Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight; now stop pestering me about it!!! It's just makes me feel sad…

A special thanks once again to Edward-Bites-Pillows816 for helping me choose Bella's special ability!!!

You'll find out what it is soon!!!

Chapter 9: Prisoner?

Fine.

If that's how these Cullens want to play.

The odds seem to be in their favor, but whatever.

If this powerful vampire coven wanted to kill me, they probably could.

It's two against one, and they're supposed to be powerful.

REALLY powerful...

"FINE! Is that how you really want things to be?!" I yelled, forcing them to pay attention.

What are they freaking whispering about?

Shaking away my thoughts, I immediately sprang back into attack mode.

"Wait!"

Too late…

I had already sprung.

Once the two realized what was occurring, they sprang toward me.

I watched as the one called Edward began whispering to Alice, but I didn't see any motion coming from Alice telling me that she was responding.

How are they communicating?

When Edward met my gaze, I nearly lost my train of thought and almost stopped.

Strange…captivating.

They must be trying to take control of this situation, maybe even trying to stop me.

But who knows what these two were thinking?

EPOV

"ALICE THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!" I quietly yelled.

"Yes it will Edward; I know these things! Whether I'm clairvoyant or not, I KNOW these things! You can't read her mind even!" Alice muttered.

Bah. When will this spunky vampire ever give up?

"NO!" I yelled, causing Alice to flinch.

"NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!" I repeated, and then flung my hand to the side.

Bad move…

Very, VERY bad move.

I felt the granite-like skin of only one possible species.

Vampire.

And there was only one other person besides us Cullens in this class.

Isabella Swan, Bella Swan.

Great.

I already have made myself look like a complete idiot and jerk; now I looked worse.

I looked at Alice's strange expression, so I took in a deep breath, and turned.

Bella was in an attack position, with her eyes locked on one living thing.

Not a cat, not the Gym teacher's dumb pet rabbit, but-

Me.

Figures; just my luck.

I just so happen to fling my left hand out into the air, in Gym, at the end of the day, at the exact moment when Bella Swan walks by me!

Coincidence? I think not!

It's merely bad luck.

Did a black cat cross my path lately? Did I walk under a ladder? Did I break a mirror?

That last one was a definite, so was I cursed to have bad luck for seven years?

But, how can I be cursed anymore? I'm already a monster, dead, and alone.

STOP EDWARD!!! WHY THINK LIKE THIS?!

You have to focus, or else this seemingly beautiful and intelligent vampire is going to kill you!

I think that's going to be a big priority for her.

Me on the top of her hit list.

Wait, hold on Edward, you're partly English.

Well, you used to be…

In England, isn't a black cat considered good luck?!

WHY DO I CARE?!

WHAT'S SO IMPORTANT ABOUT THE STUPID BLACK CAT?!

Focus, focus, focus!!!

The odds do seem to be in our favor, but she'd HATE us.

We'd take her pride, and squash it.

"FINE! Is that how you want things to be?!" Bella yelled.

Only one word came to mind:

Hothead.

It seemed like she had a sign posted on her head:

'Caution! Short-Temper Circuit! May blow up at any time!'

When I looked again, I saw her ready to pounce and yelled as a simple reflex.

"Wait!"

Too late.

"Come on Alice; we HAVE to stop her!" I whispered mutely, jumping toward Bella.

"What are we going to do?" She thought.

"I don't know; I wonder if she has an ability?" I wondered.

"I have no idea; why?"

"Just curious."

"What should we do?"

"Um…well, we could fight her?"

"NOT a chance!"

"Okay, okay. How about we pin her down and try to talk to her?"

"That's better. Fighting solves nothing. Unless it's in James case."

I flinched at the name. I HATE him. We STILL can't figure out where he went off.

"Can you read her mind?"

"No; that's what has confused me. That's never happened to me before."

"Strange; here we go!" Alice thought.

I braced myself for what might was going to happen next.

BPOV

What are they whispering about?

That fact is bothering me; he seems to be the only one talking!

She isn't even shaking or nodding her head!

Well, I wonder how they're going to do this?

Kill me, hurt me, or what?

I was utterly shocked at what they did next.

EPOV

As Alice and I collided with Bella, we each grabbed one of her arms.

She fought back and hissed madly.

She didn't react like James did when we did this to him, but she couldn't shake our grasp.

Not like James.

The evil, crazy, bloodlusting man. Blond hair pulled back into a rubber band, a small goatee, and a mustache.

But one could not forget his piercing, cold blood red eyes.

"Let ME go!" Bella yelled, fighting against our ironclad grasp.

"All we want to do is talk to you!" Alice yelled.

"Then let me GO!" She repeated.

I sighed; she was SO stubborn.

"But the point is, will you run away?" I questioned her.

"Isn't that my choice? You can't just keep me prisoner!" She screamed.

"Not like him- please not like him- please." She whispered.

WHO is HIM?

I watched as she smoothly rocked back and forth in our grasp, dry sobbing.

If she were human right now, she would most definitely be crying.

"Calm down! We won't hurt you! Don't worry; we aren't like that!" Alice said soothingly.

"Don't worry." I said, looking her in the eyes.

She immediately calmed in our grasp.

They are a beautiful butterscotch color, with a light sparkle in them.

The thing that made me the happiest was, she was staring at me, too.

BPOV

They went on both sides of me and the two grabbed one of my arms, then pulled me to the ground.

It reminded me of the blond man, when he grabbed and threw me against my mirror.

"Let ME go!" I yelled, panic spreading through me.

"All we want to do is talk to you!" Alice yelled.

All they want to do is talk to me?

I doubt it.

Not if they're anything like blondie.

"Then let me GO!" I repeated.

I heard Edward sigh.

Good, I hope they find out tat I'm stubborn.

"But the point is, will you run away?" He asked.

"Isn't that MY choice? You can't just keep me prisoner!" I screamed.

It reminded me of HIM.

If I could cry, I would be. Right now.

"Not like him- please not like him- please." I shook, rocking back in forth in their grip.

"Calm down! We won't hurt you! Don't worry, we aren't like that!" Alice whispered, clearly trying to calm me down.

"Don't worry." Edward repeated.

He then looked into my eyes, and I immediately lost my train of thought.

I felt myself loosen up, and just looked into his beautiful eyes.

They were a beautiful ocher color, somewhere between yellow and butterscotch.

Very beautiful.

"Okay. What do you want?" I asked, calming myself.

"We need to talk." Edward answered, offering me a hand.

I gladly accepted his hand and allowed him to pull me up.

"Will you run away?" He teased.

"Not unless I need to." I replied.

This was one strange first day.

Okay, people. I know you all are probably annoyed that they just met and it's Chapter 9.

She'll move in soon, I promise!!!

(At least before Ch. 15)

PLEASE REVIEW!!!
