Chapter 10 (I don't own anything) Read and Review please.
Bellapov
I feel them staring me down as I chomp away at my cold cereal. I didn't care these boys had never hurt me the way they had last night even when Edward had pulled what he had.
"Baby girl last night was all my idea and fault"
What the hell? Since when Emmett? This is so not like him. But I was too mad to talk to any of them. I wanted to slap each of them again.
"Everything ok?" Carlisle ask coming down the stairs.
"Peachy." I say and take my bowl and rinse it out.
It was still two more days until school and I knew I was going to be stuck with the Cullen boys. I begin to make plans on how to avoid them much as possible. I look outside and glad to see the weather was nice today. I decided to grab a book and make a day of it outside. I make my way out.
"Don't go too far out dear." Carlisle says.
I nod and continue out the door. My cell rings as I'm heading out. I'm shocked as I see Angie's picture.
"Um hello?"
"Hey…"
I swallow back and the urge to cry hits.
"Um hey."
"Look think we could get together tomorrow sometime?"
"That depends are you still pissy?"
She laughs.
"I deserve that one."
"Yep… but in all fairness I shouldn't have called you a bitch."
"Ugh I'm so sorry I hit you. But you were right I was being a bitch. Life sucks without you Bells. We'd never fought before I can't believe…"
"It's ok Angie let's just let it go ok."
"Cool. So dinner tomorrow maybe a movie my treat?"
"It's a date."
"Cool I'll pick you up around 4 or 5 we'll get out of Forks a bit."
"Ok Angie."
"Later Bella."
I sigh in relief thankful that one issue is out of the way. She was right we'd never fought before and we've been best friends since elementary. I lean back in thought and open my book only to close it shortly after. My heart starts to race as I look upon the reflection in the pond across from me. I lift my head up seeing he's now gone. I close my eyes trying to calm myself down. I stand up and start to circle the pond curiously looking around whilst keeping my hand near the blade Jasper gave me.
I hear the leaves crackle behind me and I fling out my blade and turn to see I've it against Emmett's throat. I gasp out and throw the blade down.
"EM!" I cover my mouth.
He looks around and puts a finger to his lips sniffing the air. I nod but felt terrible I'd done that.
"Head inside baby girl." He says and grabs the knife handing it back to me.
"Are you ok?" I say looking at his neck.
He nods.
"Go…" I nod and rush back towards the house.
I realize I forgot my book but decide to wait until Emmett gets back inside.
"You ok darlin'?"
"Can you go make sure Em's ok?"
Jasper narrows his eyes.
"Of course."
"Thank you."
Edward and Carlisle look to me oddly.
"Did something happen?" Carlisle asks.
"I'm not sure anymore. I don't know what's real or not anymore Carlisle."
He nods and makes his way over to me.
"Edward you go with Jasper."
Carlisle checks me over as if I'm physically hurt.
"What did you see Bella?"
"Him…"
Carlisle nods and takes my hand leading me to his office. I think I've only been in here a total of two times since he's taken me in.
He shows me the picture of him and the Volturi.
"Is this him?"
I nod and wonder why he hadn't asked and pointed him out before.
"Interesting." Carlisle says shaking his head.
He sighs and continues to look at the picture as if everything will be answered by looking upon it.
"Carlisle?"
"Yes hun?"
"So you know him?"
"Yes I'm afraid so."
"Do you know why?" I hint.
"I'm clueless. This isn't just doesn't make sense."
He rubs his face a bit.
"Perhaps it is time I meet with them yet again."
Something about that unnerves me.
"I will handle this I will send Aro a letter and formally pay a visit as soon as they allow one Bella hun."
"Aro?" He nods and points to the center vampire.
"Him…"
"They wouldn't harm you would they?"
I turn to hear Emmett clearing his throat. Something comes over me and I run up and hug him.
His arms wrap around me.
"What's this baby girl?"
"I'm just glad you're ok. Are Jasper and Edward back?"
"Yes Bells."
"I'm so sorry Emmett."
"It's ok I'm glad you did that actually proves I've taught you something."
"And what did she do exactly?" Carlisle asks curiously.
"She put a knife to my throat." He says as if no big deal.
Carlisle's eyes widen.
"You did what?"
Emmett laughs.
"She thought I was someone else."
Emmett drops his hands and makes his way to the picture.
"So this is baby girl's stalker?"
Carlisle sighs.
"We all seem to believe so."
"Caius huh?" Emmett says.
"Yes but I'm handling it. I'm sending a formal letter today and I will meet with Aro the next available time he has for me."
"Emmett did you grab my book?"
"No I didn't see a book."
"Yeah I left it by the tree."
"I'll go get it." Edward calls out.
"Thanks."
"Bells isn't imagining things Carlisle. This time I smelt him as well. Faint but definitely there."
Carlisle nods.
I make my way out of Carlisle's office feeling very thirsty all a sudden and my hands were shaking. I rush over to the fridge and reach over for a water but knock down one of the glass bottles of soda as I pull out the water.
"Damn it."
I reach over and start to pick up the pieces and naturally cut my thumb. I look up and see Jasper standing before me and the blood is dripping from my thumb to the floor and his eyes are black.
"Jazz…" I say softly and step back away from him.
He grips the counter eyeing me.
"No Jazz." I remind as he starts to step towards me sniffing the air.
I feel a set of hands wrap around me.
"Carlisle!" Edward yells as he pulls me behind him.
Carlisle takes Jaspers by the arm and leads him outside.
Edward looks me over while Emmett cleans up the glass and blood. Edward leads me upstairs to the bathroom and starts to fix my thumb up.
"Hey you ok there?" He asks as I start to feel dizzy from the blood.
He laughs a bit.
"You queasy girl you."
I nod but am still concerned about Jasper. He's going to hate himself I just know it but he's newest to this of the Cullen's it wasn't his fault.
"Edward?"
"Yes princess?"
I wanted to ask about why they didn't like Paul but the room started to spin on me.
"I don't feel so good."
He nods and lays me down on the counter and I hear him wetting down a wash rag. He lays it on my forehead.
"Jasper?"
"He's going to be ok princess."
"But he won't…" I say.
Edward takes my hand as we wait for my stupid nerves to come to again. I hate feeling like a weakling. Here I am with a bunch of vampires and I want to faint at the sight of blood?
"All cleaned up." Emmett says as he comes in.
"You ok there baby girl?"
"She saw the blood." Edward explains.
Emmett laughs.
"Shut up." They know how I am around things like that ugh making this far worse.
I raise up.
"Is Jazz still outside?"
"No he's on the couch. Carlisle took him to hunt right after…" I nod and jump down from the counter.
"Easy Bells gee." Emmett says as I wobble a bit.
Edward puts an arm around me as we come down the stairs. Jazz doesn't even look at me.
"Jazz…" I say softly and cautiously make my way over.
His eyes are back to gold.
"It's ok Jazzy…" He knows I only use Jazzy to get my way about something but this time I wanted him to know I wasn't mad or frightened by him.
I sit in his lap and wrap his arms around my waist.
"See everything's ok."
He sighs shaking his head.
"No it's not darlin'…"
"Please don't."
"She's right son. Everything's fine nothing happened."
"But it could have. I'm so sorry."
"Jazz please stop that."

All I can think about is kissing her laying her down on this couch having my way with her. Yet minutes ago I wanted to drink of her blood it smelt so sweet. I've smelt of her blood before but something today snapped in me. I wanted to taste her so fucking bad. It's kind of the way it is when she's in heat so to speak. We all have to be careful on those days. Not that we ever embarrass her by discussing that but even Carlisle knows to watch us closely on those days. But the first few times it was hard on us because we weren't use to being around teenage girls to that point of closeness and living with them. Emmett is the tamer of Edward and I about her blood. It doesn't seem to faze him as much it's like how Carlisle is.
I can't believe this I'm so ashamed. What the hell has come over me I've never reacted to her like that before? I'm so fucking pissed with myself I don't even feel I've the right to have my filthy hands around her, her sitting in my lap and I certainly don't deserve her sympathy. She should be mad at me!
"Your book wasn't outside by the way Bella."
"But I put it right there it was by the tree where I left it."
"Not there now princess I looked all around that pond."
I shake my head on this. What did the bastard want a souvenir? How long before he just takes off with our Bella? I clinch my jaw at the thought. I kiss her forehead and gently place her down on the couch. I give her a wink just for her but I was still mad at myself and now I wanted to kill me a king.

"I'll get you a new Jane Austen Book princess." Edward says.
I nod but wasn't sure what to think. Finally I remember I'm still mad at them all but through everything going on I'd forgotten I was.
"Can I ask you all something and you be honest?"
All three boys look to me.
"Why did you follow me last night and why do you all hate Paul?"
"I told you baby girl last night was my doing my idea."
"But that doesn't even sound like you."
"It isn't Bells and I'm sorry it's just."
Carlisle comes in at that point his arms crossed and he's looking to the boys then to me.
"They were wrong to have followed you last night. But their reasons were that of protection I'm sure."
"Protection from Paul?"
"I think if you continue to date this guy you should make sure he's being honest to you about everything."
"Oh come on Carlisle just tell her." Edward snaps.
"This is between Paul and her. You boys must understand why we can't talk about certain things."
"The hell with that this is our Bella if we already know who she's really dating shouldn't she?" Emmett says.
"Emmett…" Carlisle says shaking his head.
Jasper sighs and looks to Carlisle.
"I'm sorry Carlisle…" He says but then turns to me.
"Darlin' your boyfriend is a wolf aka shifter."
