Chapter 6
Third Person's POV
This was great this was just bloody great trust Richie to bring yet more drama into their lives, he just had to bloody go choose a girl who owned one of life's many complications. As if things weren't already bad enough as it is.
Pinching the bridge of his nose as he continued to stare at the pill jar Seth wondered if his brother actually knew about Bella's current condition because if so he was gonna kill his brother for dragging her along for the ride but if not Seth was gonna have to pull Richie aside and tell him, even if it wasn't his secret to tell.
Upon hearing the bathroom door open Seth quickly hid the pill jar in his pocket just as he saw Bella emerge in fresh new clothing.
"You okay?" he heard Richie ask her.
"Uh huh" Bella nodded.
"Sure?" Richie asked.
"Yep, I'm good" Bella confirmed.
She then gave Richie a reassuring smile before returning to her seat placing her old clothes in the rucksack.
"We any closer yet?" Bella asked aiming her question at Seth.
"Almost, won't be long now" Seth said not taking his eyes off her.
Bella noticing this stared at the brother oddly.
"What?" she asked him.
"Nothing" Seth said shaking his head.
"Then why are you looking at me like that?" Bella asked him eyebrows knotted together.
"No reason, you just seemed kind of peaky is all" Seth said.
"I've heard that one before" Bella scoffed.
Just then though Seth noticed how she seemed to zone out the same way his brother had before.
"Hey" Seth said clicking his fingers infront of her face. "Come back princess, come on" he said.
Still though Bella remained in her entranced state and Richie noticing this immediately intervened.
"Seth, shut up" Richie said not taking his eyes off Bella.
"What?" Seth asked looking at his brother in confusion.
"Just leave her" Richie told him.
Seth not understanding the situation glanced back and forth between Bella and Richie keeping his mouth shut as instructed.
It was a good two minutes before Bella finally snapped out of it and in doing so she leapt up from her seat to look out the window behind Angela and Jessica.
"What? What is it?" Richie asked her.
"We're being tailed" Bella said peaking through the curtain.
Her eyes scanned over the line of cars looking for the person she'd seen in her vision until she eventually spotted them.
"What?" Seth asked leaping up from his seating place.
"By who?" Richie asked.
"Take a look for yourselves" Bella said moving aside so the boys could take a peak.
As soon as the Gecko's clocked on to who she was talking about both brothers jaws clenched.
"Gonzalez" seethed both Richie and Seth.
"Bingo" Bella said.
"Shit! This is all we need" Seth hissed.
"I thought you killed him?" asked Richie looking at his brother accusingly.
"No I got him off our backs to give us enough time to get away" Seth argued back.
"You should have just let me handle it, I told you this would happen" Richie protested.
"And I told you that I'm in charge here so get the hell over it!" Seth half yelled.
"Boy's!" Bella yelled silencing both men who turned to look at her. "This is not a pissing contest, you both need to stick together right now otherwise you won't have a hope in hells chance of getting over that line. So do me a favour and stop crying over spilled milk and get your freaking balls on" she told them.
Both men taken back by this looked at each other before straightening themselves up.
"Yes Mam" smirked Seth walking past her to approach Jacob.
Richie then taking this time gently pulled Bella aside and leaned down to her ear.
"I love it when you talk like that, it's sexy as hell. The first chance I get to have you alone, your mine" Richie seductively whispered nibbling Bella's ear causing her to shiver at this.
"Promise?" Bella asked breathlessly as Richie pulled back to look at her.
"I guarantee it" he smirked.
"Okay then" said Bella biting her lip.
The two were about to lean in to steal a kiss when a voice rang out freezing them in place.
"Hey! Lover boy! Keep it in your pants and get over here!" called Seth.
Richie sighing in frustration mouthed 'later' to Bella who smiled at this before he went to join his brother.
"Whore"
"What did you say?" Bella asked snapping her head toward Scott.
"Nothing, I didn't say anything" spoke the sixteen year old smugly as Kate, Jess and Angela snickered under their breath.
Bella then approaching the group placed her hands on the table leaning on it whilst looking over the four with a smirk.
"Go ahead, laugh. But just know one thing, once we cross the boarder and trust me we will...all bets are off. So enjoy your little fun while you still can" Bella sadistically spoke going to walk away but stopped short turning back to face the young male. "Oh and Scott, the next time you decide to open that smart ass mouth of yours you won't have to worry about Richie putting a bullet through your skull because I'll personally rip your head right off" she told the teen throwing a wink his way.
Just then though dizziness hit her like a ton of bricks causing Bella to stumble backwards like the wind had suddenly been knocked out of her. Wincing as she then experienced what felt like a knife going through her brain Bella held her head leaning against the bathroom door to keep her balance.
"No, no no not again" Bella mumbled.
She then felt something warm flow from her eyes though she wasn't crying. Swiping at whatever it was she suddenly froze at the terrifying evidence shown on her hand.
Blood
'What the hell?' Bella thought to herself.
Yanking the bathroom door open she turned on the light however came to a stand still as soon as she caught her reflection in the mirror.
BPOV
Holy. Fucking. Shit!
Why were...how...what?
My eyes, they're bleeding!
"R-Richie" I stuttered not taking my eyes off the horrifying reflection.
All of the sudden though in the blink of an eye I saw my goddess appear in the mirror just behind my image with her hands placed on my shoulders.
"Bellaaa don't be frightened. You're almost home, but you must be strong my little one" spoke the goddess.
"What's happening to me?" I asked her.
"The pain is worsening, you must hurry to me before it's too late" said the goddess.
I knew what she was trying to say, though she didn't speak the actual words I knew exactly what she meant.
"How long?" I asked swallowing a lump in my throat.
"Hurry my princess" she whispered in my ear avoiding the question.
"How l..." I went to repeat the question but to my luck the goddess had yet again disappeared leaving me standing here alone.
Running my hands through my hair in frustration I quickly turned the sink taps on cupping the water in my hands to scrub my face getting rid of the bloody evidence.
Just then though I jumped nearly three feet in the air when I felt a hand touch my shoulder and snapped my head up to see Richie's reflection in the mirror.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you" Richie said raising his hands in surrender.
"No it's okay I just didn't hear you coming is all" I said trying to calm my heart down.
"What's wrong?" he asked tilting his head to the side abit.
"Nothing" I lied grabbing a towel to dab my face.
"Bella" Richie spoke in a warning tone of voice.
"Richie" I gave back.
"I know your hiding something from me, I can feel it" Richie said.
"There's nothing I swear" I lied again.
I then went to brush past him only he caught my arm and seemed to be lost in his own little world for a moment until it suddenly occurred to me what he was doing and I quickly yanked my arm out of his grasp and backed away.
"How. Dare. You" I said separating each word whilst staring at him accusingly.
"Bella..." he spoke with hostility.
"Don't. Just don't" I sternly spoke.
I then turned my back on him and went to sit back down feeling more pissed off and betrayed than ever.
Third Person's POV
He fucked up he knew he did, but else could he do? He knew there was something up with Bella and the fact that she wouldn't tell him just made him go to the extremes, except now Richie wished he hadn't and not just because he'd managed to upset Bella but because of what he'd seen in her head.
Poor Bella's childhood had been snatched away from her at the age of three up until she was eleven. The goddess had watched over her from when she was a baby for some reason and when Bella begun interacting with the mystery woman her parents thought she had lost her mind because to them she was talking to thin air, so both Mom and Dad had sent their daughter away to a psychiatry hospital where she had suffered endless days of injections nightmares and loneliness.
It was because or her parents that Bella had stopped believing in the goddess and the path she was meant to take. If they had just listened to Bella instead of presuming she was mad, much like other people did him then she would have followed her destiny a long time ago.
But still he sensed that something wasn't up to scratch here. Bella had something to hide, something that frightened her into closing herself off to him. The question was...what?
BPOV
How could he do that? How could he invade my mind like that? I mean I knew I wasn't one to talk seeing as I'd read his before but this was different, it was like I could actually feel him walking through my memory's though fortunately he'd only gotten so far before I'd managed to push him out.
It wasn't that I didn't trust him it's that if Richie were to find out about my evolvement with vampires as well as werewolves he'd be placed in danger and I couldn't allow that to happen. So as of right now I had to keep my guard up at all time's and keep everything in my head behind a barrier encase Richie tried it on again, which I had a feeling he would.
"Honeymoon over already?" I heard Seth ask Richie.
The two were stood off in the middle talking amongst them though I don't think they were aware that I was in hearing distance.
"Shut up Seth" Richie said.
"It was just a question" Seth humorously spoke.
'Men' I thought to myself rolling my eyes.
But just then I gasped out feeling the air almost knocked out of me as I was pulled into yet another vision, only this time I didn't anticipate the horror I was about witness.
Start of vision
Standing in what looked like a bar were Richie Seth Jacob Kate Angela Jessica and some biker looking dude I'd never seen before. They all seemed to be arguing about something or other when to my great shock from out of nowhere appeared the goddess.
"It's alright now Richard, I'm not going to hurt you. I've been waiting for you, both of you" spoke the goddess.
"Where's Bella?" asked Richie.
Huh?
"She's safe" assured the goddess.
"Bullshit, after the show you and your pack of freaks put on I highly doubt it" protested Seth.
What did he mean by that?
"I would never cause her harm" repented the goddess.
"But you allowed them to take her, why?" Richie asked staring at her timidly.
"I had to, it was the only way to keep her out of danger" said the goddess.
"Why did you lead us here? What is it you want?" Richie asked her.
"What I've desired my whole life, freedom. I'm tired of the isolation, the continuous overwhelming darkness. It's maddening. I never once thought there'd be a way out until I found salvation, you and Bella" explained the goddess.
What was she talking about?
"What do you mean?" Richie asked her.
"Richie don't listen to her" Seth opposed.
"You've returned her to us Richard, our family is at last complete" the goddess said.
"Richie I'm telling don't listen to this, she's messing with your head" Seth butted in again.
"I want to see Bella, now" Richie all but demanded ignoring his brother.
"Of course, just come with me and I'll take you to her" the goddess said holding her hand out for Richie to take.
Unexpectedly though from out of nowhere a bang echoed through the room and standing just a bit away was Angela with a gun in her hand pointed toward Richie whom just then I saw stumble backward with blood pouring down his shirt from a ghastly hole in his chest.
End of vision
"NOOOOO!" I screamed.
Almost instantly I felt the RV jerk forward and hit something, though I couldn't be too sure as I was too wrapped up in my own state of shock to care.
"What the hell are you doing padre!" Seth shouted at Jacob.
"My foot slipped what do you expect?" Jacob fired back.
Tears then stung my eyes as I saw Richie move to my side with a worried expression glued to his face.
"Bella. Bella what is it? What's wrong?" he asked me.
"I-I saw..." I trailed off not able to say the words.
"You saw what? What did you see?" Richie asked.
"The future, I think. I…something really bad is going to happen" I sobbed.
"What?" he asked.
"I...I can't tell you" I said.
How could I tell him that I saw his supposed death in a live vision? It just wasn't normal, it wasn't...right.
"Why not? Whatever it is you can talk to me" Richie said looking bewildered at this point.
"No, not about this. I'm sorry but unless there's a way to stop it from happening it's best you don't know. Please understand" I pleaded with him.
"It's okay, I understand. It's gonna be alright" Richie assured me tucking some hair behind my ear.
"No, no it won't" I sniffled shaking my head.
Richie then encircling his arms around me brought me into his warming embrace as I leaned my head into his chest silently letting the tears flow as the image of a horror struck blood covered Richie haunted my mind with the loud gun shot echoing through my ears.
'It won't happen I'll change it. I won't let him die' I thought to myself with pure determination.
I never once thought Angela would have the guts to take a life let alone at all, but I guess it just goes to show you never really know someone until you know them completely only to find out that their your worst nightmare.
"Where do you think your going?" I heard Seth ask.
I narrowed my head up to see Jacob getting up from drivers seat to brush past him.
"Are you gonna go out there?" Jacob asked him.
He must have hit something like I predicted.
Seth not saying anything let the middle aged man go, however stopped him at the door.
"Five minutes and if you so much as blink wrong its night night for the kids, got it?" Seth asked as Jacob nodded at this before disappearing through the door.
There were then murmurs outside as Seth kept a look out, though he glanced over his shoulder at Richie and I once or twice.
"Bella?" I heard Richie ask.
"Hmm" I said.
"Can I ask you something?" he asked.
"Uh huh" I said.
"I have to know. Earlier...why did you kiss me?" Richie asked.
"Honestly?" I asked feeling him nod. "I have no idea, I just knew that I missed my chance to kiss you before and I wasn't about to let the opportunity slip by me again. I know its gonna sound weird but...I feel like I've known you my whole life, like you've always been there somehow in the very back of my mind" I confessed.
"Its not weird, I felt...feel exactly the same way" Richie said as I raised my head to look at him.
"Really?" I asked.
Instead of saying anything though he answered my question with a surprising yet sensual kiss. I then responded by caressing his cheek feeling his tongue brush my lip trying to gain access, which I more than happily gave moaning as I felt his running down my side until...
"Hey! You two! Knock it off you'll make me throw up my breakfast!" called Seth.
"Oh get some brother" Richie said breaking our kiss making me chuckle.
"Fuck me" I heard Seth mumble.
"Wh..."
But before Richie could say anything the door was flung open and in came Jacob, but unfortunately he wasn't alone because to my surprise he was carrying with him a body of a man.
"What. In. The. Hell. Did you do?" I asked him.
"I didn't have a choice" Jacob said.
"What a brilliant idea lets just bring another hostage on board" said Richie irritated.
"Richie your not being of much help" Seth commented straining himself as he helped Jacob carry the man inside.
Richie and I then got off the couch as both men laid the man down.
"Great, so what are we gonna do now?" I asked.
"I haven't thought that far ahead yet princess so why don't you just give me a minute" Seth firmly spoke.
"Don't talk to her like that she didn't do anything wrong" Richie told him coming to my defense.
"Would you guys just shut up! The first thing we need to do is move his car forward" Jacob instructed.
"So now suddenly you're calling the shots?" asked Seth.
"I'll do it"
Spoke a voice as I turned to see it was Kate. This caused me to scoff.
"No, I'll do it" I said jumping in at that point.
"Why? I'm a good driver" Kate stated.
"Because one I don't trust you, two though you may seem innocent the feds will easily smell a fake and I somehow doubt that you'll be able to talk yourself out of getting caught. And three I'm the daughter of the chief of police of Fork's therefore I know a thing or two about how to deal with the law" I explained.
Beside Richie Jessica and Angela the rest of the crew looked taken back by what I'd just said.
"She's got a point" said Richie.
"Just to confirm you did just say you were the daughter of a cop didn't you?" asked Seth.
"Yeah" I nodded.
"Bellaaa"
"Huh, ok then" Seth shrugged and before I knew what was happening I felt an excruciating blow to the head as my world blacked out.
Third person's POV
"What the fuck!" shouted Richie at his brother.
He just caught Bella in time before she could hit the floor pissed to fuck that Seth had just for no reason pistol whipped his girl across the face.
"Are you nuts?" he asked him.
"Am I nuts? I think the question should be are you out of your fucking mind? A law enforcements daughter? Really? Did you even know about this?" Seth asked him.
"Yes, but only after we left the motel" Richie assured him.
"And you didn't even think that I would want to know this minor detail?" Seth argued.
"What does it matter anyway? She's the spouse of a cop, so what?" Richie argued back.
"The second we cross the line she along with her little buddies over there are gone" Seth decreed.
"What do you mean gone?" Richie asked eyebrows furred.
"I mean we dump them. Where? I don't care but they're not staying with us" Seth said.
"No! I told you god damn it she stays with me!" Richie snapped.
This was bullshit! He wouldn't let his brother take away the only true piece of perfection he had only just found.
"Richie you don't even know her okay? She's a nobody to you" Seth said.
"Guys" spoke Jacob trying to intervene but failing miserably.
"It didn't stop you with Vanessa did it? It only took five minutes for you to marry that bitch after she gave you a blow job, though we both know that the only she stayed was because none else would pay out for what she had going" Richie scorned his brother.
"Richie" spoke Seth.
"What!" Richie shouted.
And just like that Seth threw out his fist nailing his brother right between the eyes causing Richie to fall backward with Bella still in his arms as the unconscious pair now lay sprawled out on the floor.
Author's Note: Seth's snapped under pressure but he best watch his back because his actions won't be taken lightly.
