Chapter Two

Angel pulled to a stop outside of the meeting hall. He had called several moments ahead and let Billy Black know he wished to request a meeting with the elders. Billy having no real reason to say no. Angel got out of his truck and walked up to the hall doors. He took a deep breath and walked inside. He looked around see all the elders.

"Hello Billy long time no see" he said softly. Billy grinned up at the boy. "Angel it's good to see you again. I know it ain't a social call but you need to visit more often my boy,"

"I will try but your right this is not a social call," Angel said before sitting down in a empty spot "I'm here to ask to use your healers. See I'm allergic to anything artificial including medicine and your the only place around here that uses herbal healers. Which I need the most for my health care. I personally will pay for each visit I use to go to gypsy healers in Phoenix because of this. With my allergies it makes life hard because one wrong thing can end my life. I almost died getting my vaccines for school. I was in the hospital for months after that they couldn't use any medicine on me because I was allergic to it. It took years to find out I was allergic to artificial stuff and I was in the hospital most of till I was six. So yeah I had to find herbal healers to take care of me," His explanation put a thoughtful look on Billy's face.

"Well, I don't have a problem with it, I'll consult with the other elders to see if they do." He walked away leaving Angel sitting alone in the room he was in. It surprisingly didn't take very long for Billy to reappear. When he did he brought surprisingly good news with him. "The others don't see a problem with you using our healers. So long as you are respectful to them." Angel smiled at him. "I was planning on being nothing but the most respectful."

Billy nodded at him grinning. "I know you would kiddo. Now remember to come visit Jacob and I in the future. We miss you kid. You and that sister of yours." Angel waved him off easily as he left. "Sure thing Billy I'll let bells know we need to visit."

Angel headed home humming to himself. He was beyond happy his healthcare was set up. Despite his happy mood was fairly weary because of the current vampire residence. Alice despite being seemingly friendly still made him wonder, did she or the other cullens mean harm to his family? As he got home his head was full with these types of thoughts.

He got out of his truck, closing the door than heading inside. He smelled food the second he opened the door, walking into the kitchen only to find Bella cooking. "My lovely sister are you making anything with artificial shit or will i be safe?" he asked. "It's all natural" she said waving her wooden spoon at him. "I told Charlie your allergies so your safe" she continued a small smile on her face.

He smiled "you're a lifesaver. Anyway my healthcare is taken care of" he watched her cook still standing by the entrance of the kitchen "That's good." she mumbled off handedly as she continued her work. "Billy says to visit" he continued. She nodded as she cooked. He sighed softly "we should make time to visit them." Angel stated sitting at the table. Bella got into her cooking so he wasn't to surprised by her lack of interest in the conversation.

He smiled "I haven't sensed any demons in town since we got here, so I think we are safe here for awhile." Bella nodded humming to herself "good I rather not fight demons while on vacation away from mom. Beside I'm not a fighter you and mom are. I'm just support so I rather them stay away." She said as she set the table.

Angel nodded "I know that's why I scanned the area. The only thing I found was shifters and the Cullens. You will figure out what they are when your ready. They are not demons is all I'm saying. Anyway i know there are four other witches in the area, so we have to be careful not to encroach onto their territory. We should meet with them and set up boundaries." He said to her as he watched her set the table. She nodded "yes we should. We wouldn't want to intrude if there is already protectors." Angel was curious as to why these witches would allow vampires within their territory. It was something he was looking forward to finding out.

The table now set for three people Angel glanced at his father's plate than back to Bella. "When did Charlie say he was getting off?" Bella wrinkled her nose. Eyebrows pulled together. Angel cracked a small smile at the look of concentration she now sported. "Is soon a good enough answer?"

Angel shook his head frowning. "Maybe we should talk to Charlie? Get a better feel for his schedule so that we can work around it. Spend as much time as we can with him." Bella smiled at her twin. "I like that idea, that is one of the main reasons we came to Washington, to spend time with him." several minutes later they decided to begin eating despite Charlie not arriving yet.

"Have you started on the garden?" Angel asked when they had finished. Bella pickled up Charlies plate. Placing it in the microwave as they wandered into the living room. "Yes, actually I have. I began to prepare the spot we are placing the garden. I'm halfway through the hoeing process." Angel made a face that Bella shook her head at.

"Don't worry brother dearest I plan on planting the garden so you can save yourself from the grimy work. All you truly have to do is help me keep up with the plants." Angel released a breath in relief. He liked gardening don't get him wrong but the amount of dirt he got on him the last time he had hoed up a place for a garden. Than planted the seeds had almost made him not want to garden anymore.

He enjoyed the cleaner side of life to be frank with you. Starting a garden was not on the cleaner side of life. Bella as if catching what he was thinking laughed shaking her head at him. "You are such a girl sometimes." Angel placed his hand over his heart in false offense. "Well you sister act like a male most of the time. Your omega side barely shows through. I'm almost surprised you aren't an alpha." Bella laughed at that.

"I'm to nurturing, we both know that." Angel nodded at her. She was very nurturing not only to him but to their mother as well. Not that Angel could blame her. Their mother did tend to be a bit flighty.

Charlie had fortunately arrived home soon after. He had been surprised that Bella had made super. "Thanks kiddo." Bella and Angel both sat down at the table with him. To converse over his day and their own as he ate.

"Your welcome dad." Charlie cleared his throat scratching his chin before releasing a breath of air. "How did your days go?" Angel was the first to speak up. "After school we went to port angeles to pick up supplies for a garden. We began to build it in the back." Bella cut in here, "is that ok?" Charlie's cleared his throat with a nod. "That's fine, you guys need to be comfortable here. Anything that makes you comfortable is ok with me." Angel smiled as he continued.

"I went down to the reservation to talk with the elders after we bought my new truck. They agreed so I have my healthcare secured." Charlies nodded. "I was actually worried about that, was gonna talk to billy myself tomorrow about it. It's good you took care of it kiddo." Angel was slightly baffled Charlie had thought about him to that extent. A hand now placed over his heart he nodded. "Yes, also thank you for thinking about my health." Charlie waved him off almost immediately. "Your my kid. It's my job as a parent." Bella picked up after that small exchange.

"I pretty much came home started on the garden then after a good amount of work, took a bath and started supper." she flustered to the food Charlie was now eating. "Sorry I was late coming home. A new case just started up and I lost track of time. I'll try to keep you guys more informed." Bella bit her lip glancing at Angel who just seemed to be going more and more surprised.

"We were actually going to ask that you do. I'm, or we, as in Angel and I are happy you also feel this way." an awkward silence followed. Angel sighed at the two of them. It had been a heartwarming moment only to be ruined by the twos awkwardness. "Well Bella and I have homework that were going to start. Then I'm probably going to head off to bed." Bella and Charlie both shot Angel matching looks of appreciation.

Bella and Angel stood from the table wishing Charlie a good night as they headed off to do their own things. The conversation with Charlie relaxing them both and making them think. That maybe being in Forks wasn't all that bad. Getting to know Charlie could actually be kinda fun.

The next day, Bella eyed Angel as he eyed her. "What are you wearing?" Bella made a face eyeing her brothers outfit. "I could ask you the same thing, but i keep my opinions to myself." Angel gave a very dry laugh, "Cowboy boots, red flannel, and skinny jeans. While this wouldn't look horrid the way you have it styled." Bella shrugged, "I didn't I threw it on."

"Why are you wearing red yet a blue headband? In what world does that make sense?" Bella hummed scratching her head sheepishly. "It was the closest headband to me?" Angels face morphed even more with horror. "At the very least if your going to wear that accessorize proper Bella."

Bella made a face but turned to her room nonetheless. "I'll change my headband. Nothing else." angel sighed in aspiration. "You could at least put a tabletop under you shirt. I mean who just buttons up a flannel shirt and calls it a day?" Bella released a groan. Grumbling to herself as she walked to her room. Closing her door harder than she usually would. Angel gave a satisfied smile.

"Well my job here's done." than Bella walked out once again. Angel groaned placing his hand over his face. "Ok, seriously that's not even the right shade of red." Bella threw her hands in the air. "We need to head to school." Angel by passed her into bella's room.

"Your boots and pants are fine. Everything else needs to go." Bella crossed her arms over her chest. Watching as Angel mumbled to himself pulling out cloths. "Here put these on." Bella rolled her eyes but pulled off her flannel and threw it at him. Angels hand shot out grabbing the shirt before it should hit him.

Bella pulled on the black led zeppelin shirt, Angel than threw her flannel back at her. Something she pulled on but didn't even attempt to button. Angel let a grin come over his face as he chunked Bella a simple necklace with a black cord and charm. She caught the necklace and the bracelet with the crosses on it, Angel had also thrown.

"See sister paired with this brown jacket more for warmth, it's a nice outfit while still being your style." Bella sighed, glancing from her dresser than Angel a few times. Angel walked over to said dresser. Pulling a matching red headband from it. He handed it to Bella who sighed in relief. Handing him the one currently in her hair and putting the new one in.

"Ok, I actually like this outfit so i'll wear it. But don't expect to dress me everyday." Angel rolled his eyes at her. "Only on days when you don't seem to care about what you look like. As I have always done sister dearest." Bella nodded looking her own brothers sense of style over.

He had gone simpler today than he normally did. With a black sleeveless top, black ripped up jeans, and boots. His necklace wasn't so different from her own, and his jacket that was spiked, one sleeve being red and the other being black. It was actually the only thing that stood out in his outfit.

Angel shrugged off Bella's stare. "Come sister we don't wish to be late now do we?" Bella grabbed her backpack pulling it over her shoulder. "We are late." she grumbled only for Angel to beam. "Fashionably so." they weren't truly late however. Both Angel and Bella believe firmly if you weren't five minutes early you were late.

When they had pulled up to school, they found that all eyes had moved to them. That could be because Angel pulled in directly behind Bella. Bella got out of her truck slamming her door. She walked over to her brothers truck. Standing by the drivers side door as he got out. "So what.." Bella was abruptly cut off by Alice who had made her way over to them. Jasper by her side.

"Your truck is fabulous." Angel snapped his eyes to Alice. A small smile making its way across his lips as they began conversing on how he had found his truck. Bella shifted when both of their attention snapped to her. "Your outfit is so you." Alice cooed her hand on her cheek as she eyed Bellas clothing in appreciation. Angel sighed also eyeing his sister.

"It is isn't it?" him and Alice mumbled back and forth as they eyed her. Bella's eyes snapped to Jasper who smiled at her when he noticed her staring at him. Bella shifted uncomfortably. While she was comfortable with her brother and mother. She got a bit antsy when large groups of people started to form around her.

"I'm walking Angel to class Jazzy, he's in the same building as me." Alice locked arms with Angel who stiffened at first but relaxed seconds later. He eyed Bella who stiffened at Alice's words. "Ill catch up to you later ok sis?" Angel asked cautiously eyeing Jasper with narrowed eyes. Bella didn't get a chance to respond. Alice had already swept her brother away.

"What building is your first class?" Bella stiffly turned to Jasper. Who was staring at her intently. "Building four." she mumbled lowly her hand tightening on her backpack strap. Jasper sighed, "I ain't planning on hurting you or anything. My sister just stole your brother I figured the least I could do was walk ya to class." he ran a hand through his hair almost roughly. Bella watched him and his actions silently for several moments before she finally just sighed.

"Alright." Jasper snapped his head down to her. "Alright?" Bella nodded as she turned on her heels heading towards her class. "You can walk in the same direction with me. We may even talk as we walk who knows?" Jasper chuckled under his breath hurrying after her.

Rosalie who had been watching the exchange silently with Emmet finally spoke. "She's got some fire to her, I like that." Emmett whistled lowly. "Don't let anyone know babe wouldn't want anyone thinking you actually have a heart." Emmet gave her a cheeky grin when she shoved him playfully. "Shut up, come on let's not be late again." Emmett wiggled his eyebrows at her and Rosalie rolled her eyes. A small smile on her face as she and Emmett left for class.

At lunch Angel sat down at the table with his sister sighing "Alice is annoying." He said under his breath to his sister before the vamps got there he had packed his own lunch this time basically only fruit. So he was nibbling on that. ""Don't get me wrong her fashion sense is really good but her personality is just annoying" he continued, trying to get his point across to his twin.

Bella nodded to her brother looking around for them. Her brother shook his head at her. "don't bother they went home biology is doing blood today. They can't donate blood you should skip because you can't handle blood either" He sighed softly "We need to talk to the witches one is in our school so let's talk to her about setting up a meeting" They both got up Bella watching as Angel walked over to Angela "hello are you Angela?" Angel asked.

The glasses wearing girl nodded "can we talk in private over there my sister and me have something we want to ask you" he asked hands folded behind his back. She nodded getting up to follow him. The other looked but didn't say anything he lead her over to his sister. He made sure no one was listening then spoke once he got there "your a witch right? We are too and we want to set up a meeting with you family to set boundaries" he stated going into diplomatic mode. Angela froze seeming to think hard about what he had said then she nodded "meet me after school and we can meet at my house my mom should be home then"

After that Angela walked away from them. Angel turning to his sister, "That went well, meetings set so that's one thing we don't have to worry about anymore." Bella released a sigh of relief at her brothers words. "I probably am going to get an excuse from the nurse to go home. Or maybe just sit in her office until after Bio." Angel nodded at his sister. He was happy she was going to put her health above going to class. Something Bella would rarely do.

"Alright sister i'll see you after school." Angel let her know as the bell rang for them to head to class. The rest of the day going fairly noring for the twins. Bella had managed to get out of Bio class for the day. Also really anything that had to do with blood in the future. Something Bella was overjoyed about. Angels day being uneventful after lunch as well. They both met up by their trucks. The school parking lot overflowing with teenagers.

"Did you get Angelas address?" Angel asked Bella who nodded handing her brother the sheet of paper with the directions on it. "Alright, you follow me don't need you getting lost." Bella made a face. They had received word from Angela during the school day that she had to head home early today. So Bella had gotten the directions from the girl. They had been told they could still stop by for the meeting. If anything it helped the Weber's better prepare for them. Angel got in his truck, Bella getting in her own and following her brother very quickly.

They arrived at the Weber residence a few minutes later. Angel getting out his truck first followed by Bella getting out of her own. They walked up to the door of the home and knocked. They stood there for several moments when finally a tall Brunette opened the door. She was obviously Angela's mother. Something the twins noted immediately. "You're renee's kids i haven't seen you two since your dipor days."

The woman crossed her arms over her chest. Eyeing them both thoughtfully for several minutes. "Alright come on in. I'm Lilith Weber."The twins walked into the house and into a dining room. Angela and two little boys already at the table waiting for them. Lilith took her seat beside her family. Angel and bella also sitting on the other side of the table. "These are my children, Angela, Joshua, und Isaac Weber." Mrs. Weber placed her hands in her lap in front of her. Leaning back in her chair. She watched as Angel took the lead to the introductions. "I am Angel, This is my twin Bella. We are both Swans."

"What was your reason for calling this meeting." Angel sat up straighter in his seat. Face becoming blank as he spoke. "To let you know we are here. To let you know that we will defend ourselves against other supernaturals. However we also didn't want to come in to another witches backyard so to speak without properly introducing ourselves." Bella spoke to continue what he had said. "We are very peaceful we won't mess with anyone or anything unless they mess with us first. So to say the least we come in peace. More or less as a meet and greet."

Lilith nodded in understanding. "Thank you for taking into consideration that this is our territory. I more than understand you defending yourselves. Our families have been friends for generation. I hope this tradition will carry on for generations to come." She glanced at her own daughter who nodded. "Angela will escort the two of you out. Please don't be strangers." Bella smile at her standing along with Angel. "We won't be, Thank you."

They both followed Angela out who smiled at them. "I'll see you two at school tomorrow." Bella and Angel waved goodbye as they got into they're trucks and left. When they got home. Both sitting at the counter Angel finally broke the silence that had formed between them. "That went better than i thought it would."

"It did." Angel placed his elbow on the counter and his head in his hand. "What to do know?" Bella shrugged. "Well i'm going to my room to do homework. Care to a company me brother dearest." Angel gave Bella a sweeping bow. "Now sister dear i thought you would never offer such a thing."
