Hey again! New chapter already...yikes.
anyways, read on!
Even if I tried to convince myself otherwise, I knew deep down it wasn't just a dream.
It was some sort of warning.
Before I could think about it anymore, I fell asleep.
BPOV
I woke up to the sound of Alice yelling at me too wake up while she was rummaging through my closet. I groaned and pulled the covers over my head. No use. She had the covers off my head and completely off my bed the second after I threw it over my sleepy eyes.
"Ali-i-i-i-ice! Why are you waking me up at…"-I looked over to my alarm clock and groaned again-"4:30 in the morning?!" She placed a pile of clothes on my bed while I glared at her. I suddenly had the urge to put my hands around her throat, but that wouldn't affect her in the slightest…grrr.
"Because were leaving in half an hour. Now I suggest you move your butt or I'm going to have to dress you up myself. Now get up." She smirked over her shoulder at me before she left my room. I growled silently, and got up, pulling whatever she had given me too wear over my head without checking.
I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and heir, and packed all of my bathroom necessities. I found that my entire room had been emptied except for the bed, but that was going to arrive at our new house sometime today.
Being Alice, she came in my room and did my hair and makeup, ignoring my complaints, and fixed my outfit which I was awake enough now to notice was a black silk alter top, dark blue skinny jeans rimmed with diamonds on the pockets and some black stiletto boots.
She smiled smugly to herself before she left. 5:00 came around, and we were off.
I pulled my Ipod out, and plunged the earplugs into my ears, and prepared myself for the long 4 hour drive from here to Forks. I looked out the window absentmindly while listening to one of my favorite songs…
Another sleepless night…
Still staring at the ceiling…
I can hear em' fighting.
With her for no reason…
Will this ever e-end?
Will this house be a home again…?
Although I didn't relate to the parents fighting part, I had had my share of nights were I had no sleep because of things I'd rather not think about…
If I had my way,
I'd corner him and say…
Put yourself in her position!
All she needs is recognition.
Love is not enough when you say it,
Don't you know?
You gotta mean it!
Wow, even if I was a human, I would have my hands around anyone who would do this to their loved one. When it came to love, I knew that it was unconditional, it always came from the heart, it might be unexpected, but nothing like this. Right?
Screwing up the best thing ever,
Something you'll regret forever.
Another day goes by,
And, nothing changes she's still the same…
I can hear her cryin'…
Thinking she's the one too blame…
Will this ever end?
How could someone do this to their lover?
Screwing up the best thing ever,
Something you'll regret forever…
Another sleepless night,
And nothing changes she's still the same…
Another stupid fight, and
Someone's gotta say…
Put yourself in her position!
All she needs is recognition,
Love is not enough when you say it,
Don't you know?
You gotta mean it!
Screwing up the best thing ever,
Something you'll regret forever…
Take her and make sure she feels it!
Let her know,
Never let her go!
Never let her go!
No, no, no!
Without realizing it, I fell asleep while the music directed my dreams…
* * *
"Bella? Bella, wake up. We're here." I opened my eyes slowly to find that we had stopped and Esme and Alice were getting out of the care while Rosalie was jostling me awake. I sat up slowly; feeling disoriented, and rubbed my eyes.
Curious, I looked out of the window to find a vast sight of greenery everywhere I looked…Yikes. Our home, or should I say mansion, was situated deep in the forest, with a smile road leading out of the large meadow. It was raining which was a good sign since that's what we had intended…Although I despised the rain, I wasn't going to complain if this is what they wanted…
I climbed out of the car and stared in wonder at what would be called our home. It was a 4 story, deep beige cement walls, with white rimmed imperial windows, and a stone trail leading to the entrance. Hung over the main doors was a crowned archway with a beautiful chandelier lighting the entrance.
Alice had to pull my elbow to break the trance I had been in earlier, and led me into the house. Everything was absolutely beautiful! I was absolutely mesmerized by what I was seeing. Rosalie led me up the grand staircase, and towards the fourth story. She led me down the hallway until we reached the last room on the left. It was…
Gorgeous!
It was painted a midnight blue, black drawers, my silver bed (wow, those moving people were fast!) in the middle of the room along with my other things. My eyes were probably as wide as saucers by now, and my mouth was gaping open.
Suddenly I felt a hand under my chin, clamping my mouth shut.
"I assume you like it?" Rosalie chuckled. I shook my head, and instantly her face fell.
"I…I love it!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms around her. She held me back smiling.
"I'm glad. Esme and I spent hours planning it and sending the designs to the one whom re-designing the house. Well, were going to go hunt…think you'll be ok for a while?" she asked. I nodded slightly, giving her a slight smile. She smiled back, and with that, she was gone.
I sighed quietly, and headed to the white night table and picked up my book. There was a nice white fluffy chair close to the gigantic glass wall covering the south part of the wall, like our old home. I sat on it and began to read where I had left off.
After about 20 minutes of reading, I had the sudden urge to look out the window. I ignored it, and kept reading. After a few more minutes, the craving wouldn't die, so I looked out.
There was the vast forest, another giant house in the distance, a river beyond the great house, and of course the clouds that casted a large shadow over the place. I sighed quietly, and then looked down to our lawn, and I was met by a pair of tranquilizing golden eyes…
Oh my god! My heart started to go double time the minute I saw him. At first I thought he was dangerous and there to scare the crap out of me…
But soon enough, that fear went away and was replaced by amazement…He was…there were no words to describe him. He was leaning over a deer's corps, his lips tainted with blood, his hair was a mass of beautiful mussed up bronze hair and a pair of mesmerizing golden eyes.
And he was looking directly at me, not in a stalker or dangerous way but…entranced? No. Couldn't be. My imagination was playing tricks on me. He slowly stood up, tilting his head sideways, still staring at me. Although we were a vast distance apart, I could tell his mouth was slightly parted.
Although I would deny it, I was automatically mesmerized by this god. We continued to look at each other, completely dazed, until his head suddenly snapped to the side, like he had heard something. He looked longingly back at me for a moment, and then he was gone…
I slumped in my chair, completely shocked. Who was he? What was he doing here? Was he…a vampire? The way he had been leaning over that deer, it was like he had been eating it…and his lips had been blood-tainted…
Mmm, I would have to ask Esme or Alice or Rosalie about it…maybe they knew if there was another coven around here…
Wow! Hold up! You just saw him through a window, eating a god dawm deer, and now you want to meet him? What the heck?
I shook my head agitated. What was wrong with me?
Just then, I heard the door open and close. They were home. I placed my book on my night table, and ran downstairs, almost tripping down the staircase, to where the rest of them were. Before I could say something, I noticed their eyes were…not the gold they usually have after they have hunted…something was going on.
"Hey, Bells! You'll never guess what happened!" Alice practically danced over to me. She seemed a tad over-exited…maybe she found a shoe sale in the woods. I laughed mentally at that. That would be Alice, alright.
"What happened?" I couldn't take it anymore. The excitement she had was wearing off on me. She shrieked like a little girl who just got a puppy, and brought me over to the couch, as well as Rose and Esme. Oh ya, by the way they were smiling, I could tell something was up.
"Well, we didn't get a chance to hunt, but we did run into someone. Well, there were 4 of them, and they were hunting when we found them. There's another coven near by, and they invited us over to their house!" She was squealing so loud I had to cover my ears. The way she had said it, I could tell she was leaving something out.
"Really? Who are they?" I asked interested. Maybe she would mention the one I had seen…
"Well, there all boys, there's the leader Carlisle,"-I swear at that moment, Esme sighed while smiling-"…then there's the big one, Emmett,"-She didn't sigh like Esme, but the way Rosalie smiled wider, I could tell she had something going on with him-"…Then there's Jasper…"-huge smile, something I had never seen before-"…and then there's Edward. You'd like him. I could tell you two had a lot in common." Mmmm…was he the one outside my window? Well, I was going to find out since we were going over to their house…but when?
"So, when are we going over to their home?" I asked them, and clearly they had been thinking hard about something…or someone. Esme was the fastest to recover.
"In an hour. I suggest you go get ready." Ok, they were hiding something by the way they were smiling at me. I looked at them suspiciously, and then went to my room. I shut my door lightly and went to sit on the edge of the bed. I didn't need to be psychic to know what was about to happen.
"3…2…1." And here comes Alice. She bursted through my door, and had a mischievous smile on her face. She was about to speak, but I beat her to it.
"I know, I know…just do what you have to do." She smiled wider, and began the torture.
45 minutes later, I was ready. She had allowed me to keep the halter top and jeans, but insisted I wear the heels I had worn yesterday…Great. She slightly curled my hair, and put on some light makeup. Suddenly, a thought hit me…
"Alice, have you told them about me?" It would be just great that I end up in their house and get pounced on because of my scent….just peachy.
"Ya. But you don't need to worry. They're like us." She calmly reassured me. I nodded slightly, and with that, we headed out. Since their house wasn't far from here, they decided to run, with me on Alice's back.
As they ran through the woods, I instantly became scared. They rarely ran with me like this, and it was the single, most terrifying experience. Ever.
When the house finally came into view, I let a breath of relief out and hopped off Alice once she stopped. My legs were still a tad wobbly from the run, so she steadied me before we began to walk up the porch steps.
Even before we had made it to the top, the door opened and a tall blond man smiled warmly at us…I swear he was a model of some sort, cause boy, was he ever gorgeous!
"It's lovely to see all of you again…and this must be Bella." He extended his hand to me, and I greatly shook it.
"And who might you be?" I asked kindly. He smiled at me, but I caught the quick peek he had towards Esme. Oh ya, they had some explaining to do once we got back home.
"I'm Carlisle. It's a pleasure to meet you. Now, come inside." We followed him into his home, and closed the door lightly behind us.
"Jasper, Emmett, Edward, we have guests." He said no louder than if he had been talking to us. I looked up in time to see a gorgeous blond heading towards Alice. They smiled at each other, and then he turned to me and shook my hand, introducing himself.
"I'm Jasper. Nice to meet you, Bella." I smiled back and was about to say something back, but immediately I was picked off the floor and was basically crushed into something extremely hard.
-"You must be Bellsy, I'm the adorable Emmett." I couldn't respond back, cause I was too busy gasping for air.
"Can't….breath!" I managed to get out. He dropped me down to the floor, but I instantly collapsed from the lack of oxygen. Anticipating the collision with the floor, I braced myself, but it never came. Instead, pair of strong arms was around me holding me securely to a stone chest.
I looked up and was met by a mesmerizing pair of topaz eyes…the same ones I had seen earlier. He smiled crookedly at me, a smile that instantly made my heart melt. He lifted me up, steadied me, but never tried to increase the distance between us.
"I'm Edward. It's a pleasure to meet you Bella…" He held out his hand, and I greedily shook it.
Well, there's chapter number 2. and if your wondering what song she was listening too, it was Sleepless night by Faber Drive. Anyway, REVIEW! :D
