Author Note: Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written down anything in almost two weeks! School started for me last week and I've been busy having to deal with all my honors classes, being stuck in my counselor's office trying to get out of my 6th period French to Spanish (and trust me it was hell in there) and this year I have yearbook (I'm a photographer, sweet!) so I'm also busy with having to help edit or add things to it, go on location as to where my teacher wants us to go get pics for school events and the games and suggest some things that should be in there (I'm thinking about suggesting if I could write something about the upcoming New Moon movie for all the Twilight fans at my school, which would also help make more people buy it as well, lol). Okay so enough about me and how crazy my junior year of high is going for me, onto the story that you've been waiting a long time to be updated.
The last time you guys saw how Mel met the Cullens (everyone except Rosalie) but you will see her, eventually. And I must warn you...during the time where I was semi stressing out about my 6th period and having to worry about handing in my assignments on time, I got a bit of writer's block and I had a hard time trying to come up with something for this chapter, so I'm not entirely sure if it's good or not. I know writer's are not supposed to say if their work is bad, but I just wanted to give you guys the heads up.
So I'll just shut up and let you guys get started on reading chapter 10, so please enjoy.
- Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or the entire series, it all belongs to the talented Stephenie Meyer. Except for Mel, her character does belong to me.
10. Chapter Ten
"Please, Bella?" Alice asked making the biggest puppy dog eyes possible for her tiny head.
"No, Alice." Bella said. "I don't want anything done to my hair."
For the past five minutes Alice and Bella had been going back and forth on whether or not Bella should let Alice do her hair. Alice already had her fun with my hair ten minutes ago by parting my hair in the center, curling the mid section and ends of my hair into loose wavy curls and then finishing it off by placing a dark-gray hair band.
How long do you think it would take for Bella to agree with Alice? I asked Edward.
I doubt it would take long. He said. Alice is already trying to decide if she should just ask her if she'd try on this dress for her.
One that she's hoping Bella would wear for her birthday. A small smile tugging at my lips. I still find it hard to believe that she's already starting to plan it if isn't for another two weeks.
Well that's Alice for you. He grinned.
"Oh I have a better idea," Alice said. "Why don't you just try on this dress I have in my closet that I believe would look perfect for you?"
Wait for it… Edward said.
"I don't know, Alice." Bella said.
"Please, Bella it would only take a quick minute." Alice attacked her with those golden-brown eyes.
I could feel Bella starting to change her mind and is about to agree with Alice. She's about to say it…
"Fine," Bella sighed. "I'll try it on, but the dress only Alice. No hair, no make up, just the dress."
"Perfect! Lets go," Alice said enthusiastically. "We'll be back in a bit."
"Good luck, Bella." I said.
"Thanks," Bella said sarcastically.
"Wait, Mel, you aren't coming with us?" Alice asked before heading toward the stairs.
"No, because she is going to show us how her powers work." Emmett said coming into the room followed by Jasper. "I want to see that molecular combustion up close."
"Same here," Jasper said. "Plus the telekinesis."
"Well you guys are in for a treat when you see me use those powers," I said feeling very excited.
"Then why are we still standing here, lets go already." Emmett went through the kitchen and out the backdoor.
"I say we should have never told him about your powers," Edward said.
I laughed lightly at his statement. "Oh well, we already told him."
"Just be careful out there, okay, Mel." Bella said from the top of the stairs.
"Don't worry, Bella. I'll be fine," I said.
I followed Edward and Jasper, at a quick pace, through the kitchen and out the back door out into the backyard where Emmett was waiting for us, standing next to a tree.
"It's about time," Emmett said. "I've been waiting over an hour for you guys to get here."
"Well, we're here now." I said. "What would you guys like to see first? Something exploding or something moving around?"
"Something exploding," All three of them said.
"Obviously that crazy male gene is still intact with you guys," I muttered softly.
"Hey, I heard that." Emmett said. "Not cool."
Hmm, that seemed a little weird. "Okay, well what do you want me to blow up?"
"Emmett's head," Jasper snickered.
"Hey," Emmett said.
Again, something about Emmett's behavior seemed oddly familiar.
"Are you all right?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I waved off the thought. "Okay, so maybe I should try to that boulder over there?"
"This will be very interesting." Jasper said.
I looked over to where the boulder was and locked my concentration on it. My hands were balled up into fists. I raise my hands, flicked both my writs and opened hands then heard a loud blasting sound and saw a million small pieces of rock fly everywhere and scattered in many different directions in the yard and into the forest. A smug smile spread across my face and let small laugh.
I looked at the guys and saw Emmett trying to keep his excitement in control, while Edward and Jasper were scanning the forest for something else to be blown up.
"Oh man, Mel, you have to do that again!" Emmett said enthusiastically.
And there it goes again, that weird feeling that I got before; the recognition. For some odd reason Emmett just seemed to remind me of someone, but I couldn't seem to put my finger on it. Why does his behavior seem to remind me someone?
"Wait, I wanted to see the telekinesis." Jasper argued.
"Too bad," Emmett said. "Her molecular combustion was way better."
Aww look at that, Edward. I said. They're fighting over what power I should use.
It is hilarious. Edward chuckled quietly. But you still seem a bit distracted about something. Well two things actually.
I'll tell you later.
Okay.
"I say she should still use the molecular combustion," Emmett said.
"Well, I say that she should use the telekinesis." Jasper said.
I knew of only one way that would stop their bickering. I turned my attention back to Edward—knowing well that he probably already knew what I was thinking—and waited for his answer. Can I? I pleaded with my eyes.
He signed and nodded. It would help stop their bickering, I don't see why not.
I turned my attention back to where Emmett and Jasper were standing and concentrated on sending one them to one side of the forest and same to the other. I concentrated on sending Emmett to the left side of the forest, while sending Jasper to the right. After just thinking it over both of them were sent flying backwards and landing with a loud crash on either side of the forest.
Edward just looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I didn't know you could do that with your telekinesis?
Yeah I've been practicing that for three years. I said smugly.
"What the hell was that?" Emmett shouted.
"That was my telekinesis, Emmett." I said.
"But why did you use it on us?" Jasper asked.
"So you would stop fighting. Plus, Jasper was able to see and feel my power first hand."
"It was kind of fun," Jasper said.
"See, making people happy is my job." I felt my phone vibrate and took it out of my hip pocket. I looked at the caller ID and saw a number that I didn't recognize but answered anyway. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me." Bella said on the other line.
"Hey, Bella. Where are you calling me from?"
"From Alice's cell."
"Oh, I see. What's up?"
"We have to get going, I have to get some things done before Charlie gets back."
"Have we been here that long? It feels like we just got here?"
"We've been here for four hours, Mel."
"We have?" I asked. I heard the guys' chuckle and just ignored them after that.
"Yes, so you and Edward need to get back here so we could head back." Bella said.
"Fine." I said and then pressed the END button.
"Ready to go back home?" Edward asked.
"No, I was having fun." I pouted. "But I guess so."
"Aww man and I wanted to see more of your powers too," Emmett said.
"Don't worry, I'll try to come back the next time."
"Sweet, and next time show us your force fields. I want to see how well they can handle against one of us."
"Oh, they're pretty powerful. Ask Edward, he'll tell you." I laughed.
How could I forget? Edward said, remembering the hard fall he took after slamming into Bella and my force field.
I laughed at the memory and turned my attention back to Emmett and Jasper. "It was really nice meeting you guys."
"Hey it was more fun for us meeting a witch," Emmett said.
"Yes, it was. Especially one that has almost the same gifts as we do," Jasper said.
"Same here."
"Come on, Mel. We better go pick up Bella," Edward said.
"Okay," I said. "Bye, Emmett. Bye, Jasper."
"See you, Mel." Emmett said.
"Goodbye," Jasper said.
Edward and I made our way back toward the house at our quick pace, but I was still able to catch a bit of what Emmett and Jasper were talking about.
"Hey, Jazz, best two-out-of-three?" Emmett asked.
"You're on," Jasper said.
I heard a bit from their thoughts and was able to understand that they were talking about another wrestling rematch. "They wrestle out here?"
"Yes, it's something they like to do," Edward shrugged, "Other than trying to bet each other in videogames as well."
"And how mad does Emmett get whenever he loses?" I asked.
"Very mad," he opened the door for me.
I walked into the kitchen, made my way to the staircase and saw that Bella and Alice were already waiting for us. I noticed that Bell was holding a plastic bag in her hand and immediately realized that Alice gave Bella a dress.
"What do you have there, Bella?" I asked, pretending that I didn't know the obvious.
"The dress that Alice had me try on," Bella said. "She said that it was so me and that I should keep it."
Nice work, Alice. I said telepathically.
Thank you, Mel. Alice said.
"So are you two ready to go?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, we are." Bella said while I nodded.
As if on cue, Carlisle and Esme came to where we were to say goodbye.
"It was wonderful meeting you, Mel," Esme said giving me a hug.
"I enjoyed being here, Esme. Thank you," I hugged her back.
"We hope you can come back as much as you'd like," Carlisle said. "Of course with Charlie's permission of course."
"Yeah, absolutely. Of course, I would also have to ask Bella to bring me."
"Yeah, I'm going to be your personal chauffeur for while." Bella said.
"At least until I learn how to drive and my parent send me money to get a car for my sixteenth birthday next year."
I already have plans for that party as well. I heard Alice sing in her head.
I let out a quiet groan, while Edward rolled his eyes. Carlisle, Esme and Bella believed that Alice thought of something and just left it alone.
"I hope we'll see you again soon, Mel." Esme said.
"Okay, I'll try to come back." I said. "And it was nice meet all you guys."
"Well, it was very nice to have met another one of Bella's family members who is almost like we are." Carlisle said.
"Bye, Mel." Alice hugged me. "And now that I have your number, I'll know who to call or text whenever I'm bored."
"Okay, Alice." I laughed. "Bye."
We all walked out the door and headed straight for Edward's Volvo. We all got in and were on our way back to the house.
As soon as we turned onto the street for the house, I immediately got a weird feeling. Edward noticed my tension and his eyes stared at me with concern.
"What's wrong, Mel?" Edward asked.
"I don't know. Something just doesn't seem right," I said.
"What do you mean, Mel?" Bella asked.
"Like something doesn't seem right as we get closer to the house," I said as Edward drove up into the driveway. I felt my body tense up a bit more as I saw some slight movement through the window. "I think there's someone in the house."
"What?" Bella asked.
"Edward, did you see the same as I did?" I asked him.
"Yes, it looks like there is someone in there," he said.
"Well, what should we do?" Bella asked.
"You two stay here, I'll go take a look."
"You can't be serious?" she asked.
"We can't call your father right now, he wouldn't be able to make it on time."
"And besides," I said. "I have a feeling that whoever is in there, isn't human."
"Are you sure, Mel?" Bella asked.
"I'm positive. I'm going with you Edward." I unbuckled my seatbelt and was out of the car before they could stop me. I was halfway to the door until I felt a cool hand grab me by my arm.
"Mel, you can't go in there." Edward said. "It could be dangerous."
"Please, I laugh in the face of danger." I went to open the door. I walked into the house and lifted my force field in case they decide to attack and then heard Edward walking right behind.
I still can't believe you're actually going to try to come up against this intruder? Edward said.
Not my fault. I said. Besides I want to see who or what it could be.
I raised my hand, ready to toss the intruder with my telekinesis. Edward and I walked into the kitchen and then the next thing I saw immediately made my breath get caught in my throat.
"What are you doing here?"
Well that was chapter ten. I hope you guys liked this chapter, I had such a hard time trying to come up with something for it, due to the fact that my brain was so accustom to doing school work and yearbook stuff for the past two weeks. So please be cruel on this chapter all you want. If you hated it, then just say it. If you loved it, then just say it. If it was a maybe, then just say it.
Until next time my fellow Twilighters!
P.S. Has anyone read the book A Great and Terrible Beauty? If so, please check out my other story for it. It's also a Twilight crossover too, and it's about Edward (for anyone who is a major Team Edward person, lol). Please read it, it's called Between the Grave and Glory, that one also needs love too.
