Alrighty, I'm going to post this tonight. I wasn't planning on it, but I know how it feels to have to wait awhile to read a fanfic. Its like death. XD Anyways, here you go.
Chapter Eleven - Treaty
There he was again. This time, he was flanked by three other Quileute teens, and Seth. All of them, looked around the age of twenty-five, but I was sure they were trapped in their teen aged bodies.
"Can I help you?" I asked with a hiss.
"We'd like to speak to Carlisle." Jacob said with a growl.
"He's not here. The best person to talk to at the moment, would be Edward. Which, as we speak, is talking to Alice and Jasper. So, again, can I help you?"
He drew back slightly. I hadn't heard them arrive. Edward, who was flanked by Jasper and Alice, was standing behind me. He put his hands around my waist.
"You heard her, mongrel. What do you want?" Edward spoke from behind me in a calm voice, but it was still threatening.
It happened so fast. One second we were standing there, being semi-courteous. The next, Jacob lunged towards me. He tackled me to the ground. The next second Edward was standing over me his hand held out, waiting to help me up. Jacob had been thrown across the room. The boys bodies all shook violently.
"Don't you ever touch my wife again. Or I will personally break every bone in your body." Edward hissed, his voice no longer calm.
I was standing now. "Jasper, what did you do with that baseball bat?" I asked, an evil look gleamed in my eyes. I caught my reflection in the mirror, I looked like a vampire. I had always been so worried when Edward looked like this, but now me.
Seth moved to help Jacob. "Get out of here." He spoke to the others while helping Jacob up off the floor. "We didn't come for a fight, Edward. Please believe me."
The way Seth spoke to Edward, was as if he was already the chief. He was able to control his anger a lot better than Jacob at least. Something was wrong with Jacob. I just couldn't figure it out.
Jasper handed the bat to me. I moved gently, swiftly over to the now standing Jacob. I was getting ready to swing the bat as hard as I could at Jacob's head, but Edward grabbed the bat and pulled it out of my hand. "Go upstairs, you're embarrassing yourself."
I didn't move. I didn't need to. It was just as much as my place to be here, just as it was his. His chivlary really did wear off sometimes. I dropped my hands and he handed the bat back to Jasper.
I stepped back to Edward's right side. I stood next to him and Alice. I crossed my arms across my chest. "Get on with it then. We don't have all day."
Alice leaned up to whisper in my ear. "You know, I normally like you being who you are, but this hostile side of you is fun too." She smiled at me.
"Let me handle this, Bella." Edward said. "So, what is this about the treaty?"
Jacob looked saddened. He stepped back behind Seth. Letting him talk for the pack. He looked like my Jacob again. His hair as shaggy as ever. I smiled.
"The treaty was broken Edward. You know that we have no choice but to start a war now. Its fair warning."
Edward nodded. His face was straight. His lips pursed. Nothing else was said. The last two werewolves walked out of the house.
