Chapter 27- A reason
I wiped the blood off my lips and backed away from the man I'd been drinking from. Lanina chuckled and backed away from hers also. " That's good eating." Lanina joked, rubbing her stomach. I tilted my head back with laughter.
" Lan, you're crazy." I cried in between laughs. She smiled and wiggled her eyebrows up and down.
" Don't I know it." A sudden smell drifted past me. I grimaced and let out a low growl. " Weres." Lanina stated. I nodded my head and took out my knives; twirling them with my fingers. A pack of the large wolves stepped out of the shadows and onto the alley road. I snarled and crouched into a fighting stance. Lanina dropped to the ground, her teeth flashing in the dark.
" Stop." A voice commanded. I watched as Jacob stepped out. His eyes glinted in the dark.
" What are you doing here?" I growled. He raised his hands to the weres, calling them off. They backed up slowly, but didn't leave.
" I always knew you were special Bella. There was just something about you. . . And here you are guardian of the vampires." My eyes opened in surprise. He chuckled and stepped forward. " Did you think I wouldn't find out?" I narrowed my eyes and raised my eyebrows. Something was up; something wasn't right. I stood straight up and shot a knife out, it sliced through the air and went right through the wolf I'd aimed at.
" Holograms, how Star Wars of you Mitchell." I said. Lanina's eyebrow rose in confusion. " Don't ask." I mumbled. She shrugged her shoulders and stepped aside. I peered around, finally spotting Mitchell leaning against the wall.
" What gave me away?" He smiled. I walked over to my knives and picked them up, sliding them into their compartments.
" We're not in Forks anymore Dorothy." I simply said. He kicked up off the wall and walked over to me.
" Ah yes. . . So now you know what you are. Have you decided to ally with me?"
" Why should I? What's your master plan Mitchell." He lifted up my chin with a finger and grinned.
" Now, now No-"
" It's Isabella."
" As you wish. As I was saying, I can't reveal to you my master plan until you agree to be my ally." I brushed his finger off me and sighed.
" Yeah, then I guess I'll never find out." His smile faltered for a second, but then he plastered it back on.
" Whatever do you mean Isabella?" He asked me, his crimson eyes evaluating me.
" She means she isn't going to be your little slave." Lanina snapped, her eyes black.
" Lan. . . Go get in the car." I whispered. I didn't want her getting hurt, and I knew Mitchell wasn't going to be happy with my news.
" What! Are you crazy Nol?" She exclaimed. I saw Mitchell clench his fists and turned to her.
" Yes, now leave." I gritted my teeth, trying not to let my fear show.
" I'm not-"
" Get out of here!" I screamed, knowing I probably looked as scary as I felt. She mumbled a string of curses but walked out. Mitchell grinned, but I could see the anger in his eyes. I stepped back when he got just a little too close.
" Tell me you were lying Isabella." He breathed on my cheek.
" I'm not, I'm not going to work for you."
" I'm not ask-"
" Yes, you are. Just calling me an ally doesn't hide the fact you only want me for my powers. You will only use me for what I can do." He nodded his head once and stepped back.
" I think you're making a big mistake Isabella. I can teach you so many things, like that little trick I played on you earlier. Think about it, you could be greater than you are now. Think of Nicholas and Annebelle, how they made your life miserable. You could rid the world of so many vampires like them, and crown yourself the queen." I scoffed and crossed my arms.
" Queen? What kind of cocka-mania idea is that?" He smirked and stepped forward again.
" The power to rule over all vampires and have the strength to frighten others? The power to decide who lives and who dies? If you ask me that doesn't sound very. . . How did you put it? Cocka-mania to me." Queen, yeah right. Me, royalty. That would go over well.
" Mitchell-" He held up his hand, signaling that he wasn't done.
" And think about this; no one would be able to touch your precious family. Do you know how many vampires would love to have Alice or Jasper as their play toy? Do you honestly think they were just changed from sheer mistake?"
" What. . . What are you talking about?" I whispered. He chuckled and put his hand on my shoulder.
" Everything is done for a reason my sweet. Your sister and brother were changed for a reason. And someone, someday will snatch them up. From right under your fingertips." He whispered back. I felt my anger surge throughout my whole body. Because I knew what he was saying was true. I lunged at him, knocking him down to the ground.
" I. . . Will. . . Not. . . Be. . . Your. . . Ally." I said through clenched teeth. " You can rot in hell first." I spat. He growled and kicked me off; I flew into a wall. The concrete crumbling beneath me. His hair was in disarray and his eyes were pitch black.
" You don't want me to be your enemy Isabella." He snarled.
" And you don't want me to be yours." I snarled back. " I suggest you walk away."
" And I suggest you watch your back." He replied. " Because I will come after you Isabella , and your death will be my victory." I watched as he walked away. I slammed my fist into the wall, more concrete shattering to bits. I was pissed and I was screwed. I had probably just put my entire family in danger. . . Maybe I should've just agreed to be a queen. I'd certainly look better in jewels than in pieces.
