Chapter 3 – Christopher
BPOV
Edward and I had been swaying to the music for a while without saying a word. Suddenly I stopped, horrified.
"What's wron-" Edward began. He stopped as he saw what I saw, 8 strange vampires before us.
I turned to Edward feeling uneasy, my past had taught me that not all vampires were kind and friendly, but Edward wasn't looking at me. He was staring at the new arrivals, actually, only at one of the new arrivals.
"Christopher." he breathed, full of tension and anger.
"Ah, Edward you remember me" The one called Christopher replied. There were low chuckles from his companions. They were all extremely good looking but Christopher stood out the most. He was dirty blond, with pale gold eyes, and a lean, yet muscular figure. Even in just jeans and a T - shirt he could probably dazzle any female on the planet.
"What do you want?" Edward asked, obviously mad. He slipped me behind him protectively
"Isn't it possible that I'm just here to visit an old friend?" Edward glared. "No, well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised, you never were much of a friend." Christopher continued.
" What the hell do you want?" That was Emmett. It wasn't until then that I realized that Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper had all come to stand by me.
"Oh look, Eddie has made some little friends," I could tell Christopher had used the name Eddie specifically to piss off Edward. " I guess he hasn't betrayed you yet, then" Christopher laughed. I saw Edward whisper something to Alice out of the corner of his mouth, but it was too low for human ears.
"Christopher, if there's nothing you want then I guess you should leave" Edward spoke through his teeth. At the same moment Alice tugged my arm. In a second I was in her arms and we were zooming towards the exit of the room.
Realization came over me. Alice was escaping with me. I wondered who Christopher was and how Edward betrayed him. I couldn't picture Edward betraying anyone. I would ask Alice later.
All of a sudden I heard a sound like thunder and I was flying backwards. A pair of strong, cold arms caught me. I cried out because the impact hurt, but it was much better than hitting the floor. I looked up expecting Edward's face, but found myself in one of the other vampire's arms.
"Bella!" Edward yelled " Bella are you ok!" He was a blur rushing to my side.
"Alice!" Jasper looked livid. I saw Alice getting up about 10 feet from me. Apparently she, too, had been flung into the air. She seemed fine, although there was a dent in the floor.
"I'm fine." She said brushing herself off, but she looked angry.
I saw how we had been stopped. Two vampires had reached the door before us and had blocked it, but how had they got there before Alice? They had been standing much farther away, I was sure.
The vampire holding me was eyeing me curiously. "Give her to me!" Edward roared. I was suddenly in Christopher's arms.
"And who is this? Oh no, Edward you didn't, She isn't… Ha Ha!" He cried with visible delight. He seemed to struggle with composing himself. He finally stopped laughing "I'm sorry this is just too good" he looked down at me "Are you alright dear?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm fine" I said stiffly, more for Edward's sake than Christopher's. I struggled to get out of his grasp, he seemed to only find that more amusing.
"Give me to Edward. Put me down, Christopher." He laughed more. Finally he let me stand, but his arms kept me prisoner.
"Why don't we introduce ourselves? I am Christopher, but you can call me Chris." He winked at me. "These are my friends Cameron, Marc, Jake, Alex, Eric, Sam, and Alan. Now what's your name sweetheart?" I didn't answer out of spite, I mean this vampire was not letting me go to Edward, a serious offence in my book. Chris grinned and gestured to the one introduced as Alan.
"Introduce yourselves and your powers" Alan said in a voice so smooth it was unnatural.
"Rosalie"
"Jasper, empath"
"Emmett"
"Alice, I see the future"
"Edward, mind - reader"
They each answered respectively. I was surprised they agreed so easily, why would they admit their powers? Now all eyes were on me. The Cullens all looked slightly entranced, and the other eight looked at me a little shocked.
I hesitated. Something wasn't right about the Cullens' expressions." My name is Bella" Chris had loosened his grip sometime during his introduction, so I used the opportunity to escape. I ran and slammed into Edward. He came out of his daze and promptly put me behind him.
Chris didn't seem phased. "I have to hand it to you Edward, she is a feisty one, but tell me what were you planning on doing? She will get older you know… and die eventually. Unless you planned on changing her, like I would've. No, you wouldn't, you don't have the guts. Maybe I'll just have to do it for you." The last part got Edward furious. He crouched down in a protective stance and snarled, showing his teeth.
Chris guffawed arrogantly. "So you mean to protect her, Edward? Well you can't protect her from everything" He smiled slyly as his eyes focused on me. I threw my head back and gasped as I felt the strangest sensation take over me.
