My Denali bitches are more than happy to help me out. After Bella grabs a few keepsakes, I throw her on my back and bolt out the window. She isn't really comfortable with me carrying her. She says it just seems ridiculous, but I didn't have time to waste, we needed to hurry. I have a plan.
Step 1. Get Bella situated with the Denali coven. Bite Her.
Step 2. Go back to Bella's and take her truck after her dad, Charlie, goes to work. Make it look like she was driving to school or something. Then drive it off a cliff. Tragic, but efficient.
Step 3. Go shopping because I'm honestly throwing away all the clothes that she packed in her shitty duffle bag. I figure it would be better not to start an argument about it and just do it. It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
Step 4. Wait for her to wake up. Go over the finer details (aka Vampire 101). Take her out for her first hunting lesson. Just go with the flow.
Step 5. Contact family. (This is the step I hate.)
Step 6. Take cover from the shit storm that will occur after telling family. Maybe hide out from Edward for awhile. Take a vaca. I'll probably wait until he is in a better mood before I come back… after he gets laid. Yeah, that sounds good.
Bella cries a little when I show her the PowerPoint presentation. I don't let it bother me, even though I worked really hard on it. I had even added pictures and graphics. She says Step Two is just a little hard to take. Then she says her dad's name and cries a little more.
Kate kind of freaks out when the tears appear and leaves the room. I am shocked that Tanya hands her a Coke. Shocked because I didn't think they would have Coke in the house. The sugar helps her a little, which gives me an idea.
"Um, Bella? Is there anything you would like to do before you… die?"
Her head shoots up and she looks at me like I am crazy.
"I mean, human stuff… like, you are drinking a Coke right now. You won't be able to do that anymore. Sugar… cakes… even pizza… you want to order a pizza?" I don't wait for a response and snap my fingers at Tanya. "Tanya, order a pizza and get like those bread things, too…"
I tap my finger on my chin as I chant what else, what else in my head.
Irina, who has been quiet this whole time, sits up and adds, "You know what I think is hot, but can't enjoy now… smoking."
I actually think this is a good idea. If we get Bella high, then maybe she will be more relaxed when I sink my teeth in her.
"You have any pot?" I ask.
Irina raises her eyebrow. "What? Pot? No. No, I mean just cigarettes. Like, I find it sexy when a guy smokes. Would you like to try a cigarette, Bella?"
I want to tease her about the way she asked the question. Would you like to try a cigarette? I giggle a little.
Bella is still just sitting there staring at us like we are crazy.
"No, I'm good thanks. Um, Alice, can we just get this over with. The anticipation is killing me and I'm not really in the mood to eat. You know, because you are about to kill me and I'm going to lose my mom and dad."
Right.
Tanya comes back in holding a phone to her ear. "So, am I still ordering this pizza?"
Right.
I shake my head and Tanya huffs. She snaps the phone closed without apologizing to the pizza place and takes a seat on the couch near Bella.
"So, is Edward going to be pissed or what?" Tanya asks with the biggest shit-eating grin I've ever seen her wear. Ah, she must be loving this.
I ignore her and Bella drops her head. I hope she doesn't cry again. I take this time to search my visions. Everything seems to be clear sailing, so I stand and hold my hand out towards Bella.
"Come on, Bells. I'll show you your room for the next few days."
She takes it reluctantly and follows me into the guest room. I give her a tight smile and before she can panic or pass out from nerves, I bite her right on the wrist as quick as a flash. Old school vamp style in the house!
She is all wide-eyed and spasming as I lay her on the bed. Her eyes close soon enough though. I back away after I tuck her in and leave the room.
I think about how much that last season of Grey's Anatomy sucked. Cause wow. That is what I get for not using my talent, afraid of spoilers. It really went downhill after season two. I think about this and how it could have been worth watching if I had got to hear Bella's sarcastic remarks while watching it.
I think about this as I close the bedroom door behind me.
"Ok, bitches. I'm heading out to set the scene. I won't be gone long, but if Jasper calls can you tell him I expect something wrapped in a blue box with a white bow waiting for me when I get home?"
Tanya, Irina, and Kate all walk me to the door like the good hostesses they are. We hug, wave, and even smile goodbye… while Bella cries out in the distance.
Jess is number 1 in the Hood, G.
