I AM SO SORRY! OMG YOU SHOULD ALL LIKE HATE ME RIGHT NOW!!!!! I have not updated since 10/04/9 and that's like a freaking crime. Let me catch you up on what's going on right now…
Freshman year is way hard and high school is filled with a lot of drama that really fucked up my life.
Between studying, practicing guitar and trombone, finding time alone and hanging out with friends and my first ever boyfriend whom I've been dating since September, I never have had enough time to write
With stress induced insomnia and depression I've been focusing on my book, Mercenaries.
Okay, now the good stuff
My semester changed!
Boyfriend is grounded…
With the down time I have I'm going to get back into writing these stories.
It will not take me this long to write another chapter again. I will try my hardest to update, update, and update!!!!
And finally, I NEED REVIEWS TO KEEP WRITING! The thing is, when I don't get many reviews I loose that zap to write another chapter. Please tell me anything!!!
I have an idea for another story! (See Chapter 8) So more stories will be coming I sweeaar!
I needed to end on 11…so I'll answer a question. Someone reviewed me; I lost your name in my inbox, and asked if they could use a line from this story. It was with Alice and Jasper…"Jasper? What are you doing here? You're not my date." I growled playfully. "Sadly for you, no. I'm here for-" He was cut off when Alice squealed and ran to jump in his arms. "Yeah this." He said with a smile. You may gladly use this or any other lines so long as you just give a little credit at the end of a story.
So now I leave you with this chapter.
What happened last time:
"So?" I asked with a shrug before leaning against the wall. They turned to me with smiles on their pretty faces. "I like her. A lot. More than football. That's saying something." I sighed. Esme laughed as she intertwined her fingers with Carlisle's.
"She's so lovely Emmett. She's…perfect for you." Esme said with a smile. "You're like her personal Superman." She joked with a childish smile. Carlisle laughed.
"She's got a good head on her shoulders." He said with a smile.
"I love her already." Alice said smugly as she danced her way into the room, Jasper twirling her.
"She's…interesting. I suppose I like her." Jasper agreed. Jasper and I then started a game of x box and I found myself laughing and having more fun then I have ever had.
Above me when the game paused a faint whisper echoed throughout the house. It happened only once and it was so faint that I swear I wouldn't have been able to hear it if I didn't try.
"Emmett…" She whispered quietly.
Jasper laughed at my awestruck and melty form.
I ignored his laugh and just sat on the couch, listening as that one word echoed throughout my ears.
Bella POVMy eyes opened sometime later, when it was black in Emmett's large room. I listened with my puny human hearing and heard nothing. No talking, no television, and no video games. I stumbled out of the large useless bed and staggered to the hallway where I peaked in each room and found no one here. I walked down the glass like stairs and stopped in the black living room where I noticed the clock that read 9:55 PM.
It wasn't that late…and plus they don't sleep…so where did they go? Walking into the kitchen I found a note written in an elegant script that was Alice.
Hope You slept well Bella, we went hunting for a bit. Someone will be home to protect you soon. Please, whatever you do just stay in the house. Thanks.
~Alice
Hunting…I shuddered and wondered for a long moment why I couldn't go outside but figured that they must have their reasons. I have to trust them. I need to trust them now.
I flicked on more lights, so not to feel so alone and even turned on the TV on a soft music channel that immediately eased my nerves.
What to do now? Exploring the house a bit more I discovered a large grand piano that looked old and expensive, but in great condition. I ran my fingers lightly over the keys, smiling at the memory of playing the piano. (Bear with me.)
(Flashback)
"By baby doll! See you in a bit!" My mother had called as she left the house to me, a six year old. (Hey, this is my life. Being left alone anyway. Luv my mom though) She shut the door and I had watched her car drive off, waving sadly.
At this point we were living in an apartment, a decent one, but one nonetheless. She was going to an interview that night for a new job that would be flexible for a single mommy.
I was walking around my room and found my old, fully keyed, piano that my uncle had bought me. Beside it was a book that said, Piano for Beginners. I sat down and opened the book and slowly learned at least 5 notes that day. 5! Can ya believe it?
When my mom had come home, I dragged the piano to the living room and played her the 5 notes I knew, and she was stunned. From that day on, she helped me learn.
And music became my everything. Once I "mastered" piano at 11 I learned guitar. I stopped there. That was all I wanted to know.
And I promised myself that I would never forget any music.
(End of Flashback)
I smiled even more when I played a slow and quiet amazing grace without even hesitating.
I started adding chords to it and soon was sitting and enjoying my own loneliness the best way I could.
"You play from the heart, little one." I jumped up so quickly that I banged my leg off of the piano and spun around to see two beautiful figures standing there. The tall man looked at me creepily and smiled. "I did not wish to scare you but I had to say something for that…lovely performance." He and the girl took a step closer and it was then I noticed the blood red eyes. "My name is Peter. This is my love Charlotte. And I believe you are intruding in a good friend of mine's house."
Immediately the little survival instinct I had kicked in and my heart raced slightly.
"No you don't understand." I said back quickly, my voice louder than I had intended making the girl—Charlotte snap a quick look at me. I took a deep breath. "My name is Bella Swan. I'm friends with the Cullen's. Emmett in particular." Why stupid mouth, why? "They left while I was sleeping and Alice told me to wait inside till they arrive home." I tried naming as many as I could, just so they would understand I knew them.
"Uh huh." The girl sighed, picking at her nails making my mind momentarily picture Rosalie in her place. They both froze suddenly and slowly looked down, staring at my leg which I just realized was throbbing.
"My love do you smell that which makes me swoon?" The girl asked, a completely different tone and accent to her voice.
"That I do my dear. And it does smell so…watering." Only then did I feel the warm sticky liquid slide down my leg into my sock. In the time it took me to blink I was being held from behind, his arms wrapping in front of my torso and my arms trapped at my side. I felt the girl's icy cold hand wipe my neck, moving the brown hair to the side, exposing my neck completely to two ravenous vampires.
A tear fell down my face and I couldn't even find solace in the fact that the last thing in my head was the soft and gentle tune of Amazing Grace, with Emmett's face in my mind.
Likey Likey? Ani't done yet. Just gotta get back in the zone.
Emmett POV
I didn't understand why we had to leave Bella all alone in our house. I mean, we lived in the middle of nowhere. What if something happened to her? What if she fell and hurt herself and no one could hear her scream? More and more painful ideas swept into my head before Edward finally growled loudly.
"Emmett!" He hissed. "Would you just calm the hell down? She's fine okay?" I ignored him due to the scent of a mouthwatering grizzly a couple of feet away. Using my anger towards Edward and my worry for Bella, the bear was killed and emptied in a matter of seconds. A couple of minutes later we met up with the rest of the family, all who looked full and peppy. While we were running back however, Alice, Edward, and Jasper all gasped and stopped dead in their tracks.
"Bella…" Was all Alice had to whisper and I was running faster than I had ever ran before, Carlisle following seconds later. With every thought of Bella I could feel myself go faster.
I am close Bella. Hold on. Please…just hold on.
Alice POV
We were running home, Emmett and I both eager to see Bella since I already knew she'd wake up soon. My love was running at my side and Emmett was running partially ahead of us, a little more eager than me to see Bella.
All of sudden while I was running, the trees and nature around me seemed to fall into the ground and I was suddenly standing in our parlor room, next to Edward's piano. When everything stopped spinning and fell into place I saw my old friend Peter holding Bella from behind while Charlotte teased her a little.
"Bella!" I shouted, knowing it would only come out as a whisper back in the forest. Then the piano fell to the ground and Peter, Charlotte, and Bella disappeared while the walls turned back to trees and the floor became the grass and rock once again. When I finally came to Jasper was holding me off of the dirty ground while Edward looked in horror about what I saw and Esme looked ahead of us where I could just barely hear footsteps running incredibly fast.
"Run…" I whispered as tears that would never fall formed in my eyes.
Emmett POV
As I finally approached the house I couldn't have been more relieved to hear Bella's rapidly beating heart. That feeling of relief quickly turned to fear when I heard Bella's scream of terror just as I broke down the door. I didn't process who was holding Bella and just ran and grabbed them, threw them into the wall, and pushed the other one back, ripping snarls from my throat.
Carlisle came in then, growling and ready, before realizing that Bella was safe. Bella…
"Bella?" I whispered calmly as I crouched down to her level. Her eyes were unfocused and looking past me while her small frame shook violently.
And then it hit me. It hit me like I was human and got hit by four cement trucks at the same time. The smell of warm sweet liquid flooded my senses.
Oh it is such a sweet smell. Like a floral meadow with strawberries and fruits in the distance making my knees wobble with anticipation. Would it hurt that much just to lean down and lick a little? I could stop after that…I'm pretty sure. Just as my resolve was about to slip I felt two small arms try to fully wrap around me and the warmest thing press against my body.
Immediately I settled and carefully wound my large arms around her, feeling her body quiver and heard her cry. And then, just like that, I didn't care for her blood or her body, I just cared about being the only one who could protect her.
"Emmett! Please! It was just a lapse of control!" Peter begged as he backed away from me.
Almost as soon as Bella collapsed into me did she faint from relief—as Carlisle put it. Her fear was so high that all the adrenaline caused her to pass out when it left her body.
Once the blood was cleaned and Bella was put in my room, so Jasper wouldn't freak I came down stairs to an angry Carlisle yelling at his old friends Peter and Charlotte. Jasper was pissed at them as well. So here I am now, back Peter against a tree about to rip his limbs off for almost killing my Bella.
"A lapse of control that almost killed her! My Bella!" I growled, venom dripping from my voice. Jasper was so mad that he left and Edward followed to calm him down, seeming all too eager to leave the house. Charlotte was on the side pleading with Alice and Esme, since Rosalie didn't care and went to follow Edward.
Just as I grabbed Peter's arms, ready to rip them off, Charlotte screamed loudly.
"Wait wait wait!" And taking a deep breath and nearly all of my control I stopped and looked at her. "Peter it isn't worth all this pain. Just fucking tell him already." She begged.
"Tell me what?" I growled at him, his face inches from my own.
"Nothing…" He mumbled.
"TELL ME WHAT?" I shouted in his face making him cringe and try to cover his sensitive ears.
Then I felt a small hand touch my arm and I looked over, realizing it was Charlotte, pleading me with her eyes. I let go of Peter and she walked over and kissed him lightly before turning to me.
"It isn't just by chance we came up here." She started. "We were sent here. For the girl—I mean Bella."
"You have to understand, if we did this we would get the ultimate prize. Our lives for as long as we wanted." Peter cut in. I grabbed his arms again so tight he winced.
"Who. Sent. You?" I growled through my teeth.
"Why, it was Italy itself." The whole world stopped. "The Volturi. They know she knows. And they're angry."
