๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, Bella, Jessica, and Catherine all pulled their jackets closer due to the freezing Washington air.
"I don't get why there are so many zombie movies." Bella spoke up as the three of them headed towards their cars, Catherine having ridden with Bella since her car hadn't arrived yet.
"It's like, a metaphor," Jessica spoke out an answer to Bella's statement, as she turned towards her and Cathy, who was walking between them. "for crass consumerism or something."
Hearing Jessica's answer, Bella only glanced at the girl before her eyes went back down to the ground, whilst Cathy was nodding her head as she understood and agreed with Jessica.
"I personally love zombie movies." Catherine spoke out with a dopey smile on her face as she continued to walk with her arms in her pockets.
Jessica almost immediately looked over at the girl she'd only met a few hours prior, other than Eric, Tyler, and Mike she hadn't met anyone that liked zombie films.
"Really?" She asked raising an eyebrow at the girl, her face slightly scrunched up as she waited on her answer.
"Yeah I mean living in a world where you only have to survive, would be awesome," Catherine said as her smile grew larger and she excitedly turned towards Jessica, who couldn't help but reciprocate the girl's happiness. "like no school, no getting a job, no paying a mortgage, just living your best life and smashing zombies heads."
"Okay, a zombie apocalypse doesn't sound too bad right about now," Jessica spoke with a light smile on her face as she nodded her head with a light giggle. "but on a totally realistic note, it's a proven fact that it 'is' supposed to be a play on consumerism."
At her words, Catherine couldn't stop herself from nodding her head, although she had never heard about this whole consumerism thing, it didn't sound too far-fetched.
"Not that your cousin would know anything about consuming, seeing as she didn't even buy anything today." Jessica continued to speak throwing light shade toward Bella, causing Catherine to chuckle softly.
"I bought something." Bella said in a low and soft voice, the girl not paying attention to what was going on with Catherine and Jessica.
Hearing Bella's words, Jessica could only let out a scoff as she before turning towards Bella with a shocked and disbelieving look on her face.
"Socks don't count, and everything else you have was because Catherine picked them up," Jessica stated the truth as she motioned over to Catherine, who just walked quietly along with them. "'course, I was surprised you even wanted to go."
"Yeah, I've been kind of...out of it." Bella said nodding her head, her eyes on the ground as she continued to walk along with them.
"Kind of," Jessica asked again in disbelief, the girl scoffing as she heard Bella downplay what she'd been doing for the last few weeks. "I mean at first I was worried, then I'm like, okay she's still bumming."
Hearing Jessica speaking completely insensitively Catherine only side-eyed the teen, now she understood why Bella didn't want to come out with the talkative girl.
"It's not like I wasn't going through things too like Mike deciding he wanted to 'just be friends,'" Jessica continued to drone on about herself, Catherine trying her best to listen despite feeling as if the girl was a little self-centered. "that's hard and-"
Although Jessica still didn't have the chance to fully bring the conversation over to her problems, she was interrupted by the sound of a rough voice shouting at them.
"How 'bout a ride, girls?!" A biker yelled over at them from his spot outside a bar and on his bike, causing the three girls to pause as they looked over.
"Come on." Another yelled from beside him, all of them a little bit tipsy as they continued to try and get the girls to come over to them.
"I want the little one," The third rapper in the row yelled out, with his eyes trained directly on Catherine who looked at him disgusted and scared. "come on over here baby bunny!"
Catherine, hearing his words, only moved over a bit more grabbing a hold of Bella's arm and pulling her cousin over to protect her.
"I know them, I think...." Bella said as she looked at them as if she was in a trance, causing Catherine to look up at her in complete shock.
"Good for you cousin, maybe you can call them one day," Catherine said nodding her head sarcastically feeding into her cousin's words, before trying to pull her away. "let's go."
However, she wasn't able to as Bella tried her best to hold her ground, not looking away from the bikers, or at least what she temporarily saw in front of them.
"I want to see something." Bella muttered as she moved to walk closer to them, laying her hand on top of Catherine's.
"See what the pearly gates?" Catherine asked sarcastically as she continued to pull her cousin away, although the older girl wouldn't let her.
"Nina, let go." Bella said through gritted teeth as she harshly pushed Catherine's hand off of her arm, before turning back towards the bikers.
"Alright, we got a taker." The first biker spoke as he noticed the girl walking over towards them, causing the others to chuckle and watch her.
And as Bella walked forwards only to her another apparition of Edward appeared in front of her, causing her to pause in her step.
Seeing him again, Bella's heart started to beat faster as she grew desperate to see him more causing her to take a step back, only for him to disappear.
"Come on back Bella." Catherine encouraged her cousin, beckoning her with her hands and missing the look on Bella's face.
A look of panic came over her face as she watched Edward fade, causing her to take another step forwards testing to see if he would come back, and he did.
So she kept walking forwards.
"Bella!" Catherine shouted in fear as her internal instincts kept going off and on every few seconds, she sensed something so dangerous appearing and disappearing every few seconds.
Unknowing to her it was the reappearance and disappearance of Edward's mental being that was triggering her supernatural prey instinct.
And feeling that intense need to run, Catherine wasn't able to stop her cousin from getting on the back of the biker's motorcycle.

๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐, Catherine had no clue what she was supposed to tell her Uncle after Bella just got on the back of some stranger older man's motorcycle.
Although it seemed as if she would never have to as a dazed Bella, was quickly walking back over to them looking directly at the ground.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Catherine asked as she quickly grabbed a hold of her cousin's arms, before pulling her for a harsh hug.
Her heart was in her ass as she realized her cousin had gotten on the motorcycle, she would have had to chase them down to get her cousin back.
Exposing her and her people's secret, to heaven knows how many people to protect her idiotic older cousin.
"Are you insane, suicidal?" Jessica asked sarcastically suggested as she looked at the girl outraged, Catherine wasn't the only one scared at the thought of Bella getting on the motorcycle.
"The more dangerous...the more real it was..." Bella muttered to herself and looked off into the distance, not even paying attention to Jessica and Catherine.
"So, what you're like an adrenaline junky now?" Jessica asked rhetorically causing Bella to look at them, realizing she had said that out loud.
"Bell, you go hang-gliding, bungee-jumping, you don't ride away on some random man's motorcycle," Catherine said as she held her cousin at arm's length away, anger spelled out all over her face. "are you insane you could've fucking died!"
"I'm-I-" Bella tried to stutter out her apology but was quickly cut off by Catherine who groaned.
The girl roughly ruffled her hair in anger, before storming off towards Bella's car since she rode with her.
