"..i am confused. You are her mate?" she asked as she looked at Jacob "but I thought that Cullen boy was her mate. Do you share her?"
The sounds of growls and a hiss had sculpia stepping back in confusion.
"Watch your tongue witch!" Jacob growled
".. I am sorry I am just confused," Sculpia replied
Bella put her hand up for everyone to be silent.
"I am sorry for the confusion sculpia. The man you see before you is my mate. We are mated. Edward Cullen is not my mate and we are no longer in a relationship. Which makes your visit even more confusing. What were your intentions?"
"…my mate…he has a fascination with you…your shield and he was originally going to send someone to come look on you and Edward to see if you had been changed yet. While I had never met you..i heard your heartbeat in the castle all those years ago and it reminded me of myself. I was a human when I met aro… after years of dating. He changed me and I became his mate but then and even now I realized I missed out. My human life was worth living and gave it all up for him. I originally came to warn you. I had hoped you were still human and wanted to persuade you not to join this lifestyle but now I see that you are still human and mated to a wonderful man. You are with child as well… I see…I have a request. If I may?"
Bella nodded, wanting to hear more of what sculpia was saying
"..your humanity is precious but aro nor his brothers will value that. One of our laws was broken and it deserves punishment. He will come after you and the ones who didn't not change you." She told her "so I am asking to stay on these lands until that time comes. Emmet has been informing me of your mate's pack and I wish to fight on your side. Two vampires are better then one."
Bella looked towards Jacob.
"The Cullen's will be returning soon. Since this was their fault from the beginning. My plan was for you to stay with them and we would move forward from their…however you being here might be beneficial… you stay on the outskirts by the water. Be my eyes and ears. Report back to me every morning. "Jacob said as he looked at her intently
Sculpia bowed her head and nodded. A sign of submission.
"..Alright..emmet alert us when the Cullen's have arrived. Keep your thoughts on lock down as best as you can."
The two vampires craned their neck in submission.
"go." Jacob ordered
"doesn't it ever get weird seeing them submit like that?" he heard paul ask
"my wolf and I actually enjoy it." Jacob said casually
"as much as im loving this conversation..i would love to go eat. Dad ordered pizza and invited us over..can we please go now!" bella whined
"someone's got a fresh batch of hormones!" Paul sang
"yes I do! now lets get some food!" bella growled
With that said Jacob took Bella's hand as they headed back towards home. It was going to be a long week.
Emmet stopped on the edge as he watched the waves. Scully sat next to him.
"She is special...I see why you left your coven to protect her. Do you miss them?" she asked
Emmet cocked his head to the side said "…The Cullen coven is all I've known. They are my family but ..being away from them for so long has truly given me an eye opening experience. I am doing something bigger than myself. And for once I'm not surrounded by gifted people. By the way... I like being around you. I've always been around people who were like me. I never get to experience…other vampires."
Sculpia smiled.
"I can relate . I have always been in the volturi…I've seen many different vampires but not like you. Or even those supernatural wolves. You work so well togather… I wish.. I wish I had met you before aro."
Emmet knew that if sculpia was human she be blushing right now. He however didn't know what to say. Rosalie was all he had known. Carsile had sired them both…so if he wanted to move or break things off it would shatter their coven. But..what if he could take a chance.. learn to love someone else. Learn to love over time and not just thrown in after the change like he had been with rose.
Emmet shook his head. He couldn't think this way.
"...I'm going to go patrol. See you later." He said awkwardly
Sculpia nodded but he could see the hurt and confusion on her face.
He ignored it.
Jacob watched the scene unfold from the woods. No matter how friendly they seemed he could never truly trust a cold one especially sculpia. this was a test. if she failed. he would rip her to shreds.
