Chapter 6: Questions
Reggie's POV
After I made sure she went to sleep I walked deep in the forest. I hadn't run as a wolf in many years, because my family didn't know about my secret. Since I will tell them in a few minutes time, I thought I could phase and run around a little bit. Just flexing my muscles. I made sure no one was around, no wolf, vampire or human, and phased. My clothes tore apart, but I didn't really care. I always had a pair of underwear and jeans outside the house just in case. And now they would come in handy. God,how I had missed running on four legs. Since I always was and will always be a part of the pack, my mind was linked to theirs (but of course I had mine shielded from theirs), so I knew that there were currently two wolves on patrol. I skillfully avoided them and was in front of my home half an hour after I left Alice's house. When the family heard me coming, they all got out ready in defensive crouches with Emmett and Edward in front.
"What do you want, mutt?" Edward asked me.
"Nice way to greet your brother." I thought.
"Reggie?" Edward asked raising from his crouch. The others looked at me wide-eyed.
"Give me a minute." I thought and ran off to the forest and my clothes. I quickly dressed and went back to them.
"What the hell was that?" Edward asked me furious.
"You know what it was." I simply answered.
"Why have you been hiding this?" It was Bella's turn to ask.
"Because it's the weirdest thing and I have always tried to forget about it."
"It's just a power, man. You just happen to be so unique that you have three powers." Emmett said patting my back.
"Excuse me? You think that my phasing is just a power?" I asked surprised. They all nodded.
"What else could it mean?" Carlisle asked.
"How about the fact that I'm a werewolf?" They all gasped.
"But you are drinking blood, you don't sleep and you don't have a heartbeat." Carlisle was trying to find something logical about I confessed. Just then, I let the beat of my heart be revealed. Again they gasped.
"I CAN sleep, if I want to, I CAN either drink blood or eat and I most definitely HAVE a heartbeat."
"How?" They simultaneously asked.
"Let's go inside and I'll tell you the truth about me." I said and we all got inside. I told them my story and they reacted they same way Alice had. At least the women. They sobbed and hugged me.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Esme questioned sobbing in my chest.
"Because of this. I knew you would react that way and wanted to avoid it."
"Then why are you telling us now?" Emmett asked with a sad face.
"Because he imprinted on Alice. That's why you said you couldn't leave her, right?" My father said.
"Yes. I'm just not physically able to do so. Even now, I miss her."
"Does she know about everything?" Bella asked.
"Of course she does. That's what he shielded from me in her mind." Edward said and I nodded. I could see that Carlisle had so many questions to ask.
"Dad, ask whatever you want. I don't mind."
"You are the rightful alpha of the pack, aren't you?" I nodded. "Why don't you claim your position?"
"Because if I do, I will probably have to leave you guys and I don't want that. Also, the wolves would never trust me when I have lived and acted as a vampire for 2500 years."
"But you don't have to live like a vampire. You don't need blood like we do." Esme stated.
"Mom, I do need some. It's just that my thirst is less frequent than yours. But I do need to drink blood once in a while."
"Are you a relative of Billy Black?" Rosalie asked me.
"A distant uncle, yeah."
"Do they know about you?" She asked again.
"If you mean of my existence, then yes. I was part of their legends about 1000 years ago. I don't know if their ancestors have passed them on to the next generations though."
"What do you mean you were part of their legends?" Edward asked me.
"I mean that I was mentioned in them and also all wolves had been ordered to never attack Blake Reginald Scott Carter. But as I said I don't know if that stills stands."
"How many powers do you have, Blake?" Bella asked me.
"First of all, don't call me Blake. I don't want an unnecessary attention and if I'm still a part of the Quilete's legends they will get suspicious....." I was cut off by Rosalie.
"I'm surprised they haven't already. I mean you just cut out one of your names."
"Yeah, but that's what how they mostly know me. They have to search in depth to find my whole name. If they heard someone call me Blake Carter, as well as the fact that they think I'm a vampire would make them search."
"You didn't answer my question." Bella declared pouting.
"I was going to before Rosalie interrupted me. My own powers include mind-reading, phasing and the ability to absorb other powers. So....." I trailed off.
"You have to be kidding me. You are the most powerful vampire in the world. Well sort-of." Emmett said disbelievingly. "I'm so jealous right now."
"Emmett, believe me. You would hate to be me. The bagagge I carry is too much for one person. I'm surprised I haven't broken down after telling the story of my life two times in one day."
"How did you manage to do that?" Esme asked me.
"Well, a few tears did escape from my eyes, but that was all. I guess the fact that Alice wasn't repulsed by me helped."
"When will I meet her? I just can't wait to meet the girl that turned my boy's world upside down."
"Actually tomorrow. I'll pick her up at 11 and we'll come here."
"Have you told her that tomorrow is your birthday? Well wait. Tomorrow is your real birthday, right?" Esme asked me.
"Yes mom, it is. And yes I told her. I don't know if she remembers it though, cause I told her many other things about me."
"What have you been doing all day?" Bella asked me from Edward's lap.
"We played with Olivia until Alice went to prepare dinner and I was left alone with her. The little squirt actually told me that if I hurt her sister, she will kick my butt. It was pretty funny seeing such a tiny person angry. After we ate dinner, she went upstairs to put Olivia to bed and when she returned we watched a movie, until her father and step-mother came."
"You actually ate?" Emmett asked me with a disgusted face.
"Emmett, I'm a hybrid. It smelled and tasted amazing to me."
"What movie did you watch?" Rosalie asked.
"A vampire-werewolf movie I hadn't seen before. It's called 'Underworld 3: the rise of the lycans'. Do you know about it?"
"Are you kidding me? You haven't seen that movie? Any of the trilogy?" Bella asked in disbelief.
"Well, no. But I loved it. But the best thing is that I had Alice in my arms." I said grinning. Fortunately no one commented on how whiped I am. They were just smiling.
"Did the mayor see you two together?" Carlisle asked me.
"Yes, dad, he did. In fact, I left after he and his wife returned home. He was happy that I'm the one Alice dates and not some other scumbag in town. Don't look at me like that mom, that were his thoughts. Do you mind if I go to my studio now?"
"Go on. Just don't forget to pick Alice up at 11. And also happy birthday Blake."
"As if he would forget. Happy birthday!" Rosalie said. There was a chorus of happy birthdays before I got downstairs to my studio.
The studio was the place I spent most of my time before Alice came in my life just a day ago. I took my guitar in hand, sat on my usual stool and played the rythm that I couldn't keep out of my head all day. Thinking about Alice, I also wrote some lyrics for it. When I finished it, I recorded it and put it in my i-pod. I checked my watch to see when I could finally be with my baby and saw that it was already ten thirty. I quickly changed and ran to my car. At 10:59 I was at her door. I didn't get the chance to knock because Olivia opened the door and threw herself in my arms.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!" She squealed.
"Thank you Olivia."
"Hey I was supposed to wish him happy birthday first." Alice appeared at the door looking gorgeous as always. Jenny was behind her. I let Olivia down and Alice came to me. "Happy Birthday, baby." She said and kissed me.
"Thank you."
"So how do you feel being an official adult, Reggie?" Jenny asked me.
"Like I did yesterday. Unbelievably in love with Alice." I answered smiling.
"Shouldn't we get going?" Alice asked blushing.
"Yeah, we should. Good morning girls." I said waving to Jenny and Olivia and they did the same. Once in the car I connected my i-pod to the stereo and put some music. "I didn't expect you to remember."
"How could I forget my boyfriend's birthday? And you told me yesterday. I don't forget that easily. I've got you a birthday present."
"Really? When did you manage to do that?"
"I woke up earlier and went to buy you something." She said.
"You didn't have to. You have already given me everything. So what is it?"
"It's a ring. Here." She gave me the ring and I was amazed. It was a simple gold ring that had her name inscribed in Latin and it fit perfectly on my pinky. "You don't have to wear it, if you don't like it."
"Ali, I love it. Do you why? Because you gave it to me and because it's beautiful. Now I want your opinion on something."
"What exactly?"
"A song I wrote a few hours ago." I said and let it play.
I'm in to deep
Swept away by the tide
And I can't escape this feeling inside
Baby, whatcha do to me
Close my eyes and I can see
Thinking 'bout you constantly ever since last night
You came to my door
Love the way that you greet me
I knew it was on from the way that you let me
Touch you when you're all alone
I'm just so ready to go
You just let me take control
You and me all night
Cause it's the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
can't get enough
can't get enough
can't get enough
can't get enough
I need more
I need more
I need more
I need more
I like the way that you love me
You look like a star
Your bodies so perfect
You win an award for the greatest performance
Such a crazy love scene and its starring you and me
that's the part I like to see
You were amazing
I feel the same the morning after
Now wishing the time would go so much faster
So I could be with you again
Be my lover and a friend
If you want to do it then
don't keep me waiting
Cause it's the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
can't get enough
can't get enough
can't get enough
can't get enough
I need more
I need more
I need more
I need more
Like a moth to the flame
Drawn in and I can't stay away
When we touch
I can't stop
Wanting to and again and again
If you feel the way I feel
Then you know this love is real
I should stay awake but your gravity is pulling me in
I don't wanna break the spell
Your making my life the sweetest hell
No I can't get enough
No I can't get enough of you
Cause it's the way that you love me
The way that you touch me
can't get enough
can't get enough
can't get enough
can't get enough
I need more
I need more
I need more
I need more
When the song ended, she just sat there smiling at me.
"You wrote that for me?"
"Who else can make my world turn upside down? We are here." I said as I pulled in our garage. Why are there cars in front of our house though? "Alice stay close behind me." We walked to the livingroom and were faced with three of the vampires I have been trying to avoid the past few centuries and some new ones. They turned around and gasped when they saw me.
"BLAKE???"
Because of my story's traffic stats I know that there are people reading this story, so why don't you review? It won't take more than one minute and it would also really make my day. So REVIEW!!!!!!!!!
