Stark Stange: The Protector

17

It's been a couple of months and Bella has fallen into this depression. I can feel everything she is feeling and I know I can ease her pain with a look into her eyes and a wave of my hand but I can't. I've been checking up on her everyday and I just pop back to check on the Cullen's for a few hours.

I'm with Edward right now in Brazil, he's asking how Bella is doing but I'm not giving him so much information about her. If he knew what she was going through right now then he would run to her side, but I can't let that happen. As much as it could help both of them I can't. After being with Edward for another hour made a portal back to Bella's house.

Today's Thursday and while I'm checking up on Bella I hear her talking to Charlie who is telling her that he has already bought her a ticket to Jacksonville to go back with her mom.

From what I remember I don't think Charlie had already bought her the ticket but then it dawned on me that not everything is the same here as the stories that I know.

"No I'm hanging out with Jessica tonight, to do...umm to do some shopping?"

"Bella you hate shopping" Charlie looked at his daughter.

"No i just need a girls night" Bella smiled.

"Okay girls night fun. Go buy stuff hang out this your friends"

Bella went into her car and go to school, there she sat alone again. I was really hoping that she would try to sit with the rest of her friends. But the school day ended and she had talked to anyone. But at least she called Jessica and asked if she wanted to go watch a movie which is better progress than none.

It's now Friday night and I'm invisible outside the movie theater. Bella and Jessica walk out and Jessica is trying to talk to Bella but she looks distracted.

As they are walking Bella spots this group of guys with motorcycles.

"If I'm in this situation, I just know he'll come back to me!!" Bella's thoughts are loud and clear. She wants more than anything for Edward to come back and she will do or find any way to do so.

As Bella is walking towards them, her thoughts are still loud.

"Edward, that really is him" she was creating a mental picture of Edward in front of her while she was walking to the motorcycle guys.
She hops on one of the guys bikes, and they take off as fast as they could go. Bella is constantly seeing Edward, but something is wrong, she isn't telling the guy to slow down or watch out and the guys is starting to brake but it's happening to fast.

I'm still invisible but I'm using my vampire speed to stay right next to or as close as I need to get. Bella is finally telling the guy to stop the motorcycle and he does so but the back is starting to lift off the ground. I stop running and my hands start glowing but thankfully no one can see it, with the telekinesis I pull the back tire down. I walked closer to Bella to make sure that she is alright and back but to see if Jessica is still waiting for Bella.

Once Bella gets back up to Jessica, Bella explains that it was such a rush. But Jessica really isn't having any of it, basically telling Bella that it was reckless and stupid just getting on the back of some random dudes motorcycle.
"She really could have gotten hurt, what is she? Crazy? Well it seems like it. She needs to get her shit together" Jessica's thoughts really are everywhere right now and doesn't know what to think. But she knows and if firm on the agreement to herself that Bella is kind of loosing it.

It's been two months and I'm still in Forks, I've been calling the Cullen's every other day making sure that they are doing alright. I know that they can handle themselves wherever they are but I still need to know. And plus I think Emse really had a motherly protection over me, so everytime we call she makes sure that I'm eating well and getting my sleep. It's nice hearing her worry about me like that, it reminds me of Pepper. When I was younger she would always watch over me, and she still does, she would make sure that I had everything ready for class, make sure that I ate so I wouldn't be drained, and so much more. Having her in my life is honestly the best thing. Sometimes I really wish that I could call her mom, mother, mama, something because she deserves that title but I just can't......not yet at least.

But umm yeah back to me being in Forks, I stayed the night at Billy's house, I had just went to change my clothes back home and I got back early this morning. Jacob and I have been becoming better friends with my time staying here. We've been playing board games and cooking whenever we can. He always asks me questions about what my life is like back in my reality, and what it was like being homeschooled. I gave him pretty short answers since I really couldn't tell him a lot about my life back home.

I asked Jacob about what it's like living knowing that magical creatures exist and they aren't just fairytales and folklore.

"Really that question coming from you, your father has magical powers, and you grew up around people who could fly, fight, and protect people. You grew up with superpowers." Jacob said jokingly but with a slight tone of 'really.'

I laughed, "okay I get what you mean my dads can fly and protect people, but you grew up with the stories of the gene, and knowing wolf and vampires were real. That's crazy, I might have people that fly but I don't have people this that."

"Okay true true. Okay so I mean I've always known that some of us could have the gene and I know that I'm bound to have it, so that's not not normal. But knowing that there's something else out there that could hurt us has always put pressure on me. And plus I'm not even sure I want to have the gene. Don't tell anyone but it scares me to think that I have to protect people."

"Oh my, wow. Being scared is a normal feeling. The gene isn't something that you can just walk away from but it's something that, if you do have it, you can embrace. And I know what you mean by protecting people can be scary, it's literally what I do anywhere I go. Making sure people are safe is the most important thing I do and I've done it before at different levels so that I'm more confident wherever I do it."
As I finish saying this I can hear Bella coming up to Billy's house in her truck. I get up from the couch, "Jacob, remember don't tell anyone I'm here." He nodded and I turned invisible. I walked back to the back door.

As Bella is getting out of her truck and I hear Jacob running and saying "Bella, where the hell have you been, loca?" The way I had to stop myself from laughing was a mission itself.
Bella brought over motorcycles for her and Jacob to repair.

"If we fix them correctly, I can both spend time with Jacob and I can see Edward again." Bella's thoughts were very clear, it's as if she wants someone to hear them.

Bella and Jacob walked to the garage and talked about when they wanted to get started. I knew everything was going to be fine so I walked into the woods, created a portal to my house and went to my room to read one of the books that Tony and Pepper sent me.
