In this series Jacob isn't into Bella, but he still sees her as a friend. I just wanted to clear that up.
My senses were on hyper drive as I sped past the thick trees in Forks. Edward was behind me laughing at my cheerful attitude. Edward and I were running in the forest at top speed. Each day I slowly showed them the different abilities I was given by my parents. Right now I was a few feet in front of Edward laughing feel the joy in the atmosphere.
This was the only time we can do so much together. School just started back up and I was getting mentally tired. The other teens at school would stare and whisper when they saw me. They didn't even know about Edward and me going out yet. That would give the people of Forks some real news since the Cullen's moved down here.
In the few weeks since I woke up, Edward and I have been doing different things that's been beyond human status. We went swimming under the water for more than an hour, we had a rock tossing contest that contained boulders, and we were running like we were now. The other day I even went hunting with the Cullen's.
While I was running in front of Edward, but I turned to see him gone. I was in for a surprise when I turned back to see him next to me. I screamed and dodged a tree and came to a stop in the clearing that Edward found some time ago.
"You ass. Was that really necessary?" he came to a stop next to me and I pushed him. "You could've killed me."
His eyebrows rose, "By a tree. Do you think I would let you die by the tree?" He laughed at me, "You're just over reacting." He grabbed my arm and walked backwards to the center of the field and I followed him.
"Whatever. But I could've at least hurt myself." He both lay down in the blooming flowers from summertime. I was popped up with my head in my hand and other roaming his face. "It's weird." He looked at me confused. "We could've been this way. We could've been… happy."
The hand he was using to run in my hair stopped moving. He didn't say anything for a minute. "All that has happened between Bella and I, it's in the past. You and I have been through something different. It's strange, but I can't help, but love every single thing about the way I feel about you."
I picked up my head and smiled. "That's good to know. And once the bound is complete I can tell you about everything. It's so much going on I still think I'm dreaming."
For two hours we stayed on the ground and talked or we fell into a comfortable silence. To me this was happiness and safety. I don't want to give any of this up. Life would have to seize it from my hands.
The cloudy white stone in my mother's necklace began to glow. But the strange thing was that it instantly brightened and the heat of it stung, but left no mark. My head shot up startling Edward. He stood up alongside of me as I searched the forest. It caused me to get the sense of Déjà vu.
Edward never did say anything yet, he just looked from the forest to my necklace that glowed brightly, and back to the forest. A sense of peril ran up my spine and a shadow in the forest faced Edward. I quickly kicked Edward to the ground without thinking and threw a purple light from my hand at the shadow. He dodged it and shot something at me. I ducked and dropped on top of Edward, straddling his waist.
I looked up to see a man come from out the trees, but his face was hidden by a hood he wore. I instantly made a fire ball and shot it his way. It caught him by surprise. He screamed and ran at an inhuman speed.
My breath was coming out in small gasps as my energy drained a little with the excitement of a surprise attack. "Edward we need to get out of here." And we did. He picked me up and ran all the way back to his house where we were before.
We stopped at the back door where I had begun pacing back and forth mumbling to myself, "That must have been the bastard following me. And he had the same power I did. I thought I was the last one."
"Menah what are you talking about?" Edward said walking up to me.
I looked at him contemplating on if I should tell him. I shook my head and said, "Lately I've been getting this feeling of being watched." I paused. I decided to tell him the major problem. "There's someone out there trying to get my powers. I don't know what his plan is, but I know he'll be after me soon."
Edward's face turned angry, "Why didn't you tell me?" He grabbed my shoulders. "We could protect you Menah. I could get you away from him."
"Edward it's not that easy. You cannot protect me from him. You believe yourself to be strong, but our abilities out match vampires. With get a flick of our wrist you could die along with your family and I will not be the cause of anyone of you dying." I said in almost one breath.
Without another word I left Edward standing there, I hope that he would get what I'm saying and won't try to get himself or the others involved with my mess.
Next Scene
Today was Bella's birthday. Charlie, Renee, and I got her a present against her wishes. She would love it anyone. Charlie knocked on her door while I stood behind him. He opens the door and Bella is just waking up.
We walk in with our gifts both saying, "Happy Birthday," but Charlie was a little bit stiff with his while I practically screamed it.
"I thought we agreed no presents." Bella said.
"Well the one from me is not wrapped so it doesn't count." He hands her a digital camera.
"It's actually great. Thanks Dad."
"Ah it goes with this one from your mother. We coordinated - well, she coordinated me." Bella opens up the wrapped gift to reveal a scrapbook. "It's to put your pictures in for senior year. Senior year… how did you get so old so fast?"
I snickered at Bella's face. "I didn't. I'm not that old."
Charlie touched her hair and said, "Isn't that a grey hair?"
"What, no way." She did a little pathetic freak out. She looked in the mirror and turned towards Charlie. "That's really funny." He held up his hands and left the room.
"My turn." I put my gift on her bed. She sat down and tore of the paper. She paused and looked up at my face. Her expression was pure shock. It was a necklace that Bella had brought with her savings one year. It was a locket that had green crystals in it. She had lost it and it upset her to lose it. I found it one day, but it was broken and I had it fixed for her.
"Menah… how did you find it, where?" She took it out of the box and put it around her neck. In the locket was a picture of Renee and Charlie.
"When I was cleaning up I found it. It was broken. I would've given it to you sooner, but too much was going on." I left her to get ready for school.
Next Scene
Ryan, Candice, and I were sitting in my truck. I watched as Bella took a picture of her friends when Edward pulled up. I focused on my hearing to hear Jessica, "So why did you and Edward break up?"
"I do- I don't wanna talk about it." She turned from looking at Edward.
I jumped out my jeep and kicked my friends out. "You don't have to be rude about it" Ryan said walking off.
Edward was walking towards his family until he saw me. He came in my direction with a smile of his face. 'Hopefully he dropped his feelings on my problem." When he reached me he brought me into a hug. "Good morning Ms. Swan."
"And a good morning to you Mr. Cullen." He grabbed my hand and led me to the school when a thought came to me. "You know you never told me the story of how you became a vampire."
He stared straight on and said, "After school, your house."
"Sure." I turned back to Bella to see Jacob jogging in her saw me looking and sent me a smile, which I returned and went back walking.
Next scene
Edward and I were walking down the halls ignoring the looks we got from the students. We were talking when I saw Bella up ahead with Alice.
"And about the green dress you'll be wearing to your party tonight. Great color on you." Alice told her.
Bella stood with a box in her hand. "… My party?"
"Edward she's throwing Bella a birthday party?" my eyes stayed on Alice and Bella.
"Yes." He nodded his head. "And Alice has a dress ready for you at home."
I glared at him, "Seriously?" I shook my head, "Don't answer that."
We sat together in class watching Romeo and Juliet. Some people looked to be crying and some were asleep. But I sat there bored having seen it so many times and different ones they made and read different versions of it. I talked with Edward and sometimes glanced at Bella when she looked back to us.
"I don't believe how people can't see how Romeo and Juliet are idiotic. First Romeo gets rejected by Rosaline and he still fancies her. Then he sees Juliet and falls in love with her. Juliet has to get married to Paris and make a choice to fake her death and she should've told Romeo before. They both end up killing their self's seconds apart. When all they had to do was runaway. Some might say it's not that simple, but it's better than what happened anyway."
Edward sat there amused at my ranting. "That's what I love about you. You can see things in different light than others. You see me as your equal than a monster that lives on blood."
"Edward…" my hand seized his gently, "Of course I won't see you as a monster even if we weren't mates. And whatever you did in the past is just that, the past." He didn't say anything, but he squeezed my hand instead.
"Have you ever thought of a way out?" I asked him suddenly thinking of Romeo in the movie.
"Look at Romeo. He's responsible for his wife's death. Who could live with that?" He looks to the screen, "... Though I do envy him …suicide." I looked at him weirdly. "It's nearly impossible for some people. A little poison, dagger to the heart. So many different options."
"Why would you even think of that?" the hand he held grew tighter.
"When I found you in a puddle of your own blood I had to think of something. If you wouldn't have made it, I would have gone along with my plan."
"What plan?" I asked him.
"There are... ways for us. At least one way. I would have gone to Italy, provoked the Volturi…" I nodded my head remembering when they explained why I could know about them.
The teacher interrupted Edward. "If there's someone that would like to repeat the last line to show that they were paying attention." He looked at us then said, "Cullen."
My eyes stayed on Edward as he repeated the lines, but I couldn't get his words from my mind. It was the same as seeing the woman in the woods along with my parents.
Next Scene
The dress was a short sapphire blue with silver beads to shine. I spun in a circle as Rosalie took a step back. "You look beautiful." She told me.
"Thank you. But it's not my birthday today." I put on some black pumps.
"I don't believe Alice still through her a surprise party. She's not a part of this family." I tilted my head and pulled her in for a hug.
"I know I can't convince you to like her. Just don't bite her head off, okay?" She nods her head. "Good. Let's have fun tonight."
Can Menah get a review. Maybe a follower. Or what about a favorite.
