Chapter 15- Dread
I quickly pushed him away and stood up, wiping my lips with my mouth. " What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I yelled at him. He looked at me in confusion and slowly stood. " I'm. . . I'm still mad at you, so keep your lips off mine mister!"
" Noleen-" He started to come towards me but I stepped back.
" No touchy!" He ran a hand through his hair and let out an exasperated sigh.
" Noleen I've already said I'm sorry! I've practically begged you to forgive me! When will you? I still need you!"
" You should have thought about that before you broke my heart." I heard the back door open and saw Laurent step out. An amused smile played on his lips.
" Oh Noleen!" He said in a sing song voice. We both ignored him.
" I did it because I cared about you and didn't want you to get involved in all this!" Edward yelled. My fists clenched with anger.
" If you loved me you would've stuck by me! You would've protected me!" I yelled back.
" Noleen-"
" How could I have known this would happen?"
" Gee maybe from your sister that sees the future!!"
" NOLEEN!" Laurent exclaimed.
" WHAT?" Both Edward and I yelled at him. He sighed and pointed to the house.
" Your boyfriend is in there smooching your best friend."
" What?!" I darted inside and sure enough, Travis and Lanina were seated at the kitchen table. Kissing. " Has everyone gone crazy around here?" I cried. They broke apart, and I knew if Lanina could blush she would've been.
" Noleen, it's not-" Travis started. I held up my hand and let out a groan.
" It doesn't matter, we were never dating in the first place. Remember?" Travis grinned and went right back to kissing Lanina. I rolled my eyes and applied pressure to my temple with my fingers.
" You were never dating?" Edward whispered to me.
" Long story, don't feel like explaining."
" Give me the short version."
" I wanted to get back at you. . . Huh, maybe it wasn't that long of a story." I shrugged my shoulders and headed inside the living room; I needed a drink. A strong one. Too bad alcohol does nothing for a vampire. . . Damn. " Of course I could suck a drunk human, then that may have some effect on me." I muttered aloud.
" What?" Emmett asked me. I looked up and shook my head, sitting beside him.
" Don't ask." Edward was leaning against the doorway to the kitchen; his eyes deep with some emotion I didn't care to ask about. I leaned my head against the couch and let out a loud yell.
" What the hell was that?" Rosalie sneered.
" Gets rid of the tension. You should try it sometime, you seem uptight." I felt something poking me in the leg; upon digging my hand in my pocket I found Alice's necklace inside. I forgot about that. I glanced at Alice, she was staring at me. How. . . Creepy. 'Upstairs.' I mouthed. She nodded her head and flashed me ten fingers, ten minutes. I shook my head in agreement and walked up stairs. " I'm going to lay down, I need rest. Don't bother me." I looked at Edward once and then was upstairs. Those eyes, they'd haunted my thoughts for the past twenty years. . . I laid on Phillip's bed and looked at the necklace intently. Alicia Marie Wentworth was engraved on the front of the locket. On the back it read, "From mama and papa, we love you." I opened the locket and gasped, a picture of Alice was inside. Well, not Alice now, Alice when she was maybe like ten years old. She had long black hair, but you could tell it was her. I looked up from the locket and would've had a heart attack if it was possible, Alice was by the end of the bed, looking at me. " Woah! Where the hell did you come from!" I exclaimed.
" Is that me Noleen?" She asked quietly. I shook my head.
" Yeah, it's you. Why?"
" I just found that a couple weeks ago, going through some boxes in the house. It was wrapped in the clothes I wore when I first found Carlisle. He never told me about it, and I don't remember having it. " She sat on the bed and her eyes opened wide. " Don't you see Noleen! It's a piece of my past! I can find out who I am! With your help."
" Woah, why do you need my help?"
" He hid it from me! I don't want any of them to know."
" He may have been trying to find it out too. This is an old locket, it'll be almost impossible to find the records needed."
" Almost being the key word. . . Can you help me? Please Noleen." I looked into her eyes, they were troubled yet fierce. She needed this, and I understood that. The need to know something.
" Fine. I'll see what I can do."
" Thank you Noleen!" She threw her arms around me in a tight embrace, sobbing a few dry tears. " Thank you so much."
" Yeah yeah, now get up and compose yourself."
" Sorry, it's just. After so long of not knowing. . . "
" I know. . . " She sat up and nodded her head.
" He really does love you you know."
" That may be true but-"
" Shouldn't that be all that matters? Everybody makes mistakes and you wanted to be a vampire anyways."
" I wanted to be turned by your family, not a monster."
" But it happened that way. Why waste more time by being bitter and why not just forget him." I closed my eyes and smiled bitterly.
" It wasn't how I was raised."
I cringed as his hand swept along my jaw. His dark hair brushed my cheek and I inhaled sharply. " Such a beautiful pet." He whispered.
" I wish I could keep you all to myself." I clenched my fists and swallowed. I hated him, but didn't want to push him away. That would be dumb.
" Tell me Noleen, how long did you scream?" He asked me softly, his words caressing my ear.
" Get away from me Nicholas." Damn my speaking before thinking!
" Or what? Going to hurt me Noleen?"
" Nicholas. . . Get off me." He chuckled and pushed himself away, realeasing me from his grasp.
" You're mine Noleen, whether you want to admit it or not. You are bound to me through your sire, my sister. And I will have you." He told me, a shiver ran up my spine as I gazed in his crimson eyes.
" Over my dead body." He laughed again and bent down towards my ear.
" That can be arranged."
I opened my eyes, a feeling of dread laid deep in my core. This was going to be hard, because one of the biggest vampires was after me. . . And he wanted me most likely dead. " Oh joy." I muttered. "Oh fucking joy."
