Chapter 8: The Thirst
Beta: Vintagejgc
"Don't you ever get sick and tired of staring at me?"
He shrugged. "Not really."
I sighed. I did not stare back. I have had enough of his incessant staring. I stood up and realized that I am completely naked. My clothes ripped to shreds on the floor.
"Um, Edward? Any chance you could find me some clothes?"
"I'm sure Alice has something. I will be right back."
My eyes followed as he walked through the door and then my eyes caught something else. A mirror...
In this full length mirror, I saw someone unfamiliar. What is this? Some type of fun house mirror? The girl in the mirror mimicked me. My feet had never been this cute. My thighs were certainly not this slim. My stomach, never this flat. My boobs... Well, I can't say they have ever been this full or perky. Kind of a nice surprise.
My eyes... Mother fucking shit, my eyes are red, just like Edward's. Freaking out. I am about to freak out. I don't recognize myself. I feel like I am trapped inside someone else's body. I could feel myself sink to the floor. My breathes coming heavy, my sanity floating away. This is too fucking much. A knock at the door startled me. I found myself huddled next to the couch, growling slightly. Edward came into the room with clothing in his arms. He put the clothes on the couch and then huddled next to me.
"Bella?"
I couldn't look at him. I kept my stare at the reflection.
"Edward, is there something wrong with your mirror?"
He looked confused for a moment and then laughed.
"I take it you saw your reflection?"
"Um yeah. Why are my eyes red? What is up with your eyes? Black, gold, red; any other colors I should know about?"
"No, no other colors. Let's get you dressed and I will explain."
He better start talking and soon. I am getting impatient, very impatient.
He held up a pair of jeans and motioned for me to step in.
"I think I can dress myself."
He chuckled and then handed me the jeans.
As I held them, my fingers began to rip through the hem at the waist. Determined, I put my foot in and they ripped right down the middle. Before I could even look up, another pair of jeans was thrown at me and Edward was laughing. Smug fucker.
I used only my fingertips this time, being careful enough not to rip them. I held them gently and again ripped them right through the crotch as I put my foot in. Growling again.
"Would you please let me help you before you rip right through ever piece of clothing Alice bought for you?"
I sighed and nodded. How embarrassing. I can't even dress myself. He pulled a sweater over my head and guided my hands through the sleeves.
"Pants are a little tricky. Why don't you lye down and I will pull them over you?"
I grimaced. "Fine, fine." I lay down and waited. "Do it already and stop fucking laughing."
He was smirking as he buttoned the jeans. He hovered over me for a moment
"Come on Edward." I rolled my eyes but he didn't move. So I nudged him. He sailed across the room, but to my dismay he landed on his feet. Still smirking, he walked back to me with a look on his face that told me he was horny as fuck.
"No. No. No. Don't give me that sexy face right now. You have some major fucking explaining to do. Now sit your ass down and start talking."
He sighed and sat down.
"My family and I are vampires living here in Forks, trying to appear human."
"Tell me something I don't know. Oh, and you guys don't blend in well at all."
"Thank you for that observation. Listen Bella, you have to understand that we are not your traditional vampires. We do not feed off human-"
I cut him off. "Oh Really?"
I pointed to the bite marks on my neck.
"That's different. I'll explain that later, but we don't normally drink human blood. We only hunt animals. We consider ourselves vegetarians."
You have got to be kidding me...
"Vegetarians huh? Now I get the joke." I shook my head. Then as soon as it occurred to me. I whipped my head in Edward's direction.
"Wait, do I have to drink..."
Oh god no. Hell fucking no.
"Yes, you will have to drink blood."
"I can't kill an animal. I didn't when I was human and I don't want to now. That would be fucking cruel. Can't we just rob a blood bank or something? I mean, your dad is a doctor right? He must have some way to get-"
"No. Carlisle is a doctor because he enjoys helping the sick. Donated blood is off limits."
I was scowling. Just the thought of blood is making my throat burn. I tried swallowing, but it offered no relief.
"You're thirsty."
"Yeah, can you get me some water?"
He laughed. "You are not thirsty for water. That dry burn in your throat is a different kind of thirst and there is only one thing that is going to make it go away."
I was growling again. What an odd thing. I growl uncontrollably whenever I get upset. Kinda freaky… Now I know that Rose really wasgrowling at me in the department store.
"Bella, I know that you have to be hurting right now. Newborn thirst is vicious. I remember."
"Did you just call me a newborn?"
He cocked an eyebrow and smiled. "You are a newborn vampire."
I didn't like that. It made me angry. More angry than I should be. I despise the fact that the word implied that I am helpless and needy.
"You would know." I replied.
I leaned toward him. He leans in slightly too. This jackass thinks I am going to kiss him. He is so wrong.
My arms flew up and with the greatest care I grabbed the collar of his shirt and oh so carefully pulled him even closer, so that our lips were almost touching.
"Just don't think you can treat this newborn like a child. Now back the fuck up and keep talking."
He leaned back slowly and I started hearing laughing. Two, no three people laughing.
"Who is that?"
"Rose, Emmett and Alice. They are upstairs."
"Upstairs? They sound like they are right outside the door."
"You are going to notice that your hearing, sight and sense of smell are greatly heightened. If you really listen, you can hear the cars on the freeway from right wear you are sitting."
"The freeway? How far are we from it?"
"About nine miles."
Hold the damn phone. Nine? Nine miles? Well, fuck me gently with a chain saw. That is unbelievable.
"Have they been listening the whole time?"
"Sure have. They are quite amused by you."
"Ah yes, I am a real comedian and this is a real hoot, but I need more information. Talk to me about my eyes."
"You still have blood running through your system. Human blood makes our eyes red."
"And your eyes? From my blood?"
He nodded.
"The gold?"
"Animal blood causes that."
"Black?"
"That happens when we are thirsty."
"Okay. How long do I have to deal with these evil eyes?"
"A month give or take. The more you feed on animals, the quicker it will turn to gold."
I winced. Drinking the blood of animals was sounding worse and worse. Dammit Edward. You dragged me into a world were I have to kill to survive. The thought sickens me.
"Any other weird shit I should know about?"
I sighed.
"Well, we don't need to breathe."
"What? I'm breathing right now."
"Yes, but you don't need to. You're doing it because it feels natural. Stop breathing. See what happens."
So I did. I waited. But the uncomfortable tightness in my chest never came. I sat here and stared at the wall. It was like there were telephoto lenses strapped to my eyes. I could see every detail of the plaster. The tiny bumps and imperfections were magnified. Who knows how long I stared at the wall for. I hadn't breathed once the whole time.
"That is odd." I took a breathe and shuddered.
"You won't sleep."
"What do you mean I won't sleep? Do you guys hibernate or something? OH god, please do not tell me you take naps in coffins."
He laughed. "No coffins. We just don't sleep ever. We don't need it apparently."
"Do you ever get tired?"
"Not at all."
I jumped when I heard the knock at the door. I scurried to the corner of the room and I crouched. I feel a sudden rush, but I am also pretty fucking unstable at the moment. I take a deep breathe. I will breathe if I want to. It feels good.
I am done with lacking control. I stand before Alice steps into the room. With a smile she pulls in Jasper. He is looking pretty pissed. I'm getting a bad vibe from him. He creeps me out, a little. Right after him, enters Emmett. This guy is big. His sheer size should intimidate me, but I find myself wanting to tell him to fuck off. I feel like I could take him. I smile. Not right now. Not yet...
Alice leads Jasper in. "Hey Bella. You look great. Edward's been filling you in on all of the details?"
"Yeah, but he is not finished yet. I have more questions."
"We will get to that later. We need you to hunt. You will feel better once you've been satisfied." Edward said as he came over and took my hand.
I didn't move. The thought was disgusting me. I truly don't want to hunt. I stand my ground as Edward tries to pull my arm.
"Come on Bella! I know how it sounds, but I think you should try it." Emmett said. "Do you realize how fast you can run now? How strong you are? It is easy. I think you will like hunting. It makes you feel powerful." He smiled and winked at me. What is with the Cullen men winking at me?
This throat problem of mine is just getting worse and worse. Annoying as hell. I can't help but rub my neck. "Fuck... I'm thirsty."
Emmett is now cackling. It wasn't that fucking funny...
"Bella, you have a horrible mouth." He says in between laughs.
I smile. "Thank you."
"Seriously, during your change; you would have sudden outbursts of shouting an obscene amount of four letter words." Emmett was still laughing.
Alice was laughing too. "He is right. My favorite was when you screamed fuckaduck."
Edward got up and rolled his eyes as Emmett said, "You called Edward; Fuckward. That was genius. I learned so many new phrases from you Bella. Thank you."
"There is more where that came from." I sneered.
Emmett went to Edward and whispered in his ear. My super vampire hearing was no match for his low voice.
"You are going to have your hands full with this one Edward." He put his hand on Edward's shoulder. "I hope she doesn't hurt you too bad. Remember, it's better if you stay on top, for now. Or maybe take her from behind, you'll have more control."
Edward pushed him off. "Shut it Em."
"Wow, Fuckward. I would think you'd be a bit more relaxed after-"
He punched Emmett in the arm and Emmett laughed and punched him back. They stared at each other for a moment before Edward punched him again. This time sending Emmett a few feet backwards. They were growling at each other.
"Jesus Christ. Both of you need to calm the fuck down." Jasper yelled.
I laughed and they all looked at me. I wasn't sure why I was laughing, but it didn't matter. My mood has taken a good turn and I am not going to question it. This is much better than confusion and annoyance.
"How are you feeling Bella?" Jasper asked.
"Good. I feel really good right now." I smiled at him. His expression was still cautious. I stepped toward him and he began to back up. Was he afraid of me? His honey eyes were all too serious. He stared at me. I didn't like it, but I felt like someone had just slipped me a valium. I feel relaxed. I doubted Edward's statement that vampires didn't sleep, because right now, I almost feel like I could take a nap. I walked back down to the couch and sat down. I put my head back and closed my eyes.
"Maybe you should ease up on that Jazz." Edward suggested.
From my daze, I spoke. "Ease up on what?"
"Edward didn't tell you?" Emmett asked. "Jazz is Emo."
"Huh?"
Alice replied. "Some of our kind possess special abilities. Jasper has the ability to manipulate emotions."
I whipped my head up and looked at his guilty expression. "So, you are responsible for this weird feeling of tranquility?"
He nodded. "Are you ready to hunt?"
"No, I want to just sit here."
"Hey Jazz, why don't you give her some ambition?" Emmett joked.
Damn Emmett was getting on my nerves, but I was too distracted by being relaxed to care.
"Special abilities huh?" I sat up straight. Alice winked at me. "You have one too?"
"Yes. I am psychic. I have visions of the future."
"No fucking way. That is crazy. Anyone here into telekinesis? Raise my hand."
Everyone chuckled and Alice walked over to Edward and pushed him toward me. "Tell her." She whispered to him.
"Tell me what?"
"She wants me to tell you about my gift."
"Well? What is it?"
"I can read minds."
"Whoa, you can read my mind? All this time, you have been able to know what I am thinking?"
Calm gone. Embarrassment beginning. This sucks. No one should be able to hear what is happening in my mind. I feel violated.
"No."
"What the fuck is that suppose to mean? You just said that you could read minds."
"I can, but I have never been able to read yours. Your mind is silent to me."
Relief. I do not want that shiny bugger in my head. A mind reader… This just keeps getting stranger and stranger. I swallowed again and rubbed my neck.
Edward came to my side and then put his hand to my cheek. I liked the warm feeling of his hand. It was so soft as it glided down my cheek and to my chin.
"Please Bella, hunt with me. Your throat must be killing you."
"How can it be killing me if I am already dead?"
"I guess you really are forever sarcastic."
His smile was infectious. I smiled and I still felt good, but in the back of my mind I feared the hunt. I didn't want to kill anything, but this horrid pain in my throat was driving me toward doing anything that would make it go away. Edward brought his other hand up and cradled my face.
I opened my mouth to speak, but I didn't know what to say. I was afraid.
"Will you help me?" I whispered.
"Of course I will. Now, come love. Let's get you fed."
Again with the calling me love… As we began to move towards the door, I started thinking. He better fucking help me. I don't know how I am going to bring myself to do this. I am going to make Edward do this for me. It is the very least he can do, and then I thought of a joke…
Why was the vampire considered simple minded?
Because we was a complete sucker…
