Now Back to Edward.
See? I told you it wasn't going to be that long. The next one will be out soon as well! Please review and enjoy!
I was leaning against the wall of the only thrift shop in Forks. I could hear Alice's quiet voice talking to Rosalie.
"Rose! Get that one! No, not that one. That's disgusting. Yes, that! Ooh, Jasper would look amazing in this. Rose! I like this one for you. Try it on. No, don't give me that look just put it on." Alice's chirping went on, with Rosalie grunting here or there.
Edward, you're lucky I'm not one to kill family members. Ugh, I seriously hate this thing Alice made me put on. Edward Cullen, you better do something about her. I heard Rosalie saying in her head.
Oh, Rosalie. She doesn't know what it feels like to have the love of your life slipping away from you. All I could do was stand outside the shop, staring at one spot. All I could think about was Bella. What if he was hurting her? What if she's scared? I can't be there to hold her hand, or hold her close.
My anger boiled when I thought about it, so I tried focusing on the plan so I could keep my control.
Alice came out of the store with bags in her hands.
"Edward, come on. We have one more stop, and then we're off. Rosalie? You ready?"
Rosalie stalked out of the store. "Yes. Let's get this over with."
Rosalie looked at me, and then her rigid posture softened.
Edward, don't worry. We'll get her, alright? Don't worry, ok?
I nodded stiffly. "Yes. Let's go."
Carlisle and the others hadn't come with us. They were home, ironing out the details of our plan to get Bella. It was just Alice, Rosalie and I running around town, breaking into stores. I had insisted that we leave money for all the things we were talking. To that, Alice just rolled her eyes.
Our next stop was the nearest optometrist office for some colored contacts. Alice was very excited to get some blue ones for her and jasper. Rosalie chose brown ones for her, and I chose green ones. I always knew that I originally had green eyes, but I never could remember what I had looked like with them. This would be an interesting experiment.
The others got a random selection of brown, blue and green to wear. Once we were done with that, we headed for home to get ready. The secret vampire's thoughts had faded, so I was rushing everyone along to get to Bella.
At the house, we all changed into our disguises. Rosalie was absolutely apalled for having to wear second-hand clothing, but my look of death quieted her quickly. When we were all done, we met in the living room to prepare for our move. On the way there, i stopped in front of a mirror to look at my new appearance.
I was instantly shocked to the point where I did a double-take.
Was...that how I used to look? It must have been. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so surprised. My eyes...they were just how I remembered them. That green color was almost identical to how they used to be. I never thought I could look like my old self again, but here I was, green eyes and all. Edward Mason.
The clothes, however, were a bit of a change. I wore weathered jean shorts with a California-style cotton tee-shirt. It had Palm trees on it. Whoever donated this piece of clothing was obviously not from around here.
Snapping back to the present, I continued to the living room to meet with my family. When I got there, I received stares and open mouths.
"Edward," Alice said with wide eyes. "You look so...different."
"As do you, Alice. That was the point, remember? Now please, can we hurry? We don't have much time."
"Right," Carlisle spoke to my right. "We must get this done, and done right."
