Chapter 4 – Control
…..
Bella POV:
When I stood up and everyone looking at me, why were they looking? I glanced to my feet and saw a man, a man I had just killed and I felt nothing for him, in fact I ached to do it again.
Jane and Alec smiled at me from a distance in a flash I was by there side puling them both into a tight hug, 'Ouch…you're stronger than us, careful!' they both complained; I only weakened my hold on them slightly.
'So Bella, now it's the fun part, do you have a gift?' asked Heidi excitedly, 'I'm not sure but, you all have a colourful glow around you, is that normal? Aro can you read my mind?' I inquired.
Aro took my hand gently which followed to a frustrated shaking of his head. 'Why isn't my gift working on anyone!' Jane moaned everyone looked at her disapprovingly.
'Got it!' Heidi exclaimed 'Bella can block vampire's mental powers, not to mention her exceptional beauty; she must help me with dinner'. Alec smirked at Heidi's last comment.
Aro sighed how he could turn down such a request; 'Bella may help you, firstly take her down to the grounds and properly acquaint her with our tasty friends. Oh and take Felix'.
It seemed I had no choice in the matter but I was in no position to argue. I was hungry.
As we ran to the grounds, I remembered them, the Cullen's. I stopped running and walked at a human pace, 'is it coming back, your memories?' Heidi asked, I propped myself up against a wall and I nodded unable to speak; 'It's ok Bella. You have Jane, Alec and I now', looking into her eyes I knew she was right, that part of my life was over, I was a vampire now and they were gone. I forced my pain away, took a deep un-needed breath and continued running to the grounds.
'Your doing very well Bella, Heidi, how about you show Bella here how it is done?' Felix suggested; Heidi had a mischievous grin plastered on her face and walked towards the mouth watering specimens.
'When its your turn you simple play the part of a tour guide your going to sell them a tour of the castle for $10, just flirt a bit, flip your hair. They can't resist!' Felix explained. I watched Heidi from a distance, I can do this.
Now it was my turn. I floated towards a man who looked about 25 years old, 'Hello sir, my name is Bella. I would like too offer you a chance to have one of the best experiences possible while you're here and it's only going to cost $10!' I lied, Sold. ! 'Sure' the man replied instantly, he didn't even ask what it was!
We didn't need Felix after all I controlled myself well. Heidi and Felix were relieved, excited and most of all envious it took them years to master this skill.
We had acquired a group of fifteen people now; we led them up the stairs and asked them to wait in a lounge, as we went to announce to the rest of our coven 'dinner was served'.
Heidi led the humans into dining room so the humans saw a familiar face before we joined her to indulge them.
When everyone was full we disposed of the bodies and retreated to the hall.
'Well Bella I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say we are all so proud of you!' Jane announced; I had only been born this morning and I had already achieved so much.
I retreated back to my bedroom and thought back to when my heart was still beating, never would I have even thought about drinking humans, but what choice did I have? Human blood was so delicious and with everyone else drinking it how could I resist?
Jane had fetched a huge trunk of clothes I could keep, all brand new, some designer she had very good taste. The mountains of clothes and accessories meant I would never need to go shopping again, now that was s relief.
Heidi burst in my room at that point, jumped on my bed and patted the space next to her I quickly filled it. 'Bella, I must tell you something important,' she began 'You've been here a while now and Demitri has been changing Alice Cullen's visions they will think your still human in Forks' They mention of her name made to freeze up but I soon convinced myself that part of my life was gone and she continued 'Its better this way' she finished. 'I understand' I surrendered.
Edward POV:
Normally my family sensed my heightened mood when I was visiting Bella; well checking on her and this time was no exception.
It was only a week now; my excitement was nearly at breaking point, even though I knew that when I had to leave I would be filed with unimaginable pain.
It had been two years and three months since I had left Bella, it felt like a lifetime. Alice was seeing visions of her getting on with her life, she looked happy, finally moving on, she was getting even closer to that mongrel Jacob Black. It killed me to see her with him.
I decided to go hunting with Emmett to pass the time and turn my eyes back to the gold they should be; maybe I would catch a few mountain lions, I thought about the warm tasty blood in my mouth and venom began to fill it.
'Ready!' I shouted upstairs, he was saying goodbye to Rosalie and that; that could take some time; they had a very intimate relationship.
Alice mentioned going shopping with Esme later; Rosalie suddenly appeared by her side, that certainly got her attention. 'Shopping, did someone say shopping?' she panicked excitedly her hair sticking up in different directions; Emmett emerged at the top of the stairs looking tidier than his other half.
'Forget about me did you?' I concluded, with a sly sarcastic wink.
'Are you ready, Edward?' he said dismissively, 'Yes, for nearly an hour!' I reminded him 'Bye' we both called out, receiving several replies.
Emmett put on Paramore-Decode I didn't particularly care for the song but Emmett had control of the stereo as he was the passenger.
When we arrived I stepped out of the car and could instantly smelt a mountain lion and gave into my senses. The lion was drained quickly and I smelt another after draining that one I went to find Emmett and help pitch the tent.
As usual, Emmett was already covered in blood when I found him; he was such a messy eater especially when he was hungry.
'Nearly forgot you were a vampire there, Eddie! It's nice to see your eyes the right colour.' Emmett stated with a sympathetic smile.
Alice POV:
'Yey' I squealed in a very high pitched voice, I was so excited that we were visiting Bella I missed her so… much. I know Edward is doing this for her good but I was still very angry with him for making me leave her alone in Forks.
Jasper covered his ears when I got excited, my gorgeous husband how did he put up with me? He found it hard being around everyone when their emotions were negative; I tried my best to be happy for his sake.
I was counting down the days until we were visiting Bella one week left. Edward was getting rather annoyed with my constant reminder, it was quite funny. I could keep doing it because this future would never change it was definitely going to happen.
I saw Bella everyday in my visions, she was getting on with her life, and she was getting better. I saw her go to the meadow a while ago she wanted to remember us and that meant everything to me, but she hadn't been back since she had visited Jacob Black and recently Charlie seemed to be getting a lot more sleep, they were all coping well.
Just one more week!
