Part 2
Bpov
While listening to the legends I felt like I was in an almost state of sleepyness. My eye's were half closed but I wasn't bored it was as if I was seeing the whole thing play out in my mind. I was carefull to pay special attention to the part which explained the wolves history hoping it might help me understand myself and the wolves more.
When it was over everyone went to the table to get desert I was really happy when I saw some missing slices of the cake I brought. I saw Sam with one and I couldn't keep from smiling. Even Leah had some maybe it was a scilent amens.
*Ring Ring*
I looked down to my pocket.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Bell it's me, Tristan" he said.
"Bell?"
"Well Bella can be such a mouth full sometimes, so is it okay for me to just call you Bell?"
"Yeah sure knock your self out" I giggled.
"Cool. You having fun?"
"Its alright I guess" I shrugged.
"That's good."
I looked around and saw people looking at me expectingly.
"I gotta go. I'll text you later, okay?"
"Okay Bye"
"Bye" I whispered. After I put my phone back in my purse I walked over to the rest of the pack.
"So do you guys wanna to race or not?" Quil smirked.
"Huh?" I said.
"They want to go race the dirt bikes" Embry answered me.
"Sound like fun" I said sarcasticly.
"Come on Sam it'll be fun or are you too chicken shit?" Paul said crossing his arms.
"Shut the hell up Paul" Sam glared at Paul while he only smiled. "Fine lets go."
"Yeah!" they all shouted while high fiving eachother. They headed toward to the dirt road ahead.
I was about to follow them until someone grabed my wrist. When I turned I saw it was Leah.
"Why don't you and me take a walk?" she asked smiling.
"Okay um let me just put my bag down" I smiled my heart was jumping I think she might want to be friends.I walked over to Emily who was chatting with the adults and asked her to watch my bag.
"Leah don't try anything funny" Sam growled.
"Wouldn't dream of it" she purred.
The walk was akward I wanted to talk but I didn't know what to say adventually we stop to a hault.
"Where are we?" I panicked a little we were on top of a cliff. How did we get here so fast? Was I so engrossed in thought that I just didn't notice the whole walk?
"On top over the cliff. Did you know that people like to cliff dive here?" she said looking toward the dark sky. Was she going to apoligize for what happened at Billy's house? And all dramatic like on t.v?
"I know what you are" she looked at me in the eye I froze.
"Oh you do? So what am I excatly?" I raised my brow and crossed my arms. I tried to seem cool but I was pretty sure she could hear my heart hammering in my chest.
"You're a vampire arn't you?" I didn't responed.
"I know how your kind are, your only going to cause trouble so why don't you just get the hell out of here?" she continued she was walking toward me so I backed away.
"I heard leeches can swim why don't we test this out?"
"You're crazy-" I started but was cut off when I fell.
I screamed the whole way down my heart thumped so hard I thought it would stop before I even hit the water.
When I did hit the water I don't know which hurt more. Was it the ice cold water? The back flop? Or the fact that that I just used up my last breath by screaming and now had the urge to cough? Maybe all of the above.
The water shot through my skin like a thousand tiny icy knifes.
My head bobbed out of the water to the surface but a wave came rolling and crashing into me.
No no no not like this I Cant't die like THIS! I still haven't got my first kiss!
Thoughts flooded my head on how it seemed I waisted my life.
Am I gonna die? Oh God my chest it hurts so bad...
It seemed the more I needed to breath the more I thrashed around for air. I flapped my arms and kicked my legs and only felt as if a cramp was going to form in my leg. Adventualy I couldn't tell which way was up and down I was lost and scared.
My Lungs hurt!
I wish I had gills. Gills! The idea hit me like a baseball in the face.
I tried to conjer up so gills but as my hands glowed blue nothing happen so then I tired to make an oxygen tank but nothing happened.
I'm so scared why isn't my magic working? Someone please... please help me. I think I'm going to die. I shut my eyes tight I felt like I might start crying my throat started to close up as I despreatly tried to hold on to my last breath.
My body feels like I'm going to explode!
As the water kept consuming me the waves pushed me around like a rag doll making me smack into a rock.
"Haa" my last breath was now bubbles I tried to breath from reflex immediately my nose started to hurt. My eyelids became so heavy and it started to get darker.
Someone help me... Sa-
...
Who's arms are these?
"Can I play with you?" I asked my face felt warm from the blood rushing to my cheeks it alot of courage to ask them that. They were at the kitchen playset which I despratly wanted to play house at. I looked at the three girls who stared back at me then looked back at one another then smiled.
"Okay" They said in sync and smiled making me smile too.
"What's your name I'm Sara this is Amy" Sara pointed the blonde girl with straight hair. "And this is Laila" She pointed to the brown curly haired girl both of them waved at me
"Hi I'm Isabella" I waved back at them. I moved closer to the kitchen play set.
"What are you guys playing?" I asked.
"Princess" Amy said.
"Can I be a princess too?" I asked looking for another crown in the toy box.
"No, you have to be a servant" Sara snaped.
"Oh okay"I whispered. I was kind of sad that I couldn't be a princess through, maybe tomorow they let me.
The whole time we played they only bossed me around but I was the servant so it was okay. After recess I sat down on the mat ready for Mrs Hanna to read us a story.
"That Isabella girl is pretty, huh?" I jumped from hearing my name.
"Yeah more than Sara or her group. She looks like a real princess" I smiled and felt my cheeks get warm I was happy.
*Ring Ring~*
"Schools over. Time line up kids" Mrs. Hanna announced.
I saw Sara and the rest of them and walked over to them.
"Bye you guys see you tomorow" they all glared at me.
"Hmph."
"Whatever." When they walked away they bumped into me knocking me down.
"Ouch! What was that for?" I cried but no one heard over the roar of little kids just leaving me to rub my sholder.
"Isabella how was your first day of kindergarten?" Mommy lifted me up from the ground.
"It was fun." I said forgeting what just happened.
"What did you do?"
" Well Mrs. Hanna read to us and we learned about all about shapes then we painted and had recess! And I got a star sticker!" I poked out my chest to show her the shinny shape on my chest.
"Thats great! Now lets go home. Mommy is tired from working all day."
"Okay" I grabbed her hand and we walked to the car.
*Next day*
Today we had recess outside the sky was so blue and the breeze felt so nice and soft on my cheek. Most of the kids ran to the swings but I walked over to the mini club house with the slide but I changed my path as soon as I saw Sara Amy and Laila.
"Can I play with you guys again?" I asked today I brought my baby doll so we could play house.
"No" Sara barked at me the other to just smiled crossing their arms I on the other hand flinched.
"But- but why I brought my doll and we can play"- I started to babble.
"I can't belive you wanted to show off that thing" she laughed as if it was the funniest thing in the world.
"I have prettier ones we can play with" I inisted.
"Hold your breath cause we don't care." The other girls started to snicker.
"Plus we don't play with ugly girls" Sara sneered at me while the other two just laughed more.
"Ugly" I croaked I had a bad feeling in my stomach "But I'm not ugly."
"Yes you are" Amy replied.
"Very ugly" Laila commented.
As soon as they said that tears streamed out of my eyes and I fell to my knees after they kicked sand at me and laughed more.
"Look at her eyes!" by now the crowed grew bigger.
'What's going on?'
"She's a freak!"
"And a cry baby."
"Hahaha!"
I stood up and ran. I ran all the way to the big tree at the end of the playground and just sobbed.
Why are they so mean? What did I do to make them mad? Why?
"Why are you crying?" I looked at the boy standing before had straight shaggy black hair and crystal clear green blue eyes.
"None of your beeswax" I muttered sniffed drying the tears slightly embaressed he saw me crying.
"Yeah, did you get picked on too?" He noted.
"Picked on?" I repeated trying to process the meaning.
"Did they do anything mean?" He said as if knowing exactly who 'they' are.
"Yeah. They- they said I was ugly and they didn't want to play with me" I started to cry again.
"Then they were picking on you. Don't worry their stupid and jealous. Alot of the people here are jerks even the adults" he spat out puffing up his cheeks.
"Oh did that happen to you?" I asked looking at him was I not the only one?
"Yeah those guys over there pushed me cause I didn't let them play with my action figure. And you know what they did?" He balled his hands at his side.
"What?" I was know interested.
"They broke it!" he fumed.
"Aw I'm sorry" I apologized feeling bad for him.
"Nah it's okay you didn't do anything."
Suddenly it grew sclient.
"Do you want to play?" he asked to me all of a sudden.
"But boy's don't play with girl's" it was the way it was supose to be. Right?
"So?"
"But-"
"Well do you want to play or not?" he demanded standing up.
"Umm well okay. Let's play house I'll be the mommy and you can be the daddy." I said excited
"Okay but who will be the baby?" he said scraching his head looking around
"She will." I said pulling out my baby doll from behind me.
"What? But I wanted a boy!" he exlaimed.
"Shh! Our daughter will hear you!" I covered her ears.
"Fine. Lets go over there to the tree stump that can be our table."
"Okay!"
"Honey I'm home!"
"Welcome!" I giggled already cheering up.
"What's cookin'?"
"Pie." I brought the ball of mud and grass to him.
"Yummy" he pretened to eat it exagerating the sound of eating.
"Hehe your silly." I laughed.
"Hey your not sad anymore! Yay!" he pumped his fist in the air "Mission acomplished!" doing this only made me laugh more.
"Hey I forgot whats your name?" I asked realizing that I hadn't asked what his name was.
"Oh yea I'm ... what's your name?" he smiled over at me.
"I'm Isabella Black" I announced proudly.
"Thats a long name. How about I call you ... Bella?"
"Bella... that's pretty." I whispered the last part smiling.
From then on we always played together. When I found out we were in the same class I started to sit with him during story time stand by him when we lined up. Even though we had to sit at diffrent places during lunch we always ended up play together during recess. When the girls tried to make fun of me he was always there to defend me.
"You see Bella we don't need those stupid people. We have each other and thats all that matters" He always seemed to talk like that a lot saying that being diffrent was more fun than having to fit in but sometimes I still wanted to be accepted none the less.
"Do you think it will be like this forever? Just you and me?" I asked looking at him. We were watching clouds, today was one of those days when we actually had a few clouds in the sky.
"Of course. It will always be like this, even when we grow up" he leaned on his elbow and looked at me. "Only you and me against the world!"
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know I heard it now T.v" He replied in a bashful way.
"Pinky swear?" I sat up and stuck my pinky out.
"Pinky swear." He promised me he and I would stick together.
A few months later~
"I'm sorry Bella" he gave me a hug and tried to wipe away the hot tears that ran down my face.
"But you- you said that- we'd be - to-together forever" I sobbed gulping for air in between every other word. "You- you're my best friend!" I grabbed hold on him to keep from breaking apart.
"I'm going to keep my promise! I'll come back for you don't worry!" he grabbed me at arms length and looked me in the eye. "Okay?" He yelled at me. "When we grow up I'll come back and we can get ma-married. Okay" he said softly blushing.
I nodded my head not knowing what to say.
"Don't cry smile your not as pretty when you cry" he wiped a tear off my cheek. I ws going to ask him what he ment when the sound of a car honking stoped me and all I could do to stop from crying was to bite my lower lip.
"Here I have to go. Remember wait for me okay? And smile" he said running he kept looking back and kept waving.
I tried to force a smile but I'm sure it looked like an ugly and broken smile amd waved weakly back at him.
'Wait for me...' I felt a single tear fall out of the corner of my eye I didn't bother to wipe it away I felt as if I was forzen to that spot.
When my mom came to pick me up from school two minutes later she asked me what was wrong I just shook my head. I made a promise to my self that day that I would never forget those crystal colored eyes and raven hair or the promise we made.
"Oh my God is she dead?"
"She isn't moving what are we going to do?"
"Calm down everyone she can't be dead otherwise ... Here I'm going to check her pulse" This voice, I know this voice. Suddenly I felt a small weight on my chest. My chest it's not in pain anymore but my throat it hurts so much ... Why is my whole body so sore. I started coughing feeling as if I was going to spit out water.
"She's coughing!" I opened my eyes and saw people crowding around me I immediatly reconized them as the pack.
"It's cold" I gasped immediatly shivering I couldn't feel my limbs.
"Here" Sam immediatly swooped me into his warm arms and I goosebumps all over my skin. Having his arms wraped around me it almost felt like I was being wraped in a small fire.
"My- b- bag please!" I asked to no one in paticular.
"You just came out of the ocean and all your care about is your bag?" Sam sounding almost angry.
"I need -to call someone" my teeth kept chattering making me sound like a complet idiot.
"Let me get you inside first okay?" his eyes looked as if they were pleiding. I could only nod my head at this point. Once inside they set me on the couch and gave me a blanket.
"My bag" by now my teeth stop chattering so I wasn't stuttering anymore.
"Here" Emily handed my bag.
"Thank you" I held it close to me looking for my phone. When I found it I dialed Tristans phone after a couple of rings he finally picked up the phone.
"Tristan please come pick me up and bring a towel. Please."
"Okay I'm on my way" I was glad he did ask any questions.
"Why are you calling that guy?" he frowned his eyebrows seeming confused.
"He is my friend" I said sternly.
"Why do you want to leave?"
"Because I can see I'm not welcome here" I looked over to Leah who just looked away while Sam shot her a glare.
'I'm so stupid. I never learn.'
For the time being I waited they tried to offer me tea when I would sneez or cough but I refused. The was a knock at the door I looked up and stood behind Sam who opened the door.
"Bella? I brought the towle like you asked. What's wrong?" he asked. "What happened?" His eyes looked so cold right then like ice, it was kind of scary.
"I'll tell you later just take me home for now. Bye everyone" I said trying to leave as fast as possible.
"Here I brought this helmet just in case." He put it on my head smiling a little when he saw how it fit on me.
"Thanks, what about the towel?" insted of just of handing me it he wraped the towel around me puting safety pins in the middle so it would hold up on it's own.
"Hop on" he said when he got on the mortercycle.
"I've never ridden on a mortercycle is it hard?" maybe I should have thought about this more throuoly.
"Not really here get on" I got on behind him "Now hold onto me." I wraped my arms around his waist and looked at the house which they brought me to. It was Billy's red house I looked at the door and caught Sam's gaze he didn't flinch away and I couldn't either his black coffee colored eyes swalloed me up. I only broke away when the sound of the mortercycle startled me making me hold on to Tristan tighter.
"Tristan I don't want to go home yet" I yelled.
"Do you want you want to hang out at my place?"
"If it's okay."
When we got to the little white house he rushed me inside his place was pretty homey.
He took out a two cups and filled them both with what smelled like hot chocolate.
"I made hot chocolate. I thought it might warm you up I'll get you a blanket if you want" he said figiting.
"Nah it's okay" I held the cup close to my face the steam gave me goosebumps.
"Bella what the hell happened?"
"That bitch pushed me off the cliff!" I couldn't hold it in anymore I put the cup down while my eyes started to feel warm and watery.
"What?" Tristan stood up he looked just as mad as I felt. "Why did she do that?"
"I don't know that bitch is crazy. I thought I was going to die oh my God I was scared" I put my face in my hands my heart was still racing from what happened.
I felt him wrap his arms around me.
"It's okay we don't need them."
"But one good thing came out of this though" I said remembering the dream.
"Oh and what was that?" he smiled kindly.
"I had a dream of when I was in kindergarten" I laughed what was a horribly sad memory then was now a bitter sweet reminder that I wasn't always alone.
"Really what was it about?"
"I remembered of an old friend I had the only thing is I can't remember his name or his face only his eyes. Isn't that wierd?" he frowned his eyebrows seeming deep in thought.
"Hm yeah speaking of kindergarten do you have any pictures? I want to see little Bella" he said grinning.
"If I show my pictures then you have to show me yours."
"Deal!" after talking for a while watching T.v I decided I was dry enough to go home.
"Hey Bella I forgot to ask you why did you want to come to place?" he asked.
"Oh I just didn't want to worry my Aunt. Sorry I must have intruted" I said.
"It's okay. Do you want a ride?"
"No I'm fine."
"You sure."
"Yeah well see ya later buy!" I waved at him and started to walk away once I was out of sight I climed a tree and jump from tree to tree like a monkey.
I was going to keep going when I saw the pack in their wolf forms. I couldn't listen into their conversation since if I tried they might notice a disterbance in the force plus I was still worn out from my "swim".
But from what I could tell the black wolf was growling at the gray as it kneeled the rest of the wolves just watched. I kind of felt like I was watching something from the animal channel and with a sci fi twist.
The black wolf snapped at the grey wolf while it whined I layed my head against the trunk of the tree and closed my they left I immediatly ran home.
"I'm home! Hello Aunt V? Koda?" All the lights had been shut off when I came in which was kind of weird since it was only 11 p.m. After I set my stuff down I walked over to kitchen table and saw a bag and note on it. In the bag was some clothes and the note read...
'Bella sorry not time to explain I have to leave now cause they are after me- us so I'm going to lead them in the oppsite way from where we are. I left some clothes in the bag Koda will know what to do.'
"They? Who the hell is that?" I asked myself still confused about the whole thing "Whatever I guess I'll stay put."
I took out the clothes from that bag it was a pair of shorts and a T-shirt but it was guy clothes and it was kind of big like for a twenty something old.
"What the hell? This is all so weird" I held the clothes up and examined them. Out of the blue I heard the door knob shake, I cluched the clothes tightly and tensed up I felt like I couldn't move as if I was now a rock.
When the door opened I turned slowly and saw the dark silhouette of a tall man.
Hey guys sorry for this crappy chapter I didn't have enough time to edit this "rough draft". So as I'm sure you can tell this chapter is about twice as long as what I usually write a for one chapter but I thought I'd write more since I might not post another chapter for maybe two months.
So when I get back (I'll be out of town for a while) I'll finish editing this chapter! :) Also I'm still on the hunt for a beta if anyone is interested ;)
Review! :D
