AN: Ok, I realized that I wasn't specific about when this story happens. It is after Bella is no longer grounded for the whole motorcycle thing/
Ok, now what? Looking back at the cliff I knew exactly the answer to my question.
After going off the cliff plenty of time, I decided that I should get going, before either Jacob or Victoria came back.
I arrived at the Cullen's house a little before sunset. Not to my surprise, Bella was there. In fact she was the one who answered the door. She grinned at me her eyes lost on my perfect face.
"Hi," I said.
"Hey,"
"Um, what's up?" I laughed to myself I found it so funny the way the people in this era talked. To me, it was funnier when I actually used their talk.
Bella bit her lip, "Well, actually I was wondering something."
"And that would be?"
"If you told my dad, about you guys." She saw my eyes widen, "Don't worry she assured I already had Alice to agree to do so. We just need to get out of here before Edward comes back from hunting."
I shook my head my slightly damp honey hair lightly tapping on my cheeks, knowing that the action must had been extremely sexy, "Why do you want me helping you with this?"
Again she bit her lip little by little tearing the skin, her blood getting closer to the surface. "Well, for some odd and unexplainable reason…I want you to change me."
My face contorted into fear. Before either of us could react, Alice grabbed us both by the wrists and dragged us out of the house. "We need to go now," she hissed. "I already wrote a note to Edward," Alice grinned. "He definitely won't bother us."
Alice hopped in my Porsche Cayenne. "Do you mind if I drive?" She mused putting on doe eyes. I shook my head its not like I knew where Bella lived anyway.
Happily Alice clapped as she scooted to the driver's seat. Sitting in the passenger I looked back at Bella.
"Why on earth do you want me to change you?" I inquired.
"I figured that you're blessed right? And Edward's afraid that when you change you loose your soul. So I figured if you did it…he might not be too bothered."
I bit down on my full lip. "It might sound crazy, but I think he'll buy it," Alice beautifully chirped in.
"But he thinks I'm with the Volturi…"
"Uh ah, not anymore, I got a vision of the Volturi sending people, and finding Bella human."
Bella grimaced. I put my cold hand on her arm. "We won't let that happen," I assured her, hoping that my fear didn't shine through my eyes.
"Just one problem," I sighed. "I don't know how to control myself."
Unfazed, Bella explained, "We wouldn't do it until Friday night; you have time to prepare yourself. And Alice will be there to restrain you incase you loose control."
I nodded, "Good plan, but what if Edward finds out?" Jerking my head at Alice might end up giving it away.
She lightly hit me. "We thought of that. Can you teach me how to put up a mind block?" I nodded. It wouldn't be too hard for her. I was sure of it. "Good," Alice smiled.
Then she pulled over to the side. "Here Bells, you need to drive," We readjusted ourselves. Now, Alice and I were sitting in the back, and Bella was driving.
"Ok," I said. "You only have to do this part once, after that you only have to pull it up like a mental blind," I said in an eerily calm voice. "What you need to do, is pull yourself as far back into your mind as possible, so that you are only aware of the very center of your thoughts. It might be a little disturbing at first, so just wait until you are accustomed to the place. Then you have to roll up your thoughts tightly and then let go of the roll. Before you come back, there will be a flash of white and red. That means it worked," I finished the instructions in one breath, but my voice wasn't the least bit strained.
Alice nodded slowly, then closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. After a few moments, she wasn't even breathing. I turned to Bella with a smile.
"What?" she asked a little confused.
"I'm just, it's hard to explain. It's like being happy, shocked, honored, scared, worried, and interested all at the same time."
"Yeah that sounds hard to explain." Her brown eyes flashed lightly.
After a few moments of silence I decided to tell Bella about my encounter with Jacob. "Um…so today I went to La Push." As soon as I said this I heard her heart slow and skip. "I went cliff diving." She shook her head.
"I already see where this is going, but continue."
Wow, she obviously knew Jacob pretty well. "So, Jacob and his gang were there."
"They aren't a gang," she said coldly.
"Oh yeah sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Anyway, after getting out of the water after my first dive, they were all standing there waiting for me." I swallowed and shuddered. "I tried to ignore them, but someone called me a bloodsucker. Then they threatened to kill me…" Through the mirror I saw her eyes fill with fear.
"Jacob," she gasped. "He wouldn't…but he could…"
"I had to mention you. Alice told me everything last night. So Jacob talked to me alone. He really misses you," I said sadly. Already Bella was crying. "He said that he'd been having dreams about me." I conveniently left out the context of the dreams. "Then a vampire showed up, her name was Victoria." This time, Bella's heart rate increased rapidly.
"He and the others chased after her, but I don't know what happened. All that I know is that you are coming with me to the cliffs tomorrow, you'll have to skip."
"I will," she choked as she pulled into I'm guessing her driveway. Bella stopped the car and cried on the steering wheel.
We sat there for a while, the only noise were Bella's heart-wrenching sobs. Then Alice snapped into consciousness. Her perfect face confused. She pointed to Bella I shook my head. "Later" I whispered so Bella didn't here. Alice nodded.
"Bella it's time to go in ok?" Alice cooed. Bella lifted her head and nodded. I found a towel in the car, and cleaned her up a little, so she would look presentable.
