Chapter Five: War of the Underworld

EPOV

Tanya sat down beside me, "So how do you like life in the Swan house Edward is it as terrifying as the stories?"

"Would you believe it's not," I replied with a chuckle.

"I would now that I've been here for myself, at least there feeding you, I was afraid me and Rosalie were going to have to nurse you back to health by feeding you with buckets full of blood."

I laughed along with them for a few seconds before turning my head to the side, across the over side of the room stood Alice, Mike and Emmett. They had yet to sit down unlike us lot on this side of the room. Obviously they very being respectful in waiting for Isabella's parents, I had yet to meet Renee. I watched them for a few minutes until the double doors to the dinning room were pushed open. I was expecting Charlie and Renee but instead in walked Isabella. She was dressed in a black lace figure hugging dress, with a pair of really big black boots.

I stood up with the rest of the people surrounding me to greet Isabella, one thing with us vampires we respected each other, even if we secretly hated each other.

I watched as she walked over to Alice first giving her a hug, Emmett lightly kissed Isabella's hand, Mike kissed her hand too, I watched her lips purse tightly when he kissed her hand. When it came to us from the Cullen house she shook Tanya, Rosalie and even Lauren's hands. Jasper kissed her palm lightly; when it came to me I leaned down to kiss her hand. As I pressed my lips to her hand a sharp jolt of electricity pulsed through me, I stood back up but for some reason my lips tingled and I couldn't stop this feeling of me wishing it was her lips I had kissed not her hand.

Isabella then sat herself down next to Alice which then meant all of us could sit down again, I slowly lowered myself back into my seat I hoped to forget what just happened, but my thoughts were clouded with that longing to kiss Isabella's lips.

The conversation around me picked up again, I didn't join in as much instead I ran through all the ideas of what happened.

I also tried to stop my eyes from wondering over to her, she did look very beautiful tonight the way that dressed hugged her slim curves. I had said so before she was attractive. No I could not think this way about her she was my enemy I planned to kill her. I turned away from her, and joined in the conversation again.

BPOV

I felt a sharp electricity pulse from Edward's lips into my body; I removed my hand before heading over to Alice. I sat down with her and Emmett, who was cracking his knuckles and watching Edward. I laughed before saying, "Be nice."

Emmett looked at me, "Can't I just-?"

"Nope father's orders are we play nice."

"Speaking of your father where is he and your delightful mother," asked Alice.

"Did you buy my mother a dress to wear tonight too?"

"Yep, I want to see if she looks as hot as you do in that dress."

"Hot please you want to see hot."

Emmett's eye's went big, "Heck yes." He punched his hand into the air; I grabbed it and pulled it back down. Alice and me both looked over and saw all the Cullen lot watching us.

I ducked my head before continuing, "Anyways this is hot."

I pulled up the side of my dress, which showed off my thigh holster, which contained my small blade.

"I like it," clapped Alice.

I looked over shocked Alice didn't like weapons much, "What?"

She tapped my nose, "Silly Bella, its fashion functional. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a weapon you can hide under your dress?"

"Pretty hard?"

"Exactly, now tell me do you like the dress?"

Alice's did her puppy eyes, "Honestly I love it I actually look good."

Emmett patted my back, "You always have looked more than good Bella don't you remember when we went to see Mike's family. He and his father ended up crushing on you; I believe his words were son if you don't marry her you're looking at your future mom."

My eyes went big, "What?"

"Emmett she wasn't supposed to know," Alice bashed Emmett on the head.

Emmett looked around the room, "where is the weasel anyways?"

Hang on where was Mike? I saw him when I greeted everyone and then he vanished. I looked over and saw him standing over Edward who looked extremely dulled out from whatever he was saying. I leaned over and began listening in on the conversation.

"Yeah so you stay away from Bella you should leave with your house tonight," growled Mike.

I leaned my head over so I could see what was going on, Edward stood up towering Mike.

"I think it's not up to you if I stay here or not," replied Edward with a sharp grin.

"Beside's we all know how you feel about her Newton."

Mike shoved Edward in the chest, "I would gladly die for her."

Tanya leaned on Mike's shoulders before whispering in his ear, "That could be arranged."

*Bang*

The double door's burst open and in walked my mother and father.

"What's this?" asked father. "Trouble in my house?"

Everyone stood up sharply waiting to be spoken to, I remained seated.

"Isabella, come here."

I got up from my seat, came over and stood next to my father.

"There shall be no more fighting tonight, go and eat."

The door's to the ground's opened and everyone ran out the door to go and hunt.

"Everything ok here?" asked my mother.

"Perfect, I'll be out in a minute."

She lightly touched my cheek before running out the doors also, my father followed behind her.

I stayed behind.

I had tried to fight thinking about it but it was no use. I traced my left hand over my right were Edward's lips had kissed it. What had happened I never felt it the first time he had kissed me why now? What was so special about now? He had kissed my hand before, when he first arrived and I felt nothing then.

Edward did look nice tonight.

No I must not think like that I mustn't Edward is my enemy. I have to kill him.

What do you gain from killing him?

Peace

Will the war end if you kill him or will it just start another one?

When you look at it that way if I killed Edward the fighting would never end it would always go on.

No I mustn't think this way I had to get rid of him.

"What's got your brain in knots?" asked a smooth velvet voice.

I turned around and noticed Edward leaning up against a wall with a glass in his hand. He came over and sat down next to me, "For you Isabella." He put the glass on the table.

How long had I been sitting here thinking?

"What is it?" I picked it up and swirled the glass lightly so the liquid swirled.

"Blood, well elk to be accurate."

"I had you down for mountain lion."

"Correct in thinking so but today its elk."

"Elk is fine," I sipped lightly on the drink. "Did you get this yourself?"

"Yep." He popped the "P" when he spoke.

I recalled something my mother told me, it was something to do with hunting for one another. I got it.

When vampires were interested in one another they would hunt and bring back food for there interest, it was an instinct. A way of showing the other that they could take care of them. My mother told me my father used to do it for her when she was pregnant with me. He didn't realise till she pointed it out. Was this the same case or was Edward just being nice?

I took another sip before speaking again, "Are you enjoying your stay?"

He laughed, "It's been interesting."

"How?"

"Your nothing like I imagined this is place is different as well," he sighed deeply.

"How did you imagine me?"

"Butch, when you turned up at the meeting I thought you weren't you."

"That's nice."

"Is the blood ok?" he looked at me deeply concerned.

"It's great."

We stopped talking when Mike came back through the door, he like Edward came walking in with a glass full of blood.

"Bella I got this for you," he thrust the cup up practically in my face.

I didn't want to be mean and reject him but, just before I was about to take it Edward spoke.

"I already got Bella something to eat so I think she's full. Am I right Bella?"

He looked over at me his eyes made me melt, I nodded my head.

"Great, then I'll take this. Thanks Mike."

Edward slapped Mike and the shoulder before grabbing the cup from his hand and walking off. Mike looked in a daze; his face read did that just happen?

Why yes Mike it just did.

I got up and followed Edward, "Hey you can't just do that to people."

He turned around, "Really cause I just did." he gulped down the whole glass of blood.

"A little bitter but then again Mike got it he always finds the worst things to eat."

My mother was right about the blood thing, Mike was probably well aware of what he was doing. With Edward I'm not so sure about the giving me blood thing but taking Mike's gift for me he knew exactly what he was doing.

"Don't be mean to him," my voice sounded like a child's.

"I am merely showing Mike Newton what it's like to play with the big boys."

"Play? Games are for children."

"Says the child herself."

I could tell he was mocking me, "Fine do whatever you like?"

"Why thank you I shall continue with what I already was doing, which was whatever I liked."

"Good," I turned around and walked back to were Mike was.

I ignored him instead and waited for all of them to come back. Alice was the first time come back, like me we couldn't have a heavy meal unlike Emmett who was the last to come back. Although he wasn't alone with him walked Rosalie Hale. They were in a deep conversation until they got to the door were they stopped finished up talking and came in. I could probably have heard what they were talking about but I liked to give Emmett his privacy. Although one could wonder what he was talking to Rosalie about.

When they came in the doors closed and my father decided to get us started on some entertainment.

"Renee why don't you play us something on the piano?"

My mother blushed, "I'm not that great."

"Please for me?" he begged. Sometimes my parents were too cute.

"Fine."

Mom got up and went over to the piano and started to play. The soft sounds of the piano echoed the room. I watched everyone's faces as my mom played, Edward's eyes were closed he was completely lost in the music.

When she stopped Edward's eyes remained closed but they slowly opened, when they were fully opened he became aware someone was watching him. His eyes went straight to my face; I looked away quickly and faced my mom.

"Who's next?"

Edward's smoothly said, "How about Bella?"

I took a deep breath before looking over at him, he was smirking at me, payback was written on his face. He knew I had been watching him before.

"I don't play.."

Tanya laughed, "What a shame."

"I wasn't finished," I growled. My words were dripping in harshness and venom towards her, "I don't play piano but I play something else."

Tanya gave me a death glare, "So what do you play?"

I laughed back at her, "My ears only."

Edward gave me a crooked smile, "Too bad I should have liked to hear you."

"Why don't you play for us instead?"

"If your parents allow me too I will gladly do it."

I wanted to bite my tongue.

"Excellent," Charlie clapped his hands.

Edward got up and went over to the piano; he glazed his fingers over to the top like he was stroking a cat. He gracefully sat down, before starting he pushed his messy hair out of his face.

When he started to play I went into a trance, I couldn't help myself. The music he played was sweet, it was bouncy, it was like nothing I had ever heard before. I found myself like Edward before; I closed my eyes and just absorbing in the music.

He was amazing no wonder he was so confident in playing when I kind of suggested it. The music suddenly came to a giant halt, I opened my eyes and noticed Edward was looking straight at me, he was smirking.

Everyone started to clap, I joined with them. I tried to ignore his watchful eyes the whole evening but my attempts were useless. I was well aware he was there and he knew it.

When the guests left my parents both left to head up to bed, although we didn't need to sleep they liked to. Edward had wondered off after his guests left, it had also been arranged that I was going to visit Alice in a few days. Alice being Alice had invited Edward along too, like her parents she was really too open to people.

I stayed downstairs were everyone had been only a few hours ago, I soon got bored and decided to go outside and walk. I loved the night without it we never would see the stars. At night the world was it's quietest you still had vampires about those that slept in the day came out at night and those that slept at night were awake in the day.

Before I went out into our back garden I took my black thigh boots off, I still wore my dress as I had yet to change. I left my knife though I still might need the weapon; our back garden was glorious as night. There were trees growing everywhere you could weave in between then, right in the centre of the garden was a giant circle fountain. When the sun shinned at day the pool glistened, I loved it more at night the full moon would be right above it. You could look into the pool and see the moon reflecting down. I made my way to the fountain, the ground crackled as I made my way through the trees. Sticks were snapping lightly as I walked when I got to the fountain, I sat myself down on the edge. I looked up at the sky, tonight there was a full moon. I l put my feet up and layed myself down along the edge. I sat here for a while just thinking, I seemed to be doing that alot these days. Mostly my thinking involved Edward.

Why Edward was playing these mind games with me? One minute he was giving me food the next he was messing with my head. I went over things in my head, one thing I knew killing Edward wasn't the answer but then what was?

Was marrying him the answer?

Could I do that though?

I had always promised my mother I would never marry without affection, but save the lives of all vampires would I have to.

I sat up and shook my head. I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling it over so it covered my face. I took a few deep breaths before pushing my hair back in place.

"I had a feeling you would be out here," called a voice from the trees.

I twisted my head around looking for who it was, I caught sight of them and then they would vanish. I placed my hand on the side of my dress, I was about to pull it up and bring out my blade when I saw who it was.

"Don't do that!" I screeched. On the other side of the fountain sat Edward Cullen. He was lying down in the same position as me.

"Did I scare you?" He got up and crawled around the edges like a predator hunting its prey. Me being the prey of course.

"No."

"Liar, I know I did and for that I am sorry."

He was now sitting directly in front of me, his skin glowed a crystal white in the moon light. He reached his hand out and touched my cheek. I shook it off before standing up and walking along the fountain edge.

"Why are you here?"

He looked at me hurt, "Couldn't sleep."

I laughed, "Really?"

"Nope," like before he popped the "P" as he spoke.

"Do you always act like this?"

"Only with you."

"Lucky me."

"Yeah you are lucky."

I ran my hand through my hair pushing it out my face; Edward did the same thing with his hair.

Edward looked at me he chewed on his lip, "Can I ask you question?"

"You just did but yes you may."

"Do you think we could start the training tomorrow?"

"I don't see why not."

"Great and also do you have like any powers or something?

What?

"Excuse me?"

"Well you know how some vampires can have abilities do you have those?"

"Nope." I popped the "P" like him.

"Seriously?"

"Yep."

"I've got to go."

Just as fast as he arrived he left. I watched his back and he walked away slowly.

I wonder what that was all about....

EPOV

Great if she doesn't have a power that doesn't explain the whole spark thing when I kissed her hand. I thought maybe she lost control or something and shocked me but no. I was wrong.

I had a lot of things to be worried about but hopefully one would soon be off my plate.

I was going attracted to her, I could tell and one thing I knew I would die before I loved her. Thing is when you plan things you never imagine all the options. Falling for her wasn't an option, Isabella Swan you're going down.

BPOV

I remained sitting there for a while, still thinking about the things Edward had said. It seemed he said one thing but his body was doing different. I knew he didn't like me, just as much as I didn't like him but I couldn't help myself in hoping he would learn to like me.

I was going to save my family but the only question was.

How?

Could you learn to love the person you hate?

I shook my head fast and sharp. The answer was no.
