Chapter 5: She Drives
Bella's POV
I was calm by the time I got out of the bathroom. I rapped a towel around myself to cover most of me. It ran down to right below my butt. I walked towards my closet and heard someone walking up the stairs. I opened the doors with my mind to let them know that I was here. I smelled the air to recognize who it was: Aro. I sighed.
''Bella, are you calmed down now?'' He always got straight to the point.
''Felix already came through with the questioning and yes, I'm calm.'' He laughed.
''I am dreadfully sorry about Edward, I didn't mean for him to come so close to you or realize who you are''. He knows who I am. This is just great. '' I had specific orders for Renata and I see she has failed me, she must suffer the consequences.'' I was amused. Even though it was cruel, Renata was never on my good side.
''Yes, she will.'' I smiled my wicked grin. ''Now will you please let me get dressed, I need to prepare my car for tomorrow.''
''Ah yes, the streetcar races. I wish you good luck, would you like some help with you vehicle?'' I laughed, me needing help will never happen.
'' Thank you but I don't need luck or help.'' I smiled and he left and sat down on my couch inside my room. This will take a while before he leaves.
I quickly pulled on faded black skinny jeans, a pair of three inch heeled ankle boots and a midnight blue strapless top. I passed Aro on my way out and he followed. I ran down my stairs and walked to the hallway grabbing Felix from his room to come to the garage with me and just stand there for the company. It's not like he minded, he liked watching me work on my car. We were quickly in the garage where I lifted my Lamborghini Gallardo a couple inches off the ground and pulled the cart that I lay on and got to work. All I needed Felix for was to pass me the tools.
''So you think you're going to win tomorrow?''I snorted.
''Of course I'm going to win, I never loose, you know that''.
''True, but aren't you scared you'll damage the car, it's one of your best and you're going to drive it in a race where half the cars don't survive.''
''Yes, I like it and it's the only one I've tricked out to 500 horse power'' I smiled. No one was ever going to have as fast of a car as mine. I would win easily.
Suddenly I heard foot steps shuffling towards the garage, I stood up to see him walk into the garage staring at me. I hadn't notice that there was a car that I didn't own in my garage. I lowered my car until it touched the ground once again and lifted the hood with my mind not makign contact with him. Felix gave him a glare and he walked towards his car wich just oh so happened to be beside mine. Great. He wants to play. I leaned into the engine to disconnect a fiew cables and re-wire it. He looked into my hood from afar and his mouth flew open.
''If you keep your mouth open any longer, you'll catch a couple flies.'' My voice was harsher than needed but it felt good to talk to him like this. He shut his mouth and came to the closest side of his car.
''Y-you race?''He sounded stunned.
''I do more than race but yes I do.''I gave him a glare and heard his breath stop.
''You know you car has a 2 000 horse powered engine, right?'' I was glad he didn't talk about the past. ''How is that possible, it doesn't exist''.
''I know it does, I created it.'' He looked at me in shock. I read his thoughts so easily.
Holy crap. My Bella is into cars. And she created the most powerful engine known to man, not even Rosalie can do that.
''Felix do you mind jumping in and starting it up. Go up to 300 km/h for me?'' He jumped in and did as I said. The engine roared to life, it was the most amazing sound I had ever heard. I could tell that Edward was surprised; Felix gave him a smirk that wiped the smile off his face.
''So anything else you need Bells?'' He was one of the only ones to not call me majesty.
''Um no, you can leave to go see Heidi, Felix. I know you love her.'' He winked at me and left in a hurry.
''Um Bella, you racing tomorrow?'' How dare he call me that. I shot him a look that would melt metal.
''You will address me as majesty or Isabella and yes I am. I have been the winner for a couple decades so don't go thinking you can win.'' That just about wiped the smile off his little jerk face.
''I'm sorry your majesty.'' I liked playing games with him.
I got into the car and opened the garage door. I locked all my other cars' doors and saw his jaw drop.
''Those ar-are all your cars?'' He was shocked and all I could was give him my wicked grin.
''Yes''. I spoke harshly.
I started the car and drove forward into the huge clearing in front of the garage, his eyes still on me. I drove fast and did a 180 and flipped the car so it landed about two feet over from were I landed my 180. I turned to see him accompanied by Emmett and Rosalie, all of them with their jaws down to their knees. I did another 180 and sped out into the streets of Volterra.
Edward's POV
Bella a racer. The skills she just showed me, I was bewildered. I was speechless, never in my life had I seen someone drive like that or even flip there car in the air and land it. Once she sped out of the grounds I turned to see Emmett and Rosalie standing beside me with the same look of shock on their faces.
''Damn she can drive, did you see that!'' Emmett looked like he just saw god.
''We all saw that idiot, Edward is she racing tonight?'' She slapped Emmett in the back of the head.
''Yeah she's racing, she also perfected her car to something not even a human or Rose could do.'' I felt Rosalie's anger, she hated being beaten.
''Really, what did she do to her car?'' Emmett was jumping in joy to know that Bella was a racer. I was shocked that she was a winner and didn't even get hurt.
''She made her engine have 2 000 horsepower and designed the engine herself. I saw her with my own eyes working on her car with Felix pushing on the gas. He gave me a smirk which could only mean that I have a lot of competition.''
''Sh-she designed the engine herself?'' Emmett was really surprised. I never thought that Bella would be the car type.
''Did you say 2 000 horsepower?'' I nodded and Roses' jaw dropped.
''Did you see her car type? She had a fricken Lamborghini Gallardo. No one ever has one of those.'' I knew that.
'' All of these cars are hers, none of guard has any cars because they're always with Aro but she just has to own 8 cars?'' I looked around and saw that most of the cars were bullet proof. Wow. Why would she need a bullet proof car?
''These are, are hers?'' I heard Emmett whisper shit.
We turned to my car wich was a piece of crap between her cars but it's all that I could have in the moment. Rose lifted the hood t ocheck on the engine to tweek it a little. Emmett lifted the car to let me work on the exhausts t omake sure it ran smoothly. We heard foot steps but ignored them, they walked into the garage and stood by us and started laughing.
''You think you'll beat the princess'' They snorted still laughing.
''We can try'' Rose spoke walking towards Demetri. '' What makes you say that we can't beat that little slut.'' He stopped laughing.
''I would take that back before you get punished for calling her that''. He had a grim look on his face and she apologized. ''She's been racing for the past 60 years and hasn't lost a race yet. She's even killed vampires racing against them and don't look at me like that because our races are vicious.'' Great. Bella could kill me. Emmett spoke up.
''How many vampires has she killed?''He sounded worried.
'' About 80 but that's only the number I know, I haven't attended all her races.''
We all stopped breathing at that. Demetri started laughing, but I knew he wasn't joking about the deaths she's caused. I couldn't believe that my angel could be so vicious, had she really killed that many vampires? Would she kill me if I opposed her tonight? I kicked that thought away.
I heard the growl of an engine and turned around to see Bella and her car pulling into her space. She smilled at Demetri and pointed at the gasoline tank in the back of the garage. He rushed forward and grabbed it bringing it towards it.
''Here you are majesty''She rolled her beautiful blue eyes.
''Demetri, how many times to I have to tell you to not call me that.'' She was annoyed. I was confused she had asked me earlier to call her that.
''Right, sorry bout that Bells. So how many vampires you going to kill tonight.'' She looked at me and shot me a wicked grin that sent shivers down my spine.
''How many are racing?''She was intriguted.
''About 50 cars'' This time Emmett answered her. She didn't like it.
''Mhhhhhhh''She brought her index to her chin and started taping it. ''15 out of the 50 will be destroyed and about 12 of the drivers will burn and 10 others will be in pain.'' She looked serious. Why was my Bella acting like this.
She filled up her car with two tanks of gasoline and turned towards Rosalie.
''So I hear you called me a slut. Care to tell my why pesant.'' That did it. Rose was pissed off, I tried warning her not to say anythign but she didn't lisen.
''I called you a slut because you love showing of your cleavage if you had boobs, secong you think you can beat the crap out of everyone and third, you just use people.'' I looked at Bella, she had grabbed Rosalie's throat and lifted her three feet of the garage floor. Rose was suddenly engulfed in blue flames and she was screaming in pain. Bella had a look of joy, how could she enjoy this. Emmett was trying to get her to stop but she wouldn't.
''YOU IDIOT! STOP HURTING MY WIFE.'' He whimpered. ''STOP IT!'' He was practically on his knees. She dropped an unconscious Rosalie to the floor.
''You take it back pesant! You don't talk to the Princess like that.'' Demetri was screaming at Emmett.
''I'm sorry your majesty.'' I couldn't believe he actually apologized, I wouldn't of.
Bella looked towards me, crap. I had forgotten that she could read my mind.
''Don't worry idiots she's not dead, she'll wake up in an hour or so. Just be lucky that I didn't use my black flames. They're deadly'' She winked at me and strolled out of the garage and upstairs to her room.
''I hate to say it but I kind of told you so about the consequences''. Demetri followed her like a child. It digussed me and I growled.
We picked up the unconscious Rosalie and braught her up to her room to set her down on her bed. Emmett stayed with her. She woke up and had hand marks on her neck, my eyes almost bugging out at the marks that she had left. I never imagined her like this. She was cold and bitter but powerful, and I still couldn't stop loving her. I knew somewhere in her there was my Bella in there, if I could just get her alone and in the same place for a while I'm sure that I can make her old self come out. I wanted desperately to believe I would succeed at this.
