AN: Still here and with me? That´s cool! Thanks a lot! I had a very difficult year sadly :( Had/have a health problem, what caused me to move from the city and the noises there to a quiet town near my hometown. Now I am feeling much better and can enjoy writing again! Sorry it took so long!

Disclaimer: Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer!

Warning: Nope! No spanking here but talking about it ...

Thanks: Of course my beta! And I wanted to thank all of you, who wrote me pms and asked about my health. That was so nice from you all! THANKS :)

And now! Have fun!

Chapter 6 Rise and Shine!

Edward's POV

The next morning was a Saturday. We all were home and Carlisle had his day off from work. I stood - because sitting was too painful - in our large kitchen, head bowed over the table where my sister Alice was seated. Now and thenI moved my right hand to my sore behind to soften the hard cotton of my dark denim jeans. It didn't work. She watched me carefully, tapping her slender fingers next to the expensive chess board to distract me from her thoughts. She badly wanted to win!

"What are you doing?" I asked and returned her big grin.

"Nothing." She shrugged her shoulders, took one of her white chess figures and moved it over the board.

"You know what I mean! You are distracting me, Alice." My eyes quickly followed her move and I focussed on her thoughts again to figure out what she was planning.

Esme stood on a small ladder, with her back to us, and cleaned the cupboards. I couldn't see her face, but saw her in my mind, and I knew she was grinning too.

"Sit down and play!" My sister retorted with an evil grin now and stopped tapping. She knew I was still hurting from my spanking last night. "That would distract you pretty good,I think."

"Alice-" Mum warned her and rubbed the wet cloth against the wood. She had been cleaning almost the whole morning now. I couldn't tell if she really liked doing it or not. She dipped the cloth in the bucket of water again and closed the cupboard - cleaning the outside now.

"Shut up, Alice!" I snarled at my pixie-haired sister.

A low, deep growl errupted from the living room next to us. I rolled my eyes at my father's silent rebuke. He hated such foul language in our house and normally we kids avoided it as best we could. But if we didn't or if there was a repeat of that incident, we earned ourselves a good taste of soap. I cannot count how often I had had a meeting like this with my father in the bathroom. Too often!

"He heard you." My sister snickered.

"Sorry, Dad!" I let my eyes playfully flashin anger. I then moved my figure over the board and kicked her bishop out of the game. Now I was grinning widely and placed my palms on the table top.

We heard movement in the living room and a second later, our father, dressed in jeans and a black sweater, entered the kitchen. He carried a doctor'smagazine with him and placed it on one of the counters. He grabbed his car keys and stopped next to me - watching the game for a moment.

"We have to go, Edward." He reminded me silently and played with the keys in his hand.

"Where?" I asked him confused.

"Perhaps to the Black's?" Carlisle answered and raised an eyebrow at me.

DidI ask a stupid question here?

"Oh ..." My shoulders sunk as I remembered my horrible behaviour towards Jacob yesterday. I promised Dad that I would apologize for pushing him over our banister, that I wanted to sunk my sharp fangs into his throat and this stuff, but I really didn't want to apologize. He had thought such awful things about Bella and I really wanted to beat the crap out of him right then. I felt my anger rise again. Focus, Edward! Don't lose it again, man ...

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Carlisle going to Esme. She leaned down, they kissed deeply, and they smiled at each other full of love. How badly I wanted to be with my Bella right now.

"This won't take long, honey," he told her in his caring voice. "We will be back in one hour, probably one and a half."

She winked at him and Dad went to the front door. He opened and shot me a look. "Coming now?"

"Yes." I straightened up and followed him out of the house and to the garage - not without saying goodbye to my mother and sister.

Once there my gaze fell on his Mercedes and the leather seats. I rolled my eyes. I was already in pain and I knew that this car ride wouldn't make it any easier for me. I did avoid sitting for the last twelve hours very good and now I had to sit on my sore behind during our trip to my special friend. My eyes narrowed as I thought about Jacob.

"Dad?" I nearly whined and he looked at me over the black, shiny hood of the car. "Can't I run, please?"

"No, Edward! And I think you know exactly why not." He answered without even thinking about it. He opened his door. "Get in please!"

I rolled my eyes and sighed. My butt was still hurting ...

For a second I thought about making another comment, but wisely kept my big mouth shut. I groaned softly and got in his car. As my sore and thumping behind made contact with the seats, I winced and grimaced. Hopefully he would drive a bit faster than usual.

As we arrived at Quileute reservation Carlisle turned off the road and stopped the Mercedes. I jumped out, slamming the door behind me - glad that I could ease the pain finally. Birds were flying above us from tree to tree and I could hear other animals wandering through the forest or hunting near us. I had to admit that I was a bit thirsty, too but now was not the time to feed. Perhaps later. I watched Carlisle walking at a human's pace into the wood. He pushed his car keys into his jeans pocket and observed the surrounding area.

I followed my father quickly and tried not to show my displeasure about this visit. Carefully we stepped through the thick bushes and over fallen trees. My sharp wits were noticing every small movement in the undergrowth. I stepped in line with Carlisle as we came nearer the borderline that parted our area and the reservation.

"Did you call Sam to inform him that we would be crossing the border?" I asked nervously and he stopped next to a big tree.

"Of course I did, Edward." He answered quietly - not looking at me, but the area in front of him. "Sam told methat someone of the pack would welcome and escort us to the house. But-"

He stopped suddenly and I heard it too. There was a low, rumbling noise in front of us. Something was hidden in the bushes, something with a distinct scent. We stayed still. The bushes parted and a very big wolf appeared. He watched us for a moment, then carefully walked forward. I noticed his dark grey fur color - it was Paul. His strong wolf odor was ... disgusting! I couldn't tell what was more awful - wolf odor or the smell of Mike vomiting in my bed. Uhrg ...

"Hey, Paul." I addressed the, no doubt hot tempered, member of the pack and raised my right hand in a welcoming gesture. The big wild animal stretched his muscular front legs, shoulders and neck and showed us his white and sharp teeth. I carefully listened to his thoughts and turned to my father, who was waiting patiently for me to translate the wolf's thoughts.

"He welcomes us, and told me that if we are looking for trouble, he is capable of attacking and injuring us pretty badly."

I listened again and grinned. "In one jump! ..."

The wolf watched me and crooked his head to one side in a very human gesture. He played with his ears.

"In one jump! ..." I repeated, laughed and looked at him questioningly. I grinned a bit in disbelief. "You really believe that Paul?"

Paul would not hestitate to attack me or Carlisle if we would cause any danger for the pack. And the big animal could jump both of us, if he liked to. I could already hear my bones cracking under the pressure of the solid wolf teeth. The wolf was showing off! His angry eyes stared into mine a moment longer and I could tell by the state of my father, that Carlisle was nervous about my safety now.

"Ok, I got you!" I said, tryingto calm the animal in front of me. I shot a glance to Dad. If I were alone now, I would probably provoke a fight, only to show Paul that I could handle him. But with my father standing right next to me, I dropped the idea in one second. A second date with his belt was not worth that test!

"We should not provoke him or the rest of the pack while we are with them!" I told Carlisle.

"My words." Dad raised an eyebrow at me, smiled and clapped my left shoulder. "Behave yourself, please. I don't want any trouble!"

"Sure." I shrugged my shoulders and told Paul to lead the way. The dark grey wolf sped off and we followed him atvampire speed into the deep forest.

AN: Do you like it? I know it´s not much :( To clarify things for you. I "found" this chapter on my computer and it was corrected, too :( The stress in the last months was so intense, that I forgot about it! Normally I wanted to write the whole thing here - with meeting with the Black`s and apology - but *sigh* I couldn´t ... I had no proper idea ... I started with the other Eclispe one-shot, of which I told you :) But it will take a while! My other stories are still there and I will update them as well :)

Thanks again,

love Vanessa
