Chapter 8
Edward’s POV
After I’d hunted down some animals, I returned to the camp again. There, I saw my family preparing for leaving. ‘We’re going anywhere?’ I asked curiously. ‘Bella just got a phone cal. The school will be opening tomorrow again’ Carlisle said. ‘Still don’t get why tomorrow and not next year or so….’ Emmett mumbled. ‘Because I have to make money, Emmett’ Bella said. ‘I can help you!’ Alice said. ‘NO!!! I don’t want to buy shares or anything because you know what’s going to happen!’ Bella said. Alice opened her mouth to answer. ‘Or anything that has to do with your gift’ Bella said. Alice closed her mouth again. It was quite funny to see. I also saw that Bella had some shopping bags with her normal baggage. I guess Taylor and Alice didn’t forget the one that brought them together then. And then something hit me. ‘What about Jade?’ I asked. ‘SHHHH!!!!’ everyone yelled. ‘What?’ I asked, looking around. ‘YOU CARELESS FOOL!!!!’ Bella yelled. ‘What???’ I asked, losing the debate wherever it was about for sure. ‘Dude, Jacob can hear you….’ she said. ‘Ooooh’ I said, my face brightening. I heard Emmett snickering. ‘What?! I asked him while I turned around to face him. ‘Normally I’m the one which is yelled at’ he said with a smile. ‘Oh, you will be soon enough again when you haven’t finished the homework which I’m about to set you’ Bella said with an evil smile. ‘Oh god, homework, NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!’ Emmett yelled.
The journey back home didn’t contain any problems. Well, only if you won’t count Emmett as a problem. Let’s just, forget, about it…. ‘NO EMMETT, PUT THAT DOWN!!!’ I yelled. ‘EMMETT, DON’T STALK THAT WOMAN!’ Bella yelled. ‘EMMETT, DON’T EAT--- WHAT IS THAT ACTUALLY?’ Rosalie yelled. ‘EMMETT COME HERE AND DON’T WALK AWAY AGAIN!’ Carlisle yelled. ‘COME HERE AND TRY THIS PINK SHIRT ON!’ Alice yelled. ‘EMMETT, DON’T TRY TO BITE MY ARM PLEASE!’ Jasper yelled. ‘Does anyone wants a free tester?’ the woman from the perfume shop asked. ‘EMMETT COME HERE NOW!’ Esme yelled. Yes, Esme yelled. We were all shocked. Even Emmett. He was so shocked, that he obeyed. The rest wasn’t really interesting, so I won’t think about it. I laid on my back on the sofa in my room, not knowing what to do. I started to think about other things. Victoria was coming after us, that was one thing we all knew. Victoria was coming after Bella, and I had to protect her as good as I could. But what if she would get killed? I wouldn’t want to live a life without Bella….. No, don’t think about that Edward! I shook my head as I laid there, staring at the roof. And then I heard it. It was music, like a lullaby. I walked downstairs to my piano, and played what I heard.
‘Edward, that was beautiful!’ Esme said. I shook up from my play, I hadn’t heard her coming. ‘Sorry, I didn’t want to distract you! Keep playing!’ she said. ‘Wait, wait, Esme, no it’s fine, stay’ I said with a smile. Esme’s face brightened. She loved being a mum, and when we were really nice to her, we treated her like a mum. ‘Ehm, how do I say this, do you think Bella will like this?’ I asked her. She looked at me with her all-knowing eyes. ‘I think you are the one that has to find out’ she said, while turning around, ready to leave. But, just before she left the room, she said: ‘But I think, yes’ and she walked away. I smiled. Esme was the one in our family that kept us, well, a family. She was the one it all turned around. Without Esme, we would fall apart and be like other clans. Now, we were siblings, sons and daughters. For one of the first times, I realized how lucky I was to be in this family. They cared about me, I cared about them. We would stay together, no matter what. We would back-up each other, whatever would happen. We would never let each other fall. Not like other clans. I thought of the moment when James had killed Laurent. And I knew that was our power. We needed each other desperately. Because, together, we are stronger then alone.
Bella’s POV
After the crazy journey from Australia back to our wonderful Forks, I went home immediately. I had to prepare so much for tomorrow! They should have called much sooner! As I ran home, I thought about the fact that Emmett’s class still had to read a book. I went over my new skills I’d learned in the bookshop in Australia. And then it hit me. I knew what book he should read. It wasn’t a short book, but he would like it. And, while reading it, he would probably forget that he was reading anyways. As I got home, I ordered the books immediately. Also, I ordered part 2 and 3. And then I saw that The Maze Runner triology was on sale, so I ordered them as well. I was sure I could use them for another class. As the order was sent, and the bill was paid, I stood up from behind my desk and went to my couch. I sat down on it, and just hang there. Too many memories flooded into my minds, so I stood up to do something. I walked around my house, not knowing what to do. Should I read something? No, not in the mood for it. Should I go outside? No, not in the mood for it. As I walked past my desk, I looked at my computer. Some kind of instinct grabbed me, and I sat down behind it. I double clicked on word, and before I knew it, I was writing a story.
I looked around me. Everywhere I looked were trees, tops covered with leaves, some of the trees covered in ivy. And I knew I didn’t belong here. I started to run, away from the trees, but the more I ran, the more trees were coming. Everywhere I looked I saw trees. Nowhere a house, or a building. I had to get out of here soon. I thought about what happened last night, while running. I couldn’t remember. I kept running, with all my power, until I saw it was useless. I saw an open space, and sat down. There, I made up a plan. I would climb in the highest tree I could find, and I would look around and see where I was. Then, I would try to get as fast as I could to the closest city in the area. As soon as it was decided, I found out some problems. I wasn’t a good climber. It took me extremely long, and it gave me some very nice scratches, but it was all worth it. When I was in the tree, I felt extremely good. I’d done it! I looked around me, searching for a building, a skyscraper, a mall. But all I could see where trees. Why only trees? How did I get here? what was going on? I slowly started to panic. And that was when it began.
‘Jess! Jess! Jess!’ I heard voices whisper. Where was it coming from? Who were they? I didn’t know. ‘Jess! Jess! Jess!’ I heard again. ‘WHO ARE YOU?’ I yelled to the voices. I heard some snickering. ‘Who are you? What do you want?’ I asked. Then, it turned silent, as if nothing happened. ‘Afraid now, huh?’ I yelled. Out of nowhere, something wrapped around my feet and started to pull. I lost my balance and felt. Since I was standing on a big branch, I felt down. My head hit the tree which belonged to the branch, and the world went black.
A few times, I saw some things. A bit of light. A person. An animal. I didn’t know. And I couldn’t care less. I was safe in the black. The black was fine. I wished I could stay there forever.
