Chapter 13- Watching
Let me say this, good guys make good bad boys. An hour later, yes it took an hour to get Edward ready but that's beside the point; an hour later everyone watched Edward walk down the stairs. He wasn't wearing Travis's skin tight black jeans, he just had on regular blue jeans with a black t-shirt that had a skull decal on it along with a black leather jacket. His hair was in its usual disarray but it was dyed dark brown. In short, he looked good. " Damn Edward, looking pretty spiffy." Lanina said, her eyes glancing towards me. I made sure I didn't have a look of surprise or admiration on my face and smirked.
" He looks alright." I replied. He smiled and ran a hand through his hair. Travis put a hand on his shoulder and smiled.
" Edward, you are now a man." I chuckled and nodded my head.
" No more pris for you. For now." Carlisle walked up, his eyes on Edward's hair.
" Will this come out?" He asked.
" He showers don't he?" Travis responded sarcastically. " Don't worry, Noleen's dyed her hair many times."
" Yes I have, now. . . We can't roll up on any of our cars so-"
" And why not?" Rosalie questioned. I rolled my eyes and turned to her, my hands on my hips.
" You want your precious cars getting stolen? Cause in that part of town, they will." She remained silent. " Didn't think so. So, Edward," I turned back to him, " Travis is going to teach you how to ride his bike. It's really not that hard."
" You know how to ride a motorcycle?" He replied, his face amused. I smiled back, a genuine smile to-boot.
" I'm a vampire of many talents." I watched Travis lead Edward outside. " Okay, we shouldn't be gone long."
" Be safe Noleen." Esme said. I nodded my head and made sure all my weapons were on. I'd changed too, into something a little more bad ass. Of course everything I wore was bad ass so it didn't really matter. I just had a bunch of sulfur on my other clothes. Now I was in a black t-shirt that had a large pink guitar on it, black jeans and a black sweatshirt. Okay, the pink guitar wasn't really badass, but I loved the shirt and it was comfortable.
" Lanina, if I don't call in two hours-"
" Go to the bar, I know. But don't worry, you'll be fine." I smiled and shook my head in agreement.
" I know, I just like having backup ready." I slipped some black converse on and sighed. " Okay, I think I'm ready. No one will suspect a thing with me dressed like this. Catch y'all later."
" Wait!" Alice cried out before I walked out. I faced her quickly, getting a tad irritated. She placed a necklace in my hands and wrapped my fingers around it. " For good luck." She whispered, her eyes shining bright. She didn't want me to look at it in front of the others.
" Thanks." I whispered. Then I walked out. Edward was sitting on the bike, he still had one foot on the ground and when he went to lift it the bike tipped. After seeing him look so graceful for so long, I couldn't help but crack up at him actually being clumsy. " It really isn't that hard." I told him. He frowned and looked at me.
" You've ridden before." Was his argument. I sighed and walked beside Travis.
" Should I just ride, he can hold onto my waist and sit in the back." Travis bit back his laughter. Edward's eyes met mine and he shook his head no. The next moment he was balancing on the bike and actually had it on.
" You're so bad." Travis said softly in my ear.
" I know." I said back. I climbed onto the back of the bike and put my arms around Edward's waist.
" Hold on tight." He joked.
" You're lucky I'm touching you at all, now drive." I replied. He laughed and took off.
The bar was hopping. There was no other word for it. It was hopping. We walked inside, Edward's hand was around my waist but only because we had to look like an innocent couple before I opened up a can of whoop-ass if needed. " Okay, you don't say a word. Got it?" I told him.
" Why?"
" Because you'll say something stupid. So just don't say anything at all."
" Whatever Bel- Noleen." I smirked, someone had an attitude. We walked over to the bar, I hit the table twice and sat down. A bartender came up, his eyes a deep red.
" Whatdya want?" His voice was scratchy and raspy.
" Bloody Mary." I teased. He smiled, obviously liking my humor and poured me my drink. I leaned on the table and blinked slowly. " I need some help with something, think you can be the one to assist me?" He glanced at Edward quickly, but then diverted his attention back to me.
" Anything for a pretty lady." I grinned, like giving candy to a baby.
" Have you ever heard the name Tai?" He blinked, clearly taken aback by my question.
" Noleen." He stated. Damn. My smile dropped and I stood up straighter.
" Yeah, what the hell? Do I have a fucking name tag on or something?" He shook his head and came closer to me.
" Someone's in here for you. They said you'd be asking about someone named Tai. He's in the back." The bartender pointed to a dark corner in the bar and then walked away. I frowned, how were these people one step ahead of me? How annoying.
" Come on." I said quietly and stood up. Edward and I made our way to the back of the bar, to the table the vampire had pointed out. The person turned around and my jaw dropped. " Laurent?" I questioned. He smiled and wiggled his eyebrows.
" Ello love." I sat down at his table, a growl erupted from my throat.
" What are you doing here?"
" Saving your little friend Tai. Listen, some people are watching you Noleen, you need to be careful." Edward was just standing there, looking like a deer caught in headlights.
" How do you two know each other, other than the fact he was with James and Victoria?" He questioned me.
" Saved his ass once, long story. Sit down." I pulled out a chair and he plopped into it, still confused. Laurent's eyes opened wide and he grinned.
" Eddie! Well, what a surprise!! Last time I heard of you, you left Noleen here high and dry!" Edward growled softly. I put my hand on his, but quickly pulled it back.
" Calm down." I muttered instead. He looked at me, a small smile on his face. I rolled my eyes and focused my attention back on Laurent.
" Well, who's after me?" I asked him.
" Can't tell you that."
" You can if you don't want to end up dust."
" You don't scare me-" I stood up quickly and grabbed his shirt, pulling him close to me.
" Who. . .Is. . .After. . .Me?" I asked slower, my eyes burning into his.
" I don't know her name."
" Is it Victoria?"
" Victoria was killed after spilling information on you."
" What information?"
" Your real name and where you lived. Also, who you are now."
" How did she know about me now?"
" Umm, not sure. She was dead before I could ask." He replied sarcastically. I let go of him and growled.
" So pretty much, you can tell me someone's after me, but not who it is."
" Pretty much." I threw my hands into the air.
" Well that's just dandy! That'll help me a lot Laurent."
" Ssh!" He exclaimed, looking around. " No one can know I told you or I'll end up like Victoria, ashes." I sat back down, a little suspicious about this whole thing. Something was up. . . I looked around, spotting someone in the corner, he was staring right at me. I smirked and pulled Laurent in front of me before the bullet could hit me. He let out a cry of pain, it was one of the guns I liked to use.
" You fucked with the wrong vampire." I threw him aside and turned to Edward. More vampires were popping up, hell even the bartender was packing. This was all a set up. And no one knew I was coming except. . . " Phillip." I whispered.
" What do we do?" Edward asked, standing beside me. I took out my guns and handed him one.
" Get the information we came here for."
Oooo, all the drama and action! lol. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!
