QueenVamp- Alright, new chapter here it is. I'm putting I giant bandage on the last chapter!
"Bella," Edward snapped his fingers, calling me out of my longing gaze out the window.
"Hmm?" I said still watching the line of trees hoping to see a big silver wolf with emerald green eyes looming around.
"The bell just rang, it's time for biology." I stood from our table near the window and gathered my books which Edward offered to carry, but I told him that was too cliché and stalked off.
I wasn't happy with Edward or myself or the rest of the vampire vs. werewolf thing, but finally I declared that I hated everything and wanted to burn in the deepest pit the devil would give me.
Times like these I loved that Edward couldn't hear my thoughts, he would already be stalking off to La Push to 'talk' to Paul and I'd have to break the treaty because I would simply kill him. And that would just make my life twenty times more difficult.
I spotted Brady and Collin, they'd been forced to keep their distance lately, down the hall and smiled at them they smiled too and started over, and then they're eyes got wide and fear full. I turned to see what could possibly scare them and then I saw it –them- the marble skinned, butterscotch eyed Cold Ones. Otherwise formally known as my future family.
Rosalie had her hand on her hip and was give the boys her best death glare –not that we were friends now, she just hated the boys- and Edward mimicked it with a low throaty snarl he thought I wouldn't be able to hear. Alice had her nose scrunched slightly and Jasper looked murderous. Emmett, however, had a passive look on his face, looking around trying to find something interesting to do.
I rolled my eyes and started to walk toward them, but Edward grabbed my arm and jerked me back into place. My head whipped around and my glare met his jaw as his eyes were still firmly set on the boys –my boys.
"Bella I don't want you near them."
I tried to conceal my snarl, but my inner wolf would have that, it rumbled in my chest and I all but bared my teeth. Edward looked down at me, eyebrows raised in confusion and a look of utter shock plastered on his face.
When I looked back Brady was on his cell phone and Collin was listening in, slowly they started to retreat back into the boys' bathroom and I found myself being tugged along to my next class.
Edward was muttering things about the phone call, about Victoria and newborns and the treaty line he thought I couldn't hear and once class settled in I raised my hand.
"Yes, Ms. Swan?"
"May I use the rest room?" He nodded and I bolted out of their before Edward could protest or nod for Rosalie to follow me.
Sprinting down the hallway and entered the boys' bathroom –praying that no one was in there beside Brady and Collin. Luck me, Brady and Collin were the only feet I saw. "What's going on?" I asked. Collin opened the door and pulled me in and Brady hovered over the phone.
"Jacob, we got Bella." He informed.
"Good, we smelled Victoria on the border, Charlie's still in the safe house, but we need you guys up here pronto."
"We'll be there." I informed and Brady turned off the phone.
"So how we going to get out?" Collin asked. I opened the stall door and walked over to the window.
"We're on the second floor, but the gyms right under it, so if we jump I'll bet we can climb down the fire escape." I suggested.
~X~X~X~
Ten minutes later we where jogging through the woods in wolf form on high alert.
Edward would be worried and Alice would go ballistic, but I didn't really care right now. The Pack –my true family- was in trouble and I needed to help.
Where my loyalty laid the most, I wasn't quite sure, but now my complete attention was set on the Pack and Victoria.
Passing through the invisible barrier I suddenly felt my Cullen troubles disintegrate and my unholy engagement was lifted from my shoulders. Paul filled my mind now, making things difficult, again.
Emily's house came into view and I halted to a stop and kicked up dirt at the newbie's who were guarding the door.
What's going on? A large gray one asked.
Brady, Collin what is the leech lover doing here? The other asked. I snapped my jaws at him and he hopped back a few steps.
"Bella," I turned my head to see Paul, in human form wearing a rare T-shirt and sneakers. He jerked his head towards the woods. "I need to talk to you."
There is no attack is there?
Nope! –Brady
It was Jacob's idea. –Collin added.
I trotted towards the woods and morphed back to human form, untying the clothes from my ankle I started to re-dress myself in my shorts and short sleeved T-shirt. It was practically torture to show this much skin around Edward, but I guess I was just daring him to do something to tick me off.
I exited the woods to see the newbie's retreat inside and Brady and Collin trot back towards school. Paul stood alone in the middle of the yard and I walked over.
"You know I snuck into the boys' bathroom and scaled the school wall, right?"
"I've done worse, sorry if-"
"Thank you! The Cullen's are suffocating me with affection." I looped arm with his and started for the trail the guys had made. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Emily in the window, ginning at me.
"So I'm not going to get yelled at?" Paul asked as we enter the forest.
"Well there will be yelling. You're going to hate me." I confessed.
"Bella I couldn't hate you, I can be mad, irritated, and fed up but never hate."
"Never say never." It was silent for a long time and with our fast walks we reached the cliff's edge in ten minutes tops. I stopped and looked up at Paul's unusually passive face.
"Are you going to tell me?" I looked down and saw this was the place where I'd thrown Leah off the cliff because she was an endangerment to my pups and Paul. The trees were still broken and a few footprints were still imprinted into the ground.
"After I was fighting with you you…I don't know I just got so mad that I…threw myself at Edward." Paul raised his eyebrows, but I continued. "I told him…him…I told him to marry me."
Paul was quiet and I could feel the tears stinging in my eyes with his silence.
"Please say something, I've been ripping into myself for the past few days because I was so stupid to have said that and…I don't want to marry him…! I want to live with the Pack and be with you, but I don't deserve you because I've been such a bitch all this time and teasing you and…and you just been so…patient about everything. I've put you through hell and yet you're standing here and not yelling at me! I need you to talk so will you please say-" I was cut off by Paul, when his hand grasped my wrist and he yanked me into his embrace.
My heart froze and Paul smoothed over my hair. "Bella…calm down."
"Can't, I'm hyperventilating." I murmured. Paul pulled away from me and I brushed the hair out of my eyes. "Aren't you going to yell? Phase? Something? I'll let you kick me around, get your anger out. I know you Paul your probably more pis-" Paul cut me off again, this time with his lips.
For a minute I was too shocked to do anything then I felt Paul start to pull away from me and I wrapped my fingers around the collar of his shirt, pulling him back to me. I slammed my lips against his in a harsh kiss, his was smirking that he'd finally gotten his way and I was very close to telling him to shut up.
Strong, long arms wrapped around my waist, pressing me against Paul's muscular chest, I could feel his heart beating rapidly. Unconsciously, my hands left the collar of his shirt and gripped Paul's shoulders, pulling him closer. Paul tilted his head and the kiss deepened and he started to lift me from the ground.
Suddenly I became aware that we were still very close to the cliffs edge. I broke the kiss and Paul groaned in response. I smirked knowingly and pulled him back into the woods, only to find myself up against a tree and attack with a hungry kiss.
His tongue went out the licked my lip, asking her for admission, when hesitated he bit down. I gasped in shock and Paul wasted no time slipping his tongue through my open lips.
I was starting to get light headed from the lack of oxygen and lightly dug my nails into Paul's arms, holding onto him, and causing him to groan in response. Paul pulled away a little and smiled at me, resting his forehead on mine.
"Bella…" His voice had gone somewhat back to normal, but was still huskier than usual. I listened, felling like I'd die if I didn't, whatever he had to say was important, even if it was something small. "I love you."
My eyes went wide and that didn't escape Paul's notice.
"Um…" I stopped him and kissed him once more.
"I love you too." I murmured against his lips.
