Fuzzy Fairy Tail - Chapter Ten
"Bella! Wake up." I felt something warm on my face.
"Aw, let her sleep. We're just gonna have the meeting without her anyway."
"No, we're not! I want dirt on those bloodsuckers." I groaned and rubbed my eyes, begrudgingly waking up. The pack was standing around Emily and Sam's living room, and somehow, I was on the couch. They all filled the small house with their massive forms. Emily was cooking in the kitchen, no doubt enough to feed this small army. I sat up and saw Jacob sitting on the arm of the couch behind me. He was clearly the one that tried to wake me.
"Alright. Now that we're all here and awake," snickers rippled through the pack as Sam spoke. Leah glared at me. "Jacob has some news for us." Jacob stood up and was a commanding presence. All eyes turned to him, and all chatter stopped.
"The future-telling leech called Bella tonight." Growls erupted from the crowd. "I spoke with her and set up a meeting for tomorrow at dusk at the boundary line. All she knows is that it involves the bloodsucker I killed," I glared at him, but cheers rang from everyone except for Seth. "and the treaty. She can't see the future if it involves us so we have the upper hand." He finished his dialogue to smiling faces except for me and Seth, but everyone was ignoring us. Seth had always been a friend to the Cullens as much as I had.
"Since they don't have that mind reading leech anymore, it's makes things more dangerous for us," Sam took the floor. Everyone except Jacob looked at each other puzzled. I studied Jacob's face intently. He apparently was in on it. "They won't be able to hear our thoughts when we're phased so I'll have to be in human form to talk with them." Gasps rose from the pack. From the kitchen, Emily dropped something. I could only imagine how she felt hearing this.
"You can't do that, Sam! They'll murder you!" Jared exclaimed.
"That's why Paul will be next to me to give me a chance to phase should things go sour." Sam was confident in his plan. I started shaking in panic. Jacob noticed and sat on the couch next to me, taking my hand. "Now, Bella," I looked up as Sam said my name. "We need some information on the Cullens."
"Oh." I look at my feet.
"It's okay, Bells, take your time," Jake patted my hand and kissed my hair. Could I really betray those that were there for me for so long? They took me into their home, gave me gifts, and treated me like family. I looked at Jacob. He was my world now, but could I leave the other world behind? It was clear that they couldn't live in harmony. They were all staring at me now. Could I leave them hanging, though? I didn't have a choice any more. I hoped Alice would forgive me.
"You already know about Alice. She can see the future." I sighed, disgusted with myself. They stared at me looking for more information. "It's only when a decision is made, though." I remembered the explanation Edward offered once. "Whenever a decision changes, the future changes." Some people looked confused. Some, however, looked in awe. I sighed again.
"Go on, Bella," Sam pushed.
"Jasper can alter people's emotions. He'll probably be trying to keep the meeting calm." Growls erupted from Paul and Jared. "Now that Edward is gone, I guess Jasper is the fastest." Sam nodded, approving of this information. "Emmett is the strongest." I felt horrible doing this. It must have been written all over my face because Jacob squeezed my hand then.
"Is that it?" Sam implored. I didn't want to give them every little detail. They didn't need to know that Esme was the weakest because then they would target her. They only needed to know what would protect them.
"Rosalie is really aggressive." I added. "I know Carlisle will want a peaceful solution. I hope you all can find one." I scowled. Some laughter rippled through the pack. I couldn't believe they wanted this war. It made me so uneasy.
"Thank you, Bella, You've been very helpful." Sam nodded at Jacob.
"Come on, Bella, I'm gonna take you home. It's getting late."
"Oh. Are you sure you don't need me anymore?" I was praying they didn't.
"Bella, you've been a great help. Get some sleep," Sam responded.
"Okay," I whispered. Jacob pulled me off the couch, and we walked out of Sam and Emily's house, leaving the pack discussing tomorrow's meeting.
"Let's take the Rabbit back," he said, leading me to his house. "How are you holding up?"
"I'm okay," I lied, scuffing my feet as we walked.
"Don't lie to me, Bella Swan." He put his arm around my waist. I started crying.
"I just feel so torn. I love you, but they're my friends. I feel like I betrayed them."
"Oh, Bella. What you told us may help us stay alive. Now we know how to protect ourselves and you. Think of it this way, Seth would get killed if he had to face off against Emmett." He kissed the corner of my eye where the tears were escaping.
"I didn't realize that." I felt better after he explained it that way. If what I told them could keep Jacob and his pack alive and with me, it wasn't so bad. The Cullens could forgive me for that. We were at his car now, and he opened the door for me. He walked around and got in on his side. He started the car and was driving to my house. I looked at the clock on the dashboard.
"Christ! It's three thirty in the morning." I didn't realize how late it was. Charlie would kill me if he found out.
"Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, Bells. We're almost there," Jacob cooed comfortingly.
Jacob parked a bit of a distance from my house so Charlie wouldn't see the car if he woke up. We walked up to my house.
"I'll meet you up there, Bells." He kissed me on the top of my head. I used the spare key and unlocked the door. I quietly opened the door and snuck upstairs, tiptoeing the whole way. Jacob was already on my bed when I entered my room. I walked over and plopped on the bed next to him. He wrapped his arms around me.
"You know I'm going to that meeting tomorrow, right?" I turned to look at him. His eyes went wide, and he propped himself up on his elbow.
"No, absolutely not. Out of the question." He was vehemently against the idea. I needed to outsmart him.
"But if you leave me here alone, Alice will see, and she'll come for me. And you can't leave anyone out of the fight." My response was airtight. He furrowed his brow and starred at me. A shudder racked his body.
"Goddamn it, Bella! Fine, but you're staying where we tell you." He was firm in his direction.
"Deal." I kissed him on the lips and curled into his warm arms.
"Go to sleep now, Bells. You've had a long day." He kissed the top of my head.
"I don't want to," I said as I yawned.
"Liar," he laughed. I started drifting to sleep as he was humming softly. The last feeling I had was Jacob's strong arms wrapped around me.
