Life Choices Remade
Warning: With this chapter, it's going to be another day, before he's back in school and things start speeding up from here. But her life is going wolf and staying human now, as to that it's going to take time, before things start warming up in the story as the indicators start coming one by one as the memories of the packs, her father and friends at the school start getting rearranged by this point.
But for the ones who want action keep in mind that it's always the slow point, before things start picking up and the action starts, as to that, the future versions are going to realize what's going in the past, before she does it, which is the Butterfly effect and it's going to keep up till she returns to the future.
Disclaimers: Twilight doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else bselongs to Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 17: The Adult She-Wolf And Medical Attack Plans
"Where did you learn this from exactly, you know more about biology than any other kid I met?" Banner asked me in amazement and I smiled as I said it. "My job covers biology Sir, I'm trained to know what each species is on sight. But our tribes are ending the feud and we're working together, the girls are my bodyguards in school now, till Rose graduates and then next year Alice, Jazz and Paul are my personal bodyguards in class."
"Fortunately my adult protector is back and she's being one teacher while Uncle Jack is the other, but my pack are oversized wolves, but we're just Cubs, so you see Smokey hanging around the school, it's fine. He's my beta, Sandy has another year, before she gets started too, but she's my alpha's fourth. Reddy gets started next winter, and with him are Candy and Sunny, but that's why the Cullens and I are meeting right now."
"As to why their great grandfather created the treated with my tribe and together we became the town and territory protection of the entire peninsula, to keep these leeches under control, with the fact they killed five people in in less then two months, they just sentenced themselves to execution." I said and they nodded as Rose hid a smile. 'I never would have thought up that alibi Bella, we've tried to fit in and now we can, that's a great way to explain about us.' she said to me softly and I looked at her at that.
Before I could say it then, I heard a responding remark to that statement then. "That's an understatement at the moment, thanks for the call honey." I heard and Rose smiled. "Hi mom, so decided to join dad for the PTA meeting?" she asked and Esme smiled at the address. "Yes I did, as for the fact I get to meet the adult pack finally as well, I see your making some new friends here." she said and they smiled and nodded to her.
"Yeah we did and the council's and teams invited us to join them when we want now. Bella extended friendship to us and the tribe is doing the same for us as well." Emmett said and she nodded as she looked at the eight. "Hello Elders, I'm Esme Cullen, Carlisle's wife." she said and they nodded smiling to her. "Nice to meet you Esme, I'm Billy Black, this is Joshua Uley, Hary Clearwater, Daniel Trueheart, Elliot Lehote."
"Eric Ateara, Beth Clearwater and Jack Denali. The eight of us are the Quileute high council and the grandchildren of the pack your in-laws met 90 years ago." he said and she nodded. "Yes well nothing's going to change regarding the treaty we can promise that. But this summer I think it's time to update it later." she said and I nodded in agreement to that. "Good point, but war council between both tribes after we're done here, mam." I said and the sextet all nodded to that in agreement.
"Yes well first PTA and then war council cub." Harry said with a bemused smile on his face as he looked at me and the sextet chuckled at that. "Carlisle said they bumped right into you?" Dad asked and she nodded in aggravation. "Yes and I've never seen a teenager get that jumpy, because it was like that documentary movie that came out six years ago." she said and he covered his eyes at that. "I see why she'd get that skittish dealing with it once is enough, but the stories just make it worse." Carlisle said to her.
'Yeah and it's half my memory and half the stories that nearly made me shoot you when I heard you Carlisle, fact of the matter is dealing with the trio is enough I never want to get turned at all and two. If he had gotten me pregnant the treaty is moot in the eyes of the pack, and I couldn't see my family anymore, that's the catch, I don't know what the consequences would be for mixing vampire DNA with human DNA.'
' I haven't learned that yet by my mother, but that's why I decided to change things before the wedding, but between now and when I met you as his former girlfriend, we were just friends and then from there I saw you nearly every other day. But this time we need to get you involved with the town more easily and things are more relaxed this way, so the quartet are on the teams, and you're more involved in school.'
'To prevent anyone from getting too curious till they figure it out on their own later, but Edward screws up next week and nearly exposes you, so get ready, because the car accident is going to result in two exposures at once. His strength, and his seeing my brothers face to face, because Paul gets so testy I've got to prevent his phasing in front of us with our parents and thirty to forty guards, nurses and technicians in the room.'
'That close to us, and if Tyler happens to be the second victim, again, I'm not risking him phasing that close to me, dad and Tyler, or that's going to get us killed here. But with that concussion, I'm going to have to keep from losing my temper or something is going to get launched across the room telekinetically. But that's two risks I'm not taking chances at: Paul phasing in front of us and my telekinesis going haywire."
'Rose you were at the hospital, just be in the room with us and your father when dad, Harry and Uncles Josh, Daniel and Elliot are in the room with us and we can fake the introductions for him, so he doesn't realize you already met today for real today. Sting operation till we pull the plug.' I thought to her and she, Emmett, Rose and Carlisle all nodded. 'Alright we'll do that, just stay behind him or at his side in case he does blow.'
'Nice thinking in explaining the injuries on you and how to take out the red eyes, without telling them everything though. Your alibis are definitely coming in handy for us now, I never could explain why we looked like this aside from living in the shadiest place on the planet. But now we can, the kids suffered several ailments that lead to several problems, we had a dangerous aversion to exposed blood that is not uncommon either.'
'As well as why I pull the kids out of school so much during sunny days, and speaking of which on these days...' Esme said to me as she said it out loud then as she looked at our principal. "Derek, during the days we yank the kids out, I'd like to set it to an out of school attendance. So just give them whatever assignments that their teachers have for them, the night before and they can do their studies from home." she said to him gently.
"Alright, but regarding Edward cutting class in biology so much?" Banner said to her and she nodded. "Yeah you better knuckle down, he's the first one I adopted it and it's gone to his head lately, but if he's cheating on his studies in your class, let alone whatever subjects he's got when she's in the room with her friends. And she catches him red handed and he's grounded for a month." Carlisle said to him and he nodded to that.
"She's right though regarding our appearances, the strand of flu that Edward had turned itself into pneumonia and it hit all of them, last month, which is why they still look like this. As for me I've been working over time in trying to figure out who are homicides and drove myself into the ground lately while doing it, dealing with our quartet of rapists and the string of health problems in the high school lately, but that explains us." he said, meaning himself and Esme and they all nodded to that in acceptance.
"As for the added issue of survival hunters training the biology results in messing with your color irises as well, which explains this, we've been hunting venison, deer and buffalo, and that's changed the color of our eyes ever since. But don't worry, in the case of the gang, once you figure it out on your own, it's going to be we can protect you easily now." Rose said, to fill in the gaps and they nodded as they smiled at the entire gang.
"So that's explains your your physical appearance and that's fine, you're no different than we are, either of you and your tribes, and with that, it doesn't matter to us that you're different, so long as you can protect our kids, that's all we care about. You're more than welcome to join us when you want guys, I promise." Mr. Newton said for all them and we all nodded as Carlisle hid a smile at that.
'Well that takes care of that, that solves our look of outcasts in this town, we're completely integrated into Forks and with that, as things get started, boys just try not to show off and you either girls, when you're playing sports. But whatever plans she told you outside tell me later and we're keeping up the story she gave them starting tonight, because though we look completely recovered once we find the trio, you better start wearing make up to get a more healthy tinge to your cheeks guys then this later.'
'As for everything else, we're bringing the game gack with us and keeping up with our alibi that way starting tonight, after the war council. Which is we're hunting animals for meat, and the meat is medium rare, and that's changed the colors of our irises. That definitely works in alibis till their parents and your friends figure it out, though from the look of Carole's son he's got you ingenuity in figuring it out pretty quickly."
"But like he said they and the rest of the town population doesn't care, so long as we can protect you kids, but I'm going to have to see those injuries at your next physical honey, I need to see every injury. With the injuries you just told me, I need to see these people if whoever wrote up that story saga knows they created a movie off it and it's just starting.' Carlisle said to me, with a gentle look and I nodded as we refocused then.
"I bet Renee was furious when she found out." Anderson said and I nodded. "Yeah more than furious, but with the fact that the leeches were dead, she was ready to do it a second time herself, but she's an adult version of me. I'm a cub, she's a fully grown human wolf, she's been at it longer than I have, but we thought that the packs weren't coming back this year, let alone that we weren't going active, till this trio showed up."
"So I decided to get Aunt Beth back to help out and protect me. Till Uncle Harry gets started again himself." I said and they nodded. "Well like if this gets any worse, I'm better off with having both of you transfer here now, instead of next semester. Though these kids attack you for turning them in and they're in deep trouble. Jack, Beth, if you could get started right away, that would be a help." Carlisle said and they nodded smiling as she turned to the Cullens to introduce herself.
Turning to Carlisle and the duo she smiled gently. "Hello Carlisle, Esme, Rose, Emmett, I'm Elizabeth, Beth, Clearwater, Renee's fourth." she said and he nodded to her. "Nice to meet you Beth, so you're the adult version of Leah here?" he asked and she nodded. "I am, in fact for the girls we're faster, because it's speed in the lower body rather than upper. In an omega the results are they get more athletic and can act like us when we're on duty." she said and Anderson looked at her at that as Henderson said it for her as he looked at me.
"Would what happened at lunch be connected to why you were that quick in catching the fork he catapulted across the cafeteria table and across the room, because most students wind up catching it by the blade or the business end of the fork, not by the handgrip, Bella?" Henderson asked to change subjects and I nodded to him. "Yeah at mid to late teens our abilities of acting as a normal super hero kick and we become as strong in athletics as most guys on the sports teams do." I said and he nodded to that explanation.
"So you're like Leah and Beth that way in becoming faster than we are, as a athlete?" Anderson and I nodded. "Yes and it's going to help later to prevent someone from getting hit by another catapulted fork or worse in the cafeteria later. Though with six kids of medical doctors, Paul and I are the children of cops and we got added help later, but if a riot breaks out in a game or lunch, it's going to get hectic." I said and she nodded to that.
"So coach what can I expect next semester exactly?" I asked playfully and she chuckled. "Well for starters, you girls start getting smart with me and you're in big trouble kiddo. And with your aunt working with me, though she's teaching trig, let us know if these boys keep it up and I mean that ladies." she said and we all nodded to that as Beth smiled as she added on to that. "Cub you start getting smart with me and you're in big trouble, considering I helped raise, but you sneak out you're on stand down later."
"And to answer your remark young lady, we'll go into that later, now don't push it. With the fact you snuck when we already said not to do that." she said, before seeing the amused look on Carlisle's face. "Before you ask Carlisle, I used to babysit her, and the quartet when they were babies, seeing my Cubs at this age, it's a bit shocking. Leah is the cub version of me and like the boys, they got their adult versions with their fathers, but they're color coded to us as their adult versions." she said and he nodded, amused.
"Nice touch, so I can expect you to be an older version of Leah when I see you later, correct?" he asked and she nodded. "Yes, but with two wolves in school here along with a cub, so to speak, she's got bodyguard protection, in case your son gets crazy jealous though that happens and he's in serious trouble if a fight breaks out between him and Paul later. It's my job to protect my omega and she's my baby girl, I'm acting like a mother bear."
"So with that, he touches her like that, either abusive or worse and he's in big trouble with me and I mean that." she said and he nodded. "I haven't told mom yet, but she's not going to take it well that ninety percent of your pack is reactivated and it's because of the murders Aunt Beth." I told her and she nodded with a sigh at that. "I don't blame her, we've been retired since you were eleven years old, but having all of us reactivate in three months."
"On top of the fact my brother is at risk of a heart attack still, I'm not risking him losing his temper. Though with the Cullens already here, that just leaves it to one thing and one thing only and its we got a group that are acting like Hannibal lector running loose out there. It's my job to protect you and that's what I'm going to do baby. Harry you need to change your diet and lay off the beer, I'm not losing you." she said and he nodded to her softly.
"Carlisle how long would it take if he changes his diet tonight exactly?" I asked and he sighed as he said it. "It's going to take three years to get the LDL levels past hypertension and down to the level you have it at this rate, so more Italian food, less red meat, high fiber and lay off the beer, I'm prescribing a blood pressure pills, but the insurance is full so that saves you quite a bit of medical, but if you don't mind I can be your doctor guys." he said and thry all nodded to him as Billy said it for all of them.
"That works fine Carlisle, if you got your own medical hospital we can just do house calls and come to your place for medical care later." he told him and he nodded to that. "Yeah well with the fact, I'm this good at biology Carlisle I've got an idea of how to get your iron levels back up so you've got more color to your skin and getting stronger, with you just getting started in dealing with our homicides here." I said to him and he nodded to me, as Harry answered her at that.
"I'm getting several cardio checks next week Beth, but I'm reactivating when we find this trio. Though what I will say is this and it's if it takes ensuring we get her back to her house, we're intercepting her, before he tries any foolhardy stunts that are not going to work." he told her and she nodded in agreement. "Aunt Beth what's your spirit wolf look like?" Leah asked and she smiled. "She's Sandy brown with blond streaks in her fur, while you're is a cub version of what I look like when I'm like that."
"While Goldie is golden brown. And Sunny looks like him, just as a cub, but our specific job in the pack is we're charged with the protection of our alpha's mate and the omega. Your sister happens to be both, as to that I'll teach you what you need to know and then when Jake takes on his hunter training you'll be ready, but I'll cover for you till you activate." she told her and she nodded to that smiling. "Derek you got room for another position fulfillment here?" she asked him and he nodded as he smiled at that.
"Sure, what's your position and expertise?" he asked and she smiled. "In addition to being a basketball coach, I'm also a trig/calculus teacher for seniors here. Jack is a ancient history teacher, but that's two classes and I'm her coach, so that comes in handy in case of trouble, but she's going to be the star player once on the court here, as to why. It's because she's got her mother's ability for athletics and it's going to work out." she said and he nodded.
"Yes mam, sir it is, the side effects of my job with the council result in making the omega more athletic, so with that, this year's things are just academics, next year I'm trying out for the girls basketball and volleyball teams. Sir, when's practice for choosing the next set of students on both teams?" I asked and he smiled as he answered me. "They're both at the start of the school term Bella, but I want to watch you when practicing with the girls later." Coach Wilson said and I nodded to that with a smile.
"You're joining us on the team Bella?" Angie repeated and I nodded to her. "Yeah I am, as are the duo, but the four of us can do both teams and run the senior class council next year together." I said and Alice smiled at that idea. "I can't wait to see you guys in action when playing sport this semester actually, because with this we're going to win the championships if you're that good at sports guys." Eric said, smiling, and I nodded.
"Derek expect to see Orangie, or Shadow, hanging around the courtyard later once we get some warmer weather out there, in case of trouble." Harry said and I tried to keep from snickering. "I just got a front row seat to Orangie showing up on the property during lunch today actually. But seeing these guys like that is enough to scare the daylights out of someone if you hadn't been raised by a pack of wolves all your lives." he said to him and the eight all looked at Jack as Billy said it for all them with a bemused look.
"I thought I said stay off the property, you over grown fuzzball." Billy said, looking at Jack and I started laughing at that. "What, I wanted to see her Billy." he said and I tried to get it under control. "I told you wait till after school, not walk right up to the cafeteria door and scare the hell out of the faculty in their lunch period Jack. And with that you keep this up and you're grounded wise guy." Billy told him and Carlisle exchanged looks with Bentley.
"Alright pull yourselves together Cubs, come on." Elliot said with an amused look to us as the duo started laughing at this as well. "God if ain't one thing it's another with you guys, we got to get under control, I mean seriously Uncle Jack, with you guys back as adult hunters. The twelve of us, we get to act our age again, but that doesn't mean you should start milking your return to the job for all its worth right now." Sam said through his laughter as he looked at him as the quintet exchanged amused looks.
"I take it he's the wiseacre in the pack, if you're saying that?" Carlisle said with an amused look and we nodded. "Yeah and unfortunately his personality is being reflected by Jack here, and how many times have I told you not to do that Jack. You keep this up and you're grounded wise guy." Daniel said with a chuckle to him. "He sent Orangie to the door to get my attention and we were in a conference call, before they left." I said to him softly smiling.
"Before you ask, these guys act like they're wolves half the time to the point they act like a pack, though they're the Quileute high council." I said out loud and my principal nodded with an amused look on his face at the address. "Well that explains why they're wearing the exact same haircut and dressed the same way." Jessie said and I nodded. "Yeah well to put this gently, if they were wolves, the haircut is meant to prevent their fur from snagging on tree branches and twigs when they're scouting the woods."
"Once initiated into the pack, the members undergo a haircut and a tattoo on their right shoulder, indicating their brothers, it's a blood brother ritual, though Leah and Aunt Beth are the only girl members of the pack, aside from mom and me. But the packs are the guys, the omegas, the alpha's fourths and the imprints, which is another word for soulmates here, and my pack is in the early stages of it." I said and they all nodded to that.
"Had to get a trim, before I reactivated here at the time, but I see you guys looking like we did as kids again Josh, Eric." Beth said smiling. "Yes well you look like my daughter sis, I see you reapplied your bracelet as well." he said smiling as he looked at the clan bracelet wrapped around her wrist and she nodded with a smile. "Member of the Clearwater clan and proud of it Harry, you're my twin, I'm not losing you." she said and he nodded to that.
"Hey dad, did Aunt Beth get that same tattoo on her shoulder?" Leah asked and they both nodded. "Yeah, as do the Omegas, once they're adults, because by that point the training is complete. But the tattoo is meant to indicate you're a pack, added side effects for you, in your case, are you imprint on the first new addition if he's older than nineteen, if the pack starts growing." he said and we both nodded to that as we exchanged looks.
'I'm imprinting on the first werewolf, my age, that joins the pack, after the eleven of us are completely active, whoever it is, if the added stories are true, is going to be pissed that this leadership caused him to phase, along with thirty more, both age groups, once we completed the three piece portion of your prophecy Bella.' she said and I nodded in agreement to that, feeling my heart start lifting at the news.
After explaining that Carlisle looked at the duo as he said what he and the quartet were thinking. "What's going to cause the pack to start growing, if we finish what we set out to do?" Carlisle asked and Billy answered that with a growl. "If your Italian friends get some made up story about her getting pregnant or whatever your other legends were, which is enough, but we'll explain later."
"Let alone that your son says he got her pregnant, but that happens the treaty is void Carlisle, and we'll explain it later, but everything that the treaty entails is staying like it is. But she's my baby omega, till Renee comes for a visit to see us and you're meeting her face to face, but she's going to say, what Charlie just told you. So with that if Bella chooses it's of her own free will, and your hunting weapons are getting removed from the equation."
"If your son breaks that rule the treaty is moot and he's being banished. And I think we better meet at your house for a first time this afternoon, before we go to step two Carlisle. Because we're starting now rather than in a year, but we got a lot of work to do, before we catch our homicides, and the law is exact, when we find them, they're getting exterminated by the electric chair." he said, emphasizing the wording and Carlisle nodded, as he got what he was referring to then as he nodded to him as Tyler changed the subject.
"What's with the nickname exactly?" he asked and I explained that. "I don't have the type of control over my abilities that mom does, because I forgot how to use them and I'm in training at the moment, like the guys are. And I'm a teenager, so to my uncles I'm still the little cub they remember and I'm an omega, so that's the why he calls me that. I'm a cub and I'm an omega, so to them I'm their baby omega." I said and he nodded with a smile.
"How long do those tattoos last once you get initiated exactly?" Tyler asked and Eric answered that. "Instead of the ink syringe, we use a fire ritual and a piece of wood and that works and the tattoo is permanent, it's our symbol of the protectors of the entire region, and being blood brothers. Though a lot of people considered us a cult at one point, because of secrecy, but we're protecting you kids from maniacs like this and drug dealers." he said and wrapped his arms around me and I leaned my head against his.
"I take it you helped raise her, if she's looking at you like you're her father?" Carlisle asked and they all nodded. "Yeah we did, with her mother being our omega, we considered her our baby omega, and to us, she's like another cub, adopted, and by blood, in addition to our own." Josh said smiling as he watched us together. As I leaned my head against Eric's, I heard Cocoa purring happily at having me back then and hid a chuckle at that.
"But the nine and their wives are just adoptive parents to me. But I'm related to the quartet, though Aunt Sarah is gone, she's still with us. Though at the moment, Uncle Jack you keep that up and Uncle Billy is going to let you have it at dinner tonight for that one. Especially after he said you're not supposed to be coming onto the property like that." I told him and and he gave me a playful smile and they chuckled at that.
"Too late baby, I'm ready to let him have it now, and again try that twice and you're not going hunting anymore Jack, now cool it already." Billy said with a bemused look on his face and I tried to keep from snickering as I heard Sam and Leah trying to get their laughter under control at this. "Are you guys always like this with each other?" Alice asked and the seven nodded. "Yeah, but once one of them starts something Renee had to intervene, before they got thrown into the lake." Dad said and they and faculty started laughing at that.
"The water that cold I'm not surprised at the moment, the lake is twenty miles up and that one is a hot spring, but the area is volcanically active, so if old MSH suddenly blows her top again, we got to evacuate the entire area. Since we're in range of it." Carlisle said and he nodded in agreement to that as Josh switched subjects.
"At the moment with us active again, the kids can act like Cubs and they're now letting that freedom go to their heads here, because they got into a snowball fight the night you guys started going at it in the courtyard. We were getting together for the pre super bowl playoffs and the kids started going at it. And the ending results knocked a can of beer off of the kitchen counter, last night was another a kickball game and we ended up in the line of fire." Josh said and the quartet and my friends started laughing at that.
"Typical, I guess the freedom of being teenagers again just woke up their playful sides if the nine of you are active again. Though if our students keep doing that and I barely miss getting hit by a snowball in the fight." Bentley said smiling as Carlisle chuckled at that and Josh nodded. "Yes well I keep winding up in the line of fire between my cubs and the cub that hits me is getting it hard later." Harry said looking at me and Leah smiling.
"Smokey, before you lose your temper here, I'll let you know if the addicts cross the line, but the guys have me surrounded." I said and Sam nodded as I heard a voice gently call out. "Hey Beth, welcome home, Carlisle, I take it you got the same message?" I heard and he nodded. "Yes, but I'm on an extended war conference with the tribe and the cops regarding the murders Caroline." he said and Anderson said it for her. "I take it you guys know each other?" she asked and he and Billy both nodded as Billy said it for both of them.
"Yeah we do, but we've been allies against every criminal, by that I mean every homcidal maniac and drug dealer running loose up here and the murders just reactivated a situation that resulted in the pack returning to full active duty hunter status, our group just reactivated, aside from me and Harry. Harry's got two months, and I'm waiting till Renee comes for a visit and then I'm back, which means I'm out of my wheelchair for good." he told and she nodded to that explanation as the voice turned motherly as she said it.
"I found another dent in the car door young man, what you run into this time, because your father is getting sick of patching up the car door at the moment Tyler?" I heard and saw a black woman dressed in a work pants, a sweater over a purple turtleneck and a lab jacket walk in as I got a better look at her eyes, I saw Tyler's eyes and smiled as he answered her with a tone of a son to his mother as he sighed.
" Sorry mom but that time it wasn't my fault, but I couldn't put the breaks on fast enough and ran into the dock pole mom on my way up for a pre game practice run." he said and she sighed as dad said it for both of them. "Don't tell me you were running late for practice again, weren't you, if that car slid off the road and you live three block up from us?" he asked and Tyler nodded to him as he went further, his tone going stern as he said it.
"Tyler, I'm serious, slow down the car, before you crash it again after the last time you slid off the road. I've got enough on my plate without you crashing into the power pole or the street light next for speeding if we got black ice on the road, now take it easy and slow it down, will you please son. Because if you end up in there, and with you a classmate, and you're losing your license for a month and I'm not kidding." Dad told him and he nodded to him. "Yes Sir, though if this is like some sort of repeat its me and Bella catching it."
"What are the chances I wind up being the one to end up in the E.R. for that exactly, and with me her?" he asked him. "You've ended up with ten head injuries in the side of four years since you started on the basketball team, but with the weather like this. And I'm not risking you landing yourself in there for a head injury, because you were in a rush to get to school, but to answer your question, in our case with our families becoming connected."
"With our luck extremely high, though if your father finds out you were speeding, because you were late for school, and he's going to be furious at that. Jack, Carlisle, Charlie and I have got enough on our plates without you landing yourself or one of your classmates in there with you, because you're running late for school, for whatever reason. Now next time take it slow, will you please honey." she said and he nodded to her.
"I can take a guess he's crashed more than once since you bought him that van, right Dr. Crowley?" I asked and she nodded in exasperation. "With eighteen months left in high school we're trying to ensure he's getting his full ride, though he's doing three, but repeated car accidents for speeding when the roads are black ice are grating on our nerves right now honey. The last thing we need is someone passing out at the wheel or speeding at the moment." she said to me gently as I thought over thing and then looked at Tyler and Rose.
"I can tell you're his mother mam, his eyes look like yours." I said and she smiled. "It's nice to finally meet you sweetie, I'm Caroline Crowley." she said and I smiled. "Nice to meet you finally as well, Tyler and the quintet have been very kind and offered me a place in their gang and our friendship has grown as a result, your son is my best guy friend now." I said and they smiled at that.
"With a third of your group suffering drugs and alcohol abuse we got to go over this now." She said, before I could answer the captains of every team in the school ran into the room and dropped the files on the table. "How bad is it guys?" I asked and Greg answered that. "It's bad, in total we got thirty." he told me and I stood up at that. "Thirty, from which teams exactly?" Bentley said in shock anf he explained that.
"It's the entire spring semester department Coach, every team has four or five and ours has seven in total." he said and I sighed at that. "If Grant is one of the seven he so much as lays a hand on my daughter and I'm hauling his ass up on charges." Dad growled as they answered him at that. "Alright we have it Doctors, Chief. There's four to five of each of our teams on a stimulate and drug binge." Dana Schafer said to her and she nodded as I looked at her as Tyler, Rose, Emmett and I went on alert at the news.
"Medical health meeting report now!" I snapped and Jamie nodded as he answered me. "I've got five on my team, in addition to Peter." he said and Dana Adams looked at me. "There's four on mine, and the other quarter of the teams are spread to three each." she told me and I nodded. "Which teams exactly anyway?" Rose asked and she sighed as she said it. "Seven on the basketball team, four on mine and that's the gymnastics team."
"Five on the hockey team, four each on the swim, baseball and track teams Bella, but in total we got between twenty four to thirty." she told me and I nodded as I repeated that as our parents and the staff exchanged worried looks at the news. "Alright let me get this straight we got between twenty four to thirty drug addicts on six different teams and that's why they're looking like they're ready to crash. Caffeine highs like this take three months to recover from?" Emmett repeated and she nodded to that.
"So five on the hockey team, seven on the basketball team, four on the gymnastics squad and four each on the swim, baseball, and track teams, you guys tell them to quit?" I asked and they nodded. "Yeah, but they're not listening to us, they like the rush it gives them. We reached the point of team leader interventions and we're getting ready to tell our coaches, before you called us over." he said and I nodded as dad answered him.
"When I said play it safe right now, this is part of what I meant, if the stimulates crash in the middle of a game, in the car or right here in the school, the kid could pass out or cause car accident, who's the idiot who suggested this stuff, because they could do a lot damage here?" Dad asked and David sighed. "I'm not sure, but I'm doing some digging, if they start acting up during lunch we're calling a medical conference in lunch." he said to him and he nodded to that as I exchanged looks with Jessi as she said my thoughts out loud.
"What are they thinking, are they out of their minds right now?" Jessi said in shock and I looked at Rose then. "Rose, Emmett, medical talk." I said and she nodded as she and Emmett as they shifted seats and sat next to us as the Cullens took the seats across from me as Leah read the report over my shoulder. "What's up Bella?" he asked and I looked at them. "Guys, did your father bring up anything in terms of medical check-ups with the kids on the sport teams right now?" I asked and she nodded as she answered me, before Carlisle did it for her, his tone loaded with annoyance.
"Yeah I did honey, seven cases of caffeine and sugar levels through the roof, while another was arrested five times and brought in for altercations, by your father." he told me and I nodded as he explained that. "Yeah well I know the reason for that guys, seven of the guys on the basketball team are taking those energy drinks for a fast jolt and they're all wired from it, as for the eighth he's on speed right now, which explains the altercations."
"Though I think that's because he's speed-balling, but I've got three others screwing around with stimulates and the same is said for the other team captains here guys, Dana said she's got four on her team." he said and they nodded in shock as Emmett said it for her. "Good grief, dad is helping the chief and the council with the murders he doesn't need this right now." Emmett said and she finished it with the next sentence.
"That's the understatement of the century Emmett, we don't need this right now what with the murders and the quartet. And with that, if you catch these kids in the act, do the report directly to their coaches and pull the plug." Beth said and we all nodded to her as Emmett answered that for me. "Well looks like we're covering the hunt and the health requirements here as well Bells." Emmett added and I nodded in agreement to that as I said it.
"Our parents don't need this added to their plates as well guys, we have to do it ourselves, and with that in mind, Ty', Rose, Emmett, guys, we get the names and turn the information over to the coaches and the faculty, my police orders were to play it safe, this falls under that." I said and she answered me at that as they took a seat at the table as well. "So we got different areas to cover this, we're at plan alpha, they're under observation."
"If another fight breaks out in the gym, or another case of screwing around in the cafeteria, we call a meeting at lunch, between all of us and turn them over to our coaches." I said and they all nodded in agreement to that. "So what's plan B exactly?" Emmett asked and I sighed. "Changing dietary requirements in the cafeteria till they're erratic behavior slowly eases up, but plan C is where we go to enforcing our new rules and D."
"We do what we should have done months ago and yank these kids off the teams and place them under medical suspension, under a specific diet and wait till they're clean completely, if they attack one of us, they're off the team and we replace them with the kids that tried out. That includes you and Jasper and from there we change things till life here relaxes completely." I said and he nodded as she answered me at that softly.
"Bella, rather than letting our parents deal with this, I think we better tell the faculty now, before it lands someone else in the hospital for passing out from the crash when the stimulates finally give out." she said and I nodded as I looked at Jenkins then to go into it. "You on the team, Mike told me you were on a stand down, but we need names to get this information to the coaches?" I asked and he nodded as he answered me.
"Yeah I've been scoping out the others, Bentley's my uncle, and he's not going to take it well when he hears this." he said and I nodded. "How much, is Peter showing any indicators?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah edginess, attitude changes, Rick caught it last week and this resulted in an altercation after he warned him he was telling his coach this." he said and I nodded, concerned as I looked at him and the others.
"What's the kid's surname exactly if Rick Wallace took a black eye for worrying about the guy?" I asked and she answered that one. "Peter Deacon, he's gotten arrested five times by your father and his team in the last three months for this, before you came home, as for this altercation, it just made it more clear, we need to put an end to this, too much caffeine makes the victim more prone to outbursts, their pushing their bodies past the breaking point for a full ride here ." she said to me and I nodded as I answered her.
"That explains the fist fight, before gym let out last Friday Jamie?" I asked and he nodded. "Yes, and that also explains why we came and arrested him honey. The fight is enough we had to arrest him, before he broke any bones or tore any muscles. With speed, speedballing with the alcohol and speed itself it turns into a wrestling match, which is why Eric and Jack called us to the school, which is why I arrived to deal with it." Dad told me and I nodded as I looked at Benson and Taylor who were behind me.
"Peter and I are going out on a limb here but this keeps up and they attack you for reporting them they're the ones getting arrested for attacking a teenage girl and one who's my daughter-in-law." Billy added as Mike sighed as he answered that. "Yeah with her being the daughter and god daughter to several ranking officials on our side of the fence, she's got protection by us in school, because our friendship is getting stronger every day." he said and Jamie nodded in agreement to that as he finished that remark.
"Yeah, I mean Reynolds's going to be furious when he hears this, all the coaches take it seriously with us, because our parents have known each other since they were our age, your dad hears this and he's going to be running drug busts when he finds out, and he doesn't need this added to his plate with the murders and that quartet on the loose." he said and I nodded as I thought it over. "Too late I already am son, he's losing his scholarship and place on the hockey team if he keeps this up. And he attacks any of you or attacks her and he's off the team." Reynolds said and he nodded in agreement.
"Jamie, who is the coach for what team during the spring semester, because if they're the ones in here during lunch we have to tell them before anyone lands themselves in the hospital?" I asked and he explained it. "Aside from Bentley, he leads the basketball team, Anderson leads the girls gymnastics team, while O'neill is the coach of the men's team."
"Renfield, Wilson, and Douglas do football, volleyball and golf during the fall, but eighty percent of the school sports are during the spring semester, and that's our teams and we got in total twenty four to thirty junkies and addicts on these teams that need a B average or to be completely clean health wise to compete and that's the school requirements too."
"Henderson does the swim teams, Reynolds is my coach, Camden leads the baseball team and McMurray leads the track teams, altogether they really take it seriously with us, with the fact our parents were the previous generation going here. Our coaches sees us as adoptive children and the town is pretty tight knit, so with that, as the council for our grade and the captains of our teams, if it takes running medical procedures we pull it."
"I think we better drop the bomb to our coaches and the faculty at lunch, before this results in car accident or near fist fight, because your parents, the cops and the quintet's father have enough on their plates right now." he said, referring to me and Tyler, as well as the Cullens, and I nodded in agreement to that, as I turned to look at Bentley, as I came a decision then. "Alright we're monitoring for the next week guys, if a fight breaks out and they're not listening to the coaches at lunch, or they break something."
"Than we're doing emergency medical plan delta guys, once we find out, every student screwing around with this stuff is on medical suspension. If they're taking caffeine pills or drinking those energy drinks, everything that has one or both stimulate is off limits till they're clean completely here in the high school. They need to drain the stimulate its running it off in P.E. class and for your team, Coach Anderson, they're off the equipment." I said to her and they nodded as Bentley answered me with a bemused smile on his face.
"Nice touch in battle strategy to prevent your classmates from ending up in the hospital for whatever reason honey. Alright once you guys go to medical conference in the cafeteria call us over and we're going to a junior staff and senior staff meeting between you as our junior faculty and us as senior faculty. But starting now the twenty of you are our junior faculty and staff members guys." he said and Carlisle finished that as he looked at us.
"The energy drinks, the ones with the high caffeine and sugar levels, we banned those from the school athletics, because the kids got addicted to those. Alright to repeat what Eric said, you guys crack this, report it to the faculty, and then report it to your godmother and the council, because they're banned from getting into the driver's seat of the car." Carlisle said and the quartet, Tyler and I nodded to the orders as the principal repeated that.
"Alright once you guys go into captain/medical team conference call us over and tell us what you figured out. And the entire faculty is giving that order, before we call the parents of the kids screwing around with this crap, and putting them into medical suspension from the team, give us your suggestion and we'll take it." he said and I nodded to his orders as he looked at me gently as Dr. Crowley went into that further as she looked at the coaches.
"I've been getting worried about the dieting as well honey, you better bring that up in the cafeteria when you give announcements for us. Any kids screwing around with this crap are banned from the athletic equipment if they're on the gymnastics teams and the pool if they're on the swim teams, I'm not risking anyone drowning or breaking any bones or pulling any muscles." Dr. Crowley said and dad finished that.
"Yeah and as far as the murders and the quartet are concerned I want you kids to stay out of the woods and if you see a girl walking faster and a quartet of four boys split up and two are following her, call the department and under no circumstances deal with it yourselves, understood." He said and they all nodded.
"Cub, that goes double for you, young lady." Billy said to me and I nodded. "I won't but I may have to pull the type of drug sting and lead them into an ambush for you guys, dad." I said and Dad sighed in exasperation. "Young lady you scared me out of my wits once too often, but the idiots in the P.A. department better call me when you call these brats in. Or I'm having their heads and jobs for this." he said with a firm look on his face.
"Got it dad, but with my job, I've got to play it by year, but this time, I'm changing the circumstances, till we end this and with those words in mind. It's going to be a very long eighteen months til like we get rid of our parasites at the moment. Because it ends before we start college in August." I said and they nodded in exasperation. "Maybe, just try not to get too reckless, or you're going to give all of us a heart attack, before you're twenty years old." Beth told me as she said it for all of them.
"I hope you brought your stuff to set up your class and office Aunt Beth, because with you being my coach and you're my maternal protector, the first junkie that attacks me is getting reported directly to you and Uncle Jack. With you're being my adopted relatives and with you here, that just added on to getting reported directly to family now, what with the fact that Aunt Sue is my adopted mother, you're, in extension, my aunt."
"So I got family in this school, they attack me and they got you and one of my uncles, by adoption, on their heads, and said family is the Quileute high council, which translates to they just got themselves ostracized." I said and she nodded. "Good point baby, we are your family, and with that these junkies attack you they got your entire family on their heads as a result. Yeah, alright guys, if there's a secondary attack, if they attack you guys on your team, and they attack her, get me, Eric, Sue and Jack immediately."
"Because this is enough that he, or they, if this was a planned hit and more than one person was in on it, is getting reported not only to the cops and the faculty administration, but directly to the council and they're banished from the reservation and first beach, for life." she said and they all nodded to the orders then. "Good choice in chosen faculty members Beth, she and I are already building our bond right now."
"And I really take harassment seriously as well after what happened to Sue, alright again guys. If this turns into a planned hit and our un-named players decide to attack her and you find the evidence in the locker, get us. And then all of you find the leader of the pack and bring them directly to us, because this is enough that not only is he getting expelled from this school, he's lost his shot when we find anything else in that locker of his."
"Boys with the ten of you always keeping her company, if he starts getting erratic when we're in gym or you see anything else get it to us and we go from there, but Michael with you being my current team captain with Eric Redford getting ready to graduate. I'm naming you my right hand now, Tyler second, and you three, David, Andy, Brian you guys are her in school pack, you as well girls." Bentley said, looking at the eight and they nodded. "Sure thing coach." They all said together and Jack looked at him.
"Until we transfer, could you and Sue cover for us Eric. With things only just getting started I get the feeling that once Edward realizes that we're family it's going to be non stop harassment regarding her bonds with us. With us being descended from wolves and because to him we're nothing but white trash, and Charlie hates discrimination with a passion, so with those words in mind, to her nothing is taking her away from us."
"He insults us, he insults her family and in extension, he insults the entire town by use of whatever he calls us with that remark. But starting now, best to just do us in personality till we transfer from La Push High to Forks High." he said and the duo nodded to his request then. "Sure Jack we will." Anderson said to him and he nodded. "Why do I feel like this school is turning into a paranormal high school now?" Eric asked me smiling.
"Because we got two groups that look like vampires and werewolves going to school here and I'm the median to control things in a case a fist fight breaks out between Paul and Cullen, though that happens and he's getting suspended for a month. When he needs to be arrested by two adult wolves in the cafeteria and 20% of the faculty is in there, along with the guidance counselor." I said to him and Malcolm answered that in annoyance.
"You better believe he's getting suspended for a month for that, violence is against the rules in this high school, the first fight that breaks out between you kids is getting the person who started the fight a month of OSS." he said and we all nodded to that. "Yes well, with the Cullens now getting integrated completely into the school, Edward's getting the consequences like every other student, but his reaction last week."
"It got the entire class's attention when I walked into the room and he knocked a chair over when he got up, a chair that nearly broke several pieces of lab equipment, several test tubes and a rack in the corner next to our station Mr. Malcolm." I told him and Carlisle sighed. "Don't worry Jack, Derek, John, I'm going to have a very stern talk with him later for that, but a fight breaks out between him and the Cubs here in my station and he's losing his car keys for a month." he said and the staff nodded to that gently.
"Alright Emmett, Jasper, I want to see you with the basketball, so it's ten on ten in the gym tomorrow after school for the next practice and we can set up special teams while we're doing it till our current junkies are fully recovered." Tyler said and they both nodded. "Alice, Rose, same for you and Bella." Jessie added and we all nodded, smiling. "This ought to be, I can't wait to see you with the basketball." Dana said smiling to them.
"Like the guys we got the same type of situation here, so while Paul is likely to break a rib through the pads, we got the added issue of slowing things down so those slam dunks are likely to break the board, so watch yourself." Emmett said and Carlisle hid a smile. "I'm lucky I'm donating to the school then, but slow your strength down son, before you break the hoop and the backboard while shooting." he said and they chuckled at that.
