Mystic Bonds

Chapter Two

The Party

(Bella's View)

I looked at Edward as he drove the car to his house. I didn't know what was going on. God, I hope there isn't a birthday party for me. I didn't want to party. I notice that I was being looked at. Not only that, but I looked at him. Yes, I was right. He was staring at me. "Edward, why are you staring at me?" I saw Edward smile. "I can't tell you. You will have to wait until we get there," said Edward. I let out a small sigh.

We pulled up to Edward's house. For some reason, I felt a little nervous. I didn't know why. We got out of the car and headed inside. Edward looked to me and spoke. "Bella, please don't get mad. But, well, they wanted to." We walked downstairs, and I saw everyone there. Then I notice the gifts. Oh, no. They made me a birthday party. There was cake and a lot of gifts. Carlisle smiled at me. Esme came up to me. "Bella, Happy Birthday," said Esme. I smiled, and Esme hugged me. At this point, I didn't know what to say. Alice came up to me with a gift in her hand. "This is for you," said Alice. I smiled once more and looked at the gift. I started to open the gift. That was until I cut my finger. I stared at my finger. Blood dripping down. Blood hit the floor.

I saw Edward getting uneasy. I looked up and noticed Jasper was looking at me with hungry eyes. Jasper came at us. I didn't have time to react. Edward pushed me across the room toward the table and wall. I closed my eyes. I was ready to hit the table and wall. But the impact never came. But I still hit something. But it didn't feel like the wall. It also didn't feel like the table. It was soft. I was confused. I open my eyes. Likewise, I looked up and saw Edward standing there with his mouth open. He acted like he saw a ghost or something. I also noticed that Edward threw Jasper into the piano. But that wasn't what got me confused. I felt something around my waist. I noticed that whatever was around my waist was an arm. Likewise, I looked down and saw a pair of arms. I looked up and over my shoulder. I notice a pair of golden amber eyes.

Furthermore, I got lost in them for a second. Until Jasper jumped off the piano and charged at me again. The strange man let me go gently and stood in front of me. Jasper was still coming at us. The odd man didn't say a word. He just lifted his hand. He pointed his hand at Jasper. Jasper stopped moving. It was like he was frozen or something. Carlisle got in the middle of everyone. "Jasper, calm down. Take it easy," said Carlisle. Jasper was trying to calm down. Carlisle looked at the strange man. "Lord Kai. If you wouldn't mind? Would you let Jasper go? He will not attack her," said Carlisle. The strange man nodded his head and released Jasper. Carlisle looked at me." Bella, please come with me," said Carlisle. I followed Carlisle into another room. While walking away, I looked over my shoulder and looked at the man with golden amber eyes. He looked back at me. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat.

When we got to the room, Carlisle looked at me. "Are you okay, Bella?" said Carlisle. I nodded my head. Carlisle was looking at my cut finger. I looked at him. "Carlisle, who was that man?" He stopped what he was doing and looked at me. I heard him let out a small sigh. "That man is an old friend of Esme and me. I have known him for a very long time," said Carlisle. He went back to looking at my finger. I looked at him. I had more questions to ask him. "Why was he here?" Carlisle kept working on my finger. "I asked him to come. He hasn't met Edward and the others. So, that is why he is here," said Carlisle. I nodded my head. But I had one more question to ask. Well, I had two more questions to ask. "Carlisle, I have two questions to ask. My first question is... What's his name?"

Carlisle was finished in my finger. He looked at me. "His name is Kai," said Carlisle. "Kai?" Carlisle was walking to the door, about to walk out, when I stopped him. "I have one more to ask. Why does Kai have golden amber color eyes?" I notice Carlisle froze. He looked at me. "You should ask him that question," Carlisle said right when he mentioned the stranger's name. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat again. I looked around and noticed that Carlisle was gone. "Hmm, where did he go?"

Carlisle stood outside the door. He stood there for a while, thinking. “Hmm. Her heart skipped a beat when I said Kai's name. This isn't good. Carlisle went to his wife, Esme. He smiled. “Is Bella okay?” said Esme. Carlisle nodded his head yes.

(Later That Night)

Normal POV

Edward took Bella home. They didn't say much on the trip back from Edward's house. From the way it looked, Edward was mad and upset, just like Bella. She was confused. Bella got out of the car and turned to face Edward. He put the car in drive and left. Bella entered her home and went straight to her room.

Bella was lying in her bed, trying to fall asleep. But she couldn't.

(Bella's View)

I couldn't sleep. “Why me? Why can't I get what happened today out of my mind?” I got up and went to the window. I looked out. Not only that, but I just stared outside, thinking about today." Why can't I get him out of my mind? I don't know him, and I shouldn't be thinking about him. But those eyes. His golden amber eyes are haunting me.” I went back to my bed and lay down.

(Back To Normal View)

Bella fell asleep, unaware that drama and heartache were on the horizon.
