A Summons and a Promise

Chapter Five

Rosalie's POV

Okay so how was that for a cliffhanger: My friend said that the story was slightly monotonous. I agreed and put in a cliffy. Lucky for all of you I do not plan on having cliffhangers very often. As a matter of fact, I probably won't have another one for quite a while. Okay I'm sorry that this one took so long, but, my great grandma died over the weekend and I was at my dad's house and it was just really bad and horrible. This chapter is about how Rosalie reacts to learning about her new ability. Enjoy!

"I CAN HAVE KIDS?!?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? OH MY GOD, EMMET, WE CAN HAVE KIDS!!!" I was yelling too loud for the other humans to know what I was saying, all they felt was an uncomfortable drilling sensation in their heads. Alee winced and said, "Rose, if you don't calm down then I won't tell you about it. Please, cool the fuck off. Okay?" Emmet looked like he had been hit by an atom bomb.

Suddenly I was worried. What if he doesn't want kids? 'Edward!' I thought loudly. He looked at me. 'Doesn't Emmet want kids? He looks like he knows I do, but he doesn't, but he's willing to go through it anyways.' Edward looked at Emmet and whispered to him for a minute. "Rose, don't you think that we should tell Carlisle?"

"Of course we should, Emmet, but don't you want to be a daddy?"

"Yes, but…"

"But, what?" I questioned.

"What if the baby doesn't like me? What should we call it? How do we take care of it? What if other kids don't like it? What will it be?"

I realized that the same questions had been racing through my mind as well. "I don't know Emmet. But I do know that we will love it and care for it as best as we possibly can." I comforted him and told him that all lunch long.

I thought about my new power for the rest of the day. Since I had been through high school at least thirty times, I didn't worry about not paying attention. When I got home I already knew that Emmet and I would be doing our homework… later. I can't believe that I get to have kids! I mean when I was changed, I thought that my chance had flown away, never to return. Now, I get this once in a lifetime chance! I'm so excited!

The rest of the day passed in this same cycle of thoughts until we home and Emmet and I were assured that Carlisle would be told of my new power and that no one would disturb us, we went to our room to do work of a different and more enjoyable sort (ANAB1)

Alee's POV

Well, so much for explaining the new power to Rose. I looked at Jasper and asked him, "When does Carlisle get home?"

"Around 9:30, why?"

"Well, we still have to explain my power to him and Esme and now we also have to let them know about the new little one soon to be on the way."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Will you tell me more about the process of … finalizing… your powers?"

"Yeah sure. I will be pissy and then happy for the next two weeks, kinda like mood swings. At the end of it all I will get a tattoo that will represent the power as best as possible. When I use the power, the tattoo will glow faintly. That's why I don't use my powers in public very often."

"How do you know that you will end up with a tattoo?"

I pulled down the top of my shirt to where my heart is. "See the little person? Watch him. If you pay attention them every so often he will change. He is from my first power." Jasper gulped. "What was your first power?"

"When I first got it I was terrified, I had no clue what was wrong with me and no one would believe me. I ended up getting at least five abilities before I got some gloves and stopped touching people. The first was from a cat. When I first saw her, she was a tabby. She was beautiful and she wore a diamond collar. The next day, I saw another cat with the same collar, but, this one was all black. Every day for a week, I saw different cats all wearing the same collar. When the cat finally got close enough to touch me, she climbed up my leg, on top of my pants. She never touched my skin. It's like she knew about my power before I did. She climbed up to my chest and she stared at me for a minute before she touched her paw to her head and then to my heart. When she did that I was too busy freaking out from the pain and weirdness of it to notice that she climbed to my back and touched my neck. After that, she ran away and I never saw her again." When I had told him about the second power that the cat from so long ago had given me, I had turned and showed him my neck. It had little cat paw prints on it, right in the very middle. "The next thing that I remembered was that I was surrounded by cats. There had to be at least 20 of them. From that moment on, one of those cats was always with me. It was like they were stalking me, but in a good way. I loved them so much. I protected them and whenever they were with me, I was stronger, faster, calmer, and happier. At first kids made fun of me because of the cats. The next day they always had scratches on their faces and hands. I told the cats to stop hurting them, I mean it's not like they deserved it, they were just scared and freaked out by all of it. Secretly, though, deep down inside, I was happy that the cats loved me enough to protect me that much that often."

Jasper stared at me for a long minute. "What abilities do you have now?" I ginned. "Wanna see?"

"Sure."

I closed my eyes. Reflect my aura in normal cat colors with the cute skull collar that Gaby and Jazmine got me after I showed them. I opened my eyes and purred. I gave the shocked Jasper a cattish grin. 'Don't you just love being a quadruped?' He jumped at the sudden invasion to his thoughts. "What the hell?!" 'Don't worry, this is how I communicate when I'm a cat.' "Wow Alee, this is amazing."

'I know.'

"Do you mind if I show the others?"

'Not really'

"Edward, Bella, stop making out and come here!"

'Were they really making out?'

"Yes, I could feel Edward's lust and Bella's joy and content"

'That must really get annoying, huh?'

"I've learned to deal with it."

Edward and Bella came walking down the stairs then. "Jasper, you were serious?! I thought you were kidding when you thought that Alee was a cat!"

"That's Alee?!?!" Bella exclaimed. 'Yes, it's me. Am I a cute cat or what?' I purred and walked over to Bella. She looked at me curiously "Alee do you want to be picked up?" I could tell that she was half kidding when she asked, but I nodded my kitty head. "Are you sure? Won't I give you a power, or something?"

'No, I'm a cat, do you see any skin on me right now?'

"Oh, right." She bent over and picked my up, unconsciously cuddling my head to hers. "Wow, Alee, your fur is so soft." I twitched my tail and thought 'Thank you, Bella. Will you please put me down in front of Rose and Emmet's room? I want to play a little prank on them.' She grinned, "Sure, can we all watch, too?" I mulled it over. 'Sure, just make sure that you are all very quiet, okay?' They all grinned now, "Definitely." Bella handed me to Jasper and said you carry her okay?"

"Uhh, okay, I guess." Jasper looked at me as if to check if it was okay. 'Put me on your head okay?' He carefully lifted me to his head after giving me an odd look. I stretched out on his head and yawned. After stretching, I sat on his head and watched everyone walk up the stairs. When we reached the door to their room jasper bent down and let me climb off of his head. 'Okay now open the door, very quietly and stay quiet.' Edward opened the door and I walked in. I looked at the bed where Rose was making out with Emmet. I stealth-walked over to the bed and hopped on. "Merow." Rose froze. (ANAB2)Emmet looked at me as if he had no clue what a cat was.

"Maybe it's looking for Alee." He whispered. "Alee!" Rose yelled. "One of your furry stalkers is in our room."

'Oh sorry, let me go get it. What does it look like?' Rose studied me for a second then said, "Well, it's hard to describe. The colors keep changing. But it has a collar on." Rose leaned closer towards me and looked closer at the collar. 'That would be a skull Rose, now could you please scratch behind my ear?' She was stunned. "Alee, you're the cat?" She asked dumbly. I changed back into a human, hopping off the bed to land covering myself on the floor. "Why yes I am. Wasn't I cute?" Emmet did a double take. "Alee!?!? What the fuck are you doing naked in our room?!?!"

"Rose, can you please hand me a blanket or robe or something?" She threw me the sheet that was on the bed. "Emmet, to answer your previous question, I was the cat that was on the bed."

"Please tell me that you can change into big cats too!!" He closed his eyes like he was praying. I grinned and turned into a white Bengalese tiger. I grinned toothily at Rose. 'If I were you, I would get out of the way Rose.' She quickly got off of the bed grinning. I crouched down and sprang towards Emmet, landing square on his chest. "Oomph!" 'Answer your question?' "Sweet!" he managed to huff out. "I have my own tiger now!"

'Who the fuck said that I was your tiger, Emmet?' Now he was nervous. "No one it's just that I thought that maybe I could take you on walks and stuff." I looked at him incredulously. 'You want to walk a tiger?'

"Well, yeah, I do, a lot, actually." I laughed. 'Okay, I suppose that Emmet just got a trained tiger to take on leisurely walks around town.' Everyone laughed. Emmet smiled again and said, "I can't wait to show Carlisle my new pet!"

'Okay, let's get something straight here, buddy. I am a human being. That means that you can't "own" me. We have a partnership in which we exercise together.' He nodded seriously. Edward turned his head towards the door, "Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear" He murmured. "Come on, Carlisle just got. Alee, do you want to stay a tiger?" Jasper asked.

'Yeah, I don't get to be a tiger very often and I want to really test drive it,' everyone smiled. 'Hey, I have an idea! Let me go down the stairs first and then scare the holy shit out of them alright?' Emmet smiled wider. "Yeah! That sounds awesome!"

I walked in front of everyone towards the stairs. As I walked down I thought to myself, how often do I get to be a tiger with people who are completely accepting and just want to show me off? I mean everyone at home thought that it was weird! I love it here. I never want to go home. We reached the end of the stairs. I shuffled my feet, careful not to hurt the carpet, "Ruhr" (ANAB3) Carlisle and Esme froze and looked towards the stairs. I watched them for their reactions. "Kids," Carlisle started warily, "do I really want to know why there is a white tiger in the living room?" I heard Emmet and Rose snicker. "Well, I suppose that you should ask the tiger that question dad." Emmet managed to choke out. Still wary, Carlisle came closer to me. I stepped towards him and butted his hand with my head. Carlisle chuckled. "I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this not normally a tiger?"

'Good guess, Carlisle. It's me Alee.' I changed back to my human form and wrapped myself in the sheet that rose had brought down stairs with her. Carlisle gawked at me for a minute before saying, "Alee, you were a tiger?"

"Yes. But, not just a tiger. I can be anything that falls under the feline area. Emmet has decided that I am going to be 'his' tiger." Carlisle seemed to be a little shocked. I eyed him for a second before turning to Esme. "Esme, do you have anything that I can eat? I am getting kinda hungry." Esme thought for a minute before saying, "No dear, I'm afraid not. We don't normally have so many humans around the house." Bella blushed and offered to take me to her house, feed me, and let me stay the night since I wouldn't have a way to get home since she was the one that ate most of the food. I smiled. "Can I Esme, please?"

She looked at me and sighed, "Go get your things." I ran over to her and hugged her, "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!!!"

"You would think that we were eating you alive the way you're so eager!" She laughed "Go get your things before Bella leaves without you." I ran up the stairs and grabbed PJs and clothes for school. On the way down the out the door, I stopped and ran back to Jasper. "Promise that you won't mope. Promise that all night you will play games or hunt." I demanded. Startled, he said, "I promise." I glared at him so that it would sink in that I really meant it. "Good." I hugged him and walked out the door towards the Volvo. As soon as I got in Edward sped off to Bella's house. I sat back and sunk into my thoughts. I hope that Jasper keeps his promise. I mean, Pete's sake, it's not like he needs to be any more depressed. I feel so bad for him. After all, the worst that's happened to me is Ron, Grandpa Victor, Mary, Barty, and Great Grandpa & Grandma dying. (ANAB4) He has had to watch everyone that he ever knew grow old and die while he stayed young and beautiful for the rest of his existence. I really just wish that he never has to worry about anything like that ever again.

"Alee, we're here." I looked out the window as I was grabbing my stuff. Bella's house looked exactly like I thought it would. But the best part was the wonderful woods right next to it. I smiled and stepped out of the car. Bella was already inside telling Charlie about me staying for the night. He smiled at me from the couch, where he had been watching the game. He stood and held out his hand for me to shake. I took it after remembering that I had put my gloves back on before we left. I smiled shyly. He looked me over taking in my unusual appearance.

"Uh, so, Alee, do you normally wear, uh, sheets?" I turned a brilliant red when I realized that I hadn't changed back into my clothes. Bella interceded on my behalf. "No, dad, of course not. It's just that I was showing her how to make a toga out of a sheet and she just forgot to take hers off before we left." I shot her a grateful glance. "Oh." he seemed relieved, "Wait, since when do you know how to make a toga out of a sheet?" Now he was suspicious. Jeez, couldn't this guy just pick an emotion and stick with for more than five seconds?! "Since she had an assignment where she had to act like a Roman in sixth grade." (ANAB5) "Oh, well that's okay."

I discretely shook my head and walked in to the kitchen. Bella turned to me from Edward. "Nice save, back there." I nodded. She turned back to watch Edward cook.

When everyone was finished eating, Bella asked me if I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor in her room. "No, I don't mind. At my last home, I had to sleep on the floor because they didn't have enough beds." She seemed slightly put off by my answer but she led me upstairs to show me where to put my things and to make my bed. After I finished my homework, I looked to see if Bella and Edward had decided to stop making out and actually do their homework. They hadn't. I sighed and headed outside to go in the woods-forest-thingy.

(ANAB1) in case anyone didn't get that, that means they went to their room to start on their family, a.k.a. make babies.

(ANAB2) Oooh, I rhymed!

(ANAB3) Ruhr is kinda like a quiet roar, in my world.

(ANAB4) Yes, those are all people that I knew who died.

(ANAB5) I actually had an assignment like that in sixth grade for our ancient civilization repots. We had to dress up like someone from our ancient civilization and act out a day of their life for an oral report. I was an Indian (India Indian, not Native American Indian) girl on her wedding day.

Right, so, today I was picked on and I ended up crying. I still feel bad and I would really really really apperciate some reviews to make me feel better. Thank you!
