Chapter 5: flying car
I was ready to get married and become Mrs. Bella Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Just the sound of Bella Cullen sent chills through my spine. But I liked it. I told Charlie and Renee, but I didn't mention it to my friends; I didn't want to be known as the girl that got married right when she got out of High School. It was set I was to get married tomorrow. Edward and I were at the cliff near the ocean where the next day we were to get married.
I looked at Edward in the eyes, "Can we do it now?"
He matched my eyes and said with a sigh, "Ok."
He gripped my face and angled it to get a good angle and position to bite me. He felt me shaking a little and he hesitated saying, "You won't feel a thing, don't worry."
He bit me I could feel the venom rushing through my veins changing me. I felt more powerful. I felt like I could rule the world. Edward twisted my face and pulled me in to a kiss. His kiss didn't feel any different; it felt like I never have changed. Life was the same but a tingling feeling through my body, but I paid no attention to it. He started to pull away from me but I didn't let him I leaned further into him while he was pulling away. He lost his grip and we were separated. He clarified, "That didn't hurt did it?"
I reassured him, "No, didn't feel a thing."
Before going in for another kiss I had a sudden urge. I walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down. I eased back in a ready stance to go full blast off the cliff.
I turned my head toward Edward and ask while running, "Now that I am a vampire I can turn into a bat."
But as soon as I was off the cliff he had a horrified face, saying in a light whisper, "No… You can't."
With my inhuman ears, I heard his soft whisper with ease. I was trying to turn into a bat, even though I know now, from Edward's words, I couldn't.
Edward ran to the bottom of the cliff to see if he could catch me, running as fast as possible. I looked up at the sky towards the dim sun, when a shadow appeared on the sun's surface.
Someone yelled, "Wait, I got you Bella." By the end of that sentence, I knew that it was Jacob. He had jumped off the cliff to save me, but I didn't need to be saved; Edward was waiting for me at the bottom of the cliff hands out ready to catch me. If he didn't catch me, I wouldn't die because I am now immortal.
Oh, no, I thought to myself. I just remembered that it takes three days for a human to be completely transformed into a vampire; which means I am not immortal, yet. My stupid mistake of thinking I could turn into a bat killed my best friend, and me. Jacob isn't completely immortal either; he would die if he hit the ground.
Jacob pulled something, which looked like a box, out of his pocket. He pushed a button and the box started to unfold into a car. The car looked strangely familiar; it looked like, like the Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang car! He got into the car and darted down the cliff, at an amazing speed, to rescue me. He let the hood of the car drop for my landing in the car would be easier.
"Hey Bella didn't you learn your lesson about jumping off of cliffs yet?" Jacob scolded at me.
"Sorry, I had to have the rush again," I said with a chuckle.
Jacob lost his focus on my face and was frantic, beginning to look a little panicked.
I asked with a little uncertainty of not wanting to know, "What is wrong?"
He looked panicked even more, franticly pushing a button repeatedly, "The thrust is not starting."
After his response to my apprehensive question, the car made a big boom, and we started to fly towards the horizon. The setting of the sun was beautiful and on top of that my stunt was finished I felt relaxed and at home with Jacob beside me. We kept heading toward the endless ocean line of the horizon.
When we got home, I said my good-byes to Jacob and thanked him for saving me, again. Alice welcomed me, hoping I would go shopping with her, to look for my breathtaking wedding dress. She said, "You have to look good for Edward, so we are going to go shopping until our legs fall off."
I responded with a sarcastic tone, "I can't wait, Edward would…." My body froze. When I said the name Edward I remembered that Edward is probably still at the bottom of the cliff I jumped off.
I shunned myself from Alice darting to the phone. I dialed Edward's number distraughtly, it started to ring.
On the second ring Edward answered with his heavenly voice, I heard the sound of the waves in the background so he was most likely at the base of the cliff.
"Hello," Edward he answered.
"Hey, Edward its Bella."
"Bella? Where are you?"
I leaned against the counter laughing at myself for leaving Edward there, "I am at your house. When I fell, Jacob caught me with his flying car. He just dropped me off a few minutes -" Before I finished I heard a crunch and then a dial tone.
I began to be perplexed. I called him again but I got a woman's voice saying, "The number you have reached is disconnected and is not available."
I waited on the couch with Edward's sister who was talking about how she was going to pretty me up for the wedding. Right when Alice was about to talk about my limping, bleak, and straight hair Edward slammed the door.
I tried to comfort him saying, "I am glad your home," with a huge grin.
He ran for me, tackling me on the couch giving me a massive hug, "I am glad you're ok. Never try a stunt like that ever again!"
"Ok," I said with wide eyes and a straight face.
He stood up setting some trash on the table in the kitchen. I squeezed my eyes tightly on the object. After a hard look, I saw that the trash was Edward's phone, crunched in little pieces.
Before I could get to a question Edward started, "I was so scared, Bella. When I was holding my hands out to catch you, for five hours at the time, I heard a smack sound to the left of me. I soon found out the sound came from a duck I hit when I began to through rocks to pass the time waiting for you to fall. I almost believed from the long time that you did turn into a bat and flew away without giving me the heads up."
