Hey guys, so here is chapter 8. It's had death and lemons in it so if these topics aren't your thing I'd skip this chapter. I will try my best to update tomorrow but might not :( Lastly, HAPPY CHRISTMAS everyone!
I could feel my heart rate pick up and my breathing become shallow.
"You found a body?" I stuttered. Edward had his head in his hands. I could see he was struggling with this but trying to hide it from me.
"Yes, we had to go back into the Unknown after news of trouble. On our way back we stumbled across a body," he said looking down at the ground. We were quiet for a few minutes. I was trying to wrap my head around it.
"Do you know who it was that you found?" I asked in a shaky voice.
"No, I don't know who it is. We believe he is a student here," he said while putting an arm around me.
"What happened? How did he get there?" I asked while snuggling into his side.
"We aren't sure how he died or how he ended up in the Unknown. Right now we can only guess as to what happened," he said in an intense tone.
"What do you think happened to him?" I asked looking up at him. He ran a hand through his hair.
"I have no idea how he got into the Unknown, but however he got there, I don't think it was voluntarily." he said with a far away look on his face. I could see the wheels turning in his head trying to figure out what happened.
"He was lying lifelessly near a stream. He had his arms and legs spread out and a circle was dug around him in the ground. At first we thought it was a vampire attack. He was so pale and his body started to turn blue. It looked like he was drained of all his blood. From afar it looked like a vampire drunk him dry." he said in a dark tone. I could tell what they found on closer inspection was a lot worse then a vampire attack not that I had any idea what a vampire attack looks like. I want to know more about vampire's in the Unknown, but I stopped myself from asking and focused instead on the poor guy who is now dead.
"I take it that it wasn't a vampire attack?" I asked holding onto him a little tighter.
"No. When we examined the body we couldn't find any blood or puncture wounds," he said while wrapping his arms around me.
"What did you find?" I asked in a shaky tone.
"His eyes were completely white and open and he had some sort of lines of coal marked on his face and hands. We opened his shirt in hopes of finding out how he died. He had a symbol drawn on his chest." he said and swallowed hard.
"What symbol was on his chest? Do you know what it means?" I asked as I felt a shiver go up my spine.
"The symbol was carved into his chest with a knife or something sharp while he must still have been alive. The symbol was a circle with a capital A in the middle and another line that went straight through the A and touched the edges of the circle. It is the symbol used in some of the most notorious dark magic clans." he said as he tightened his arms around me.
My breathing was coming out in gasps and my eyes stung with unshed tears. I know that symbol. It was the symbol painted on my parents foreheads the night of their murder. My heart felt like it was ripping in two again. I clung to Edward and let the tears fall. He just kept holding me and stroking my back in a comforting way while giving me a kiss on my head. I'm sure he was so confused about my reaction, but he didn't question it he just held me. At that moment, I was so grateful to have him. After a while, I calmed down enough to talk. I wiped my eyes and looked at him. All I found in his face was concern, there was no judgment. I took a deep breath and decided I need to tell him about my parent's deaths.
"When I was fifteen my parents were brutally murdered. I was out with Emmett having fun and laughing. He walked me home that night and the closer we got to my house the more agitated I felt. I had a fight with my parents earlier that day and ran away to Emmett to calm down and vent about how stupid they were being. I called out to them as I got into the house. I wanted to apologize to them." I sobbed into Edward's chest as I relived that night.
"I called out to them again but still no answer. I walked into the living room and my heart stopped." I said through my tears. Even after nearly four years it was still painfully hard to talk about their deaths.
"They laid on the floor. They were covered in blood. Someone had slit both their throats. I screamed and Emmett came running in. I knelt down to them and started sobbing uncontrollably. We heard someone in the kitchen move. Emmett dragged me out of the house and we ran, afraid that whoever killed them was still in the kitchen." I sobbed while Edward held me tightly.
"They still haven't caught the killer," I said as I started to calm down. I moved out of Edwards embrace and looked him in the eyes.
"Edward, whoever killed them that night, drew the same symbol on their heads in blood that you found on the dead boy in the Unknown," I said in an uneasy tone. Maybe Edward could help me piece together what happened that night. I never thought magic had anything to do with my parents death.
"Bella, I'm sorry about what happened to your parents. No one deserves the pain of finding their parents dead," he said and kissed my head. The fact that he said my parents were dead and not murdered stuck with me. I was going to ask but figured I was just being overly sensitive.
"What else do you know about that symbol Edward?" I asked.
"Not too much Bella. Like I said it is the symbol that witches who practice dark magic use. They symbol is used in rituals, sacrifices, warnings and some wear it to show honor." he said while looking away from me.
"What do you mean by rituals and sacrifices?" I asked wondering if that had something to do with my parents.
"They have rituals to preserve power and a lot of other things. Our knowledge of their rituals is limited for obvious reasons. Their sacrifices are what makes them truly dark and evil. They would sacrifice witches and draw power from them. Some of the overly dedicated dark witches sacrifice themselves as and offering to the leader, to give or pass on power. Some sacrifice themselves as a message, usually a warning." he said in a puzzling tone.
I need to know more about these sacrifices. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I'm not going to like what I find. From what Edward has told me there is clearly a lot more to the death of my parents then I would ever have imagined. I wonder if I can get books on dark magic in the library or if that is protected by the forbidden section.
"Edward is there books I can read about black magic?" I asked.
"Most books on black magic are in the forbidden section. I have a book on it I can lend you, but Bella you need to keep this between us. Students aren't suppose to know about this yet." he said as he started standing up.
He extended me his hand and I took it and let him help me up.
"We need to get going. Our lectures will be starting soon," he said as he started walking back towards the main building. We were half way back when I pulled on his arm to get him to stop. There was a big oak tree near us. I pulled him over to the tree so that we could get a bit of privacy as student's would be everywhere near the main building.
"Bella, what are you doing?" he asked looking confused.
"We are trying to keep this a secret remember. Which means that we can't be strolling hand in hand into the main building without attracting some major attention." I said while looking up at those piercing green eyes that make my insides melt.
"As you wish. Since I'm not allowed near you while we are in the main building then you better have dinner with me tonight," he said as he leaned down to give me a peck on the lips.
"I look forward to it. Meet me at the fountain at 8?" I asked giving him a peck back.
"Can't wait and wear a dress," he said as he pushed me against the tree. I thought he would kiss my lips but instead he attached his lips to my throat. He lifted one of my legs over his waist and peppered kisses down my throat moving onto my shoulders. I wrapped a hand in his hair and used the other one to stroke his back. I could feel the muscles through his shirt, he felt so good. He moved his hand up my thigh to my ass and then grabbed it roughly, pulling me against his erection. I let out a throaty moan.
He crashed his lips against mine and swiped his tongue across my lower lips and I opened my mouth for him. He immediately took the invite and stroked my tongue with his. After a few minutes, the kiss became more hungry and urgent. It was like our lips and tongues were battling each other. It felt so fucking good. He moved his other hand to my breast and massaged it while his other hand was still on my ass pulling me against his rock hard cock. We were so lost in our kiss that it wasn't until my phone started ringing the third time that I heard it. I reluctantly pulled away from Edward to check my phone. Alice was calling me. I gave Edward an apologetic look and answered my phone.
"Hey Alice, what's up?" I asked out of breath.
"Bella where are you?! Our biology lecture starts in 5 minutes," she asked in a worried tone. Shit, I'm going to have to run to make it in time.
"I'm on my way Alice. Save me a seat ok." I said as I hung up. I turned to Edward gave him a kiss and a quick goodbye and ran to my lecture. I really wish I could stay and make out some more with Edward...maybe loose our clothes and make out naked.
Before I could think anymore about all the dirty things I want to do to Edward I made it to my biology lecture just in time. I saw Alice wave at me and I made my way over to her completely out of breath. I gave her a quick hug and sat down as pervert Banner walked in. Biology flew by and before I knew it the lecture was over. Even though, Banner is a clear pervert, he did know his stuff and was ultimately a great biology lecturer. I could tell I was going to love this class. I was always interested in biology. It was my favorite subject in school. I turned to Alice at the end of the lecture and could see she loved it just as much as me. Alice and I went to get coffee in Billy's after the lecture ended.
After we grabbed our coffees and muffins we sat at our usual table. I finally managed to check my phone. I had one unread text from Edward. I couldn't stop the smile spread across my face. I quickly open it.
It's very cruel to leave a man hard and horny Bella. Tsk tsk you're such a bad girl.
I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Edward's hard cock. I wonder how it looked and how it would taste in my mouth or how good it would feel pounding into me. Alice cleared her throat pulling me out of my fantasies. She motioned with her eyes for me to look over at the counter. Putting in a coffee order was none other than Edward and Jasper. I don't know who was drooling more; me or Alice. They grabbed their coffees and took a seat at the table across from us. Edward spotted me and gave me a sexy smirk.
I figured this would be an excellent time to play with him. I sent him a quick text.
It's mean to leave a girl so wet that she has to take her panties off.
I really did have to go to the bathroom to take my panties off. Our little makeout session completely drenched them. His expression, when he read the text, was priceless. I could see his breathing pick up and his eyes darkening. I got a reply very quickly.
Shit Bella, are you really telling me that you are sitting there with no panties on.
Oh, I wonder what he would do if I was sitting next to him right now. Would he feel and check to see if I wasn't wearing any panties?
Yes, Edward, I'm not wearing panties. They are currently stuffed safely in my pocket. Do you want to come check to see if I'm bare? You know how fond I am of your fingers ;)
I watched him bite his lip and move in his seat as he read my text. I really wish I was wearing panties, I really don't want to be walking around campus with wet shorts. I was vaguely aware that Alice was talking about our shopping trip. I just said 'yes' and 'cool' every other minute. I felt bad for, not listening to her, but I highly doubt she was over-invested in the conversation considering Jasper was sitting about ten feet from her.
Don't tempt me Bella. I swear I'll push you back against that wall and checked. Would you like that love? Does that make you wet Bella? Thinking of me pressing you against the wall while I drag my fingers over your wet pussy.
I had to bite my lip so hard to stop the moan from escaping. I looked over to the wall and remembered how good it felt to have him pressed against me. I couldn't stop myself from picturing how good it would feel to have him kiss me while he fingers my wet pussy against the wall. The fact that people would be able to see what was going on just made me wetter. Shit, I need to get laid, these fantasies were getting out of hand. I needed to go change my shorts and put on fresh underwear.
I got up and told Alice that I just needed to go grab something from my room and that I'll see her later. Edward gave me a confused look and stood up and walked out after me. He pulled on my arm so that I was facing him. The girl that was here with him and Rosalie yesterday yelled a hello at him as she was walking towards us. Without a word I grabbed my wet panties out of my pocket and shoved them into Edward's pocket and walked away.
I sprinted to my dorm room to go get changed. I ended up having to change my shorts as well. I grabbed a cardigan as I knew I was meeting Rosalie for coffee after my last lecture and by then it would be chilly. I looked at my schedule and realized that I had defense next. Fuck. I knew Edward would get me back for the panty stunt. I wonder if he could still feel how wet my panties were. I mean I only changed them after biology. Maybe he could still feel it. Would it turn him on? Would it make his cock hard? My phone beeped and broke me out of my thoughts. I smiled as I looked at the screen, I had a text from Edward.
You are in so much trouble! And I'm keeping your panties.
Oh, shit I really was in trouble, I wonder if he would spank me... I need to stop this line of thinking before I need to change my panties again. I grabbed my bag and headed for defense. I met up with Alice and Emmett outside the gym. When I saw Em I remembered my conversation with Rosalie last night. I need to talk to him about that. Maybe I can drop a few more hints to Rosalie later about him being interested in her. I still need his help with the whole Alice and Jasper thing. I wonder if he knew about Maria. We stood outside to catch up for a few minutes before we headed inside to go change.
Today I decided to wear my favorite yoga pants that make my ass look fabulous if I do say so myself. I wore a sports bra that gave my boobs a bit of a push upwards. I wore a black tank top that showed the perfect amount of cleavage. I'm already in trouble so I might as well tease Edward some more. Alice wore something similar to me and I have to admit that she looked hot. I don't think Jasper will be able to keep his eyes off her today.
"Damn Alice, you look great. If I swung that way I'd be all over you by now." I said to her and winked. We busted out laughing.
"You think so?" she asked while giving me a twirl so I can see the back too. Yup, Jasper will be drooling over her today.
"Oh, Alice you sneaky bitch. Jasper will be drooling all over you today." I said as we headed back into the gym giggling.
We headed towards Emmett who was trying to casually stare at Rosalie and failing miserably. Rosalie was standing with Edward and Jasper chatting away. When she noticed me she gave me a smile and a wave which I returned. This of course caused Edward and Jasper to look my way. Edward's eyes went wide and his jaw nearly drop to the floor. Yeah, I've got it. Jasper had a similar reaction only he was staring at Alice. I gave Edward an evil smirk and grabbed Alice's hand.
"Alice do you want to do some stretches to warm up?" I asked while giving her a wink.
"Yeah, sure Bella, I could really loosen up a bit." she smiled back at me.
Alice and I started stretching and bending making sure to give the guys got an eye full. When we bent over at the waist to touch our toes, our asses were in perfect view for them to admire. I think that was the last straw for them as Jasper suddenly screamed at the class to listen to him. Alice and I just gave each other knowing smirks. Something clearly changed her mind about going after Jasper and I was happy for her. It's about time she goes for what she wants and I'll be cheering her along.
"Ok guys, today we will do something similar to what we did on Monday. Today we will focus on attack tactics. So could everyone pair up, it can be with anyone you feel comfortable with today." he said and then went back to talking to Edward. Rosalie came over to us. I introduced her to everyone and her and Emmett stared at each other a bit longer then what was polite.
"So umm Jasper will be demonstrating with Edward today and that means I need a partner. You interested?" she asked looking at me but I knew she would much rather team up with Emmett.
"Sorry, I already teamed up with Alice. Why don't you and Emmett team up!" I said while pushing Emmett towards her.
"Yeah, I don't mind being your partner. That is if you wanted," he said shyly. He was so cute when he got shy.
"Sure that would be great," she said while smiling at him. They wondered off after that, finding a spot to practice.
"So how do you know Rosalie?" Alice asked as we moved to find a spot for ourselves.
"Oh, I met her yesterday. We had coffee and a chat. She is actually really nice. We are meeting up for coffee after class." I said as we settled into a spot. Before we could talk more Jasper called us to attention.
"Ok guys and girls today I will be demonstrating some basic attack tactics. Edwards here will help me with the demonstrations." Jasper said and had to stop as the girls started swooning. Sorry to disappoint bitches but that fine ass is mine tonight.
"Like I said Edward will be doing the demonstration with me. When we are done I want you guys to give it a try. We will be walking around to see how you are getting on and giving advice where needed."
They started their demonstration. I couldn't focus on the moves. All I could do was watch Edward move. He was like a panther, smooth and fast in his movements. Watching him attack Jasper so gracefully and effortlessly was giving me a lady boner. I wonder what he would look like in an actual fight. I wonder how he would look like if he had to fight me. Would he be rough and push me against a wall and maybe grab my hands and pinned them above my head so I can't defend myself against him... and he could start ripping off my shirt and attack my breast with his mouth and teeth. Shit Bella, focus on what they are teaching you! Stop thinking about Edward naked! By the time I snapped out of my naked Edward thoughts their demonstration was over. I looked over to Alice who wore the same confused expression I was. Guess she wasn't paying attention either. We are screwed. We looked around us and slowly started mimicking what the other students were doing. After a few minutes, I felt Edward come up behind me.
"You are in so much trouble Bella." he purred into my ear and pressed his erection against my ass to make his point.
Wonder how Edward will punish Bella... ;)
