AN: Timeline changed. In TTS the pack is already full and developed but we start at the beginning of Twilight. TVD follows after 4x0 but the story line may alter. All respects go to the rightful owners, anything you don't recognise is mine. R+R lovelies xoxo
Well what can I say? I'm pretending to be a 17 year old girl that is just about to start her first day at Forks high. The reality? Yeah, none of that is true.
I'm sitting in this truck – my dear brother would laugh at me and wonder how someone got me into this thing, it would've had to be done kicking and screaming – I smile at the memory, sitting here and thinking how to do this. With one more deep breath and a mental prep reminding myself to allow the spell to do its thing, I step outside and push the truck door shut. Boy this is going to be one awkward morning.
To my surprise the morning wasn't so bad. Yeah, I got hit on by some horny teen, stared at plenty and could practically feel all the whispers but the spell let me ignore that. Now sitting at a round table in the crowded cafeteria didn't even make my throat itch. My senses may be dulled but they're still there and the moment that door opened, they went hay wire.
"Who're they?" I asked the girl opposite me, I think her name was Jessica but it's not like I really needed to remember.
"Oh. That's Edward and Emmet Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. The one who left was Alice Cullen; they all live together with and his wife." She said under her breath
O-Oh, they never told me that there would be Cold Ones here. I did not sign up for this, they could easily blow my cover.. ah but then again I could have them help me.. a somewhat sinister smile perks in the corners on my thin lips before disappearing. This might be easier done that we thought.
"They are… very nice-looking." I tried to build on my awkward girl façade, from previous experience I know people find it hard to come to terms with their beauty. Stupid witch had to create an abomination.
"Yes!" The girl agreed with a giggle. God, I'm stuck asking a groupie for information, save us all. "They're all together though – Emmet and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice, I mean. And they all Live together."
And she believed, never once questioning, that? Wow.
The conversation followed about the Cullens for the next few minutes without any more input from me, I was trying to decide whether I should call my twin and let him know about the change of plans. Maybe call for back up? No, that could cause unneeded ruckus. Hmm... What should I do, if anything?
The rest of the day went on, not much happened; well, not much until my last class: biology. The moment I went into the class I knew something was going to happen funny thing is, I didn't know what until the stupid ass teacher told me to sit next to pretty boy cool. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with in, but it might give me away when the leech can't control its thirst. Oh boy, with a heavy mental sigh and a panicked glance towards the groupie from lunch period, I sat down mentally reinforcing the spell.
With the smug smile on the inside I saw the kid move further away from me, nearly falling of the seat. If it wasn't for the fact that I need to help the twin, I'd be laughing my head off by now. The rest of the lesson went by pretty much the same as the morning. Boring.
I still don't understand why we can't just go to Volterra and snatch a Cold One from Aro. I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
The drive home was so long. To say that this red piece of crap was slow would be an understatement. By the time I actually crossed the town and got home, half an hour has passed. But never mind that, I mind the fact that my nose itches from the stench coming from down the road. A black jeep pulled into 'our' drive right after me and almost automatically Charlie came out of the house.
"Ah Billy! How're you, my friend? And Jacob!" shots Charlie as he walks down the stairs and waits till the younger man places the older one in his wheelchair, then engulfs the old man in a tight hug.
The young tan man went to close the door just as a breeze picked up his scent and blew my way. Shape Shifter? Interesting. Another new development. By the shape and size of his body, I feel like I should call him a man; the height of his frame and the size of those muscles trying to push through that tan skin… then again the moment I set my eyes on that face, or shall I say baby face, the thought of calling or doing anything to the boy flew out of the window. He was maybe 16, 17 at best and the shift took his childhood away.
It's sad almost, how he was sucked into this world by a force that he had no power over what so ever. Almost.
"Charlie!" cried Billy as the two men let go, "It's been a while. I brought Sue's chips, we should eat those before they get cold. Leave the kids to talk." He suggested, gesturing between myself and the shifter. The kids? Please, I was here before some witch made everyone think he was the son of god.
The two men went inside, with the help of the shifter as our house didn't exactly have wheelchair access. The boy turned to face me and came at me so fast to hug me that I couldn't retaliate without showing what I was.
"Bells! How've you been? I haven't seen you in so-" he started all excited then stopped and dropped me back on the floor. "You're not Bells. Where is she?!" he growled.
Can I just say that my spell wasn't supposed to allow this? Yeah, just wanted to make that clear. Though it is probably my fault…
"Er… What do you mean Jacob? I'm right here…" I answer uncertain, hoping that he will accept that this Bells changed scent; using a different shampoo or something.
"No. You're not Bells. Now tell me what you've done to her and what you are." He growled again as his form started to shake.
Aww shit. What now? Fuck.
"Jacob you're starting to scare me… What are you on about? And why are you shaking?" Yup, I decided to play the innocent act. What can a girl do?
By the time the words left my mouth the boy was shaking so badly I took a few steps back and heard some rustling in the bushes before a few more men run out.
"Jake! Calm down! NOW!" shots one of them, the bigger and old one, an actual man not a boy undercover. There was a sense of authority laced with his somewhat deep voice.
"No Sam! Can't you see that it's not Bella? That it's not HUMAN?" Jacob screeched throwing his arm around like he's cray-cray.
"Someone grab him! Take him to Emily's." shouted the same guy ordering the rest, clearly alpha. Correction, playing Alpha, shape-shifters don't run in packs under authority.
The two tallest of the dozen half naked boys dragged Jacob away towards the woods easily. Silence filled the air, how could Charlie not hear this? A few moments flew by unnoticed before the alpha turned towards me.
"Get in the truck, you're coming with us."
Without any further ado I was dragged into MY OWN truck and driven to the reservation. I can already tell that I like their attitudes, just not towards me. A little more respect would've been appreciated if you ask me. The tension in the truck was so thick you could hang a knife on it. It didn't ease up as we neared a desolated yet beautiful wood house, it just seemed to grow and grow until we pulled to a stop.
Out in front of the house I could see Jacob and the two other men standing there, waiting. This all seemed a bit too formal, as if they would be a threat to me. God even 'Vampire' Royalty wasn't a threat to me, why would a bunch of mutts be? What I won't do for the twin. He owns me big. Huge.
I have got to say though; one of the two men beside Jacob was something else entirely. His tan skin had that little more glow to it, a little more colour. His tall frame and lean but firm muscles seemed to call out, calling and whispering want, desire to be touched. His very dark, short, glossy hair naturally spiked up, perfectly matching his skin and body. And last but not least his eyes… brown with the flakes of gold in the inside… I couldn't look away.
Suddenly I was being manhandled out of MY truck. What The Fuck? Someone remind me why I'm not ripping these mutts to shreds? The alpha dragged me into the house, hastily passing by , and threw me onto the couch. The rest of the boys followed closely behind, coming to a short stop before the alpha and scattering around the room.
"Talk." The alpha barked the command.
Barked? Haha? No? Okay. I tried.
I muffed a chuckle and stared at him with my best scared expression. I don't really know how to look scared. "Talk about what? I don't even know who the hell you are!" I said raising my voice; I could imagine a normal human would start to get frustrated by this point.
"How dare you! Talk bitch." Snarled a voice to my left, I abruptly turned my head toward the feminine tone laced with venom.
My eyes landed on a tanned girl with short-ish hair. "Honey, we both know that I'm not the bitch in this room." I answered looking her in the eyes sternly.
Understanding shown through her eyes before anger peeked though. Before I knew it had his arms around her waist and was holding her in place while glaring at me. Boohoo, so there is something going on between those two… I raised my hand in a 'what did I do?' manner and turned back towards the alpha.
"What are you? Who are you? And why are you here?" He asked, must've figured asking questions might be a better option.
"I'm human? I am me, and I'm here because you dragged me inside this house after kidnapping me and stealing my truck." I answered. I couldn't help but chuckle mentally, this is going to drive him crazy.
The alpha looked at me as if to say 'you're really going to try that?' and sighed sitting down in the arm chair across from me. "I'm gonna ask again What are you? Who are you? And why are you here."
I started to answer exactly the same before I was cut off by , "Speak the truth Bitch!" he shouted before leaping across the end of the sofa and his palm landing shot of my cheek, leaving rather deep, three scrathes.
Motherfucker.
I looked at the alpha shocked. I was in so much shock I couldn't even feel the pain or the blood trickling down right now. WHAT THE FUCK. Just. Happened.
Everyone stayed stuck, motionless. Probably shocked too. For a few moments, even a human would be able to hear their speeding heat beats. Next thing I know, TDH was being pulled off the sofa and taken outside the door before I could blink.
"What the fuck." I said standing up and following the trio into the back yard. "Who the fuck do you think you are?" I shout at TDH, getting in his face.
"Bella stand back. Now!" shouted the alpha, "You could get hurt!" he shouted again as he tries to pull me back.
Eventually I let him, not before I slap TDH and then the alpha throws me back just as TDH explodes into a wolf, his paws flew inches before my face. Thank fuck for fast healing! Somewhere in the small space of what happened, my cheek healed, leaving only a trail on blood. I was dragged into the house again; I couldn't be bothered to fight them right now.
An hour or so passed before the rest of the pack came back in and the alpha smashed the door closed.
"Who the fuck are you." He stated looking at me.
"Isabella Marie Swan. We can play this game all day but I think Charlie might get a little worried." I answer, letting a little of my normal humour into my voice.
"Answer or I'll rip your throat out… with my teeth." Said from the far corner of the room.
I chuckled, the pup actually thought he could do some damage. "Really now?" I ask back amused. "I don't think that STI filled mouth is going anywhere near me, pup."
Shock and unbelief flew across his face so bristly that I nearly missed it, before replacing with rage which made me smirk. "What? Didn't think I know? I can smell those two traps still on you from last night. Or the one, the night before."
"Answer." Spoke the alpha sternly again, silencing TDH with one look.
"Again. I don't think so. I don't feel like telling you and you can't make me."
"Oh yes we can. Let me just call some friends over." He said while taking out his phone and walking over to the corner to speak.
I didn't bother listening to the whole conversation; I already knew what type of friends he was talking about. He snapped the phone shut and about two minutes later the back door opened.
Cold Ones.
