Chapter 5

Looking at the door waiting for someone to walk in Diego just looked at me laughing. "Are you ashamed to have a sex life?" He asked enthused.

With that response I knew that I was over reacting. "No, it's just we're still guest in the house." I sighed catching the taste of Diego in the process. "If we're going to continue this fiasco it doesn't need to be here."

Diego's eyes furrowed.

"Are you telling me that you want to leave Bree?"

I looked at him then. Of course, I didn't want to leave. Just being here for a few hours feels like I've been here my entire life. "That's not what I meant Diego." I said flatly.

"What did you mean to say then?" His finger tracing small circles in the outline of my spine, just with the tinniest touch from Diego I was in a haze, my thoughts in a scrambled state.

"I-I-I mee-ant that we coul-d find other ways to be alone."

Diego smiled at me interested. "I don't think there's anywhere else that we could go." I thought for a moment.

"Well, Carlisle isn't going to let us leave without supervision. Unless..."

"Unless what?" He asked me.

A light bulb just went off in my head. The only person here with self-control issues is me. But, when I was with Diego I didn't think about the burning thirst. Diego is my key to self-control. The sooner I learn to control myself the sooner I can go where ever I want. Maybe, just maybe find a place of my own and live life like it's supposed to be. There was only one small tiny problem. I'm getting attached to this Cullen Coven. They interest me.

Diego waved his hand in front of my face. "Hello? Earth to Bree you in there?"

I just smiled kissing him proud of my brilliant idea.

"What was that for?" He asked me. I ignored the question.

"I have the key to my self-control." I whispered. "It's you."

Diego laughed again thinking that I was going crazy.

"I'm serious."

He thought about it for a moment. "I did too. I had more self-control then I have in a long time." Then he asked. "How does this involve trying to find a solution to our dilemma?"

I quickly found my clothes and tied my hair in a messy knot. Leaving Diego confused. When I reached the last step of the staircase Alice seemed to be in a trance. The southern accent vampire Jasper was standing beside her. "What do you see Alice?" He asked her. "Charlie, he's going to ask us to watch Kaitlyn for him."

Carlisle then walked into the room. "We can't take the risk to invite a human into the house right now."

I cleared my throat. "I'm right here you know so you don't have to talk about me in third person." My jaw clinched together.

Carlisle smiled at me actually happy to see me. He looked fairly decent he wore a polo shirt with faded out jeans with tennis shoes. Carlisle too, had that golden color in his irises. This group of immortals were unordinary than any other vampire that I'd come to know throughout my short second life. These vampires were gentle and kind hearted opposite from Riley.

"Ah, Mss. Tanner you've decided to join us." His hands clapped together sending an echo in the room.

I smiled lightly, "Please call me Bree."

Carlisle was going to comment but then the vampire that looked like a boxer cut in. "Where is your boy toy?" He asked.

My eyes went wide. So they did hear us. There goes first impressions, I mumbled. "I'm sorry about that… it won't happen again."

Esme walked into the room. She too looked gorgeous, all of them did. Looking at what she was wearing elegant but breath taking Esme showed off her curves with a light blue sun dress with flats. Esme's top half was cut in a v neck showing off some of her cleavage. But not too much, from the back you can see the skin of her upper back showing off her slender shoulders. She smacked the boxer vampire from behind the head.

"Stop frightening the girl Emmet. You shouldn't be talking in that manner. I've taught you better than that."

Taking a deep breath I looked at Alice.

"Earlier, you were talking about this Kaitlyn. Who is she and what's going to happen to her?"

Alice seemed hesitant glancing towards Carlisle he nodded. It seemed like she was asking Carlisle to continue on with my question. I wasn't sure. Her head turned towards me again. Changing the subject, what is it with not answering my questions?

She snickered.

"Bree doesn't know about us does she?" Alice asked Carlisle.

"No. Neither does Diego. But, I think you should tell her about Kait first before you start with our family status." Carlisle said sincere. Alice nodded.

"Kaitlyn is just a girl that Bella's father found while investigating her rape case."

"Why does this Charlie want you to watch over her?" I asked confused to where this was going.

Alice shook her head. "It's not that. See Bree, there are other supernatural creatures out there that you or Diego don't know about."

I walked over to the table, wanting to understand what she was saying.

"Oh, Alice come on get a grip, tell her. Stop trying to confuse her. You're confusing me." Emmet said boldly.

"We're in acquaintance with werewolves. They're dangerous animals."

Then the blonde head vampire Rose added to the topic.

"They're not just animals. They're shape shifters."

As I thought that the supernatural couldn't get any worse than it is now. Is it these shape shifters that are going after Kaitlyn? It couldn't be. If they are acquaint with the Cullen's they wouldn't be the enemy. Or are they? Rose seemed to be discussed with the mention of the word 'werewolf'. I crossed my arms showing discomfort. All of a sudden I felt a wave of relaxation come through my body.

My arms unlocked and I blinked. "What was that?" Jasper snickered.

Right then Diego joined me he looked like a god. I was on cloud nine. Emmet cleared his throat seeing me drool. Do vampires even drool? Rose smacked him this time.

"I have a solution to this watch detail." Everyone's eyes focused on me. "I've found my key to self-control."

I weave my hand into Diego's asking for support. "When I'm with Diego I don't think of thirst. My mind is clear has crystal."

"How is that possible?" Carlisle seemed surprised with my theory.

It's not because of our lust for each other. It's only when I'm with him that he can tell me that it'll be okay he's there to guide me if I need him. Alice seemed out into a different world but then she came back. "It's true she's found her key. Kaitlyn can stay with us for a while until her father comes back from Tokyo."

"But, what about my eyes, they're still amber." I said.

Carlisle chuckled.

"We can take a few more hunting trips before she arrives." Then he added, "But, when Kaitlyn does arrive you mustn't speak about our life style is that clear? She doesn't need to know about us. It puts her in more danger then she already is."

"What about shopping?" I asked eager to find some clothes that actually fit I was pâté after all.
