[BELLA POV]
Energy pushing and pumping adrenaline through my veins as I look over to my twin, my partner. I nod to her with my back against the wall and my gun ready to fire at anybody who may or may not be on the other side of the corner we're about to round.
If your wondering, were inside Forks High, playing a game of war with paintball guns. Teams are split up, some in two's some in other numbers or odds. Leah chose me before anybody else could, I'm the best shot out of all of us, well except Jasper.
If your wondering why we're doing this, well its sort of a bonding thing amongst us. The only thing that was tying all of us together was me, but I decided I was tired of being in the middle. I suggested a bit of bonding time, something that would mix us together. So hence Paintball War in Forks High school. Sure, its trespassing and against the law, since we have no intention of cleaning up after we're finished, but at least the pack and the Cullen's will have fun together.
Leah and I are on a team, though we have an alliance with Rose and Alice who have also teamed up together. Being the only girls its critical we stuck together. Paul and Emmett teamed up together, not by choice but by demand. They hardly worked as a team for the first ten minutes, but then they could be heard laughing together and high-fiving. Embry and Jared are working together as a team, Quil and Jake are a team, Sam and Edward are a team, and Jasper decided to take the younger guys Seth Collin and Brady under his wing.
Now back to the action and task at hand.
Nodding to Leah, I confirm to her to cover my back so I can duck and roll across the hall to survey the area. The only good thing about being one of the smallest besides Alice, I can crawl above between the lockers and the ceiling, getting an advantage shot. Which is all part of the plan. All I need is to get across the corner so I can jump up in the small space. Alice and Rose are waiting at check point A for Leah and I.
I stealthily throw myself across the hall and tuck my body into a small ball so I can make as less sound as I can. Leah covering my back, I nod and get my gun ready, to shoot anybody who comes in our path. The coast is clear. Leah crouches down so her back is facing upwards, I take a few steps back, then sprint forward leaping on her back then jumping up quietly almost cat like on top of the lockers. I get myself comfortable on my stomach and my gun tucked securely in my side, I nod giving her my go.
As she takes careful steps, I'm taking silent crawls on my stomach. I feel great, my mind goes to a day dream of crawling in the mud in an army get up, something like Jasper would wear, with my small body creeping up on my next target ready to take him down.
Coming out of the day dream, I ready my gun and check to make sure Leah is staying in the shadows with her back against the lockers. Once we lock eyes we know its one.
Our targets have no idea that we're behind them, they stay lazily sitting at a table trying to quietly arm wrestle. I resist the urge to snort at the fact they both are suck pig headed me. Always trying to see which one is more 'manlier' I smile though despite the situation.
I position my gun, aiming it at the back of my Paul's head. Leah's gun already targeted right between the eyes of the very large vampire, who looks in deep concentration and possibly a large case of constipation. As they both still battle out their strength, Leah and I shoot at the same time.
Red paintball's splat loudly against the both of their skin. Emmett's perfectly centered red dot between his eye brows looks hilarious. Paul's red dot of paint running down the back of his head, almost like blood becomes comical as well. At the same time, they drop their hold on each other's hands and reach for their respective spots which just made determined them as 'out' of the game.
It really doesn't surprise me, both of their egos just decided their fate. Rosalie will be so pleased to know why Emmett was ousted. The man has almost no attention span, everything with him is proving how much more of a man he is than other people. He's the perfect target, along with Paul. They truly are a lot alike. It gives me hope that they can stay civil and become friends like Rosalie and me.
Knowing that they are no longer in the game, and we're taken out by girls they both growl and Leah and I just giggle and continue on. Though the look Emmett gives me when he finally see's me up in the lockers makes me want to cackle at him. His expression was so priceless.
Finally we met up with Rose and Alice, Alice and I taking both sides of the lockers, with Rose and Leah covering us from below as we cover them up high.
We come across Sam and Edward, of course Edward reading everybody's thoughts, he turns around and Sam and him start firing at us. Though they cant see me up high, I take them both out, thanking my quick skills that they didn't hit my girls.
We move on chuckling, I start feeling like I'm an assassin and cant help but picture the four of us girls in tight leather outfits, robbing banks and taking out criminals that come in our path. Alice seeing my semi-choice in career change she giggles and nods her head with excitement.
Of course Rose and Leah are annoyed because they are left out of the loop, but Alice mouths later to them, and they accept that for now.
[JARED POV].
Embry and I were hiding out between two classrooms, I know it seems a bit risky but trust me we were covered completely. The indent between the rows of lockers that paused for a class room was where I was standing. Embry was right across from me crouched down in his small class room gap.
I could hear walking, but didn't dare trust anything in my body to peek my head out from around the small wall that was a locker. I knew that if I had done that, I'd be hit and then would have been declared out.
Embry stood up and froze in his spot, that was until a red splat formed right in the middle of his forehead. I was so shocked, nobody could fire a shot like that unless they were trained.
I was about to make a run for it, when I felt a paint ball pelt me in the side of the head. Ducking my head out in anger, I looked down the hall and nobody was there.
"What the fuck, nobody is even out there." I growled out to Embry
He looked, well more like peaked out from his small locker wall and glared.
"Somebody is fucking cheating" He gritted out
There were two distinctive giggles. The fucking midget ass pixie vamp and the evil double mint twin.
At the same time they just jumped down from the ceiling and laughed loudly in our faces.
Alice and Bella high-fived each other and then hit their hips together in some sort of victory dance type of way.
I was too floored to actually say anything. Embry's mouth was wide open, then it closed as he glared at them.
" What were you doing, clinging to the ceiling. " He growled at them.
Their giggling stopped as they both glared at him. I decided now was the best time to act smart and not say anything. Bitch Bella was about to unleash, and the small vamp, well she didn't really scare me but her shortness already made my ankles ache at the thought of her biting mine.
"Why would we tell you our secrets. And don't growl at me again or else I'll have Alice dress you up and sell you on corner in Seattle little Boy" Bella growled at him.
He of course nodded looking scared at the almost excited look on the pixies face at the thought of making him up. Or the threat of being sold for sex, which ever one He just nodded and they took off laughing down a hallway.
" Dude, this fucking sucks " I sighed.
Bested by a couple of girls. I should have fucking known that this was going to happen, the damn evil double mint twin picked this activity out herself. Of course she would have something up her sleeve. How unfair is that?
[BELLA POV - after the paintball war]
We so fucking rocked! Men try to say they are the best at everything, but they are always proven wrong.
We beat all the boys, okay myself and Alice ended up beating all the boys. Leah and Rosalie got taken out by Jasper. That guy is seriously awesome with a gun.
If it wasn't for Alice sending Jasper all the lust and confusion she could think up, we probably would have been toast. Besides, Jasper would never take out his own woman, not if he knew what was best for him. Paul would have tried to take me out, unless we were on the same team.
Fucker.
After the paintball war, we all break into our two groups and went home.
I've been staying at my own house this week, tomorrow is school so after getting home I shower and fall straight to sleep.
This time instead of nice dreams, these dreams were full of the nomads.
They were drinking over bodies, so I couldn't see the faces. It seemed so real, like I was right there floating above everything.
Just like a blink of an eye, the nomads where finished feeding off the humans, and were cackling. Looking down, I could see the faces of two humans more clearly.
I automatically start sobbing and screaming out for them. The cold dead eyes were staring back at me, lifeless and dull. My sobs and screams only grew louder as I tried to reach for them, but couldn't get to them.
I finally wake myself up startled by my own screaming, I jump from my bed and automatically check on my dad.
Seeing my Daddy's eyes like that in my dream, made me determined to never leave him unprotected.
After making sure my parents, mostly daddy, was still asleep I threw on some shoes and took off in a sprint outside.
Once I finally reached my god-mother's house, I crept in as silently as I could. Tear's running down my face at the thought of losing her or anybody else I love or care fore.
I kiss my god-mother's cheek and tell her Ill keep her safe. The words making myself feel better and more determined.
I vow to my father and Renee that I'll do everything in my power to keep them safe, even give my own life.
I know they are alive for now, but that's just the thing. My dream took place next season, so I knew I had to act fast. I couldn't decide on weather or not to contact the pack or not.
I finally reach my home again and sneak back to my room, under my covers and close my eyes.
Sleep never came again, the images of my dad and god mother looking up at me with dead dull lifeless bodies were haunting me.
I knew I had to do something, because it was going to happen soon, I just didn't know exactly how to handle it. Sighing and feeling emotionally drained, I decided school can wait an hour. I need to call a meeting now. There's no way I can keep it to myself, It's not about me, its about others. I have to protect the others.
A/N -
So, the nomad situation was coming back.
Sorry it took so long to update, and I know I say that all the time. But I truly am sorry. I just have and had a lot of things going on.
Also, sorry for this being so short. Ill update soon and have it be longer. I'm just so tired from everything.
