Emotionless Love

Chapter Three: How Stupid Some People Can Be.

Normal POV (Third Person)

" Yo, been a long time hasn't it Edward?" asked the girl with long jet black and red eyes.

"Its you...how..." Edward gaped trying to complete a sentence.

"Its not 'you' it's Lina, considering you didn't ask for my name thirteen years ago" Lina corrected in a more annoyed tone.

" Thirteen years ago? Edward how do you know this girl?" Jasper asked feeling his confused emotion. Alice put her hand on his shoulder snapping him back to reality.

"She's...." he took a deep breath, "Bella's cousin" he answered still in daze.

"Was Bella's cousin. Member? She's dead." Lina stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"How are you a vampire? You were still human back then" Edward asked

"Long story, too much detail, save that for another time" she brushed off looking away.

"You were Bella's cousin?" Alice asked still in shock.

"Baby cousin actually but yeah I was." she started, " I was with her the when she, well killed herself" Lina said while staring at Edward with a displeased look.

"What was Bella like, when we left?" Emmett asked curious about his no longer little sisters life.

"A wreck. Like someone kept stabbing her with a hot knife over and over again. She seemed so, dead. It was hard to cheer her up. I remember one time I took her to this Italian restaurant I was curious of trying and in the middle of dinner, she started crying say his name again and again." Lina empathized "his" as in Edward.

'The restaurant we first went to...' Edward though feeling the sadness flow through him again, but worst.

"So we made her miserable? It was because of us..." Alice said cracking, almost on the verge of breaking down in dry sobs. Jasper wrapped his arm around her trying to calm her but couldn't do it too well because of the guilt he was feeling.

" Um, Alice was it?" Lina asked waiting for her nod, " I wouldn't blame yourself cause technically you're not to blame. Truthfully, the one to blame is that--"

"Lina." A male voice called at her cutting her off. She turned her head and looked at her partner dressed in the same coloured cloak and quickly shut herself up.

" Sorry, went a bit overboard there" she apologized.

Edward's POV

I couldn't agree more with her. I am to blame for Bella's death. I shouldn't have told her my feelings in the first place, I shouldn't have stayed in Forks. And because of that decision, it caused her death.

" What ever happen to Charlie?" I had completely forgotten about Charlie, how much he'll hate me now for what I've done to his daughter.

"Uncle Charlie eventually woke up from his coma, got out and years later he remarried and died a happy old man" Lina explained Charlie's life in one sentence. Yeah, bet he hated me til the very end for killing his daughter.

'Edward stop beating yourself up' I heard in Jasper's mind. He was sending me calm waves to help me relax. What could I say? 'Oh don't worry, I don't blame myself at all for the death of my only true love' Yeah, right.

Normal POV

As the party went on, Aro stood up and gently tapped on his glass calling upon everyone's attention. " Everyone, thank you for attending my five-thousandth birthday, it makes me feel like an eight year-old human child again" he joked making some chuckle at his joke, "Now lets bring on the gifts!" he shouted like a child on Christmas.

As vampires were presenting their gifts starting from the end of the room, Akira sensed something and straighten up in his chair.

"Hitomi, Van." he called his guards.

" Yes Akira-sama" both answered their master in unison.

"It seems we have some visitors coming from the east, and I'd hate for them to ruin the party. Hitomi, you and Lina will investigate this problem and if necessary, exterminate it." he ordered.

Before she could respond Carlisle couldn't help but cut in, "Perhaps my family could lend some assistance in this matter Akira." he offered

" Oh? What kind of assistance are we talking about?" Akira asked arching his thick eyebrows in interest.

"My son and daughter, Edward and Alice perhaps." he offered and said loud enough for them to hear and look up. " You see, my son Edward can hears one's thoughts and my daughter Alice and predict the outcome of ones plans."

"Are you sure about this Carlisle-san?"

"If it prevents unnecessary killing then yes, and they don't seem to mind either." he said getting their approval.

"Alright then, but I will still have two of my guards and other back up for protection, in case things get out of hand." And Akira motioned for Hitomi to do as ordered.

Before she was able to walk away, her partner caught her wrist.

"Daijoubou(Its ok)" she reassured him and gracefully drifted toward the table where that others sat.

"Honestly, why now of all times?" Lina complained getting up and putting on her hood. Hitomi quietly said something into Lina's ear and in result, made her stare wide-eyed at Edward and Alice, "You're coming too!?"

"Yup." Edward answered getting up. Alice looked at Jasper and they shared a heartfelt moment, staring into each others eyes. ' You better make sure she comes back unharmed Edward or I'll harm you, just worst.' Jasper threaten looking at Edward.

"Don't worry, I'll protect her but not in the over protective way you do it." Edward retaliated.

Lina looked at her partner and slid off her silver ring on her left hand, dropping it into his hand, " I'll be back for that later, better not lose it" she giggled and walked to Hitomi.

As all four vampire swiftly left the ballroom they rushed to the exit. Once all of them reached outside Lina threw two grey cloaks at them. Before they had a chance to ask she answered, " Our scents are on it, it will keep you guys safe"

"Safe from what?" Alice asked.

"Just safe and from confusion, just leave it at that please." Lina responded. Both females darted off east with Alice and Edward behind.

"Hitomi, I think its about time to call Kuro and Luna, just so we're ready" Lina informed. Hitomi nodded and took a deep breath and let out a high-pitch whistle.

' Kuro...and....Luna?' Alice and Edward both thought.

As the four were coming to the out-shirts of Italy Lina and Hitomi fell back to run right beside Edward and Alice. Edward looked at Alice and noticed that she was having a vision. He read into her mind and both of them came to a complete stop. Edward stood in front of Alice in a half-crouch ready to jump when a flash of blue appeared in front of him.

" Matte Kudasai (Please wait)" Hitomi said stopping him.

"What the hell? Does she not know whats here?!" Alice protested.

"Yes she knows whats here because she was the one who called them in the first place" Lina answered.

"Them?" Edward questioned not letting his eye wonder off the guard. Hitomi started walking toward the middle of the clearing when Edward was about to stop her. But Hitomi kept walking and Lina told him not to stop her.

Hitomi stood there staring into the direction everyone was facing and stared into the darkness of the trees. "Kinasai(come)" she called into the shadows. Out came tw large wolves walking towards her. The largest wolf, who was about half the size of Emmett, had dark midnight blue fur and had a 'x' shape scar on its chest. The small, leaner looking wolf had a rusty brown colour and had a blood red earing on its left ear. Both wolves stopped a foot away from Hitomi and started growling.

" Yamete Kuro, Luna. Watashi no Hitomi.(Stop that Kuro,Luna. Its me, Hitomi)" Hitomi said stretching her out her hand allowing her scent to blow towards them. Both wolves inhaled her scent and stepped closer to her.

Edward's POV

What the hell? Why isn't this girl defending herself?! I've never seen such wolves at such a size. Last time I've seen werewolves was at the LaPush reserve years ago.

And there's that scent again, freesia's. How is it every time this Hitomi is around I smell Bella? Its just a coincidence . This has nothing to do with that girl whatsoever. Bella hates me, she hates me to a point where she doesn't even want to see me in the after life.

'What the hell?!? She's letting them sniff her!?!' I heard Alice scream in her head. ' There's something strange about these wolves Edward, and I can't even see into anyone's future since we arrived!!'

Its strange how these wolves aren't attacking her, their obeying everything she says, like she's their master. Then Lina pushed past me arms wide open. Great, why not just give them a damn 'eat me' sign to shine over their heads.

" Yo Kuro-chan, Luna-chan, hisashiburi~ (long time no see)" Lina greeted them so...casually. How is it shes ok with this? These wolves simply bow their heads in respect. Normal wolves would be attacking them now, yet these two were so tamed.

"Ok guys listen up, we got a few unwelcome guests coming and the Cullens-" she motioned towards myself and Alice, " - are being kind enough to lead us some assistance." Lina stated as if we were a burden, " So your job is to keep safe and unharmed. If we go into a fight, protect them. No matter what kind of situation, don't let them leave your side or fight." Lina commanded them. Then she looked at the two of us, " Understood, Alice, Edward?"

We silently nodded and the Wolves start to shift towards us very cautiously and stared at us. The blue wolf looked at me with such intense eyes. Anger and hatred was portrayed across its face. I couldn't help but feel that if I let this wolf protect me he would kill me later.

"Oh chill out Edward Kuro won't hurt you." Lina said and at that very same moment, the wolf growled at me. Wonderful, I'm being 'protected' by a wolf that wants to rip my head off.

" Yamero Kuro (Cut it out)" Hitomi scolded in the background and the giant wolf stood upright.

The rusty brown looking wolf walked towards us very cautiously as if we're going to attack. As it stood there right there in front of us, I heard Hitomi let out a sigh and cursed that I couldn't read her mind. Why is it I can't? The only person that I couldn't read their mind was....Bella's. The wolf came closer to me and started sniffing me. I looked into its eyes and it had the same coloured eyes as Bella's, I literally almost melted at the site of its chocolate brown eyes. It reminded me of Bella so much it pained me. God, how I loved her chocolate orbs. I think the wolf felt my pain because it inched closer to mean and its eyes soften. It titled its head and let its tongue roll out. What am I suppose to do? The dark blue wolf stepped closer and released a quiet yet frightening growl.

" Kuro, Luna" Hitomi called and they returned to her.

"Well now," Lina said stretching her arms in the air, " lets put you two to work. Now Edward I want you to close your eyes and concentrate on a 200-mile radius and tell me if you hear anything weird. Alice, try and see if anyone suspicious looking is planning an attack or something."

I closed my eyes and concentrated on all the thoughts around me. I just realized, I can't hear Lina's thoughts either. Something about the Toudou's boggles my mind. Especially that Hitomi, everything about her is so....secretive. Every time she's around I get this faint scent of Bella. Lina fully translates what she's saying but I can clearing understand whats she saying. But that's not the point. If it wasn't for Lina I wouldn't of notice Hitomi at all, she really seems like a ghost. And she...no, I have to concentrate on whats at task first.

' Find them.....'

' The coloured cloaks.....'

Bingo. " There's nine of them." I started off looking at Alice, her face confused, almost frustrated,

" They keep changing their mind, first they decide to split up and then they don't damn it all!"

Normal POV

"Good job" Lina commented grinning.

"Lina." Her partner called looking straight ahead into the shadows.

The tanned vampire sniffed the air and frowned, " Her again?" she whined shifting her weight to her right and placing her hand on her hip. Hitomi took a step forward growling louder and louder as the 'un-invited guests' came within seeing distance.

" Edward. Alice. Stand perfectly still and remember what I told you." Lina warned them in a lifeless tone. Both wolves positioned themselves forming a 'V' like shape around the Cullens. Luna protecting Alice and Kuro protecting Edward.

"Aww, you can actually afford to come here to see me?" Lina said sarcasticly into the shadows of the trees.

"For you, no. For that bastard of a boyfriend of yours, anything." A female voice responded. Out stepped a women, about five foot four in size with long red hair. The moonlight highlighted her cream, pale skin and following behind her was eight bulky vampires. Each one had dark purple bags under their eyes and were ready to feed in an instant.

"Hey, hey, last time I checked he is mine" Lina responded in a more harsher tone.

" What, you can't share Lina?" the female spat with heavy sarcasm. And Hitomi snarled stepping forward.

" I. Don't. Share .Alexis." Lina stated angrily stopping Hitomi.

The female glanced over to where the wolves were and looked at me, "Oh whats this? Don't tell me you of all people have allies." Alexis faked her shocked expression.

"Leave them out of this Alexis" Hitomi curse in Japanese (my translations aren't that good only some small phrases will be in jap)

"Is little Hitomi-chan getting angry now?" The red head mocked, "Then there is some emotion in you"

'What the hell? We can actually help and yet they make us just stand here and do nothing! As if their treating us like, like humans!' Alice yelled into Edward's mind.

"They asked us not to interfere, and we agreed on that Alice" Edward responded staring at Hitomi's back.

From where he was standing he could hear their conversation but couldn't see Lina's or Hitomi's expressions.

"Enough chit-chat" Lina declared running towards Alexis. Two of Alexis' back-up jumped in front of her and Lina easily swept them away with a flick of her long slender finger. She then waved her arms about and the ground shifted at her will. It formed a mouth and engulfed the two attackers. A loud high pitch keen was heard and the ground shifted back into place. Alexis clapped and positioned herself into a crouch, "good job, what other magic tricks do you got?" and she lugged herself at Lina. Lina evaded her attack and created three large balls of soil and threw them at her. In result to that Alexis dodged two and destroyed the other.

" Have we improved our reflexes Lexi?"

"Ha. You haven't seen anything yet" Alexis threaten appearing behind the guard and started a physical combat.

Alice's POV

This is pissing the living life's out of me!! Its freakin' nine against two and yet here we are forbidden to help. Damn these wolves, the moment I even flinch this big brown fluff looks at me!!

And that Hitomi girl, she has freakin' four vampires on her case and she's not even calling for help!! What is wrong with these people?!

'Edward we can't just stand here, we have to do something" I screamed into my dear brothers head.

" You think this isn't hard on me too Alice? But we gave our word and even if we wanted to, do you honestly think these two will let us pass?" Edward titled his head at the two giant fluffs.

Edward's POV

"- But we gave our word and even if we wanted to, do you honestly think thesetwo will let us pass?" I said to my very angry sister. She really hates the fact that she can't see or do anything. And I agree. That Hitomi has four man surrounding her. Just by looking at her wolves you can tell they want to jump out and help. The blue wolf is just inching to find a reason to jump out and help his master.

Then I heard Alice gasped, she was having a vision. One of the vampires that was hiding in the trees and is going to attack Hitomi from behind. Shit. I can't let that happen!!

Normal POV

As the vampire descended from the shadows of the trees, Edward screamed, " Watch out!" and he started running towards the girl only to be flung back by Luna. Kuro beat him to the chase and ripped the vampire to shreds before it even touched her.

Meanwhile, Lina was still going at it with Alexis and couldn't seem to get far enough to use her gift without Alexis so to her. 'Damnit, Hitomi's getting ganged up on' she thought with worry and was trying to devise a plan to get her enough time away from Alexis to help her partner. 'Ok, there nine of them, two are in the ground, Kuro just killed one and Hitomi still has the four on her....wait, wheres the last one?!'

"Its a set up!" Lina screamed and Hitomi immediately understood. The moment Kuro broke out from Luna to help his master, the other vampire came flying out of the trees towards Edward, teeth bared. Luna whined deciding if she should help Edward, and risk Alice's safety.

"Go! Go help Edward!! Why aren't you listening to me mutt!! I SAID GO!!" Alice screamed at the confused wolf and pushed it.

" Shit" Hitomi muttered and dashed toward Edward. She ran faster than anyone there and the way things turned out it almost felt like someone pressed the slow motion button. The moment the vampire was a foot away from Edward Hitomi grabbed his collar and threw him at Luna's direction. Then a loud ripping noise was heard.

"HITOMI!"
