Chapter 3: What the hell

EPOV

I pulled up at school the next day and cut the engine. Driving with Alice and Jasper had been slightly awkward to say the least.

Alice looked past me and said "good luck," then walked of to class. Afterwards Jasper turned to me. "See you later. I think," and with that fallowed after Alice.

What the hell did Jasper mean 'I think'. I was so deep in thought I didn't hear or smell Sam approach me until she spoke. "Come on," and with no further warning she lead me over to her car. It was a blue fiesta.

"Where are we going?" I asked her as she started the fiesta.

"My flat. What you want to talk about is not something we can talk about in school."

"How do you know what I want all of the time?" I queried.

"Sixth sense. It's similar to a vampire power." She replied.

By this time we had pulled up out side the flat block that stared in Alice's vision last night.

"Come on," she said pulling gently on my arm.

As we walked to the door a familiar scent assaulted my nose but it had a familiar twist that should never be mixed with that particular scent. It was Bella but it had that twist that only vampires had. I stiffened.

"Do you want to see her or not?" Sam asked after a minute.

What kind of stupid question was that "of course I do. But she left me,"

"Not willingly," she muttered to herself, but I still just heard.

"What?!"

"Bella or I will explain later." Sam said as she reached to open the door. And I followed.

Bella was sitting on the sofa. She turned her head slightly. Vampirism certainly did suit her.

"Hi Sam, Edward I'm so sorry, really I am. You see…"

"Bella it's fine. You can explain later. Who changed you?"

"Okay if you're sure. You remember the nomads Alice saw around that time?" I nodded "It was them." She shuddered at the memory.

"There's more than that." It was too easy to see through Bella at times.

"Yes but it's hard to explain." She paused, thinking "Can I try something? Please" I nodded in reply.

"Bella are you sure you can handle this?" Sam interrupted though you could see the genuine concern in her eyes. Bella nodded. Then she completely relaxed, if she was still human I might have thought she was asleep.

Suddenly two things happened simultaneously. First everyone's mental voice vanished from my head. Also I could hear Bellas beautiful mental voice. 'Edward can you hear me?' she thought.

"Yes I can, but how?"

'Stop asking questions. Do you want to know what happened or not?' I nodded in reply.

She started replaying memories from when she was human. First it was her in a room with a female vampire but the bitch was torturing her. It started with the verbal abuse then went to physical. Before any bones were broken a male vampire came into the room and the female walked out. He told Bella to lie on the bed which she did without question but you could see the fear rolling of her in waves. He walked over to her and removed her top.

I knew where this was going and I wanted her to stop, preferably before I lost control.

"Bella, stop!" Sam's voice rang out. With that the visions vanished and once again her mind was silent.

"Sorry Edward I probably took that too far." She admitted.

"It's okay Bella. Sam why don't you go back to school I'm going to ditch." Sam nodded and turned to walk out of the door. As soon as she was out of hearing range I turned to look at Bella. "How come Alice didn't see it in the future or I see it in someone's mind?"

"I thought you would ask this. Laurent, a vampire with them, had a power similar to mine but he could block any power he wanted. He could also block other peoples for them. So he blocked their futures and thoughts." She replied.

I nodded my head in understanding then a thought came to me. "Did you kill them? I dam well hope you did."

"Yes. James and Laurent were easy. Victoria was a challenge but I found out another part of my talent."

"Which is?" I pushed.

"Well when I get angry or upset I get another shield but this one is to protect me from physical attack."

"Hell," was all I could say.

"Edward I'm so sorry about leaving you but I had to. I would have come to find you sooner but I was scared of rejection after what I had said. No matter what I said I still love you."

"Isabella Marie Swan I love you with all of my heart. And remember the love of a vampire lasts for eternity."

"But how could…" She interrupted.

I love you with all of my heart. It is yours."

"Thank you," She said and kissed me sweetly on the lips. The electricity between us was immensely powerful.
