Chapter 21 Unforgivable
Bella's POV
As silently as I could I opened my window and stuck my head through it. It was a cloudy day in Forks Washington, not a big surprise. I swiftly slipped out the window and climbed down the side off the house. Once I got to the ground I stood still trying to listen to see if I have woken any of my coven members. Nothing but their deep breathing and Peter's soft snoring.
"I guess you never told them we were meeting up this morning." Jacob said from behind me. I turned startled, my hand over my heart but I relaxed when I saw it was Jacob. He wore ripped jeans and an old T-shirt, the usual Jacob style. His face was expressionless his arms folded across his chest.
"No, I didn't." I said sheepishly. "Where are we going?"
"I thought we could just walk around the forest, considering there isn't that many other places we could go."
We walked for several minutes, mostly staying quit. We ended up in a small grassy area that had no trees around. We both sat down on the soft grass.
"I wish I could take everything back." Jacob whispered after a few minutes of silence, lying on his back staring up at the grey sky.
"But you can't. I've moved on and I think you should too." I said in a strong voice.
He shook his head "Bella that was in the past, why can't you forgive and forget."
"What you've done is unforgivable Jacob Black. And I've tried to forget but its glued to my mind until the day I die." I sat up glaring down at him. I desperately tried not to cry but could feel my eyes watering.
"Bella I was stupid but give me another chance!"
"No! What you did to me… I will never forget."
"Say it. Say it out loud what I did to make you this way." He challenged.
"You- " my phone started ringing before I could say anything else. I checked the caller id. Jacinda. I sighed and tried to calm down before I answered.
"Hi, Jacinda." I said through the speaker.
"Hey, where are you? We are ready to leave to the Cullen's house."
"Oh right. I was just talking to Jacob. I'll come home now."
"Wait, you guys were having the talk, weren't you? Don't forget to tell him he won't be coming with us to the Cullen's."
"Yes, we are. I'll fill you in later. I'll let him know, bye!" I hang up the phone and turn back to Jacob.
"I have to go, my family is ready to leave to the Cullen's."
"Well aren't I coming?" his eyes were cold and hard and for the first time… empty. Could I have caused this? I thought.
"No. We decided it would be better for us to talk to them alone." I said in a small voice, looking at the ground. "We don't want anything to happen."
"I guess I'll see you around." He turned, without another word and phased into a werewolf, running off.
I ran home but this time, I let the tears fall freely for the first time.
Edward's POV
Zenonia. Different creatures besides vampires and werewolves. Fairies. Wars. History. Love. All of this has been swimming around in my head for the past 36 hours. It had seemed like forever since I have last seen Bella but it had only been three days. What had happened in the meadow with me and Bella was unreal, we were less then centimeters apart from kissing until Emmett had come and the delicate bubble that was around us shattered and the real world seemed to come back and slap us in the face leaving behind Jacob Black.
What would have happened if Emmett had not come? I thought over and over. I can't be thinking like this. What's done is done, I need to talk to Bella once and for all about the way I feel about her. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I am running out of time; danger is looming closer and closer by each passing day.
When we had come back home that day I could tell something was bothering Bella. I tried to make eye contact in any way but it had seemed that she was ignoring me. Maybe she doesn't like me the way I do? That thought alone brought more sadness then I would have ever thought it would. I suddenly felt like a human teenager having a crush on a girl from school. The nervousness, shyness, confusion, all these emotions I had never felt before, is all I've been feeling lately.
When Jacob Black had come it had stirred tension with my family and the Brandon's. We understood from what they had told us that fairies are the creators of all mythical creatures but to see it first hand on the relationship between them, it was weird. I could, of course, read Jacob's mind and it was filled with images of Bella, thoughts on Bella. Something inside me waned to go rip his throat out but Emmett beat me for it and leaped out to Jacob but sadly Bella was two steps ahead of him and threw him to the ground with a loud smack.
What was so special about this Jacob that Bella would protect him so well? I dug inside Jacob's head again and found that he use to be in a relationship with Bella, I wanted to know more but I was distracted when Emmett was pushing his way to Jacob. I gabbed Emmett by the collar and brought him up next to Jasper.
I was brought out of my thoughts by Alice's small hands shaking me. "Edward! Don't pretend your sleeping. Come on!" Alice yelled in my ear. I pushed her off of me and sat up. I honestly didn't hear her come in, even with my sensitive hearing.
"Alice what do you want?" For her sake she better not be asking me to come shopping with her.
She sighed in frustration and put her hands on her hips. "I thought you would like to know, Bella called and said her and the rest will be coming any minute. And I don't want you looking like this in front of her." She smirked raising one of her eyebrows. That evil pixie.
"How much do you know?" I questioned getting up and closing the door but knowing everyone could still hear us easily.
I know you love Bella, your jealous of Jacob, oh and the almost kiss in the meadow. Even her thoughts were smug.
Don't worry I wont tell anyone. You know me. I'm just going to help you charm her a bit, since your not doing such a hot job on your own. She giggled. I sighed knowing she was going to help whether I liked it or not.
We heard them coming long before they knocked the door. Esme and Alice answered the door to greet them.
"Hello how are you guys doing?" I heard Esme say warmly letting them come in.
"Bittersweet." Bella said walking in the living room first before anyone else. Her hair was in a messy bun and was wearing ripped jeans with the ends of the jeans tucked inside her boots and a fitted purple top. She smiled politely to everyone saying a simple "hello" and shook hands with Carlisle.
Everyone else came into the room in the same manner.
"Bella come sit with me and Edward." Alice said patting the place between us. Bella looked at me for a split second before walking over to me and sitting down smiling at Alice. I could faintly hear Alice complementing Bella on her choice of boots.
Peter and Nina sat between Emmett, who was next to Rosalie, and Jacinda. On the other side of Jacinda were Esme and Carlisle.
"What brings you here today?" Carlisle said to no one in particular, trying to keep things light. He kind of sounded like he would be saying this to one of his patients at the hospital.
"Well we came here to tell you some new information, that might involve you. We are not sure yet of any future actions we will be making though." Gale said. I could tell this was serious by the way Gale was speaking, but then again Gale never really shows much emotion to the outside world.
"We had told you about how the reason we had come here from Zenonia is to check in which all the creatures to make sure everything is still running smoothly and to see how much the vampire race has grown in the past century or so. We were assigned different locations around the world Bella was to be here of course but I am suppose to be in Egypt right now, Peter in Brazil, Nina in Germany and Jacinda in Australia. But obviously we are not there, and more importantly without the permission of one of the leaders. Jacob and his pack live in New Zealand,"
"Why aren't they still there." Rosalie commented but Gale went on ignoring her.
"They went to Australia to visit but came across Jacinda's scent. Jacob and his pack have been good friends with us from the past so they were curious as to why we were there. But he could never find any of us so he went to Zenonia and told the leaders what he had found. The leaders had given him instructions to find us and take us back to Zenonia to talk to us… or they will be coming here."
"How could they come here when they don't know where you guys are?" Jasper asked. There was a crease between in brows.
"The leaders are impatient, they can track the pack which will lead them here. Even if we do go to Zenonia they will question us as to why we were not in our assigned places."
"They could easily find information in our minds to. With or without my gift to block them." Bella said, tapping her fingers on her knee.
"We need a plan. And fast." Peter said.
After a few minutes of silence something hit me. "Not to make this more difficult then it already is but what about the Volturi?"
"We've thought about that too. We need to prepare for that also, they have been quit for now but it won't stay that way." Bella said in a small voice.
After going back and forth with different ideas I saw Bella from the corner of my eye shifting her position towards Alice.
"Alice. Alice." Bella gently shook Alice by the shoulders. Jasper came up behind Bella. "She's in a vision. How long has she been in it?" Jasper sat on the other side of Alice taking hold of her hand.
"I don't know. But does it usually take this long?"
I heard him say a soft no. I blocked Alice from me reading her. I don't usually look in her head while she's in a vision; she says it makes it harder for her to concentrate.
Five minutes have passed and still no sign from Alice. Me and Bella had gotten up from our spot to lay down Alice on the couch. Carlisle was looking over Alice but there wasn't much he could do.
"Let's wait for the rest of the night and see if she wakes up. I honestly don't know what has happened to her except she might be "stuck" in a vision in some way." He looked down at Alice as if she were a puzzle he could not find all the pieces to. "You guys are most welcome to stay if you would like." Carlisle added looking at Bella and everyone else. Bella looked at everyone and nodded.
"Thank you Carlisle. We will stay, we want to make sure Alice is all right and what her vision was about."
Now all we had to do was wait.
Hope you liked it please review! :) And sorry about taking forever with this one :/
