Me: How much do you all hate me?
Edward: Tons and tons!
Me: I'm really sorry. Busy you know? But hey, I'm here now!
Edward: Busy with other stuff…
Me: You wanna go, Eddie?
Edward: Bring it, Jaders!
Me: *attacks him*
Disclaimer by Jasper: Uhm…Edward…Jade…yeah. Well, she does not own Twilight. Plain and simple. Edward! She is still breakable! EDWARD!
Bella's POV
"Why are you doing this?" I whispered.
I knew he had heard me because in the dashboard light, he smiled.
"Plain and simple, Bella. I'm doing it for revenge." He said.
"I think you're crazy," I snorted.
"Yeah? Well, you're somewhat crazy yourself you know?"
"How?" I hissed.
"Hanging out with vampires? Werewolves? Ring a bell? Oh yeah. The Cullen's are vampires and your supposed best friend is a werewolf. I greeted him the other day. Asked him about the Cullen's to make sure my assumptions were right. I shook his hand and damn! He had quite a fever going on. That is how I could tell."
"When did all this start?" I asked, appalled at him.
"When my dad was murdered. He never did anything at all and those stupid leeches drained him of his blood. When I announce you into the VMBK, you have no choice but to kill any vampire you find." He grinned in my direction and grabbed my hand.
"Both hands on the wheel," I snapped at him.
He did as I told him and frowned.
"Still afraid of speeding cars?" He asked.
"Yes," I lied perfectly.
He chuckled and shook his head.
"What is the…VMBK?" I asked.
"Wow. Still as clueless as ever, Bella. We have to sharpen your wit. Vampires Must Be Killed." He said laughing.
Psh. Asshole. I belong to the VML. Vampire Must Live damn it!
"Where are we going exactly?" I asked, hoping to get more information out of him.
"There is a small VMBK down in Port Angeles, and that's where we're going. They have them all across the country, no, the world. Lots of the members of the VMBK, like myself, are against vampires in revenge for family members." Matt explained accelerating the gas as the Port Angeles lights came into perfect view. "And when the Cullen's lose their sense of direction, they will probably go after your father, which will cause you to have a reason to dispose of vampires with me."
"All vampires die anyway. Why waste your time here with vampires that do not attack humans?"
"The scent is there. The wonderful scent of a human. I have seen how Edward," he spat his name out like it was a curse word, "looks at you. It's like a five course meal for the vampires and he is just resisting it, but what if he should slip? Bam. You're dead faster than you can realize it."
"The Cullen's aren't like that," I argued.
Matt laughed again; shrill and cold.
"All vampires are like that, Bella. Trust me."
Now it was my turn to laugh.
"Trust you? Hah! You're somewhat funny there, Matt. You stole me from any friends that I had in Phoenix and kept me to yourself. You took advantage of me when I least expected it and even your sister is scared of you!" I exclaimed.
"She is not!" He yelled gripping the steering wheel tighter than was exactly necessary.
"I left Phoenix without you knowing, but did your mom and your sister know? Yes they did! I invited them to see my take off. The heartbroken look on your sister's face almost made me stay so I could keep her away from you! You're a monster! You are, Matt! Not the vampires! I'm surprised your mom kept you-"
"Shut up!" He yelled, smacking me across the face.
Tears threatened to spill down my cheeks, but I wouldn't let them. I placed my cold hand against the throbbing sensation on my face.
"Just shut up! My dad was who I learned everything I know from! You convinced us to move on! My sister and my mom did! She's getting remarried and now my sister has her friends to look to! She doesn't seem to like me anymore! It's all the vampires fault! I swear to God, Bella, if those vampires try to save you tonight, I will stab you right there in front of everyone and make sure you're dead before your precious vampires can get their venom in you. Do you understand?" He asked, keeping his eyes on the road.
I said nothing.
He grabbed my arm and began squeezing it. I fought back the will to yell.
"Do. You. Understand?"
This time I nodded my head vehemently.
"Good." And then he smiled at me, placing his hand against the cheek he hit softly.
I flinched away, and he frowned softly.
"It's going to be okay, Bella. It's going to be fine."
I think you have bipolar, bastard. Don't touch me.
I wanted to hit Matt. Hit him, curse at him, kill him even, but he knew I didn't have the strength or the will to fight. He knew it, and even more importantly, I knew it.
Edward…help.
Edward's POV
I escaped out of Forks in my Volvo. It was the fastest car we had, and I was going well over ninety. I didn't know where this VMBK hideout was, but I would find it. Alice was behind me in a car with Rosalie and Emmett, Rosalie driving of course. Jasper had occupied a car with Esme and Carlisle, and Carlisle was the one driving in that car. I sprinted out of the house as fast as I could so no one had ridden in my car. It probably would have been better if Jasper had tagged along with me.
Feelings of hate rolled off in me in huge waves. I wanted to take Matt, break his legs so he couldn't run, break his arms so he could feel more pain, then snap his neck to finish the job.
I accelerated past one hundred and looked for Matt's mind. I didn't know where he was, but I watched as Bella yelled at him. I smiled, but it quickly turned into a scowl when he hit her in the face. I could see the tears glistening in her eyes, but she wouldn't let them fall. That was my tough, Bella. I stopped listening to him and noticed that they were very close to Port Angeles.
My phone trilled.
"Yes, Alice?" I asked gruffly.
"Did you hear anything?"
"She was actually yelling at him for the first part. Telling him what a monster he was." I said.
Emmett chuckled.
"Then?" Alice asked.
"…he smacked her. Hard."
I heard someone hiss. It wasn't Emmett, yet it wasn't Alice. Could it have been Rosalie? Oh, of course. She knows what it's like to get beat up upon. I was sure she was livid.
"Anything else?"
"I blocked him out, but they are so close to Port Angeles. Tell the others." I answered.
"Of course. Don't do anything rash, Edward." She whispered before the line went dead.
Rash? Me? Never Alice. Well, except when Bella was involved. I punched the engine again to gain speed. This was war.
Bella's POV
We rode in silence for the rest of the time before we got into Port Angeles.
"Might as well give up, dirty vampires," Matt muttered.
"They're coming?" I asked, gasping in relief.
Matt nodded.
"Yeah. This ring on my finger is in tune with the temperature of others around me. When they are near, it goes ice cold. Sometimes, it fucking hurts. Damn bloodsuckers." Matt cursed.
"Then take the damn ring off," I snorted at his stupidity.
We pulled up to a dingy looked building that I noticed as a small bar.
"Bella…Bella…," he shook his head, smiling at me, "you don't understand do you? The ring can never come off."
He stopped the car and climbed out then came over to my side and opening my door. He grabbed me in his arms and the next words he said made shivers run down my spine.
"They melt the ring on your skin."
Me: Happy now? Eddie? Bells? Jazzy? Any complaints?
Bella: *shivers* Nope.
Edward: I have a complaint.
Me: *sighs* What?
Edward: Will I get her back?
Me: *smacks my forehead* Well, reviews are welcomed people!
Jasper: Be sure to click the little button!
Me: *walks off*
Edward: *follows* Will I? Jade? Huh? Will I? Tell meee!
