Chap 9:
There was some confusion over how Rose was able to stop Bella from hearing, so lets just say that this is possible. Rose was holding Bella's ears shut off so much that if she were human it would have crushed her skull.
Also I would like to dedicate this chapter to RoryAceHayden147 who has reviewed every time I update.
Neither of us own twilight. I think. You would have to ask RoryAceHayden147yourself though I'm pretty sure there not stef.
Sorry for another short chapter but you'll see why at the end.
The smell was like before.
No it was better. It reminded me of what I nearly had and even more.
All this new smell did was intensify what it was like earlier. The only difference was that my need for blood this time was weaker.
I had already eaten and the need for more was gone. Even though the want was still there. You don't have to need something to want it.
I had a bit more control now and I was struggling inside as much as Alice and Rose were with me on the outside.
I let out a howl of rage. That helped me snap out of it. I didn't want to become that monster again.
I collapsed in a heap on the floor. My breathing was hard and fast and it took all of my concentration to ignore the smell that I keep bringing into my head.
"Alice, should she keep breathing like that? Isn't that just making it harder?"
"She has to get use to it some time. One smell at a time is better than locking her away for ten years and hoping that she will have control enough to go to school after that." I tried to listen but that was hard without losing control again.
Both Alice and Rose were sitting on the floor with me, in case I had more trouble.
The only thing that really kept me whole was the fact that I didn't want to become a monster again.
I eventually slowed my breathing down.
The smell was sweet. Very sweet. It was like lollies with extra sugar. Too much sugar for my liking.
Alice looked at me. "What's wrong?" I had realised, but I had my nose wrinkled in disgust.
"It's too sweet. The smell I mean. I don't really like it." Alice just laughed at me in her high musical voice. Rose breathed out a sigh of relief behind me.
I caught the scent of her breath. It was like honey. If I knew the different types of honey I could pick it, but that wasn't the case.
"Rose, you smell of honey." She had let go of me after Alice had. She just smiled at me.
"Well done Bella. What do I smell of?" I looked back at Alice.
I took in a deep breath through my nose. Many smell filled my head, including the lady from before. I shoved her smell into the back of my head.
I could pinpoint the distance that every smell was from me. I could smell Rose's honey close to me, yet behind me. In front was a flowery smell. I knew the flower but I couldn't remember it.
My human memories where fading fast and I tried to keep them all.
I thought about it for a little while, which took all of two seconds.
"I think... is it... the tulip." I hadn't smelt tulips often, though I could just remember being at a flower shop when I found a funny looking flower. It also had a weak but unusual sent. Renee had told me that the funny looking bowl shaped flower was a tulip.
Tulips had never been my favourite flower but they had always intrigued me.
"Mostly. Some say they can smell strawberries too. Enough about smells though, time for clothes." I groaned. I hated trying on clothes.
Alice and Rose went through the entire store throwing clothes at me. I changed over and over again not really looking at what I was putting on. All I could think about was how much I wanted to be with Edward.
Alice and Rose were out looking at the formal clothes towards the front of the store. I walked out of the change room at the back of the store just in time to see Alice's reaction to a vision.
She was frozen and her face was full of fear.
Rose was watching her carefully. Alice looked like she would faint if she could.
Then Alice snapped out of it. "NO!" But she was too late.
I caught the weak smell of the lady from before creep back into the room.
I turned to the door which she had left through before just in time to see her enter. Her eyes locked with mine and fear flashed across her face.
I lunged at her.
I was going to go from here with Bella somehow not attacking the store owner but I had a suggestion saying that Bella should get someone and they should be forced to leave earlier. I have idea's for both and the both sound good to me so I'm leaving it up to you guys.
What should happen next?
