The Murderous Kind
Chapter Six
Conversations with Vampires
Playback…E.P.O.V.
"It's fine Edward, because it's a lot more urgent than anything we had planned," said Bella, letting out a small weak laugh.
"Yeah… ha-ha…" I said, trying to laugh carelessly. But I just couldn't.
I was going to ask her to marry me tonight.
So much for that…
Bella's P.O.V.
As soon as I said those words, I regretted them. The look on his face when I said those words, just about broke my heart. Tonight was going to be a very special night- I could tell that just from the way that he looked at me. I looked away from his breathtaking face, and went over to my car door. But someone stopped me as I did. I could feel Edwards smooth hands around my waist, as he pulled me away from the passenger side. He opened the back seat door, and pulled me inside with him as he slid across. He passed Jasper the keys, and pulled me closer to his side.
"Go as fast as you can Jasper," said Edward as he wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me even closer. "I'm so sorry Bella… I never expected this to happen," and with that he placed his lips on mine. I was totally lost in the passion of the kiss, that I never noticed any cars flying past, or the magnificent mountains, slowly fading away into the horizon. Instinctively, my hands found their way to his hair, and I pulled him closer into the kiss, hands running through his hair wildly. His hands ran up my back, and wrapped themselves around my neck. His tongue begged for entry, and I gave in. His hands unwrapped from around my neck, and slowly travelled down towards my chest. I pulled away, from his face, looking towards Jasper.
"Umm… Eddy? We have someone else in the car," I said, very quietly giggling.
"Oh… right," he replied. He lent forward and tapped Jasper on the shoulder. "Sorry mate. Kinda forgot where we were." Jasper turned around, a look of horror on his face.
"You guys are worse than Emmett and Rosalie," he said, smirking. "Now I'm starting to wish that I brought Alice with me."
"Hah! Nope- you're stuck as the designated driver," I said. "Where about's are we now?"
"We've still got about another hour left- but I can make it half an hour if you like."
"Fast as you can," said Edward, once again looking into my now topaz eyes. We sat like that for what seemed like hours, never taking our eyes off each other.
"Oh, crap," Jasper whispered, as he started slowing the car down. Edward and I looked out the window to see the police signalling us to pull over. "This is just perfect." An extremely fat police-man started climbing out of his car. Perfect- I have a great plan to get us out of this.
"Jasper," I said. "Climb into the back. I'll get into the front. GO!" Jasper and I quickly exchanged places, whilst the car was still moving. I manoeuvred the car so that we were parked in the shade, just for precaution. The police-man started to shuffle towards the car, and when he finally made it, he tapped on the window, breathing deeply, and wiping his brow- he only had to walk about fifty metres! I slowly wound down my window.
"Hi officer!" I said in a cheery voice. "What seems to be the problem?" I obviously knew what the problem was, but I needed to keep up the act. The man was taken aback by my beauty. Could hear Edward growling in the back seat, and I definitely knew why. I was disgusted at this man, but I couldn't do anything.
"Do you know how fast you were going?" he said. His voice was contradictive to his looks, as it was very high pitched, as if it hadn't broken yet. I tried to stifle a laugh.
" I was only going at 100- that's the speed limit, right?"
" No miss, you were going at 160."
" Well that cant be right, because I had my cruise control set at 100. Your speed… umm… speed thingy must be broken," I said, putting on the innocent act as much as possible. I decided to have a little fun. Whilst that fat, stupid police-man was concentrating on what I was saying, I was concentrating on lifting his radar gun from his pocket, and taking it through the air. To our right was a very busy motor-way. This was going to be fun.
"No. My radar is always right. I can show you how fast you were going." He reached for the gun, and didn't find it. He shook his head in confusion. He reached to grab it again.
"Umm… officer? Is that your radar over there?" I had carefully placed it on the road, so close that the cars were almost touching it. The man looked at me
"Stay right here, you." And with that, he slowly waddled over to the side of the road to collect it. Just as he was reaching down to grab it, I moved it. 'CRACK!!!' a car had run over it, smashing it to pieces. The officer was dumbfounded. Edward, Jasper and I immediately burst out laughing. He started to walk over to us again, and we had to stifle our laughter once again.
"Umm… something just happened. I'm going to let you go this time, but please stick to the limit," he looked at me again, and then turned around and started back to his car.
" Okay Bells, you can go now," said Jasper, climbing into the front. I quickly jumped into the back, and Jasper started to move.
"Wait! Just one more minute… hehe…he has to pay," I said, an evil smile growing on my face. As the man opened his door, I shut it as soon as it was wide enough for him to climb into. He looked utterly baffled. He tried it again, until he nearly succeeded- but this time he got his fingers caught. We only just heard his yowl of pain over our cackling laughter as we sped off.
"Ten minutes till we get home guys," said Jasper as we passed the boarder for Forks. After the incident with the police-man, the mood in the car because very sullen. Nobody wanted to talk about what we were about to face. Edward never let go of my hand, well, not since the policeman pulled us over. We were anxious to get home, but we couldn't go up to our room till we had spoken to everyone about our epidemic. I stared out the window at the familiar sights rushing by, sights and people that I would never be able to visit again. I was never going to be able to work in the sports store, see all my old friends or go home again. I was going to have to witness my whole family and all my friends go to mine and Edwards funeral. Poor Alice was going to have to finish high school without us. And Jacob… we had broken the treaty. But does Jacob know that I have changed? Everything was going downhill. We plunged into darkness as we came into the forest, coming ever closer to finding out the future of the world. (I know that it seems a bit much… but really it's true. Corny… The future of world depends on us would have been a bit much… ha-ha)
We came around the, and the gleaming white house called to us. Alice ran out of the house to greet us. When she saw Jasper driving her face lit up with joy, but it quickly changed to anger.
"How could you do that to me Jasper! I was so scared! I thought something happened to you. Or something else. Jasper come here now," yelled Alice. Jasper cringed with the volume of her voice. He climbed out of the car, passing me my keys. Edward climbed out and came and opened my door for me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and started towards the house.
"Hang on Edward, I just need to speak to Alice first," I said, unwrapping myself from his arms. I walked towards Alice, who was currently embraced in a kiss with Jasper. I politely coughed, and they slowly parted.
"Umm… Jasper? You got a little something there," I said, pointing at a spot on Jaspers face where there was a smidgen of Alices lipstick. He quickly wiped it off. "Sorry to disturb you, but I really need to talk Alice," and with that I pulled Alice off to the start if the forest. "Alice! How could you think that Jasper had left you! And don't say that that wasn't what you were going to say." As I said this, Alices face became ashamed. "Shame on you.
"I'm sorry… I was just really worried. He hasn't left my side for more than a day! He's been acting a little strange lately, so I jumped to conclusions," she said, sobbing dryly.
"It's okay Alice. Just promise that you wont assume again. Don't forget- when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me," I said, embracing her in a tight hug. (sorry about the bad joke people- my dad is starting to rub off on me : P if you don't understand it… then just look at the spelling of assume!) Alice hugged me back, and we walked back to our husband/boyfriend hand in hand.
"C'mon you two. We have some business to deal with. Is Carlisle here?" asked Edward.
"No, but Esme just called the hospital. She got Carlisle, and he said has to work late tonight. Why?" Alice replied. I looked at Edward, trying to see what his answer would be.
"We have some really bad news. But Carlisle can't know it. Is everybody else here?" Alice nodded in response. "Can you get them all? We need to have a family meeting. Now." Alice ran off onside to Gather everyone. Edward, Jasper and I wandered into the lounge where everyone was already waiting. That was really quick.
"Alice said that you have some bad news- news that Carlisle cant know of. What is it?" asked Esme, an a very concerned voice.
"When Bella and I went hunting, we came across a vampire, a bad one. At first we thought that it was a woman, but she started changing shape. 'she' had just finished eating, and there was a body at 'her' feet. After she finished changing shape, I had to stop Bella from screaming."
"Why? Who was it?" asked Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Esme, in almost perfect unison.
"It was Carlisle," I whispered.
A/N MWAHAHAHA!!!!! I bet you didn't see that coming, did you? … cough, cough… I told you I would have it up tonight- I'm in Australia, so it is tonight for me at least… ok what do you all think of it??? Hope that you are all enjoying it! I couldn't leave you all on a cliffie, although it was tempting. I have a very busy week ahead of me, so the nxt chpt may take a while to get online. Until then… Cya!
