A/N: OMG!!! I DID IT I ACTUALLY POSTED ANOTHER CHAPTER AND I FINISHED IT ALL IN THE SAME NIGHT!!! I AM SO HAPPY. I HAD AN IDEA NAD IT STRUCK ME LIKE LIGHTNING. I'M SORRY FOR NOT POSTING ANYTHING SOONER. I HOPE YOU GUYS STILL READ THIS.
The sound alone was deafening. What happened next however was nothing I alone could control. I stalked forward with the slink of a cat. Muscles coiled and bunched, prowess in my eyes. I watched my lover and my friend back off and circle again and before they even could make another pass at each other I was in the middle glaring at Edward and snarling bloody murder.
"Move out of the way Bella" Aubrey spoke as calmly and triumphant as he could.
He matched equally with Edward but he was no match against me. I whipped around giving him my most intense glare and growled like some feral rabid wolf.
"What the hell do you think you two are doing?" I snapped my anger and sanity dancing on one thin line.
"I've come back to get you." Edward said meekly.
"I've come back to get you." Aubrey mimicked in a girly voice.
My hand snaked out faster than a vampire blink, and grabbed him around the throat.
"Aubrey shut up. Edward seriously. I'm kind of busy, it's getting late and I'm starved." I saw the hope die in Edwards's eyes and the murderous stare was back.
"Aubrey you bastard." He spat out. To which Aubrey smirked.
"Release her now." He demanded with such fierceness even I shivered.
"Or what? What can you do to me Eddie boy. If you do remember the last time you threatened me the girl was killed."
"What-" I asked but was cut off by a wave of a hand.
"She was not killed you arrogant asshole. In fact, she is standing right in this crowd watching from a distance. Aren't you Risika?"
"Thanks to your dumb luck and your amazing will power." Aubrey snapped as he squirmed under my fingers. I let him go. He breathed in deeply and coughed once.
"And then she almost killed you. She could have killed you but instead any move you make, any choice, any idea is open to her. I would have rather of died than to have my mind free to anyone to read." Edward kept going, teasing and taunting from the looks of it.
"Edward….You do the same thing to other people. You read their minds."
But not in the essence that he was just speaking of. Bella you have to understand. Our world is different from yours. My eyes flickered over to where Risika stood and raised an eyebrow.
You'll see soon enough if I'm correct.
"Shut up Edward. I won't let you play your mind games with me." Jessica now stood next to Aubrey glaring at me.
"Is there a problem Jessie? Have I overstayed my welcome in this town of yours that you wrote so freely of? I have more reason to stay here than you do." I snarled.
"Damn straight." Fala spoke up from behind me.
"Watch where you step Bella I don't take kindly to sluts." I growled low and menacing in my throat watching the triumphant grin from her face slowly slid off.
"Well…You just gonna talk trash or you gonna actually try to prove something little girl" I fired back at her. Halfway through my sentence, Jessica had leaped at me and I went forward to meet her. However, before I could rearrange her pretty little face I was stilled in mid air.
"Damnit Aubrey you let her go now." Alice and Edward snapped. I was still dumbstruck. What just happened to me?
I told you Bella. Our world is different from yours. If you haven't figured it out know I guess I could clue you in. Aubrey has had a control over you from the very first time you've met him. If he had total control over you, you would be a little tougher, sexier, smarter (no offense) and just plain bitchier. But I stepped in just a little to help prevent total mind control. Now figure it out from there.
And right then I had figured it out. Aubrey had a control over Risika and was most likely making her do the wrong things. Eventually it came to the point where he was going to completely kill her. Edward must have stopped his little rebellion act with Aubrey and happened on the two by chance. He prevented Aubrey from killing her all the way and she became a vampire. Aubrey however thought that he killed her but when the two fought in the beginning, he felt compelled to finish the job. Nevertheless, she got off lucky and ended up opening his mind to hers.
"So the only reason you hate Aubrey is because he almost killed an innocent girl. However, he had been killing many innocent people why did you care so much about Risika? Unless… But you told me you haven't loved before me. Edward? Why was there such an emotional attachment to her?" I glared at him and watched, as he turned distracted by my question.
He didn't have time to answer because slowly my body began to move forward. Step by step, I became closer to Edward and most likely to his death.
"Aubrey." A warning growl formed in Alice's throat and he just looked amused. A smirk lighted his features.
"Dear little Eddie boy did love Risika. Only I beat him to it. It is a shame though. She was little to rude for me and I decided to dispose of her. Edward came looking for his love and found me sipping away her life. Drop by sickening drop Edward watched me. He was after all so distraught and confused that he eventually chased me off. But not before she was so close to death. When she drank from him the two were blood bonded because that's how it is in my town." I inched forward and my hand was now on Edward's neck. I knew my eyes filled with hatred but my mind was confused.
I love Edward this much is true but he lied to me. He said I was his first love.
"You said I was your first love. I was the first one. Tell me, was she your exact brand of heroine? Did she smell like freesia and vanilla? Have you been toying with my mind Edward, because if you have I will make you pay?" I snarled practically spitting on his face. His eyes grew big and he flashed a crooked grin.
"This isn't you talking Bella. You don't act like this."
"Really Edward. Let me remind you, I have been gone for over four months. Many things can change in that amount of time. Kinda like my strength." I slammed him to the ground and put my foot on his throat.
"Wanna see more. Aubrey and Fala have taught me sooo much." I grinned viscously.
"Bella" he choked out.
Instead of replying, I picked him up and threw his across the parking lot into the abandoned building.
BELLA! Stop it now or I will interfere. And you know enough about me to understand I will not hesitate to hurt you in order to keep from killing Edward. He is your first love as you are his. He and I loved each other like sisters. Aubrey was jealous that I liked Edward but not him. When I tell you too, attack Aubrey. I will have worked my way through to release you from his control.
The confession from Risika was like a ton of bricks hitting me. I paused for a second and felt the old Bella resurfacing. I bolted over to where Edward was my face had the look of intentional hurt but my mind was me again. Risika was working her magic.
"I'm sorry." I whispered in a rush so quietly, I barely heard it. But the quick nod of Edward's head led me to believe he understood.
Bella Now!
In a matter of seconds, my hand was around Aubrey's throat and the other on his two wrists.
"Go on Bella kill me if you wish too."
"Give me one good reason not too." I said. I faltered. I wasn't under his control. I wasn't as strong or mean any more. I was just
"Plain old Bella." Aubrey finished for me. And with that, he cracked my wrist and threw me to the floor. Edward snarled, Alice growled and Jessica laughed.
"Edward, Alice please leave this up to me." I said quietly. My wrist gave a satisfying pop and went back into place.
I scrambled back up but Aubrey threw me back down again.
"Ah, I'm afraid I can't let you do that Bella. Look into my eyes."
I snorted so loudly it distracted him long enough for me to come up and get behind him.
"What is this? Worlds cheesiest hypnotists or Candid Camera?" I glanced around for hidden cameras but stayed behind him.
When he tried to whip around fast I pounced on his back, yanked his hair and bit his neck. He pulled me off of his back by my hair, which in turn had me shredding a piece of his skin. My back slammed into the ground with an awful force that would have killed a human.
Still we circled each other. I with a limp and Aubrey holding a hand up to his healing skin. Just as quick as before, I slammed my elbow into his gut and thrust my fist into his nose.
Nice move Bella. If you don't mind I think I might step in now. You, Alice, and Edward should go home. From the looks of it, Edward really misses you.
Risika was right. Edward now had that weary look and sadness in his eyes. I walked over to him and kissed him quickly on the lips for reassurance.
"I'm sorry for leaving you and everything. I was a bitch I know." I mumbled against his lips refusing to break contact with him. He held me against him and kissed me again this time longer and deeper than we ever had before.
"If anyone should be sorry it's me Isabella. I should have told you. It wasn't even that big of a problem really. I just didn't want you to know that part of my life. It's to…"
"Gruesome?" I asked.
"Something like that. Come on lets get out of here before you bite anyone else. However, you can bite me any day." He mumbled into my ear and I swatted him.
Risika had lied, Aubrey didn't lie the whole part of his story and neither did Edward. Another family member was a lie unless he thought it was Risika that was killed. He must have just realized that she still existed.
weeks later
Finally, Edward and I had made amends and got married. We ended up having my party at his house anyways, the guys just left. It was only just us girls but we had fun anyway, I was even due to go shopping in a few days with Rose and Alice.
As usual, Edward couldn't stay away but we found him and made him dress in a tutu and wear makeup. Candle apple red is not his color. When Emmett and Jasper saw this (they too couldn't stay away) they ran for the hills with Carlisle on their heels.
"Hey." Edward said to me from the doorway.
I was sitting in the middle of his bed working on a photo album. Mind you I was in some new Victoria Secret lingerie and a flannel shirt down to my knees. It was Charlie's.
"How you feeling?" He mumbled as he sat down behind me pressing his face into my back. His breath tickled and I laughed tightly. Charlie had passed away just two nights before at a drug bust. One of them shot him. The most hilarious thing was that is was Newton who had gotten himself caught; his accomplice was Lauren (she shot my dad).
"Better I guess. It's good though that I told him I loved him when I came home. I may have been grounded but things still worked out ands I' glad there's no hard feelings." I sighed and glanced down at the picture of Charlie.
Edward kissed me on my neck and hair hoping to distract me. It worked. I turned around, shoved the photo album off the bed and kissed him from ear to ear teasing him. My mouth lingered on the corner of his lips and he groaned.
"Bella that isn't fair. I'm supposed to be the only one that dazzles you." He said laughing quietly and kissing me.
Without any notice, the sun burst from the clouds and I heard the family groan. Alice beat a broom on the ceiling on the living room, which was our floor.
"Edward could you and Bella perhaps not love each other for one hour. I have shopping to do." Alice grumbled from beneath the floor. We figured out my power for when I was happy or excited or in this case in love. The sun came out and any bad weather went away.
"I could never stop loving you Edward." I whispered and he kissed me so fully on the lips I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
A/N: I'm sorry you guys for not posting any sooner than this. As I said up there . I was struck with sudden inspiration. However, I want to personally thank Edwards-gurl123(for reading this even though she is/was grounded from the computer),qck (for the ending idea. Well the power idea),twilightjunkie1313(yes I know major technical thing I should change that), and everyone else who reviewed and actually liked it. The only reason I had quit was that it sounded sucky like this last chapter does. Ahh well you know what to do. And as soon as I get a chance to answer those questions I will.
