Chapter 5: What to Do?
Bella's POV-
I looked down at Lizzy, she was now asleep on the couch. "I'm so sorry." I mumbled under my breath and Edward came to sit next to me.
"Sister like sister." He smiled and I knew what he meant. The last time something like this happened it was with me and a little paper cut. "Carlisle said she should be fine after some sleep."
"Good." I brushed strands of hair out of her face and she cuddled into my side. "So what should we tell her? I mean… we can't… she's so young… and… and…" I was starting to panic again. I just got my only sister into a vampire war, what a sister am I?
"Bella calm down. We'll let her ask first and then we'll decide what to tell her." Edward seemed to call about this.
"Edward is Victoria really back?"
"Yes Alice saw her maybe a few miles back but then she jumped into the reservation."
"Oh, I bet Jacob is going after her."
"Yep."
"Edward I'm scared. Scared you, Lizzy, Jacob, everyone is going to get hurt." I cried leaning into his shoulder.
"No it's not your fault. You and Lizzy are a part of the family and I won't let anyone hurt ether of you." Edward looked into my eyes.
"I trust you…" I leaned in and we shared a small kiss.
"Um…" I looked up to see Jasper and Alice standing in the door way. "Sorry to interrupt but there's someone to see you."
"Who?" I asked and I looked to see Edward's face twitch in annoyance. "Never mind, by your expressions I'm guessing it's Jacob."
"He wants to know if you're ok. He smelt Lizzy's blood, he thinks your hurt." Edward looked down at Lizzy who was now clinging to his shirt. "I'll stay with her, you go. He wants to kill me any way."
"Thanks." I got up and walked down the stairs. Now I guess I got to explain to Jacob I have a sister. Hope this goes well.
As I reached the deck I saw Jacob sigh in relief. He ran up to the edge of the stairs and smiled.
"I'm so glad you're not hurt, Bella. I thought I was going to have to break the treaty."
"Nope I'm ok." I smiled weakly.
"So who got hurt? I mean the blood… is someone else here?" Jake looked around.
"Well that's a long story. Can I explain it later? Like tonight or next weekend?"
"Bella?" Jacob looked annoyed.
"Please Jake. Listen to me. I'll come over tonight and I'll explain everything."
I looked back at the house, I didn't want Lizzy to wake up alone.
"I have to go Jake. I'll be over to night. Please go home." He nodded, obviously annoyed, and ran home. As soon as he disappeared into the woods I bolted upstairs.
Lizzy's POV-
Bella was bushing my hair out of my face. I laid as still as possible, like in a trance or deep sleep. I was very good at fake sleeping. I felt the couch dip and assumed it was Edward. To be more convincing I snuggled up to Bella. They were talking about what they were going to tell me, but I already knew. They were Vampires. It all made scene. Inhuman stealth, speed, skin. They were practically screaming, I'm not human. Reaching out I clutched someone's sleeve. I normally clutch my covers, so to Bella I was really sleeping. Edward didn't seem to notice my act so I just stayed like that.
Once I heard Bella leave I came up with a plan. I would act as if nothing had happened, let's see what they plain to do...
Hi guys! Sorry for slow updates... I'm trying but school started and you know how school work piles up. But don't worry I'm working on it! Thanks for waiting.
