After a long effort of me being casual about where we go, we have decided to drop into Forks. It won't do any harm, and I really wanted to see Charlie. Felix did not like my decision and told me that I just wanted to see... Edward. I hate thinking his name, let alone saying it. It brings back the pain I felt when I was riding away in my truck. As we started walking in the direction of Forks Jane started thinking about me. I wonder if she is still in love with him. He's not very attractive in my opinion. It was infuriating me anybody spoke about my Edward like this. Yet I relaxed when I realised if I think about him in a different context then I am not affected by the pain his name caused me. She's not even that pretty. I wonder if she can hear me. I quickly turned my head towards the road as she tried to figure out if I was listening. I fooled her. Edward once said I wasn't very good at acting. I wonder if that girl he kissed has moved on. I winced and walked faster. They sped up.
I hummed to drone out her thoughts, and then one thought hit me like a truck to a human.
I wonder if he will be my mate.
I launched myself at Jane, growling hysterically. How dare her! I snarled and bit at her, I caught her arm. But missed her neck, she had a disgusting taste to her blood. Dead. I was now on top of her throwing punches to her face. However Felix grabbed hold of me before any serious damage was made.
'What's wrong with you Bella?' she said. I was still snarling furiously, and trying to make a round two.
'Bella, what happened? You probably gave away our position by miles.' Felix whined. I looked at them both. How would I explain this? I couldn't. Not to Felix.
I jetted off into the forest, following wherever instinct took me. They couldn't chase after me, I'm too fast. It took no more than 2 minutes for me to stop dead and collapse in a meadow. It was rounded off by the trees and had an arch made of vines at one side. It was incredibly familiar, comfort existed in this place. I sat down and looked all around me, taking in the aroma of the sweet grass and the fresh water running in a stream nearby.
I suddenly picked up somebody's thoughts, they were very familiar. And they were rushing. Where is she? Oh my god it cannot be. When a fraction of a second later, I saw her. Another vampire. She stood at the clearing, her hair short black and pixie-like. Her figure was dainty and innocent. My eyes widened. 'ALICE?' I stood up, ran towards her and grabbed her in a bone-crushing hug. Well to a human.
'Oh my god, Bella. Where the hell have you been?' Do you know what you did to Edward? 'Who changed you?' Why are you here? 'Who are you with?' She was so stunned she was asking questions from her mouth and her mind.
I let go of her and held her shoulders. 'I have been with the Volturi.' I winced. 'How has he been? Felix changed me. I am here because I was ordered to go and kill a newborn and I was curious what your doing.' I rolled my eyes innocently. 'And I'm here with Felix and Jane but I ran off because..' I said it trying to decipher what she was thinking because her mind was blank and her eyes were completely wide and not blinking.
Can you read my mind? I giggled. 'Yes.' I said. Instead of her eyes getting wider again she squealed and jumped up and down with me. 'I can also steal anybody's powers, but nobody can use their powers on me. Apart from you and Jasper of course, but that's just because they are not really mental powers.' I bragged a bit, but I had the right too.
'That is unbelievable.' Alice said. 'Carlisle will go mad! Emmett will want to wrestle, Rosalie' She laughed. 'Rosalie is going to so jealous of your beauty. Esme is going to go nuts. And…' I winced I didn't like the idea of going to meet him. After all the hurt.
At that precise moment when Alice trailed off we caught the smell of Felix and Jane. A millisecond later they showed up in the clearing. Janes face was straight and obviously upset due to the cut on her arm. And Felix was sad and then happy to see me. He smiled, walked over to me and kissed my hair. He didn't do this often, only when people were around.
I knew what was coming. Bella…I... You... How can you do this to Edward? She thought it and I looked down guilty.
