Chapter 5. Scents
Bella's POV
Previously…
I never thought camp could be fun, but it was away from our parents just us, the kids. Something different for once and a while. I snuck into Bella's cabin and lay with her, just happy to be with her.
Edward had left my cabin a little while ago when I first heard the scream. It was a light faint sound but it was definitely a scream. I jolted up right and looked around to see if Alice or Rosalie had noticed, but they weren't there. Probably at the boys cabin or somewhere. Nessie was asleep so she couldn't possible heard it. Since I heard no more I brushed it off, maybe just someone having a bad dream.
It was breakfast when we first heard the new. Someone had gone missing. Was this connected with that scream last night? No, it couldn't have been. A boy from the boys cabin was not there when the rest of them woke up. What probably happened was he went to the washroom with out telling anyone and got lost. Happen a lot but they usually found the person.
"What do you think?" I vampire-speed asked Edward.
" I'm not sure, lots of things could have happened." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Do you think they would find him?"
"Well, some of the consolers are going out to look for him today, also the police"
"I hope they find him, it would be very scary out there alone" and I turned my gaze to the thick forest outside the window. It would be very easy to get lost in there.
" I'm sure they will, he must have not gone to far." But something about Edwards's expression had me worrying, he looked unsure and seemed to be mulling over something.
The days activities had been cancelled form so the consolers could look with the police. Which means the whole camp was stuck inside the very stinky-asides from the human sent- main hall.
"What can we dooo?" one boy asked clearly bored, lounging lazily on a car.
"We could watch a movie?" another suggested.
"Nah," he said back
"Lets play truth or dare!" Alice shouted.
"Ya, that will be fun" everyone agreed.
We got into a large circle; the people that didn't want to play watched a movie.
"Okay!" declared Alice, "since, it thought of it I get to go first." She smiled.
"Hmmm…? Who shall I chose?" she looked around and then her eyes went blank and she recovered.
An evil smile creped slowly over her face, I felt sorry for who ever she chose.
"You, Christine, truth or dare?"
"Um, truth"
"Okay, good choice, is it true that you snuck over to the boys cabin to steal there underwear and wear it?"
Christine expression was priceless, her eyes were wide and her mouth hung open. She was probably wondering how Alice could have found out about this.
She sighed, "true" and blushed. Everyone burst into laughter and she grew redder. It was her turn; the bad thing about playing this game is you can take your revenge out on anyone.
A few moments of hesitation and she picked a gangly looking boy with blonde hair. Huh reminds me of mike.
" Phil, truth or dare?" she asked
He squared his shoulders and not to look weak he picked dare.
"Prefect" she murmured, " I dare you to… allow getting a makeover by any 3 girls that want to" she smile. Oh, nice dare. Alice's hand was up before she fished and then Rosalie's. She picked them and another girl who looked like she new makeup but not how to put it on. They ran over and started to apply makeup on him. Hey where did they get the make up? Oh well its Alice and Rosalie they could have gotten it anywhere.
They lifted off of him to reveal their work. They had straightened his hair so it was longer, and put black highlights in. his face was tanned and clean with black mascara and light brown eye shadow with gold eyeliner. His cheeks were a rosy pink and his lips were red and shiny. I busted out laughing; he looked so much like a girl! Poor kid.
After everyone calmed down he went next. Dare after dare, truth after truth it was Daniels turn to pick. That really annoying kid that had tried to hit on me. Alice's face turned to worry and so did Edwards. What was Daniels dare that made then afraid?
He turned to Edward, " I dare you to go into the woods were that kid went missing" he evilly. He must have wanted to get back at Edward for not being able to get me.
Hey? What ever happen to being able to pick truth or dare? Edward didn't get a choice, now that wasn't fair.
"Alright then, led the way" Edward said solemnly getting up.
Daniel got up and Edward followed him out the door, our family did too and so did a half the circle.
"Right there" he pointed when we had reached the fringe of the trees, "see if you can make your way out"
Edward nodded and stepped forward but I grabbed his shirt, "what are you doing?!" I hissed under my breath.
"Bella, Bella it's not like I can get lost," he murmured to me. Oh right.
"Ill be back soon." He kissed me once of the lips and then walked into the thick brush.
I watched him go until I could not see, smell, or hear him anymore. I turned to glare at the kid. He shrunk back, good. Now I would be with out Edward for a while that made me sad so I went to stand by Nessie.
She held my hand and asked will daddy be ok?
" Yes, don't worry he will be back soon" I reassured her. But the look on Alice's face had me thinking other wise. We all went back inside to keep playing the game.
Edwards POV
Stupid kid. I thought to myself. I didn't like to be away from Bella and Renesmee. And now I had to walk this forest for a bit. It would be hard to navigate through here if I was a human. The plantation was thick and wet, the roots of trees stuck up everywhere and it was dark, not a lot of sunlight could filter through the treetops. Reminded me of forks. But I could easily walk through the forest it was not troubling. I could here the quite thoughts of the police and a few consulars. One of them stood out, great another missing kid I hope we can find this one for once. Another? So there had been disappears before, that was nice to know. I was sure to stay clear of their path. Didn't want anymore-reported missing kids.
They were not looking in the right spot, I could smell the kids path right here. I deiced to follow it, maybe I could find the boy and everyone would be happy.
I was very bored so I thought over Alice's visions. She seemed to be having odd flickers of things. First that one yesterday and the one today when Daniel deiced to dare me. She saw me walking through the forest-like I was now-and have a confrontment with a dark shape, but she couldn't see anything else. It was blurry because of Renesmee and dark because of Jacob.
The kids scent traveled down a slope were I could smell blood. Must have fallen and cut him self. I walked down and soon realized I could smell our families familiar sent close by, with other human scents. Through the thick trees I spotted the cave we went to yesterday. The missing boys scent went into it too so I followed it. There was a strong patch scent on one stone, he must have fallen asleep. Daniels story echoed in my ears; she saw a cave and headed in. It was dark but the moonlight seeped through some cracks and it was light enough for her to see her way. She grew tried and fell asleep by some rocks. I laughed, who knew that silly human stories could scary me?
The scent picked up and I followed it through the weaving rocks and stones. A new scent caught my attention; one I new all to well. Vampire.
