The librarian freaked out when the door opened by itself – me of course and then when Alice came in she looked oddly at her cause she was giggling along with me at the look on her face. We headed straight for mystics and magic sections. But even though we spent all day and all night searching we found nothing to do with my predicament. When we got home the others said they'd come up empty too.
"Well, we could put up a question online to see has it happened to anyone else." Bella said.
"Ya, but if it attracts the wrong kind of attention I don't want to look like a circus freak." I said.
"Dude, you are a circus freak, no-one can see you."
"Shut up shiny boy" I said punching him in the arm.
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" he replied rubbing it as if it had really hurt.
"Softie" I muttered.
"Invisiboy" he muttered back and then then let out a big guffaw of a giggle that set us all off and we laughed ourselves silly. It helped to relieve some of the tension. The house phone rang. It had been so long since we had used it that we were a little taken aback. Who was calling us? And how did they get our number?
"Hello" said a cool dark voice that sent shivers down my spine and made me squirm.
"I am Carlisle Von Cullen." There was a dramatic pause.
"I'd believe I can help you with your little problem." I stared at the others completely forgetting that they couldn't see my reaction. How the hell had he known we hadn't even put it up online yet?
"Your lecturer told me you disappeared after drinking the blood of a human. I would like to meet with you and see you, if you'll pardon the pun, for myself."
"Er, thanks, um" I said stupidly.
"Can I get back to you on that? Do you have a number where I can reach you?" the man breathed out in an agitated rush of breath.
"I suppose so; my number is 555-5510. The longer this goes on the more difficult it will be to reverse the damage." He said.
"Do you mean this could be permanent?" I asked in horror. Alice squeezed my hand.
"Ok, I'll be in touch with you shortly" I hung up and looked around the room at my friends.
"I don't trust him Jaz, I heard his thoughts. He wants to experiment on you like he did the other 5 vampires he worked on, but they all died or were never seen or heard from again." Ed said.
"But he said it could get permanent." I replied.
"Scare tactics Jaz, he's not the way to go to get your answers." He said again.
"Ya, I feel it too Jaz, he's not good for you" said Alice. I met Em's blue eyes over the rim of his mug and in between the steam and bubbles rising out of his mug, I saw him shake his head. He could tell if people were lying or not.
"I love you guys" I gushed, "thank goodness you're all so talented. I guess I'm talented now too." I said giggling. The phone rang again and I picked it up on the 3rd ring.
"Hello" I said worried as to it was now.
"Yes, have you decided to come to me for help yet, you silly boy, you're just lengthening your predicament" said Count Von Cullen.
"Ya, I've thought about it and decided that I like being invisible but thanks anyway for the offer."
Carlisle snorted in disgust down the phone and said
"You'll be sorry for wasting my valuable time."
"Excuse me, you rang me!" I said but he'd already hung up. I looked around at my friends and they all looked like how I felt, gobsmacked.
"I have an idea" said Rosalie.
"Well get on with it" snapped Alice impatiently and looked contritely at her and said sorry. Rose frowned a little but spoke anyway.
"Why not ask physic Angela to see are there any solutions or maybe to read your future, see what's in store for you Jaz." She said.
"Rose, you know me under normal circumstances I'd have to say not a chance but go on, give me her number please."
"555-4391" she read out from her mobile.
"She has her on speedial" Emmett said sniggering.
"Ya probably to see how long she'll put up with your shiny ass" Bella said sniggering too. Emmett gaped in horror from Bella to Rose.
"Babe, she's kidding" Rose giggled.
"Humpf" he grunted and sneered at Bella saying
"As if!" Edward punched him on the shoulder. Emmett was just starting his long 'OW' when Rosalie's phone buzzed.
"Guess who" she smiled.
"Angela" we all chorused. My friends are such nutters.
"Hi Angela, uh-huh, okay, ya, no problem, thanks, see you then." She said and hung up.
"You're to call to Angela today at 4pm; she's got a free time then."
"Its 2pm now what am I gonna do for 2 hours?" I looked at Alice and my eyebrows flickered suggestively at her but of course she couldn't see them I thought dismally. Dam. This was gonna be harder than I thought.
"Sorry to disappoint you hun, but I gotta go back to work" Alice piped up and grabbing onto my arm leaned in to kiss me but she got my ear so I turned and kissed her.
"Alice you look so funny kissing air" Emmett said and laughed.
"Ha ha Emmett so bloody funny. I have to go in and work on that new project. I'd much prefer to go with you but Captain Underpants aka Caius is being a pain in my ass at the moment.
"Oh right ya, I forgot all about him, I'd better go with you" said Bella.
"I'll come with you jazz" Edward said.
"Me and Rose have to go over to moms" said Emmett. We went our separate ways with promises of keeping everyone up to date on what Angela had to say. As me and Edward sauntered into town I decided to have a little fun. Make Edward look like he's talking to himself so as soon as we met some people I started asking him some random questions. I'd got to number 5 before he twigged what I was up to.
"Very funny Jaz, I won't forget this" he said and reaching out to find my arm so he could shove me but failing to do so. This looked even funnier. He looked so silly with arms flailing outstretched. Mad Mike Newton snorted at him when he saw him.
"Think you're a zombie now Cullen do you. Not enough being a bloody vampire for you" and he snorted out another laugh. Edward glared at him as he moved on walking but I snuck up and slapped mike's face hard. His face was a picture of shock and surprise. Edward and I burst out laughing and he looked around wildly for me. Edward said "boo" and Mike took off screeching about ghosts and zombies. Course no one paid him any attention.
Jane came out of Eric's trinkets and gadgets store wearing the daftest looking glasses. They were black rimmed with green lens and had several different colour lens sticking out to the side. She looked down her nose at Edward even if she was a good few inches shorter.
"Cullen" she said in a hoity toity voice. She played with her glasses for a moment, frowned and took them off in disgust. Ed tried to look at me in puzzlement but obviously failed.
"What's grumpy Jane's problem this time?" he asked me.
"Beats me, she's always got a problem about something." I replied. Ed shrugged his shoulders, bent down and picked up the discarded glasses and put them on.
"Ya really sexy Elton john" I quirked at him.
"Thanks" he smirked, "let's go check what these glasses do." He said and ducked into Eric's shop. Eric was standing at the counter in an out-dated suit that was equally faded and smelled of mothballs. Ew I hate that smell. Early air fresheners! NOT! Eric was chatting to a pretty vampire with long dark hair and a fabulous figure. Heidi Von Trapp. I thought, I saw Edward smirk. He headed over to the counter and snorted out a laugh. I sauntered over and giggled too
"X-RAY GLASSES, THEY REALLY DO WORK" it declared.
"That's why Jane was disgusted. They were fake. We walked out of the shop and Heidi came rushing out of the shop after us and went up to Edward and purred at him.
"Put them on Eddie baby and pull down the red and yellow lens together and now look through them." She drawled again. He did and pulled them off quickly with a look of disgust on his face.
"Very funny Heidi" he said. She giggled. I pulled them out of his hands and put them on and she stared at the glasses on thin air and stared when she heard me giggling. I stared like a madman at her body which I could see clearly through her clothes and stopped myself from whistling.
"How did you do that Edward?" she asked.
I'm practising to be magician" he said and I snorted out a laugh.
"Ya and a ventriloquist too" I said in creepy voice and blew on the back of her neck. She shivered and ran away. I was doubled over in stitches at this stage. Edward was cracking up too.
"C'mon trouble" he said to me before we get locked up for disturbing the peace.
"What time is it now?"
"It's nearly 4, we better get over to Angela's now" he said.
