Can you see me? (Cullens x B.fem reader)

Chapter 25: Baseball

{Saturday morning, Clearing in the woods.}
(Narrator's POV)
The clouds rolled in casting gloom over the town of Forks. A storm was coming, not much of a surprise to the residents of this mostly cold and rainy environment.

Deep in the woods at a clearing gathered the vampires of the Olympic coven. Dressed in sports clothes unique to baseball and getting themselves ready for the game.

Just as everything was set, Emmett's jeep comes into view, parking not too far from the designated area meant to play on. Edward and Bella stepping out to join everyone else.

Esme: smiles at them warmly as she says, "Just in time, Bella. We need an umpire.", "She thinks we cheat.." says Emmett with a playful smirk. "I know you cheat." Esme lightheartedly responds. Esme guides Bella to her spot as she reassures her, "Call 'em as you see 'em, Bella..", "It's time.." Alice calls out as the storm clouds roll in, thunder rumbling loud in the atmosphere.

Off to the side stands Azira, watching the game begin after they pick teams and get into there positions. Watching as Alice pitches and Rosalie is the first to bat, the collision of the bat to the ball resounding almost as loud as the thunder, the force behind her swing sending the ball speeding through the air and through the woods.

"That's gotta be a home-run, right?" Bella asks Esme as they watch Edward dash after the ball just as Rosalie makes her run around the base, "Mm, I don't know.. Edward's pretty fast." Esme responds as they watch Edward throw the ball back from within the woods, Esme catching it and pressing it down to the ground just before Rosalie's foot could reach the square.

Giving a slight shake of her head at the close timing, Bella concludes "You're out..", "Out! Whoo!" Emmett exclaims in celebratory excitement, Rosalie rising back to her feet with a low snarl of displeasure, seeing her expression, Emmett calls out playfully "Babe, c'mon, it's just a game.."

"Nice play, Rosie.." Azira speaks up from her spot with a calm smile on her face, using the nickname she recently started calling Rosalie by, taking Rosalie's attention off Bella and calming her significantly.

The game continues with Carlisle batting next, striking the ball with a resounding force and immediately beginning his run around the base as Edward and Emmett dart after the ball, both leaping into the air but missing it by an arms length as they collide into each other.

Eliciting a brief chuckle from Azira, earning a flirtatious wink from Emmett and a brief glance from Edward holding an unreadable emotion in his eyes. The game continues with Jasper being the next to bat, sending the ball flying then making his run around the base as Emmett chases after it. Scaling a tree with minimal effort before catching the ball and throwing it back, "My monkey man.." Rosalie muses with a smirk, Azira having heard that with a grin curling at her lips.

Soon it's Rosalie's turn to bat once more and as she runs the lap, everything is going fine until Alice suddenly freezes up for a few seconds before yelling out "Stop!", alerting everyone else whom all rush to group together. Edward almost rushing Bella in direction of the parked jeep, Alice explaining "They were leaving, then they heard us..", her words intriguing Azira who looks out at a particular direction of the woods with an unreadable expression,

"Let's go," Edward says to Bella but Carlisle interjects saying "It's too late.", Azira subtly turns her attention to Bella, making her way towards her til she's right next to her unoccupied side, practically hearing the human girl's heart nearly beating out of her chest.

(Azira's POV)
'Hm.. should I extend my energy shield on her?" I wonder to myself as I sense the three unfamiliar vampires heading in our direction, "Get your hair down." Edward instructs Bella as he walks with her next to me following behind all the other Cullens, "Like that'll help, I'd smell her across the field." Rosalie scoffs at the attempt to hide Bella's scent.
