LOL ENJOY33

What does love have to do with it? ….Everything.

I phased back to my human form but kept snarling at my supposed cousin. Everyone averted his or her eyes as quickly as I phased. I didn't pay a lot of mind to it though. "You son of a whoring B*TCH! You never! And I mean ever! Put your nasty teeth on my family! Do you understand me?" I screeched punching his averted face. He yelped flying back out the window. I felt a sheet go over my body and looked to see a very happy renesmee.

"you were naked." Well that explained the whole 'not-looking-at-me' deal. "Thank you" I murmured relaxing a bit. I looked at jasper with a thankful expression. I knew he had done that. I just had a feeling he did. And I was corrected by a bow of his head . a whine came from the window and all the calm left my body.

Paul.

"Well explain yourself, mutt. Better be a good excuse too" I spat at his wolf form. He growled at me and I growled back. But before it could get any worse, Seth was where I once stood and I was in a pair of cold arms going the opposite direction. "Hey! Put me down!" I screeched hitting the person on the back. Apparently jasper can't feel my hits so I bit him. He tensed real quickly but that was about it. "Now if that would've been poisonous to me, it wouldn't have been as easy to convince me you're such a nice girl after all." He snapped at me.

I paused in all of my movement and so did everyone else. I could see the worry in their eyes and I just burst into tears, immediately regretting biting jasper.

Jasper already had me in my room laying on my bed. I curled up into a ball knowing he wouldn't love me anymore.

I had lost jasper, and I hadn't even known him for so long.

Tears kept running down my face, and soon I began to give into the numbing darkness. The regret and the feeling of loss, losing its way until I awoke again.

JAPER'S POV.

I had put linda to sleep to put her at ease. Truthfully I had already forgiven her. I knew what she was doing. She was trying to protect her family, and I would've done the same thing. I couldn't put the blame on her. My heart wouldn't let me.

Plus I was perfectly fine.

I knew all of these sudden chaotic problems had taken a toll on her. After all she was the one that it was happening to. After sitting for a minute with her, I went back downstairs to the awaiting group. Wonder consumed all of them. "Linda won't be joing us for the rest of the day. So please, enjoy your stay, but try your best to avoid her room." There was something deadly about my tone that caused all of them to fear me with understanding.

"Where is she, jasper?" Esme asked. I shrugged. "somewhere in her own world." They chuckled at my answer while Esme scowled.

"This is a lot to take in for someone her age" "she's 500 years old!" Paul shouted. I snarled immediately having him by the neck, against the wall. "Understand that she is sleeping, and if you wake her up, I will kill you" I growled throwing him out the window again. "AGAIN! Stop throwing Paul out the window! I have to fix that!" Esme snapped.

Everyone found it the right time to laugh. "What are we ganna do?:" Renesmee asked. No one answered her. We couldn't. "What can we do? Nothing. At least we know she's part of the tribe somehow. It explains her phasing better." Sam said with a sigh. "It doesn't explain how she disappeared into thin air though." "Or the fact that she's not in either of our packs." "Or why she freaked out last night when she fell and broke her arm." "Is it bad to say she looks like an alpha?" Everyone turned to Quil who looked nervous. "What?" Sam all but growled. Like he was offended or something.

"She looks just as tall as you or Jacob. And it explains sort of why Seth was able to move, even just a little bit. Because he was trying to follow his mate/maybe alpha." He explained. It made sense. Seth wanted to check on his mate and his alpha wouldn't let him. It was pretty clear, alpha command or not, he was going to check on her.

Only a command from my Alice would stop me, and maybe not even then.

"My guess that she's not in either of your packs because she isn't your species. She has your genetics but her blood count is much higher than ours. Jacob remember before Renesmee was born about how I thought vampires and humans were less alike than a cat and a mountain lion?" Carlisle asked. Jacob thought for a minute then nodded.

"Yes well, remember you have twenty-four chromosomal pair, and us vampires have twenty-five? SHE has…well over seventy-six" Everyone gasped in total shock, and some in fear. "What do you mean 'well over'? Is it not possible to get a correct estimation?" Esme asked worried as always. She shook his head tensely.

"It is quite impossible, for the number keeps increasing." More shock ran through the group. Fear was rising in everyone, besides Esme, bless her stone heart.

"I know it sounds impossible but I think it's affected by our genetic mutation and the wolves. I could be wrong, and it may just have to do with being human, but You know wolves die of out venom. And we may not die but we become seriously infected and sick by your saliva. She is possibly the only person to survive a bite from a human with the wolf gene, female or not." It was all making sense, but somehow it was all still confusing.

"Well can someone explain the pull we have to her? Even for me-and I really don't care- have a feeling to protect her." Jared said. I had the sudden urge to shove my foot up his a- "Jasper!" Edward hissed glaring at me. I glared right back. He shook his head. "She wouldn't like you hurting any of them, and you know it." "That's why it called imagining, Edward." I sneered at him. He just scowled in response.

Carlisle was chuckling the whole time while Esme had a small smile playing on her lips. "She just gives off that aura. She's a sweetheart to the bottom of her soul. She's just been deprived of family and any other kind of affection, she may not know how to show it all the time. But she cares for everyone to the bottom of her heart. Beating or not." "Just like you Esme." Well isn't Seth just the little suck up. Esme's lip quivered as she pulled him into a hug, telling him she loved him. "She doesn't care for the blond though." "That's a lie." Edward stated.

He stared at Rosalie, who was surprisingly quiet through this whole encounter. "She loves even the most horrible of people, or at least she tries. She may act as if she doesn't care, but I know sometimes she cries in the shower of a lost hope of an aunt or sister, or even a motherly type besides Esme." He murmured. Everyone was now feeling a sort of hate towards Rosalie, even rose herself. Knowing that Linda had cried, after putting up that strong brave mask in front of us. Emmett was beyond ashamed.

"she…cried?" Renesmee asked sadly. Edward nodded pulling her into a hug. "all I keep getting when she slips is Rosalie's words 'she looks just like the ugly troll that walked in', 'Devils daughter', and 'never be part of this family or any family by the looks of it.'" by now wolves were visibly shaking and Esme was holding Seth as she quietly cried on his shoulder. He was seething with anger.

"Cause saying that, shows how humane you are." Growled Bradey, the quietest wolf there. Rosalie eyes had glassed over and her emotions were everywhere. Her face was perfectly blank though, as she stood up and walked out the house as if nothing had happened. Edward grinned though like he had accomplished something. "I have, oh dear brother of mine. One down, and one to go." He chuckled. Everyone was confused but paused in panicked as the door upstairs opened. We all stared at each other, then the stairs to see what was coming to us.

I'm not even sure we were ready! none of us had thought we'd see her for awhile.

Oh dear lord, she was furious.

LINDA'S POV

"-She may act as if she doesn't car, but I know sometimes she cries in the shower of a lost hope of an aunt or sister, or even a motherly type besides Esme." I heard someone say. It sounded like Edward. Was he talking about me? He has to be. They always talked about me.

"she…cried?" a small voice asked. Renesmee. I sat up listening more intently. My anger slowly building up. They talked about me while I was ASLEEP. . "all I keep getting when she slips is Rosalie's words 'she looks just like the ugly troll that walked in', 'Devils daughter', and 'never be part of this family or any family by the looks of it.'" I hissed way too quietly for them to hear. HOW DARE HE SPEAK OF MY THOUGHTS LIKE ITS NOTHING! Those were private!

I jumped out of bed silently, opening the door. I slowly made my way down the stairs, stopping to grab another 3 of Esme's mirrors and walking down again. And soon as I was in view I chucked all three of them at Edwards head, hitting him directly of after the other in the forehead. He hissed at me pulling Renesmee behind him and I hissed back.

"THOSE WERE PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND YOU SPEAK THEM AS IF THEY WERE NOTHING BUT THE NEWS!" I screeched jumping at him. Someone caught me around the waist and I was ready to bite again but paused in horror. Hadn't I just bit jasper and I was ready to bite someone else?

Such a monster. I stopped struggling and burst into sobs clutching the person as tight as I could. I couldn't believe this was happening. "Linda-" "Save me the bullcrap Edward!" I snapped sniffing. I glared at him.

"My thoughts are private and if I slip, I expect you to keep them private, NOT speak them out to everyone! How could you! And it's not only you! Everyone in here just listened, not even wondering for a second, if I allowed you to say it!" I sobbed.

I look up to see ashamed jasper. "Am I really that hated that all my thoughts that slip have to be put on broadcast?" I cried in a squeaky voice. He pulled me to his chest harder as he shook. Waves of lethargy were thrown at me and my eyes shut without a battle.

JASPER'S POV

Another mistake we all made. My body shook with all the guilt and shame that passed through the room, as I went back up the stairs to have her in bed. When I came back down Alice came to wrap her arms around me, as her body shook with anguish. "She's right you know." Collin said softly. "We invaded her privacy, and didn't even think twice about it. She's done nothing but keep our secrets and our thoughts private, along with Edward, and here we are, allowing him to speak hers freely" Esme choked out.

The grief in the room was too much. "I'm sorry" he whispered leaving the room. Bella followed with a guilty expression. She may not be the warmest person to Linda, but she treated her as she would anyone new. Nice and welcoming, but still weary. "She thinks we hate her." Renesmee sobbed. Jacob held her tightly, eyes filled with shame. "We should stop discussing this, as to keep the calm and forget what was spoken some." We all knew we wouldn't forget what happened, but at least it'd give us the illusion that we could forget.

Carlisle sighed as he sat on the couch, rubbing his face. "Maybe it's best if we just stop talking about anything of Linda until she awakes. Would you guys like something to eat? I wouldn't mind feeding you breakfast…and lunch…and maybe dinner..." We couldn't help but chuckle at Esme's sweet yet pleading offer. We all knew she loved to cook, no matter how big the portion. It made her feel more of a mother that way.

"I have no problem with that. Do you guys?" Jacob asked with a smirk. Some looked uncomfortable, but others shrugged like it was nothing. "Um, that's okay with me." Esme beamed at Sam's words. She knew he had the most trouble with us, even if he was warming up. "Maybe Emily can-" "NO!" he growled out at her. We all tensed and Carlisle was out of his seat in crouched in front of his mate ready to defend her.

He hissed with his face twisted in fury. "I treat you and your family with all the respect I give anyone, and I expect the same for my family!" he roared. Esme put a shaking hand on her shoulder. She emitted fear and rejection out onto me and into the air.

Her face was heart breaking. "No, it was my fault. I'm sorry Sam. I should've known it was too far." She smiled even though it didn't reach her eyes. She excused herself quickly as a soft sob escaped her lips and broke the smile on her face. He was immediately regretful. "I-I…Esme…"he stammered out trying to follow but Carlisle hissed.

Seth, Jacob, Collin, Bradey, Paul and Jared basically Glared at him. "Actually Esme, I was kind of hoping I could bring Claire over today. Maybe for lunch? I saw you still had some skates in the attic and hoped we could use them?" Sam tensed as Quil spoke strongly and tensely, almost asking Sam to say no.

He turned quickly glaring at him as if he could make him say no. "Yeah I wouldn't mind bringing Kim over. Maybe you could teach her that awesome cinnamon peach pie you make. Plus she asked me if she could meet you guys for awhile now. She makes me sleep on the floor when I say later" I smirked at the hilariousness in that. Emmett bursts into a fit of loud laughter and I can feel Esme's spirits lift at Quil and Jared's words. I sent them a wave of appreciation and they just nod in response.

Esme walks into the living room slowly and stand beside Carlisle's still crouched form with a small smile. It wasn't as happy as we would have liked but it was better than before. Quil moved first and picked her up spinning her around, automatically sending her spirits into the clouds. She laughs with a small sob into his shoulder as he sets her down and kisses her forehead.

Carlisle who was on edge before, completely calmed down and stood with a soft smile as he saw his mate was feeling better. "of course Quil. I'm sure Alice and Renesmee wouldn't mind. I bet they'd even play dress up with her like rose and Alice used to with Renesmee!" she said excitedly. Alice squealed and clapped jumping from my side, going into the kitchen with Esme and Renesmee. Now it was just us men and I could feel the tension rise as the women left.

"Well then, Sam, I believe we have people to go pick up. Let's go and talk on the way there, yeah?" Jared asked patting him on the back with a tight smile. Quil didn't even bother to hide his glare as his body shook. Sam just sighed and walked out with everyone, besides Jacob. "I'm sorry Doc. Some of them…still need time." He explained with a sad smile. Carlisle nodded with a small glare on his face where Sam and the other left.

"I understand Jacob. But please inform Sam that if my mate is ever growled at like that again, there will be consequences…and I will not regret my actions." Hearing Carlisle speak like that was scary, even for me. Even Jacob felt a tinge of fear but hid it well as he nodded and left the house.

"Hey Quil, what size…where'd they go?" Esme frowned as she walked into the living room. Esme laughed and Carlisle's smile was back on. "They left to go get their imprints, my love. Don't you think it's best to start on lunch for them?" he asked. Esme nodded fiercely as her brows furrowed going back into the kitchen.

We all sat down hoping for a few minutes of calm, until we heard a moan upstairs. Emmett started sobbing and Carlisle's face looked pained. "Whyyyyy?" Emmett shouted in horror. I couldn't help but laugh.

There was just no relaxing in this beloved Cullen house.

WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS! CHAPTER 9! REVIEW:) PLEASE AND THANK YOU!^.^
