I have the next chapter ready! I got 7 reviews. Yay! And, as always, if you review, you get a sneak peak. :) I thought that this chapter was awfully fun, though the next one will be even better . . . I have finished the story now, and there will be 3 chapters after this one.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything twilight. Though I do own a copy of the Spamalot soundtrack and the Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie . . . and other Monty Python things . . .
"Baseball? Really?" I asked Edward incredulously. It was the weekend of the dance, and I wasn't going anywhere, so Edward decided that we should be doing something together.
"I thought you might enjoy seeing Vampires play baseball, it is quite the spectacle," he told me.
"I'm sure. But why tonight? Can't we just sneak off somewhere and spend time together? I really don't want to have anything to do with sports!" I complained.
"Alice wants you to be there," Edward told me dismissively
"Fine." I would go, but only because Alice and Edward wanted me to go. "One thing I don't get, why are we going to play if it's going to rain?" I asked him.
"I'm sure you'll find out when we start playing," Edward told me with his crooked grin.
"Okay then, I'll ask Charlie, and you can pick me up. It'll be the first time he meets me, after I've told him you're my boyfriend and all of that.... Anyway, I'm hungry, so why don't you come with me as I raid my refrigerator."
Edward laughed at me and followed me down the stairs. I went to the fridge and pulled open the door and I looked around, sadly, there was nothing much there that I wanted to eat. I looked around a bit longer and I triumphantly pulled out a half eaten sandwich I had made two nights ago. It hadn't been finished, so I stuck it in a bag and up it in the fridge to keep it good in case I had an episode like this.
"You know, human food smells absolutely disgusting to me," Edward told me.
"Of course. But I, for one, think that human food smells amazing, most of the time, and tastes even better than it smells, most of the time. The only exception to the goodness of food is cafeteria food, on some days at least," I replied before a took a big bite out of the delicious sandwich I was holding between my hands.
Once I had finished, I moved to the phone, I needed to call Charlie and make sure that I could go to the baseball game. I picked up the phone and called him, "Um, hi dad. I was wondering if it would be okay if I went to play baseball with the Cullen's, Edward is able to pick me up."
"Sounds fine. I'll talk to you when I get home," Charlie replied.
I set the phone down and turned to Edward, "Now, what are we going to do for the rest of the day?"
"I don't know," he said walking towards me, "I'm fine with whatever you want to do."
"I'm not sure what I want to do. I would like to not go play baseball, it looks like it's going to storm tonight, anyway," I told him when he was right next to me.
Edward laughed, "Well, it won't be raining where we'll be playing."
"Good. Because I hate getting rained on." I contorted my face so that my dislike was displayed quite obviously.
Edward just laughed at me again. "It won't be so bad," he said as he wrapped his arms around my waist, "I'll be there."
"Because that makes baseball so much better," I told him, rolling my eyes even though he couldn't see me.
"You've never seen vampires play baseball before," he pointed out.
"Okay, okay, I get your point," I turned around to face him, "But what are we going to do before Charlie comes over and shoves me off to go sit in the rain and watch vampires play baseball?"
"Any ideas?" he asked me giving me his delicious crooked grin.
"I have a few..." I trailed off as I stood on my toes to press my lips to his .... and then the phone rang. I sighed in frustration. Great mood ruinner, Mr. Phone.
"I better get that," I mumbled and moved to pick up the phone. "Hello?" I asked into the phone.
"Are you safe?" a voice I didn't recognize said.
"What?" I asked.
"I said, are you safe? Something bad is going to happen soon, and I need to know if you are safe," the voice said to me again.
"Who is this?" I asked, starting to get freaked out a bit.
"It doesn't matter right now, I just need to know that you're safe, tell me," the voice said.
"I'm fairly certain I'm safe."
"Good." The phone hung up. I put the phone down, feeling strange. What had just happened there? Who had called me? Why would someone call me and ask me if I was safe, especially when I had no idea who they were. I turned to face Edward still trying to figure out what had just happened. Why would someone who I had never met, call me and ask if I was safe? That just doesn't happen.
"Are you okay?" Edward asked me when he saw that I was thinking hard, and still a little shaken.
"I think I will be, but that was just so bizarre," I told him, a shudder passing through my body, and then the anxious feeling I had had was gone.
"Well, then I think we'll just have to occupy our time some way or another." Edward picked me up and carried me to the we spent a lovely day, laughing, talking, kissing - which was my favorite part, and attempting to fly. When it was time for me to get back, so I would be home when Charlie came back, Edward once again carried me without my consent back to my house. He set me down in my living room, kissed my forehead lightly and was gone. Two seconds later Charlie walked through the door.
"Hey dad," I said as I made my way to the kitchen, "I thought I'd make you a sandwich before I left for the game." My hands moved as quickly as they could to throw together a sandwich so I would be with Edward all that much sooner, even though it meant baseball was in tow.
"Hm. I guess you really like this guy, he's getting you to play baseball! I thought I'd never see the day when you would do something sports related willingly," he said as I placed the sandwich before him.
The doorbell rang behind me. "I'll get it, it's probably Edward here to pick me up."
Sure enough it was Edward, and behind him was the biggest truck I had ever seen. Emmett waved to me from the drivers seat. I had to physically force myself from letting my jaw drop and it the floor with a bang. Edward pulled me out of my stunned stupor, and pulled me inside to talk to Charlie.
"I hope you don't mind us taking Bella to play baseball," he started.
"I'm not one to stop you. Anyone that can get her to be play any sport willingly is something else. Just don't let her injure herself," Charlie said to him.
"I'll be sure to take good care of her," Edward said, and with those words we left the house and were off to play baseball. This would be quite interesting.
Edward set me in the giant-thing-that-you-can't-describe and buckled me in spite my complaints. I even said that I would rather fly there than have to be trapped in the truck. He rolled is eyes at me and sat next to me in the back. Emmett revved the engine and we were off. We drove through the words, as I was bouncing up and down to the point where I was getting really annoyed. All of a sudden we stopped, and out of the giant-thing-that-you-can't-describe.
"We go on foot from here," Edward told me.
"Alright, we can walk," I said.
"It's faster for you just to hitch a ride with me," Edward said. (Emmett was already long gone)
"Oh, fine," I said, giving in. Edward smiled widely and swung me up and onto his back. It only took a couple of seconds, and we were there. Edward set me down and we walked together across the field where every one else was waiting.
"Esme," Edward said, "Would you sit out with Bella?" He asked.
"Sure, you know I don't mind. And besides, someone needs to be sure you're playing fair," she said with a smile.
So I stood by the sidelines and prepared myself for vampire baseball. The two teams started off, Alice was pitching and Emmett was batting. And they were off, I didn't even see the ball move, but I heard what sounded like a crack of thunder coming from where Emmett was standing and Edward ran off into the woods to catch the ball. Emmett got out. The game went on for awhile, stunning me into silence because of fast pace of things. Suddenly they stopped.
"What is it?" I asked.
"There is a pack of vampires coming, three of them I think," Alice replied, "I thought that they would be far away enough so they wouldn't hear us."
"It'll be fine, we just need to cover Bella up, disguise her sent," Esme said, keeping thins rational. Edward proceeded to place his baseball cap and jersey on me. They all formed a blob in front of me, making sure that I would be protected even if something went horribly wrong. I watched as out of the words three vampires, with red eyes, walked calmly over to us.
They stood in a triangle before us, and the one at the point spoke, "I am Laurant, this here is Victoria and James. Any room for a few more players?"
Edward was tense, looking at the one named James, he was worried things would turn for the worse. "We were just leaving, so sorry," Calisle replied. Just then a gust of wind blew past me, headed towards the red-eyed vampires.
"You've brought a snack," James said, his eyes set on me. The Cullen's became defensive, feral, ready to attack if they tried to threaten me.
"We do not hunt as you do," Calisle explained, "We live among the humans, so we would appreciate it if you would take you're hunting somewhere else, seeing that we need to keep our cover if we wish to stay here any longer."
James head shot up, all three of them locked eyes, "We must be going anyway, have a nice day." They ran away this time, leaving the Cullen's and I slightly confused. Then Edward spoke, "We have to get you away from here."
"No. You don't," I told him.
"You don't understand, once he locks on to a prey, he will stop at nothing to get it, we have to keep you safe until he's eliminated," Edward said.
"But right now we're not going anywhere," I said, my voice worried.
"Why?" Edward asked.
"Because we're under attack," I said casually.
~ ~ ~ ~ I though I would end it here, but I'm not that mean.
The Cullen's looked at me like I was crazy. I just sighed. "Get into the center of the field, they're on the edge of the woods, we would have to fight our way out anyway, but standing here in the middle where there is no way for them to sneak up on us, we have the advantage," I informed them.
They still looked skeptical. "We should do as she says, I smell a strange sent right now, it may be what she's referring to. Better safe than sorry," Carlisle said, and the group moved to the middle.
"What are we being attacked by?" Rosalie asked me with a sneer in her voice.
"Red goblins. They hunt in large groups, thousands upon thousands are headed this way. We'll have to be careful. Don't let them get their claws in you, those are able to pierce any sort of skin, except that of a thousand-year-old pixie, so, as you can see, we all could be mangled in this fight," I said, crouching, ready for the impending attack.
"You're sure this is going to happen?" Edward asked me.
I nodded, "Look at the edge of the woods, you can see them advancing there."
The Cullen's all looked and sure enough they saw them there, slowly making their way towards us. James and his group had left just in time to avoid the attack. The goblins advanced slowly, gnashing their teeth and letting their claws drag on the ground. The Cullen's looked like they didn't believe me when I told them about the claws being able to pierce almost all types of skin. They were twenty feet away when twenty-four inch long claws came out of my hands, three on each hand. The Cullen's looked at me.
"What? It's another perk of being a Pixie," I told them.
"On three . . .," I said, "One...Two... THREE!" And we all went to work. I charged into the masses of goblins, slicing them in half, dismantling ten at a time, keeping a decent perimeter of safety around me. I took out a good two hundred before I saw that some of the Cullen's were in trouble. My wings shot out and I flew over to them, picking them up (my claws had retracted) and bringing them to a place where their were less goblins. The first Cullen I had to help was Rosalie, luckily, she took my help. Once I had set her down, my claws came right back out and flying low, I just glided over them, letting my claws rip apart as many of the goblins as I could while I headed right over to the Esme.
I repeated this process over and over again. I helped Emmett, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, and even Edward. There were a few left one for each of us, I disposed of mine at the exact same time all the rest did, my breath was heaving. When out of the woods came more goblins, this time their skin was green. The Cullen's tensed.
"No. They won't do anything. They just want to talk," one of them - the one that seemed to be the leader walked over. I was feeling a little dizzy, the fight had taken a lot out of me.
"I am Dodge, the leader of this clan of goblins, we were hunting that group and trying to tear them down. They have been disturbing the natural wildlife in this area. We are sorry that we could not come here in time to help, though we thank you for achieving this goal for us," he said very politely.
"No problem," I said.
"Ah, a pixie I see. A young one, too. You are destined for great things, though there will me many challenges. I wish you luck. And to the rest of you, I think we better have a good long talk, it seems that you have a problem of your own, maybe we can help in return."
"That's be gr-" and I passed out - exhausted - into Edwards arms.
The Book of Creatures:
Deamons:
Deamons are generally quite moody creatures, though that is not entirely a bad thing. When they have something they want to protect, there is nothing that can stop them except for death. Also, if they want to kill someone, love someone, or do anything that has a powerful emotion behind it, they become almost virtually unstoppable. Also, Deamons are able to shape shift, the most common form for them is the shadow form, as they use in battle. They can become any shape, animal, plant, and even other mythical creatures that they wish to be. Deamons are very dangerous creatures to be around, for if you make one little slip with your words, it could mean your death.
Even though I have finished the story I still need your reviews, seeing as it boosts my moral and gives me the motivation to keep expanding the story, and maybe I'll be able to muster a squel or somthing after this story is finished . . . I don't know. But it won't even be a possiblity if you guys don't show me the lurv! All I'm asking is for a review, even one word makes my day! So, take those two seconds out of your life to review, and if you do, you not only make me happy, but you get a sneak peek! So how is that a hard thing to do?
