Today, Edward and I were going shopping for the Hell of it. We wanted to get out of the house; do something fun. Alice was pissed that we weren't taking her but I told her it's either Edward and I go and she doesn't go or I never go shopping with her again. She stopped pouting after that.
We pulled up to the Port Angeles mall and I eyed it warrily.
"It's ok, Love. I'll protect you." Edward said, seeing my warry glance at the fairly sized building ahead of us.
Edward chuckled and got out of the car. He came around to my side and opened my door for me, grabbing my hand and locking the car, we made our way to the front doors.
When we entered, my eyes were drawn to the first store on our right, Spencer's. I pulled Edward in it's direction.
"Time too shop." He muttered.
We had been to about eight shops and I was about to end up murdering someone. Numerous girls eye humped Edward on numerous occasions. Even store clerks. He didn't notice but I did. I gave each and every single girl a sinister glare that only a vampire can do. They all looked away quickly.
We were at a store called Charlotte Russe and I was buying Alice a gorgeous blue wrap dress. As I grabbed it, my phone dinged.
It was a message from Alice.
Thanks, Bella, I love it!
I laughed at my phone and put it back in my back pocket. Edward arched a brow at me.
"Alice." Is all I said. He nodded in understanding.
I took the dress up to the check out and I growled in frustration. A gorgeous girl with long brown hair, blue eyes, and a big bust was checking Edward out, passing him flirtatious glances. She looked at me with disqust.
"Did you find everything ok today?" She asked in a monotone, still starring at Edward.
"Yes, we did." I said, putting an emphasis on "we." She shot me a look.
She turned her attention back to Edward and smiled slutty at him.
"Anything else?" She purred.
That was the final straw.
I slammed my hand down on the desk and she jumped back, looking shocked.
"We found everything perfectly. What I don't find perfect is you EYE FUCKING and FLIRTING with MY Fiancee! If you want to keep that OBVIOUSLY fake nose of yours, you better back the fuck up, bitch, before I do some serious damage." Before she could say anything, Alice burst through the doors to the store.
I watched as the girl at the desk, named Leslie from her name tag, scurried over to Alice.
"Miss Cullen! What a surpirise! Shall I go get Tracy?"
"No. I'm just here to accompany my BROTHER and his Fiancee on there shopping today." She said, pointing to me and Edward.
Leslie froze.
"You brother?" She squeaked.
"Yes. And Bella, his Fiancee, my best friend."
Leslie turned too me and gave me a pleading look.
"Well, Alice, I believe you shouldn't shop here anymore. Leslie here was very rude today."
And with that, I grabbed Edward's hand, turned on my heel, and walked out of the shop, leaving a very flustered looking Leslie behind.
LATER THAT DAY
"Hey, Austin?" I called from my room. Austin was next to me in a second.
"Watcha want, bitch?" He said, picking at his nails. I flipped him off and he smirked at me, flipping me off right back.
"What do you want for Christmas?" I asked, turning to my closet and shifting through it, trying to find a decent tank top to wear on this sunny day.
Austin sighed and fell back on the bed, starring at the ceiling.
"A mate." He said solemnly.
I felt my heart tug on its strings and I turned to face him.
"We both know I can't do that, babe." I said gently. (AN: Bella and Austin DO NOT and will NEVER get together, Bella will call anyone that she's close to 'babe'."
Austin's eyes were full of venom as he chewed his lip, deep in thought.
"I've been a vampire for some time now and I haven't met him. The one. I'm gay, Bells. I'm not going to go straight, for anyone, never. And they're obviously no other gay vampires out there. What am I going to do, die alone? I can't die alone! I'm to sexy for that!" He said, raising his voice at the end.
I couldn't help rolling my eyes. So dramatic, this boy.
"Austin, you'll find someone. I mean, come on, your Austin for God's sakes. Your pretty fucking close to perfect and anyone would be lucky as fuck to have you. I'm sure you can turn any hot, sexy vampire man gay with just one look."
Austin looked at me happily.
"Really?" He asked, a look of joy on his face.
"Really. Now enough with the heavy, whore bag. OH, and," I leaned over and smacked the back of his head really hard, "self confidence bitch."
"What the fuck?!" He yelled, holding the back of his head, wincing.
"I beat some self confidence in you." I said, shrugging my shoulders. I turned back to my closet.
I didn't hear him pounce. He jumped up and dove at me, wrapping his arms around my waist and knocking us sideways into my dresser. I laughed and wriggled under him, grabbing his nipples and yelling "TITTIE TWISTER!"
He yelled and rolled off me. Before I could do anything else, Edward had Austin by his throat, holding him against the wall. He was snarling and hissing, tightening his fingers slowly. Austin didn't struggle but simply grabbed Edward's hands and to prevent them from popping his head off.
"If you ever touch my Bella again, I swear I will-."
"EDWARD ANTHONY CULLEN." I yelled, my hands on my hips.
Edward turned his head to me slowly, a look of terror spreading on his face.
"Y-yes Love?" He squeaked.
"You put him down. Right. This. Minute." I said, deadly calm.
Edward's face hardened again at my words.
"No! This son of a bitch-."
"Excuse me? What did you just say to me?"
Edward saw his mistake and quickly threw Austin to the ground.
"Love, I'm sorry-."
"You just said NO to ME?" I yelled, my voice full of astonishment.
"Yes, but-."
"No! Goodbye, Edward."
I turned and ran out of the house and into the forest. I heard Edward running behind me, calling my name.
I was pissed. Beyond pissed, even. No one had ever said no to me. I always got what I wanted. Always. And it made me mad, though I knew it was wrong.
I pushed my legs harder and got lost in the forest, heading towards God knows where.
After a while, I had lost Edward and slowed down to a slight jog. I noticed a small opening in front of me and I was curious.
It was a hiking trail I realized with further inspection. It was obviously worn and had been recently used from the fresh smell of human and dog blood wafting around it.
"She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes. . . . "
My head snapped up to the singing of a man walking around the turn of the trail. I quickly jumped onto a tree above me and froze.
The smell of fresh blood swirled around me and beckoned me to it. I covered my mouth and nose forcefully, but it didn't help.
"Oh, she'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes!" The man sung, oblivious to me in the tree.
Go, kill! Kill!
The monster inside of me consumed me in that moment, thrashing its way up my body to my brain, possessing it. I couldn't fight it; the blood lust was to strong. The man was to close.
I instantly jumped on top of him. He crumpled to the ground under my weight, his ribs obviously shattered. When he focused on me, his eyes widened.
"Are...are you an angel?" He whispered, the pain in his body forgotten for the moment. He was to stunned by my beauty to care.
"No..." I whispered, caressing his cheek.
I leaned down close to him; so close, my lips almost engulfed his ear. I smiled evilly and whispered to him.
"I'm the devil."
I snapped his neck in one quick movement and drained him dry, the blood flow feeling as good as a druggie using marijuana after a long withdraw. My body relaxed and when he was drained, I sat back my heels and patted my tummy.
I starred at the lifeless body, the blood lust still swirling in my head. After what seemed like forever, I heard the sound of foot falls coming toward me. My head snapped in it's direction and I stood up.
Edward burst through the trees and when he saw me, bloody and frantic looking, and the body, drained and lifeless, he gasped.
The blood lust faded instantly and I was confused.
"Edward? Edward, what is it?"
He walked toward me slowly, staring behind me. Confused, I turned around and saw the body.
"Oh God.." I gasped, bringing my hands to clutch my face. I felt something slick on my face and I wiped it off and looked at my hand.
Bright red and still warm blood.
His blood.
"Not again...no...please...let this be a dream..."
I fell to my knees, my body wracking with sobs, holding myself.
Edward fell next to me, rocking me back and forth. He didn't bother to tell me it'll be alright. He knew it was a lie.
"Edward...kiss it all better...make it go away..." I sobbed.
I looked up at the body of the man. He probably had a wife and kids, waiting for him at home. Parent's, brother's, sister's...
"Make it go away..."
