Chapter 7: Who?
"Umm, Tanya's clan?" I asked.
Jasper gave a long sigh. That's never a good way to start anything.
"Tanya, Kate, Irina, Carmen and Eleazar, the Denali Coven." Chuck said.
"Or as I like to call them, the bitches." Rose snarled.
"Rosalie!" Esme said appalled at her language. I laughed.
"Sorry, but have you ever had to fight off Tanya for Carlisle?" Rose asked.
"Like you should be talking," Edward scoffed.
"I see." I said.
"Edward that might not be the greatest idea." Alice said discreetly looking over at Chuck and back to me.
"Bite me Alice, as I recall the last time they came over you and Jasper went on a spur of the moment trip to, where was it, oh ya Nunavut." Edward said.
Then we were all laughing.
"When are they coming?" Chuck asked her.
"Tomorrow." And they all groaned.
"Well we better hunt, and then clean." Esme said.
"Will do; come on Edward, irritable grizzly season." Emmett yelled with excitement.
"Rose we'll have to set up the empty rooms which means shopping." Alice said.
"I'll stay." Melanie sighed. "Bella sweetie, do you want to come upstairs with me?" She asked, and I wasn't one to refuse my mom.
"Ya mom, of course," I said.
"I'll see you girl later." Chuck said then took off with the other guys. And we were alone.
"Follow me." Mel said, as she led me up three flights of stairs.
Once we got to the third floor, she pulled me into a room. It was my style of room. There was an overly large bed, it was about the size of three king beds and then some. It had black silk sheets, a red comforter, and many pillows of both colours. The walls were painted blood red with a black vine pattern reach from on corner of the room to the other. The carpet was black, and there were sheer black curtains stretching over the glass wall. The wall opposite to the bed had two black doors which led to a walk-in closet and a bathroom.
"Wow" I said, awe struck for the second time that day.
"You like?" Melanie asked me.
"Ya, it's so…vampire." I said, she giggled the sound of rain falling on a diamond bell.
"I thought so I wanted at least one room to reflect the real us in the house, plus I just couldn't resist painting the vine pattern." She admitted as she flopped on the huge bed sending some pillows flying.
"You painted it?" I said looking at the intricate vine pattern in a new light.
"Ya I'm good at art, but that doesn't matter right this moment. Come sit," she said, and I did. "I want to know my daughter, and that kiss she shared with this house's most eligible bachelor?" she said.
My mouth fell open. How did she know?
"Edward was not hiding anything from me, I can't read minds like he can, but I can however see the guilt coming off of him." She said.
"See it?" I asked eyes wide.
"Yes see it, it's a pretty blue colour, but that's beside the fact, I was able to see that even when I was human, only to him though." She told me with a smile.
"Wait when you were human, with him?" I asked.
"He's my best friend." Oh, hell.
"Bells relax we became best friends in the hospital when we were dying from the influenza. We've never been more than best friends, or as your generation calls it now friends with benefits." She told me with her pearly white teeth glimmering in a breath taking smile. That smile made me feel more comfortable around her, not that I wasn't already.
"I hardly know you, tell me about yourself." She told/begged me.
I sat on the bed next to her and told her the same thing I told Edward.
"…I've might've been better if Dad put me in an orphanage." I finished. I looked behind me since she was braiding my hair.
I saw the tears, that couldn't be shed, shine in her eyes.
"Oh, Bella I would've never…if I knew, I didn't…it was…" I looked at her again and I realized she thought this was her fault.
I pulled her into a hug and she hugged me back with just as much emotion.
"I don't hold this against you mom. It's not your fault." I said.
She gave a weak laugh, and said "Bella you make me feel old when you say that."
"Mom you are old." I told her. She laughed again.
"Well at school you're going to have to call me Mel. That at least won't make me feel that old." She joked and I laughed.
"Tell me about you now." I said as she went back to braiding my hair.
"It's a long story, are you sure you want to know, won't your family want you home." She said with the same amount of sarcasm I would have used.
I looked at the black wall clock that blended in with wall and the vine pattern.
It read that it was a quarter to five. "I guess I should go, promise me you'll tell me though, about yourself?" I asked.
"Of course I will Bella you're my daughter. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, I wouldn't do for you." Mel told me with love.
"Here I'll drive you it's been too long since I got to drive my Rolls." She said grabbing a set of keys off the bedside table that had a stack of different sized black candles; it went well with the black chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and with the coffee table with the same different sized black candles, that was in front of the coffin couch, which was in front of the bed. I got off the bed reluctantly; I didn't want to leave this room, I didn't want to leave my mom, hell, I never wanted to leave.
I followed her to the garage, and there it was the perfect car for her, a red Rolls Royce. It was beautiful.
"No way!" I said with a brilliant smile "You drive that."
"You like?" She said as she started it up. I got in the passenger side. And she revved the engine a couple times, the pulled out of the drive way with a smirk on her face.
(An: I considered stopping here, but I owe you guys for being so great.)
"Bella we're going to take a short trip to Newton outfitters." I gave her a questioning look.
"Mike Newton should know we're friends, right?" I nodded still with a confused expression on my face.
"You still don't get it, do you?" I shook my head.
She laughed. "Well you see, this Mike Newton fellow, well he's a creep, he'll start probably stalking you pretty soon, but I always love flaunting what he can't have. He used to try to stalk Rose, and then Alice, and then, believe this, Esme, and then finally me."
"Ew, seriously, he's a perv." I said. She smiled.
"He got really creeped out by me, I'm the most shall we say, vampire-ic of the family, as your dad and mine's room suggests, he's a little freaked out by me." She grinned evilly. I had I feeling I was missing something. "But that's another story for another day."
I smiled and asked "So we're paying him a visit?" She nodded excitedly.
So we made the quick stop at Newton's Olympic Outfitters.
I saw Mike staring at the car his jaw already dropped, but then Melanie got out with the red and black heels, fish net stockings, layer skirt that rips in it, and red tank top. Her honey blonde hair, I thought would have never went with her gothic appearance, but I was wrong. I got out and Melanie linked her arm through mine and we went into the store.
"Hello Mrs. Newton." Melanie waved at the woman who looked like she really didn't want to talk to Mel. Nor that she belonged there.
"Oh, hello Melanie, so you and Bella are friends?" She said looking over to Mike to save her.
"The best, -" Mel said but before she could get anything else out. Mrs. Newton pretended her cell phone rang, and that was Mike's queue.
"Hello ladies" Mike said with the most disturbing smile.
