A/N: ANNIVERSARY! TENTH CHAPTER! So yeah. Anyway, this chapter is going to be happier, though I did get a lot more reviews at the last one. But maybe it was because I begged? *BEGGING*
Thanks for all the reviews people! Makes me do a happy dance!
Disclaimer: I do not own twilight or any of her characters. I do own Tord, Roxane and Yvaine. (Yay me! I own something!)
Previously:
I had to make sure my pack got a good first impression of their mortal enemies.
My life is so boring. Not.
Chapter Ten
Meetings and Nights
BPOV:
Nervous. Nervous. Nervous.
I was a little nervous, obviously. We were walking towards the Cullens, who were waiting in the meadow. At vampire speed, because we, the Wafes, ran very hard. Vampires couldn't catch up with us. That was nature, pray has to outrun the stronger predator, otherwise… Yeah, otherwise you're dead. Tord and Yve had caught up with us when we were almost there. For some reason, Edward threw a deadly glare at Tord. Hmm, I should ask him about that later.
But vampire speed wasn't slow. So we were there in about five minutes. I stopped my pack before entering.
"Okay guys, I want to make a great entrance. Cause vampires are show-offs, now it's my time to show off! Now here's what we're gonna…" Edward was still beside us. "SHOO! This is a nymph thing!" I said, a bit irritated. He chuckled and went to his family.
"Okay guys, here's what we're gonna do. Rox, you go as a phoenix, okay? Tord, just do your thing dude, fly. Yve, I want you to ice skate through the air. You know, like that guy did in The Incredibles?" She chuckled. They all nodded. "What 'bout you Bells?" Roxane said. "Me?" I smiled. "I'm going Tarzan."
I made a large liana grow, this time it didn't come out of my fingertips, it was too large for that. It grew from my palm. I climbed into a large tree, which went surprisingly well. It was like I was Spiderman climbing up a wall. I connected the liana with the tree. Not by knotting it, but by making it a part of the tree.
"Okay, everybody ready?" I shouted. I heard agreement from down. "3, 2, 1. GO!" I screamed. Oh, this was so much fun! I wish I had thought of a camera. They should've seen their faces.
EPOV: (NB: Not Eddie, but Emmie)
Wow! Sick! My little sissy has grown awesome! I mean, she was on a liana swinging over here, making a summersault in the air, and landing in front of us with a huge smirk.
And there was this other sick dude flying, and this awesome chick ice skating, making ice out of her hands! And then I saw it. A phoenix.
"Where's Dumbledore? Where is he?" I asked. Looking around like a maniac. It was like the phoenix laughed. Then it landed in front of me and changed into a girl. As beautiful as the ice chick. And as beautiful as the… Hey, since when did Bella look like that? And since when could she do things like that? Holy smoke. I missed something.
"Uhmm. Eddie boy? What happened to Bella?" Edward smacked me at the head. "Stop. Calling. Me. Eddie boy!" I smirked. Bella laughed, her laugh sounded different. So did her voice when she spoke.
"My dear Cullens. I introduce to you: the Wafes. Roxane, the fire Wafe, Yvaine, the water Wafe and Tord the air Wafe." The handsome boy spoke. "And Bella, the earth Wafe." GAAAAASP! Wowie! Since we left, little fragile Bella human, turned into not-so-little fragile powerful Bella nymph queen. AWESOME. Hey I forgot something.
"Emmett, you have the mind of a fruit loop. You can't think of anything for longer than five seconds." "And you are a boring cereal Edward." I answered. Now, time to unforget the forgotten.
"Bellieeee!" I screamed, I ran down to her, and squeezed her in a large bear hug. "Emmiebear!" She squealed, while she hugged me back. After me, Alice jumped at Bella. Squealing about how good she looked, and that they really should go buy new clothes. Bella didn't look like she was looking forward to that.
After Alice, Jasper hugged her. "Nice huh? That I don't smell edible." She chuckled.
Everyone sniffed in a reflex, and they gasped. "You really don't!" Jasper was jumping up and down like a girl. "Now we can finally play video games without me wanting to kill you!" Bella laughed.
After Jasper, Esme pulled Bella in a motherly hug. Scoff. My hugs are way better. Esme whispered to Bella. "I'm glad to have my daughter back.". A tear rolled down Bella's cheek. But she was smiling, so I guess it was something sensitive.
Carlisle followed after Esme. He just hugged Bells.
Rosalie was up. "Hi Bella. Glad to have you back." She said shyly. "OH COME ON!" I screamed. I pushed Rose to Bella. "Give her a hug!" I said. Everyone looked at Rose, expecting her to hit me. But she actually hugged Bella. "Glad to have you back too." Bella whispered.
The fire chick cleared her throat. "Ehmm, Bella.. Could you maybe, like introduce us to our mortal enemies." She said. She didn't sound angry, but this saddened me. "Mortal enemies? You don't like us?" I whispered. I did like her. I mean, she could change into a phoenix. I like everyone who can change into a phoenix.
"That's not what she means." Bella said. Even Edward looked a bit worried and surprised. Bella sighed. I'll show you. Just smell. She changed into a deer.
That blood. It was so delicious. I needed to have it. To feel it. To drink it. It smelled like the most wonderful thing in the world. I jumped at the deer. But, in a split second the deer was on the other side of the field and changed into Bella again. I came back to my senses. I felt so ashamed, until I saw that my whole family, including Carlisle, had tried to attack. Bella ran faster than any of us ever could. Back to where we were standing.
"You see? I can change into super yummy animals, and vampire venom kills me. But I can run faster than you guys, of which I am obviously proud, so don't worry. I won't change in front of you."
I still felt awkward. I needed to talk. "I'm sorry I jumped Bella." I whispered. She looked at me in disbelief, and then looked at all the Cullens. "Whoa! No need to feel sorry guys! I knew this would happen." Most of us relaxed, but Carlisle and Edward were plainer than usual.
"Well, introduction time!" Bella chuckled. She turned to her fellow nymphs and nymph dude. "Okay guys, this is Tord. The air Wafe." Tord smirked. "Hey, 'sup?" he asked. "Hey Tord, do you like videogames?" I asked seriously. Tord's expression changed. "HELL YEAH! Let's go play some!" Bella glanced at him. Wow I didn't know she could be frightening. "… after this nice meet session." Tord murmured. Bella chuckled at him. The chick with long blonde hair laughed along with her.
JPOV:
I took a look at the air dude. I felt so jealous and angry towards him. Huh? Oh wait, it were Edward's feelings. But why did he…?
"This is Yvaine, she's the water Wafe." Bella said. Yvaine smiled. "Yvaine is with.." Bella didn't need to continue, cause the air dude, I mean Tord, kissed her. "Me!" he snickered. Edward suddenly didn't feel angry and jealous anymore. Now I understood. I burst out in laughter. Everybody looked at me with question in their eyes. I was not speaking clearly, cause I was still snickering, but I told them anyway.
It's always time for a little prank on Eddie. "Edward is jealous of you dude! He thought you were having something with Bella! Aww poor Eddie! Was he gonna steal your giwfwiend?" The last part I said in a childish tone. Edward punched my shoulder, but looked ashamed to the ground. Everybody was laughing at him. Bella rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Anyways, this is Roxane. Dumbledore's bird." Everybody snickered at that, but Roxane was kinda angry, and our bodies are some sorta flammable so I stopped it. And so did the rest, knowing I was feeling her emotions. "Just kidding, Rox. She's the fire Wafe."
Rosalie. Was. Jealous. Wow. It was unbelievable. Rosalie was actually jealous. "You have pretty eyes." She said in a vampire soft tone. Roxane's head shot towards her. "Why thank you! I love your hair!" She said. Rosalie literally shone. Complimenting on her hair is a big plus. "Oh my god! Thank you! I'm Rosalie. But how did you hear me?" Yep. Rose was happy. "Oh, we have superior hearing." She smiled, and went to stand next to Rosalie. They started talking about shampoo. With an excitement I couldn't understand.
"Well now that the nyde and all the nymphs are introduced, it's time to introduce the Vamps." Bella smiled. "So, this here, is Edward. You probably knew that already, since he's my boyfriend. He can read thoughts. Well, not mine, but everyone else's." Bella said in one breath. She was hyper, someone probably gave her sugar. She wasn't to good with sugar. I couldn't even imagine what alcohol would do to her. Shiver. It would be a nightmare! "Ehmm…" Edward said. "What?" Bella looked at him with question. "I can't read any of your thoughts." He murmured. "OOOH BUUUURN!" Emmett shouted at exactly the same time as Tord did. They high fived each other. Bella smiled at him. "Yep, honey, you gotta give it to them, that's a pretty nice burn."
"This is Jasper, he can feel and change your emotions." Roxane shut up out of her thoughts. And I could see she was trying to change her feelings. She felt unbelievably sad. I wouldn't ask her. She would tell me, if she wanted to. "This is Alice. She can see the future. Well, she sees visions." Suddenly Bella laughed, and Roxane felt smug. "Bella, what's funny?" Alice asked. "I don't know why no one ever thought of it! But Rox is gonna call you Psychick!" Some chuckles, and laughter of Emmett, boy, if anyone would say 'pudding' to that guy, he would still find it funny, filled the field.
When the mood was serious again, Bella spoke again. "This is Emmett, he is really strong. And childish." A gasp filled the field. "AM NOT!" Emmett screamed. "Oh, okay. He's not strong, just childish." Bella smirked. "No! I am really strong! I'm not childish!" everyone turned their head towards Emmett. Emmett gasped. "My own family! Betrayers!" He went to sit on a rock, angry. But after a few seconds, he came back, and said. "You are forgiven." Chuckles once again.
"Well where was I? Oh yeah, that's Rosalie. She doesn't have a power, but she is extraordinary beautiful, as you can see." Bella said. Rosalie felt disagreement. Edward shot a pitiful look at her. I would ask them later.
"This, is Carlisle. He's a doctor. A damn good one! He's some sort the father of the pack. The dad. He's very talented." She continued with a smile. Yvaine was interested. "So, what kind of doctor are you?" She talked neat. But at the same time, a little bit of teenage girl shone through. Carlisle smiled. "Well, at the moment, I'm a surgeon." Yvaine felt admiration. "How do you resist?" She asked. She was utterly curious. "I've been working on it all my life. I've never drank a single drop of human blood, and now, I am so far that I can resist it quite well." He felt smug. Then he looked at Bella, and felt shame. The whole deer thing still bothered him.
"And this is Esme. What can I say, a mother by heart. Loving, and prepared to do anything for her beloved ones." Bella continued. "Esme is married to Carlisle, Rosalie is married to Emmett, Alice is married to Jasper and Edward is my boyfriend." She finished. "Well Bells, looks like you need to marry to fit in properly." Roxane smirked. Bella turned a very elegant red. Not the tomato one she used to.
Then the sun disappeared behind the horizon. Something changed in all of the Wafes' eyes, and their emotions… I've never felt anything like it. They were completely connected to their elements. Yvaine left without saying anything. I guess she needed to go to some place with water. Tord changed into an eagle, which was pretty awesome, and flew away.
Roxane also left, as a phoenix. I didn't know where she would go to. I think to some place dry, to create fire.
Bella also had that weird glance in her eyes. She climbed into a tree, not very high, but surprisingly fast. We could still see her. Edward made a move to go to her, but I stopped him. "Edward, she is completely connected to the earth right now. She probably won't even see you." Edward took another look at Bella. He sighed. He sat down, and started watching her.
Bella placed her palm on the tree. Then she started talking in a language I didn't know. It sounded like the wind in the leaves and the creaking of a cortex at the same time. She talked a little slower than our fastest conversations, but it was too fast to hear for human ears.
After a while, she climbed down the tree, and placed her hand on a spot that was crooked, resin dropped out of it. The place healed, and made place for healthy new brown cortex.
Then she left. She ran, so Edward didn't even have to try to catch up on her. She was so much faster. I think she was running through the woods, healing the earth, adding new flora here and there.
BPOV:
I was embarrassed. Roxane said out loud that I needed to marry Edward. And –
Earth. The tree at the other end of the field. He was in pain. I needed to help him. I climbed up to the place where his heart was. I placed my palm on him, and talked with him.
"My dear, what has happened? Why are you in pain?" I said. He answered in a low, calming tone. "A wild cat has crooked my cortex. It hurts, and my resin is still flowing out the wound." I was immediately angry at the cat, but I needed to heal my friend. "Where did the cat hurt you? I can help you." I whispered. "Lower, nearly to the ground. I know you can my queen. You can help all of us. Thank you for that." I was flattered. "You are all so welcome." I said, before climbing down.
After I had healed my friend, I felt so much need around me. Lonely trees who whished for company, fields where the grass was in grief because children had picked up all the flowers, plants in pain. I needed to help them all. I wanted to help them all. And so I ran. The whole night, I made flowers appear, healed plants, grew young trees, and so much more. When the moon started to descend, I was exhausted. I climbed up in one of the highest trees, and asked her permission to grow moss on her thickest branch. She allowed it, and said I was welcome. I grew moss on the branch, thick, soft moss. I lay down on it, and as the stalks sung a lullaby for me, I fell asleep.
A/N: I'm sorry if it's a bit sloppy. I had kinda a writers block for this chapter. If I failed miserably, just tell me so. The next chapter will be named "Meet the pack, once more". There will be a surprise :)
