chapter six. Werewolves
"Cassandra, do you like scary stories?" Bella asked me. i wonder if this has anything to do with the whole wolves thing.
"Yes. It does." Edward said. what does he mean?
"I read your thoughts. did you forget that i can do that?" Edward said. Ha ha i did forget.
"yes. i did. What does scary stories have to do with wolves Bella?" I asked.
"Edward, do you really think that she has to know this?" Emmett said. It seemed like that was the one thing he didn't want me to know. His hands seemed ready to cover my ears so i wouldn't be able to hear anything.
"i want to know though. but is it something that i have to know?" i asked.
"Here Cass. I hope you like them. This is the first time i actually cooked in the oven. I'm happy!" Rosalie said as she walked back in to the room and sat back down beside Alice. She looked like she wanted to know the story. Or maybe she wanted to see my reaction.
"thanks!" i said. I was hungrier then i thought i was.
"if your going to live with us i would say it is something you have to know. How is your food?" Esme said.
"oh ok. Its really good! Thanks Rosalie and Esme." i said.
"Your welcome. Continue Bella." Rosalie said. Esme just smiled at me.
"Do you know what vampire's enemies are Cassandra?" Bella asked. What is up with all these questions. i want to get to the point.
"Uhmm i think werewolves, or Buffy, but iam not sure." i said.
"you are right about the werewolves. Do you know anything about them?" Bella said.
"uhm... not that much. I saw in a movie that they only come out when its a full moon out. Uhm, they are big and strong, and that they dont like vampires." i said.
"not exactly. You are right about how they are big and strong." Bella said.
"lucky guess." i heard Edward say very quietly. Emmett elbowed him.
"Your also right about not liking vampires. Vampires and wolves cannot stand the smell of each other. they try to stay away from each other at all times." Bella said.
"how do you know all this Bella? are there werewolves here in Forks?" i asked. Werewolves were the only thing that really scared me. I was always afraid from some of the movies i have watched that they are real and would want to hurt me.
Edward looked up at me with worry in his eyes.
"Well, they are not here in Forks, but they are close enough. They are down in La Push." Bella said.
I gulped, very loudly. Then Edward pulled me off of Emmett's lap and pulled me onto his then wrapped his arms around me.
"Don't worry. i will never let them hurt you." He said. " That's one thing i can promise."
"Edward they wouldn't hurt her. Jacob is my best friend." Bella said. This all sort of scared me.
Edward tightened his arms around me.
"Don't worry." he said.
"your friends w-with were w-wolves?" i said, having trouble with talking about this.
"yes. i am. Jacob Black. Hes like family to me. My dad and his dad are best friends as well. Do you want to meet him one time? I'm going to visit
him tomorrow." Bella said. I felt Edward stiffen. Emmett did the same thing.
I looked around the room at the faces of my new family. I wanted to see their oppinion. First i looked at Esme. She nodded. Then Rosalie. She shook her head. So did Alice. Jasper looked at everyone then at me. He nodded.
Emmett's answer shocked me.
"Yeah, go ahead kiddo. If they do hurt you, then i would have a good reason to pick a fight with Paul. God i hate him! hes such a jerk!"
Once again, Edward stiffened under me.
"Bella, its 3:15. i think you should be getting home if you are going to make it home in time." Esme said.
"ok. So you think about that Cassandra. if you dont want to, thats ok." Bella said.
"Ok. Bye." i said.
Edward pulled my up with him when he got up, then he went over to grab Bella by the waist.
After everyone said bye we went back to sit on the couch.
"So, what do you think Cass. Do you want to meet some wolves?" Alice said.
"i dont know. Will i be safe Alice?" i asked.
"Well, i cannot see wolves. Their is something about them that i cannot see. But, like Bella said, they wouldnt hurt you."
"and if they do, i will go after them." Emmett said then laughed.
Rosalie gave him a look. The look she gave reminded me of Alex. This is the first time i have thought of them since the accedent.
"were do you want me to put my plate?" i asked.
"Here. i will take it. was it good dear?" Esme said.
"yes very good. Just like how my mom ust to make them." i said.
"I dont think you should go Cass. i dont want you getting hurt, even though Bella wont let that happen." Rosalie said.
"Rosalie, if i do decide to go, will you be mad at me?" i asked. All eyes went on her.
"of course not. its your choice. iam just stating my opinion." Rosalie said.
"how many are their?" i asked.
"8. Sam, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Jared, Paul, Seth and Leah." Jasper said. That was the first thing he said in a while. He was sitting between me and
Alice. He had his arm around Alice.
"Leah?" i asked. i thought were wolves were only boys.
"Yeah. You turn into a wolf from genetics. Seth and Leah are brother and sister. Their dad, Harry, died a couple of months ago." Alice said.
"oh. that sucks." i said. i know how they would of felt.
"well, what you can do is go for the drive with Edward and Bella to the border line were our territory ends and theirs begind, then you can decide when you are their. Bella is probably going to call the dog, i mean Jacob, and tell him that you might go." Emmett said.
"ok." i said.
after
we talked about that, Carlisle came home. He talked about the rest of
his day at work. Then he went up to his office.
When he went
upstairs Emmett and Jasper went outside. Esme finished washing my
plate then went upstairs to talk to Carlisle. It was just me Alice
and Rosalie in the living room.
"were did Emmett and Jasper go?" i asked. They left without saying a word.
"hunting. Remember how Carlisle explained that we drink animal blood? Well, thats what we call hunting." Rosalie said.
ew.
"Well, i guess if your maybe going with Bella to meet Jacob tomorrow, then maybe the three of us can go shopping now! then, when we get home, we can set up your room the way you like it." Alice said.
"ok! that sounds fun!" i said.
"ok. i really want a new top. i saw a really nice one in a flyer the other day." Rosalie said. I really like my new sisters.
"okay. iam going to go tell Esme and Carlisle. Be back in a minute!" Alice said.
"want to take my car? its a red convertible." Rosalie said.
"okay!" i said. Do you know were my bag is?"
"yup. here" Rosalie said then handed me my bag. I pulled out my pink Hollister sweater.
"thanks." i said
"no problem." She said.
"okay. they said we can go, but we cant be late." Alice said. then we left.
