Chapter Four 'Baseball Thunder'
Bella woke up that Friday morning to find Edward next to her. "What are you looking at?" Bella asked turning away from him.
"The most beautiful woman in the world," Edward said. "And the person that is going to come watch me play baseball," he said kissing down her neck.
"Baseball," Bella said. "Vampires play baseball," she said causing him to laugh.
"Yes Bella," Edward said. "We don't just drink blood to kill time," he said causing her to laugh.
"Okay," Bella said. "But look its going to storm," she said.
"Perfect weather," Edward said. "Now get dressed," he said kissing her cheek. She got out of the bed in nothing but her underwear. It was something they had gotten use to as the day went on.
Bella came out in a pair of jeans, a long shirt, and her hair pinned back. "Okay let's go," Bella said putting on her jacket. "Show me this amazing baseball that you play," she said.
"Right this way," Edward said opening her bedroom door for her. They went down the stairs, out the door, and too Emmett's jeep.
They had gotten to a deep field pass the woods and Alice came over to her. "BELLA!" She said hugging me close. "I am so glad you are here," she said.
"Same here," Bella said with a smile and Esme came over to her.
"Don't mind Rosalie," Esme said noticing her give glares and Bella smirked.
"I never do," Bella said causing her to smile. Edward put down his jacket for her so she could sit down in the grass. "Show me what you got," she said causing him to kiss her fully.
"Edward man," Emmett said holding up his hands and he laughed.
"Sorry brother," Edward said kissing Bella's forehead on last time. Alice was the pitcher and Edward was up to bat. "Come on little sis," he said with a smirk.
"Its time," Alice said looking up at the sky and she arched her eyebrow. Alice threw the ball and as the thunder struck he hit the ball.
"Oh I see," Bella said looking over at Esme with a smile. "Nice," she said nodding her head.
They had played for awhile before going back over to Bella. "Impressed," Edward said causing her to shrug her shoulders. "Really," he said causing her to back away.
Bella went to run but he was already in front of her. "That is cheating," Bella said firmly.
"I am a vampire," Edward said. "So no its not," he said touching her face. Bella's cell phone started to ring and she saw that it was her father.
"Dad," Bella said in the phone.
"There is a problem Bella," Charlie said in the phone. "Billy got attacked," he said.
"I'll be right there," Bella said hanging up. "Billy Black was just attacked," she said. "Now look I know these attacks are being done by vampires," she said firmly.
"Are you accusing us?" Rosalie asked glaring at her.
"If you let me finish," Bella said glaring back at her. "You need to find these vampires and tell them to get the hell out of dodge maybe convince them to go on a different diet," she said. "And then you are going to have to deal with the wolves,' she said causing them to look in shock.
"How did you know?" Edward asked causing her to sigh. "I mean about the treaty," he said.
"Jacob," Bella said. "When I went to La Push," she said. "He said it was just a story but me being a former hunter I knew better," she said. "I got to head to Billy's house," he said.
"Does he know that you are a hunter?" Carlisle asked as the family headed to the vehicles.
"I don't think so but you never know," Bella said. "I'll be fine," she said.
"I'm going with you," Edward said causing her to turn around.
"You know you can't," Bella said touching his face. "I'll be fine promise," she said.
"I," Edward said causing her to touch his lips.
"If I am not back in two hours you can come find me," Bella said. "And I will be back in two hours nothing will hold me back," she said with a tone in her voice.
"Okay," Edward said. "Let me drive you to your house," he said causing her to smile. The family wished her well before she got back into the jeep.
Edward walked her over to the truck and turned her back to him. "Come back to me," he said causing her to smile up at them.
"Always," Bella said kissing him passionately. "Besides Jacob wouldn't hurt me," she said getting into the truck and then pulled out of the driveway.
Edward sighed to himself and then set the timer on his watch. If Bella wasn't back at the time she had stated he would go after her treaty or not. He went back to his house to help his family deal with this new vampire mess. Bella had run into the Black house and was stopped by Jacob.
"Hey," Jacob said.
"How is your dad?" Bella asked looking at him.
"How do you think?" Jacob asked. "He was attacked by an animal," he said. "Those bloodsuckers," he said causing her to cringe but she had to act stupid.
"What?" Bella asked.
"Oh," Jacob said. "Nothing," he said shaking his head. "Sam," he said standing. "This is Bella," he said causing them to shake hands and he wrinkled his nose.
"Nice to meet you Bella," Sam said. "I am going to see Billy," he said.
"What's up with him?" Bella asked causing him to look at her.
"You kind of smell," Jacob said harshly and then went to find his dad. Charlie had decided to leave early and start the search for these animals. Bella had followed to warn the Cullen's to be on a look out for her father and a pack of town men.
