(a/n: Hello again, readers. This chapter is back to Annie's POV. I know that the last chapter was pretty dark and it would have been darker, but this one will not be if I have anything to say about it. As usual, the Twilight characters belong to Stephenie Meyer and the Big Time Rush characters belong to Nickelodeon. Jo will be making her appearance known in this chapter. So it will be a contrast between the light and the dark. Enjoy, and I will see you all at the bottom.)
Chapter 3:Meeting Bella a Second Time
January 8th, 2007
Kendall and I were in the school parking lot, waiting for Bella to make her appearance. Bella knew that we would walk her to the office, but she didn't know that the 3 of us had the exact same schedule. 10 minutes after we arrived, we heard the unmistakable roar of a very old truck or car. "Bet you $50 its an old car from Ford," Kendall said.
"No way, it's an old truck, so you are on," I retorted. We only had to wait 1 minute until we would know. "Instead of $50, Mr. Knight, you will owe me a favor that I can cash in anytime."
Darn it.
You will not be sorry with it, unless I want . . .
You wouldn't make me do that, would you? Kendall thought I was going to make him watch "girly" romances with him. No way, well save that idea for later.
I meant you come with me to a couple's spa day, silly.
Kendall sighed in relief. Bella parked right next to my Porsche 911 Turbo. Her eyes widened when she saw Kendall and I leaning against its sapphire blue exterior. "Wow, you guys own that car?" Bella exclaimed.
"Actually, the car is mine," I said, "Not Kendall's. We also have a pair of motorcycles, along with some other motorized vehicles, back at the compound."
"Oh by the way Annie, Mom told me that Jo," Kendall shivered as he said her name, "has moved up here."
This is NOT good. Not good at all. Bella heard that thought. "Why is that not good Annie?" Bella asked.
"When we first moved to LA, Jo was a nice girl; a little clingy but nice. That all changed when she spotted me and Kendall together in the Palmwoods park," I started to tell Bella.
"When she spotted us," Kendall took over for me, "we were having a picnic. At the time, I was feeding Annie chocolate-covered strawberries. Jo came up to us and asked if I would go on a date with her. Of course, I said no. After that, she basically went nuts trying to get me to break up with Annie; and get together with her."
"She even went as far as to tie me up, gag me, and stuff me in a utility closet. Thank heavens Mr. Bitters found me in that closet," I explained, " Jo is NOT to be trusted with the secret, all right Bella? If she even hears that Kendall and I have magic, she will make it sound like I am a witch that has made Kendall fall in love with me."
"So, basically you both want me to lie," Bella summarized.
"No!" Kendall and I exclaimed. Kendall continued, "Just never say that every member of Big Time Rush and our girlfriends are magical."
I can agree to that¸ Bella thought. "Where's the office?"
"Right the way, Bella." Kendall and I took Bella to the office, where she got her schedule. I asked her, "Can I see your schedule?"
"Of course." Bella handed over her schedule to me. I started bouncing up and down and, in a very Alice way, started to squeal. "Kendall, what does that mean?"
"My vision was right, as usual. You have every single class with us for the rest of the year," I explained happily. "And by the way, you might want to sit with us at lunch. Otherwise you will be more in the spotlight than if you did not."
"All right," Bella acquiesced, "Shall we go to class then?"
"Let's go," Kendall said. The first part of the day went as well as could be expected, Bella had to introduce herself in most of our classes and she hated it. Lunch was completely different though, I would make sure of that.
"Bella, come sit with us," I said. Jo walked in to the cafeteria at that moment.
Oh great. Kendall thought.
Here comes the stalker, James thought.
Can I punch her face in NOW? Carlos thought.
I wonder why Jo is so interested in Kendall, Logan thought, it's not like he would drop Annie for her. Kendall would never and could never do that to Annie.
Thanks for thinking that Logan. Carlos, if you punch her in the face; yes I would approve, but you would also get into trouble. We girls will come up with a plan to get her out of our lives. I smirked.
"So," Camille, Jennifer, and Wendy asked, "what's the plan?"
"Let's make a plan later. Right now, we need to keep her from getting to close to any one of us," I ordered.
"All right, just so you know, girl, we are not happy doing that. We want her out of our lives right now," Jennifer quipped. And I really want to give her two black eyes, along with two broken arms after what she did to you the last time we saw her. Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer; what I would not do if I could offer you that, but alas, I cannot. Jo spotted me at our table and Kendall in the lunch line. She walked towards us.
Twin, I need your help¸ I thought to Edward, This girl who is walking towards us is not good news. I recited to twin what happened in LA. He was appalled and enraged.
What do we do, sis? Do you want Jazz's and Emmett's help as well?
And Alice's and Rose's, just in case. I want her gone quickly, but not dead. Ok, I DO want her dead, but it would be revenge, not justice.
All right, we'll come sit with you.
Thanks, twin.
"No problem sis," Edward said aloud. I hoped that Alice saw something about Jo.
"That girl really has it bad for Kendall," Jazz reported, "She thinks that he is meant for her and her alone."
I asked twin, "Is this true?"
"As much as I want to say no, dearest sister, I cannot. She REALLY wants you dead so she can get Kendall," Edward said. She arrived at the table a minute later.
"Annie," Jo said, "Can I talk to you for a minute alone?"
Thinking about ways she can get me alone, is she? I asked twin.
Yes. She thinks that if she can get you away from the others right now, that she can threaten you away from Kendall. If that does not work, she will look up your address.
Great, just great. Someone who wishes to kill me just because of who I am 'mated' with. "Sure, Jo," I replied, "But we do not leave the cafeteria at all."
"All right." Jo walked to a place where it was less of an ideal place to be overheard, or so she thought. Everyone would be able to hear what she was about to say. "Stay away from Kendall, bitch. He is meant for me. If you continue to stay near him, I will make your life a living hell; or I will kill you. Still haven't decided on that part." The cafeteria had gone silent when I went with Jo and now everyone was appalled at what Jo said.
Mike thought, is that bitch serious?!
She better get away from Annie, otherwise she is in big trouble from me and her family, this from Angela and Ben. Wow, I did not think that the populace of Forks High was this protective of me. Stunned by the thoughts of the students around us, I answered Jo, "You do understand that I could literally go to the office right now and tell them to get Chief Swan here right now to arrest your ugly butt and put a restraining order on it, right?" And that is just what I did.
When I left for the office building, I heard Rose and Alice getting up and heading towards me; I was definitely not in the mood for conversation, and they knew it. "Annie, she needs . . . "
"She needs what, Alice?" I interrupted my favorite vampire sister, "A swift kick to whatever idiotic planet she comes from? Because if that is the case, then I agree. If not, then I do not know if I can stay here anymore. Not with that threat on my life. If push comes to shove, I WILL leave Forks."
"Annie," Alice said, "I see you leaving Forks behind in a different form than you think." She kills me then, is that it, Alice? "Yes."
"We need to get rid of that bitch now, before she ends up killing you," Rose said, "But the problem is the how, not the why. If my understanding is correct of the scenario we have found you in, she will not leave you and Kendall alone, correct?"
"That's just it, Rose. Jo will not leave us alone until one of three things happen: one, I die; two, she dies; or three, Kendall dies. And even if the third one happens, I have a bad feeling that she would try to kill me." We arrived at the office at that time. "Mrs. Cope? Can you please call Chief Swan and tell him to come here with the paperwork for a restraining order?"
Mrs. Cope asked, "Why do you need that, Annie?"
"One of the two new students, Jo, has got it bad for Kendall. When we lived in LA, she tied me up, gagged me, and left me in a utility closet while she went after him. She just now threatened me with death or a, and I am paraphrasing, 'living hell of a life.' Please call him." She did so immediately.
Fifteen minutes later, the lunch bell rang. Great, I would miss Edward meet Bella for the first time since 1918. Oh well, it will be worth it if I can get Jo away from Kendall and I. Kendall was in the office because Jo also threatened him. Baby, I will not allow that crazy bitch to hurt you; but I will NOT go anywhere with her at the same time, Kendall thought to me.
So, now we have jumped from the frying pan and into the oven.
You could say that, what does Alice see?
Me dead, possibly you as well. Kendall was completely appalled at the mere idea of her killing me.
I thought that you could not die.
I CAN die. But my death has to be either suicide or murder. I cannot be killed by illness, old age, cancer, bullets, or any biological weapons that can be easily manufactured. However, I can be killed by magical means. The last time I was killed was the year 1300 a.d. That was when the witch Jane killed me because I did not do what she wanted me to do. Later that year, she was changed into a vampire. I have never committed suicide in all my past lives.
Chief Swan walked in at that time, "Ms. Cullen, I heard that you need a restraining order placed on a fellow student here, is that true?"
"Sadly, it is, Chief Swan. Kendall also needs one. We need them placed on Jo Topper because of her past behavior to me in LA and the fact that she is now threatening me with death," I reported to him.
Kendall continued for me, "She has also threatened me that if I do not leave Annie for her, that I would regret that choice. I fear that Annie will be dead soon, because of Jo. Likewise, Annie is afraid that I will be dead soon, because I refuse to take that girl on as my girlfriend. Annie is the one for me. I cannot even pretend to like another girl ever since I started dreaming of her when I was five years old." I gasped at that knowledge. Really, baby? All those years of me thinking that you were just not into me in that sense were my insecurities speaking?
Yes, I did not know how to act when I was near you; until we were 13 years old, or at least I was. "All right," Charlie said, "Do you two have guardians that can sign these for you?"
"Kendall's mom is currently in LA with Katie, his little sister. But she gave Carlisle guardianship over him until he turned 18, which happens this upcoming September," I said, "Carlisle adopted me a few years back, but allowed me to live where I wanted. Does that help?"
"Yes. I will give him a call right now," Charlie replied and gave Carlisle a call. Apparently, Alice had called him and just as Charlie started to look for Carlisle's number, he walked into the office with Esme.
"Alice called, saying that you needed me to come to school," Carlisle explained, "What is it?"
"Carlisle, can you sign these restraining orders signed by you so that Jo cannot come near either of us without the law being able to arrest her?" Kendall asked.
"What did this girl Jo do to you in LA that warrants this action?" Esme asked.
"She tied me up, gagged me, and stuffed me into a utility closet, so she could get to Kendall," I explained, "And now she followed us to Forks. Kendall, did you post anything about where we were going to move?" Esme gasped at what I told her.
"No, and Mom and Katie did not tell anyone where we were moving either. She has to have a tracking device somewhere on my stuff," Kendall angrily said.
"This is not right," Charlie said, "This girl just decides to like you, and when she sees you with your girlfriend, she flips out. Then after you move out of the state, she somehow ends up moving to where you have moved to; then decides to threaten your girlfriend. That is stalker behavior right there."
"When you put it that way, Chief Swan, I think we do not have a normal stalker situation here," I was seeing the signs of a witch. What is it, Annie? Everyone who was in on the secret asked simultaneously.
She's a witch. This is normal behavior for one. They tend to fixate on sorcerers, thinking that the sorcerer is meant to be theirs and theirs alone. The last time this happened, it ended up with the witch turning into a vampire, Jane.
Jane's a witch?! My vampire family was shocked by this revelation.
A vampire witch; she can only use one of her abilities, pain. The other ones she employed to kill me last time have left her because of the conversion.
So I have to make sure to stay away from her? Bella thought to me.
Nope, you are the only person who lives who can stand her assault on your senses. So you should not care, as long as you do not mention the name Titana. Back then, that was my name. Her brother, Alec, was one of my guardians, as I was only 15 at the time of my death. Jane thought I was stealing him from her. When she killed me, Alec swore vengeance on Avalon; in fact, he swore vengeance at the base of the great Rowan tree. If a sorcerer swears vengeance there, Merlin will help him or her with exacting the vengeance.
"You are right, Annie," Charlie replied, "Is there any place where you two can go that no one knows who you are?"
"No," Kendall explained, "Because we are who we are, we could get recognized anywhere. Maybe we should get Freight Train up here."
"Who's Freight Train?"
"Our body guard. Great guy really. He looks menacing, but is really a softie to us," I explained, really wishing we had thought of this earlier, "Kendall, do you still have his number?"
"Kelly does, not me."
Esme immediately went into 'momma bear mode' stating, "Chief Swan, if any one of my children is harmed, and I include the rest of Big Time Rush and their girls, then I will be removing that one element in their lives that is hurting them. Each one of them has had a rough start. Annie was raped when she was a child, and that man was someone who fixated on her because of certain traits that she has. Because of what she went through then, she is super protective of Kendall and the others."
Charlie asked me, "Is this true?"
"Yes, the man is now dead because he killed the people who first adopted me. When I escaped from the house of horrors he was keeping me in, I immediately called Edward; asking him if there was any way he could get Carlisle to pick me up and adopt me. After that phone call, I did not talk for 5 years. I truly was not in a good place emotionally until I met the boys," I told Charlie. After the restraining orders were signed, all of us were sent home. I refused to talk, scrunching up into a ball; just like I had from 1945 to 1950, right after Hitler died.
(a/n: Sorry about the cliffy, needed to end this chapter sooner than later. Next chapter starts, in Twilight time, when Bella, Jessica, and Angela go to Port Angeles to dress shop. PLEASE REVIEW! The reviews are needed to ascertain if you want more. Also, will be doing another Kendall POV. See everyone later.)
