Last chapter heart crusher I know but don't fret Paul is always near her (he found a loop hole in what she said when she left, the smart devil). Oh and I'm making Renesmee 15. Constructive criticism always welcome.
Lily of the Valley
Chapter 11 Meeting the rest of the Cullen's
I cooked the pasta and alfredo in silence when I got home, while trying to block out everything that had happened. It crept into my mind even though I tried long and hard not to keep it at a safe distance. I thought about if it was only the imprint or if it was what we had before I'd left. Although I contradicted myself by saying it was eight years ago and that we were kids not adults.
The phone rang and I jumped at the sudden sound. I crept forward hoping it wasn't who I thought it would be.
"Hello?" I addressed the dead silence on the other line.
"Hey Lin I was wondering if I could talk to you about what happened at the hospital earlier. I kinda heard that you had a vision of like you know, things the Cullen's need to know." I heard Jacob say hesitantly on the other line.
"How would you know? You're not……….are you?" I asked in disbelief that Jacob would keep such a thing from me.
"Yeah all the guys are." He said sounding slightly ashamed.
"Then what do you want?" I asked leaning heavily against the wall the phone was hooked to.
"Well Edward is wondering if you could possibly come down to their home and maybe they could figure out who you saw." He explained.
"Yeah sure." I answered without giving a second thought, but knowing Paul would most likely be pissed off knowing I did this behind his back.
"Ok then I'll be over in a few." He replied hanging up the phone.
Jake did as he said and came over within the next few minutes with his Rabbit.
"Wow nice ride." I said sarcastically.
"I know it's perfect." He said not noticing I was totally playing.
"Ever break down on you?"
"Nope and I don't think it ever will, because it's got character and its character is to kind to break down on me." He joked pulling out of the drive with me in the passage seat.
"I'm guessing Paul doesn't know about this." Jake said after a while without talking.
"Why would he need to?"
"No reason." Jake replied nonchalantly.
"Is it possibly because he imprinted on me?" I asked looking out the window.
"Sorry."
"For what exactly?" I asked like I didn't know.
"You know." He said and did that shrugging thing that guys did.
"I know what?" I joked.
"We all have known that you hated even the concept of imprinting and that the guy would forever become the girls slave. Lin you know it's not so bad and it makes most of the guys happy to have imprinted on someone. Hey I imprinted on the most beautiful girl ever and I wouldn't have it any other way." He explained.
"Oh really I thought you were single."
"Had to say that you didn't know a few days ago."
"Wow it's so nice to know I'm included in so much." I said sardonically.
"Trust me your about to be more included than you probably want to be." Jake said right before we pulled into a rather big parking space with a huge house occupying the space in front of us.
"This is their house?" I asked completely flabbergasted.
"Yep and I think she heard my car." Jake said rather excited.
"Who?" I asked wanting to know who had Jacob head over heels for them.
"Her." Jake said getting out of the car and was tackled by what looked like a fifteen year old girl.
I couldn't see her face but she was wearing what looked like designer blue jeans and a cute dark green button down shirt with the sleeves to the elbow. When she turned from hugging Jacob I was astounded yet again with how beautiful she was. I guess Jacob didn't lie when it came to things like that. She had eyes the color of chocolate and her hair was long in soft ringlets down her shoulders in a dark bronze like I saw Edward had when we met. Her skin and Jacobs' had a very nice contrast because Jake's was so russet and hers was pale like a light cream or light beige.
"Hello." That was it this girl was perfect. Her voice carried to me and sound to a light soprano which left me speech less.
"Don't be rude Lin, say hi." Jake said with a sly smile as if saying I told you so.
"Hi." Was all I could muster.
"The rest of my family should want to be meeting you. By the way my names Renesmee." She said coming around the car and gave me a hug that I returned hesitantly.
Renesmee rather than Jacob led me to the front door which led into the gorgeous décor and furniture inside.
"It's stunning." I commented.
"I'm glad you think so." I heard another voice accompany us.
"Oh hello." I said timid and over whelmed that there were eight godlike people standing before me that put my plain feature to shame. Jacob didn't count since he was a guy and to add to that, one who didn't mind playing around until I slapped him upside the head.
"Hi this is our family and you must be Lin." A woman with spectacular golden-brown eyes like the rest of what I guessed to be her family.
She came forward and gave me a warm welcoming hug even though her touch was as cold as ice.
"Hello Lin nice to see you again." Dr. Cullen said stepping forth giving a smile that could knock angels full of shame, but I bet each one of them could. "Let me introduce you." He said leading me over to where five I had yet to meet stood. "I believe you've met Renesmee and Edward as well as my wife Esme and myself. Here is Bella." He said gesturing to an angelic like woman who looked to be 19 with perfect features which some looked oddly resembled Renesmee. "This is Emmet and Rosalie." He said gesturing to a tall male with dark black hair and a very muscular build, and a female with blonde hair that fell down past her shoulders who looked to have embodied the goddess Aphrodite herself. "And Alice and Jasper." He said once again gesturing to a small elf like female with spiked auburn hair and a small face, and a rather tall male with honey blonde hair and a slightly pained look on his face.
"Hello." I said to all of them and each replied back with their own signal of hello, and the one who Dr. Cullen told me was Alice stepped toward me and gave me a hug.
"It's great to meet you." She said then stepped back next to the one named Jasper.
"So how can I help you all." I asked breaking the awkward silence.
"Well Edward has what we call an ability, and I believe it may help to see what you saw." Dr. Cullen replied as Edward stepped forward.
"Like I asked before, it is painless right?" I asked concerned.
"I believe it will be pain free." Edward promised.
"Okay then just tell me what to do and I'm all yours." I said.
"Okay would you like to be standing or sitting." He asked.
"Why will it be uncomfortable?" I asked scrunching my brow.
"No just for your convenience."
"Okay then sitting please."
"Have a seat." Edward replied leading me over to the sofa as he pulled a chair up for himself. "Okay now just relax and think about what you saw when you had your vision." He directed.
"Okay." I replied after I had relaxed my muscles and my brain and I started to think about what I had seen.
"Now this shouldn't hurt as a matter a fact you shouldn't feel a thing." He reassured me.
But his reassurance was no use because although I felt a protecting presence in my mind my head started to explode with pain and no warning of it coming. As the fire spread I made a direct reach for my head with both hands as I clutched my hand begging for it to stop. It lifted from my mind and I opened my eyes to find Jacob standing over me holding me.
"Damn it what happened?" He questioned Dr. Cullen and Edward.
"I don't know it's never done that before." Edward replied wide eyed and looking at Carlisle.
"Are you okay Lin?" Carlisle asked leaning over my right side as Jake cradled me while he sat to my left.
"I don't know that only happens with warning and if I'm having a vision." I replied wiping the cold sweat that was present now and that I hadn't noticed.
"I'm deeply sorry and I meant you no harm Lin." Edward apologized.
"It's fine no biggie you didn't mean to I know but I have no idea what happened."
"I think you can't tap into her thoughts like Bella." Carlisle analyzed.
"That's not possible since I could read her thoughts in the hospital." Edward explained.
"Maybe you just don't have access to what I 'see'." I synthesized.
Before anyone could reply to what I said Alice gasped and used the speed Edward had used to get me from in front of Paul in the hospital, to get over to one of the windows overlooking the front yard.
"Paul is here and he is looking for Lin and by my guess he is not happy." Alice announced.
"Wait here Lin I'll talk to him." Jacob interjected as I was about to walk over to the door. I gave him a short nod and sat back down.
"It's okay Lin, Jacob will explain it to him." Esme stated sitting on the couch with me and tried to soothe me as I gave her a hesitant smile.
All of a sudden that hope that everything it would be alright went out of the window when the voices from outside rose to a level that it shouldn't have reached.
"Paul she's in there and she's fine!" I heard Jake bellow.
"I told you and them that I didn't want her around those leeches!" Paul yelled back.
"Damn it Paul just because you imprint on her doesn't mean you can control her!"
"I just want her to be safe! How in the hell would you like it if I went behind your back and helped your girl do something you didn't want her to do?! Huh?!"
"It's different." Jake said a little more calm.
"How the hell is that different damn it give me a damn reason!"
"Paul!" I heard Jake holler before I also heard a ripping sound and a loud snarl.
I made a beeline for the door and I had no idea why, but I was caught from behind and my arms pinned to my sides. I had no idea who'd caught me I just wanted to get out of their grasp and to Paul.
"Let me go. Please just let me go!" I screamed trying to move but I only was hurting myself trying to fight to get loose.
"Just calm down Lin Jake will take care of it." I heard Edward say from behind me.
"Sorry dad I have to check on Jake." I heard Renesmee say then I saw the door open and close so fast it was a blur then everyone was in panic and most ran after her.
"Please Edward let me go I need to be out there." I whispered, pleading with him and still struggling to get free.
"Fine but at a moment's notice I will refrain you, I know Paul wouldn't want that." With those last words I felt my arms be released from my sides and I continued my beeline for the door.
Once I was out I was faced with a scene I rather not have ever seen. Jake had Paul but Paul was still fighting biting Jake every chance he got. When Paul finally bit Jake's flank he let go and they started to circle each other growling.
