A/N Okay people, first hello, secondly here I bring the next chapter. In this chapter we have the first Bella-Edward interaction. When you're done tell me if it was what you expected.
Chapter 3- Face to Face
After I had basically accepted to be part of them, all left the room and left me alone. My guards went off to find my mentor, and Charlie and Carlisle left to file my report and add me to their drives. I got up and walked to one of the corner's where they had a table with water bottles, now that I'm one of them they wouldn't mind that I took one. Then I heard voices outside of the room.
"Again Edward?" I heard Alice say.
"What? She was only holding me back, it was the best for the both us." I heard a deep voice say.
"You know they want you to have a partner, and they're going to get you one. One you can't get rid of." Rosalie answered.
"Oh please, I'm too good. I haven't met a woman who won't fall for my charms...you two don't count because I'm related to both of you." Answered the voice.
"Oh yeah, then let's have him meet his new partner." Emmett teased.
"What another one? Already? Jeez they just don't give up do they?" Sighed the man. The door opened and in stepped my guards and a new person. I straightened myself, ready for the usual inspection I got around here.
In walked 5 people; Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper, all whom I already met, but the fifth was the new one. He was tall and walked with a step that suggested control and leadership. I turned so that I was facing all of them, face to face. He stopped near the table and surveyed me. I took him in as well and it was hard not to swoon at the sight before me. I had seen handsome guys before, I had met hot guys before, but never in my life did I dream of an Adonis walking the Earth. He was about the same height of Emmett, his body toned, not huge nor small, just strong. His face was a mask of seriousness and dubiousness, but it looked like it was carved from stone. Every aspect of him was perfect, from his jaw line to his cheek bones, this guy screamed seduction. His eyes looked me over, and I straightened even more, my eyes found his looking directly into mine and I stopped breathing for a second. I had seen green eyes before, but never like his. They were big emerald stones, hard like the jewel, beautiful, and regal. I looked into his eyes and I had a hard time reading what they were saying. Our eye contact continued on for minutes, as if we were in a staring contest, daring the other to look away first. I held my ground as did he, nobody moved, nobody spoke, I could only hear my breathing; nice and steady.
"Edward Cullen meet Isabella Swan, your new partner." Spoke Carlisle behind him. That seemed to break us from our silent contest.
"Swan?" He asked confused, still not looking away from me.
"Yes it would seem that I have a daughter." Charlie said stepping in to the conversation. I tried not to feel hurt at how he treats me like a business proposition gone wrong.
"But that's impossible!" He said turning to look at the two leaders.
"No it's not, and it's happening. Edward we want you to train her in under one month to join your team." Carlisle said calmly not batting an eyelash.
"His team?" I asked unbelieving. Obviously this guy is going to have problems with me, and I won't take none of his crap, so this was very bad.
"Yeah my team? Why can't you put her in Jacob's division?" He argued with them. "And why do I have to train her, for all we know she's a spy for the Donovan clan! Have you interrogated her thoroughly? Tested her? Checked her? She's lying! You can't possibly believe her!" He started shouting.
"Woah, woah. Hold up one second, last time I checked you got here 5 minutes ago. So you have no right to question me. And I am not happy about this either!" I said defending myself from this jerk. I turned to look at my father and Carlisle, "Isn't there someone else that can train me? Jasper looks up to the job." I said crossing my arms and glaring at this so-called Edward.
"I'm sorry Bella, but given the circumstances we need to get you mission ready in the least time possible, and for that to happen you need to at the hands of our best. No offense to agent Whitlock." Charlie answered. Jasper nodded, not offended in his words. Carlisle turned to Edward, "Edward you are the only one capable of doing this and she is under your charge." He instructed.
"That-That spy! Your putting the useless little girl to be my partner?! Do you know how long it takes to become a field agent?! She could never pull it off in a month." He said pointing at me and looking at me like I was a little field mouse. I felt the blood rush to my face in anger.
"You-" I started speaking stepping forward to him but stopped when he took out his gun and pointed it at me.
"Don't you dare move! You may have fooled them but you're not going to fool me. I know what you are." He shouted glaring at me. I glared back but didn't move.
"Edward! She is the daughter of a high officer, and an agent in training! You will treat her as that, lower your gun!" Carlisle ordered him. Edward remained unwavered.
"I will not work with her! I refuse to have her on my division and I refuse to accept her as my partner!" He shouted his gaze never leaving my face, and mine never leaving his gun.
"You have no choice, you must follow orders. Besides partner was a wrong word of choice, you will only be her trainer for this month. We just need her to have enough training, so she can be a tech with Ben, now stand down!" Carlisle again ordered with more force.
Edward slowly lowered his gun and put it back in his holster. His hands were trembling with anger. "I don't want to work with her. What if she's a spy?" He stated in a low voice, it trembled as he tried to control himself.
"For god's sake!" I exploded. "A spy to who? My dead grandmother? I didn't even know that this existed til a couple of hours ago! I didn't even know I wasn't an orphan til four days ago! How the heck am I supposed to be a spy in less than four days when your saying it's impossible to do it in a month!" I shouted at him, my temper rising as well.
"A spy to who? A spy to who? To your mother! You may be the daughter of Charlie Swan," this time he positioned himself so he was looking at me but his body was open to the rest of the people in the room, "but let's not forget that she is also the daughter of Renée Dwyer! The woman who betrayed this agency! The woman betrayed all of us! The woman who killed my parents!" He shouted at me.
The news hit me in the chest, knocking the air of me. My mouth was open and I struggled to breathe. "See? She's so shocked somebody would actually figure it out, she doesn't know what to say! She's nothing but a liar," He shouted at everyone in the room and tears built up in my eyes. My mother was a murderer? A traitor?
"A pathetic," he kept saying.
"Edward stop." Rosalie cut in.
"Idiotic,"
"Edward enough you don't know what you're talking about." Alice said urgently.
"Stupid spy, who got caught. I bet your traitor of a mother is really disappointed in you right now." He finished and glared at me.
"Dude enough!" Emmett shouted at him. Edward turned to look at the people who kept interrupting him. I took it as my chance. I stomped over to him, and he knew I was approaching. Because as soon as I was close enough, he turned and faced me, ready to attack. I raised my left hand in a fist, and he assumed I was going to punch him, so his hand flew to my wrist. Before he knew it, my hand flew through the air and across his face, a red mark left where I had slapped him. He was stunned and I took the chance to yank back my arm.
"Listen to me very carefully. I may be inexperienced and unsuited to do these kind of things, but I am not an idiot nor a spy. Especially not to a mother who is dead!" I shouted at him. He slowly turned his face and looked me straight in the eye. "Think what you want of me, I don't care, but don't you ever talk to me about my mother. EVER!" I was shaking in place, trying to hold myself back, knowing that if I attacked this guy would tear me to pieces without hesitation. "You may not think that I have it in me. But I will prove you wrong, I will exceed in training and be more than a simple tech." I said in a dangerously low voice.
"You'll be lucky enough to even survive." He said, his tone matching mine. "Carlisle, what happens if she doesn't make it through training?" He asked him, without looking at him.
"If she were to give up...then we would have to follow protocol." He sighed. A small smile spread on Edward's lips, his perfect evil lips.
"Fine. I'll train her. On one condition." He said smile and eyes never wavering.
"What is it?" Charlie asked.
"When she fails, I want to be her executioner." He stated.
"Edward-" Alice started to scold him.
"No." I interrupted her. "Let him. Give him what he wants." I said glaring at him. I wasn't going to back down now, I would go all the way and further.
"Fine. As you wish." Charlie relented.
"You might as well enjoy tonight, because starting tomorrow I will show you hell." He growled at me.
"I'm already there, with the devil himself." I said through gritted teeth.
"Tomorrow morning, 5 a.m, in the gym. Be there or die." He said stepping closer to me. "You might actually wish that you died." He whispered into my ear and shoved passed me to the door at the other end.
I looked around the room, every one was staring at me with concerned expressions. I blinked away the tears and calmed myself down. They all looked at each other then back at me. "What?" I asked trying to get them to stop looking at me like I just died, training hadn't even started yet.
"You just signed your death wish." Alice whispered with wide eyes.
I rolled my eyes, "I haven't died, and as long as I have a pulsing heart, and working lungs, I will not stop." I said my expression hardening.
"No one has ever landed a blow on Edward before." Rosalie whispered shocked.
"Well it's about time somebody did, maybe that'll knock off, Mr. High and Mighty, from his pedestal." I huffed crossing my arms. I still felt furious, and I probably would be for some time. But that and my pride would keep me going.
I couldn't- I wouldn't fail.
A/N Woah intense, right? Totally not the average lovey dovey stuff. But...we'll see won't we. Well that's if Bella makes it, as things are the odds are not in her favor. See ya next time! Ciao.
