A/N~ Hey guys! No more reviews or anything else :',(, but I'm going to upload anyways. I may not upload any more today though, because I am trying to finish up one chapter on my novel I'm writing, but I'll try for those of you who want it.
Tell me what you think! Or if you just want to say hi. I'd love it all the same. Here's chapter 4!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM IT.
Icy Mist Chapter 4
"Bye, Dad. It's not like we're going across the nation," I said into my father's chest. He was so upset that we had to leave, but we had to. There was no other option.
Jacob was extremely upset as well. But we had told him the morning after that family meeting, six months ago. I had officially become a vampire ten months ago, so while I could go to school, my newborn strength was wearing off. Jasper and I had started to fall into the two week schedule, and he was always on the edge.
I felt bad for him. I mean, Jasper was definitely getting better at controlling his thirst, but I'm pretty sure that's just because of what Edward had told me a long time ago about Jasper feeling like he was just looking at thirst wrong.
"I'm just gonna miss you, Bells. Stay close. I don't want to lose you again," Charlie said. I winced out of his embrace at the thought of what had happened. I really wanted to tell Charlie the truth about us, but the only way I could do that was if Charlie was made a tribe leader down at La Push.
I guess I should talk to Jake about that, because I wanted to talk to my best friend before talking to my best friend's father.
I walked out the door, waved to Charlie, and said, "Tell Sue I said thanks," (I really think that Sue and Charlie were going to end up together, especially after how she takes care of him for hours at a time before going home) before I hopped into my Ferrari. Alice was in her yellow Porsche, Edward in his Volvo with Renesmee, Emmett in his Jeep, Rose in her BMW, Carlisle and Esme in his Mercedes, and Jasper was on his bike. At the speed we all drove, we would be in Portland in about two hours.
Carlisle pulled out of the forks driveway, after a quick wave to Charlie and the Forks house (we would see it again in about fifty to seventy-five years) and pulled out of the driveway. Alice quickly followed and I was soon after, with Emmett right behind me.
Once we all got onto the highway, we sped up to about one hundred thirty-five miles per hour. The only time we almost got caught, Edward had rolled down his window and told us that a cop was near. Then we were all fine.
~two hours later~
After everyone had excited their cars, I went and grabbed Renesmee.
"Are you excited?" I asked her. We had decided we would enroll Renesmee in school, but we were going to aim high just in case she woke up looking like a first grader. Kindergarten seemed good, because Renesmee was about the size of a three year old right now.
Renesmee put her hand on my cheek. She showed me visions of Edward and I holding hands with her in the cafeteria. The picture was rimmed around the edges with one question. Why not?
We had told my daughter that she couldn't go to school with the rest of us, and while we were around other people, she had to call Esme and Carlisle 'Mom' and 'Dad'. She had protested and said that I was her mom, but after a while of explaining she had understood. But she still wanted to go to school with all of us, which caused me to explain the difference between high school, elementary school, preschool, and middle school (shudder; the land of acne and hormones).
Renesmee had said she understood, but stop her from asking as much as she could.
"Silly girl," I whispered, tickling her tummy.
"Mommy, stop! I can't breathe!" she laughed, tears in her eyes.
"What are you trying to do? Tickle my niece to death?" Emmett walked over to us.
"I will if she doesn't stop asking me the same question over and over again," I answered, handing Renesmee over to Emmett's outstretched arms.
"Let's get you out of here before you mama does something she regrets," Emmett said, running over to Jasper. Just then Alice and Rose came over to me.
"Sorry we didn't get you and Edward you own house; It's just less conspicuous when we all live in the same house," Rosalie said.
"Yet it's not conspicuous that all the couples live in one room together? With one bed?" I asked.
Alice rolled her eyes at me. "It's not like anyone is going to be coming into our house," she said, but then she gasped. "Or maybe they will," she said weakly.
Jasper was next to us instantly. "Alice, what do you see?"
"Someone driving here. It think it's Carlisle's boss's family, but another decision could make it the principal from our new school. I don't know how they connect, but I know they do.
"Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Emmett," Rose called. They all came running at the sound of their names. "We have company."
"It's definitely Carlisle's boss. And he'll be here in eleven minutes and thirty seven seconds," Alice chirped cheerfully.
"Where's Renesmee?" I asked suddenly. She was no where to be found.
"She, uh, fell asleep. I put her to bed... inside the house," Emmett said. Rose turned to look at him and repeatedly punched his arms.
"Emmett... Cullen... How... Dare... You!" Rosalie said in between punches. We had all agreed to look at the house all at the same time, even though we had all seen it online, and Emmett had gone inside, along with Renesmee. Meanwhile, I had not even looked at the outside of it.
"I'm sorry. But poor Nessie looked so peaceful-" Rose cut him off.
"Oh don't play that crap on us. Just say you sorry and shut your mouth," she said.
"Guys, get your acts together and stop fighting," I said. I was so done with them. Emmett and Rose fought so much that I couldn't understand how they were mates. "Alice?"
"They found a short cut. Their family will be here in twenty seconds," Alice said happily. I guess she was really excited about something.
A black minivan pulled up into our driveway, while I forced myself to look at our new home, and gasped. It was almost the exact same replica as the one in Forks, except prettier. Around the front there was a band of large oak trees to hide the windows of the house and their was a small pond next to the house. I hoped that we could turn that into a pool eventually for Renesmee.
Overall, between the green grass and white house, it was gorgeous. I only hopped that everyone else felt the same way. But unfortunately I couldn't ask, because our visitors had just stepped out of their car.
There was a middle-age looking man, standing next to his middle-age looking wife. They had two teenage children, one girl, and one boy.
"Hello," Carlisle said genuinely. "Welcome to our home."
The man looked apologetic. "I'm sorry to spring our arrival upon you, especially after you have just got here, but we just wanted to welcome you. You are a wonderful addition to our hospital," he said. "My name is Jackson Suká for those of you who don't know, and this is my wife Nina. This is my daughter Angel, and my son Luke," Jackson said, gesturing to his family.
"It's really alright," Carlisle said, addressing Jackson's earlier statement. Nina was huddled around Jackson, looking very shy. "As you know, I'm Carlisle, and this is my wife Esme. And these are my children, Edward and Emmett, Jasper and Alice, and Bella and Rosalie."
Luke was now staring wide-eyed at Rosalie and I, his eyes switching back and forth, like he couldn't decide who to hit on. I was surprised at this; Luke really looked like a person who would like Alice. Angel, however, was staring at my Edward with love-struck eyes. I felt a growl rumble low in my throat, and Rosalie put a hand on my shoulder.
"You'll get used to it," she said so low and fast that no human could have heard her. I gave her a thankful nod, but I was still upset.
Then Edward said suddenly, with a tone and speed the same as Rosalie's, "They're here because they want to be friends. Nina is going to force Angel and Mike to be friends with us and invite us to everything, because they really like Carlisle.
"That means parties and sleepovers!" Alice squealed. Unfortunately, when Alice gets excited, it's really loud. So out of no where (to them), Alice squealed. Ah, we were getting a great new start here in Portland.
Luke, still staring at Rosalie and I, shot Alice a look, then went back to ogling at Rose and I. I cleared my throat loudly and laughed a bit.
"So, how much does Portland rain?" I asked, staring directly at Luke, and using my seductive voice. It sounded like singing, so I'm sure he felt very invited. I wasn't usually one to play around, but I liked this part of being a vampire. I was attractive.
I tried to make my golden eyes smolder, like Edward does to dazzle me, and Luke's eyes glazed over, his heart racing. That was when I got an actual look at him. Luke had brown hair and electric blue eyes, with a tan face and elongated body. He was not my type, but other people would for sure find him handsome. My type was one person and one person only: Edward. I was sure he knew that, but I heard him snarl quietly.
"A... a lot. We ha-have rain probably six days... I mean, six days a week on average," Luke stuttered out. His attention was now fully on me, and Rosalie was free. She huffed with disappointment, but I guess that's just because that's because she was used to getting all the attention. I was surprised when he did so because I hardly deserved the attention. I was definitely not even as close to as pretty as Rosalie, but I think I was neck-in-neck with Esme and Alice. I fully had expected all male boys to go after Rose, but I guess maybe Luke liked brunettes.
"That's good," I said, hardly even realizing what I had said before it slipped out. But Luke was too far gone to notice. He took a step towards me, but I took one back, drawing a line. That was when he snapped out of his daze, and fully focused his attention on Jackson and Carlisle, who had there attention focused on us. Jackson looked proud, for whatever reason, and Carlisle just looked amused, laughter in his eyes.
I looked back at Edward, and he looked hurt. I couldn't say anything to him, with all the human eyes on me, but I tried for the fourth time since I had became a vampire to lift my shield. Every time I did so I just about cried impossible tears, but for Edward I would do it. I lifted it as much as I could, and showed him all of our memories.
Then I thought the most three important words at this moment: I love you. Edward looked pleased, so I hoped I was forgiven. God, I loved my husband so much. He walked over to me and enveloped me into his arms. Yep, I was definitely forgiven.
Meanwhile, Jackson had been talking, but I only had tuned in just now. "...just wanted to give you these brownies in welcome." Esme took the brownies and smiled a warm thank you, even though we wouldn't be able to eat them. Renesmee would enjoy them though.
I looked back at Luke. He looked very irritated at Edward and I's embrace, but he would have to get used to it. I did feel sorry about playing with him, but I liked that I could have that effect on people. Rose had gone over to Emmett and wrapped an arm around his waist, and Angel looked irritated as well, although she was trying harder to cover it up. At least she had some decency.
"Angel here is in the cheer squad, so if anyone of you girls want to join she could probably get you in," Jackson said. "She's a sophomore, and Luke is a junior."
I wanted to be in the same grade as Edward, even though I was the same age as Rosalie, Em, and Jasper, so we had to have Alice look into the future to see if any problems arouse. None did, so they had enrolled me into sophomore year along with Alice and Edward, and Jasper, Emmett, and Rose had gone into junior. I had taken the name Hale along with Rosalie and Jazz, so it wouldn't be awkward that Edward and I together. Jasper, Rosalie, and I still went by Cullen at home, but we couldn't display that publicly.
The story was that Jasper and Rose were twins, Emmett, Edward, and Alice were all adopted, and I was a little sister to Jasper and Rosalie. Carlisle had said that it wasn't that hard to believe, speaking that I 'looked like Rose', and no one inquired it so far.
The Suká's all went back into their black minivan and drove off. "Later," I told Edward, "You have to tell me what they were thinking."
"Okay," he complied.
It was going to be quite a long year.
