DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING TWILIGHT
A/N: I'm sorry guys! I got angry last chapter because I was going through some rough issues with my exboyfriend... and I had a really nasty cold! I haven't updated recently because I've been going through a hard move to the north but I was finally able to get on the computer!
Chapter 5
Bella's POV
Is this girl mental? I mean I can believe in vampires and werewolves, it was proven to me that they are very much real, but Guardians? That's just ridicules on a whole different level! Never mind that whatever they are, Guardian or not Kit is gorgeous, I couldn't help but be a little jealous of her. Though it was easy for me to see she was just putting on a tough act, she has been through something terrible during her lifetime.
I looked up to see how Jasper was taking this absurd situation, but he was only shaking his head over and over again. If he had been human I was sure he would've been dizzy by now. I heard him muttering to himself, "I must be dreaming, this is all a dream. I am not on the devil's most wanted list, and there is not a family of Guardians in my living room." His eyes were screwed shut, as if he hoped enough it would all just go away, and everything would go back to normal.
Kit smiled sympathetically, this may or may not happen all the time to her. "I'm sorry to break it to you, but it is true, and very much real."
Jasper sighed, running a pale hand through his chin length golden waves. "Pardon me, it's just a lot of information to handle." I can see why too, it's not every day you go home to see your long lost best friend with people who claim to be Guardians, a species of mythical creatures no one has ever heard of.
I nodded in agreement, and watched as Vayne stood up and walked over to me. I heard a quiet but deep, menacing growl come from Jasper, I didn't understand it. He simply feared for my safety. Right? After all, we were just told Vayne is or was an evil wizard.
Vayne didn't look like he cared as he took my hands in his. They were so warm… I looked up into his eyes, they were like pits of nothing, but they seemed so inviting, you could get lost in them. His voice was sweet and smooth, and very much alluring. "Please understand… we don't want anything bad to happen to you and Mr. Whitlock."
Jasper looked confused, it seems he has not been called that in a long time. "Mr. Whitlock?"
Vayne tore his gaze from mine. I stood there for a second in shock. I shook my head and saw Kit trying not to laugh, she obviously knew the effects of his eyes.
Vayne nodded, "Yeah thought I should be proper. Seems more fitted for the situation."
Jasper chuckled, seeming to just realize Vayne was talking to him. "My father was Mr. Whitlock, just call me Jasper."
Vayne seemingly a lot more relaxed now, smiled and laughed, "Sorry man, I'm not really good with being proper. It makes me seem really awkward."
"It's alright."
I smiled and walked over to Kit who was watching them and smiling. When I stood next to her she was about a half a foot taller than me. "It's nice that he has a friend now. Where we come from no one liked any of us…" She looked down at me and smiled, it didn't really reach her eyes.
I frowned, behind those eyes it seemed like there was a world sadness, hurt, and hate. "What's wrong?" I asked aloud.
She looked down at me with a pained expression. I noticed that everyone was now quiet and watching us. All of the Guardians stared at me, their mouths gaping and eyes were wide. They all looked terrified for me, I had obviously said something I wasn't supposed to.
Fuck… what did I get myself into?
Kit sighed and ran her fingers through her long caramel colored hair and smiled, "I don't know what you're talking about, hun."
I decided to drop it, didn't want to be a nuisance.
Kit turned to face Jasper who was talking to Vayne, "Excuse me, it's getting late and almost time for dinner, may I use your kitchen?"
Jasper shrugged, "Sure, we never really used it anyway."
Kit said a quick thank you and disappeared into the kitchen followed by Jessie who said she was going to help.
"Hey Bella, why don't you go help the girls?" Peter asked.
I nodded, "O-okay…" I slowly walked into the kitchen feeling eyes on me.
