Chapter V : Distressed

Bella flinched, watching with an aching feeling in her chest as she watched Venus practically leap from her seat and scurry off out of the class. Did she annoy her? Possibly smell weird? Bella didn't know, but the very aura that Bella felt around Venus disappeared in a heartbeat. It was almost disturbing, Bella thought, that she already craved to be next to Venus once again. Catching her thoughts, Bella shook her head hastily, a deep blush dusting her cheeks as she collected her equipment and scurried off out the class.

She felt so much like her, looked so much like her, acted so much like her. I couldn't handle it, I almost bursted out, my emotions were circling me like a tidal wave. Bella, Bella, Bella...I wanted to hurt her, but the thought of seeing her in pain bought an ache to my heart. I don't know what to do, so I hastily moved through the halls, pushing past the others to Student Services, desperately keeping my thoughts off the new girl. The new girl who I felt as if I knew my whole life. I had barely reached my destination before I felt a cold marble hand grab my arm. Whipping my head around, I found Vanessa looking up at me blankly. "Meeting at the Cullens." She informed, and somehow, that small bit of information screwed me over more than I would have liked. I inhaled sharply, nodding my head as she let me go, a strange look in her amber golden eyes as she continued to look at me. "Trust in time." She walked away after that, confusing me. Trust in time? I have all the time in the world, what more did I need? I hadn't realised, but I had been starring so long after she had left that Sasha had apparently pulled me out of the hallways and down to the cars.

"I almost killed her." Edward stated grimly, frowning as he bit his nail. I looked towards him, able to understand what he meant. He found his blood-singer, like me, and in them, our mates. That wasn't what we had expected, but it was what happened. Now, as we both stood against the doorframe, a bit away from our own two respective covens, we realised the severity our situation. Rosalie was standing next to the couch Emmet made himself comfortable in, Alice and Jasper standing next the bookshelves, both silent as they watched on, behind Carlisle and Esme who held each other gently. Sasha stood next to the door of the balcony with Victor, hand in hand whilst Melanie was fuming in her seat on Daniel's lap, Vanessa hugging her knees to her chest on the ground with Elliot behind on the couch. They all had their own mates, yet Edward and I stood by ourselves. How selfish.
"A human!" Rosalie snarled, glaring more at Edward than I, Melanie seemingly to have taken to glaring at me. "Humans are a danger to us, and now you're interacting with them?" Melanie cursed, her hair swaying in ringlets like tentacles, pointing out her rage. I switched my attention to Sasha and Carlisle, the two leaders of our covens. Sasha looked...well, happy, the opposite to everyone else as she bounced on the balls of her heels. Carlisle appeared more serious, thinking deeply. Edward sighed, looking down and shaking his head. "Me and V will go hunting for a week." I jolted my attention to him, frowning in confusion as I stepped back, crossing my arms. "What do you mean, we?" I asked in an accusing tone. Edward looked at me, almost apologetically, as he shook his head. "They're our blood-singers, V. We need to hunt to control ourselves." He stated, although sounded as if he too didn't entirely agree to this. I bit my lip, glaring at the floor. "She is not my mate..." I murmured, my eyes glossing over in venom. "Yes she is, she's your mate and a human! That's the problem!" Melanie exclaimed, pushing herself up to stand as she glared down at me. It wasn't my fault, but it triggered me.
I looked up at her, glaring straight back at her. She flinched but held her ground. "You don't get to talk about mates when everyone else here has a mate but Edward and I, and I've already lost my true mate to the Volturi! So don't talk to me about Mates, Melanie, I'm practically surrounded by them!" I growled, turning on my heel to leave.
