I am sorry that last chapter is so short. I just couldn't think of what to right. This chapter will be slightly different to the rest of the story so far. This chapter will be from Edward's Pov and is happening at the same times as Sirius' arrival at the Billy's house. Please read and review. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 10:The Request
Carlisle was sitting at the dining table reading a large newspaper. The photographs were moving and he seemed amazed. I told Carlisle and the others about Sirius. Carlisle seemed curious about him and asked me if I would introduce him to Sirius. I didn't think this was such a good idea. Sirius seemed reckless but he wasn't stupid, what if he found out what we were or any of us hurt him. No, he was safer not knowing our true identities. Carlisle was soon finished with the paper and passed it to me.
"You will find some of it useful, Edward. I wonder how wizards make their photographs move," Carlisle muttered thoughtfully. I grabbed the paper and thanked him. I turned towards my old bedroom.
The bedroom was the same as it had been when I first took Bella here. The shelves were filled with CD's and the black sofa was still here. I sat down and quietly read the paper. There was a women who was missing, Bertha Jenkins, who worked for the Ministry of Magic. It was the headline news. Apparently there were people from the Ministry trying to find her. Also mentioned in the newspaper often was the Quidditch World Cup. It mentioned that the final was in a weeks time. It would be Ireland vs Bulgaria. The Irish team were the favourites but many of the photos in the Quidditch section were of a sulky teenager. His name was Viktor Krum. I was busy flicking through the pages scanning for anything interesting. I almost missed a small advert in the massive newspaper. It was small compared to the others and was placed near the back of the paper in the corner of a page. If my heart was still beating it would be beating so fast. I wonder if Carlisle saw this advert. I sprinted down the stairs as fast as I could.
Jake had arrived back as soon as I arrived downstairs. He seemed a little guilty. I read his thoughts easily. He had told Sirius what we were. Sirius did promise not to tell anyone else.
"Jake do you remember the last time you broke the treaty. Why did you tell Sirius about us? He has been dreaming about us for weeks and you tell him about us. You are such an idiot," I growled.
"He is not scared and he knows you are safe. I also trust him to keep his promise. He won't tell or I will kill him promise." I could tell he was telling the truth, he looked so sincere.
"Jake have you seen Carlisle or the others?" I asked.
"They are outside watching the sunset." I ran straight out.
"Carlisle did you read every advert in the Daily Prophet," I asked. My voice was shaking.
"Why, is something troubling you Edward?" Carlisle asked, his eyes softening. Esme hugged me. Rosalie was staring at me, a look of confusion on her face. Emmett was hugging her tightly. Alice danced towards me, with Jasper following. Finally Bella and Renesmee walked to my side.
"Dad, what's wrong?" Renesmee asked.
"Guys, will you take a look at this advert." I pointed straight towards the small neatly written advert. All the vampire's eyes widened. Only Renesmee and Jacob looked amused. Jacob howled when he looked at the advert.
"Please can he come here. It would be so awesome to meet a werewolf from a different pack," he asked pleadingly.
"Shut up Jake. I don't think it would be such a good idea to let a complete stranger live with us. I mean, what if he revealed our true identities to the rest of Forks. The Volturi would kill us all. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?" Rosalie spoke venomously.
"Rosalie, from what Sirius was thinking, the wizarding community has to remain secret. They are not allowed to reveal themselves to the muggles unless they are in the danger. Lets just say that they understand the necessity of secrecy," I replied.
Jake kept on begging. Suddenly everyone agreed to have a vote on the matter.
"I don't think we should let him stay, I'm out," Rosalie answered.
"Rosalie, have you been watching Dragon's Den again?" Alice asked.
"Yes, and?"
"You are serious, right? I love Duncan, he is so awesome," Emmett added.
"Guys, I would like to discuss how awesome Dragon's Den is but, we are voting to decide if we should allow a stranger to stay. I think we should let them," Carlisle said.
"I agree with my husband, we should allow them to stay with us," Esme added.
"Who in their right mind would want to stay with a family of vampires and why?" Emmett asked.
"A werewolf wants to study vampires. He placed an advert in this newspaper in the hope that some one would reply and allow them to study them," Edward answered.
"Yeah, I wanna meet them," Emmett screamed.
"I agree with Rosalie but, guys I can't see the future. And no this is not because of Jacob or Nessie. I guess that means the werewolf will be coming." Alice said.
"I also agree with Alice and Rosalie. It is too dangerous. What if we attack them. No, I don't think they should stay." I answered. Jasper also agreed. However, Nessie and Jake agreed with Emmett, Esme and Carlisle. Bella was the deciding vote. If she said no, the werewolf would not come. If she said yes, he would.
"I'm sorry Edward, but, Alice says she can't see the future. She can only see the future with humans and vampires. This is a werewolf we are talking about. Because she can't see the future, He will be here. So I say he should come."
"Edward, I think you should contact this guy. There is a phone number in the advert. Phone him and tell him he is allowed to stay," Carlisle told me. I returned to the main house.
The house was eerily quiet as I went to pick up the phone. I dialled the number. The phone rung three times before I heard a reply.
"Hello, who is this?" a hoarse voice asked.
"My name is Edward Cullen, I am a vampire. Me and my family have seen the advert in the Daily Prophet. We would like you to stay and study us. We live in Forks in Washington state. You can get a plane to Seattle and then another plane to Port Angeles. Me and my family will meet you there."
"Thank you so much. Thank you." His voice broke with emotion.
"It's no problem. However, you have to promise not to tell anyone in Forks what we are."
"I promise. I am just booking a flight. The earliest flight I can get to Seattle is tomorrow. I hope you don't mind. Thank you so much for this opportunity, most people shun my kind." He started crying.
"We won't tell anyone what you are and you won't tell anyone what we are. Here is my phone number," I told him my phone number, "Phone me when you arrive in Port Angeles."
"Thank you." I hung up. I was looking forward to meeting this werewolf.
Thank you for reading. Please read and review. The next chapter will reveal who's advert it is and why Sirius is concerned. Please continue reading this story.
