"Eavesdropping from a distance"
(~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~)
(Bella's Pov – M344-G, Old Earth – 6562 Yrs A.B.D)
"Hello, Mecca!"
A voice jarred me from my light sleep in one of the abandoned homes from the last few people that lived on this world before night had fallen. They believed that there was gold or other precious metals in the ground but they got a big shock when they found the Raptors.
"Are you sure that can fly?" I heard a male voice coming from outside somewhere.
"Don't know til I get some power to it." The first voice, a female, said as I heard the reach hatch of the skiff open. "Hm... It seems that that was all the juice this thing had."
I didn't know what was going on but I was bound and determined to figure it out. I got up off the small cot I was sleeping on and walked soundlessly over towards one of the windows that was covered with a scrape piece of blanket. It was the darkest piece of material that I could find to block out the sun for me to sleep. As soon as I pulled the blanket back, I heard and seen another male speak.
"Do you think there is any water around here?" I couldn't help but think he looked like a Holy person with the kind of garb he wore yet there was something about him.
"I don't know." I spotted the female as she made her way into my view. "We can always chec..." Just then a loud pop sounded in the distance causing all three to jump. "Was that the gun you gave to Zeke, Johns?"
Gun? I thought as I watched the blonde man, Johns I believe, turn and run in the direction of the shot. Its been a while since I heard a gun shot. I said to myself as I watched the woman and other man head in the same direction.
"I hope that Shazza and the kids are all..." Their voices faded as they got out of my hearing range.
"That was odd." I said out loud to myself as I let the blanket fall back over the window. "Why would anyone come to this planet?" I frowned as I moved around the small room and picked up my harness, putting it on over the last tank top I had.
My leather harness wrapped around my torso area with a wide piece of leather that tied together in four different places. The back piece came up to my shoulders with two straps holding it in place because the front only came up to underneath my breast. The only weapon I carried, other then a single bone dagger, was a piece of bone I sharpened like a single edged sword. One side was smooth and sharp while the other side was jagged like sharks teeth. It was the skeleton leg of a large spider that no longer existed. Thanks to the lovely creatures under the ground, Raptors.
I couldn't help but wondered as I slid my shoes on, if the people had found the creatures as of yet. Because if they had, they wouldn't be very happy and would be hurrying to get off this planet. I was lucky that they couldn't harm me since I was one of the few vampires that tried to stay on our home world. The others found they couldn't survive without any humans to feed of off thus they turned to stone then dust after a while. It was rather sad to see.
It seemed I was the only one who could stand to live on a planet where the only life was underground. Shaking my head, I looked around and found my goggles I wore. It wasn't until around 3000 years after I was turned that everyone in my family realized we were changing, since change was hard for us. The first thing that caught our attention was the fact that the humans started to die off, one by one. Then the vampires that feed from the humans started to die off. It was terrible to watch as those you grew close to faded away to nothing in front of your eyes.
Even my little family was torn apart when Renesmee was taken from us when she grew ill from going to the hospital with Carlisle. It was then Jake was taken from us then one by one my family members slowly died off til Jasper and I were the last ones that survived out of our small family. Why we were able to survive I'll never know but I do know that I had been on this world for long enough. When the plague did finally stop spreading and died out, those that lived, created ships and flew off world. The vampires that did survive left during that time.
I am sad to say that Jasper was on one of the first ships to leave Earth. If he did make it off world and to another, I had yet to hear from him. Pushing sad thoughts in the back of my mind, I opened the door to my little abode and strolled out into the sun. I looked down and smiled as I realized that my 'diamond' shimmer was gone, completely. I shook my head, pulled my goggles down over my eyes and took off in the direction of the gun shot. As I ran, my mind went to other things, such as the fact I had been craving raw meat along with blood, lately.
I have also felt slight pains in my abdomen but I didn't know if it was what I believed it to be since I never did bleed. The pains would come and go but I never found a pattern to it. Of course, I could be wrong since it had been centuries since I'd last seen a calender. When the scent of fresh blood drifted towards my nose, I slowed down only to hear faint voices. As I walked over the crest of a sand dune, I heard a female scream under the ground. In front of me was a large group of pillars, that I knew took fresh air down into the tunnels.
I then heard two more female voices as well as Johns and the other male. I looked up only to see them looking down into a hole that was dug into the sand and a tarp was pulled over it to create shade. I knew instantly that something had happened. I then wondered if it could have been the explosion I felt and heard earlier. It woke me up yet I decided to check it out later and now I kinda wished I had before. Pulling myself out of my thought train, I heard another scream yet it was only louder then before.
"Someone get me out of here!" The female from the ship earlier screamed in one of the pillars.
"Fry!?" I heard a young female scream yet when I turned to look I saw what looked like a young boy running towards the pillar I was halfway hidden behind. "Fry!?"
"Move, kid." I told the kid as I stood before the pillar, narrowing my eyes at it. "DUCK!" I called to the woman inside.
I heard something shift and calculated on where she would more or less would be. In one swift movement, I cut the top part of the pillar off and let it crumble off to the side as it fell. I quickly made my way over to the hole, grabbed a hold of the woman and pulled. 'Fry' was in my arms in the next instant with me setting her down and cutting the rope with my teeth as I bit it in two since I felt a light jerk that would have pulled the 'human' into the hole. As the rope fell to the ground, I looked over into it only to see one of the dark blue Raptors dart towards it as it disappeared into the darkness.
"W-Who are you?" I heard Fry ask me. "W-Wha..."
I turned to look at her only to have something press against my back. "Mr. Johns, I do not believe that is necessary." The other male said. "She saved Fry. Surely she does not mean us any harm."
"We checked the settlement and didn't find anyone." 'Mr.' Johns hissed behind me as I felt whatever it was press a little harder. "Now, who the fuck are you and where were you hiding?"
I looked over my shoulder at the man only to raise my goggles, his eyes grew wide. "My name is Belle." I told him rather coolly. "...as for where I was hiding... I was sleeping you dick head." I turned my eyes back towards the woman. "Are you in charge here?"
"Y-Yes." Fry answered rather shakingly.
"Then you need to get off this planet because they creatures you just saw will more then likely come out in a few hours." I told her seeing her frown.
"Are you dumb?" Johns said as he pushed a weapon into my back again. "There are three suns."
I turned to give him a fanged smirk, another little evolution gift I received over the years. "So?" I saw him frown. "Night has to fall some time."
"22 years." Fry gasped as she looked at me. "The settlement is 22 years old."
"Yes." I nodded as I felt the weapon still pressing into my back. "Surely you have seen the bone yard?"
I heard a click behind me. "How do we know you didn't kill the settlers?"
"Because," I snarled as I felt my anger rising. "I don't eat human food." I felt my eyes darkening. "Now get that fucking gun off my back." My hands were clenched at my side.
"No." Johns sneered as he pressed it harder into my back.
"Fine." I hissed as I quickly pulled my sword from my back and spun around to where the smooth side was pressed against his neck.
A thin line of blood trickled down the wound my sword created. Johns' eyes grew wide as he stared at me, the gun in his hand shaking. His finger was on the trigger but I didn't flinch because I knew the gun wouldn't hurt me. If anything I may laugh. It was then the Holy looking man walked up and placed a hand on my blade. His eyes looked into mine as I saw a man who wished to save his family. It reminded me of Carlisle in a small way.
"There is no need for violence." He said as he turned his brown eyes to Johns. "She has yet to harm any of us so I don't believe she will." He turned his attention back to me. "You are from the Old Earth?"
"Yes." I told him my eyes moving back to Johns. "You're standing on it."
Just then the curly haired female came running up. "What in the hell is goin' on?" I could tell she was use to hard work because of the smell of machinery. "...and who's this?"
"This is Bella." Fry answered for me as she looked to Johns. "Lower your gun, Johns." Her posture screamed authority but her voice didn't and neither did her eyes. "I have to agree with Imam. I don't think she's a threat to any of us. She may just be able to help."
"Fine." Johns sneered as he pulled the gun away from me but kept it in his hands. "I'm going to talk to my prisoner since we know now that he didn't kill Zeke." His eyes looked me up and down. "We may just need the strength."
He didn't say anything else as he turned and walked away. I smirked as I flipped my sword around and slid it back into the sheath I had on my back. As soon as I heard it click into place, I looked at Imam, or the holy man.
"How do you know about Old Earth?" I asked him with a frown.
"I met a man with the same skin tone as your self." Imam told me. "His hair was the color of the sun and his eyes were an odd color. Mixed between red and gold.
Jasper. My thoughts turned back to the only other person from my past. "Do you know where he is now?" Is he still alive?
"No, I am afraid I don't." Imam shook his head. "The last place I saw him was on New Mecca. That was where we were going when our ship crashed."
I heard a few heart beats start to speed up from the sun. "Why don't we head into the shade?" I looked around. "I know that humans cant take the sun as a vampire can."
"You're a vampire!?" A realized that the boy I had seen earlier wasn't a boy at all but a young girl dressed like a boy.
"Yes." I answered with a nod as we headed towards a large crashed ship. "I was turned when I was 18."
'His' eyes grew wide. "How old are you really?"
"Jack!" I heard the curly haired female gasp. "Don't ask a woman, human or vampire, their age. Its disrespectful."
I chuckled as I shook my head, patting the 'boy' on the head. "Don't worry." I could see the tear starting to prick the corners of 'his' eyes. "I'll let you in on a secret, when I first met the family of vampires that took me in, I asked the women their ages, too."
"Are they still around?" Fry question which was a legit question.
"No." I told her seeing her frown as we grew closer to the ship. "They were killed by the plague that killed the humans." I tried to disconnect to the feelings but I couldn't seem to. "The vampires that fed from the humans were the first to become ill. We thought we were immune to everything but that when everyone started to get sick. Only a few humans survived along with the vampires. I'm the last one to leave the Earth."
"If you didn't feed from humans," The 'boy' asked as he frowned. "What did you eat?"
I smirked as we entered the ship. "Animals. And now I feed from the Raptors." There were a few gasps as three young boys rushed over and started to speak rather quickly in Arabic. "Sorry, guys. That is one language I didn't learn."
"They are asking about your clothing." Imam translated as he ushered them back to their seats.
"I made my own clothing." I told Imam as he translated to the boys.
"How long do we have until the..." Fry was about to ask a question when a gun shot rang out. "What the hell was that?" Her eyes snapped to mine then towards the back of the ship.
I frowned because I didn't smell any blood but burnt metal. "I'm going to check." I turned my eyes to Fry. "You'll need about two cells from this ship to power the skiff."
As soon as Fry nodded, I turned and headed towards the back of the wrecked ship. When I heard foot falls, I hide in the shadows. Johns snarled as he stalked pass me but that wasn't what caught my attention. It was the fact that the wall behind me was breathing warm air on my neck. I stiffened because I had no clue that someone was already hiding here. My goggles were still on top of my head so when I turned, I could see that a man with a bald head with goggles of his own was standing behind me with a small smirk on his face.
"And who do we have here?" His gruff tone sent shivers down my spine.
I narrowed my eyes as I quickly moved away from the man, his silver eyes growing wide behind his goggles. "The names Bella." I told him looking him up and down. "Now lets go group up with the others. We're going to be heading to the settlement." I went to turn to leave but I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist as a gripped the side of my neck. "Let. Me. Go."
"Why would I do that?" His voice rumbled in my ear, pulling me back further against him. "You smell rather nice." The man's lips were rather close to my skin, and Edward's mate mark. "Hm. You've been taken."
I clenched my eyes as I remembered the look on his face as he watched Renee die in front of his eyes. "Not any more." I hissed as I quickly moved away from this man, barely able to get free of his grip. "Now, as I said before..."
"What are you?" I was suddenly pinned against the wall with silver eyes staring into my own black ones. "And don't lie, I can smell it on you." A giant hand holding me in place.
"Vampire." I hissed baring my fangs as I quickly switched my position with the mans, my dagger pressing into his throat. "And a hell of a lot stronger then a mere human." I sneered because I didn't care for this unknown man grabbing me the way he did.
The man just smirked as his silver eyes bore into mine. "Maybe." He said as I felt something pressing against my spine. "Now, who's faster?" He raised a brow in question at me.
"I am." I chuckled as I was at the end of the 'hallway', sheathing my dagger on my waist sheath. "Now let's see what the others are doing." I could see the anger, wonder and curiosity in the man's gaze as I headed towards the room where I could hear the others.
"I don't think Bella is safe." Johns' voice rang loud and clear to my ears as I stopped. "She's obviously dangerous or she wouldn't have been able to live on this hell hole of a planet."
"You are wrong Mr. Johns." I heard Imam speak up as I felt the other man stop right behind me.
I heard someone shift feet. "Why is that, Imam?" The curly haired woman spoke up this time. "She's even admitted to killing humans."
"What are you waiting for?" The man in the goggles whispered in my ear.
I glared at him over my shoulder. "Shh!" I told him placing a single finger over my lips. "I'm listening to their conversation." The man just raised a brow as I went back to listening.
"...Bella has yet to kill one of us." It was Jack that spoke up. "I mean she did save you, Fry."
"Yes she did, Jack but we don't know what happens if someone bleeds in front of her." I could understand where Fry was coming from but she didn't need to worry.
"Nothing will happen." I said walking into the room. "I may look no older then 18 but don't allow my looks to deceive you."
'Goggles' walked around from behind me causing Johns to narrow his eyes. "Where have you been, Riddick?"
"Greeting the woman." Riddick smirked but I just hissed at him causing a few to look at me oddly. "Down kitty." I could see he placed his goggles back over his eyes.
Imam cleared his throat as he stepped forward a little bit. "Why would nothing happen?"
"I've had centuries of practice on my control, so, I know I wont attack anyone." I looked to Fry. "You were bleeding when I grabbed you. Remember you were attacked and one of their claws dug into your thigh."
Fry's eyes widen as her hand went to the wound. "I had forgotten about that."
"If you really want to know how long I've been alive," I thought for a moment. "Its been almost 6563 years since I was turned." There were a few gasps around the room but Riddick seemed rather interested.
"You're 6562 years old?" Fry was the first one to say something. "I find that hard to believe. What year were you born?" She narrowed her eyes as she crossed her arms.
I smirked mirroring her posture. "1987. January."
"But that's..." Fry just shook her head. "So, you being a vampire allowed you to live a long time." She looked a little worried. "How were you able to stay so young?"
I sighed as I walked over and sat down. "Fine, I will give you a little background in vampires." I crossed my arms as I looked around the room. "When we were first created, we couldn't go out into sun or we would die. A stake, wooden, to the heart would kill us and had the same fangs I do now." I could see a few disbelieving looks. "I learned this from the Kings during the time I was living with them."
"If that is how you first started out," Johns sneered as he looked her up and down. "How are you able to go out into the sun? Shouldn't it have killed you?"
I smirked and nodded because he was right. "That's right but when I was turned, vampires were rather different then when they were first created." I closed my eyes for a moment. "I didn't understand how the change would come around until I experienced it myself, but when I was turned, vampires could go out into the sun but they were still known to be different."
"How?" Jack asked as 'he' sat next to the other boys.
"Their skin glittered in the sun like a jewel." I could tell I was in a daze, just remembering how Edward looked when I first saw him. "They had rather hard skin that was cold to the touch. I guess that is one thing that stayed the same. Vampires are cold by natures since we, more or less, have to die to be changed."
The curly haired woman stepped forward with a sneer. "As much as I love hearing all this," She looked around to the others. "We need to get the cells to the skiff then find out just how many we will need."
"Shazza is right." Fry said as she nodded. "We'll take two cells now and come back for the rest." She looked to me. "Can you carry the two of them?" She cut her eyes towards the cells that were sitting on a sled.
"Riddick will take 'em." Johns said looking at Riddick. "Won't you?" His eyes were narrowed at the man.
Riddick frowned as I saw his muscles tense. "Yeah, I'll take 'em." He walked over and picked each one up and flipped it up on his shoulders. "Let's go."
"There's a sled we're going to use." Fry said as we made it outside.
"Where's Paris?" Jack called out as I looked around to see he was gone.
I shrugged as I watched Riddick walk over and place the cells on the sled. I couldn't help but feel my heart, which finally did beat again -miracle I know-, skip a beat. I quickly turned my head away when I saw him looking at me with a smirk. The flare of his nose told me he was taking in my scent but I already had his. Leather, blood, and a scent that reminded me of liquid heat. It fit him perfectly. When my eyes moved, I spotted Jack glancing towards me every few seconds.
"Is there something you want to know?" I asked as I saw 'him' stiffen.
Jack swallowed a lump in her throat, apparently. "How were you changed?"
The memories of the pain from Renesmee was burned into my mind as I closed my eyes. "I gave my mate the one thing a female vampire usually cant give their mates." I whispered opening my eyes.
"What's that?" She blinked a few times.
"A baby." I told her as I turned because I saw Fry open her mouth.
"Time to go." Fry called as she looked around. "Stick together."
I just snorted as we took off but I didn't think it was necessary because of the fact the skiff needed more cells then those two thus we would need to come back for more. I couldn't help but feel as though Johns was up to something because he kept glancing at me. Whatever it was, it sent a chill down my spine. I was just thinking I was glad I didn't tell them that I had a gift and some vampires did. Imam was also glancing at my way but it was his son's that were whispering to themselves. I did pick up a few words about 'new place' and 'fun' which only spelled trouble. Jack was lucky 'he' didn't understand the boys because I had a bad feeling about those three. They seemed to have some kind of death wish.

Author Note – Here is the first chapter of A Future Unexpected. I hope you liked it. So what do you think? Bella saved Fry only to have Johns take a dislike to her instantly. She also seemed to have the upper hand on Riddick but then again just looking at him caused her body to do strange things. Smirks...what do you think is going to happen? Oh and Jasper is going to show up but not until they 'leave' the planet. Mwhahahaha! I'm sorry but I ain't telling just when he's gonna show because it's for later chapters. So til next time keep reading and reviewing...
