You, Me, Him, Her... Us? What?
(A/N: Sorry it's so short)
(Chris's POV)
We walk to this little Italian place, ordering a thing of calamari for a starter, pasta for 'Rosalie' and some pizza for myself, "What did you want to talk about, Rosalie?"
"I wanted to apologize for, well, being a bitch, I-"
"Really, Rosalie, I get it," I say, "I don't blame you for acting the way you did and do. It's who you are. You don't have to apologize. Live and let live."
"How are you so accepting and, I don't know, it's weird."
"It's just who I am," I say.
We chit chat while waiting for and consuming 'our' dinner, laughing and joking about random things, then we get into the conversation of the Cullen Clan, "I'm wondering why you yelled at Alice."
"She just got under my skin, like REALLY under my skin. I don't think I've ever gotten that mad," I say, guilt filling me.
"It's just," she pauses, "I have never heard anyone talk to her that way."
"Oh, so I'm in some deep shit because she is idolized?"
"Basically," she says, "but I commend you for it."
"What?"
"She and Edward always get their way and nothing goes without their say so," she says.
"I'm not following," I admit.
She sighs, "We didn't move here until Alice said it would be okay. Edward can read minds and we can manipulate a person based on using their thoughts against them or for our benefit."
"Well, what about everyone else? I thought Carlisle and Esme were the leaders of your clan?"
She gives me THAT look (if you are unfamiliar with it I urge you to keep it that way, but you can see many different varieties. There is the 'Are You Fucking Stupid' look, the 'You're Cruisin for a Bruisin' look, the 'What Did You Just Say' look, the 'Just Wait Until Your Father Gets Home' look, the 'I'm The Parent and You're Going To Listen Or Else' look, or (my personal favorite) 'Why Did I Ever Agree To Date You, You're So Damn Weird/Stupid/Pain/etc, among others), "They are our parental figures, but Alice and Edward are their favorites, which, after awhile, they used to their advantage and now, unknowingly I'm guessing, they have passed the responsibility onto them."
"What do you mean by, their favorites?"
"Fifty years or so ago, Edward caused a bit of a problem," she says after a moment, "He wanted to date this human girl, her name was Donna, Donna Basham," she takes a deep breath, "They let him do it, he said it was a thrill," she pauses for a moment, "She found out and got scared. She tried to run, but he was too fast, he snapped her neck and we were required to help him dispose of the body. To this day they have yet to find her body."
"They let him? It was their fault though that the poor girl is dead," I just realized something and I feel so ashamed of myself, "So that's why you hate me so."
If she could blush, I'm sure she would have, "I may be a bitch, but you already knew, but yeah, I didn't want to ruin another young life."
"As much as I appreciate your attempt to keep me alive, I could die any moment of the day. I could die anywhere by any means, but thank you for trying to prevent another mishap."
"I just want my family safe, but recently, things have started to spiral out of control."
"How so?"
"Alice saw something, you coming here and a lot of things happening because of you coming."
"And?"
"Alice is a very vindictive person when things don't go her way."
"What has this got to do with me?"
"Because of you, her future changed, ALL of our futures changed, the only people who know what those changes are is her and Edward."
This was defiantly not the conversation I was expecting.
(Alice's POV)
That damned bitch. I wish Rose didn't take her, we could have gotten her out of the way, "Are you going to tell me how she is going to ruin our family now?"
I love how Esme is so incredibly desperate to have a family, that she would help me get rid of her. She doesn't even know the truth, "That human is going to take Jazz, Rose and Em with her, tearing the family apart," at least that part is somewhat true, "She will turn them into monsters, killing thousands, getting the Volturi involved, killing your kids, my siblings."
"But, she makes Jazz so happy," yeah, but I know I can persuade you to come to my side.
"She's a succubus, Esme, she doesn't care about Jasper, she just wants to use him!"
"But, what she earlier-"
"Was a lie!" she always consults me, Carlisle too, about things regarding people and decisions, "She is a little slut and needs to be disposed of before she ruins this family. She's going to be the end of the family, Jasper will regress, Rose and Em will leave and never come back, destroying what we hold dear. Please, Esme, listen to me, have I ever led our family down a road that I knew would hurt the family?"
"No," oh, if only you knew.
"Exactly!"
Now, I need to get Rose on my side. She's still upset about the last human who came into this family, I could use that. Getting her on my side will get Em on my side too, the stupid oaf. Jasper will come back to me and our futures will get back on track.
Goodbye you little cunt, I hope your affairs are in order.
(Peter's POV)
I have a pretty good feeling about Eleazar helping us, but I need to get to him. I'm on my way to the airport, alone. I told Char that she needed to stay here so that is she calls she wouldn't be suspicious, she wasn't too happy about the separation, but she agreed that I was right.
We own a private plane, that I have a license to operate and I'm hoping that this isn't for nothing.
My knower is sending me to Alaska, I could just call Jasper and get their number, but that would be a bad idea considering his 'family', "The things one does for family."
(Jasper's POV)
'I told you that the Seer was no good.'
'Alice was there for us when we needed her to be.'
'You idiot, she never thought she would have competition or us finding our destined mate.'
'She saved us.'
'She used you! Look at where we are! Look at who you've become! You were better off alone, with me, than with this family! She used you to get to them! And then they scold you like a small child when you attack your prey! Calling you weak!'
'They're trying to help us to not be a monster.'
'Believe what you want Jasper, but when Mate is changed and she realizes who we are, she has the choice to be a human drinker. Just remember that she was raised by our Captain and Lieutenant, who will she go with diet wise?'
He has a good point, no one in the family will accept a human drinker, she'll get told to conform or leave and she's very strong willed, she will leave, even if it kills her.
I don't want to go back to my house, Edward is probably trying to convince Carlisle to keep me away from her because I'm the weakest in the family, I sigh, "Mother fucker."
A knock is heard at the door, it's a vampire, but when the scent hits my nose I start to relax. Emmett.
I open the door to the one person that always has a lighthearted emotion on him. I think out of the family him and Rose are my two favorite, everyone else has a long story associated as to why I won't rate them as to who is my top to least favorite, "Hey Jazz!"
"What's up Em?" I ask, letting him in.
"I needed to get away from the other two, they were driving me nuts!" he is always so open with me, he's very funny when his emotions take control, "I brought my game system and a few games to play."
"Awesome, go set it up," I say with a smile, "Why did you need to get out?"
The hookup is done in a matter of seconds, but he stills for a few seconds, "They... Just said a few things I didn't agree with."
"Come on Em, I'm not Edward, thank god, I can't read your mind," that got a bit of a chuckle.
He hands me the controller once the game starts loading, sitting on the couch we get comfortable, "They were talking about you," I'm okay with that, "and Chris."
'What about Mate?'
"What about Chris?"
