Chapter 8: Mistakes, Reprimands And Messages To the Past
Before Emmett walked in the door as well then firmly. "Uh care to explain what this is about and Edward, what the hell happened earlier?" he asked sternly and I explained that. "He lost his temper the second I walked in the door and directly in front of the fan, but the reaction was so violent he barely broke a bunson burner, microscope and several glass ampoules on the windowsill, but the beaker got destroyed and barely missed causing an injury."
"That's what this is about so I decided to call him on it, before he transferred out of the class, which is when the seven of you walked in. But I'm just saying this for that attitude problem with the fact that if that reaction had broken anything. Your parents would have to pay damages and the medical bills, and so I can prevent a lawsuit. But you're not going anywhere until we discuss this, Edward." I said, keeping my eyes on him sternly.
"You his big brother?" I asked and he nodded to me. "I am, my name is Emmett Cullen, but of the 3 of us, I'm the oldest of us boys, and he's my little brother. That's what happened and Rose sent me to learn this, before we talked to dad. And before he gets called out on a warning for his loss of temper here. But go ahead, and forget it Edward, you're not leaving until we discuss this." he said and Edward looked at him shocked.
"Let go of me." he said at that reaction, after I grabbed his arm as I answered him sternly at that. "Just what the heck is wrong with you, are you trying put someone in the hospital. Did you forget where you were, or how close to the lab equipment you were in there. Because the beakers and ampoules were sitting on the windowsill next to us, look if you expect me to take the attitude lying down, you're sorely mistaken right now."
"What about the damn window, you hit that microscope just right it could have broken the window, you slammed the beakers or the test tubes, the same thing. You're a civilian, I'm the daughter of the leader of the Forks police department here. But do you want a lawsuit for breaking school property and putting several people, our teacher, in there. And in the emergency room and for broken glass, injuries that need stitches at the moment."
"I don't care what reason there was for that reaction or why exactly, but I do care for the safety of my friends and everyone in the class surrounding us. You think Malcolm would take it well you're showing a severe case of anger at the fact you're no longer the new kid. Or your reaction could have put everyone in the infirmary for cuts from broken glass right now, cuts that need your father?" I asked him and I watched him swallow at that.
As watching his attitude, the coaches, Emmett, Banner, my principal and the receptionist watched this conversation carefully at that. "You expect to get a good reputation and not having the guys in my possible new gang treating you like a weirdo. Then get that attitude under control, because your reaction is only making them more suspicious. And as is you skipping biology because of exposed blood, aside from that now, Edward."
"That is one thing, but the second I walk in front of the damn fan, you react so violently you could have destroyed $200 worth of equipment and $120 of that is made of glass. Glass so thin that broken could cause a need for stitches if the shrapnel went flying across the room here. Did you consider that outburst could have put the girls, Mike, Tyler and Eric in here for lacerations right now?" I asked him and he swallowed hard at that.
"I didn't realize that, but that was no reason to test me Swan." he said and I answered him with a growl. "Yeah and do you want to test my godfather, my mother or my uncles and aunt, for landing me in your father's care, for whatever reason. My godfather is Ephraim's grandson, so I believe you understand what means now for you. Because I have the power to banish you from the peninsula, but here's the scope of it, Cullen."
"My dad is a town official, the chief of police, he's hunting our perps after four murders in close to two months. But he's working with the mayor, Cullen, you understand the significance of that, as is my mother, she's the great grand daughter of Tala Marquez. But I'm the high advisor to the junior high council of the Quileute tribe, both together. Now in your case, is this means my gang are the future tribe leaders, you're walking a fine line."
"Of pissing off the entire council, because you can't control your temper around me, no don't say it, what happened in there was not necessary. And neither was this temper tantrum, so cut the crap, I know why you're trying to get out of class it's because of me. But putting everyone else at risk, because of this is not leaving you in a good light with them here." I snapped as I pointed at the sextet of adults listening to our discussion.
"And whatever reason that was for is not necessary right now, but you have to control that temper before someone gets hurt or you break something next. You want dad to be ticked that your anger just barely put three students next to us in here for stitches. So cool down, before that does happen Cullen, I'm the daughter of the chief of police, watch it." I said, injecting my omega tone into my voice and he looked at me in shock at that.
"High society, I'm the daughter of the chief of police, the daughter-in-law, of the Quileute High Chief and the daughter of his second in command, ergo, you're a civilian, I'm high society, I might as well be the daughter in law of the mayor, or the high commissioner, does that mean anything to you?" I asked and he paled at that news. "And though I already got a boyfriend, those boys in our class are lining up to be my bodyguards, and you're pissing them off by your behavior, you want them to kill you themselves if I get hurt, because of a said injury you caused?" I asked as Tyler, Ben and Eric came in at that remark.
As Tyler moved behind me then and I knew he swallowed hard, as I saw a bulge in his pocket and his eyes widened at that. "I'm only saying this once Cullen, control that temper or you're being suspended for the rest of this semester." Carlisle said leaning over the front desk with a beyond stern look on his face. "And you ever raise your voice at her, and you're being eviscerated here." Mike said with a growl at that remark. "Easy guys, easy, don't lose it right now." I said and Tyler wrapped his arm around my waist and I leaned against his chest and Edward swallowed hard at that response as he looked at my hand.
And at the fact I grabbed his arm as he was passing me then as I felt the icy sub zero temperatures of his skin through his clothes. And without saying anything else tore his arm free from my grip and left the room as I sighed at that. "Come here." Tyler said and I leaned into his chest and he hugged me from behind at that as the trio moved to us then firmly. "You're not kidding, you're Tala's grand daughter?" Emmet asked and I nodded. "Yeah I am, great grand daughter, I maybe appearing normal, but if need be I got protection by the guys, my pack."
"My pack are the cubs of the sextet, and half the sextet just activated since you moved here, Emmett. I'm female leader of the junior high council of Elders, so warning from the council and dad to your brother. But tell Rose I'm willing to open up an alliance with you two, your parents and the duo. And it's the same for a friendship with you graduating later this year." I said and he nodded softly as he answered me smiling at the news then.
"You smoking when your mother's a doctor?" I asked and Tyler shook his head. "That was a warning, but I figured it out early, and Sam confirmed my suspicions." he said and Emmett nodded. "So you both know what, who, we are, guys?" he asked and we both nodded. "We did, but tell your father, my parents and I know and we don't mind, but he even lays a hand on her, he's being arrested for sexual assault and I mean every word." he said and Emmtt nodded
"I got the warning regarding my brother, and I accept the offer of an alliance with you and the packs, say hi to you godfather and the pack for us. We can meet at the PTA meeting, in case our situation is not wild animals but a bunch of nomads." he said and I nodded. "Tell your father my godfather is calling him tonight after Edward leaves the house, if he skips school for the next week." I said and he nodded with a gentle smile to me then.
"Okay, and nice meeting you Bella, see you in the morning." he said and I nodded as he left the room after dropping off the attendance to the receptionist. "Nice touch baby, that was a good warning." Coach Adam Reynolds said for him and I nodded to him softly. "He's starting to scare me, but you it's one thing, me, I'm girl and I need protection." I said and the boys nodded. "We're not doing this everyday with him, he ever lays a hand on you, he's finished." Ben said crossing his arms and Mike and Eric nodded in stern agreement to that. "Anyone else see this as he's drunk or he's popping pills?" I asked and they nodded.
"Yes, and if that's reason for the personality change, his dad's not going to like it." Eric said to me then gently at that. "Yes and I agree with that son, baby you okay, if he's holding you like this?" Anderson asked and I nodded. "A little shaken up, but yeah I'm okay Mam." I said and she nodded to me then. "I should have seen this coming, but Edward, who else has that name in the comics and he's the anti-thesis of Peter?" I asked and Tyler nodded. "That would be Edward Brock Junior, AKA Venom." he said and I nodded. "To us the chief is as close to the commissioner as you can get, you're the daughter of said." he said to that.
"Yeah, I never thought I'd actually have to do your jobs for you or my father to prevent a riot or lawsuit from happening on school property at the moment, Professor. Coach, but that behavior is not tolerated, either by you, my father or my godfather and his pack, but the pack is code for the tribal high council. The pack is the council themselves, as such one phone call to my godfather gets shot to his and he's screwed. And for that reaction now for nearly landing four students, including me, in here for broken glass." I said and the coaches and my guidance counselor nodded to the news.
"That wasn't a threat, you're serious, regarding this right now, warn him that the next outburst lands someone in here or the emergency room he's being suspended. Or expelled for an injury that puts your peers in the hospital?" Mr. Carlisle asked and I nodded. "Yes Sir, I wasn't kidding, being the daughter of a cop, not just any cop, but the chief of police, I take the law seriously and you don't need a lawsuit here either."
"I'm just doing dad's decisions for him until the PTA meeting later this week and that's not if he leaves town till after the meeting now. And until he cools off finally and starts acting civil with me right now." I said and they all nodded as they crossed their arms. "You're right though, none of us in the faculty or staff is going to like it he's acting like this right now, but you certainly showed a way of being the leader to your peers."
"But that outburst in the lab wasn't necessary and neither is that reaction, and I'm relieved you're calling him out on that, before we call his father tonight on him. Although looks like I don't have to, if he's hearing it from Billy tonight. Alright so your godfather is the high chief of the tribe, your mother is his second in command. With Josh out of town, by doing it over the phone." My biology teacher, Jack Banner, said firmly and I nodded.
"Yes Sir, but I meant it, with dad being the chief of police, he hears this and he's going to be annoyed at his behavior. But Dad's not going to like it either at the moment, but six friends in one day, he sees me and we have that. Well if we want to do it like this, I'm just ignoring him till he cools down right now, Sir. But good start to school here, Sir, I'm going to enjoy life here at the high school, Sirs, mam." I said and they smiled at that.
"Never mind the whole name though, I prefer Bella." I said and they all nodded to me. "I don't suppose this will be all over the school faculty and staff. That he lost his temper and you were in here for the reprimand I gave him?" I asked and Bentley nodded. "The teachers in the lunch room are us and Susan, so once the fight ends up in here. And in between classes, it hits the entire school next." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"I meant it though, not only is Billy Black my father-in-law, he's also my godfather, but high councilor/counselor to the Quileute tribe council. That's why I dragged it up at lunch, Jake is my future husband, so just heading off the repeated flirting. For him though, he's going to tick him off if he doesn't cool down and fast." I said and they all nodded to me. "Nice touch in the familial warning if that doesn't do it, nothing ever does, Bella."
"Final class is algebra, so you better go or you're going to be late." the receptionist said and I nodded and left, and knowing they were smiling at my remark then. After seeing my new friends I headed home, and as I got on the phone after getting to my house that night. 'If Billy was concerned before, he's going to know there's trouble, after he hears Edward's reaction in class today.' I thought as I dialed my godfather's phone number.
"Black residence, Billy speaking." I heard and smiled. "Hey Uncle Billy, is the coast clear over there, because the treaty is getting dragged up?" I asked and he answered me. "Yeah Jake's not home right now honey, he's at practice, what is it?" he asked and I gently answered him. "Had a slight over reaction in my biology class, as far as Cullen is concerned, and warned him over you and dad." I told him and he quickly answered me.
"What happened exactly?" he asked and I gently explained it to him. "I was coming in the door and stepped in front of the fan and he covered his nose, best guess. So he was fighting his hunting instincts, he tried to switch classes, but couldn't, and pulled himself out of school for the next week to go hunting. But the reaction barely broke several beakers and I warned him to cool down." I told him and I could tell he nodded firmly.
"Alright, well your father's not going to like that and neither will his parents, and older brother and sister. I bet if Doctor Cullen gave the go ahead, I think he's going to monitor things for a while, if you know about both of us already. And if you wanted to see your brothers and uncles automatically this soon, and if this is the you. And from that time-line I'm talking to if you called me that quickly." he said and I gently answered him.
"Yeah I'm the one from that time-line, if there is another disturbance like this one, I'm going to have to talk to the 6 of you face to face. But I already know about the guys and Le and I couldn't care less what you are, my memories back completely now. So don't worry about it, since that's Jake's biggest fear when he phases. He thinks he'll lose me, because of the gene, but I'm not going anywhere." I said and his tone gentled at that.
"Whatever trouble comes from this I'm coming to spend time on the reservation with you and the gang, we can rebuild our bonds now, quick suggestion here is call Carlisle right after he leaves, as you know their senses are as sharp as yours are, wait till he's a good fifteen miles away from the house, because he's going to be in a rush to go hunting to prevent an outburst, because he decided not follow his sister's suggestion to go hunting, so call five minutes later." I said and I heard the smile at that as he answered me.
"You sent them the same message you sent me and the guys if you're saying that baby?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah I did, Rose was the one who got it, she's Carlisle's second born, in children, as of now where, she's concerned, I'm keeping the link open so we can talk, but once she hears who I am and what I am to you and the packs, she's going to know that Cullen doesn't have a chance in hell of having me as his mate now."
"As things continue, if there's trouble here, call a meeting, because that's when I'm doing the debrief of what happened in my timeline, that's our window that day, with dad at work, and the fact I'm a minor, if I need a day out of school, I've got you three taking care of me that day, with you being my guardians, so that covers the red tape." I said and I knew he nodded as he answered me with a tone of paternal love in his voice.
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow afternoon, but if there's anymore trouble the next few weeks, I'm yanking you out of school for the day so we can talk and spend time together and you can fill us in and debrief us, see you this weekend baby." he said and I nodded as we ended the call as I got started then and went up the attic.
My intention was to get some of the stuff I'd made as a kid, but create young adult versions of the drawings as I went to the boxes that had my stuffed animals and looked at the eight with a smile. "Time for you guys to be put back where you belong now." I said and grabbed the box, and carried it to my room and unloaded it, I left Tala on my bed, and then put the adult quartet on both sides of him.
"Stormy, Sunny, Brownie, Smokey and Tala, Uncles Billy, Harry, Josh, Daniel and Elliot, you guys are on the bed, as for Candy, Copper, Patch and Orangie, you're going to be sitting by the window on my window seat. When off the reservation I've got you guarding me here in my room when I'm asleep every night now." I said with a smile. 'Nice try Cullen you're never breaking into my room any more, I've got a mental link to my packs, one mental phone call and you're screwed here, so fair warning here.' I added mentally.
As I set up a new set up in my room, I set my desk by the wall next to my window seat, my dresser by the wall next to it, and my book shelves on both sides of the window facing east in the room, as I left room on the walls for my new drawings, I was intending to make my entire room wolf to make it clear to Edward, I was Quileute and I was taken already as I got the other items from the attic and opened it to find several figurines of wolves and two or three dream catchers and smiled at that.
As I pulled my keepsake box out I pulled the twelve bracelets from it and smiled as I grabbed the tackboard from the wall next to my dresser and tacked the first six years on one row and the next right below them, before putting them on the wall again. "Okay time to get some rearranging done here." I thought out loud. 'Okay desk shifted slightly next to the dresser, so I can see out the window seat window there, the shelves guarding the other and my rocking chair standing right there now."
"My blood is two upbringings one Italian and the other Quileute, I can mix the styles, but the items on the wall but my figurines are going to be on the desk and the dresser and bookshelves." I said out loud as I set up everything till I reached the fourth box and found several more dream catchers in three different sizes in and smiled at that.
"Okay Jake gets me a miniature one to hang on the head of my bed later, I'll just keep these ones on the walls and you guys on the dresser and the desk, once the rest of my stuff shows up, moms got my second set of toy wolves with her, and I've got everything split down the middle now, though I'm living with dad now." I thought out loud, checked the clock and saw it was five and dad would be home in a hour went downstairs and got started on dinner and did my homework as it was cooking than.
After doing that I wrote a message to my father and stuck a few photos of him and me in it together, of our first true weekend back together, with the rest of the gang. We'd gotten several pictures taken that night, one of him and me, me with my aunts and sister, the guys and me together, me surrounded by the guys, in their wolf forms.
Fifteen minutes, before dad came home that night, I moved the envelope to my room and put it on the window seat propped in front of Quil, I needed to get a couple wolves that look like Leah and Embry now, because I had ninety percent of my pack on display in my room right now I just need the duo to finish it, but I just had to wait it out. "Mama, is this going to be like that Dennis Quaid movie, if my father and paternal pack are checking out my room later?" I asked and heard her answer me.
"Yes, everything done here will be seen in the future by the older versions of our family and pack as well as your pack, as will every memory you change for them. That letter will be needed for your father, once we reach the night of the game, Joseph will send a message to Harold that it is time for Goldie to retake control again and he will activate that night. Everything you're doing is going to change their memories, but they're going to be able to relax knowing you are fine here in the past."
"The letter will be seen, but the coloring will be a yellowing slightly like with a book, so when you placed it where ever you put it, you're father will find it, and know you're fine, just hang in there my cub, and things will be fine." she said and I nodded to that and moved it to sitting below Cocoa's paws, knowing dad was going to see in there. 'Don't worry dad, I'm not leaving you, mom or Phil no matter what.' I thought gently to him as I prepared for my next step in my plan.
Just as the thought shot through me, I heard the door open then. "Baby I'm home." dad called out and I walked downstairs then to see him. "Hey dad how was your day?" I asked and he smiled slightly as he put his bomber's jacket and gun onto the rack by the door. "Aside from no new leads today, it's going fine, so how was your first day honey?" he asked and I smiled as I answered him.
"Went great, I met a few people and the quintet invited me to join them everyday for lunch now." I said and he smiled at that. "Who'd you meet exactly?" he asked and I chuckled. "Mike Newton, Tyler Bennett, Eric Yorkie, Angela Webber and Jessica Stanley and a couple of their friends on the team, I bumped into the Cullens finally. And Edward over reacted for some reason I'm not entirely sure yet, but I don't doubt. Now that he's pulling himself for a week, for whatever reason." I told him and he nodded to that.
"That's strange, he's never had that reaction before, though Carlisle gives permission for them to go camping and hiking and pulls them from school at times. Alright you can fill me during dinner tonight, come on." he said and we headed for the kitchen and got dinner and talked things over that evening as it settled then.
"You tell him that if anyone ends up in the office for an injury he's in serious trouble with me if he had broken anything made of glass baby?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah and Uncle Billy said the same thing, but I'm no normal teenage girl. But you're a town official as the chief of police, mom was the advisor to the town council. In both towns. But I got bodyguard protection by the guys now as the girlfriebd of the next high chief now."
"I'm so above him he can't compare, my equal is another town official of the next rank up now, vice mayor, so with the high council and Billy the high chief of the tribe. But my only match is Jacob, once he takes up the town and family business." I said and he nodded. "Well if this behavior tells me anything it's a possibility of getting crazy jealous, so be careful and secondly I want you to monitor things with your clasmates."
"I've had repeated arrests regarding Daniel Grant and Peter Deacon over the last nine months since they started preparing for the end of their sophomore year. And leading into their junior years, so be careful if it's more then stimulate use but speedballing. Real drugs and alcohol or worse okay." he said and I nodded as we finished eating and we moved it into living room to watch the playoffs as I did my homework as we did it.
Knowing he was hiding a smile at the fact I was this comfortable settled in our living room, I knew to him that this was about to become the norm for him. And as he settled into fact he had me to come home too every night now starting thet night. And as our family pack was adjusting to me being back with the gang then gently at that. As I knew he was waiting in my future, for the new memories to start hitting him.
Charlie-August 2009
After getting home from my best friend's house that day, I felt the relief shoot through my heart my baby was being given the chance to heal now finally. I didn't want to give her up to that little brat, but knowing he was a vampire and drugging her, that only pissed me off even more, with her in the past I felt our weekend together take hold and her first day in school as I felt our relationship getting deeper through the bond.
The guys had invited us over for a barbecue bonfire Saturday night, and she and I were talking things over, I could now see my baby had taken total pride in the other side of her bloodlines as well. My side of the family was Italian and my ex-wife was Quileute, I'd accepted that after seeing my brothers in their wolves, my lost blood brother, who I missed a lot, was murdered by the leaches that bastard had set on my baby.
I trusted the sextet, but I wasn't having him anywhere near my daughter as of now. Just as I finished thinking that. A new set of memories activated in my mind as the first day of school for my daughter activated as I got home from work. And we were having dinner talking about her day at school, before her responsibilities in the tribe. Before we took it into the living room as I saw her curled up on the couch studying as I watched the game.
Hiding a smile, I felt the relief that our bonds were about to grow deepr then, but as this shot through me, I heard several thunks and thuds upstairs. "What on earth is going on up there?" I asked out loud and walked upstairs to see the attic door open and saw a box suddenly move it's way down the ladder and into my daughter's room and looked into the room to see everything she had as a kid spread around the room.
'Okay, I don't have a ghost in my house, she must be rearranging things in the past here.' I thought as the billboard next to the dresser got taken down and I saw her first twelve years worth of bracelets getting tacked onto it, before being put back on the wall, as the boxes that had her books in them she had packed for when she was getting ready for the wedding slowly disappeared and the books were lying on the bed.
As the bookcases suddenly shifted their position and moved their way to the right and left side of the window facing east, while the rocking chair moved itself in front of the window and shifted so it could lean against the one on the right, and then the desk moved itself sideways and outed itself at an angle where she could look out the window and leave enough room for her to sit at the window seat there.
While the bed shifted position slightly and moved a yard closer to the bedroom door, and the bedside stand sat itself next to it and in front of the book shelf and settled itself five feet away from it. "Charlie you up there?" I heard Elliot and Daniel call out. "Yeah I'm upstairs, but you better check this out." I called back and they walked up the stairs as two more boxes walked themselves down from the attic and into her room then and started getting unloaded then, as he came up the stairs as he answered me.
"What's going..., oh good grief, she must have gotten us out of storage finally if she's doing this, because everything you packed away that we gave her was in the attic, she must have gotten her stuff out of storage now." Elliot said and then looked at the bed and said it with a smile. "Hey Dan check it out, she's got us on the bed now." he said and we both turned to the head of the bed and I saw her stuffed wolves sitting there.
" So that entire time she had you in her room watching over her every night when she came to visit and I didn't even realize that till you guys showed me, but these wolves have lighter colors than you do, why's that exactly?" I asked him. "They're cub versions of us when phased Charlie, they're actually what the kids look like when phased and I see that the ones sitting on the bed are me, Dan, Josh, Harry and Billy now." he said and I nodded as I answered him as I looked around for the quartet then.
"Okay, so where are Eric, Jack, Adam, Beth and Joe exactly?" I asked, before getting the answer to my question as I saw them sitting on the window seat. "You're on the bed, they're on the window seat, okay if she did that, he must have broken in more than once in our timeline, but she's keeping them guarding the window over here." I said and then saw the envelope sitting beneath Eric's front paws and picked it up.
"What's that?" he asked me and I opened it. "She's sending me a message here, listen to this. 'Dad, if you're reading this, than you know my room is being redone now, as I said before the week that put me in the hospital, he's going to be making frequent visits, by coming in through the bedroom window, which explains why Candy, Patch Copper and Orangie are blocking that window and my rocking chair is sitting between my bookcases, blocking the other. But everything that you remember right now is going to be slowly replaced with the changes I'm putting in here, but they're going to catch up to each other pretty soon.'
'The first of the original timeline, 'our' timeline, is the day of the car accident, from there it's going to be getting hectic, so if the guys are in the hospital with me and Tyler and they and Cullen see each other face to face, get ready it's going to be like your memory of when he and Jake nearly resorted to blows when Jake kissed me that first time, but that first weekend is only the beginning of the changes I'm making here, my next one is creating a few new themes where things in school are concerned here.'
'Everyone in town knows you hate discrimination, but the day of the car accident I'm dropping the bomb of my ancestry to him, Carlisle and Rose, I'm going to ensure that the packs can go hunting without needing to be careful here, because I'm going to give you and your team information in what to look for here, and have one of the seven at your side at all times.'
'Don't worry dad, you'll know I'm fine as the memories that you have now are replaced with what I'm doing, but to ensure you're the one protecting me as well, I'm going to be dealing with several human situations here as well. As you said you wanted me to have balance in my life, and I'm going to do that, by splitting my time between the packs, the sextet and my friends in school.'
'But you're all going to get a change in your memories with me in the past, it's going to get slightly more hectic, but it's not going to be as bad as it was now, because by the time my birthday rolls around you and I are going to be living on the reservation by that point and I will belong to Jake completely, because I'm building our relationship as this is being written.'
'Everything that happened here in 'our' timeline is getting changed here, the list of events that put me on the edge of being taken away from you, mom and the packs is in the envelope, these situations are going to be changed, but the changes are going to come with some unseen item attached to it, so sooner or later whoever it hits first is going to be seeing you guys at the Cullen's house as you're discussing this, the day of the convergence is the day I got the letter.'
'Dad the situation in Port Angeles was one situation where your being cop comes in, and you're not going to take it well, because it's something I've kept quiet since the car accident, and it involves your other string of felons. That memory is going to shift positions and you'll know what I'm talking about, because I'm making sure you find out through that department.'
'But you guys, if Uncles Daniel and Elliot are reading this as well, need to be ready for that phone call, because it's before what I learned from them comes into it and things go from natural to supernatural and I meet the Cullens for the second time around, but everything between now and when I come home is getting changed, the first of fifty issues is going to be the car accident.'
'But the day I get the letter and learn the truth of what you all wanted me to remember will be the day I return, everything after that is a new future for all of us, but to quote that statement here, 'Only by the past can we change the future' I'm using that as my stepping stone and the changes that come with it are going to be what you'll remember now from here on in.'
'Don't worry I'm not leaving you, just stand by, I'll be back, I'm promise, your baby, Bella.' I read out and I nodded to that as I looked at the guys, as I pulled everything else that was in the envelope out and saw the photos we had taken of her with the kids and the entire family together, the list of dates that the situations that resulted in nearly taking my daughter away from me showed and I catalogued that and read through each one on it, before seeing the first was the day I dealt with Tyler.
"The car accident, the trip to Port Angeles, the day she met the sextet, the baseball game, yeah okay, these and everything on this list is getting redone, and she's changing what happens the day of the baseball game." I said and they nodded to that. "The first is the car accident, that's the day she met Carlisle, okay so that's when she tells me how to distinguish between the sextet and the red eyes, when the guys are tracking in the woods." I said and they nodded to that as Daniel answered me.
"At the moment only Jack, Adam, Joe and I are active in the new timeline, but Josh is coming back in six weeks, after we reactivated, but we were intending to show you what we are by being phased when you arrive at the Black's house." Dan told me and I nodded. "So you're doing a color coding in your bracelets, but make ones big enough to fit your back leg, and I see the six of you standing there, as I put it together and then I ask to see the trio first, okay that makes it a bit easier to figure it out." I told him before checking the collars and seeing the initials on them and then looked at him.
"You wrote your initials on these guys and color coded them to your clan bracelets, was this to jog her memory in case she forgot everything?" I asked him and he nodded to answer that. "Yeah we did that on purpose, we didn't know whether or not the kids were going to start, so we wrote both our initials and our sons on each one, so she could remember, but the bastard triggered a case of cross examination last year." Elliot explained and I nodded to that as we ended our conversation.
"So what's this mean for me if you're hunting in the woods, but in your wolves now?" I asked and he smiled. "You're going to have one or both of us at your side at all times, but if we find this trio and you hear me give you three growls and a whine, followed by my nudging you backwards with my head, I'm telling you to get out of the woods right there and let us and the quintet deal with it okay, you're our best friend, and we're not giving you up with out a fight, so with that in mind."
"When I do that I don't want any argument, you're fully human, we're superhuman, we can handle it, but we need the rest of our pack and Sam to do it, she needs you, so from here on, let us and the kids, as well as the sextet, protect her from these parasites and you protect her from the human ones, okay." Dan said and I nodded to his orders.
'Be safe baby, we're waiting, just come home safely.' I thought to her softly as I waited for the first item to hit as I put the list in my pocket and got ready to put it on the table in my room, because everything that I used on the job was kept in my room, fortunately I kept everything there and this was being placed on it, but my shotgun was going to be on stand by, and I was using it on the bastard if he ever came back.
Cullen house-Rosalie
After hearing what happened in class that afternoon, I knew he decided to ignore my suggestion of going hunting after he slammed the door of the house as he asked Carlisle to be removed from school for a week, so he could go hunting and out of town. "I got into conversation with Bella, after Edward left the office Carlisle. And she said to expect a phone call from Black himself, and that's not if Banner contacts you next here."
"Though he does and Edward is in enough trouble already that the reprimand was directly in front of the coaches, our principal and the receptionist." Emmett said and I nodded. "Oh great, that's just what we need right now at the moment here, alright. What happened if you need to leave?" I asked and he sighed. "I nearly lost it in the class room and it barely broke the ampoules near my station." he told me and I nodded firmly.
"She let you have in the office, didn't she?" I asked and he nodded. "Yes, the reaction got the attention of the faculty." he said and I nodded. "Of course it does, loss of your temper results in the daughter of the chief of police warning you to calm down. And before it puts someone in the hospital because they need stitches. For gods sake Edward, I told you to go hunting, before class started, if she responded to your reaction like that."
"I know she's going to be like everyone else, in thinking we're weirdos now, or just make it clear that attitude is not tolerated for her. But if she said something about the pack, we're screwed anyway, damn it. What the hell is the matter with you, are you trying to expose us to her or tick off her parents. Let alone the pack right now, Black is her godfather damn it." I snapped at him and Carlisle interjected at that remark firmly.
"Rose, we'll talk later if what you told me was any indication, but she's new and, if anything, is going to give the benefit of the doubt right now." he said and I nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'm giving you the keys to my car, go and get as much time away as you need, but I want you full and in total control by the time you get back." he added and Edward nodded as he passed him the keys and Edward packed a bag of clothes.
And left and I sighed then firmly. "Carlisle could I talk to you in your office, it's about the chief's daughter." I said and he nodded and we went upstairs and I closed the door. "What's going on Rosalie?" he asked and I explained it to him. "She knows there's something up about us. A couple days ago before she started school with us I got a letter, out of no where, saying she was from eighteen months into the future, and."
"Just to put it bluntly, her chosen soul mate is Jacob Black, she told me he's the heir of the red wolf we met that day, we have to keep this secret. And till the night we come into contact with our current killers, but I'm telling Emmett if need be. She knows I want her to stay human, but the warning to him was not a threat either at the moment. He just blew his first good impression on her right now." I said and he nodded in shock at that.
"He's Ephraim's heir?" he repeated and I nodded. "Yeah and she's his betrothed, we haven't seen him or the adult pack yet, but I think he's phasing next spring, but with the fact that photo shows eighteen, I think his father and the rest of adult pack activated or reactivated, and if the seven, or eight, are activated it means whoever is causing the murders has to do with it." I said and he nodded to that as he looked at me then.
"So she knows what we are, if she saw the wolves first, terrific, but why start speaking to you like this, if they're so wary of us?" he asked and I explained that to him. "Whatever her position with them is, she's able to talk to me mentally, I think that, whoever her maternal clan is, has to do with this, so she's half Caucasian and half Quileute, but we need to meet with her later to know that, but going by this, at the moment."
"It's she's about to extend a hand in friendship to us, because she's spending eighty percent of her time with her human friends. And by the looks of this her father's trio, quartet or sextet, whoever they maybe, if they're the wolves. But her making friends with the trio and me, that helps as does your becoming her PCG. And we get the aliance into place with him out of town for the next week." I said and he nodded in agreement.
"So she knows he's attracted to her scent, well that's one clue and he's left to go hunting now as a result, so with the way things are going, she's starting, or restarting, her research on our kind, if she's related to the wolves, if the council are back on duty and she gets hurt sometime in the next month I'm meeting them face to face for the first time, hopefully your brother doesn't start anything, but you and I are the representatives of our clan as of now." he said and I nodded to that suggestion.
"You got the photograph here if there was one?" he asked and I nodded and passed it to him. "Four out of ten in the teenagers look like Levi, Ephraim, Quil and Joseph, in the young pack, and the older quartet look like them as adults, alright the quartet are probably their great grandsons and the quartet the second generation that changed." I said and he thought it over as he looked at the photo then as he said his thoughts then.
"If we had several come through here, before we came back then it was the older quartet, so probably their grandsons, and the latest young black wolf is probably Levi's heir, when we moved back and Alice and Jasper joined our family, which explains the young brown wolf and the silver and white one, in the years since we met Ephraim, but altogether the council are not going to take it well if the nomads came through if the boys started, and if it keeps up the entire junior council is going to get started if we don't find out what's doing the killing." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"She said we'll be meeting the council themselves, but if that means we join forces to protect her or not, I'm not exactly sure yet, if these kids are what I'm thinking of, I mean we haven't met the trio face to face, but we will soon enough if this gets dangerous, especially if one of the kids winds up in a car accident with the weather causing freezing rain on the streets in the school parking lot here, and she winds up seeing a practical demonstration of our strength and it results in a vocal brawl at work."
"If our current trio activated it's because we moved back, and Alice and Jasper moved in with us, on top of our current situation, since you're investigating the murders as the town coroner at the moment and helping her father with the kills, but this could be a real parasite or a wild animal Carlisle." I said and he nodded in agreement as he answered me gently as he read through what the autopsy report said after what happened, and my way of putting the term parasite, since that's how they thought of us at the moment.
"Current killers, either those are really wild animals, a homicidal maniac, or we got a group of red eyed nomads running around the Olympian Peninsula, if she gets too involved with us and it could put her at risk, alright if we have any real problems we need to talk to the wolves." he said and I nodded in agreement as we ended our conversation. "She seems to be pretty open minded here about us, and whatever connection we had with her seems to be the catch, if she knew us that way."
"But whatever her ability is she's able to block him out, so that helps with private conversations for a while and I can talk to her if there's trouble, but if he starts testing the trio's patience and she, and whoever gets into a car accident with the weather like this, is in need of medical attention and we see each other finally, we need to shut the fight down, before they explode all at once and expose both of us, because he could kill them both if they're that close to the temperamental pup." I told him and he nodded.
"Well if I'm meeting the adult pack sooner or later I'm talking to whoever the leaders are to head that off." he said, before I could answer that the phone went off then. "Cullen here." he said and I heard a voice answer him. "Elder Black, yes of course, alright if that happens I'll meet with your pack members, but my son is going to get testy if she's hanging around you, yes alright, I understand that, why choose now to phone me."
"Yes I understand and to answer your question whatever letter you got, my daughter got it as well and she's filling me in right now, no he's left to go to Denali and is staying with my relatives, she just showed me that picture too, yes, alright, we know how to keep him blocked out of our heads, because he's my first born, we know what to do, uh huh, yes alright, only if need be, but my oldest son will be told soon enough, yes, okay, if that happens I get to meet your pack face to face finally and if it does I'm becoming her doctor at the hospital as of now, it's just us with the murders going on, but I'm looking into it, and if need be I'll be happy to work with your pack."
"For the time you want only us and my son Emmett knowing the truth about her till we hear everything from you and your pack face to face of whatever he's going to be hiding from us in two months. Okay I can agree to that, with permission as time goes on I'd like a first name basis between us, if our partnership goes from what it is now to true friends and partners, alright thank you, so if anything happens, she's telling me herself of who she's related to if she's got a mental broadband to talk to us that way?"
"I will, alright I understand, if that happens she's working as a go between for us and you, she's an old friend in her timeline, alright so she's going to be spending her time with you and your packs during the week, why did he leave, my son left for a week to go hunting, yes alright, you're a friend of the family, alright, if it starts heading in that direction, I'm working with your friends to make sure she doesn't get caught in the middle if there's trouble, is there a reason there'd be a problem here if the kids see each other, if you're saying it like that and why would she need to calm them down herself."
"Wait they're Cubs, the latest pack are just Cubs, who are they, the sons of your friends, alright I get it, I'll make sure it doesn't go past vocal here where my son is concerned and I will make sure, alright I will I promise, yes I understand, alright I'll talk to you again soon, have a nice evening Elder, good night." he said and hung the phone then.
"I take it that was the chief huh?" I asked and he nodded. "Yes, lovely timing, he chose the minute Edward is out of earshot to call, with Edward gone for the next week or so she's spending her time hanging around her pack or gang, whichever one it is, but he just repeated what you said here, we have to keep him blocked out, whatever she has to tell us later, she's got a bigger role here, and he wants us to head off an altercation if things start going from vocal to physical if the boys see each other finally, because our latest trio is a pack of Cubs, said Cubs the kids of his friends." he said and I nodded.
"Who've we got exactly?" I asked and he looked at the photo. "I think Levi's grandson just activated now, as did David and Job's, and they're no more than two years old either, but that's why she's around them, she's the buffer to their temper, so if Edward starts a fight, she's able to control it, but if she winds up with a concussion and this happens I'm going to be furious, because anything that aggravates a concussion is only going to make her worse here, her father is the chief of police and I'm not risking exposure because of his idiocy if he pushes the youngest cub to phasing right in front of us." he said and I ran my hand through my har as I answered him with a sigh.
"So our latest trio is a set of wolf Cubs, while their fathers are adult versions of them, and she's standing next to Ephraim's grandson, he's her mate, okay, we keep that from him till she tells us that face to face, great grandson if Edward tries to start a fight with the Cubs here, but I doubt they're the only wolf Cubs right now, if we don't figure it out." I said and he nodded in agreement to that as he looked at the picture I gave him.
"Ephraim, Levi, Joseph and Quil, alright if the adult quartet are their grandsons, it means it's genetic, and her mate is Ephraim's great grandson, if I meet Joseph's grandson and whoever the other two members of the original pack are, I need to learn more about who she is, because we met Tala right after she was exiled from the reservation." he said and I nodded in agreement to that as I answered him.
Before I could though I heard her voice answer me. "Rose don't worry you'll be hearing it from me face to face, but just keep up the play acting, our friendship is going to be growing as time goes on right, but in my timeline you wanted me to stay human, to ensure that, you guys and the packs have to work together. Till the night we meet the red eyes face to face just act the way you have been with me. You, Carlisle and Emmett are the ones I'm working with, but in two months we meet the nomads."
"But while I stay friends with you and the quintet, this is all part of my plan to ensure you're both protecting me and the entire region, our bonds are more than just friends, I know you and the quintet in another way, your parents are more than that to me in my time line, just wait and you'll hear it from my godfather."
"My Paternal protector is Joseph's grandson, but my cousins are the young black furred wolf, the lighter grey and white wolf and brown wolf, the trio are the great grandsons of Levi Uley and David Trueheart, I'm mated to Ephraim's great grandson, and my brothers are the darker grey and white and gold furred wolves, you see in the photo, while my sister is the sandy brown with blond streaks in her fur, she's my personal bodyguard."
"My brothers and sister's names are Sam Uley, Embry Call, Jared Truheart, Paul Lehote, and Seth and Leah Clearwater, their fathers are my father's best friends, while Jake is the son of the Chief of the tribe, he's the reddish brown furred wolf standing next to me, if you check the envelope that photo was in, there's a list of dates in it that will help with our situation here, the first is today in school, and from there it's going to shift to our lives coming together, because I'm meeting Carlisle in three weeks.' I heard her say and I nodded as I pulled out the second piece of paper and saw every date on it she wanted me to know then as I answered him and explained what she just told me.
"She just broadcasted to me, she said she's telling us face to face of who her maternal clan is and this is to string him along, because she's taken already, by Ephraim's great grandson, the intention is we and the packs work together to protect her and the entire region, but during that time we build our friendship and partnership, than when we find our killers the partnership goes full and we work as a team." I told him and he nodded.
"Who's who exactly, since if I'm meeting these kids face to face, so I know their wolves on sight, before they phase in front of me for a first time?" he asked and I explained that to him. "Jacob Black is the reddish brown furred wolf, Seth Clearwater, he's the gold furred wolf, Sam Uley is the black, Jared Trueheart is the brown and Paul Lehote is the greyish black and white furred wolf, while Sam's baby brother is the lighter greyish white wolf and Seth's older sister is the sandy furred she wolf with blond streaks in her fur, that's her family pack." I told him and he nodded to that.
"So with only the trio active, I'm going to be meeting them soon enough, what's the first exactly?" he asked and I passed him the dates and he looked at it, and checked off the first one. "One down and fifty to go, it's going to be a long eighteen months here, if we're a part of her life, but if these nomads try and hurt her, I don't care if it's a violation or not, they're getting exterminated." he growled and I nodded to that in agreement.
"Whatever we were to her, I may have tried to keep her from wanting to become one of us, but whatever he did to her may have to do with why she sent me that, but either way, we keep her human, she's taken already by the wolf clan and if he starts getting obsessed we may not have a choice, I was your second born, but my brother still has a breaking point we can't risk Carlisle." I added and he nodded to that statement.
"If she's engaged to Chief Black's son, it's no use fighting over it now, we're just friends and partners and nothing further, that is if she didn't think of me and Esme as adoptive parents at the time, because if she did, whoever tries to attack my daughter is winding up dead if they're a red eye, if she's got a set of parents from each species, it means we're doing anything we can to protect her now, but I need to talk to her about that."
"If she switches her broadband to me and Emmett next, we can act as representatives to her and the tribe later, while I'm working with her father wolf, because if he's the chief, than there's my answer, she said godfather, I just need to find out who he is and if she's got more than one paternal pack member who sees her as another cub if that's why the sextet are looking at her like that in the photo, so whoever he might be I need to talk to him and his pack brother if anything comes up." he said and I nodded to that as we ended our conversation then.
And that's the end of chapter eight, from here the text is going to flip from the original publishment to new chapters, as it starts going through her school days leading up to when she meets the trio as the first book begins now with the next chapter, as things start shifting directions as the adult versions feel the changes as they remember everything that happens with their past selves.
This is going to be a piece of what her prophecy shows of what would have been if Edward have never come into her life as she sees things from the pack's perspective and starts seeing him as a dangerous monster as she gets to know and spend more time with her friends, her father and the packs then.
Before the story enters her going to Port Angeles and she begins her operation of dealing with Edward, before he changes his behavior and starts losing his mind out of crazy jealousy as this starts getting more hectic.
