Author's Note:
I cannot apologise enough for making you guys wait a week for a chapter!
Life has seriously been hectic for me this last week with funerals to attend and all.
I really wanted to write but just couldn't and I am so sorry!
I also just want to make sure you guys know that I will post new chapters when I can, which will hopefully be every few days, and if they're not please know that it does not mean I am giving up on this story! It just means I haven't been able to write much for the chapter, if at all.
If I plan on ending the story (which will hopefully not be for a long time) I promise you that I will let you know!
Anyways, I won't keep you any longer. I shall let you continue on with the story!
**** Chapter Fourteen ****
Bella pulls Alice up to meet her eyes, "I'm in love with you too." There was a long comfortable silence, both girls just staring into each other's eyes. "Now we have that out of the way, please change me, Alice. I don't want my dream to come true, for some reason I don't think Agatha is going to give up. She seemed pretty insistent on having my blood. Besides," Bella whispers. "I want you to make love to me like I know you have really been wanting to."
Alice smirks and gives the girl a quick peck on the lips, and another kiss on her neck. She takes a moment, before she exposes her fangs to sink them into Bella's flesh.
And then it happens. Alice's fangs slowly pierce themselves into the soft, warm flesh which was all Bella. The vampire's eyes snap open, black now replacing the golden-amber eyes that was once there as the taste of the human's blood started to overcome her senses. She was slowly losing herself, but keeping part of her aware as to what is happening, to make sure she doesn't kill the person she really loves.
Bella is finding herself in both torture and pure bliss as Alice drinks from her and admits her venom into the girl laying before her. After a few seconds of trying to keep her pain under the radar, as to not let the small vampire know how much it is hurting her, she finally breaks as she can't help the scream that erupts from within her.
Alice knows that the girl has been in pain the whole time, and is actually quite impressed by the human for fighting it as long as she has. Upon hearing the scream, Alice almost pulled back, but she knows that the process for her to turn will be quicker if most of the blood is out of her system and replaced by her venom.
She was almost there when Bella screamed again. Just needing a few more seconds and she would have stopped and have been able to comfort Bella in this excruciating process. But no. The door to the bedroom flew open with so much force behind it that it found its new home unhinged and lodged in the wall.
Both girls felt their fear starting to build up knowing others have made themselves present for this and not going to take it lightly. Bella's movements turn into twitches and Alice finally pulls back. She caresses the girl's face with both her hands and gently rubs her thumbs over the pale skin. Looking up, she locks gazes with every Cullens' eyes as they stood in the room. They stood there, frozen. Too shocked by the turn of events to have done or said anything about the matter.
From the way they were standing, Alice could tell Rosalie was the first in the room. As the two held their gazes, Alice could tell this was affecting the Blonde badly even as she tried to mask it.
Rosalie cares about Bella, she always has done even though she vows to herself she will never admit it to anyone. Seeing the girl laying on the bed, it was like her heart shattered. She never wanted Bella to be a monster. She just wanted her to live her life, as a human, being alive and not like this. Rosalie let out a small growl as she took a step toward the small vampire still by Bella's side on the bed.
"What the hell have you done?" Rose growls at her, being the first of the Cullens to get out of the shocked state.
"I saved her," Alice replies, not allowing herself to feel threatened or show any signs of weakness.
Rosalie scoffs, not believing a word the girl said and feeling her anger rise. "Saved her? You took away her life, Alice! Look at her!" She yells. "You're turning her into one of us. Murderers. That's what vampires are, that's what we do! We are created to kill! And that is not a life, dammit!"
"The witches are after Bella's blood, Rose! They are going to do whatever they can to get it!" She fires back.
"Then you could've just given them what they want instead of resorting to, to this shit!"
"You don't get it!"
"Then explain it to me!"
"THEY WERE GOING TO KILL BELLA!" Alice screams, fuelled with so much anger at the Blonde for thinking she would just turn Bella into a vampire just for the hell of it. She wanted to keep the girl breathing and growing and just, living. She understood where Rosalie was coming from, because she felt that way too just not as strong. But she would never have turned Bella unless it was for a really good reason.
At the statement Alice made, Rosalie freezes at the words and it breaks the other Cullens out of their shocked state they were still in.
It was Carlisle's turn to clear his throat and speak up, "Alice, what did you see?"
The small vampire lets out a long breath. If she were able to cry, she would be drowning in her own tears at the memory of her vision.
"Bella, she -" the girl stumbles with her words. She regroups herself and tries again. "Bella was tied up to a chair in a dark room, she was unconscious until a woman started pouring ice cold water over her head, waking her up. The woman's name was Clarisse. Two other women walk through a door and, and one of them was that witch, Agatha. She gets the woman with the bucket to place it underneath Bella's arm and commands the other woman who I am assuming is Kamila, to put a cloth around Bella's mouth to stop her from screaming as Agatha, as she, as she cuts her with a knife, draining her. Collecting her blood. Bella falls unconscious again while all three women just, laugh," she struggled with the last few words.
The room was met in total silence. Rosalie was pissed at the news, and feeling guilty for assuming Alice would turn Bella just to have her by her side forever and starting now. Carlisle looked stunned by the information, and was deep in thought as to where to go from here. Emmett hand his hands in tight fists and was growling slightly, struggling to contain his anger. Jasper was angry, too. But he was trying to think of the reasons why the witches want Bella's blood so bad, and also trying to figure out how to go about it now. Esme on the other hand, was just really sad. She didn't like the thought of knowing there were people after the ones she cares about, especially how they would go about getting what they want.
The silence continued for a few more moments before Jasper took a step forward, almost standing by Rosalie's side. "So they kidnap Bella and possibly kill her, all for her blood?"
Alice barely nods her head in confirmation, but the minute action was picked up by all the vampires in the room.
"Okay," he continues. "Well that won't happen now. They will know she isn't human anymore when they try to take her. I'm assuming you haven't had another vision?"
"No," Alice whispers, her voice full of despair. "To them the plan is still good as gold, they wouldn't know about Bella., so my vision hasn't changed."
Everyone takes a quick look at Bella who's been too weak to say or do anything, and is now falling into unconsciousness as the venom starts taking control and making its way through her body.
Carlisle gasps and everyone turns their focus straight on him. He collects himself before saying, "My apologies. We just had another visitor join us," he states, referring to Edward.
Rosalie growls, the tension rising in almost all of the vampires in the room at the knowledge of Edward's presence.
"He says he's here to help," Carlisle speaks for Edward.
Rosalie scoffs and Alice just puts her focus straight back on Bella, knowing how much pain she will be in right now and not being able to help her.
"He wants to help?" Rosalie growls. "He is the reason this bullshit started in the first place!" She walks right up to Carlisle, yelling in his face though her anger is directed at Edward. "Where is he?"
"Rosalie I don't think -"
"Where. Is. He?" She demands.
Carlisle sighs, "He's standing to your left."
Rosalie turns to her left and starts calling him all kinds of names and blaming him for everything, reasonably so. In spite of her aggression, it lightens the mood up a bit for the other vampires in the room as they watch Rosalie raging to nothing but air, making her look like a crazy person.
After a couple of minutes she finally huffs and stops yelling, just tapping her foot on the ground as she stands with her arms folded across her chest and her head held high.
"Rosalie," Carlisle speaks. "When we left the cabin, I saw Edward exit, too. I no longer saw the red and purple glow around him as I see with all troubled spirits. He came back out with a light blue glow, the ones who are at peace. He isn't the person he was when he introduced us to Bella, he's the Edward we've known and loved for years. He's back, and he is here to help us help Bella."
The room was quiet as the coven leader's words sank into everyone in the room, besides Bella who is still in the very beginning stages of an internal war as the venom continues to take over Bella's body molecule by molecule, in a torturous race to make her inhuman.
"Okay," Alice was the first to speak. She looks over at Carlisle who met her gaze with sincere eyes. "Does he have a plan?"
Carlisle smiles brightly as he states, "Not a specific plan, but he has some ideas that may help."
Alice just nods her head, "Well let's hear them, then."
Author's Note:
I know it's short, but it's just because I have finally been able to write something and I must go to bed as I feel like I am going to die haha.
I have started the next chapter (YAY). It was going to be part of this one, but I need the rest and want to post something for you now to tie you over for a little longer and I figured this was a better place to end it at.
I am hoping the next chapter will be up tomorrow, but don't bet your lives on it as something unexpected always happens to me and I may not be able to post it!
Once again, I am really, really sorry for not being able to update my story any sooner!
However, I should be getting back into it again! :) I've missed writing!
ANYWAYS
Until Next Timeā¦.
