Baseball game
I was getting used to Edward's nights out, like all of us in the house, after the day we officially met Bella, a couple of days ago, Edward 'visits her' and when I mean visit, I'm referring to watching her sleep at night, I found it amusing, but I never had the curiosity of seen a human sleep, I think that's what make of you the love, not that I know that, I've never been in love, I've never had a mate like the others and now that Edward just found his, I'm alone, not that I'm complaining, but sometimes it gets lonely
I watched as Edward left the house from the cup of a tree, sometimes when I wasn't in the mood of reading, I sat in the highest tree I could find not to far from the house and I relaxed, watching the night sky, listening to the nature and at mornings, I could watch the sun coming up.
It was a beautiful scene.
~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~
"Oh come on! It's gonna be fun!" Alice said for the hundredth time, I stared at her, with arms crossed, Jasper smiling behind her while Emmett raised his eyebrows at me, obviously amused
"No, Alice, I won't go at the same place as Bella, it'll be dangerous for her" that was my response and it was truth, my self-control was good but i couldn't stay close to her for too long before I snap, everyone knew this, Jasper was the same, but at least he had Alice to help him, I didn't want to hurt Bella, I don't hate her, but she hasn't warm to me either, so it's easy for me to hate her one day and be nice at the next.
I was way to stubborn to change my mind, so I ran-sped to my room only to be stopped by Emmett's amused face in front of me
"C'mon, little sis', it's your favorite sport" I frowned and tried to pass by him walking to the right, he stepped to the left, blocking my path, I tried for the other way, but he stepped aside again blocking me again, he smirked and I tried one more time before he grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face Alice, Jasper standing next to her smirked at me and raised his eyebrows suggestively, my eyes widen for a second before tried to run away, Emmett being stronger than me, hold me in place, but not hurting me
"Jasper... " I trailed off in warning, suddenly I felt like going to play baseball with them, I glared at them, Jasper, Alice and Emmett for doing this "If I lose control around Bella, itll be your fault" I pointed at them and left to get ready, I heard them chuckle
"Oh, Lizzy talked to us" Emmett's voice was hear after a couple of seconds of silence
"She's trying, she's been careful" Rosalie said, her heels making 'clinks' sounds as she walked
"Yes, she's having confidence, I'm glad for her, now he have to make sure she knows we are for her, so if suddenly she doesn't talk to you, don't push her, let her come to you" Carlisle's voice was soothing, kind, it remembered me when he first taught me to control my 'gift', it's the same thing he told me when I talked how it worked, he, Edward and Esme, were the people who taught me how to control my thirst and gift in the beginning
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~
We arrived at the field, I jumped down the car with my baseball outfit my hair in a ponytail and a red hat in my head, the weather was perfect for the game and I could relax with the scent of the pure nature out here, it didn't last too much when I felt Bella's scent, I looked to where she and Edward were pulling out of the car, I felt myself relax when I felt Jasper's hand in my shoulder
"If you're calm, I'm calm, please remember you're not the only one who struggles around her" I looked back at him and felt guilty, all the time worrying for me that I completely forgot that Jasper was the same around her, he gave me a look when he felt what I felt
"Don't, don't feel guilty, it's okay" he smiled at me and I felt no more guilt, I gave him a look amd looked down, talking quietly, not making it an order
"Don't do that, please" sometimes, I could figured that if I said please, it didn't count as an order, so sometimes I used it, I looked up and Jasper nodded, I smiled and we walked to the others, both us holding our breaths at the sight of Bella, she walked with Edward to us, Edward watching us making sure we were fine, we nodded slightly.
Emmett and Rosalie were being childish with the baseball bat when Esme saw Bella approach and walked to her
"Glad you're here. We need an umpire" she said to Bella, I smirked and walked next to Emmett, being next to him made me feel I could be in control, he was strong so he could stop me
"She thinks we cheat" Emmett said playfully while we walked behind them, I scoffed playfully
"I know you do, Em, we all do" I nudged his side while Esme chuckled in agreement, I looked back at Bella and tried to smile but I couldn't so I left to the other side with Rosalie.
I was teaming up with Edward, Alice and Emmett against Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle and well, Bella as Referee, I stood in third base, waiting at Alice for the right moment to pitch at Rosalie, who was first.
Thunders in the sky, Alice looking up and then back at us
"It's time"
Rosalie smirking swung the bat to hit the ball Alice sent with too much strength, the bat hitting the ball as the same time a thunder cracked up, Rosalie sped to the first base, I looked back at Bella who now understood why we played in this weather.
The ball was heading really fast to the woods, I was going after it, but Edward bet me on it, so I stood up on third base knowing that he was fast and would catch it before I did, so I expected him, I had good reflexes, so I could know what angle to take the ball, I knew he wasn't going to threw it at me when Rosalie passed by me smirking, I looked back at where Edward left and saw the ball coming to home base, Esme caught it before Rosalie arrived, Bella crouched in the floor and looked at Rosalie, smug
"You're out" I smirked and high fived Emmett
"OUT! YEAH!" He celebrated, I chucked and looked back at the girls, Rosalie looked to us glaring at Emmett, I made an 'uuhh' sound to him teasingly, he looked at me a little scared by Rose, I chuckled
"Oh, babe, come on, it's a game" he said amused, I shook my head and sped back to my place in third base, not before watching how Rose glared at Bella when they stood up from the ground and bumped her shoulder when she passed by her, I tilted my head curiously, But shrugged it off and watched as Carlisle was getting ready to play, I smirked amused and put into position
Alice threw the ball, Carlisle hit it and ran-sped to first base, I watched amused as Edward and Emmett both jumped at the same trying to catch the ball, I ran behind them and jumped myself to catch the ball when they fell and laughed at them while they stood in the ground, I threw the ball with speed and strength to home base straight to Esme, but it was to late, Carlisle was already in there, I scoffed and playfully glared my brothers while they looked at me innocently from the ground
I returned to my position to smirk at Jasper who was next, he locked eyes with me and I raised an eyebrow amused, he smiled cockily and concentrated in Alice
He hit the ball, making it go far away, I followed it with my eyes when Emmett jumped with the help of a tree to caught it and threw to home base, I smirked amused at Rosalie's comment
"My monkey-man"
Rosalie's turn was next, I ran for the ball this time but stopped myself at the entry of the woods when I heard Alice's frantic voice
"Stop!"
I turned around to see her frightened face, I looked at Edward who tilted his head aside to the woods of where I was going, listening and he looked at me
What's wrong?
I asked him mentally, looking between him and Alice, still in the entry of the woods, then I focused my hearing and heard light footsteps coming towards us, my eyes widened sightly and looked at Edward, he nodded his head towards the others, telling me to head over there, I nodded and I run-sped to stand next to Jasper, who joined the others with vamp speed
"They were leaving, but then they heard us" Alice informed Edward, he walked to Bella and grabbed her upper arm, I crossed my arms and walked behind them
"Let's go" he said
"It's too late" me and Carlisle said at unison, we exchanged a worried look and looked back at the woods searching for a clue to where our unexpected visitors were
"Put your hair down" I heard Edward instructed Bella, I sighed frustrated and exchanged a look with Rosalie, both of us thinking the same
"It won't work" I started quietly, Rose following my idea
"Yeah, I can smell her from across the field" I nodded in agreement, before walking ahead with the others when we heard our visitors, we put ourselves in front of Bella and Edward, protecting her, while they arrived, I heard Edward talk with Bella saying sorry for bringing her here, but I paid no attention and focused at three vampires coming towards us.
There were two males and a woman, the woman was a redhead, one of the men had dark skin and the other was blond, we watched cautiously, Carlisle stepped in front of us as the leader of our clan to greet the strangers
The dark skinned man, I could note, had our baseball ball in his hand, I looked behind my shoulder to see the lovebirds a few steps away from us, I looked back at front and walked to the strangers so they wouldn't walk to much and stepped in front of them in file, I stood between Alice and Carlisle, the dark skinned man raised his hand with the ball, slightly grinning
"I believe this belongs to you" he threw the ball to Carlisle and he caught it mid air, in front of his face and half smiled, I narrowed my eyes at blondy, something was off.
"Thank you" Carlisle said
"I'm Laurent, this is Victoria" the readhead smiled at us "And James" blondy smirked at us tilting his head aside.
"I'm Carlisle and this is my family" Carlisle said motioning us
I looked at the other side of Carlisle and saw Rosalie, Edward and Bella, I had the feeling this would end bad watching blondy, he couldn't stop staring at Edward, I threw him a side glance, worried, but didn't showed it in my face, Victoria was smiling at us.
"Hello" said Laurent
"I'm afraid your hunting activities has caused some of a mess for us" I watched cautiously each one of them, but still had a bad feeling about James.
"Our apologies, we didn't realized the territory had reclaim" James kept staring at Edward while Laurent and Carlisle were talking, I smiled politely at them, to not make it suspicious, Carlisle half smiled.
"Yeah, well we've made prominent resident near by" Carlisle answered
"Really?" Laurent asked looking at James next to him, he only smirked titling his head aside
"Well, we won't be a problem anymore, we're just passing through" he continued and I was relaxing, but looking at his face, I could note he wasn't going to leave anytime soon
"The humans were tracking us, but we lead them east, you should be safe" she started smiling amused and ended 'whispering', I chuckled but no because it was funny, I was nervous, we all were, Carlisle and others smiled slightly
"Excellent" Carlisle told her nodding
"So.." Laurent chuckled "Could you use three more players?" He asked, I knew they were not gonna leave easily, we all looked at Carlisle
"Oh come on, just one game" he said when he noted our silence
Carlisle smiled hesitantly and then smiled at them "Sure, why not? Few of us were leaving, why don't you take their places? We'll bat first" he said and threw the ball to Laurent but Victoria caught it before it hit him, she looked at us smiling smugly
"I'm the one with the wicked curveball" she smirked, I smirked amused and looked at Jasper who stood next to me and Emmett, we both look down smiling while Jasper talked
"Oh, I think we can handle that"
"Uhh" Me and Emmett whistled teasingly looking at Victoria smirking at her, while the others, (Laurent and James) also whistled and clapped, the others laughed
We moved to play but James stood in his place, looking at Edward and Bella, I looked at him before returned with Emmett, nudging him to stop the childishness and shook my head smiling, our playful mode ended when we heard James
"Oh, you brought a snack" we snapped our head to him and headed in front of Bella protectively growling at him, I stood next to her, I knew he was a bad thing
I pushed Bella back gently while the three red eyed vampires tried to grab her, I wasn't going to let the love of my brother die at their hands.
I put no attention at what they said, but I'm pretty sure Edward told them she was with us, they got angry at us to protect a human. I grabbed Bella's hand and squeezed it lightly, to make her heart beat to calm down, being too near her didn't help, she did calm a little and that help me gain control.
They recluntantly left, not before James glared at us, we were still tense, I had Bella behind me and I looked back at her, controlling myself form the adrenaline, I took a deep breath, hearing the others talk
Edward walked to us, he gave me a grateful look and took Bella with him, being far away from here would be a good idea for her, she'll be safe, I looked at the others and all of us left to our home, if Edward it's worried something may happen to Bella, we'll have to help her, after all, she is already family.
