Chapter Twelve: Girl's Night

The night that Bella and Evie went to the beach was the first night that Carlisle didn't stay with her. The entire family needed to go hunting, and Carlisle had warned her of this a few days prior when she noticed his increasingly dark eyes. He had been putting off a hunting trip so he could spend time with her, and Evie had told him off immediately. While she knew he had to go hunting, however, it didn't mean she had to like it. So, in the absence of her favorite vampire, she chose to bother her sister incessantly instead, which is how she found herself hiding under her sisters bed at 11: 34 PM, waiting for Bella to get out of the shower. When she heard the water shut off, Evie grabbed the can of silly string and waited patiently for the perfect opportunity. Times like this had happened frequently over the years, but had slowly been dwindling as the two sisters grew older, but Evie felt that her sister had been ignored enough, hence the silly string.

Stifling a giggle at her childish actions, Evie watched as her sisters bare feet padded across the floor of her room and to her closet. When Bella moved back to her bed, Evie silently moved to the far side and got ready to jump up with an aerial attack. As soon as the bed dipped, Evie sprung up from her position and pressed the top of the silly string, watching in sick satisfaction as Bella squealed and tried to block Evie's assault with her hands. After mere seconds, though, Bella had had enough and she launched herself across her bed and leapt at her sister, managing to take both of them to the floor laughing the whole way. A brief skirmish later found Evie sitting on top of her sisters back, grinning victoriously at the agitated brunette beneath her. "Will you get off me? You weigh a ton!" Evie rolled her eyes, knowing full well that her dearest sister was over exaggerating.

"What do you say?" The loud 'humph' from Bella was her only answer, making Evie run her finger over the back of Bella's neck. Not a lot of people knew it, but Bella was extremely ticklish on the back of her neck. "Come on, Isa, you know you want to say it," Evie sang.

"Argh, fine! I bow to you, High Priestess Evelyn, Queen of the Amazon Women!" The sister's laughed at each other for a few minutes, both of them remembering the story behind Evie's 'title'.

Flashback

The brightly lit house was packed to the brim with preteens on a sugar rush, excluding the subdued sisters, Evie and Bella. Renee had forced the girls to invite the entire school for a Halloween party. Evie wouldn't have minded so much if they didn't invite Paula and her gang. Paula had it out for Evie, and in turn, Bella, and Evie didn't even know why. It wasn't like she spat on Paula's dead mother's grave, even though her mother was very much alive, the thought still passed her mind. Paula was the 'it' girl, and her followers were her partners in crime. Wherever Paula was, one of the followers was close behind. Paula had learned early on that Evie didn't care what was said about her, but anything they said about Bella would be met with a fist and, sometimes, her shoe. In learning this, Paula had taken it upon herself to tease Bella as much as possible, in turn causing Evie to be suspended… twice. Renee thought that a good party would make them put their differences aside. 'As if,' Evie thought with a huff.

The whole party, Paula had taken to calling Bella 'Twinkle Toes'. It wasn't the fact that they gave Bella a nickname that really pissed Evie off, however. It was the fact that they had purposely tripped Bella as they called her that name. Evie had immediately tried to punch the lights out of the fake blonde bitch, but Renee had pulled her away and said that it was probably an accident. Bella now sported a black eye because of the royal bitch that is Paula, and Evie now only saw in red. At the moment, Bella stood across the room near the snack table that Renee had painstakingly set up, getting herself a cup of what looked to be punch. Evie watched with narrowed eyes as Paula and her gang made their way over to the snack table, smirking at Evie's unsuspecting sister. Pushing off the wall, Evie got to Bella a moment too late, and watched in horror as Paula pushed Bella into the table, knocking the bowl of punch and the food everywhere. Bella, now soaked in red punch, had tears in her eyes, and Evie, sporting a bit of lettuce and some kind of chocolate pudding on her head and dress, stepped between her sister and Paula.

"Aw, look who's come to Twinkle Toes' rescue! Her very own jungle rat!" Evie didn't react to the names, she didn't care anyways because words didn't hurt near as much as fists. With a smirk, Evie jumped onto Paula's taller form and took her down to the floor. With one hand wrapped in the fake blonde tresses and the other pulled back in a fist, Evie laughed cruelly before responding.

"It's High Priestess Evelyn, Queen of the Amazon Women, Bitch!" With a sickening crunch, one that Evie relished in, Paula's nose broke beneath Evie's right hand. "Get it right." As soon as Renee was able to get Evie off of Paula, she hauled Paula out to her car and took her to the hospital, leaving her current fling, Richard, to watch the wild preteens. The rest of Paula's gang left quickly, not wanting to be attacked by Evie, leaving only the people who were impressed by Evie's display. Gregory, a boy that sat next to Evie in English, had two other boys help him lift Evie onto their shoulders and began to chant 'long live the Queen'. The name had stuck with her for years, following her into high school where the seniors had their own version of the events and called her 'High Priestess' in the hallways.

End Flashback

Even now, Evie still got teased by her former class mates, but she didn't care. She had built a legacy and Paula's "reign of terror" had ended that night. After the girls were done laughing at the, now trashed, room, they stood and began to tidy before collapsing on the bed. Charlie was still at work, a new body had been found and they needed the police chief to help with the investigation, so they didn't need to be quiet. Neither of the two girls wanted to go to bed yet, most likely for different reasons, so they grabbed a blanket and the fuzziest slippers they could find and ran downstairs to watch sappy romance movies. Bella picked the movie as Evie grabbed two bowls and spoons along with the entire bucket of rocky road ice cream and the jar of caramel topping. They watched three movies; Leap Year, A Little Bit of Heaven, and Grease. About halfway through grease, the girls fell asleep. Neither of them noticed as Charlie got home, smiling softly at the pair, before turning the TV off and placing another blanket on top of the slumbering girls. Evie fell asleep leaning against the arm of the couch while Bella used Evie's legs as a pillow, and Evie's left hand laying on top of Bella's. This was the scene that Carlisle and Edward both walked in on early in the morning, and neither of them had in in them to move the sisters.

When they woke up the next morning, Bella and Evie shared a gentle look before going to their separate rooms. Carlisle, having moved to Evie's room when Charlie began to wake, lay on Evie's bed. Evie didn't quite believe her eyes, rubbing her palms over her sleep blurred vision harshly, only to find Carlisle now directly in front of her when she opened her eyes once more. With a small squeal, Evie was pressed tightly to his chest and losing all thought as Carlisle's mouth descended onto hers. The kiss was short and sweet, but Evie still had to spend a good minute or two regaining the breath he had stolen from her.

"Good morning, Evelyn. I trust you slept well?" Carlisle asked with a small smile. Evie nodded, a grin coming to her face as she thought about the night before.

"Yeah, Bella and I needed a girl's night, I guess." Evie smiled at Carlisle briefly before moving to her closet to get ready for the day. As she was pulling out her outfit, though, Carlisle began to speak.

"Alice had a vision last night of something rather," He paused as if searching for the right word, "intriguing." Turning to give the blonde god her full attention, Evie was met with his amused smirk, causing her mind to go blank. "She tells me that you have a nickname that I was unfamiliar with. Care to share, High Priestess?" Evie couldn't stop the giggles from escaping at hearing him call her 'High Priestess'. For a few minutes Evie could do nothing but giggle, only calming slightly when she heard Bella moving around in the kitchen above her.

"It was a nickname I made up when I was fourteen. Some girls were picking on Bella and calling her names, so I put a stop to it and dubbed myself 'High Priestess Evelyn, Queen of the Amazon Women'." Carlisle chuckled at her explanation, before sitting on her bed.

"How did you ever come up with such a name?" He asked as he made to lay down. Evie felt her throat get suspiciously dry when the action caused his shirt to become tight around his lean muscles. It seemed that Carlisle noticed her wandering gaze as well, as his delicious mouth curved up into a smirk. Evie narrowed her eyes at him, only serving to widen his smirk, before sighing.

"Um, well it was all kind of 'heat of the moment' and one girl called me a jungle rat, so I said the first thing that popped into my head, I guess." Carlisle nodded, seeming to accept her answer, even though it was a complete lie. The real reason she had come up with the name would be a secret she took with her to the grave, or at least she hoped it would. When it seemed he didn't have any more questions for her, Evie ran upstairs to change. On her way back to her room, she ran into Bella, literally, and ended up with a glass of cold water soaking her white t-shirt. Laughing at their misfortune, Evie helped Bella clean up the water on the floor.

"I was thinking about going to Port Angeles today with Jess and Angela. They want to look at dresses for the dance, but I wanted to head over to a bookstore I found. Want to come?" Evie weighed the pros and cons of Bella's offer, but decided that putting up with Jess wouldn't be too much of a price to pay for more books, so she nodded.

"Sure, just let me know when we're leaving." Bella smiled at her sister before turning back to the sink, most likely to get more water, while Evie went back to her room. Upon entering her room, Evie was startled out of her daze like state by Carlisle, whose eyes were pitch black and was now staring at the ceiling. "What's wrong, Carlisle?" The vampire in question didn't meet her eyes as he gestured to her shirt.

"Your shirt." Evie glanced down at his short answer and saw the real reason why he wouldn't look at her. When the water had spilled all over her shirt, it had made her shirt very see-through, resulting in a great view of her white, lace bra. Evie blushed violently and ran to her closet. Looking over her shoulder to see Carlisle still turned the other way, Evie changed her shirt quickly, only turning around when she had disposed of the drenched shirt.

"Sorry," she said, still bright red. Carlisle let out a breathless laugh before turning back to face her.

"Don't apologize, Evelyn. It was an accident and merely surprised me, is all." Evie cringed slightly and nodded. "I overheard your conversation with Bella. Please be careful today, Evelyn. I can't help but worry about your safety, especially when I cannot be there with you." Evie sat next to Carlisle on her bed and rested her head against his shoulder, smiling slightly when his arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer.

"I promise that I'll be careful." For the next few minutes they were both silent, just basking in the feeling of the others presence, before Evie heard Bella start to descend the stairs.

"I'll be here tonight when you get back, alright?" Evie nodded and leaned in to press a gentle kiss to his cool lips before he disappeared as Bella came into her line of sight.

"Jess will be here soon so we can catch a ride with her." Evie nodded and grabbed her purse along with the can of pepper spray that Charlie had given her years ago. Even though she promised to be careful, she still wanted to be prepared. With that thought, Evie ran upstairs and met Bella on the driveway, waiting for Jess to arrive. It was sure to be a long day.

What do you think? I got the idea for the 'High Priestess Evelyn, Queen of the Amazon Women' from my mom, who went by that name in high school. I love my mom… :) Anyways, please tell me what you think!
