Trouble in the Quileute Paradise

Featuring Paul's PoV, Billy's PoV, Emily's PoV, Bella's PoV

(PPoV)

I walked into Jacob's house and sat in the recliner as I heard that stupid leech lover breathing in the next room over. In one hour, I heard her wiggle and wake from her slumber.

Great… Now the Leech Babysitting starts… I growled inwardly.

She walked out in her day time clothes which surprised me. I was expecting her to be in pajamas.

"Good Morning… Paul" she muttered not looking at me. I could feel her tense up when she said my name.

Is she afraid of me? Oh, hahaha this is going to be great. I smiled.

She grabs a cup of coffee and sits in the couch farthest from me and quietly drinks her cup of coffee. I then remembered the conversation that I had with Jacob last night.

(Flashback Memory)

So, does she even know what imprinting is Jacob?I asked through the pack mind.

No. She does not need to know about it Paul. It will only offset her mending while she is here. Jacob growled in response.

I had always wondered why he had a thing for her. I proceeded to ask and explain.

You don't think she needs to know? Jacob if you do imprint and she does not know what that is it could be of more harm to her than good? Besides that why do you honestly like her? She dated a Leech! The enemy of our people! I countered.

Paul, she is my best friend! I have had a crush on her for a while but I knew that it was not going to be a reality. She fell in love with that leech but that leech left. She is hurting Paul. I hate how badly that leech fucked her up. If I said this, she could run the hills and never come back. I do not want that He countered back with strong convection

(End of Flashback)

Running to hills eh? Not a bad idea at all Black! I sneered.

She was looking down at her coffee when I said her name.

"Bella." I said quietly

"Yes, Paul?" she replied a small stream of fear entered her voice.

"Has Jacob ever told you of what imprinting is?" I asked innocently.

"No? What is that?" she had asked instead of fear there was curiosity.

"Oh, well then never mind. If he has not told you then I probably should not open my mouth." I said dangling the carrot of information in front of her.

"Paul… You had a reason to bring it up… So just spill the beans" she replied aggravation setting in her tone.

Oh dear leech lover, are you finally getting irritated. I thought inwardly.

"Well since you are so demanding" I continued with the charade. "It is like love at first sight but a hell of a lot stronger!"

"Has Jake Imprinted?" She asked in a small voice.

My, my, you foolish Leech Lover! I thought to myself.

"No he hasn't! So what are you-, hey where in the hell do you think you are going?" I growled as I saw her bolting it toward the front door keys in hand.

"I am going to Emily's!" She sobbed out.

"Why go there, take a hint Leech Lover! You are going to stay here till Jacob gets back or you can go home!" I smiled devilishly.

"Like Hell She is!" Another male voice made me turn around and be in utter shock.

(BBPoV)

"Like Hell she is!" I roared.

"B-Billy I thought you were going to be at Sue's!" Paul stammered and moved back a little.

"Bella my dear, go to Emily's. Paul and I will have a nice little chat." I commented. She immediately did what she was told and left quickly.

"Now" I turned and face Paul. "What in the hell do you think you were doing Paul!" I roared again.

"After everything she has gone through and you want to make it worse!" I continued my anger was far beyond out of my control.

"Do you know why she was brought here?! DO YOU?! ANSWER ME DAMN IT!" I kept yelling.

"N-n-n-no S-s-s-s-sir" Paul cowered in fear.

"She came here to heal! To be free from those damn atrocious reminders of that damned leech. Then you with your ever pouring and idiotic mouth decide to come here and push her back to the pits of depression!" I continued.

He was quivering in fear and my anger boiled.

"What do you have to say for yourself" I said for the first time not yelling.

"Answer me. Answer me. ANSWER ME" I growled. When he did not reply.

"Paul get the hell out of my house and may the spirits help you if my son gets a hold of you!" I howled out as he ran out of my door.

I slammed my fist on the table and picked up my phone to call Emily.

I had better let her know about Bella. I thought to myself and trying to keep calm.

"Emily, I know I do not have much time so will you please listen to me?" He asked calmly.

"Of course Billy" she responded sweetly.

"Bella is on her way to your house. Paul opened his mouth about imprinting and shook her up a bit emotionally before she left. Due to his actions it could have set Bella back a few squares in the mending process. If you could do me the favor of calming her down and being reasonable, I would appreciate it." I commented quickly.

"Oh no if Jacob hears this, O Great Spirits…" she muttered.

"It is exactly what I was thinking. But one more favor if I could tax you with it?" I asked politely

"You know the answer is yes Billy" she giggle quietly.

"Ask her about the Cullen Clan. It might help us understand them since she was in close proximity with them." I muttered.

"I will do my best Billy. I think she is here" She muttered.

"Goodbye Emily" I muttered quickly.

"Bye Billy" She replied and the phone line went dead when my Son and Sam entered the house.

(EPoV)

I went to the door to find Bella with her arm raised to knock. I noticed she was crying and sobs running through her body. I helped enter my house and then wrapped her up into a hug.

"Hey Bella" I muttered as I wrapped her up.

"Hi Emily" she sobbed.

The crying slowly went to breaking down. I moved her to the couch and helped her get through this bout of crying.

It was going on ten o'clock and I had heard Bella's belly growl in hunger. I looked at her gently and noticed that the tears had stopped.

"Are you hungry Bella?" I asked gently.

She nodded and got up with me to go to the kitchen.

She entered the kitchen after me and I took a small pause.

"No ma'am you go to bar and I will fix you breakfast." I said shooing her gently out of the kitchen.

"Emily…" she started protesting.

"No exceptions" I giggled.

She groaned quietly and went to the bar. I watched her watch me as I started fixing scrambled eggs with Bell peppers, Onions, and Mushrooms.

"Can I ask you a question Emily?" she asked hesitantly.

"Of course Bella" I responded as I put the eggs in a skillet and began to scramble them.

"If Jake Imprints… Do his feelings for me completely vanish?" she asked her voice had a little hysteria in it.

"No, they do not go away. But they will diminish some." I replied knowing this was not going to help but lying to her was not going to help either.

"Has this happened before? Where one of the pack guys likes someone then imprints on someone else?" She asked.

"Yes it has happened." I replied getting a small knot in my stomach. The eggs were almost ready so I went to the fridge to grab some cheese.

I heard her remain silent and confused.

"It was Leah, Sam, and I." I answered question.

Shock came across her face and bewilderment in her eyes.

"Sam has tried to reach out to Leah and apologize. But Leah is very bitter about the whole situation. She hates me for taking Sam away from her, even though I had nothing to do with it." I commented.

A worried look then spread over Bella's face as she wondered in her own mind.

"But Bella" I said quietly and saw her eyes meet mine.

"You should not have to worry about this. Jacob has meant a lot of people from other reservations and has not imprinted." I explained to her.

"That's just it. What if someone comes and he imprints. Emily I can't lose him." She said thickly.

"Bella, you need to have faith! Pray and believe in Jacob and in yourself. Nothing should stop you from being happy with the one person who you might want to spend the rest of your life with." I smiled. My motherly speeches always had some small effect on her.

"Emily, you are right." She sighed. "I get so worked up sometimes and I just can't control myself."

"It is okay Bella" I muttered as I sat a plate of eggs and bacon that I just finished off of the pan.

She and I started to eat quietly. When we both came close to finishing, I would keep my promise to Billy.

"Bella, I do have one question from the Pack." I looked at her silently.

"Yea?" she said looking at me with curiosity.

"Do Vampires have special abilities?" I continued hesitantly.

(BSPoV)

"What do you mean?" I asked confused at her question.

"Besides the strength and speed, do they manifest other abilities?" she clarified.

"Well Alice could see bits and pieces of the future depending on a person's decision. Jasper could control emotions of people. And Edward" I said through clenched teeth.

"Could read minds" I finished quietly.

"He could read your mind?" She asked astonished.

"Actually, he could not read my mind. Due to his inability of being able to I pissed him off a lot." I smiled a small smile.

"So he could not access your brain." She asked.

"He always said I was like a mental mute" I muttered silently.

"Well go take a shower! I am having Sam bring you clothes. Those you wore last night!" She chastised me.

"Yes Emily" I giggled silently as she handed me a towel and I proceeded to her bathroom.

I got in and the hot water first scalded my cold skin. The burning sensation soon transformed to a relaxing kind of heat like Jacob always had. Thinking of him made me miss him.

I wonder how much trouble I am in now for running off… I thought quietly.

I hope I will at least get to see him I hoped inwardly.

I finished cleaning off all the soap and dried off and noticed my clean clothes on the counter. I got dressed and brushed my hair.

I walked out to Sam having some eggs and talking with Emily.

"Bella…" Sam said looking down at the ground looking down at the ground.

"Sam" I replied.

"We are really sorry for Paul's actions. We hope that you will choose to stay here…" he muttered.

"It is going to take more than Paul to shoo me off of the Rez." I said confidently.

Sam smiled at my brave words and finished his breakfast.

"Thank you for bringing my clothes by way." I smiled gently.

"You are welcome Bella" He replied as he put his dishes in the sink.

"Well we are going to see Old Elder Quil." Sam said holding up my keys.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Just want to test a small theory" Sam continued as we exited his house.
