Chapter 3

"When you said we would run into each other in the future I wasn't aware you had meant it so seriously." Bella gritted out.

"Well I also said to pay attention more. It's a shame you haven't been taking my advice seriously. I had a lot of faith in you." He pouted.

"Put a sock in it Randall. I'm not in the mood." Bella said sitting up and tying her laces.

"A sock?"

"It's a human thing."

Randall just nodded and proceeded to help her pick up her school books.

"I had a feeling I would find you here. Is that boy at home?"

At first Bella thought he meant the wolf-boy but that was unlikely no one knew about him. She barely knew about him.

"Yes. Jacob is at home."

"Good. I'd like to visit with the lad."

"Don't play Randall. We all know you two don't like each other."

"Only because we don't know one another and because you hold some sort of grudge against me for changing you."

"I have every right to be upset."

"You do. You both do and I respect those rights. Always have always will. However if it wasn't for me you never would have met your previous Jacob and I wouldn't have anyone to ask what things like 'put a sock in it' means. So I still hold on to the hope that you are at least a little bit thankful."

Bella decided to change the subject.

"How is Mary?"

"I wouldn't know. Haven't spoken with her much in the last month. She's alive though." Randall answered. "Come on lets get into that junk of a vehicle of yours. I would like to visit with the human."

Bella shook her head and lead Randall to her truck. It's a great truck. She thought bitterly.

In the vampire world no one that didn't already know would guess that Randall had been Bella's maker. He was rather flighty and couldn't keep still for more then a few was also a tad bit childish. Just the ride back to Forks was enough to prove this. He kept pushing buttons on her radio until it finally broke. Not from him but rather her hitting it as hard as she could. Randall responded by singing the song he had just heard twisting the lyrics with whistling and humming. It was moments like this that Bella wish she had a car so she could lock him in the trunk. Though she had her doubts. He would probably punch his way through and scare the other drivers.

She gritted her teeth for the rest of the ride back.

When her and Randall arrived at the house he jumped out of the truck. A few of her school books in his hands and headed straight for the door with Bella trailing behind him.

Jacob was asleep on the couch.

"Hello Jacob!" Randall shouted.

"Be quiet. He's sleeping." Bella hissed.

"Nonsense. His eyes are just resting."

Unable to be 'the boss' of her maker she grabbed her books and headed upstairs to put them in her room.

A loud thump alerted her to the activities downstairs.

"OUCH!" Jacob shouted.

"It was just a little nudge."

"You pushed me off the couch!"

"I wanted to say hello." Randall defended himself.

"You couldn't have waited until tomorrow?"

"Well I..."

"Calm down. Both of you." Bella said entering the living room. "Jacob how was everything?"

"Fine." Jacob said. His face not giving anything away. But rather glaring at the other vampire in the room.

"Good. Well are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry." Randall piped in.

"We don't have what you want. Unless you would like to have a sandwich." Bella responded.

"No that's quit alright." Randall said with a grimace.

"Jacob?"

"I had dinner earlier." Jacob said. "So Randall. What brings you here?" He asked.

Randall hesitated. "Change of scenery. Some time with my closes friends. Hiding from the Volturi..."

"What? Dang it Randall I asked you politely not to bring that sort of drama to my door step!" Bella fumed.

"I wouldn't have done it if I had another choice. I'm asking you as a friend. Not as your maker. To please help me." Randall pleaded getting down on his knees to prove his point.

"Tell me what's going on." Bella sighed.

"You can't be serious Bella!" Jacob shouted.

"Now isn't the time Jacob. We will listen first. We always listen before anything else."

...

Edward ran back to Forks on two legs. Rather then four. Wolf form would have been quicker. But Edward wanted to have those few extra hours of time to himself. He needed to think more and figure out what he was going to say to his family.

His family. They would be upset. He knew this. He only hoped they would listen to what he had to say. He felt like a coward. Always running when things got a little to tough for him. Leaving his family defenseless against a vampire. What if she had attacked them while he was away? And if she hadn't would they ban him from the pack for basically leaving them to face a potential danger alone?

He hadn't been thinking straight. He defended himself. But even as they were spoken only to himself the statement fell on deaf ears. Shifters may be brutal and quick to action. But they weren't stupid. They calculated things at almost the exact speed of a vampire. He should of been able to think straight. He blamed the girl. It was easier. She had clouded his mind. Already proving to Edwards stubborn ways that she wasn't a good influence. They had gotten it wrong. She wasn't his mate. It was just the human teenager in him. He snorted. He couldn't even lie to himself. They were never wrong. Never.

He pumped his legs faster.

...

Jacob listened alright. He also tapped his foot and watched a bug crawl across the floor. He even sneezed a few times. Right on Randall. Bella could translate what Randall was saying later. Jacob heard him speaking but his mind was more focused on the inevitable outcome. The one where Randall found out about the shifter being Bella's mate and then the Volturi coming and finding out about himself. Everyone was going to be vampire chow by the end of the week. Him and wolf-boy would probably be the first to go.

"Jacob. !"

He snapped out of it.

"What?" He asked Bella.

"Did you hear anything?" She asked narrowing her eyes.

"Yes?" It came out more as a question

"Then please refresh our memories of the conversation."

" . .."

"Busted." Randall snickered earning a glare from Bella.

"You will listen now then Jacob. Randall is staying. You are not to be left alone. One of us will always be near. The Volturi are apparently trying to capture Randall and Mary. They have split up. Randall doesn't know where Mary is but he know's she is alive. He fears the Volturi have taken her. He will be staying until we figure out what we are going to do."

Jacob knew exactly what they were going to do. They were going to confront the volturi and have a possible fight maybe even a war. Jacob had been around long enough to understand the vampire-maker-mate thingy bounds. He wondered what Randall here would think of wolf-boy once he found out about that little fact.

Or worse what wolf-boy here would think about going to war against the vampire kings for Bella.

...

The Cullen family was gathered in the living room. Alice's request. Though no one knew why. They were starting to get irritated with her.

"Can't we go Alice?" Rosalie whined.

"Not yet." Alice said "Everyone listen."

The room became silent and there it was Edwards feet hitting the gravel. He was back.
