"Hey Anna, come outside and watch its rather amusing!" Rosalie giggled and we walked outside watching the boys twist and turn in a blur. Every now and then Emmett would fall over laughing and Todd would get thrown out in which he'd laugh heartedly.
"Boys" Rosalie, Alice and I all said in union which sent us in tears of laughter. I looked at Todd lovingly and suddenly all his attention was on me; Jasper tackled him and he said he was going to take a break. He jogged over to me and picked me up, spun me round and kissed me lightly. Rosalie and Alice looked swooned at the sight of our love.
7PM Saturday: Departure
BPOV
I quickly packed for Arizona and helped Anna along the way. I know that everyone could tell I was on edge after all I'm not a good liar, I got dressed and made sure I didn't hunt before I went...I'd fill up later. Still I felt guilty for Todd; I was going to take away his sunshine, his reason for existence. I shook the thoughts out of my head and jogged downstairs to see everyone gathered to say goodbye. I walked to Carlisle and he enveloped me in his stone arms of safety, Anna kissed Todd lightly and he stoked her cheek.
"I love you...I'll hurry back" I promised and Carlisle looked sad. I was surprised Alice hadn't seen Edward and I's plan-something was up.
"I love you too, be safe" he urged and everyone waved as Anna and I drove away from home. Anna looked sad as we left the driveway-as we left our sanctuary. Anna was quiet for a long time tossing and turning. I frowned and sat up straight, Anna jumped and I knew I had waken her by accident. I winced and she stretched asking how long she'd be asleep.
"Hour or so, you seem pretty sad" I stated wondering what she was so upset about. She fidgeted and played with her sleeve until she began to speak.
"Ever since I met Todd we haven't left each other's side...its just...different" she explained and I understood completely-I missed Carlisle to and for a few moments I considered turning back and telling him everything.
"Well we will be there soon!" I said almost aggressively, she nodded and turned back on her side to sleep; that's one thing I missed...sleeping. Being able to have dreams and the amazing feeling of waking up after a good night sleep. Hearing only your heartbeat thumping in the night. We finally arrived at 9PM and I summed up all my courage...I looked up at the Ballet studio and the sleeping Anna. I went inside to meet Edward and left Anna a note telling her to come inside when she woke...
9PM Saturday: Waking up
ANPOV
I woke up groggily and frightened, we were defiantly in Arizona but where was Bella? I stretched my arms and groaned, that's when I saw a note hanging on the mirror-I grabbed it fiercely and read it thoroughly. It read:
Dear Anna,
This is my mothers ballet studio and I popped in to say hi.
Please come in when you're awake-I know my mother
would love to see you.
Love B XOX
It seemed strange but I would love to finally meet Bella's mother-I mean none of the Cullen's parents were alive anymore due to them being turned a long time ago. I sighed, put my jacket on and looked at my phone...that was weird: 10 missed calls of Todd, 3 missed calls of Alice, 7 messages from Rosalie and FaceTime requests of Emmett. I frowned and tried to call Todd but he didn't answer, I shrugged it off and hopped out of the car and into the harsh winds and rain. My footsteps echoed as I jogged up the steep steps to the Ballet studio, I opened the creaking door to see a room full of mirrors and harsh lighting but I didn't see Bella or her mom-Renee? I think that was her name.
"Hello?" I asked feeling uneasy, trying ignore the urge to run. That's when I heard her. A faint whisper...almost a ghost.
"I'm sorry" Bella said hoarsely and gathered all her red magic in which she threw at me-I flew into a near by wall and felt my blood spilling out. My eyes were glazed over with a haze but my ears couldn't have been clearer and that's when I heard my savour.
"Back off bitch!" Todd yelled and Bella growled viciously, I knew Todd was alone because he was faster than the others...why does Bella want to kill me?
