I don't own anything!
Chapter 28:
Britt POV:
The pain has subsided a lot since this all started.
Bella has notified me when each day has passed.
We were on day three now. So it was only a matter of time before it was over.
All the pain now was mainly in my chest.
Bella: Okay you're going feel your heart speed up. It'll last for like 20 minutes then it will be over.
Heidi: in other words it is going to hurt like hell.
They were not kidding. Within seconds my heart started pounding and it hurt. I wonder if this is what human final moments are like.
After 25 minutes exactly, Bella counted out loud for me.
And then the three days of torture stopped.
I snapped my eyes open. Although I knew Bella and Heidi were in the room, seeing Bella approach me I slipped into a crouch.
Bella: seriously. Not even 15 minutes old and you want to fight me already.
I hissed at her. She did not even miss a step she just kept walking at me.
I charged her, having every plan to decapitate her.
Bella POV:
Ugghhh…the joy of the newborn. I don't want to hurt little Brittany Lee, after all she knows who I am, and I know the emotions of a newborn are like a crazy rollercoaster.
I watched as she charged me. As she approached me I let lose my power. I cut of all of her senses, and she will get them back when she calms down.
Britt: Damn it Bella!
Carlisle: (comes walking in) everything alright, everyone is looking forward to seeing her.
Bella: Don't damn it me Britt. You're the one who just tried to attack me. You listen here little lady. One your mate isn't here for a reason. I can and I will take limbs from you if you refuse to listen. Two, as you know I don't put up with shit, and I only play nice for so long. Three I am your friend, and I am your sire. Until you can control yourself without trying to kill anyone I will treat you like a mindless newborn. Fourth you try and attack me again, you will learn why I am the warrior. Are we clear?
Britt: yes.
I gave her, her senses back. She stood there calmly.
Bella: Britt would you like to go hunting?
Britt: Would it make the scratchiness go away?
Bella: it'll dull it, but it will never go away. Eventually it becomes one of those things that is there but you don't focus on it. Heidi is learning that with her new diet now. She is basically like a newborn, the smell of human blood, she will immediately go for the kill.
Britt: she didn't kill me
Bella: I had a shield around you. She has very strong self-control as well.
Britt: Let's go hunt
Bella: okay
I led her to through Emmett's office to the balcony. I climb so I was standing on the railing perfectly balanced.
Bella: Are you coming?
Britt: why can't we just use the front door?
Bella: you said you wanted to be like us, and now you're chickening out once nothing can hurt you. Seriously I don't understand you sometimes.
Britt: I was not chickening out. I was trying to understand the logic.
Bella: don't question, just do that's the logic.
Britt: Okay
She hesitantly approached the railing. She attempted to jump on to it, but applied a little too much strength and went over the balcony. I predicted it was going to happen, typical newborn thing. The saying you don't know your own strength is so true.
Bella: Okay, when we get back to the house, we are going to start working on strength and touching things. That way when Jasper comes back you won't crush him.
Britt: I could crush him?
Bella: you're a newborn. You could easily crush any of us. Maybe the exception of me, because if I am angry I revert back to newborn strength and the red eyes.
I caught the smell of a human coming up our property. Well shit…great timing if they have a damn death wish. The smell hasn't hit Britt's nose yet, and I wasn't taking any chances. I sprung at her and took her to the ground. Again this caused another fight.
Bella: Brittany Lee Ann Cullen, stop trying to…god damn it you bit me! Look if you would relax for 10 fucking seconds you'd understand I actually have a freaking reason, or do you want to start losing limbs!
She literally bit me 5 more times before my temper got the best of me. I did two things I bit her back, so she knew that it burned and not to do it to someone else, and two I look her hand.
Britt: Bitch! That hurt!
Bella: I gave you 2 warnings, now there is no more.
Britt: You are a bitch!
Bella: And you are a newborn. Congrats I am glad our paths crossed. Now stop fighting me and listen.
Britt: get off of me!
Bella: not a chance in hell sweetheart.
Britt: why not?
Bella: you must be to focused on trying to kick my ass to full be aware what's going on. Take a deep breathe. Tell me what happens
She for once did as I told her.
Britt: Oh my god! Someone put out the fucking fire! It smells so good, I want it! I need it!
Bella: you are right that you need it, technically at least. But you will not have it. That is the smell of a human, and that it the reaction you get.
Britt: you mean this is how you all around me?
Bella: to an extent. It isn't nearly as bad, once you have fed, and you are situated on the animal diet. Now if I let you up, and you make one move to go anywhere near the human. I will be pissed off and you will lose the other hand. Remember I can catch you.
I slowly got up. Britt stood up slowly, I could tell she was holding her breath. I gave her credit this is one of the worst case scenarios that could happen with a day old new born. I grabbed her good hand, and took off running. As soon as I reached the point where I could not smell it anymore I stopped grabbed her arm and reattached her hand.
Britt: I am sorry for biting you, and fighting you again
Bella: It's really not your fault. It is what being a newborn is like. It'll get easier I promise. Now let's hunt, and then we will see if the human is gone.
Britt: how?
Bella: it's instinctual. Close your eyes, and I will guide you. Take a deep breath and listen tell me what you smell and hear
Britt: I hear four different heart beats, and a smell of some kind of animal. Definitely not as appetizing as the human.
Bella: it's not no lies there. But now do what your body is telling you to do.
I watched her carefully to make sure she was not trying to make a run for it, I really hope that was the first and last time I had to rip a body part off of her. I could tell though she was going to be a tough newborn. I would easily become as decorated as Jasper and Peter if I was playing nice with her.
She crept closer to her pray, doing well. She sank into a crouch and sprang on to the back of the moose. She took it down, after a while of fighting it. Probably should have told her it is easier if you snap the neck. In a way though it looked like she was playing with her food.
Great….another Emmett. Those two will be great hunting partners during bear season. Emmett loves to piss of the bears.
When she finished the first one, she took down the second one. This one was not nearly as much of a struggle as the first one was. But still needed work, all comes with practice I guess.
After she finished, she stood up looked at me. I started walking slowly toward her. This is where newborns attack most often. Right after hunting, they fear you're going to take their hunt, whether they are finished or not. She looked at me stood up, and then slipped fluently into a crouch. I placed my hands up trying to show her I meant no harm.
She snarled at me.
Bella: Brittany Lee, I mean no harm. Deep down you know that. I don't want to fight with you.
She replied with another snarl.
I put my hands down and braced for a fight.
I didn't have to wait long before she charged at me. She came within arm's reach and tried to bite my neck, but I had my hand around her neck, and her suspended in the air in a second.
Bella: I don't want you god damn drained moose.
Britt: Bella, I am sorry. I don't know what came over me. I knew you were approaching, I was okay and calm until you were within ten feet of me then I lost it.
Bella: I am glad you were able to explain that to me. I am going to put you down and we are going to practice walking at a nice human pace back to the house. Okay?
Britt: sounds good.
I placed her back on her feet. I stood there observing her reactions to everything. She started really focusing on a tree on the other side of the meadow we were at. Her eyes changed to the bright orange and then with a second the tree was on fire. Great now she can torch my ass.
I decided I was going to absorb her pair. If I could figure out how to use it, then I can help her learn to use it, without any family members being engulfed into flames. I used my water power and put out the fire. I looked at her she was shocked.
Bella: clearly you are gifted.
Britt: I could kill someone.
Bella: yes, but don't worry. I absorb your power. I will learn how to use it then teach you.
Britt: thank god you are a sponge.
Bella: in these sort of times it is every helpful
With that we started slowly walking off back to the house, where hopefully she would learn pretty quickly how to put clothes on without ripping them. It took me 3 days to figure it out, and about 300 hundred different outfits. She catches on quick, but like me also has a very short temper.
