IV. Challenges

Bellatrix smiled as Angela fell asleep; it made her feel almost human again. She watches as her chest rises and falls peacefully, her heart keeping a steady beat. She looked peaceful. It almost made Bellatrix jealous.

The sun was rising, so Bellatrix put on her shoes and jacket before leaving a little note on the bed. Leaving into the sunset

"Where were you last night?" Emmet asks his wife's best friend. "Somewhere peaceful." Bellatrix replied shortly. They had arrived at school.

Although Rosalie knew who that was and didn't care, as long as her best friend didn't endanger her or Emmet, she let the human mate go. After all, it was Edward they had to worry about.

The Cullens look over their shoulders to see Bella and Edward in a heated embrace. Although Bellatrix looks away, she sees Angela laugh with Jessica as they watch the boys fool around.

Bellatrix winked at her subtly before turning away, looking back at her not even a second later to see Angela cover up her blush and neck from Jessica, who was prying.

A smirk rose on the Latinas lips as they entered the bus. "You're so cocky." Emmet rolls his eyes as he points out her smirk.

"Considering the marks I saw, I wouldn't doubt if she was." Jasper adds as they sit in the back of the bus.

"Just for that, Rosie, you're sitting with me." Bellatrix drags Rosalie over to their seat, leaving Emmet pouting by himself. As Edward enters their bus.

As they walked through the plant, Emmet walked with both Rosalie and Bellatrix on his arms. The giant teddy bear is wearing a smile.

Bellatrix subtly brushes by Angela, resting her hand on her lower back. Sending shivers down the latter girl's spine. She briefly turned her head, watching Bellatrix smirk as she walked by, sending her a little glare.

Emmet led the two to the buses as Bellatrix turned over her shoulder, watching Angela laugh with Eric, causing jealousy to flood her veins, even though they were not a couple yet.

"Ugh." Bellatrix groans as she watches Edward and Bella talk. "They are so weird."

*****

"Oh my god." Angela shrieks, not expecting Bellatrix to be in her room. "You keep getting scared, but I'm here every day." Baelltrix smiles at her.

"It doesn't scare me any less." Angela tells her, giving her a soft glare. Although when she turned to look in the mirror, she was going to look for another outfit as she was still in her school one.

Bellatrix appeared behind Angela without a sound or a footstep as her hands fell onto her waist. She left soft kisses on the girl's neck as Angela lolled her head back.

"I don't like him." Bellatrix states as she nips at Angela's jaw. "Who?" Angela asks, confused. "Eric, no me gusta."

Angela laughs, but it turns into a soft moan immediately as Bellatrix sucks on her neck. "I need to change." Angela lets out a breath in between breaths.

"Go ahead." Bellatrix hums as she still continues her assault as her hands help Angela take off her shirt, letting her explore more.

Bellatrix turns Angela around as they head towards the bed. Bellatrix laid her down gently as she slowly moved her kisses down. That's when Angela truly felt how cold Bellatrix's body was when she took off the Cullens shirt, both girls in their bras.

"Can we just make out?" Angela asks nervously, as she wants her first time to be special for her. Bellatrix flashes her a smile, moving her body.

"Whatever you want, mi amor." Bellatrix pecks her lips before Angela drags her down for a deeper kiss.

*****

Bellatrix smirks as she watches Bella be feisty toward Edward. "If you were smart, you would stay away from me." Bellatrix turns towards Rosalie, both girls erupting into giggles as they lean into one another for support.

"Sometimes, I want to pluck my eyes out to see how cringy they are." Bellatrix grimaces.
*****

Bellatrix smiled as she and Rosalie were hunting. "You're so funny." Bellatrix glares at the laughing blonde who scared off her fox.

"What? Can't handle a little challenge?" Rosalie laughs, although her timing is bad as a cougar jumps out of the brush, chasing a deer.

"Challenge accepted." Bellatrix smirks before rushing after the feline, with Rosalie hot on her trail.

She had caught up to the cougar, pouncing on it as they fought on the ground. Ultimately, the cougar died, Bellatrix draining it dry of its blood.

"Is it because I feel like more of a monster feeding off of poor animals than I do terrible humans?" Bellatrix states this as Rosalie drains the deer dry.

"I get what you mean. Unfortunately, Carlisle is committed to the vegan way. And I would rather not touch another Juman man again." Rosalie grimaces as she wipes off her blood.

Yeah, you're right."

*****

"Where were you today?" Angela asks Bellatrix to climb through her window.

"What do you mean, Amor?" Bellatrix asks, her accent heavy as she felt full from earlier.

"It was nice outside; the sun finally shined. We went dress shopping for prom." Angela gets cut off by Bellatrix walking forward.

"Who are you going to prom with?" Bellatrix asks, her eyes hardening at the thought of Eric.

"Eric. Since someone else didn't." Angela glares at her through the mirror. "My family doesn't allow us to go to prom; me and Rosalie usually sneak off to get drunk in the woods." Bellatrix tells her, although it's usually her and Rosalie hunting their frustrations away. The two together were more animal than their coven. Some of them enjoyed the hunt and the chase.

"Have you and Rosalie ever?" Angela asks as she looks over her shoulder.

"Once. Before she met Emmet. We were upset and frustrated with the lack of love in our lives, and we used each other until Rosalie fell for Emmet." Bellatrix tells her the honest truth. She had no reason to lie.

Angela turns around, very curious about the topic. "Do you still?" She asks worryingly.

"No. I can't even imagine it. Emmet and Rosalie are perfect for each other. They are each other's soulmates, the other half's." Bellatrix tells her, her eyes hazing over as she remembers watching Rosalie fall for the handsome, daring man. He was so gentle with Rosalie, never pushy.

Angela walks over, sitting in Bellatrix's laps, gasping softly at the vampire's cold touch, something she never got used to.

"Good." Angela states as she leans down and kisses the Latina. "Your skin is always so cold; why?" Angela asks as she breaks up the kiss.

Bellatrix froze at the question. She honestly didn't have an answer. Either lie or tell the truth. But she would keep her promise to Rosalie; she and Emmet would be safe, and Angela couldn't know if they were to remain safe.

"It's freezing in forks? I guess my body adapted differently." Bellatrix lies, brushing it off. It seemed enough for Angela as she continued to kiss her.
