Chapter 12

We decided to follow her as Tanya and Irina couldn't help but think the Cullens were stupid as Irina asked"Why the heck were they going to high school."Eragon snickered and replied, "To 'blend in'."All of them couldn't help but looked at him in disbelief as Tanya spoke"How the fuck are they going to blend in after all our skin is pale white and our eye color makes us stand out like a sore thumb. Also our skin temperature."

Eragon shrugged and replied"I don't whose idea was it. But one thing is for sure because of it the girl Bella found what they are, also it seems a love triangle has formed because Edward left Bella is went into depression and the one to help her out was one of the Shapeshifters Jacob black."

Kate smirked and replied, "Well this keeps getting better and better."Irina added, "It is better than those movies and tv dramas both Tanya and I watch."

Tanya while agreed and said, "If the voulturi finds about the girls and shapeshifter's the Cullens are in big trouble.No matter how much Aro values Alice and Edward's abilities he cannot turn a blind eye to this as Caius will not allow it."

Eragon and others reached not too far from the meadow as I had already used my magic to keep us from being found as we watched

Bella steps into the clearing, hopeful face falls seeing meadow is cold, gloomy, cloudy. And no Edward. She closes her eyes, trying to force Edward here. Nothing. Her eyes open on the empty, overcast meadow. Bella sinks to her knees. She started tearing up seeing that Edward was not here and the state of the meadow.

Kate was confused and questioned, "What is she crying for?"Eragon replied, "It seems this was Edward and her's private spot, and well she had hoped Edward would be here and It seems this clearing was used to be blooming with flowers now well..."

Kate understood as Eragon sensed Laurent coming as informed everyone"Laurent is near."

Well, it didn't take long as Laurent started to play around with Bella by making rustling noise in one direction then another. This only makes Bella more afraid as she doesn't know what it is She spins toward it nothing. Then she turns and jumps when she finds Laurent standing just ten yards away.

Bella can't believe it as she spoke"Laurent?"Tanya looked at the girl in disbelief and said"Why is she happy to see him that is human blood drinking Vampire?"

Laurent simply said"Bella".She beams, realizing he's real as Laurent said"I must admit, I didn't expect to find you here."Laurent begins to stroll in a slow arc around her, his eyes assessing her as he said"I went to visit the Cullens, but their house is empty. I'm surprised they left you behind. Weren't you sort of a pet of theirs?"Bella's smile falters, fear beginning to dawn on her as she replied"Yeah you could say that."

Laurent questioned, "Do the Cullens visit often?"

Eragon looked at Bella while using Telepathy found out the girl is crazy as he spoke"The girl is hallucinating about Edward helping her."

Irina found it ridiculous as she asked"What?"I nodded and replied, "It seems she is having rather vivid hallucinations of Edward helping her. Like now she sees a ghost-like apparition of Edward giving her courage and advise."

Kate whispered, "She is as crazy as Edward it seems."

Bella replied to Laurent" Absolutely. All the time."She quickly added, "I'll tell them you stopped by. I probably shouldn't tell ....Edward since he is very protective."

Laurent with a grin Questioned, "But he is far away isn't he."Bella gathering courage asked, "Why are you here."Laurent smiled and answered," I came back here as a favor to Victoria."

Bella in fear muttered"Victoria."Laurent shrugged and explained, "She asked me to see if you are still under the protection of the Cullens. She feels it's only fair to kill Edward's mate, given he killed hers. Eye for an eye, mate for a mate. Also, I have to vent some slight frustration I have against the Cullens so you are perfect. "

Bella was confused and asked, "What do you mean?"Laurent with slight anger replied"I went to the Denali coven who are friends with the Cullens.I planned to woe one of the two who had no mates or companions. But they rejected me without even giving chance although I was never going to follow their diet. But their luxury lifestyle is what attracted me to them. Their doubts about me could only happen if the Cullens informed them about me."

Kate with anger said"So the Bastard never had planned to follow our diet even wanted to trick us. But he just wanted to enjoy our lifestyle."Tanya was also glaring at Laurent as she muttered"If not for Eragon we would have invited him without knowing any of this."

Irina added her thoughts"Given his silver tongue one of us might even taken him as a companion."While they soon saw Bella threaten him"Edward will know who did it and he will come after you"

Lauren smirked and replied, "I don't think he will after all how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected."Laurent in fake sadness said, "Victoria won't be happy about me killing you. But I can't help myself you are so mouth-watering."

Eragon could shake his head in disappointment and think"What is Carslisle even thinking leaving the girl behind like this."

Suddenly, he's standing inches from her. She now looks at him in fear as Kate sade"Let's intervene this show is gone long enough."

Eragon nodded as his hands glowed green as Laurent was unable to move as he tried forcing himself seeing nothing working he asked"What is this? Why can't I move...?"

Bella was confused but was ready to run but she 4 people come out of the forest as she couldn't help but ask"Who are you?"
