章 35: Chapter 35
After a few minutes of walking Jack arrived at the pizza place and found out that he had nothing to do, in fact, he was left there standing for an hour and a half, staring at the passersby.
'I should have just gone home and then come here' Jack thought frustrated at his own decision.
Finally, however, Jack saw a figure in the distance.
It was Bella Swan, she was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans.
She looked quite beautiful for a human, Jack had to admit that much at least, especially in a small town like Forks she really shined.
Well as long as you didn't take the Cullens into account, even Jack himself could be considered better looking with his four charisma.
"Hey," Bella said as she gave him an awkward wave once she was close to Jack.
"Hey Bella, glad to see you came, how about we go into the restaurant and then we can start talking?" Jack said as he motioned for her to go first.
Bella nodded and then headed inside the pizza place with Jack.
Once they both sat down, Jack and she ordered a medium pepperoni pizza each, and then silence overtook the table.
"All right anything you want to ask, I'll answer," Jack said as he motioned for her to go on with his head.
'Let's see just how much you know or suspect, Bella Swan' Jack thought as excitement coursed through his veins.
He had thought about this encounter for hours and had even thought that he shouldn't do it at all however he didn't want to be like Edward, like the rest of the Cullens.
Sure, he wanted his revenge however he had still decided to see if Bella suspected anything, if she didn't know much if at all then he would spare her.
However, if she did, then Jack had agreed with himself that he wouldn't mind using her for his own revenge.
Bella stood silent for a few moments at his words, even lowering her head to stare at the table before she lifted it up once more and looked Jack straight in the eyes.
"Edward wasn't really next to me when he saved me was he?"
That question alone was enough for Jack. She already knew and had seen more than he had when he had been turned.
He wouldn't have to feel bad about his future choices anymore.
Thus, Jack gave her a light smile, his mood improving as he nodded his head.
"That's right"
It was at this moment, as they were talking however that the door of the restaurant opened up once more.
Inside came a familiar figure to Jack, and someone he really didn't want to see.
In fact, Jack felt that if he had a heartbeat right now, then it would have most definitely been going a mile a minute.
The figure was coming directly toward him.
It was Alice Cullen, and her expression didn't look pleased at all.
In fact, Jack almost felt that she was furious however his low charisma stat didn't allow him to infer much from her face alone.
"Hey Jack, sorry for interrupting you but something came up, you need to come quickly," Alice said as she gave him a closed-eyed smile before turning towards Bella.
"I'm sorry if I'm interrupting anything Bella, but it's really urgent," Alice said as she gave her an apologetic look.
Jack could easily infer that she was lying, however.
But what he didn't know was how she had found out that he was having a talk with Bella and even the spot where they would be meeting.
'Does she have a gift? I was dumb, I should have used vampiric observation on her already' Jack thought before he used his skill.
' Observe '
[ Observe skill has been used ]
[ User's perception stat is lower than the targets however a stroke of incredible luck has shined upon the user allowing him to bypass the stat check ]
[ Observe skill successful ]
[ Name: Alice Cullen ]
[ Race: Vampire ]
[ Age: 104 ]
[ Ability: Limited Future Vision ]
[ Background: ??? ]
The observation skill had been successful and while it hadn't shown him the full information, it had already given him enough to know how he had been found out.
'Fuck, of course, she would know if she had a future vision. I should have activated my ability negation as soon as I left Emmet and Rosalie.' Jack thought as he felt the need to smack himself in the head.
Getting up from the chair, Jack nodded toward Alice showing his affirmation that he would follow her, and then turned toward Bella.
"It seems we will have to continue this at a later date, I'm sorry about this," Jack said before taking out enough money to pay for the meals and then following Alice out of the Pizza restaurant.
Walking down the road, Jack could see a yellow Porsche 911 parked close to them.
He had seen the car in the Cullens garage before.
'She really rushed here huh' Jack thought as Alice unlocked the car with her keys and motioned for him to hop in.
Once inside the car, Alice drove off quickly, heading back to the Cullen mansion.
All this time, she hadn't spoken a single word and she finally broke the silence as she drove the Porsche.
"What are you trying to do Jack? Do you feel angry that we are being lenient against Bella? I know how you must feel and I'm incredibly sorry however the decision has already been made by the whole family. I don't want to see you doing this ever again." Alice said as she gave Jack who was in the passenger seat a side glance.
Jack simply sat there looking out of the window for a moment before he released a slow and shallow chuckle.
"Right, I'm sorry that I broke your plans. I was just curious to see how much she actually knew about us Alice, that's all." Jack said as he turned his head to face the pixie-like woman.
[ Charisma Check Fail ]
"Right, sure whatever you say Jack, but I'm warning you, don't do this again. What we did to you wasn't great however are you planning to repeat our mistakes as well?" Alice said as she floored the gas pedal, the Porsche's speed increasing with each passing second.
"Of course not" Jack replied before turning his head and deciding to now answer anything else.
His charisma was a great limiter to any social conversation he had and it would also put him at a great disadvantage against Alice.
