I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight

Chapter 36


Just when she thought her mood couldn't get any worse.

Rosalie folded her arms as she glared at Edward, making her annoyance at his presence known.

Edward stared back impassively.

"What are you doing here?" she asked. The two of them stood in Carlisle's office, facing each other. Carlisle sat behind his desk, looking both deep in thought and exasperated.

Rosalie's eyes flitted from Carlisle to Edward and she gave an incredulous snort. "Did you come here to tell on me?"

He frowned but ultimately ignored her question.

"Real mature."

What was it that Harry had called him? A 'Prat'?

Realizing that her thoughts had wandered to the mechanic, Rosalie frowned.

"What did you do?"

Rosalie bristled upon feeling a familiar prodding within her skull. She hated it when he read her mind without her permission.

"What did I do? What did you do?" she snapped, baring her teeth. "And stay out of my mind."

Edward ignored her and Rosalie seethed even more.

"Were you really about to start a fight with the wolves?" he frowned, disapprovingly. "For a human?"

Out of the corner of her eye Rosalie saw Carlisle perk up at the admission. But that didn't stop her from answering Edward.

"Yes," she answered as she raised her head to stare challengingly at Edward. He scowled in response.

"I forgot that the mighty Edward forbade that anyone come in contact with the mechanic," she growled stepping even closer to him. He gave her an unimpressed look.

"I'm trying to keep us safe."

Rosalie snorted.

"Well you've done a crappy job so far."

She saw Edward's brow twitch slightly.

She smiled spitefully. "You've given yourself away after just one meeting."

"At least I'm not clutching at something that's long gone."

Rosalie growled wasting no time in pressing Edward against the nearest wall.

"What are you implying?"

Edward appeared unperturbed.

"You're still chasing after your humanity. We aren't humans and the less we associate with them the better."

Rosalie's hands trembled as she clutched at Edward's shoulders.

"Edward," spoke Carlisle in a warning tone.

"I've been thinking about it for a while now," Edward continued, "Why you're becoming so attached to a human. The mechanic isn't another Vera."

Rosalie saw red and the next thing she knew, Carlisle was standing between her and Edward, a firm hold on both of her hands.

Rosalie snarled at Edward over Carlisle's shoulder, but didn't resist Carlisle's grip.

Edward...had no right to speak of Vera. He had no right to go bringing up the past.

"That's enough. Both of you." Carlisle spoke firmly, a frown set on his face.

He looked over his shoulder to fix Edward with a solemn look. "Edward you know better."

He turned his gaze towards Rosalie, releasing her. "Calm down. We'll discuss this at length when we get home."

All they'd done thus far was talk. Nothing had come of it.

Rosalie scoffed as she turned sharply on her heels.

She needed to go for a long drive.

A/N: Angst all around. I've honestly been really interested in exploring the dynamics of the relationships that exist between the Cullens. Anyway, the siblings are having a bit of a spat. But like I said- Angst all around.

FYI: For anyone who doesn't know/isn't aware, Vera is not an OC. She was Rose's best friend when Rose was still alive. You can check out the Twilight wiki if you want.
