Have you ever came with the perfect plan. I don't mean like a simple plan, a small little plan take took about ten minutes to come up. But the ultimate plan, a plan that rivals every other plan you ever came up with. A plan that took hours on coming up with. You analyzed it over and over again just to make sure you didn't miss a single thing. It was the perfect plan and you were so damn proud of. So when the time came to execute the plan your first thoughts were either 'I got this!' or "what could possibly go wrong?' Because your plan was the best plan ever, nothing could go wrong. Well except for the fact that there is always one person who always seems to mess it all up for the others. They're the reason why the plan crashed and burns. And in my case, that person is my dear beloved twin sister, Isabella. Sometimes I don't even know what goes in her mind.
After we finally agreed on the plan, Laurent surprisingly showed up. He came to make his peace with the Cullens, saying that he didn't want any trouble with them. He claimed that he has grown tired of James' childish games. He even warned us to not underestimate that redheaded witch, Victoria. The Cullens seemed to believe him but I knew better. I should have known better, instead of trying to live my life as comfortable as possible I should have remembered that nothing in this world is calm. There's always danger lurking in the shadow waiting for the perfect opportunity. I should have known better and because I'm pretending to be someone else, my life is in danger. My life is on the line because I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings.
I was waiting in the forest as it was planned. The plan was simple yet complicated. Since Forks was the Cullens territory and they know Forks better than anyone here. They know these woods better than any hunter here, so we're going to take full advanced of that. Yes, James is a tracker but like I said before we have three extraordinary vampires with each different unique gifts. It'll be stupid of us to not use that to our advantage. I was going to lure James into the forest, making him believe that I was going to 'sacrifice' myself so that he would let the others go. I marked every other tree with my blood so he'll come to me. So he'll know that I'm calling him. The Cullens were far enough that James wouldn't suspect a thing but close enough to get to me before James had a chance to do something. Suddenly Jasper shows up looking at me with guilty and concerned.
"It's Bella," he said.
Without another second to spare, I started running towards their house. Three steps in Jasper grabs me and puts me on his back, running towards his house. I didn't know what was going on, I didn't know what happened to Bella, I was scared and confused. Within minutes we got back to the house. We entered through the backroom but before we entered Jasper stops me and turns to look at me.
"Your father is here," he said making me confused.
What is dad doing here? Shouldn't he be at home or even at Billy's house? He shouldn't be here in the midst of everything, it's not safe. Without saying anything I walked inside. I notice that everyone was avoiding me, confused I walked up to my father who looked devasted. He turns to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged back still trying to look at the others but they weren't looking at me. Edward was staring out the window looking furious. Pulling away I looked at my father.
"Hey, dad what's wrong?" I asked him.
"Bella left us," he said causing me to look at him shocked. What did he mean Bella left us? She can't because she's upstairs waiting. She's been here all along. I turn to Edward but he wasn't paying attention to us. Turning to my father I begin to question him.
"What you mean she left us? That can't be, she's here up in the-"
"No, Annie she isn't here. About an hour ago she came to the house and packed her bags. She said she couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't handle being stuck her, she didn't like being locked up in this town" dad said.
I looked at him stunned and furious. I sat down on the couch trying to progress of this. How... what... when... what the hell?! First of all, what in the world is she thinking? We didn't just spend hours trying to come with will all of that planning for no reason. We had a damn plan why did she have to ruin it. I looked up at my father who wasn't looking so well.
"Did she say where she was heading too?" I asked.
"Yeah she said she's going back to your mothers," he said. I stared at him, eyes wide. No, no, no, no. I turn to Edward and this time he was staring at me.
She's going to meet up with James, I mentally said to him. He looked at me confused.
Dude, Bella's gonna meet up with James! That's why she left, she's going to meet up with James! I screamed at him in my mind. Edward looks at me shocked. Jasper steps up looking at Edward and me. Turning to my father, thinking I must get Bella before she does something stupid.
"I'm gonna go get Bella and talk some sense into her," I told my father.
"Anne you can't she-"
"She isn't that far if I leave now I can probably catch to her,"I tell him.
"You can't-"
"Mr. Swan," Edward said making us look at him.
"I'll go with Annie and make sure nothing happens to them," Edward said. Before my father could argue Carlisle stepped up.
"I'll go with them so they won't go without an adult supervision," Carlisle said.
"Dr. Cullen but you have wor-"
"Not this week. I took some time off to spent with my family but as a father, I understand your concerned. Bring Bella home safe and sound is important. I'll go with them and to bring her back" Carlisle told my father. Dad turns to Edward, then at Carlisle and lastly, he turns to me. I knew he was having an internal battle with himself and I understand. He doesn't want help but for Bella, he would do anything. Dad sighs and turns to Carlisle.
"Thank you, Dr. Cullen," he said.
"No problem I know if it was one of my kids I would do anything for them," Carlisle said. Dad turns to me and frowns.
"Anne please bring her back," he said. I went to hug him tight.
"I'll bring her home even if I have to drag her here," I said pulling away from my father. He cracks a slight smile.
"Be safe, alright?" he said and I nod.
"Whenever you guys are ready," I said turning to Carlisle and Edward.
"Let's go," Edward said. I kissed my dad a goodbye before heading off with Carlisle and Edward. When we left Forks we stopped to meet with the others.
"Anne" Jasper called me and I ran towards him. He hugged me and I hugged back.
"Is my father alright?" I asked.
"Rosalie and Esme stayed back, they'll protect him," he said pulling away from me. I nodded and turned to the others. Jasper held my hand as we walked to the others. Emmett and Alice came with Jasper.
"I saw something but I don't understand it," Alice said. She hands me a piece of drawing. It's weird because it's a drawing of a man, well it looks like a man. He's standing over a grave without a name. Confused I turn to look at her and she shook her head.
"I don't understand it either. But it must be important because I saw it" she said. I turn to look at it once more before giving it to her. I don't want to know who that man is or who he's looking down on. Edward, Jasper, and I went in the car they brought while Alice, Emmett, and Carlisle went to the other. Throughout the trip, I continued to call Bella but like I expected she didn't answer. So I left her a message hoping I could get through to her before anything happens.
"Hey Bells, I don't know what's going through your head right now. I don't know what James said but whatever he said it's a lie. Mom's still in Florida with Phil, dads home worried sick and I'm... I'm freaken pissed. But whatever you think you're gonna do, whatever plan you came up with it won't work. You're just one human, Bells. We need Edward and the others to kill James and don't try anything stupid because if you do... I swear Bella, I swear I'm gonna have to come and get you and I don't care where you are. I'll bring you back 'cause you and I, we're twins. If you go down I go down, remember? You can't leave me, it doesn't work like that. Just please don't do anything I wouldn't do, stay put I'm coming for you"
Bella's POV:
I've never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in the place of someone else I love seems like a good way to go. I know my sister is angry with me, but she has always been my favorite. She's been my rock my go too and now that someone is trying to kill her. I can't just stand by and watch her die. She'll survive without me, she has dad, mom, she has the Cullens and now she has Jasper. I know they're not official yet but who are they fooling. They love each other, you could tell just by staring at them. If I can't be there with her I know Jasper will take good care of Annie.
I climbed out of the taxi and stare at the building. I cannot bring myself to regret the decisions that brought me face to face with death. They also brought me to Edward and I know Annie wouldn't regret her decisions. Taking a breath I walk to the school and immediately I began to look for James. Cautiously I walked around trying to calm down but what's the whole point of calming down when you know you'll die?
I was in the middle of the room when all of a sudden I hear someone laughing. I turned around and saw James standing there looking at me with a vile smirk. I backed away as he walks towards me. He had a camera in his had.
"So to make things more entertaining, I'm going to make a little film of our time together," James said. Suddenly James pulls me to the wall holding my throat.
"It'll break Edward's, little heart. Knowing he couldn't save you. And poor Annie she-"
"You said you'll leave Annie along" I yelled at him.
"Ohh, you really are dumb. Annie was my main object. You see I'm gonna turn her" he said. I stared at him shocked. He's gonna turn, Annie? What the hell? How couldn't I see that coming? Suddenly the front door opens and Annie walks in.
"Hey asshole you want me to come and get me," she said. James turns to her and smirks. He drops me and within a second he was standing in front of her. Annie pulls out a pocket knife and tries to stab James but he was too quick. He grabbed her hand and looks at the knife. Dropping the knife, he throws Annie across the room and she smashed her head hard into some mirrors.
"ANNIE!" I screamed. I ran towards Annie and tried to help her. James laughs and I looked up at him. He was videotaping all of this.
"Beautiful! I can turn her while I'm sucking the life out of you" he said. James advances toward us. He picked me up by my hair.
"I don't get what makes you special? I understand your sister. Because let's face it, Annie's way beautiful. Perfect body, perfect face, she's just perfect but you on the other hand. You're nothing compare to her. You're nothing, no one would miss you if you're gone. No one will even know you're gone." he said.
"Y-you're wrong" I heard Annie's soft voice. James and I turn to her and she was looking at me.
"I'll miss her. And that should be enough" she said before stabbing James in the leg. James dropped me and went to get the knife. He glares at Annie and once again he picks her up and throws her. In a matter of seconds, he's in front of her.
"I wanted to have some fun with your sister before turning you but I guess I should turn you now," he said before grabbing her arm.
"NOOOO! Kill me, leave her alone" I screamed at him. He dropped Annie's hand and suddenly I was thrown across the room.
"Shut the hell up! You're annoying" James said before stepping on my shin. I could hear my bone snapped. I screamed out in agony.
"BELLLAAAA!" I heard my sister scream.
"Tell Edward how much it hurts," James said pointing the camera in my face.
"Tell him to avenge you and your sister"
"NO! Edward don't," I said weakly. I watched as James inhales my blood, he leans in, hungry. I watched him smirk and looked into the camera.
"And cut! This is where it ends for this twin" James said. Suddenly James is thrown across the room. I turn and saw Edward giving me a guilty look. He picks me up and turns to Annie.
"Get her out of here. Take her" she said.
"Anni-"
"GET HER OUT OF HERE EDWARD" Annie screamed out. Edward nod but before he could jump James pulls him by his leg. He knocked the both of us to the floor. Edward crashed into and mirror but I was lucky enough to fall near Annie. But I know I have broken another bone. Annie comes to me and grabs a piece of glass that was near us, holding it while trying to help me up. I watched Edward and James fight but it looks like James is winning. Annie tried helping me but it was no use. Suddenly I was pushed back. I looked up and saw James had Annie by her throat. I watched him stabbed Annie in her stomach. Annie screamed out in pure agony. Helplessly I watch my sister screaming and kicking her way out. And I watched James' eyes turn black before he pierced my sister's neck. Once again Annie screamed out.
"AAANNNNIIIIEEEE" I screamed for my sister. Edward yanked James away from Annie. Annie's body fell to the ground shaking. I didn't pay attention to the boys all I was thinking was my dear sister. I slowly crawled to her. When I got there, I pulled Annie's shaking body on my unjuried leg. I saw there was a bite mark by her shoulder.
Annie's POV:
I couldn't concentrate on anything. My whole body hurts, ever part of my body felt like it's on fire. I tried to focus on the dark figures twisting and turning, it looks like they're fighting. I kept on going in and out of focus. All of a sudden I felt something cold and hard, trying to open my eyes I see someone. I couldn't tell who it was seen they looked blurry. I screamed out in pain.
"DO SOMETHING! HELP HER!" I hear Bella scream at someone. I couldn't hear their response since the voice talked when I screamed out again. I opened my eyes and I see three blurry Cullens. I turned to look behind them and it looks like some sort of tribal dance as they rip out the floorboards and build a fire.
How did it all come down to this? I tried so hard to change things but in the end, I made it so much worse. I tried to stop Charlie from getting hurt, I tried to stop Bella from almost committing sacrificed, and I tried to stop myself from doing something stupid but in the end, it all comes back to how it supposed to be. In the end, Charlie got hurt, Bella tried to sacrificed herself to keep Edward safe and in the end, I ended up doing something stupid. I should have stayed in the room Jasper locked me in. But Bella would have gotten more hurt and that didn't sit well with me.
Out of the nowhere, I heard the voice again. The same one I heard before, the one from the accident, it was in my head calling out to me. Telling me to keep my eyes open, to stay awake but I couldn't. The pain was overwhelming and I didn't know how long I would last. I didn't know if this was my last time with them. I didn't know if I was gonna turn or died from all the pain I felt. But in the end, it didn't matter. Bella was safe, Edward will take care of her. Yeah, he'll end up hurting her a little but what relationship doesn't hurt? All I hope is that if I died, hopefully, Alice can take care of Jasper. Hopefully, she can make him forget about me and move on. Pretend that I wasn't even here and continue with his life with Alice by his side.
No One's POV:
Carlisle applies pressure to the gash on Bella's thighs but she moves his hand away. And turns to her sister Annie, who was still shaking on the floor.
"Don't help me. Help her!" Bella screamed at Carlisle.
"It burns! My body, it's on fire!" Annie screamed out.
"Venom," a voice said. Carlisle, Edward, and Carlisle turn to see Jasper looking down at Annie, concern written all over his face. Carlisle works on Bella's left while talking to Jasper.
"You have to make a choice, Jasper. Either let the change happen or-"
"He said he wanted to turn her," Bella said interrupting them. Jasper, Carlisle, and Edward turned to Bella confused. However, she wasn't paying attention to them but to her twin sister. Bella was trying to calm Annie down but nothing was helping.
"He said he wanted her so he can change her. He was gonna change her while he kills me" Bella said.
"Who?" Edward asked. Bella looks up, her eyes red and puffy from all the crying.
"J-James. He wanted to turn Annie. He told me" Bella said looking back down at Annie.
Once again Bella tried to calm Annie but it wasn't working. Annie was still shaking, screaming, and crying, begging for it all to stop. Begging someone to stop the pain she was feeling. Jasper felt her pain and it was killing him. He didn't want this for his mate, he wanted to turn her now, he wanted to turn her the right way. He wanted to marry her first before he turned her. He wanted to do so many things before she became what he was. He was the one who was gonna do it and now it'll be too late. She'll have to be one before it was her time.
"Jasper you can stop this if you want," Edward said to his brother.
Annie's POV-
I watched them talk but I couldn't hear anything. Alice shows up behind Jasper who was kneeling in front of me with a guilty expression.
No one's POV:
"No, I already have seen it. It's going to happen" Alice said. Jasper turns to his ex-wife. He was so conflicted, should he be greedy and let his mate be turned this way or should he wait for the perfect time? Well, when is the perfect time to change someone? When is it appropriate to change someone to a vampire? Jasper turns to his true mate and watches her scream.
"IT BURNS! JASPER PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!" Annie screamed
"Carlisle" Jasper said gritting this teeth. When Carlisle finished with Bella he turned to Jasper.
"You can try to suck the ven-"
"You know I won't stop. I can't... I'll end up hurting her or worse I'll end up killing her" Jasper said looking at Annie suffering.
"Jasper, son find a will to stop. This is your mate she needs you right now. She needs your help. Choose, she only has minutes left" Carlisle said.
Jasper looks down at Annie, thrashing in pain. He looks up at Bella with guilty eyes and Bella nods, knowing he finally chose. Bella cries even harder but nods. Jasper puts Annie on his lap, gently moves her hair out of the way and picks up her left shoulder. However, Annie tries to pull away from him and it makes him feel guiltier. He saw her eyes widen in fear, and on top of all the pain, Annie felt, Jasper felt her fear spread all over her body. With a heavy heart, he leans down to her shoulder but stops and takes in her scent. The scent he loves her smell, her warmth made him appreciate life, even more, her heartbeat was his favorite sound and he loved her bright hazel eyes. He loves every human thing about her and he isn't willing to let that go to waste, not yet anyway.
"It's alright, my love. I'll make it go away" Jasper whispered before biting into Annie's shoulder. Jasper held Annie tighter as she tries to pull away from him. Annie's pleaded and cries made everyone's heartbreak. Annie begged Jasper to stop, tried to push him away, tried to kick and scream but everything she did was useless. Jasper had to take out the venom before she turned into a vampire.
Jasper's eyes began to turn pitch black. He begins to suck harder, hungrily. Anguished, he wants to stop but he can't, more like he couldn't. Annie's blood was a new found drug to him. Every other blood he tasted was wiped out of his memory and now Annie's blood was placed there. Her blood was heaven for him, he couldn't stop and he didn't want to. He wanted every last drop of blood all to himself.
"Stop. Jasper, you're killing her." Carlisle told his son. However, Jasper didn't listen the bloodlust is too strong. Jasper killing her and they both knew it. They both knew that he wanted to stop but he couldn't.
Annie's POV:
I felt Jasper's shake I didn't know from what but I knew he was hurting. I knew he didn't want to kill me but he couldn't stop. But it's okay I forgive him, he didn't have to live with the guilt of killing another human, because I forgive him, how could I not? I love him.
"Jasper, sweetheart it's okay" I tried to calm Jasper. I tried to turn to him but he was blocking my way. Everything around me began to grow more blurry... eventually, everything disappears into the blinding light. I felt as if I was underwater.
I didn't know that death is peaceful. If I knew this before perhaps death would have taken me long ago. Perhaps I wouldn't even be here if I knew that death was just like sleeping.
