Chapter 8- Global Run
I sat at the table, drumming my fingers against it. Travis sat in front of me, his eyes gazing at me for the past ten minutes. " What?" I finally asked.
" Just wondering where we're going to go. Can't just stay here and expect to find the bad guy." He replied.
" I know that." Carlisle walked in, his eyes just a little troubled.
" Can we speak to you B-Noleen?" I sighed and nodded my head, couldn't ignore them forever. They were as set on finding out who was behind this as I was. Damn it.
" Fine, but make it quick." I walked into the living room with him, everybody turned to us. Well, Rosalie was glaring at Lanina. Someone didn't like the fact there was another pretty blonde in the room. " What do you want?" I questioned him as soon as he sat next to Esme.
" He wants to know about your other power." Edward told me quietly, not quite able to meet my gaze. I smirked, course he did. They all most likely did.
" Ah, little Carlisle is curious eh?" He shook his head yes, not affected by my coldness towards him and his family. Or at least he didn't let me see he was affected. " Fine, but remember, you wanted to know." I walked in front of all the Cullen's, deciding who was going to be my guinea pig. Finally, I decided on Jasper. I put my hand on his shoulder, immediately memories flashed through my mind. All other noise melted away as I shifted through the flashbacks. I didn't want to go back to actually see the memory played out in front of me, so I settled for a short scene. " You cheated at cards?" I murmured. " How pathetic." I could feel the gazes on my back, so I figured I should hurry up. A scene quickly flashed before me, a little girl and her mother's eyes opened in horror. 'That one will do." I thought and pulled myself away.
" Tell us what you saw." Esme said. I snorted, did she think she could order me around?
" Say please." I batted my eyelashes, earning a laugh from Travis and Lanina."
" Please." She replied warmly. There was just no upsetting this family was there?
" Jasper butchered a mother and daughter when he was first turned." He stared up at me and shook his head.
" No I-"
" Ah ah, even though you don't remember it doesn't mean it never happened. It's in your mind therefore it happened. And believe me, they didn't die happy." Alice whispered in his ear, trying to comfort him while I walked away towards Lanina and Travis.
" So you see memories." Carlisle stated.
" Wow, you just have everything figured out don't you?" Lanina scoffed.
" I only see bad memories, bad things you've done in your life. Sometimes your long, long life." I completed for her.
" Every time you touch someone?" Emmett asked.
" No, I have to call it forward."
" Anybody?" Edward whispered.
" Yes Edward, anybody and anything. Any bad things you want to fess up to? Besides making a young girl fall in love with you then leave her, therefore leading to such a high level of vulnerability she gets bitten one day and turns into the one thing you hate the most; which is yourself? Oh wait, everybody here already knows that don't they?" I smiled sweetly and sat on the edge of the couch. Everyone was staring at me, clearly surprised. I looked down at my nails to avoid their stares.
" Bella-" He began but I snapped my head back up.
" I don't want to hear it." I stood up again and walked over to Tai. " Go here-" I wrote down an address and handed it to him. " Tell him Noleen needs three more vials."
" What if I don't want to? You can't order me around."
" If you want to live you'll go." I turned around to talk to Lanina but heard him leave a few seconds later. Sucker.
I let my phone ring about four times until I picked it up. " What?" I asked, a little bitchy because an hour had passed and Tai still wasn't back. Probably one of those men who were bad with directions.
" Did you send some punk ass to pick up three vials?" Bob replied.
" Yeah." I chuckled and switched my phone to my other ear. " What's the hold up?"
" Didn't believe him, usually you come in person."
" Yeah well, I'm a little held up-" Suddenly the line went dead. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion; something was up.
" What's wrong?" Lanina asked, looking worried like myself. I flipped my phone shut and grabbed my jacket from off the couch.
" Something just happened at Bob's" Lin darted up.
" Tai-"
" Don't even start. I don't know what happened and I don't need a weepy vampire on my hands or ears."
" Do we have enough vehicles to hold everyone?" Carlisle asked me. I looked at him, confused as all hell.
" Who invited you to come?" I asked him. " You're not coming. You can't defend yourself so just sit here and talk or do whatever you want to. I'm not looking after seven people and I don't really think my friends like you."
" We can defend ourselves." Rosalie sneered, not liking me anymore than she did when I was a human. No, maybe she liked me better as a human actually.
" Listen to me, times have changed since I last saw all of you and I doubt any of you are in the know. So, just stick around here kay?"
" He's our friend, we're coming." Emmett argued.
" Wouldn't you want to go if it was Lanina who could be hurt?" Edward asked me. I rolled my eyes and whipped the door open.
" Yes, but Lanina can defend herself. Listen, if you all are so bent on coming you better figure out who's riding with your fast cause I'm leaving." I slid in my car, followed by Lanina sliding into the passenger seat. Travis's bike roared to life and he took off, knowing where Bob's was already. I started to pull away when the two back doors opened, Lin and Alice sat down. . . On my seats. . . In my car. I looked in the mirror at them, my mouth opened in shock.
" We're riding with you." Alice simply said, her eyes flashed with excitement.
" Do you have a death wish?" I mumbled and pulled away, not in the mood for arguing. " Don't talk to me." I told them. The acknowledged my wish and didn't talk to me the whole ride there; I was actually quite surprised. As soon as I pulled in front of Bob's store I jumped out. Everyone was already here, Travis was most likely around the back making sure no one was back there. I kicked up the front door and peered inside, quickly taking out a gun filled with iron. Wouldn't kill anyone, but it would hurt like hell.
" A gun isn't going to harm anyone." Rosalie scoffed at me, I whipped around to her and shot her in the leg. She dropped to the floor and let out a cry. " Damn it!" She yelled.
" Does it hurt?" I asked innocently.
" You bitch!"
" I'll take that as a yes." I turned back around, ignoring her cries and walked into the back room. Bob was gagged and bound in a chair. He saw me and his lights flashed.
" Noleen!" He cried, muffled from the rag in his mouth. I unbound and un-gagged him.
" What happened?"
" Some assholes came barging in her and took the punk you sent, well and you know what happened to me. They left a note."
" Where is it?"
" Front counter." I walked out of the room and to the counter, finding the note as soon as I got there.
" Noleen, you can't be who you are and not expect to have some enemies. Let me give you a clue, I'm not in the U.S and now little Tai Choi isn't either. Check Ireland, I've always loved it's rainy weather." I read. Lanina put her hands on her hips and let out a sigh of disgust.
" He's sending us on a damn global run? Let me tell you one thing, this was not worth two grand."
" Believe me, we'll have more by the time I get through with him." I walked around the store, picking up some materials and placing them in a bag. I was stocking up, who knows what I was going up against. The Cullen family stood at the door with Lin, Rosalie had healed. Although she was still a tad bitter about being shot. " If you are coming with, you'll need more clothes and weapons. Hand on hand fighting isn't really that appealing anymore. Grab iron pellets and guns, along with some of these vials." I held up a small vial with a purplish liquid inside.
" We won't use weapons." Carlisle told me.
" You planning on talking him out of being bad?" I chuckled. He nodded his head. " Well, then you're going to get yourself killed. Fine by me." I shrugged my shoulders and went to walk out to my car.
" What happened to you Bella?" Alice asked me, her eyes black with anger.
" Your family." I replied easily and got in my car. " Mainly your brother. Now, are you guys going to Ireland or not? Please say no."
" We're going." Carlisle said.
" Fine. . . Meet me here." I wrote mine and Lanina's address down. " Get what you need and be there by dawn. If you're not, too bad your chance is gone, cause I'm leaving." And with that said, Lanina and I drove away.
Just to clear something up:
" Who do you think it is?" Lin asked me quietly.
" I don't know. And frankly, that worries me." I replied as quiet as her.
This part meant that neither one of them knows who's behind everything that's going on. And that worries Noleen because she likes going on a run knowing who she's going after. She needs to do more work on this run, and she doesn't know what the end result is going to be. Hope that clears it up :)
Thanks for reading and reviewing!!! Glad you like it.
Until next time,
Faith
