A/N: So you guys kinda liked this story eh? I did get some reviews saying I spelled Eleazar's name wrong and I apologize. For some reason my dyslexia kicks my ass with that one. I have always said Eleazra ever since I read the books, I don't know why, it's a strange thing that happens to me. But I will make sure that it is right from now on, so thank you to those of you that pointed it out.
Anywho, I have been on an updating kick the last few days. I have also been working on some contests, The Pick Your Own Adventure Contest and I'm about to work on the We Heart It Contest, check those out and vote when the time comes, PLEASE.
I am also still avoiding writing my Epilogue for Getting Back What Once was Lost, it will be so sad to see that end and I think I'll need to spend some time with it.
If you guys like banners for stories, the girls over on Free Writers have made me some for my stories. I just put in a request for this story today so that should be around soon. You can find the banners on my Free Writer's page or at my blog (That needs updating) and the link is on my profile.
I was thinking of making a Facebook or a Twitter so you guys can send questions and such. Would you like that?
Disclaimer: I do not own anything as far as Twilight is concerned, I am excited that I got to switch my Eclipse calendar a week ago, and now I get to look at Alex Meraz's sexy face for a month, but I can't wait until July when I can stare at Jackson Rathbone all month.
Previously on: Surrounded by Your Embrace:
We got in the car and Jane drove (which looked funny with how little she was) and we got to the hotel, Bella and I went to a room and she stripped her clothes off and jumped in the shower. It was like she was ignoring my presence and I didn't like it so I got bold and stripped my own clothes and climbed in the shower behind her.
"What are you doing?" Bella asked while she was trying to cover up her body.
"I want to talk to you." I responded and placed kisses on the back of her shoulders and her exposed neck.
"N-n-n-ow?" she stuttered. "You couldn't wait until I was done?"
"You were too tempting, Princess." I ran my nose along the column of her throat, "Well I wanted to talk but then I got a different idea."
"Oh yeah what's that?" she said getting some of her boldness back. She turned around in my arms so she was facing me and placed kisses on my chest.
"A little something like this," I pinned her to the wall and smashed my lips to hers. She instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist and I felt a fire burning between us that wouldn't be extinguished easily.
Chapter 2:
Jasper POV:
I was about to continue the exploration of my mate's body when the she devil from hell cleared her throat and interrupted us. I tried to ignore her I really did, but Bella had a conscious even thought I didn't.
"Yes Jane," she giggled her body still wrapped around mine.
"Um, Bella, your dad wants to talk to you and um, Alice Cullen keeps calling." Jane tried to sound professional but she was internally laughing, I could feel it.
"We'll be right there Jane." Bella dismissed her and looked at me, sighed and lowed herself down into the shower again.
"What are you doing Bella?" I asked, spinning her around to meet my eyes.
"I'm sorry Jasper, we don't have time for this, and it's probably not the best time, I mean we just met." She started to ramble after that, "Plus my father would probably sick the entire guard on you, and we just don't know each other, I'm not a slut."
I had to cut her off there, "No one said you were a slut Bella." I said sternly, "And if you think we aren't ready, that's fine, I just….had to be close to you. I apologize." I grabbed a towel and left her standing there under the spray. I heard her call for me but I didn't look back. I went and sat on the balcony of the hotel room and watched as the stars became visible, at least to my eyes.
Jane joined me not long after I got comfortable, "You know that if you hurt her, we'll all take turns killing you."
I gave her a nod and realized I was still in my towel. When I went back inside to retrieve my clothes I found Bella pulling a dress over her head, I saw outlines of bite marks just like mine all over her body, not nearly as many as mine, but I still knew what they were. "Bella?" I asked.
She turned around and saw me watching her, and I felt her embarrassment spike. "I'm sorry Jasper." She bowed her head and I moved at vampire speed across the room to her. I put my hand under her chin and raised it so I could look into her eyes. For the first time since we met, I realized she was a vegetarian and had golden eyes just like mine. For some reason when we had spoken before, it didn't matter and I hadn't paid attention.
"You're a vegetarian." I stated to obvious.
"I am," she responded, "Carlisle told me about it when he visited. I'm the only one in the guard."
I nodded, "And your bite marks?"
"I told you I went on missions, did you think they didn't fight back?" she said defensively.
"I'm sorry Bella." She just shook her head, "Forget about it."
"So you wanna go back to the Cullen's?" I asked.
"Um no, not tonight, I think tomorrow. Alice said that your family wanted an explanation about Eleazar's weird behavior towards me." She shrugged. I grabbed her again and noticed the bruising under her eyes.
"When did you hunt last?" I asked tracing the bruises.
"A few days before we left Italy." She nuzzled my hand and let out a purr. She suddenly became very surprised and moved away from me but I grabbed her and kissed her full on the mouth. We were battling our tongues in the other's mouth when Jane once again made her very annoying presence known.
"Am I going to see this every time I have to talk to you?" She said impatiently tapping her foot with a hand on her hip.
"Jane, be a dear and give us a minute?" Bella nicely ordered her to leave us alone, "Well Jasper, we keep getting caught in this position."
"I like this position, very much." I whispered into her ear, I felt her shiver in desire. I sat down on the bed and pulled her into my lap so she was straddling me, "Now I really like this position, princess."
She let out a moan and then stopped herself. I reminded myself that she was a real princess who followed proper etiquette rules and all that shit, and I was a country boy, who cursed, fucked and kicked ass everywhere I went. Bella and I were very different people and had a lot to talk about before we were completely comfortable, but I was just so damn into her that I really wanted to be in her.
Bella stood off my lap and excused herself to go speak with Jane. They talked but didn't let me know what it was about, then we watched a few movies to pass the night time. Morning came and I insisted on taking Bella hunting. She obliged and then whispered something I couldn't hear so I asked her to repeat it. "I said, I sent Jane home, I hope you were serious about keeping me safe."
"Of course I will Bella, you are my mate, why wouldn't I?" I asked then I contemplated, "Who all do I really have to keep you safe from?"
She shrugged and gave me a wicked smile, "Everyone, whatever will happen when the vampire world finds out that the only biological child of a Volturi King is out of the castle without the guard."
She was kidding but I thought about it and that could be a serious problem. Would people really want to come after her? Could I really keep her safe? It's been a really long ass time since I've had to deal with anything. Should I call in reinforcements or would the family be enough.
"Jasper?" Bella nudged my shoulder, "Are you okay?"
"Um, yeah, let's hunt." I said unsteadily.
Bella looked at me warily, but didn't ask anymore questions and we broke off into the forest for a hunt. We met back at the car and started our drive toward home.
"Do you think Alice and James will tell me their whole real story?" Bella asked full of hope.
"I would almost bet on it. She never passes up a chance to tell it." I grabbed Bella's hand across the center console of the car and brought it to my lips.
When we pulled into the driveway, the whole family was waiting for us. Alice was jumping up and down and James was trying to hold her back from pouncing on Bella. Carlisle was feeling extremely excited and happy. Rose was still standoffish and was keeping Emmett back, while Edward was front and center and bubbling with frustration.
I got out of the car and raced around to open Bella's door, she looked up at me with glazed over eyes and I raised and eyebrow at her. Her feelings were full of lust, love and something…..gooey, sweet, it was like she was swooning. I mean I knew I made girls swoon before, but making my mate swoon was putting points of the board.
Alice was about to say something when Edward let out a nasty growl. I turned to him and blocked Bella behind me. "Dammit Bella, do you think you could give me my power back?"
I looked a Bella for an answer and remembered her shield. "How far can it go Bella?"
"Can we wait and do the Bella Inquisition inside, I don't feel very comfortable out here. I feel….exposed." She whispered into my back.
We all made our way inside and spread out in the living room like we had done the day before when Bella arrived and told her first story, now she had more to tell and I was anxious, as was most of my family.
Bella held my hand and started out, "I know you want to know about what happened yesterday with Eleazar." The family nodded and she continued. "Okay well when Carlisle was leaving Volterra, Eli came in. He joined us a few years before Carlisle left, it felt like a brief time, but you get me right?" again we nodded and I wanted to chuckle at her concepts of time.
"Anyway, when my father introduced me and told him our whole story, Eli through a big fit. He ran around calling me the anti-Christ. He said I was going to be the end of the vampire race and that I would kill everyone. He swears I'm too powerful for my own good and that it will end everything." She summarized.
"Wait, so Eli still thinks you are going to kill us all off? Why would you wait like what 400 years?" Emmett barked out a laugh.
Bella shifted in her seat, "Yes, Emmett, thank you for pointing out my age."
I shot my brother a glare and he held his hands up in surrender. "What else Bella?" I asked.
"Well you guys know I'm a shield, it's mental and physical." She looked around the room, "And I supposedly inherited my mother's gift."
A wave of confusion spread throughout the room, did Didyme really have a gift? I looked around the room and no one else seemed to know the answer either.
"She had the gift of selflessness, just as Carlisle's is compassion." Bella told the room and rolled her eyes. "My father swears I have it but I don't understand, my shield can expand to cover the whole castle at home, both of them actually."
Silence filled the room for at least ten minutes. A shield was rare, I'd never seen one in all my time with Maria, and I'd never heard of one, but I'd never heard of duplicate gifts. I knew that Renata in the guard had some sort of shield but Bella's didn't sound like hers at all.
Bella cleared her throat and we all turned to her, "Alice do you think you and James could tell me your story now? Please? It's my favorite to hear."
Rose scoffed and asked, "Why do you enjoy hearing the stories of other's so much?"
"Well Rosalie, I was literally locked in a castle for hundreds of years and I am a real princess. I am a true fairy tale. I also like to hear the stories first hand because I keep a historical log of everything back in Volterra." Bella answered without batting an eyelash.
"You're the historian?" Edward asked.
"Pretty much, I told you, I lingered in the halls and hidden passages and listened whenever I could. After I turned full vamp and went on missions, I listened to the accounts and wrote them down." She shrugged it off like it was nothing.
Alice was bouncing again and full of excitement. "Oh Bella, you don't know what it means to us that you want to hear our story."
"Well then tell it, silly." Bella moved to sit on the edge of her seat and I had to laugh. She looked like a little girl about to be read to so she could go to sleep.
James cleared his throat, "Okay, I guess I'll start and then Alice will jump in and we'll go back and forth okay?" Bella nodded and he continued, "You have to know this first, Alice and I were sweethearts before we were turned."
Bella gasped and exclaimed, "You guys were in love before you were vampires?"
"Yes we were," James started again, "We were both from good families and when Alice's visions started getting more frequent, she would try to warn people. The town's people started calling her a witch and placed her into an asylum. When my family found out about it, they called off the engagement and cut all ties with her family so we would still look like a good family."
Bella nodded enthusiastically and James continued, "Anyway, about a year after Alice was put in the asylum, I went out on a hunting trip with my father. He wanted to talk to me about courting another girl, I kept telling him I was in love with Alice and that I wanted to visit her, but he said it was out of the question. During our trip, I was suddenly flung into a tree and I felt my bones break all over my body. I heard a voice say that would make it stop and then I felt the fire."
James looked at Alice and she had unshed tears floating in her eyes. I felt the love flowing off of them and I hoped one day Bella and I would feel the same way. She squeezed my hand as if she noticed the same thing.
"Anyway, so in 1901, two years later, I went to that asylum where they were holding Alice. When I woke up, I was all alone, my sire gone, I couldn't remember many things from my life except Alice. I didn't remember my last name, nothing except my name was James and I loved a girl named Alice who was locked in an asylum. I started to run towards where I knew she was and I broke in. My Alice was being tortured by those monsters, my throat burned so badly and I attacked them all. I killed any doctor who dared touch my Alice. I found her in her room and I took her deep into the forest. I bit her and sat with her for two days when I smelled the scent of my sire."
Again Bella gasped and the family chuckled at her animated responses, "I had ingrained that smell into my mind so that I could ask him why he left me. He attacked me and told me I couldn't be breaking as many laws as I just did. He didn't want to hurt me but he would. I still had Alice in my arms and I hid her away and began a fight with my sire. He called himself Xander. We fought and fought and we moved farther and father away from Alice."
Alice jumped in now, "And when I woke up, I was all alone, I didn't know anything about who I was or anything. I was a blank slate, the only things I saw were my visions. My visions started of James, and it looked like he was chasing me to hurt me. I was in that flight part of my instincts and I ran and ran away from him. I evaded him for more than twenty years. In 1925, I had the first vision of Carlisle and the family. I saw myself standing with James and we were holding hands. I stopped my running that day. He caught up to me in New Orleans, we got married and made plans to head towards Carlisle when I had the visions of Jazz joining us."
"Wait," Bella interjected, "What did you do for those twenty four years James?"
"Well Bella, I um….well besides chasing Alice, I met Victoria and Laurent. I met Vic in Canada in 1912, she was hunting men outside a brothel and I stumbled into her. She thought I was invading her territory and I told her the story of Alice and she agreed to help me find her. We met Laurent in California ten years later, he was gambling in some bar, we weren't all together long, but they hung back when Alice finally let me in." James was fidgeting, the reminiscing about his time apart from his mate was uncomfortable.
Alice jumped in again, "Anyway, we did all hang out in New Orleans, they came to the wedding, it was really sweet. I saw them coming with us to Carlisle, but when I saw the vision of Jasper I knew he would need the least amount of people in his face. Vic and Laurent were scared after I told them of Jasper's scars." I flinched and Bella squeezed my hand, "But Jazz wouldn't be where I could find him until 1948, so they left and James and I had a honeymoon for twenty years." Alice giggled, "We met Jazz in the diner in Philly, and we made our way towards the Cullen's. Emmett had just found his singer and they moved again, so it took us a while to find them again. In 1955 we all showed up on their doorstep and retold the whole story. We were here in Alaska and Carlisle had the Denali's over, Laurent instantly set his eyes on Irina and they mated as well as Vic and Tanya, I knew it all from my visions, but it was still exciting to see."
"And Jasper?" Bella asked.
"Oh you know our broody Emo-pire. He shied away from everyone for a few decades and got used to our diet. And the rest is history." Alice concluded. Bella was full of awe and some sort of admiration.
"That is the best story, I have ever heard!" She clapped, "Although, I may just kill Simon and Fiona for not telling me you guys were sweethearts as humans!"
Everyone froze the moment she mentioned someone knowing the story, "Who are they princess?" I asked.
"Oh, you um….basically, they were Peter and Charlotte for Maria when I took her out. They were trying to get away from her the day we took over and begged me to spare them. I did and they became good friends. I actually introduced them to Peter and Charlotte, they get along quite well." She shrugged like it was no big deal. "Oh they even lit the fire for me when I through Maria in the pile." She let out and evil laugh and my lust level skyrocketed. Hearing her laugh about killing my sire and the slut-pire made all kinds of things in my body react.
Rose caught my eye and asked, "Jazz, can you come with me to town for something?"
I looked at Bella and she shrugged, "Go have fun with your sister, I'll stay here and get to know everyone better."
I felt the excitement coming off a few members of my family, and one in particular had me steaming. "Bella, I don't think that's a good idea. Why don't you come?"
"No Jazz, I need to speak to you," Rose interjected, "Alone." She gave Bella and evil look and I let out a hiss toward my sister.
I sighed and went to leave when Edward caught me at the door, "Don't worry about Bella being safe, I'll take good care of her while you're gone." He said smugly.
"I'm sure you will, just make sure you keep your hands to yourself asshole." I pushed him against the wall and growled in his face, "She's my mate, not yours."
"Whatever you say Jazz." He walked off feeling smug and I really wanted to kick his ass but my sister was pulling me towards her car.
"What's this about Rose?" I asked full of annoyance.
Bella POV:
I watched as Jasper drove away with his sister. I wasn't sure what her problem was with me, but I hope they settled it. I didn't want to cause a rift between them. I sighed and turned away from the window where I watched my mate leave and when I did I ran straight into what felt like a brick wall. Before I could fall, I felt someone wrap their arms around me, but they felt, different, and unwanted.
"Bella, you must be the only clumsy vampire I know." I saw Edward flash me a smile while he steadied me.
"Thanks for the help Edward." I moved to walk away when I caught the baby grand piano in the front room. "Who's is that?" I asked him.
"It's mine, why?" Edward scrunched up his nose I guess because he couldn't read my mind and he wasn't used to having to actually ask that question.
"Do you play?" he nodded and pulled me toward the piano. I heard the melody play and closed my eyes so I could remember it. "It's beautiful."
I felt him inch towards me on the bench and I tried to move back, "What are you doing?"
"Come on Bella, you must know that you and I are much better suited for each other then you and Jasper." He suggested and I growled in anger.
"Don't say that." I stood to run away when Alice screamed.
"Edward, we talked about this. Bella is with Jasper, she is going to be your sister. Get used to it!" Alice screeched at him.
Jasper was gone for six agonizing hours. He didn't call to check in or let me know where he was and I was going out of my mind. In those six hours though, Edward had finally agreed that we were better off as siblings rather then mates. Sure he was gorgeous, but I liked my ruggedly handsome mate better. We found that we had many of the same interests and he even suggested that his real last name was the only one besides Whitlock that no one was using at school so I could use it.
I admitted that I didn't want to use Whitlock for schooling. I hoped one day I would bare that name, but I wanted it to be given to me properly. I didn't want to just borrow it. When I explained that to Edward he thought about it a while and came up with the Masen solution.
We were laughing and testing out how it would sound when Jasper came in the door looking at us in anger. "Why are you calling her Bella Masen?"
Edward answered, "I suggested it for school. We were trying it out to see how it sounded and if she would answer to it."
Jasper nodded tensely, "I'm going to shower, can we talk when I get out." I just nodded and let him walk up the steps.
"He seemed angry." I whispered.
"Rose is protective of him. Something might have happened. He came home alone." Edward shrugged.
I didn't want to sit there and wait so I went and roamed the house until I found the room where Jasper's scent was the most potent. His room had to be the size of three rooms, it seemed like his sitting room, library and bedroom were all in one. His room was covered in historical Confederate paraphernalia. There was a flag on one wall and then a sword hanging on a wall. Two walls were covered in bookshelves and then in the corner I saw a guitar. I hoped he played, because that was….sexy. If I dared myself to say.
On a desk against another wall held a laptop. I saw the IPod thing that Jane had been trying to get me to buy. I clicked on the song playing and listened to the words and found it to be one of my favorites to listen to.
"I can play that you know." I heard Jasper's voice say from behind me. "It's a duet though you might need to help me."
I turned around and froze, he wasn't dressed. He just had a towel wrapped around his waist and his hair was dripping wet. I instinctively licked my lips wanting to taste his skin, like before.
Jasper POV:
I listened for four hours while Rose bereted me for letting someone new into the family. She was especially mad that said person was from the Volturi. She ranted and raved and I didn't say a word because if I did, I might have killed her.
She didn't care how sweet and nice Bella seemed, but she thought the Volturi were just trying to gain access into our family. She's basically screaming conspiracy theory, something about the girl Chelsea who can bond you to someone, is really the one who mated us and that we didn't really mate. We aren't true mates. She just kept on and on. I finally snapped and told her to fuck off and if she didn't like it to stay out of my way and out of my life.
When I came home, I heard Bella and Edward at his piano and he was calling her Bella Masen. I didn't like that shit one bit. If she is not Bella Volturi, she should only be known as Bella Whitlock. They of course explained it was for when we went back to Forks and I was excited that Bella was coming with us and for once I wouldn't be alone. I suddenly felt bad for snapping at Edward since he was the only one who would now be alone. Maybe Bella had a friend she could introduce him to?
I went up to my room to take a shower since I had to run home and got caught in a storm. When I got out, I found Bella in my room. She was gazing around in amazement and when I found her at my computer with my music, I couldn't help myself but egg her on.
"I can play that you know," I let my voice go thick with lust and I felt hers triple. "It's a duet though, you might need to help me."
I wanted to see what stuff Bella liked and didn't like. I hoped we had the same interests and if not maybe I could teach her. She turned around and noticed my state of undress and licked her lips. I really wanted to pull her into my arms, throw her on my bed and officially mate with her, but I didn't.
"Maybe I should get dressed," I offered. Bella nodded but still eyed me like I was a piece of meat. "Then we could talk?"
"I'd like that." She nodded and looked down.
After I got dressed, I sat down on the bed and patted the spot next to me. "Bella, I'm a real son of a bitch. I curse, a lot, I flirt, a lot, I get into fights and I want to fuck your brains out. You make me crazy woman." I started I figured being honest was the best bet, "But I know that you are a prime and proper princess and you don't really approve of all those things, but I think I could handle corrupting you a little."
Bella just stared at me and then busted out laughing, "Wow, that was so romantic." She tried to control the laughter before she spoke again, "Really, I'm blown away. You almost had me with the song, I almost fell for it."
She stood up to leave, "Maybe this was a mistake."
Before she could, I grabbed my guitar and started to play and sing, "Let's run away, Where nothing stands between me and you Let's find a place somewhere a little closer to the truth, And call it a home Where there is no right and there's no wrong And we can be all alone"
It went into the chorus and she sang along with me, "And I'll take off my halo, if you take off your wings You don't have to be invincible cause I sure ain't no saint You'll always be my angel no matter what you do Cause you take me to heaven just by being you"
What surprised me was when she belted out the next part for herself, ".Tell me a secret Tell me things that no one else should know Even in your weakness Baby drop your guard, just let it go Until everything's exposed And you don't have to feel ashamed Baby, just say my name (ohh)"
I looked up at her in awe and paused for the briefest of seconds before I kept playing.
And I'll take off my halo, if you take off your wings
You don't have to be invincible cause I sure ain't no saint
You'll always be my angel no matter what you do
Cause you take me to heaven just by being you.
When I see you standing there
You know it all becomes so clear
The way you look, the way you talk
I need the way you lift me up
This will never feel complete
Until there's nothing in between
And we have broke down every wall
Baby baby baby baby let's just fall
And I'll take off my halo
Yeah, and I'll take off my wings
You don't have to be invincible cause I sure ain't no saint
You'll always be my angel no matter what you do
Cause you take me to heaven
Just by being you
Ohh, you take me to heaven
Just by being you
Let's run away
Let's run away
When we finished we both just stared at each other. Nothing was said, she sprinted from the door and was in my arms kissing the hell out of me before I could blink. I kissed her with everything I had, then I laid her down on my bed.
"Jasper, I love that song." She admitted.
"I do too Princess, it's one of my favorites." I kissed her sweetly on the lips and then moved along side her jaw line and up her ear.
"Jasper, I think, well I know," she let out a small moan as I continued kissing her, "Dammit, I know we are meant to be, but couldn't you maybe court me a little?"
I stopped all my kissing and just stared at her. Fuck, I was using her like I'd used vampire females in the passed, fuck and go. I was just trying to get into her pants. I knew I should have been wanting more since she was my mate, but I was just such a jackass that I wasn't listening to my own instincts.
I didn't say anything and just stared at her when she spoke in a small voice, "I'm going to go see Carlisle and call my father. You almost had me fooled Jasper."
"Bella wait," I called after her, "Please."
Suddenly my phone was ringing and I saw that it was Peter, "Hi Peter." I answered.
"How do you like Princess Bella?" he asked.
"I, um…well I fucked up." Then I backtracked, "How the hell did you know?"
"Word travels fast when the infamous Major of the Southern Armies mates with the Volturi Princess." He chuckled.
"I messed up. I tried to fuck her, I haven't even," I couldn't even speak anymore I let out a feral growl.
"Whoa Major calm down. I'm sure it'll all work out. Tell her Fi and Simon say hey and so do we, but I gotta go." He hung up before I could say anything back and I was confused as fuck.
I sat there on my bed and thought about who I could go to for help. I could ask Carlisle what it was like for women in his day, since Bella was born then but then I would have to explain how I fucked up. The only other person who had a good set of morals was Edward and I sucked it up and walked to his room to ask for help.
I knocked before I walked inside and found him sitting smugly on his sofa with his arms behind his head, "You have a question brother?"
"Dammit Edward, I need help courting Bella." I admitted in a soft whisper so she wouldn't hear me.
"Why can't you do it brother?" he taunted. He was asking to get his ass kicked.
"Because I'm a crass son of a bitch and I just tried to get into her pants" I growled to him. "Help me fix this before we get to Forks."
He didn't answer me but stood from the sofa and pulled me out of his room, "We have a meeting downstairs about that right now."
When we got into the living room everyone was sitting in their places just as they had when Alice retold their story. Rose was back and was glaring at Bella again. I had a feeling this was going to lead to a cat fight before it got any resolved. But Bella wasn't even acknowledging her looks. She just felt, sad, and upset and dammit I caused it.
Carlisle stood and announced to the room, "Bella has chosen to use Edward's human name of Masen when we go to Forks. The story will be that she is Edward's sister by blood that was separated from him in the car crash that killed his parents. Since we have found her we took her in and all that. Bella we will have to introduce you to the wolves in Forks to add you to the treaty…." He continued talking but pure fear was radiating off her.
"Wolves?" She cried, "No wolves."
Bella started to shake and rock with her arms wrapped around her knees that were pushed into her chest. "Can't see wolves… No wolves." She kept repeating and I could have killed Carlisle for this.
"Dammit Carlisle, you knew her mother was killed by wolves, you couldn't have said anything else?" I growled at him.
"What did you want me to say?" he challenged and when he did Bella's shield shot out over us and blocked the rest of the family from coming in. Even in her emotionally weakened state she was still protecting herself and her mate. I was damn proud.
"Maybe the shifters? The Quileute's. I don't fucking care, but look at her." I turned back towards my mate after yelling at my father and tried to get her to calm down.
"Bella, Princess, come on, come back to me now. I'll keep you safe. I promise. No one is going to hurt you. You have to snap out of this, cause if you don't we can't go on a real date." I coaxed her.
I soothed her for almost an hour before she calmed down completely. When she came back to semi-normal she looked up at me and whispered two words, "No wolves." I nodded and carried her up to my room and we cuddled in my bed. Her shield was still strong around us. She looked peaceful though snuggled into my side, if she were human I would think she was sleeping.
I knew that she would have to sign for the treaty, but I just hoped the wolves would make an exception due to extenuating circumstances with her mother. As I laid there in the bed with my mate, I tried to come up with a scenario for the date I promised her. When I kept coming up blank I finally decided to ask Alice instead of getting help from Edward and she came barreling into my room and rambling her head off. I didn't understand a word, but I knew that I had made the right choice in asking her for help. I only hoped Bella would like whatever she planned and as long as she enjoyed it, I would too.
A/N: Holy Moly! I couldn't stop writing.
So Alice and James' story was adorable right?
Jasper's a crass bastard too, and I love it. Our pretty princess though may have a few things under her sleeve.
Forks and the Wolves next?
Song was: Just by Being You by Steel Magnolia listen to it, it's awesome.
Now I've given you guess hints as to where I got the title for this story, I'm hoping someone figures it out.
Well I'm off to finish some contest stuff and then do the last Chapter of Getting Back….wish me luck.
