Chapter 21

- - - I thought it was my imagination but it wasn't. Edward was standing across from Jake and me. Then I remembered Jake. I took a hold of one of his arms afraid he was going to attack Edward and that Edward was going to hurt him.

"Jake please calm down" I whispered

Jake tried shrugging my grip on his arm but I didn't let him. I held his arm tighter. Jake had no choice but to try and calm down otherwise he could end up hurting me.

"What do you want you leech?" hissed Jake

"I want to talk to Bella" said Edward stepping out from the trees

I could feel Jake start shaking again. I rubbed my hand on his shoulder trying to get him to calm down. "What do you want to talk about Edward?"

"I want to talk to you in private" said Edward looking at Jake

Jake glared at him. "It isn't going to happen"

"Whatever you have to say Edward say it" I said not wanting to cause problems

"Please Bella, I need to speak to you just for a few minutes" pleaded Edward

I turned to look down at Jake who looked up at me. He shrugged my hand away from his arm but got hold of his hand. "I'll settle this, you can stay and keep watch"

Jake gave me a single nod not having any other choice to go by. I walked down the steps and towards Edward. He met me half way and I had to take a few steps back. He wanted to embrace me but I couldn't not with Jake watching. I didn't want to hurt Jake's feelings.

"Bella I'm sorry" he whispered "I didn't want to leave but if I stayed it would cause more danger for you. I had to leave to protect you"

"Protect me? It didn't seem like you were protecting me. It was more like you were trying to get rid of me. Trying to make me forget you." I shook my head "Why did you come here Edward?"

"I wanted to make sure you got here safely and to see if you were okay"

"I'm fine. Luna can't remember anything from the time in Italy, so you don't have to worry about us telling anyone anything" I turned away to walk back

Edward grabbed my shoulder to stop me. I turned around to meet him.

"I also came here for you to forgive me." Edward place his hands at each side of my face.

I couldn't help but breath in his scent. I heard him chuckle and I got out of my trance. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I couldn't let this keep going on, it had to stop. It had to stop now. I took Edwards hands and moved them away from my face. I looked up at him and saw a confused look on his face.

"I can't do this Edward. I can't take this chance again" I said "People are getting hurt because of me including you"

"No. What I did was my own fault."

Edward tried to reach for me again but I took a step back. "No Edward. I can't let you hurt me again…I'm sorry"

"You don't have to be, it's my fault" said Edward

"Bye Edward" I whispered. I turned around and began walking back to the house.

"I won't give up. I'll do anything to get you back. I won't let my mistakes lose the only thing I live for."

I froze in my step but I did not dare turn around. I looked over at Jake. He had heard what Edward said. He was glaring at him. Before I could take any action, I heard Edward turn and Jake move. I turned to Edward and followed his gaze. His gaze landed on my house. I looked over at the window and found Raven. She was looking down at us. Her eyes caught my gaze before turning around and leaving the window.

- - - I was up and serving breakfast to Charlie and uncle Logan. Raven sat with them. She didn't tell me anything when I came back in the house yesterday and she didn't say anything this morning. I left them to eat breakfast in the kitchen while I went up to my room. Jake, Leah, Seth and Paul followed me up to my room. They had come to see Luna.

"Luna-nee-chan?" mumbled Rika from her sleeping bag (1)

"Hm Rika?" Luna was under her sheets still sleeping

"How come there are people around your bed?"

There was ruffling under her sheets before she sat up. "What are you talking about Rika?"

I saw Rika's hand shoot up and pointed at the group. Luna turned to see them. "Eeeeeppppp!"

Luna fell on the other side of the bed to the floor. Rika sat up and laughed pointing at Luna. Luna got up from the floor and ran a hand through her messy hair.

"What are you guys and Leah doing here?" she asked

"We came to see how you were doing" said Leah

"I'm good. It's nothing really just a meltdown. I always get them" said Luna waving off their concern. She looked up at Paul. "Were you worried about me too Paul-y?"

Jake and Leah were holding in their laughter but Rika couldn't and giggled. I saw Seth get a look of pure contentment. His eyes would not leave Rika. He watched her jump on Luna's bed and greeted every one.

"Ohayo gozaimasu mina, I'm Rika" she waved (2 & 3)

"I'm Leah, that's Paul and this is my little brother Seth" Leah presented every one

"Oh yeah, I remember him. He froze yesterday…ne? Is he okay?" Rika waved a hand in front of his face.

I turned to Leah when I heard her chuckling. I turned to Jake to explain and he pulled me out of the room. "How come Seth always freezes when Rika talks to him?"

"Seth has imprinted on her"

"Imprint?" I asked not understanding

"Yes. It's like…like when wolves find their mate. The one person they are destined to be with for the rest of their lives" explained Jake

I couldn't get a hold of what Jake was telling me. How could they know who they were meant to be with and for the rest of their lives? Yet when I looked at Seth looking at Rika, I could see it. Seth looked at Rika with care with a look of love. Like Rika was the most important person in the world.

"Seth isn't the only one who has imprinted. Jared imprinted on this girl who sat next to him in school who had a crush on him" Jake chuckled

I looked over at Luna who was talking to Leah. It surprised me that Paul was even here. He and Luna didn't get along, they were always insulting each other. Yet he looked at Luna with a worried look on his face. I turned to Jake.

"Did Paul imprint on Luna?"

Jake looked at Paul and shook his head. "He's just worried about her. He thinks that Luna plays tough but is a person who is hurting inside…or something like that"

I thought the same thing. It would fit her profile very well. Leah sat down next to Luna as they kept talking. Rika kept trying to get Seth to talk and got a cracked and shy hello out of him. She giggled and sat him next to her sleeping bag.

"Hey Paul-y what stuck up your ass and died?" asked Luna smirking

Paul walked up to her and pulled her out of bed. He dragged her out of the room. Jake and I watched as he walked to the bathroom with Luna and closed the door. Leah and Rika peeked out of the room. Rika looked at me and giggled and Jake smirked. This should be interesting.

We all walked inside my room and waited in a very uncomfortable silence. That is until Seth got the courage and started asking Rika questions who answered them as quickly as she could.

"My favorite colors are red and green, my nee-chan says green looks good on me. I love a lot of movies so I can't pick one and I'm fifteen." smiled Rika at Seth "How old are you?"

"I'm fifteen and I like red too" said Seth like he was enchanted by Rika

"Fifteen, really? Cause you look super tall"

Seth and Rika kept talking before I heard my name being called. "Isabella can you call Luna down, we need to talk" asked Uncle Logan

I walked over to the bathroom and knocked loudly. "Luna, your dad wants to talk to you"

Luna quickly opened the door and came out. She looked flushed and was fixing her hair. Paul came out after her and was patting his hair down. I walked back to Jake trying to hide my blush. Luna walked down stairs and into the kitchen. I followed after her quietly. Rika walked passed me with Seth right behind her and crouched by the entrance.

"Luna I want you to go back with me to California" said uncle Logan

Luna looked over at Raven. I remembered that she couldn't leave Washington because of the deal she made with the police. I saw Raven nod once and Luna turned back to her dad. "I…I want to stay here dad. Here there's less chance I'll get in trouble. If I go back, I'll get back to my old habits"

I saw uncle Logan mule over this. I wanted Luna to go back to California. She would be safe there. There would be less of a chance that the Volturi would go looking for her there. Yet I wanted to keep an eye on her make sure that she was still alive and well.

"You're right. Its better you stay here and finish high school"

"Wise decision Luna. It goes to show you have matured" stated Raven

"Ne? Nee-chan, can I stay a few days and explore?" asked Rika popping her head inside the kitchen

"Can she please?" pleaded Seth

Rika looked over at Seth and smiled. "Onegai shimas nee-chan" (4)

They looked like two kids asking permission to go out and play. I saw Raven look over at Seth and analyze him before her eyes widen for just a second. She looked back at Rika and I could see a look of regret come over her.

"You can but you have to ask Charlie and Isabella for permission to stay in their house" stated Raven

"Swan-sama, may I please stay in your home for a few days?" Rika was standing a few feet away from Charlie bowing

"Of course kid, you and your sister will always be welcomed here" said Charlie ruffling her hair

"Arigato Swan-sama" said Rika bowing again before coming towards me

"You can stay Rika" I answered before you could ask me and hugged me

Rika told Seth to wait for her before she ran upstairs. Uncle Logan and Charlie left towards La Push to go and pay their respects toward Harry who had passed away while I was off saving Edward. Luna went over to change and quickly came down with Rika. Raven walked to the front door where the driver was waiting for her.

"I'm leaving right now, I'll send the driver with your things" said Raven "Don't cause trouble and don't get in trouble…both of you"

Rika and Luna saluted Raven. "Hai! Hai!" (5)

"Take care Isabella. It was nice meeting all of you" said Raven walking out to the truck, getting inside and leaving. Rika and Luna waved like crazy lunatics.

"How about we go to La Push? Red head can meet the rest of the gang" said Jake

I saw Rika nod but lightly kick Jake in the shin. She corrected him on her name before she pulled Seth out. Leah followed her brother and Luna followed her with Paul towering over her. I closed the door and Jake pulled me towards his car. Jake was in the drivers seat, Paul in the passenger and the rest of us in the back. Rika sat in Seth's lap which he seemed more than delighted. We drove all the way to Sam's house listening to the radio.

When we got out of the car Rika pulled Seth out and fell on the snow. She started making a snow angel and Seth followed suit. Luna took a couple of photos. I went over to sit on the porch of the house with Jake. Then a snow fight started. Jake and I watched as the rest of the boys came out and joined in. A girl stood with Emily and Sam behind us.

It was like this, it was going to be like this for a while. I knew that I would see Edward in school but I didn't want to worry about this right now. I wanted to enjoy this moment. Luna was fine, I was okay and every one was together and happy. I wanted this to last for as long as it could before I had to deal with myself, with my feelings.

The End...for now.
