Next Chapter. :) Enjoy ...
Thankfully when I arrived home from the vets Paul still had an hour left of patrolling so I had some time to prepare myself.
I grabbed a towel and jumped into the shower. The constant headache which had been throbbing on the right side of my head since finding out about Kodi yesterday finally washed away with the hot water.
I slid out the shower and wrapped a towel around my body, whilst towel drying my hair with another. As I opened the bathroom door, my path was blocked by a large, tanned, muscular torso.
Paul stiffened in his spot when he saw I was only wearing a towel and stared down at me. I rolled my eyes and pushed past him into my bedroom.
"I guess it is a good job I locked the door" I mumbled.
Paul followed behind me, laughing softly to himself.
"One lock wouldn't stop me Lil" he said cockily.
"Yeah but one very angry Lily with a crow bar might" I warned him.
Paul suddenly looked nervous and took a step away from me. I laughed softly to myself before leaving to get dressed again.
"So the guys told me you wanted to tell me something" Paul fell onto my bed as I returned to the room.
I breathed in deeply.
"The Cullens want a meeting with the pack tonight and I want to come with you" I told him.
Without any warning, Paul jumped off the bed and was suddenly right infront of me, shaking furiously.
"What? No absolutely not" he growled loudly.
I stepped away from him, crashing into the wall behind me. Paul tried to compose himself but it didn't work.
"I wasn't asking for permission. I was just warning you before hand" I snorted.
Paul growled again, glaring down at me. He placed both his shaking fists on the wall on either side of my head.
"If I say that it is too dangerous for you to be there, then you will not be there" Paul said, gritting his teeth together.
"It isn't dangerous" I mumbled.
"It would be more dangerous for me to stay here by myself than in a clearing full of wolves and vampires who could protect me if Davy came looking for me" I argued.
I ducked up Paul's arms and stormed downstairs. Paul followed quick on my heels.
He grabbed my wrist and spun me back to face him.
"Why do you want to be there anyway?" he asked curiously.
"Because Jasper and Alice are my friends. I haven't seen Jasper in a year and want to see him again" I said honestly.
Paul dropped my hand and began backing away, towards the backdoor. The shaking became even more obvious and for once I was truly scared of Paul. His nostrils flared and his eyes darkened.
"You want to rather see that creep rather than stay here with me?" he yelled, spinning around and grabbing the thing closest to him which was a glass vase.
I screamed as the vase came speeding towards me. I jumped out the way and into the living room. The vase narrowly avoided my head and smashed against the front door, breaking into tiny fragments.
"Shit" Paul yelled angrily.
I stood up again and peered around the doorframe to look at the mess of broken glass by the front door.
"I swear Paul, if you are still in my house when I turn around then you better call an ambulance because I will kill you" I shouted loudly.
When I finally built up enough courage to turn around, Paul was now where in sight and the rest of the kitchen was a mess. The table was tipped up on it's side, half of the plates were smashed and the cutlery was all over the floor.
I kneeled down and started collecting the mess when the back door opened again. I glared up from the floor but sighed when I saw Jake and Jared staring at the mess in shock.
"Are you alright Lil? He didn't hurt you did he because if he did, I will rip his head off" Jared growled, bending down to help pick up the broken plates.
"Personally I think he took it better than expected" I laughed softly, trying to lighten the mood.
Jake nodded and smiled apologetically down at me.
"Would you mind picking up the glass by the front door. I would probably cut my fingers to pieces but with your super healing power, you will be fine" I grinned up at Jake.
"Sure Lil" Jake chuckled and stepped around us.
Jared tipped the table back onto four feet and then checked the floor for any pieces of broken plate. Jake quickly disposed of the glass without even cutting his hands and then leaned against the kitchen counter with me.
"Why did Paul smash up the house?" Jared asked.
"I told him about Jasper and he had a fit. He was angry because he said I want to rather see that creep rather than stay here with him and then he threw the vase at me" I murmured.
"So are you still coming to the meeting?" Jake checked.
"Yep"
Jared laughed softly at my stubbornness.
"Lets go then" he said, pulling me out of the back door.
Jared's truck was sitting on the front lawn so I jumped into the back, as Jake and Jared leapt into the front. The drive to the clearing was very short after Jared turned on the radio and we drove through La Push blasting out Kings of Leon even at half past eleven at night.
We pulled down a dusty, over grown trail and stopped behind a line of thick trees. Jared helped me down from the truck but kept hold of my hand, probably to annoy Paul even further. Jake grabbed onto my other hand just as we stepped out into the clearing where the rest of the pack was waiting.
I avoided looking in Paul's direction as he sat sulking on a broken log. Even after my attempts, when my gaze did glance over Paul I noticed a three large red scratches mark running down his left arm and another scratch across his chest.
"Hey momma" Brady ran over to greet us and kissed my cheek quickly.
"Hey baby" I chuckled.
"Lily" Leah cheered, jogging over to hug me softly.
I laughed softly and hugged her back before she pulled away and returned to beating Quil at rock, paper, scissors.
"So when are the Cullen's coming?" Seth asked excitably.
"There are now here" Sam said, waving over at me.
I hadn't seen him since the first bonfire, even though I had been over to check on Emily a few times, he had always been out with the pack.
I waved back and then stared at the line of trees opposite us.
I noticed the pack moved to form a long time with me in the middle. Most of the wolves seemed strangely relaxed to say they were meeting the vampire.
There was a loud crack in the forest infront of us and an equally long time of vampires stepped out of the trees. Alice and Jasper were in the middle of the line but they both suddenly disappeared when they saw me.
I took a step forward away from the line of boys and was met by a strong gust of wind. Suddenly a pair of ice cold arms locked around my waist and I was spun around in a circle.
"Lily" Alice set me back on my feet and beamed at me.
"For once, I love what you are wearing" she giggled, pulling at my leather jacket.
I grinned back at her and then gripped onto Jasper who was now standing beside me.
"Hey Jasp" I chuckled as Jasper hugged me softly.
I ignored the familiar growl from behind me and wrapped my arms around Jasper until I regained my balance and then stepped away to grin at the line of vampires.
"Hey I'm Lily" I smiled at rest of the Cullens who I already knew everything about.
Alice got so excited when I was friends with Jasper that she told me everything about her family and even invited me to spend Christmas with them but I had to stay at home with my mum.
"We know who you are Lily. Both Alice and Jasper have spoken a lot about you, especially Jasper" Carlisle smiled warmly over at me.
Paul growled over at Jasper until both Embry and Quil who were standing either side of him, smacked his arms in unison. Quil winked over at me.
"Alice is always making friends with humans but no one really talks to Jasper because they think he is strange but even though you knew he was a vampire you still became friends with him. That was very brave of you" Edward added.
I smiled over him and he smiled back until Paul began growling again.
"Or just plain suicidal" Paul snarled.
I spun around and glared at him.
"Oh he better start running for shelter" Leah whispered to Seth and Jake who were trying to muffle their laughter.
"You have no right to talk to them like that after what you did tonight. Maybe you should stop judging people by your own standard and take a look at yourself for once because you are definitely not perfect Paul" I growled.
"Now keep your mouth shut or go and do something useful like visit Kodi" I muttered.
Paul huffed loudly but nodded and stared down at the ground.
I looked back at the line of vampire. The rest of the pack were now chuckling with each other and the Cullens looked highly amused too, especially Emmett and Rosaline.
"You don't have to protect us Lily. We have to deal with a lot of abuse from other supernatural creatures especially werewolves" Esme smiled softly over at me.
"It's fine Esme, you haven't lived until you have witness Lily whip Paul's arse in an argument" Seth sniggered.
"Does is happen often?" Emmett smirked at me.
I shrugged my shoulder and grinned back at him.
"Nearly every day" Seth answered.
Paul's head snapped up from the ground and he glared over at Seth. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it again when he saw me watching him.
"So anyway back to the point, you want to help keep Lily safe?" Jake asked, smiling over at me and Jasper.
Jasper nodded quickly in response.
"Well I guess you can hunt for Davy on your side of the bounder line and we will protect La Push. If you see him, even though quite a few of us would like to inflict intense suffering on Davy, don't hesitate to kill him" Jake instructed.
Emmett cheered loudly and pumped his fist in the air happily.
"I actually get to hurt someone this time" he chuckled loudly.
His laughter bounced off the trees surrounding us which scared a flock of crows into the dark sky.
"Good now that is sorted, let's talk about the more important things like when me and Jasper get to take you shopping again. Would you like to come out for dinner with us tomorrow?" Alice grinned widely up at me.
I tried to glance up at Jake subtly asking for his permission as I knew he wouldn't like me spending too much time with them out of Forks.
"I have already seen it happen so Jacob will let you" Alice giggled.
Jake laughed softly and nodded in agreement.
"We will pick you up at six tomorrow at the bounder line" Jasper smirked down at me.
"Ok"
