Chapter Eight!
Wowee I'm sorry I haven't updated! I've been really busy with school but we have a long weekend now so I will be updating a whole lot more! So lets keep on reading shall we?
Stephenie: And...?
ME: Mutters I don't own Twilight...
Stephenie: What?
ME: DAMMIT I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT! Breaks down sobbing
Bella's POV:
Why did everything awful or terrible or just plain weird have to happen to me? I mean seriously what did I do? My best friends are something of the mythological realm, my ex-best human friend tried to make me go out with him while I had amnesia no less! And now I have no self control over any of my decisions. This. Is. Not. FAIR!
"So Carlisle? What am I supposed to do about this?"
He shrugged. A bad sign.
"Sorry Bella I really don't know."
"I guess I'll go shopping with Alice, I don't have a choice do I?"
"No you don't." Alice smirked as she walked into Carlisle's office.
I tried begging. "Alice, please! This is really cruel you know."
"Bella you are going shopping with me."
And with that my mind went blank and my entire life was in the hands of Alice Cullen. Not good.
"Come on Bella! Lets go!"
My legs jolted from underneath me, and before I ran out of the room with Alice I saw a glimpse of Carlisle, giving me an apologetic smile.
--
"Yay! We're here!"
Alice pulled her car into the mall parking lot. She had been chattering the entire drive, but I was too busy finding loop holes and shooting glares at her to pay attention to the conversation.
She sighed.
"Bella this is probablly the only chance you will ever somewhat willingly go shopping with me, and I just wanted to go to one specific store. Please?" "One store." I echoed, making sure that my voice was devoid of emotion. Of course, it may have sounded empty anyways what with the partial mind control, but who cares? Today, I was just "along for the ride".
"You'll have fun! Who knows? You may discover today that you absolutely love shopping and when you are changed you can come with me to the Mark Jacob's fashion show!"
"Yeah sure. Whatever."
Alice hopped out of the car and grabbed my hand.
"So how about we go to the Stephenie's Bridal first? You'll love Stephenie! She's an old friend of mine, and she's also a writer. She wrote this awesome book The Host I should lend it to you sometime..."
"Wait." I stopped her. "We're going wedding shopping?"
Alice smiled. "Yeah, duh! It would be mean if I made you go to all my favorite stores if you actually didn't want to. I would love it, but you would hate me for it. And this bridal stuff needs to get done! We only have about three weeks until the wedding? Do you realize that Bella?"
"Thanks Alice." I breathed a sigh of relief. At least I wouldn't have to try on high heels or anything if we were only dress shopping.
-Five Hours Later-
Yeah, I wish.
It was hard enough for Alice to control her "impulses" as she called it, and eventually she ended up "mind controlling" me anyways, despite of what she told me in the car. But I had to hand it to her, she had a lot of restraint in the first three hours, so I should probablly take it with a grain of salt. But then again, I tripped in front of Jessica and Lauren trying on these ridiculous high heels, so I'm still pretty pissed.
Alice didn't try talking to me in the car. Sweat beads started to appear on my forehead, the silence was uncomfortable for me. I let the quiet surround me for a second before I groaned.
"Fine you win!"
Alice smiled a short smirk of victory and laughed. It sounded like bells chiming.
"In my experience with humans, I've learned humans dislike silence. It's a physical impulse."
I glared and pressed my fingers into the car wheel, before thinking of a perfectly brilliant, evil plan. And she would have to do it. To ease her guilty conscience
"I'll forgive you."
Alice's eyes went blank before she gasped.
"I guess you figured out my condition, huh? Well you have to tell Edward about what's wrong with my head!" I managed to let out before bursting into manic laughter.
Edward's POV:
My Bella sense is tingling. I finished off a mountain lion before calling her cell phone. I should be going home soon anyways, I should be punished for leaving Bella after her miraculous relapse. But I'm already dead so punishment wouldn't really work for me. I smiled and pulled out my phone, ready to hear my sweet Bella's voice.
Alice's POV:
How could Bella do this to me? I didn't have the heart to mind wash her. Besides, when she was semi conscience she had this freaky zombie expression.
I glared furiously at her shaking figure, which was almost keeling over of laughter. My glares had no affect on her. I grabbed the wheel before she ran us over a cliff and screamed
"Stop laughing! Now Bella!"
Immediately she halted her laughter, and straightened her shoulders.
"Drive." I commanded, and her hands gripped the steering wheel, her eyes were on the road in front of her. Damn. That is just too creepy.
And then the phone rang. Bella didn't reach it, so I picked it up and looked at the caller ID. Of all the rotten luck.
"If it's Edward you have to pick it up." She taunted, but never looked away from the dash board.
I hesitantly clicked the flashing telephone sign and braced myself for the worst. I searched the future, looking for my demise, but I saw myself playing checkers with Jasper in a couple hours. Then the vision suddenly changed and I was stuck in the wall of the family room, my body glued to the plaque surrounding the wood. Not good.
"Hello?" I said. I could almost feel my voice shake, even though I knew it was impossible.
"Alice? Where is Bella?" He demanded, his voice menacing.
"She's driving, and she can't talk right now." I glanced at Bella, who was still staring at the road without any hesitation. Her face was beet red, so I suppose she was still trying very hard not to laugh.
"Driving? I thought she was supposed to stay home. She is probablly extremely exhausted, that was a very careless decision Alice." What. The. F?? He was lecturing me already??
"Actually, Bella isn't well at all." This sentence would amuse Bella. I might as well make it theatrical.
"What do you mean Alice? Is she hurt?" His voice was filled with anger, a volcano about to explode.
"She's fine physically. But not so much mentally?"
"I don't understand." Edward's voice was choking on despair. I somewhat pitied him, but hey, it wasn't part of the deal to save Edward's feelings.
"You know when Emmett threw her in the car? Well she damaged the part of her brain that controls her will power. And now she's a zombie." Bella's eyes widened at this statement, and she gripped the wheel tighter.
"No! No! NO!" Edward roared and hung up. Finally Bella spoke.
"Oh god he's going to destroy the house."
I looked for the future again. What I saw shocked me to the very core. I saw...Jane. With Bella. Holding her by her neck...with a pink haired boy that I know all too well.
"Quick! Bella! We need to go home! NOW! Drive as fast as you can!" Her eyes grew dead pan again, before she floored the gas.
Mike's POV:
I woke up in a daze. What had happened? Then I remembered...when my hair was dyed pink, my front teeth removed, all the horrible, horrible things that Pixie Girl did to me.
"Noooo!" I pounded my fists into the ground, and sobbed. My hair! My glorious beautiful hair was now PINK! Bella will never love me now!
Alice...she will pay!
"Hello boy."
I stepped back, and saw a pale little girl in a black cloak, grinning at me. She was hot. Probablly too young for me. Oh well.
"Hey girlie. What do you need?"
"I need your assistance."
"With what?" I leaned forward. Maybe she thought pink hair was sexy.
"With kidnapping Bella." --
Yep, a cliffie. I know I'm evil. But now you have a lot to look forward too, don't you?
