Paul POV
"Charlie… I can explain." My voice quivered, and then looked back at Rachel and all the lust had gone, all the confused feelings I had for her was gone. My eyes furrowed. What the hell had just come over me? One minute I was all in love with Bella and she does one stupid thing with her eyes and I'm all over her. Did she just hypnotise me…? That was messed up.
I heard her whisper in my ear lowly "Yes Paul. I did. It's what I have always done to you. That's why you kept coming back." With that said she left, so quick you could barely see her blurred figure.
Did she just read my thoughts? I shook my head and dropped it into my hands.
"You better have a damn good reason boy." Charlie spat as he closed the door. "I respected the shit out of you, I think of you as my son. But you're seeing my daughter and now kissing this girl."
He obviously hadn't heard Rachel and I felt the tears blurring my vision. "I don't know. I don't know what the hell is going on. She's no…girl. She's not human. She read my mind. She fucking hypnotized me or something."
"Paul don't give me that shit. You know it isn't true." Charlie scowled at me, and my heart lurched. He'd never been angry with me until now.
"It is. I swear to god." I shook my head. "How would you explain her disappearing so quickly?"
Charlie blinked and then furrowed his eyebrows. "Huh. That is odd. Okay Paul. I believe you. But you're not off the hook until you tell Bella everything. Alright?"
"I can't. She'll be heartbroken. And how the hell will she believe me that some chick hypnotized me. Surely she'll think that's just the worst lie ever?"
"It's better than finding out a different way. Come over tomorrow and explain alright?" Charlie said sternly and left the house leaving me baffled and confused.
What the hell was Rachel? Was she some sort of witch or something? It was too much too think about. I had to lie down, I had to think. I had to breathe. But everything just went blank.
I woke up the next day, sprawled on the ground- I must have fallen when I blanked out. Shit. I needed to tell Bella today. Sighing I got up and changed into a pair of cut offs and a black muscle top. I slipped on a pair of trainers and I was out the door heading to Bella's house. I knocked once and waited for her to answer.
"Paul." Her face lit up and hugged me tight.
I frowned and shook my head. "Bella I need to tell you something."
"Oh. Is it bad?" She looked up at me worried as she pulled away and clasped her hands together.
"Sort of." I looked down at the gap between our feet.
"Are you breaking up with me?" I could hear the panic raising in her voice and her breath hitching.
"No!" I said immediately before calming my tone and muttered. "But you might want to break up with me for this."
"Oh, well tell me Paul." She said as she pulled my face back up to level with hers.
"Well. Um. I lied to you yesterday. I did sleep with someone after I met you. In fact just two nights ago. Rachel. And then again last night… but we didn't go all the way; your dad came in just in time. We sort of had this deal that if I didn't sleep with her, she would expose my secret. But Bella I wasn't in my right mind. She hypnotised me into sleeping with her and making that stupid bet. She hypnotized me into sleeping with her the last two nights. I swear she did. She's not human."
Bella looked at me blankly and silently for two minutes and I was beginning to panic that she would shut the door on my face. Not that I didn't deserve it.
"Why did you not tell me this yesterday?" Her voice was calm but I could feel the tremor in it.
"I was scared that you would reject me. That you would run away." I frowned, confused that that was the only thing she was angry about.
"Paul. I believe you about the whole hypnotising thing, even though it doesn't really add up. But I wish you had told me. Whatever bet you had you should have broken it off." She sighed as ran a hand through her hair.
"I know. I'm sorry. And I understand if you don't want to see me again." I whispered.
"No. I still want to see you. You told me the truth Paul. And I can see your telling the truth now. But I think I just need some space to think about it." She said and then her eyes widened. "Wait did you say Rachel?"
"I understand. But Bella, I'll wait for you even if it is forever." My words were true and sincere. "Uh. Yeah why?"
"That's Jacob's sister. She went missing two years ago and no one has heard from her since except for once… Billy had gone ballistic for ages until they finally got a letter saying she was sorry for leaving so abruptly but she needed to escape and she was now in university. What was this Rachel's second name?"
"Black." My eyebrows shot up. "It's Jacob's sister?"
"Shit." Bella breathed and then furrowed her eyebrows. "And you say she's not exactly human?"
"Yeah. She's quite pale looking. Her eyes were a weird dark red colour." I shook my head and then something in my mind brought up the Quileute legends. "The cold ones. She's a cold one. I know it."
"What's a cold one?" Bella asked, her face looking puzzled. "You're description matched the ones of the Cullen's too."
"The cold ones are vampires Bella. They have pale skin, blood like eyes and suck blood. They sparkle in sunlight. The only difference with the Cullen's is that their apparently some sort of vegetarian vampires and only drink Animal blood. I just thought the legends were a stupid myth, but it sort of makes sense." I blinked.
"You mean I have a fucking vampire stalking me? And Jake's sister is one?" Bella's form was quavering and I saw she had gone pale.
"Bella?" I said hesitantly and rested my hand on her arm. "What do you mean you have a vampire stalking you?"
"He…. Edward…. At school, he stares at me all the time and he just gives me this uncomfortable feeling." She whispered as a shiver spread through her body.
"Edward Cullen? Which one is he?" I narrowed my eyes. "Stay away from him Bella. I don't like the sound of him."
She nodded and then sighed. "Paul you need to leave. I need time to think about all of this and so do you. When this finally makes sense I'll call you. Just give me time and wait."
I nodded and pressed my lips to her forehead. This wasn't too bad- she wasn't running away. But it still panicked me. "Bye Bella."
"Bye." And with that she closed the door.
Edward's POV-
"What do you mean he's broken the deal off?" I hissed into the phone.
"He's with Bella Swan now. Apparently he doesn't want to betray her. Though I can easily hypnotise him sir…." Rachel informed me.
"Keep doing it. I need that mutt away from my Bella. Do whatever is in your power."
"Sir. They know we're vampires. Paul knows what I do now. I overheard them and it won't be so easy anymore- he told Isabella everything and she hasn't ended it with him." Her voice sounded a little cautious as she told me this.
"What? How?" I snapped and then flung the rock I had in my hand against the tree, causing it to splinter.
"The Quileute legends, he managed to figure it out. I told him I could hypnotize people and that must have triggered it. But sir, how did you know that Bella and Paul were going to become an item so long ago, before she even moved here?" She queried and I laughed darkly.
"My sister, Alice, can see the future and oblivious to what I was becoming told me that there was going to be a new girl in school, Bella and that I would have some sort of fascination with her, but she would date that horrible dog. So I planned for you to step in to make it less suspicious. But how can you be stupid as to tell him your powers Rachel?" I growled and a hand squeezed my arm.
I looked around and smiled at the woman in front of me. "Never mind Rachel. We'll find another way. But just try everything you can. We will be back in a week."
"Okay sir. And I do get to have my prise after?" I heard the smiled in her voice.
"Yes. Goodbye Rachel." I said and clicked the phone shut.
"Mmm. I guess that plan is ruined?" Victoria hummed.
"Not quite."
Okay. Sorry this may seemed rushed but I had this whole Idea and I wanted to write it all down before I forgot it so if something doesn't make sense tell me and I will explain (and please don't make it anonymous). But woah. So Paul isn't as naughty as he seemed. Rachel was actually a vampire and hypnotised him. It was all part of Edwards wicked plan. Tsk tsk. Poor Bella and Paul, will they ever get any piece? And this unknown woman is Victoria? Woaaah! Well Next chapter might not be so eventful. Two eventful chapters is enough for me right now. Just some kissy kissy time maybe ;)
