Golden Eyed King: 2
I woke up the next morning and saw that Edward was out on the balcony. I got up out of bed and walked out next to him. He was leaning over the railing, his hands gripping the banister. I wrapped my arms around his waist and watched as a slow and soft smile crossed his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
He let out a deep breath and looked out to the distance. He pointed. "Look."
I looked and saw a storm coming, which meant that everyone would be staying in the castle today, which also meant it would be loud and not very peaceful.
"We could always stay in the room." I told him.
"I suppose we could." He said and hugged me two his chest, kissing the top of my head. He groaned.
"What?" I asked and followed his gaze to the garden.
"I still say we should have ripped her to shreds after that stunt she pulled." Edward muttered.
"That wouldn't be a very good example for our children, now would it?"
He growled, like literally growled, when Tanya looked up and waved at us. I rolled my eyes and pushed Edward inside.
"Come on, your highness, we have to go warn our children." I said.
He nodded.
Tanya had a constant target set for Evelyn and me. She hated us, and only God knew why. Well, actually everyone knew why- she was a jealous bitch. Poor Evelyn had a sensitive heart, she couldn't handle the plate that Tanya always dished out.
Will and Edward on the other hand, she loved. She loved them a little too much. I wanted to pummel the little blood sucking leech. My husband could take care of himself, I trusted him, my son on the other hand- well, his hormones are that of seventeen year old boy. What do you think? I do trust Will, but I don't trust Tanya or her powers of persuasion.
We knocked on Evelyn's door and Will's who was right across the hall.
They opened their door and knew instantly something was wrong. We never knocked on their doors together at the same time unless something was going on.
"What's happening?" Evelyn asked, rubbing sleep from her eyes.
"Tanya's here. We just felt that we should warn you two." I said through clenched teeth.
Their faces fell. "What?" They screamed in sync.
I nodded. "So, be. Careful." I said looking each one of them in the eye.
"Can't we like, hide?" Will asked desperately.
"You two can, we can't." Edward said as he wrapped an arm around my waist.
Evelyn nodded and went up the stairs to the tower. Will nodded a goodbye before following his sister.
"Let's just get this over with, so we can go into hiding, too." I said.
Edward nodded. "Gladly."
We both a took a deep breath before walking downstairs where Tanya was already letting the maids feel the wrath of her. I need to give them a bonus after she leaves.
Tanya turned and smiled at us. "Why hello, love birds." She said.
"Tanya." We greeted.
"It's been too long." She said as she gave us awkward hugs.
"Really, I think it hasn't been long enough." I muttered.
Edward coughed, trying to hide his laugh.
Tanya smiled. "Oh, you always did have an odd sense of humor." She said.
I rolled my eyes. Did she have to tell me that every time she freaking saw me? Good God Almighty.
"Thanks." I muttered. "Well, make yourself at home." I told her as I pulled Edward up the stairs to the tower where Evelyn and Will were.
"As if she needed to be told." Edward nearly growled.
I walked into the tower and saw that Evelyn had also redecorated this room while she had been in here. Esme certainly did teach her well.
The round gray stone wall of the room was accented by the crimson velvet drapery. There was a black, round sofa, circling the whole wall. On one side a television hung on the wall. In the center of the room Evelyn and Will lay on a crimson colored carpet reading.
They looked up at us. "Is she gone?" Evelyn asked.
I shook my head. "Not yet, baby doll." I told her.
She sighed and went back to reading her book. I sat on the sofa, and Edward sat beside me.
We heard a commotion downstairs and instructed the kids to stay while Edward and I went to check it out. We got to the bottom of the stairs and gasped at what we saw.
There was Rosalie and Tanya, getting into it. Emmett was trying to pull Rose off Tanya, but it wasn't helping. Especially with Alice telling Rose what Tanya's every next move would be. Jasper was trying to calm the girl's down but nothing was working.
Then, we heard Carlisle's strong voice. Uh-oh. Not smart to get Carlisle mad. Scary thing.
"Stop. Both of you." He said. Both of the girls stopped. "Rosalie. I will talk to you later about how you acted, but for now, Tanya I think it would be best that you leave. Enough embarrassment has already been caused for Edward and Bella." He said firmly.
Tanya nodded and walked through the doors with her tail between her legs. That'll teach her, don't mess with Carlisle. He's the man. It doesn't matter that Edward and I are king and queen, nor does it matter that we technically own the castle. What Carlisle says, goes. There are many times that Edward and I had made decisions because of Carlisle.
"Rosalie," was all Carlisle had to say for Rosalie to start walking up the stairs and into his study. "Edward, Bella, would you mind coming?" He asked.
We nodded and followed him up the stairs to his study where Rosalie was currently sitting, waiting for the scolding. She reminded of when you're a little kid. You know, when you do something wrong and you beg your mom not to tell your dad. Well, in my case it was my godmother and godfather, but you get the idea. That's look that Rosalie had on her face.
I sat next to her and grabbed her hand.
She smiled softly at me then looked at Carlisle as he sat in his desk and remained silent for what was a few seconds, but it felt like hours.
"Rosalie, you have to learn how to control your temper. I realize that Tanya probably did something to upset you, but that doesn't make what you did right. Now, why did you get into that fight?" He asked but held up a hand to silence her for a moment. His gaze fell upon me and Edward. "And you two, weren't you supposed to stay with her all the while she was here?" He asked. We started to say something but stopped us as well. "Rosalie." He instructed.
She took an unnecessary breath. "She said something about Emmett. And at first I let it slide, but then she brought up Will and I just snapped. The kid is technically seven. I mean, do you realize just how wrong that is? I mean that's practically rape. She shouldn't be allowed anywhere near here until Will is at least eighteen." Rosalie said and was about to continue but Carlisle silenced her.
He then turned to us. "And you two, I thought that when she came here that one of you were to be with her to make sure she doesn't go haywire." He stated.
"Okay, so when we saw her coming, we went go tell Evelyn and Will. Then we got downstairs to meet her and she was already giving the poor maids panic attacks. We told her to make herself at home at went go check on the kids. We weren't even up there five minutes when we heard the commotion." I said.
Edward nodded. "We're sorry, Carlisle, and we realize what we did wrong." He said.
Carlisle sighed. "You kids need to learn how to take better responsibility." Carlisle said and looked at me. "I heard about that stunt you pulled at Volterra yesterday, Bella. You should know better than to threaten Aro. He could have easily had the both of you killed right then and there." He said then looked at Edward. "And you, you should know by now that you can't keep trying to avoid Tanya. The best way to get rid of her is by not giving her the satisfaction of hiding."
We all nodded.
"Now, obviously, I can't ground you all, but please just think about all that I just said." Carlisle pleaded.
"Yes, sir." All three of us answered symotamiously.
He nodded to us that we were free to go. The three of us got up and walked out, going down the stairs.
Emmett had a shit eating grin spread across his face when we got to him. "Dang, you guys. Talk about bad. Ass. It wasn't even ME this time." He said and laughed.
"Shut up, Emmett!" We all yelled in sync and hit him.
He laughed but stopped when he saw something behind us.
"Carlisle's right behind us, isn't he?" Rosalie asked.
Emmett nodded, and we turned around to smile innocently at Carlisle who was leaning against the banister of the stairs, his eyebrows raised disbelievingly.
"I believe I told all of you to think about what I said. I don't think talking to Emmett will help you do that." He said in a fatherly voice.
Rosalie went up the stairs.
The castle was set up to where when you walk through the front doors, you enter on the second floor, being the first floor is just a huge open basement. On the second floor was the dining room, conference room, library, kitchen, and living room. When you walk through the front doors, there's a huge staircase splitting into three on the third floor. On the third floor was Alice and Jasper's wing which was on the left, and Emmett and Rosalie and Emmett's wing on the right. The other stairs led to the fourth floor which was Carlisle and Esme's floor. The stair to the top floor which was the fifth floor were in a room at the end of the fourth floor's hallway. The fifth floor was had Evelyn and Will's wing, and Edward and I's wing.
With one last sheepish smile directed toward Carlisle, Edward and I walked up to our room, with our tails between our legs. Because, Carlisle he's the man.
A/N- So, looks like we won't be hearing from Tanya anytime soon, or will we? (hint, hint) hehe. Anyway. Looks like Carlisle is still the man of the house. Haha. R&R!
