The plane touched down with a bit of a jerk. Edward grabbed my hand at my slight jump.
"It's ok Bella. Everything's going to be fine." He reassured me for the hundredth time that morning. After he got over the initial shock and accepted that Carlisle was going to be fine he calmed down and switched roles by trying to calm me down.
"I know, I'm just…nervous. I think the fact that they're all vampires is finally starting to scare." I giggled.
"Well it's nice to see you finally realize that fact but you're a bit late for that aren't you? I mean you plan to become one of us." He smiled back at me. We continued to stare at each other until a flash went off in front of us.
"Well that was one of the best pictures I've ever taken." The person in the seat ahead of us laughed out. The girl in front of us turned around. Wait, she had a strange resemblance to someone I once knew. No she couldn't be…
"Carrie?" I chocked out. "Is that you?"
"The one and only." She laughed as I sputtered out words.
"Oh my god it is so good to see you it's been forever!"
"Well I wouldn't quite call two and a half years forever but it has been quite a long time." She agreed standing up and pulling me into a hug that crushed me. Wait that hug was way too tight for a normal human. I looked at her eyes. Whatever breath I had left was suddenly gone as something dawned on me.
My best friend from Phoenix was a vampire.
Edward suddenly went rigid beside me at something she thought.
"Um…Carrie did something happen to you?" I asked tentatively. She stiffened at my meaning but forced out the words in as pleasant a voice that I could have hoped for.
"Whatever could you mean Bella? I haven't changed."
Edward stiffened ever so slightly more. What could she be thinking that would have him so scared? I shot him a look that told him to let me handle this.
I turned back to Carrie. "Yes something has, and I know exactly what." I said with a meaningful look.
"Bella could we please not talk about this here?" she pleaded, her defenses breaking down. I could see she was scared that I had figured it out so quickly, if she thought I would figure it out at all.
"Sure Carrie we don't have to talk about it here. But we are going to talk about it." She sighed and nodded her head. We got our stuff. Then she rushed us out of the plane. We walked to one of the custodian closets and ushered us in. she closed the door and turned to face me.
"How did you know?" she asked irritated.
"Well for one your hug was way too strong for a normal human. And two your eyes are on the verge of going from gold to black, they keep fading back and forth. You need to make up your mind before someone else knows." She attempted a smile, but it was frail.
"Bella that still doesn't tell me how you would know."
"Well in all honesty I know some vampires." She clamped a hand over my mouth.
"Don't say that word. There are too many of the voulturi's clan here to be saying things like that." she looked at Edward and growled. "You too human, watch your tongue."
Edward growled menacingly. Maybe it wasn't because of what Carrie had been thinking maybe he was so stiff because he could smell the volturi.
"Watch who you call human." He spit out.
"Oh so I guess this is one of them?" she asked turning back to me.
"Yes he's actually the first one I met when I moved to Forks. He and his f-"
"Wait so your part of the Cullen Clan in Forks huh?" she asked intrigued as she turned to Edward. He growled back in response. She laughed. "I'll take that as a yes. If that's so you two are heading into a hornets nest that's where the Volturi are going, to Forks. They said they knew the Cullen's and were going to check on the human, I'm guessing that's you Bella?" I nodded terrified. "Thought so. Anyway they're also going to find out about the so called werewolves in the area." She rolled her eyes. "But everyone knows that werewolves stopped occurring hundreds of years ago". I started to protest but Edward looked at me cautioning me not to. I suddenly realized how much I had told Carrie and started wondering just who she was working for.
"Carrie, what's your power?"
"Power?" she asked perplexed.
"You know most vampires have a power. Like Jane can mentally cause you pain, and Aro tell everything you've ever thought by touching you. What's yours?" she seemed to catch on.
"Oh that well I can kind of manipulate things with my mind like I can take control of inanimate objects, it's really cool." That's what I was afraid of. With a power like that she was defiantly part of the Volturi. Edward had obviously realized that to and for the first time spoke up.
"Well is Aro here with you? If I'm going to be talking to the Volturi then I would rather talk to him instead of his mini-sidekick."
"Yes Aro is here as a m-." she stopped abruptly realizing her mistake. She had just given herself away as one of the Volturi.
"Oh so he is here? That's good. Well lead the way to him, we need to clear some things up." She was still paralyzed in shock and fear. Edward waved a hand in her face snapping her out of her daze.
"Um…Carrie now would be great Bella and I really need to get back to Forks as soon as possible."
She replied as menacingly as she could but it still didn't even compare when Edward got mad. "Oh very well come with me."
Edward put his arms around me. "That wasn't so bad now was it?" he asked cautiously.
"No I guess not but it still scared the crap out of me being around Jane."
"I understand love, I understand perfectly."
I had been sobbing ever since we had got out of the room with the dozen or so vampires in it. All the time I was scared stiff that the glitch that had been in my system had stopped working and at any moment the pain Jane had been sending towards me the whole time would finally get to me and cause me the terrible pain that Edward had been subjected to the moment we had walked in the room as punishment for fleeing Forks. The pain hadn't ended until I had explained, or screamed rather, at Aro why we were actually in Florida. Once I had he ordered Jane to stop hurting Edward much to her chagrin. After Edward had gotten back up he further explained. After a while Aro believed Edward and surprisingly without touching him sent us on our way but promised to return if the Cullen's couldn't get the murders around Seattle cleared up soon. Luckily Aro didn't know that the werewolves were in Forks or he would have never let us go without him accompanying us to check out the wolves that he was so interested in. now we were once again on our way to Forks and as soon I had gotten out of that room was when I started crying on Edwards shoulder so hard all he could do was pick me up and carry me to the Volvo that had been left at the airport while we were gone.
Even driving as fast Edward was, around 80 which was slow for him, it still took an hour to get back to Forks. And I had cried the whole time we were in the car. We stopped by Charlie's first before heading over to the Cullen's. I didn't know what to expect when we got there which was only making me cry harder than I already was. What I especially didn't expect was to see Carlisle walking around like nothing had happened. He even greeted us at the door, smiling and apologizing for worrying us. When he gave me a complete recount of what had happened it only made me want to kill Jacob even more. Although of course there was still some hostility in me for Embry too, my rage mainly focused on Jacob. All I could think about was finding Jacob and shoving him off a cliff with glass, nails and very sharp rocks at the bottom. But no one would even give me a chance to sneak off, they just kept harping on me about how my mother had took the news and what all I told her. When I did finally get a change to steal away it was around midnight but I didn't care I would have risked anything at that moment to go to La Push and throttle Jacob even though I knew well I could never do any real damage to him. Well it was nice to dream about it at least. I pulled into their driveway noting there was only one light coming on and it was from Billy's room but I didn't care. I walked straight up to the front door and banged on it as hard as I could.
I waited,
And waited,
And waited some more.
Apparently no one was going to answer so using the key Jacob had told me about I let my self in being as quiet as possible.
I found Billy passed out on the couch. There was a beer can beside him surprisingly, and the TV was on. I stealthily went over and turned it off. Then got a blanket from the closet beside the door and laid it over him. Then I walked down the short hallway to Jacob's room opening the door slowly.
He wasn't there. So I went to the only other place I thought he would be, the garage. I made my way down the treacherous slope through the trees to the garage and opened the door. I found Jacob asleep on the rug he used when he was working on the underside of his car. I lay down on the rug beside him and scooted my way up under the car to reach his face. I shook him. He groaned and went silent again breathing heavily and snoring lightly again. I shook him again.
No response.
I finally had to shove him to get a response and when I did it wasn't the one I wanted.
He opened his eyes dazedly and they ran over me quickly before coming back up to mine.
"Bella? Is that you? Bella!" he jumped up and hit his head. Then came back down rubbing where he had been hit. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me into a bear hug as usual and then he did the worst thing he could have at the time. He kissed me.
A/N: shocked you didn't I? I know I did so just admit….thank you. Actually I surprised myself too I was planning on going into detail about the meeting with Aro but it was already 1:00 in the morning and I had to be somewhat rested for the concert. (that's right I said concert (for Three Days Grace!jumps up and down for joy!)) Its today and we are leaving at three to head to Louisiana. But whatever like I said I surprised myself I was just tired and didn't feel like writing it. Just so you know most of the twists I write I come up with on the spot so if it ever gets confusing just tell me so I can edit it. Once again I was up late and once again you had better love me to infinity and beyond. laughs ok well gotta go. Byeas
!CINDLE!
