It's short I know, more later.
Bella's POV
We stayed with Oliver and his family for the remainder of our time, Carlisle, Eleazar, Tanya and Oliver shut themselves in Oliver's study planning out what to do, how to find the Ion and avoid the Voultri's attack, that could come any day now.
In the mean time, Alice and Evelyn went out shopping, Lavinia showed Sophia went out to tour the country, and Sonya and I hung out. Edward, Jasper, Derek, and Emmett, were shown around by Warren. The weird thing about Warren was during the first weeks of being here, I caught him looking at me from time to time. When I would catch his eye, he would turn away.
Weird.
You'd think that that would worry Edward.
But honestly, Edward had been acting a little strange, as if he has been a little distant from me. And not just him...Sophia and Alice too. It seems that every time I see them, one of them is hanging out with Sonya. When not with Sonya, out on a hunting trip. Apparently they've been taking a lot of those as well, two per month.
"Hey Bells," he called from under his truck.
I smiled, my only friend in this madness and confusion, "How'dya guess it was me?" I teased.
"Anyone can here you coming from a mile away, almost tripping over the oil canister," he chuckled.
"Yeah whatever," I sighed as I plopped down next to him, well his legs anyway.
"Could you hand me the monkey wrench?"
"Sure." I said as I reached into the tool box.
"How's life?" he asked casually.
"Stressful, everyone is busy, well except you. Lazy bum!" I nudged him playfully.
"Your welcome. Glad to be of service."
"Yeah, it's good to have a new friend... Warren."
Warren.
I've felt like I've seen him before. But I don't know where, maybe--
"Bella," a quite voice spoke from behind me, it was far to barsatone to be Edward. I turned to see Jasper, "Hi Jasper, where's Alice?"
He shrugged, "Out with Evelyn." This was the third time this week!
"Oh."
"Anyway, I need to talk to you about something." he said suddenly looking very serious.
"About what?"
"Warren, I need you to be careful around him."
"I've been picking up some weird vibes around him... he's half confused and half ashamed, and it seems to be only around you..." he said looking very tense, "Your my sister, well like a sister to me and I just want you to be careful. I feel like he's going to snap and attack you or something."
I smiled, "Thanks Jasper, I'll make sure.. I guess." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
He chuckled, "You seem so confused too."
"It's.. I.. no...never mind.."
"Is it about the others or Warren?"
"Both." I sighed, apparently someone else noticed as well, I wonder who else.
I startled when Jasper unexpectedly ruffled my hair, "It's okay, it's just a tense time, they'll come around.."
"Thanks... I guess."
He walked away, chuckling.
I decided to hunt that day, I didn't want to go far, but I bumped into Sonya.
"Oh, Hello Bella," she giggled softly.
"Good evening." I replied politely.
"I smell a herd of deer ahead, ready?"
"Sure," I said softly.
We glided slowly ahead, they were a mile away, I decided to make, um, small talk, or attempt of it anyway.
"So, Sonya, how's it going?"
She glanced at me, "Good why?"
"I don't, things have been rather intense, with the 'Ion' and all.."
"Well," she pursed her lips, "I wouldn't call it intense, rather, confusing."
"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows, "Really?"
"Best not to worry about it though." she stalked ahead, "Edward and the others are planning ahead."
Noticed she said Edward's name is first? Right, me too.
"Edward? Are you guys doing something together?" I squeaked.
"Well, yeah, kind of, it's a secret!..." she then pounced, locking her prey on fawn. I only stood there and stared her in horror for a second and turned, running into the forest--
Away from her, from Seraphim, my family...
And away from him.
