A|N: Here is chapter three of my series Home Sweet Home? I decided to keep Bella to the fourth chapter. I got only two reviews ( Not counting my friend Coco96(: ) Please review! Good or Bad! [ just not tooo bad please ) We get to know Jacob a little better :}
Instinct took over and I leaped back and bared my teeth. Coming towards me was a big dog. But it wasn't just any dog; it was a werewolf. I could feel the venom racing towards my teeth. Were they trying to kill me? Did I walk into a trap? My eyes scanned the area, looking for ways to escape. How can I be so stupid? What was wrong with me? If there were a book on what not to do this would make the top five.
" Calm down, Angelica. He is a friend and we won't have to hurt you if you don't hurt him," Carlisle said soothingly. How could I trust him? I heard someone run towards me. I whipped around to face my attacker. No one attacked me, but the vampire stopped in front of me. He had blonde hair and scars all over. Vampire bites. Trouble screamed from every pore in on his body. I took three steps back. Was I being surrounded? His topaz eyes bored into mine. Suddenly I felt calm and serene. What was happening? I no longer felt the urge to run away. Jasper smiled and I smiled to, involuntarily.
" He is our friend," he said calmly. I nodded.
" I won't hurt him," I swore. I wouldn't. The werewolf approached Edward.
" She is going to stay here with you while we sort this out, Jacob," Edward told Jacob quietly. The mutt made a grunting sound and sat down.
" She'll be okay. Stop worrying about her," Edward said and he, Carlisle, and Jasper ran back to the house in a flash.
When Jasper left he took the calm with him. Our kind has been mortal enemies with his kind. How could the Cullens be friends with them? And even more important, why was I being the one being watched by him? It just didn't make any sense, but I didn't say anything. I stared warily at the dog and he stared right back. I heard murmured voices coming from inside the house. They were talking so low even I couldn't hear them. Dammit. I really wanted to hear them.
Then the dog walked towards me. My automatic response was to step back. He kept coming forward. He made grunts like he was trying to talk. It sounded like, " Stay." But what did I know? I finally decided what do I have to lose? I stayed put. He stalked towards me and nudged my violin case with his head. I lifted it up holding it against my chest.
" What do you want to know?" I avoided saying mutt.
He made more grunting noises. This time I had no idea what he was saying.
" You can't have it, Jacob."
He sighed and sat on his hunches. He made more noises. Oh. He wanted me to play it.
" What do I owe you?" I grumbled. Everything. For him not to attack, I guess. I sigh and pull out my violin.
It really was beautiful. It's wood shone and the strings called my name. This is pretty much what I survived off of. I would play when I needed money and usually got it. Not to brag or anything, but I'm pretty good. I guess when you've lived almost 80 years and never aged. I've learned many songs and more to come. I even made up some ones, but I chose just to just to do Ode to Joy, a classic. After I was done he looked bored.
He yawned.
How dare he do that! After I took the time to play him a very well done song and he has the nerve to yawn? I didn't need to be Edward to know he thought this was boring. Nothing made me more mad when someone thinks I didn't do a good job. I decided to give him a song I did rarely.
It didn't really have a title. I just played around with it for awhile and then it hit me. To compose a musical piece of my life. It took me awhile but I did it. I lifted the violin on my shoulder and tucked the chin piece under my chin.
I started the song. The song started off all happy. I remembered when I got my first bike and Dad always kept one hand on my seat. Mom gave me the violin so I could be just like her. I remembered my first crush and his brown eyes. I remembered my best-friend and her mischevious ways that always made me laugh. Then the song starts to get slower and eery. This is supposed to represent me walking home alone. Then I go into the alley. The tempo starts to pick up. He breaks my arm and then... I make one screech with the strings. His head swung up startled. I wait five seconds and then start to play again. Its slow and paranoid. I wake up to find up to thirst I've never had before. Then I started playing fast and hard. To represent...my wrong ways. Then me hiding from myself. Then I started to go as fast I could to represent me in the woods. Then I broke out into a steady temp representing my meeting with Monica. I finally saw what I was supposed to do. It was a sacrifice but I did it. I started to go into an adventurous tone. I was looking for a home. I looked everywhere in Europe, then Africa. But no one would take me. Every time I met another lose I would slow down, but pick myself right back up again. Nothing was going to stop me. I went back to America and went to Tanya's clan. They refused me so I turn to the Cullens. And here I am waiting for their decision. I actually winged the last part playing it. I never though I'd get this far. I ended it with a questioning sound. Will I get in?
I put the violin back in its case slowly. I finally looked at the mutt. His eyes were wide and he made a somewhat smile. A doggy smile.
" Thanks," I said. I couldn't help letting my voice be smug. I proved him wrong and I liked it. We stood there for awhile. Well, techinally I was standing. Jacob was on his fours. I don't know if that counts for standing or not. But in my book it didn't.
Suddenly I heard someone call my name. It was deep and husky. Was this Emmett? Only one way to find out. I bowed slightly to Jacob and ran towards the backdoor. I went through the door and made my way to where I heard the voice. In the dining room. I smoothed out my shirt and walked in. Almost everyone was in the room. Everyone but famous Bella. I knew because I got a description of her from Tanya. There was two empty chairs. One for Bella and one that probably is for me. I didn't make a move for it though, didn't want to overstay my welcome.
" Please," Carlisle said gesturing the empty chairs, " take a seat." One was at the head of the table so I took that one so I wouldn't have to sit next to anyone. I sat down and waited.
" Well, Angelica, we decided something," Carlisle said seriously. " We decided to have a vote. And whatever we decide you must respect. Understand?"
I nodded because I couldn't trust my voice.
" Alright. Well I'll go first. I would love to have you in our clan," Carlisle said smiling. I smiled for a second but then wiped it away. Didn't want to get cocky. There were still more votes. Esme, his mate, spoke up. " I would also love for you to join! We could always use another daughter." I smiled a little longer than the last time because she was just so nice. She made me remember of my own mother.
" Well," Alice said slowly, "both Bella and I want you to join. But for me I will only let you only if you promise you'll go shopping with me! Rosalie never wants to come, she just expects me to bring something for her. And Bella is Bella. She doesn't like shopping. Even if she did she wouldn't 'cause she would just stay at home and drool over Edward." I nodded.
" Rosalie?" Carlisle asked diected to the blonde.
" No," she said coldly. Ouch. " We have enough and we know nothing about you. Nothing about your past, which looks shady." I nodded trying to look understanding. I put on my mask so she couldn't see how much I'd been hurt. I can't say I blame her, but still. It hurt. I turned my attention to Edward who was the farthest away. He sighed.
" I truly am sorry, but no. I don't know you well enough and you could hurt someone." Like Bella or... " Yes just like her," Edward said replying to the thought in my head. Emmett groaned.
" God, this mind reading stuff is really annoying! Could you at least say it out loud so we know what's going on?" Emmett complained. " Anyway, I say yes. I can always use you someone else to make fun of." I chuckled and smiled. I wasn't as hurt by Edward's denial. He did have a reason. The only person who was left was Jasper.
He slowly shook his head and didn't say anything. Funny how silence can even be more hurtful. I nodded.
" Well, Angelica. It's 5 to 3. You're in," Carlisle said warmly. Oh... my... God. I was... in? I finally found a home? Well, at least for now. I smiled my biggest smile ever.
" Thank you! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much it-" I was interuppted by Edward.
" She still has to pass the test, Carlisle." Carlisle sighed and nodded.
" Go ahead," he told Edward.
Quick as lightning, Emmett, Edward, and Jasper were lifting me all out of chair holding me tightly. I struggled only a little.
" What the hell?" I shouted.
" Calm down, honey," Esme said softly. " They aren't going to hurt you. They just need to just in case."
" In case of what?" I demanded. I was being rude to her for no reason. It's not like she's the one whose gripping me.
She nodded to Edward.
" Bella, love? You can come now."
