Disclaimer: Nope, I still don't own anything.
So this chapter gets a long dedication to my good friend (the most annoying person I know) flutterby818 because I said I would post this for her birthday and I didn't. I am a lazy person. Get over it. So this is as long as the dedication will last because I don't have anything else to say to her. ………? Oh wait! I would like to say that she is the best motivational person ever at making people write stuff. She convinced me with her constant nagging to post this by today (Saturday).
Also, I would like to make a special thanks to FeatherDeath because even though she (I'm going with that because she is obsessed with Edward Cullen) didn't review, she alerted my story. She is the first person that isn't my friend (that I know of) that is reading this story. So lots of claps for this person. Yes I'm cheap because I don't give out cookies.
Also, the only reason this is posted later than the day it was supposed to be posted is because my friend was bothering me about it and I felt like doing this just to spite her. So, if you have an account, go spam her author page. It's flutterby818 remember. She's also on my favourite author list. Go spam her, have some fun. J
WOAH! Did you see that? I just meant to go : ) but it made a smiley face. That just made my day. Alright, enough babbling and on with the story, chapter thing.
A Psychiatrist's House
Step 3: The Sky Is ORANGE!
(Part 1 of 'Balls of Steel')
Last Time: "And now we wait…" Emmett trailed off in an eerie voice as the two vampires sat against the wall at one side of the room and the werewolves sat against the wall at the other side of the room with Bella, lying on the couch, in the middle.
"Arrggg!!" Growled Jacob, "I'm so hungry."
"Well too bad," Edward snarled back from across the room, "We have to wait for Bella to wake up."
Paul looked from Bella on the couch, to Jacob beside him and to Edward against the opposite wall. "Okay, since we all know vampires don't eat and we, meaning Jacob and I, need to eat, I suggest that we should be able to go to the kitchen to eat while you and Emmett stay here."
"That sounds pleasant, Paul." Emmett said in a proper voice. The other three stared at him. He had moved to the armchair, sitting with one ankle behind the other, back straight and hands placed delicately on his knee. He turned his head slowly, looking each of the boys directly in their eyes. When he looked in their eyes, they flinched because his eyes weren't their normal gold-to-black colour.
"Why are his eyes gray?" Questioned Paul, frightened.
Any answer that might have come was cut short as Emmett let off a mighty cackle. He jumped up, ran into the wall and fell, unconscious. An angry green mist whisked out of his chest, or to be most specific his heart, and was absorbed into the ceiling, leaving the room silent, except for the echoing, cruel laughter.
Recap (Again): The girl looked human, but she looked in love with Felix. Felix was a bloodthirsty vampire that hated humans, didn't he? Felix stroked her cheek and whispered back, "Happy Birthday".
The girl put her forehead on Felix's chest and breathed in deep (The first time I wrote this I spelt 'dead'. No idea where that came from)and exhaled while sighing. She looked completely comfortable in Felix's arms. It was strange for Bella to see another vampire with a human. It made her feel…almost jealous. But why should she feel jealous? After all, she had Edward and Jacob, a vampire and a werewolf. There wasn't anything more she needed. If that was true, then why did she feel like there was more of a spark between Felix and the girl, then there was with her and Edward. Edward was the one that made her fall head over heels, the one that would make her heart stop, literally, and the one that stopped her very breathe. She was infatuated with Edward, yet something in the way they held each other made it seem like her and Edward were merely high school sweethearts, while the girl and Felix were forbidden lovers that would stay together no matter what. It made Bella think about what she really wanted. Do I really want all this? Do I really want to give up my friends, both human and werewolf, and live with the Cullen family, forever? Before she could think anymore she heard voices calling.
"Bella, are you awake yet," a smooth, silky voice called to her from beyond the dream.
"Of course she's not awake yet, dolt," a second voice interrupted, "If she was, then I'm pretty sure she would be talking and walking and her eyes would be open." He sounded a bit frustrated.
Bella drifted away from the forest, into the calm emptiness of blackness. Soon she felt her body land and her eyes began to open.
Bella slowly opened her eyes. This felt oddly familiar. She was waking up, lying on a poop coloured couch and having two guys arguing about something.
"This is all your fault, Jacob," she heard Paul shout. This shocked Bella. Why would Paul be yelling at Jacob?
"It isn't my fault. How many times do I have to tell you? I wasn't the one that made you come into the house." Jacob tried to defend himself.
Bella looked at the two boys. Jacob was standing by the armchair, looking away from Bella, and staring at Paul, who was kneeling beside a dark lump. Paul stood up and strode towards Jacob. "You were the one to bring up this house and I (Stop poking me with a gecko) only came in to help get you out. So, yes, it is your fault." Paul started to shake. He looked really upset.
"Paul!" yelled Edward as he stood up from sitting beside the radio thing. "Calm down!" Paul continued to shake. Jacob tried to calm him down but it was no use. Paul's entire frame shook. Bella knew there was only one thing to do. She had to valiantly risk her life to stop Paul from phasing into a werewolf.
"Paul!" Bella screeched as she stood up. She stepped towards him and slapped him across the face as she yelled, "Snap out of it!"
"Bella, you're awake," Edward said happily as he hugged her. Bella felt awkward being hugged by Edward. Now that she had seen Felix and that random girl together, she didn't feel like what she and Edward had was special. She shrugged him off and turned to face the rest of the folks.
"We need to bake a cake," Bella told them all, "And we need to bake it now."
Edward had a hurt expression on his face. He didn't like the way Bella pulled away from him. Jacob looked at her funny, "Are you feeling alright?"
"No!" she looked at him fiercely, "I need to bake a cake!" Bella was almost in hysterics, though none of them knew why. Paul looked at Jacob, then at Emmett.
Paul spoke up, "I suppose we can go to the kitchen and bake a cake, but please carry Bella so she doesn't trip on the carpet again." He got up, and with the help of Jacob, lifted Emmett and carried him into the hall. Edward was about to pick up Bella, but she followed Paul and Jacob out without looking back at him. Edward sighed and walked to kitchen alone.
In the kitchen, Jacob and Paul put Emmett near the arch beside the fridge before sitting on stools placed around the island. Bella came in and started scrounging around in the cupboards for ingredients to use in the cake. Edward came in and, feeling rejected, sat in the corner next to the unconscious Emmett. He stared at the dark red spot on the floor that Jacob had been looking at earlier. It looked like blood but he couldn't smell anything off it. Usually things smelt but this had no smell. He sat there, pondering, while Bella made the cake.
Thirty minutes later found Paul with his head on the island with drool coming out of his mouth, Jacob trying hard not to fall asleep, Edward still gazing intently at the stain on the floor and Bella, looking contently at the chocolate cake cooling on the rack. "Okay everyone!" She started, brightly, "The cake is finished."
Paul jerkily lifted his head off the table, "What? It's done?" He stifled a yawn.
Edward looked up at Bella, blinking his eyes. He had been looking at the red spot for half an hour. Colours looked funny to him now. Jacob jumped up, stretched his legs and ran to hug Bella. "Congratulations Bella!" Bella felt oddly comfortable in Jacob's arms. Edward coughed and they broke apart. Bella looked at Edward and was about to say something when…
"The sky is ORANGE!" screeched a feminine voice. A girl, roughly 5'4", broke through the curtain at the opposite side of the kitchen.
Bella was speechless. The girl from her dream was right there, in front of her. But if the girl was there, then did that mean that Felix would be there too? She didn't have to wonder much longer.
"For the last time, Kelsey, the sky is BLUE!" A man, or more specifically a vampire, replied as he came through the curtain too. It was Felix.
