Chapter 2 – Bad Dogs!

Grey eyes scanned the small Forks diner. Trista couldn't believe she and Nyx had actually taken Emmett and his cousin Alec up on dinner after the game was over at nine.

Emmett smirked down at Trista. "Are you having a nice time?"

Trista nodded. "Yes I am." Trista's hand came up and toughed Emmett's forearm. "I'm sorry if I don't seem like it. I just get nervous around new people."

Emmett grinned as he nodded. "Yea I kind of noticed you were a tad quiet during the game. I'm sorry if I make you nervous. Or do I scare you? Sometimes me size scares others." It was true; he could put the fear of God into anyone with a look. Emmett wasn't exactly big on smiling around people he didn't know; which tended to scare the shit out of other people. But around his family he was a joker and loved to laugh and joke around.

Trista couldn't stop the smile as she shook her head negatively. "No of course not; just nervous I promise. How on earth could anyone be scared of you? You don't see like the type to be all mean or threatening."

Emmett scoffed a smirk. "You should really ask my brothers and sisters then. I'm glad I at least don't scare you."

His smile was sweet and genuine and really made her feel warm inside; it wasn't completely fake like every other guy from the rez that had tried to get in Trista's pants. She could sit there all night and stare at his eyes and dimples and his beautiful smile. She could listen to him talk about his family all night as well. His voice was deep and at times husky.

Alec smiled as he looked at Nyx. Her emerald green eyes were absolutely glowing when she laughed and her smile somehow brightened the diner they were sitting in. He wanted to touch her. He wanted to cup her face and kiss her lips, but he didn't want to scare her. Alec wanted to tell her the complete truth but knew it was way too soon.

Phoenyx laughed as Alec made faces and told her stories about when he was growing up in Italy. He had an uptight sister named Jane who according to Alec was stuffy and boring and he wanted to get out of Italy for years and just couldn't find the time. He claimed there was more to the story but didn't want to go into detail and bring the mood down.

Alec watched as Nyx leaned closer to him as her hand touched his jacket covered bicep. He could smell her scent of spiced apples. If he could eat human food, he would definitely be hungry for spiced apples all the time. Alec smiled down at her as her hand squeezed his arm slightly.

They both felt the connection between the two of them.

A couple of hours later, Emmett was standing outside of the diner leaning against Trista car. "Should I ask for your phone number or did tonight totally blow and you want to tell me to shove it?"

Trista couldn't help laughing. "No, tonight definitely blow at all. And if you check your phone later, you'll see my number."

Emmett smirked and his dimples peaked out again. "How did you…"

"You got up to use the rest room and left your phone on the table."

Emmett chuckled. "That's pretty smooth. I sure as hell wouldn't have thought of that."

Trista patted Emmett's arm. "You're all meat kid."

Emmett chortled from the back of her throat. Alec and Nyx couldn't help laughing along with him. Emmett opened the driver side door and watched as Trista smiled brightly as she got in behind the wheel.

Nyx patted Alec's jean covered butt. "And if you look back there you'll find my cell number."

Alec chuckled as he opened the passenger's side door and watched as Nyx disappeared into the Nissan Maxima.

Emmett and Alec watched as the girls disappeared down the road towards La Push. Emmett looked over at Alec. "We are in so much trouble."

Alec smirked. "Why's that man?"

Emmett shook his head. "Those are both rez girls. Chances are they are someway tied to or related to the wolves. There is no way anyone in their families are going to just allow them to date a couple of vampires bud."

Alec cringed. "What do you think will happen?"

Emmett shook his head. "I don't have a clue, but I'm sure they are not going to throw a parade and welcome us with open arms. Only time will tell at this point."

Alec nodded in full understanding as they got in Emmett's Jeep and took off back to the Cullen's home at the edge of Forks.

Trista dropped off Nyx at home and then went home as well. Paul hadn't called her a million times so he was clearly leaving her alone so she could have fun. Normally on Friday nights and weekends he let her run free. He knew school was constricting enough without having to be a pain in her ass twenty-four-seven.

Trista walked through the front door and saw Paul and his best friend and Nyx's older brother Jared sitting on the couch. She made a face it smelled like someone needed a diaper change. Her eyebrow rose as the smell seemed to get stronger the closer to go to the living room. Oh lord it was coming from the two pigs sitting on the couch munching on Doritos. "My God you two smell. I can't if it's from not showering or because you've both blown holes in the cushions on the couch."

Paul and Jared both cracked up laughing as they both inhaled they jumped up from the couch. Paul rushed over and growled. "Where the hell have you been?"

"Are you bi-polar?" Trista couldn't help but ask.

Jared rushed over as he started smelling her like Paul was. "You stink kid."

"Speak for yourself Dorito induced gas bag twins." Trista always had been quick tongued.

Paul growled. "Don't be smart Trista Lynn, you smell like a God damn vampire."

Trista rolled her eyes as she shoved her way past the two overly smell happy wolves. "Stop it you two. I don't have any bite marks on me anywhere, I still have a pulse. Knock it off you two."

Paul caught Trista upper arm in his overly warm hand. "I'm not kidding Trista. You stink of vampire scent. Where were you tonight? Tell me everything."

Trista sighed heavily. "Paul, Nyx and I went to the damn game and then went to a diner in Forks and had some food. That's all. We didn't go skipping through a coven of vampire's; or decided to give blood at the local vampire blood bank. We're both healthy and breathing. Sometimes you guys over react for no reason. Maybe there were vampires at the football game and I brushed against them. No one had red eyes that I saw."

Paul growled as he tried to control his temper. "Trista vampires are insanely intelligent and crafty about the way they hunt humans. You brushing up against them will give them your scent and then they have a way to hunt you. You have to trust me when I tell you these things. I know you're going to be mad but I do not want you going back to Forks. It's not safe there. I won't have you going someplace where I can't protect you. And I can only protect you on our land."

Trista rolled her eyes. "You're crazy you know that. Everything Sam has told you is burned into your brain as the only truth you know. So you want me to think the same thing. If vampires are so dangerous then why are they allowed in Forks High School? You told me yourself Bella Swan went to high school with a family of them and they didn't kill her. She just chose to have a different life."

Paul growled as he started to take a step towards his sister; Jared's hand shot out as he blocked Paul from getting any closer to his little sister, he knew if Paul did anything to her he would regret it for the rest of his life. "Look, Sam has been through all of this so he knows, he's not going to lie to any of us. And Bella Swan was a fucking idiot. I don't care what she CHOSE to do with her life. Once you cross the line into being a vampire, unless you're part of the Cullen family you are fair game for us to kill. And the minute you step foot on our land you…are…DEAD."

"You need mental HELP!" Trista grumbled through clenched teeth. She turned and walked upstairs to her room.

Trista sighed heavily as she fell back on her bed and flipped her cell phone out and dialed Nyx's number.

"Speak to me!"

Trista laughed into the phone. "Okay so just warning you now. Paul freaked out because he figured out we hung out with vampire's tonight. He's apparently banning me from going to Forks ever again. So be prepared to hear the same bullshit from Jared. They were both sniffing me over like I was some kind of tree and they were getting ready to pee on me to mark me."

Nyx laughed hard as she held her stomach. "Sounds like Jared. Last time I came home smelling like anything but the rez he FREAKED out; big time. Jared tried telling me I wasn't allowed to leave the house ever again. To which point mom and dad said he wasn't exactly in charge of me and couldn't put me on lock down every time I came home smelling funny to him because of his enhanced dog nose."

Trista laughed. "Wow, now I understand why those two nimrods are best friends. They even think alike. I feel like I should go out and smack their noses and yell 'bad dogs' and shame them."

"I would PAY big money to not only witness that but video tape it so I can show Kim my brother isn't as hot as he seems to think he is. They are both douche bags." Nyx chuckled.

"Fully agreed! Giant douche bags." Trista giggled.

"Twin douche bag mutts." Nyx accused.

The girls got off the phone and attempted to ignore their brothers for the remainder of the evening.
