Chapter 6- Distraction
I watched a tiny drop of blood drip out of the werewolf's mouth. Killing them was a dirty job but someone had to do it; and that someone was me. And for twenty grand it was well worth the torn jeans and ripped tank. I pulled the sword out of the were's chest and watched as it morphed back into a man. I slid the sword back into it's sheath and licked the blood off my lips. He'd been a good fighter, but good doesn't cut it sometimes. I sighed and flipped my lighter out, it's best to burn them. Just to make sure. I watched him burn, the flames dancing in front of my eyes. My thoughts drifted to Lynn. She'd been the main topic at the dinner table tonight. It was all, 'Oh how are we going to save this poor girl?' and ' we can't let her get hurt'. It was enough to make me puke. I figured we could just tell her about us and ship her off. But no, they wanted to preserve her innocence and refrain from telling her our secret. Oh please. Made me sick. I waited until the were was just ash to leave. Then I got onto Travis's bike and drove away. Another run done, and another twenty grand in our pocket. It took me a whole five minutes to drive home; I parked the car and jogged up to the door. It was open before I'd even been able to knock. I stepped inside, my eyebrow arched suspiciously. " What's going on?" I asked Yuzria, he was the one who'd opened the door.
" You should just come in Bella." He replied. Oh, it was that good eh? I peeked around the corner and felt my blood broil. That human bitch was sitting in my living room! I chomped down on the gum in my mouth and clenched my fists.
" What's she doing here?" I asked him between my gritted teeth.
" I guess Alice's vision happened tonight. They barely got there in time." He answered. I nodded my head once and headed into the living room. Edward had his arm over the girl protectively and was whispering that everything was going to be okay. I smirked and sat down in front of them.
" No need to lie Edward darling." I said to him and turned to Lynn. " A vampire was hungry and wanted to suck your dry sweetheart. How's it feel to know you're only food to some things?" Her mouth quivered when she saw me and she pointed at my eyes.
" She's like him!" She exclaimed. I sneered at her and bared my teeth. Edward stood up and pulled me away.
" What is wrong with you!" He cried. " She's scared." I whipped my hand out of his grasp and snarled.
" I don't care if she's scared. You saved her, get her out of my house and leave her alone." I replied.
" You know as well as I do that I can't do that Bella!"
" And why not?"
" Because, she knows about us now! We can't just leave her out there to fend for herself! Besides, what if Mitchell goes after her?" I snorted and looked at him incredulously.
" You really think Mitchell would care about a pathetic human like her? Look at her, for God's sakes she's whimpering!"
" She's frightened!" He reiterated. I put my hand on my hip and smiled bitterly.
" You get off on it don't you?" I snapped.
" Excuse me!" He yelled. " What the hell are you talking about Bella?"
" You love little, simpering humans. That's why you loved me isn't it? Because I was just like her twenty god damn years ago Edward. Fuck I even smelled like her! So tell me, how much are you attracted to her Edward?" He took my hands in his and pulled my closer to him.
" Have you ever heard the song "Flesh and Blood" by Johnny Cash?" He asked me.
" What does that have to do with anything?"
" In the song it says, ' Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood, and you're the one I need.' You're all I'll ever need Bella. Always. How many times do I have to tell you? I love you for always and forever. You're mine and I'm yours." I frowned and allowed him to wrap me up in his arms. I felt him kiss the top of my head, but the frown never left my face. I was still wary. . . I knew something would happen between them, and when it did someone was going to die.
Yuzria gazed at me, his eyes piercing into mine. " What's wrong?" He questioned me. " You freaked out in there." I smiled and shrugged my shoulders, my hair falling over them. We were sitting in the kitchen after my little. . . Explosion. Edward and the family was in the living room, trying to calm down Lynn. I didn't know where Lanina and Travis were.
" I don't know. . . I just can't help thinking something's going to happen between her and him." I replied. He nodded his head and scooted closer to me.
" Bella, you shouldn't worry about Edward's love for you. Anyone with eyes can see how much he cares for you. Okay?" I shook my head and hugged him.
" Thanks Yuzria." I said.
" No problem." He put his hand on my cheek and stared into my eyes. All of a sudden I felt this. . . Spark between us. I pulled away and cleared my throat. I pointed to the living room and bit my lip.
" I should get out there." I whispered.
" Yeah you should." I stood up when the next thing I knew someone burst through the window beside us. I dropped into a low stance and growled, low and deep. The person looked at me, she was all in black. Her jet black hair looked odd on her pale face; I stared into her crimson eyes.
" Guardian." She hissed. I grinned and drew my knives out, swinging them around.
" Don't wear it out." I responded and whirled around, kicking her straight in the face. She jerked back but fell into her fighting stance quickly. She reached out and connected her fist with my face. I regained my composure immediately and charged after her. We fell to the floor in a daze. I kicked her in the stomach while she kicked me in the leg, almost popping it out of place.
" Prepare to die." She spat in my face. I snarled and bit her with my teeth. She cried out and her hand flew to her neck. I smiled and jabbed one of my knives in her throat. She stared up at me with wide eyes, then yanked it out. I got up and grabbed it off the floor where she'd thrown it aside. She jumped up and kicked me in the shoulder, that she popped out. I cried out and felt something surge within me. That's it, I was pissed. I took my other knife and whipped it out, hitting her square in the chest. She fell to the floor and held her hand to the blade, tearing it out. I walked over to her and held her head in my hands, punching her straight across the face.
" Who sent you bitch?" I sneered at her. She smiled and wiped a trail of venom off the corner of her mouth.
" Tell me, have you made sure everyone you love is here?" My eyes opened wide, she was a distraction. I dropped her and turned to Yuzria.
" There's rope in the closet, tie her up. I'll be back." I told him as I began to walk away. The other's were starting to form in the kitchen. I ignored Edward's gazes. I would kill someone if. . . I bit back the thought and grabbed my coat.
" Where are you going?" He cried out after me.
" To find out where Lanina and Travis are." I replied. " Because that whore was meant to keep me here. Which means someone's after them." And then I hopped onto his hog, and took off.
