Eclipse: Chapter 3- Remember Your Place
As I drove down the road towards somewhere to eat, I got incredibly thirsty. I shut my eyes and attempted to get the feeling to go away- but it wouldn't. As I pulled up to a bar, I shut my eyes and took deep breaths saying, "Breathe, Cory. Breathe."
I opened my eyes once I had a little more control, and got out of the car. I walked into the bar and as I smelled all the humans all I could think was one thing: blood.
3rd POV
"After I talked to her, she went somewhere to eat," Edward said as he drove around Port Angeles in his Volvo. Cory hadn't been heard from in over three hours and everyone was worried. Emmett, who sat in the passenger's seat said, "That's her jeep right there!"
Edward quickly pulled in next to it, and they got out. Edward looked in the jeep and said, "She's not there."
They headed into the bar to see blood splatters here and there. Then they walked down the aisles a bit and saw that there was a pile of bodies, all dead. Twenty-eight.
"I confess, I did it," They heard. They turned around to see Cory's shirt completely soaked in red and there were blood lines on her mouth from where she bit the humans and she was grinning. Edward and Emmett were in shock. They had never seen Cory like this. Ever. She had always been in control of her thirst.
"Sorry about the mess," Cory said as she looked over at the pile, "It was a little crowded when I arrived, and… I prefer more intimate gatherings."
Cory still had a grin on her face and Emmett said, "Cory, are you… okay?"
"I'm perfectly fine, Emmett," Cory grinned. Edward knew something was off. He tried getting into Cory's head as she drank from a whiskey bottle and was shocked to see it completely wide open for him. No walls. He was even more shocked, and worried, to see that everything was blank from her mind except three things- killing Victoria, her love for Kol, and protecting Bella.
"You know the humanity switch she talked about when we first met her?" Edward asked as he stood in the living room. They all nodded and Edward said, "Her switch was just turned off."
"What?" Rosalie asked, standing up.
"She killed twenty-eight people in a bar, and when we arrived- she apologized for the mess. She had a grin on her face the whole time. Then before we left, she lit the place on fire and walked away whistling. If that's not it, then I don't know what is."
"Is it safe for Bella to be around her?" Alice asked. Edward nodded and said, "Protecting Bella was one of the only things on her mind. Bella will be fine."
"How do we help her?" Carlisle asked.
"You don't need to help me," They heard. They looked over to see Cory standing on the doorframe and as Edward tried getting into her mind he said, "Your switch is back on…"
"It goes off when I'm overly stressed or very miserable," Cory said, "In my case, it was both. I fought with it, and finally got it back on. Not without difficulty though."
Cory walked forwards and said, "Bella will be safe, I promise you that. But if it is off," She turned to face all of the Cullens, "Do not try and stop me. I cannot tell you how many vampires I have killed when they tried to stop me when I was on a rampage. I don't want any of you to be one of them."
As soon as Cory left Edward said, "I have an idea to help her."
"Go ahead," Rosalie said. Edward took a deep breath and said, "We need to call Klaus and get him to bring us Kol."
"What?" Emmett asked, standing up, "This guy daggered his own siblings, what makes you think he won't hurt us!?"
Carlisle nodded and said, "It's a chance we need to take. No one is safe if Cory is struggling with her humanity."
They all nodded and Jasper said, "So who's going to steal her phone?"
As Cory drove up to the house, she saw Jacob dropping Bella off. She internally sighed as she got out. Jacob and her hadn't been on good terms ever since she left for Volterra. Cory didn't really mind, but she hated all the crap that he always said towards her. Take right now for example.
As Cory headed inside behind Bella, Jacob said, "Oh look, the walking textbook is back."
Cory grit her teeth and turned around saying, "At least I have a textbook in my brain while you struggle to remember your place."
Cory then headed inside.
As I walked in the house, Charlie was talking to Bella and I heard him say, "Oh. Good." Then there was a knock on the door. I rolled my eyes and was about to head upstairs when I smelled it. I shot upstairs. I looked around Bella's room and looked at her dream-catcher. Edward then ran in and Bella came soon after him.
"Edward, Cory, what's wrong?" Bella asked him.
"Someone's been in here," I said as I headed outside.
AN: See what I meant by "I ALMOST SPOILED THE NEXT CHAPTER"? Yeah, Cory stole Kol's line. Funny thing is, is that Cory and Jacob aren't getting along at the moment.
P.S. I got a fortune cookie that told me I was original and creative. Hmm.
