Sorry, I haven't updated in a day -le gasp- and plus I left ya'll with a cliffy so… not fair to all of you. I'm just kinda pissed…. Long story with drama. Well anywho!
The girl who left me the anonymous review – not the "This story is crap" one, the other one- apologized so it's all good ^ ^ I have absolutely no hard feelings.
Oh and for some of you who thought Bella was OOC with their talk –cough- tdfireproof- cough- That's just how I imagined a Mother/Daughter conversation to go, I mean Bella is just like any other mother. I don't see how she wouldn't be intensely interested in Lizzy's life.
Lizzy POV
"Edward? What's going on?" He pulled me outside into the parking lot, Aunt Alice silently followed at a safe distance.
"Well, this morning, Alice said you're whole future disappeared; now do you see how that'd make me just a bit anxious?" He asked coldly.
"Ok well as you can see I'm fine now can I go back to class-?"
"Why do you reek of werewolf?" He asked suspiciously.
"Um…"
"Lizzy tell me now."
"Well, I go to La Push school, there is bound to be a werewolf here or there."
"No, you are drenched in their scent; I can barely smell your own anymore."
"And how am I supposed to know?"
He smelled me again, which made me slightly uncomfortable.
"I've never smelled this werewolf before… must be a new generation one."
"You see? Nothing to worry about."
"But the other students aren't soaking in his smell."
"And?"
He seemed focused on something suddenly; he growled under his breath and grabbed my arm. He started towing me to his Volvo.
"Edward where are we going?"
"Back to Forks. There's something that's happened and I don't know If you're ready for-"
"What's it about?"
"Werewolves."
"And imprinting?" That made him stop.
"What?"
"Does it have something to do with imprinting?"
"Lizzy. What do you know?"
Oh no way in hell I was thinking that. I sang the Canadian national anthem –which I was surprised I knew- in my head.
"Lizzy. Tell. Me."
"She doesn't have to tell you anything." Oh shit. Oh crap, I hope I've gone crazy, because that better not be Dean I'm hearing.
"You mongrel you don't have the right to order me around."
"But you don't have the right to order her around."
"You don't want to get mixed up with me." He growled.
"Oh please!" He snorted.
"WOULD YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP?!" I yelled, infuriated. They both thawed from their fighting positions and stared at me.
"You're both being idiots! Just stop it! Now Edward-" I turned to him. "You. Are. Over-reacting. I'm a big girl; I can take care of myself." Dean cut in.
"You know him?"
"You know him?" Edward asked.
"I KNOW BOTH OF YOU, NOW SHUT UP!"
Edward ignored me completely and turned to Dean. "Give me your story then I'll give you mine." I'm glad he could be reasonable. I saw Dean's face contort into an expression of disgust; I rested my hand on his shoulder and I muttered "it's alright". He closed his eyes; I guessed he was showing Edward his thoughts.
Edward was listening intently; I heard him growl once or twice, which wasn't a good sign. His head finally whipped up and he snarled viciously. Dean stood his ground and didn't move back; he actually moved closer to me, which Edward wasn't too happy about. He snarled and stood between us.
"Edward, stop!"
"How do you know him?" Dean asked me.
"I'll tell you later-"
"Don't talk to her like you own her!" Edward snapped.
"He's not-" I tried to protest.
"What's you say leech?"
"You heard me loud and clear dog."
Oh dammit, I didn't want a war to start over me, so I put my hands on both of their chests in an attempt to keep them apart.
"WILL YOU BOTH BE QUIET?" I shouted. "Now," I turned to Dean. "I will explain this all to you later. And Edward." I turned to him. " I will explain it to you later."
"I don't need explaining, I know exactly what's going on," Edward growled. "This flea-bag thinks he can just claim you as his own, I won't let him do that."
"You and I both know that's not the definition of imprinting!" I contradicted.
"It's definition enough!" He replied. Throughout Edward and my little argument Dean's growls never stifled.
"I'm not a child Edward!"
"But Lizzy, he's only worried about you're safety." Aunt Alice finally spoke up.
"He's over-reacting!"
"Lizzy, you don't know what you're getting yourself into-" Edward tried to calm me.
"I knew exactly what I'm getting myself into!"
"Werewolves are very unstable-"
"Oh cut the crap! You just can't stand the fact that maybe I'm not as naive as you'd like me to be!"
"That's so far from the truth it's not even funny-" He tried to dismiss the idea.
"Then why?!"
"Because I don't want you to get hurt."
"That may be true but you can't keep me from living I'm almost fourteen!"
"You're only almost fourteen!"
"That's plenty old enough!"
"I can hardly agree."
"Then how come Dean imprinted so young if we weren't meant for each other?"
Edward looked a little mad that I'd let that slip. "I don't know what's going on with the wolf genes, but you will not be bound to someone so young! You can't honestly tell me you're ready to have your whole life already planned, because accepting this imprinting means that!"
"I like having my life like this."
"Maybe for now but your just a child, Lizzy, a child! You can't possibly have gained enough perspective to know what you want! You're just confused!"
"I'm not confused about anything! And who are you to tell me I haven't gained enough perspective? I have been through so much I'm not even sure you've completely digested how many times I've been hurt. How many nights I've spent just enduring Jacob's merciless rath, how many times I wanted to cry but didn't, how many times I've wished I were dead! You know nothing about what I want Edward, even if you are a mind reader!" That hurt him a bit, I say him stumble back a bit as I stepped forward with every sentence.
"Lizzy, you are being so absurd, I will not allow this!"
"Who are you to give that kind of order? No matter how much you want it to be true, you are not my father! You can't order me around! I know enough about this world to make my own decision and that decision is to be with Dean! Now if you'll excuse us," I grabbed Dean's hand. "We have to get to class."
I dragged Dean back to the building and was pleased when neither Edward nor Aunt Alice followed.
When we made it into the cover of the hallway, Dean pulled me into a janitor's closet. When the door clicked shut, it was pitch black.
"Lizzy, I'm about to explode with curiosity- how do you know him? And," I felt his hands come on my shoulders. "I don't want it to seem like I think I own you, because I don't know one can own you." I blushed, and I was sure he could see it with his werewolf sight.
"Well it's a long story…" I then told him about the story Mom told me and how I went up against the whole pack to protect Edward, and also the extreme guilt I felt when I remembered that I told him he wasn't my father. He listened silently throughout the long tale.
At the end I sighed and closed my eyes; I felt his arms wrap around me and I sobbed into his shoulder, he rubbed my shoulder silently and let me ruin his shirt.
What do you guys think of this chapter? Lala… I'm also kind of bored…. So reviews would be nice! :D
