Alice drove the four-wheeler to the road where a red BMW was waiting. She opened the door for me. I felt butterflies as I sat down. All this new emotions made me feel awkward. Alice and I were silent. I could tell she kept glancing my way. I soon felt nervous under her gaze.
"Thank you for looking over Bella." Alice spoke up first.
"She's a friend. I look after my friends." I said.
I couldn't look at her so I just stared out the window. She made me feel nervous. The butterflies were still flying around in my stomach.
"You just meet her." Alice said thoughtfully "You most really be a nice person."
I felt my heart sank. I wasn't a nice person. I was a liar who hurt people that wanted to know the secrets. I was the person who might have to kill her if she ever found out what I hid. I'm a terrible person.
The rest of the way we stayed silent. Alice seemed to be deep in thought. I didn't want to disturbed her so I just looked out the window. Thoughts of the past came rushing in. I could try to forget the memories but I couldn't forget the feelings. I glanced over at Alice. She looked troubled. She looked at me.
Our eyes meet and I felt like I was melting. My heart missed a beat. That missed beat made me return to the real world. I looked down at my feet. She was the one I had to stay away from. She the one I might have to kill. I couldn't feel anything for her.
"We're here." She said softly.
"Thank you for the ride." I said just above a whisper.
I opened the door but before I could step out Alice grabbed my arm. I looked at her. Her golden eyes full of questions. Questions I wish she wouldn't be asking or figuring out the answers to them.
"You know we're hiding something…why aren't you trying to figure out what it is? I know you're capable of figuring it out." She said.
I was taken aback by what she said. Alice was right. I really haven't done all that was in my power to figure out the Cullen's secret. I knew I could figure it out within minutes by using my powers but I was avoiding finding out, why?
My cellphone rang, it was from New York. I knew that number by hurt, it was Cherry.
"I have to go. Thanks again for the ride." I said before shutting the door.
I answered the call while I quickly made my way inside the house.
"About fucking time you answer. Jared has a job for you." Cherry said annoyed.
I ran up my room and grabbed my second laptop. Jared had sent me an e-mail it had direction to a place in Seattle.
"Why are you so fucking angry?" I said while remember the directions.
"Because you don't answer your other home phone and you left us. Call me from the other phone." Cherry hung up.
I felt an adrenaline rush as I call Cherry from my Blackberry. I didn't expect to have jobs here in Washington. From what I heard from Cherry, Jared only sends packages in New York.
"You were our best fucking driver and you left us. This made my job a little more difficult." Cherry answered.
"Sorry, Cherry, but it was time for me to leave. So this is going to be my last job?" I asked as I changed.
"That's correct, Dancer, it's your last job. Your money is already in your account. I can't believe I won't call you from this phone anymore." Cherry sighed.
I laughed and shook my head.
"Maybe we can meet for a drink without having people chasing us." I chuckled.
"That doesn't sound like a fun night." Cherry said.
Cherry and I became friends when Caleb took me to a drag race. She and I got into a fight and we settled it on the road. I won that's when she told Jared about me, and that's how I got my first job. It was shady but it was a lot of money. You can't say no to a lot of money or the rush you get from doing something bad and not getting caught.
"What am I transporting?" I asked as I put my hair in a braid.
"I think it's a pack of pure absinthe." She said.
Pure absinthe is absinthe that is illegal in the U.S. It's becoming more popular each year. I tried the legal kind of absinthe and its way different from the illegal one.
"You better get going." Cherry said "Good luck, Dancer, not like you needed."
I chuckled "Thanks anyways. Thanks for everything, Cherry."
"What the hell are you getting emotional?" She asked shocked "Gross."
"I think being in the west coast made me more sympathetic." I sighed.
"Weird, guess I'm never moving there." Cherry chuckled "But it we did have our good times, can't say I won't miss your psycho ass."
"Awe, tough Cherry misses me!" I laughed.
"Shut the fuck up and go do your job." Cherry hung up.
Same old Cherry, I'm going to miss running away from the cops. I wrinkled my nose. That's the last thing I needed! I couldn't be home sick. What the fuck was wrong with me? I shook everything out of my head and headed to where the car I would be driving was.
I smiled at the black Porsche waiting for me in La Push. I parked my car in a gas station. I told the cashier that it broke down and I was going to pick it up later that night. He told me that was fine. I made my way to the Porsche and started to race to Seattle. I go to the place without a problem. It was an old warehouse. I grabbed the gun in the glove box and hid it under my clothes.
I walked out and knocked. A man answered. I told him the password. I pointed to the trunk.
"It's in there." I said bored.
The job seems to be boring but that was before two men dragged out a girl with black long hair out of the trunk. She was so not pure absinthe. I felt my blood rush down to my feet. The girl's blue eyes looked up at me hopelessly. She reminded me of Alice for some odd reason which made me upset.
"Who that fuck is that?" I screamed at the man in the door.
"She's our package." He frowned at me "Do we have a problem?"
I saw him touch his gun. One of the two guys who had the girl pulled out a gun. That's when I noted their red eyes. What did Cherry and Jared get me into?
I pulled out my gun and shot the guy who pulled out the gun. He didn't even fucking flinch! The guy in the door pulled my hair.
"You really shouldn't have done that, sweet heart." The man growled.
I send a gust of wind and he went flying back. I dodged the other guy. I grabbed him by the leg and pulled him down. They were moving in super speed. They weren't human. So what were they? I tried to take away the air but they didn't suffocate they just got up. The one with black hair, who was in the door, kicked me in the stomach. I hit the wall. The building shook.
"What the fuck is she?" One of them said.
I stood up. Now that I was in danger I couldn't feel the pain. I took out my metal lighter. I grabbed the flame. I put the lighter away and made a ball of fire. No matter what they are, fire is everything's weakness. I threw the ball of fire at the man with black hair. He started to scream. The two other ones came at me. I dodged their punches. I hit the one of them. He fell to the ground screaming. I hit the other one and he did the same. I walked over to one of them and pulled his head off his body. I heard the girl gasp.
"Better be safe than sorry." I told her.
She gave a small nervous nod.
I did the same thing with the other two. I put their heads into a barrel and lit them on fire. I saw a big garbage container on the back. I took one of the bodies and put it in. The girl had untied herself and she helped me with one of the bodies. I gave her a small smile and went for the other one. I lit all three bodies on fire. The girl just looked at me with amazement.
"What are you?" She asked.
"I'm nothing." I said as I saw the smoke go up.
I grabbed the girl by the arm. We started to walk around the city. I was looking for a car I could hotwire when I heard the girl hissed and bends over in pain.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
"I haven't fed in days." She tells me weakly.
Her eyes were burly open. I knew she wasn't talking about food.
"What do you eat?" I asked.
She chuckled weakly "I don't eat, I drink…" she fainted before she could tell me.
I picked her up and went to a motel. I knew she was going to say energy. I remember I had seen her when I was smaller. She was the one that helped me control the wind. The one that helped me escaped a lot of close calls when I was smaller. Why the hell did those creeps have her?
