《Lilliana Swan》Chapter 6
Advertisement
I had fun last night, I mean it was a great movie and the surprise was nice, but in my opinion the ride home was my favorite. When I had got home I saw that Edward was in Bella's bed, but the way they were laying told me that she knew he was there. That night I had finally figured out where I knew that guy from. Jasper had told me that he was picking me up to play baseball. I got dressed and walked down stairs to see Dad cleaning his rifle, Bella coming down after me.
"I have a date with Edward Cullen." Bella said
He suddenly looks like he's having an aneurysm.
"He's too old for you." Dad said
"And Jasper isn't to old for Ana. And we're both juniors. I thought you liked the Cullen's." Bella said
"Thanks Bella." I said
"And I thought you weren't interested in any of the boys in town." Dad said
"Edward doesn't live 'in town' and it's in the early stage and -- whatever, he's outside with Jasper." Bella said
"Now? He's out there?" Dad asked
"He wants to meet you. Officially." Bella said
"Good." Dad said
He cocks the rifle in mock - seriousness.
"Be nice, okay? He's...important." Bella said
"I also have a date with Jasper dad." I said
Dad nods and me and gives Bella a reassuring nod...she then opens the door. Edward and Jasper walked in.
"Chief Swan. I wanted to formally introduce myself. I'm Edward and this is Jasper." Edward said
Edward extends his hand for Dad to shake and he does.
"I have already meet Jasper." Dad said
"I won't keep Bella out late tonight. We're just going to go play baseball with my family." Edward said
"Bella's going to play baseball? Ana I'm not to worried about." Dad said
"Yes, sir, that's the plan." Jasper said
"Well. More power to you, I guess." Dad said
"She'll be safe with us, sir I promise." Edward said
Edward and Jasper leave. Dad stops Bella and I.
"You got that pepper spray?" Dad asked
"Dad." Bella said
She then left
"Watch out for your sister." Dad said
I nodded my head then left the house. I headed to the car. Edward sat in the driver seat and Bella sat next to him. Jasper and I sat next to each other. We drove someplace and got into a jeep. Jasper pulled my hand.
"Hey Edward we will meet you there." Jasper said
He nodded his head and the Jeep drove away.
"I had fun last night we should do that more often." I said
"As you wish." Jasper said
I kissed him, but before he could kiss me back I started running towards the baseball field.
"Catch me if you can." I said
I heard him laugh, I wasn't running as fast as I could have been, just fast enough to be just out of reach, as we got closer to the field I slowed down. I felt his arms wrap around my waist.
"I caught you what's my prize?" Jasper asked
"What would you like it to be." I said
He kissed me we walked backwards and were on the field when I heard Emmett.
"Go get her." Emmett yelled
We stopped kissing and laughed. I smiled at Jasper then I ran so was behind Emmett he looked around. Then he turned around.
"Dam your fast." Emmett said

"And strong." Jasper said
"And smart." I said
A few seconds later Edward and Bella pulled up. The storms cloud keep gathering. I could feel the power they had. I could feel the rain, the lighting, the devastation a storm could cause. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Except Bella and Jasper because they knew why I was looking up at the clouds so content. Esme walks over to Bella.
"Good thing you're here. We need a umpire." Esme said
"She thinks we cheat." Emmett said
"I know you cheat. Call 'em as you see 'em, Bella." Esme said
"It's time." Alice said
There is a deep rumble of the thunder that sounds thought the forest. I can feel the power of the storm. I could hear Rosalie talking to Emmett.
"Is she glowing to you?" Emmett asked
"Yeah I think she is." Rosalie said
"She can draw power from the storm." Jasper said
I just smiled. We all walked onto the field in our teams, brunettes vs the blondes. Rosalie is first up to bat, Alice throws the ball, Rosalie hits the sound of the ball hitting the aluminum bat sounds like thunder,
"Now I get why you need the thunder." Bella said to Esme
The ball shoots into the forest, rocketing through the trees. Edward disappears after it.
"That has to be a home run." Bella said
"Edward's very fast." Esme said
Rosalie runs around the bases, almost a blur Edward races out to the forest ball in and hand and whips it at home plate. Esme catches the less then a second before Rosalie slides into home.
"Yer out?" Bella said
Esme nodded in agreement, Rosalie glared at Bella as she got up. We watched as Carlisle hit the ball. Edward and Emmett race to catch the ball they both jump into the air but miss the ball and hit each other making Carlisle safe. Jasper is up next to hit the ball, He hits it goes deep into the forest. But before Edward could chase after it, Alice gasps.
"Stop. I didn't see them..." Alice said
They all stop. Edward is immediately at Bella's side, and Jasper next to me. The family instantly gather at home place with us.
"They're traveling so quickly-" Alice said but was cut off by Rosalie
"You said they left the county-" Rosalie said but was cut off by Alice
"They did, but then they heard us... (looking to all of us) and changed their minds." Alice said
"Put your hair down-" Edward was saying but was cut off by Rosalie
"Like that'll help. I could smell her from across the field." Rosalie said
Edward ignores Rosalie as he arranges Bella's hair. Jasper's arm tightened around me. He could feel my nerves I was worried that Laurent would say something about who am I or what I did.
"I shouldn't have brought you here. I'm so sorry." Edward said
I could see that she was about ask why, but we all turned are heads to face the forest. We saw three people emerge from the forest. As they near Bella and I can see their bare feet, then the deep burgundy of their eye. Laurent holds up the baseball
"I believe this belongs to you." Laurent said
He tosses the ball to Carlisle who easily catches it and smiles politely.
"Thank you." Carlisle said
"Could you use three more player?" Laurent asked
"Of course." Carlisle said
"I'm Laurent. This is Victoria. And James." Laurent said

Laurent scans the family, he looks at Bella then at me I could as recognition crosses his face. He doesn't say anything.
"Would you like to bat first?" Carlisle asked
Laurent picks up a bat. The Cullen's take the field, Carlisle as catcher, Edward is on first with Bella and I behind him. Bella and I looked up at Edward to see he was looking at James, Laurent is up to bat first.
"I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused something of a mess for us." Carlisle said
"Our apologies. We didn't realize the territory had been claimed." Laurent said looking at me
"Yes, we maintain a permanent residence." Carlisle said
The three newcomers exchange a look of surprise.
"Really? Well, we won't be a problem any more." Laurent said once again looking at me
"The humans were tracking us, but we led them East-" Victoria said proud
Jasper pitches the ball Laurent slams it but Alice is up a tree in a flash and the ball slams into Alice's hand. Laurent is pissed, but James smiles ever so slightly, delighted at the fact that we worthy opponents. James is up next to bat. I step back a little bit and bring Bella back with me. He hits the ball and runs past first, past Edward, past me, past Bella. As the wind from the ball flying though the air, and from the wind of James running. Carries Bella's sent straight to James who screeches to a halt. His head whips around and gets into a crouch, his nostrils flaring, excitedly, eyes locked on Bella.
"You brought a snack." James said
Edward springs in front of Bella, baring his teeth. A truly menacing, feral snarl rips from his throat. James growls back. Great Edward just made a bad thing worse. The rest of the Cullen's quickly come to his side, once again I feel Jasper's arm wrap around my waist.
"The girl is with us." Carlisle said
"Don't you mean girls." Victoria said
"We won't harm her." Laurent said looking at me
"Just try it." Emmett said
"I think it best if you leave." Carlisle said
"Yes, I cane see the game is over. We'll go now. James?" Laurent asked
But James' eyes don't leave Edward's. Laurent puts a hand on James' shoulder, and finally, James backs into the woods with his cohorts, disappearing.
"Get Bella out of here. We'll follow them." Carlisle said
Carlisle, Emmett, and a resentful Rosalie race off after the three vampires. Edward scoops Bella up and runs to the jeep, Jasper and I follow. We load into the truck. I send a text to Sam letting him know what just went down.
"James is a tracker. I saw his mind. The hunt is his obsession, and my reaction set him off-- we're a large clan of strong fighters all protecting on vulnerable humans. I just made this his most exciting game ever." Edward said
The way was driving was scary.
"The first place he'll go is your house. He'll track your guys scent there." Edward said
"What?!? Charlie's there. He's in danger because of me. Because of us." Bella yelled
"Then we'll lead tracker away from him. Somehow." Edward said
I thought of a idea I said to Bella via twin power she agrees so we tell it to Edward who goes along with it. We pull up outside the house.
"I said, leave me alone." Bella yelled
"Bella, don't d this. Just think about it, please." Edward said
"Get out. It's over." Bella yelled
She slams the door. Charlie has gotten out of his chair, baffled and concerned.
"Bella? What happened?" Charlie asked
"I have to get out of this place. Out of Forks. I'm leaving now." Bella said
Bella runs up stairs.
"What happened?" Charlie asked
"I don't know we were playing baseball, everything was fine then when we were headed home they got into this big fight." I said
Bella comes back down the stairs.
"Bella. Did he hurt you?" Dad asked
"No. Dad." Bella said
"Then what? Did he break up with you?" Dad asked
"I broke up with him." Bella said
"I thought you liked him?" Dad asked
"That's why I have to leave. I don't want this. I want to go home." Bella said
"Your mother's not even in Phoenix." Dad said
"She'll come home. I'll call her from the road." Bella said
"You can't drive home now. I'll take you to the airport in the morning." Dad said
"I want to drive. I need time to think. I'll pull into a motel in a few hours. I promise." Bella said
"Bella, I know I'm not around much, but I can change that. We can do more things together." Dad said
"Like watch more baseball on the flat screen? Or go to the Dinner? Same people, same steak, same berry cobbler every night? That's you Dad. Not me." Bella said
You could tell by the look on Dad's face that he took that pretty hard, he recovers fast.
"Bella... I just got you and your sister back." Dad said
"And if we don't get out now, we're going to get stuck here like mom did." Bella said
Dad was stunned, wounded. She walks out of the house and into her truck.
"I'll go make sure she is safe dad I will come back." I said
I left the house and got in my car and headed out after Bella's truck. We drive along at some point Jasper had jumped into my car. Edward had got into Bella's and Emmett was now in the bed of the truck. We pulled up to the Cullen house, we all walked inside and saw Carlisle talking to Laurent. Edward growls and pushes Bella behind him, Jasper does the same.
"He came to warn us. About James." Carlisle said
Laurent looked at me.
"I've grown tired of his games. But he's got unparalleled senses. Absolutely lethal. I've never seen anything like him in three hundred years...and the woman, Victoria, will back him. Don't underestimate her your grace. I hear that this human is your sister this time around. I would hate to be James right now." Laurent said
I stepped up and walked around Jasper, and up to Laurent.
"Thank you for letting us know." I said
Laurent nodded his head did a quick bow then left the house. I turned around and was meet with weird looks from everyone.
"If we make it out of this alive I will tell you how I know him." I said I walked to the garage
"You have some explain to do." Jasper said
"I know and I will answer question you ask." I said
I was followed into the garage. Everyone but Rosalie springs into action, opening cupboards for supplies. They load up thing into vehicles. My phone rings I answer it.
"Your dad just called Billy worried about Bella leaving. Are you leaving too." Sam asked
"No. I'm going to make sure she makes it to Phoenix with out driving off the road or into a pole." I said
"Just be careful, your dad is at Billy's. The rest of us will make sure nothing happens to him." Sam said
"Thanks Sam." I said
"No, problem and when you get back we need to talk about the perks of being your proctor." Sam said
"Of course." I said
I hung up the phone to see Alice, Mason, and Bella getting into a car. I headed towards them when Jasper stops me.
"Please don't do anything to put yourself in harms way. You going with Alice and Mason, as soon as you guys are safe, I will come and get you. I will never let you go again." Jasper said
"I won't." I said
He leaned in and kissed me, it was different it felt like it was going to be the last one for a while. When he pulled away I got into the car. Alice drove off, I could tell Bella needed to sleep. She would probably kill me for this. I out my hand on her head, I played with her energy's till she fell asleep. I knew that James was to smart to follow the fake scent and at some point he would find out it was fake and come for mad. I will protect my family even if it turns me into a monster.

Nights of Sambria: And the Wish of Light
“I discovered a secret. One I desperately wish could have stayed hidden. It was locked away, concealed in a fantastical world on the doorstep of 7 billion people who stayed utterly oblivious to it. If they will be spared the terror that is coming, I can’t begin to imagine. Know that a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. Something listened. And now events are set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. I am being hunted and have run out of time. There were no stories about it. No legends. Not even scribbles. Yet, the threat of it is real and that’s why I’m writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.” She folded the letter with a shuddering breath and stared back in the direction from where the noise reverberated through the halls. It was of stone doors shattering one by one. The chances of getting out safely were all but gone. The letter in her hand was all warning they would have. It dropped into one of the Wells and all that could be done now was hope it was found in time, if at all. -- This was my very first large story. ;) I started writing it years ago. Was fun, was difficult, but in the end, it is a story I hope that will inspire. The prologue is in first person perspective and the rest of the story in 3d. Just a little heads-up :P It is a fantasy epic with a contemporary twist for the start. The first arc of the novel is set inside our modern world, but as the mysterious events around Calin intensifies, the hidden secrets in the world start to become more fantastical. The story follows Calin, a young orphan in search of answers. But, the answers he seeks will change his life and that of his friends forever, for the secrets that caused his situation have far greater ramifications than the small village of Lamb's Crest could have known. Remember to leave ratings and reviews. I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on the story. ;) Enjoy reading, Omri Hope
