And with that Jasper attacked.

In a blink of an eye Bella was pushed back into the wall, as the swarm of red eyed Cullen's ran after Jasper, gripping him tightly as he fought his way back to Bella.

"It's ok, it's just a little.... blood" Alice lustly whispered before all eyes were on Bella and the blood that torturously dripped down her arm, drenching the cream coloured carpet. I rushed to her aid, wrapping her exposed arm in my jacket before...

"NO!" I yelled shooting up in my bed, completely covered in sweat.

OH MY GOD! VAMPIRES! They were real, they weren't just a figment of someones immagination, vampires existed. How did i not see this before? Bella even told me the story that Jake told her, about the pale faces and something about wolves.

In the car ride home Bella explained most of what she could. How they only fed on animal blood, how some of them developed gifts from vampirism and how they couldn't be seen in the sunlight or else they would be exposed.

*Knock Knock*

"Can't sleep?" Bella asked as she crept in my room, finding a seat at the foot of my bed.

"Nightmares. You?" I reply, staring at her coldly.

"So, dinner was interesting huh?" she started.

"Interesting? INTERESTING! BELLA JASPER BASICALLY TRIED TO-" a woosh in the air seemed to have held me captive. Of course his vampire super speed and hearing was on stand by for her safety.

"You can't tell anyone ok?!" Bella pleaded and begged until I gave in.

"Don't touch me" I spit at Edward as I jerk my arm free from his touch.

"Don't talk to him like that!" Bella defended as she ran up beside him.

"It's ok Bella, it's a lot to process. I'll come past in the morning to pick you up for school" he looked disheartened, I could tell he cared for Bella deeply but despite this he was still a monster. Still a vampire.

"Good thing he can't read my mind either" I say underbreath once he left the house. 

"What is that supposed to mean?" Bella spat.

"Nothing. It's just nice to know atleast I'll have privacy in the comfort of my mind while the two of you walk around this town like everything is completely natural and ok. I mean atleast now i know why Forks has such a high rate of killings, it's them isnt it?"

"Shut up Fly"

"Well it's true!"

"FLY SHUT UP"  She smashed the door shut as she stormed out making me wince.

I woke the next morning to a note on my bedside table. It read:

'Fly I'm sorry, but if you can't accept him then I'm not coming back until you do. I know you so i'm telling you now don't do anything reckless while i'm gone x.'

Bella left? With Edward, with a vampire and his family without so much as a note!?

I was utterly freaked out, i ran downstairs in search of my dad but he got to me first.

"Fly what is this?" He had a note too!

"Oh my god! I know it's crazy.."

"Sure is! Bella doesn't hike? How did Edward's family get the money to do all this for her?" He interrupted.

"Wait- What?" I say in my confusement as i snatch his note reading it to myself over and over. Bella told dad that her and the Cullen's left for Italy and that they'd spend the summer back packing around Europe. Guess it was easier to lie on paper than to Charlie's face.

"I know you just got her back and now she left for Europe, apparently, but it's ok we still have eachother" Dad obliviously comforted with a smile as he sat at the kitchen table ringing Bella's phone, making sure she was safe.

I coudln't understand why she'd leave home with a monster, with an abomination, with a killer. I ran to the woods to find peace so i could scream as loud as i'd like without fear of people hearing me.

I yelled at the top of my lungs, piercing the air with my shrieks as the birds in the trees flew away.

"Shh little one. There's no need to cry" said a gentle voice behind as my senses were on full alert.

"Who are you?" I asked alarmed as i began walking backwards, with every step the dreadlocked hair man stepped forward.

"I'm Laurent. Surely the Cullens have mentioned me?" He smirks, gliding towards me as he breathes in my scent. "You smell just like your sister. I promised I wouldn't harm either of you but I just can't help myself." I could hear the sound of his teeth peircing through his gums as he held me tight.

"You're a vampire too?"

"You seemed surprised." And I was, before he could even move in close enough to my neck a pack of large furry beasts chased him far into the heart of the woods. As one of the creatures strode beside me I saw something familiar, a twinkle in its eye before it vanished...

"WOLVES! THERE WERE WOLVES IN THE WOODS!"

"Fly what are you doing in the woods? I don't want you to go in there anymore you hear me! I swear you're just like your sister" Charlie argued before leaving the house to go hunting.

'Fly I'm sorry, but if you can't accept him than I'm not coming back until you do. Don't do anything reckless while i'm gone, I know you x.'

For the past week i've spent my time in my lonesome room when Jacob and his dad Billy weren't over to watch the football and even then i'd find myself walking up to my room, rereading the note over and over again. She doesn't want me to do anything reckless while she was gone, then that was exactly what I had to do.

Charlie came storming through the house the next morning, cursing under his breath, as I lay out on the couch staring at the black screen of the TV.

“What’s wrong dad?” I ask absent-minded as I try and plan a way to get Bella back, something reckless. I wasn’t completely sure what magical powers the rest of the Cullen’s possessed but I did know Alice’s, and I was going to use that to the best of my advantage. I would make her see my dangerous future whether she liked it or not.

“Nothing. It’s just those good for nothing motorcycle riders, think they own the streets they could bloody well get themselves killed or worse!” he muttered and a light bulb turned on in my mind.
