A/N: So, I'm bad... I know. I hadn't updated in like a long time, and here you guys are waiting for the next chapter to come. This isn't as long as I would like it to be... but it's a great little filler. I hope you guys like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own these characters except for Shane. Shane is mine... hahaha. Okay I'm going to stop.
Confrontations
BPOV
"They're keeping a close eye on us." Alice says as she sits down at the lunch table. I didn't need my precognition sister to know that. I can just smell those disgustingwolves from afar.
"Their sent is everywhere that's fair game." Jasper growls and sits down beside Alice. I can feel Edward tense up beside me. I grabhis hand and move his chin so he can look at me. His eyes look worry-filled.
"Everything will be okay. No need to be worried, okay?" I try to allay some of his edginess, but I'm not sure it's working. It's frustrating not knowing what he's thinking. Sometimes, I can read what he's feeling through his eyes, but even they can be deceiving at times.He nods and looks down at his untouched food.I can see him clenchhis fist.
"Why are they surrounding us? I mean, you haven't broken the treaty. It's not right!" Edward slams his fist down on the table. Everyone at the table jumps. He continues, "I'm still a human, and I will be one for a while. So, why don't they just mind their own damnbusiness."
Alice, Jasper and I stare at him in awe. Never have we seen him so... angry. Alice looks at me. She sends me a picture of Edward walking out of the school and disappearing. I gasp and turn towards him.
"Don't even think about it." I look at Edward with force. "If you go out there, it could be dangerous. They're young and easily angered. There's no telling what will happen."
"But it's so ridiculous! They're acting like children..."
"That's exactly what they are! Edward please... do as I say, and don't confront them." I plead with him, trying to unleash my charm. Edward looks like he's starting to cave...
"Don't confront who?" Shane asks as he takes a seat at our table. Edward breaks from my eyes to look at Shane. I silently curse Shane for coming at the wrong time, and silently thank him for, hopefully, getting the topic off of Edward's head for awhile.
"No one." Alice replies calmly. Sorry, the wolves are messing up my visions. Alice responds to my look I give her.
Why didn't I hear Shane coming?
You were probably too overwhelmed with the wolve's thoughts. Alice replies. I ponder that. That's true, ever since they've been hanging around the Fork's "safe" areas they're thoughts have been clogging up my mind and it sometimes drowns out the important thoughts.
"Okay." Shane shrugs as he takes a bite out of his sandwich. "So, Edward, Bella, have you two picked a date?"
Angela sits down with Ben. "Shane, you're acting like a girl." She chuckles. "But, do you?"
"Yes, sometime in June." I reply.
"That soon after graduation?" Angela raises her eyebrows. I look over at Alice who is beaming to answer the question. Edward smiles and grabs my hand. The wolf subject is totally off of his mind now.
"If I had it my way... We'd be married now." Edward says and kisses my cheek. I roll my eyes as Angela starts to giggle.
"But, I said that we should wait until after we graduate... and it gives Alice more time to plan the wedding, I suppose." Alice bounces in her chair. Angela looks at Alice and smiles.
"If you need any help..." Angela starts to say and I cut her off before she signs her life away to the pixie.
"Angela, I wouldn't say that if I were you. Besides, I think Alice has everything under control, don't you?" Alice frowns and smiles quickly before the humans can notice. Angela giggles some more before turning her attention to her food. Such sweet people... how did they become my friends?
I smile to myself. Edward looks at me with sparkles in his green eyes. It pains me to know that they won't be the same color when he changes.
EPOV
The conversation about the werewolves ceases when Shane and the others join us at the table. I just want to go out there myself and tell them to shove off. But, I promised Bella that I wouldn't go out there. I feel so helpless, so weak. Why can't I do anything? I want to be scary, I want to scare those damn wolves out of Forks.
I want to be a vampire.
And I'll be one soon... The wedding can't come any faster! I want to be able to defend my fiancee, not have her defend me. I'm the man, I should be able to do this!
"Edward?" Bella's voice calls me out of my thoughts. I look up at my beautiful fiancee and smile. She smiles back, but her eyes are full of worry. "Edward, why don't we head to class early?"
I nod, knowing that she wants to continue talking about the topic we were discussing before. We both get up and dump our tray in to the trash.
"Bye, love birds!" Shane calls from the table. Bella turns her head and sticks her tongue out at him and links her arm with mine as we walk out of the cafeteria. She stops at the steps and takes a seat. I sit down beside her.
"They, the wolves,can hear us out here, but I don't care. Edward, Alice keeps sending me visions of you confronting the wolves. I know you promised that you wouldn't, I'm just worried that you'll find yourself doing it on accident. Please, please, don't do anything... this has nothing to do with you-"
"It has everything to do with me, Bella, and you know that!" I am taken aback. "Had the La Push pack not have found out that I was engaged to you, a Cullen, a vampire, then they wouldn't have done anything." They wouldn't be here, keeping a close eye on the Cullens to make sure that they don't break the treaty.
Bella sighs and her face drops in to her hands so fast that I jump. "Edward, how were you supposed to know that the wolves would be at the beach? You did nothing wrong, okay? This is their job, they're supposed to keep the treaty intact, and they are."
She looks up at me and tries to smile. It doesn't reach her eyes and I can tell that I'm causing her pain. "I'm sorry, love. I promise, I won't do anything. Okay?"
"There's no need to apologize, darling." She says and kisses me. "I love you."
"I love you, too." I kiss her back. I can feel her freeze against my lips and she pulls back quickly, hissing.
"Ugh, sickening." A deep voice says behind me. I turn around. My muscles tighten and my jaws clench together. "Edward, do yourself a favor and marry someone in your own species."
I feel a deep growl come out of my chest before I leap at the deep russet-skinned boy in front of me.
"EDWARD NO!"
A/N: Cliffy! Haha. I'm sorry, I know I'm evil. I'm not really sure when's the next time I'm going to update, so I'm not going to make any promises and say that it'll be updated with in a week or anything. NANO starts next Saturday... and Spirit Week is this week at my school, so I'm going to be preoccupied. Gah.
I think there's going to be like five or six more chapters left of THIS story and then the sequel will get started up. Don't worry, things will start making sense... Hopefully.
Oh and I would like to personally thank EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY READERS (even you don't leave reviews) for staying with my story even when I don't update as much as I used to. You guys are awesome and very faithful, and I'm so grateful for that.
