Here is another chapter, I don't own anything to do with Twilight. I thought this story would be faring better, hopefully after some more chapters it will take off. Please review!
Her eyes bore into mine, bringing back so many memories of the childhood bond we had, wait no the bond we still have. I knew she was trustworthy, my eyes turn back to the rain-slicked road, harshly splashing water droplets hit the car windows as we drive onwards. Noticing she never mentioned my horrible driving. Soon we hit the outskirts of town, the trees thinner you can see the old fashion estate, the winding staircase leading to my room, my patio with double doors. Bella smiled, maybe at the memories, we shared here, I didn't know.
"So give me details about the Cullen's. If I assume correct Rosalie is with Emmett, Jasper and Alice, Theo with yourself," I say as the gate swings open. Her hands fidgeted with her seat
Answering, "You're right. Edward is the only one without a mate, Esme worries for him. Esme is their mother, you would love her, she is the sweetest and loving person you could ever hope to meet. Her mate is Carlisle he is the towns top doctor, he and Esme welcomed me into their home and family, Caprice. Theo acted just like Edward when we had to sit together, Edward is rather melodramatic," her voice hinted at humor.
"Come on," my door was open as I grabbed my bag from the backseat "We need to talk," her face paled fearing the worst as if I would come here and tear her life apart. We are the same height now, we both always believed in the sheer amazing fact we were born on the same day, time, and the hospital made the bond so strong. "The memories are flooding back, dad said Uncle just moved back in a week ago, guess without you here he couldn't bear to be in this house." Her eyes moved over the foyer.
"Same room?" she questioned "Yes, I think your room is the same, except for a bigger bed," my voice was filled with happiness, her smile bright. We made our way to my room, I headed towards the closet getting black joggers with a striped crop top, it was time to get comfy.
She was at my desk when I came back in "Still the same, can't wait to get back into bed" Bella says her cell in hand but she was smiling.
"It's Theo, guess Edward is being a drama queen and is upsetting Esme," her face had fallen, her brow pulled together in worry.
"I don't sleep much anymore Bella, things have changed. I just want to be in more comfortable clothes. What can you remember from when we were kids, the time we went with the Clearwaters, Leah, baby Seth, Emily?" I give her a look my body tense.
She gave it thought but answered, "Nothing anymore, you left not long after." I am by her side my arm around her "Hey, I left for you. That day a vampire came from the woods as we four girls played, it was Leah's mother with Emily's mom. He was looking for vampires with talent per se, but he found you and I. I assume there is an ability you have inside that will manifest once you turn," her voice cuts through mine, a low urgent voice.
"Edward can't read my mind," her eyes alight.
I calculate, "See you already show it as a human, which means it will be more potent, it will be a force to reckon with once you turn. If you are mated to Theo, you already want to. But I showed mine in plain sight, I wanted him to not move, to not come closer his red eyes scared us, kids. I told him to stay not to move. His howls of fury when his body wouldn't move he uprooted a tree in his rage. So I told him to leave us alone, to go home. He did, I didn't see them for a few years. Then one night he came back with two others, their names not important right now, they gave my father and me a choice. They would take me, give me an education, whatever I desired as I met the leader, who was sitting in the lounge chair his red eyes on me the entire time. If I would let him turn me when I reached eighteen, in return you would live, they wouldn't try and turn you. I screamed in rage before wanting the one closest to me to burn, his body was soon covered in flames much to the leaders' delight, he actually clapped his hands, Bella. I did what I thought best, I told them to forget about you, never have they mentioned you but they still knew I had a talent that was already strong as a child. I left that night, six years later I am here to make sure you are safe, happy and I already see you are loved. It seems too late for me," when I looked up her face was covered in tears, her eyes clouded.
"Isabella, remember. Remember that day in the woods while we played, when the scary man came for us," my voice changed taking on a hypnotic ring, each word made her eyes brighter, her face was flushed as the memories she suppressed rushed back, she needed to remember.
Her tears still leaked out as her mouth moved "That was the last day I saw you, you had on a pink dress. He scared us, Emily's mother was cursing him, but Leah's mom was looking behind us into the forest but nothing was there. Seth was crying in his bassinet, Leah and Emily held each other as you yelled at him to go. His eyes a dark burgundy, his lips pulled back in a snarl, his rage was focused on you." she shook her head before her eyes looked normal, she was in my arms again like when we were younger, scared of the goblin who lived under my bed.
"I lived in Italy, not Greece. I got a first class education, learned so many things, saw things I'd rather forget, heard things I'd rather have died than hear. I only wanted what was best for you, I can live being one of them if you're happy with Theo and his lifestyle." I smile at her, but she shakes her head angrily.
"No, we can hide you. The Cullen's can do it, Jasper can read emotions, control them, Alice can see the future. Emmett is a tank, Theo has a weaker mind shield, it doesn't block Edward, he can read minds except for mine." Her rambling was sorely missed.
Sighing, "No Bella, I made my deal. I won't let anyone risk their lives for me, I am able to handle this. Your cell is getting rather annoying answer it," I slip on flip-flops as she looks at her cell.
"Hello Theo," her voice changed more alluring, I was right she wanted to jump him, a blush coloring her pale cheeks.
"Of course she will hold on Theo. Caprice, Esme is dying to meet you they are inviting us over for dinner on Saturday." I scoffed.
I winked, "As long as we aren't on the menu, you should also alert lover boy you told me what they really are," I added, I didn't want to pretend I wasn't aware of what they really are.
"Theo, she is okay with it, as long as I am happy. Does Alice see any changes?" I could hear Theo, but his words are garbled.
"Well, then. Yes, later is fine," she smiled into her cell as I flopped down on my bed with a sigh.
"I have to go cook dinner, you are coming," her voice firm "I can stay for a while, but dad said he would be home to have dinner," shrugging as we strode from my room heading towards the front doors together. The rain was pouring down, we didn't chance running to my car, she would just fall taking me down with her. I stopped her seeing a Mercedes S55 AMG, the windows tinted so darkly nothing could be seen.
"That is Carlisle's car," Bella says her hair dripping wet clinging to her face her eyes on the Mercedes until it was speeding off down the road leading out of town.
"That wasn't Carlisle, he wouldn't have just parked. If it was my guess it was Edward," Bella continued walking slowly until we are safe in the car, wet but safer.
I wonder why mister sourpuss was outside my house, all I knew is he was gone. The roads are slick as I drive, we drive La push I vaguely remember the beach there. "Turn here," so I do driving down the long street full of older houses and cars parked on the side of the streets.
Seeing a big red truck maybe it was a tank, they don't build trucks like that anymore, a shame a real shame. I park outside her house "He will be home soon," she drags her bag as we walked up the path leading to her front door.
It was small and homey; the chairs didn't match once we walked into the kitchen where I sit on the counter as she started on pasta "You changed Caprice. So full of confidence now,"
"You seem the opposite," I retort back "It is my personality Caprice, I never knew what to do with my life. I was so preoccupied with making sure Renee paid the bills if she was lost I helped her. Now she has Phil, he doesn't want me around so they made my life hell, until I figured living with Charlie would be better for them and myself,"
A little snappy, "You should call him dad, Bella. It is rather crude for you not to, there is nothing he wouldn't do for you, unlike the woman you call mom." she looks at me flabbergasted, but her eyes say she understands me as she gives me a nod.
It smell's good as I set their miss matched dining set hearing a car door shut "He is home," Bella smiled as the door opened "Bella, I am home," Uncle Charlie's voice was husky and warm as it drifted over the room.
"In the kitchen dad. Hurry, I have a surprise," Bella's voice was cheerful her eyes bright. It was seconds later an older version of Uncle Charlie walked into the kitchen, it took nearly a full minute before he said anything "Caprice, is that you? My god it is, you're home baby girl," he smiled as I bolted into his arms, he wasn't one for emotion but I was.
"Hello Uncle, I am home for good," I smile up at him "Good, I missed you as much as I missed Bella, now I have both my girls back. Life can't get any better," my eyes misted over, this was something I was missing.
"Are you staying for supper, Caprice?" he asked, "No I should be going, I am having dinner with dad." I hug them each before I have to go. But the house was empty when I arrived, my cell was blaring.
"Sorry princess but I have to stay late, for a meeting. I will get better, please give me a chance-dad"
"Pizza it is," I flop down on the sofa while ordering a large meat lover with mushrooms and olives.
