Twilight and it's character were created by Stephanie Meyer.
Chapter 39: Another World?!
I closed my bedroom door behind me gently.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon. Did something happen?" I asked. John sat up and swung his legs off of my bed.
"Yes, I have gotten answers for what's been happening to you." He said. I looked at him surprised.
"Really? How?"
"It will be better if you would come with me first, i'll tell you about it as soon as I get you to my place. You'll be safer there." He said.
"What? Wait, since when was I going anywhere?" I asked. John looked down at me directly into my eyes.
"You said that you trust me." He said.
"I do."
"Do you?"
"I do." I said, then I sighed.
"Look you being here doesn't sit right with me, you're practically a sitting duck. Where as in my world you'll be protected." He said. Protected... i'm starting to feel a Twilight theme coming on. Wait, what did he just say?
"...Youre taking me to another world? Again?" I asked. Wasn't being put in this world already enough for my frigile human mind, when I realized I was in the Twilight world I lost it.
"Yes, my world." He said simply as if his answer was not completely inconceivable. I hoped that the expression on my face as I stared at him let him know that his answer basically sucked.
"And...why is there safer then here?" I asked. I know that it is better to listen to whatever he says but I my fear wasn't exactly letting me think logically.
"Well... I cant keep coming back here or stay to watch you, nore can I take you with me while trying to find whose haunting you." I sighed and he laid his hand on my shoulder. "I have to get you somewhere I know you'll be safe while I take care of our present situation."
"What about school, my family...Edward?" I asked.
"I created a world for you, you don't think that I can handle keeping those aspects of your life in order?" He sasked.
"Those are large aspects." I stated. But then I thought about how right he was. Everything that has happened, my parents getting back together, moving to washington, Twilight becoming real, and lastly Edward...being with me. "You're right."
"Jessica, everything is going to be alright, I promise. Are you ready?" He asked. Now?! I was so on edge a out the sudden mention of going to another world and someone tryong to kill me my hands were shaking.
"Ready? I just found out i'm leaving to another world again! I have to pack!" I went over to my dresser and started riffling through my clothing. "I need a travel hygine pack first, then socks, shirts, shoes, make up and some underwear- "
"Jessica, everything is taken care of, stop stalling. I need to get back soon." I guess I was caught, who could blame me? He's telling me that when I come with him i'll be without everyone and everything I know. "We could wait for another light wolf to come through a protel at you, or... you can help me help you get somewhere safe so I don't have to worry about rushing back here if something happens. And what if I can't save you in time? I could never forgive myself." John said honestly.
"Okay, okay what ever I can do to help finish this." I said, and if that involved me being taken away for awile I will just have to deal with this like the first time. John gave me a small smile.
"Good, I don't think it would've been good for our relationship if I kidnapped you." He said, and I gaped.
"Shut up." I laughed and he carressed my cheek.
"It's gonna be okay." He said and I visibly relaxed a bit.
"Okay." John then suddenly put his arm around my waist and his hand in the back of my head before he pulled me close to him.
"John?!" I said in suprise. What was he doing?
"No more time to waste let's go!" He said.
And just like that a blinding bright light caused me to suddenly close my eyes and put my face into johns chest.
"AH!" I shouted as a heavy wave of energy washed over me.
"And here we are." John said. I opened my eyes and they kept focusing in and out and the world kept turning. He must have noticed my uneasiness and held my head with his hand.
"Sorry, I tried to shield you from the majority of the energy wave. You equilibrim is just off so don't move until you think that you can stand without falling."
"Right..." I said. When the feeling subsided I held my head up.
"You should be alright now." John said. I unclenched my eyes and cautiously looked up at him then I looked around us.
"What..?" We definitely were not in my house any more. This looked like a modern bachelors apartment, everything was clean and stylish.
"That was quick..." I said looking around. "I can't believe you really took me again..." I said. The reality of how supernatural this all was hit me. Please don't freak out this is not your first rodeo...Breath in, breath out... I squeezed my shut eyes before opening them and looking around. Yes things seem normal here...somewhat. Then I saw something white and jellyfish like floating by the window. Shit. Why can't I ever just take my own advice? I stopped breathing and stared at the creature.
"It's fine..." He said casually I looked at him like he just grew a second head. I cannot handle this, life used to be simple, this is crazy!
"It's definitely not fine my parents are going to freak out when come to get me up for church tomorrow morning and i'm not in my bed! And let us not forget my vampire boyfriend will go ballistic when he finds out I disappeared without a trace!" I said in one breath.
"There isn't going to be any trouble with you parents and your boyfriend because i'll have you back before the sun even rises." He told me. I know that I was just panicking and I really just missed the very brief and quiet days before his girlfriend attacked me. "Stop freaking out. Nothing has even happened yet, if this is how you deal with simply crossing to another world how the hell do you deal with Edward being a vampire?"
"Honestly I put it to the back of my mind and ignore it." I admitted.
"Shame!"He said with a laugh.
"What do you expect from me? I was a run of the mill human when you met me. Oh god the room is spinning again." John put his hand of the side of my temple and the feeling subsided.
"Alright?" He asked nodding along with me.
"Yes, i'm sorry. I thought that I would have been over this by now. I'm alright." I said nodding my head and I sucked air through my nose.
"Don't sweat it the pressure from crossing might be still affecting you. But now have a seat where ever you want, mi casa es su casa. There is a burier around my house and yard no one but me can get in or out." He said. I went over to his huge gray sofa and sat down in front of a white marble fireplace.
"Even Lorelai?" I asked. He looked at me from the side of his eye.
"Even Lorelai... for the moment." He said.
"For the moment? What does that mean is she going to try to break in here?" I asked a little worried.
"No I invited her to come over." He said. I let a moment pass over us before I spoke again.
"Don't you think that it would be better if you were to work out your issues alone and without me present to get caught in the crossfire." I asked.
"We have, there has been a big misunderstanding and lot more has been going on then was previously thought." He said.
"Like what?" I asked. John came over and sat right beside me.
"Well for one thing I found out that the tears that are all over Forks belong to Richard." He said.
"...Oh Richard! Yes ofcourse!...Who the hell is Richard?" I asked.
"Aren't ypu feeling sarcastic today. To answer your question Richard is my older brother." He said. Older brother? I didn't expect that but then again when does anything I expect happen. I pulled my eyebrows together as I was a bit more interested.
"You have a older brother?"
"He has admitted plenty of times that I am his misfortune." It was strange to think of John as someone's younger sibling, he was the one that had all of the answers.
"What did he leave the tears around for? I mean why was he watching me?" I asked.
"I don't know but let's not speak anymore about it until Lorelai gets here. Maybe she'll shed some more light as for what has been going on." He said before he got up and started walking towards a hallway near the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" I asked getting up.
"Relax i'm just going to take a shower. I've been in the same clothes for two days." He said.
"What about-"
"Loreali cannot get in until I let her in. So don't worry okay?" He said.
"Okay." After he left I let the lower half of my body fall back onto his couch sighed. Relaxing should have came easily considering how comfortable the couch was but my mind circled around our present predicament.
I know that John has never hurt me before and he has always protected me but I worry about his judgement with Loreali, after all they are still lovers as far as I know. And also why did the tears around Forks lead to Johns brother Richard? What does he want from me?
Edward POV
I held the stag by the antlers as I ripped a piece of flesh out of it's neck then sunk my teeth in. Like those before it it's eyes were wide in surprise before it's life was ended prematurely. It wasn't as good as a mountain lion or a bear but food was food when it came to satisfying the burn in my throat. When I finished I dropped it to the ground and it slumped against the Earth.
"Another one down and not even the smallest bit of fun." I complained.
"Ever since you met Jessica your appetite has increased big time. Need any help with cleaning up?" Emmett asked, there were some drops left on the side of his mouth. I looked around at the bodies of deer collected around us.
"Sure, why not." I said. While we were disposing of the bodies my brother let his mind revealed a curiosity that I wished I could ignore. After all of the decades he has been my brother why does he still surprise me? After we were done I just had to speak up.
"Emment you know I hear you there's no question about that." I said.
"I was just wondering that's all, it's normal. You and your human aren't the usual couple after all. But you are still a couple so...do you...and her ever you know..." He said. Yes these are the most important things that go on in my brothers head.
"Yes I know what you are talking about and No Emmett we haven't and we won't, because the odds of me killing her are extremely high." I said.
"Are the odds really that high? Other than Carlisle you have the most control out of all of us." He said.
"You think I torture myself like this on purpose? If she were any other human maybe but no she's not her blood's potency is just too much. My biggest fear is losing control with her. We are monsters I appreciate just being in the same room as her and it's a miracle that I can...that I can even kiss her." I said. Not even a moment passed before he spoke again.
"To answer your question, yes. I do think you must like torture, to be with a human that can even test your control like this. I didn't know you were a masochist bro but can't say i'm surprised. No one's tortured you more then yourself in life...until now and you chose her." He laughed and I could help but chuckle at the revelation.
Although he was joking his thoughts revealed what he really wanted to say. Even if they don't do the horizontal dance I don't know how he even last a car ride with her. If they were to do that no matter how much control he has in the heat of the moment he might actually hurt her.
I covered the last of the deer with dirt and turned to my brother. "You know it's already hard to deal with without either you or Jasper thinking about it and always bringing it up. Carlisle even talked to me about it a few times." I growled lowly. Emmett laughed loudly at me and I gave him another one.
"Sorry bro, I can't help it." He laughed again. "So how does your lady feel about you two not bumping-"
"Really Emmett!" I tackled him to the ground and we started to wrestle. He had gotten some good shots in but I was faster.
" It doesn't matter anyway because we are both waiting for marriage." I said once we stopped. Emmett came out of his crouching position.
"Alot of girls used to say that to me, a day later they were saying something else." He said with a wink and a grin.
"We both just believe in the same thing." I said.
"So you're saying you want to marry her?" He amused.
"Why do I feel like if I admit it that somehow life is just going to get more difficult then it already has?" I said.
"It might, this is not an easy situation."
"No matter how bad it looks...I love her." I said and just like that all I wanted to do was go see her again.
