BPOV

Thank the lord that's over.

But now, I have to go to the Cullen house.

With Edward…

That spoiled, annoying, snobby, stupid, obnoxious brat.

"Well, I'm leaving. Bye, Charlie!" I yelled, walking out the door.

"Bye, baby!" He answered.

Just as I was heading out of the small garden, my thoughts were interrupted.

By a shrill voice…my mother.

"Shortcake! You aren't going to leave without saying good-bye to your mommy?" She grumbled.

I was hoping I could make a clean escape.

I guess not.

"Oh, sorry. I thought you were at the store." I lied, knowing she would buy it.

"That's okay, sweetie! Love you!" She pinched my cheeks.

Nothing worse that an oversensitive neat freak mother who babies her 117- year-old vampire daughter.


"I'm home!"

I guess I have a right to say that…

"YES, you will! LISTEN TO ME!" Alice's voice greeted me.

"Too bad. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!" Edward yelled.

This sounds so familiar…

I hope I can be spared from this fight...

"Hello?!"

"Shut up! She's here." Alice whispered.

Ya, right. Like I can't hear you.

Go on believing.

"Welcome, Bella!" Rose muttered.

A pair of large arms wrapped around my waist.

"EMMETT!" I screamed, sending my elbow into his ribs.

"OUCH!"

I ran up the stairs, trembling with fear.

I don't like people sneaking up on me. I can't take it! Not after him

I ran straight into a gorgeous gold room. On one side, there was a long, black leather sofa. On the other, there was a huge stereo and thousands of CDs.

Sitting in the far corner of the black sofa, I pulled my knees up to my chest.


"BELLA!" Alice yelled.

How long has it been?

5 minutes? 10? 20?

I hear muted whispers…

"Emmett! Don't do that unless you know Bella is comfortable." Rosalie hissed.

"She isn't comfortable around other vampires, remember?" Alice sniffled.

"Please, Emmett. I know you already love Bella as a sister, but please. Give her time." Carlisle explained.

There goes Carlisle, in his business voice.

Wait...

They love me?

"I hope she's okay." Esme stated in a motherly tone.

"I'm sorry, Bella! I didn't mean to do that to you! Please forgive me!" Emmett pleaded.

Everybody worried about me…except Edward.


EPOV

"We have already had this conversation before!" I yelled.

"Why can't you just except my visions?! Every single one of my visions involves Bella and you now!" Alice shrieked.

I think I should see everyone else's input on this...

ANYTHING to avoid this obnoxious pixie!

"Wonderful. They're at it again." Rosalie thought.

"Edward! You better be listening to me!" Alice thought.

Yeah right.

"Ha! Edward and Bella sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First-"

"EMMETT! SHUT UP!" I yelled.

"Technically, I'm not speaking." Emmett.

"There're so many emotions going around!" Jasper.

"I wonder when sweet little Bella is going to be here!"

Sure, Esme. Bella is dripping with sweetness.

"Which room can Bella have? Hmm...I need to build another room. She can stay with Edward until I get it fixed...maybe."

Oh, great! WITH ME?! In my room?! NO! CARLISLE! How could you?!

"Edward! You will love Bella whether you like it or NOT!" Alice screamed.

This is SO annoying.

I know Alice is mad, but she is LOUD!

I mean, I'm right HERE! And I have vampire hearing!

She's been badgering me about this for 3 days!

"Can we stop talking about this?!"

"NO!" Alice yelled.

"You WILL fall in LOVE with BELLA, and THAT IS THAT!"

"How many TIMES do I have to SAY this?! I WILL NOT!!!" I yelled.

"YES you will! LISTEN TO ME!" Alice's voice greeted me.

"Too bad. IT WILL NOT!" I shouted.

"Hello?!"

"Shut up! Bella's here." Alice whispered.

No kidding, idiot.

I watched Rose turn around the corner.

"Welcome, Bella." She muttered.

Emmett made a noiseless journey behind Bella.

Oh holy-

"EMMETT!" She screamed, elbowing him in the ribs.

"OUCH!" Emmett yelled, as Bella retreated up the stairs.

I hope she's okay…maybe I should go find her.

No…

But what does she think of me?

"BELLA!" Alice screamed.

With no reply.

"Emmett! Don't do that unless you know Bella is comfortable." Rosalie hissed.

"She isn't comfortable around other vampires, remember?" Alice sniffled.

"Please, Emmett. I know you love Bella already as a sister, but please. Give her time." Carlisle explained.

"I hope she's okay." Esme stated in a motherly tone,

"I'm sorry, Bella! I didn't mean to do that to you! Please forgive me!" Emmett pleaded.

Okay, that's it. I am going to go help her.

I can't leave her to hide in fright…

Even if she thinks of me as the smallest, dumbest from of life on the Earth.

I'm really not.

I care about her, but I hate her at the same time.

Definitely not love…nope.

Definitely NOT love.

A mixed emotion?


BPOV

Oh no!

Footsteps.

Someone's trying to come and find me.

No…I can't let that happen.

Startled, I quickly looked for an escape route.

No door today…

The window! Perfect!

Gently and soundlessly jumping from the sofa, I clambered to the window.

Got to hurry…faster!!!

My fingers nimbly unlocked the window,

As I jumped out, Edward's voice broke through my thoughts.

"Bella?"

Too late.

I was already gone.


EPOV

I had already checked all the other rooms, except mine.

Wait…the window is being opened.

"Bella?" I whispered.

She isn't here.

But the window IS open.

And she's gone.

Through the window.

Great.

Another chase…

As I climbed through the window, her scent overwhelmed me.

I didn't know a vampire could smell SO good.

It's driving me freaking CRAZY!!!

She smells almost human…so intoxicating.

Like my own personal drug.

I have to find her…to tell her I….

I…I can't.

I can't tell her.

Ever.


BPOV

Ah, the sweet evening air.

It wipes my problems away…

All my fears, all of my feelings…gone.

"Hello."

Huh?

Who is that?!

"Who are you?!" I yelled.

"Me? I'm Riku. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Isabella." He replied.

Greaat.

And...

My problems are back.

Great! Just freaking great!

Couldn't I have like, at least 5 freakin' minutes?!

Why ME?!

"I know what you are, Isabella. I am the same. We both have special powers." Riku laughed.

"Huh? HOW?!" I shrieked.

3 other men emerged from behind Riku.

How wonderful.

More of them.

"I am Kito. I can sense vampire powers." A tall, black-haired man answered.

"I am Miono. I can track anything." A husky blonde stated.

"And I am Koyu. My power is charm. I can get anything of anything that I want." A lanky, gorgeous man chuckled.

"You already know me, of course. My power is that I have the ability to know anything about one's history by just staring at someone. For example, you are running away from the Cullens, correct?" Riku whispered.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Oh, Bella. We want you to join us." Koyu smiled.

"Let me guess. You're trying to charm me in, right, Koyu?" I laughed.

"So, maybe I am. What are you going to do about it?" He replied.

He walked briskly over to me, and started playing with my hair.

I let out a hiss, swatting his hand away.

"Don't touch me, you arrogant PIG!" I yelled.

"Once again what are you going to do about it?" Koyu muttered.

He slinked his arm around my waist, and pulled me into him.

"Ugh. Is this your attempt at being seductive? If so, you suck." I muttered.

"Now, now. You will learn to love me." Koyu whispered into my hair.

Eh...

Yeah freaking right!

I'll love it when you DIE!

Yuck.

More to add to my problems:

A charming vampire stalker.

A psycho vampire historian.

A freaky tracker.

And a big idiotic senser.

"Bella. Join us…or die." Riku stated.

I crouched into an attack position.

"Hmm…I'll take choice number two." I laughed.

"Why do you laugh at the face of death?" Kito asked.

"What's death going to do, kill me? I've got nothing to live for. Except my father." I replied.

I watched them crouch into position, and closed my eyes, ready for a quick kill.

Nah.

I want to fight.

To die fighting.


I'm SOOO sorry!!!

I know I haven't updated in a while, but please forgive me!!!
