Things Will Happen, Chapter 3.
Welp I'm back⦠Surprised?
Join my discord :D We have a bunch of authors in it. F3g8qTx
The last time I felt this way was walking into the Mansion of Night. Every hair on the back of my neck stood up and my body screamed at me to not enter the house. While Alice, Bella and Edward seemed like alright people to me, there was another part of them that just screamed monster.
It was ridiculous, I had dealt with monsters plenty of times before. Some were weak, nothing more than plebeians at the bottom of the food chain. Other's were on a scale that could cause worldwide catastrophes and potentially end all life as we knew it.
There was no sort of dominating allure that I felt off of the three next to me as we walked to the house. Alice ushering me forward with every step, as if anticipating what my reaction to the house would be. Bella and Edward silently following in tow.
"What do you think so far?" Alice asked, practically dragging me through the door.
The house was beautiful. It was open and wide, much nicer than anything I had ever seen. There was a certain air of brightness that when the sunlight came into the room it made the house feel alive and welcoming. "It's beautiful." I murmured, my eyes wandering the house. "It's amazing." I added moments later, unable to help myself.
If possible, the radiating smile that Alice had was glowing and I couldn't help but advert my eyes. How was that even possible for a smile to be so bright. "Good." She nodded her head. "I can't wait to show you to Rosalie."
"Rosalie? Who's That?" I rose an eyebrow at Alice. This wasn't going to be one of those hook up things, right? Like pairing with the ugly sister that you saw in the movies that could never get laid.
Behind me, I swore I heard a snicker and as I turned back both Edward and Bella were quietly talking to one another. Trapped in their own world of love.
Alice saw this and jabbed me in the side. "Don't mind them. They always get like this and once they start they never stop." Turning around, Alice gave them a motherly look. "Alright you two go on upstairs. Honestly I thought you knew better then to do that at the doorway."
There was a light blush that appeared on Bella's cheeks while Edward let out a laugh. "Yes mother." Edward playfully mocked as he grabbed Bella's hand and headed up the stairs.
Alice watched them with an amused expression until they disappeared behind the upstairs wall. "Come on, you need to meet Esme. She will love you!"
"Esme?" My earlier question was repeated with just another name. Once again it was ignored as we headed to the back door where someone was quietly waiting in the kitchen, reading a cookbook as she made some food.
Once again, I felt immensely out of place compared to everyone in the household. Who I assumed to be there mother as well was beautiful as well in a motherly way. She strangely reminded me of Hestia with her warm features that invited you in, asking how your day was.
"Is that your mother?" I pondered out loud. My ADHD once more kicking in and not allowing me to hold it in my stupid head.
The woman named Esme looked up and shot a warm welcoming smile towards both Alice and I. "You must be Percy? I've heard quite a bit about you. Welcome to our home." She smiled gently at me.
"Heard about me?" I blinked in surprise. I had just moved here and I had also just met the Cullen family. How did she hear about me already?
As if reading his mind, Alice perked up. "I texted her while we were on our way here. We told her that you were new to town and wanted to give you a welcome feast!' She announced as she walked over to Esme and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks Mom!"
Esme smiled at her daughter. "Rosalie is upstairs, I'm sure she would be happy to meet Percy. Why don't you go introduce her?" Esme gestured Alice forward and shot me a gesturing look. Quietly I followed Alice up the stairs. Her endless ratteling was amusing, it had been ages since I talked to someone else my age.
Going down the hallway, Alice pointed at the various rooms. "That right there is Edward's room, no doubt him and Bella are in there at the moment. Next is mine and Jasper's room- My boyfriend. Down at the end of the hall is Esme and Carlisle's room. And here is Rosalie's room." Alice walked next to the closed door and knocked quietly, "Rosalie? Do you want to meet Percy? He's new to the neighborhood."
I waited on the opposite side of the door from Rosalie for just a moment and found myself shifting noticeably. It was as if my entire life was going to end up changing from this one encounter and this one encounter alone. It was as if I was waiting for an impending doom to happen slowly as the familiar click of the door opened.
My breath hitched as I saw the door open. She was drop dead gorgeous- No. There weren't words to describe her beauty. For a moment I thought I saw Aphrodite herself once more, the only person that had made me breathless from looks alone. She had an elegant sort of air about her, that she knew she was better looking than you but didn't try to flaunt it. With her Hollywood actress blonde hair to her sparkling golden eyes, all of it just screamed attractive.
And on top of that? She looked nervous for a moment which surprised me. After having the door only opened partly for a moment she then opened the door fully to her room. "Hey Alice." She nodded to her sister. Her voice was silky smooth and yet there was an edge to it. She was worried about something but what?
Alice smiled brightly at her sister, "Rosalie. I would like you to meet Percy, Percy this here is our sister Rosalie and is a Junior just like you!
Rosalie nodded at her sister and stuck out her hand to me in a blink of an eye."My name is Rosalie."
I almost hadn't caught how fast she did and it was only due to my demigod reflexes that I saw it. Hesitantly, I grabbed her hand. "My name's Percy, it's a pleasure to meet you."
As my hand touched hers, a brief shock of electricity ran through it and I instinctively pulled back, her following suit. "Sorry 'bout that."
She shook her head, "Do not worry about it, it's not your fault."
Alice butted in at at this moment, "Well Jasper is in his room right now and I'm going to go see how he's doing. Take care you two!" With that she hopped down the hall and entered her room, not before shooting a wink at us.
I blinked in surprise, well that was interesting. Is that how they did things up here? Show someone from one to the next and then quickly fled. "Um, sorry about that. I don't really know how this happened."
Her lips twitched up just a little bit, just leaving the barest hint of a smile. "That's Alice for you."
I nodded, for the few moments that I had known Alice she seemed to have a rather quirky personality, one that was still loveable. "So um?" I said, not really knowing what I was supposed to do. To be honest my head was a breeze, everything that had happened today from meeting Alice, Bella and Edward to coming to there house and then meeting Rosalie seemed so sudden.
"Would you like to come in?" She ended up gesturing inside her door, inviting me in.
I stared at her eyes for a moment and watched the hesitance in her eyes for a moment, she was scared about what I was going to say, but why? "Sure. If that's alright with you." I asked just making sure.
She nodded, giving me a soft smile and took a step back. Her room was just like the rest of the house, open and inviting to all. She had her bed that was shoved against the wall with a small computer set up on the desk inside. Other then that the room was quiet and a little dull. Can't really talk with how much stuff is in my house.I mentally added to myself.
I awkwardly stood in the corner as she went back to her desk and sat down by her computer. As she sat down she gestured to the edge of her bed, "I'm sorry I don't have many other things in here. I don't have visitors too often." She admitted to me.
I put my hand through my hair, a sign that showed I was nervous. It wasn't too often that I was stuck with an astonishingly beautiful girl within her room and while I knew nothing would be happen. I could say I had no idea how to talk to her. Every movement was one of hesitance and reluctance, as if she was afraid that she was going to say the wrong thing.
After awhile I knew it was me who was going to have to make the first move, "So Rosalie, how are you liking school so far?" Great Percy. Wonderful. Cause every high schooler just absolutely loved to talk about school.
She surprised me though as she responded in turn, with neither frown or smile. "Everyone at the school is really nice and helpful. Anytime I need help everyone is quick to respond. Even the teachers are nice." She told me.
"How are you liking Forks so far?" She responded in turn.
I glanced at the outside for a moment, "It's very green."
Her lips once more twitched up, a greater reaction this time. "That is Forks for you. Green everywhere you turn."
"Do you like it here?"
She paused for a moment. "Yes, I love it here. Forks is very freeing."
I didn't know exactly what she meant by that but at the mention of living her I could see an actual smile. I doubt she noticed it but it was clear that she loved her home and wouldn't do anything without it. "Well that's good."
I mentally cursed myself for ending the conversation but she ended up picking up my slack, "Have you figured out your classes yet?"
I let out a small laugh, now that was something I wasn't looking forward too. "No, I'm supposed to go in to school early tomorrow and grab them. What are your hobbies?" I asked, continuing the twenty questions game.
She hesitated for a moment and I was wondering if she was afraid I was going to make fun of her. "I like to work on cars."
I blinked in surprise for a moment. "That's actually really cool, would you be able to teach me some time?"
"That sounds good Percy." She smiled faintly that reminded me of a smile more so of relief than anything else. "Do you have a phone at all?"
I blinked in surprise, I hadn't really used my phone at all since I got it only a few weeks before. I had not known how to use it and it wasn't until my mom taught me how that I begun to use it, only to contact her. "Um sure." I said, taking my phone out and handing it to her.
She let out a tight smile as she put her information in the phone. "Thank you." It was a small and tight voice that I barely picked up as she handed the phone back to me.
"Um. Yeah no worries." My eyes flickered back outside once more. It wasn't even noon yet, really early in the day and I was in a room being as awkward as possible, great.
"So what do you like to do?"
Her question took me off guard, what did I like to do? I hadn't really thought to much on it. I never really had time to myself in the past couple years due to demigod shenanigans. I shrugged, "I don't really know. Playing with my dog I suppose."
Her nose twitched slightly and her lips bent down slightly. "A dog?"
I couldn't contain my grin. "Trust me, she's a really loving dog and all she wants is for people to pet her. If you want sometime you can come over and meet her." I offered.
Her eyes sparkled with amusement and once more her lips twitched up. "I think I would like that. Perhaps later then?"
I couldn't contain my short laugh, thinking back to Mrs. O'Leary and the fact she's made friends with everyone that has met her so far. "Trust me, you'll like her."
"I'll hold you to it then."
"So what do you like to do?" I asked her in return as I sat on the corner of her bed so I could talk to her. The bed was comfy, perhaps more comfy than my new one was. The question might have been the same but her response had been limited and I worded it differently to get a different response out of her.
It worked like a charm as she gestured to her computer. "I like to do research or work on my BMW. It honestly depends on the day. When it's sunny out my family and I always goes on hikes so I suppose there's that as well."
It seemed to be much more exciting then my daily life, I was about to respond when a voice called through the house. "Kids! I'm going to the store quick. Bella, Percy? Is there anything you want?"
I blinked in surprise for a moment, why would she be asking me if I wanted anything? Looking up from Rosalie I heard her let out a soft giggle as she explained. "Whenever we want something we just get it ourselves. That's why she is asking you and Bella. She likes to pamper us."
I didn't know how to feel about them getting me anything. "Um, I'm good. I don't think I need anything that is?" I asked myself out loud. I already got all my school supplies.
"We still need to get you a chair silly!" A voice from the doorway jolted me from my spot as Alice and a blond haired man stood, looking over at us. The blond haired man had a strained smile on his face as he glanced over at Rosalie and I. "Percy I'd like for you to meet my boyfriend Jasper, Jasper this is Percy. I'm sure you'll become really good friends." Alice spoke in a matter of fact tone, as if she could see into the future and already tell.
From behind me I heard Rosalie give a soft giggle. Looking to Jasper I walked over and held out my hand. "Names Percy, thanks for allowing me to visit the house."
The man's face was staggered for just a moment with the strained smile but it disappeared as he took my hand. The strange ice cold hand connected with mine. "Jasper Hale, a pleasure you've come to Forks. I hope Alice wasn't too much for you?"
Before I could respond Alice gave him a light slap. "You know I'm not too hard on people."
He bowed his head with a joking smile. "Whatever you say milady."
"Alice was more than kind allowing me to your home. It's very beautiful. I feel like I've walked into a Crate & Barrel magazine." I admitted to him. My mind wondering to the magazine my mother had been looking at before she left.
"Is that so?" Jasper mused to himself for a moment then looked around Rosalie's room. "I suppose I can see that. Alice loves to decorate the house."
"Regardless!" Alice announced, changing the subject. "We were wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow after school."
"Um," I thought to myself. "I honestly don't know how much homework I'll have from school. If not much then I should be free. I would like to check on Mrs. O'Leary after school as well. I don't like being away from her for too long." I admitted to her.
"The reason we ask is because our father will be at work for the rest of the night and he would love to be here for the feast as well. We wanted to push it to tomorrow." Jasper explained to me.
I let out a slight laugh, why were so many people doing so many things for me? Was it rare for a new person to come into town. "Guys, you really don't have to do this. Honestly." I rubbed my hair back with my hand, feeling awkward by all the gifts that were being thrown on me. As kind as it was it felt to be a bit much.
Alice clapped her hands together with a smile and it was then I knew that I wasn't getting out of this. "Don't be silly! It's just a welcome to Forks kind of deal! Besides I am sure Rosalie would love for you to join us, isn't that right Rosalie!" Alice said, putting her sister on the spot.
All eyes turned right on Rosalie's who failed to meet mine or anyone else's eyes. "I think that's a great idea. It gives a chance to get familiar with us, right?"
"It's decided then! If Rosalie says so then we shall do it." Alice clapped her hands together and fled the room with Jasper in tow, stopping at the door for a quick moment. "Edward and Bella will be here for the next few hours. Rosalie why don't you take this time to take Percy home! Don't forget your stuff in the car Percy!" With that they both waved goodbye and disappeared behind the wall.
"Ah shit, knew I should have drove my car." I muttered. I hadn't planned on staying here long and I wanted to go check on Mrs. O'Leary, while I knew she would be alright it felt different being away from her for so long.
"I can take you home, no worries Percy." Standing up in an elegant fashion, she reached into her drawer and pulled out a lanyard with a key attached to it. She walked passed me in a hurried fashion and I couldn't help but frown, was it something I said?
Following her down the stairs I frowned as I saw my book supplies on the table. "How did it get there?" I questioned. I had left it in the Edward's car.
"No point dwelling on it. Though I believe my brother must have gotten it from the car." Rosalie told me as we entered into the car. Grabbing my items along the way.
Her car looked extremely close to mine. Unlike the BMW I had, hers happened to be a bright and shiny color. "Wow."
Her eyes perked up and she looked from her car to me, "Is something wrong Percy?"
I shook my head in response. "No, it's just that we have similar taste in cars. I don't know much about it but I have a blue BMW."
Her eyes lit up in excitement and happiness at the prospect of us liking the same car. It had been the most emotion that I had seen on her face all day and I couldn't help but smile in return. Her white teeth seemed to practically glow and they were as white as the gods and goddesses of Olympus, a pearly white shine. "Really?"
I let out a slight laugh. "Yeah. If you want you can drive it around some time. The car is brand new and I only have driven it once. I don't think I'm that good at driving though."
"I'll teach you then. It's a promise." All I could was smile and nod as we both hopped in the car.
Once we were in the car and the door was closed, she froze. After a few moments she stopped breathing all together and I waved my hand in front of her frantically. "Rosalie? Are you alright Rosalie?"
For a moment she didn't move at all until she snapped out of it and opened the door back up. "Rosalie are you alright?"
"Just...Just give me a moment Percy." She said as she covered her nose and stood up outside again.
Frowning, I turned my head down and smelt my shirt. "Do I smell that bad?" I whispered quietly. Why else would she be covering her nose.
Getting back into the car, Rosalie rolled down the windows. "You don't smell badly. Not at all Percy. Almost like the ocean." She told me, surprising myself that she heard me whisper it.
"You heard me?"
She tapped her ears as ears as she started the car with a strained smile. "Make sure to always eat your carrots Percy."
I blinked in surprise, so she had heard me. Or perhaps I really wasn't that quiet?
We drove the rest of the way to my house in silence which was a relatively short drive. Upon arrival I exited the car and asked, "Do you want to meet Mrs O'Leary?"
She gave me a thin smile, "Perhaps tomorrow. I'm not feeling so well."
"Oh." I said dumbly. "Well I hope to see you at school tomorrow." I gave her a farewell wave in which she returned. Flashing a smile she drove off.
I watched her go before a thought occurred in my mind. How had she known where I lived?
(But wait Lonixa! Rosalie is the year Above Edward, Alice and Jasper. I tell you this! Just deal with it.)
Hope you like the chapter! Remember to Review and yell at me any way you want :D
