I got up after what felt like a half hour a Jacob yelling at me to get up. I got up slowly and looked around, I loved the Rez though, I was paler than everyone else. I didn't want to get up, but I had to get ready to play baseball with the family. After I was dressed I walk out to the kitchen. Jake was sitting at the table eating a sandwich. I smiled and walked into the view of the boys.
" Nice to see you up,'' Billy said with a smile, " about time too.'' I figured he was joking about how late it was.
I laughed and sat down, " can't stay long,'' I said sadly. I hated leaving them, especially Jake, " Family event today. meeting my brothers girlfriend.''
" Sounds like fun,'' Billy said sarcastically. Jake laughed knowing that Edward and I really didn't get along.
I laughed too, because it was a funny thought, " Yeah, we're playing baseball.''
" America's pastime,'' Billy replied with a smile. I looked at my phone to see a text from Rose.
Get here Em and I are tired of waiting
xoxo Rose
" What time is it?'' I asked looking at when she texted me. I didn't sleep that long did I, if i did Alice would kill me.
Billy looked at the clock, " 2:30.''
" Crap,'' I said angrily, " Jake I have to, mind giving me a ride.''
He got up and followed me out the door. we got in the car and he drove to the Line. He stopped and I looked at him. I looked at him with a sad smile.
" thanks for the ride,'' I said kissing his check. I heard Emmett groan, and figured Rose was smirking at the small action.
he smiled at me as I pulled away, " no problem.''
I smiled and got out and ran over to my siblings. Emmett picked me up into a hug, he spun me around and then set me down.
" Never do that again Alex,'' he said using he best Dad impression
I rolled my eyes and turned to, " My clothes in the car?'' I asked Rose.
She smirked and nodded, " Yes, though, you sure you want to leave.''
I laughed and got into the back. They drove as I began to change clothes. I knew Emmett wouldn't look and I didn't care if Rose did. After I changed all got mocked by Emmett for only kissing Jake's cheek. Rose hit him, not wanting me do anything with that... What's a nice word for it dog. She used mutt which I told her not to anymore, but when was I listened to.
We stopped and got out, I looked around and didn't see the guests of honor. I followed behind my favorite two people and stopped next to Mom.
" Glad you could make it,'' She said hugging me, " Bella really wants to meet you.'' She said to me and I shrugged.
" Can't imagine why,'' I said walking away. Rose and I agreed to hate Bella until she gave us a reason not to. Rose and Dad were messing with the bat when Edward and Bella pulled up, " They're here!''
I saw Mom and Bella talking and for some reason I was upset. I was upset Mom liked her, upset Edward was risking us for her. I walked over with Emmett and I laughed Mom and him bickering.
" She thinks we cheat,'' He said and I pushed his shoulder.
She turned him and pointed, " I know you cheat. Just call 'em as you see 'em''
I heard a crack of thunder and waited for Alice's que.
" it's time!'' She yelled and we all got to our places. I stood behind Rose because I was batting next. Alice pitched and Rose hit the ball making the sound of thunder. Bella looked shocked and I scoffed. Edward ran to get the ball and I stood there with a smirk. She really wasn't that bright was she. Mom caught the ball and waited for Rose to get close to the base. She touched it and I could tell what the human was going to say.
" You're out,'' Bella said which pissed Rose off. She brushed herself off and walked over to me and handed me the bat. I stood at home base and waited for Alice to pitch. I hit the ball causing a loud crack to break through the area. I ran the bases and Edward and Emmett hit into each other as they went to catch the ball. I laughed when I hit the home base.
" Bet you can't do that with your boys,'' Rose said as I walked over to her. After a few more players Rose was back up to bat. She hit the ball and began to run.
" Stop the game!'' Alice yelled as Rose hit first base.
" Mom!'' I yelled going over to her.
She grabbed me held me close, " it's alright.'' She didn't let go as we walked toward the rest of the family.
Four vampires came from the woods and I put my head down. I was hoping that they didn't see me. Thalia I was fine with we had bonded and became pretty good friends. Victoria was the one who scared me, I stayed close to the family and kept my head down.
" We are sorry to interrupt. We didn't know someone occupied the area,'' Laurent said innocently.
I saw Thalia scoff at him, " Don't lie Laurent,'' she said standing next to the woman I guessed to be her mother, " we were just passing through.''
" Alexia told us about you,'' Lia's mother said, " is she here?''
I looked up and she smirked. Mom grabbed on to me to make sure nothing happened, " where are our manners I am Laurent, this is James,'' he said motioning to the blonde man next to him, " and these lovely women are Victoria and Thalia.''
" I'm Carlisle and this is my family,'' Dad said trying to diffuse the situation. he always did hate violence, even if there was no way of avoiding it.
Laurent nodded, " I believe this belongs to you,'' he said throwing the ball at Dad.
" thank you,'' he replied, though he saw Victoria still looking at me.
" Could you use four more players,'' Laurent asked him happily. I was hoping he'd say no.
Victoria smirked at me and scarcely moved closer to Rose, Mom, and Em, " Yes, someone of us were just leaving. You can fill in for them. We'll bat first,' he said throwing the ball causing Victoria to catch it.
" I'm the one with the wicked curve ball,'' she said sarcastically, " Is Alexia staying? I'd love to see her play.''
I nodded and they went out to the field. Edward and Bella were leaving when the wind blew causing James to stop. He went to attack and My family surrounded her. Thalia stayed away not wanting to get caught in the crossfire. She looked at me apologetically, I didn't know why she was sorry.
" The girls with us,'' Dad said protectively, more so than he was with me.
Laurent took a step back, " I can see the game is over we'll be leaving now.'' He said making James and Victoria walk away.
" Lia you coming?'' her mom asked her.
She nodded, " I'll catch up,'' she said. When the three were gone I ran over and hugged her, " I'm so sorry.'' She repeated to me sadly.
" Edward get Bella out of here,'' Dad said to them then turned to me and the redhead, " You two know each other?'' He asked confused.
I nodded, " we're friends. She asked the pack for help in stopping James,'' I explained to them.
Mom nodded, " then it's not safe for either of you. You both going to the Reservation.''
We nodded and ran off to the Rez hoping James wouldn't follow us. If James was after Bella he may go after Chris and Sam would not be happy. With us there and three wolves we maybe able to keep her safe.
