Ch. 8: Unlikely Allies
BPOV:
I was sitting in a café across from Edward, a plate of untouched food in front of both of us.
For some reason my mind kept repeating his name. Edward. It's like my mind was trying to make up for the last 55 years.
"Isabella, could you meet me tomorrow? I've haven't felt so good in over 50 years," Edward asked in his silky voice.
Without thinking, I quickly replied. "Yes."
But after this stunt, and after the pack picked up Edward's scent all over me, I wouldn't be left alone for a single second.
Jake had the tendency to overreact, just like the other immortal being sitting in front of me.
Edward was apparently thinking the same thing.
"Are you sure you can sneak away from the dogs?" Edward asked, looking concerned.
I glared at him until he realized his mistake. "I mean, the pack, " Edward corrected quickly, looking down.
"Never mind. If you can't sneak out, I can come get you. A few wolves won't stop me, " Edward said confidently.
I snorted. "You would be killed before you took two steps. La Push has the biggest pack in the world. There are 16 of them."
Edward's mouth dropped opened.
Hah. If this were news, then this would shock him.
" That's not all. They have a council, sort of. Sam, Jacob, Quil, Embry, Jared, Seth, Paul and Leah are in it. That council controls almost all of the packs in America."
Edward's eyes bulged out of his sockets." Carlisle needs to know this, " Edward muttered, almost to himself.
"But don't worry. I can sneak out another way, " I reassured Edward. "Don't worry."
"I know you will. But I have to worry about you, " Edward said, giving me his amazing smile.
I blushed. "How did you find out?" I asked him. We both knew what I was talking about.
"Alice. She had a vision. I had been following you for a while, and found out you were moving to La Push. Then Alice had the vision. Knowing her, she's probably watching all of this right now, " Edward said, laughing.
"I haven't seen her in a long, long time, " I whispered. I remembered her. She had been my best friend.
"I'm sure that all will change soon, " Edward said, his beautiful eyes twinkling.
"Great, " I said laughing. "She'll want to take a extended shopping trip to make up for a 100 years instead of 50."
"Yeah, probably, " Edward admitted.
I glanced at the clock. 5: 00! "Oh, crap, Edward! It's 5:00! Jake's going to kill me, " I said, throwing my stuff into my bag.
I saw Edward's eyes go pitch black and low growl escaped his lips.
"Calm down, Edward! It's just an expression, " I told him, throwing my fluffy gray hair into a loose ponytail.
Edward followed me out of the door. "You promise, you'll come back, tomorrow, right?" Edward asked, gazing at me.
"Of course, " I told him. Wild horses couldn't keep me away.
"Thank you, " he said, all of a sudden.
"For what?" I asked, confused.
He leaned down to give me a kiss on my wrinkled cheek.
"For a second chance, " Edward whispered, right before he disappeared into the crowd behind him.
Alice's POV:
Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie were gathered around me, as I closed my eyes, giving every detail of my vision of Bella and Edward inside the café.
"She remembers me!" I shouted gleefully. "They were talking about me!" I smiled happily.
"She wants to see me again!" I said, still smiling. But then I frowned. "She doesn't want to go shopping, " I said sourly.
"Like that's ever stopped you before, " Emmett muttered. Ever since we had left Forks and Bella, Emmett and Jasper had been the source of my shopping sprees and makeovers.
"Aww, " I said, frowning again. "She just disappeared. She's going back to dogs."
"Yay! I'll get it, " I said a moment before the phone rang, jumping up to race Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper to the phone. They didn't need visions to know who it was going to be.
"Kids, " Esme warned, while Carlisle laughed quietly.
I got the phone first. "Edward!" I sang out. Before he even had a chance to speak, I yelled, "Jasper and Emmett are already packing!" I said happily, but gave the two boys pointed glances.
Groaning, they both trudged upstairs to dig our suitcases out of the attic.
"Hey, Alice. I wouldn't let Emmett near you're Porsche or clothes right now, " Edward said, his voice trailing off.
I quickly throw the phone to Rosalie, before running upstairs. "Emmett!" I shouted. I was going to kill him…
Rosalie's POV:
"Hey, Edward. Could you explain to the ones who don't have super powers what is going here?" I asked my brother while examining my beautiful reflection in the mirror above the phone.
I had gotten tired of having to go to the bathroom or my room so I could look at myself, so I had bought mirrors to stick in random places all over the house.
Edward groaned. "Please, Rosalie. Stop looking at yourself in the mirror for three seconds. And I think you and Emmett and Alice and Jasper are coming to Forks for a vist.
I could hear Emmett yelling upstairs, sounding faintly like, "Alice, please no, I didn't mean it Alice!"
I sighed. Emmett was such a idiot.
"Alice! Stay away from my husband!" I shouted.
"Edward, I have to go save my husband from Alice," I said, frowning.
"Rosalie, stop looking at yourself and go save Emmett unless you want a husband with Mohawk, " Edward said worriedly.
I quickly hung up the phone.
"Alice! Don't you dare give my husband a Mohawk! I'll give your husband PINK HAIR!" I shouted before running upstairs.
Esme sighed.
"What are we going to do with them, " Was the last thing I heard before opening Alice's door and saw a razor poised over Emmett's head.
BPOV:
I walked into Jacob's house, and was instantly attacked be Sam, Jacob, Quil, Embry, Seth, and Jared.
I could see Leah, Paul, and Danny on the couch, wrinkling their nose.
Jake walked towards me, grimacing in disgust.
"Gosh, Bella. You smell terrible, " Danny said at once.
The rest of the werewolves were better at hiding their disgust.
"Bella!" Jacob said, coming over to me. "You saw him. You know how dangerous bloodsuckers are, and you still talked to one!"
The rest of the pack quickly shook their heads in agreement.
All except three.
I was opening my mouth to say that Edward had said the same about Wolves when I was interrupted.
"Come on, Jake. Bella's a big girl. She can decide what she can do and can't do. You don't have any kind of control over her," Leah said.
My mouth dropped opened. Leah had always seemed to not like me.
"And werewolves are just as dangerous as vampires, just in different ways, " Danny throw in.
"I would never hurt her, " Jacob growled.
"The bloodsucker probably thinks the same thing. All of them probably do, " Paul said.
Jacob's arms were now quivering like arrows.
"It is not the same!" He insisted before turning and running out house. He knew they were completely right. He just didn't want to admit it.
"Bella, Jacob's just trying to keep you safe, "Sam said. "You should listen to him."
"It's not his job to keep her safe, " Leah muttered darkly.
All the heads in the room instantly went towards her, and she smiled sweetly.
"Hey, Leah, Danny, Paul. Could I talk to you guys, privately?" I asked, getting an idea.
"Oh great, the human wants to talk to us. I'm so scared," Leah said, snickering. But the three still followed me outside.
"I'm not going to yell at you, " I said smiling. "I need your help."
"And who ever said we would help you," Leah said, glaring at me.
"This is the kind of help you'll like, " I reassured them. "You like to totally piss off and disobey Jacob and Sam, right?"
Leah, Paul, and Danny looked at each other, nodding and smiling.
"I like where this is going," Danny commented.
"Me too, " Paul chimed in.
"And me three, " Leah put in.
" I won't be allowed to go anywhere without a pack member anymore, " I told them. "And I need to sneak out. How would you and your gang like to be my jail breakers?
"We like it, " Leah said, nodding her head. "We like it."
And with that, I had just gained the most unlikely ally ever.
"Tomorrow? 3:00? Deal. We'll be there." Leah gestured with her head towards the beach. "Come on, guys, " Leah said, and with that, Paul and Danny followed her. I watched them until the dark sky swallowed them whole, leaving no trace behind.
I had my way out.
