Chapter Ten, Fairy
A/N at the bottom, R&R
Enjoy!
-o-x-o-
The room has mirrors on all four walls and was overall in a rectangular shape. There were 12 desks placed around the room, desk behind desk, desk next to desk. In a four by three length and width. All the maroon colored chairs were placed against the wall, we had to go over and take a chair if we wanted to sit. The ceiling was also a mirrored wall. To my relief the floor boards were a normal blue-green square patterns with occasion pink, white and purple floor boards.
I swear, this was the weirdest thing that had ever happened in my life. Other than the fact that I first hand witnessed a mythical creature and the whole schedazzle.
Alice, Brandon, Mike and Edward all got detention. I gave them all weird looks. Alice and Brandon glared at me while Mike winked and Edward smiled at me. I smiled back deciding to take a seat next to him. We were all seated in the "reflection" room, as Mr. Dobi calls it. (A/N: Lol, My vice principal actually named the detention room the "reflection" room)
Alice got into detention as so, "Well… I was in Calculus class when all of a sudden Miss Clora asks me to answer her question. I do, and answer correctly. The dumbass gets all up in my grill and starts to ask me 'hard' questions. I answered them easily and that seemed to piss her off. She started asking me some personal questions and some other crap about un-math related concepts. When she found I could answer all of them smoothly she gave me detention." Alice snorted out the Miss Clora in her speech.
Brandon's went as so, "I fell asleep in class, than started to vandalize school property, than broke the teachers desk, punched out some kid, hit the teacher, threw that bloody frog out the window-" That was the last I caught before he started to mumble incoherently.
Mike was still in detention because of "molesting" me. He still hit on me but froze and ran away when Jacob was in view. Whenever Jacob would lay his eyes on Mike he would visibly shiver in fear. It took me a while not to laugh out loud and disturb class when this happened.
Edward was simply in detention for correcting the teacher's error.
Jacob, Jasper and I were in here because of our bickering.
Alice was head over heels for Jasper. Alice, was wearing heels at that. Jasper didn't notice her as he kept his eyes downcast occasionally glancing up to glare at everyone around the room. Whenever his eyes would land on Alice either for an examination or glower she would straighten up and smile his way. Causing Jasper to scowl and turn his eyes toward the ground again. Alice's smile would instantly fade and turn into a grim frown and when Jasper would look at me Alice would send me deathly glares.
Jasper and Edward magically got along together.
"Where do you come from?" Edward asked.
"Texas, hence my slight accent," He glared at me again for mentioning his Texan accent as a bad thing. Alice than followed Jasper into glaring at me. Edward noticed this and tried to change the subject.
"How's school so far?" Jasper raised an eyebrow at Edward's question.
"I got into detention for fighting with Miss Swan. Apparently, she's quite a rude person." He remarked.
"Excuse me," I slammed my hand on the table causing Jacob to jump and an amused smile crossed his face. "As I recall you were the one who started all the rude comments." A dark cloud of tension and awkwardness filled through the room, everyone noticing.
"Hello, kids," I flinched at the voice of Mr. Cabinero. He was the "child molester" around the school. It only scared me more that he eyed Jacob, Jasper and Edward lustily. "Hello to you." He said particularly to Edward causing him to shiver is disgust.
"Looks like Edward's got a boyfriend," Jacob teased. Edward glared at him, "Shut up."
Another silence filled the room as I started to pick at the brown, wooden desk I sat at. There was a slight inscription on it saying "Over the hil-" I scratched at it erasing some of the inscription. Jacob leaned over and started to breathe in my ear, making me anxious. It felt wonderful but everyone in the room was looking at me.
"Jacob, stop it," I couldn't help but have short and jagged breaths. "Bella, Bells, Bella," He mused into my ear. My heart beat furiously as it was Edward's turn to glare at Jacob. There were a lot of nasty feelings in the air. Alice was also mad at this even though she still had her eyes on Jasper, who had his on me.
He started to nibble and suck on my ear making me hyperventilate. "Miss Isabella Swan are you okay?" Mr. Cabinero asked in a particularly uninterested tone. "Yes, she is fine." Jacob answered causing the teacher's interest to perk up. He eyed the boys in the class lustfully before turning back to his work.
"What was that about?" Jasper sneered.
"Jazzy," I smiled when he frowned, "Don't be so pessimistic."
"How can I not be? With that… MONSTER right beside you?" I looked next to me. Oh, no.
I spoke, "Mike's not a monster. He might not be as… pretty… as you guys but he's still a good person." I had to stop to think of a word to describe him. I would definitely never admit that anyone was handsome in this room, out loud that is.
Jasper scoffed, "Not him, Jacob." He said Jacob's name in abhorrence.
"What about him?" I turned my head and raised a questioning eyebrow at him. What if Jasper knew that Jacob was a fae? Was that possible? I'd never really met someone other than people in my bloodline that could.
"You don't know? He's a damn fairy!" Jasper shouted.
Jacob shook in confusion and wrath. "Number one, I'm straight, and I can prove that with Bella over here. I am neither short, small or tremendously thin."
"You know what I mean!" Jasper sat there with his arms crossed over his chest. His slightly tanned skin so white against his black clothing. Jacob rolled his eyes, being a good liar, "There are no other meanings."
Jasper groaned in frustration while the other students in the room completely lost in this conversation. Edward kept meeting my gaze with query in his eyes, but I had no answer.
"Jacob… don't lie to me. I know what you are." Jacob grimaced. "I'm only human…" but I heard him mumble quietly, even though I sat right next to him I barely heard, "I wish I am." Before sitting down and keeping his body up. He had pride in himself which I admired. Of course Alice knew as well and I was pretty sure she was on hyper in her mind thinking about her and Jasper, all the possibilities.
"Later, Bella, please," He never addressed me as Bella directly. Unless he was talking to others he would straightly call me Bells. I sighed, hoping nothing bad like my grandmother had told me would happen. (You know, about deaths and all that)
-x-o-x-
I asked Jacob to come home with me so he could explain everything, if he would. Charlie would be there but since Charlie can't see fae he won't understand or hear if we go to my room. Charlie eagerly invited Jacob in.
"Jacob! Come in, won't you have dinner with us?" Charlie chirped happily.
Jacob laughed, "Don't I always?"
Charlie and Jacob once again sat on our, now stained brown, white couch. It was old but comfortable and soft. Charlie's house was nice with the live in feeling. There was a mess everywhere but that was just part of the house now. Charlie had newly installed a plasma television with Jacob; they were glued to the television.
I prepared another simple pasta plate. They loved anything I cooked as long as it would fill them up. Charlie had taste buds, but Jacob, he ate so much, it was scary. I took out the butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese and parsley to make Alfredo Sauce. I carelessly boiled the water and dumped the pasta in stirring.
After I finished I left the Alfredo Sauce in a separate bowl for their own serving pleasure. Jacob came in immediate coming toward me to give me a hug. I was shocked at his braveness and started to back away. His face crumpled in false pain, "Bells, what was that about? I was just trying to get to my seat." He said as Charlie came in.
"Hm?" He asked simply. "I don't think Bella likes me much." Jacob said coming to a conclusion.
Charlie laughed, "You're the only one she talks about in her sleep." I blushed so hard, "CHARLIE!"
"What, Bella? I'm just telling the truth." He tried to plaster an innocent look on his face but failed miserably as a smile broke through. Jacob smiled at me. Oh my god, now he knows that I have secret feelings for him. I was going to kill Charlie in his sleep, just wait for the clock to stroke midnight.
I frowned, sitting down and started picking at my pasta. "How's school?"
After we were finished with small talk they started to talk about fishing. Jacob had then tried to include me in their conversation so he changed the topic on Mike Newton. Once I finished dinner I asked Jacob to come to my room when he was finished. Charlie paled and demanded a, "No," Jacob laughed, "Don't worry, Charlie, we won't be doing anything like that." Charlie eyed us warily before starting on his second bowl of pasta while Jacob started his fifth. Monster, I used to describe his eating, in a less serious and more playful manner.
I lay on my bed waiting for him to finish so I pulled out my Jane Austen book. I read Pride and Prejudice all over again. I only got up to chapter three before Jacob rapped the door twice and entered after I told him to come in. Jacob looked extremely uncomfortable, "Jacob why don't you sit down."
I hit the spot next to me on my bed and after a second of thinking he sat down, edging up to me. "Too close," I said laughing as his arm nudged into my side. I tumbled over in laughter as he tickled me. It ended just as fast as it came, "Bella what do you think I am?" He sat up straight and put some distance between us.
"Just what Jasper said,"
"So you're believing Jasper?" He stated with a tint of anger. His face was calm and serene and I particularly hated the face. His features froze as a frown etched into his face, he looked so far away that it frightened me.
"No, I've known and seen. From the beginning," He relaxed for a second before his face turned hard again.
"Why didn't you tell me?" His frown deepened.
"Why didn't you tell me? I didn't tell you because I've heard legends about the fae, and about how your people killed the people who could recognize and see fae. I didn't want to die, not yet, at least." I stretched out trying to relieve some stress and tension in my body. Today wasn't the best day possible on Earth.
Jacob's face seemed to get more pessimistic by the second, the frown deepening again. "Because than I would have to kill you, we don't torture people. We like it when people feel the least pain possible. Sometimes, though, we do like to let loose in the human world and cause some havoc. It's a hobby since we have nothing better to do." I was hoping he was telling the truth, because it did sound like the truth to me. Than again, Jacob is a good liar.
"Will you answer my questions? If I ask them?" I was really curious about a few things. "Okay," He obliged.
"Do you enjoy playing pranks on innocent civilians?"
"No, but that little booger Alice does. We don't pick on the most innocent of civilians. We play pranks on the ones who have done something bad in their lives. How do we know if they have? It's just an instinct and it always proves right. Like when Miss Isabella Swan stole her teacher's magnets in kindergarten." Jacob added.
"Hey! I was little!" I defended, "That's what everyone says," Jacob rolled his eyes.
"Question number two, do you have wings like the fae do in myths?" I was absolutely in love with wings. They were exquisite and enticing. "You shouldn't listen to human myths. Most of them are wrong and a lot of them are false, especially on vampires and werewolves. Some fae do and some don't, I am one of them that do."
"Can you tell me why?"
"In the beginning of our life there was only one of us, he was named Aedos. That one had wings, and with no other choice that male had to find a female to mate with. He ended up with a human named Venus. They had quite a few kids, 14 to be exact. 10 had wings, three didn't and one didn't make it. The chain continued on and on, but most fae mated with other fae, a select few went with humans. Hence the fae with no wings. When a fae and a human get together it is most likely that you get a fae child with wings than a fae child without wings. I come from a royal bloodline although my past is a mystery. That makes me the heir of the royal thrown." I listened to him talk waiting for it to sink in.
"You're… royal?" I stuttered.
Jacob shrugged, "I guess, Fae can also change others into fae. Most of the changed fae do not get wings but if they have a strong life force than they get wings. There are two ways to get changed. The one that I detest most, is just a simple bite, so get some fae saliva into the blood stream. It's a little like bloodsuckers but they have venom and their change takes three days. When humans get changed from fae it also depends on how strong the life force is. The usual amount of time it takes is one day and six hours. There is no real pain, just blackness for a certain amount of time.
The other way is a special mix of herbs and ingredients. The most common form of this mix is a drink, wine in specific.
"In my case I was born faery, the other fae do say that I really am something else. To tell you about the reality I am a werewolf. A hybrid; between werewolf and faery." A new round of questions bubbled up in my mind.
"Than doesn't that mean that you got changed when you were a werewolf?" I asked, confused.
"No, well, I'm not sure about that. My parent's would never allow me to talk about it. They would avoid the topic drastically. Sarah, my mother, would have a spasm attack. She would hyperventilate and freak out. I'm not supposed to question my true heritage. My fae parents might not to be my real parents, and one of them certainly aren't." Jacob mentioned sheepishly. "I do think I was born werewolf." He added.
"Aren't werewolves and vampires mortal enemies?" I asked and he answered, "Yes,"
"Why do you loathe vampires?"
"They have a horrible stench to them. They have a sickly sweet scent that's hard to describe. The closest I can get is that they smell like dozens and thousands of rotten cakes mixed with more rotten sweets and eggs, perhaps. To the bloodsuckers we smell like wet dog. That's the closest that they can get to our scent and vampires detest werewolves as much as werewolves detest vampires."
I laughed, "That's it? Werewolves and Vampires are mortal enemies because they smell bad to each other?"
"There's more to it. Everything about them repulses werewolves. The fact that they drink human blood, the fact that they sparkle in the sun, the fact that they use their looks to lure in unsuspecting prey, the fact that they are actually dead, the fact that they-"
"I get it. They're vile creatures. Do fae have special abilities?"
"Some do, but that is extremely rare and so far just a myth. Some people might have been special from the beginning, like the fact that I'm a hybrid werewolf-fae. Against the will of anyone or thing out there was a hybrid fae-vampire. It's believed that Aro, one of the son's of Aedos and Venus, was caught by a vampire and changed. Aro than couldn't bear living with us, the fae, so he eventually left and we don't know whatever happened to him. The last letter he sent was actually a week ago. He was perky in his writing and told only a little on his 'brothers' before ending the letter in his signature. It was inhumanly perfect.
Once the elders received the letter they responded immediately. Few of them remembered Aro and the ones that did didn't remember him that clearly. The response wanted to know about everything in his vampiric life. The old fools are too curious for comfort. One day they'll make a terrible mistake and cause something horrible to arise."
I nodded again trying to take in all this information, too much it way too much. "Bells, go to sleep, If you have any questions you can ask me tomorrow. I'll be glad to answer. No one takes an interest in the life and history of fae. You're the first person I've ever told because everyone back home already knows if they've went to class-"
I moaned in impatience and pushed Jacob aside, though he didn't budge, and grabbed my pillow. I smothered my face in the white fluffiness pulling up my quilt. Jacob chuckled to himself and helped me get settled in bed before it went dark and I fell asleep.

A/N: This is the longest chapter that I've written, so far (more than 3000 words, 3256). Be patient and please read all of the written text. This is my story so I have made Aro part fae. If you do have any questions about fae-werewolves-vampires feel free to ask them in a review or a PM. I'll collect questions (if there are any) and post them in the next chapter.
This is taking a lot longer than I had expected. I will try my best to write as much as I can.
I just realized the error I made. It's fey, not fae; I like fae better. So, I'm leaving it at that.
