Chapter 10
Cleo's POV
As soon as we entered the house, Bella ran round the house checking we were alone, but she didn't go into Edward's room. Lewis and I had sat down on the couch holding hands. Suddenly Bella came down the stairs with tears in her eyes.
"Everything, exactly the way it was before." She whispered.
I stood up and gave her a hug and so did Lewis.
Once we had calmed Bella down, we started to figure out a plan.
"We need to find a way so that people won't be looking for us wherever we go." Bella said, getting straight to the point.
"How about we just pretend we got killed by something in the woods?" Lewis asked
"That's a good idea. We could pretend that we went to the meadow, and then something found us killed us and dragged us off to the woods. Victoria even gave us a hand by spilling our blood on the grass." I said.
"Okay, we will need to go back and perfect it so it is believable."
A couple of hours later Bella, Lewis and I had come back from sorting out the meadow. It was unlikely someone would find it as it was off the trail, but we had to be sure.
We sat in the living room again with Bella in the middle of the floor and Lewis and I sat in front of the couch, holding hands.
"We need to decide where to go next. We won't be able to go to school or anything for a year, but we can gain our collage qualifications online and we will have to get jobs to get some money. I'm sure they left some money behind that we can borrow, we will bring it back anyway." Bella said.
"We should go to Alaska, it's hardly sunny there. And, why won't we be allowed to go to school or anything for a year?" Lewis asked.
"We need to sort out yours and Cleo's bloodlust and it should take about a year or so to get it under control."
"What about your bloodlust?" I asked.
"I strangely didn't feel any bloodlust for the human's blood. I'm not sure what it is though."
"I didn't feel any bloodlust either." I gasped. "Mermaids! It's because we're mermaids!"
"That might be why! Can we still turn into mermaids?" Bella asked.
"I'm not sure, but I happen to know that the bathrooms here are big enough for us both to be in mermaid form." We both giggled.
We finished discussing vampires and what we were going to do in Alaska, when Bella asked if we could check out our mermaidism now.
We went into Alice's bathroom and Bella ran a tap. We both put our hand under and 10 seconds later we fell to the floor with tails instead of legs.
Bella and I screamed a really loud scream because we were so excited. Unfortunately Lewis though we were being killed or attacked in some way and came in shouting "Let them go!" To which, Bella and I burst out laughing.
We dried ourselves off and began planning.
"Well, you know how I left our car by the forest; we could pretend that we are killed by a bear or something. I mean, all of the evidence is there we just need bear tracks and the pack probably have come by recently so we even have the tracks we just have to check, or, it will have rained and washed all the evidence away. Either way, we just have to stop by. Then we can leave." I said, rather quickly.
We ran to the meadow and made it look like an animal attack. Then, we were off to Alaska.
