Beta Note – ok, I am totes glad that Liz here named Emmy after me. I can deal with being an evil bitch if I get Edward! Anyway, on with the chapter. Hope you totes love it!
Edward's POV
"It's like something out of Mission Impossible!"
"Just get the clothes Emmy, and then we can go."
"Ok, ok. Just a little further"
If we had been noticed by the crowds below I'm sure I would have been mortified by what they thought; a mix between perverted flashers and stupid acrobatic wannabe's. We were hanging and swinging from window ledge to window ledge, roof to roof until Emmy was happy she found a house that contained the clothing she was looking for. We continued this until we finally found one, it was a nice detached little cottage that I was sure wouldn't have the cloths that Emmy wanted but all I wanted to do was get inside. So after I was sure the house was clear we jumped in and I left Emmy to go get changed while I looked around the house.
I entered the closest room and to my surprise found a massive plasma television mounted on the wall and some really nice recliner sofas that were just screaming to be laid on. Emmy came bouncing in with a extremely tight pair of black leather shorts on and a strappy leather top that finished just above her belly button, showing off her skinny waist perfectly.
"Where did you find them?"
"God Edward, remind me never to take you on a tracking trip. Smell around"
I looked at her curiously before noticing that there was no other smell in here other than Emmy. I did a quick run around the house, and again there was no other smell but her, and a shitload of TVs, music systems and more of the latest technology that Emmet would love to play with. As soon as I was satisfied that I was completely stupid, I headed back to the room that I had left Emmy in.
She was sprawled out on one of the four white fury sofas that were scattered around the large room, and was watching a film that I didn't recognise. I was filled with questions and confusion.
"Yes, Ed. This is my house" she rolled onto her side and looked at me nodding her head sarcastically like I was a toddler.
"So you had me jump around on roofs and risk getting seen... when you had a house ready?" I was trying my best to keep a stern facial expression, even though I really just wanted to laugh and have a go on some of the stuff here.
"Sorry babes, but I couldn't resist" she was looking at me with puppy and I could keep it in any longer.
"Why? If you wanted to go scaling buildings you should have just asked" I walked up to her and pulled the cocky half grin that I knew she loved before adding "you got any more clothes?"
"Yes... why do you as..."
Before she could finish her question I lifted her up and ran around the house ripping her clothes off on my way and throwing her onto the first bed I could find before doing the same to mine. In the space of a couple of second I had my girl completely naked and wrapped around my waist, awaiting our next activity.
"What do you fancy doing today?"
"I think we need to talk" I said.
"Oh come on Ed... can't we just have a couple of days of happiness before we have to go down that road? Please..."
"It's important... I just need to know... is my family ok?"
"No Edward they're not... but what can we do now? They have rejected you and I'm sure I have been disowned too... next question"
"Adam..."
"Ah... well... he is... he was my... well... I suppose he was my boyfriend... we want... wanted the same things, and that's it really..."
"What did you want?"
"Vampire world domination... Spells are stronger than power. If you know how to use it you can change the world within seconds..."
"And you were... draining and killing vampires and keeping their strength and powers for yourself?"
"No... Well actually yes... but there is more to it than that... it's complicated..."
"I'm sure I can keep up"
"You have been watching too many films"
I didn't even realise I had done, it but I had just said the exact same thing I said to Bella the first day I talked to her. I suddenly felt guilty and remorseful I hadn't realised I had been repressing the memories until they started flooding back. The first day I talked to Bella we were in biology, and were doing a stupid observational experiment, trying to win a golden onion. I knew the subject like the back of my hand, plus I knew the answers anyway. The teacher might as well have been screaming them at me.
I remembered the way Bella smelt, the way her hair was positioned, and how she was anxiously fiddling with her sleeve while I desperately tried to make conversation. I pulled myself out of the daydream and looked at Emmy, who was awaiting my answer.
All I could think of was "well what can I say? I'm a sucker for a good line."
"Ugh... well... it was 1603 and my best friend, Hannah, claimed that she knew magic from her grandmas' book that had been left for her... Well one day she came round pulled me up the stairs to my room and read out a line from the old brown pages whilst pointing at me and rocking on her heals a little. And then everything went dark, the next thing I knew I was in a big room filled with about 10 creepy looking people all dressed in black long robes. I was so terrified. I can remember it so clearly; the way they were all pale, and has the reddest of eyes, and looked like they wanted to rip me to shreds... back then I didn't know what they were. Now I realise they were vampires too..."
I looked down to see Emmy's heart broken face, so I pulled her closer to me on the bed and let her snuggle into my chest while she carried on.
"Hannah started to talk to them, but I was to preoccupied by the people circling me to listen to what she was saying. They were all mumbling in a language I didn't understand. I turned to Hannah for some reassurance and answers, but she wasn't there. I turned back to the man who had his cloak hood pulled up and covering most of his face. He was moving uncomfortably close to me.. "The human did well getting you..." he had a perfect voice and absolutely no recognisable accent at all. I didn't know what to say so I just said "where am I?" and he laughed at me.
"Even though it was the most perfect laugh I had ever heard, it had a dark and unwelcoming feel to it, making all the hairs of my body stand on end, "this place doesn't have a name because it is neither here nor there. There is nowhere to be, nowhere to go. Nothing to see... you have been brought to this place for a reason. That reason is the same for me. I am here to change the world, you are here to help me.." I looked around the room to see no one there. Within a split second everyone had vanished and I was alone in a room that had no doors, no windows, and no way to escape..."
Emmy started mumbling and making an unusual whining sound.
"Are you ok? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to..."
"It would be easier to just... show you..."
"Ok"
It was hard and tiring for me to read Emmys' mind, so I rarely did it, but I knew that whatever she was about to say must be hard. I have never seen Emmy look sad and I naturally wanted to help her.
I focused on her, letting everything around me disappear, and letting only her thoughts interact with me.
"Can you hear me?"
"Yes"
"Ok. Well here we go.... the man grabbed me, and again I was in darkness. And then suddenly in another unrecognisable room. I let my eyes search around quickly while the tight gip around my waist lessened, and I was slowly dropped to the floor. Again the room had no doors or windows, but a big ornate desk was in the middle. Out of nowhere a man span round on the big leather chair that was empty a second ago. The man was gorgeous, with short hair that was mainly brown but had some other lighter shades in there too. He had the palest completion and perfect skin. He had smooth pink lips that became slightly wet as he licked them before starting to speak, "so she brought you... well not too bad I suppose"
I looked up from my feet, that were causing soggy wet marking on the cream carpet, to see his brown eyes. I knew if I stared into them much longer I would be lost forever"
"Emmy, I have seen Adam before" I said almost bitterly, I knew I shouldn't have been jealous, but it was upsetting seeing my girl getting so excited over ADAM, and how precise her memory of him was.
"Shut up or I won't carry on"
I closed my mouth, and stopped thinking about Adam, focusing on listening to Emmy again.
"I was dragged to the seat in front of the desk, and sat down cautiously, rubbing my arm where I had been harshly grabbed.
"Where am I?" I asked again. This time to the man, who was looking at me with absolutely no expression on his face, making it impossible for me to guess what he was thinking. I looked behind me to see that the man who had escorted me into the room had vanished again.
"Hello. My name is Adam, and you are going to help me take over the world" he said, emotionless and down to the point.
"Sorry but I think you have the wrong girl. I am in no way ever going to be capable of taking over the world... I'm clumsy... Completely useless..." I was really trying to beat myself down so they would change their minds, and let me go home. But he didn't even move. He just looked as if he hadn't even heard me. I was about to say something to break the silence when he opened his mouth to speak.
"Not when I have finished with you"
The next couple of days went in a blur. When woke I was still in considerable pain from his bite but I felt more alive than ever before. Adam was really nice and helped me through the whole ordeal and that's when I fell in love... For the first time obviously..."
Emmy started to stroke my face softly and then carried on.
"So after about 3 years Adam had taught me everything. From fighting skills, to how to walk, talk and look as human as ever. I was taught how to be around humans without killing them, and then how to kill them if need be. I became a fantastic vampire. It turned out that Hannah, or Clo as we now call her, had accidently come to this place, and they had told her to bring someone back with her the next time. She went back and she brought me.
She was later turned into a vampire too. I found out that Adam was a prince and was working secretly, and behind almost everybody else to do what he was. After all Adam had done, I decided to help him on his mission.
Well frankly I didn't know anything else.
We then started killing other vampires and turning their powers into a sort of energy ball. People think that we can just get the power and straight away use it ourselves, but you have to follow all the rules of the spell to fully use it. Adam, me, and all the rest of the New Order have not gained any of this power, yet it was a good life.
To do a good job I sometimes go undercover when capturing a big group of vampires. That's when I came across you.
One night we were just about to do the same ritual as always when Adam came and told us not to do it to you. I still don't know why. I think it's because his mum and the guards were nearby. When we had left, and Adam went off back to his mum, I suddenly felt a pain I hadn't felt in a long while.
Loneliness. I realised that I had no one.
Yes I had Adam, but he wasn't there most of the time. I didn't realise how much I relied on you to keep me happy, and then you were gone too. I realised that this wasn't the life I wanted, and I came to find you"
"Same for me. Only without all the capturing the world stuff. But I couldn't imagine my life without... you and your arse... Oh torture"
"Well I do have a good arse"
I was so happy that Emmy had opened up to me, and I now fully understood it all and why it's been so hard for her to leave Adam.
