2.Meeting

Next morning I was distracted all through band. The fist of justice had saved me from a terrible predicament and yet, I hadn't repaid him. Personally, I didn't care if he wanted to receive payment for saving me or not. It was going to happen.

Strangely enough, for the next two days he wasn't at school. Over these two days, my dreams were plagued with Edwards and Bella's voices. "She's different," they said, "I wish I knew what he was thinking."

By Thursday, my hero had returned as beautiful as ever. The moment he walked into the room, I noticed his eyes were a brighter color. They went from being a deep purple to almost amethyst. After lunch, Bella and I walked to Calc where a phenomenon occurred--Jasper spoke. Not only did he speak, he spoke to me.

"Hello," he said in a voice as melodious as Edward's, "Sorry for running off the other day. I should have made sure you went too shaken to drive home."

"Uh…" my dumbfounded-ness spoke for me, "I…uh…yeah." I knew I wasn't only rambling, but blushing now. What an idiot I am.

"No you're not. I find it quite fascinating that you are in Calc as a junior much like me. Here I thought I was the only one."

Something struck me as weird. Did he just answer my thoughts? I decided to answer this theory with my own question. "Sorry, I just had a brain lapse, what did I just say?"

Jasper looked at me puzzled, "You just said 'what an idiot I am' and I replied 'no you're not.' It's been a long day I take it?"

"Yeah… I guess you could say that." I mumbled looking upward.

The next to days went well too. Jasper kept talking to me and Bella slowly became a friend. On the other hand, Edward and I weren't compatible friends. We were pure enemies. Everyday I shared the pleasure of at least ten arguments with Edward. Today's topic happened to be evolution.

"No, evolution is possible Ed." I challenged as we compared our essay questions in English, "How else would monkeys and humans be so alike?"

As Edward glared at me his amber eyes glowered with murder, "I told you not to call me that. Plus, evolution doesn't happen. Everyone knows that."

"Whatever, you just don't want to admit defeat." I jeered starting up another strain of arguing. After school, Bella asked if I'd like to go with her into Port Angelus. I promptly agreed and said my goodbye to her, ignoring Edward altogether. Forks stayed so dreary with all the rain. Being somewhere more cheery would cheer me back up to chipper level.

After dinner, I had gone outside for an evening stroll. Although I had my headphones on, I could hear the soft calling of the whip-poor-will somewhere in the woods. The air smelled of autumn and the leaves were beginning to turn-- it was almost my favorite time of the year. Once again, my senses deceived me. The night caused my light sensitive eyes no problem, only everything took a bright but eerie shadow. As I rounded the corner, a silhouette stood out under a street lamp. All that one could see of the mysterious person was a bright smile and a briefcase.

"I've been waiting for you." The shadow said softly in a female voice.

"What do you mean…waiting?" I asked rolling up my sleeves haps in case I had to fight. I was a good three yards away, but I stood still nevertheless, waiting for the woman's next move.

"You see," the Shadow explained curling a hand under her chin, "I've been waiting for an assistant and you have won that position." I looked at her perplexed. What did it mean? Was I supposed to do something for this woman I didn't know? "How rude of me," the shadow started back in, "I forgot to mention my name."

Dramatically she stepped from the shadows revealing a slim body, a long golden braid and the most peculiar outfit. It resembled riding clothes of the sixteenth century, although it had far too many gadgets strapped to it to tell.

"My name is Mistrel Evermore. Vanquisher of all evils and protector of all."

It was on that evening I became a slayer. Although I thought vampires, werewolves, pixies and curses were all fake, I now was carrying a large bag filled to the brim with painful and heavy weapons. When I returned home, I hastily shoved them into a closet and hoped for the best. I could hear mumbling and followed it into the kitchen. There at my kitchen table were Bella and Edward talking to Danny. This little scene had to be the worst thing that had happened tonight. Here I was in a house filled with friends, an older brother, and weapons. How was I going to get myself out of this mess?

"Hi Amber! Glad you are back. Your brother is a great host." Bella greeted as she picked apart a left over taquito. To my advantage, Edward avoided talking to me at all costs. This should be an easy conversation as long as he didn't butt in.

"So…what bring you here to my humble abode?" I asked curiously. I could feel my palms sweating and my nerves snapping one by one. If only I could somehow reach the coat closet…

"We just need to have a chit-chat." Bella started in with a smile. Crap, they know something I don't or they know about the weapons. Great. I thought with a cringe. Edward put his hand under his chin and turned to face Bella.

"About…what?" I continued to interrogate as I fell into a seat across from Bella.

"Edward will be driving us this weekend. He'll follow us around and make sure we're ok but he promises he won't bother us. Right?" She turned to Edward who gave a slight nod and the glared at me. Stupid Ed. He knew that would piss me off.

I turned my gaze to Edward now, "Is that so Ed-Boy?"

"I thought I told you to quit calling me Ed," he said through clenched teeth, "Two syllables. Ed-WARD. Not Ed. And yes, I will be joining you whether you like it or not. I don't trust two airheads together in a mall alone."

After yet another fervent argument, the pair left and finally I could move my slaying materials properly. Slowly, I headed up to my room and shoved the weapons under my bed. I finished my usual routine with a shower and headed to bed.

I stared at the ceiling for some amount of time humming my favorite song. My predicament didn't look up either way, so I guessed I'd have to join Mistrel on her quest to defeat evils, decline and lead a life of boredom, or even better yet, none of the above. As I pondered, I became sleepy. In the final moment before I fell into sleep I swore I could see someone in my room other than Danny. However, I was too exhausted and fell into a comfortable, dreamless sleep.
