A/N: Hey readers! Sorry for the late update. I've been so caught up with my other stories. Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 21: Crime Solved
Life seemed crapped at home while Charlie and the wolves hunted down the vampires that were coming after Emily and me. Edward and the other Cullens were always on watch while the Wolves rested. Emily and I felt so cramped inside my father's house. While Sam and Charlie were at the station, Alice and Esme sat in with us and we watched my entire collection of DVDs twice in a row. After the third viewing of Sleepless in Seattle, I wanted to scream my lungs out! How many times can one girl cry over a guy? I mean come on! Sure I cried over Edward leaving but I got over it with Jake's help, I couldn't be happier with my life now.
"Bella? Are listening to me at all?" came Alice's voice as we sat on the couch watching Titanic for the third time in a row.
"Huh? What?" I said coming out of my trance.
"I said; how long do you think it will take Charlie and the Mutts to catch these Vampires?" she repeated. I clenched my teeth at the sound of 'mutts' I hated it when she called them that.
"Alice," Esme warned. She knew me too well.
"Thanks Esme," I gave her a small thankful smile which she gladly returned.
Turning back to the TV, I caught a quick glint of Alice pocking her tongue out at me. Esme elbowed her in the shoulder. I was so glad that Vampires didn't feel pain. I smiled as I returned my eyes fully to the scene in front of me. Rose, the main heroine of the film, was about to commit suicide. It reminded me so much of me jumping off the cliff in La Push when I had been hallucinating about Edward. Oh good, Leo saved her! What a hunk! I thought.
"You know what I don't get?" Alice asked making Esme and I turn towards her. "The fact that she's from the highest class in society in England and he's from the lowest class known in America at that time," Alice paused allowing me to get a word in.
"So?" I asked.
"So, wouldn't the higher class try to keep them apart?"
Esme and I looked at each other. We had seen this film so many times, that Alice should have known this film off by heart.
"Many of them did at that time but remember that the Titanic sinking is real when the events surrounding the characters aren't real," Esme mused.
"But there are some people who were for the relationship and didn't judge them, like Molly Brown for instance," I added quickly knowing that Alice would cut me off.
Esme nodded in agreement. "Molly wasn't born into the higher class, from what I remember she married into the class or something like that," she added.
Alice remained mute. She knew that she couldn't argue with Esme on that. There was a sudden knock on the door.
"I'll get it," I said jumping up from my place on the couch.
"Hurry back," Alice called.
I placed my hand on the doorknob not even bothering to look through the peep hole. Standing there was a wet and soaking Jacob and Seth. I stepped aside so that they could enter.
"Are they here?" Jacob hissed.
"We heard that mutt!" Alice snarled.
I turned my head to see Esme standing at Alice's side with a hand on her shoulder. "Easy Alice," Esme warned.
"We have some news," Seth said, his eyes wide with happiness.
"What news?" I asked allowing my eyebrows to raise slightly. There was a creak from the stairs; we all knew that Emily had come down from awakening from her midday nap. Her baby was making her tired as of late.
"We caught the leeches hunting you and you may be surprise you caught them," Seth told us. If he were in wolf form his tail would be wagging for sure.
"Who caught them?" Emily asked from the stairs, her hand on her bulged belly.
"That dumb blonde, what was her name?" Jacob said, his teeth still barred.
"Rosalie?" Emily, Esme and I said in unison.
"Yep," Seth smiled. "Charlie wants to see you Bells right away,"
"What about me?" Emily asked.
"You too but he told us to tell you that he'll talk to you when he gets home this evening,"
"No, I'll be fine, Esme could you-?" Esme helped Emily down the stairs while I grabbed my keys from the kitchen. Jake had gone to sit in the Rabbit, clearly he couldn't put up with Esme and Alice's 'smell'. Seth wasn't complaining, he was good friends with all the Cullens including Rosalie and Jasper. Jacob was still worried that Edward might want me back. That was why he still held a grudge against all the Cullens.
Esme helped Emily into the truck and I started the engine before following Jake down the street. Seth rode with Emily and I but in the tray of the truck. He really shouldn't have done that but since very few cops came into this part of Forks, he was okay. Esme and Alice followed us in the yellow Porsche that Edward that gotten her for Christmas. Half her luck.
Reaching the Police Station, Sam met us as we climbed out of the cabin of the truck.
"I thought Charlie instructed that Emily stay at your place," Sam turned to speak to me.
"You know I'm not one to follow rules," Emily said as she shut her door behind her.
"Since when?" Jared asked coming to stand next Sam.
"Since Jacob imprinted on Bella," she smiled before turning her head to face me.
"I haven't noticed a change," Sam said in apparent shock.
Emily smirked before returning her eyes back to her husband. Her eyes faltered when the Station door opened and Charlie emerged with a rather pleased expression plastered on his face.
"Hey Bella, Emily," he greeted.
"Hi dad," I smiled.
"Hey Charlie," said Emily.
"I think you know the situation," Charlie crossed his arms across his chest.
"That about the Vampires?" Seth asked.
"Rosalie and Emmett destroyed them," Paul said. I had never seen him happy to work with a Vampire before. It was a bit odd. "They were awesome!" he said with a smile.
"Paul, is it just me or have you completely lost your mind?" Jacob said rolling his eyes.
"No, I actually like seeing leeches rip each other apart," Paul said lazily smiling.
Esme was shaking her head. She had the same feelings about the insults as I did but they couldn't simply be ignored. Vampires and Werewolves had always been enemies, well ever since the treaty was signed.
"Well I suppose the worst is over, party at Billy's?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah!" cried the wolves.
Emily, Esme, Alice and I shook our heads. The worst was over.
