Chapter 9
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
"Ugh! Five more minutes!" I moaned.
"BELLA!" I knew that voice anywhere, it was Jacob's.
"I'm trying to sleep! Get lost numb bum!" I yawned rolling over.
"Isabella!" Jasper?
"Bella you get your lazy backside out of bed right now!" Commanded Alice. All this time Jake was hysterical.
"Bella! Oh Bella dear!" Esme?
"Hey lil sis!" Emmet?
"Isabella I would recommend that you get out of bed" Carlisle. All ways the calm one.
"Bella" the usual stern greeting of Rosalie.
"My Bella dear!" Oh no. Growling erupted from Jake and the rest.
"Oh will you lot just get lost! I. Am. Trying. To. Sleep!" I seethed, sitting up turning to face Edweird as James put it.
"I don't have the time or the energy for this come and kill me at a more convenient time please!" I laughed without humour. Jacob pounced Edward and dragged him outside through the open window.
"Screw sleep! I wanna watch this" I yawned as I leapt out of bed. Ouch. Turns out ripping IV leads from your arm hurts.
"Bella, back in bed now" Carlisle instructed me, he put a big plaster on my arm. I soon leapt up and ran after Jake. The Cullen's followed my lead, we got to the woods and soon found Jake beating the life (sorry, existence) out of Edward.
"Ha!" I laughed, rolling on my backside. Wait a minute. I was bitten by a vampire. I should be dead.
I looked at my arms, definitely paler. But hang on, my arms are still soft. What the hell? I could hear mine and Jake's heart beats, I could see the pulse in his neck and the pulse in my wrist. How did I not notice?
"What the hell am I?" I demanded. Forgetting about the fight in front of me.
"Uh... Here's the thing. We don't have the slightest clue" Jasper told me.
"So I'm a sorta vamp but a sort of human?" I queried.
They all nodded. Gulp.
"Why don't I want to eat anyone?" I asked, confused.
"We don't know. Maybe you're not 'as' vampire as us." Was Carlisle's answer.
"It seems that you're shield fought against the change since you did not consent to it." Esme whispered, but then I realised. I would repulse Jake. I wouldn't be a loud on Quileute lands. But I was still me! I was just a little less fragile.
I got up. All of this was his fault! If Edward had left me alone James would never have come after me! I walked towards Jake.
"I hate you!" I screamed at Edward. I shoved Jake out of the way and dismantled Edward piece by piece. It was easy! It felt like ripping bread.
When finally all that remained was his head and his shattered corpse lying in pieces below said head. I knelt down beside him.
"I hope you rot in hell you soulless monster!" I whispered. I laughed looking at the pleading look on his face. Jacob passed me the matches.
"Just got burned!" I boomed as the match hit his mangled body.
"Rest in pieces!" I laughed. I turned to Jacob.
"Jake?" he was silent.
"Jake! Say something!" I pleaded.
"Please Jake! I didn't choose this! I didn't want this!" I cried
"Please? Say something!" I screamed snapping the tree next to me in anguish.
"Good- bye"
"No, no, no! Please Jake no!" I wailed falling to the floor. I had completely forgotten the Cullens.
"Go, just go!" I cried as venomous tears escaped my eyes. I saw Jacobs retreating figure as he ran through the woods. Through the woods and away from me. The monster.
1 month later
"Bella?" I didn't even care who it was.
"Bella?" I had nothing to say, he is gone. And without him life is pointless; but because I'm part vamp there's no way out. I don't burn like normal bloodsuckers, but I'm not as fragile as humans... All in all, my life was over. I existed without meaning or purpose.
"Bella? Open up" the voice was demanding but kind; I just didn't have anything left in me. I didn't feel like I could make it to the door to open it. I had locked myself in here the moment I mustered up the will power to move from the forest floor, most people had stopped calling, and this was the first person in 2 weeks.
"Bella, open the door or I will bang it down and everyone from Forks and la push will be in here in a flash!" Threatened the voice. I noted the voice was male, but I didn't care who it was. I couldn't think as it was. This man knew my weakness. People. I HATE people! I've learned now that people are untrustworthy, they can let you down. But you can't, YOU can't abandon yourself on the forest floor, YOU can't hurt yourself, again and again and again.
"I mean it!" the voice was getting louder now; I managed to gather the will to speak.
"The key is behind the door bell" Oh, great! Now I've let someone in! But I knew it was inevitable.
"What the hell?" He asked as he took in my apartment. Jacob was on his way over to help me move in on the day he left! I felt the stinging tears run down my face and found myself not caring.
"I'm Sam, you might not know me very well but..." he trailed off. "I was there, I saw everything that happened and thought you might need a friend?" I knew from the way he said friend that he wanted to say 'me'.
"How did I survive?" I asked, surprised that someone from the Quileute pack had come to see me, much less their Alpha.
"You were dying of blood loss once Alice sucked the venom out, but you're body had already changed, but not completely. Jacob picked up a knife and cut open his wrist, then did the same to you and joined you're wrist's. He gave you enough blood to live; Jake was devastated that you had been turned. In his eyes you were just another vampire, but I know better than that." He winked; I mentally rolled my eyes and scoffed in disgust.
(AN: When Jacob mixed his blood with Bella's, she became an Alpha's choice. AKA When an Alpha smell's her blood his wolf goes crazy, the potency in Bella's case was enough to break the imprint between Sam and Emily. Bella doesn't know; and Sam is an absolute banana :) She still loves Jacob, (what's not to love?) but Sam has his own attractions... He carries alpha blood (not as potent as Jake) but is enough to drive her crazy, watch and see how this unfolds)
"So... Do you wanna get up, go out?"
"Uh... no, not really." I sighed, hopefully he would just get the message soon enough.
"Cool, I can hang" He chuckled sitting next to me o my bed. I rolled over; he laid down and draped his arm over my waist. Oh, no. He did NOT just touch me!
"HEY! NO TOUCHING!" I shot up and all but leapt in the tiny lounge.
"Sorry, I guess I over stepped the mark there." He was smirking as he apologised letting me know he wasn't sorry at all.
"Just don't let it happen again" I gave him a warning hiss before turning my back to him, sitting down and staring at the wall. I sat legs crossed in meditating position, humming to myself, blocking out his attempts at conversation.
"You know you really are very pretty..." Now that caught my attention. WHAT THE HELL? I decided to pretend I couldn't hear him.
"Are you ignoring me?" He asked, he sounded greatly. The problem with that question was he made me want to respond to defend myself, but if I don't he'll think I'm being childish. Not that his opinion mattered... YOU ARE SO WEAK! I screamed at myself (mentally.)
"Okay, I'll take that as you think I'm hot" He deadpanned. Drat! He got me there and he knew it!
"No, I think you're irritating!" I growled out.
"Yeah, sure" he laughed. I lunged at his throat and had him pinned.
"Wanna say that again?" I hissed, with a smirk of my own on my face.
"I said it once, but I like this position though..." I suddenly realised that I was straddling his hips. Whoops. I launched myself backwards, feeling infuriated but somehow embarrassed.
"Ahh, don't be embarrassed B-B" He stalked forwards putting a hand on the wall beside my head; I was pinned in the corner. He buried his nose in my neck, sniffing me?
"WHAT THE HELL?" I growled; him being in such close proximity was unnerving. His warm breath fanned over my skin making me feel like I was going to combust.
"Personal space! Ever heard of it?" I gasped; I tried shoving at his arm. But I was so weak! At the same time I felt sick, the imprint was not helping! I couldn't breathe!
"Yes, I have heard of it, I just have no intentions of respecting it."
"Step. Back. Can't. Breathe!" I struggled, he stepped back. I saw his signature smirk appear, I hated this! I hated that he could affect me, make me weak and he really needs to learn regards for personal space!
"Aw! Looks like someone might be a little flustered!" He cooed as he ran a finger across my cheek bone. I slid down the wall, putting my head in my hands.
" !"
"No"
"I SAID GET OUT!" I stood up and grabbed his hand. I twisted his arms behind his back and shoved him out of my front door, locking it behind him. Not that it would stop him.
He stayed away that night. Leaving me to return to numbness...
Jacob's pov
Run. Run. Run. That was all my wolf was saying.
(Wolf in italics, Jake normal)
Mate is dead!
No! She is fine, just a little different.
Don't lie! She is one of them!
Only in part, and the wolf blood in her out way's the venom.
Run.
What do you think I'm doing?
Run.
