"What are you doing here?" I asked the Voltri's top warriors and mine angrily.
"Have you been crying Darkness?" Jane asked fiercely avoiding my question like she always did. It wasn't that she hated me she was just jealous because I was the number one girl and she wasn't. It was strange though, hearing her use that name. it had been months since anyone had called me by it aloud.
"And if I have? What are you going to do about it?" I asked angrily hiding the pain behind my Darkness growl.
"Nothing, but it would prove your weak." She said with lots of attitude.
"I am not weak!" I yelled pinning her against the wall. "And I'd be happy to show you how unweak I am." I said using all my strength on her; forcing her to feel all my pain.
"Ok girls, no need to fight. We're all on the same side." Alec said behind us. He was always trying to keep the peace between us two, but we both knew that he would side with his sister if it came down to a fight.
I released Jane and could feel her anger in her growls. I turned to Alec and the others with a smile and asked angrily, "Again what are you doing here?"
"The Voltri sent us Darkness. They figured you could use some help." Jane answered angrily from behind me. As I spoke I whipped around to face her.
"Help? Why would I need help?" She held her ground and responded. I knew she was dieing for me to take off my shield.
"Because it's been months Darkness. It shouldn't be taking this long. The Voltri is getting inpatient. They want Jamie in Voltara in two weeks." she stated with anger and triumph in her voice.
"I don't care how inpatient Aro is. If he wants Jamie to come willingly, then he'll have to wait. Trying to convince a human that we even exist is hard enough, but to get them to want to be one of us is even harder." I responded as Jane went to stand by her brother.
"Either you have her in Voltara in two weeks or he told us to intervene." Alec said this time with edge. The tone of voice was a warning that said he and two of the others had Jane's back.
I thought about the pros and cons of them being here and after convincing my self that they'd help me keep my head in the game I decided. "Fine, We do this my way then! If you have to stay then you'll follow my rules. Got It." I yelled keeping my voice even. I also glared at all of them evilly. Yet as I met eyes with Kyle I knew he saw behind my mask. I passed it off knowing he wouldn't be able to confront me about it.
After they all shook their heads yes I continued. "First, I don't care what you do during the day, just don't blow my cover. Second, if and when you hunt don't do it within 700 miles of Washington." I started as they moved around the room; all but Kyle. "Third," I said as Felix messed with my dad's stuff, "don't touch anything that you didn't bring with you." I said angrily taking a fishing pole from his hand. He glared at me, but took my warning terrified at what I would do to him if he didn't. "This is still my house, so hands off all my things."
"it's just a bunch of useless human things." Jane responded throwing a priceless figurine in the air. I caught it and got in her face.
"I don't care. These human things belonged to my human father and they are not going to be messed with. Got It." I yelled at her.
"And if I decide other wise. What are you going to do about it?" she asked challenging me.
"If you can't follow my rules Jane then you can get out or get tore up. Your choice." I said excepting her challenge. I needed to get my anger out.
"As much as I would love to destroy you Darkness, I would rather do it when I can get rewarded for it and not punished. So I'm patient enough to wait. Besides, you need me if the Cullens are protecting her." She stated, but before I could respond she added, "Though you've taken out a whole coven by your self before. Why is the Cullens any different?" I turned away from her grinding my teeth as I remembered the first time I destroyed a whole coven. It was out of pain not anger and if Kyle hadn't have came I would have burned the pieces.
Not answering her question I said, "The most important demand of all is that no one is to touch the Cullens until I give the ok. I don't need a battle before the time is right." They all stared confused when I looked at them. " If you don't want to follow my rules, then leave now and when you do something stupid, good luck against the Voltri. Because you know just as well as I do that if you don't do what your told you will be punished with suffering not only death." I added on. They just shook their heads and found something to do leaving me alone in my misery.
The following Monday I didn't see any of the Cullens or Jamie till lunch. The others and I were sitting at a distant table from the one I usually sat at. When they came into the cafeteria they were all together with Jamie. They all looked at us and all the Cullens tensed as they saw who accompanied me. Edward got really tense when he made eye contact with Chelsea. She was sent to brake the ties between Jamie and the Cullens, but wouldn't until I gave the signal. She was loyal to me on a level. The coven talked so quietly to each other that even I couldn't hear them.
After they got their lunch Jamie started walking toward me. Edward tried to keep her away, but she refused. So he, Jamie and Isabelle made their way to our table. When they sat down the two different covens growled at each other where Jamie couldn't hear. I just rolled my eyes. They were so immature. They all got very tense and glared at each other as Jamie tried to start a conversation. "So Bella, who are your friends?" she asked me with worry in her voice.
"Oh they came from Italy to. This is Chelsea, Jane, Alec, Felix, and Kyle." I told Jamie with the same tone of voice as my first day as I looked at each one.
"Well, I'm Jamie. This is Edward and Isabelle. We'd like to welcome you to the school." she said just as chipper as she did the first day. But as I looked at the two beside her I knew they were thinking just the opposite of welcome. Neither side made any movement. It was quiet for a minute before she continued. "Anyway I was wondering why you ran out Saturday. I mean you were having such a great time with Luke and everyone." For the first time Jane and the others took their eyes off Edward and Isabelle and turned my way.
"Well, I had to get home to meet these five." I lied gesturing to them and hoping she wouldn't bring up the tears. She just smiled and ate her food. Minutes passed by of complete silence at our table. The other Cullens across the cafeteria couldn't take their eyes off of us. Their glare tortured me.
"Oh Bella, I forgot." Jamie said with food in her mouth as I turned away from the glair of the Cullens.
"Yeah?" I asked as she went looking threw her book bag.
"I found some info for you. I meant to give it to you at the party, but forgot" she stated pulling a manila folder from her bag. She saw my confused reaction and explained. " you remember a few months back when you told me that story? You know the one of the human girl and vampire?" she said staring at me.
"Yeah" I responded wondering why she was talking about it.
"Well you got me into it so I did some research and it took me a while, but I finally found the right sight." she said handing me the folder. I took it from her and opened it. I gasped as I read the title. Chelsea and Kyle leaned over and looked at it.
"Where did you find these. What site?" I asked flipping through the different versions of my past.
"It was hard to find actually. All the sites I looked at weren't anywhere close to what you told me. But then after researching old sites about Vampires I finally found one that gave me the link to the story. I believe the site was called Vampires A-Z. The story got online because of a writing competition. The people were so amazed how close these five stories were so all five won a spot on their website. I read them all and the story was very interesting. Now I know why you liked it so much." I looked up at her and shut the folder.
"Yeah well if he didn't betray her they could have lived happily ever after." I said.
"Well there is five different versions of the story." she started. "Each one has the authors initials on it." she held her hand out for the folder and I gave it to her. "See," she said pointing to Edward's initials on the paper. I looked at him and he just stared at me.
"Ok, I'll read the others and maybe get to the heart of the story. Hearing the other side could do me some good." I said reluctantly turning back to her as I forced a smile. She handed it back to me and the bell finally rung. I escaped before they could stop me.
During eighth period Biology, the one class that I had where Edward couldn't interrupt my conversations with Jamie because he sat in front of us, I decided to ask her. "Hey Jamie, who do you side with? In the story I mean?" I asked interested during our conversation. I saw Edward suddenly become interested in our conversation.
"I'd have to say the vampire boy." she said not looking at me.
"Why?" I asked turning to her. She reluctantly turned to me and answered.
"Well after reading all the versions his really touched me."
"Why?" I asked confused. What was so different about Edward's side of our story? I needed to know and I hated being confused.
"Well just how he cared for the girl ya know. She was his world; he'd do anything for her. The time she fell into that trap; he got her letter. His sister gave it to him after she realized what the girl did and where she was going. He refused to lose his world. And when he left her, the pain he felt. Then when she'd choose her best friend over him, he felt so much pain. He felt like he was losing her to him and she could see right thru him. There was no way he betrayed her. By what he says, she pulled away from him and it hurt him more that she believed she couldn't trust him. He gave her everything and he suffered in the end. I believe he wrote, 'Death takes me every minute I'm without my heart, my soul. Alive without her here is living in hell and my world is forever darkened. A life without her is worse then death and burning in Hell.'"
I couldn't speak after that because when she said what he wrote so did Edward. I could hear the pain, suffering and love in his voice. I looked at him and made myself remember my mission. He knew how to lie; anyone would believe his lie. Their was no way he felt the way he wrote. I told myself believing.
That Saturday morning I caught up with Jamie knowing if I didn't change her that day I wouldn't be able to. "Hey Jamie." I said as I climbed into her car.
"Hey Bella, where to?" she asked excited that I told her I needed to get away from Forks for the day.
"You mind if I drive, it's kind of complicated to get to the right spot." I said looking at her with a begging in my voice.
She unbuckled and got out of the drivers seat. I quickly got out and we switched spots. "Just be careful with her, she's my baby." I chuckled and took off.
By 2:00 pm we finally made it to the open field; the meadow. "Bella, what's this all about?" Jamie asked when we hit the meadow. I whipped around to face her.
"if you had a choice to become a vampire, would you do it?" I asked.
"What?" she asked confused.
"In the story the girl had a choice to become a Vampire and she took it. Would you?" I asked with seriousness.
"I guess so, I don't know. Why did you bring me here Bella?" she asked getting scared.
"Just answer the question Jamie. Do you want to be a vampire yes or no?" I demanded.
"Yes, I want to become a vampire. If they were real I would become one." she stated with fear and truth. I wanted to know why, but didn't ask knowing that Alice would have seen and I had limited time to act. I smiled my evil smile and then the others came from the trees and surrounded her.
"Well then, your wish is my command." I said walking slowly toward her. She was terrified to death. She walked back slowly knowing if she ran she wouldn't get far. Jane gave her a low shock and Jamie went tumbling to the ground. I leaped at he and landed right over her.
"You're the girl from the story." she choked out with a fearful voice.
"Well at least we found a girl with brains." Jane stated. But before I could get my teeth in her we smelled and saw the Cullens, all except Edward.
"Do it Darkness, we'll take care of them." Jane said fiercely. I bent down over Jamie as the Cullens came into view. She struggled under me and next thing I know I'm flying through the air because of my daughter.
"Jamie, run get out of here." Isabelle yelled as I was getting up.
"Stop Her!" I shouted to the others.
"She's to far away Darkness. We'll get her later. Right now we have more important things to tend to." Jane said back as I saw her use her gift against Esme. I angrily stared at Isabelle and growled.
"Your going to pay for that Daughter." I hissed.
"Oh, I am no daughter of yours Darkness and now your going to die. It's your time to pay for what you did to my family." she stated just as peed off as me. We both ran at each other and came to an abrupt halt when we saw Edward. He stood between the two of us , holding us back from the other. "Dad move out of my way." Isabelle growled not taking her eyes off me. Everyone watched as Edward turned his back toward me and looked at our daughter.
"Isabelle you will not lay a hand on your mother" Edward stated fatherly to her. "You heard me Isabelle." Edward yelled at her. He rolled his eyes at another thought and turned to me. "And Isabella, if you want to lay a hand on our daughter you'll have to go through me." Edward stated then crouched in front of our daughter.
"No! Don't intervene this is between me and her." Edward yelled to his family. "Well if she kills me, then all my suffering will be gone." He said again answering a thought.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll stay out of this." I said angrily to everyone. I crouched just like he did and we slowly moved. In my mind I pulled up the hazy memory of when he fought Victoria. Though he was to fast to see back then I remembered all I could see and his steps. The only difference is that he finally met his match. He wouldn't know what I was planning in doing next.
"Come on Bella. Come and get me." he taunted as he followed my steps.
"Don't think I won't kill you Edward. Don't you dare underestimate me." I yelled at him.
"Oh believe me Bella, I don't underestimate you. If anything I overestimate you." He said as we danced. I didn't respond. For the next few minutes we circled not saying anything. Then out of nowhere Edward falls to his knees in pain. I whipped my head toward Jane; she was smiling an evil smile.
"Now you can finish him Darkness." she said as Edward slowly got up. I growled at Jane as she shocked the others again. "Like I said, they sent us here to help." she smarted off. To prove that I didn't need any help, I attacked.
Edward didn't do a thing as I knocked him to the ground. I started hitting and punching him and still he did nothing. "Fight back dang it. Come on Fight back!" I yelled at him. Edward threw me off him, crouched and growled. We ran toward each other, but Edward suddenly stopped. I kept running, but this time when I stopped I had Edward held up by the neck.
"Kill him Darkness." Jane urged my suddenly. I started to make my hand tighter. "I'm sure the Voltri would forgive us for losing the girl if we take out another clan." she encouraged me fluently. "Kill Him!" she yelled after a minute.
That's when I realized I couldn't. As I stood there about to kill the only man I ever loved I remembered. I remembered everything we went through. I saw the first time our eyes met. The first time I heard his voice. I also saw him confessing when he first took me here. When my mind remembered James it also remembered what I saw in the video last week. As my mind remembered my thoughts started to know that he never did betray me; I betrayed him.
That's when my mind went to Jamie's voice on Monday. "He gave her everything and he suffered in the end… I believe he wrote 'Death takes me every minute I'm without my heart, my soul. Alive without her here is living in hell and my world is forever darkened. A life without her is worse then death and burning in Hell.'" So that caused me to think of what he said that day he kissed me. "You'll come back to me. When you realize why I truly did the things I did, you'll come back to me. Before this century is over, I will have my Bella back. I promise you this; I won't give up until you are safe in my arms again. Vampire or not I will always protect you. My love, my true Bella will find me. My heart calls to her, it always called to her. Only she has the power to call it her own. No matter what she's done, I will love her always."
As the last words of Edward rang in my head the pictures of my time in forks flew by my memory. The last picture wouldn't leave my mind. The next thing I know I release my hold on Edward and fall to the ground as an ocean fled from my eyes. All I could choke out was "I can't." Not even a second after I fell Edward was down with his arms around me, trying to comfort me. He hummed my lullaby as I cried into his chest again like I did when I cried for Jacob. Edward tightened his hold on me as Jane realized what had happened.
"Crap!" She yelled angrily. "Come on lets get out of here. He'll want to know what has happened." I heard their feet shuffle, all but Kyle's; then I heard Emmett's.
"No let them go son." Carlisle told him calmly and concerned.
"Kyle, come now." She yelled; then I heard his feet move. We are still loyal to you Isabella. We always will be! He thought so only Edward and I could hear him. I felt Edward shake his head yes to an unspoken question.
"Come on, lets get home. There is a lot to talk about." Carlisle said softly. I heard them all turn and leave, but my daughter lingered. After a few minutes she left and I knew that she would be the hardest to forgive me. My cries softened and after a few hours or so finally stopped. Edward said nothing during that time and let me figure everything out in my mind. He just held me and hummed my lullaby. It was the only medication I needed for my pain. It was then I knew what I had been missing in my life for the past 120 years; HIM.
