Not You Again! Chapter 2
Whilst in forks we were staying in a large white house made of wood. It was a pretty house that had large blue shutters and lovely wild flowers surrounding it, with a large back yard that lead out onto the forest, so that we could get easy access to and from the forest. I had never relished the thought of killing another creature, human or animal, but I would rather it be the animal I was killing. Plus it's not as though we do it purely for pleasure like people hunt foxes and bears.
I was brought out of my inner justifications of what I am by a loud crash from downstairs, followed by a piercing scream, and the booming laugh that can only be Emmett McCartney. I smiled to myself as I went to see what was happening in my kitchen.
"Emmett McCartney you are so dead!" I heard Rosalie screeched. Followed a not quite as high screech from Nessie,
"Yeah you better run boy, because we are going to kick your sink-breaking butt!
As I walked through the door I couldn't help but laugh, I swear I tried not to but I couldn't help it. One of the taps from the sink had been crushed and a fountain of clear water was out all over the room. Just out of its range on one side of its room stood a soaking wet, extremely pissed, Rosalie hale, backed by an equally wet and just as angry Rennesmee. At the other end of the room Emmett stood dry and giggling with an extremely smug expression on his face. In his hand were the silver remains of the tap.
"What…happened…your…all wet" I got out during my loud snorts of laughter.
The room was silent for a beat before everyone started talking at the same time. Rosalie's bell like voice telling me how Emmett was being a jerk or something, Nessie saying how uncle Em did this and how aunty rose did that, and over that Emmett's booming voice came over the top of that saying something like "it was totally Roses fault".
"Ok, ENOUGH!" I yelled over them, and thank god, they shut up. "thank you, now Emmett why did you see a need to break our sink?"
"I didn't exactly break the sink itself, I only crushed the tap. And if it's anyone's fault its Rosalie's, she made me 'coz she said that water doesn't bother her and that she's not a witch, so I poured water on her to see if she melted" Emmett said with a great big toothy grin.
"So how did Nessie get brought into this?"
"She sided with Rose"
"Whatever Emmett, Mother I'm going to be late for school if I don't get going. Plus the rest of you are going to be late for work." Rennesmee said in her sweet little way.
"Yes, we're coming. Oh and Emmett clean that up before you leave" I said and smirked as his smug smile fell of his face, ran down the hall and slammed the door behind itself.
Rosalie grabbed Rennesmee hand pulled her upstairs and the pair of them where back in a flash, dressed in dry new clothes. Rosalie ran up to Emmett kissed his cheek and said,
"See you when you catch up honey!" and with that she was off down the same path the smug smile had used. Emmett's mouth was now hanging open in disbelief.
"Okay, Uncle Emmett we gotta go, clean this up and catch up as quickly as you can. I want you all to be there on my first day of school." Rennesmee said as she skipped off after Rosalie.
I chuckled and made off to follow them but stopped partway when I noticed Emmett's mouth was still gapping.
"I'd close my mouth if I were you. Oh and by the way and you're drooling" With that we girls set off for Nessie's 1st day of school.
…..x…..
We were halfway to school when Emmett caught up with us. We had been walking at just over human speed so he could catch up with us, however when he finally did we took off, not at full speed but a comfortable speed where we could run together. It didn't take us long to get to the small school that was tucked away at the forest's edge, however once there I instantly wished we were anywhere but.
If I had been paying attention and had not been too busy laughing at Emmett complaining about having to clean up the kitchen I would have noticed the sweet stench of another group of vampire's. As it happens I hadn't been paying attention, therefore I didn't notice until I looked up from laughing into a pair of angry, golden brown eyes situated at the far end of the school ground.
"Vampires" I hissed as I threw my arms out to warn my family.
Emmett was by my flanking my left side instantly, with Rennesmee on the other. Rosalie was standing just behind Emmett's shoulder where Emmett had pushed her, and I could tell instantly that he wasn't sure about me and Rennesmee not being covered by him. Typical Emmett.
In front of me were three more vampires-two male one female-which I had never seen before in my very long existence. I could tell instantly by the colour of their eyes and the slightly paler colour of their skin that they too were vegetarians.
The tall boy being flanked by the other two nodded his head almost imperceptibly then jerked it towards the forest never taking his eyes from the four of us. I in return nodded my head towards the forest also to show that I understood that they wanted to talk out of the range of prying human eyes and ears.
"Bella it's not safe, we shouldn't" Emmett whispered to me low enough so that the other coven would not hear.
"But we must if we are to stay here. Besides I want to know what they want to say" I said back.
"I've never met another coven of veggies before." Nessie added.
"Come on, Nessie you go first then rose and Emmett." I said
"Bells there are no way in hell I'm letting you go last, unprotected" Emmett retorted
"Well considering that I'm in charge then there is every way in hell that you are going to do as I say. Now, can we not look weak and unorganized and do as I say. Right. Now"
He reluctantly nodded his head and followed the girls into the woods, leaving me behind. I made a grand sweeping gesture to tell them to go first, and they unwillingly started walking forward into the tree's, thankfully giving me a wide birth as they did so. I followed after making sure nobody had noticed our exchange, even though it had only taken place for a matter of seconds and anyhow, no one knew us to realize our missing faces. Once I got to the woods, I hung back to appraise the other coven.
The taller of the two males-however slight the difference in height was-was muscular but nowhere near as muscular as Emmett. He had longish blonde curls that reached his shoulders and a handsome face. He looked to be in his late teens.
The next was a small pixy like girl with short spiky black hair and a sharp little nose and thin lips but insanely totally pulled them off. She looked to be no older than Rennesmee in human years.
The last was being flanked by the others was tall and muscular but not so much as jasper he had bronze hair that was deliciously windblown, and a sharp jaw line that would make angels weep, I could only describe him as one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen, he could even probably rival Rosalie.
I could also see that he and Rose were in a heated argument, with the pixy girls holding on to the bronze boys arm although he looked quite calm, and Emmett to Rosalie's, who looked anything but.
Nessie bless her was telling them to "both calm down and wait until mother gets here"
"What is going on?" I demanded as I stood in beside a fuming Rosalie.
"They are accusing us if being murderers."Rosalie seethed.
I turned to face the other coven and said,
"What is the meaning of this? Where is your proof?" I asked knowing full well that they had none.
"Miss I am sure you are aware that there have been people in this town going missing for awhile, and then turning up dead; always an animal attack. That's if they turn up at all." the bronze boy finally spoke. He had a low, smooth husky voice.
"No I was not aware, and if that is all we must go, we are already late for our work and school. Good day sir." I said growing angry that he was trying to say that we had done such a thing when it was clear that we did not kill humans.
"Do you not think it's more than just coincidences that not long after humans start to go missing you turn up?" He said again.
Before I could say anything, Rennesmee shocked all three of my coven by coming out with,
"For goodness sake are you really that thick, are you deaf, blind, stupid or just a heavy dose of all three. Can you not see that we are vegetarians just like you? That we eat animals not humans? That we have golden eyes not red? My god you are so full of crap!" she shouted at the bronze haired man.
"Whoa Nessie I didn't know you could actually say let alone think a bad word against anyone!" Emmett roared staring wide eyed at Nessie very much like the rose and I. His mouth was also hanging open again.
"Emmett I think I see drool" Rose beat me to the punch.
"How dare you call me stupid? I just care about human's lives. Besides the last time somebody went missing was a week ago, therefore there has been plenty of time for your eyes to change back!" The man said. I noticed that behind him the other two had grins on their faces, and the boy looked quite ruffled when he noticed, apparently we were missing an inside joke.
"Oh yeah, are you sure you aren't just using us as an excuse, maybe you should look closer to home." Emmett said, for once looking very serious.
"Are you trying to say that one of us would kill a human? That we would ruin everything we had built in this town." The blonde one spoke for the first time he had a heavy southern drawl. He still appeared calm although the slight smile from his brothers' insult had been replaced by the small frown that graced his forehead.
"What? You mean you big boys no like it when we turn the tables onto you" Rosalie said in the patronizing voice you would speak to a child in. "correction. You big boys and Girl." She amended when she noticed the small pixy like girl.
"I assure you that none of my 'fam'-coven" I quickly covered "has ever tasted human blood. Neither have they killed one" I stated.
"Really, are you sure 'bout that." He quickly continued when he saw the look we shot at him "it's just Blondie there looks a bit… guilty."
Rosalie lunged at the other coven….
