Disclaimer: Hello. If I owned twilight then why would I be posting free stories about Twilight? I mean wouldn't I sell them? Come on! I'd be a published author! So obviously I am not Stephenie Meyer. I don't own Twilight.
A/N: Different Point of view this time. I may do that each chapter. I'm not going to say who it is each time, because I think that it spoils it. You guys are smart enough to figure each POV each time.
The Treaty
'Alice! I don't want to go shopping! I've told you that for the last twenty years!'
Alice pouted at me.
'What?'
Her eyes. The pain! I knew it was fake. I mean come on! Who starts crying over shopping?
'I just thought that… you know-' She sniffed. 'I mean, it's my way of socializing with you. You always want to be around Edward… And I… just wanted to spend some with you. As girlfriends. But if you...'
This was complete crap.
But still.
I don't need to put up with a whiney Alice. She's persuasive enough from her annoyance. I never realised why Edward always got so annoyed with her.
Now I know.
Alice 24/7? Not such a good thing.
Now I was pouting. In my head of course. Alice would look at me so stupidly if I pouted at her.
I tried to imitate her 'You're stupid' face.
Alice's facial expression immediately changed.
'Ohmygod! What's wrong with your face? Its like- Haha! You've got one eye!'
She roared with laughter
'Shutup.'
The laughter stopped and her face became solemn and sad again.
'No. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to!! It's just I…'
She rambled on some more.
'Fine. I'll go.'
'No! If you don't want to go then – '
'I'LL FREAKING GO!'
I threw a pillow at her, but she dodged it.
Stupid Psychic Person!
I turned around and slammed the door.
Damn. I hope that there was something heavy and sharp in the pillow case. Maybe I'll put a paperweight in it next time.
You know… I wasn't even that mad. But it's one way to get her attention. I hate it when people do that. Why say 'don't worry' if you've already made such a big deal about it?
Stupid people.
Where was Edward?
'I'm here Bella.'
Must've smelt me. He was good at reading my mind.
Without actually reading my mind.
I followed the sound until I reached his room.
There was a familiar black leather couch pushed up against the wall. With Edward sitting on it. Listening. I sat down.
He held it up.
Debussy.
Ahh...
'Oh Bella. Alice is just Alice.'
'I know.'
I stuck out my bottom lip childishly, and rolled my eyes.
He laughed in amusement.
'Oh Bella.'
He smiled.
So enchanting was his smile. They always met his eyes when he looked into mine.
His expression changed.
If I were human I would have blushed furiously.
'Oh? Is that what you want?'
He slid his arm around my neck and pulled me closer to his lips.
They moulded to mine with the passion and need that came through every time we kissed. I, as always was in a daze. My breathing was uneasy.
He needed me.
I needed him.
We were so dependant upon each-other.
His jaw changed, his mouth was tense. He gently pushed me away.
I looked at him with a puzzled look.
His expression was so unkind. He looked so angry.
Why I hadn't seen him tense up like this since he'd seen…
Jacob.
Oh my god.
I knew this would happen. I mean, we are in Forks.
But we were expecting at least, another couple of days until they smelt us.
'It's him.'
'I know.'
'I have to go and negotiate. They've only sent him down.'
'Not without me.'
'Fine.'
'Emmet and Alice and everybody else will want to come. You know that.'
'I know.'
Suddenly Alice burst into the room. Her child-like face and pixie-like hair had never looked more ironic on her.
She was dead set serious.
'I'm coming.'
'I know.'
'Jasper! Get everyone! We're going out.'
Soon everyone was in Edward's small room.
'They know.'
Wow. The forest looked amazing today. The leaves were so much… greener than I remembered. And in a good way.
When I ran, (someone in font, someone behind for my own safety, I still was about as co-ordinated as a drunk cheetah. I had the speed, but not the ability to use it steadily yet.) I could see the sun twinkling through the trees.
But I had to focus.
I didn't need the attention from tripping over again, today.
Oh my god. Jacob.
He hadn't changed at all.
Well I wouldn't know because at that point he was in his dog form.
But his big brown eyes were still as dog-like as ever.
Edward was right. He was alone. Maybe they feared us more now.
Maybe it was because they changed me.
A voice broke the silence that surrounded us.
It was Edward's.
'We've come to negotiate the treaty.'
Jacob looked back; his anger was prominent in his wolf-features.
'We did not break it.'
I was not surprised to hear this. Edward would lie, but only to keep people safe.
That was what he was doing. Keeping us all safe.
Jacob looked at Edward with a questionable look, and glanced back at me. When I caught him he looked away immediately.
'No. She went from Forks to Denali, Alaska. It was a split decision. Alice foresaw it, but she didn't have much time and I was hunting that day. She did not mention it, or think it around me. As soon as I knew, I got a ticket and flew there myself. My cousin, Tanya changed Bella. Not us. Not any of us. By the time I'd gotten there, it was too late to help her. I could only watch her in pain.'
Jacob picked his gaze up from the ground, back up to Edward.
'No, it is not Alice's fault. For depriving some information from me, she did contribute to the cause, but did not cause the actual events. By the time that I was back and she would've told me, it would already be too late.'
Jacob stared at Edward.
'Well you'll have to live with it. You don't have any evidence either.'
Anger flashed through his eyes, and then, suddenly, his head dropped back to the ground. He was in an almost humble or embarrassed pose.
Jacob never was embarrassed!
'I think that is her decision.'
What?
Why were they talking about me?
I expected Edward to translate. But he didn't.
'The treaty is still intact then, we may stay?'
Jacob grudgingly nodded his head.
'What the hell was that about?'
'What?'
'"That is her decision."'
I said angrily, using my fingers as quotation marks.
'Bella, you know that I don't like looking into other people's minds like that. It puts their every thought on display for me.'
'So?! Why can't you tell me something that was about me?!'
I was furious, how could Edward keep anything from me! I had never done that to him.
'Bella! As strange as it does sound; this time Jacob was thinking of a girl other than you! And her presence will better your life dramatically.'
'I don't suppose you're going to say anything else?'
'No. You know I don't like discussing other people's thoughts.
