The Park (Follow up of Made from the Shade)

With the Amazing Emmett

Emmett sped up, but Alice still passed. Emmett honked is horn loudly. "The people living hear much think we are teenagers", he said laughing. Rosalie bursted out in laughter unlike usually. Rose was never this happy. But when Emmett hugged her, she finally remember what it felt like in her human life, when she was happy. Emmett had finally brought out the happy part of her. He was happy too. Emmett could see Edward's Volvo in the distance, so he sped up to Alice and Jasper.

He was about to pass, but then a car came. They all came to a stop. There were here. No one was here at the moment. They all parked. Emmett laughed when he walked to Carlisle.
"What?" Rose had said for the millionth time.
"Of, it's just a big line of expensive cars", he said. He smiled at her.

Alice made a three point turn, the yellow Porsche facing the road. She got out, leaving the keys in the ignition. Jasper opened her door, she hadn't even noticed that he had gotten out. HE offered her his hand and she took it.
"Why, thank-ya kindly." She said, her southern accent thick and very fake sounding. He smiled and 'helped' her out of the Porsche. She 'dragged' herself onto the hood of the yellow car and sat cross legged on it.
"Emmet, you drive like a slug." She said as he and Rose got out of the jeep. Jasper chuckled as he leaned against the side of the car, his arms crossed over his chest, as if he wanted to look serious. He failed sadly with that smile on his face.
"So.. How long do we have to wait?" He asked casually, and quietly. His voice was fast, probably to fast for Bella to understand.
"I don't know long, if I'd known that I would have made sure we got here just in time.." She replied, her voice quiet but slower.
The sound of an engine roared, coming from the other direction.
"I think they may just about be here.." Alice replied, her good mood dampening, just a little.

[[Rose][Melody][Jane][Sam]]

Rose walked over to where Alice was sitting and climbed up. She fell back down, but Emmett helped her back up laughing. "That's not funny", she said laughing. She sat with Alice. "So, do you think it's them?" Rose asked. She looked at Alice, then Emmett who was smiling. "Hopefully soon, since there is no one here right now", Emmett said loudly and laughed his boomy laugh. Rose turned back to Alice. "Do you think it's going to be hard to defeat them if they want to fight?" Rose asked. Rose walked away before they could answer. She walked over to where Carlisle, Bella, Edward and Esme were. "Hello", she said sweetly. Esme looked confused. Rose was acting a little weird. "Hello", they all said. "So how long do you think we will be waiting?", she asked.

[Edward]

ooc| I'm backing up a little. Zo needs a little Edward one-on-one.


I opened the passenger door for Bella before she even reached the car. I made sure she had all her limbs inside before I shut the door soundly and I very swiftly and quickly went to the drivers side and started the car all seemingly in one split second.

My movements were quick and hard. I was tense. I could not stand Carlisle's way of thinking that Bella would be safer taking her with us. She is all that mattered in my life... and if I lost her...

I muttered a quite colorful string of profanities all quite destined for Carlisle, though here would never hear them. I hoped Bella did not understand a word I had just said. Cursing infront of girls was very impolite.

I started the car and floored the gas pedal, making a U-turn as the tires screeched. The car came to a stop as I faced the proper direction and I floored it again. Stupid car... I should have taken another.

The silver Volvo climed steadily to 60mph in about twelve seconds. I pushed it still, until we hovered at around 112. I wondered when Bella was going to ask me to slow down. My silence was even grinding on me.

[Zo♥ [Bella]]

I was literally smiling on the inside, half afraid but thankful that I was getting to go along on this. Edward did not look quite so happy. I knew what he was thinking about. The last time I was in Pheonix had not been a good time for either one of us. He helped me into the Volvo, taking the time make sure I was properly in and then was around in the driver's side before I had heard the door on my side click shut. I swallowed hard, now realizing we were actually going. What if these vampires were hostile. No one had made any mention as to good or bad. What if...someone got hurt?

I looked at Edward, his perfect face unhappy. He was muttering something, but I could not hear despite the only other noise being the engine's quiet pur. But I bet it had something to do with me going. Besides, I would have come anyway. I wouldn't be left behind anymore. I watched the speedometer rise, until it hovered about 112, but I didn't dare look out the window. "Edward, slow down!" I said, reaching across and putting my hand on his shoulder.

"I know you aren't happy about this..." I started. "But I am glad I'm going." I looked down at my jeans, and then at my sneakers. I didn't dare meet what ever gaze he was giving me. Knowing Edward, it was probably bad. "But Carlisle has a point. Everyone needs to be there...and no matter how much I don't like it, you have to be there too." I frowned.

I didn't want any of them facing these unknown vampires. Especially not Edward. He was my whole life...and if I lost him today, or ever it would be...the end of everything. Just like...when... he left me. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. I didn't try to dwell on that, because then Jake would come into my thoughts. And I tried not to think of my werewolf best friend anymore. I was almost a married woman.

[Edward]

We were nearly there... I saw a sign indicating that the park were heading to was close though I did not need the sign to know. My big yellow gift to Alice, with Alice and Jasper inside, crept up to my fender. I could see through my rear-veiw mirror, with this amazingly huge grin on her face, and she was enjoying herself.

"Edward, slow down!" My love shouted at me. I ignored her request and continued on Alice.

Why? What was there to enjoy about this sitation. I understood, from her thoughts, that just getting to take the Porche out -though Carlisle asked her not to drive it in town- made her estatic... She had better help me keep an eye on Bella.

"I know you aren't happy about this..." She started. "But I am glad I'm going." I glared down at her. But my anger was not for her. It was for the stupid, rediculous danger she drew in... and the amplifier that I am. Bringing these monsters from all over to her. "But Carlisle has a point. Everyone needs to be there...and no matter how much I don't like it, you have to be there too." I felt like my eyes could burn her words to ashes.

But I knew better. I knew she was thinking about the danger we're going to be putting ourselves in the moddle of. I wondered if -it was agony to think of the concept- if I had never met Bella if we would even be finding ourselves here. On the road, meeting a handful of vampires we know nothing about. Could most certianly be bringing doom down on all of us. I wondered if we would have stayed put and not really shown much concern.

I was 100% on this idea compared to my other scenerio. I realized the pain was clear on my face as I thought about if my world were Bella-less and quickly erased the expression. Instead, I looked down at her and smiled. It was the stupid little half smile... but the ways her eyes always lit up when she saw this particular expression... I loved it. It elated me.

We were there. The small parking lot of the park. I pulled into a parking spot gently. Then sighed. My hands did not leave the steering wheel.

[Kaleigh]

Alice didn't need her talent to know the other coven was close. She glanced over at the Volvo, just ablt to see Bella and Edward on the inside, the reflection of the trees and the clouds on the windshield was pretty bad. Edward still didn't look happy - though the maybe five minuite drive had been pretty enjoyable, for Alice anyways.
"Get out of the car Edward, their almsot here." Alice called, though she may as well have been talkign to Jasper for how loud it was. Edward would probabyl still hear it.
Don't be in a mood. We're all ready, to meet these Vampires and to protect Bella. She thought as she watched Rosalie, she seemed in a perticularly good mood today. Alice wondered why as she turned her copper colored eys to the road, wonderign when the two black cars would coem into view.

OOC: 8Sigh* You know this would help if the other Coven made a post..

[[Rose][Melody][Jane][Sam]]

OOC: Yeah. I'll post after they do. I don't have anything good too say at the moment.

[Aries]

ooc| Waiting on Bella. Then I have another Andaire post I am still trying to figure out just how to enter...

[Zo♥ [Bella]]

I smiled when I looked up again; he was smiling my favorite crooked smile. I bit my lip, almost nervous that he wasn't yelling or anything about this. He was too quiet. There had to be something else bothering him. When the car parked he did not release the steering wheel. My hands reached up to touch his face, letting my impulses drive me without second thought. His hands still gripped them. "I love you, my lion." His face was cold, as always, under my skin. I strated to retract my hand, and reached for the door handle...intent on getting out. I could almost feel their eyes on the car window...they must be wondering what exactly we were doing.

"Come on. I said, sliding my legs out. I paused half in, and half out. "Let's go. The sooner this is over with...the better." I tried to smile, and got up much to quickly. I managed to catch my head on the door, causing me to sink back down with a huffed sigh. "Ow!" I muttered, my fingers probing my skull. I blushed, my face growing hot. Only I could manage something like that.

[Edward]

ooc| LOL! My boyfriend couldn't figure out why I wouldn't stop giggling, reading your post.


I nearly burst into laughter! I tried so hard not to. I could not hide my amusement... the klutz.

But before she could do anythign to storm off without me. Put distance between us when I needed her chained to me. I took her frusterated and red face in my hands... her warm, soft skin. So tempting.

I kissed her. At first I meant it to be just a soft embrace. I let myself get away. I kissed her hard. Nearly gasping. My lips moving over her soft form...

Them there eyes... an odd tune, one I have not heard since the 1930's burst into my head.

I froze. I pulled away from her. My hands still holding her blushing face securely. I gazed into her beautiful eyes for one, brief second. Then I was out of the car, on the passenger's side. Grabbing her hand to pull her from the car.

My face no longer carried any playful ambiance... My seriousness carved in stone. The other's...

... are here.

[Zo♥ [Bella]]

I turned a deeper red as Edward laughed at me. I shook my head, angry now. He should know better. But before I could do anything about getting up and walking away, he took my face in his hands. My skin prickled as the cold met it. He leaned in, and I was ready for him. His lips touched mine, softly at first and then more heated after a moment. I was glad to give in, the electric shock making my current thoughts a puddle of mush. My lips, and hands were almost as greedy as his when he...froze. I wrapped my arms around him, in hopes to keep him prisoner. I didn't care about the danger on its way. But my strength was no match for his and he pulled away.

I growled under my breath. He shouldn't get my hopes up like that. He was outside at my door before I could do another thing, and he pulled me out by my hand. I let my fingers curl around his cold palm. His face was like it was carved out of some serious marble. They were almost on us now. "I love you." I whispered knowing..him and probably all of his family could hear me say it. I didn't care. I gave his hand a gentle squeeze, just as my heart did.

Billie Holiday was finishing up her song when I felt something tugging in my skull. I waited. Something happened.... Then my eyes widened with reconition. The others.

It did not have the same signature. The presence in my head was different than the one I had sought earlier.

These thoughts whizzed through my brain in an instant. I realized then... I put my foot on the break pedal. Slammed it really. The wheels of the Lotus locked up and my car spun to the side, stopping in the perfect position. Perpendicular to the road, staring, right through my windshield of what looked like eight figures staring back it me.

I felt... obsurd. To have all these eyes staring at me. After my silly stunt with the car just now. I probably need to get my breaks checked...

Then I relized why I was getting annoyed. I was so into my own little world of reveries that I had not noticed Leo yelling at me. He was standing with one foot still in the Audi. A hand on the open door.

"Why did you pull a stupid thing like that?!" His voice called to me. I let a bark of laughter escape me. My patience was running thin. Especially with him... I will have to put him back in his place as soon as I deal with this. I restarted my car, it had stalled when I breaked.

Leo, confused and frusterated watched me as he still stood there- as I boldly drove up to the awaiting group. It seemed to me as if that was what they wanted. I saw Evelyn out of the corner of my eye grab Leo's pant's pocket and tug on it. She looked clearly embarassed for his behaivior toward me. The Audi followed me in.

I parked my car. As did Leo... he parked my other car. I will have to enforce that one again too. With my deep, nearly black eyes... I watched those who watched me. I watched the bronze-haired one step defensively infront of a female figure, a human girl... staring at me with a rage that he had no grounds to have toward me. I stayed in the car, calculating.

The others were more enthusiastic... marginally. Aislinn pushed Lyra and Evelyn out of the car so she could get out. All fiesty five feet of her, with her long red very curly hair that extended pass her backside blowing slightly in the wind, bounced up to the others so bravely. She was all smiles. Her bright golden eyes flashed vibrantly. I watched her... I did not smile. All traces of my amusement gone.

Everybody was out of the Audi now. But the others did not leave the cars side. Emily's eyes growing round with surfacing terror darted from Aislinn to me, still sitting in the silent car. She looked terrified and Vivian held her hand.

"Hello there!" Aislinn called out the the strangers as she bound up to them. She made sure to leave about thirty yards distance between them. Her good mood did not make her completly unaware that she could be walking into total danger. "We're just passing though." Her Irish accent heavy with every word. "You gave us quite a surprise. We were not expecting anybody of our kind. Let alone so many." She eyed them, trying to be friendly and warm. Though, I knew her too well. I saw the nervousness and apprehension in her gestures.

With The Amazing Emmett

Rosalie looked at the group of vampires. She looked over at Emmett who was all excited about hopefully a big vampire fight. I groaned at the thought. I loved fight in all. But not now. Rosalie walked over to Emmett's side. "Hello, Welcome to Forks", Emmett said in his booming voice, maybe trying to scary them down. I looked over at him and he flashed his really sweet smile that I had seen his flash that morning on the way. Rose looked back at the intruders. "Hello", she said in a babyish voice. Everyone was watching her now.

[Zo♥ [Bella]]

Edward moved to block me from view as the group approached. I hissed in protest, and peered around one side of him. From what I could see, Alice was right. Seven of them. Six of them had golden eyes that I was familiar with, but one had those flat black eyes, like Edward had when I had first met him. Odd for me to think of that at a time like this. I gripped the back of Edward's shirt, trying to pull him close to me. My eyes searched the heavens, as I sent a silent prayer up. "Don't let this go bad. Please..."

I let my eyes wander to the rest of the Cullens. Emmett had spoken back to one of the golden eyed females. She had curly red hair, somewhat like Victoria. I tensed, waiting, my heart fluttering a million miles an hour. I tried to calm myself, taking quiet deep breaths. It would be alright. We would see what they were doing, and send them along. Right, just like you did with James, Laurent, and Victoria." A little voice said bitterly.
