yeye chapter five!
WOO!
And also, forgive me if my h's, p's or l's are messed up, they're sticking today and it's driving me nuts!
K. read and review, as I am STILL noticing, not many of you review. Thanks to those who did, but to everyone else, shame on you.
"Louis?" I croaked.
For a moment, we just stayed where we were. Neither of us moved. At first, it didn't look like he recognized me, but then I could see the memories coming back, and he looked almost ashamed, but at the same time surprised and confused.
"Claudia." he whispered, barely audible to my human ears, "Claudia, what the hell are you doing here? What the hell...?" he trailed off in his perfectly new velvety voice from my dreams, embarrassed.
"I know... about... it." I stammered.
"How?" he whispered again.
"I-I can't talk... about..." this time I trailed off.
At that moment, before either of us had the chance to say anything else, Alice and Edward appeared around us.
"Claudia, get behind me now. He is unsafe." said Alice sternly. Once again as she touched my skin I saw something. I saw Louis leaning in to bite my neck, but as soon as we broke contact, it was over.
"YOU!" Louis shouted at Alice.
"Yes. Me."
"You! You were the one who left me to turn into this!" Louis was shouting.
"Louis, calm down. We had no choice, the poison was to far into your system to remove it, and when you woke up, you ran away. We could have helped you through this, you know." said Alice calmly, though I saw her jaw tremble as she spoke.
"Louis..." I whispered, I finally realized that I found what I had set out to find, and that was Louis, and now we were together.
"Claudia, get on my back. Now." ordered Edward.
"But..."
"Now!" he growled, and so I got on his back and as we turned to run, I looked at Louis, and his perfect features were arranged in a devastatingly beautiful scowl, but his eyes softened as they locked with mine.
But once we were off into the woods, I could hear words streaming through my head that were not being spoken. At first it was a whisper, but it got stronger.
'Edward, we have to do something about this. Here," came Alice's voice, which was followed by the image of Louis biting me. Wait, but didn't I just see that? And if Alice wasn't really speaking these words, didn't that mean I was using their powers? Alice's views of the future and Edward's mind reading? Hmm... this was very interesting. I now understood why they had wanted me out of there so fast.
Before I knew it, we were back at the Cullen's house, and Bella was waiting for us on the couch.
"Claudia..." she said apologetically.
"I know." I replied, and I smiled, and she smiled back. At least that meant that that problem was resolved, 'Now onto more important matters.' I told myself.
"We've found him. I saw him attacking Claudia, so we got her out of there fast." said Alice quickly.
"I think that me and Claudia should go home now. We need to talk about some stuff."
"As long as you promise not to leave the house without one of us... wait." she closed her eyes and a moment later opened them and smiled, "Good, you'll stay home."
"Bella get on my back, Claudia, get on Alice's." said Edward, and then we were off and to our house in no time, as usual.
We sat in the living room in the darkness in silence for an hour or so.
"Claudia, you know that I didn't mean that. I'm sorry." Bella's voice said from the darkness next to me.
"I know. I'm sorry too. I was actually intimidated by your and Edward's relationship. It's so strong." I said, embarrassed.
"It's okay. I believe now that yours and Louis' may be catching up, maybe even the same." she smiled.
"Lets go somewhere. I need some fresh air." I said.
"But didn't Alice say that we shouldn't leave without one of them?" asked Bella, cautious.
"Well, yes, but, she also said that we would be safe, for tonight at least. Besides, we can just go to the back yard at least."
Bella seemed to digest this for a moment, but then she got up, "Okay, let me just get a jacket; its cold out there at this time of night."
"Yeah I might need one too, actually." I laughed, as we headed to the coat rack to get our coats, and we went outside and pulled out some currently unused lawn chairs and sat down to talk. We talked for a long time, sometimes about vampires, sometimes about Bella's life before she came here, her mother, stepfather, and her non-existent social life and sometimes about my life before I came here, Louis, my family, and my non-existent social life. Once we were fully engrossed in our conversation, we didn't even notice the rustling in the trees and the shadow that darted across the yard.
"Claudia?" said an obviously vampiric voice, and we nearly jumped out of our skins when we saw who it was.
"Louis!" I half yelled, half sighed.
"Oh, Claudia, after they took you away so quickly tonight, I wanted to see you, so I followed you here. I wanted to talk to you." he smiled gently and I got up to hug him, but he stopped me, "No, Claudia, I don't want to risk it. You shouldn't come too close."
"Okay." I whispered. He placed his stone hand on mine.
And then four more vampires jumped out of the shadows, revealing Carlisle, Edward, Alice, and Emmet.
"Don't you dare move a muscle." ordered Alice followed by a deep growl from Edward.
"I wasn't going to hurt her." said Louis with a pained look on his face.
"Stop thinking that!" ordered Edward.
"So you're one of those vampires, huh? Interesting." said Louis, a mocking smile replacing the frown.
"Louis, stop it. What were you thinking?" I demanded.
"About you, my love." he smiled down at me.
"Yes, about you, Claudia. About you becoming a vampire!" Edward growled, and Alice, Bella and I gasped, while the other two Cullens looked taken aback.
"I'm sorry." mumbled Louis.
"No... Louis..." I trailed off. He only wanted me to be with him. And I wanted to be with him too, but...
The next moment, the worst possible thing that could have happened happened: the wind blew my hair around my face, and Louis was standing down wind from me.
Hahaha!
Cliffie for you! dun-dun-DUN
