Chapter 2:
Today is my 'birthday'. Yay me! Not. (A/N Her real birthday is in June, not September)
I tried to convince Alice and Edward that I didn't need a birthday party. But that failed miserably, thanks to Jasper manipulating my emotions to say yes. Now, if I was allowed to do magic, I would have Crucioed all three of their asses and wouldn't be going to the Cullen's house at 7 o'clock, but unfortunately that wasn't what Fate had planned for me.
During the whole school day, up to lunch, I was getting birthday wishes like you wouldn't believe.
I was finally able to escape from their clutches, mainly Mike. I ran into a single stall bathroom and locked the door. I sighed in relief and walked to the mirror.
What does Edward "Penny Head" Cullen see in this body? I thought.
I studied my reflection in the mirror.
Chocolate brown eyes, dark brown hair that ended about mid-back, albino skin, average height and weight, and not at all pretty. There was absolutely nothing remarkable about this appearance.
Suddenly, a feeling washed over my body. I only got this feeling when something good or bad was about to happen to me. I felt the need to go to the Cullen's house. Although Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Edward were here this morning, the sun came out and they needed to go home, so that way they wouldn't be exposed as vampires. I would've thought that Alice would've seen this and apparently it came as a surprise to her. I figured that because it was my birthday, I deserved to play hookie for the rest of the day. So I unlocked the door and ran to the office. I told the nurse that I wasn't feeling good and she sent me home.
I drove my truck to the Cullen household. I could hear loud music coming from upstairs. I would've thought that Alice would have seen my decision to come here and that Edward would be opening my door by now. I shrugged it off and went up to the house. I didn't see anyone, so I thought everyone went for a hunting trip and Emmett and Rosalie stayed home to do god knows what. I was about to turn and leave, but then I heard loud banging and someone moaning someone's name. It was a female voice that I didn't recognize. My feeling told me to follow the noises, so I did.
To my surprise, it led me to Edward's room. I quietly opened the door. There in the middle of the room was Edward, Alice, and someone strawberry blonde chick having sex.
I got my cell phone out and took a quick picture to show everyone else, so I could have proof that I wasn't lying. It made a little click when it took the picture and I froze. But they didn't stop, so I figured that they didn't hear me because of the loud music. I backed out of the room and closed the door quietly. I ran down the stairs and out the door. I walked quickly to a spot where they couldn't hear me if they turned the music down and called Jasper's cell.
It was three rings before he picked up.
"Hello?" Jasper's deep voice asked.
"Hey, Jasper. How's the hunt going?" I replied.
"Oh, hey Bella. It's going just great," He said sarcastically. I knew it! He missed human blood. "I've packed 3 mountain lions, 6 deer, and 5 bears."
I could faintly hear Emmett yell.
"You hunted bear without me? Where the fuck did you fi- OUCH! You fucking son a bitch! That fucking hurt!" He yelled.
"Umm… do I want to know what happened?" I asked slowly and confused. Then I heard a crash.
"The lion he was playing with just swiped at his balls and made contact," Jasper chortled. "And he just attacked it and threw it across the meadow into a tree."
"Ouch. I feel so sorry for the lion," I said, wincing.
"Hey! What about me?" Emmett yelled. I heard a slap. "Ow, baby! That hurt."
I giggled. "Rosalie there, too?"
"Yup. She slapped him upside the head."
I laughed. "Hey, Rosalie!" I called into the phone.
"Hey, Bella. What's up?" Rosalie's voice said into the phone.
I still couldn't believe how close I, Jasper, and Rosalie have gotten since what happened in Phoenix. We were all like three peas in a pod… well four if you include Emmett.
I straightened quickly at her question. "I need you, Emmett, and Jasper to come home quickly. Do not tell Carlisle and Esme."
"Why? What's wrong?" Jasper's voice said concerned.
"I'll tell you when you get here. Where are you?" I asked.
"Um… near the border of Canada." Emmett joined the conversation.
"Good. Just come home as fast as you can. I'll explain when you get here," I repeated. "Oh, by the way, do you know any strawberry blonde vampire chicks?" I asked.
"Tanya from the Denali coven. Why?" Rosalie answered.
"Just curious. See you soon."
"Okay, we are nearing Port Angeles now," Jasper said.
I laughed. "Damn that was fast," I said. "I have to go."
"Okay, bye Bella."
"Bye, guys." Before I hung up, I could faintly hear Emmett say "Did she just cuss?" and then a slap. I laughed again and then hung up.
I smiled.
This is going to be the best birthday gift EVER!
