Chapter 1: Clarissa
"Are you tired yet?" Edward Cullen was holding Bella Swan in his arms as he tried to make her fall asleep. However his beautiful little human girlfriend had other things she wanted to do. Edward and Bella had been making out for a while now. Edward didn't mind, but he knew that Bella, being a human teenage girl, needed her sleep.
"No…" Bella pressed herself up against Edward's bare upper torso and moved her lips against his again and Edward lost the will to protest. Hours went by like that with every thirty minutes or so Edward asking Bella if she was tired yet. Finally though she fell asleep in his cold arms.
The next morning the couple went over to Edward's house. When they entered the front hall though Edward stiffened.
"Edward? What's wrong?" asked Bella urgently. He only acted like that when danger was near. With Edward being a vampire and all danger found the couple quite easily and always made Bella its prey.
"There's another vampire in this house. Her name's Clarissa. She…she's not like my family." Edward murmured under his breath. "Stay by me."
Bella clung to Edward. His family hunted solely on animals, feasting on their blood instead of humans. What Edward meant by Clarissa not being like his family meant Clarissa drank human blood. That always put Bella in danger.
They entered the dining room where the Cullen family sat around the table joined by a painfully beautiful female vampire.
"Edward!" cried the vampire with glee. She jumped up and threw her white arms around his neck. "Long time no see. Did you miss me?"
Bella felt annoyed by this vampire clinging to her true love like that. She felt the apologetic looks of the other Cullens on her. Edward however pushed the vampire off.
"Clarissa." He said dismissively. Clarissa's crimson eyes rested hatefully on Bella.
"And who's your little friend. Did you get take out?" she joked, playfully punching Edward in the arm. Edward didn't laugh though.
"She's not for eating, Clarissa." said Edward wincing. "This is my girlfriend Bella." He put his arms around her to show Clarissa the love and commitment in their relationship. Clarissa flipped her honey blond hair out of her face.
"Nice to meet you Bella." She hissed coldly. Clarissa turned back to Edward. "She smells good doesn't she Edward?"
Edward's face could've been carved from stone. "What are you doing here Clarissa?"
"What? I can't visit my true love and his family?" She asked scornfully as she sat back down again. "I'm a little hurt to hear you have a girlfriend sweetheart. I thought I'd be able to…convince you this time."
"I love Bella." He said stiffly.
"But she's human Edward! You can't have a physical relationship with a human! You'd break her!" She smiled seductively. "With me, darling, you can have whatever you want."
Bella felt anguished. First Tanya and now this? How many vampire girls had Edward rendezvoused with before she was born?
"No thank you Clarissa. Bella's all I'll ever want."
"Fine," she snapped. "Don't suppose you want to hear about my new power then, eh?"
Edward sighed. "What is it Clarissa?"
"I can send myself or anyone else back in time." She grinned at Edward and Bella's astonished faces.
Edward turned to Carlisle. "Can she really?"
Carlisle nodded. "Yes. It's a very rare gift, but not unheard of. There are only about six of our kind in the world who can do such a trick. It's useful, but dangerous. A time traveler could unravel the whole world with just one minor in history. Clarissa could also use it as a weapon. She could transport someone back in time by themselves. If she wasn't with them they'd be stuck in that time for forever."
"That'd suck." muttered Emmett. Clarissa laughed jollily.
"Well anyway Edward I'll be in town a couple of days. I'll probably feed in Seattle. Don't wanna risk killing your little love interest. If you ever want to dump the chic and come pay me a visit, if you know what I mean, my door is always open." Clarissa winked and was out the door.
Edward turned to Bella. "I'm sorry about that."
"No problem." she sighed. Edward wrapped him arms around her.
"You know I love you." He said soothingly.
"I know." Bella put her head on his chest. Edward made eye contact with Carlisle.
"Will she be a danger?" Carlisle asked and Edward tenderly stroked Bella's hair.
"She wasn't thinking about hurting Bella." Edward sighed. "She hates her though. She's jealous."
Carlisle shook his head. "I knew this would happen. I warned her that you didn't return her interest. She was very sure of herself though. You and Bella really caught her off guard."
"Let's go up to my room." He whispered in Bella's ear. He took her hand and they began to head upstairs when Carlisle called up to them.
"Edward? Be on your guard."
Edward laughed darkly. "If you thought for a second I wouldn't be on my guard you're crazy." Edward and Bella made it to his room. Edward led Bella to the leather couch. He pulled her into his arms.
"You're not mad right?" he asked, concern touching his topaz eyes.
"N-no." Bella hid her face in Edward's side.
"Clarissa has nothing on you Bella. I love you. I want you forever and ever and ever."
Bella watched as he played with her fingers, his touch light and soft as a feather.
"Do you think she's going to hunt me down?" Bella half peeked cautiously at Edward's reaction. He had completely froze up.
"I don't know love." He sighed. "I'm not letting you out of my sight until she leaves. Just in case. I'm not letting her get more then four feet from you Bella. Clarissa is a completely selfish, jealous creature. She wouldn't think twice about destroying you if she thought she might have a chance at me if she did." His eyes went unfocused a moment. "Wouldn't take her long to figure out that if she did anything to you, anything at all, I would destroy her." he growled. Seeing Bella's anxious face he gently kissed her on the lips. "Don't worry Bella. She's not going to get to you."
"I know."
Clarissa jumped down from her perch outside Edward's window. It had been difficult to keep from thinking as she spied on the couple, but well worth it. Clarissa was miles away from the Cullens' house in no time at all.
"So he thinks he can keep his precious little Bella away from me does he?" Clarissa hissed under her breath. "Something has to done about that girl." Then something clicked. Something Carlisle had said in the dining room.
"Clarissa could also use it as a weapon. She could transport someone back in time by themselves. If she wasn't with them they'd be stuck in that time for forever."
"Interesting…how perfect it would be to trap little Bella back in time…eventually Edward would forget her." She sighed thinking of the way Edward had held Bella in his room. She imagined her in Bella's place. Edward kissing her, Edward holding her, Edward loving her. It was the perfect plan.
