OK so I know a lot of you are confused and say stuff like "well isn't Lizzy half werewolf?"
Well no… and here is my logic
All the kids in La Push –minus
the wolves- are human right? Do you agree?
Ok good, NOW there
technically is no such thing as a "half werewolf"… at least
that's how I see it. Because if there was such thing then all of
the kids would be half werewolf and there would be no humans in La
Push.
And since Leah is the only female wolf in history that means it's safe to say Lizzy is not a wolf. THUS making Alice able to see her AND making everything alright with the Cullens!
Ok sorry if there was any confusion!
Lizzy POV
I made sure to block my mind from Edward to cover my plan. I didn't want Mom to have to choose between me and her happiness, it just wasn't right.
I had stayed for a while thinking of this. I had contemplated running away but a few factors stood in my way.
1) Aunt Alice would see
2) All
the Cullens would find me no matter what because of my scent
3)
even if by some miracle I got away, Mom would refuse to be turned
until I was safe
Thus bringing me to this conclusion. I would prove to Mom that I was independent and she didn't need to worry about me. I just didn't know how to do that…
Just then the sun came up over the horizon and the Cullens filed in. They all greeted me with a good morning and Edward came over to me.
"Lizzy, why are you up?"
I didn't block my mind directly, I just didn't think about my plans.
"Couldn't sleep." I said truthfully. I looked down.
"So… Rosalie apologized?"
"Yeah, it was really sweet and stuff…"
"So… how do you feel about your mom wanting to be… one of us?" He asked hesitantly.
"Well… I'm not sure yet, I guess I'm kind of neutral. Or maybe it hasn't sunk in." I sighed.
"Well I want you to know that you are the number one priority in life and your happiness means so much more than her own." I was aware.
"Yeah well…" I didn't know what to say. Luckily my stomach growled and Edward got up and walked into the kitchen to get me some breakfast.
Mom trudged sleepily down the stairs, only to trip over the top step. Sigh. Classic.
Uncle Emmett caught her before she hit the floor and set her down gently, she was still heaving when he stood there waiting for a thank you.
"Thanks."
"No problem Bells!" She cringed.
"What did I say?"
"N-nothing Emmett… that's just what J-Jacob used to call me…"
"Oh! OH SORRY BELLS- I MEAN BELLA!" He stammered. It was kinda funny.
Mom turned to me and gave me a small smile, but indecision conquered her eyes. I smiled the same small smile as her. I knew why she was undecided.
"Do you want to go to school today honey?" She asked. I nodded my head, I need a distraction.
"OH LET ME DRESS HER!" Aunt Alice cried. I groaned as I was flung up the stairs.
After the torturous makeover I was ready for school. I groaned as I saw myself in the mirror, I looked like one of those stuck up, easy girls that dominated the halls. (Outfit on Profile) But I decided it was best not to upset Aunt Alice.
Edward and Mom took me to school, and I was hit by the realization that the last time I was here, I was trying to figure out the story Mom told me and now I was a part of it. I giggled to myself and Mom looked back, confused. Edward just shook his head with a smile plastered on his face. I stared blankly at the red brick outside walls and saw the various clichés and groups and realized just how superficial and purely stupid it all was. I had a much better understanding and outlook on life. These kids had never been through a fraction of what I've been through. That's why I never fit in I suppose… I have learned in my thirteen years than ignorance was bliss. Sweet bliss. And it was also the gift I was never granted.
I got out of the car and they drove away. I walked to my locker while fidgeting, trying to make the skirt go lower, it showed much too much for my taste. On my way I noticed a group of the schools' players gawking at my outfit.
Take a picture, it'll last longer. I wanted to tell them. They were such pigs, they were the lowest forms of life I could imagine besides my father. But my father was somewhat better than them… at least I'm still a virgin; I can't say the same for some of their victims though…. It was truly sad and I was always relieved I had never caught their attention. But I suppose that hope was in vain now because their eyes kept raking up and down my bodice.
A few of the wanna be popular girls tried to talk to me about manicures and Hollister, but I always made up an excuse to get away such as, "I have to go to my locker." Or, "I have to meet with Mr. Jones." Or, "I have to go to the bathroom." By the end of the day I had gone to the bathroom four times.
But one conversation I had with a girl stuck with me.
"Hey Katie is having a party after school today, I heard there is gonna be booze! Wanna come?"
I told her I'd think about it. I certainly had no plans whatsoever to drink but maybe, if I was able to make it to this party alone and unharmed –with virginity intact- then Mom would back off and let herself have her happiness.
I decided I would go and hoped for Aunt Alice to dress me, this was my first chance to go to a party as a carefree teenage girl.
(Later that night)
I was elated when Mom and Edward agreed to let me go, Edward's words stuck with me.
"She has been through much harder things, I'm sure she can handle a bunch of partiers!" He chuckled and I smiled at him. I knew there was a reason I liked him.
Aunt Alice had brought out a little black dress for me to wear that I just giggled at because I could imagine Mom and Edward's reaction to that. (Pic on profile) And trust me, they didn't fail me.
When they walked in and saw me dressed in that (I only put it on to humor Aunt Alice, I never expected Mom or Edward to approve. I was pretty sure Jacob wouldn't have either.) They were outraged, and I guessed Edward cursed out Aunt Alice because he decided to speak super fast and quiet. I only smiled as their argument continued. During all of this Mom helped me out of the dress.
It wasn't until I was wrapped in a robe that both Edward and Aunt Alice realized I was waiting. Edward cleared his throat and left the room and Aunt Alice groaned.
"Fine, I guess you'll have to wear the "safe" dress." (Pic also on profile) She brought out a nice orange number, it was pretty and I could see myself in it.
After I was ready, Mom and Edward came in again to inspect the dress. They agreed it was an improvement but made me wear a long coat with it, at least until I was in the actual party.
When I went downstairs and into the living room I grabbed my purse and I was about to walk out the door following Mom but Edward grabbed my arm and whispered in my ear.
"I put a full can of pepper spray in your bag." I snorted. Wow, he was the classic over-protective Dad. I swear I think a sitcom show is missing him. He laughed humorlessly.
"I'm serious Lizzy… take care of yourself, please." He asked sincerely.
"Alright. I promise." I told him.
"Good now let's get going." He pulled me into the car.
When we got to the house, there was loud blaring music coming from inside the walls. Edward growled.
"Are you sure you want to do this Lizzy? I mean you can wait a few decades… or never."
"Trust me, I'm a big girl."
"What time should I be here to pick you up?"
"Ten thirty."
"ok bye Lizzy-"
"BYE HONEY!" Mom called from the passengers' seat. I waved to them as the car drove away.
I took a deep breath before stepping into the house…
(AN- Ok, so so so so so tempting to just end right here! But I have been getting complaints about cliffys so I won't)
I stepped into the humid front room; I coughed a little before getting used to the air. I saw people from my classes standing drinking god knows what. I was suddenly having second thoughts about being here, I was about to turn and walk back out before someone caught my arm.
"Heeeey! You made it um…" The girl who invited me slurred her words.
"Lizzy."
"Yeah her!" She shouted.
"Yeah um… I'm going to get a drink…"
I walked to the beverage table and poured myself a drink of whatever was in the bowl. I didn't think about what could possibly be in it. The second I took a sip I spat it back out, bringing unwanted attention to myself. Yuck! I had never tasted whatever that was but I was sure it had some type of alcohol in it.
I blushed deep crimson and slipped away and sat down on the couch next to a girl I'd always liked, because of her shyness. She looked just as uncomfortable as I was.
"Hi." I said tentatively.
She turned to me slowly, tucking back her hair behind her ear.
"Hey."
"What's wrong?" I asked her, maybe she and I could relate to what was wrong with us.
"Well… this is the first time I've been invited to a party like this. And I just don't know what to do…"
"Well you and me both, I've never been to a party before."
She looked at me, wide eyed.
"What?" I asked.
She blushed and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry it's just that… well your just really pretty and I'd expect someone like you to go to these things all the time."
I laughed. "Well there are lots of things you don't know about me."
"Well maybe I could, do you wanna save me from embarrassing myself at this party?" She asked only half teasing.
"Sure." I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the middle of the living room where everyone was dancing. I danced with her, though I had never danced before I just did what everyone else was doing. I was truly having fun! I never believed I would be dancing at a party!
I was having the time of my life before I caught the sleazy eyes of the stupid group of hormone riddled boys gawking at both of us dancing. She didn't seem to notice them, so I slyly grabbed her arm and told her I was getting tired. I pulled her out of the room; I didn't want them to be able to watch us.
I spent the rest of the night with her and I was constantly looking over my shoulder for the boys. But I never saw them again. I was relieved but I didn't want to chance it so I told her I wanted to go home early. She offered to come with me, not wanting me to walk home alone; I agreed to let her come, because I knew that Aunt Alice would have a vision and would come to pick us up before we went too far.
We started to walk the sidewalks of the neighborhood.
Not many street lights were on and a lot of house lights were off too; I got a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach but I ignored it.
Aunt Alice will come. I know she will.
I just told myself I was being paranoid.
We walked in silence; I guessed she was just as alert as I was. I was hyper aware of the pepper spray in my purse. I mentally kicked myself; I was such an idiot, letting her come with me on a walk through the night while I was wearing a dress! I mean I was wearing my coat but as if that would make any difference.
We walked at a fast pace wanting to at least walk under a working street light.
I saw a gas station and sighed in relief. We could wait for Aunt Alice to pick us up! We were gonna be ok… or at least… so I thought…
(AN- UGH! I WANT TO END IT RIGHT HERE! But… I will resist… dang ya'll better thank me by giving me some descriptive reviews people, and I mean descriptive)
Five silhouettes were standing in our path. We stopped dead and our tracks and interlocked hands; I reached into my pursed and closed my fingers around my pepper spray. I kept my hand inside my purse as we darted to the other side of the street in a feeble attempt to escape them.
They casually slinked to our side to block our path once more. The only differences were the street light and a dark alley. It's basically like taking one step forward and two steps back because the dark alley was a million times more dangerous and outweighed any positive thing about the situation. If there were any at all.
They closed in on and I could see their faces clearly.
It was those disgusting pervs from school and the party. And I had to admit, I wasn't surprised in the least. I knew that sometime my happiness with the Cullens would end. It was only a matter of time.
They surrounded us making a circle and kept shuffling us back into the dark shadows of the alley. They had wicked smiles on their faces. Their eyes were swimming with excitement and expectance. It sent shivers down my spine.
I knew this was the only time we had chances of escaping even if they were unbearably slim. I grabbed her palm and tried to dart in between two of them but of course, I didn't succeed.
I felt pressure on my arm and felt warm liquid start to trickle its way down my arm.
I started to feel the pain now, I started to scream in agony but I stopped myself, pulling the reserves of willpower from the many nights Jacob had hit me. I refused to give these sickos that sort of satisfaction. I heard one of them grunt in annoyance, obviously from my silence.
They pushed me back into the middle of the circle and they started to close in. I saw a small gap between two of them. I knew I could easily escape, because their hormones were starting to take control now; but I knew common sense would come back to them before we could both escape. Only one of us would make it out of this.
She was a good girl and she was the one that offered to walk me home out of her own kindness. And I refused to let my horrible bad luck affect her. I got behind her and whispered for her to run, and kicked her back with my all my strength sending her flying between the two boys. She broke their concentration and she was on the outside of the circle.
She turned back to look at me for a brief second and that was probably the stupidest thing she could do.
"RUN YOU IDIOT!" I screeched.
She listened this time and she darted down the street before they could chase her. She had made it into the cover of the gas station so there was no way they could get her now. I was slapped because of my actions. I don't regret a thing, I could handle Jacob, I could handle anything these jokers could through at me. I laughed humorlessly to myself.
"Do your worst." I growled.
"Oh don't worry. We will."
Then everything went black…
Ok so yeah it ended up as a cliffy no matter how many times I tried not to. But oh well whatever lol
