Sunday in short word was a bitch.
My headache pounded as loud as a jack hammer all day long. I couldn't even drink water without getting the feeling to puke. Charlie had threatened a couple of times to take me to the hospital so I had to suck it up and pretend I was fine. My stomach felt hot and any slight movement made me want to curl into a ball. My body felt weak and it took all of my strength to move about to pretend for Charlie that I was fine.
But it did not compare with today's feeling as I got up this morning. Too early I realized that I would have to face Edward and the fact that I had drunkenly tried to flirt with him. Thinking about it made me want to feel all nauseas all over again.
I dressed my usual attention getter outfit as I put on a black tin-top the said 'Bite Me' in bloody letters over a red long sleeved shirt. I put on red skinny jeans that I tucked into my combat boots that made them look bulkier. I put on a couple of bracelets on but opted out for my contacts since I had little time left.
Reaching school unlike my previous days I was greeted by Alice as I stepped out of my truck.
"Hey how are you? You had a rough weekend" she said giving me a sympathetic look
"Yeah you would know" I mumbled but I knew she would have been able to hear
"You joining us for lunch?" she asked cheerfully
"Do I have another choice?" I asked but not particularly looking for an answer
"You're funny" she said as I rolled my eyes
"I like your outfit" she added
"You want to be my friend that badly?" I said and laughed at my own joke as her smile faded
The good part of me wanted to apologize but my bad side one won as I just kept walking leaving her behind.
Today of all days I wanted my classes to take forever and to drag on but nope before I knew it, it was lunch time. I was stuck in the middle of an empty hallway and the doors to the lunch room. I knew I couldn't sit with them today especially after the way I acted with Alice this morning. I wanted to kick myself in the butt since I had hurt the baby of the family.
Go! My thoughts screamed but my feet had other ideas as I backed away in fear and soon I was sprinting down the hallway to my truck. At hands reach I was overcome with dizziness and letting out a rough breath I leaned against the truck trying to steady myself. I was sliding slowly as I tried hard to keep my legs straight. As my eyes close there in front of me stood Edward and I could see his family behind him.
"Talk to me" I begged in a hoarse voice as I slipped into darkness
The bright light blinded me as I opened my eyes to the familiar room.
"My love" his voice made me jump as I felt his breath on my neck
"Alexander" I said in a whisper as he now stood in front of me
"You're back" he said as a smile broke on his face and he leaned into me
My eyes glazed over as he kept his eyes locked with mine and I felt his cold lips on mine. My body trembled but of fear as his lips felt hard but yet soft but there was a bitter taste. I swayed back as he placed his hand on my back to steady me.
"Sorry too much" he said as he broke our or his kiss to look into my eyes
Bella wake up! I heard the voice echo and I cringed at the loud voice at first
Bella come back! I heard again and soon my body started to feel light
"No!" Alexander growled as he kept a tight grip on me
"Let go!" I screamed in instinct as I felt fear and his grip only tightened on me
"What did you say!" he screamed as he tug his nails into my wrist
Bella please wake up! I heard the voice again and this time Alexander started to become transparent as my surroundings started to disappear
"You promised" his voice sounded pained
"I'm sorry" I said as I came to
I was no longer in the high school parking lot but found myself in a living room on a couch. I shot up nervously as I took in the worried faces. I let out a breath of relief but then I winced as I felt the pain on my wrist.
"Oh no" I said nervously as I looked down on my wrist and the blood was staining through my sleeve. Many things happened after I spoke those small words as the sofa flew backwards throwing me off as well. I rolled to a stop as I crashed into the wall and I let out a rough breath as it got knocked out of me. Two feet stood at my line of vision as I sat up I noticed Jasper fighting against Emmett and Rosalie. Soon they vanished as I stood up weakly my heart beating so loudly that even I could hear with my own ears.
I wanted to ask questions as stood there but remained quite as Edward now faced me and then soon also vanished. Only Carlsile and I stood in the living room.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he placed a hand on my shoulder
"I thought you were immune to my blood" I said shyly feeling guilty now. That's what they had said right?
"I'm sorry Bella but in simple terms Blood is blood" he said as he directed me to his kitchen
"How did you get that?" he asked as he rolled up my sleeve to expose a very nasty wound
"Oh man" was all I could say as I saw it and looked away quickly
"They'll have to be stitched up" he said and I let out a breath as he got started
"How did you get this?" he asked again
"I don't know I had this weird vision" I said as the word vision lingered on my tongue and then it hit me
"It wasn't a vision" I finally said quietly
"Are you sure?" he asked as I felt tiny tugs on my wrist making me cringe physically but tried to stay still otherwise
"Yeah I think so became if it was a vision I wouldn't have gotten this wound"
"You got this when you passed out?"
"I think I'm pretty sure" I said now doubting myself but I mean it made perfect sense. He did this to me
"We can talk about this more when we get the family together" he said after a long pause
"I'm sorry" I said as I looked at him and he simply shook his head
"You have nothing to apologize for" he said
"I feel like I should apologize to Jasper" I said causing him to chuckle and I looked at him glaring
"Sorry it's just that you're complex" he simply said shaking his head again
"Complex how?"
"Well even though you try to get people to think otherwise you are kind"
"That seemed like an insult to me" I said causing him to chuckle again
"I think it's done" he said as he bandaged me up
"I will wear it with pride" I said mostly to myself but I knew he heard me
"Thanks" I said as I slid off the stool
"Make yourself at home it may take awhile for everyone to return" he said as he lid on fire all the scraps
"Jasper is beating himself up pretty bad right now" he said answering my question before I knew I wanted to know
"If you want privacy you could go to Edward's room he won't mind" he said
I wanted to ask where it was but I didn't want to impose or be a bother too much. I made my way up the stairs and like a pull I opened the door to a room.
It has to be his that's all I though as I laid down on the couch looking up at the ceiling. I wouldn't admit this but I'm scared. Alexander was so close to me now and it scared me how easily he got into my head. Had he been the one giving me the visions all along?
My eyes became heavy but not sleepiness as my hand caressed the leather couch. I was getting a vision.
I was laying in the same couch except Edward lay on top of me. Wait Edward lay on top of me! This had never happened
"You're my everything" he whispered as his breath tickled my neck
"Edward Please" I begged as I wrapped my arms around him
"Make love to me" I breathed as I crushed my lips to him
I jumped up just as the door opened and Edward stood there. I stood still as I stared at him I could have stayed like that if he hadn't made steps to come forward. I felt it this tingling sensation in the pit of my stomach as I stepped back. This can't be true I must have been dreaming.
"Bella?" he asked cautiously as he lifted up his hands meaning he meant me no harm
"Give me a second" I said letting out a rough breath as Goosebumps ran up my spine.
We remained in silence as we stared at each other but I mostly stared at the ground. The feeling I felt at that moment I was feeling right now. As my body cooled I let out a breath of relief.
"Are okay now?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow
"In little words sure yeah" I said avoiding eye contact
"Can I ask what was wrong?" he asked
"So is everyone back already?" I asked in a high voice. Totally avoiding the topic
"Yeah that's why I came up here to call you" he said
"Okay so what are we waiting for?" I said speed walking past him as I skipped one step after another as I reached the bottom but of course I almost tripped.
"Are you good?" Edward asked as he steadied me
"Make love to me"
"Ah! Yeah!" I said jumping away from him as I walked into the living room. I had to stop thinking about that
I avoiding looking at Alice but her calm look made me realize I was the only one who had seen this. Maybe it was a dream but why would I dream that? I don't like Edward do I? No way that's not possible. I barely know that guy but I will admit that his whole mysteries guy routine was intriguing.
"Bella!" a loud voice jolted me from my thoughts.
"Sorry Sorry" I said lifting up my hand causing Alice to chuckle
"Are you okay?" Edward asked again as he placed his hand on my shoulder
"Make love to me"
"Yeah" I said as I squirmed out of his touch
"Let us get down to business" Carlisle said as he motioned for me to sit on the single chair
"Tell us what happened" he added once I was seated
"First of all I'm sorry Jasper it was completely my fault about earlier so I'm sorry" I said my voice high sounding determined
"Bella…" he started to say but I raised my hand to stop him
"Just take my apology I really feel guilty" I said in a low voice
"Okay continue" Carlisle said
"Okay I think Alexander is the one that has been getting in my head in return giving me visions and now it's him like I don't know pulling me to him mentally but I don't know how that really works I mean I know it sounds crazy" I said half mumbling
"What happened when you blacked out today?"
"I don't know it was like the first time…"
"Wait this has happened more than once" Edward asked making me jump at the tone of his voice
"Ugh yeah at first I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or just having a bad hang over" I said laughing but I guess I was the only one that found it funny
"Anyways it's like when I have a vision I get this feeling and then it becomes more intense like if I was leaving my body and I think I do" I said
"You do" Carlisle said
"I do?" I asked
"You die" Edward said coldly and I cringed
"I don't really understand" I said frustrated
"Bella when they brought you here you had no heart-beat if it wasn't for Edward we would all of us assumed you were dead" he said
"You said to talk to you so I did" Edward said
"I'm guessing that if somebody disrupts your body then you're brought back to your body" Carlisle said
"Yeah I figured out that much since when the first time it happened Charlie was the one who brought me back by calling to me" I said
"Where do you go?" he asked
"With Alexander" I whispered but I knew they heard
"How?" Alice gasped in shock
"I don't know I just know it must be a power of his or something because he said he was the one giving me my visions"
"I didn't know he had a power" Edward stated as he shook his head in frustration
"What else happens?" Carlisle continued asking
"That pretty much It I mean I go into a room and then his there talking to me and he doesn't say much except that's his coming for me" I said as I looked at my wrist
"What about you're wrist?" he asked
"He grabbed me when I was started to vanish and he tried to hold on to me"
"He did that in your vision?" Alice asked
"I don't think it's a vision…" I said trailing off to find the right word
"Teleporting" I finally said snapping my fingers
"That makes sense" Carlisle said now considering my theory
There was a long silence as Carlisle mumbled to himself but I knew that the others could probably understand him. He eventually started pacing back and forth until he turned his attention to Alice
"Can you see him coming any time soon?" he asked
Alice closed her eyes as Jasper held her tightly
"He delayed his trip but I don't know for how long though" she said
"He delayed his trip?" Edward asked confused
"Just as I thought" Carlisle said and Edward gave a knowing nod
"What's going on?" I asked
"I think it would be best if we put you in surveillance" Carlisle said patiently waiting for my reply
"Why" I asked
"Because what Alice said he has delayed his trip here so it means he is going to try to reach to you my another method" he said as he tapped his head
Oh, Alexander must know something is up and he doesn't want to risk it. He's going to try to get me through my mid-teleporting-
"So you guys are like what going to be with me 24/7?" I asked
"As much as possible" Edward clarified
"I don't want to bother you guys" I said
"No we are doing this because we want to" Alice assured me
"But you barely know me and you ready to protect me with bared teeth no pun intended" I said laughing softly
"She's right we hardly know her" Rosalie said
Looks from her mind kept her quite as she just glared and quickly walked out of the room.
"That's not good" I said
"It's okay she'll cool off" Emmett said and I nodded
"So when does this begin?" I asked
"Now" Edward said as he stood up
"Where are going?" I asked as I stood up
"I'm taking for shift c'mon I'm taking you home" he said
I quietly followed him. I almost forgot about my vision that I didn't care that Edward was taking first shift.
"Can Alice do it?" I asked suddenly stopping at the door
"I can't I need to hunt tonight" I heard her voice in the house but I also heard a faint giggle
"Emmett?" I asked
"No his busy for tonight" Rosalie answered for him
Then I guess since Alice was going to go hunting there was no point in asking Jasper.
"Ready?" Edward asked
"Fine" I said reluctantly as he smiled my way and I could feel myself being swooned but I controlled myself.
Thinking about it this whole surveillance thing is probably a bad idea.
