Chapter 7

When I woke up in the morning I found my window was wide open. I figured Charlie must have opened it after I had fallen asleep. I was surprised to see the sun was shining through my window. I woke up immediately and ran to my window. I poked my head out to be sure I wasn't just imagining it, thankfully I wasn't. It was a Sunday so I decided that I would maybe go for a walk. I walked down stair surprised to see Charlie still sitting at the table. I thought he was fishing with Harry today.

"Good, morning Bells" he said brightly.

"I thought you went fishing." I told him.

"Actually Billy invited us to go over to his house today." he replied uncertainly.

"Oh, Okay. I haven't seen Jacob since last time. I guess I could come." I had only seen Jacob once since I moved here, but he was nice. It was his father who I had bought my truck from.

"Oh great." he sounded relieved. "I thought you might be spending time with Mike."

"Nope" I cringed internally at the thought. "Just let me eat first."

I poured myself a bowl of cereal and then went to the fridge to get the milk. I added that to the bowl and sat down to eat. I could see that Charlie was in a rush to get to Billy's house so I ate quickly. Charlie hopped in to his cruiser and waited for me. I sighed and hopped in. It was a quiet ride to La Push, neither of us being huge talkers. When we finally got there Jacob greeted us at the door and invited us in. They turned on the TV and began to chat with each other while watching it. I was vaguely paying attention to what they were talking about, but my interest spiked when I heard Billy mention the Cullens.

"No, we haven't had any trouble from them," Charlie was saying, "But if all those kids are adopted then there will probably be some eventually."

"Yes," agreed Billy wholeheartedly. "The Cullens are definitely trouble."

"Carlisle Cullen is an amazing doctor though, we are lucky to have him here. I'd gladly put up with some mischievous teens if it meant that he stayed." Charlie told him.

"Well I still think they are trouble, all of them." Billy said.

"Have you met any of them?" Asked Charlie.

"No, They don't come to La Push." I sensed there was more to that story but did not press him.

"Bella, they are at your school how did they seem to you?" Charlie asked me. Billy looked like he was way to interested in my answer.

"Edward Cullen is in one of my classes and he seemed nice enough." it was an honest enough answer. I didn't want to tell Charlie that I had eaten dinner with them in Port Angeles, it would raise unnecessary questions. Hey both nodded and went on to other conversations. Jacob and I were talking as well, He was telling me all about his friends Quil and Embry, and about school. It was nice listening to his chatter. When he asked about my life, and my friends I didn't have much to tell him. He seemed slightly bothered by this but went on with his chatter. Until finally he asked a question that spiked my interest in the conversation.

"So you met the Cullens?" he ask me.

"Yea, I ran in to Alice and Edward Cullen at the mall when we went shopping for dresses." I told him.

"Oh, okay. People here don't like the Cullens." He said.

"Why? They haven't been here long enough to offend anyone have they?" I asked miffed.

"No, they haven't. Its just some of our old legends." He replied.

"Oh?"

"Well we aren't really supposed to talk about them, apparently it would break the treaty." He told me reluctantly.

"I wont tell anyone," I encouraged. After some hesitation he told me of the Quileute's legends of the cold people. How they had made a treaty with the golden eyed cold ones making sure they would stay off our land. He told me how the Cullens didn't hunt people, they hunted animals, and therefore weren't supposed to be dangerous. He told me the cold ones, were Vampires.

"Vampires?" I asked him. He nodded in confirmation.

"It's all nonsense though," he said shaking his head. He didn't put much stock in the old legends. "But some kids wont even go to the hospital now because a Cullen works there."

"Wow." It was the only word I could think of. Before Jacob could respond Charlie called me telling me it was time to go back. I smiled at Jake. "I'll see you later." I said giving him a small hug.

"Bye Bella."

The ride back home was as silent as the one to there. I was thinking over what Jacob had told me. Could the Cullens be vampires. I decided that I wouldn't dwell on it, it seemed way to ridiculous to believe. Before I knew it we were back home and Charlie was turning off the cruiser. I hopped out absentmindedly and walked in to the house. I told Charlie that I was tired and went upstairs. After hours of tossing and turning I finally fell into an uneasy sleep.


Please Review. Oh and just wait for Chapter 11 something BIG happens.
