AN: Hey fellow readers I know I haven't written in a very long time and I apologize, I didn't know how to start this chapter so I kept thinking so now I finally post it. I hope you like it.
Chapter 3
Bella/Izzy POV:
Ah... I let out a screamed as I woke from my dream; tears falling from my face hitting the sheets of the bed one by one. I squeezed my eyes to rid of the images from the dream. It felt so real like I was back there when she would torture me, taunt me and when she let the newborns feed on me, it made my skin crawl. I still recall the nomads and how they used me for their sweet pleasure. I quickly made myself remember that, that was the past and I was living the present.
I took a deep breath and got out of bed I could feel my muscles tense up ready for an attack but it never came as usual; this would always happen when I first got out of bed it was always a reflex that never went away it was like my body's mind never healed/left from the past. I walked to the kitchen and started to make my self a cup of coffee as the machine turned on I went back in the room and grab my towel and bag of toiletries and walked in the bathroom to begin the refreshing routine. I let out a sigh as the flowing water hit me it was so relaxing.
Beep... Beep, Beep I could here from the shower that the coffee was almost done; I turned off the water and wrapped the towel around me I stepped out of the shower carefully and finished what I had do left and made sure I put my eye drops on . By the time I stepped out of the bathroom I felt refreshed; I stepped back into my room and I put on a pair skinny jeans and a nice white cotton long sleeve shirt, and my converts on, I then wrapped a ribbon across my neck., I left my hair loose.
Finally I walked into the kitchen, grabbed a mug and poured myself a cup of coffee with some sugar. As I sat down on the couch I relaxed a little bit; I took a sip from my coffee and moaned as the warmness slid down my throat I then set it down on the small coffee table and took a bite of my Dragon fruit (AN: That fruit actually exist) I licked my lips as I tasted the juice of the fruit.
It was all I eat since everything change, I couldn't eat anything else but fruit it seemed that my body didn't accept anything else. The reason why I think is because during the time when I was held capture all I was fed was fruit and nothing else and so my body adapted to that. I remember when I had my first real meal I was revolted, as soon I had my first chew I spit it out, it tasted hallow and disgusting; and the aftermath wasn't pretty I had spent a couple of minutes in the bathroom throwing up. I turned on the TV to see another argument between that vampire spokeswoman Nan Flannigan and that Bias spokesman leader from that nutty group of his... LOL. All of sudden I remember that vampire I meet from work yesterday; what was his name again; oh Stan that was his name I can't believe I almost forgot. Stan seemed very nice it was very weird when I meet him I felt like I could trust him with anything and he wouldn't ever hurt me he seemed like a big brother I wished I had... I couldn't believe what happen yesterday the way everyone treated him it was disdainful he wasn't even bothering them, I really hope nothing like what happened yesterday happens tonight if he shows up.
As I began to tune back in to see the argument, my lips twitch into a small smile it seemed as if the spokeswoman Nan wanted to rip nutty Newlin head off but couldn't due to being on air. Pick up the phone, pick up the phone , I heard my I-phone sing and rushed to pick it up before it went to voice mail.
"Hello"
"Hey Izzy its me Jerry sorry for calling you so early but I was wondering if you can come to work early cause one of the girls is home sick?" Jerry spoke.
"Oh hey Jerry, um it's okay I don't mind coming early to work, I'll be there soon!"
"Okay thanks, see you soon"
I heard the click signaling he had hang up I then snuffed my I- phone into my pocket. After that I headed towards my room and put my work clothes in a bag and slide on my small leather jacket and slid the eye drops in the front pockets. I rushed towards the door and snatched my helmet and keys then locked the door behind me. I walked towards where my motorcycle was parked and got on it, I put my helmet on and put the engine; I could hear it roar to life and then I was off.
Stan POV:
I stood there staring into the night where she had just drove off and I In a blink disappeared into the night back to the nest. While I was speeding off into the night I started rethink about the human Izzy. She was different from all the other disgusting humans and when I first look into her eyes it made me feel like I should hide her from the world keep her safe and never leave her alone, she was like a baby sister to me I would make sure I see her tomorrow night.
It was then when I realized I had gotten lost in my thoughts because I was now in front of Godric house.
"Stan what are you doing just standing there, come in." I heard Isabel's voice call out from inside. I let out a laugh and went right in and spotted Isabel pacing around and Godric just staring off into space and sipping one of those disdainful synthetic True bloods. "Good evening sheriff, Isabel" I greeted. Isabel look at me funny and glared at me and then said, "you seem very happy Stan, who did you kill and what did they do to you" I look at Isabel and laughed once more and then Godric shot me a curios look; I said, " You have it all wrong Isabel I didn't kill anyone but I meet someone today she was very interesting." I could hear Godric and Isabel pause in what their doing and look at me strangely as if I was some stranger and both at the same time asked, " You what, Stan?"
"I went to this grill/bar and I meet a human she was very different from the other disgusting humans she even defended me from some humans when they were starting with me" I stated.
"Wow this is the first time we here you compliment a human Stan" Isabel stated
As I was about say something someone cam rushing in "Sheriff, Sheriff...' the vampire came in actually breathless. Godric acknowledge the vampire and asked, "Underling what is wrong?
The underling look at Godric and said, "Sheriff there's been attack by the fellowship and some other humans, three young vampires from the area were found almost completely brutalized, even half way drained of their blood and some humans were found killed. Sheriff it's all over the news, but their saying they don't know who committed it! I and Isabel let out a hiss as we listen to him, I look at Godric to notice he had a unknown expression but it had disappeared to quickly for me to understand it. Godric spoke once more and said, "Underling thank you for telling me, make sure the vampires are treated, I'll fix this but for now seek rest soon, because the sun will be rising up soon." The underling nodded and left , I look at Godric and said, "Godric we have to do something those Newlin's need to be killed and his damn followers I don't know why we let him live all he does is discriminate against us, and plus their just cattle, blood bags... That is enough Stan have you not learned from all these years we can not answer violence with violence, Godric interrupted me with a small glared. I looked at him and then said, "Yes Sheriff but we have to stop this." Godric looked at me and said, " I know Stan things will change soon but for now go seek rest, you too Isabel." When Godric finished I looked at him, I didn't understand the way he said it seemed strange but I must be imagining things, so I said goodnight to Isabel and Godric and soon went into my daytime rest.
Bella/Izzy POV:
Tingles ran through me as the wind rushed passed by me as I went faster on my motorcycle. I always loved the adrenaline rush it gave me and the feeling, I couldn't even describe it. Some even stare at me in shock when I tell them I like the speed. It took me two minutes to get to my work place, I put my bike at rest and took the keys and started to walk to the entrance the sun was still up in the sky slightly dimming.
I walked in and was met with Ally and Samantha running around trying to take orders; it seemed there was a big house today. Samantha paused and look at me and said, "Finally, you're here I thought I was going to become death with all these orders being screamed in my ears!" I smirked when Samantha said this, she was the type that you would describe as the drama queen but also I little clownish. I nodded at her and rushed towards the back were I changed into my work clothes; when I walked backed out I began to take orders, some costumers were new some were old. Conversations were going on everywhere some weir about the game yesterday, the weather, new movies coming out, etc. Before I knew it, it was my turn to take the bar shift so I finished my last orders and stood behind the counter where as of late was getting more attention than the food. Through out the past ten minutes I had made three nutcracker's, two nemos , hot shots and a brain jumble(AN; just made brain jumble up, in my mind it's a very strong drink that in one shot your already twisted )
I looked up at the clock to see that it was 3:30, half the costumers were leaving and even more were coming through the door, I let out sigh as tonight was going to be a long night. "Hey Izzy, thanks for coming in early" I heard a voice called behind me which I recognized as Jerry's voice, I turned around and said hi to him, and that it was no problem, I continued my worked after that. I did a couple more drinks before I switch with Samantha and did a couple of rounds of orders. Soon I began to feel my eyes water and sting so I rushed to the bathe room and splashed water into my eyes, I felt my legs wobble so I gripped the sink with firm hands, and closed my eyes and massage my temples. I took out my drops and put an extra 3 drop on both of my eyes and closed my eyes once more before taking deep breaths, I splashed water in my face once more before I left the bathroom. On my way back out I took a bottle of water and took a sip, as I was walking back out Jerry passed me but paused in concern and asked, "Izzy are you alright?" I replied, " I'm alright I just feel a little different right now" and Jerry again replied "why don't you take a break outside, I'll have someone take your shift right now, okay?" I thanked Jerry and went out the front for fresh air, it is there when I saw the sun going down reaching the horizon, and it was beautiful.
I remember the time when I saw a horizon just like this one but something seemed sad about it; it was the day before I was taken. I had been with Seth and Embry, they had called me over crying and telling me that all their friends had stop talking to them, and ignoring them, even Jacob who felt like a brother to them, they felt like they did something wrong. So I told them I would come down straight away and meet them at the beach. When I meet them I hugged them instantly and felt them shake in my hold. After a few minutes we had started walking on the sand just chatting and later on Seth pointed to the ocean and said, " Hey, look at that!" Embry and I looked to where he was pointing and couldn't contain our surprise at what we saw; the sun was reaching the end. We stood there until there was no sparks of the sun left and it brought a chill of forbidden down my spine. Embry and Seth hugged me and whispered if I was okay? I looked at both of them and told them the truth, "I don't know Seth, Embry it's just something feels wrong and it's making me feel nervous!" Both Seth and Embry hugged me tighter and whispered that every thing was going to be okay. However it did nothing to calm me.
I could feel a tear roll down my face, and quickly rid that memory from my mind. Suddenly I felt peace come over me so I looked around to see if anyone was there and to my surprise Stan had appeared, he smiled at me and tilted his hat in greeting and said, "Hello again Mam!" I felt the sides of my mouth twitch at this; I could hear his real deep Southern accent when he said this. I looked at him and replied, "Hello to you to Mr. Stan, I really didn't think you were coming again due to what happen yesterday , and I do apologized about what happen."
Stan look at me and gave out a small laugh, "You are very kind, also how strange of you to apologize of something you never did, and please just call me Stan, Mam." I looked at Stan in the eyes and could tell he was being honest, I replied, "Oh Mr... I mean Stan I don't mind however I'll continue to call you Stan only if you call me Izzy" Stan looked at me and replied, "Alright Izzy you have a deal, you know Izzy you are the first actual human to make me laugh." I look at Stan and smirked at him and said, "Oh my, if that is so true then I will try to make you laugh more Stan!" I could feel Stan eye me with curiosity and then Stan was in front of me in blink of an eye, I suppose I should have jump back with fear, become tense, or should have been startled but it seemed my body didn't react as it usually would have I just felt calm and serene. A minute had passed and Stan had finally spoke again and said, "Izzy it seemed I stand corrected you really are different from the humans, you don't feel repulse by me, you don't feel afraid of me you don't feel nothing negative to me, why, why is that?" I looked at Stan with a nervous face and said, "I don't feel repulse by you Stan because I'm not like the others I don't judge people, I wouldn't hate you just because you're dead, and I don't feel afraid because… I… it's hard to explain but I feel at peace with you like, I just can't explain it!"
All of a sudden I felt Stan's arms around me and I let out a sigh and leaned in, Stan whispered in my ear, "It's all right Izzy you don't have to explain I understand what you mean, I feel different with you I feel at peace but also I feel happy when I'm with you, this might be strange but I feel protective of you like a brother would a sister, I… I… I have this emotion to you but only brotherly to you. I know we have only just met yesterday but I feel really strongly of this but will you allow me to declare you as my sister, part of my family so that any other vampire that you come across or they come across you they will know that you are under my protection." I looked at Stan and I knew my answer but I knew I had to tell him my past before anything happen so I said, "I accept Stan but I think you should know my past before you do anything, I don't think you would want to see again and you might feel disgust to me after I tell you my past, my story" I lowered my head and then felt Stan tighten his arms around me and then he spoke, " Izzy nothing, and I mean nothing will make me not want to see you and I'll never feel disgust to you, and before you tell me your story I'll to you mine." I looked up at Stan and hugged him, and I said, "Okay Stan lets do this tonight so we can get it over with, so hold on second so I can check out with my boss." I kissed Stan cheeks and ran back inside.
"Hey Izzy are you alright now, you gave me quite a scare back there?"
I looked at Jerry and smiled a little and said, "I'm okay Jerry thanks for asking though, um going to call quits for tonight if that's all right with you?" Jerry looked at me and let out a small chuckle and said, "Alright Izzy just make sure you come in early Monday morning." I thanked Jerry and walked to the backroom and changed back into my skinny jeans and my white cotton long sleeve and I retied the ribbon across my neck, and then put my eye drops on. I walk back out and said goodnight to everyone and then proceeded to go outside where Stan was leaning on my motorcycle with a grin. I rose an eyebrow at him in question and he said, "Um, I thought I should be bring your motorcycle over here so that you didn't have to walk all the way over there, so… um here it is!" I let out a small chuckle and walked on over and got on my motorcycle I then grabbed an extra helmet and tossed it over to Stan who gave me a confused look so I patted the space behind me then a look of recognition passed his face and he got on behind me. Stan got on behind me and then asked, "Where are we going to go Izzy?" I looked to Stan and said, "When I first got here I learned about a magnificent garden they say when your there you feel at peace it feels like magic; I know it sounds ridicules but they say you have to go there to know that it's true, and I have a nagging feeling that we should go there." Stan did not hesitate to answer and said, "So what are we waiting for lets go!" and with that they drove off.
"Welcome To the Garden of Tranquility"
