Can't Fight The Moonlight
Chapter 7
As he spotted the school, Harry really considered going back but as the Vampire continued to show up when he was alone; he really didn't want to risk it. He was glad today his mum would be home before he got back from school. It was her day off so she didn't need to go back to work. Which meant he might be safe tonight, he didn't understand why he was being targeted. Perhaps he would be safe until his mum got back. Sighing sadly before he could change his mind he moaned in pain as he tried to square his shoulders without thinking, that had hurt.

"You're back!" screeched Esme practically throwing herself at Edward. Edward effortlessly caught her and hugged her back. A small peaceful smile on his face, as if he had decided what he was going to do.
"I am. Sorry I left Esme" said Edward softly.
"Oh Edward if it helped I don't mind!" soothed Esme, unwinding herself from him.
"Did it?" asked Rosalie, one of the few Cullen's unafraid to say what was on her mind.
"It did" nodded Edward.
"What's your verdict?" asked Jasper arms crossed watching and feeling Edward's emotions.
"I'm going to give it a try" said Edward confusing the family even more.
"Oh Edward I'm so happy" squealed Esme happily, obviously Carlisle had told her. It didn't surprise Edward as Esme was Carlisle's mate and he told her everything. Especially when it concerned Edward, Esme he knew loved him the most, because he didn't have a special someone in his life.
"What are you happy about?" asked Alice curiously, cocking her head to the side making her look even cuter if possible. Her lip was almost pouting out, as if she was trying to make Esme tell her.
"You like that human don't you?" sighed Rosalie working it out ahead of everyone.
"Well if you cant like your mate who can you like?" asked Edward softly.
Rosalie's jaw hit the floor, Emmett laughed in amusement, and Jasper remained deadly quiet. Alice grinned happily, finally able to befriend her human she liked. Esme just smiled and Carlisle grinned in amusement and happiness - perhaps now his son would believe they had a soul and stop thinking he is damned.
"Well I'll be damned" said Jasper feeling quite stunned along with everyone else's.
"I want your permission before I proceed" asked Edward the door was shut but they remained standing around the hall way.
"I'm fine with it!" grinned Alice happily.
"Whatever you want bro," grinned Emmett "It might be fun having a human around."
"You know its fine with us" said Carlisle, wrapped around his wife Esme smiling proudly at his youngest son.
Rosalie and Jasper looked at each other, a frown marring their features; Edward could hear their thoughts and winced. Not wanting to trust the human, not wanting to have to kill him if he didn't accept Edward. Edward listened as they resolved and made up their minds. Edward gave a little crooked grin at their thoughts feeling a weight coming from his shoulders.
"He hurts you he better run" said Rosalie nodding her head accepting her brother's decision.
"It's your decision and as a brother I will support you and respect your judgment" murmured Jasper.
"Thank you" smiled Edward happily, his family agreed so it wouldn't make this difficult.
"Are you going to school today? How are you going to explain everything?" asked Esme.
"No one's going to ask questions…how can they?" smirked Edward, his record wasn't exactly 100% but it was still good. They took the sunny days off which was once in a blue moon and a few that weren't sunny his record was about 95% and its better than most people at Forks High School. Which was saying something especially for a vampire.
"Harry is feeling down, he isn't making many friends" said Alice softly.
Edward frowned, Harry was different from everyone at Forks High but he couldn't understand why he hadn't made a friend yet. Sure he wasn't a gossip but not everyone there was a gossip.
"Don't worry so much" said Jasper soothingly calming Edward down.
"That's not what you are wearing to school! You won't get your mate in that!" said Alice eyeing Edward critically.
Edward smirked Alice would never changed and he loved that about her. She dragged him up the stairs and begun pulling out clothes she wanted him to wear, Edward indulged her because to be honest he just wanted to get to school and see his mate. He was exactly happy about bumping into his singer but there was nothing to be done.
"See you down stairs we leave soon" chirped Alice grinning cheerfully as she skipped gracefully as always out of his room. To give him privacy as he dressed, he tried as best he could to keep out their thoughts and concentrating on his own.
.X.
Edward was incredibly confused when he began hearing his mates thoughts 'Oh no The Cullen's are here…I should just go home' he thought bitterly, upon seeing the silver Volvo. As he walked towards the school which was now straight ahead but he had no intention of going in. Harry could see the looks Edward was throwing him, scared witless he backed up and began walking away most people would have called it wobbling. His entire body, which consisted of his back, arms and legs were killing him.
"What's wrong?" asked Jasper tensing feeling everything.
Edward didn't say anything, but he smelt something that just about had him see red. His mate smelt of another vampire, not only smelt but he could sense Venom on him. Alice quickly told Emmett and Jasper to hold him; they did as he was told as Edward just about went out of control. Alice had seen something shocking, Edward attacked Harry! or would have done if not for her quick actions. She saw no reason for it either, needless to say the pixy like vampire was deadly confused. As soon as Harry saw this when he looked back as he walked away, walked even quicker, he knew the Cullen's could smell another vampire on him. He suddenly actually felt petrified of them for the first time. One vampire was bad enough but five? He wouldn't survive that.
"Edward calm down tell us what's wrong! Why would you attack him?" demanded Alice standing in front of Edward. Thankfully most of the students were in the school already.
"He smells of another vampire" growled Edward angrily. It was pure possessiveness, Harry was his he had no right going with someone else especially not another vampire.
Ooo will Harry get a chance to explain? or will edward loose any chance of having his mate? will edward see something that stops him? will the cullens be able to stop edward claiming his mate in anger? will they manage to get Harry to carlisle in time? will i have harry able to fight the venom? have him special unlike normal people? will his blood be disgusting? why did james stop? will carlisle be able to help? sorry about the short chapter i'll try and post another one tomorrow at some point hopefully if i have the time!
