Shouting is what woke my woman up. She shot up and groaned as she placed her head, in her hands. She past out, as I lay her on the couch focused on. Nothing else or hearing anything else but the woman that now owns my heart, body and soul.
"Babe?" I question her. Her head shoots up, hearing the sound of my voice and stares at me in shock, where I kneel down beside her. I'd jumped off the arm of the couch when she first woke up. Bella reached out to touch me.
"I didn't dream everything, that happened today did i?" She asked cupping my cheek. I lean into her touch and kiss the palm of her hand.
No babe. I tell her telepathically.
How long have I been out? She asks, neither of us speaking. Content in our telepathic bubble.
About an hour babe. It took Paul, Jared and Harry for Charlie to leave. He made Paul so angry, that he phased, in front of him and Charlie shot him.
Bella's eyes widened in shock.
Is he okay? I can't believe Charlie did that... shock or not. Paul didn't deserve to be shot at!
He's fine babe. Thanks to our skin healing quickly Harry took him to Sue's clinic in town; where she was waiting for them to remove for the bullet before the skin healed over it, as it got a little stuck in the muscle of his arm. He's fine now though. That was half an hour ago. Charlie was more shocked when he suddenly had a naked Paul cursing at him, on the ground suddenly, more than the gigantic wolf snarling at him, for his insults! Billy was so angry he's banned Charlie from stepping foot on the res. He said he can see you, when you have school if you want to see him. But otherwise your staying hear, with him or unbeknown to Charlie at my place. Which ever you feel comfortable with!
With you... she said shyly. I leaned into kiss her on, the lips. Bella's hands found themselves in my hair.
Later. I whispered through our telepathic link, when our kiss turned passionate. I helped Bella stand up, and we re-entered the kitchen. Our hands entwined, with Bella's other hand on my arm, that has our hands linked. She's very nervous!
I was really out that long? And all that happened in the space of an hour? She asks.
Yes, babe. When we enter it's just Quil and Billy. I raised an eyebrow, as we sit down opposite them.
"Would either of you like anything to drink?" Billy asks us. Bella asks for a cup of strong tea, which Billy gets up and makes. I noticed Quil is looking at my woman again with the same intense curiosity as before she fainted, overloaded, and overly with all the changes and information in a short space of times. I shoot him an annoyed look too.
"What is it?" I ask him.
"Cool if, Alpha. Just an old man's curiosity. The three Kings will be coming from Italy at the end of March, so that gives us a few weeks to prepare. They keep changing there plans, so the pixie bitch can't see the exact date or time frame of them arriving until they reach the Cullen's house. It's a good middle ground."
"I see..." I said through tight lips.
"Why do I get the feeling you like these... Kings more than the Cullen's themselves?" I ask. Bella was thinking the same thing, so I said it out loud.
"Because they are more tollersble and think more along the same lines as us." Billy answered. Shock would be a fucking understatement!
"Seriously? Will you quit looking at my woman like she's some kind of fascinating science experiment?" I growl at Old Quil, seriously annoyed. Bella was quietly sipping on her tea, trying her best to ignore him, even though it was making her uncomfortable.
"Quil!" Billy warned in a sharp tone.
"Sorry, I can't help it. You know!" He said pointedly looking Billy directly in the eyes. The two had some sort of silent stare down.
"You know that's impossible." Billy said after a while.
"Is it? We can shift into wolves, they exist, other things are possibly out there that we have yet to come across. Why is it an impossibility?" Quil mused, partly to himself, even though they he said it out loud for us all to hear.
"I don't believe it, why would it do that?" Billy asked. It felt like we are watching a tennis match.
"It did a lot at the time, which is why it ended!"
"What the bloody fuck, are you two on about? All this cryptic bullshit is getting on my nerves." I finally had enough of it, because othing made sense! The two of them turned to stare at me in shock. I swear they both jumped a little bit.
"Sorry." They both grumbled.
"If where done... I'm going take Bella home. She decided to stay with me." I tell them. "And quite frankly with everything going on, I'm glad it's worked out this way. Don't bother disturbing us for the rest of the weekend. Jared and Paul can pair up and patrol together.
"That field you where in..." Billy hesitated.
"Go on?" I say.
"When you both where in the living room, we have heard of it before, after some back and forth we recognised what you described and I believe it to be a magical place." I almost said no shit Sherlock.
"That's what we felt." Bella said quietly. "Like tingles running across your skin, that isn't the goosebump kind, and an unknown element swirling around us, a warm glow, warmer than before, when Laurent was there. Like the magic of the place faded but came back when He vacated its grounds:" She explained.
"What she said." I agreed, because it's true.
"I believe you two have been blessed by the spirits and touched by magic." Quil said quietly.
"Was about to say the same thing." Billy said.
"I don't think you should be left alone when you add in Forks, Bella. Sam, so you think Paul would want to go back into education and complete his last year, so he can one hundred percent qualify, to get the grades he needs to work as a mechanic officially? But instead did La Push, attend Forks high with Bella? So she's protected." I shake my head.
"I'm not sure about Paul but I know Jarred is itching to get way from Kim." He said.
"I'll speak to the pair of them tomorrow."
"Why do I need security? Can't I just transfer to La Push? That way I'll be closer to Sam." She had a point. Billy shook his head!
"Sorry Bella, but because you aren't a native of La Push or Mhaka tribe, then unfortunately you won't be accepted. It's just something we've been doing, since for as long as I can remember." He said.
"Oh." She said, "I don't want to cause problems for Jared or Paul, just because of my previous, unfortunate involvement with the Cullen's." She said. I wrap my arm tight around her waist!
"Your safety is important to me, and by extension the pack. I don't think Jared will hesitate, he's a grown ass wolf and Kim's his high school girlfriend, who still acts like a brat. Where as due to phasing, he's matured and is finding it hard to cut ties with her, this will be a perfect opportunity for him."
"As long as he want's too..." she said shyly.
"He will, trust me." I then turn to Billy and Quil, who was watching us again, with the same annoying curiosity, that old Quil was showing Bella before.
"Are we done now?" I ask.
"For now. Yes! I'll let you know if there's any changes with Aro." Something triggered in Bella's memory, as he said this.
"Alice can only see, when people make a final decision. They used to panic when I would visit Jake, because they can't see me hear. I'm guessing because of your presence Billy! Perhaps that is why they thought I'd died? My path in life changed when I met Sam in the clearing?" She wondered.
"I'll give Aro a call in case he isn't aware of this new information. You both can leave if you wish too." Billy told us, dismissing us basically. I rose as did Bella, saying our goodbyes, whilst we did so. As we are walking down Billy's drive, in the moonlight I turn to my mate and telepathically spoke to her.
Ready to begin forever babe?
What do you all think, is up with Old Quil and Billy?
Would love to hear your theories?
