An hour." she said and ran to the direction of the room before I could say goodbye. If she wasn't going to talk to me for the rest of the hour, then why am I here? I sighed and looked for someone I could get information from. Then something dinged in my brain. I sprinted towards the familiar direction of the Yamanaka flower shop. When I got there, I saw Ino reading a magazine.
"Welcome to our shop." She looked up at me and smiled. "Oh, sensei, it's you." she grinned. I tried to grin back, but I was too troubled to do so. Her face immediately turned to worried. "What's wrong?" she asked. I walked to the counter and looked around.
"Sai not here today?" I asked. She shook her head.
"He's out for a mission, so I'm all alone for a few days." she sighed sadly. At least there was going to be no interruption.
"Ino, what do you kno—"
"Yo, Ino." Sasuke went in the room, along with the rest of team 7, including Kakashi-sensei. A small vein popped in my head at the interruption, but I kept it in me.
"Ah, what are you guys doing here?" Ino asked.
"Kakashi won't train me and everyone else has nothing to do." Naruto grunted. "Oh, hello, sensei." Naruto added when he saw me. I sighed. Since Kakashi's here, I'm sure he's know about Alicia and the others.
"Kakashi-sensei, do you, by any chance, know who—"
"Good morning." Renai-nee-chan came in with Lily and Hinata. The vein got a bit bigger, but, like earlier, I kept it to myself. "Kinda crowded here today." she commented. Well, she was a former Jonin. I'm sure she'd know about Alicia.
"Nee-chan, do you know wh—"
"What's up?" Gai-sensei came in with Lee. I think I let some of my anger slip. Is this everyone's new hangout place or something?!
"Good morning, everyone." Ino greeted, sweat dropping. I took a breath before asking again.
"Kakashi-sensei, Nee-chan, do you—"
"Kakashi." an ANBU went through the door. "The Hokage is requesting for you." he said. Kakashi sighed. I guess that, if Kakashi's the one performing the seal lifting ceremony, he knows the origin of it, but I feel like castrating the ANBU right now.
"Well, I wouldn't want to get beaten up like Jiraiya-san." he said and walked out of the door, waving, without giving me a chance to ask. I gritted my teeth slightly before asking again.
"Alright. Nee-chan, do—"
"Why's everyone in here?" Shikamaru asked. My vein was pretty huge now and I couldn't help it anymore.
"Will everyone except for Renai-nee-chan and Ino step out of the building?" I asked evenly, smiling. The vein on my head was obvious, but they still didn't get the message. "Before I hand you're necks in the underground canal." I added, smiling even more. They all scurried away but Nee-chan and Ino stayed. "That's much better." the vein on my head disappeared. I may have a temper, but my violence doesn't pop in until the last minute. I turned to Ino and Nee-chan.
"You wanted to ask something?" Ino asked. I nodded as I took Lily in my arms.
"Mom was acting strange today." I started, playing with Lily's hair. "She said that Alicia's alive. Who's Alicia?" I asked. They seemed to pale when they heard the name.
"A-Alicia's a-alive?" Nee-chan asked in bewilderment. "But how?" she asked.
"I won't know how she's alive until I get at least the basics on whoever she is!" I screamed in frustration, making Lily cry. "Oh, I'm sorry, baby. Stop crying, please. I don't like seeing people cry." I hugged her tighter. She calmed down a bit and wanted to get down. I put her down and she walked everywhere, smelling the flowers. I turned back to the 2. "I need to know even a bit about her if I'm going to be saving her." I reasoned with them. Renai-nee-chan was pale, but still bewildered, while Ino was just pale.
"Everyone had direct orders from the Hokage not to speak of Alicia, or the others." Ino said when she'd regained composure, mumbling the last part. I was going to scream again, but I remembered that Lily was here.
"Then bend the rules. Write it down, sign language, anything!" I reasoned with them. Ino shook their heads.
"As much as I love to bend the rules, this one is a complete exemption." Ino sighed. What the hell? Why is it an exemption? Then an ANBU went through the door.
"Bella-san, you're mother is requesting for you now." he said. What?! She said an hour! It's only been...wait, half an hour already? I sighed.
"Fine." I grumbled and ran to the building. Usually, 30 minutes before a ceremony, the person must prepare. The ANBU went in another direction. Why the hell did Nee-chan and Ino pale when they heard Alicia's name? And mom ordered everyone to stay quiet about this? Is it that bad? When I reached the outside of the room, I saw that Kakashi was reading his porn book again. He didn't sense me coming, so I grabbed his book and held it high.
"Hey! Respect your elders." he looked at me with a passive look in his eye.
"Just tell me first. Who the hell is Alicia?" I demanded. He stood up and sighed.
"You'll find out in a bit." he answered. "And you're not really taller than me." I could see through his mask that he was smirking as he grabbed the book from me. I pouted.
"At least tell me why mom said that no one should talk about it in the village." I whined.
"Well, she just said that you'd force the answer out of her." he shrugged. "Anyways, the ceremony was going to be faster than expected." he added. Before I could retort, mom came out of the room.
"Kakashi, continue with the preparations." she commanded. Kakashi sighed again and went inside. Then she turned to me. "Bella, when you find out about the missing part of your life, immediately save Alicia." she instructed. I nodded. "The Cullens will be back by tonight, considering they always rush their trips and they have more prey in our forests than in Forks." she informed me.
"I know. When I go on the mission, what will the rest of the Cullens do?" I asked. She sighed sadly.
"It's another confrontation between you and your family. You need to take them with you on this mission." she said. I bit my lip. When the Cullens see me fighting in a real mission...I just can't seem to wrap my mid around the fact that their going on a mission with m—
Wait...CONFRONTATION?! What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!
"Mom, confrontation? What—"
"All ready." Kakashi announced, popping his head out of the door. "Let's go." he beckoned. I guess the faster this is over with, the better. I stepped inside and mom followed. I went in the middle of the huge circle in the center of the room. Kakashi, mom, Shizune and 2 other ANBU surrounded the circle.
"Hi, Bella." Shizune greeted. I smiled back. Then mom nodded and they did some hand signals. A bright white light was coming from the center of the circle, increasing it's brightness as everyone kept repeating the same set of signals. Then I felt as though someone was pulling my skin off. I screamed in agony as memories came rushing back into my head. 2 guys named Aaron and Anton. Anton was the ex-best friend and Aaron was my true first love. The pain increased as pictures of a girl with black hair flashed in my mind. The pain was excruciatingly painful now. A lot of images kept swirling in my mind and in a snap, the pain halted and the images stopped swirling. I remember everything now.
"Alicia, Aaron, Anton..." I murmured as my knees gave out. I gulped as everything made sense. Remembering these people, how do I face the Cullens now?
EPOV
Just a bit more blood and I can see my beloved again. Through the week that we've been here, I noticed that where she came from was very different. Ninjas, curses, reviving people from the dead, extraordinary medical techniques...This week has been blissful, besides the times that Emmett would complain to Bella about teaching him to be a ninja. The village also seems to be quite eventful, be it danger or party. When I found out about Bella's secret, I was shocked, but I wasn't angry. A secret like this...she had the right to keep it to herself. The part where I was shocked the most is how much she can arouse me with her voice. It always seemed so lustful, but it was just natural for her.
Edward, if you don't want to delay our time because I'm going to fuck Alice here and now, then stop the lust, I heard Jasper think, snickering. I smirked.
"You're just jealous that my wife's hot." I chuckled. Jasper rolled his eyes.
"I have a wife that I love dearly, thank you very much." he retorted, earning a kiss from the cheek from Alice. Then Alice blanked out, a vision occurring.
Vision:
Bella was everywhere in the house, preparing for a mission, I guess. But something was different with her. She had the same expression when she was trying to keep her ninja secret from us. What's going on? When she saw us, she stopped moving around and was in front of us. It wasn't as fast as a vampire, but it was close to half.
"Um, I need to go on a mission, but I think Edward should come with me." she bit her lip. I was shocked. Why was she taking me to her mission? "There's no one else to accompany me and it's a bit tough for a rescue mission." she answered my unspoken question. I smiled.
"Alright. I'm your knight in shining armor." I touched my finger to the tip of her nose.
"Ooh! I wanna come!" Emmett kept jumping up and down like when Alice won the beauty pageant, but being a vampire, she cheated. Bella sighed.
"Sorry, Em. I can only being one person." she apologized, but she still looked as tense as when her mother asked Bella to talk to her just this morning. He pouted.
"Rose, Alice, Esme, tell Bella to take me with her instead of Edward." he whined. I rolled my eyes. The girls didn't say anything as the others went into their own worlds—Rose in the garage with Bella's cars, Alice in Bella's closet, Esme sketching under the moonlight and Carlisle had stopped at the hospital to volunteer and watch them perform the medical stuff. Again. Emmett stomped his way to his room, breaking a few steps on the stairs.
"Emmett, fix that!" We heard Esme shout from where she was. Emmett grumbled about fixing it later and went inside his room. Bella turned to me.
"I'm sure you won't need nin weapons, but just prepare what you have to. We leave at dawn." she said as she continued jumping around the house. I chuckled. She told me that a ninja should be prepared for everything. Is this how they prepare?
End of vision
Alice snapped back to it and giggled. I smirked. All that's left for us to do here is Rosalie's last animal and hiding the corpses of the animals.
"Alice, what was the vision about?" Jasper asked. Alice's grin got even wider.
"You'll see." she chirped as she started hiding the corpses of the animals she drank from. Jasper looked at the spot she was standing on a bit more before sighing and hiding the corpses as well. I did the same and saw that everyone else was doing the same thing in vampire speed.
I'll stop by the hospital tonight, Carlisle thought to me. I smirked.
"Yeah, I know." I chuckled again. I took out my phone and called Bella after I finished hiding the dead bodies. I waited for a few rings, but she wasn't answering. When her voice came in voicemail, I hung up and tried calling her again. She would never leave her phone unanswered, nor would she leave it just anywhere. I waited again, but nothing. I decided to go to her voicemail.
"Love, why aren't you answering? We're about to go home. Just cleaning up. Call back the moment you got this message. I love you." I hung up the phone. I sighed.
"She isn't answering." Rose stated. "I wonder why." she said, purely curious with no malice at all. The last time she had malice towards Bella was before she came back to the village. I shrugged.
"Well, we're going back already. She's probably being briefed on a mission or something." I remembered she told me that she'd volunteer for missions. We went to our cars and went back to the village. Carlisle was in the car with me. I dropped him off at the hospital and drove home. I could sense that it was only her in the house, but she was moving a lot. I smirked. She was preparing for her mission. I parked in the garage and went out. Emmett's jeep arrived next, then Jasper's bike where Alice and Jasper was riding.
Edward, I don't think you'll need anything in that mission, Alice informed me mentally. I nodded. We went through the door, but it seems that she didn't notice us. She was jumping around the house as fast as she can, grabbing weapons, a mini-first aid kit and a belt bag to carry it all. Then she abruptly stopped in front of us. It just occurred to me that it was weird that she didn't greet me with a kiss or a hug when I got back like she used to.
"Um, I need to go on a mission, but I think Edward should come with me." she stated a bit nervously, biting her lip. "There's no one else to accompany me and it's a bit tough for a rescue mission." she added. I smiled.
"Alright. I'm your knight in shining armor." I grinned as I touched the tip of her nose, but another thing that also occurred to me is she's not blushing. Her skin is paler than ever. She doesn't even look as though she comprehended what I just said.
"Ooh! I wanna come!" Emmett sang. I forgot all about the vision when I saw Bella's condition. Bella looked a bit panicked.
"Sorry, Em. I can only bring one person." she sighed, losing all traces of panic. Emmett scowled.
"Rose, Alice, Esme, tell Bella to take me instead of Edward." he cried, his voice echoing in the house. I didn't even notice anyone leaving to go do their own stuff. When no one answered, Emmett bit his lip in anger and stomped his way to his room. The steps broke and I could hear Esme's angry thoughts.
"Emmett, fix that." Esme tried to keep herself from growling. Emmett was muttering something about doing it later and Bella started jumping around again. I was worried. Something was off with her. I don't know what it is, but she's really tense. The vision wasn't even complete.
"Love, are you alright? You weren't answering your phone earlier." I asked her, my eyes following her fast-moving form.
"Yeah. I just had it on silent earlier. I really need to prepare for this mission." she said. She was nervous. Why? What happened while we were gone? Does it have something to do with the talk with her mother earlier? Then she yawned.
"Tired?" I asked. She nodded. I approached her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Well, go to sleep. We've got an early day tomorrow." I led her up the stairs, towards the direction of the room. She was practically leaning on me. What wore her out so much? Probably volunteering for something. When we got to the bed, her eyes were already closed, but her heart beat says she's still awake. Even so, I carried her and laid her on the bed gently. "Good night." I murmured, kissing her forehead. She mumbled a good night as well, though, even as a vampire, I could barely understand it. What's weird thought is that her heart's been beating quite nervously since we got home.
"Bella, wake up." I shook her, but she only groaned. I sighed and went into bed with her. "Bella, come on. Wake up, love." I urged, but she only groaned. "You leave me no other choice." I smirked as I wrapped my arms around her. Her back was to me. I started fluttering my fingers, tickling her. She laughed and squirmed.
"S-Stop, E-edwa-ard." she gasped. I stopped. She was so cute! During times like these, I'd forget that she was the best seductress in the village. She turned to me with an annoyed tone. Before she could speak, I cut her off as I touched the circles under her eyes.
"I thought you got a good sleep last night?" I asked her, my voice laced in worry. She frowned.
"I guess I had some nightmares." she obviously lied. Her facial expression may have convinced me that monkeys came from the moon, but what I heard last night was different. It was peaceful and she barely said a word. She was deep asleep and she didn't even shout. I stayed with her for a few hours until I started getting a new idea for a new composition for a piano piece. I let it go. I won't force her to tell me if she isn't ready to.
"Well, I've already taken a shower. We need to leave for that mission in 15 or so minutes." I said. She stood up and grabbed some clothes from her closet. "And I already told Alice that she won't need to dress you up for the mission." I added as she went to the bathroom.
"Oh, okay. Just wait a bit. And I won't need breakfast." she replied as she closed the door to the bathroom. I sighed as I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes. She's been acting weird for a while now. What's wrong with her? I'm sure that from what I know about Bella, she wouldn't take me with her to a mission.
Dumb prude. Why does he get to go with Bella on a mission? I'm a better candidate for an accompaniment than him, Emmett thought bitterly. I rolled my eyes. A kid as always.
"Just accept it, Em." I muttered in a low voice that only the vampires in this house would hear me.
Fuck out of my mind, old geezer, Emmett replied angrily in his mind. Wow, old geezer? He's been hanging out with Naruto too much.
"Real mature, Emmett." I rolled my eyes. He just growled. "I promise that I'll ask Bella to teach you the cool stuff after the mission." I sighed at my promise. His thoughts immediately turned cheerful again and I smirked. "And I'm the one with the mood swings." I snickered. The I grimaced when I saw what he was thinking about. "Emmett, I don't think I need to know how you and Rose could play with sex toys at our next school." I made a gagging sound. Seriously, Emmett wants to apply as a teacher so that he can fuck with Rose, who'll be her student. And he brought a dildo, a vibrator and all that stuff. Disgusting! I heard Bella come out of the bathroom. I turned my head to her, smiling.
"Sex toys at our next school?" Bella made a disgusting face. I guess I wasn't able to say that so soft after all. I gave her a smile and I heard her heart speed up. I chuckled. It was kind of a routine for us. I went to her and wrapped my arms around her, nuzzling my head in her hair as I inhaled her shampoo.
"Your smell is always so enticing." I commented as I let go of her and slipped my hand in her small ones. "Shall we go?" I asked. She nodded, grabbing her belt bag. "Are you sure you don't want to eat breakfast?" I asked.
"We need to get there as soon as possible, so I'll just have a take out somewhere. Or crackers, probably." she shrugged. I nodded as we walked out to the jet. She was driving and I was wondering whether or not to prepare us for a safe landing on the ground. I've seen her drive before and the humans who were on board were pale after the drive. I chuckled at the memory. Bella looked at me strangely. I shook my head.
"Just reminiscing." I told her. She nodded and we stopped in an open field. "So, where's the jet?" I asked. She shook her head.
"We're going to Moscow on a different ride." she smiled as she put her hands together. She did some actions with her hands and in a puff of smoke, what appeared made me gape. That butterfly was even bigger than our mansion and Emmett's ego put together!
"Hi, Bella!" the butterfly greeted. I paled. Butterflies can talk?!
"Hi, Cho!" Bella greeted back just as happily.
"W-W-We're riding on that?!" I exclaimed, my skin colder than usual. Bella looked at me and nodded, smirking at probably my expression. I gulped at her confirmation. We're riding all the way to Moscow on a butterfly. Won't the arial military forces notice?!
"Well, hop on." Bella smiled. I reluctantly walked on top of the butterfly at human speed. "Cho, take us to Moscow." she said as she jumped on her back. The butterfly—Cho—smiled and she started lifting herself from the ground. Then something occurred to me.
"How are we supposed to get take out on a flying butterfly?" I asked Bella. She patted her belt bag, saying that she has food in it.
"What's the dig in Moscow, by the way?" Cho asked happily. I can't seem to read the butterfly's mind either. I guess it's going to be a bit of a silent ride to Moscow. Bella's face contorted in pain and misery. What? Why is she looking like that?
"Um, Alicia's in danger." she said. Even if I'm not the empath, I could feel Cho's shock.
"Who's Alicia?" I asked. Bella bit her lip. What's she hiding from me this time?
"The girl we're going to save." she replied as she looked away. Before she did, I saw that her eyes were filled with pain.
"Who are we going to save her from?" I asked. It only occurred to me now that I don't know anything about this mission except that it's a rescue mission.
"I don't know." she whispered painfully. I wrapped an arm around her, hoping to comfort her. She inched away. "Sorry, Edward. I can't right now." she shook her head sadly at me. I was shocked the moment she moved away. Why would she get away from me? Did I do something wrong? Did I smell bad or something? She hugged her knees to her chest as she rocked slightly. The wind picked up by a lot and we were moving twice as fast as an airplane would go. I watched out for Bella in case she might fall of at the force of the wind, but she looked as though she was just sitting on the ground.
"By the way, Bells, who's the guy?" Cho asked.
"I'm her fiancee." I answered, my voice having to become louder for her to hear me. The wind was making such a loud commotion that if I were human, I almost wouldn't have heard what she asked.
"Oh, congrats then." I could sense her smile.
"By the way, how long until we reach Moscow?" I asked.
"About 3 hours since the village is hidden in Arizona." she answered. I sighed. This is gonna be a long ride.
We got off of Cho and she gave us a smile before disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Bella had already eaten breakfast. I'd force her to eat more, but there was a life at stake here. I tried asking Bella about Alicia, but she kept on giving me the vaguest things.
"Get ready to run." she said. We were going to be hiding in the trees so that the humans won't suspect us. Even is it's only 3 am here, it's better to be safe than sorry. She sniffed the air and her eyes did that weird thing where it gets veins at the sides. She started jumping and I followed her. "I've gotten a sure trail of the scent. She's at a—" she stopped talking, halting her jumping. I stopped jumping as well and went to her side. Her face was completely pale and she was shaking. Then she suddenly growled. "That BASTARD!" she shouted. She jumped even faster and more aggressive, making cracks in the branches. I followed her, having a difficulty in keeping up with her. I'm not really used to tree jumping.
"Love, we shouldn't wake the nearby people." I warned her softly, trying to calm her down.
"I don't care about the fucking neighbors right now! All I want is Alicia saved and the bastard killed by my hands." she barked at me. I took in a breath, shocked. I thought killing was always her last result. I was even more shocked when I smelled a vampire nearby. The nearer we got to the location of the girl named Alicia, the nearer we got to the vampire. What does this mean? That a vampire was the one who has Alicia captive? No, that can't be right. Bella told me that Alicia had been in Konoha her whole life and we were the first vampires that stepped in the village. I heard my phone ringing—Alice. I ignored it. There was an even bigger threat at hand.
"What's their exact location?" I queried.
"An abandoned ware house. The area around the location doesn't have much civilians wandering around, nor is there any living there." she informed me. She's never been this formal with me before. I sighed as I tried to look for a ware house. I saw it, but if I were human, I wouldn't have seen it. It was around 3 kilometers from here and it was the size of a dot from my sight. I caught up with Bella and carried her and just ran there in vampire speed. How was a vampire able to kidnap someone from the village and why does he or she make Bella's blood boil. When we got there, I saw a guy with blonde hair and topaz leaning against the doorway to the ware house. I guess he's an evil vegetarian.
"Anton." Bella greeted stiffly as she got down on her own. The guy named Anton smirked at her as he lifted himself from the doorway.
"Ah, Bella." he greeted happily. He's even faker than Aro. "And you're vampire lover. What brings you here?" he asked pleasantly.
"Hand over Alicia." she growled. He chuckled.
"Oh, dear Bella. I can't." he smiled fakely. "I don't want to." he added. She growled again. "I'm her parent. Why should I hand her over to someone as incompetent as you?" he asked. I ran at him at vampire speed, pinning him against the wall.
"Don't you ever call her incompetent." I snarled, my teeth baring. He smirked.
"You're right. She isn't incompetent. She's just a person who can never tell anyone the truth, but I'm not calling her a liar." he chuckled. I slammed his head into the wall. "She can't even tell you about Alicia." he smirked. I growled.
"She'll tell me if it's that important." How could this person be so cruel to her?! I felt a hand on my shoulder. I didn't even turn around, too angry at the bastard in front of my face. Pitiful. She doesn't even tell her fiance, of all people. I wonder how long it will be before they get along again after he finds out, I heard Anton's thoughts. What the hell? What secret? Those are lies though, I'm sure of it.
"Edward, no. I'll deal with him." I heard Bella's pained voice. I didn't tear my gaze away from this Aaron guy. "Edward, please." she begged. I growled before reluctantly releasing him. I backed off a few steps, but kept Bella slightly behind me. Aaron tilted his head slightly as he sniffed.
"Bella, you're scent has always been so wonderful." he mused. I bared my teeth at him.
"Just give me Alicia and I'll give you a swift end." Bella stepped in front of me. I was going to put her behind me again, but when I saw how angry and serious she was, I let it go. I don't think I's want to mess with Bella right now. Anton just laughed.
"What makes you think I'll hand over my daughter to you." he emphasized. Wait, daughter? But he's a vampire, so since he isn't related to Alicia by blood, it's still kidnap. Bella snarled loudly.
"I don't give a fuck if she was your granddaughter!" she screamed at him. "You're not her legal guardian, but I"m sure you don't give a fuck about legal shit." she glared a glare that would've made Emmett pee his pants if he were human.
"No! Get away! It's a trap!" I could hear a girl of 7 or 8 years old scream. A human wouldn't hear it because she was probably put in a sound proof room. And I'm betting my Volvo that the girl's Alicia. If I try to run at Alicia now, Anton would stop me. And I could already sense other vampires around the area, probably 4. And a trap? What—Oh no! He's trying to kill Bella! We're outnumbered. But if Bella uses her clone technique, we might have a chance.
"If I'd known what you were from the start that you were a vampire, I wouldn't have wasted my time in keeping her away from you legally." she growled. Anton just chuckled.
"It was amusing, though. Watching you go around with a paper with you always." he smiled. "Alicia is actually having fun with me. So rest assured that you can go home—"
"You were always the person who'd think of the worst bullshit, Anton." Bella smirked, but her anger was still apparent. "Just give her to me, and I'll kill you as painfully as I can." she told him. He sighed.
"My patience is running out, dear Bella." he informed her. Who cares?
"And I should listen to you because...?" she asked. Since she still has the veins at the side of her head, I'm sure she'd already sensed the other vampires.
"Because of this." he snapped his fingers and a vampire was about to lunge at Bella. Before I could stop him, a ball of black swiftly hit him. The black ball turned out to be one of the nastiest smelling things I've ever encountered—a werewolf. Not just any were wolf, but Jacob Black.
I'm not exactly happy to see you, but I sensed vampires around the area. I also got your scent and thought you went rogue or something, fighting other vampires without reason he thought. I almost snorted. And I didn't come here to help you. I thought I sniffed Bella's scent, but where is she? And who's the chick? I sighed.
"I'll explain later. But thank you, Jacob." I said. He nodded.
Just take care of this first. Let's socialize later, he offered. I nodded. Bella—who had lunged at Anton the moment he snapped his fingers—had not noticed Jacob yet.
"You bastard. You really think you can keep her away from me?" she asked menacingly. Jacob lunged at a vampire, only to be hit by another vampire. So it's 2 against 1. I could sense about 3 more vampires coming. This is not good. Too much vampires to handle. Bella had took out her knife and put it against Anton's neck.
"You really think that that toy can kill me?" he spat at her. I went to another vampire, fighting him in the process. He tried to kick me in the guts, but he was too slow and I twisted his arms at it's fullest and put it behind his back, making him shout in pain. I tore off his arm, earning another scream.
No fair! Just because I'm the only werewolf, there are more leeches flirting...UGH! I would've snickered at Jacob's thoughts, but I was too preoccupied with killing the vampire under me.
"You're right. It's just my props." I heard the knife get through skin and then Anton's scream. That must've been a sharp knife. I tore the head of the vampire under me and heard him scream.
Hey, if you've finally taken care of that one, mind taking 1 off my hands?
"I'm a little full right now. I"ll see if I can squeeze you in my schedule." I said as I tore off the other arm. "Bella, prepare a fire." I looked at Bella, who was on Anton's shoulder and tearing off his head.
"In a bit." she replied. "Just let me take care of this bastard." she huffed as the head came off. Anton screamed even louder, louder than ever.
Wait! That's Bella?! But how?! Jacob's thoughts were in hay wire, but he kept on fighting. He hasn't separated any body part from them yet, though.
"Long story. That's why I'll explain later." I let out a breath as I tore off the leg. "Bella, this is a great time to start the fire already." I said in a hinting tone. "There are more coming soon." I added. Bella blew and fire came out as her breath. I threw in the pieces of the vampire and took one of the vampires that Jacob was dealing with, but Jacob had shocked thoughts about the fire. "Later." I told him as I took away another vampire. Another vampire got me from behind, grabbing my arms. The one I took from Jacob grabbed my legs. Bella kicked the vampire holding my legs, making him stumble back.
"No one messes with me or my family." she smiled at me, the first, real one I've seen in a while. "And hi, Jacob!" she greeted, waving at him. Jacob howled in return.
"Bella, Alicia, save her!" I screamed at her. Another vampire had appeared and outnumbered me.
"But, you..." she trailed off, dubious.
"GO!" I shouted as I struggled to get out of their hold. They've got both my arms and legs. I saw that Bella had ran inside the ware house. That's good. She's finally saved another precious life. Then I shouted in pain as the vampires pulled, trying to tear off my body parts. When I felt that they were about to come off, they pullings suddenly stopped. I laid still on the ground for a while, relieving the feel of numbness.
"I don't think this is the time to relax, Edward." I heard Alice's voice reprimanding me. I tilted my head a bit and saw that my whole family has the rest of the vampires under control.
"Do you mind? I still feel overstretched." I grunted as I saw that Emmett helped Jacob with the vampire. The fire started giving off a purple smoke and the last vampire gave his last scream before getting burned. Only now did I realize that Bella was the one who killed the mastermind this time instead of me. She really is amazing.
"Long time no see, mutt." Emmett grinned, holding his hand up for a hi-5 with him.
Leeches. He snorted in his mind as he shifted back to his human form. "It's a truce." he hi-fived Emmett. "For now." he added. Emmett smiled at him and just now, I saw Bella running out of the ware house with a child in her hands. The child was asleep. Bella was smiling and looking at Alicia in a way that confused me. I stood up and gasped. Standing up was too painful for my torso. Bella came to me and put down the child on the ground first. The girl had dirty blonde hair and her skin was as pale as ours. But she's human, right?
"This won't be painful, I promise." she assured me as her hands started glowing green. When her hands were laid on my body, I've never felt anything like it before. I could feel my body constricting and healing in a swift. When I felt that everything is done, she turned to Alicia and healed her wounds.
"What the hell is going on?!" Jacob asked, bewildered. I sighed.
"That's the true face of Bella, basically." I said. "If you want to know everything, then come with us." I offered. He nodded. "By the way, how did you guys get here, Alice?" I asked. She rolled her eyes.
"Well, you wouldn't answer your phone so that I could tell you that I saw this coming." she stuck her tongue out at me. I chuckled.
"Is that the Alicia girl?" Rosalie asked. I'm guessing she wanted to help Bella aid the child. Bella nodded. I could hear Alicia's heart beats getting faster, signaling that she's about to wake up. When she stirred, Bella immediately went to her side and cooed her.
"Are you alright, dear?" she asked her, worried. To be honest, I know she's warm-hearted, if you get past the seduction, but not this much.
"Yes." she answered as she sobbed into Bella's chest. "It's so great to see you again, mom." she gasped. I froze. Mom?
OKAY! I TOLD YOU IT WASN'T THE LAST CHAPTER! REVIEW!
