Thanks for the review!--
OOO
"It's today in an hour." I said looking at him. Shock ran across his face then realization did. I shook my head and mumbled under my breath. "I really need to start getting the mail daily."
How was I going to do this? I had an hour to tell everyone what is going on and what's going to happen, have to get everyone ready, and have to get into a whole different town and make it there on time before everyone else files in. Wait did it say it started at 2:30? No. So I have no clue when it starts and for all I know they could want me there by that time. Gush this sucks!
I walked out of the kitchen mumbling to myself and Jake followed in confusion.
"Bella what's wrong?" He asked stopping me. I was still mumbling trying to think of how this was going to work out.
"Bella stop talking crazy and talk to me." He said shaking me a little bit. I focused in on him and started to glare at him.
"Jake, shut up. I know what I'm doing and it's not crazy talk." I dropped his arms from me and walked into the main hallway. He followed still asking me "what's going on" or "what's happening" or shit like that. I stopped in the main hallway and stood with my hands behind my back. Jake stood next to me and looked at me.
"Jake I swear if you don't shut up..." I said. I didn't need to finish the threat for him to under stand.
"But Bella, what are we-" I cut him off and whistled. I felt him glare at me and I just gave him a side glance as I listened to the echo of the whistle continue down the halls. I took my hands from behind my back and cupped them around my lips.
"Everyone to the main hallway now please. We need to do something and we need to do it fast." I yelled. My voice echoed through all the halls and soon everyone was standing in front of me on different sides of the room. Good I didn't want them to fight right now. Not that I ever want them to fight but still.
Edward came over and joined me on my other side like Jake had done. They all waited and I took a deep breath calming down my nerves.
"My brother is dead. I know you guys never met him..." I said looking at the Cullen's. "...and I'm sorry to say that now you never will. The pack has met him when we were still living in Washington. He wasn't and now isn't in much of my life but we still need to go to his funeral. We have an hour to get ready and get into a totally different town. I need to do a few things with the General and a few other things need to be prepared.
Transportation: the pack: you will have to run but make sure you bring a suit with you. I know you are all well known in my family but it is formal and a funeral so you can't show in cut offs. I will have you thrown out if you do do that. Collen's: we can take my dad's truck. Charlie did quite a number to it so it will get us there just like my car would. The only draw back is that there isn't enough seating. Alice can ride in the front with Edward and I but two people are going to have to ride in the bed. I know Emmett won't mind..." He faced me a huge smile. "...but I know Rosalie will. So you guys have to decide on who else is to ride in the back while you're getting ready. Well hop to it." I said. They all moved rather quickly and I was fortunate enough to hitch a ride on Edward's back. I knew he didn't mind.
He dropped me off and was about to leave when I remembered something that would do both of us good.
"Edward you don't have to go." I said catching his arm as he went to go. The rest of the family was long gone.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yeah. I have a change of clothes for you and Charlie left a jacket in here from when he used it as a storage room. I have a white button up and a pair of your black slacks. Not only that but I have a tie that you can borrow. I don't see why you couldn't change in here." I said leaning against the door. He looked a bit confused at my comment about Charlie. "Charlie had a bunch of clothes believe it or not. Before I moved in in used this as a weapons storage/ closet. That's why I have that little, well rather big, weapons storage behind all of my clothes." I said. He now knew what I was talking about.
"Okay I so." I smiled and he walked in. I shut the door behind me and walked over to my closet. I pulled out Edwards t-shirt, his pants, Charlie's jacket and set them on the bed. I dug around for a little bit and found my black tie. It should be long enough, seeing how I took it from Charlie. I pulled out a pair of my black fighting pants that had the gun holders already on them, a black tank top, and a black see-through shirt. I pulled out a pair of my boots and set everything on the bed.
I walked into my bathroom and took a much needed quick shower. I put on my underwear and bra and headed up my curling iron. I walked out to see Edward on my computer already dressed.
"Aren't you going to shower?" I asked pulling up my pants.
"I already took one before your little "accident" happened." He said. I nodded even though he couldn't see him. I pulled on my tank top and walked back into the bathroom. I blow dried my hair fast and placed the curls in my hair. I grabbed a pony tail and put my hair up and let the curls cascade down instead up laying on my shoulders. I leaned forward to place some make up on me when Edward knocked on the door. I looked over to see him leaning against it holding my boots in his hand.
"You know I was going to put those on." I said going back to putting on my make up. He didn't say anything and just walked over. I looked at him then shrugged it off. Next thing I know he's bending down and tapping my leg. I lifted my foot and he lifted my pants leg placing the boots on and zipping them up. He moved to the other leg and did the same thing. I just shook it off and he stood up gazing at me. I was placing lip gloss on and I glanced over at him.
"What?" I asked. He just shook his head and smiled.
"Oh...Kay..." I said. I put my lip gloss away and looked at myself in the mirror making sure I looked okay. I turned around and soon Edward's lips were on mine. I was shocked at first but relaxed and kissed him back. I went to kiss him again when he pulled back. I looked at him questioningly and we smiled.
"Time to go." He said. I nodded and reapplied my lip gloss. I walked out and grabbed Edward's hand that he had extended. I smiled at the touch of his skin on mine again. We walked out to see everyone walking toward the main hallway to leave. Alice and Rosalie smiled giving me a thumbs up and I could feel myself blush. They giggled and I just rolled my eyes. We got to the door and I let go of Edward and got the keys from the office.
"Rajah come." I yelled. Next thing everyone knows that big cat is jumping from the top of the second floor and landing next to me as I walked over to the door.
"Rajah can't come." Emmett said. I turned and looked at him, glaring is more like it.
"Rajah comes." I said sternly. He sighed and agreed.
"Emmett and I will sit in the back." Jasper said.
"Or all the guys could sit in the back." Carlisle said.
"Carlisle I don't want you in the back. Besides there has to be space for Rajah. If you don't mind and all of you can fit around her then go ahead but I'm not responsible for what Rajah does." I said turning my stare to Emmett. He was looking a totally different way and started listening.
"That's fine." Jasper said.
"Edward has to sit by Rajah though. She really only knows him." I said looking at him. He smiled and I smiled back. "Now that that is taken care of...where is the pack?" I asked turning around to see them with tuxes in their hands. How were they going to carry that?
"We're all ready to go." Jake said.
"Good let's go." I said heading for the door. Everyone followed and Rajah stayed by my side. The pack went off in a totally different direction and the rest of us headed toward the truck. It was a black F.450, super duty, 4-wheel drive, diesel. nice leather seats, awesome radio, nice bed, and can pull 24,000 pounds. (N.A./ This is a sweet ass truck!!! Trust me. It costs $41,320. It's Nice!) Edward, Jasper, and especially Emmett stared at the truck. The rest of us just walked on by like it was nothing. I placed down the tailgate and stood to the side.
"Rajah in." I said. She hopped in and stood their. "Lay and be still the whole ride." I told her. She laid down and what looked like started to fall asleep. For a large cat, she definitely had a car butt.
"That's your truck?!" Emmett gasped out. I turned and looked at him in shock. For a minute I almost forgot he was there.
"You honestly think my family and I would get some lame-ass truck?! I don't think so." I said. I walked over to the drives side and placed the keys in the ignition. The girls had already gotten comfy on the leather seats. The guys went around to look on the inside but I stopped them.
"In." I said pivoting my head to the bed. Emmett went to argue but I gave him a stern look. Edward hopped in first and sat next to Rajah. She looked up then set her head on his lap. He scratched her head lightly and I could hear her start to purr. The rest of them got in and I closed the tailgate. I walked back and hopped in closing the door behind me. I looked out and saw Jake escape into the woods. I nodded and everyone disappeared. I started the ignition and Alice went start to the radio. I didn't bother with my seat belt because in a little bit no one would be able to see us.
She found an interesting station and blasted it up. It was hip-hop all day everyday. I couldn't even help but dance to it in my seat. I looked in my rear view mirror to see Rajah in the same place and evey guy laughing. I looked at Esme and even she was dancing. Who knew she could let loose like that. I laughed at Emmett as he almost fell out of the truck. I reached past Alice and opened the glove compartment.
"Rose open the back window and tell everyone to hold on. Things are going to speed up." She did that and I pushed the button. Faster than Rose could get back in the truck was going 115 miles per hour.
"Sorry Rose." She said as she repositioned herself in to the truck.
"No problem." She said. We sped down the highway with my awesome reflecting (almost as good as a vampires) and made it just before anyone arrived. Well anyone besides the military of course. I got out and the rest of them did too.
"Wait you guys can't come in yet. It's only family and the military. You guys can come in as soon as it opens...in half an hour. You are more then welcome to hang in the cab or the back your choice." I pulled down the tail gate and Rajah hopped out. I closed it and began walking toward the manor throwing the keys at Edward as he swiftly caught them. I walked toward the doors looking in the windows noting that all the military had their backs to the door and were looking at a closed casket.
I walked in silently, happy that Rajah was being good and that no one heard me. I walked in and looked up. The support beams were showing and I smiled.
"Rajah, up." I whispered. I pointed up and she looked up. She looked at me then walked back running and jumping up on to the support beams. I smiled and walked back myself. I ran and jumped up a wall and over to the beam. Rajah looked at me and I rubbed her head.
"Good girl." I told her. We whispered into their conversation catching glimpse of it.
"...This is going to break her heart..." I heard General Hawkins say. I smiled. He was like a second dad to me. He always treated me right and cared for me when he had to baby sit. Yes he baby sat me when I was way younger.
"...I hope she won't ask us where he is or for that matter what happened..." General Randolf said. He was a total asshole and still is...no surprise there. What really happened to my brother? He died didn't he? Some thing fishy is going on and I'm going to get to the bottom of this...
"Rajah down." I said as I started to jump down. She followed and we landed on our feet. I landed in a crouching position. They didn't hear me land which was surprising.
I got up and started walking. They turned and looked at me in surprise and they shrank back behind General Hawkins at the sight of Rajah. Rajah walked next to me and started to growl.
"Rajah...stop. You know General Hawkins. Be good and you can attack Emmett later." She stopped and cept pace with me.
"Isabella so glad you could make it on time." Generla Hawkins said coming up to me. I smiled and shook my head. I haven't gotten called Isabella from him in so long.
"It's Bella now. But yeah, I'm surprised I made it on time too. I would have been late if it wasn't for Charlie's truck." I said. He gave me a hug and I hugged back.
"You've gotten so big. How are you and Charlie doing these days?" He asked with a smile. That smile was soon going to fade away.
"I'm great but Charlie died not too long ago. him and I got ourselves in some deep shit and he went into a coma but had a seizer and died. I just hope that Jason is enjoying his time with Charlie and Renee." I said smiling weakly.
"What happened to Renee?" He asked. He has always been a major person in the family. It was only right to tell him what has been going on.
"She got remarried to a guy named Phil. Well I went back out to Arizona to kill the people who killed Charlie and I found out that Phil had died and I watched my mother die right in front of me. I only wish I didn't fight with her that night. I didn't really try to save her." I said looking away in shame. Hawkins placed his hand under my chin and moved my face so I would looked at him.
"I'm sorry Bella. I hope your family is happy where they are." He said. I smiled and he hugged me again. I loved the comfort I felt around him. He really was like a second dad but more so more like a big, big brother.
"So what happen to Jason?" I asked. Hawkins and Randolf looked at each other.
"Bella there is something we need to tell you..." Hawkins led me toward the rest of the generals and military men and closed around me telling me what really happened.
Everyone began to pack in and began to sit gown. There was nothing to come and see so its not like they could pay respect or anything. I watched people file in and recognized a lot of military soldiers and other Assassins that the family knew. Yes my father had connections like that. I know it rocks. There had to have been a whole side of military then the rest assassins, plus the pack and the Cullen's. I smiled as they walked in and told them to sit in the front. The gang and Cullen's were going to have to put up with the smell and everything until it's over.
I walked over to them and stood in front of them, my face stone.
"No fighting, no arguing, no nothing, Not today. You can do all that once we get home. I don't want any of that here. Understood?!" I said in a very serious, motherly, stern voice.
"Yes ma'am." I heard them all say. Finally everyone was in and I was able to begin.
"Ladies and Gentle, I want to thank you for coming to this funeral for my brother. He was loved by many and I know for a fact that he was respected by many. Now since we began the General and I had the idea to start out with a song. So before that begins please welcome General Hawkins." I stuck my hand out and back up a little. General Hawkins came up as everyone clapped. I turned around and grabbed the microphome making sure every thing was in order.
"Thank you Bella. Like Bella said, Thank you. Sargent Jason Swan was very respected along with Charlie Swan. Yes I am sorry to say that the Swans have past away. Again like Bella said, we have decided to have some one sing a song in their remembrance. So please help welcome me to Isabella Swan singing 'This is just a dream'." I walked back up as people clapped and the music began. Yes our funerals are very different than any one else.
"It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen Baby why'd you leave me? The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray Baby why'd you leave me? Oh, Oh, this is just a dream
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh she just couldn't believe it
She heard trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Baby why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, now I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah
"Thank you very much Bella." Hawkins said. "Now, I would like to say a few words..."everyone got quiet that I think I could hear a mouse walk along the floor near by.
"Jason Swan was a very kind man. He was loved by many and never stopped helping others. We were very happy to hear that he would be working with my team and me. He never thought twice in killing the enemy or making the right choice. He was never one for tears but I know right now if he could see how grown up Bella is and how well she has been handling Swans business, he would be very happy." Hawkins said.
"Isabella Swan is or rather has taken over the Swans' assassin business." I knew the voice the minute I heard it. I stood up and turned to face him.
"That's right Sam. I'm your boss now plus I'm the only girl who hasn't died on a mission. So shut up and pay respect for my brother. If he was here, you and I both know for a fact that you would be kick out." I said. He went to open his mouth and I glared at him. He shut it and bowed his head. That's right, bow your head and pray I don't kick your ass later for interrupting the funeral. I thought to myself. I sat back down and let Hawkins continue.
"Thank you for that. Well I have said what I wanted to say and now a word from Bella." I stood up and took the stage...again.
"Thank you General Hawkins. My brother was loved by everyone in here. I know there are a few people that don't know him, but I'm happy that they don't mind being here." I smiled at the Cullen's and they smiled back. The pack knew my brother. "I also have family members that loved my brother and are devastated to hear that he has past away." I smiled at the Pack and they all smiled back. "My was very well respected and I know he wished he had the job I have. I don't know if he knew that I would become an assassin but he did say I would do good and I guess he was right. I loved him very much and I know many do. I would do anything for him and that's why..." I paused and looked over at the military. They were all shaking there heads no. I smiled. I loved not following orders.
"...My brother isn't dead. He went MIA and I'm sending out everyone to find him." A huge wave of shocked gasps (along with angry ones) went across the whole room. I just smiled.
Song the song is Just A Dream by Carrie Underwood.
That's where the title comes in.
Sorry it took so long. You can see why.
PLEASE REVIEW AND I WILL TRY TO GET THE NEXT ONE UP FASTER!
