Chapter 4 BPOV
"Aw shit" Edward muttered. It was the first time I'd heard Edward curse. It was sort of a shock. He had just cursed at some random woman. Well Edward appeared to know her, as did Esme, Carlisle and Rosalie but Emmett had apparently just met her because he was busy giving her the once over or the twice over.
"Edward I'll have no cursing in my home" Esme scolded.
She only got a murmured apology because Edward was staring at the girl who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and a foot on the wall. She appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen. Black hair hung past her pale shoulders made only paler by the amount of black material that covered her tall, boyish frame. She had huge eyes that were rimmed with eyelashes that would never need mascara but were lined with a lot of eyeliner and a perfect angular face. I saw to my relief that they were the same topaz shade of Edwards's eyes. Then I realized with a bout of annoyance that no one had bothered to introduce me. But Edward managed to regain his train of thought.
"Uh, Bella this is Luna. Luna, Bella. Bella, Luna." Edward said and I stuck a hand out to Luna ready to shake her hand. She ignored me and I dropped my hand back to my side.
"So what brings you here Luna?" Edward asked.
"Not family stuff if that's what you're thinking. I'm not here permanently. Or temporarily. I'm here because we need help." She replied starting to walk round the room and investigate Esme's various ornaments.
"I'm sorry but "we"?" Carlisle asked.
She turned back to face us "I'm here because of the various, well, I can't really call it murder, but whatever, murders will have to do, so yeah, I'm here because a lot of vampires have been murdered recently. Sooo," she continued. "we need some serious help. We know who is doing it, but we need to recruit, as it were, some friendly and willing vampires, like your, to, uh, join the fight. We can give you guys all the proper protection you need. Before you ask why the Volturi aren't involved is that, quite frankly, we don't want them getting involved because lets face it they'll just go barging in and kill all of us. So are you interested?" she finished setting down one of Esme's ornaments with a small thud.
Carlisle took a moment to consider it "Can it wait until Bella here is changed?" before Luna had a chance to open her mouth Esme edged her opinion in.
"Perhaps we should wait for Alice and Jasper get back from the hunt"
Luna raised an eyebrow "There are more new addition apart from this pillock" she inclined her head towards Emmett "and the human?"
"Yes" Rosalie stated a cold edge to her voice.
We waited for ten minutes in the house all sitting in various places around the room. The only person who didn't sit was Luna who decided to lean against the doorframe. I was sitting on Edwards lap while he hugged me or kissed the top of my head every once in a while. Normally I would have been quite happy sitting with Edward but I couldn't ignore the Luna who was glaring at me and Rosalie was glaring at her.
Eventually Alice and Jasper arrived laughing. They seemed quite happy until they caught a glimpse of Luna in the doorway. The two threw us curious expressions. And then Luna started to explain.
"So, are you guys willing to join? Well once this one is changed of course," she asked again.
"I suppose we could. But on one condition" Edward said
"Go ahead Eddie-kins" Luna said.
"Stop calling me that!" Edward hissed "You get protection for Bella."
"Fine" Luna said "but you should know that you are not, I repeat not, getting it from me"
"Fine by me." Edward murmured.
Then Luna's phone went off and she quickly answered. After a very quick conversation she hung up turned back to Edward and said "Yeah, your protection is sorted but, er, it's well, me."
Oh great three and a bit weeks of a woman who quite clearly hated me.
