A/N: Now it's gets crazy. The title of the chapter is like Dr. Martin Luther King's speech "I Have A Dream..." only it's a spin-off of it. I mean no direspect to Dr. King. He was an amazing person and I only did the title spin-off as a joke.
Chapter 4 – I Have A Plan... (Bella's POV)
Time always went by so fast when I was hanging out with Krista. Every question I asked, she gave her best answer although I was always more evasive in my answers to her questions. But she was always patient. Sometimes I would forget she was a vampire. She would tell me stories about vampires she'd met. My favorite ones (that I asked her to retell many times) were about the Denali coven, the Olympic coven, the Olympic werewolves, and the Alaskan werewolves. Krista always gave such vivid descriptions of them that I could picture it all. One name that rang a bell every time she said it was Jacob Black. I tried to remember but nothing was connecting.
Then there was the way she talked about Josh, the werewolf that had imprinted on her. Sometimes she spoke with admiration, other times with anger, but usually with sadness. Krista had convinced herself that if Josh knew what she was now, killing humans and animals, that he would hate her. That it would undo the imprinting. If I ever ended up in Alaska, I would grab the boy by his collar and drag him to Krista. I felt such a close, family-like connection with her that I hated to see her so depressed.
More recently, she'd been constantly following me. One day I asked her why and she said, "Your impending doom is getting closer." I remember gulping. I wondered what was out to get me. I didn't remember ever making someone angry enough to want to kill me. So now today I asked the obvious question. "Krista, are you going to protect me?" I was afraid to hear her answer. "Of course I will. Your like a little sister to me." with that she ruffled my hair. "I'm 16! You're only 1 year older than me!" I argued. "I'm actually 40. Remember?" Krista laughed out loud at my disgruntled expression.
As each day passed, Krista became more and more clingy. Soon she was always at my side, within 3 feet of me. Whether I was showering, getting dressed, or sleeping. She hadn't even gone away to hunt. So her eyes were a flat, intimidating obsidian. And those obsidian orbs were always fixed on me. I offered to go hunting with her multiple and she always refused, saying "I could end up hurting you." So I sighed and went back to whatever I was doing. The way she stared at me was almost...possessive. Like if someone else touched me, she'd bite their hand off. At this point, I doubted I was very far off on that.
"So what exactly does my impending doom involve?" I asked as I ate my morning cereal, nervous that she might not tell me or tell me to just shut up and eat. "A vampire. She'll come because she's heard of me and wants to meet me. The werewolf-loving, amber-eyed, Arizona-living, vampire. I'm a rarity. Anyway, she'll come and she'll see you. She'll see how protective I am of you and she'll treat it like a game. She'll try to kill you just to see my reaction." Krista explained in the dead voice she'd been speaking in the past few weeks. I gulped.
"But I have a plan. When she comes, I'll send you to Alaska." I began to protest but she held up her hand. "Let me finish. I'll send you to Alaska. To the werewolves. You have a pretty good idea of what Josh looks like. He should still be a werewolf. You find him, you tell him a vampire is coming after you, you say they want to kill you. You also explain that they are a nomad so he doesn't go after the Denali Coven. Then you stay with them until I come up to get you. But you will not tell any of them, anything about me." I nodded, she was scaring me right now with how angry she seemed.
Then we began to wait until my impending doom was close enough to send me away. After I while I started to relax. Maybe the vampire had decided against coming. But then one day, a Friday that was especially cold and dark, Krista suddenly picked me up and started running. "Wh-what are you doing!?" I asked, my breathlessness made the anger in my words very unimpressive. "I'm taking you home. Then we're getting in your car and I'm taking you to the airport. The vampire is coming." she said in a perfectly even tone. In seconds we were at my house. She told me to get in the car and then she ran inside the house. I got in the passenger seat as fast as possible, my fingers stumbled over the buckle. Krista was back out in seconds with my suitcase. She threw it in the back seat of the EOS and got in the driver's seat. She quickly put my buckle on then punched it. I watched the speedometer, scared half to death. The needle was past the last numbers.
The way she rushed me to the airport then to my plane was all that had ever frightened me about her. The second we were at the gate to my plane she gave me my suitcase, patted the top of my head, then disappeared she was moving so fast. I was in a daze as I boarded the plane. Everything had gone so wrong in a matter of minutes. I was just relaxing in the sun in Arizona and now I was headed to plead to a werewolf in Alaska. My whole being hoped that Krista's plan would work. If it didn't then…
Bella go bye-bye.
A/N: It's getting dicey isn't it? That last line is my favorite; "Bell go bye-bye." Anyway, if you have any ideas for what the vampire's (the one that's coming after Bella) name should be please tell me. Hope this one was long enough to keep you guys satisfied for a bit. :)
