Chapter 8
The Dinner and Offers
Jess
I went to the little log house behind mine. Transforming inside it, I howled at the pack for a meeting.
The came in a heartbeat.
We all untransformed because we all agreed that talking in minds was creepy. I told them all to sit down or on the floor.
"Whats up, Jess?" Bently asked me. He has a really annoying voice right now. But I smiled and pretended to be great friends with him.
"Well my mom and dad were wondering if you guys would like to come to dinner tonight? It`ll be fun." I said.
"Whos going to be there?" Jacob asked.
"Freinds and family." That wasn`t lieing. My friends and family.
"...Sure. What time?"
"Six thirty. And...come with a shirt please."
"Jess, were not animals!" Aaron said. Not that I wanted to be...
Now I know how Arrow feels...he don`t want to be a vampire...And I don`t want to be a werewolf.
I was thinking while everyone was laughing...but at what consent could they be laughing at? All is not right in the world...vampires and werewolves should get along. They need to. I didn`t notice I was still thinking when everyone stared at me.
"Jess...you alright?"
"What? Oh, uh, yeah...Six thirty... Bye." I said, I transformed and left in a rush. I went where the werewolves didn`t know. The treehouse behind the aprtments. I practically owned this place. No one came in to see who was there. They just knew that when the door was slammed shut, do not even look up there. Just keep on walking.
I went over to the futon I had in there. Yes, this is just like my little house. I had a mini- fridge, I had a couch/ bed, and I had electricty. I use a genortator used for storms. So when I come up here during a black-out, all you can see is a little yellow light.
I got out from under the futon my little notebook full of poems. Since my memory was jacked up, I forgot all about poems. My fingers were itching for it.
I got out my pen...
' When life goes in a diffrent way
Don`t make lemonade,
I know now that since I`m diffrent, new fresh.
I couldn`t understand what was beneath this flesh.
Inside was a monster, beast, a freak.
And I thought I was unique...
I...was wrong.'
I put my pen and note book back under the futon...I checked the clock, hanging by the picture of me and Arrow when we first started being best friends. Even if we did break up I would always have him as my best friend. Always. He was too important to me. Anyways, I checked the clock. 6:20. It usually takes me ten minutes to get home from here anyways. I hopped out of my tree house. I don`t know who built it, I just know I`m glad they did.
I walked home, enjoying the sunset.
I got home early. The Safrens were already there. Ivy and Adalyn was helping my mom fix the table. They looked like they were enjoying themselves. Faine and Christian were on the love seat, bouncing Ava in the air . Dad was in his 'special' chair. Kendra was...somewhere. Lucious and Jason were on the couch. And Arrow was sitting on the stairs. He smiled when he saw me. I smiled too.
DING DONG!
That must be the pack...yay...
I answered the door, luckily no one was being loud and the living room and dining room was across the hall. That would`ve blown it.
They stepped in. And fortunatly, they were wearing shirts.
"Hey guys, uhh, come on in. But I have to warn you...Its kinda full. Were about to move the tables outside, and its lucky you guys are here." I said walking back in the living room.
Act like you hate me. Like act like you kick me, and go to your room. We can talk mindly...ish. Arrows voice said in my head. The pack started following me into the living room. I started going up the stairs, and as much as I hated to do this, kneed Arrow in the shoulder. I looked at him coldly.
Good girl. He said.
I went to my room and laid on my bed, trying to think to Arrow.
"Arrow? Are you there?"
"Yes, I`m here. You did great. The pack thinks you hate me! There staring at my family evilly but they won`t do nothing with you dad standing right here."
"Then my plan worked." I said like Then. My plan. Worked!
"Yes, it did...Umm Jacob is coming up the stiars...He asked Kendra which room was yours."
"Where was Kendra?"
"She was behind your dads chair by the table in the hall. With the mirror."
"Should`ve known."
Knock Knock Knock.
"If thats Arrow I want you to go straight back downstairs and not talk to me." I lied.
"Its Jacob." He said.
"Oh, then come in." I said, he came in a little violently.
"They`re vampires in your house, Jess."
"Yeah, I know."
"And your not going to do nothing about it?"
"Can`t. Mom invited them."
"You have got to be kidding me."
" I kid you not." I said, taking out a Guitar World magazine. I started flipping through the pages boredly.
"Jesse, this is serious. We have to do something about it."
"Why? There not doing anymore harm than we are."
"Jess."
"Jacob." I said in the amusing tone.
"Are you lieing?"
Oh crap. I`m a terrible at telling the truth.
"Yes, Jacob, I`m running away with the Safrens to live in Kansas with their great grandma named Sally." I said sarcastically.
"Jesse...Just don`t betray the pack."
"No promises." I said.
"Jess!" He said loudly.
"Oh look-ie. Big bad alpha gonna get his voice rasied." I said in a baby tone. He stared at me straight in the face.
"Listen here, Jess, I`m only going to say this once. So get it clear and get it through your head quick. You do not insult the alpha. You do not joke about vampires. And you absolutely do not..." He put his hand on my thigh, and the other on my calf. He started to bend my leg forwards. I thought I felt something pop, but he kept pressing forward. Oh my gosh...Hes trying to break my leg!
Arrow! I screamed in my mind he was up here in one second.
"Let her go." Arrow said loudly.
"Not yet." Jacob said. Arrow grabbed onto his arm. This made him angry. He started pressing on my leg more. I couldn`t scream, or it would make someone notice. I felt it snap. I could feel tears running down my face.
He threw me on the ground and ran down the stairs. Arrow came over to me and held me, while I cried.
"Shh...Its okay...I`m here." He kept telling me. I just hugged him as close as I could.
"It hurts so bad." I whisperd.
"I`m going to make him pay...I will." I herd Arrow wisper.
After about a ten minutes, mom called for dinner. Arrow helped me up and down the stairs. The werwolves saw us...but we didn`t care anymore. I stared at Jacob coldly. Not like the fake cold stare I did with Arrow. This was like daggers.
"Jess, what happend?" Bently asked.
"Why don`t you ask Mr. Aplha?"
"Jacob? What happened?"
"She betrayed us...She didn`t get what she deserved. What she deserves is much, much worse." He said staring straight at me.
I kept up my poker face until I got outside. Mom saw me and asked what was wrong.
"Mom, its fine. I just...I just accidently tripped on Squeechee. (AN: REMEMBER THE CAT in the first chapter of the first story? ITS BACK.) "
"Oh, honney. Are you alright?"
"No...I think broke my knee on the stairs. "
"After dinner we`ll get you to a doctor."
"Kay`" I said. Arrow helped me over to a chair. The patio was full of tables. Everybody sat next to their favorite person. Well dad sat at the head, and sat at the other end. Mom sat on the right side of dad, Kendra sat next to mom, I sat next to Kendra, Arrow sat next to me. Adalyn sat next to Arrow, Jason sat next to Adalyn, Christian sat next to Jason, and Faine sat next to Christian. Next to Christian was Ava, and next to Ava was Ivy. Then there was Lucious at the end.
On dad`s left was Jacob, next to Jacob was Aaron, next to Aaron was Mohawk, and next to Mohawk was Ben. Next to Ben was Ant, next to Ant was Shaggy. Next to Shaggy were the triplets. Next to the triplets was Drew, and Next to Drew was Austin. Next to Austin was Andrew, and next to Andrew was Bently on the end. The werewolf pack took up a whole side. Which was 12 on each side. I noticed Bently sat as far away from Jacob as possible.
Arrow`s phone started ringing.
"Who`s that?"
"This one girl in Washington I met, named Renesmee." He said, he answered and put her on speaker.
"Hey Renesmee!" I said.
"Ahh, so I see little broken Arrow got his girl back, huh? I have so much to tell you about what Arrow did when he-"
"Renesmee?" Jacob said loudly.
"Jacob? Is that...Is that you?"
"Yes, what- how do you know him?"
"He stayed with our family...Why are you with them? I thought your family and his family hated each other."
"Jess parents suggested we have dinner together. Which is a very nice dinner, Mrs. Tyrant." Arrow said.
"That makes me sound hungry."
"Renesmee, hang up this phone right now."
"Why don`t you come over to Washington and make me, Jakey?"
"Nessie...Please, hang up the phone." The phone line went dead. We all had question marks on our faces.
"I was there when she was born okay? Stop looking at me like that." He said quietly. He got up from the table and walked away. I saw a tear fall on the table before he left. I felt sorry for him. Sorry becuase hes sad. I`m a softie for sad people.
I started to get up.
"Jess...Don`t... I`ll take of it."
I bended him down to whisper in his ear.
"Don`t hurt him. Wait till he`s stable. For me?"
He nodded and left.
Everyone was in awe. Even the vampires.
I got up and limped over to where they went... I could hear their conversation. But I couldn`t see them. I could almost feel the awkard silence at dinner so I had to leave... And I anted to make sure Arrow wouldn`t say the wrong thing.
"I don`t see why you would leave them, Jacob." Arrow said.
"You don`t understand, Arrow. They didn`t want me there for Renesmee. You know why? Becuase I imprinted on her. They didn`t want to be with her. They hated me because of it. She hated me becuase of it." He said the last part softly.
"Renesmee? Buts she just 13."
"No, not her, Bella. She was my best friend. And she loved me. Just not as much as Edward. You met them both, right?"
"Yes, why?"
"Were they mean, were they cruel. What did Renesmee look like?"
"No they were aboslutely nice. And Renesmee looks like Edward, alot. Same hair color and everything."
"Did you know she was half vampire?" Renesmee was a half? I thought Arrow was the Dragoe?
"Yes, she told me. She thought about you alot. . .I can give you her phone number if you want. You don`t age right?"
"Unless I stop transforming." Is that how you get rid of this? Yes! Freedom!
"Then just wait til Renesmee is 16. Then grow up with her. You can have Bella within Renesmee."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Hey Arrow?"
"Hmm?"
"Your alright...I`m sorry about what I did... to Jess. I was being a jerk. Tell her, I said she don`t have to come to werewolf training if she don`t want to."
"But, if she don`t won`t she -"
"She don`t have to if she don`t want to."
Silence. I herd them walking again so I limped as fast as I could.
I was seated three seconds before they were back.
Arrow took his seat beside me.
"Well. Maybe we should just do this some other time." Mom started to say.
"No, its fine. I just need to tell Arrow something." Jacob said.
"Yeah, but all is good." Arrow said.
"Lets eat!" I said.
"All is good." Arrow whispered, smiling.
I smiled at him. I knew exactly what he meant. He was getting the werewolves and vampires united. One by one.
"Now you wait...It goes on. For so long." Arrow said.
" What?" I said.
"I know you know what I was talking about. Just wait. It goes on, for so long."
"What does that mean?" I practically screamed.
"This is going to be hard. It will have pain. Phisically and mentally...It goes on for so long...Its so wrong. ( im a poet and knowd it (= )"
I just got a little bit of the phisical pain he was talking about. Every time he got a werewolf alpha`s trust, I`ll get hurt...I`m willing to take it though. This needed to be fixed.
Soon.
