10. Unexpected arrival and why her?

J.P.O.V

We had just arrived home from a long and tiring day at school when it happened – when they happened. I mean I know that you are always told to expect the unexpected, but I was sure that no one could have ever foreseen this…

*Bang, bang, bang*

"Ugh where is that awful nose coming from?" Rosalie exclaimed in disgust, her mouth set in a hard line as she called for Arturo, the butler to go and see what all the commotion was about, she had a headache and the noise wasn't helping. He silently shuffled off with an obedient reply of "yes my lady."

Poor guy. It was obvious Rose was having an off day…perhaps it was that time of the month again? I shuddered, banishing the thought from my head.

Minutes later arguing could be heard from the main hallway and Arturo had yet to return. I sighed placing the bookmark back into my book – a book of war poetry – and pulled myself up from the sofa, Emmett and Edward standing behind me, following my lead.

It was our duty to sort this out and look after the ladies of the house, we knew this well. Stepping into the hallway with Emmett and Edward stood securely beside me; we gazed ahead of us to see five tall and well built boys though I was sure they could be no older than Emmett.

What on earth were they here for, I wondered curiously scrutinising every face, every detail. Each one had dark hair cut in the latest styles, dark skin – tans that would put even Rosalie's to shame – and plenty of muscle, their faces chiselled and well built –faces that showed no childish roundness, no sign of their true ages. Their eyes seemed dark and masked with anger.

It was at this point that they noticed our presence and they were quick to bow in respect (though if I was being honest I hated this custom and would much rather we were treated as normal people) giving a brief greeting of "Your majesties."

Edward didn't seem to like their act and instead of giving a gentlemanly reply he demanded to know who they were exactly and did they know that they were on private land and that he could have them taken away in mere seconds.

Emmett swiftly followed Edward's lead and added his own warning threat of "You have 5 seconds to explain yourselves, take any longer and well let's just say it wouldn't be pretty."

I would have laughed in any other situation, but I didn't think this was the time or place and so I held it in, opting instead for a simple glare in their direction – I hoped that I looked menacing enough, an angry tiger rather than a scared kitten.

It seemed to work and within seconds, the tallest kid – most likely the oldest, the leader began to speak, his voice deep and throaty though it wavered slightly in…uncertainty?

"Wait a second, your majesties have it all wrong, weren't you told?" He asked in confusion his brow furrowing, mouth turned down in a grimace.

"Told what exactly?" Edward asked impatiently, running a hand through his bronze locks, a habit I had learned. I stared at the leader of the group as did Emmett and Edward –we were waiting for an answer.

At this point he turned towards the other boys a thoughtful expression on his face as they whispered to each other – huddled in making it impossible for their conversation to be heard.

They finally to face us, their faces in similar masks of indifference – devoid of any emotion – I wondered once again who they were and was about to ask for their answer – I was loosing my patience – when the leader spoke once again.

"My brothers and I are confused as to why you were not warned before hand however we have decided it is time you knew. I would like to introduce myself and my brothers, and apologise for the confusion. You see your majesties…we are now in your service."

"We are your new bodyguards."

E.P.O.V

It was the morning after the bombshell had been dropped upon us – shortly after we had been told I had tried to pry more information from our "body guards" but Alice had intervened suggesting that perhaps a good night's sleep would do us all good and help clear our heads.

Jasper was never one to say no to Alice and so he had agreed, starting a chain reaction – and so we all retired for the evening, our five body guards taking the guest rooms, insisting that they would need to be with us 24/7.

Breakfast this morning was an interesting event, I had arrived to find the "body guards" already waiting, piles of food stacked in front of them, as they shovelled the food down – seemingly forgetting they were in the presence of gentleman, it didn't seem to phase them however as they ate like mongrels much to our disgust.

I had held in my remarks, Rosalie however did not hold back – she had before seemed angelically kind and friendly, though it seemed these boys brought out the worst in her, or as she called it her 'dark side' the one her parents had tried to reign in and hide so many times.

"It's nice to see that you were taught to use your…extremely unusual yet…charming manners however if we could cut the dog impressions and skip to the business I'm sure we would all be highly grateful." Rosalie remarked sarcastically through tight lips, holding – more like crushing – her napkin in her right hand for dear life.

"No problem my lady, in fact we were just about to suggest the very same thing…" Rosalie glared at the leader – obviously his charm wasn't working and so he continued hurriedly.

"We shall start by introducing ourselves. My name is Sam and I am 14 years of age, assigned to protect Lord Emmett."

The boy seated closest to Sam then followed his lead and began to speak, though his voice was not as strong or as deep.

"My name is Paul and I have been assigned to Prince Jasper, I am currently 13 though I will turn 14 soon."

It followed in a pattern, and soon almost every boy had had his turn.

"My name is Seth and I have been assigned to solely protect Prince Edward, I am 13 years of age."

"My name is Jared and I have been assigned to look after Lady Alice, I have just turned 12 recently."

I was pleased that they had finally given some answers though I couldn't help but notice that the one boy – the most well built one – had yet to speak. I thought of asking but Rosalie beat me to it.

"And I assume you have been assigned to me, correct? Ugh like I need a dog following me around everywhere..." She trailed off, moaning quietly to herself.

"Actually" the boy spoke, his voice sounding arrogant; filled with a little too much confidence for my liking. "You do not have a body guard Lady Blonde; you see we assumed you already had once, though of course we could always call upon Leah…"

He chuckled to himself as the other boys groaned; Rosalie merely glared angrily – no doubt at the nickname Lady Blonde…Whilst I wondered absentmindedly what was so bad about this Leah.

"The cheek" Rosalie scoffed, "Of course I would like a protector, I find it unfair of you to judge me, and hope that you will send for this Leah right away!"

"As you wish malady." Seth spoke kindly; he seemed a good kid I suppose.

I couldn't help but look back at the mystery boy once again however, if Rosalie would have this Leah girl then who was he to protect, perhaps he was simply here for good measure, to make sure nothing went wrong?

The answer came however a few minutes later when he spoke again, his voice as arrogant as ever. I had a feeling I was not going to enjoy having this boy around…

"I guess it's my turn now right?" The boy grinned cockily, "Well if you were wondering, my name is Jacob and I am 13 and I will have the important job of protecting none other than the lovely…Princess Isabella."
