(A/n: Sorry about the last chapter being so short. I personally was trying to deal with how to word things. So to recap: James wants Bella. Annie switches places with Bella, even though Annie knows that she will have to kiss her twin brother on the mouth and that will get Kendall pissed off. Annie also knows that if she doesn't make herself seem to be Bella, the tracker WILL hurt Bella, possibly killing her. DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Twilight or Big Time Rush. However, I do own Annie, Wendy and this plot. Happy reading!)
Chapter 8: Phoenix Showdown at Sunset
April 2nd, Phoenix, Arizona
"Are you sure that I do not need to go outside Alice?" I asked, partially because I did not want them knowing that Bella was actually on Avalon and I was only looking (and acting) like her for the tracker. I was going to kill him if he tries to get to me.
"Yes Bella," Alice replied, "You do not need to leave the hotel room." Damn! I really needed to talk to Kendall, he was pissed at me or Edward; I truly needed to tell him I had to act like that because Bella would have. It's like Bella is not Bella, Jasper thought, she is acting like she is Annie. I thought Annie went with Kendall to Avalon. I had to tell them the truth then. Especially if we were to keep up this charade.
"Jasper, Alice. I have something to confess to the both of you."
"What is it Bella?" Jasper asked. Alice was very puzzled. She was over thinking things again.
"Alice, stop with the over-thinking for one second. I'm Annie, not Bella." Both of them had never seen me actually perform a spell of this magnitude before. "Bella is right now on Avalon, looking like she always has. I actually needed to make myself look like her in order to get the tracker onto MY tail and off hers." They were speechless, even in their minds, at the information I just gave them.
"If you are really Annie," Jasper retorted, "Then when did Alice and I join the Cullens?"
"The two of you joined Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Wendy, and myself on May 7th, 1950, five years after Edward and Emmett found me in Berlin after my 6 year-long ordeal at the hands, and other body parts, of Adolf Hitler and his officials, while we were living in Calgary, Illinois. Alice, you were the first person I had talked aloud to in five years. You and Jasper helped me start getting over my ordeal. Anything else you want to rip the bandage off of, Jasper?" I was emotionally hurting once again at having to mention those years and I knew Jazz felt it.
"Sorry Annie. Why did you have to look like Bella? You know Edward thinks that Bella is here and you are on Avalon," Alice said.
Jasper said, "Is it a battle strategy Annie?"
"Yes. I take fire, instead of Bella, and get to destroy the reason for Alice's change. The tracker had hunted you Alice. The reason you probably do not remember your human life is because it was spent in the stupid asylum at the hands of people who were ignorant and loved to torture those that were different. You had to endure shock therapy." I shook in anger at what they had done to her at that place of pain. Would you like me to calm you down?
Thanks, Jazz; that would be nice. I need to be calm but not complacent when things hit the fan.
"How soon are things hitting the fan Annie?" Alice asked.
"In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1." Alice's phone rang.
"Edward," Alice answered. She went into the bedroom to have the conversation with twin. Do NOT tell twin that Bella is on Avalon. Make him think that I am Bella.
Will do Annie. Alice walked back into the living room. "Edward would like to talk to you Bella."
I grasped the phone at that, "Edward, please tell me your safe." I knew Bella would say something along those lines.
"We lost the tracker, Bella," Edward told me, "I'm coming to get you." Oh great, if twin thought he would take Bella away from here, he was going to be furious. "And Carlisle and I will take you somewhere else to keep you safe. I will not rest until your safe again. I know it seems really wrong for me to love you, but I do."
"I love you too. Edward," I replied, "I understand that you need to do this, but promise me that you will not try to kill yourself if something happens to me."
"I cannot promise that Bella," Edward was trying, I could tell, "but I can promise that I will try my hardest to make you safe."
"I love you, see you soon," I ended the call. I knew at the time that I would be headed to meet the stupid tracker in the morning. I immediately pulled out my phone and called Kendall.
"I think you owe me an explanation, Annie," Kendall stated. He was hurt.
I sighed, "I do. I had to make twin think that I was Bella. I'm so sorry, love." I started to beg for his forgiveness.
"I completely understand now, I just wish that you had told me BEFORE you had to kiss your brother on the lips. What do you need?"
"I need Carlos, Logan, James, Jennifer, Camille, and you to get over here and tail me invisibly in the morning. You will need to also be intangible. Wendy needs to stay with Bella."
"We'll be over there in five minutes. Love you, my angel."
"I love you too, my soon-to-be king." I ended the call at that.
Alice and Jasper walked in as I ended the call. Alice sat on one side and Jasper on the other. "I know that you are scared, but you need to realize that this will work," Jasper said, "Alice saw that the only injuries that you may acquire on behalf of Bella is a broken leg, several broken ribs and maybe a concussion."
"That's good news," Kendall said with sarcasm dripping from his voice, "She comes back with broken bones."
"It could be worse Kendall. The tracker could put his hand through my chest and kill me," I retorted. "You have no right to be this way Kendall. I am going, no matter what. I have to protect Bella."
"What do we tell Edward when he gets here to take 'Bella' somewhere else?" Jasper pointed out.
"You and Alice tell him the truth," Logan revealed, "that Annie made everyone besides Bella and Kendall think that she was Bella and Bella was her. The explanation will also allow Edward to know the exact reason that Kendall was shooting him death glares."
The next morning, Phoenix, Arizona
I was on my way to meet the tracker. I just left Bella's house here in Phoenix and was walking towards her old ballet studio, hoping that the tracker does not have Bella's mom. Otherwise, things had DEFINITELY hit the fan while the fan was going at its highest speed.
I arrived at the studio and went into the practice room. I heard Renee's voice call out for Bella, but I could tell it was a recording. "Nice try tracker," I called out, "You think you could lure Bella using a recording of her mom?"
The tracker responded, "You're here, aren't you? By the way, what is with you referring to yourself in the third person?" I reversed the spell.
"I am not Bella. I just needed to get you away from your psychotic mate. And the ruse worked," I congratulated myself, "I plan on taking a while on your death, tracker. Why? Because you would have killed not just my best friend in the entire world, but also because you tried to ruin my twin brother's only chance at happiness."
10:00 pm, Phoenix, Arizona
"Annie, you did not need to do that," Edward was trying to convince me that I did not need to switch places with Bella in order to bring the tracker down.
"Would you rather Bella be in this hospital bed then," I shot back, "If I had not made myself look like Bella, that is what would have happened. She would also have had a skull fracture along with substantial blood loss." Kendall was sitting next to me, holding my hand. "I know that I should have told you about the plan, Edward, but I had no time whatsoever to do so. If I had, I would have told you everything. Anyways you have read what happens to you and Bella in the future." Edward looked at me as if I had suddenly gone crazy. "Did you not read The Twilight Saga?"
"I thought that you had only used my name," twin said, "I thought that those books were not about me."
Kendall answered for me, "Annie told me that The Twilight Saga was Bella's point of view, The Midnight Saga was from your point of view, and The Supernatural Love Chronicles were from her point of view. You need to not leave Bella; otherwise you will have bigger fish to fry."
One of the nurses, along with Carlisle and the attending doctor, came in at that time. "Well Ms. Masen, are you feeling all right to travel?" The doctor asked me.
"If you are asking me if I feel up to driving my way back to Forks, no. If you are asking me if I feel up to being driven back to Forks, then yes. I want to go home so I can get back to writing the prequels and songs for the new album."
Carlisle interjected, "I am her father and her doctor. Her chart shows that she could be driven or fly back home. So will you please get the paperwork together for her discharge?"
The doctor told the nurse to start the paperwork. I was finally getting out of Phoenix. I would make sure that Bella would be safe before ever allowing her to get near any more vampires that did not share the Cullen's and the Denali's diet. I wanted my sister to be safe at all times.
The End
(a/n: Finally done with Big Time Twilight. Now onto writing New Worldwide, the sequel to Big Time Twilight. Please REVIEW! Every writer loves it when someone leaves either some love [in the form of a good review], or some ideas that they could incorporate/expand on [in the form of a constructive critique. I would love both personally. And yes, in New Worldwide Annie does decide on the final title. I am just not telling anyone right now. [insert smirk here] I hope to hear from all of you soon enough. If you wish to start reading New Worldwide, just click on my penname above. I will likely post the first chapter of New Worldwide soon. Lots of hopes that all of you are living your lives with a Big Time Rush, zanyannie)
