Chapter 11: Siren Call
Emmett drove the party van that carried the six of us out of the city.
"Are we heading to Port Angeles?"
"Nope, Seattle. They have the best dinner clubs," Alice said while playing with Jasper's hands.
We pulled in front of a club called "Sweet Desire." Emmett handed the valet the keys and we each took our maiden's hand, assisting them out to the car. As we walked down the velvet red carpet, the bouncer stepped in front of the gold door in a defensive stance. If he only knew that even the smallest female in our band could have him on his back in less than two seconds I was sure he would change his attitude. Alice stepped closer to the bouncer as if she was going to do just that.
"Cullen party," she said with a cocky tone I would have more associated with Rosalie. However, the two word command was enough as the burly bouncer quickly stepped to the side and bowed his head like a disobedient child. Emmett, Jasper, and I ushered our beautiful dates into the doors.
The inside of the club was obviously themed from the 1920's. All of the women were dressed similar to Rosalie, Alice and Bella but none of them looked as stunning. An usher met us at the door and walked us to a table marked "Cullen – Reserved." As we took our seats, a female voice from an unknown location stated,
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to "Sweet Desires." Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Introducing Chandra!"
A slender woman wearing a long silver dress stepped to the microphone. Her voice was gorgeous and she seemed at home on the stage. I escorted Bella from our table and on to the floor for our first dance.
"Miss Cullen, you look absolutely breath-taking this evening."
"Thank you, Mr. Swan. You clean up quite nicely yourself."
The night was far from young, and unlike my companions, the day was beginning to wear on me. They, however, were ready to get home for totally different reason.
"I will have Emmett drop us at your place for the night. You don't mind if I join you do you?" Bella asked.
"I would be offended if you didn't."
I looked forward to stretching out in my bed after such a long day, but I was anxious to have my brunette beauty lying with me. Emmett, Jasper and I stepped outside to retrieve the vehicle while the women waited in the foyer. At first I thought I was hearing music from inside the club. The sound was very hypnotic and was hard to ignore. Knowing I was already weary from the long day I had, I assumed I was dead on my feet. It wasn't until I felt very strong holds on both of my arms that I realized I had begun to walk away from the club headed towards who knows where.
"You two didn't hear that... singing?"
Emmett and Jasper looked at me strangely; I could see the sleep walking jokes forming in their minds, especially Emmett. I knew this wasn't sleep-walking. Something was calling me and I was ready, and willing, to follow.
I didn't remember anything else about the drive home. I awoke sometime early in the day realizing I was in my bed and Bella was not there. I was embarrassed to think that Bella may have carried me in as I did not remember unlocking my door or walking up the steps leading to my bedroom. I tried to go back to sleep to no avail.
Suddenly, I began to feel that same hypnotic pull I had felt while leaving the club. I tried to ignore the urge to get out of the bed but the alluring feel was too strong for me. As I stepped across my lawn I could feel the wet dewy grass under my feet and it was then that I realized that I was in my cotton sleep pants. I didn't know where I was going. I couldn't even explain what I was following.
"Edward! What are you doing out here?" Bella was running through my yard, returning to my house. She had went home to change out of her evening wear.
"Bella, my love, is that you? What's happening to me?"
"I don't know. You must be exhausted. Sleep-walking like the boys were teasing earlier. Come on; let's go back inside before you wake Charlie." Bella was following behind me, in the opposite direction from my house. We had crossed into the woods that surrounded the neighborhood. It was earlier than I realized, as there was no sign of the sun in the sky.
"I can't. I must go to them."
"Go to whom? Edward, let's go. You are scaring me."
"I... I have to go."
Suddenly three women stood fifty feet in front of us. Bella must have seen the figures sooner than I did as she jumped in front of me in a defensive stance. A growl ripped from her chest. Was she trying to protect me from the mysterious women in front of us? The hypnotic sound began again and I desperately tried to get around Bella. I realized that the tantalizing music was coming from the women. They were singing. They were singing to me.
"Edward! No, honey. Fight this. Fight whatever they're doing to you."
"You can't hear that? It is so beautiful. I have to go to it."
"No Edward, don't. Please don't make me hurt you." Another snarl cracked the air. "You bitches have messed with the wrong human."
"He is ours now. We found him first. Go get your own breakfast," I heard a voice say.
"In your dreams. He is my man, not your meal time. Now leave before this gets ugly."
"You can't take us. We will crush you and still leave with what we came for."
"You can try it, if you dare. You must have never met a woman in love before." I was frozen in place only half aware of the exchange that took place in front of me. I knew I needed to leave with Bella at once but whatever held me was not letting me go.
"Leave her. The man has heard our song. It won't be long before he comes to us willingly."
Suddenly, I felt a gush of air fly past me. I do not know if it was the air knocking me down or if the unseen force had finally let me go, but I was all at once fully aware of what happened and where I was. Bella sped over to where I sat on the ground.
"Love, are you okay?"
"I... I don't know. I think so. What's happening? Who were those women?"
"Other vampires, no doubt, but I have never seen or heard of a power like theirs. Come I need to get you to Carlisle at once."
Bella scooped me up off of the ground and I was suddenly speeding through the trees. I was no longer embarrassed by the fact that Bella was carrying me.
Review! And Smile!
