Chapter 3: Pay Back
Bella's POV
As lunch time came, I walked into the lunch room and put my stuff at my usual table. I looked around and sensed that there were other vampires in the cafeteria but I didn't care. I saw Matt walking to the wrong side of the cafeteria with his food and I sighed. Matt could be so stupid sometimes.
I was about to say something when I saw Raven come in. I looked over at her and then I looked at her moronic husband. She followed my gaze and laughed. "Are you really that stupid that you don't know where we sit after coming her for more that thirty years? I knew it was ok for her to say that since the only other people in the room were the other family of vampires.
Raven looked at my and I nodded. We walked over to Matt and in the process of doing that, I accidentally uncovered my sent and it filled out. This was a very bad thing because when that happened, we were walking by the other vampire family.
Raven and I had finally retrieved Matt and were walking back to our table when the whole Cullen family was in front of us. As if my family knew what was happening, they came in and locked the cafeteria door so no one could get in and they all can beside me.
"Bella, qui l'enfer sont ces personnes et pourquoi regardent-elles fixement vous vous aiment-elles juste sont-elles revenues de la tombe?" Angel asked glaring at the Cullens. I looked at her and pushed her back behind Matt but she was so stubborn that she stood right in front of me and looked at Rosalie who looked at me.
"Ce n'est aucune heure d'être un séjour de reine de drame derrière moi et séjour hors de ceci !" I said back in French. I looked at her and she stepped back behind me.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Raven snapped. I snapped my head at her and she backed off.
"What do you want?" I asked just as harsh as Raven was. The Cullens looked surprised that I would treat them like this.
"Bella…" Edward started, but the Adam can out from behind Matt and kicked Edward right in the knee. Edward was hurt because he was not expecting a 13 year old to kick him.
I laughed at the site of his face and he stared at me. "Bella, please forgive me." Edward grabbed my hand only to be yelled at by Angel.
"Don't you dare touch my sister! Vous n'avez aucun droit de venir à notre école et de ruiner nos vies. Je ne vous aime pas ainsi vous pouvez aller à l'enfer et brûler là pour le reste de votre vie."
"Est-ce qu'ange, pourquoi l'enfer c'était pour ? Vous n'avez eu aucun droit de dire cela. Merci, I vous possèdent grand temps." I said looking at her.
I still stared at her wide eyed. Never in my life have I ever heard her curse at someone. I looked at the rest of my family and they were just as surprised. I looked back to the Cullens to find that they had a very confused looked on their faces. "She doesn't like you and she said that you need to leave me alone." I lied.
Angel looked at me in disbelief. I laughed and then I pushed passed The Cullens and went to unlock the door. After the cafeteria was filled with hungry students, me and my family ran to Raven's car. We all got in and saw that the Cullens were following us.
My favorite song came on because Raven and Angel had made me a mixed C.D. of my favorite songs by my favorite bands. This song was 'Angels' by Within Temptation.
Sparkling angel, I believed
You
are my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't
hear
all the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels;
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No
mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember
the smile
when you tore me apart.
You
took my heart,
deceived me right from the start.
You showed me
dreams;
I wished they turn into real.
You broke a promise and
made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Sparkling angel, I
couldn't see
your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen
angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I
see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape
now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember
The
smile when you tore me apart
You
took my heart,
deceived me right from the start.
You showed me
dreams;
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise
and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could
have been forever
now we have reached the end.
This world
may have failed you;
it doesn't give you a reason why.
You
could have chosen a different path in life.
The smile when you
tore me apart.
You
took my heart,
deceived me right from the start.
You showed me
dreams;
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise
and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could
have been forever
now we have reached the end.
Alan looked at me and smiled as he sang the next song with me.
The world seems not
the same
Though I know nothing has changed
It's all my state
of mind
I can't leave it all behind
Have to stand up to be
stronger
Chorus
Have to try
To break free
From
the thoughts in my mind
Use the time that I have
I can say
goodbye
Have to make it right
Have to fight
Cause I
know in the end it's worth while
That the pain that I feel slowly
fades away
It will be alright
I know
I should realize
Time is precious
It is worth while
Despite how I feel
inside
Have to trust it'll be alright
Have to stand up to be
stronger
Chorus
This night is too long
Have no
strength to go on
No more pain I'm floating away
Through
the mist see a face
Of an angel who calls my name
I remember
you're the reason I have to stay
Chorus
I smiled at him and felt a lot better that I was happy enough to sing my favorite song on the whole C.D. I got ready to sing while Rave put the top down and cranked up the volume.
It waits for the
day
I will let it out
to give it a reason
to give it its
might
I fear who I am
becoming
I fear that I'm losing
the struggle within
I can no longer
restrain it
my strength it is fading
I have to give in
Chorus
(It's the fear)
Fear of the
darkness
growing inside of me
That on day will
come to life
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
There is no
escaping
Cause my faith is horror and doom
Hold down your
head now
Just let me pass by
Don't feed my fear
If you
don't want it out
I fear who I am becoming
I fear that
I'm losing
All beauty within
I can no longer restrain it
My
strength it is fading
I have to give in
Chorus
Long
ago it came to me
and ever since that day
Infected with it's
rage
But it ends today
Chorus
By the time the song was over, we were all just sitting in the car in front of our house. I was so happy to be with my family, that I didn't notice that everyone was stiff. I looked around and saw the problem. Edward was still on the porch waiting for me. I knew I had to talk to him, but I just couldn't. I took a deep breath and told everyone to wait in the car.
I got out and walked over to Edward. He got up and smiled at me. I gave a small smile back and sat down. There was a long silence before anyone spoke. I needed to know something and I needed to know now. "Edward, why did you leave me?" I asked looking at the ground.
"Bella, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was scared. I knew you wanted me to change you, but I didn't know if I would lose control and kill you so I ran. I told everyone that I had killed a human and that we had to move or everyone one would kill us.
They believed me so we left that morning. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have left you." He said looking at me. "Bella, do you still love me?" he asked looking into my eyes which were now blue from concentrating on rain.
I sent a quick thought to Rave and waited for a few before I answered.
Raven's POV
Bella was singing along with her favorite song called The Fear by Within Temptation when we reached the house. I let her finish the song before I turned off the engine. I looked up and saw the guy named Edward sitting on our porch. I heard Bella gasp then take in a deep breath. "Stay in the car." She ordered us all.
"Comme l'enfer! Il n'y a aucune manière que je vais me reposer ici et vous laisse lui parler." Angel said unbuckling her seat beat. I glared at her and she sat back down pouting.
We all nodded and watched as she got out of the car and walked over to Edward. I could hear them talking and I could see that if Bella could have cried, she would have been in tears right now. Then I saw Edward ask her a question, then Bella looked at me.
Take them somewhere away right now. I will tell you when you can come back ok? I heard Bella ask in thought to me. I nodded knowing she could see me and pulled out of the driveway. Alan was complaining so much that I had to tell him thousands of time that Bella knew what she was doing. I could only hope she did.
Bella's POV
As soon as Raven had taken my family away, I knew I could talk to Edward as Bella, not and Bella with her husband. I looked up at Edward and I could tell that if I could have cried, I would have lost control and cried all night and all day tomorrow with how much sadness was inside me.
Edward asked the question again but this time he was in front of me. "Bella, do you still love me?" he asked. Took in a deep breath and nodded. "But, Edward, I can't be with you right now. I can't just leave Raven, Matt, Adam, and Angel. They're my life and my family. I need them to be with me." I said. My whole body shook with tearless sobs at what I was doing to Raven and Matt and more importantly, at what I was doing to Alan. Alan had loved me so much that I hurt me to tell Edward that I still loved him.
I looked up to see Edward giving me that crocked smiled that he knew calmed me down. I smiled and before I knew what I was doing, I leaned in and kiss Edward with all the passion I had bottled up from when I had to be careful about how I was around Edward. Now I was kissing him freely and forcefully.
After what seemed like ten minutes, I felt Edward being torn away from me. I looked up startled to see Alan punching Edward over and over and over again. I got up and ran to help Edward and as a result, I was smacked across the face by Alan. The only person I had ever married just smacked me. Matt, Raven, Adam, and Angel joined in the fight, but not on Alan's side. They were on Edwards's side with me. There were originally five in the coven. Raven, Matt, Adam, Angel and I then Raven found Alan and we turned him. Now that he had smacked me, they were fighting against him. I knew they never really liked him, but they did put with him for me. With the six of us against Alan, he soon ran into the woods.
I helped Edward up and brought him over to Rave's car. Raven hoped in the front and I sat with Edward in the back while Rave drove to Edward's house. As soon as we were at the house, I helped Edward out of the car and ran over to the door. I banged really hard to make sure I was heard and in mere seconds, the whole Cullen family was at the door.
They all grabbed Edward and laid him on one of the many couches they had. I knelt by Edward making sure he was ok when I looked up and saw the whole Cullen family staring at Matt, Raven, Adam, Angel and I.
"Ce qu'êtes vous regardant fixement tout. Que n'avez-vous jamais vu un vampire avant ? Si pas alors je devine vous n'avez pas regardé dans le miroir! " Angel snapped.
I glared at her and she looked away. I sighed and looked over at Raven.
I took a deep breath and looked at everyone. I sent a quick message to Raven and waited for her reply. Do you want to be apart of this family? I asked through thought. I saw her whisper to Matt and the rest of the family in a low voice so no one could hear them, then Rave nodded.
"Esme, Carlisle, the five of us were wondering if, well, if maybe we could join your family." I said looking at the ground feeling slightly embarrassed. I heard Esme's voice as she walked over to me. "Bella, of course you can. We all still love you and we would be happy to have your friends join too." She said.
I looked up and smiled. She was so kind and sweet that I almost forgot all about Edward, that is, until he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. I smiled at him and he gave me a kiss that let me know that I was more than welcome with him.
I looked up at Raven and Matt, and then smiled. "So, Bella, are you going to introduce everyone or not?" Rave said. I gave her a big hug. She was the only one who really understood me. That is, besides Angel.
"Raven, Matt, Adam, Angel," I started looking sternly at Angel as I said her name. "This is Esme, Alice, Rosalie, Carlisle, Edward, Jasper, and Emmet. Everyone, this is Raven, Matt, Adam, and the French one is Angel." I looked over at Raven and Matt and said, "Esme and Carlisle are married, Alice and Jasper are married, and Rosalie and Emmet are married." I said. Smiling as I remembered how weird it was to learn this after you just found out that they were all family.
"Well, Bella, we will be graduating soon so you know what that means!" Matt said excitedly. I sighed and nodded. "Yes, I know. It is the worst time of year in my opinion." I said joking. Raven laughed with me but Matt just glared.
"Bella, what is so funny?" Alice asked. I smiled at her remembering how close we had gotten. "Raven and Matt get married every time Matt graduates. And that is like every year." I said patting Matt on the back.
Edward was now sitting up and I had been moved to his lap. It was so easy to forget that he had left me at all until I remembered Alan who would stop at nothing to get me back. I knew he would, because that is how it was when Raven, Matt, Adam, Angel and I tried to run away from him as a joke when we were hunting and he knocked down the whole section of the forest we were in just to find us.
I knew that as long as I was with Edward, there was a good chance he was going to get hurt again. I couldn't let that happen. We were back together and I wasn't going to let anything happen to him or his family. Of course, Rave read my thoughts and Edward read the thoughts she got from me, soon he knew and looked at me.
"Bella, don't worry about us. We will be fine; nothing is going to happen to us." Edward said holding my hand for support. "But you don't know Alan like we do. He could easily kill you and I can't let that happen. I love you to much." I said looking at our hands that were lying on my lap.
"Bella, if he wants to take you away, he will have to get through us first." I heard the last person I ever thought I would hear talking to me say. I looked up and Rosalie smiled at me. I smiled back and she ran over and gave me a big hug. I was so happy she was finally being nice to me.
"Bella, Rosalie is right. No one is ever going to take you away while we're here." Alice said joining in the hug. When we broke away, Alice said, "Oh, Bella, now that your back, Rose and I want to take you, Angel, and Raven shopping." I sighed. Raven was as bad as Alice. She thought she always had to by something for me.
I looked over at Raven who was so happy; she would kill me if I said no. I looked back at Alice and Rosalie and nodded. They looked so happy and I felt instantly at home. I knew part of that was from Jasper, the other part was from Edward since he was running kisses all around my face.
I was so happy to be here with him, that I forgot all about Alan for that one long kiss that Edward and I shared. When we broke away, Alice and Rosalie forced Raven, Angel and me to go to Edward's room to change our clothes. Alice must have seen me coming back because the whole closet was full of my clothes. I shook my head and smiled at the sight.
Raven pick out an all black outfit and fixed her makeup. I put on a deep red shirt and a long leather skirt. Angel put on a hot outfit that had a strapless top and a very short skirt. Raven and Rosalie did my hair while Alice did my makeup. When we were ready to go, I gave Edward one last kiss, and then we were out the door and in Raven's car. Rosalie and Alice wanted to relax and I didn't have a car, so Raven was the only choice.
As soon as we were in, Raven cranked up the volume and told me to sing. The C.D. was a Nightwish C.D. and Raven knew I loved them too. The song was 'Bless the Child'. So, just so I didn't upset Rave, I sang the verses while Raven and Angel sang with me on the choruses.
Bella
"I was born amidst the purple waterfalls.
I was weak, yet not unblessed.
Dead to the world alive for the journey.
One night I dreamt a white rose withering,
A newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness.
I dreamt all my future. Relived my past.
I witnessed the
beauty of the beast"
Where have all the feelings gone?
Why has all the
laughter ceased?
Rave, Angel, and Bella
Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child
one more time
Bella
How can I ever feel again?
Given the chance
would I return?
I've never felt so alone in my life
As I drank from a cup which was counting my time
There's a poison drop in this cup of Man
To drink it is to
follow the left hand path
"Where have all the feelings gone?
Why is the deadliest sin - to love as I loved you?
Now unblessed, homesick in time,
Soon to be freed from care, from human pain.
My tale is the most bitter truth:
Time pays us but with earth & dust, and a dark, silent grave.
Remember, my child: Without innocence the cross is only iron,
Hope is only an illusion & Ocean Soul's nothing but a name...
The Child bless thee & keep thee forever"
When I was done Alice and Rosalie were shocked. Then I remember they had never heard me sing before. "Bella, sing the next song! We love your singing." Rosalie said. I nodded and waited for the next song. The name of the song was 'End of All Hope'
(Chorus) Bella, Angel, and Raven
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth
Bella
No we are too weak for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow
Angels, they
fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my
masterpiece will finally be sung
Chorus
(Bella, Angel, and Raven)
Bella
Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug
Chorus (Bella,
Angel, and Raven)
Bella
Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time
The rest is silence
Repeat
Chorus (Bella, Angel, and Raven)
Alice, Rosalie, Angel, and Raven clapped for me. Right then I felt really embarrassed. If I were still human, I would have been scarlet red and getting redder. But luckily I was not human anymore so I didn't have to worry.
The next song came on and I sang along to that too, but I made sure no one could hear me. "Bella, who is this? The lead singer has a great voice. Not as good as your voice, you should really sing for Edward. I bet he would die if he heard you." Alice said.
"Well, this is Nightwish, and no I'm not going to sing for Edward. I would be too embarrassed to do that. And if I'm not mistaken, I think he's already dead!" I said smiling at Alice.
"Smart-ass!" she said to me. I just laughed and so did everyone else in the car. Finally we were at the mall in Seattle. I didn't even know we drove that far. Every time I sing, Rave likes to drive slowly so I can finish the song. I still hate her for that.
The first place we went to was the last place I wanted to go in. "Can I wait out here?" I asked Alice and her and Rosalie shook their heads. "Come on guys, you know I hate this place. Are you trying to torture me?" I asked being sarcastic, but of course, they nodded. I sigh as I got dragged into Victoria's Secret. I made a mental note to 1) not buy anything and 2) kill Alice and Rosalie and Raven and Angel for bringing me in here.
Alice picked out a lot of bras and stuff for me, but I refused to try anything on. So as my punishment for doing that, Alice bought all the bras and other stuff for me since she knew my size. I was really going to kill her for that. When we were done in there, I was forced to go into a clothing store. The scene in front of me was hilarious!
Alice was picking out dresses, Raven was picking out tops, and Rosalie was picking out bottoms and Angel was picking out shoes. The reason it was so funny was because they was fighting over which top would go better with what bottom and that the dresses that Alice picked out were not going to look good on me and that the shoes were to casual. It went on like that until I was forced to try on at least 15 dresses, 50 tops and 25 bottoms and over 100 pairs of shoes. After I was done and it was time to buy, I had Alice bought me 8 dresses, Raven bought me 30 tops, Rosalie bought me 15 bottoms and Angel bought me 60 pairs of shoes. Raven and Angel always loved to spoil me so they always bought the most.
I would have to come up with something for pay back for what they are doing to me.
