Disclaimer: Twilight does not belong to me! But I do own Kyle and Annie!XD
3. The Connection
I met up with my brother and sister at the lunchroom doors after classes.
"Finally! Now we won't be able to get a meza, jedwali of our own!" Annie complained as she led us into the heavy populated lunch gathering for humans.
"Sorry," I mumbled as we each picked up a tray of food. It was pizza——something I've eaten only one time before.
"Hmm . . ." Annie muttered, scanning the lunchroom for available seats——and that's when I sensed them. Two Wanyonya damu were sitting among the humans.
"Guys!" I hissed in a voice too low for humans to hear——and inaudible for the two Wanyonya damu to hear over the roaring crowd of teenagers.
Kyle's nostrils flared, and Annie's eyes grew wide——probably shocked that she didn't pick up on their scent earlier.
I looked up and spotted them sitting at a meza, jedwali beside the windows. One was a tiny girl with graceful complexions, she was pixie-like with short and spiky black hair. The other was male who had a lean, sculpted body with tousled bronze-colored hair.
They were both devastatingly and inhumanly beautiful——as were all vampires.
But then I sensed that they both had rare and definitely unique gifts.
Careful. One is a mind reader, and the other can see visions of the future. I cautioned to Annie and Kyle telepathically——since my venom is within them, we are connected in multiple ways. One is through our minds——we can't read each other's minds but we can speak to each other through them. Which is handy in moments like this.
Kyle and Annie silently nodded——probably trying to keep their thoughts from spilling anything. I followed them as they walked to the meza, jedwali where the two Wanyonya damu pleasantly sat with trays of untouched food.
"Excuse me," Annie alisema timidly, and they both looked up at her with their, shockingly, pure golden brown eyes that were a very light butterscotch color, indicating that they've hunted very recently. Which is wise when being surrounded kwa so many humans . . . but the only Wanyonya damu I've ever known to freely hunt wanyama instead of the preferred humans are Kyle and Annie.
"There doesn't seem to be anymore seats open . . . so can we sit here? We won't be a bother, I promise." Annie spoke politely like a true Southern Bell. Dude! Check out their eyes! Annie shouted inwardly to both me and Kyle.
That's different, Kyle observed.
How strange, I agreed.
The tiny pixie girl smiled while the bronze-haired boy looked at Kyle and Annie's eyes speculatively. As if confused kwa their strange shade of golden brown . . . which is identical to his and the girl's.
Crap! Will he notice anything? But wait, Annie's covering the scent of what we really are——so there's no proof to what we truly are. For all he knows, they could be wearing colored-contacts. Thankfully, my mind is protected from mind readers——so he'll never know, and Kyle and Annie have been specially trained to be ready for anything, which includes mind readers.
"Sure. wewe can sit here, we don't mind," The pixie girl spoke in a high-soprano voice, she seemed to be very friendly, for a vampire.
"Thanks! You're so nice," Annie smiled, becoming her usual self quick as we sat down, me in front of the bronze-haired boy while Kyle took the kiti, kiti cha beside me, and Annie beside him and in front of the pixie girl.
The pixie girl laughed delicately, her laughter sounding like its from a musical instrument.
"You're welcome," she said, smiling non-stop like she was enjoying our company as the bronze-haired boy continued to gaze at Kyle and Annie back-and-forth, completely ignoring me, the true chanzo of it all.
"So my name is Alice Cullen, and this is my brother, Edward Cullen," she introduced, giving each of us a warm smile while Edward simply nodded and then looked out the window.
"Hi Alice and Edward, my name is Annie swan and we're all brother and sister too," Annie alisema in her delightful country accent and gestured for us to introduce ourselves.
"Hey, I'm Kyle," my brother alisema brusquely——no doubt uncomfortable having me so close to two vampires.
"Nice to meet the two of you. My name is Isabella, but wewe can call me Bella," I said, and as soon as I spoke, both of their heads snapped up to meet my eyes as if I had directly called on them.
I forgot that my presence captivates Wanyonya damu (since I'm the chanzo of their upbringing), and my voice holds their attention entirely.
When I met Edward's golden eyes . . . something unraveled inside me, and a bizarre, electricity-like magnet formed between us in that instant. A deep, and strange . . . connection. zaidi than that though, when I looked into his eyes . . . I could see straight into his soul. And what a beautiful, enchanting, mesmerizing soul it was!
Annie was the one to break the chemical silence.
"Man, these kuki, vidakuzi sure are good!" Annie said, and I managed to break away from Edward's intense gaze and stared down at my tray of food. What in the world was that just now? For as long as I've been on this earth, I know I've never felt anything like that before.
Annie promptly chewed on her oatmeal cookie——so, okay, here's the deal with Annie and her eating habits. Even though she is complete, 100% vampire, for some odd, unknown reason, she can eat human food. I don't know if it's because I changed her au what . . . but she is——literally——a cookie monster. No matter what kind, she'll eat it.
"So how is it?" I asked her teasingly, trying to distract myself from Edward——who's still staring at me, but with slightly parted flawless lips . . .
Whoa! Since when have I ever thought that way about a guy before?
"Kind of dry . . . but still good!" she told me, smiling, as she leaned over to wink at me and I shook my head and laughed.
"You know, wewe really should wait till after wewe eat the pizza before devouring the cookie, Ann." I said, taking a small bite of my pizza as I saw that my voice affected the Cullen siblings once again. Kyle and Annie have already grown use to it——it's only when I put authority into my voice when they take it seriously.
"Wait?" she scoffed, chewing on her pizza now. "Yeah right. I don't have any patience when it comes to cookies——you of all people know that!" she said, and it was true——
I gasped as I was hit with a flashback, my eyes grow absolutely white——like I'm blind, which is actually true because all of my attention becomes focused within my own remembering mind, I also lose control over all my senses——and I felt my big brother's strong arms go around me, to keep me from falling over. He supported me against his hard chest as I closed my eyes and began remembering.
* ~ • ~ *
"Annie! I think that's enough sugar!" I alisema while I gently spanked her hand with a wooden spoon.
It was me——looking the same as in all of the flashbacks——and Annie. With shock I realized it was Annie as a human——before I made her what she is today . . .
We were in a bright, sunshiny jikoni that was painted in tropical colors with lots of different decorations.
Annie——with long, wavy honey blond hair——continued to pour sugar in the cookie dough batter.
"Ann, you'll be jumping off the walls!" I scolded, and she finally put the sugar away and grabbed a plastic spoon.
"No. We'll be jumping off the walls!" she said, wiggling her eyebrows at me as her light brown eyes screamed mischief. Her voice wasn't as ringing as her vampire voice . . . but it was still her own. And her skin was very tan.
I smirked.
"Good luck with that," I challenged——for some reason, back then, when I became Marafiki with Annie . . . it's like she brought out the 'fun' side of me that I thought didn't exist. She keeps it alive . . . to this day.
Suddenly my memory fast-forwarded to us——with a basket full of freshly baked cookies——sitting on a beach, enjoying the sun's rays . . . laughing, gossiping about silly, unimportant things . . .
"Oh my gawsh! Bella, hot dude at 3 o'clock!" Annie gushed, suddenly excited as I shook my head while she began flirting with an overly-suntanned guy.
And then the flashbacks abruptly ended——and I found my head resting against Kyle's shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes and raised up.
"Sorry about that," I alisema to each of them, especially Alice and Edward, though I avoided eye contact with Edward.
Number two of how the three of us are connected. Remember how I told wewe about the whole mind, telepathically speaking? Well, when I have a flashback, Kyle and Annie ultimately see and feel it with me——though they have full control over their senses and actions.
So Annie over there was holding back her giggling laughter and then she noticed that I noticed.
Ah . . . Good times, she alisema to me.
I'm glad it was a good memory. wewe were only out for about forty-five seconds, Kyle told me.
Good, I told him, thankful that Edward couldn't eavesdrop on our telepathic-talking au see my flashbacks through Kyle and Annie. My mind kept everything heavily safe-guarded.
"Are wewe okay?" Alice asked me, her angelic face purely full of concern. Such a gentle and well-controlled vampire . . . thought I'd never see the day. I mean, I would actually like to become Marafiki with these Cullens . . . they seem oddly nice.
"No need to worry about me——this kind of stuff happens all the time," I assured her.
"Yeah, she has major headache's a lot——and they kind of knock her out for about a minute, but then she wakes up and is perfectly fine," Annie lied it out perfectly.
"Maybe wewe should get checked-up on that, our Dad is a doctor here in Forks," Alice alisema to me, and I was immediately appalled, and I wasn't the only one.
Seriously? A vampire DOCTOR? Kyle thought incredulously.
WOW! Never saw that one comin', Annie thought, just as shocked.
"Oh, that won't be necessary, I'm not that fond of hospitals," I alisema truthfully, seeing all those poor humans sick and in pain makes me feel sorry for them. I saw that Edward was smiling amusingly at me.
"Plus, she's gotten checked-up before and everything's fine." Kyle interceded, sounding positive and absolutely sure of himself that Alice didn't argue any further.
* * * * * * * *
I wanted to ask if wewe guys wanted me to make an Edward's POV of this chapter (you know, get to see how he felt and all) because I've already written it, all I have to do is type it and then post it up here and voila! So plz maoni and let me know your answer, plus I would like to know what wewe all thought about this chapter . . . was it good, bad, interesting? Plz comment!:D
