A/N: Thanks to Ironyheartsap for telling me to write for me and not for anyone else. I think she may've shock me into enjoying writing this again! I'm not 100% sure if this chapter is to my best because I'm not confident writing Edward and Bella. Please R&R everyone:
Chapter 7:
Edward continued to hold on to Bella protectively after Rose and Jacob left. She placed her head softly on his chest, and he helpd her close. 'Are you all right?' he asked.
She didn't reply, but she didn't need to, she simply nodded her head slightly. That single movement told him what neither words nor mind reading would've. She was all right now he was here.
'Let's go inside' he whispered and led her inside. He almost laughed 'You know it's a good thing your father's not here'
Bella froze and stared at Edward 'We're so not going to tell Charlie what happened' she insisted.
'Of course not' replied Edward.
Once they were inside he sat next to her on the couch. He couldn't stop thinking about that girl, Rose.
'Are you all right?' Bella asked him.
He smiled 'Of course...' he paused before adding 'I couldn't read her mind.' He stared straight ahead rather than looking at Bella. 'I can read everyone's mind, except yours, you're the only exception, but when it came to Rose there was a complete blank. There was nothing there, just like you. But it was more than that, she's different somehow...'
'Different how?' asked Bella, confused.
'That's just it' replied Edward. 'I don't know. I can't work out what it is about her, but something is different. There was a few thoughts in Jacob's mind about her, about aliens and Torchwood but he was mostly thinking about you.'
Bella was tempted to ask what Jacob was thinking about her, but decided it would probably be best not too.
'It was more than that though. Rose isn't just a Torchwood employee, I just can't work out what is so different from her' continued Edward. 'She's human, but it's almost like she's not completely human, but that's madness. She can't be mostly human...' he trailed off.
Bella put her arm around his neck 'Just forget about her' she said.

'I'm so sorry' said Rose for the millionth time as they walked back to La Push.
Also for the millionth time Jacob replied 'Rose, honestly it's fine'
'I didn't mean to get into a fight with her, honestly I didn't' Rose babbled on. 'I just...I don't know, I thought about everything you said, and got really annoyed with her and...' she paused for a second and continued 'If I'm honest, Jake, I don't think I was really annoyed with Bella...I was fed up of everything and Bella wound me up' She looked up at Jacob. 'I think I should apologise'
'Rose, shut up' Jacob told her. 'All the way back here you've been apologising and everything, not just shut up all right?'
Rose smiled slightly 'All right, sorry'
'ROSE!' shouted Jacob, he meant to sound annoyed but ended up laughing. 'As for apologising, maybe, but not now. Edward won't let you anywhere near her for a while and he'll hear us coming a mile off'
'Super-hearing?' asked Rose in disbelief.
Jacob laughed again, 'No. He can read minds.'
Rose stopped walking and stared at Jacob. 'Edward Cullen can read minds and you didn't think to tell me this beforehand?'
Jacob looked innocent 'Sorry' he said 'I didn't think about it'
Rose started walking again, and to herself rather than Jacob she muttered 'Men'
'Charming' replied Jacob.

'Edward!' moaned Bella. She had been trying to kiss him, but he had been even more unresponsive than usual. She didn't need to be a mind reader to know his mind was still on Rose. 'Just forget about her' she repeated what she had said before. 'She's just a friend of Jacob's, she's not important' Bella couldn't keep the pang of jealousy out of her voice. She knew it was stupid and that she had nothing to be jealous of, but she couldn't help being jealous that Jacob had a close female friend that wasn't her.
Edward took no notice of the jealousy in her voice. 'I know, Bella. It's just bothering me'
'Maybe you should talk to Carlisle about it' suggested Bella. She was hoping Edward would say "nah, I'm sure it's nothing" and forget about it. But he didn't.
'Yeah, you're right. He'd know what to do' said Edward.
Bella had one of those rare moments where she was glad that Edward couldn't read her mind, so he couldn't hear that she was annoyed with him about this. Why couldn't Edward see that Rose was just another girl? Edward didn't make a big deal of the fact that he couldn't read her mind, so why did this Rose matter so much?
'Let's go now' said Edward and ran out of the house at top speed. At human speed Bella followed him out and got into her truck. Edward drove them to the Cullen house at full speed.

'I'm sure Bella's right, Edward' Carlisle said once Edward had explain about Rose. 'She's probably just another one of those unexplainable things, like Bella. I wouldn't worry about it'
'Yeah' Edward replied distantly. But he couldn't just forget about it. He couldn't explain it, it just felt wrong.
'EEEEDDDWAAARRRD!!!!!!' Alice screamed as she came running into the room. She stopped in front of him and Bella. 'Edward…that girl…that Rose'
Jasper appeared behind Alice and calmed her down.
'What about Rose?' asked Edward.
'I don't really know' said Alice, she suddenly seemed confused. 'I can't explain it, there's something of a wolf about her. I don't understand. She's not a werewolf, but…that's just it, there's something of a wolf about her. It doesn't make sense'
Edward turned to Carlisle.
'Looks like you were right' said Carlisle. 'Alice what exactly did you see?'
'All I saw was her eyes glowing bright yellow' replied Alice. 'and she said "I am the bad wolf". What does this mean Carlisle?'
'I don't know' replied Carlisle honestly. 'but I wouldn't worry about it until something happens'
