Part 15 - Tribal Meeting

Bella and Charlie were both invited, not only for they were dating one of their own but also for they were family to the Aterea's and Bella and Sam had spoken about their future recently, just amongst themselves, but they had agreed to take it slow and see where it lead them first. For they were in the grounds best friends, before they became boyfriend/girlfriend item and that friendship was strong and healthy, and that was what made their relationship even stronger now being an item.

So the two sat with Sam, his parents (Josh and Alison.) and Tiffany with her son, Embry and Quil and his grandfather and mother on the other side of Charlie's. Bella gave Alison a smile and the same to Josh, who both gave one back, and the gavel in Old Quil's hand sounded and all the small talks stopped around them, and he said

"First welcome to our annual meeting as tribe tonight. As you can see we have few new faces around here, and these two to those who couldn't come to their housewarming party for a week ago, are Charles and Isabella Swan. Father and daugther duo. Most know them as Charlie and Bella though. Welcome in to our tribe you two. Now to the meeting itself, we have some issues, that we have to deal with tonight. And that is Jacob Black and his parents; Billy and Sarah Black. Their daugthers, Rachel and Rebecca are not here tonight as Rebecca recently moved to Hawaii with her husband, Solomon, and Rachel is away at college up in Seattle. But they know the issues, and they are on our side after hearing all the details about the issue we have with their members of family."

Many sat intrigued, while Billy and Sarah shared a look amongst themselves, so full into themselves, and Jacob sat bit pale and worried of why he was mentioned for and that was Old Quil said

"We are adressing something that is very serious issue with Jacob Black, and that is he feels he had a right to ask Isabella Swan how much was Samuel Uley paying him to be her boyfriend and not date him freely. Well, little boy, that itself is wrong of you to even dare to say or ask about. For it is not YOUR business to know anything, and Isabella is not dating Samuel for that reason, that itself shows how ill you are and how dangerous you are becoming to be like as a person that is still growing up and becoming a man yourself that you are not yet either. You have alot of years still to grow up and mature, before any love comes into your life. It is sad you think you are privedliged to have anyone just for you think you are in love with someone. No that is NOT love, boy, that is sick mind of being obsessed with a older woman, not a girl anymore, that clearly has said many times now, that she is NOT interested in you, young boy. And that itself should tell you something about it. Sarah, William, you need to stop being so up into your own staring and not caring about your son's clear issues with any girls and woman around here, not just Isabella Swan. I have heard some stories from girls at your son's school, and it is scary and frankly sickening of what I have heard so far of those girls and even some boys at the school thinks of your son's behaviour. Even teachers are worried to bits, as they too seen and heard enough to raise the alarms to myself. As I am the Eldest Elder and the Leader of this tribe until the day my grandson is ready to take the mantle from me. My replacement will not be a Black instead if I am too sickly and my grandson is not ready yet to take the mantle, that person is Joshua Uley or Charles Swan to take over. Both being trained right now to be my replacement if needed in future."

Many sat intrigued and worried aswell shocked to hear who would take over if the old man was not feeling good or had died and Quil Jr wasn't ready yet to take over, then the newcomer or Joshua Uley would take over that role then and that they knew how to do these meetings aswell. Charlie was hugged by his daugther, as she congratulated him for being chosen as one of the replacements and he just smiled kissed her head. Josh was hugged and kissed by his Alison. Sam shook his dad's hand in gratitude and happiness for his part too. Jacob, Billy and Sarah sat in shock, pale and anger.

Sarah said angrily without thinking at Old Quil;

"HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE US OF FAILURE AND THAT OUR SON IS A DANGEROUS BEING, OLD MAN!"

Many gasped, as she too paled and sat down, ashamed of what she had shouted, while Billy held her in his arms, and Jacob was just in shocked and anger, as Old Quil said

"This is the reason, for I have heard enough of your son's sickly behaviour around any girls and women to be alarmed enough to call for this emergency meeting to be done tonight, for he needs help, professional help. It is ENOUGH now, especially as one of the girls from his school came forward to me anonymously that he has made some sexual comments and moves on her, that she DID NOT want or need from him, as she is in a very loving, caring and mature relationship with her own boyfriend that she loves more than anything. Your son may be just 14, but he clearly acts like he is the freaking king of the world, well you are NOT and NEVER will be either. For your father was outed out of this elder for his own behaviour and decisions around things, made us boot him out and he will never be allowed back in, for that behaviour is not welcomed or needed around us. We needed a head that is clear on its mission and not on other things that may matter to you only, and none else."

Bella was shocked to hear what Jacob had almost done to this girl, and Sam held her hand in his, as he was very pissed and Bella knowing his moods and all that, she just turned to him and wrapped an arm around his neck, and it instantly helped him to calm down for her touch had always helped him to cool down abit. Charlie had red cheeks, clear signs of his own anger and disbelief of what he had heard so far, and Tiffany was hugged by her son, as he knew what that part was for her to hear, as she had told him recently with Charlie by her side about his real father, and it had been a man from here who had raped her and gotten her pregnant with her loving son, that she did not regret at all to have. Bella didnt know this yet, but she had a feeling of it, when she saw Embry hug his mother and she looked rather pale too.

Sam looked over to his parents, and they were both battling with their emotions, as it was clear on their faces for sure. Others were ranging with same emotions around the room or house they were in. Jacob tried to sit smaller in his seat as his parents had still disbelief and anger on their faces of what had been said so far about their precious son. Rachel who was with the room on face-time, yelped out to everyone to hear her;

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, JACOB EPHRIAM BLACK, WHERE THE HELL DID MOM AND DAD GO WRONG WITH YOU, FOR THAT IS NOT MY BROTHER WHATSOEVER. OR NOT THE ONE I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE LIKE AT THIS AGE. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO, MOM, DAD?!"

Many sat in shock as they didnt know she would be yelling like that, and Rebecca's voice came through from her side;

"YES, SISTER, I AGREE ON THAT, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU THREE, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE ANYMORE, AND I AM AFRAID TO EVEN ASK IF I WANT TO KNOW YOU ANYLONGER DUE TO THIS BEING REVEALED TO US TOO."

And she could then be heard sniffling and a man's voice near her comforting her the best he could, and most knew this must be her husband, Solomon, and gave soft smiles to her screen aswell to Rachel, who sat with a boy next to her, and she said

"Oh this here is my boyfriend of 1 year, Matt. Matt, I am so sorry you had not to only meet my cleary troubled, deranged family today, but also got to meet some of my fellow tribe members. Matt is also a native american man from the Fort Peck Tribe in Montana."

Matt said his polite hello's to them all on the screen, and held an easy arm around Rachel's shoulders, to give the comfort she clearly needed for now. All of the others including Bella and Charlie told him welcome to the tribe and family as we all are family in a way here. Matt just smiled and nodded as he said

"I welcome you all to my tribe aswell, as Fort Peck is a brother tribe to your tribe as of today. My parents are the tribe's leaders and they are welcoming you in with warm, open arms whenever you can and will show up in Montana where our tribe is at."

Many smiled and nodded at this, and Old Quil then said

"I have no choice to do this then, Matthew, was it?"

"Yes, Eldest Elder of Quileute Tribe?"

"Are you able to get in contact with your parents in some way, and let them know that we are sending one of our own to their tribe for help with his mental issues aswell his parents for their own treatment plans to get them on track on things and not so spacey and all loved up on themselves and forgetting about their children in general?"

"Oh we are defiantly up to it, Hello everyone, I am Matthew's father, Michael and this is my loving wife, Annabelle, and we are more than happy to send our men and women to you, and fetch the three Black's for their clear treatments."

"Thank you so much, Michael and Annabelle. What is your last names by the ways?"

"Our last name is Sutton. We also have 4 more children here with us, including Matthew as our eldest son."

Making most of the room around the quileute tribe nod, and Jacob looked rather frighten and shaky, as he realised that he would be taken away from here and be treated for some sickness he didnt believe he even had, and his parents too would get their own treatment but away from him, and it frighten him alot. Same was with Billy and Sarah, who were frighten of being seperated from each other now and sat clinging on each other.

The meeting ended after few more words on that part, and the three Black's were walking to their home with some tredipation and fear in their steps now that they knew what was going to happen to themselves by tomorrow lunch hour.

Bella and Sam walked to his place, as she recently had begun to sleep over there more often, and she really loved his place aswell, as they spoke about her moving in there in the near future but for now she was happy to be around her dad and lived with him, Tiffany and Embry, but she still loved to come to Sam's and sleep there every now and then, and being almost 19, her dad had no issues either, for they were not having sex yet either, as it was all so recent with their relationship, and wanted to take time to get know each other romantically before sex and all that came to play.

So before they seperated, they each gave a hug to her dad, Tiffany and Embry, who asked Sam if he could stop by tomorrow, for some help with his math, and Sam agreed to help him out, and Bella would serve them all with some lunch, and that her dad and Tiff was more than happily welcome to come for lunch if they wanted to.

It made them smile but decline as they had plans for a lunch date tomorrow at the local diner, but would come another day, and that made all nod and smile, then Sam and Bella went to his house, and the others to Swan's place.

And after some snacks and a movie, Bella and Sam fell asleep in each other's arms in his bed, rather happy with the outcome of the meeting tonight. Same could be said with the others, it was just hard on those three Black's as they were packing in panic and took off in the dead night somewhere unknown but would be back later on this year for sure. Not changed one bit either. But at that time away, things were changing in the tribe and with its peoples for sure too.
