This is a fanfiction… This means that due to a misunderstanding with the publishers Edward doesn't belong to us… Yet.
Characters do of course belong to the lovely Mrs Meyer…
Chapter 3
Life at the good hospital Forks was getting a little tedious, what with the frequent visits from Bella, screaming werewolves and the now obvious stalking by Emmet and Jasper... Those boys were up to something... What was yet to be seen? My super human hearing did detect something about a herring, but they sensed me before I could hear more...
Something was definitely up! I could feel it in my water. This morning Alice started randomly choking on her deer with an oddly distant look on her face. She wouldn't look me in the eye after that and for some odd reason so couldn't Edward... Esme says it's a phase and that it will pass... My, what happened to my cute children!! Why are they so rebellious?! Am I a bad father??
I was really starting to wonder about Emmet and Jasper. To say that their behavior was odd over the last couple of days would be like saying Edward was only moderately good looking. Now, don't get me wrong, as harsh as it sounds, I expect this behavior from Emmet to an extent. The fact that Jasper had somehow been pulled into whatever they were up to set my teeth on edge.
God, what if it was a cult… We'd just got Emmet over that bad bout with Gothic Catholic Mormonism. A religion of his own design… Gothic because he thinks Goths are hot, Catholism because they don't believe in contraceptives, and finally Mormonism – He could have his own harem of wives!! It was a close thing, Rose nearly killed him! The thought that he had somehow involved Jasper was enough to make me cringe… Alice may be tiny, but harmless she was not!
I looked behind me, yep; they were still hiding in the foliage. I wonder if they are aware that full black suits tend to stand out against the emerald green that made up the forests of Forks. Dear God, I do believe that Emmet is even wearing a bow tie… How on earth am I going to explain this to Esme? I shook my head. Maybe Rose dropped him on the head as a newborn?
I slowly got behind the wheel of my beloved Mercedes Benz. My neck felt hot under the pressure of their stares. I ran my hand over the taunt black leather that made up the seats. Perfection. It was the second best invention in my 300 years of unlife. The first being showers. You can say what you will about vampirism, but in my vast experience, life before the shower was unbearable! Try to imagine having super senses in the presence of people who believe that washing will cause the plague!
Not.
Pleasant.
My kind often wonder why I chose the path I did. I let them believe it's my empathy. The truth is even then, the thought of biting into THAT was enough to convert me to the joys of fauna. Hell, back then even biting into a plagued rat would be better than the unwashed masses.
I shook my head vigorously. I had to get to the grocery store, now was not the time to reminisce about the filth of previous centuries. Bella needed food. As I drove through Forks I sometimes caught black glimpses of Jasper or Emmet as they ran through the forest to keep up with me. Not for the first time I wished I had Edwards mind reading gift. I would love to know what was going through their minds!
I eased into the parking lot of the grocery store, my Mercedes purring as it came to a halt.
"That's right baby. Be a good girl" I whispered lovingly.
The door jingled as I went in. Food. Hmmm… Something nutritious perhaps? Bella was looking a bit pallid. I wondered over to the veg section picking up a basket along the way, Bella would like something green? I haphazardly selected a vegetable. Cucumber. We didn't have these when I was growing up. Then again, we didn't have much of anything when I was growing up.
Potatoes.
Now that we did have.
And bread.
You could survive a long time on those two.
It was then that I heard it… The sleek purr of my beloved Mercedes' engine gunning up in the parking lot. For a millisecond I forgot my self and sped to the shop window.
Those bastards!
I looked around quickly. Too many witnesses.
Those Bastards! They stole my car!!
