Cassidy POV
I woke up in a start, remembering everything that happened yesterday, god sleep was what I want, but no, this is reality and not the nightmare I wish of it, Alice skipped into my room with a plate of food and a shopping bag, she set the bag on the floor and put the plate on my lap, "morning Cass, you okay?" I nodded numbly and picked up the fork, shuffling the food around on my plate, "the family have gone out hunting apart from me and Theodore," I looked at her wide eyed, "he won't hurt you, that's why I stayed," I nodded and put a forkful of egg in my mouth, perfectly cooked, do vampires eat, no, so why would they cook? She smiled and left the room.
I got up after eating half of my breakfast and cautiously walked over to the bag, it was one of the ones Alice used to pack loads of my clothes in yesterday, I picked it up and walked to the bathroom, showering and sing some spare shampoo and soap to clean myself before wrapping a towel around me and walking from the bathroom to find Theodore there, he smiled in amusement at me when I froze.
"Hello Princess, how'd you sleep?" I nodded; his deep crimson eyes scare and fascinate me, is that possible, I don't know. He is in an all black montage again, he winked at me, cocky git.
"I slept as well as a girl can in a house full of vampires and one sadistic one at that," he rose a brow at me, I growled slightly and stalked back into the bathroom, closing and locking the door, "go away," I said through the door.
"That is no way to talk to a sadistic vampire," a low seductive voice whispered in my ear, cool breath hitting my damp skin, in the mirror he stood right behind me, the door locked once again, oh fuck. His pale fingers hovering over the blue veins at my neck, another thing I hate about me along with my bad luck is my pale skin lets some veins show potently around my collar bone, an open invitation for vampires apparently, I'm surprised I wasn't sucked dry yet, "so am I," he ducked his face to my neck licking the visible veins there and growling a low animalistic growl, "delicious."
I gulped which shook him from his thoughts; he stood straight and walked from the room, closing the door shut behind him. Is he bi-polar?
I pulled on a green dress and dolly shoes from the bag over some underwear before brushing my wet hair out and pulling it into a bun, I brushed my teeth, picked up my plate and walked down the stairs, I shoved the leftovers in the bin before washing the plate.
Alice appeared next to me, making me jump from my skin, a chuckle could be heard from the sofa where Theodore sat, "can't you just call me Theo?" My eyes widened, please not let him be another mind rapist, "mind rapist?" oh for fucks sake, "don't swear," don't go through my thoughts if you don't like them Theodore, he growled at me, oh damn. Alice sighed at me and skipped over to her computer.
"He isn't a mind reader, he can use other vampires gifts," oh well that's lucky for him then isn't it?
"Yes it is," oh for heaven sake.
"I'm going outside so my mind is my own," Alice nodded, "Bye Alice… Theodore," I walked from the room grinning at his pissed face, I skipped into the front driveway and watched as the sun rose in the pink sky.
Shadows reaching out at me and birds singing a morning tune, I wandered into the forest, just by the edge and sat down on a log breathing in the greenery, damp mud and cologne, cologne? Oh God no.
"Oh God yes," he whispered in my ear, completely covered by trees and shadows, is nothing sacred? "not anymore," I turned to Theodore, "right, lets do this properly because you're starting to annoy me Cassidy Swan."
"Wait how do you know my name, I haven't said a word?", my voice raising in areas, he just winked and turned to the trees before turning to me again.
"Hello, I'm Theo Cullen, badass vampire and eternal stud," he held his white hand out to me which I reluctantly took in my, he grasped my hand firmly.
"I'm Cassie Swan, stupid idiotic human who got her mind raped by Edward Cullen who then decided it would be good to hold me hostage, also sister to his wife." I shook his hand.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Miss Cassie," he kissed the area just above my knuckles like a true gentleman, it kind of maybe made me blush, I mean who is used to gentlemen these days.
"As it is you Mr. Cullen," I played along with an elegant voice, giving him a small smile, he just gave me a cocky grin and dropped my hand, he's no fun.
"I am fun, just you don't know how to have my kind of fun."
"Killing people, drinking humans dry, being a full blown wanker, no I don't know how to do that," I pretended to have an epiphany moment, "why don't you teach me?" he seemed annoyed I just made fun of him, ha, go me, sucker.
"You should try it, its very entertaining," I think I just swallowed vomit, yuck, I stood up, crossed my arms and turned away from him and started on my way back to the house. Him in all his leatherness suddenly appeared in front of me, arms crossed like mine defiantly, I bumped straight into him and landed on my butt, which I'm betting he finds amusing, he just doesn't want to be normal and laugh. A normal vampire how funny, I giggled under my breath.
I stood up and brushed myself off before pushing past him, he of course grabbed my wrist and hauled me back, effortlessly, I bumped into his chest before leaning back to look him in the face.
"How may I help you?" he arched a brow at me and shook his head, just because I'm fun and you're not.
"We already went over this…"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," I interrupted, "you think you're all that and a bag of potato chips, well I'm all that and a bag of skittles, so eat my rainbow dust," I then blew a raspberry which proves I am so immature, damn, and this is why mum won't let me drive a car.
"Humans are weird."
"Vampires are mythical, doesn't mean it can't be."
He face palmed himself, god that looks funny, before grabbing my legs and hoisting me up over his shoulder before walking off into the direction of the house much to my dismay, "this is sooooo not funny Cullen," I bashed his back even though I'm sure it did no damage, "let me down this instant you idiot… LET ME DOWN, NOW." And he is ignoring me, jerk, "put me down now," I bashed his back again.
Bella POV
Okay so Cassidy is not in the house, for that I am sure, but Alice isn't panicked, Theodore isn't here either, this could mean trouble, "where is she Alice, tell me now."
"She and Theo are bonding," my eyes shot up in alarm.
"Bonding?" I asked in a low whisper, she nodded, "he wanted to eat her yesterday, where could…" I was cut off by screeching of my sister, Edward and Emmett laughing and Carlisle trying not to grin, Alice just beamed from ear to ear.
In the distance I could hear; "this is sooooo not funny Cullen," break for some hitting "let me down this instant you idiot… LET ME DOWN, NOW," damn I forgot she had major lungs "put me down now," and that is where they entered through the door, my sister flung over his shoulder like a rag doll hitting his back violently, her hair falling out, she rested her elbow on his back and her chin on her hand, "this is really unfair, I can't fling you over my shoulder like a doll, so therefore you shouldn't do it to me, you're at an advantage," she mumbled, then of course she hit his head, "LET ME DOWN," he smirked and dropped her on the sofa, she seemed flustered for a second before gaining her composure and sitting up straight, "jerk," he winked at her before sitting next to Esme at the table.
So this is random, she glared around the room before landing on me and smiling slightly, Renesmee came up behind me and smiled at my sister, she managed a smile for her but I think she is still uneasy about the whole vampire thing.
She sighed and stood up, skipping over to Alice, watching what she was doing on the computer, I think she's closer to Alice than she is me, darn.
Alice grinned at her like a Cheshire cat before scooting over on her seat and letting her sit next to her.
Edward grabbed my hand when Jacob came in, he greeted everyone but missed Alice and Cassidy in the corner, who, might I add, weren't paying attention before grabbing Renesmee and taking her to the park with Embry and Quil, I'm okay with those two now.
Edward pulled me from the house and ran us back to ours and into the bedroom…
Cassidy POV
Okay wherever Bella and her beau went I don't want to know, trust me, I'd rather stay out of her love life, Alice was on some fashion wardrobe program again, me helping pick the colours and patterns, feeling eyes on me occasionally, Jasper and Emmett out the front wrestling, Esme, Carlisle and Theo talking about something called the Volturi and Rosalie in the garage.
I wonder what skydiving is like, I know it's random, but when you get brought up with my mum you tend to pick a few things up, Bella usually keeps us under control but no, she too busy having hanky panky fun with Eddiekins.
A slight snigger sounded at the table, everyone turned to Theo who just shook his head at me and turned back to Carlisle whispering something to him.
I dared to sneak a peek at what Alice was designing, a sort of prom dress wedding thing, well it's a deep red with black lace on the torso, one strap covering the right shoulder, a black bow around the waist which is flowing out into a long skirt, well it's nice, but I dread whoever it's for, it must way a ton, but I guess that's fine for a vampire, stupid fast and strong eternal bloodsuckers, yeah I dissed you, ha-ha-ha.
I stood from the chair and jumped up the stairs and into my temporary room, oh damn, I should ask someone about that.
"No they didn't Edward was a virgin before Bella, one hundred year old virgin that would be better than the forty year old virgin don't ya think?" I turned to Theo, is he stalking me, "you're in my house, it's you doing the stalking."
I sat down on my temporary bed, "I think Alice should make this room into her own fashion design studio," I muttered to myself.
"She should but you're staying here."
"Let me go home, I promise I won't say anything."
"Not up to me, ask Carlisle." I nodded and walked from the room down to Carlisle who just nodded at me, yay, "I'll drive her back to her house," Theo said from behind me, making me jump, Carlisle nodded again before I was dragged from the house and pulled into a tinted window land rover, I take it he likes to travel, "yes I do."
I plugged myself in and completely prepared when he started zooming down the streets and turns.
We pulled up outside Dad's, his police cruiser not in the drive, "Alice phoned up and told him that you were staying with her and Bella for a sleepover," was all Theo said before getting out from the car and opening my door, I hopped out annoyed that he thinks I am too incompetent to open a door.
I walked up to the house and unlocked the door, he came in behind me and followed me up to my room, "thank you for the lift Theo," I then closed the door in his face, he let out a small growl before he was in my face again.
"Shutting people out is not nice," I grinned at him.
"Who ever said I was nice?"
"Everyone, it's kind of annoying really; oh she's so adorable; poor thing; so unlike you Bella; cute; the sweetest thing ever. It gets on my nerves." I grinned more before standing by my window.
My warm breath steaming up the window compared to the cold outside, cold breath though I could feel on my neck, I turned and bumped my head with Theo's who seemed to find this amusing, I found it painful, and jolted back.
He caught me before I hit the window, "thanks," I muttered, blushing furiously, he brushed his cool fingers along my cheeks before lifting my face up.
"Why do people blush?"
"It happens usually when they're embarrassed or really hot, it's that or they have been slapped really hard and blood rushes to the surface of their face, trust me not fun."
"You've been slapped?" he seemed slightly annoyed.
"Yeah, this girl didn't like me much because I called her a whore for sleeping with my friends boyfriend." He shook his head at me.
"Where did she hit you?" I pointed to my left cheek, he leaned in slowly before kissing it gently, "all better?" I nodded and blushed deeper.
He smirked, he does that a lot, I sat on my window seat, feet up, looking out at the trees, Theo lifted them up and sat down at the other end of the window seat before putting them on his lap, he picked up one of my books; Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and started reading it.
I watched him a he did so; the cute little messy curly flicks of his hair on his head glistening against the light from the window; the paleness of his skin; redness of his eyes; curve of his lips, almost innocent; straightness of his nose; darkness of his black lashes contrasting with his face like his hair does; the slouched position he sits in, making it look elegant, overall not bad.
"Not bad?" he scoffed, "I'm like a god," I shook my head at him, "you don't think I am?"
"You look like one, but you act like a stuck up rich boy."
"I am a stuck up rich boy, duh," he turned another page in the book while I watched the clouds move across the sky.
My Dad's police cruiser pulled up, "you have to go," I quickly got up, watching as my dad stepped out of the car with some of the Clearwater's home made fish food thing, I don't really like it, but yeah, Seth, Leah and Mrs. Clearwater following suit, oh yeah I remember them.
"Why, don't want to introduce me to the family?"
"No, that would give you invitation to come back and I don't really want that," he fake pouted but opened up the window just as the front door closed and Charlie called me down, "bye, go now," I whispered quickly, he jumped from the window and I closed it behind him, "COMING DAD," I locked the window and ran down the stairs.
I stopped at the bottom and hugged him before turning to the Clearwaters, Seth and Leah, sniffing like dogs, like they smelt something bad before their eyes narrowed on me, Sue introduced herself and her kids, I nodded and shook each of their hands before setting up the table and getting drinks out before sitting down to eat it.
Seth and Leah ate their quickly, and might I say they are huge, Sue tried to make small talk as I picked at my food, she soon left with Charlie into the front room, Seth eyeing my food, I lifted the plate and put the contents onto his plate, he smiled at me and scoffed it down.
I then washed up all of the plates before making up a summer homework excuse and running up the stairs to the sanctuary of my room, I closed and locked the door before turning to see Theo, is he obsessed? He was reading the book again, but the next one; Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.
I walked over to my book shelf and got all of the series down before shoving them in a bag and handing it to him, "read them and then give them back," he smirked but took the bag.
"Will do," he sat down on my bed, feet up and carried on reading. "Hey, why do you smell terribly of wet dog, those mutts aren't here are they?" I turned to him.
"What mutts?"
"The Werewolves of La Push," my eyes widened and my mind went dizzy, I think I might of fainted because everything went black. There is also the fact that I don't remember lying down in my bed, I peeled my eyes open to see Theo really close, "you aright kiddo?" I nodded, he sighed and sat back giving me room to sit up.
I did so slowly before almost slumping back down, he caught me and pulled me up.
"I think they know I'm here because they have really good hearing, also that and they're debating whether or not to come up or call the alpha, see they kill vampires" I nodded and rested my sore head against the cool of his neck, cooling it immensely.
"Why haven't they killed the rest of the Cullen's then?"
"Because my family are woopsies and feed off of animals, where as I like people blood better," I snorted slightly but stopped when rushed footsteps came up the stairs, Theo tensed and turned to the door just as it opened and there stood the two shaking siblings, "hello Fido, Lassie."
"You should leave now," Leah said, suddenly my window opened, I jumped up, but Jasper and Alice appeared, Alice stood by me while waves of calm reverberated around the room, Jasper was focussing on the brother and sister.
"Jasper can manipulate motions and sense them," Alice whispered to me, making me understand.
The werewolves calmed down and stopped shaking, they stood there calm, Seth more than Leah, "okay, why is there a human drinker in your coven?" Leah asked bluntly, turning to Alice.
"He's my brother, but he chose a different life style to us, but he doesn't hunt here or La Push, so you should leave him seeing as you're only meant to be protecting La Push," she chirped, Leah took another calming breath.
"We'll talk to Jake about it," they nodded and left, weird people. Alice smiled at me before she started going through my wardrobe, smiling and nodding, Jasper watching her intently, she picked out my black studded Jimmy Choos, oh no she didn't, Theo saw my disdain before whispering something to Alice who grinned at me and put them back.
"Your wardrobe is sooooo much better than Bella's."
"I know, I picked mine, she picked hers, mine is going to be better." Alice laughed at me before picking up one of my books, sitting on my rocking chair and reading it, Jasper and Theo did the same, Jasper at my window seat while Theo on my bed, what is it, do I just have amazing books or something?
Theo nodded and turned the page, I shook my head at them before grabbing my wash bag and pyjamas and skipping into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
…
I skipped back from the shower and down the stairs giving Charlie a kiss goodnight and a bye to the Clearwaters, before going back to my room and shoving Theo from my bed, he stood before he fell and sat on the floor.
Alice sniggered slightly and winked at Jasper who shook his head at her before getting up, marking a page in the book with a piece of paper, nodding at me and dragging Alice off.
I snuggled under my covers looking out at the clouds, oh god I miss the stars, I rested my head on my pillow and decided to watch Theo again, he caught me looking and winked, infuriating moron, he laughed and stood up.
"Get some sleep Princess," he winked once more before switching my light off and jumping from the window, I closed my eyes and let the drowsiness set in.
