Chapter Ten

Emmett's POV

"Someone slashed my tires." I told my mate. I looked around glaring at all the suspects, while surreptitiously sniffing the air. I caught a scent I didn't recognized and decided that they were the culprit. I dug my phone out of my pocket and spoke quickly to Jasper. He was the best at sorting these solutions, so I explained what I knew, turning back to Bella when I finished my conversation.

"Jasper is going to come with Rose. He's bringing a car for me to take you home and their going to sort the Jeep." I said.

"Who would have done this?" She asked with confusion in her voice. Part of my brain was caught on the sexiness she exuded when her voice took on that lilt, although she was sexy anytime she spoke or even moved.

"Well, definitely no-one from school. We Cullen's are feared." I told her with a sly grin.

"Sure, sure." She replied, dismissingly.

"I don't know who did it, but I will find out." I said honestly.

"How?"

"Let's just say, I have my ways." Before she could question me further, Jasper and Rose pulled next to us in the car park.

"I didn't believe you when you said all four tires." Rose exclaimed loud enough for Bella to hear and steal her attention, while Jasper spoke lowly to me.

"It's not a scent I recognize, but it's leading toward the exit by the tree line over there." I already knew that and nodded, making it look like I was directing my nod to Rose.

"Edward said if you mess up his Volvo he knows where you live." Jasper told me, amused. I just directed Bella into Edward's Volvo laughing, telling them it would be worth it to rattle his cool exterior.

Bella's POV

I got into the car and waited until we had pulled out of the car park to talk.

"Who would slash all four tires? Does someone have a grudge against you?" I asked calmly. It was better to think this was about him and not me. It couldn't be because of me, right? I mean, I know it was pretty stupid of me to come to my Dad's when running away, but I haven't been here that long.

"No. My family and I don't really speak to anyone long enough for them to get a grudge." He told me. It sent a shiver down my spine. It had to be me then, it had to be if it wasn't about him or his family. Someone obviously knew I was riding with him today, so that means someone is following me. Oh no, Bug! I thought. I quickly got my phone out and dialed my Dad's number.

"Hello?" He answered gruffly on the third ring.

"Hey Dad." I said trying to keep my voice sounding normal. "Did you get Bug?"

"Yeah got her now, you caught me just as I was about to start driving."

"Oh okay. Good."

"You okay Kiddo?" He asked worry only slightly evident in his voice.

"Yeah I'm fine." I took a deep breath. Maybe I was over reacting. Yeah that had to be it, I thought.

"Want to speak to her? I can drive then." He asked.

"Yeah that'll be great Dad." I told him. I heard a shuffle as he passed the phone.

"'llo."

"Hey there Bug. How was school?" I asked with a smile on my face.

"It was good Momma. I gots a picture for you. Grampa says we'n put it ups."

"Sure we can Bug. You can pick any place you want to put it up."

"I gots one for my Emmy Bear too Momma." My smile faltered and I looked over at the Bear in question. If I was crazy I'd actually think that he heard my conversation at the smirk that was on his face.

"That's good honey. Listen, I've got to go because Momma's almost home, but I'll see you in a little while okay?"

"Otay." I hung up and sighed. She was attached to Emmett after only one meeting and I hated it. My mind whirled for the rest of the journey and what I had to do now, if someone had come for me and Bug.

"You okay?" Emmett said as he stopped the car.

"Yeah." I said looking towards him. When I looked into his topaz I felt the need to unload everything, only I knew that wasn't possible. I couldn't tell anyone, so I got out the car telling him once again I was fine.

I said a quick goodbye as he went to get out of the car to follow and quickly closed the door. I ran to the house and swiftly got inside. I couldn't deal with being hospitably toward anyone right now and I needed to get my emotions under control before Bug and Dad got home.

I'd just finished making lasagna and was putting in the oven when the door opened and my two year shouted out. "Momma!"

"In here, Bug." She came barreling through with two pictures in her hands. She showed me one, stating that it was mine. It was of - who I could only assume was - my daughter holding a rabbit. I laughed and told her once again, within the last couple of weeks, that she could have a rabbit when she was a bit older. She grumbled, but then brightened as she showed me the next picture.

"Oh my god!" I snorted. "That's a very good picture, Bug. I'm sure Emmy Bear will love it."

"Can we gives it to him now?" She asked. I looked up as my Dad came through the door and I signaled that dinner would be a while, which prompted him to leave. I heard the television turn on in the living room and turned back to answer my daughter's question.

"We can't give it too him now, because dinner will be done soon." I thought about my answer and amended it. "We also don't know where he lives, so you'll have to wait to give it to him, okay?"

"Otay."

Once dinner was done we sat around the table in silence. I was grateful for the distractions as it meant I didn't have to focus on today's events, especially the possibility of someone finding me. The night went pretty quickly as my daughter was always a distraction, but I laid awake most of the night listing the pro and cons of telling my Dad everything. By morning I'd made my decision.

So what did you think? Was it a bit of a filler? Anyone want to guess what Emmy Bear's picture is? =D

By the way, does anybody have a opinion on whether Bug should go along to the slumber party? Let me know.

As always, I love to hear what you think soo - Review :D
