Chapter 26- Blackest Hour
I stared at my phone as I contemplated whether or not I should call Edward. This matter was urgent, but Edward needed to focus on finding Riley. Two days had passed since I arrived at La Push. Two since "The Talk". I had barely talked to anyone. As the pack came and went frequently.
"Hey, guys. It's Saturday!" Quil cried happily. Everyone just ignored Quil and continued doing whatever they were before he interrupted. Leah and Sam were arguing over some girl named Emily. While Embry, Jared and Paul yelled at the TV. "Come on!" Jared shouted. "Look at that tackle." Paul commented impressed.
I giggled at how serious men got when it came to sports. If only they had that same passion when it came to life. I smiled inwardly knowing I would never have to sit through Football Sunday with Edward. Just one of the many perks of dating a vampire.
"I can't believe this. It's not even Sunday. And their watching Football." Quil said in disbelief. He plopped onto the couch. Causing the couch to shake a bit at his force. "Whoa there. Not all of us here are Super Natural beings." I reminded him. "Sorry Bella." He smiled innocently. He threw both his arms back and stared at the TV forcefully.
I sighed as I tried to ignore the fact that Jacob barely left his room since I arrived. I had to admit that stung a bit. Why was he being so stubborn? I decided I would call Edward and see how the hunt was going. I stepped outside quietly not wanting to disturb anyone.
I punched in his number as I walked toward the beach. A safe distance from the house so they couldn't hear me.
*Phone Conversation*
Edward: Bella. Is everything alright?
Bella: Yeah. (I lied). I just miss you.
Edward: (He chuckled). I miss you too. Have you made any progress with Jacob?
Bella: No. He won't leave his room. (I sighed). So how's the search party?
Edward: We're really close. We should be back in another day or so.
Bella: I can't wait till you come back.
Edward: Bella. What is it?
Bella: (Edward must have heard something in my voice. I knew I couldn't lie well). It's just I had a talk with Sam. And it left me sort of uneasy.
Edward: I won't let him hurt you or anyone else.
Bella: Wait how did you know?
Edward: I am a mind reader Bella (he chuckled). I'll protect you.
Bella: I love you. Hurry back.
Edward: I love you.
The line went dead as I kept the phone at my ear. I missed him so much it was pathetic to say the least. Just hearing his voice comforted me a bit. But I couldn't help the fear that remained in me. Sam was going to order the pack to kill us if he turned me.
I didn't move for what seemed a short amount of time. "Bella." Someone called lightly. I shook my head trying to regain what had just happened. "Bella. Are you alright?" Emily asked concerned. I nodded unable to speak.
I pulled the phone away from ear and stared at Emily aimlessly. Emily quickly shook me lightly. I just remained still. I couldn't explain what was going on. But it was like my body was on Auto pilot. I was conscious but not in control. "Sam! Someone come quick!" Emily shouted in a urgent voice.
I was instantly surrounded by the pack but I was unable to acknowledge them. All I could think about was that Sam and the pack would slaugther the Cullens because of me. "Bella. Can you hear me?" Sam asked as he gripped my arms securely.
Their voices became distant and they slowly faded as a new scenario took place. I was in a forest but I wasn't at La Push. The leaves were a bright a green and the Moon light lit up the sky beautifully. I scanned my surroundings as I tried to figure out where I was.
"Bella." Someone whispered in a velvet voice. I smiled widely knowing who was calling my name. I searched around for Edward knowing he was near. "Edward. Where are you?" I cried happily. I took a step forward and gasped. I had only taken one step yet I was a good distance from where I was originally standing.
I stared down at my feet and became bewildered by what I saw. My skin was a translutant color and I was dressed in a dark blue silky cocktail dress. I touched my face and felt satin like skin covering my face. "Impossible." I whispered to myself.
"Bella." Edward called again. I looked forward and saw him standing there. He was perfect as always yet somehow different. I ran toward him and reached him in seconds. I stared in confusion as Edward smiled a crooked smile. "How do you feel?" He asked curiously.
"I feel different. Invicible." I responded truthfully. Edward pulled me to his chest and crushed his lips against mine. I could feel his lips urging mine to kiss him as forcefully. There was no hint of restraint in his lips. I pulled away abruptly. Taking a step back.
"Bella. What is it?" His face became worried yet calm. "Ok. What is up with you? Your acting strange."I admitted. Edward straightened his posture and walked over to me. "I don't want you to feel overwhelmed nor frightened." He explained.
"Frightned of what?" I questioned sincerely. Edward shot me a puzzled look. "Bella. This is all new for you. Carlisle and I weren't sure how you would adapt or behave. But I must admit I am quiet surprised by your quick take on immortality." Edward said impressed. My mouth hung open as it all made sense. I was a vampire.
"You turned me?" I asked in shock. "Bella. Isn't that what you wanted?" Edward asked with a painful expression. I realized in that instance that Edward had thought I was in shock of what I was. I kissed his lips eagerly hoping he would understand he was wrong. It was Edward this time who pulled away.
"Edward. I was in shock. I can't believe I'm finally one of you." I cried happily. I smiled hoping he was up to speed. Edward smiled a dazzling smile that would have sent my human heart into a frenzy. "Shall we?" He extended his arm. "We shall." I replied. I took his arm and we ran across the forest. The speed was exhilarating.
"Bella. Can you hear me? Bella. Please wake up." A hoarse voice pleaded. My eyes fluttered rapidly as I tried to make out the images in front of me. "Jacob?" I asked still uncertain. "Bella!" Jacob sighed in relief. He squeezed me tightly not allowing air to fill my lungs. "Jake. I think your crushing her." Quil commented.
Jacob released me instantly and cupped my face. "How are you feeling?" He asked. "I feel a bit I'm ok." I lied. I wasn't ok. Not until Edward turned me. I tried to stand up but my knees wobbled. Jacob caught me and set me on the stairs. "How long was I out for?" Quil passed me a glass of water.
"Like twenty minutes. I think you went into a state of shock." Jacob assumed. "Yeah." I agreed. I took three sips of water before I put it down. I stood up and stretched out my arms and legs. Jacob observed me as I bit my lip nervously. "What are you plotting?" Jacob accused.
"Nothing." I lied quickly. Jacob knew me too well. I was going to push the wedding for when Edward returned. "Bella." Jacob said my name cautiously. "Yes." I answered innocently. "Why is there a ring on your finger?" He asked nervously. I looked down at my engagement ring and then locked my eyes on his dark brown eyes.
"Jake. I'm sorry you had to find out this way." I said apologetic. Jacob's face became enraged as my words confirmed his accusations. "You can't be serious?" He spat. "It's very serious, Jacob. I am going to marry Edward Cullen and there is nothing you can do to stop me." I declared. I was unusually so hostile toward Jacob. But I was tired of always having to second guess my self.
I decided I was going to stand by decisions and be happy about what I wanted. "Jake. I can't always worry about how your going to handle my choices. I choose Edward and that's the truth. I won't allow my happiness to be clouded by others reactions or dissagreements." I announced sternly.
In that moment I realized I was absolutely sure of all the choices I made. I wanted to be with Edward forever. If that meant I had to face the blackest hour of my life to spend an eternity at Edward's side. Then I would gladly take that price. It was nothing compared to all the happiness I would endure being by Edward's side.
