Disclaim to both Glee and twilight.
They were all there, my dad with Sue Clearwater, the pack, Emily with a baby resting on her hip, Rachel was there holding Paul's hand, Billy sitting next to dad. Kim was bouncing next to Jared and Embry was standing next to a pretty reservation girl, Old man Quil was there too. There was also some people I've never met before two boys that looked like twins, not in the wolf way though, a boy standing next to sue and dad along with a girl with short hair.
My Dad smiled brightly at me his eyes getting watery, I smiled back.
"Bells." He croaked.
"Daddy." I yelled running towards him.
He hugged me tight and kissed my head, he was whispering into my ear how worried he was and how I wasn't to ever leave again.
"I missed you too dad." I said squeezing him tighter before letting go, he reluctantly let got too.
"Bell you worried me so much, you just disappear only leaving a note that said not to look for you." He said, "what were you thinking?" He gave a great sigh.
"I was trying to protect you, all of you, if I wasn't here anymore than Victoria wouldn't have any reason to be here and she'll leave." I explained.
He sighed again, "well lets not worry about this now, I'm sure there is some people here that want to say hello too." He said.
"Hello Billy." I said and gave Billy a hug and told him how much I missed him too, he was always like a second father to me. I stood back up after the hug and smiled down at him.
"Nice to have you back Bella." He said returning the smile.
"Bella." I heard before I was inflected into a hug by two dainty arms. Another pair of dainty arms wrapped around me form behind.
The hug ended and I saw it was Kim and Emily, they smiled at me, half of Emily's face was a slight frown caused by her scares.
"Bella I missed you so much. I was so sad when you left, I mean we all were of course. Then Jared comes two days ago and tells me your coming back. it made me so happy." Kim Said giving me one more hug to be sure I got the message.
"Yes Bella we all were very upset that you left, although we understood we wish you wouldn't have left." Emily said kindly.
"It's great to be back guys." I said smiling at them.
Sam came up with a baby in his large arms. She was beautiful, she had copper skin and light brow eyes, she had a little tuff of hair on her head and two of her front teeth had grown in. Her eyes were wide looking at me under her long lashes, she was wrapped in a pink blanket but one of her tiny hand were free and they reach for her mother.
"Hello Bella." Sam said smiling down at me.
"Good to see you again Sam." I said smiling back.
Sam gave the little angel to Emily and gave me a hug lifting me off the ground in the process. I laughed and squeezed him tighter.
I finally got put down and no sooner had I been put down I found myself being dragged in some direction. I found that I was being pulled by Embry towards a girl, Hannah I suppose, I let out a chuckle as he stopped in front of her.
She was an inch shorter then me, her skin was dark like everyone on the res, She hand long dark brown hair that was two shades lighter then her dark skin. Her eyes were stunning emerald green. Her lips were thin and her eyes were filled with worry.
"Bella, This is my beautiful imprint Hannah, Hannah this is Bella the blood sucker slayer." He said grinning.
I looked at her up and down, she seemed to shrink back a little, then I met her eyes, they were still filled with worry and a little fear but her eyes flickered over to Embry and then they hardened. They filled with determination and love and I knew that this girl was worthy of Embry, because she loved him and stood in front of me for him, because he loved me like his sister. with that I gave her a big toothless smile, she gave a smile back.
"Nice to meet you Hannah, Embry has told me so much about you." I said.
"Same here." her voice was soft and her tone was sweet, she held out her hand.
I ignored the hand and gave her a small hug she was surprised but hugged me back.
"Well it was lovely meeting you Hannah but I must go see the girl that makes Paul pull funny faces." I said before I walked towards Paul who had Rachel standing next to him.
"Rachel it's been a long time." I smiled and gave her a hug too.
"Too long I'll say." She said hugging me back.
Rachel and I were best friend when we were little she was a year older then me and we lost contact after I stopped coming to forks in the summer.
"It's really good to see you again." She said looking at me and smiling at me.
She was a half inch taller then me, with the same colour skin as her brother and father, she had big brown eyes and long black hair. She had long dark eyelashes that touched the tip of her high cheek bones every time she blinked.
"It's good to see you too, you look great." I said smiling at her.
She gave a little laugh and then her eyes met mine, "You look great too Bella, it's no wonder why my dear brother moons after you." She teased.
I started to laugh, "That's so ironic." I said and she gave me a questioning look. I turned around and pulled my hair out of the way so she could see the patch. She let out a laugh to, it was girly but too deep to be considered a giggle.
"Well I'd hate to break this up, but it's time to tell the stories." Jacob interrupted not sounding sorry at all.
"Okay then." I said smiling up at him, he gave a light, soft smile back before I turned away towards the GleeKs standing at the edge of the yard huddled together.
"Guys it's time to hear the stories. The Quilute tribe only rarely tells their legends to outsiders so just stay quite, I don't care if you want to ask a question or if you need to go to the bathroom. Don't talk, it's very disrespectful." I said looking at each of them sternly, they nodded and I led them over to the bonfire.
Billy started the legends everyone hanging on his word every word. Billy just had that aura around him, the one that made you listen to him, but I managed to tune him out. I was thinking of what I was going to have to tell them, I'd never told anyone the full story and if I was going to get it out I'd have to tell every single bit of my story and the Cullen's or I would start to miss big things or just cut the story and leave. Soon I noticed the buzz of Billy talking stopped, my eyes cleared from the dazed blur they'd been.
"Bella, would you like to tell your story now?" Billy asked, I hadn't realised that I'd been in thought that long.
I straightened and gave a nod then looked around and found everyone was looking at me and wailing for me. I took a breath and started.
"The first time I saw them was on my first day at Forks High. I was seventeen and I'd just moved to Forks after my mother had re-married to a minor league baseball player. I was sitting in the cafeteria sitting with a girl I met in my English class, Jessica. I didn't remember the others names at the table though. But it was then they caught my attention, there were five of them siting in the furthest corner of the room, far away from any of the other people. They weren't eating even though they had a full plate of food in front of each of them. They weren't doing anything, not talking or even looking anywhere particular, not even each other. I asked Jessica who they were, she giggled and started to gossip about them. They were the Cullens and Hales, Rosalie and Jasper Hale, they were both blond and Rosalie was by far the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. And Emmett, Alice and…Edward Cullen. They all looked so different from each other, yet very much the same. They were all pale with prominent features and really beautiful. Jessica said they were all adopted by Doctor and Mrs Cullen, and they were all paired up, Rosalie with Emmett and Jasper with Alice. I asked for the other ones name, she looked over and Giggled, his head shot towards her as if she had called him and he'd already decided not to answer. He looked away again and his lips started to move rapidly, as if he was talking to his siblings but they didn't even look at him. The next time he looked over, it was at me. His face was confused and frustrated. I didn't have much time to think on it when I had to go to my next class.
"…Edward was in my biology class and I had to sit next to him. It was strange because as soon as I sat down and looked over at him he wore this expression of undying hate. A murderous look that made me was to sink into the floor to escape his heated gaze. Later he told me he was trying not to kill everyone in the classroom just to drink me dry, my blood called to him. He made it through the class and then ran out as the bell rang.
"The next time I saw him was when I when to get my slip to the office, He was there trying to change his biology class, as soon as I walked in he stiffened. Again he was trying to fight the erg to kill me and the only other person in that office but again he fought and ran away from me.
"I didn't see Edward for the next week. When I did it was a snowy day I hated the snow. It was cold and wet and it made uncoordinated people like myself fall more often. I was…nervous, about sitting next to him, what if he hated me and looked at me as if he wanted me to die again. But I went, he was nice which baffled me, he smile and introduced himself and talked politely. I when to my last class after he ran off.
"The next big thing that happen would have to be the van incident. It was the next day in fact, I was standing by my truck, holding the back for support so I didn't slip and fall. Then I heard a screech of tiers I looked up and my attention landed on Edward who was across the parking lot, he was wearing a horrified look. Then I turned my head and saw a van heading right for me, people were screaming, I closed my eyes waiting for the impact, for the pain of the van crushing my body against my truck. But before the truck could hit me I felt something knock into me from the side. I hit my head and got I small bump But I knew I what I saw. Edward had knocked me out of the way and the van hit him instead and in the van was an imprint of his shoulder. Then in an instant we were out of the way by another set of cars and he was asking me if I head was all right. When I asked he just kept saying that I hit my head and that I was delirious and I needed to go to the hospital. He kept saying that he was standing next to me and simply pushed me out of the way. But I knew what I saw and he eventually said told me that he'd tell me later.
"I, of course, asked him at the hospital, his father worked there and treated me. He told me to drop it, I didn't and he ignored me for a long time. I still told everyone that he was standing next to me and he pushed me out of the way.
"It was silly to think that the next time he talked to me was to tell me he wasn't really talking to me and that he didn't think it was good for us to be friends." I chuckled a little the carried on.
"He really did irritate me that day, I was being hounded by invitations to some trivial dance and he just kept popping up laughing or worse, he was helping them out. I considered smashing that pretty little Volvo of his." I frowned.
"I was invited to go to the beach with some of the kids at school. I invited Edward, we were getting on better by then, He didn't end up coming though when he heard the beach but he brushed me off. So that weekend I went to La Push beach with my friends, Jacob and Sam were there. Sam made a comment about the Cullens not coming to La Push and it got me curious to why. I took a walk with Jake and I…persuaded him into telling me. He told me about the Protectors and the cold ones. He was the one who told me what the Cullen's really were, he didn't really believe the stories or he wouldn't have told me." I said giving Jacob a small smile.
"That Monday was sunny and none of the Cullen's came to school and that afternoon I went dress shopping with Jessica and Angela to help them pick out their dresses for the dance. I wasn't really into the picking out dresses so I left to find a book shop that we had passed. I found it but the selection was limited and took a walk to find another one. It was getting dark and I was lost, I ran into these drunk men, they followed me, they had me cornered, two were in front of me and two were behind me. I was scared, no one was around, I had left my pepper spray in my jacket that was in Jessica's car, but I was still prepared to fight. Just as they were closing in on me a silver Volvo came screeching around the corner and nearly ran over the men. Edward jumped out of the car, his eyes were pitch black, a change from the topaz orb he had when I last saw him. He saved me then took me to dinner. I found out he could read minds, every single mind…but mine.
"on the way back home we were talking, I learnt a lot about vampires, They didn't burn in the sunlight, they could come out at day time, they didn't sleep in coffin's, in fact they couldn't sleep. It was also then that his…diet came up, he got kind of testy about it, he didn't hunt humans, but animals, he didn't want to be a monster. It was like he was warning me to say away but at the same time justifying him actions, like he was torn.
"He took me hiking one weekend, it was kind of stupid to run off into the forest with someone who wanted to kill you when they first met you, someone who explained that I was his perfect brand of heroine. It was there that he showed me what happens when he was in the sunlight. When the sun hit him it was like his skin was made of diamonds, he literally sparkled." I gave a short laugh at the irony someone that could kill you in a nanosecond could have sparkles that could make a fairy jealous.
"He took me to meet his family, I was so nervous that they wouldn't like me. They were lovely, nicest family I ever met, Esme was the perfect mother type, so warm despite her cold skin, Carlisle was nice too I didn't get to met him very long I did here about him though. He was the oldest of them all. He was turned in the sixteen fifties, He was the sun of a persist and hunted vampires and other creatures that lurked in the night. Anyway he was changed and hid away when he was being changed, he didn't have a single drop of human blood even in his blood lusting new born faze. One day he was walking the hunger was terrible and he lost control and ended up draining a deer and that's how he became a vegetarian. He spent some time with the Volturi, vampire royalty, then he left to work on his control enough to become a doctor. Anyway he changed Edward when he was dying of the Spanish influenza, then Esme when she felt form a cliff. He found Rosalie bleeding to death on a side walk and Rosalie found Emmett being mauled by a bear and brought him to Carlisle. Alice didn't know who changed her, she just woke up in this vampire world and had her visions lead her, Alice can see the future." I added.
"Jasper…Jasper was different from everyone else, He was 17 when he joined the confederate army in 1861, he lied to get in. He was the youngest major not even considering his real age." I said slightly proud just as Jasper had sounded when he said it. "He was changed by a woman named Maria who was creating an army to fight for land, feeding land, with Jaspers gift, He could feel and control emotions, and his war experience he became her pet and trained her army for her. He was the best fighter, the strongest and easily put fear into his opponents, no one wanted to go against him and those who did regretted it. It was how he earned the name god of war.
"The Cullen's took me to watch them play baseball, it was a thunderstorm and the only time they could play. Every time they hit the ball it sounded like a crack of thunder. Half way though the game Alice had a vision, there was three nomad's passing though and heard their game and wanted to see if they could play. The Cullens tried to mask my scent but the wind changed direction and one of them caught it, he was a tracked and the Cullens made it his most exciting game ever when they protected me. They left but Edward knew that James, and his mate Victoria, would come back to take me. We had come up with a plan, I would go home and tell my dad I wanted to go back to Arizona with mom. Then I'll get into my truck and go to the Cullens and head out to Arizona and hide out in a motel with Jasper and Alice while the others lead them away. The plan was going great, they lead two fake trails, one for both James and Victoria, and they also stayed to protect my dad and the rest of the town.
"The plan was going well but then they lost track of James and Victoria was slippery, Edward booked a ticket to Phoenix and was going to take me away to hide. But before he got here I got a phone call from James, He had my mother. He said if I didn't meet up with him at my old ballet studio alone she would die. So when we went to the airport I lost Alice and Jasper and went to meet him. It turned out he tricked me, he didn't have my mother. He…played with me a bit, threw me into the mirrors and broke my leg while recording it so that when I was dead Edward would chase him for revenge. I refused and I was bleeding heavily and that's when he bit me." The small rumbles on the pack turned to full threatening growls but I ignored them to carry on.
"Edward showed up and they started to fight, he was alone because he was the fastest and they fought, I don't really remember what happened as I was in so much pain but the other showed up and killed James. Carlisle was trying to stop me from bleeding out, my head was dizzy from the loss of blood or the smell or the giant cut in my head but I remember the burning in my hand. I remember the feeling of my blood being on fire and everything else seemed to just be a tingle compared. I was dying, but Edward sucked the venom out of me, He told me later that he almost didn't stop, almost didn't have the control to stop, but he did. I passed out after that.
"Emmett and Jasper killed James and burned his remains and the ballet studio down destroying evidence of the fight, I was taken to hospital and they made up a story. I went back to Forks after I was discharged.
"The next thing happened on my eighteenth birthday, Alice through me a party at their house. I was opening presents when I got a paper cut. It was only one drop of blood but it was too much for Jasper with everyone's blood lust to make matters worse Edward tried to push me out of Jaspers reach and I was knocked into the table of glass. They dragged Jasper outside and away from all the blood, everyone else had to leave too, their was just too much. Carlisle clean and stitched me up, suffice to say that the party was over, Edward took me home.
"Edward was distant after that and then he met me outside of my house when I got home from school. He asked me to take a…walk with him. We got just a few feet into the forest when he stopped and told me that They were leaving, that I should move on, that he didn't want me and that I would never see him again. Then he was gone…and silly me tried to caught him, as impossible as it was, I didn't even see which direction he went in.
"Then I tripped and didn't bother getting back up…I was numb but I felt so much pain… I guess I was numb with pain. Sam found me and took me home. I was a zombie, for lack of better words, I was running, but no one was home. Dad finally had enough and threaten to send me to Jacksonville if I carried on. So in an attempted to stop his worries I went to the movies with Jessica. We were walking after the movie when I saw some men at the bar across the road that reminded me of someone. I walked across the street as I got closer I heard a voice in my head. It warned me away from them, it was then that I realised that they looked like the guys that cornered me last time I was here with Angela and Jessica. I also realised that the voice was Edward's, my mind and projected a exact replica of his voice to keep me from danger.
"It was after that I started to do reckless things just to hear that voice, to keep him close. I picked up some motorbikes and Jake helped me fix them up. Jacob turned into my sun, he made me feel something other then pain and numbness, Jake's my sun." I said smiling at him. "But I was broken. Then he got sick when we were at the movies, he went home and Billy said it was mono and I couldn't see Jake and without my sun I was an empty black hole of pain and disappear.
"The first week he'd been sick I'd gone hiking to find a place Edward had taken me thinking it would bring his voice back so I wouldn't be alone. I found it but it looked like it was dying. That's when I saw Laurent, last I heard he had gone to Alaska to learn to be a vegetarian with some of the Cullen's friends. But he was here and his eyes didn't have that golden colour animal blood gave his eyes were red. My stomach sunk when I heard that he was here on Victoria's request, but then he told be that he was hunting and that he couldn't resist me. My blood was just so mouth watering, Edward's voice was with me and I was ready to die.
"He was about to bite me but stopped and looked into the forest, my human eyes couldn't see what it was but it scared him. It was then that five giant horse sized wolfs came into view, they ignored me and took off after Laurent. I ran back home and told dad.
"I visited Jacob a few days later and he sent me away, told me not to come back. I was convinced that he'd joined Sam's gang like Embry had, which was true. But that night he came to my house and into my window on the second floor. I was tired and didn't know what he was going on about. He was trying to tell me what was going on, I knew that much, but he kept stopping, he was talking about the day we took a walk on the beach and he told me his stories. I could only remember the cold ones part in my sleepy state.
"I figured it out and some of the pack had a problem with me knowing at first but he, they changed their mind when they found out that the vampire that had been trying to get around them was after me. It was easier to protect everyone now that they knew what she wanted. The pack still had to protect La Push and Forks so I was alone again, Victoria was hunting me, the pack was hunting Victoria and my dad was hunting the pack.
"I was guilty that I was putting everyone at risk, dad, between searching through the forest taught me how to use a guy and some self defence. He had also given me a handgun, legally of course, to protect myself. I also started to take ballet again to keep myself busy and got more graceful, I also found out I could sing.
"It was one night I came home from ballet class that the door to my house was open I walked in cautiously, there was a red trail leading upstairs to my room so I followed it. There was six stuffed wolves with knives in them stuck to the wall with red liquid dripping from them. Next to them was photo's of the pack in human form, and there was a picture of Emily and Kim next to the Sam and Jared wolves. There was a slash across them, then there were other photo's, Dad, Billy, Sue, everyone that meant something to me in Forks and La Push. And there was a big black board and calved into it was the schedule of the Packs patrol, it had my schedule and my dad's too. Just under the board was a note from Victoria, it said that if I wanted everyone to live that I would leave Forks and La Push.
"So I changed everything about me, I got a hair cut, and darkened it, I changed my soaps and conditioner so that my scent changed. I drove over to the Cullens and broke in then I went to each of the rooms except for one and emptied them of the money. In Alice and Jasper's room was a big black bag and a note from Alice, the bag was full of money. She saw I would need it but didn't know why so she had come back to gather it for me. I stopped in at Carlisle's study and got some needles before I left, then I got in to one of the Cullen's cars and drove.
"I drove and drove until I reached Ohio, I'd change cars every time I'd see a big car dealers, of course I didn't sell the Cullen's car I simply left it in a garage. I'd also wore some of Jake's clothes and just walked around before I went to a car dealers in some cities. It took me two weeks to reach Ohio Lima, and I bought a house when I got there, I had it modified a bit. I then go started on protection, I knew that if Victoria ever found me that I was dead, I had been at the mercy of a vampire before, and it scared me. So I started to make some bullets that could penetrate vampire skin out of some of Jacob's and Paul's wolf teeth that got knocked out during one of their fights. The bullets were great when they were finished, they could go through anything, but the problem was that they couldn't kill a vampire, only wound one. So I got the needle's and extracted some venom from the bite on my wrist, I got a bit and I coated the bullets with it. Jacob had told me that vampire venom was very flammable and as long as the fire hits it the vampire's dead so when I tested my new bullets I held a flame in front and the bullet was flaming, it burnt down five trees, I felt safer.
"I then started to feel an itch in the back of my mind of what ifs, what if I lost my guns, what if they won't fire, what if they dodge it, what if they broke the gun, the bullet's would be useless then. What if their too close and I can't shoot. There was too many flaws with that weapon so I thought of a knife. It wouldn't kill them either but it could let some of their venom lose and distracts them long enough for me to throw a lighter at them. So I made two knives with my last three teeth I had.
"For the first two weeks I carried around my weapons but I was afraid to get caught with them and I felt that if she would had been able to find me she would have found me by now, that or Jake and the Pack would have. For two year's I knew we were safe, I would check out news in Washington to make sure that everything was all right, and it was. Then a couple day's ago Jake found me and Victoria too." I finished.
Everything was silent for a minute or two, everyone just soaking in what they had heard. It was a lot to take in after all, Emily and Kim were in tear's the Pack was shaking, Charlie was in shock, Billy was frozen. There was a range of emotions on everyone's faces.
I was the one to brake the silence. "So…Can we eat now I'm hungry, I bet I could eat more then Quil and Jacob put together." The was some laughter and just like that the awkwardness vanished.
"Hey Bells." Embry said from across the fire.
"Yes 'Bry?" I asked.
"Can we see your gun and knives?" Embry asked Quil added a 'yeah'.
"Sure." I said and took out the two guns from their holster, I gave one to Embry and one to Quil, I handed the smaller knife to Paul and the bigger one to Jacob and Sam. The examined them, looking, feeling and smelling them.
"Be careful, of the venom on the blades, its poisonous to you and I'm not sure what would happen if you cut yourself." I warned to Paul who was about to slice his finger to see how sharp it was.
They passed them around making sure to remember my warning.
"Bella do you think you could make one of these for Hannah?" Embry asked as he gave the knife back.
"If you I can get some more teeth. But it won't have venom on it." I answered.
He grinned widely and nodded then he punched Quil hard in the mouth he landed on his butt. Quil spat out three teeth and some blood.
"What the fuck Embry?" He said glaring up at him as he sat up.
"I needed some teeth." He said picking up the Quil's teeth he'd spat out and held them out for me to take.
"Um…Embry, he needs to be in wolf form when you get the teeth or it won't be big enough." I said to his trying to hold in my laughter, the others were rolling around laughing.
"Oh." Embry said and dropped the teeth in Quil's lap disappointed.
Quil picked up his teeth and put them back in place muttering something about being faster then growing new ones.
"Hey 'Bry, didn't you have some thing you wanted to do?" I asked winking at Quil while Embry wasn't looking.
"Oh yeah, I just finished it." He said his eyes lightened up and the ran into Billy's house and came back with a guitar.
"I wanted to Sarah - Sarah-nad, I wanted to sing a song for Hannah." Embry said smiling.
He started to play, the same three chords over and over again, then he started to sing.
"I'm so sorry,
I bit your pussy…Cat.
Just so sorry,
Didn't, mean, to do…that.
Hope you'll forgive me,
And let my by your…kitty.
I want to pet her,
'Cause she's sooo…pretty."
It was silent for awhile before everyone started to laugh, rolling around, holding their sides and gasping for air.
Hannah was bright red and glaring at Embry.
"I wanted to say sorry for biting Ms kitty, Bella told me it would be a good idea to sing a song but there's really no song about accidentally biting your girlfriends cat." He said rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Wait." Quil said stopping his laughed, "You mean that song is about her cat and not about her…" Emily shot him a glare, "Um…of course it's about her cat what else could it be about." He said looking at the ground trying not to burst out laughing again.
The night was filled with laughter, I caught up with everyone, Sam now was a partner of the construction company he was working at when I left. Jared and Kim were going to collage classes in port Angela's state three times a week. Jacob, Embry and Quil were in their last year of high school. Dad was still Chief of police in Forks but Paul was now his deputy, Paul lived in a house across the road from Billy with Rachel too. Seth, Sue's son was 17 and Leah, Sue's daughter was 23. The newest two where Collin and Brandy, they were twins and 16 but looked to be twenty.
It was late and we were headed home, the drive back was quiet and uneventful. I parked and jumped out glad to be home. I took three steps when Jacob came out of no where and held me back.
"No Bella, I smell leach." He growled holding me back.
A car caught my attention, it was a black Mercedes, Carlisle's black Mercedes.
"That's Carlisle's car." I said trying to get free of Jacob's grasp.
"It could be a trap, Bella if a Cullen is back, this is their territory. I can't protect you all here." He said looking at me.
"It's just the Cullen's." I said still trying to get free, I succeeded but he still had my hand.
"Your about to cross a line." He said.
"Then don't draw one." I said I snatched my hand back and when to the door, I took out my little knife just in case and opened the door. It was dark when I walked in, I turned on the light and got a fright, standing a foot away was someone I hadn't seen in three years.
"Alice." I shouted in glee throwing myself at her to give her a hug.
"Bella." He soft soprano voice said.
I pulled away and smiled at her, My best, vampire girl best that is, friend.
"Would you like to tell me how your alive? I had a vision, you said Victoria and then you vanished, I though she killed you. I came to see if Charlie was all right." She said.
"Um, I set her on fire." I said.
"How - Oh what is that god awful smell." She said leaning away from me
"Me, I mean Jacob, he's kind of a werewolf." I said slightly sheepishly.
"Aw, Bella werewolves are bad company to keep." She sighed.
I started to get angry at her, she left for three years without a good bye and when she gets here she tells me that the people who fixed me, the people who put the broken pieces of me back together, are bad company?
"You leave without a goodbye for three fucking years and you only decide to come back is because you think I'm dead and even then it's for Charlie? Then you go on to telling me the people who helped me heal after Edward left me in the woods broken, are bad company? Well listen here Alice, Jacob is my best friend, he and the pack protected me and the ones I love from the vampire that wouldn't even be after me if it hadn't been you Cullen's. Where were you when Victoria was chasing me? or when Laurant was about to kill me? or how about every single fucking night for two years that I'd wake up screaming from having had a horrible nightmare about Victoria coming and killing me and my dad? Or the memory of Edward leaving me? the worst nightmare was just an abyss of nothingness. Gone that's where. How about when my chest hurt so bad that I'd fall in pain, or when I was so thin because I couldn't eat and when I did I was sick. When I got so thin that I started to become shorter. How about when Charlie wanted to have me commented into an asylum. Where were you then Alice?" I yelled.
She was dry sobbing now and she was looking at me in horror struck sadness.
I calmed down and when I spoke again it was a whisper but with her sense's she would have said it loud and clear. "Where was my sister when I needed her?"
"I'm so sorry Bella, if I would have known-" she sobbed out but I cut her off.
"I'll tell you a story Alice. There was a man who worked all the time, he had two children and a wife. One day his wife comes bursting into his office and tells him that his son died, he'd killed himself because he'd been teased at school. They thought he was gay because he liked to dance ballet, and his father had never been around to do guy stuff with him. His mother knew he was being bullied but couldn't do anything, she'd changed his school twice and called the schools numerously. The man looks at his wife and said 'if I only would have known I'd have done something about it.' His wife looked at him and said 'you would have had to have been there to do something, you would have had to have been there to know, but it wouldn't have happened if you had been there.'" I finished looking into her slightly glazed eyes.
"Of course you didn't know Alice, I have no doubt you would have done something but the only reason it happened was because you weren't there, because you didn't know and because you hadn't done anything before you left. Alice I still thing of you as my best vampire girl friend and some times sister, but you can't leave for three years and expect for it to be like you never left." I said sadly.
"Bella I-" she stopped talking as she was pulled into a vision. She sat there motionless with glazed eyes.
She pulled gasped and her vision ended.
She looked at me and pulled me with her out of the house she suddenly stopped, Jacob was blocking the was, his body shaking slightly, ready for if he needed to faze.
"You must be Jacob, there's no time can you get your pack here, four vampires are on there way here, they'll be here in fifteen minutes." She said in a slightly panicked voice, "They want to kill Bella."
Those were the key works Jacob took a few steps back and exploded, forgetting or not caring, about his clothes, which got shredded when he phased.
The Jake wolf then threw its head back and let out a ear splitting howl. After a few minutes giant wolves came bursting out of the trees. The fell into line, Sam in front with Jacob and Jared flanking him and all the other wolves in front. I noticed that there was only two wolf I didn't recognise.
Sam stood tall and imposing much the same as Jacob and Jared but the others were crouched and ready for attack. I knew that being a human in the middle of a group of wolves that killed vampires and standing next to a vampire was crazy, but I'm sure if I had any sanity in the first place in would have fled when Edward left.
Then I remembered, I wasn't the only human here, there was nine other slightly more saner humans here, one's who were defenceless against a vampire, no protection at all. I turned to Alice.
"Alice I have to get to my friends, help me." I said pulling her over to the car.
They were sitting in the car still staring up at the wolves with shock and fear. Of course they knew but see the expression on their wolf – like faces and hear the growls ripping from their chest.
"Guys get inside now." I said firmly.
"What the fuck is happening now." Santana snapped now here eyes not moving from the giant wolves assembled to protect us.
"what's happening is your going to get the hell inside then Alice is going to go with the wolf and intercept the vampires before they get into town." The list part I said to Alice who gave a quick nod.
Everyone rushed inside and Alice helped Artie in with his chair. I took the time to tell Sam that Alice would take them somewhere out of town where the vampires would be, I told him to trust her. He was a bit sceptical still.
"Sam do you trust me?" I asked.
His big head nodded immediately without hesitation.
"So trust me and trust Alice, I trust her with not only my life but with my friends and yours." I said. It meant little to them if I said I'd trust her with my life because, as the said, 'you've put your life in the hands of leaches and wolves, you don't have much self preservation.' But the likes of those around me were more important in my eyes and they knew it. So Sam gave a determined nod to me and I smiled back and as Alice arrived next to me.
"Alice go with them and make sure that no vampires get into town." I told her.
"But Bella what if they do get passed? What will happen then?" she said slightly panicked.
"Don't worry besides Sam will probably make someone stay, but you have to go now Alice before they get here." I said and gave her a big hug, she returned it then we pulled away.
"Okay Bella see you soon." She said and in a flash they were all gone except for a sad looking wolf that I didn't recognise. I smiled to him, or her if it was Leah, and went inside.
Everyone was in the living room sitting or standing. They looked up when in with questioning looks on their faces.
"There are a few vampires coming to kill us but don't worry the Packs got it under control, they have Alice too." I said lightly, I really just wanted this day to end so that I could go to bed, I had had a proper sleep in three or four days.
"So what we just sit here and hope that these vampires don't get passed them and kill us?" Quinn said incredulously.
"No you can stand, go to bed, maybe watch some tv, I'm sure there's a Simpson's marathon on right now." I said smiling, I didn't know if the Simpson's was on or not.
"What did you usually do when they were out hunting vampires?" Mercedes asked inquisitively.
"Worry about them, worry about my dad, worry about dying, cry, rock myself in a fettle position and try not to get sucked in to a pit of despair." I listed in a slight monotone.
It was silent not even Britany was wearing her usually smile.
"So…how about those Jets." Mercedes said, breaking the silence.
"Which ones?" Puck asked.
"I don't know I just heard it in a movie once to break an awkward silence." She said sheepishly. Everyone started to laugh and although it was short lived the tension eased a bit.
I took a seat on my dad's chair, no one was on it. It was quiet again everyone lost in their own thoughts.
What happened if more vampires come, what if there were too many for the Pack to handle they would die and it would be because of me. It was my fault that they would die because it was me they were protecting. But what could I do? I could run again because then I'd leave everyone in the shit, the Glee kids, The Pack, my friends and family. So I can't run, I can't fight, and I sure as fuck can't hide.
I was brought out of me reveal by the phone, it was ringing, it was probably my dad or Billy checking if everything's all right.
I got up and walked over to it and picked it up.
"Hello." I said the voice that on the other side almost made me drop the phone.
"Oh god Bella your alive." Edward exclaimed.
I panicked and started to sprout off nonsense at lightening speed. "Me no speaker the English. No Bella here. Wrong number. What sound does a truck make when it's backing up?" I then calmly and collectively slammed the phone into its cradle.
It was quiet for a little while everyone just looked at me but my attention was on the phone staring at it as if it would jump up and attack me at any time. I was broken out of my staring contest when there was a roar of laughter behind me followed by a room full of laughter.
I chuckled too, knowing that I did react oddly and I relaxed a little as the phone didn't ring again after a full minute.
I had mixed feelings about the call, part of me wanted to break and cry because I had a chance to talk to the one I loved and I freely hung up. That part was begging for the phone to ring again so I could hear his voice again even though it still echoed in my head now.
Another part wanted him to get the message and not call again, wanted nothing more then to live the rest of my life Edward free just like he promised it would be.
But there was another part that was strong then the other two, one that needed closer before I decided anything. I have an overwhelming need to tell him what he had done to me, not to hurt him or to get sympathy from him but just to get it off my chest. Sure I'd told others, I'd told strangers but I never told the one who did it, I never told the one who caused it, I'd never told Edward because I'd never been given the chance.
And for that I wanted him to call again so that I could tell him how much he hurt me, how much pain he cause, what he left behind for me even though he promised it would be like he never existed.
Ten minutes had passed and there was no call, the phone laid unmoving, I knew he wouldn't call again. He got what he called for, he knew I wasn't dead and so he had no reason, that he knew, to feel guilty.
It had been an hour from that phone call and I was getting worried. The pack would have surly killed the vampires and been back by now…if they killed them.
My mind started to make up horrible images of them dying to protect me, dying because of me.
What about the Imprints? The thought popped into my head. What would they do with out their wolves, what would Suzan do without her father, what will they do to me when they find out I was the cause. Why they would never see the loves of their lives, their soul mates, would they kill me. Well they would have to get in line cause if anything happened to any of the pack I'd gladly jump from a cliff and into some jagged rocks.
I was about to start pulling hair out when Seth ran though the door, he was not in tears as I imaged, or screaming that it was all my fault as I expected him to, imagined in the last twenty minutes.
His eyes were wide but not filled with fear or hate or sadness even, but they were panicked.
He locked eyes with me and I got the message, he wanted to tell me something and didn't know if I wanted the others to heard, he was debating if he should just tell or take me away.
Finally he started to talk coming to a decision that there was not enough time.
"Bella, the rest of the Cullen's are back and they wanna see you, Sam said is was only cool for Alice to see you but the blond chick said this was there land and we had no jurisdiction. Then when bronze boy said all he wanted to do was see you Jake attacked screaming in his head that he didn't deserve a chance to see you. Sam tried to Alpha lock Jake but for some reason it just won't work, so he told me to get you, because Jake will listen to you and so will that vampire." He was out of breath now and I was slightly stunned but I quickly snapped out of it.
"Okay Seth," I said calmly even thought I felt like running around the room screaming. "You go phase and I'll talk to them through you okay?"
He calmed down nodded and ran out side with me following behind.
Seth came out of the tree line as a wolf. He was a very light brown with a black back and a few black patches here and there. He was a bit smaller and shorter then the others but not by much.
"Jacob." I said feeling kind of funny staring at another wolf saying it. It was hard enough talking to the Jacob wolf when I knew it was really him.
"I want you to stop fighting now. If you die I'll find a way to bring you back just to kill you myself." I said sternly, Seth shook his head telling me it wasn't working.
Okay up another notch.
"Jacob if you get here in the next five minutes I'll kiss you for every second remaining in that five minutes." I said smiling sweetly and batting my eyelashes.
Seth shook his head again.
Well I'll have to bring out the big guns, I'll have to put my acting skills into practice.
My eyes started to water and my lips started to quiver, tears started to fall and I let out a loud sob.
"Please…don't. I-I d-d-on't want to b-be-e le-le-ft a-alone a-ga-aga-in." The rest came out to unrecognisable by the tears.
I fell to the ground and curled up in a ball. I would sob or say Jacob's name and a broken don't leave.
I wasn't sure that this was entirely an act. I knew that if Jake d-di-died I simply couldn't live, not after losing Edward. Jacob was my sun and just like the real sun, My world would slowly die with him gone.
I know it was a low blow but I seemed that I had no control over myself. My tears stopped and then I started to mutter quietly, 'He's gone', over and over in a broken voice.
I don't know how long had passed, it felt like hours or days, but then I felt a burning touch of Jacob's hot skin.
Jake pulled me into his chest and I gripped onto him as if he'd leave, as if he'd fade if I didn't hold him tightly enough.
When I'd calmed down I turned up to look at Jacob's face. I looked into his deep brown eyes that I'd gazed at on many occasions but never before had I looked into his eyes.
I felt a pull to him like I've only felt once before, when I used to look was caught in Edward's golden gaze. The pull of forever and the promise of eternally love. Just looking into Jake's eyes I knew that everything would be all right as long as he was with me.
"Bella." He whispered in awe.
"Jacob." I said in much the same tone.
"Bella, I think I just imprinted on you." He said as if he couldn't believe it, damn, I couldn't believe it but it explained this feeling.
Tell me what you think, review and read some of by other stories...please like 'So I did imprint on her?' I updated that as well.
