Sorry it took so long to update. School and an outside activity I joined I had me really busy. I will try not to take so long next time. I won't give a time of which I will be updating in because I have a job, and I have college starting soon.
Chapter 2: Marcella's POV
I smiled. "I have a dozen (12) familiars."
"Oh, crap. that's a lot Mells," papa said, in awed shocked, before we started laughing. "What are they?," he asked, we calmed down.
"Two are dragons with dog forms, five actual dogs (have a bit a magic in them), two fennec foxes, a wolf, a foo-dog/st. bernard/labrador/blood hound/hellhound dog mix, and an alien," I answered sheepishly. "And I have a few more but I don't know what they are.," I continued.
Papa's mouth dropped. He shook his head, amused. "Only you, baby girl, only you. When will they be here?," he asked.
"They should be here in five minutes," I answered, after I looked at my watch.
There was a flapping sound from outside. "Or now," I continued sheepishly, shaking my head.
Toothless appeared first with five boxes in his claws. Then Cloudjumper appeared next with the other five boxes in his claws. They set the boxes before they landed and turned into their dog forms.
I went to let out the fennec foxes, five dogs, hell-hound mix, and Stitch. As I let them out, I tell my papa their names and, for the dogs, breeds.
"The dogs are Meadow the Irish Wolfhound, Max the Jack Russell Terrior, Jasper the German Shephard, Willow the Golden Retriever, and Landon the Rottweiler. The fennec foxes are Nate and Onyx. The magical wolf is Ciel. The St. Bernard/Labrador/Blood Hound/Foo-Dog/Hell-hound mix is Otis. And my alien is Stitch." I introduced my familiars, Stitch climbed up my back to sit between my shoulder blades and look at my papa over my shoulder. "The dragons are Toothless the Nightfury, the black dragon and Cloudjumper the Stormcutter, gray, red/orange dragon. They can take the forms of dogs. Toothless usually a German Shepard or a Labrador. And Cloudjumper usually is a Irish Wolfhound mixed with a Great Dane. Which makes quite a big dog," I introduce my dragons, Toothless comes up to me and rubs against my side.
Papa's mouth dropped, "How in the world do you have two dragons and an alien?," he asked shocked and awed.
"I don't know, I know Stitch just appeared eight years ago during the night when I wished for a companion to help me with Renée and Isabitch. I found Toothless and Cloudjumper two years after Stitch. They were injured when I found them, so I helped them. While I was healing them, I felt a connection to them, so they started to following me around in their dog forms," I explained.
"Well, that explains that, sort of. Do you have anything else that you want to surprise me with?," papa asked amused. I nod. "Well?," he asked, somewhat excited.
"Well, a couple friends of mine, that graduated a few years ago, got married and had some kids, that they named me godmother of the two kids. And a few months ago, my friends died, and they put in their wills that I was the guardian once I turn eighteen but until then they said my godfather has custody of them both. Right now, one kid is two and the other just turned one. My godfather will be bringing them here in a few months," I surprised papa, sheepishly.
"What are the name of the kids?," he asked, "and how did the parents die, if your up to answering," he continued.
"Their names are Callen Polaris Rivers, whose two years old, and Lyra Elizabeth Rivers, who just turned one. The parents were Jill and Ryan Rivers, who both died in a car crash," I answered sadly.
"Well, I guess I'm a grandfather early," papa said, smiling hugely. I grin, hugging him tightly. "They too young to have lost their parents," papa said, sadly. I nod sadly.
"Callen and Lyra will be so happy. They want to meet you, but I told them to wait until I tell them and my godfather to come," I said half sad that they aren't here now, and half happy that papa accepted so fast.
Papa laughed and shook his head, "I can't wait to meet them either. Well, I should get going. I have to drive your sister to school in the morning. I'll show you the guest house and the other building next weekend. I hope you find your mates while your here. And I know you have a lot of questions for me, but you'll have to wait for this weekend, okay," he said. I nodded, and he smiled at me. "And Also there's a door to the garage in the living room. There's quite a few cars in there for you," he continued.
"Okay, thank you papa. I do have MANY questions. Will you be coming over for dinner?," I asked, knowing that he was living of take-out.
Papa perked up, and hugged me. "Can I? I may have been living of take-out the past few years, as I can't cook," he said/asked, sheepishly.
I laughed. "Of course, papa. It's fine, though tomorrow I may be joined by some people," I said, giggling slightly, and hoping my vision is right.
He chuckled, "Alright, I'm guessing one of your visions right?," he asked, to which I nodded. "Okay, I'll see you and the others tomorrow, baby girl," he said, hugging me before walking to the door.
"Bye, papa," I said, waving.
I watch his police car leave my drive-way. 'I've missed you. I wonder if I have any neighbors,' I passingly think.
I went to the kitchen (which was fully-stocked) to make a quick sandwich and to feed my familiars.
After eating and feeding my familiars, we go to my room where I get ready for bed. Toothless, Cloudjumper, Nate, Onyx, Ciel, Otis, Stitch, Meadow, Max, Jasper, Willow, and Landon wait fome to get done with brushing my teeth and changing.
I get into my bed large bed, where my familiars all arrange themselves around me and we all fell asleep like that.
*DREAM * BEGINS*
I felt someone grab me from behind, bend me forward, ripping my clothes off.
"Be a good girl, beautiful," said a faceless voice. But I recognized the voice. It was one of Renee's ex boy-toys, Ralph. I fought against him.
He slapped me. "Behave, girl, or else it'll be worse," he warned.
I was scared. I knew what he would do if I didn't listen, but I still fought him.
He grunted as I managed to hit him hard in the stomach. He was getting angry, "You asked for it, bitch."
He forced himself into me. I screamed and flailed against him.
He laughed as I screamed louder and louder. I could tell that he enjoyed my pain.
"No...Please, stop...," I pleaded, and he laughed.
"No, not until I'm done, you little slut," he grunted. I could tell and feel that he was close to finishing.
'Please, why me? Why can't he leave me alone, even in my dreams,' I asked myself, as he finally released.
"There, bitch. Happy that I 'stopped,'" he laughed. His laughs faded as I woke up screaming.
*DREAM * END*
Otis, Stitch, Ciel, Nate, and Cloudjumper scrambling to comfort me. "Thanks, you guys. Cloud, you're coming with me to school today, okay?," Looking at Cloud.
Cloudjumper nodded his head and turned into his Irish Wolfhound/Great Dane mix form. I smiled as I checked the time. 3:30 a.m. I sighed because I knew that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep.
"Come on, Cloud, I need to take a shower and give you a bath," I said, as I called Cloudjumper over to me.
I grabbed some clothes to wear for school. A black band shirt, a black and grey shirt flannel shirt and a black pair of ripped jeans. For shoes, I was going to wear my black combat. I got into the shower.
After I got out, I dried my short hair, so that I could spike it in my usual fohawk, and got dressed. Then I stick my head out the door. "Cloud, time for your bath," I said to Cloudjumper, who was waiting outside the bathroom door.
He came bounding into the bathroom, his tail wagging. Out of all of my familiars, Cloudjumper loves baths the most. I gave him a quick bath. Drying him, but letting Cloud shaking off the rest of the water off happily.
After I finished, I went downstairs to eat and feed my familiars. I heard my phone ringing. I check the caller I.D. It was papa.
"Hello," I answered.
"Hey, baby girl. I got the permission for you to bring one of your familiars to school as long as they behave," he said. I could tell he was smiling.
"Yay! I came up with a schedule for my familiars to take turns to go to school with me. They each get a week," I said, excited.
"I figured you did, baby girl. It's a good plan for them," he said. "I need to get Isabella up, so I'll see you tonight. Bye baby girl," he continued.
"Okay, bye papa," I said. I check the time and saw that it was 5:45 a.m. "Well, time to leave. Cloud, let's go," I said as I grab my bag. We went to the door in the living room going to the garage. When I opened the door, I saw a few cars that I've wanted. A black 1967 Chevy Impala, a black 4 -door 2002 Jeep Wrangler, a black "small" 2002 Hummer. There was another car/truck but it was covered.
I grab the keys to the Impala. "Cloud, get into the Impala," I said, as I opened the door for him. As soon as he got in, I closed the door, and went around to the driver side and got in. Starting the car and it was in PERFECT condition. I then opened the garage door and back out to leave, closing the garage door, remotely.
I turn on the radio and automatically put on the country station, for today. I turn it up as Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood comes on, and I sing along. Cloud is just bobbing his head along to the music.
Fifteen minutes later, we reach the the high school. I drove up to the main office, turning off the car. I walk in, with Cloud by my side.
"Hello, I'm Marcella Swan," I said to the desk lady.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Cope. You're Chief Swan's eldest, correct?," she asked.
I nodded. "Here is your schedule, and a map," she continued. She then showed me the quickest routes to all my classes. "It's good to have you back, Miss Swan. Maybe not your sister though. And remember to bring this slip back at the end of the day, okay?," she rambled a little.
"Yes, ma'am. And Thank you, Ma'am. It's feels great to be back," I said, gratefully and smiling at her. Cloud barks softly. Waving good-bye before walking out. I saw that Papa was dropping off Isabella, and making sure she went to the main office to get her schedule and map.
I also saw that the other students were arriving, I quickly got Cloud back into the car and went to the student parking lot. Where I parked next to a sliver Volvo, with five golden-eyed teens behind it. I open my door and get out holding it open for Cloud, then grabbing my bag for the back seat.
"Mama Mells!," I heard from the right. And the six familiar voices, were those of my six best friends.
"Angela, Ben, Eric, Jessica, Mike, Tyler!," I called back. I met them half way and they envolope me in a big group hug. We were all laughing. Next thing I know and hear is all the students are cheering and clapping.
"Welcome back, Mama Mells!," several people shout towards my group.
"Thanks, it's great to be back," I shout back, grinning. 'It really is great to be back,' I think t myself.
"So how have you been, Mama Mells?," asked Angela.
"I've been okay. My new step-father has been really great," I answered, honestly. I miss Phil, he was/is really nice.
They (being my best friends) nodded and smiled, knowing that if I say something nice about one of Renee's boy-friend/husbands (which is very, VERY rare) means he actually is a nice guy.
"What's your schedule?," Jessica asked.
Looking down at my schedule, "English with Mr. Mason, Art/Music with Mr. Barnes, Trigonometry with Mr. Varner, Spanish with Mrs. Goff, Lunch, Biology II with Mr. Banner, and Gym with Coach Clapp," I answered.
"You have English with Eric, Trig and Spanish with Jess, Lunch with all of us, Biology with Mike and me, and Gym with Mike and Jess," Angela said.
"You share Art/Music with two of the Cullens and a Hale," Jess says. I tilt my head curiously.
I suddenly feel someone trying to get into my head. I turn my head in the direction I feel it from and saw the five golden-eyed teens staring at me. They must be the Cullens and the Hales. I then realize that their eyes mean they're vegetarian vampires. I wonder if Papa knows.
I smile at them. The bell rings, "Well, time to go to class," I say.
"I'll show you the way to English, Mama Mells," Eric says, as he puts his arm around my shoulder. I hear a low growling, though it's obvious nobody else hears it. At least I know where it came from, but I don't know who growled.
"Ikimashou, Eric-kun," I say, (Let's go, Eric.). He laughs at my use of Japanese. We walked into building three.
As we walked in, Mr. Mason calls me over. "I want to welcome you back. Hopefully you'll do just as well as your old school," he smiled.
"Thank you. I hope so, too," I said, walking to the back right of the room. Eric sits by me.
English was over quickly, seeing as we were just reading. Eric then lead me to my Art/Music class. "See you later, Eric," I wave to him.
He smiles and nods, "See you later, Mama Mells."
I walk into the class. Mr. Barnes greets me with a large smile and a semi hug. He's my other godfather. "Welcome back, Miss Swan," he says.
"Thank you," I smile back.
"What instruments do you play?," he asked, for the benefit of the curious students.
"I play the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, drums (or most percussion instruments), violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, and piano. I also sing. I'm mostly an alto, but I can sing soprano, tenor, and a little bit bass, just not too low," I answer sheepishly but proudly.
"Wow, that's more than the last time I talk to you. Well, I hope you'll play a song for us tomorrow," Mr. Barnes says.
"I'd be glad to," I answered sheepishly.
"You can go sit by Miss Cullen. Miss Cullen raise your hand so my god-daughter can find her seat," Mr. Barnes order.
I saw a small hand go up two handsome males. As I walk back, I notice the girl raising her hand was short, golden eyes, short spiky hair.
"Hi, I'm Alice Cullen. Edward Cullen is the one with bronze hair, and Jasper Hale is the one with blond hair," she introduces her and her brothers.
"Hi, I'm Marcella Swan, but I go by Marcy, Mells, El, and some other nicknames," I greet her back, smiling.
"Today, you'll be drawing some mythical creatures of your choice. You're allowed to talk to other students within your vicinity. Get to it," Mr. Barnes told/order us.
I got out my sketchbook. I plan to draw my dragons and Otis' Hell-hound pack.
"By the way, Miss Swan, why do you have a dog here?," Mr. Barnes asked.
"I need to one of my pets with me at all times. Or at least know that they are around the area I'm in. They help my anxiety attacks," I answer, sheepishly. Mr. Barnes nodded. The Cullens and Hale, then turn their chairs towards each and me.
"How do you like Forks so far, Marcella?," Alice asked. I smiled at her.
"It's just as I remember, comforting. I love being back with my friends and my papa. At least here I get to escape my mother," I answer, smiling a little. I start drawing Tooth's body and head. They smile at me.
"Why did everyone call you "Mama Mells," if you don't mind me asking," Edward asked. I smiled, thinking back.
"When we were all younger, I use to take care of everyone, and made sure they all ate. When one of the girl had a bad break up, like the guy cheated on her or he abused her in someway, I make the guys regret ever hurting my friends. Or if they were sick or hurt, if I was here I would bring them food and watch them for their parents, and if I was away, I'd send them a care package," I answered. Looking up from my drawing, and smiling slightly.
I finished drawing Toothless, so I started drawing Cloudjumper's head and body. After finishing Cloud, I'll start drawing Otis' hell-hound pack, or at least part of the pack, seeing as there are well over a dozen hounds in the pack.
"So, you're protective of your friends," Jasper surmised. I nodded, finishing the hell-hound pack and starting the last being of the drawing, Otis, and the background and shading.
"How about you guys? You three and your family are more new than me. Though your family has been here before. Just not Alice and Jasper," I teased/stated. They laughed slightly, before Alice's jaw drops slightly and Jasper and Edward's eyes widen. I just smile at them, before finishing the shading and the background, and then I decided to add color.
"It's been fun, so far. But how did you know about our family?," Alice asked. Whatever she seemed to be drawing was finished and she was also adding color to it, same for Edward and Jasper. I look at her and simply say "You're eyes, the way on of you two (I looked at Jasper and Edward) growled when Eric put his arm around my shoulder, and I know the Quilluette Legends." I look at Edward and Jasper for their answers to my question before.
"I agree with Alice," Jasper answered, but he seemed confused.
"Good, would be great if some of the girld stopped trying to ask me out," Edward said, slightly annoyed. I looked at my watch and noticed the period was a little more than halfway over.
I laughed at Edward's statement. "Oh, really? Well, I'll talk to the girls," I say. Edward looks at me oddly.
"How will that help?," Edward asks, confused.
"Well, assuming you three are my friends now. And my "children" are annoying you a bit. Or a lot. I'll them that asking you out is just scaring you off, and that you're just waiting for the right girl,"I answer, laughing lightly. And some of the girls nearby blushed, ashamed when I gave them my "I'm-disappointed-in-you" look.
"We're sorry. We'll stop, and tell the other girls what Mama Mells said. Though I think she be a good match for you. While she takes care of all of us, she needs someone to take care of her a bit. Not a lot, but a bit," said a brave sophomore. I smiled, with slight tears in my eyes, walking over and giving her a small hug. "Thank you, cara. But it'll be a bit before I'll be in a relationship," I said, smiling sadly (dear). She nodded and I went back to my seat.
"See, Edward," I smirk at him, as he gapes slightly at me. Jasper just laughs slightly. I decided to see if they have any powers.
'Hmm, seemed Jasper has empathy, Alice can see decision based futures, and Edward can read minds. Except for mine. I wonder if that's because of my mind barriers. Weird," I think to myself, mentally shrugging.
"Will you sit with us at lunch?," Alice asked with pleading eyes.
"I think will, but I'll need to tell my friends. They'll be fine with it as long as I remember to sit with them some times. I just hope they won't have to deal with my sister," I answered, smiling. Jasper and Edward looked happy though.
The rest of the period (all of ten minutes) flew by quickly. We parted, with a promise to talk more at lunch.
I went to trig. Jess was waiting for me. She seemed to be buzzing, by the way her leg was bouncing.
"So how was art/music? What did you draw? I remember you love to draw," she rambled.
"Calm down. It was fun. I have to sing and a play a song tomorrow. I drew two dragons, and a hell-hound pack. I met two of the Cullens and a Hale that are in my class. They invited me to sit with them," I answered.
"Really? Will you seat with them? We wouldn't mind, as long as you some days, you sit with us," Jess said smiling.
I smile at her, as we work on some problems I've already worked on. "Yes, I told them I would. I promise I'll always make time for my six best friend," I smile at her again. She smiles back and says "Thanks, Mama Mells."
The class seemed to end quickly. Jessica and I went to Spanish. I was greeted by Mrs. Goff. ~"Hola, Señorita Marcella. Como esta?"~ (Hello, Miss Marcella. How are you?)
~"Hola, señora Goff. Estoy bien, Y tu?,"~ I answered. (Hello, Mrs. Goff. I'm fine, and you?)
~"Muy bien, gracias Señorita Marcella. Tome asiento en cualquier lugar,"~ she answered back. (I'm good, thank you, Miss Marcella. Have a seat anywhere.)
I nodded taking a seat next to Jess. We did our work and the class flew by quickly like the rest of my classes. Soon we left for lunch. "See you later Jess, tell the other," I say. "See you later Mama Mells. I will," she answers back, smiling.
I start walking to the cafeteria, when Alice comes behind me and jumps on my back. "Holy crap Alice, why are you on my back?," I asked curiously, not really caring that she's on my back. Luckily I was carrying my bag at my side.
"I wanted to," she answered, smiling innocently.
I shrugged, "Okay," I smiled. I can't help but think about what the other two will think of me, I mentally shrug, 'Whatever happens, happens,' I think to myself as Edward and Jasper catch up to us and we all start walking the rest of the way to the cafeteria.
Then I realize that there may be a bit of drama, not counting we're about to walk in and Alice is still on my back. Oh well.
AN) Finally get to update. Again sorry for the long wait. I'm working on some other Fanfictions. Almost finished with A New and Unexpected Life's prologue, so that should be uploaded soon. Otherwise no further news on any of the fanfictions I'm writing. I'll leave the choice up to you guys(/girls) if you guys(/girls) want to know what they are or if you want them to remain a secret until I post them. Anyway, hope those in the USA had a great fourth of July and those outside the USA had a great Monday (or whichever day due to some of the time differences). Enough of my rambling now, I shall update when I can.
-Soren.
