A/N: sorry, I just read through this, and found a few mistakes. So I edited it and fixed them. This is what I get for posting at 1 in the morning. :)
"Now if it won't bother you too much Rose, I'm going to go find her so I can apologize for everyone's behavior and beg for her forgiveness." He said with a look threatening Rosalie to challenge him
"I'll come with you." Jacob said. Emmett nodded over at Jacob and they both left the room of vampires who were all staring at the floor.
"Just so you know mutt, I'm not going slow for you." He said.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Jacob muttered before he phased into his wolf form.
They both ran full speed towards her house. Once they were there Emmett nodded at Jake to circle the property. Emmett then ran inside the house.
"Princess!" he yelled. The house was eerily silent. He quickly ran through thoroughly looking for her. He then exited the house and saw Jacob back in his human form.
"She's not here!" he yelled.
"Yeah her scent's nowhere in the vicinity." Jacob said.
"We gotta find her." he said with conviction.
"Way ahead of you." Jacob muttered as he ran off into the trees to phase.
He was frantically searching the woods for her scent. He had to find her. It was going to be dark soon and she would probably get cold. I'm going soft for a girl I don't even know, he thought. Well she is my imprint, and it's my duty to keep her happy and safe no matter what. Suddenly he caught a faint whiff of her scent. He hurriedly followed it and with a sigh of relief realized he had found her. They had been searching for at least an hour, and he was glad because that meant that she hadn't been alone for too long. As he got closer to her still form he panicked. But then he saw her chest rise and fall, whew she's not dead. He then retreated from her and howled to signal Emmett. He then phased to his human self.(AN: For sake of I really don't want to go into embarrassing nakedness, the wolves have figured out a way to carry clothing with them or stash it in multiple places, so Jacob can phase whenever and be wearing pants) He approached her, and gently lifted her into his arms. She didn't wake, just shifted into a comfortable position against him. He was smiling fondly down at her when Emmett arrived.
"What's wrong with her?" Emmett asked.
"I dunno. I found her asleep on the forest floor." He replied.
"We should take her to Carlisle, just in case." Emmett said.
"Is that really a good idea now?" he asked, brow arched.
"Yeah, it'll make them all really guilty. And she may be hurt, we're not gonna chance that." Emmett responded confidently. He had no idea how this was going to end up, but he did want to make sure that she was okay and not hurt. So grudgingly he followed Emmett back to the Cullen place.
Her head throbbed. She was trying to figure out what was going on. Once she remembered what had happened she almost groaned. Twice she had cried, and twice she had fallen asleep today. She wanted to crawl and hide because she never acted like this. She was never irresponsible and never was a whiny, crying girl. Oh what Emmett's family must think of her? She almost sighed because she didn't think that she'd ever be able to get over this. In her mind it was a criminal act. Girls aren't damsels needing saving, at least she wasn't. She started to try to configure her surroundings and once she figured them out she did groan. She was sitting on someone's lap, again. Without opening her eyes she knew it was him. She didn't even want to ponder what he must think of her. Quickly she opened her eyes and then she deftly got off of him and stood. She swayed a bit and he went to steady her.
"Don't" she told him, voice clipped and almost cold. It just popped out like that. The second she said it she felt regret for some reason.
"Well alright then." He replied with a small smile as if there was something he knew that she didn't. "Look, we keep ending up like this somehow. Not that I mind, but I feel like we should be on a first name basis or something. I'm not entirely sure what the proper etiquette is for this sort of thing, but I'd feel better knowing your name and not referring to you as her or Princess."
She looked shocked for a moment, and then said, "I appreciate you not wanting to call me Princess, and Merlin knows how many times I've tried to get him to stop."
"Merlin?" he interrupted.
"Really not important right now. Look, what happened today was really a one-time thing regardless that it happened twice in that same day; that is not happening ever again. But for the sake of I don't want another person calling me Princess my name is H- um Mione." She slipped up there for a moment because for some reason she felt compelled to tell him her real name. But that person was dead to her and Mione was who she was now.
"Well Mione I'm…" he started. Then Emmett interrupted,
"Yeah Jacob, we all know your name. Come on Princess I need to talk to you."
"Emmy Bear, in all of your existence haven't you learned any manners?" she asked sweetly, showing that she was annoyed with him. Jacob then scoffed.
"Of course I have. I just don't find them necessary with Casanova here." Emmett said with a smile.
"Look nice meeting you Jacob. Emmy Bear I believe we need to have a talk." And with that she dragged Emmett out of the room and into one that she knew would be empty; the kitchen. "What is your problem? Goodness, can I never not have an awkward moment with that boy?"
Emmett just smirked annoyingly, "Boy? Princess is that really an apt description?"
"We are not having this conversation right now Emmy Bear. Ugh, I need to go." She stated abruptly.
"Uh-uh we are talking right now, so get comfy." And with that he lifted her up to sit on the countertop. She just rolled her eyes at him and folded her legs under her. "I am not going to let others dictate my life." He had a serious look on his face.
"And I'm not going to let my mere presence become a rift for decades to come."
"Princess, do you ever do what you want?" he was exasperated he was exasperated at her answer.
"Emmy Bear," she started quietly, "I can't afford to think like that."
"Why not?" Emmett shouted.
"It doesn't matter." She replied softly.
"Why not, Princess? Why not?" Emmett all but screamed at her.
"It's not me." She said coolly.
"Stop being cryptic Mione!" he spat at her. She almost gasped, because he used her name. He never used her name.
"Emmett, 'For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something.'"
"You are talking in circles now." He said, still seething.
"You want it spelled out? Fine! I have never gotten anything I have ever wanted. I have lost everything! My home, my family, my friends, everything I ever had is gone. Everything I have ever wanted is gone. And it's all my fault. You know what I can't deal with this right now." And with that she hopped off the counter and fled out of the house, leaving everyone in it stunned.
Once she was away from that house, she apparated to hers. She walked into her room and pulled a box from the top of her closet. She pulled out a scrapbook and stared at its pages losing herself to the memories.
Jacob was upset. Emmett had interrupted them and then upset her.
"You have a lot of nerve." He stated as he walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah and I scared her away again." Emmett then slammed his fist onto the counter, cracking it. "I'm supposed to be her friend and just dang it"
"Yeah well she's my imprint and so far I'm messing that up too." He said trying to lighten the mood.
"Don't make me feel worse." Emmett groaned, putting his head into his hands.
"Well then how are you going to make this better?"
"He's going to do nothing. He's worthless when he comes to apologizing. Besides as this is my problem I'll deal with it." Rosalie appeared out of nowhere and said as if it was nothing. Everyone was gaping though because she never admitted her wrongdoings. "Close your mouths. I have a heart." She stated as she inspected her nails.
"No you don't Rosalie." Jacob stated Rosalie. Her eyes narrowed at his accusation.
"Fine you're right anyway. However I hold Emmett's so I'll just borrow his."
"How touching, that's got to be the sweetest thing I've ever heard you say." Jacob drawled out sarcastically.
"Watch it pup. I know it's uncharacteristic however really it's for more of my benefit."
"How so?" Emmett asked. She then smirked at him.
"Well if I ever want you to look at me again I guess I can play nice to the mortal." With that she nodded and then was gone.
She had been numbly staring at the pages when she heard the knock. So she put the book down and went for the door. She was shocked to see Rosalie there. Before she could say anything Rosalie stepped in.
"I'd make some small talk right now, but honestly that's not me and something tells me that you'd see through all the bull." Rosalie stated casually.
"Well then what do you want Rosalie." She was tired and didn't want to deal with anyone, especially Rosalie.
"Look I'm here to apologize for my behavior."
"You're apologizing?" she choked out.
"Honestly, why is everyone so surprised? And before you get excited I'm not doing this out of the goodness of my heart. Apparently Emmett values your friendship and I value Emmett so.." Rosalie trailed off then.
"So what does that mean exactly?" she didn't know Rosalie very well so she didn't want to assume anything with the woman. From what she had seen Rosalie could do anything really.
"It means that don't let me get in the way, oh noble one." Rosalie stated coolly.
"Are you still threatened by me?" she asked.
"I'll get back to you that." She just nodded and figured that that was the best answer she would get out of her.
"I know you don't know me and have no reason to trust me, but please don't be jealous. I don't see Emmett that way at all. And honestly even you should know that I am sensible. How sensible is a human and a vampire really?"
"Finally someone with common sense!" Rosalie all but shouted reminding her of when Emmett found faith in females again.
"What?" she was thoroughly confused.
"I see you haven't met Edward and Bella then."
"I saw Bella briefly, but I was, um well distracted to be honest." She said.
"Uh-huh. Yeah my idiot brother is convinced that a relationship with him and a human will work out." Rosalie stated.
"Well I guess it could, but it's really unlikely and quite stupid of him."
"I've changed my mind. I'm apologizing from the bottom of my black heart. Someone finally understands. Anyway not that I haven't liked chatting, I'm still undecided, but I'm gonna be going now."
"Well okay then Rosalie."
"This doesn't mean that we are friends." Rosalie shouted as she was walking away.
"Wouldn't dream of it." She said.
Rosalie sauntered back into the Cullen house.
"How'd it go?" Emmett asked.
"We're fine." Rosalie replied.
"Fine?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah, turns out the girl has more sense than I thought. Anyways I've cleaned up my mess so we're good now?" Rose directed the last part to Emmett, looking up at him expectedly.
"Yeah we're great." Emmett said softly before capturing Rosalie into his arms.
"Don't mind me." Jacob said rolling his eyes.
"Oh we don't." Rosalie stated between kisses.
"I know where I'm not wanted." Jacob started walking away, heading towards the front door.
"Yeah, why don't you go where you are?" Emmett stated pointedly, breaking away from Rose for a moment.
"I'm not that desperate you anomaly." Jacob stated.
"I'm just thinking of the benefits for you, she's alone; so no interruptions." Emmett said with a small grin.
"Dude, just a few hours ago you were ready to kill me for looking at her. Now you want me alone with her. Aren't you like her brother?" Jacob asked, curious for Emmett's reply.
"Yeah, but that was before I saw that she needed you." Emmett replied. "Why are you still here?" Emmett then motioned for him to leave with his hands. So Jacob left and hopped into the Rabbit heading towards Mione's house. He was going to capitalize on the opportunity Emmett had given him.
After Rosalie had left Mione felt like she was floating. Everything else had gone wrong, but at least for this moment she had Emmy Bear as a friend. She waltzed up to her room to shower. Lying on a forest floor was not a good look for her. She took a hot shower, letting the water wash away all of the stress of that day. She then got out and put on some clothes from the box. The box she had pulled down that day had all of her memories from England. She slipped into a pair of maroon sweats that had been Harry's and a Gryffindor sweater that had been Ron's . The pants were too long, so she rolled them up to try to make them fit better. There was nothing to be done about Ron's sweater though. It was huge, but she loved it all the same. She had kept some of their things because for a moment it felt like she was with them again. They didn't fit and she could really fix that with a spell, but she liked cuddling up inside of them. She threw a brush through her hair and put some socks on her feet. Then she went downstairs. It was late, probably around ten or so. She couldn't decide if she wanted to read or eat. She settled on grabbing an apple and plopping down into a downy chair with a good book. She then heard a knock on the door so she put the book down. She then took her first bite into the apple as she opened the door. She was startled when she saw Jacob there. She quickly chewed her bite and then asked,
"How can I help you?"
"Can I come in?" he asked. She just stepped aside and closed the door behind him. She then noticed him looking at her strangely. She wondered this for a moment and then nearly slapped herself. She was wearing Harry and Ron's Gryffindor sweats. She just mentally sighed; she really couldn't meet him in normal circumstances.
"I repeat, how can I help you?" she said as he had been silent since entering.
"Well I'm not entirely sure why I came by to be honest" Jacob answered with a small smile. She laughed softly.
"I appreciate your honesty Jacob." She then led him to her living room and she plopped down into the plush chair she had previously been sitting in. He then sat down across from her. "At this point I feel that every time we meet it is under unusual circumstances."
"Well I guess that puts it, politely." She just shook her head at him and continued eating her apple. "Boyfriends?" he asked.
"Hmm?" she said, still chewing.
"Your sweats, they your boyfriends." She lightly shook her head at his slightly jealous tone.
"Yup." If he wanted to make assumptions she would let him.
"Oh. What's his name?"
"Harry and Ronald."
"Ooh, you totally don't seem that type." he said with a grin.
"I'm not. You just assumed. They were my friends and they were boys, so yeah they are my boy friends."
"Well that was awkward. I'm sorry." He stated.
"You're fine. Just stop assuming things." She replied with a smile. "So what kind of animal can you shift into?" she asked.
"Excuse me?" he squeaked out.
"Well you are obviously a shape-shifter; I'm just not sure what you can shift into."
"I'm not sure I know what you are talking about?" he said coolly.
"And here I thought we enjoyed honesty. No matter, I can assume. I'm putting my bets on some sort of canine."
"Do I want to know why you're putting your bets there?"
"Probably not, but we are straying from the subject at hand Jacob."
"I think you're crazy." He stated in a choked voice.
"No you don't. Now to narrow it down. I'm going to have to say you're a wolf."
"That's almost uncanny." He finally choked out.
"Not really." She said with a wave of her hand.
"How did you know?" he asked faintly.
"I know much more than I'm given credit here." She said avoiding her question.
"Are you going to answer me?" he was slightly annoyed with her.
"Probably not."
