Chapter 9 – The Ride Home
As I walked towards Jacob, I thought about what would happen if I was with Ryan. He was beautiful and charming but… Jacob wouldn't let me get through leaving him. All this would hurt someone in the end. Right now, I would just deal with Jacob until I knew Ryan better. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any fights…; I chuckled softly at my own thoughts.
I spotted Jacob standing beside his Volkswagen. He grabbed my hand and I kissed him softly, showing him that I'm sorry I'm late.
"It's alright, Ness. I just got worried a little bit on where you are," Jacob opened my door and I walked in.
"Well, the people I met are amazing, they're all very … understanding," I tried to explain all the mind reading. A moment later, my leg felt like it was on fire, "Sorry for the leg, hope it's good now. Anyway, we've decided you can tell Jacob about us, the real truth," AnneMarie's cruel voice filled my mind.
"What are they like," Jacob asked, one hand on the wheel and the other holding my hand.
"Well, I'll ask if one of them can do something for me," I spotted his air freshener on the rear-view mirror. "David, can you make the air freshener fly," I thought. "Sure thing," he echoed. The air freshener slowly moved from the mirror and smacked Jacob in the eyes.
"What the" he got cut off by the air freshener stuck in his mouth. I burst out laughing and commanded David to stop, the air freshener returned to its place.
"So your friends are playing tricks on me? Or…," his eyes widened at that thought.
"Um, that's just one of the guys, and his power is to make objects move. Throughout the whole group, I know that 4 have powers. David was the one tricking you, Ryan has Jasper's power, AnneMarie's power is the same as Jane and Charlotte's power is to spark you like Kate. Yes, they're vampires, Jake, actually hybrids like me," I explained to Jacob.
"So, you're not the only on like we thought you were for five years?"
"No, I wanted to ask what would happen if they met the Volturi, but I'm guessing the same thing would happen to them as it happened to me," I wondered aloud.
"Wow, it's not a good idea to get in AnneMarie's way, is it?" he chuckled.
"No, but she has to hurt me a little bit to communicate with me. Same with everyone else, Ryan changes my mood to talk to me, and David makes random objects that are close to me, fly. That's why, if you see me screaming from a pain, AnneMarie's talking my head," I giggled the thought of Jake and AnneMarie talking.
"Oh my, I hope she doesn't hurt me while I'm driving," Jake joked.
We arrived at the driveway to my house, when a strange howl filled the car. My reflexes snapped and I noticed Jacob was clutching his leg. The car swerved and I grabbed the wheel.
"What the hell is your friend doing to me," he screamed in agony, "All I can hear is her laughing in my brain!" "AnneMarie! Stop it!" I scream in my brain, and the howls stopped. "That was a taste of what might come," AnneMarie echoed in my mind, while she pinched my side.
"Your friend is whack; I wonder how you'll explain that to your family. Dr. Vamp will want to meet them, Edward will be devastated and Bella… well who knows how she will react," Jake laughed at his own joke. He controlled the car once again and drove into the garage.
"Do you want me to come and see what the bloodsuckers are going to do about your new friends," Jake asked as he opened my door. I honestly wondered what my family would say about them. We walked towards the door to grandpa Carlisle's house, and my father burst out yelling.
