Chapter Fourteen

Hazel POV

Y'know how it feels to be watched? Like, someone was watching you? But all the time? I was constantly on edge and every little noise would spook me. My therapist said it was the PTSD but I wasn't convinced.

I sighed for the billionth time that day. Paul and I kissed a week ago, and I still haven't been able to stop thinking about it. We've hardly even seen each other since then because Sam had upped patrols. I was actually really starting to miss him, as much as that scares me. I looked over at the kitchen table and smiled at Penny. She was drawing a picture for Paul. We were all going over to Sam and Emily's for dinner, and by all I mean us and Bella and the rest of the pack. I was extremely nervous. I've been around the pack plenty of times before, but that was out in the open, where I could run if I needed to. Other than that, the only time I was around them was when I fainted in Jake's backyard.

I finished the last dish I was washing and dryed my hands before walking over to P. I brushed the hair back from her face and looked at her drawing. I felt my face go beat red.

"P-Penny, what did you draw?" With shaky hands I picked up the piece of paper to inspect it further.

"It's us with Paul. I want him to be my new daddy, mommy. I really like him." She gave me her sure nod and crossed her arms. I blew out a breath of air. It was three stick figures and written above each one was mommy, me, and then Paul. I shook my head and handed it back to her.

"Go get dressed for dinner, sweetie. And please don't put on any of mommy's makeup!"

"Getting into your makeup again?" I jumped about ten feet in the air and turned around to see Paul leaning against the wall.

"Dear lord, I didn't even hear you come in. Don't scare me like that!" I hit him with the wash rag on the counter and he laughed at me.

"Sorry, guess I'm just sneaky." He winked at me before walking to me in two steps and pulling me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his waist and rested my chin on his chest so I could look up at him. "I missed you." He whispered before giving me a quick kiss. I smiled and felt my cheeks redden.

"I missed you, too. Although, I think Penny might have me beat. She hasn't stopped talking about you."

"Is that why she drew this picture?" He grinned at me as he grabbed the paper Penny had been working on. I felt my face flush. His eyes softened at the paper and he smiled a little wider as he set it down on the table. He kissed me on the nose before pulling me in for a tighter hug. I felt him breath in my hair and he sighed happily. I giggled at him and swatted his stomach as I pulled away.

"Paul!" Penny came barreling into the kitchen dressed in jeans and her favorite sweatshirt. It was nearing spring time but it was still on the chilly side. Paul bent down and lifted Penny up high above his head before pulling her in for a hug. I smiled. Penny giggled as Paul attacked her with tickles and spun her around the room.

"You ready to go, squirt?" He asked. Penny nodded enthusiastically before he set her down so she could put on her boots. Paul looked over at me with a brow raised and a smile on his lips. I shook my head and made my way over to wear my boots were.

Everything was finally coming together and I was finally starting to be happy. So why did I feel like everything was going to come crashing down on me again?

~~~TOS~~~

I always loved Emily's house. It was so homey and warm. It was a cute little two bedroom one bath red house in La Push. The driveway was long and had trees hiding it, practically secluded. Which was good, considering a bunch of wolves were always there phasing. Ever since Leah and Seth phased, there was a lot of tension. Especially between Sam, Emily and Leah. I don't know much about what happened, just that Emily and Leah are cousins and Leah used to date Sam. I figured they were torn apart by the imprint. Its sad, to hear to have to be separated from someone because of some magic and not for something more humane.

What can you do though?

I hoped Leah would imprint soon, mostly so she wouldn't be so sad and but also because she always gave me the stink eye everytime I was around Paul.

When we arrived at Sam and Emily's, everyone was already inside. I got Penny out of her carseat and Paul and I walked hand in hand up the porch and into the home. We were greeted with a bunch of hello's and what's up. Jake came over and took Penny from me after giving me and hug and then went into the living so she could play with Claire. They were about the same age and Claire was Quil's imprint, which I thought was weird. I didn't ask about it.

Bella came up to me and gave me a big hug before asking me how I was. We haven't seen much of each other lately since she's been going to school and spending the majority of her time with Jake. I was also busy with work and therapy. We were still sisters and best friends, no matter how much time we spend apart. Nothing was going to change that.

"Do you have the weekend off?" She asked.

"This weekend?" She nodded yes. "Yeah, actually I do. Why?"

"We should go to Seattle! You, me, and Penny. It'll be a total girl's weekend, and it'll give us plenty of time to catch up." Bella's eyes were switching from me to the floor. A sure sign that she was lying.

"What are you not telling me?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest and narrowed my eyes at her. She sighed and grabbed me by the arm before pulling me outside. Once we were seated on the little porch swing and she opened her mouth, I felt my whole world fall apart.

She told me about everything, about James and Victoria and how Edward had killed James and now Victoria was after her because she believed her to still be Edward's mate. A mate for a mate. Essentially, what we could gather was that Victoria wants Edward to suffer as much as she had. I felt my blood boil and I clenched my eyes shut. I was pissed. My sister's life was in danger because of a stupid fucking mate for a mate when she wasn't even Edward's mate anymore. When I opened my eyes all I saw was red.

"Do you still have Alice's old cell phone number?" I asked threw clenched teeth. She slowly nodded her head yes. I held my hand out for her phone and she set it in my hand. I quickly unlocked it and went to Alice's contact.

"They all changed their numbers, I've tried-"

"Yes, hi, is this Alice?" I asked once the phone stopped ringing. Bella's eyes widened.

"Yes! Are you Hazel?" Her voice was chipper and she sounded happy and it pissed me off.

"Yes, I am. Is Fuckward around? I have a few words to speak with him." My jaw was still clenched and by now Sam, Paul, and Jake were outside with wide eyes.

"Yes, just one moment." I breifly heard her hand the phone to someone else and then I heard his voice. It was too smooth, too soft spoken, and too perfect. I saw Paul shaking from the corner of my eye and I walked over to him and wrapped my arm around his waist and kissed him on the cheek. He stopped shaking and wrapped me up in his arms, burrying his nose in my hair.

"Yes, this is Edward." I grinnned at the way he said his name. So he had heard me call him Fuckward.

"I have a bone to with you, buddy. For the record, I can't stand you. I think you're a piece of shit for what you did to Bella. How dare you come into her life, make her love you more than herself, and fucking leave her in the woods? Are you aware of how fucked that is? Don't you wince at my use of language. I will fucking demolish your mom car with a baseball bat. I'm not afraid of you, Dracula. Victoria is about to try and rip my sister away from me, like how you did the first time only worse. You better fix this, Tinker Bell." At that I shut the phone and took several deep breaths to calm down. I didn't realize I was shaking until Bella was in my arms and sobbing into my chest. I raised a shakey hand and rubbed her back.

I'd rather turn into a sparkling fucking corpse than to have my sister taken away from me again.

Okay this was more of a filler chapter to get everything set in motion for what's to happened next in the story. I'm aware of how messed up the timeline is and yada yada yada. Right now they're nearing the end of Feb. and the reason why things are happening later and some sooner is because of the disruption Hazel has caused by being added to the Twilight universe.

Anyway I hope you liked it and don't forget to R&R
