Hi again. I'm getting ready to go to a baseball game, so I'm just posting this really speedy quick.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Enjoy!
I shivered. He was here. Lillian wasn't helping the problem; showing Bella what she called flying and leading Simon right here. He had obviously seen the glow coming from our house, and decided to come here to check it out. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Now, Edward and I were crouched in front of Bella. Simon showed no sign of approach; he merely stood, staring at us. Even at this distance, you could see that his eyes were a brilliant red. Edward had, of course, informed us all of what had happened. Simon thought my sister was one of us.
I almost laughed when I realized he was right; one of my sisters was one of us. I shook my head, not wanting to be distracted by my newest mystery. The point was, Bella was not a vampire, no matter how much I wanted her to be. On any other person, I would never wish this fate, but with Bella, I would always have my little sister here. I had tried to voice my opinion on the matter at the hospital with Carlisle while Bella was sleeping. All he told me was that it was my decision, and that I would make the right choice. I knew that somewhere deep down inside me, maybe subconsciously even, I had make the choice. Now, all I had to do was act on it.
Since I had lived with Bella for so long, whenever she would bleed, be it from a major injury, or a minor one, I never went crazy with thirst. I knew what it would do to me if I killed her, and my whole being shied away from the thoughts and actions that could lead to that outcome. And now with Simon in the mix, I couldn't think of a better time than now to change her. Of course I would talk to her and explain what would happen; I wouldn't change her without her permission. I truly believed that she would agree, although she knew that Charlie would be torn, as would Renée. I was almost eighteen, although I still looked as if I was sixteen, and last year had been my last year of school. After Bella's change, I could use her "death" as an excuse to move away. The rest of my family could move shortly after. We could work it out.
I flinched as my eye caught a sudden movement. It was Simon moving away. He realized that we saw him, and he decided to back down by the looks of it, him being clearly out numbered.
Edward relaxed and stood up straight; I relaxed as well, but turned around to see a very frightened Bella.
"M-mm-mm." She stuttered, shivering. "M-mm-my fa-fault." She got out, falling back slightly. Lillian pushed her wall towards her, catching Bella before she fell. I reached for Bella's hand, pulling her towards me. When she was standing straight, I put up on finger.
"Not your fault." I said, pulling her into a hug. I could feel her shake her head weakly in my chest. It took me a moment before I realized she was crying. I shushed her, rubbing her back, when something hit me. I swore under my breath, realizing that school started tomorrow. Bella couldn't go to school in this condition. She wasn't even ready in regard of school supplies.
"She can use some of ours. We have more than plenty. I think she'll be okay." Edward said from beside me. I released Bella; she had stopped crying, although her eyes were still red and puffy.
"What are you talking about?" She asked.
"We have school tomorrow." Edward answered. I heard Alice groan.
"What?! School doesn't start until August!" She nearly shouted.
"Not here. We got out earlier than you." I said.
"We got out in May. I haven't heard of anyone getting out before then." She said, disbelief clear in her voice.
I shrugged. "We did. So, you have school tomorrow."
Sorry it was so short, but as I said, I'm getting ready to leave. I promise the school field trip scene will be coming really soon!
PLEASE R&R!! :D
