Chapter 2 – Paper cut
"Time to open presents!" Alice declared, she held onto Bella's elbow and towed her to where the cake and presents were. "Alice, I know I told I didn't want anything-" Bella was saying, but then Alice interrupted "But I didn't listen." She said smugly. "Open it." She handed Bella a big, square silver box. Bella tore of the wrapping paper and found an instruction manual for an electrical item, she took it out to see what else the box contained, but found that it was empty. "Um...thanks" she said. I smiled looking at Bella's unsure expression and so did the rest of the Cullen Family. Rosalie actually cracked a smile and Jasper laughed as he explained that it was a stereo and that Emmett has already installed it in her truck. I really liked this family, they are really nice to Bella and they make her happy, that's all I want, for my daughter, to be happy.
"Open mine and Edward's present next." Alice said so excited that her voice was a high pitched trill. She held a small, flat square in her hand. Bella turned to glare at Edward, "You promised." She said. "I didn't spend a dime." Edward assured her.
She inhaled deeply and turned to Alice, "Give it to me." She sighed. Emmett chuckled with delight and Jasper moved closer in to get a good look. Bella took the package from Alice, rolling her eyes at Edward. She stuck her finger under the paper and jerked it under the tape.
"Shoot" she muttered and pulled her finger out from under the paper to examine her finger. It was a small paper cut and a single drop of blood oozed from it. Everything happened very quickly then.
"NO!" Edward roared, and threw himself at Bella, flinging her back across the table, scattering the cake, the presents, the flowers and the plates, she landed in the mess of shattered crystal. I was right next to Bella so the force and the shock of what just happened made me fall back and hit my head on the wall. Before I could even understand what happened, Jasper slammed into Edward and the sound was like crashing boulders in a rock slide. There was another noise sounding like a grisly snarl it seemed to be coming from deep inside Jasper's chest. Jasper tried to shove past Edward, snapping his sharp teeth just inches from Edward's face, to get to Bella, fear registered my brain – fear for Bella, my only daughter.
In the next second Emmett grabbed Jasper in such super human speed, that it all seemed like a blur. Emmett locked Jasper's arms into his massive, steel grip, but Jasper still struggled to get to Bella, his wild and monstrous eyes only focusing on Bella and the blood pulsing from her wrist to her elbow. Shock and fear burned through me, Bella winced, pain obvious on her face. She looked up at the Cullens dazed and disorientation clear in her eyes they all looked suddenly ravenous, though none of them attacked her. She looked at me and at that moment panic crossed her face, by that look; I knew that she knew what was going on here and that she already knew that they were more than human and that they were some kind of monsters.
This all happened because of one tiny paper cut, and when blood oozed out of her that's when Jasper attacked, could they be attracted to blood, like a vampire?
