Chapter 3

Nathan P.O.V

"I'll be in in five minutes. Okay?" I nodded at Matt and closed the car door. I walked at a fast human rate though the hospital automatic door. It was still visiting time, so a member of the public wondering would go unnoticed. I knew the way to blood bank so when I turned into a deserted corridor I started to run at a speed a human wouldn't be able to see me. In about half a minute I reached a desk with a blond girl sitting at it.

"Nathan Green is that you. You haven't changed a bit in since freshman year how long ago was that?" The girl babbled. Who was she, she seemed to know me and I kind of recognised her.

"Oh my. Jess it's been eight years. How have you been?" She was my ex-girlfriend from when I was human. She was shallow and I disliked her, I just didn't like to say no or hurt people's feelings.

"Oh I've been good. I'm married now to Jack." So she married my best friend, band buddies, typical. "How have you been? It must have been hard losing your mum like that." Clever tact, bringing up someone's past that would hurt them.

"It was hard losing mum but I've got on with my life."

"Oh, sorry to bring that up. So how long have you been back in Seattle? Last I heard you were living in Italy with family?" That was the Votaries cover up. I looked at my watch. Matt will be there in a minute. No more chit chat. "Oh I'm sorry I'm keeping you. How can I help you?"

"I'm there to pick up a large order of O negative for Forks hospital." I showed her my fake hospital pass. She looked at her computer screen and frowned. She smiled as she checked.

"So you're working at Forks hospital, then?"

"I'm doing my medical training there medicine takes six years." I was making this up as I went along.

"Oh, I always knew you'd make something of yourself," of course she did. I am very sarcastic at times. "Sorry there seems to be no order for Forks hospital." She looked up into my eyes. Perfect. I consented on her mind and spoke in the tone of voice which allowed me to manipulate people's minds,

"Well check again, I really need this blood now and you're going to forget you saw me today and you're going to up the order on the computer for half your stock of O negative." She repeated what I had told her and she typed something. At that moment Matt walked down the hall and nodded. I showed him a thumb up to show that everything was going to plan.

"Sorry about that, I don't know what's up with me to day. Follow me Mr. Green. Did you know I went to school with a Green? I dated him. Dreadful kisser. Wouldn't have sex ether." Matt laughed and tried to cover it up with a cough. I gave him a low growl. Then followed Jess through a door where she started to shiver and gave Matt and me four large freezer boxes. We said our thanks and ran to the car.

"Well that went to plan; I told you it would work Nathan." Matt said as he patted my back. He dove out of the car park and the next thing we were speeding down the highway towards home. "It seemed like you knew that girl. Do you or is it your Nathan charm?"

"Hey bro it was well before you were around. That's all I am saying on the matter."

"Ohhhhhhhhh. She broke your heart didn't she?" something on my face must have answered his question. She had like all the other girl friends I had. "Another one you're so gullible Nat. You need to grow up. Oh, you can't you're a vampire stuck at Fifteen. Forever alone with your cats. Oh I forgot you're a dog person."

"Ha very funny, my sides are splitting. Thanks to you remember. Can we stop talking about this know." I put the radio and 'This love (will be your down fall)' by Ellie Golding was on.

Who are we to be emotional?

Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all?

Oh, who are we to turn each other's heads?

Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?

Matt was about to say something when I cut in; "shut up I love this song." We sat in silence, listening to the radio, the rest of the way home.

Oh, I don't like the way I never listen to myself

I feel like I'm on fire and I'm trying to cry for help

Oh, I don't think you know me much at all

I was wondering how Bella would react to the blood, would she totally grossed out or would she okay with it? I've only really just met her. Well the first part of my mission to save Bella has gone... well so far to plan. Will it all go that way? I hope so. That's one more thing I have no clue about.
