"how do you lose a nine-year-old girl!" Charlie yelled trough the phone. He was going to cut someone. His daughter was unstable. She needed to be watched at all times and now the guards lose her when she went to the bathroom. He could hear harry yelling at the other guards to clean up the blood and check everywhere.
This was ridiculous. Charlie didn't have time for goose chases, he had a shipment of diamonds, gold and ruby's to deliver to Amun. One of his most loyal cliental but under the shipment of jewels were weapons. Amun was also involved in the business and one of their most trusted men. Besided, his youngest daughter was supposed to be sedated. Always sedated.
Another incoming call sounded, Charlie switched over and waited.
"Mr. Cullen, its quill."
"Quil? What do you want? Your not on my security team, Billy's not here."Charlie said agitated
"I understand that sir. I just wanted to tell you that I found Isabella. She's asleep and I don't think waking her is the best thing right now."
"you found her good. Now I gotta go. Tell my security to call he search."
With that said, Charlie went back to work. He could worry about his… psychotic daughter, speaking of daughters. Charlie quickly called Victoria.
Quill couldn't believe his eyes. Sitting at the black's kitchen table beside Jacob was Isabella Cullen. She was watching him prick his finger. quill put his gun in his holster and opened the refrigerator to take out the precut mango's. They were Jacob's favorite snack.
"Ms. Isabella. Would you like a mango?"
The girl looked at Jacob who was chowing down on his mango and nodded.
After they were done, Jacob looked at quill and asked "..Can we go I the living room and …watch a movie?"
Quill hesitated. From what he was told, Isabella was unstable. Normally she was sedated and asleep by now. personally, quill didn't agree with Charlie Cullen's method of having his daughter sedated twenty four seven. She was sickeningly frail, her hair was matted and from the way she ate that mango, he could tell it had been the only solid food she had in a long time.
"..yeah. go ahead. Im going to get you guys some food. Pizza sound good?" he asked
Jacob smiled like the someone handed him a million dollars. "cheese please. No meat."
Quill chuckled, that rights Jacob was a vegetarian. Strict one at that. he knew the diabetes played a part in that.
"alright, one cheese pizza and one pepperoni."
"Arigato quill san!" Jacob cheered as he grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her towards the living room. Form what Jacob told him. He had ever had a tv or even watched it. His mother hadn't been into it.
She had been extremely strict …for a drug addict but she did raise a polite son who knew his manners, even if he did speak most of them in Japanese.
Quill smiled and ordered the pizza.
Jacob looked on the pay per view menu. Toy story was playing. What was toy story? Without thought he clicked on the movie and leaned in next to Isabella or bells as he nicknamed her. She had been quiet since they left the kitchen but the look on her face said it was a happy quiet. Jacob secured the blanket around them. The air conditioner was on and it made the room very cold.
"..Are you ok bells? I can change the movie?" Jacob asked softly
"huh? No. no. I like toy story…Jake. Hey? You said your name was Kaito Jacob? you have two first names?"
"huh oh no, my first name is kaito its Japanese because I'm Japanese But Jacob is my middle name." he told her
"oooh!... I want a Japanese name." she said quietly
"Masami." Jacob said to her "it means ..elegant beauty but I like bells better. My friend bells."
Bella eyes went huge. "were friends?"
"yes were friends….Watashi no yujin . it means "my friend." " Jacob spoke
Bella smiled and said " Mio Amico! …That's "my friend" in Italian."
Jacob smiled
"baldovino…it means brave friend in Italian." Bella told him
The Two children stared at each other; It was the first time either of them had truly found a friend. A true friend.
It was ten o'clock when the whole family came home. It was very rare for them to be home so early. Rachel and Rebecca had finished up their meetings for the day, sue had finished with her women's club while Billy signed off on the last of important documents and getting rid of some bodies on the way while, Sam, embry and Jared came stomping in hungry and tired. Leah rolled her eyes at her sisters in law. She couldn't stand them sometimes. The smell of pizza greeted their noses.
"Pizza? On a weekday? What the heck is going on? I knew I smelled something good!" Emmet Cullen yelled as he ran into the black's kitchen with Edward, jasper, Rosalie and Alice following behind him.
"As much as I love you all why are you in my kitchen?" sue asked as the men raided the cabinets for plates.
"food… and we have a meeting in about an hour. Might as well eat. Who ordered the pizza?" Carsile asked as he and Charlie appeared with Laurent and Victoria following after them.
"I did sir."
Everyone in the room quickly turned and drew a gun on the voice. It was quill. Had he been there the whole time.
"Dammit quill! You better than to scare us! The hell are you still doing here anyway!" Billy yelled at his bodyguard. He had had a long day and there were circles under his eyes
"ssshh." Quill said as he put his finger on his lips and motioned for Billy to follow him
"DID YOU JUST SSSH ME!" Billy yelled at the top of his lungs
Quill rolled his eyes and once again motioned for Billy to follow him.
"I have something to show you. It concerns Jacob and Isabella." Quill said as he looked at Charlie.
Quill knew Billy was going to beat him for disrespecting him, but he needed the two fathers to see this.
"Isabella? Why the hell is she not in bed! What it going on? And why are you even around her! she's not your priority!" Charlie hissed. "Where's harry?"
"I assure you Mr. Cullen your daughter is safe, we just want you to see this."
Billy sighed. "Show me already so I can beat you."
What quill showed them next had their mouths drop. Sitting on the floor next to her bodyguard harry was his Bella. Her head was in Jacob's lap as they played Uno.
"jakes going to beat you harry! He has a red card!" Bella cheered.
"SSSh! Bells! You're not supposed to tell him." Jacob groaned
Charlie quickly pulled quill back into the kitchen were all the men were eating. The women had long gone to bed. Not caring what was going on as long as it didn't affect them.
"What is going on? Why is she not in her room! She stays in her room! Now ill have to call Aro! At this late hour to sedate her! " Charlie fumed as he punched quill straight in the face.
Quill stood his ground and didn't move. He had done nothing wrong. Keeping that little girl locked up was not right.
Before anyone could respond the sound of feet and giggles sounded into the kitchen.
"Come on harry! We have to make the hot coco! Can we have marshmallows! Oh! Wait! Jake can't have fake sugar! Its fake sugar right Jake?"
Laurent gagged on his pizza. He couldn't believe his eyes. His little sister awake and ..talking a lot. What?
The two children were so caught up in their conversation, they didn't know they had an audience.
"no, its not fake sugar bells. It's just…sugar. so, in my body I don't have enough sugar. And if I don't get a certain amount, I get really sleepy and sick. "
"oooh! Ok well harry can we have- "Bella stopped once she realized they were not alone.
Jacob realized it too and smiled a big smile when he saw his father.
"Otosan! your home."
"I am home Jacob and you should be in bed." Billy said sternly but, on the inside, he was glad his son was happy to see him.
Jacob's shoulders slumped. "I wanted… to see you before I went to sleep…."
Billy heart softened. His son was so innocent. None of his other sons had waited up for him. They all knew of the family business and what he did. Jacob didn't and Billy would keep it that way for as long as he could.
"I'm.…glad you had a good day. I see you've met Isabella." Billy said as he dug for information
"oh yeah she- "
"DAAAAAD!" a shrill voice yelled. It was Rebecca. Billy's eldest daughter.
"hey hey. There no need to yell? What is it.?"
"Someone was digging through my underwear drawer! And my pads are gone! We have a thief!"
"I am not a thief! Bells needed it!" jacob defended.
"What?you little bastard going through my things!" Rebecca yelled
Billy wolf whistled causing everyone to cover their ears.
"lets get down to the bottom of this. Jacob why were you in your sisters' room?"
This time Jacob stood to his full height and looked his father in the eye.
"Bells was bleeding. She needed help and there were no girls in the house. And the guards were scaring her. I got her out the bathroom and then took some pants, underwear and pads for bells. I did not steal. Is not stealing if someone is in danger. I borrowed"
The room was silent. Charlie's face was red as a tomato. His nine-year-old daughter had started her period and a ten year old boy had to help her through it.
Billy groaned and rubbed his face. "uuuh, I, alright. Everyone who doesn't live here, get out. Its time for bed." He said as he motioned for Jacob to follow him. However, Jacob turned and went towards bella, who know looked ghostly pale.
"..night bells." He whispered
"night jake." She said as Harry guided her back towards her bedroom.
