Chapter 5
Shock
Oh, no.
I was looking at my reflection in the mirror. What I saw was definitely not a pretty sight. My gorgeous mahogany hair was a dull, brown colour, and lay in tangled knots all over the place. I tried to brush it, but to no avail. My brush was stuck to the side of my head, giving proof to my failure. I tried to think of the cause of the bird's nest that was my hair, but all I remember was waking up from a terrifying nightmare. There had been magic in it, and a hooded figure, but that was all my mind could conjure up at this moment.
I wrestled the brush out of my hair, and tried to brush my it again. I screamed. It was hopeless!
"Nessie? Nessie!?" my mom called frantically, "Are you all right?" she came to stand by the bathroom door.
"Oh! What happened to you?"
"Mom! Just help me with my hair!" I yelled uncontrollably.
"Hold on sweetie, I'm gonna call Alice--" she was interrupted by another voice.
"NESSIE!" Alice reached the bathroom and stared at me, her mouth forming a round 'O' in shock, "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?"
"I--" but she wouldn't let me finish. She grabbed a large pink professional-looking hairbrush and some kind of spray out of a leather bag that I didn't notice she had before. She stood behind me and started playing hairdresser. She brushed and sprayed for less than a minute, then stepped back to evaluate what she had accomplished in record time.
"All done!" she said, clapping her hands together. I looked into the mirror for the millionth time today, and gasped.
"This-this is absolutely amazing! Alice, you should work in a salon!" my hair was flowing naturally down my back in slight, cute waves. She used some sort of cream to bring out my natural bronze highlights, and my hair was literally…glowing! It was funny how my aunt was always here whenever I needed her.
"Thank you, thank you so much! I was having the worst hair day ever! I love you!" I said while engulfing her in a hug. I seem to be giving a lot of hugs lately.
She chuckled, "I know, I'm the best."
Someone coughed.
"Oh, hi Bella! I didn't see you there; I was busy trying to fix Nessie's hair," said Alice, then she gasped as she took in my mom's appearance, "Oh, my, Bella! I need to do something with your hair!" she squealed.
"Er, um," stuttered mom, I knew how she hated Alice's ways, "oh, um, Nessie, I'll go make you some breakfast." Then she turned around and dashed away to the kitchen.
"Hmph," Alice grunted.
"It's alright, mom just doesn't know how good you are with style." At this, Alice broke into a wide grin.
"Thanks Ness! Now I need to get back, Jasper is going hunting."
"Bye Ali, thanks for fixing my disaster." I watched as she skipped out the front door, taking all her beauty supplies with her. The house became really quiet with her gone, it was like Alice took her happiness with her when she left. I walked to the kitchen, and expected to see mom making breakfast. Instead, her and dad were just getting ready to leave.
"We are going hunting," said dad, answering my unspoken question.
"Can I come too?" I asked. Mom nodded. We ran into the forest, away from our home, away from the Cullens, and most importantly, away from the humans who may be in danger from us.
I didn't have a very good hunt, but I managed to take down a small mountain elk, which was enough for now. I sunk my sharp teeth into the hot spot on its neck, and as I started draining the struggling animal, I thought about the upcoming day. Tomorrow was the day Hagrid was going to come and take us to buy all my school supplies, and I was very excited. Finally, I'd be able to see what a wand looked like, and what uniform I would be wearing. The list had said some sort of robes, and Alice hated the sound of that. She wanted to personally spice up my school wear when I bought them, but I wouldn't let her.
"It's a school policy, Alice," I had told her. She just scowled at me in return.
I wonder where Hagrid was going to take us. I mean, wouldn't people suspect something if they walked into a shop that sold spellbooks? Wands? Wizard robes? Or even owls? And, as far as I know, I've never come across any stores like those, which was weird considering the fact that Alice has taken me to every store on the face of this planet.
"Ness, are you done yet?"
"Oh," I said, snapping back to reality, "right, sorry." I quickly drained the remains of my elk, and followed them back out the woods, and into the open.
As we reached the house, I asked, "Mom, Dad? Who's going to be coming with us when we go with Hagrid?"
"Well, I wanted Carlisle to come, and Alice would die if we didn't let her come," dad replied.
"But if Alice comes, it means that Jasper will come, too," said mom.
"Which means that Emmett and Rose will want to come, too," I mumbled.
"Why don't we just ask Hagrid if it's possible to have all of us there? I mean, I'm guessing everyone wants to know what the wizarding world is like." Dad and I nodded, agreeing with her.
Later, I asked if I could go and hang out with Alice and Jake for the rest of the day. My dad, hearing the word, Jake, hesitantly agreed to let me leave. I skipped merrily towards the beige mansion, and knocked on the door. I was let in by Esme.
"Edward told us you were coming by," she said, "I'm trusting you need a phone?" she asked. I just smiled as she handed me her small silver cellphone. I dialed the familiar number, and my heart warmed at the deep, husky voice.
"Hello?" it said.
"Hi Jakey!"
"Oh, hey Ness! What's up?"
"Could you come over? To the Cullens?" I said, "I miss you, it's been ages since I've last seen you." Actually, that was a lie, the last time I saw him was last week, but it seemed like ages to me.
Jake chuckled, and said, "Ok honey, I'll be there in a jiffy." He hung up. As I was waiting for him, I ran upstairs to see what Alice and Rose where doing. I stopped at Rose's room. As I was about to lift my hand up to knock, I heard desperate moaning coming from the other side, and decided against it. I've already seen Rose and Emmett naked enough for my own good. They don't bother in hiding their affection towards each other. I bet the door wasn't even locked.
So, leaving them to their 'moment', I skipped to Alice's room, and was disappointed when I found she wasn't there. I walked in and sat on her bed. Looking over towards her little desk, I noticed a drawing on it. I moved in closer.
It was what appeared to be the inside of a house. There was a woman in the picture holding a little baby. The baby was wrapped in a bundle of blankets, and the woman had her mouth open. She looked like she was screaming in pain.
That wasn't the part that was troubling me though. The terrifying part of this picture was the hooded figure that stood opposite the lady. He was pointing a white wooden stick at her, and I saw his thin, white hand. Jets of green light was blasting from the stick's end. They were directed at the woman.
Even more frightening, I have seen this before. I don't know where, or how. But I knew that I have seen it somewhere. I was now lying on the bed, shaking with fear. This was how Jake found me.
"Nessie? Nessie? Are you ok? What is it?" he asked desperately. I snapped out of it.
"Um, I'm fine Jake. I'm fine," I whispered. I hugged him tight, glad that he was here.
"Ok, honey," he said, knowing that I wasn't going to say anymore. He wrapped his arms tightly around me. I relaxed, knowing that I was safe in his warm arms. We sat there, still embraced, and started talking. I asked him about how the pack was doing, and he asked me about my feelings about Hogwarts. I begged him to come shopping with us, and he agreed after five minutes of puppy-dog pleading. By the time I got home, I had forgotten all about my nightmare, and Alice's frightening drawing. I jumped into bed and dozed off, not bothering about the moans coming from next door.
He was walking past the houses, down the dark, eerie road. He stopped at one of them, and walked up to the gate. Pushing the gate forwards, he sauntered to the front door.
"Lily! Take Harry! Take Harry and run! I'll try to fight him off. RUN!" I heard a man scream frantically. I didn't know what to do, then I felt something in my arms, and looked down to see a baby. Truth downed on me. I was Lily.
I started running, and heard my husband's scream. I knew that was the last I'll ever hear of him again. I hugged the baby closer to me.
A hooded figure stopped me in my tracks.
"Not Harry," I said, "Not Harry, please not Harry!"
"Stand aside, you silly girl…stand aside, now…"
"Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead—" I don't know why I wanted to save the child I didn't even know, but I knew I had to.
"Not Harry! Please…have mercy…have mercy…" I was panting, I knew my breaths were numbered. I heard his shrill laughing. Then something stabbed me in the middle. I screamed, and fell to my death.
The last thing I saw was a blinding green light.
This chapter was kinda fun to write. I had this idea of connecting her with Harry somehow, so I had to get it down quick.
I'm kinda upset that voldemort *flinch* is dead, cuz I wanted to add some evil stuff in... So i mite twist the story a bit... :P Hope you don't get TOO mad at me...
And don't worry, the romance is coming soon, you just have to keep up with me! :) Thanks for those who are already doing that!
I will answer all questions in the next chapter. Toodles. And don't forget to hit that green review button :) CHEERS!
