An Unwanted Fate
Chapter 2
A most strange event.
Bella's P.O.V.
Running to the café was the hardest thing to do ever. Even though it was only about 200
metres away, having five vampires that have to stay secret , and not show their gleaming
bodies, is a very hard event. Whilst trying to stick to the shadows, there were so many
people that I knew, people that remembered me, people that grabbed my hands and tried
to pull me into the sun. But the problem was that I had to push past them and see their
faces crack with hurt and rejection.
As we reached the café, we saw Luci standing out the front. I glanced up at Alice, to see
her reaction to see Luci, and she had a huge grin on her face. And it was the same with
Edward. They let go of my hands, and Edward put his arms around my waist. He
whispered into my ear.
" It's going to be okay, Bella. There is nothing to be afraid of! She cant hurt you.
I'll tell you about her in a little while."
" You sure?"
" Yes Bella, I am sure," he said " I really wish that you could see what Alice saw.
Very prominent future for you my dear." And with that, he pulled me into the cool café.
Right at the back, in the darkest part of the room, of course. We all pulled up chairs plus
an extra one for Luci. The seating was arranged like this starting with Carlisle, and then
to the left was Emmett, then Alice, Jasper, Luci, Me, and then Edward. It was silent. Luci
was the first to speak.
"So… how did come across these guys Bella?"
" Well I actu-" I started, but then Carlisle cut me off
" We just wanted to ask you a few questions first Luci. How old are you?"
" My 17th birthday is next week," she replied.
" Can we please have your actual age, or the year that you were born." Carlisle
asked in a firm but calm voice.
" But Bella is at the table, and we ha-" and Carlisle cut her off.
" She already knows what we are, and no we didn't tell her. And we aren't going
to eat her either. We are 'vegetarians'. So please answer our questions. You have no
excuses, about anything because you invited yourself along. Continue."
"Okay, okay! No need to get narky! I was born in 1832, so this year I will be 168.
I will be having my birthday next week, and you are all welcome to join me in the feast
that I and my friends will be having." Alice replied in a disgusted voice, after seeing
Jaspers eyes light up.
" No thankyou, we wouldn't like to accept your invitation," and I saw that Alice
glanced over at Jasper, only to see his face fall a little, so she continued. " As Carlisle
said, we are vegetarians. So the human is with us, no ideas. K?"
" Sure! I wasn't planning on eating her anyway, and my clan and I are also non
human eaters. I can't bear the smell of blood…to me its almost rusty. My black eyes are
due to the fact that I haven't had anything to eat for about three days, " she said, and
almost immediately, everyone stared at her, except for Alice and Edward. They were
grinning their perfect little heads off. They were obviously already in on the whole thing.
Luci continued " But Bella here, her blood is almost tempting. Although I wouldn't even
try to hurt her. I envied her in school. What with her pale skin, but her still being able to
go outside in the sun. I miss that the most…" Everyone, apart from me looked down. I
could see that it was some kind of vampire mourning thing, so I kept quiet .When they
looked up I took the opportunity to ask my questions.
" How the hell did you just disappear earlier on?! Were you just running or… or
was it something from when you were a human that helped in that process?" Luci just
started laughing. I glared at her, so she stopped to answer.
"I didn't disappear at all. That group of tourists that were there, you remember?" I
nodded in answer, wondering. "They walked past just as I was going to leave, so I took
my opportunity, and snuck into the middle of them. It was only to hide me from the sun,"
she added. Emmett and Jasper started laughing.
" What? Well I really didn't need to hide from the sun though, I just wanted to
confuse you," she told us. I was now really annoyed. Well actually, I was flabbergasted.
" But how come you can live here?" I said. " I mean, how come you can go
outside in the daylight?"
" Oh! Well see how I am slightly brown? I used a fake tan to try and fit in at
school," she said. " and all my friends know-" and Jasper cut her off.
" You haven't told your friends what you are, did you? Because if the Volturi
found out… owww! Alice!" Alice whacked him over the head and glanced at Luci to
continue.
" As I was saying… all my friends know that I don't like to go out in the sun, so
for a prank one day they decided to play a game of truth or dare. And of course I was
going to pick dare, so they told me I had to go out in the sun, or face telling them my
biggest secret. Either way I was going to tell them I was different," Luci told us with a
grin. " so this is how it went…
Luci's P.O.V.
' "Truth or dare Luci?" Mandy said with an evil glint in her eye. I could tell that she had
something big planned for me. But what to choose... " Dare," I said with as much
confidence that I could muster up.
"You have to go out into the sun, or face telling us your biggest secret if you don't
do that." They all said it in unison. In my mind I was going ' oh crap crap crap crap!!!'
" Fine!" I said, and stood up, and went to the edge of the shade, shaking. Shaking
because I knew that if I did this…well…It kind of meant the end of me, or the end of all of
my friends mortal lives. I closed my eyes stepped forward and waited for a gasp.
" Are you chicken? Or are doing truth?" Mandy said. I opened my eyes, and I
saw that I was still about a metre away from the sun. rewind that last thought for now
please! This time I left my eyes open, looking straight forward, and took two steps into
the sun.
" Finally!!!" and then they all screamed and stared at me, with a shocked look
on their faces.
