Different // Twilight [1]

{10} - Things change, okay?

*Arielle's P.O.V*
I sighed contently as I laid on the sofa watching the TV with Dad. My legs were laid on his knee as I hugged a pillow. The slamming open of the front door made me jump to my feet to greet Bella.

I stumbled at the emotions radiating off of her, giving me a migraine already. Her shouting made my pounding headache worse as I walked to the door to see a pained Edward. He felt it too.

"I said get out!" She slammed the door shut, running upstairs as Dad ran to stop her and talk to her.

I quickly opened the door, stepping out to see Edward about to turn around.

"Wait! What happened? I can feel the guilt radiating off of you and her so please enlighten me on why my sister is pissed," I ran to him and folded my arms.

"Arielle, listen to me when I say this. You need to go inside, and calm down. Bella loves you lots and would do anything for you, so please whatever happens in there, don't hold a grudge on her," he spun on his heels to leave.

I ran into the house and up the stairs to see Dad outside the door of Bella's room looking scared. He felt it too and I suddenly felt panicked too. My heart shattered as she left the room holding suitcases filled to where one wouldn't fully close.

"Bella please," my voice cracked as I saw her holding the bracelet I gave her when we were 6.

"Take it," she slammed it in my hand and ran down the stairs as I followed her down.

"Bells, I just got you back," Dad pleaded as she stood by the door.

"Yeah well if I don't go I'm gonna be stuck here just like mom," she grabbed the handle.

"Bella, don't go please. You promised when we were like 9 that we would never be apart," my voice cracked as tears fell freely.

"We're not 9 anymore Arielle! Things change, okay? So you need to grow up and face reality that not everyone likes your company. Mom showed she didn't. Do I have to as well? Take the hint," and with that she stormed out the door.

I held back a cry and turned to Dad. We looked at each other for a few seconds before I gently grabbed his hand and lead him to the sofa. I sat him down and gave him a blanket.

"I'm gonna call Jacob," I grabbed my phone and walked upstairs and into my bedroom in the loft.

I dialled his number and sobbed into the phone.

"Jake, Bella left," I cried as soon as he answered.

"What?! I'm coming over," the small sound of jingles could be heard on the other end.

"Don't, it'll be dark soon. I just wanted someone to talk to," I sighed as we talked about pretty much anything.

"I'm gonna go see if Dad is asleep. Thanks for putting up with me Jake," I stood up with my phone still in my hand.

"Thanks for calling. Bye Little Swan."

"Bye Jake," I hung up the phone and set it down on the table.

I climbed out of my room, and walked down the hall. A hard stone-like thing hit me in the back of my head as I fell into the blackness that surrounded me.

*No-one's P.O.V*

Arielle laid on the studio floor unconscious, a small pool of blood growing under her head. James placed his finger to the back of her head, sucking the blood off of his finger with a content sigh. He pulled a phone out of his pocket dialling the number he knew was his prey's.

"How much do you love your dear mother and sister?" He smirked into the phone, after getting Bella alone.

"Leave them alone! They have nothing to do with this!" Bella shouted through the phone.

"Ah ah ah," James tutted grabbing Arielle's wrist and twisting it.

Arielle jolted awake in pain with a scream as the clean snap made tears fall from her eyes.

"Stop, leave her alone, please I'll do anything," Bella panicked into the phone from hearing her sister's pain-filled scream.

"Now, I suggest you get here quick because I have the cover story for your father and lots of time to do as I please. How does this sound? She went after you on that skateboard of hers, and had an accident. No-one would suspect anything with how her condition would be. Come alone," James hung up, before turning to Arielle's wide eyes and terrified expression.

"Why am I here? Why were you calling Bella?" Arielle slowly pushed herself away from James, and screamed when he sped right in front of her.

"Since the Cullens clearly don't care for a human like you, I'll spill the beans before playing with my food," James smiled menacingly before continuing. "I'm a vampire. So are the Cullens. And I like the idea of your sisters blood. But two for the price of one sounds good to me. She'll be here soon don't worry. But to pass time," James trailed off.

James didn't expect Arielle to blast him back with her magic. She stumbled to her feet before sprinting for the door. She screamed as he grabbed her neck and through her into the mirror. Her head flopped as darkness surrounded her, blood now in more places than before.

It all looked like a crime scene, and sure as hell felt like one.
