Book 3 – Chapter 4: Visions
Edward, Alice and Jasper returned, good news is that as planned, Charlie agreed to let me move. I would stay in Edward's bedroom. The great news is that Charlie gave us his blessing, and Renee and Phil were piled in wedding plans. The party went as expected, it was ok, I stayed with Edward the whole time. Until Alice saw something.
"Bella you know the intruder in your room? There's an army of vampires coming to Forks, four days is all we would have." Alice says and I sighed.
"How many?"
"Twenty, numbers are slowly decreasing" Alice says.
"We won't have enough numbers"
"The wolves!" I say and everyone turns to me. "Hey! They'll be happy at least. They just want to kill some vampires at least. It's a win if we have them. Or the Denali clan could come down" I say and Edward nods in approval.
"Sure…you'd be able to contact Jacob Black by any chance?" Emmett asks me with a grin on his face. I knew he just wanted the same as the wolves, and a bit of fun. "Bella could ask them tonight. Tell them to meet us at the baseball field in the woods, ten miles from forks to the east at midnight" Emmett says and I nod as Edward and I take our hands in each other's and drive away.
We drove in silence until we hit the reservation, and drove to the Black household. "Bella" I heard Jake yell from across the house, I grinned as I knocked on the door and saw Jake with Embry and Quil tail behind him. "Hey, what brings you two here?" he asks, directing his eyes to Edward standing protectively behind me with his hands on my waist.
"We need your help. Assemble your pack or however it goes. Are you in to kill some vampires?" I ask him and he grins. Then a frown places in his lips.
"What do you mean? Did someone break the treaty?" Jacob asks and I shake my head.
"There's an army of newborns coming towards Forks. We don't know why but they'll be here in four days" I say and he frowns. "Not our type. Their meat eaters" I say and Quil laughs.
"Like your wording for the blood suckers" he says and I shake my head.
"Thanks…in a weird way" I say and Edward laughs. "So yeah, they're coming. We don't have enough numbers but we were wondering if you guys would take the enjoying of slaughtering some newborn vampires with us?" I ask him and Jacob grins.
"In, Quil, can you alert the others? What time and where?" he asks me and I smile.
"Meet us at the baseball field in the woods, ten miles from forks to the east at midnight" I recite and Jacob grins. "You should be able to follow our scent" I say and he nods as we start to leave.
"I have the temptation to break your jaw for kissing Bella…but I know it will make her unhappy so you're lucky pup." He says and I frown and look at him.
"Yeah well I'm pretty sure I heard a crack in my ribs. All fine now though" Jacob says before he smiles at me.
"You know I don't feel that way for you, you're like a brother" I say and he nods.
"Good enough for me, run along with your fiancée. See you in three hours." He says as he runs off towards the woods. We drive away and once I get home, I start to pack my bags, but all the stuff I would take was gone.
"Huh… Alice" I say and Edward laughs. We trace my hand over the covers of my sheets and I turn to him as I sit on the bed. "I don't think the army is a coincidence. I think it all weaves together like a piece of knitting." I say and he laughs at my bad example. "Victoria, The intruder, missing things with my scent, then the army. It's all her" I say and he frowns. "Victoria wants to kill me. A mate for a mate. A trade-off" I say and he frowns.
"But Alice is watching Victoria, she would have seen her decide" he says and I shake my head.
"She wouldn't because of her blind spots. Snap decisions" I say and Edward frowns. "She's been watching Seattle right?" I ask him and he nods. "So she's been using the intruder to get through Alice's visions, so they decided that, while they were in Seattle, they would come to Forks to destroy me… It's the only logical reason" I say and he frowns and hugs me so fast that I would have seen it coming, except I didn't, and his lips crushed mine. His lips were eager and the sensation was overwhelming as his scent filled my lungs and his lips made my whole body tingle in sensation. Then, he moved us to the bed, where he laid over top of me. The whole sensation made me forget everything, even Charlie who was, in fact, downstairs as we kissed on my bed, completely oblivious to what was happening under his very roof.
Edward moaned softly and I guessed the drug like addiction was in him too, at least I wasn't the only one. He started taking his shirt off, and that's when it clicked. "Edward" I say calmly but he didn't listen to me. Oh never mind one part of my mind said as he kissed me. Bella, you know he's a man of his word. The more logical and not effected by everything said to me, I snapped. "Edward" I say loudly as his lips trailed down my neck. "Stop" I said and he continued. "Please" I say calmly and he groaned before shrugging his shirt back on in a flash. "Not now" I say in a soft voice and he sighs.
"Tell me why, give me a list to remember" he says and I smile, my brain was already ahead.
"One: I do want to have sex with you, but only if I marry you first. Two: not while Charlie or Renee or Phil or any of our family is around, it wouldn't be nice if they walked in on us. Three: I don't want to now, trust me I want you so bad, but not out of the fact that you could lose me in four days. We will be together for all eternity. Ok! And Fourthly: I just want to save it all for the honeymoon because Charlie would not be impressed if we tore the house down to rubble." I say and he groans with a grin.
"You, my Bella are a fair woman to your word" he says and I grin as I lay on his back. He kisses me quickly. "We are going to have one Heck of a honeymoon. We might actually be worse than Rose and Emm for once" he says and I laugh.
"Definitely worse. Ready to meet the wolves?" I ask him as Charlie turns the flat screen TV off and makes his way upstairs. "We're going now dad. See you well…hopefully soon" I say and he grins.
"It's going to be really empty when your mother leaves and Phil, but I'll just have to get used to it." He says with a shrug before hugging me. "Miss you Bells. Stay safe" he murmurs and I smile as I hug him back. "Bye" he says as we walk out. I step in the car and Edward squeezes my thigh and I have one last look at the house with a frown.
"It's practically a criminal offense, leaving him to fend for himself" I laugh and Edward smiles.
I was leaving Charlie alone, for his safety.
But something told me that it wouldn't matter
