BPOV (as it will be unless I say otherwise)
I came to my senses when I heard an urgent knocking on the guest bedroom door, followed by a loud voice calling my name, "Bella, open up!" I groaned and rolled off the bed, completely forgetting the fact that I was butt naked, with my hair messed up and the certain glow of a girl who jut lost her virginity to the love of her life, err, existence.
I opened the green double doors to reveal Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice who was looking longingly up at Jasper who looked like he was trying very hard to ignore her. Well until they looked at me, then they all gasped and immediately covered their eyes which confused since I had no idea I was still in the nude.
"Whadder you guys…" I started blearily, my mind strangely foggy preventing me from speaking and thinking clearly, and then looked down at my bare body and screamed at the top of my lungs, slamming the doors shut in my friends' faces. I was quickly garbed a skin tight black spaghetti strap shirt with a built in bra, a pink thong, and a pair of Edward's boxers I had stolen from him.
I pulled one of the many elastics off of my wrist and piled all of my hair on the back of my head near the top, wrapping the band around the hair, taming it slightly. I hurriedly opened the doors again where the others still stood on the other side, covering their eyes and looking extremely tense, probably wondering if I was going to open the door and be naked again.
"You guys can open your eyes now, I'm decent." I chuckled, feeling like I could take on the world with the happy mood I was in at the moment. They slowly uncovered different shaded blue eyes and seemed relieved that I had put on some clothes and filed into the room after receiving a crook of my forefinger, beckoning them forward.
They each took a seat on the foot of the large king size bed, unaware of Edward who was buried under the thick comforter and probably as close to sleep as he could ever get. I snuggled up under the covers, nudging Edward's arms apart so I could burrow myself in between them, which blocked me from the view of the confused humans who sat across from us.
"Err, what are you doing Bella, we have something extremely important to ask you." I heard Emmett say, placing his hand on my foot, bouncing it against the bed slightly. Edward and I sat up so that we were resting against the mound of pillows beneath us and shocking Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice since they had no idea Edward had been under the covers.
They looked even more shocked when they saw Edward's bare chest and even more messy than usual hair and add that to the fact I that I had been naked when I opened the doors and you get four very surprised humans. After recovering from their shocked trance I decided to break the tension, "So what is going on? What do you have do ask me about?"
It was Rosalie who answered, "We want an explanation. For what the hell has been happening for the past four days! After you pulled Alice off of Jeremy and you two started beating each other up everyone ran inside." the others nodded while Alice looked hurt and painfully confused, I had forgotten that none of them had any idea that Jacquelyn was the biggest traitor in the world.
"For starters, everyone give Alice a huge hug because it looks like she is going start sobbing any second, then I will explain." grudgingly, everyone hugged Alice tightly, Jasper doing so longer than the others and seeming like he really did not want to let go. Even though he thought she had screwed a guy in the school parking lot, and had probably dumped him painfully before doing so while it was really my twisted mother figure, he still cared strongly for her.
"Okay, you all know my mother, Jacquelyn?" they all nodded, obviously wondering where I was going with this. To them my mom was the definition of the perfect mother and were going to be shocked when they heard what was coming next. She had baked award winning cookies for them when the came over after school and she often wore her apron she used to appear human, "Well her and some other vampires kidnapped Alice and Edward who they almost killed." I paused to kiss Edward's cheek before continuing.
"Long story short, Jacquelyn apparently had a power to disguise herself as other people so she disguised herself as Alice so that is who was acting so stupid at the mall and who did all that shit in the parking lot. And don't worry, she's never going to bother us again, I destroyed her. She is also responsible for Mike, Jacob, and, most recently, Benjamin's deaths." to say that they looked upset, angry, and sad would be an understatement.
They all had tears brimming in their eyes and, before anyone else had the chance to do anything, Jasper had Alice in his arms and was smothering her in a bone-crushing hug, kissing every inch of her face, his face wet with tears. Alice just cried and held on tightly to Jasper, wrapping her legs around his waist which brought a wave of memories that had me burying my face in Edward's naked chest, trying to contain my giggles.
I honestly couldn't help it, this was a moment for happy tears and comforting, not laughter that had nothing to do with current events but more so with the previous night's… activities. I was met with quizzical looks from the four at the foot bed but Edward was chuckling along with me, seeing Alice and Jasper and how similar the position was to one he and I had been in, hours before.
"How could you two be laughing right now?" Rosalie demanded, giving us a look that seemed to question our sanity. I controlled myself, lifting my head from below the blankets and taking a deep breath, pretending to wipe tears out of my eyes before I tried to explain something so personal without actually telling them what had happened last night. As if they didn't already know. I hadn't exactly been virgin looking when I opened the door.
"Erm, you guys can probably guess what happened last night and the position Alice and Jasper are currently in just brought on some very… good memories." I explained, biting my lower lip as sounds of my and Edward's gasps and moans filled my mind, bringing on another wave of tinkling laughter. Edward tried to shush me but the effect was void because he joined in on my laughter.
"You two are so weird." Jasper said sadly, shaking his slowly back and forth and then tenderly kissing Alice on the forehead before she burrowed her face into his neck.
***********************
"I'm surprised no one is saying anything about what happened on Monday." Emmett pointed out Wednesday morning as we sat at one of the damp paint chipped picnic tables in the schoolyard, waiting for an appropriate time to go to class. Alice looked down and fidgeted nervously with the hem of her skirt, she had been trying to block out the horrible memories of what had happened to her lately.
"Well, since none of them can remember the incident I think it would be very hard for them to." I laughed, grasping onto Edward's chalk white hand which was more familiar to me now more than my own small slender fingered ones. Alice got a large smile on her face and reached over the table to hug me tightly and whisper in my ear, "Thank you so much, Bella." she pulled away and kissed Jasper on the cheek, telling him what she had said.
We continued to sit there and chat about trivial things for a few minutes until Edward asked the question him and I were both burning to ask, "How would you guys feel on the subject of us changing you into… one of us." he inquired slowly, bringing the question around like so, so that they wouldn't overreact and have a much more unreasonable reaction than necessary.
Rosalie clutched her dark blue shirt clad stomach and got a terrified look on her face, she knew that the transformation would kill her children, for she would be frozen in her current state of pregnancy. If I had been human I would have been sick to my stomach at what she thought we were about to do, "No Rosalie, even if you said yes it would have to wait until after their birth, we're not monsters." I said firmly, placing my hand gently on her warm peach colored forearm.
She relaxed instantly, smiling at me gratefully and patting her bulging tummy, "Then I guess, I know it will be painful but I know we have no other choice. Didn't you tell us about the Volturi and how they would either change or… erm, kill any humans who knew the… secret?" she whispered, looking around to make sure there weren't any eavesdroppers.
I was shocked she had remembered that, I had only vaguely mentioned that fact during one of the many sleepovers we had been having over the past months. Every weekend Alice and Rosalie, and sometimes Saera and Angela, spent the weekend over at my expansive house, talking about anything and everything and succeeding in doing whatever it was we wanted to do.
"Yes, that's true, also we should wait until you all graduate from high school. That way you can learn everything you need to and you will have time to really think this over." Edward answered. He obviously cared too much for them to let them make the decision that would forever alter their lives, a decision that could only be changed by death. I didn't think to point out that Jasper and Emmett only had a few days until they were out of high school, seniors graduated in two more days, leaving the rest of the school with their finals and other lessons for another week or so.
The warning bell rang, telling us we had ten minutes before class started, and we all gradually separated, heading off to our various classes, Edward and I to calculus. Today I wore white short shorts, much like the ones I wore to the mall on Saturday except the hem of these were frayed. I paired them off with a black 3 OH! 3 tee shirt and paint splattered grey Converse and a whole load of bracelets.
My hair was bleach blond almost white today and I had all of my usual piercings in but people stared at me like they had never seen me before; they actually thought I was a new person. "Damn, the new girl is a fucking beast! I'm tearing that ass up tonight." some idiotic child boasted to his friends, staring greedily at my exposed white legs. I scoffed and continued walking, hearing more whispers and comments.
"Holy shit! Bella is going to be pissed! This new girl looks just like her, and I'm pretty sure Bella won't like having someone look just like her." a girl whispered frantically to her friends, giving me pitiful looks that looked like they thought I was going to get beaten up. Alice, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie had all immediately known it was me, commenting on it and giving their approval, proves how stupid everyone else was.
They also obviously didn't notice the fact that Edward had his arm wrapped around my waist and how we walked around each other, every move a mirror image of the other. More people stared along with some wolf-whistles and glares that would have made a human girl cringe, they simply made me scoff and glare back ten-fold.
"OMG! Another new girl! But the year is almost over. Why would someone come so late?" Jessica Stanley's short and plump frame craned around Lauren's taller one, scrunching her eyes to scrutinize the new kid. Suddenly her flat brown eyes widened so that they showed the whites and then narrowed to tiny slits as she glared with all her might at me, probably willing me to burst into flames.
"That's no new girl!" she shouted, loud enough for her annoying voice to carry down the hall and into the classrooms bordering the corridor for all to hear, "That's just Bella. What a freak, look at her hair!" recognition hit everyone like a sack of rank gym socks and whispers rang through the crowded corridor. "She looks so different!" , "I want to fuck her so badly!", "I knew it was her all along." They continued much the same, people fawning over my looks and some even Edward's, it was all very monotonous and repetitive which really bored me.
"Yes, yes it is me, Bella Laroche! No need to panic, just because Lauren and Jessica made jackasses of themselves at Prom there is no need to fear me, I had nothing to do with it." I held up my hands, palms facing outward as if I were attempting to calm an angry crowd. A few people looked confused, those that didn't go to prom, and most looked amused at the mention of the event they had witnessed at the dance.
"Wait, you're Bella Laroche?" a plain looking Junior asked timidly, hugging her binder to her chest. Several people stared at me, excitement filling their eyes as they finally figured out who I was even though I had been at this school for well over a while. Edward was laughing at this, he found it funny that they only just now realized that I was, in a way, famous.
"Yes I am. Why did it take you all six months to realize this?" I demanded, mildly amused at their bashful downcast eyes, they honestly thought I was getting angry about something so stupid. "Well your friends didn't notice either." a boy shouted indignantly. There were murmurs of agreement and I was getting impatient with their childish antics.
"I'm sure they did, they were just nice enough not to bother me about it." I replied, putting my hand on my well rounded hip and tapping my foot on the floor, exhaling an exasperated sigh through my lips, the air whistling inaudibly to human ears around the hoops at each corner of my mouth.
"Are you really a ballerina in the Russian Ballet Company?" a quiet voice asked from the back. It was a girl about medium height with long black hair braided and twisted over her shoulder and several books about ballet clutched in her long, slender arms. She had glasses shoved on her nose and she wore something that looked like a leotard along with shorts that ended just above the knee. On her feet were big clunky hiking boots that were caked with mud. Acne splotched over her face as if by a sponge.
"I was. I was the best, but I quit because the others hated me because of my talent." I answered bitterly, remembering the few months that I spent with one of the supposed best company's in the world. Compared to me, however, they looked like drunken monkeys while I was the epitome of perfection. The director absolutely adored me but he was ancient and died after my first four months and was replaced by a fool that would be better off teaching four year olds.
The other dancers disliked me but the old director made them keep their mouths shut about any problems they had with me and once he was gone the jealous women sabotaged me every chance they got. They would slice up my skirts, attempt to trip me during our performances, and one particularly vicious girl, Barbara, was constantly trying to put me down. Obviously her sabotage never worked and she is now in a full body cast, probably in a lot of pain, at a hospital in Southern Russia. She tripped down the stairs one day and almost died.
"Weren't you a model too?" they were getting excited now; a slightly famous person moves to their quiet little town and the completely freak out and act like they've never seen the light of day. Clamors broke out and people rushed towards me, completely oblivious to the bell that was about to ring in less than one minute. Luckily Edward and I were right outside of the Calculus room so we quickly dashed into the room and into our seats right as the bell rang, beginning the day.
I let out a sigh of relief, class was beginning and we were falling into the regular routine of the last week and a half of the school year, where people spoke of graduation and plans for the summer. Edward and I simply sat at our table and played with each others fingers, hardly paying attention to the beginning lesson, completely pointless since the year was nearly over and everyone but me and Eric were graduating. Eric, who was sitting at the front of the room listening intently, was going to be a senior next year anyway though.
The period was soon over, Edward and I spending the entire time writing what we loved about each other, getting over 200 each, and we moved on to our next class. That class went by equally fast, Edward and I having spent that period drawing cartoons with purple, green, pink, and orange highlighters of the two of us as stick figures, the contents making silly stories with little speech bubbles coming out of our heads.
It wasn't until lunch that anything totally out of the norm happened. The kind of thing that would have been on the front page of any newspaper for weeks in any city, state, or country. The type of thing that would make humans sick to their stomachs, even if they claimed to be able to stand the most gruesome sight or smell they encountered.
Red. That was the new color of the previously white walls, linoleum floors, clear glass windows, hell even the ceiling was covered with the thick scarlet, the delicious scent wafting through the room. There were no heartbeats heard, not even a faint thrumming or a flicker of blood pumping through a living being's veins. The only moving things in there were blood dripping in steady puddles with an echoing drip drip as the trickled down every visible surface.
On the sticky red floor were hundreds of smooth white pebbles, some in small piles and others strewn about like they had been tossed in the air and left to scatter. I realized, with a jolt, they were the torn out teeth of every once living human in the room.
There was more movement at the edge of my vision so I slowly turned my head, this movement quick, ragged, and jerky, nothing like the slowly coagulating blood that dripped. This movement was caused by the vilest, most horrendous creature I had ever laid my eyes on.
Its entire body dark blue body was covered with a shiny black fluid that was easily recognized as blood and it wore no clothes so I could see the traditional markings of a hunter cut deep into it's skin. Along with the markings were lacerations that oozed with infection and disease and crawled with maggots. There were dark black horns that extended out of its forehead and curved upward like a deformed bull.
In its hands where the long pencil thin and skinless fingers ended with lethal looking four inch nails was a damaged blonde haired head I recognized immediately as Lauren Mallory's.
It had just torn it from her shoulders, which was what had caused the movement that caught my eye, and now had a silver dagger and was digging her flat fishy gray eyes out of her skull, savagely cutting at the flesh. There was a ripping sound when it took the eyeball in between its fingers and tore it from her socket and then popping it in the black tongued hole that might have been a mouth, like it was popcorn.
It chewed noisily, the sound wet like someone eating a too chewy and moist piece of meat. I was revolted as I looked around and recognized several mangled bodies whether my acquaintance with them was either from having classes with them or just passing them in the hallway. Jessica, who I had been taunting playfully mere hours ago, was now lying broken and bloodied on a round lunch table, all of her limbs sticking out of her sliced open midsection that spilled out her organs that looked as though the creature had shoved its clawed hand in them and then twisted violently.
Her head was the centerpiece of the twisted sculpture.
Jeremy was on the floor with all of his clothes off so that I could see how his most private of parts had been savagely torn off by hand it looked and then been shoved, tip first, down his throat. His balls replaced his eyes and his eyes replaced where the testicles had once been, the blue orbs sewed on to hold them. I was seeing more and more, thankfully none of them my friends when I heard a whooshing sound and a rustle of clothing then a satisfied sigh.
I turned around to find the owner of that self-satisfied sigh of someone who had just completed a long and complicated task and was finally taking a well deserved break. When I turned around I immediately sank into a deep crouch with one leg bent at the knee in front of me and the other stretched out straight in the behind.
A savage and guttural roar was building low in my throat and my lip was curled up over my gums, showing strong white teeth capable of slicing through diamonds. Edward mimicked my stance and our wings had soon been unfurled quickly, shredding our shirts, leaving me in my lacy black bra and Edward's chest bare.
"Ah Isabella, I have a message for you!" he rasped out thickly, the words not smooth like they should have been but rough and distorted. He looked offended at our hostility and got a smile on his face, pleasant and happy, like we were having a picnic instead of getting ready to go into full battle mode and attempt to annihilate each other.
He no longer was covered by rotting blue skin or had horns extending from his forehead. Now his hair was worn slightly long for someone of the twenty first century and shone a dull brown. On his pale white body was a simple collared black button up shirt and loose white slacks that showed off a figure that would have been adored had he been human.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded, bracing the tips of my fingers against the floor, the cooling blood painting them. He laughed and bared his teeth, showing long yellow teeth coated with blood, pieces of human flesh caught in between the wolf-like teeth. He picked up a heart that had been torn out of someone's chest and sand his filthy teeth into it, making grunting sounds as he ripped off a chunk of it and chewed noisily and then swallowed with a gulp.
He discarded the heart over his shoulder and wiped his bloody mouth on his left sleeve, and continuing in his rough gravelly voice that held a faint trace of a lilting French accent, "Do you honestly think I would let you, my youngest daughter, stay away from me? I'm glad you never lost your sense of humor, I think you got that from me."
