Okay so I was eager to begin this chapter and now I'm eager to share it with you. Sorry if I kept you waiting too long, but I'm working on another chapter with this one and it's difficult to finish both around the same time with my schedule.
In this chapter Nasia and Jacob have a little reunion, and then comes a little chat with Edward on Bella. The sisters will have a time before the chapter ends, how it all goes…well you'll just have to wait and see for yourself.
Written by myself and my sister author AnnaBoleyna1536, and we don't own Twilight.
Enjoy!
"Little J…been a long time since I heard that name." Jacob smirked a little. "So you're…a leech now."
"Not by choice." Nasia shrugged. "Mind if we talk?" Nasia turned back to Bella. "I'll be right back."
"Sure, don't go too far please?" Nasia hugged Belle quickly, but kept her restraint because as horrible as the thought was Belle's blood smelled delicious.
"I won't, Jacob is the river still a good spot?" they used to play there with Billy and Jacob's older sisters, even had picnics over there in the summer but that was years ago.
"Yeah, but we won't be alone."
"Afraid I'll pin you like before?" it was meant as a joke, but Nasia knew about the wolves. Carlisle told her about the treaty, and about how Jacob had feelings for Belle but Belle wanted Edward. Nasia ran with Jacob down to the river, and she saw two other large wolves across one black and one grey and white.
"It's alright guys." he said and the wolves growled but backed away enough.
"So you're a wolf, a shapeshifting wolf." Nasia sat down on a rock. "The stories were true, the legends, the tales…all of it."
"I'm surprised you remember all of that." Jacob tossed a rock into the river.
"At first I didn't, but when Carlisle told me the stories I began to remember. I never forgot you or Belle, I just wanted to get away and come home. You're still as cute as I remember."
"Not sure if I should be flattered or threatened." he turned to face her. "You're a leech, our natural enemy, even if we have a treaty with the Cullens you're technically not part of their group. So the others won't like me getting close or even talking to you."
"Keep your fur on J, I don't want to hurt you or your friends. I came back to see my sister and my dad, although it's not what I was hoping and not what I expected."
"What did you expect?" she shrugged.
"I don't know, I dreamed a lot of coming home and now that I'm here I don't know what to believe. Belle is in love with a vampire, who tore her heart out, who almost got her killed, and she has you pining for her but she doesn't want you to get hurt." a look in Jacob's eyes made Nasia rethink that.
"I love her."
"I know, I can tell."
"Can you? Let me guess you want her safe, well so do I." Nasia sighed.
"Look J, to be perfectly honest with you I don't like the idea of my Belle becoming a vampire nor do I like Edward Cullen because he hurt her once. I'm also pissed that she has a red-haired tramp out for vengeance and the Cullens haven't done much frankly because they can't due to risk of exposure. I've only been a vampire for a short time and even I know the troubles of keeping a low profile." she stood.
"You haven't changed much."
"I have, just enough to survive. I had to fight most of the time when I was away, I just got lucky when I was turned and escaped."
"Yeah about that…who turned you?" Nasia didn't want to tell Jacob everything, but she couldn't just tell Belle and let him find out later.
"I was in Italy…there's a coven there does that mean anything?" Jacob's eyes widened.
"Bella said that's where the vampires in charge live, where she and Edward went last year."
"It is, why they let me live I don't know but…they let me leave. I got away, I contacted Carlisle Cullen because he's friends with one of the leaders, and they helped me get here."
"Sounds too good to be true."
"I know, which is why I'm pretty sure they'll be coming after me. Carlisle doesn't understand it either, but he wants to help and I'm staying as long as I'm able."
"You mean you might have to leave." Nasia grunted, she knew it was a possibility the Volturi would come back for her but as long as Belle was vulnerable she would remain in Forks.
"Which is why you can't tell Belle anything I'm telling you, and I mean nothing. I want to tell her myself when the time comes and that might be today. My sister's life is on the line and I'm going to do everything I can to protect her just like you are."
"You know about the prowlers?" Nasia nodded.
"I'm pretty suspicious it's with the red-haired bitch, but according to Alice she can't see her. The killings in Seattle, I would say it's a lot."
"Seattle?" Jacob stared at her. "Those massive killings, it's vampires?"
"You didn't know, didn't you suspect?" Jacob had an angry look. "Okay clearly you didn't know, so I have something else to grill Edward on. Look J, I don't want us to be enemies I want us to be friends again even if I am a vampire now. You have a bad history with 'leeches' I get it, and I've been gone for over a decade but you and I have a common goal here. Can we work together with it?"
"As much as I would like to, the pack won't allow it unless it involves protecting Bella. Sam…" Jacob flinched. "He doesn't think we should talk anymore, and he's pissed the Cullens kept this info from us."
"I'm sure Carlisle will be glad to explain, after all I believe Belle invited you to the graduation party. Look go talk to your pack and tell your leader Sam that I'll cooperate as long as I can protect my sister. Deal?" she held out her hand, and Jacob was hesitant but he shook it. "Now I need to get back, I have a bone to pick with Edward."
"Give him hell if you can." Jacob smirked.
"Oh I will." she took off after Jacob jumped the river, but she didn't get far as she spotted Edward waiting for her in the woods. "You spend the majority of your time eavesdropping?" he had a questioning look on his face.
"You shouldn't have told him about Seattle."
"I assumed he had a right to know, and clearly he didn't know anything other than the prowlers around this area. I can see one reason why he doesn't like you, other than the vampire bit." she crossed her arms over her chest.
"It's for Bella's safety, and if you keep shooting your mouth off…"
"Really Cullen? You're gonna grill me on talking facts when you are keeping dirty secrets from my sister, your supposed mate? Plus getting her to Florida to see Renee when that bitch is out there and not telling her about it? Maybe you aren't right for Belle after all." Edward glared.
"I'm trying to protect her." he growled.
"By lying to her, last I recall relationships require equal treatment and yet it seems to me while Belle is truthful with you you're just full of stories. My sister is a special girl, and you need to quit treating her like a glass doll. Yeah she's mortal and vulnerable but that is where your group comes in, and now I'm here. Don't forget what happens when I get mad, if I could slam the Volturi guards away there's no question what I can do to you."
"Are you threatening me?" he got into her face and Nasia's eyes darkened in warning.
"No, I'm telling you to straighten up and stop hiding the facts. In my eyes that's a coward's way, maybe you are trying to protect Belle but keeping information, vital information, is not the way to do it. I can tell you care about Belle and I am not happy about it, but I can't tell her who to date or fall in love with."
"I can't read your mind, same as her."
"So you can't tell what I'm thinking, Aro couldn't either and Jane couldn't use her power on me. You already put my sister in danger twice, so if anything else happens to her I will personally fry your ass. In the meantime you'd better keep your childish attitude in check and start acting like a real man to my sister. Her life is on the line and I am going to protect her even if it kills me." with that said Nasia shoved Edward into a tree and ran back towards the Cullen house. Bella was outside talking to Alice when she made up the stairs.
"Hey, where's Edward?" Nasia looked at Alice, pretty sure she knew.
"We had a little disagreement, he's fine though. Jacob went back to the reserve, needed to chat with Sam about me being here. So are you going to stay the night here?"
"Well it is a weekend, and I've gotten multiple texts from everyone asking about you." Nasia laughed.
"We can tour the town tomorrow, right now I wanna talk with you. Alice…you know any good shops around here?" Alice smiled in glee.
"I do, but the best ones are in Port Angeles."
"Well maybe we can go up there another time but I would like to get better acquainted with Forks. Also Belle, have you told Renee yet?" Belle shook her head.
"Charlie wanted to tell her, and I'm sure when she knows she'll be on the next flight out here." Nasia had a twinge of doubt on that but said nothing.
"Yeah, listen can we talk privately?"
"Sure, but why don't we go into town? We can walk around a bit."
"Sounds good." Belle and Nasia got into Belle's truck, but Belle promised Alice they would be back before dark. Belle drove them to the small town, and parked near a store so they could walk. The town was almost exactly the same, though Charlie rarely took them out when they were little some shops Nasia recognized.
"So what did you and Jake talk about?"
"You, all that's happened so far with that Victoria tramp, and among other things I told him he was cute." Belle stared at her. "Hey he's got a great body."
"I'll admit he does, but I love Edward." Nasia gave a snort.
"Okay umm…tell me what you see in him." Bella stopped for a moment. "I've seen and talked to him, and honestly Belle I don't like him."
"I figured that, you were always looking out for me. Edward's good to me though, yes he's made mistakes and I'm still mad about some of them but I love him and he loves me."
"Loves you enough to leave you, and almost get you killed. Belle I can't tell you who to date, I just wish you had picked someone who wasn't so…flimsy."
"Edward's not flimsy, he's just cautious and old school."
"Nothing wrong with old-school but he's off for a vampire and that's saying something coming from me; look Belle I can tell you love the guy, and I'm willing to be civil with him but if you get hurt again he's done."
"Believe me Charlie said the same thing, especially after that stunt last year with the Volturi." they found an empty bench and sat down. "You said you ended up in Italy, who turned you?" Nasia sighed.
"It was one of the leaders, Caius." Belle's eyes widened and she leaned in.
"Caius?" her whisper was horrified. "He's the worst of them all."
"You're telling me, tried to claim me as his property. When he tried to touch me I somehow flung him against the wall without touching him or the guards around me. After that they locked me in a dungeon, couldn't break out. Sometime later the other leader…Marcus I think, let me out and gave me what I needed to leave."
"They let you go?"
"I don't know, but I doubt its forever. When they told me about you I wanted to get out, to find you and make sure you were alright. Aro mentioned the Cullens were going to turn you…and I can't stop it, because I don't want you to get hurt."
"Edward promised to turn me, granted he tried to put it off but the others minus Rosalie all agreed they want me to be in the family."
"Yeah what is that girl's problem?" Bella chuckled.
"I don't know, she's been cold to me ever since I started dating Edward. Won't say why, and she's against me becoming a vampire but I know she has a reason."
"She does, gave me the cold shoulder too. Oh I'd like to smack the cover girl off her face if I could." Nasia hit the air with her fist, and Bella just laughed.
"Don't hurt her, she's just like that and Emmett is like my big brother and he loves Rosalie to death so please try and bear with her."
"I'll try, for you." Nasia pulled Belle into a one-armed hug.
"Nasia, do you think the Volturi will come back to get you?"
"Maybe, but they can't because all I need to do is get angry and they can't touch me. You on the other hand, they can hurt you and if they do well…I can't guarantee that they'll live." Belle grabbed Nasia's hand.
"Sis you can't take on the whole Volturi, you don't know what they're capable of."
"I have an idea, which is why I'm staying as long as you need me."
"They'll come back for you, and I won't see you again." Nasia held Belle's hand.
"I'm not going to let that happen, I will find a way back. Chelsea can't control me, Jane can't hurt me, and Aro can't read me….they wouldn't be able to keep me there for long anyway. I am curious to why Caius wanted to keep me, but it doesn't matter now."
"I don't want you to leave again." Belle had tears forming in her eyes. "I can't lose you."
"You won't." the sisters hugged for a bit, but broke apart when a snotty voice was heard.
"Well isn't this just sweet?" both girls turned and a blonde girl with a short haircut and cold eyes was seen.
"Hello Lauren." Belle rolled her eyes.
"You know her?" Nasia stared the girl down.
"Yeah, Lauren Mallory we go to school together."
"And she clearly hates you." Lauren smirked.
"So you have a sister Bella, a twin. How come you never mentioned her?"
"Because I was missing, but let me ask you a quick question eh?" Nasia stood up. "Lovely hair, did you get it cut at a salon or a butcher shop?"
"Excuse me?" Lauren glared.
"It's just that, that's not a good look for you."
"She cut it, heard rumors about a model agency wanting to look at some photos with her hair like that but…" Belle put up her hands.
"They never called, so sad." Nasia made a mock pouty face. "Let me guess, most popular girl in school, meanest of the bunch, wannabe princess right?"
"You had better watch it around here…when you start school it won't be pleasant." Nasia was about to retort when someone else called out.
"Hey Bella!" some kids came over to them, and Nasia recognized them from the parking lot at the school. "So this is your sister, what's her name again?"
"Hey guys, this is my twin sister Anastasia, but she goes by Nasia. Nasia this is Eric, Mike, Angela, and Jessica."
"Hi everyone, tell me is this girl always a real bitch?" she pointed at Lauren and everyone laughed.
"Mostly." Angela answered her. "So you're back from where…?"
"New York, not a dream life and if you ask me questions about my kidnapping I won't answer them. I'm back now, and I'm glad my sister is doing well." they all seemed to understand.
"So are you going to start school here?" Nasia shook her head.
"I skipped a grade and graduated already, wasn't hard for me."
"No way, you probably just dropped out and ran back here." Lauren snarled. "You can't be that smart, you're not even that pretty."
"Certainly more pretty than you, everyone here is better looking than you." Lauren's face was red in anger. "You don't want to piss me off bitch, so walk away, and I might save you the trouble of a trip to the ER." Nasia was nose to nose with Lauren, and Lauren's eyes widened a bit. Lauren backed away, and left in a huff back to her car.
"Wow, I've never seen Lauren's face so red." Eric high-fived Belle and Nasia. "Hey uh, do you wanna grab a drink with us?" Nasia shrugged.
"No drink, but I'll come anyway." none of them smelled enough to make Nasia feed, but she would have to hunt later on.
The rest of the day went by fine, and Nasia knew it was only a matter of time before Victoria came into Forks again, she just hoped the Cullens and the wolves would be ready.
Hope you liked it, wrote the whole in one day as a treat. Did you like the situation between Edward and Nasia, a new talk between future in-laws?
Next chapter we get a little update on the Volturi, what's Caius been up to since his new ward disappeared? A little training session with Nasia, figuring out how her power is triggered and an update on the army on the way.
