A low snarl emanates from directly beside the bed and I break my horrified gaze to look at my saviour.


Chapter 10 - Seriously?


An even louder roar escapes from Kurt's new form as his body lunges forward to attack but he quickly pulls back as the tall blond in front of me swipes forward to knock his snout away.

"Rosalie!" I can't believe it. I thought she hated me, like total despise want me dead kind of hate. Guess I was wrong.

"I'll distract him, you run out the door and down to the main floor. Edwards down there." she says it all so fast I almost don't catch any of it.

"Bella!" she growls as she dodges another swipe from the massive creature, Kurt roars once more most likely in frustration as to why he can't attack what he thinks is a human.

"Alright" I sound brave. So not how I feel at this exact moment. With a deep shaky breath I brace myself to bolt for the slim opening behind the massive creature. Something changes though. Kurt swiftly lunges towards Rosalie then changes directions to charge at my shaking form on the bed.

"Oh God" is all I can choke out. "Kurt no!!" I scream as my eyes shut and I re-brace myself, this time for the inevitable contact of his massive snarling form onto my weak and none supernatural body. A spray of drool and hot rancid breath splays across my face but seems to come no closer. It takes everything I have to open one eye and check to see if I'm still alive, what I see there is really not what I expect. I slowly open both my eyes to stare into the deep black eyes of the massive creature, it seems that somehow my calling his name broke through whatever barrier he had up moments ago.

"Kurt?" I whisper. A low whimper sounds from his massive jaws and he quickly pulls back to cower by the door. Its an odd site. This large beast cowering from two small women. Well one just happens to be a vampire, but that's not the point. I hadn't notice up till now that I had been crying. Oh who the hell cares. I simply allow the tears to streak down my cheeks as I slowly push myself up and off the bed. With slow deliberate steps I walk towards the massive beast, even slower I place my hand out as if to touch him and stop only when he pulls back from me. Another whimper escapes from him and I place my hand gently on the side of his face.

"Kurt." I sob and drop to the floor, my eyes never stray from his for fear that whatever barrier I've broken will place itself back up.

"Be careful Bella." Rosalie growls from my side. I hadn't even noticed she was that close. Seems Kurt didn't either and he cowers back, his hole body putting a little to much pressure on the door frame.

I merely nod as I stroke the face of my best friend, and I thought I had normal friends in Calgary. Who knew.

"Bella?!" Edwards voice resonates from the top of the stairs, it sounds like he's out of breath.

Kurts gaze lands on Edward and a low snarl escapes as his entire body tightens in defence.

"Kurt no." It comes out as a command, sort of how I would speak to Izzy had she been growling at a friend.

All eyes turn to me and I simply shake my head till Kurt understands. A small whimper escapes once more and suddenly he lifts his head to howl as loud as he possibly can. Its such a sound. One that I will most likely never forget till the day I die. Even then its a sound that I will carry with me through my next life. I quickly drop my hand as his body tightens and within seconds a loud crash is heard as he breaks through my bedroom window. Charlie will not be pleased. I can't take my eyes off the broken shards of glass and pieces of wall that fall to the floor.

"Are you okay?" his soft velvet like voice breaks my trance and I simply laugh, its a hysterical sound.

"How am I supposed to convince Charlie about this one?"

"Bella?" Edwards tone is full of worry and I break my gaze from the broken wall to look him in the eyes.

"Why can't I just have normal friends?" I mean it as a joke but it comes out a little darker than I meant, the pain on Edwards features breaks my heart as his eyes drop and he takes a deep breath.

"You have to be the only person I know of to attract so many freaks." Rosalie's tone is pretty light despite the situation. I glance over to her and am rather surprised that she's smiling. Its kind of a chilling site, almost how a killer may smile as it finally finds its next victim.

"Kurt's not a freak. Neither are you guys." I sigh. How am I going to face Kurt on Monday? Is he even going to be there? Oh this is just not cool. Then it hits me.

"Jacob." I mumble. My eyes drop to my lap and I take a deep shaky breath.

"What?" both Rosalie and Edward question my sudden name dropping.

"Jacobs coming to Calgary soon. Honestly!" My voice cracks as fresh tears spill down my cheeks. Edward quickly pulls me into his body and begins to rock us back and forth. With one arm around me and the other one stroking my hair he sighs and places a small kiss on my forehead.

"That mutt is coming here? What for?" Rosalie's joking demeanor is gone and her voice is full of distaste.

"He said something about Seth, and how the three of them had to leave the pack because of Sam Uley."

"I knew it! Look what you've done Edward! This is ridiculous, all over some measly human." her words hurt more than I'd normally allow but before I can say anything Edward begins to speak for the both of us.

"Rosalie. I'm sorry. But Bella is not just some measly human as you so kindly put it. You would have done the same thing for Emmett had he been human. So please..." I can't help it.

"Shut up" we say in unison and it causes all of us to laugh, except Rosalie that is.

"Is that the thanks I get for saving her life?" Her tone is cold, alot like her personality. I glance up at her and smile "Thank you Rosalie. I really mean it." This seems to take her by surprise and she merely nods her head before turning towards the window.

"I'll have Emmett and Jasper replace it, Charlie won't even know what happened." with that she merely jumps out the same way Kurt had moments before.

"Edward! Lets go!" her voice floats up from the backyard and Edward quickly pulls us both up to stand.

His eyes look out the window and then he brings his gaze back to me.

"I'll be fine. I'll just sleep in the basement..." I lean up and place a quick kiss on his cheek. Baby steps, I have to keep telling myself that otherwise I may just jump him. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying its a bad thing but so many questions keep me from doing this.

What if he up and leaves again? What if when he changes back he can't be around me? What if? What if? What if. All these what ifs and no answers.

"Okay. Emmett and Rosalie will be nearby, they bought a little apartment over by Sobeys just to keep an eye on you." I some how doubt this of Rosalie.

"Bella, I love you." he quickly kisses my forehead once more and breaks our hold.

"I love you too Edward." so much for baby steps. I sigh and walk down to the main floor with him.

"I'll come over tomorrow." he smiles, its not his usual happy crooked smile, no this one doesn't even reach his eyes.

"How about, I come over there tomorrow? I'll need to get out of the house." he merely nods his head and pushes the screen door open.

"Be careful" I call out after him and he waves over his shoulder, his eyes peer out into the lamp lit streets as he makes his way over to Rosalies red convertible.

This is going to be another long night. I place my head against the door as I shut and lock it.

Great.

I have a werewolf-thing best friend, a clan of vampires who treat me as one of their family, and another shape shifter wolf as another best friend.

Anyone want to trade lives with me?
