Chapter 20
Isabella's POV
It's been a few months since I enrolled the high school located in Alaska and started my life as a 'normal' teen girl. Although, the fucking past kept haunting me and the Cullen crew is here too. Dickward keeps following me like a lost puppy and keeps telling me that I love him and he will do everything in his might to get me back froom Jasper's 'satanic powers'. And I was like 'Keep the devil out of this! This is between you and me!'. And guess what? He thought that I'm completely lost but he still loves me and blah blah blah.
When I told that to Jasper, he cracked up laughing like never before. Peter and Char, after hearing the story, joined in too and soon, we were nearly rolling on our tables. Not very polite and recommended doing in the crowded cafeteria surrounded by curious students with the 'WTF?' face and a enraged Cullen table. Pixie is fuming every time Jasper kisses me or hugs me while we walk and I can't help but smirk at her every time we pass by. She send me the death glare but that just widens my smirk.
I was driving in my car while listening to 'Monster' by Meg & Dia. I simply loved the lyrics of the song and enjoyed it. I sang along in my car with my super melodic vampire voice swaying my body to the rythm. Suck on that, Michael Jackson. After the song ended, it switched on 'Alone' by Sleeping With Sirens. I groaned in delight. I love this song! They're so right! Nobody deserves to be alone. Some just deserve to die. I sang along again and bobbed my head up and down, enjoying the lyrics.
When I finally arrived, I noticed other cars in front of our house. I was suspicious so I immediately ran into the house, in the awaiting arms of Jasper. His arms wrapped tightly around my frame as I stared into the familiar faces of the fucking Cullen clan,
"What are they doing here?" I asked Jasper staring rudely at the unwelcome coven.
"Nice to see you too, Isabella." Carlisle pointed out, smiling fakely and I just grimaced,
"Keep the pleasentries fro yourself Doc. We both know we can't stand each other." he sighed. I continued,
"Now answer my question. What are you doing here?"
"We thought our first meeting wasn't as expected and we came to welcome you in the vampire world." Esme said.
"Yeah, yeah, thanks now bye!" I said and shooed them out. They looked surprised but didn't move.
"Be polite, you idiot." Alice snarled at me but I rolled my eyes.
"I have a great plan of ignoring you. Don't make it harder than it is."
"Since when?"
"Since now!" I growled at her and she shrunk back and I snickered. She's still a motherfucking coward. I sighed and looked at the Cullens and after a few minutes of pointless staring I sighed and bit out,
"I'm out." and with this I barged out the door. I soon sensed someone behind me and I knew wo it is before the familiar arms encircled me.
"You know, I can sense something from them, like they're hiding something but I can't put my finger on what it is..." Jasper trailed off, and I snuggeld close to his cold embrace. The familiarness of it soothed my rigid muscels and my senses and it was welcomed. I sighed. Since the Cullens moved to Alaska, the atmosphere in our house was always kind of tense, aalways waiting someone to barge in and kill us all. That wouldn't be a hard task, but if the vampires outnumbered us, we would be dead, no exception.
This thoughts scared me. A lot. What a mate would I be if I allowed my mate to die so easily? I couldn't live without the hot empath continously standing by my side. We were very intimate by this point, after all these years, I mean. Life was great, and since the visit to Volturi, we were finally able to live a fearless life.
Despite this, I had that strange feeling that something's gonna happen. The Cullens were also acting overly friendly, and Jasper's words of how he couldn't read their emotions very well, deepend my doubts at the Foerks Coven.
"Bella, Darling, what are you thinking about so hard?" Jasper's sultry voice whispered in my ear and I shuddered inwardly. Not my fault my body reacts so freakingly werid to his voice! I sighed, for God knows what time
"I was just thinking why are the Cullens so nice? Why are they here in the first place? Ain't that a little weird?" I asked. Jasper thought for a second before speaking.
"You're right. But still...maybe they just changed."
"You aren't serious!"
"Bella! Honey, it's been four years! Surely they gonna change sometimes!"
"Jasper! That's not their case! How can you be so trsurting towards thse people? How? After all they've done to you!"
"Bella, you was in a relationship with Edward. The family started loving you. They still do!"
"Yeah, only if I return to Edward! Don't you get it? Alice and Edward are the only member of this goddamn clan that has somehow 'useful' powers! They trust them! More than you, Rose and Emmett together! They just love their 'golden' son and daughter, the ones who allowed the clan longer existence! If there wasn't them, the Volturi would have destroyed them! But, Edward and Alice managed to convince them to keep them alive, and the Volturi knew they couldn't lose such 'useful' gifts! Why are you defending them?!" I was yelling by this point at my mate and I turned to face him completely, his crimson eyes showing confusion, but utter determination also. It was confusing he wish to return?
Wasn't I enough?
Am I not strong enough to keep him?
My heated glare and anger slowly cooled down and I altered my gaze downwards. My hair fell in front of my eyes, shaodwing the pained stare I directed to the ground. Soon, the wind blew and the hair flew from my face, leaving me vulnerable to Jasper's eyes. A pair of black shoes came into my view and a long, slender finger lifted my chin up. I met Jasper's soft eyes and smile and he slowly dipped his head lower and gently kissed me.
The kiss was feather-like, nothing much, no passion, no lust, just pure love. Then, his lips trailed to my ear where he whispered,
"I'm not defending them. You are right. Something is wrong and we will find out. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I'm so sorry." I crashed into his chest, my arms embracing his chest and my head burried in his shoulder. One of his hands threated into my black hair and he fisted it gently. I don't know how long we stood there, but too sun, he said we should go inside. It's almost dark, and Peter is worried. I chuckeld somberly but followed him in.
The Cullens still were inside our house but I ignored them and snuggeld closer to Jasper's side. I closed my eyes wishing I could sleep.
"Lift your shield a little." Jasper whispered.
"What?" I replied incredoulously. Is he insane?
"just do it." he urged and I obeyed. I liften the blueish coat surrounding me but kept it firmly on my mind. Then, I felt lethragy settling upon me and I smiled. Jasper's realxing me. How sweet.
When I opened my eyes, I felt great. Like my mind took a long vacation or something. I streched like a cat and then I noticed it was daytime.
"Moring, sleepy head." Jasper voice chuckeld into my ear. I mewed and hugged him,
"What time is it? How long was I knocked off?" Jasper chuckeld again and replied,
"It's noon. You slept around 12 hours."
"You meen I was comatose for 12 hours."
"Well...yeah." then, our lovely moment destroyed SOMEONE knocking on the door. I groaned but got up and opened the offending piece of wood. And there, in all his sparkly flory, stood Marcus Volturi.
I cocked a borw and motioned him to come in. When I closed the door, I stood by the now warily looking Jasper, eyeing our guest.
"Good morning, Jasper, Isabella. I came here for a favor." I sighed. They managed to get into a battle this soon? Great, guys, very inconspicious from you.
"What's the matter?" came Jasper's deep voice. Marcus looked serious now, his brows furrowed.
"well..." he seemed to hesitate but he continued anyways,
"I need you to help me kill Aro."
Silence.
