Angel P.O.V
I just finished putting my hair up when I left cold lips on my neck.
"Emmett I need to get ready."
His lips roamed my neck. "But I don't want you to. Come back to bed for a bit."
"Emmett Cullen we are already almost late. An you are not missing your family's not to mention Bella's graduation and the party."
He turned me pinning me to the wall his hands gripping my hips as he kissed me. "Must we I much rather have more alone time with you."
"I promise we will leave early tonight."
"Fine."
He moved away and went to get his nice clothes on. I couldn't help but shake my head. Every since I let go and became whole with Emmett he became insatiable. But truth be told so have I.
"Okay I'm ready."
I turned to see Emmett wearing a nice pair of jeans and a button up shirt. I smirked as he pulled on the top button as if it was choking him.
"Problems?"
"This is so uncomfortable."
I moved forward quickly undoing his top button. "Don't make yourself uncomfortable." Reaching onto the table I grabbed the bag containing some of the gifts I gotten for a few people I turned toward Emmett.
"Race you to the house."
Emmett smirked before taking off. I chuckled an took off after him running as fast as I could. Of course the cheater beat me to the house.
Jasper came forward hugging me. "He cheated didn't he?"
"Yes, as he always do."
"Hey!"
I stuck my tongue out at him as he chuckled. Alice ran forward pushing me toward Carlisle's car. "Come on we have to go."
"Alright alright Alice."
We loaded into the cars and headed to the high school. I was surprised at house packed the parking lot was. I could see that people were taking up spaces in the businesses around the school. After Carlisle parked I followed the other inside smiling and waving at Angela, Ben and Bella. Moving over to Charlie I gave him a hug.
"How are you Charlie?"
"Good. It feels weird seeing Bella graduating."
"You must be very proud."
"I am." He looked down and sighed. "I see you are joining their family."
I looked down at my ring."Yep. I hope I can count on you to come to the wedding."
He leaned down and kissed my forehead. "Of course kid." He cleared his throat. "You are almost like a daughter to me"
"Awe thank you charlie."
Carlisle came forward. "The ceremony is about to start."
"Thanks Carlisle."
We went inside finding out seats. I cuddled against Emmett's side as I looked up as Jessica made her way to the stage.
She took a deep breathe before starting. "When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up .Our answers were thing like astronaut, president...Or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?! This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, it's the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train, and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent... So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be... we won't have to guess. We'll know."
I could tell the way Bella was glancing around she was really thinking about what Jessica said. An she did have some points in her speech. Still doesn't mean I like her. As everyone filled out I moved over to Angela and Ben who stood with their parents.
"Congates Angela."
She turned smiling and giving me a hug. "Angel how are you?"
"I'm good." I opened the bag and handed the two wrapped gifts to Angel and Ben. "Got you two something."
Angela tore through the wrapping paper before opening the small box. I couldn't help the smile when both her and Ben's mouth dropped.
Angela looked up. "Angel we can't take this."
I smirked hugging her and Ben before smiling to their parents. "This is for all of you so you may all have a nice holiday before Angela and Ben start collage."
looked down. "What is it.?"
Angela looked up. "It is a ticket for both our families to go to Ireland for a few weeks."
Mr. Weber looked up. "We can't take this it is to much."
I smirked as Uncle Matt and Aunt Cassie joined us. "Actually it isn't."
"You see we have family in Ireland not to mention they own their own plane. As a gift they will fly you over and even offered for you two to stay in their guest house."
Angela hugged me again. "Thank you."
Emmett walked up and wrapped his arms around my shoulder. "Well we'll see you guys at the party. Come on Angel lets get going."
~~Time Skip~~~
I glared at Alice as she pushed me out of Emmett's old bedroom. I could hear everyone downstairs. Alice had finally got to me. I had hidden upstairs for the last coupe of hours. But my sanctuary was disturbed an the little evil pixie took it upon herself to fine me and force me into a dress before pushing me downstairs to mingle with the other kids.
But as soon as I got downstairs I noticed all the Cullen's had disappeared. That is strange.
"Angel!"
I turned to see Bella being escorted by Alice followed by. "Jacob Black. How's the jaw."
He looked down. "I deserved the beating Angel and I am sorry."
Bella looked at me. "Beating!"
Alice pushed us both. "Not the time the others are waiting."
We walked into the second living room and I immediately moved to Emmett's side sighing as he pulled me into his arms.
"What's going on?"
I watch Edward pull Bella into his arms as he looked at Alice. "How long?"
'Long what were they talking about.' I felt Emmett's hand run over my back trying to calm me down.
"They'll be here in four days."
Carlisle sighed looking up. "This could turn into a blood bath."
I suddenly hit me. The disappearances in Seattle. Whatever was going on was coming here. I looked to Alice. "Who's behind it?"
She looked off distantly as if remembering, " I didn't see anyone I recognize... Maybe one..."
Edward sat up. "I know his face. He's local, Riley Biers. HE didn't start this."
Alice sighed. "Whoever did is staying out of the action."
It suddenly hit me what was happening. "They are playing with the blind spots in your vision."
Jasper's eyes narrowed. "Either way, the army is coming... and there aren't enough of us to protect the town."
"Even with the Sekkari's help it may still be a problem."
Jake moved forward. "Hold up... What damn army?"
Carlisle was the first to answer the angry wolf. "Newborns . Our kind."
Embry looked over at me before looking at Carlisle " What are they after?"
"They were passing around Bella's scent. A red blouse."
That shocked me why wasn't I told about this. I looked up at Emmett he just leaned down and kissed my forehead before whispering. "Later lve."
Embry looked to me before turning to Carlisle. "They're after Bella?"
I saw Jacob tense glaring at Edward. "What the hell does this mean?"
Carlisle was the one who answered. "It means an ugly with. With lives lost."
"We're in."
Bella stood up looking at Jake. "No. You'll get yourselves killed, no way."
Jacob sighed. "I wasn't asking for permission."
Bella looked at Edward almost pleadingly. "Edward?"
Edward looked at me torn. I made sure I replayed the lesson I taught him when I threw him out the window. He gulped before answering Bella. "It means more protection for you."
"Jacob."
Carlisle saw the opportunity of an alliance. "Do you believe Sam will agree to... an understanding?"
Jake smirked. "As long as we get to kill some vampires."
"Jasper."
That got my attention. Why would Carlisle be looking at Jasper for advice. Jasper looked to the wolves. "They'll give us the numbers. And the newborns won't know they even exist. That'll give us an edge."
Carlisle got up walking over to me noticing my distress to the situation ran a hand over my hair like my mother used to do when she would try and calm me, "We'll need to coordinate."
Bella's eyes scanned he room. "Carlisle, they'll gonna get hurt."
"We'll all need some training. Fighting newborns requires knowledge that Jasper has. You're welcome to join us. Alright."
Jacob moved closer to Carlisle. I could see he was holding his breathe. " Name the time and place."
I moved from Emmett's side moving closer to Carlisle. "I'll contact the clans. There may be a few to help us." With that I let the room and headed to mine and Emmett's former room. Though for tonight I'll want to stay her. Getting my laptop quickly sent and email to the head of the clans.
'Clans of old,
I send this message in a plea for assistance. In my home of Forks Washington we are about to face a foe who seeks to destroy my mate and family. I know that the enemy is an army of newborn vampires. Of the number I am uncertain but I know it is many. I ask that any that can assist us please come as soon as possible.
many thanks
Angel Wyatt daughter of Marielle Wyatt
& Damien Grady
Sending the email I heard the door open before two strong arms wrapped around my shoulder.
"Are you okay my love."
"Yeah I guess." Getting up I pushed Emmett till he sat on the bed. I climbed into his lap hugging him close. "What's going on Emmett. I had a feeling you, Edward and Alice were keeping something from me."
He sighed. "Yes we were because I wanted to tell you in person."
"What?"
"It wasn't only Bella's scent they were passing around."
I shot up my heart dropping. "They were passing around my scent as well?"
"Yes. A silver shirt. But I swear to you Angel they will never get near you."
"Emmett people will get hurt because of me."
"No the army will get hurt for ever thinking they could come and take not only my mate but my sister away. If I ever find out who done this I will rip them to shreds."
That had me thinking. Whoever done this? Who have both Bella and I made mad... Tanner? No he would use a more direct approach torturing us by making us watch him kill someone we love. An besides he wasn't a vampire... Was he? No there was only one other person I could think of that both Bella and I have encountered... James, Laurant, and Victoria. Laurant is dead thanks to the wolves. Now if I remembered correctly Victoria was Jame's mate. An if we felt as protective of our mates? Edward and Emmett killed James for what I was told. Could it be she is wanting revenge?"
"Angel?"
"Hum?"
"What has you thinking so hard. I swear I could see the cogs turning in your head."
"Emmett I think I know who is behind this."
"Who?"
"Victoria. Think about it. You and Edward killed James. Her mate! She could have done this for revenge."
"But Alice had been watching her."
"SO she lets another make the decisions for her."
He sighed before picking me up sitting me at the foot of the bed. I watched as he went into his closet and pulled out one of his big shirts. I knew what he was doing. "Emmett!"
"Angel take tonight to rest. Tomorrow we have much to do"
I didn't fight him as he unzipped the dress Alice put me in. My eyes closed with a sigh as his cold lips traced down my spine. "Let me take care of you tonight Angel. No worries! No nothing!" He slipped his shirt on over my head before picking me up and moving to the bed turning down the covers and laying me down before joining me under the covers.
I settled against his side."Have I told you how much I love you Emmett."
"Every second of every day."
"Well I do. An thank you for doing this. For taking care of me."
"Anything for you my beautiful angel. Now get some rest."
With another sigh I settled down closing my eyes and trusting Emmett to keep away any nightmares fell into a deep sleep.
Sorry for the late chapter this one kind of gave me trouble to write because there was so much I wanted to do but I hope you are happy with it. Now the next chapter we will learn which of the clans answered Angel's plea for help.
Have a wonderful day and as always...
HAPPY READINGS!
