Chapter 4
I honestly didn't want to hear anything else about Jacob or the Blacks tonight so I decided to escape to my bedroom for the night after finishing with the dishes. I don't know why all of a sudden my dad has this big plan of me being involved with someone so much younger than me. Not to mention I didn't even know the guy and got a very bad feeling when he was around. No way is that happening. I still have free will and I am very stubborn. I guess to pass time I'll do homework then see what other information I can find. Homework shouldn't take long since I seem to remember things pretty good. Once finished with that I hoped back on my computer and was looking into the shifter legends to see if there was any reason for my dad to be so for the Blacks and me being around them so much. After reading for awhile I came upon the legends of imprinting. Hah sounds like brainwashing to me. I mean seriously you don't have a choice in the matter from how it sounds. Your mind is made up for you. You think you love the person but it's only so you can crank out puppies with the best wolf genes. Yay so not for me. I don't plan on having children after having to always take care of my parents. If I did it would have to be with someone I loved by own choice and loved them more than anything or anyone else in the world not because of some voodoo saying I have to be with someone. It says the imprint happens the first time they meet their victim, I mean imprint. Well there goes the theory I'm Jacob's imprint since the only thing I felt when I met him was wary disgust. Hmmm sounds like dad was talking to someone. Wonder who it was this late. Going to the door and sneaking to the top of the stairs I listened carefully and it sounded like he was on the phone with someone and by the conversation it was Billy. Great what are those two up to now? All I could hear was one side of the conversation but Dad was telling him that I denied wanting to get to know Jacob and he didn't know how to change my mind. Then I heard him saying he knew that it had been promised when I was born that the tribe would be connected to my magic and no he wasn't backing out that he wanted them to be together as much as Billy did. That he wanted them to be family but that he couldn't force me. The conversation went on to say that he would suggest me going with him to the rez over the weekend if that didn't work he would have Jacob just show up here to bring something over. Ha you have been busted dad and I want nothing to do with the dog or the rez. Going back to my room I began to plan. I was rather annoyed that it seemed that my dad knew all about me going to be getting powers and said nothing. I had no clue of my heritage and knew nothing about being a witch but he had known all along. What gave him the right to keep me in the dark all my life and then try to push some guy I don't know or want to know onto me just so people I don't know could have the advantage of my magic. Nope not going to happen at all. So I began to plan. I was going to befriend the one group of people who I knew from the information I got the shifters hated. I was going to make friends with the Cullen's and I was going to put my plan into effect tomorrow at school. Once that was settled I got ready for bed excited about tomorrow and getting started with my plan. I woke up and jumped out of bed ready to head off to school. I figured I'd try talking to the short little spiky haired girl Alice. She seemed like the friendliest one besides Edward and I was just to afraid to talk to him yet. After getting out of the shower and heading down stairs I noticed that Charlie or dad was still there. Oh boy this should be good.
"Hi Dad. What are you still doing here don't you have work today?" " Yes I do, but I wanted to talk to you before I left. I was hoping that you'd want to go with me down to the rez tonight. Sue Clearwater is cooking for us and the Blacks. It would be a good time for you to get to know Jacob since he wants to spend time with you."
" Sorry Dad but I have a ton to get caught up on from school since I started to late in the semester and I was going to ask one of the girls from school to help me out. Also I already told you I don't want to be getting involved with Jacob. I don't even have any desire to be friends with him. He's way too young for me to date and there is no way I have anything in common with a 15 yr old boy to be friends with him. I understand you're friends with the people on the rez but I'm not interested in going down there. I've got school to worry about and getting into the college I want which happens to be Alaska. They have a great literature program and I'll be sending my application soon." Charlie didn't look happy but it wasn't long till my 18th birthday so I wasn't worried about.
"Gotta go dad or I'll be late for school. See you tonight."
" Bella hang on. The people down there are my friends and have been there for me my whole life. I think it would be a great idea for you to get to know them. I really think you should go tonight or even this weekend."
" Sorry Dad but I have to go. Bye" After that I just walked out the door not wanting to hear anymore, jumped into my truck and drove off to school. I really hope this plan with the Cullen's works.
