BELLA
Once I finally clamed down after meeting with the wolves, Edward carried me home. We, along with Roxanne and Emmett, watched movies while we awaited news from the others. Edward wanted to make me dinner but I insisted that a burger and fries would be just fine. I didn't want him to go through anymore trouble than he already was for me.
Esme and Rosalie were the first to arrive back around six o'clock that night. After a long and, for Emmett and Rosalie, PG-13 rated hello, we agreed not to talk about what they found out until the others got back. There was really no point in making them repeat themselves. Instead, Esme and Rosalie updated us on the Denali coven. I was glad to hear that they were all doing well. I hadn't met them yet but I still considered them family because the Cullens did. Esme told us how happy they were to find we had a new memeber of our coven.
Alice and Jasper got back about three hours later. Thankfully, since they were on their mission together, there was no need for the rest of us to cover our eyes while they we being welcomed back. Once again, we did not approach the subject of the information they had gotten from Zafrina. We'd need Carlisle's information to be able to put everything together anyway. So, once again, we were updated on the lives of our other extended family. (A/N: I don't know if they're really that close to the Amazon coven but I wasn't sure how else to phrase it.) Just like with the Denali's, I was glad to hear that they were doing well.
The conversations went off in different directions as we waited for Carlisle. I was forcing myself to stay awake until he made it back. I wanted to know what was the deal with Kyle and his powers. Plus, a nagging part of me was curious and fearful of what the Volturi wanted to do about me. I didn't let Edward know this, of course. He had way too much to worry about. I didn't need to give him something else.
Carlisle finally walked in at a quarter to one. I found that any drowsiness I was feeling before, was gone. After greeting everyone, which was a normal coming home activity for Carlisle, he sat down in the recliner and pinched the bridge of his nose. Esme walked over and sat on the arm next to him. She put her hand on his shoulder. Edward clicked off the T.V. so everyone could put their undivided attention into the conversation.
"Esme, Rosalie," Carlisle said after a minute. "What did Kate have to say?"
"She says that she's only met Kyle once. She introduced him to the rest of the family too." Rosalie answered. "From what she's told us, Kyle's what you think he is and took Kate's power the day he met her. And from what Kate described, I think he got Eleazar's power that day too but I don't know for sure."
"I do." Alice piped up. "From what Zafrina told us, Kyle knew that she had a power and what the power was."
"So you're saying, that he knows which ones of us have gifts and what they are?" Edward questioned.
"It's possible." Carlisle said. "Especially if Eleazar tried to read him that day in Denali."
"So, if he knows our powers then why doesn't he just take them and use them against us?" Edward asked.
"Because, it's classic Kyle." Roxanne stated. "He likes a challenge. He knows that directly confronting the ones with powers and taking them would make it too easy for him to win. So instead, he's playing with Bella and waiting for one of us to let our guard down. Then he'll take her and then your powers when you come to rescue her. That's just how he likes to play it.
"So how do we stop him from winning this one?" Emmett questioned. Everyone looked to Carlisle for the answer to that question.
"According to Jane it's pretty simple, we just have to be able to get close enough to hurt him before he can use his powers against us." Carlisle explained.
"And how are we supposed to do that?" Edward asked.
"When the guard destroyed Peter, they used Jane as a distraction. Peter was so focused on her that he didn't sense the others coming before it was too late." Carlisle finished explaining.
A distraction. Well, that was easier. I would just surrender myself. He wanted me so if I gave myself up to him, that would provide enough of a distraction for the others. Kyle wouldn't even see it coming. Especially if I was to make a big deal out of not wanting to put the family in anymore danger. I opened my mouth to voice my idea but Carlisle quickly changed the subject.
"We'll discuss a plan later." He stated.
"As in when Bella's asleep and we don't have to fight about putting her life at risk." I thought as I pouted.
"Right now," Carlisle continued. "I would like to know what the wolves had to say about everything." He turned his attention to Edward.
"Sam appreciates us telling him everything we know. He also, apreciates that we are thinking about their safety when asking them not to fight Kyle, however, they refuse to agree to that." Edward explained. He must have heard some of this in Sam's head because I didn't hear the word appreciate come out of Sam's mouth once, let alone twice.
"I didn't think they would but I had try." Carlisle stated.
"He also said that he'd make the changes needed to extend his lines onto our grounds. And he didn't actually say this next part but he thought it. They are willing to help if we are unable to handle this situation on our own." Edward finished.
Carlisle nodded and asked, "What about the other thing that we talked about?"
Edward swallowed hard before he answered.
"Sam agreed to allow me to bite Bella if it is necessary for her to make the transformation." I could hear the sadness in his voice. He looked to Carlisle his eyes begging for some hope. "Will it be necessary?"
"I don't know, Edward." Carlisle replied pinching the bridge of his nose. "I don't know."
My heart started beating a little faster. I only just realized that they could save me from Kyle but then we'd still have the Volturi to deal with. What if the Cullens couldn't save me from them? All of this would be in vain. I didn't want that.
I felt Edward's arm tighten around my shoulder and turned my body into his chest. I buried my face in his shirt. I felt his lips press against the top of my forehead.
"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you." he whispered.
The family carried on with a plan for what to do about Kyle but I couldn't stay awake any longer. Feeling safe in Edward's embrace, I let my exhaustion take over.
KYLE
I watched and listened to the coven from their living room window. They had finally figured out what I was and were trying to make a plan to destroy me. I laughed to myself at how surprised they'd be when I didn't fall for it. Taking the chameleon's (A/N: A vampire that can become invisible in it's surroundings. He could even go as far as smelling like the objects he was blending in with.) power was the best move I'd ever made. I was able to get as close to them as I needed to be without anyone noticing.
They'd have no idea that I was sitting out side their living room window. In fact, Edward had already looked directly at me twice and hadn't noticed a thing. The rest of plan was going to work out better than I thought.
I'd get what I want and there wasn't going to be a thing they could do about it. By the time, they figured out what happened, I'd be long gone with Bella and Roxanne. I had to get a move on though. Roxanne was already to attached to the human. It'd be hard enough to get to her as it was. Of course, I just had to get to her enough to plant the suggestion. Her mind would do the rest. Still, I worried the connection with the human was already too strong.
I'd have to find a way to get to her tonight. The only question was how to get her alone without causing alarm? The good old doctor helped me figure that one out a minute later. They fianlly realized that Bella had fallen asleep. I could've attacked her anytime in the las half hour. And if I wasn't busy trying to foil their plans, I would've.
Carlisle had asked Roxanne and three of the others to guard the perimeter of the house. I laughed. I was already right outside. I could've killed them all right now if I wanted. I just liked my game too much to do it. I was having way too much fun fucking with this human's head. It would be even more to fuck with the rest of her later. With that thought, I followed Roxanne to her post.
ROXANNE
I ran back and forth over one forth of the grounds of our house. Bella had been asleep for at least a half hour before we realized it. I was glad Kyle didn't take advantage of our distraction. Bella didn't need to lose more sleep over him. I couldn't wait for the day when we were able to destroy him. I would rip off his cock and chove it done his throat just like he had done to me so many times in those six months. I wanted nothing more than to watch him suffer just like I had suffered for all those months. Just like he was making Bella suffer now.
I heard a twig snap behind me and whipped around to see what had done it. I prayed it wasn't him. As bad as I wanted my revenge, I knew Edward was right. I was no where near mentally ready to face Kyle. I knew he could have me eating out of the palm of his hand just like that. All he'd have to do was remind me of those terrible months I had spent in the warehouse. He'd just have to remind of how worthless and pathetic I was. And how he was the only who could ever love me. Then I'd be his again. He knew it and so did I.
"No!" I thought to myself. I had to stay strong. I had a family again. A family that needed me to stay strong and help protect our sister. Bella didn't deserve to go through what I did. I wasn't going to give into him or give him a better chance at getting Bella. The Cullens had made me part of their family after only knowing me for a few hours. They already loved and cared so much about me. They were willing to put there lives on the line for me. I wasn't going to let that all go to waste because I was mentally weak. No I'd stand up for myself in front of him.
A dark shadow emerged from the trees. I knew instantly that it was Kyle and sank into an crouch ready to attack. He raised his arms as if in surrender but I wasn't going to let my guard down that easily. I'd already made that mistake once.
"Relax, Rox." he stated. I shuddered at his nickname for me. "I just came to talk."
The sound of his voice caught me off guard. He was using the loving and affectionate voice I hadn't heard in six years. It was the voice that lured me into his trap the first time. Blaming it on the shock, I pulled out of my crouch but still didn't let me guard down.
"So talk." I growled folding my arms over my chest.
"I've been curious. Why are you working so hard to protect this human? You've only known her for like a week and a half. That's not enough time to form a good bond with anyone." Kyle said. "Besides, she just another human."
"And that's exactly why I'm doing it." I answered. "Because she's just as defenseless and vulnerable as I used to be. I don't want to see her hurt the way I was. She doesn't deserve that."
"Not even after she stole away your first chance for happiness since me?" he countered.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I spat.
"Edward, of course." he replied. "You know in your heart the emotions were more than you expressed to him. You could've loved him and he would've eventually loved you but then that little bitch came back. That ruined it all."
He hit a nerve. His assessment of my feelings for Edward was dead on. I did think that I could eventually love him but I knew what he felt for Bella. I knew going into the relationship with him that it was always possible for him to leave me for her. Did that mean I hated Bella for going back to him?
Hell, no. Bella and Edward's love was one of those that transcended time. I went into the relationship knowing it was only a matter of time before Bella's heart won out over her fears. Yes, it happened sooner than I would have liked but I knew it was coming. And yes it hurt but it was no reason to hate an inoccent human. The two couldn't help that they loved each other.
I was about to tell him all of this but he cut me off.
"But if you bring her to me, your problems would be solved and we'd both get what we wanted. I get Bella and you'd get Edward. It's a win-win situation here." he stated.
I snorted.
"Did you just listen to yourself?" I laughed out. "First of all, I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't let me go when you got what you wanted. And in the off chance that I got away, Edward would end up hating me for handing Bella over to you. And that would defeat the whole purpose of my doing what you asked."
Kyle just laughed.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to get her myself, won't I?" he said between chuckles.
"If you go anywhere near her, my family and I will tear you limb from limb." I snarled.
"You'd have to find my first babe." he laughed. "Have you already forgotten? I always get what I want."
With a final smirk, he disappeared into the trees.
KYLE
"Damn it!" I cursed to myself as I ran. I had thought for sure that I could get her. I knew her feelings for Edward ran a lot deeper than what she was letting on. I, however, had no idea he friendship with Bella had grown strong enough to override her feelings for Edward.
I had really wanted them both. If only to just remind Roxanne of her place. Then again, I could still have a lot of fun with just the human. The only question was how to get her alone?
Before I had a chance to ponder things any further, the world's most disgusting smell. Wolf. Bella's wolf, by the smell of it. He could possibly be the key. She still trusted him even after how it ended. Maybe I could use him to get her alone. It was worth a shot. I decided to spend the night tailing him.
A/N: Well, what do you think? I wasn't going to do anymore from Kyle's P.O.V. but I thought for some of this you needed to see it from his side. Also, I hope the whole chameleon thing doesn't sound stupid. It was the only thing I could think of that would make him untraceable. Poll update for tonight: 80% for a part three. Keep voting!!!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoyed and please review.
