Chapter 7
(2 weeks later)
Ugh. Turns out I'm not so much their pet as the science experiment. Somehow Quil and Paul got this idea in their heads that if they could catch me off guard, I wouldn't have time to activate my shield. It's a completely idiotic idea because it's not like I chose to be this way, but nothing I say about it seems to convince them. It seems like every time I turn a corner, they're Bella-sandwiching me or table-toppling me. I'd probably die of a heart attack if it wasn't for Jake attempting to keep them in check.
I decided to try to escape the gang for a bit (maybe I should call them a cult, because the more I think about it, the werewolves were SUCH a cult) so I decided to walk along the beach. It sounded like a good idea at Sam's crowded house, but once I was alone and strolling aimlessly in the sand, I couldn't help but think of… him.
I tried thinking of other things; nice things. I focused on the squishyness of the sand between my toes, the beautiful sound the waves made as the gently flowed on the shore, but then I couldn't resist anymore and found a log next to the cliffs where I could sit and thoroughly mope while looking across the horizon.
I know it sounds very cliché, sitting looking at the endless ocean and pondering my broken heart, but I see how those tortured heroines get off on doing it. It's almost like, because the ocean is so constant and so huge, it makes my troubles seem meaningless, insignificant. I began to feel calm. And of course, that made me think of doing something exciting.
I realized I was right next to the spot where the boys liked to go "cliff jumping". This had never seemed like my cup of tea, but at the moment I was fed up with being useless and weak. So, even though it was cheating with my invulnerability, I took off my jacket and stepped up to the ledge.
I took a deep breath, smelling the overwhelming perfume of the sea, and jumped.
And then I was flying.
And then… a very audible SMACK! was heard. It took me a few seconds to realize it was from my body hitting the surface and only then did I see that I was 20 feet below the surface with no way of finding out which way was up.
And apparently, while I may be immune to pain and harm… I still need oxygen. My lungs were bursting so I prayed to whatever deity chose to listen and kicked in one direction.
Turns out God, Allah, Zeus, or maybe Buddha I guess listened and I broke the surface. I stayed there for a bit breathing deeply then I started smiling, first a small smirk then a full on grin as I realized how proud of myself I was.
I swam back to shore and stood there panting.
"Take that Edward!" I screamed to the open air.
"Hmmm, what an interesting thing to say," purred a voice from behind me. I whipped around to face the speaker.
And immediately wished I hadn't. I may not have recognized the voice, but I definitely recognized her hair and catlike red eyes.
Victoria stood in front of me. I froze and my eyes widened as I imagined what she must be doing here.
I mean, my vampire killed her vampire. She could only be here for revenge: a.k.a "kill me time".
I decided to try to stall her until the pack got here.
"Oh hey Victoria! Long time no see!" I said stupidly.
She raised an eyebrow and gave me a look.
"Cut the chit chat bitch," she said tiresomely. "We both know why I'm here."
"Ah, well I'm assuming you are doing this to hurt Edward then. Too bad that won't work," I said, trailing off. I crossed my fingers mentally that this would work.
Her raised eyebrow lowered into a confused expression. "What is that supposed to mean?"
I shrugged, still unable to bring myself to tell her what had happened.
She continued to look confused until realization dawned on her face. Then an evil smirk took its place as she said, "So he left you. I wondered what was so special about you that would make him keep a human around. Apparently nothing."
I won't lie and say it didn't hurt, but it was the truth. I looked down at my feet and tried to ignore the gaping hole in my heart. "Yeah," I mumbled, "They don't care about me anymore so you're revenge scheme is for naught. Sorry."
She honestly looked disappointed. Then she shrugged her sparkling shoulders and said, "Oh well. I am hungry anyway so I'll just eat you without the satisfaction." She then knelt and got ready to pounce.
Shit I thought. I closed myself and braced myself for the pain that was sure to come.
Pain. Wait. I was immune to pain. I was immune to harm.
She found out a second after I did.
"What the hell!" She cursed as she slid right off of me and onto the ground in front of me. She tried again and bounced right off of me and into a poor pine tree that had the misfortune of being nearby. Needless to say it toppled over.
Frustrated, she ran at me and tried to grab my arm. Her hand slid off and fell at her side. She then tried to skip death and just try to feed. She dug her teeth into my throat, or tried to. Her hit something with a clang and her left incisor actually chipped.
She backed away and looked with horror at the small bit of white tooth in her hand. She turned to me with some fear in her eyes and whispered, "What are you?"
Impressed by myself I answered honestly. "I have absolutely no idea."
She looked back at the tooth in her hand and took off running as Jake the wolf burst through the trees.
