The feeling coursing through my body is indescribable. I felt the uncontrollable need to leap across the tiny table separating us. My ridged body couldn't relax as I half ran to the exit.
"Who the hell are they Edward?" Boomed Emmett's fierce growl when we were huddled in the privacy near our lockers. Edward's special talent truly was an advantage in times such as these.
"They're the Walker 'family, '" Edward growled through a tight jaw. "Andrew, Theo, Christopher, Alec, and Cole." Edward's voice was low and cold. I could feel the tension in his voice.
"So…what do we do now?" These words felt insignificant in the magnitude of the moment, but I couldn't think of anything else to say…I was in shock.
"We finish today out…" Edward ordered. "Then, tonight… we consult with Carlisle and Esme… that's our only choice, they're as shocked as we are." Everybody looked uneasy, but slowly, with out another word we reached into our lockers and grabbed our books.
Alice was in my next class, so once we both had our things we scurried off to our next class, our senses keen. As we neared room 254 I stopped dead in my tracks, Alice shot me a look of horror. The same wretched smell was dancing underneath my nose, getting stronger as me moved.
"We have no choice right now." Alice's lips twitched as she spoke, taking another step forward with baited eyes.
When I opened the door I was stunned by a fresh wave of the hideous odor, and the fact that there were only two open seats… next to three of the vile dogs.
If it weren't for Alice pushing me along from behind …I would have turned around and left. I don't trust myself enough to be alone in a room with these sickening creatures for an enter class…
"Watch yourself Bella…" Alice warned to low for anybody else to hear. "They know what we are…" I could feel their probing eyes on my pale skin as I moved to one of the only empty seats, mere inches from a strong looking, dark haired, beast. I shot them an ice-cold look as I sat down, confidently, they may out number us… but they have no idea what Alice and I where capable of.
I carefully composed a deceiving façade of comfort and relaxation, while on the inside I was freaking out. I had to grab the under part of the desk to steady myself, with out intending to… I left handprints in the steal bar. The filthy animal next to me saw what I did, and immediately tensed up, understanding that I was no weakling. I had a difficult time controlling my strength in the presents of these beasts. The teacher passed out a worksheet that when I tried to write my name on, ripped through, leaving indents in the table, and breaking my pen. This class period seemed to drag on for ages, and I could feel that Alice felt the same way. Our last class together we talked freely, and laughed light heartedly. This class, neither one of us dared to speak, we were both focused on staying seated…and making it through this class with out incident.
When the bell finally rang I jumped up and gathered my things. When I looked up, I saw the three of the horrid dogs standing in front of Alice and me, blocking our way.
"We don't know what you filthy bloodsuckers think you doing, but you're not welcome here. This is our town, and if you're smart… you'll get the hell out." The animal spoke rapidly and hushed, with severe eyes.
"I don't know what you talking about." I said casually, mocking him with my eyes, as I pushed them aside and made a path for Alice and I right between them. Then, before I lost sight of them through the door I shot them a fierce look.
"Damn Bella…your scary…" Alice said, only a slight trace of tension left in her tone.
"Well, if those…animals…think that they threaten me, they're wrong." I stated boldly.
"Ha, their scared of us. We out number them, let alone the fact that we're 20 times stronger, faster, and smarter than them. They' re just putting on a show." Alice laughed darkly, smiling to herself. "Plus, we have you…" she added slyly. "Just think of what your ability will do if they get out of hand." She was right. I had the ultimate upper hand if this turned nasty, they wouldn't stand a chance.
I could see Edward making his way through the crowd as I walked back to my locker.
"Edawar…"
"I know." Edward looked harsh.
"What? How?" I was truly confused now…
"How could I not? she was basically yelling at me the entire class." Edward accused, nodding toward the sheepish looking Alice.
"What? I thought you would want to know." Alice chuckled, clearing remembering what she was thinking about during class.
"Wait…what were they thinking?" I speculate aloud. To my surprise Edward chuckled.
"Well… they're scared of you. They think your…what was the phrase… o right, fierce, and calculatingly cold." I smiled to myself, as Edward laughed. "My Bella? No, your to loving." Edward's expression was suddenly warm, as he leaned down, and kissed me gently.
We were suddenly interrupted when a bell rang, signifying our tardiness.
"Crap" I exclaimed, pulling out my schedule to see what I had next.
"Don't bother… you have gym… with me." He beamed, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the hall.
Gym…wonderful.
When I walked hand and hand with Edward into the large gym I automatically shivered at the sight of menacing looking volleyballs lined up against the wall. These poor unsuspecting kids...
"Okay, now that we are all here, let me introduce myself. My name is Coach Cook. Good, now, once around the track." Yelled an elderly looking man, clad in a navy sweat suit.
I surprised myself by having to make an effort to slow my pace with Edward, as to keep in time with the humans. I felt as though I was walking… it annoyed me. After we had completed the tedious 'run' we commenced with games of volleyball. Once again I surprised myself by not sucking. The only real challenge however was to not hit the ball to hard and hurt somebody… a much different kind of obstacle than in my old gym classes. After 45 minutes the bell rang that told us we had finally made it to the end of the day.
Edward placed his arm around me pulling me in closer to his strong body as we made our way back to our lockers.
"You know, I'm really disliking this school business, it's limiting my time with you significantly." Edward confessed with a frown.
"I know what you mean." I smiled elegantly. "I've missed you today." I said as I pressed my cool lips to his, keeping it relatively innocent due to our surroundings.
When we reached our lockers we met up with the others and packed our bags quickly.
The rain had stopped, but the fresh, damp air felt good against my skin as we exited the school, making our way to the parking lot, hand in hand with Edward.
When we got insight of the parking, to my horror I could see five strong outlines in front of our vibrant cars.
A/N: R&R please.
