Chapter 2

We had just finished eating dinner as we started to clean up the kitchen and the Bakery. We would cover the pastries with aluminum foil so they wouldn't spoil quickly. Although they are only for decorations, it's always good to have them look as best as it could.

"Ugh, Cole, that is gross" I hear Edwin whine.

"Oh, get over it," Colleen said. "It's just soap water, and you're supposed to be a platypus!"

"No, I think I'm better off being a jaguar or a panther"

"Really? Awe, but you do look like you belong to the Ornithorhynchidae family!"

Atticus and I laughed at that and I could hear a bit of water splashing and Colleen screaming. "AAH!"

Edwin chuckled darkly. "Now, who's grossed out of soap water?"

"That was dirty water, you anatinus nincompoop!!" Colleen squealed and I was about to stop them from a water fight, but Atticus got to them first.

"Kids!" he called out. "No water fights! Remember last time?"

I burst out laughing as I remembered the whole kitchen was soaked with water/soap and we all had to clean it up, mostly Atticus did since it took all night and the next morning to make it all look sparkly clean. And then, we were grounded but not for long; Atticus can be a real softy.

Arthur was right across from us as he was running through the tables and chairs, playing with his car. He was going near at the entrance door and ran towards it. I noticed how he acted, almost like he saw something interesting.

I called out to him, "Arthur?"

He didn't listen and I see now what caught his eyes. There were lights in a distant outside the store as they were coming closer. Cars. Cars were parked in our parking lot, and they did it quick. They must be very good drivers.

I started to get worried since they were a lot of them and they didn't notice the sign that says close. I went around the counter and so did Atticus as we left the pastries where they are. I was about to head over to Arthur when I see outside a group of giants and some other people.

Arthur took steps back a bit from the door as it was opened by the giant. He was so big that little Arthur got scared. The figure smiled down at him, but my brother started crying as he quickly ran to Atticus's arms. The figure was stunned a bit, and behind him were some snorts and laughs.

Atticus picked the child up and held him close to him. I went to his side, and I could hear Edwin and Colleen coming out of the kitchen, staying behind the counter.

A group of Native American Indians and a group of pale-faces. But these pale-faces were abnormally handsome and beautiful, one of them is a little 5-6 year old girl. She was pale but pretty with her natural blush. She's held by another native man, whose taller than all the rest. I realized that the pale ones were vampires, but the little girl was different yet similar.

They looked almost a bit threatening and it was silent in the atmosphere. I look around examining each face in the Bakery and then my eyes landed on this person that I just met today.

"Embry?" I called out his name and he looked at me instantly. It is him.

"Oh," Atticus finally said something. "That's Embry Call Me?"

There was silence before a boastful eruption of laughter spread throughout the bakery. Edwin was pounding his fist on the counter and Colleen was laughing hysterically on the floor. The natives were howling laughter along with the vampires. Even I couldn't help but laugh at that, and Embry just stood there scowling at everyone, mostly glaring at Atticus.

Atticus was confused and asked again, "Isn't it?"

"Uhh no leech, it's just Call," I stopped laughing when Embry had spoke that way to my father.

I snapped at him. "Embry Call, it was an honest mistake! So don't you dare speak to my father that way! It were my siblings making fun of your name! And further more-!"

The laughter and amusement had stop and the heavy atmosphere came back. Feminine instincts overwhelmed me as I thought of how rude they were of entering.

I launched my way towards them; some looked afraid as I let my mouth go running with a different accent, "Who do ya think ya'll are?" I yelled. "Don't dare say that ya'll didn't see the door sign right there that says close! Now do you see anybody else bargin' into any one's property without at least a knock, or some permission to entuh? Sensible people knows this common courtesy, an' I swear if ya'll do it agin', next time when the shop's close, even if the door's unlock, ya'll better knock or ain't none of ya evuh comin' in this store even when it's open!!"

Some had backed up a bit from me, and some of the females were quite proud of what I'd done.

I wasn't finish but I'm almost done, I just need to change my accent back to its proper place. I cleared my throat and continued with a fake smile, "Well now, since we got that out of the way. Introduce yourselves." I said it in a way that is more of a command than it is a friendly request for an introduction.

One of the vampires had step up and Atticus was quickly at my side. The vampires eyes were golden, and that meant he drank from animals. On the other hand, Atticus' eyes were different; they were more of a colorless yellow, almost blind.

"Hello," the blonde vampire said. I think he's coven's leader. "I'm Carlisle Cullen"

Atticus smiled openly to the male as he also introduce himself, "And I'm Atticus Hartwell. I suppose that this is your territory?" Carlisle was about to reply, but he was cut off.

"Territory, or not" Edwin cut in as he walked up beside Atticus and a step closer to the leader. "This is a human society, and we paid for this house to be built so we could live here. We're not about to go anywhere else."

"Son, hold up there," Atticus pulled him back slightly with a hand on his shoulder. "They're not our enemies, and they didn't say anything of making us leave, now did they?"

"No, they didn't say it...yet," he said, and yet is the keyword there. He added, "Such rude thoughts..."

They all looked at him incredulously and they all instantaneously looked at another vampire in the coven. I look at that man and my jaw dropped. I look at him and back to Edwin a few times. Atticus did the same.

Edwin was also wearing a shocking look and so did the other vampire. The other one looked exactly like Edwin! Or Edwin looked exactly like him. The only difference is that Edwin had a darker shade of brown, the other had more of a bronze color.

They both stepped up at the same time to face the other. No one said anything, up until Colleen decided to get between the vampire and Edwin and both look at them back and forth. Finally she ran her mouth, "My God Almighty! Your both Platypusies!"

Another round of laughter started as the two look-alike gave Colleen a look. She just laugh at them and quickly ran to my side before Edwin could get to her. Arthur was giggling hysterically causing more laughter and amusement all around.

"Whoa, Eddy! She's right!" One of the other vampires, the huge one, said. "You two do look like platypusies!"

Both 'Eddy' and Edwin just scowled at the goofy vampire. My brother then curtly spoke, "Well, I'd say you look more of a grizzly bear"

The vampires were now hollering laughter, and only them. The natives seem to be confused; I'm going to guess that it was some inside joke.

The said goof vamp was gawking at Edwin, "How the hell do you know that?"

"Know what?"

"About grizzly bears!"

Edwin just gave him a confused look and asked, "Who doesn't know about grizzly bears?"

The big guy was about to speak again, but I cut him off saying, "We were suppose to introducing each other, not comparing each other with platypi and grizzly bears"

"So wait," Colleen cuts in. "Is it platypi, or platypusies?"

I rolled my eyes. "It doesn't matter!"

"How about we all get settle in?" Atticus suggested. "You can all take the seats off the table and make yourselves comfortable...I need to take Arthur upstairs first..."

Before I could even ask why, I smelt a diaper stench and my nose cringe; I turned away. Colleen pinched her nose and waved the stinky smell away from her. She complained, "Ugh, Arthur!"

Arthur giggled at our reaction as Atticus shook his head and went upstairs to change him. We look at our guests who were now taking the seats off the chairs, and start to get comfortable. Edwin and I went to the kitchen to prepare some snacks and refreshments, while Colleen entertains them.

We were trained to do this routine, and because Atticus said it was a polite thing to do than to stand around and stare at the guests. He also said if it were nighttime, it's best to have water, tea, and coffee prepared. For snacks, it would be biscuits. Edwin prepared the snacks and I prepared the refreshments.

Moreover, I also took some pills from the cabinet; they were labeled V. This pill is what Atticus had been taking. He would just put the pill in a glass of water and the pill would melt quickly. The water would turn to a white transparent color, and he would drank it. When I asked Atticus if I would try it, he let me and it only tasted exactly like water.

After 3 minutes of preparing, I only got the tea and two pitchers of regular water and the V-pill ready. I put those on one tray, and the other tray were full of glass cups. I lift them both up, and believe me, I had practice this a lot.

I walked out of the kitchen gracefully, and I see Edwin placed the tray with a big plate of a variety of biscuits. Embry saw me and quickly rushed to my side, taking the tray with the glass form me.

I looked at him, "I could handle it"

"I want to help," he said. Sure he does.

He helped me place the tray on the table, and the group of Indians helped themselves. I took the pitcher with the V-pill in it and set it on the tray with the remaining 9 glasses. I carried the tray to the other side, where the vampires were sitting. They look at me strangely, but I start to pour the drink in their glasses.

"It's alright dear," a beautiful mother-like vampire said. "We don't really-"

I cut her off. "It's alright, ma'am. I know you don't really drink or eat human food" They look at me shockingly, but I continued, "that's why I'm pouring this down. Take a sip, and believe me it would taste nothing more...well, nothing more than it should taste"

I didn't want to say it would taste like water, but it should. Atticus said it would taste like water, but he did forget the taste of water so he's unsure.

The big one that teased my brother and possibly his brother too of being penguins, cautiously took the glass that I poured. He carefully took a sip and a surprising look was on his face. He stuttered, "It...taste just like water..."

"Does it taste bad, Emmett?" the little young woman, who looked like a pixie asked, and the big one, 'Emmett' she said, shook his head. "No, it taste good...just like how water should taste like"

By the time he said that, I finished pouring all their glasses and each and every one of them took a glass and drank it. They were very surprised.

"I never tasted water like this in years..." Carlisle had said.

"It was made by a friend of mine," We all turned around and Atticus came out of the kitchen with Arthur playing around with his wallet. He grabbed a chair near a table, sat down, and put Arthur on the ground who wanted to walk around.

Arthur waddled over to the giants and spotted the big one that scared him and quickly he ran off back to Atticus. We all laughed again as the giant just playfully glared at the baby.

Atticus chuckled as he picked up the baby and set him on his lap. "They're not going to hurt you"

"A jaja!" Arthur babbled causing all the girls to burst in a chorus of awe's. The little baby grinned widely at the attention he was getting.

After we got settled down in the Bakery and got to know everyone's names, we were about to being our long conversation, but then Atticus stopped us.

gWait, before we begin" he started saying as he glanced over to a few vampires, who were Alice, Jasper, and Edward. He smiled at them with a 'please' kind of look and asked, "Would you please be so kind to stop using your powers on me? It's starting to get a little uncomfortable for me."

Everyone had shocked faces, and I was a bit to confuse as to why they all were wearing those looks and what did Atticus meant by powers on him? I mean he had told us about vampires having exceptional powers, but the way he said it it's like he knew about it. How did he know about it?

Atticus then looked over to Bella and said, "Don't worry, I'm not anything harmful to your family. I am a shield as well..." A shield? The look on Bella's face was surprised as she asked, "how do you know?"

My father simply replied, "Well, I can see your shield. You can't see mine since my shield is also a shield against others...although mine doesn't stretch out to protect others, but yours does and it's remarkable"

gWait, hold up," Edwin intervened. "What's a shield?"

Carlisle looked at Edwin and explained, "A shield is usually a vampire able to block any sorts of abilities depending on the shield. In this case for Bella, she could block any mental attacks, and she could also use her shield to protect others, although it's limited"

gHow?" I asked. I was very intrigued by this conversation.

"Jasper and I can get through Bella's shield" Alice said. "I'm psychic and Jasper is empathic" Edwin, Colleen, and I all gave Alice a confused look; she saw this and explained. "Jasper can feel emotions around him and he can control it. He could make a house full of an angry mob turn into happy people"

"Whoa," Colleen said. "So he can control emotions? No wonder the atmosphere here is so calming!"

Hmm...now that she mentioned it, it did sort of feel so peaceful here.

Jasper nodded to Colleen's speculation, admitting that he's the one causing the atmosphere.

I pulled back to our original topic as I turned to look at Atticus and asked, "What about your shield, Atticus?"

"Yeah! You never told us about you being a shield!" Colleen whined and complained as she went over to Atticus, grabbing his shoulder and started shaking him back and forth. "How come you never told us about this? You told us about vampires having superpowers, but you never told us about you having one"

Atticus smiled sheepishly at Colleen as everyone else in the bakery watched with amusement. "Sorry Colleen," he said. "It must have slipped my thoughts"

Colleen dropped her arms and started pouting at Atticus. And then another laughing moment came: Arthur stood on Atticus's lap, grabbed a fist full of shirt, and started shaking him back and forth as well, yelling a bit in a whiny voice, mimicking Colleen's act.

That sent another round of laughter to everyone. I must admit it scared me a bit since Arthur is just too smart for that and yet there he is, copying Colleen's moves. Atticus tried giving him a look of disapproval, but a smile was stretched unto his face and that made the baby stop and laugh.

"He is so adorable," Esme commented, smiling at my cute baby brother, who in return smiled back earning another round of awe's.

Atticus laughed and said, "He is a precious little thing. I found him on our doorstep last year in California." There was silence as everyone listened closely to the story. "It was around dinnertime when some one started pounding the door harshly several times. I got up to check who it was, and out the window-door I saw a lady running to her car and she left in such a hurry. It was then that I heard a small cry outside."

I remembered that night. Poor Arthur... I did remember the lady having long brown or black hair, but that was it.

"I walked out the door and found Arthur wrapped with a blue blanket on my welcome mat," He paused for a bit on the story to give everyone a moment to think about it, before he continued. "I went to the police station to see if there were any reports of a missing child. After two weeks, no one reported any missing child so I adopted him, and the kids agreed naming him Arthur"

I continued there for him. I said, "Edwin, Colleen, and I were also adopted by Atticus as you can see. My parents were attacked by a vampire coven and I was a baby back then. Atticus saved me before I would become a snack." I glanced over to Embry, who was shaking a bit in anger. Is he mad because I was attacked by vampires?

He stopped instantly when he saw me staring at him. He looked away and I thought weird...and this is the guy I like?

I sighed mentally and admitted 'Still the guy I like, even if his name is Embry Call...me...' (I just couldn't resist)

I heard some snickering and I looked over to see Edwin and Edward grinning. I glared at them and made this face forget-about-these-thoughts-or-your-dead!-This-is-my-pleasure-not-yours.

The rest gave the three of us weird looks, but Edwin changed it from there. "I was in a different predicament," he said, about to tell his own story. "I was 3 years old that time, and I lost my family because of a flood; I survived somehow. I was taken to the police station, and they called my relatives to tell them the news and asked if they wanted to take me in. None of them would, but I didn't care. When it came to the talk of me being sent to an orphanage, Atticus just came into station out of nowhere with Sis." He paused smiling at that; I know he was reminiscing of the past. "And they took me out of there. Believe me, this is a better life than I would have been with my relatives."

"And what was your full name, kid?" Emmett asked so suddenly and Edwin glared at him.

"Don't call me, kid," he said and I hear Jacob whispering over to Seth. "Oh shit, they are so alike-"

"Wat'cha language!" I yelled and he jumped, startled by my loud voice and so did everyone else. Except for Edwin, Colleen, Atticus, and even Arthur, whom were used to my shouting so they weren't surprised by how loud it was. "Ohr A'll come ovuh there and beat the livin' heck outta ya!"

Jacob quickly nodded and the rest of them were cringing, at the same time laughing nervously. Hmm...maybe I was a bit too much?

"So what's your name?" Emmett repeated his question and my brother answered casually, "Edwin Anthony Mason"

Then complete silence, but Edwin continued, "My dad found it funny to closely name me after my great grand uncle...they say he was also crazy like me..." He glanced over to Edward who was staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Bella placed a hand on her husband's shoulder, and he glanced at her. She nodded, gesturing him to say it. Say what? But everyone knew the answer. Edwin and Edward looked so alike and there was only one possible answer...

Edward looked up to meet Edwin face to face, who was waiting for his response. The vampire replied, "I'm Edward Anthony Mason..."

Shock...but not so shocking...
