Sorry about the slow update and short chapter. My computer is broken and I will have to start updating from my cellphone
Everyone turned to look at the front door as my father walked out of the house. He looked upset and I figured the conversation with mom didn't go very well.
"What's wrong dad?" I asked, hoping he had been able to get some answers out of her. He shook his head and looked somewhat put out.
"Renee said she was going to take the next plane to Forks." He muttered. I couldn't help but be excited though. Maybe she was coming to explain to me what was happening. She could tell me exactly what I was and how I could control it.
"That's great!" I exclaimed as I leaned into Alice and smiled. He shook his head and looked absolutely miserable. "Dad?" He sighed and looked up at everyone.
"I told her what was going on with you. I asked her why she didn't tell me about the werewolf gene or whatever you want to call it." He sighed again. "Then she told me that she was worried about my mental health. She thinks I've been drinking too much and that I am hallucinating. She had no idea what I was talking about." He muttered as tears formed in his eyes. Everyone looked shocked at his revelation. His shoulders slouched and I quickly walked up to him and pulled him into a tight hug. Jacob sauntered out of the house and stopped short.
"Wow, who died?" He asked when he noticed the grim looks on everyone faces. When no one answered his face became panicked. "Oh god, who died?" He asked, this time much more seriously. I broke the silence and told him what happened between my mother and Charlie. He calmed down significantly before getting a devilish grin on his face. Whatever he was thinking wasn't going to go over well with anyone.
"Jacob." I warned but he just gave me an innocent look.
"So neither you or Renee had any knowledge of Bella being a werewolf?" He asked Charlie. He just shook his head and looked down again. "Hmm, maybe the mailman would know something." He said causing everyone to gasp. Esme zoomed by everyone and right up to Jacob and grabbed him by the ear. "Ouch! Owwww!" He cried as she pulled him towards the house.
"How could you say something like that. I should wash your mouth out with soap." She scolded as she dragged him through the front door and slammed it behind them. Everyone watched slack jawed without saying a word.
"No! Please, anything but that!" I heard Jacob yell from the house. Moments later Esme reappeared and walked back to her spot beside her husband. I didn't miss the scent of soap on her though. Jacob also left the house looking as though he was feeling quite ill. When he went to talk a small soap bubble escaped from his mouth causing everyone to burst out laughing.
"I cant believe you actually did it!" Emmett cried as he gave Esme a light fist bump. She looked back at Jacob with a pointed look.
"Now you know better then to say things like that, correct?" She asked. He pouted and crossed his arms.
"Yes Ma'am." He said quietly as he tried to ignore everyone's laughter. Once everyone settled down Carlisle cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"I didn't think we would have to do something like this so soon but I believe it would be in everyone's best interest to set up patrols around forks. Not only has Jasper decided to continue feeding from humans, he also seems to want revenge. He isn't happy that Bella is with Alice and once he finds out Leah and Maggie are also together I don't know what he will do." Esme looked crushed and venom tears welled up in her eyes.
"I just cant believe he would do something like this." She said sadly. The rest of the Cullen's nodded in agreement. I don't think anyone ever really knew Jasper. The whole time they were together he had used his ability to fool them all.
"We should also keep an eye on Sam's pack as well. I doing think they will try anything but it's better to be face then sorry." Carlisle told everyone and we just modded silently. Alice began to run her fingers softly through my hair causing me to lose focus on anything else being said. The feeling was soothing and I felt a goofy grin spread across my face. I realized that as long as Alice was with me, everything would be alright.
