Twilight through Alice's Eyes Chapter 17
A/N: Sorry for the delay in chapters but I've been sick, I've had school stuff to do, and there was a family emergency that came up. I'm back now. Here's a new chapter to make up for the delay. At the ending authors note (If I don't forget) I'm going to put in what my mistake was. No one guessed it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. If I did then I would live in a bigger house and be able to pay for school.
Chapter 17
The next day at school I over heard Bella's friends being nosy-especially Jessica. Emmett and Edward were hunting so it was just three of us for lunch. There was one flaw in having both Edward and Emmett away at the same time: it was up to just Rosalie and me if Jasper lost control and it was a Friday, Jasper's worst day of the week. So far he survived the day and I didn't have any visions of impending doom for anyone.
Rosalie and I usually go shopping every other Friday so and it was the other Friday so I decided we should plan where to go.
"So, Rosalie, what all do we want to shop for today? I think I'm going to look at some clothing. I don't know how much I'll buy, but we have Jasper as our personal slave so we get to have him carry all of our bags around the mall."
"I could go for some new clothing, too. Maybe some new lipstick, too. Something that would make me look less pale."
"No need to point out the obvious, but, you're a vampire. You're supposed to be pale."
"No duh, Alice. I know that. I just want to look a little more human than I am now." Poor Rosalie. I know she wants to be human but sometimes I wonder if she would have really enjoyed her life back then more than her existence now.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get you upset. I meant it as a joke."
"A really bad joke at that." I knew she forgave me if she was at least talking back to what I said. From time to time I could tell that Bella was looking over at us. I didn't really mind. She had a right to be curious; everyone has a right to be curious. I think she was hoping that Edward would somehow magically come back.
Lunch ended, too soon if you ask me. We slowly drifted of to our other classes. I sat in Trig and decided to look for something fun in the future to pass the time with. What I found was a little overwhelming and I didn't honestly know what to think at first.
"Werewolves have enemies?" Bella asked, prying for more information that the boy was giving her.
"Only one. So you see, the cold ones are traditionally our enemies. But this pack that came to our territory during my great-grandfather's time was different. They didn't hunt the way others of their kind did-they weren't supposed to be dangerous to our tribe. So my great-grandfather made a truce with them. If they would promise to stay off our lands, we wouldn't expose them to the pale-faces."
"If they weren't dangerous, then why. . .?" Bella sat there trying to comprehend what exactly this boy was saying.
"There's always a risk for humans to be around the cold ones, even if they're civilized like this clan was. You never know when they might get too hungry to resist." The boy was trying to make the story as scary as possible for Bella. It just seemed to make Bella more curious.
"What do you mean 'civilized'?"
"They clamed that they didn't hunt humans. They supposedly were somehow able to prey on animals instead."
"So how does it fit in with the Cullens? Are they like the cold ones you great-grandfather met?"
"No. They are the same ones."
If Bella really would believe this boy, we were in a little but of trouble. This boy was a part of the Quileute tribe. He knew the truth about us and he told it to Bella as a scary story.
If Bella really does believe him, our secret is out and all because some Indian boy couldn't keep his mouth shut. We could be exposed for what we really are.
A/N: Ok. That was the end of this chapter. Sorry it's short but I have a report to write for English. Here is the part that I messed up on: In my story, Edward went home before he left to go back to Alaska. In Twilight, he didn't go home; he went to the hospital and traded cars with Carlisle. I completely forgot about that part until I reread it recently. I don't think it really makes up that big of a difference. Anyway, this may be the last update for a little while. Depends on how fast I can write my English paper, do my History project on the Mars Pathfinder mission, and how many more things are going to come up and delay me from writing. See you guys later.
