I woke up to the beautiful view of the mountains.
See, after the Halloween fund raiser, I needed to think without distractions so I left to a hidden cabin that I would always escape to after a con or when I needed to be alone. The only one who knew about this cabin was Moz, and even he didn't know the exact location of it.
It was now Friday again so that meant that I had been away for two weeks. I briefly wondered if this was something that other kids did but then I realized, I wasn't a normal kid. Over the week, I had been training myself with moving quieter and building up strength. Whenever I thought of Edward, I pushed myself harder to the point of exhaustion. I even started studying the movements of Tuna and Fish, copying their gracefulness and agility.
You could tell I had nothing better to do with my time. On Saturday, I found out I got a message from Moz.
"Bella! Where have you been? Oh wait, I already know. Well, Trina's been asking for you so I told her you were out but I have other news to tell you. Your home has been flooded with worried calls from teachers and students alike! Some of the students, the Cullens in particular have even gone as far as going to your house. There was this one particular fellow who practically stalked your house, had great hair for a stalker though. Very copper. Get it? Copper? Anywho, just call me back."
I quickly dialed Moz's phone and started pacing the living room floor.
"Yes ma'am?"
"Hey Moz, I got your message. People have been coming to my house?"
"Yeah, especially that one guy. He seemed really sad every time and paced near your house really worried-like. I'm surprised he hasn't worn a path by now."
"Why would he be there?" I asked forlorn. Hadn't Edward tried to avoid me like the plague on Halloween?
"He seemed to always mutter something and on one occasion, he even shouted sorry to one of the windows."
"He did? Wow. Wait, how did you know that?"
"I may or may not have hacked into your security system."
"I didn't put up a security system Moz."
"Ah, that was your first mistake. I took the liberty to do that when I first came down there. Feel free to thank me."
"Thanks Moz." I said sarcastically.
"Hey Tod, I know I'm the last person who would ever say this but, you owe those people an explanation. What made you run off like that?"
"Moz" I sighed "I was having a great time but I don't know. How could I ever do this to anyone? I'm no good for anyone."
"Listen up here young lady" Moz thundered on the phone "You are a great person, even if you are a con artist. If these people make you feel great, then they should accept you no matter what! I don't care if you tell them your secret; it's your life to live. Just come home and be happy again."
"Uh, I'm not sure Moz. How about this, I'll be heading over there tomorrow and then we can talk more in person."
"Sounds like a plan Tod, I'll see you here." He said and hung up. I flopped back on the couch and heaved a sigh. I looked over at Tuna and Fish sitting next to me.
"Guess we're going back" I told them and went off to pack my bags.
I arrived in front of Moz's house at about 6:30 in the morning on Sunday, hopped out of the car and knocked on the door. I leaned to the right of the door and soon, a bullet that flew barely grazed my ear.
I sighed, knocked four times on the door in a rhythm and shouted, "Open up Moz, it's Bella." The door flew open and a haggard looking Moz stood with boxers and a thin white shirt on.
