Chapter 7: Enemies
As I drove to an unknown world of my mind, I sang along with the songs I listened to on the radio, or changed the station to find another song I liked that had a guitar in the background. Anything but hip hop or rap will make me happy.
I found myself driving into a dirt road, finding two different paths to explore. One side was a regular hiking road and the other was a road that led to a thick wall of trees, the path to it hasn't been worn by any travelers, or at least less travelers than the regular dirt trail. I gout of the car, the rain dripping on my face. A few drops of rain were trapped on top of my eye lashes, but I didn't really care. I wanted to forget that Conner wasn't going to be with me for the weekend.
I looked at the unworn path in a gaze. It was tempting to get lost in a world that no human being has explored. I took a step toward the dark forest, I wasn't thinking of what I was doing, but I did it anyways. As I took a step under the trees, the rain began to calm down. I heard the heavy down pour over me, a few drops have escaped, but it was dry enough for people to be happy about.
As I walked through the wet grass and past the ferns, I listened carefully to my surrounding. I liked how the rain sounded over the trees, the smell of the grass and moist air, and calming feeling and aroma of the trees.
I walked what seemed like forever. My mind wandered, leading me to think about how fast time would be if Conner was with me. I slapped my head and listened to the sound of my feet mushing in the mud and grass. I had the feeling that something was around me, something evil. The aura around me was telling me that I was in that trail at the wrong time.
As I walked down the path for two hours, the rain began to die away. The sun was peaking out from the trees, only a few drops that were trapped in the leaves were leaking off the tips. It wasn't too sunny, but it was sunny enough that it could last a few minutes. I took another few steps before I realized there was a light peaking through the thick trees from the distance.
I quickened my pace, barely jogging to the light. The light got bigger as I paced closer. I got there in the matter of minutes. Once I reached close enough that I could see clearly, I was in awe. Intrigued and happy inside.
As I took a step closer, everything I thought of a moment ago have past away. The light sun rayed on the small and perfectly round meadow The wildflowers of the brightest colors shined beautifully in the sun's solar light. I knew this place was somewhat special. Beautiful, peaceful, mysterious, quiet, and sometimes . . . lonely.
I walk to the middle of this peaceful place, without disturbing the holy silence. I listened carefully, nothing.
I then heard something that made the grass sway from behind me. I snapped my head to the sound that broke the silence. There was nothing. I heard another sound that made the grass move, I repeated what I did before.
Nothing.
I heard a snarl all around me, surrounding me, I was trapped. I stared where I was, frozen to the spot I stood in the entire time. My heart was throbbing, forcing it's way out of my chest, cold sweat running down from the side of my face. “Con . . . Constantine,” I thought to myself. Fear was taking over me, the shock glued me to the wildflowers and becoming visible in the sun.
I heard the grassing swaying towards me from every direction. It sounded like something big was coming to me. I swallowed out of fear, a frog caught in my throat. As the steps became louder, my heart would beat faster.
It was close. From the shadows the trees made from the sun, four large creatures walked into the sunlight, bearing their teeth at me, and snarling me. I looked behind myself, finding five more of the same specie. I looked back at the biggest one, which was right in front of me. The large bear-like creature came up to me and sniffed me from head to toe. Whenever it inhaled my scent, my hair would be sucked towards his nose and the hair on the back of my neck would stand up.
The beast shook it's head and then snarled at me. It had confusion and anger in it's eyes. There was a snarl from behind me. The beasts began roaring at each other, like they were having a conversation that I couldn't understand. The growling then stopped, all of them turned to one spot just behind me and bared their teeth viciously at whatever was behind me. One of the beasts jumped over me, I then heard roaring and growling, like a coyote was fighting over a rabbit.
As I stood there, listening to the snarls and growling, a hand touched my shoulder that made me squeal and fall over to the ground. “Woah don't die from a heart attack,” a unfamiliar voice told me.
I looked up to the being that scared me half to death. “Who are you?” my voice trembled.
“Why are you here?” he asked me.
“I was just here to walk around and get out of the house,” I answered him, he helped me get off the ground.
His hair was a brownish red color and messy. He had the most beautiful God like face that I have ever seen. It was hard to believe that he was real or maybe even human. But he didn't seem human like everyone else . . . except for Conner and his family. The boy seemed at least a year older than me, but in his topaz colored eyes seemed to have some wisdom in them. He was pale and lean like Conner. I couldn't imagine who was more gorgeous, either Conner who I love dearly or this boy before me.
He stayed quiet, looking at me seriously. He then looked over at the beasts that were snarling at each other. I followed to where his eye sight went to and thought of what was going through his mind. I didn't notice, but human looking beings were fighting the beasts as furiously as they could. Their strength seemed to match perfectly against one another. Nothing came to me for a while. I didn't understand anything of what the hell was going on. I knew that the human and beautiful creatures weren't human, but the beasts confused me. “You should leave this place. Since one of those things knows your scent, you're not going to be as safe as before,” he told me, pushing me towards where I entered. “Go before they realize you're gone.”
I looked at the fighting monsters for a while before running away. I ran as fast as I could, hoping that the terrible beasts of the darkness wouldn't notice I had left. I tripped a lot from running over logs and large rocks. I even cut myself as I fell. I didn't know where I was going, but I didn't care, as long as I was away from those things, I' ll be safe for at least a little while.
I got to my car, cuts and bruises decorated me all over. I started the car without giving myself a breather and drove away as fast as my car could go. I took deep breathes as I drove through the maze of trees, I turned the radio onto a station of calming music. It turned to an unfamiliar song, but it was soothing enough that my heart began to slow down from the heart attack moment I had in the beautiful spot I discovered.
I was thinking of that boy that got my butt out of that situation. I wanted to know why that boy bothered to save me when he didn't even know me. “Tori, whats wrong?” the familiar soft voice hummed in my mind in concern.
“Yes,” I answered back to him. “I'm ok. There's nothing you need to worry about,” I tried to calm him.
“I've felt your fear for a while, and I —”
“You knew I was in danger and you said nothing about it!?” I interrupted and screamed at him.
“I didn't know whether you were watching a movie and got scared about it or if it was real fear for your life,” Conner told me. “When your heart was beating far too long, I knew something was wrong.”
“I called your name and you said nothing,” I teared up.
“I thought it was a way to talk to me again since we didn't speak last night, so how would I know if you really needed me?” Conner's voice made my mind go blank, it was nice and soothing.
“Would I use your real name if I wanted to talk to you? I use your name if I actually felt fear, or if I wanted to think of something nice before I died,” I said to him as I wiped my tears. I forgot to use my mind to communicate with him, but wither way he could still hear me.
“I'm just glad you're okay. Screw eating more than I should, I'm coming back,” he said, in anger and excitement.
“No, don't. You need to eat more. If my scent is too tempting for you, then you should eat more if you really want to keep me alive. I'm not afraid of you drinking my blood, but I'm saying what you'd tell me in your words,” I lectured him.
“Tori . . . I love you. And I do want to keep you safe, I can last a few months without hunting. I want to secure you both ways,” Conner mumbled as if he was whispering in my ear.
I kept quiet, I knew he loved me, but it still bothered me that he didn't help me out of how to escape if the boy with the messy brownish red hair didn't save my butt. “What's going on in your mind now?” Conner wondered.
“I was thinking . . . did you send a group of vampires to save me? Since luck is never on my side and things like that would never happen.” I told him as I took a turn to my road.
“What? You didn't get out of there on your own?” he sounded confused.
Thoughts began to swim in my mind. “You didn't send a clan of vampires to get me? They just came naturally?” I asked him.
“I didn't send anybody. Can you describe one of them?” Conner asked me.
“I was only focusing on one of them. He had messy brown and red hair, he was pale as you, topaz colored eyes, I think he was at least your height or shorter, I couldn't tell. And he was as beautiful as you are,” I described.
“Oh! That was Edward Cullen. He's an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him in years,” Conner said.
“So he's safe to be around?” I asked him out of curiosity.
“Yea he is. His entire family are vegetarians like me. I follow their way of life. Thats who inspired me to give up on human blood,” Conner confessed.
“Oh wow. So you like them a lot,” I smiled. I was beginning to feel a lot better.
“I do. If it weren't for them to break my habit, you wouldn't be here,” I heard the smile in his voice.
My face formed a smile as well. I drove in silence until I said “I love you,” to him.
“I love you too,” I replied back. He stay quiet again. I could tell that he felt uncomfortable, just from the feeling.
He and I have spoken to one another in our minds for weeks, I could feel the emotions he was feeling.
“Uncomfortable?”
“Yea. Something is on your mind. Would you like to talk about it?” Conner asked with patience.
“I think I know what's bothering you. I had a dream last night that kind of made me jump.”
“What is it about?”
“Its a couple. But it wasn't a normal human couple. It was too dark for me to see, but I could tell that one of them is a vampire. And the woman disappeared. In her place was a huge beast . . .” I stopped there. Thinking of the clan of beasts that nearly killed me back at that spot. “She was a werewolf . . . they were in love with one another. But once the man bit her neck, she became a werewolf and killed him,” I told him, my voice was so quiet that I couldn't even hear myself.
“Thats a dream that doesn't happen often. There's probably a sign. Like a prophecy of some sort that will happen later on,” he told me.
“It's probably not even possible. Werewolves don't exist . . . do they? I mean, there's vampires, so are there other creatures of the darkness?” I asked him. I was already at the front of the house, so once I parked in the lot, I walked to the front and locked the door behind me.
“There are werewolves. They're the natural born enemies of the vampire. A treaty was made between them years ago. La Push is where vampires are not allowed to go. I broke the treaty, but surprisingly no one of the werewolves caught us. But if those beasts were there, I would have started a war, they'd also try to kill you too since they'd find a human with someone like me,” Conner explained when I reached my room.
“I thought vampires didn't have enemies . . . besides humans. But werewolves, I thought they'd be in a different story line,” I told him.
“Nope . . .” he stopped there. I heard the door behind me open then arms was wrapped around me. “We have enemies,” he whispered in my ear.
I looked back at him, he had a smile on his face. His eyes were the dark blue I remembered. I grinned back at him. I turned my torso towards him and gave him a hug. “I missed you,” I mumbled under my breath.
“I missed you too. There were a lot of animals around, so I got the chance to hunt more so I could see you earlier,” Conner smirked before kissing my head.
“So you're not going to be a crank box right?” I let go and looked up.
He rolled his eyes. “ “I won't be a crank box”,” he repeated before chuckling.
I laughed with him and hugged him.
“Do you want to do anything today?” Conner asked.
“After what happened to me!?” I yelled.
Conner stared at me. I could tell he was wondering my mind to find something. And I knew what he was looking for. I shrugged and answered, “Ok,” before laughing.
He smiled and laughed with me. He took my hand and walked me down the stairs. The front door open, and in came bronze colored hair.
“Edward!” I heard Conner yell. Before I knew it, Conner was in front of the boy and shook hands with him.
“It's great to see you Constantine,” Edward's voice hummed around the walls. Edward's eyes shifted to me, his eyes looked kind and wise. But his eyes didn't seem to have enough wisdom like Conner. Conner looks over at me then to Edward.
“Right. Edward, this is my―”
“Girlfriend . . . I see that,” Edward interrupted him.
Conner hesitated for a moment. Conner looked into my eyes, he was walking through my mind again. He was searching for why Edward and I seemed comfortable around one another.
“There's nothing between us Conner. I promise,” I told him.
“You don't have to worry. You already know that I have Bella,” I heard a voice in my mind, but it wasn't Conner's.
“Wtf!” I screamed in my mind. I then heard Edward laughing. I looked over at him, who was trying to catch his breath from laughing. “That was you!?” I yelled at him.
“Maybe,” he chuckled.
“Bastard!” I yelled before punching his arm.
“You know that's not going to hurt me . . .” Edward said teasingly, enjoying my reaction and how I was playing around with him.
“It won't hurt me but at least I'm feeling better,” I told before giving him one last punch.
Conner was laughing most of that time, when he stopped he said “I should of got you two together a long time ago. You guys are fun to watch.”
Edward smiles at Conner. “She is fun to tease,” he chuckled before smiling at me. I looked away seriously and crossed my arms. “So I heard you guys are going out to do something?” Edward asked.
“Yea. You wanna join?” Conner offered.
“Am I allowed to bring Bella?”
“Yea. She's welcomed to come,” Conner answered in enthusiasm.
“I'll see you guys later then. It was nice seeing you Constantine,” Edward looks over at me. He nodded to me. “It was nice meeting you Tori,” he said before disappearing.
“He definitely changed when he found Bella,” Conner shook his head with a smile.
“He was never like that?” I asked.
“Well, he's still the same. But there was loneliness in his eyes before Bella came along. And when he left her a year ago, he became emo. He traveled a lot, but I could feel that he was depressed inside. He wanted to go back to her. When he heard that Bella killed herself, he went to Italy to go and get himself killed by the Volturi. Even though he said he didn't love her anymore, he was willing to go to them to join her in hell, or wherever he thought she may be. But when he was convinced the Bella was alive, he didn't die. But the Volturi were after Bella,” Conner explained.
“Well, they seem fine now. Since he's here and he asked if he could bring Bella along. And how come they wanted her? She's human isn't she?” I asked.
“Yes, she is. But she's different compared to other humans. Edward is a mind-reader, but he can't seem to read her mind. Any power that has to do with the mind doesn't work with Bella. If Edward decides to change her, she'll be stronger than any of us.”
“She's that unique?” I asked.
“Yea,” he was then interrupted by a knock on the door.
I walked over to the door, and there stood Edward and I guessed, Bella. “You're Bella right?” I asked.
“Yea. Are you the new vampire lover?” Bella asked.
She and laughed. “Yea, I guess you can call me that.”
“Are we all ready?” Edward asked us.
“Yea. Car, or should we just run there?” Conner asked.
“Excuse me . . . but girls like us can't run as fast as you guys,” I told them sarcastically.
“You already know that you're riding on our backs,” Conner pretended to glare at me.
I stuck my tongue out playfully. “Yes, I know that.”
Edward wrapped his arm around Bella's waist. He was staring at me until his neck couldn't turn any further. We all walked to the car in silence.
As I drove to an unknown world of my mind, I sang along with the songs I listened to on the radio, or changed the station to find another song I liked that had a guitar in the background. Anything but hip hop or rap will make me happy.
I found myself driving into a dirt road, finding two different paths to explore. One side was a regular hiking road and the other was a road that led to a thick wall of trees, the path to it hasn't been worn by any travelers, or at least less travelers than the regular dirt trail. I gout of the car, the rain dripping on my face. A few drops of rain were trapped on top of my eye lashes, but I didn't really care. I wanted to forget that Conner wasn't going to be with me for the weekend.
I looked at the unworn path in a gaze. It was tempting to get lost in a world that no human being has explored. I took a step toward the dark forest, I wasn't thinking of what I was doing, but I did it anyways. As I took a step under the trees, the rain began to calm down.

“He definitely changed when he found Bella,” Conner shook his head with a smile.
“He was never like that?” I asked.
“Well, he's still the same. But there was loneliness in his eyes before Bella came along. And when he left her a year ago, he became emo. He traveled a lot, but I could feel that he was depressed inside. He wanted to go back to her. When he heard that Bella killed herself, he went to Italy to go and get himself killed by the Volturi. Even though he said he didn't love her anymore, he was willing to go to them to join her in hell, or wherever he thought she may be. But when he was convinced the Bella was alive, he didn't die. But the Volturi were after Bella,” Conner explained.
“Well, they seem fine now. Since he's here and he asked if he could bring Bella along. And how come they wanted her? She's human isn't she?” I asked.
“Yes, she is. But she's different compared to other humans. Edward is a mind-reader, but he can't seem to read her mind. Any power that has to do with the mind doesn't work with Bella. If Edward decides to change her, she'll be stronger than any of us.”
“She's that unique?” I asked.
“Yea,” he was then interrupted by a knock on the door.
I walked over to the door, and there stood Edward and I guessed, Bella. “You're Bella right?” I asked.
“Yea. Are you the new vampire lover?” Bella asked.
She and laughed. “Yea, I guess you can call me that.”
“Are we all ready?” Edward asked us.
“Yea. Car, or should we just run there?” Conner asked.
“Excuse me . . . but girls like us can't run as fast as you guys,” I told them sarcastically.
“You already know that you're riding on our backs,” Conner pretended to glare at me.
I stuck my tongue out playfully. “Yes, I know that.”
Edward wrapped his arm around Bella's waist. He was staring at me until his neck couldn't turn any further. We all walked to the car in silence.
