I don't own Twilight or Demi Gods. Just the plot. :)
EPOV
What? What's going on? How come I can't open my eyes? Oh God, am I dead? Wait... I already am dead... Damn. Who is touching me? Then I heard a giggle. It sounded like music... Bella. Great my hearing is back, finally. Then I heard her speaking.
"Blacky, come over here please," she said. Blacky? Who the hell is Blacky? I heard grass being smushed and the smell of horse came over me. Oh.
I heard some neighing and Bella giggled again. Music to my ears. Then I felt hands going around me, soft tiny ones. Why is Bella doing that? Just then I felt the ground disappear from under me and the smoothness of a horse pelt touched my skin. Damn, Bella is strong! After about two minutes of her and the horse trying to get me onto the horses back, I was finally on right.
I heard the sound of skin rubbing against skin, so I guessed that the horse moved it's head to look at my Bella. Also the fact that my head was the soft neck. I heard the horses amused thoughts as it stared at Bella... Maybe at me.
What's with the vampy on my back Bells? I froze even more. Did she know what I was? If so then why wasn't she scared? I gulped silently. Then I heard her laugh. Maybe it was a joke between the two. She is kind of crazy but that only adds to her charm.
"Don't freak out Black Star, he won't bite... At least I don't think he will." I gulped again. The sound of laughing came from the horse and Bella. Okay, maybe it is a joke to them. It better be.
Black Star or Blacky moved forward, probably following Bella inside, since the change of temperature was drastic. Black Star nudged something, I'm guessing Bella. A sting of jealousy got to me. Only me, only I can be jealous of a horse that is touching my Bella. Cloth rubbing against cloth got my attention as Bella turned around and rubbed Black Star's nose as I'm guessing. Bella probably kissed the nose of Black Star.
"I'm to see you Blacks, but why are you here? Did Daddy send you?" she murmured. Daddy? As in her father? Well no shit, my mind yelled at me. Okay, okay, that was a stupid question.
I felt Blacks, as I had started calling him, shake his head no and wrapped his head and neck around Bella's shoulder, probably as if he was hugging her. No I just wanted to see my favorite girl I heard him think. I felt warm arms go around Blacks neck and stayed there for about thirty minutes.
After twenty five minutes, I realized I could move my arms and legs, so that's exactly what I did. MY eyelids twitched, trying to open. Hearing a gasp come from Bella, she and Blacks hurried into another room.
I was lowered onto a couch so I'm guessing that I'm in the living room. Wow a lot of guessing today. I heard Bella kneel down near my ear and whisper.
"Change what I said earlier. You won't remember anything, only that you followed me home and watched me. Then you hit your head and fell out of the tree you were in. I heard it and saw you fall. You don't have major injuries, you just blacked out." Was all I heard. My mind instantly registered that and soon, without my doing so, that's what I remembered.
I flinched at the feel of a wet rag touching my forehead. What? I wasn't expecting it. Hearing a clatter and the sloshing of water, I felt Bella dab the cold rag against my head again. My eyes twitched and I heard a thud of something heavy against the floor. Blacks was probably lying down. Bella kept dabbing my forehead, until my eyes opened a little. Looking up at Bella, she pulled away with a soft, beautiful smile.
"Are you okay? You took a nasty fall out of a tree and was knocked out," she said, seeming worried and innocent. Her voice was like bells.
"I... I think I'm fine," I said, rubbing my head where I think I hit it when I fell out of the tree. Odd, I don't remember anything... But I do know that I didn't fall out of a tree... What the hell is going on? Looking around, my eyes landed on Blacks. His image rang a bell but I couldn't put my finger on the memory. "Why is there a horse with wings on the floor?" I asked confused.
"Uh, it's not real! It's just a statue I made," Bella said, quickly. Panic was clear in her eyes, but it was gone the next second.
"Thank you for um..." What do I thank this beautiful, mysterious creature for? "Whatever you did to stop me from getting head trauma. I owe you," I said with a smile. She shook her head.
"You don't owe me anything." What? She did this for me, I need to do something for her!
I sat up and looked around with interest. It was kind of dark and mysterious in her home. Everything was either blue, dark dark purple, crimson, or black. It fits her. The couch we are on was plaid with navy blue, dark purple, and blood red. Nice. Hearing Bella sigh, I looked back at her.
"Yeah I know, a bit morbid and weird right?" she said, with a smile. I smiled as well.
"Not really. I like it. It's very mysterious," I murmured. I looked at the time. Eight already. I must be going. I did have to seem human, right?
"You should get going, it's getting late and school is tomorrow. I don't want you to get in trouble," she said. Wait what? Tomorrow is Saturday isn't it? Oh whatever. I didn't want to leave and I'm pretty sure it showed. I had no choice but to let Bella haul me to my feet, with her smiling. I love that smile. It lit up her face and made her look so happy.
"Goodnight Edward. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite," she said, giggling. I laughed and nodded. I had to act human again. For some reason, I felt like I could be myself around her. I left without a word, heading into the forest.
Looking back, I saw Bella's face a split second before the door closed. I checked my cell and saw that I had a text from Alice.
Edward, you fell for Bella's trick. Tomorrow is Saturday ya idiot! I won't tell anyone since you are my favorite brother. Oh and I hope you and Bella work out. I know you two are perfect for each other. :) - A
I shook my head and smiled. I knew it. I hit reply and sent her a text.
Thanks Ali. For everything. - E
I waited for a while after replying to her text message, watching Bella's house. I heard a giggle coming from it so she must be happy. I heard no movement after an hour, so I went up to her window. Bella's eyes were closed and she was breathing evenly. Asleep.
I smiled and sat just inside her window. "Edward..." came from Bella's lips in a breathy whisper after two hours. I stiffened. Did she wake up? Did she see me? When I looked at her face, she was still asleep. She must be sleep talking. Cute. I stayed where I was, but she didn't talk for the rest of the night. Doesn't matter, I was captured by her beauty. So peaceful when asleep.
The sun was rising, and I dropped out of sight, but staying so I can watch over Bella. I know, stalkerish right? I can't help it though, I feel so protective of her. Like she has to be in my sight.
I looked away when Bella was getting dressed. I sighed and left knowing she will be fine. Running home, my thoughts started to race. Even though they were racing, I couldn't think straight and I couldn't concentrate.
Alice was waiting for me at the front door. I could see she was bouncing with excitement. Her happy thoughts came into my head.
EDWARD! Hurry up and change into clean clothes. We are heading over to Bella's, she thought as I passed. I nodded and headed up to my room. Turning on Clair de Lune, I listened to the music as I took a quick shower. After washing up, I changed into the black jeans and button up blue shirt that Alice put on my couch.
Coming down the stairs, I put on my favorite black leather jacket. Alice ran out to the Volvo and screamed. "Hurry up Edward!" I sighed.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" I yelled back. "Stupid pixie," I murmured under my breath.
"I heard that!" she screamed at me. I shrugged and got in the car, starting the engine. Alice was bouncing in her seat, looking out the window, trying not to squeal shockingly. The ride was silent, except for the constant hum coming from Alice. Soon, we pulled up to Bella's house.
I sighed in relief and got out of the car. I turned to see Bella and an older man hugging. He looked like a rocker. Cool. A strong emotion ran through me and I glared at the guy. There was a Ferrari 430 out front, so I'm guessing that it belongs to the man. I heard Bella whisper.
"Daddy! I missed you!" she whisper - screamed. The man, her father, laughed and hugged her tightly. Unfair, I want to be the one that is touching her, jealousy ran through me.
"I missed you too Dead Bells," he whispered back. Dead Bells? What kind of nickname is that?
Alice and I got out of the car and watched Bella and her father. Bella must have noticed us, since she looked right in our direction. She pulled her father into her house and closed the door behind her, after sending one last glance at us. Alice and I looked at each other and murmured.
"Something strange is going on. Why would Bella's father come now, and he wasn't here when she first got here? Why was she living alone?" Alice asked.
Honestly, I didn't notice that her father wasn't here yesterday, I guessed that he was out for some errands or something like that. Looks like I was wrong, don't it?
"I don't know, Alice. Let's get closer to hear their conversation," I whispered and sneaked closer. Yes I know we were eaves dropping, but I couldn't help it. I was curious.
"... I like your outfit Daddy," I heard Bella say. It sounded like she had a smile. I heard a deep chuckle from inside.
"Thanks Bells. I like yours too," her father said. I smiled. I tried reading their minds, but again, it was like they weren't there.
It went quiet inside. Too quiet. I guess they were bonding, you know, Father-Daughter time. Too bad Alice is impatient. After about two hours, she ran to the door and rang the bell. I rolled my eyes at her and stood next to Alice. It was quiet for a few seconds, then the door opened. Bella stood there in a black dress, combat boots, and fingerless, fishnet, biker gloves.
My mouth flopped open and I stared. Alice saw Bella and squealed... Right in my ear. Ow. Bella leaned against the door frame.
"Hey, whats up?" she said calmly.
"You have awesome taste!" Alice squealed. Bella smiled a little. She nodded. Bella looked at me.
"Ahm, Edward? You might want to close your mouth, or else you'll catch flies," Bella said, with humor in her eyes. I closed my mouth quickly.
"Bella? Who is that man you were hugging earlier?" I asked her, seriously. I noticed her biting her lip, it made her look sexy, if I do say so myself.
The clunking of combat boots on wooden stairs got my attention as the man from earlier came into view. His eyes were black, like a vampire's. A smile appeared on Bella's face as she watched her father coming closer. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and once again, I felt the jealousy running through me. Why couldn't I be the with my arm around her? Enter an invisible pout here.
"Hello. I'm sorry for the short notice, but I'm Bella's father, Charlie. Who are you?" he said in a deep, secretive voice. Alice smiled brightly.
"Hi! I'm Alice and this is my brother, Edward," she said, with a squeal. Charlie nodded and smiled. Behind him, Bella gasped quietly and her eyes widened with something... Terror, fear, or something else.
"D-dad..." Bella whispered in a broken, afraid voice. Charlie turned to look at her and she nodded in a silent conversation with them. He looked back at us with a deathly look in his eyes.
"I think it's best if you leave... Right now," he said, his eyes narrowing. Is it me or did I hear a threatening note in his voice?
However, we did leave. We got in the Volvo and sped off... Or that's what they think. We stopped when we were out of their sight, got out of the car, and ran right back. We kept hidden again and listened to her and Charlie.
Charlie grabbed Bella by her shoulders and looked straight at her glazed over eyes. "What is it Bells?"
"A fury..." A fury? What the hell is that?
Bella's father grew noticeably upset and growled. "I will take care of this. They weren't supposed to leave the Underworld." The Underworld? As in Hell? No no, it can't be. Maybe it's just an inside joke.
Alice looked at me, and I shrugged. Looking back, we saw that her father was speeding down the road, away from the house. A flash of a leathery brown, something that we wouldn't have noticed if we weren't watching as carefully as we were. Bella looked after her dad and closed the door. The sound of tears falling to the ground reached us. Bella was crying. All I wanted to do now was go and comfort her, to make her stop crying. The only thing that kept me from doing that was Alice holding onto my arm.
"No Edward, not yet," she whispered. All went quiet again in Bella's house.
"Okay Alice," I agreed and ran back to the Volvo with Alice following behind me. We raced home hurrying.
Pulling in, Alice shot from her side and into the house. I rolled my eyes, following her slowly. Emmett looked at me and I ignored all the looks.
"Edward, where were you and Alice?" Esme asked, with wide innocent eyes. I shook my head and headed up to my room. Closing my door and locking it, I turned on Clair De Lune and stood out the window, gazing at the dying light.
Today's events were shocking and confusing. I don't know what to make of it. The Underworld, a fury, Bella's father... It's all so confusing. All I know is that Bella isn't human and that she knows something about my family and me. I know she isn't human and I'm set on finding out what she is.
Standing by my window, I continued to think. What is that beautiful, mysterious girl that lives in the dark house? I will find out.
