Chapter 5- how can I confide in
Anyone when the killer is someone who I love…
Long chappy!!
I toke a deep breath, not that I needed it, and tried to figure out how I was going to tell them.
That's your recap…. Because I've been lazy…
I had my head bent down trying to work out how to tell Jake, and the rest of the gang that I was now his enemy, the reason for his existence. Felling Jakes eyes boring on to me. I looked up, and into curious eyes. There was anger, resentment, and the most potent was pure love, that was hidden behind his curiosity; I heard every heart in the room speed up in anxiety, it was breaking my weird sense of control.
He still loved me, even though he was naturally meant to tear me to shreds, and to my amazement I felt my cheeks go all warm.
"How?" Jake asked obviously just as surprised as I was. You know, not being able to do such human things anymore.
"Jake, and to the rest of the pack" I toke a deep breathe, their full attention was now on me, now that I'd addressed them all. "As you all know, I've never been normal, Christ sake, (sorry if that offends any readers, no offense intended) I don't even feed" everyone in the room visibly flinched at my choice of vocabulary on the delicate subject, but I continued as if I hadn't noticed "like normal vampires, I'm not even a veggy either-" I added the fact I wasn't even a veggy as Paul snarled. It scared me, these creatures were meant to want to kill me, and Jacob had cut me off, by huffing. I looked at him, as I could feel his eyes waiting impatient as always
"Bella, you don't have to explain"
My gaze turned to bewilderment "Bella…" his voice faded, it was filled with pain, it cut me deep, but I toke this as an opportunity "Jake, I think I owe you an explanation, in fact, I owe everyone involved in the pack an explanation" there was a lot of people shaking their heads, a couple nodded their heads, I held up my hand to Jacob, my scared one, he growled, I placed my index finger on his lips
"Understandably I can only tell you certain things, you know, like you can only say certain details about running on four legs as a russet coloured wolf" Sam nodded, even though my explanation was towards Jake, he still understood, and put himself in my shoes, and got the idea. Jake was laughing so I had to stop, but I smiled at him, he toke in the silence, and calmed down.
"Well, anyway this is one of those things" Jakes sudden emotion change has never seized to fascinate me, as he leaves me one step behind. His adorable laughing face was now the same mask Sam Uley always wore.
They all listened closely, patiently, and they all nodded in synchronization when I couldn't say certain things. When I was finished, Sam nodded at me and whispered
"Thank you for allowing us to understand, some things have gone on whilst you weren't here, for example, I am no longer alpha, I am a 'beta' as you described to Jake. I think you'll find that your husband is now the head of the werewolves. The new and much improved alpha of the pack!" he smiled at me, of course I didn't miss the little shake of his head towards Jacob, his face had turned solemn. Just before the first wolf made it to the door I quickly said loud enough for Jared who was holding the doorknob as I spoke
"I'm not exactly sure who bit me, and I'd prefer if you didn't make any assumptions, that is the reason why I didn't say it before"
I heard them stamp their feet, just to let me know that they'd heard me ok. Then the front door opened, and they all trudged out.
I heard Kim saying to Jared "I really like Bella, I respect her so much, she probably thinks I'm crazy, and I know this is gonna sound like I want a pet or something, but Jared, do you think we'll be able to keep her? From losing it, did you see her eyes, they were blue, they reminded me of the ocean, that calmed a lot, and I am so, going to see what happens to contacts, and hair dye…" her voice trailed off, then I felt the warmth of her skin as Jared answered "Kim, as much as I love you, you really are a right do-do, Bella can hear us, cant ya bells?"
"What was that Jared?" I joked. I put a false smile on, until they were all gone, and it was just Jake and I.
"Bella, I love you, more than anything, actually I'm lying, I love you and our children the most." He let his head drop.
"You're going to tell me to get lost aren't you, well I'll save you, I'm packed anyway, I'm taking the children, I'll be at Charlie's," I paused, then said, all anger had subsided for a while, I looked at him, he lifted his head up, and I whispered to him "I love you, no pressure, I love you so, so much Jake, in fact, I love you much more than should be aloud."
"Bella, the wolves… well we all noticed your self control, we all noticed your eyes are a different colour, and we all noticed your hurt at being away from your family. You my darling are not going anywhere that I'm not. Charlie's house is bigger, and the play area would be great for my family" I snarled playfully, and then I jumped on him. Making sure he was pinned to the sofa, and had no way out. Jake rolled his eyes "would be great for our family ma'am"
I rolled off of him, and ran upstairs, the kids were soundo on the sofa, and so I picked them up, and placed them extremely carefully into their now joint cot. I got out another two suitcases. I went through Jakes wardrobe, and found that nothing was suitable.
I remembered about that charity that was looking for clothes, and chucked everything in loads of bags. Jake must have noticed, but by the time he had gotten up the stairs, which was like half a second, it was already done.
"Hey Jake, I'll be right back, I promise" I smiled him, dazzling him by looking right into his eyes. Like Edward used to do me.
"Do you want some help bells?"
"I'm a big girl now, I can take it down the stairs thank you though Jakey"
"Uh- huh, I'll go check on the children"
"Maybe, you could also try to cook us dinner?"
"But you-"
"Yes I am different, Jake, I'll take that as a compliment"
He walked away, round the corner, I ran down the stairs with my load. His wardrobe, I must say this is the most evil thing I've ever done to Jake. I decided that I should take all of his stuff to the actual shop, he shouted from upstairs, well to me it was shouting "Bells, I'm gonna have a shower, I'll expect to see all my clothes back in my wardrobe, along with my shoes, love you"
"Grrrrrrr"
I heard him laugh upstairs. I jumped into my Chevy, it roared to life, and I picked the bags up and throw them on the seat. I sped towards the shop, once there; I dumped it all on them. They looked shocked.
"I had a clear out, you know make room for the kids"
They nodded in astonishment.
I then jumped into my car heading for a mall. I found one quick enough. I had sort of nicked Edwards's credit card…
I bought Jake a whole new wardrobe, and a few bits for the kids. I then toke my car towards the police station. Dumped the car, and ran home with the goods.
Jacob was just opening the door of the bathroom "I thought I wasn't going to have my clothes" he muttered,
"Stay" I ordered, he then went down and became four legged, not as a wolf, but he was on hands and knees, I rolled my eyes.
I then ran into our room, and re-filled the wardrobe. It looked better designer suited Jake.
I then called him in, and ran out of the room, human pace, to the children's, they were awake, and as watched as I hung up all the outfits.
I peeped into our bedroom. Jake looked at me, his mouth formed the word "money" but it was soundless.
"Jake, I'm going to the police station, however, you need to know a few things first"
He nodded.
"Firstly, I met Edward on my trip, and nicked his credit card" he laughed, quietly, shaking the bed
"Secondly, the Cullen's are back, and thirdly, the reason why I'm going to the police station is because-"
"You have a gift, use it Bella, now get lost before I get mad at you" he was teasing me now.
"Love you Jake"
"Sure, sure, you too honey"
I ran to the police station, Ben was looking concerned.
"Oh My God SHE'S BACK" he was a little excited to see me.
"Bells, you look like a Cullen" everyone new about everything, and there was a suspicion that this was no human doing the crime.
"I'm going to get right to it, it shouldn't take as long, I'm sure you all now no, I'm a vampire, but as always, I'm the freak out of their kind"
They all smiled, it wasn't until I realized that I recognized the booming laugh.
"Emmet?"
"Hello, did you have a nice time with my little brothers credit card?"
"I had a great time, I'm trying to find a killer at the moment, here the card, now bugger off"
Emmet caught it, and watched as I made myself into a stone, I felt myself go whiter, and something was passed into my hands, I rubbed it, and heard his voice again, this really cant be right.
I should have known I should have been more alert. Of course, Bella is not as rich as us, she obviously needs money for her family, why not ask?
Seriously, I didn't think she'd have it in her to steal my credit card. Rose is laughing. Great. I hope Emmet wont be long, and that he wont be too harsh on her, and I wonder where Julia is… every time she comes back, she'll hand me cloth, make me touch it. Then when I go to give it back, she wear's rubber gloves. Someone else is in my mind… Jasper? Alice? Alice! Hang on; Alice is having a vision right now. Emmet's too dumb I had to laugh Rosalie would think it petty, and my parents wouldn't even consider it. Whose laugh was that?
I pulled away, and saw Emmet right in front of me the only thing I could say was
"Julia"
"What about her?"
"Latest addition? Used to feed off humans? She is cheating."
"How?"
"She's hunting now I presume?"
"Yes?"
"when she brings back cloth for Edward to touch it, touch it on purpose, please, and don't give it back. Wait till she is wearing rubber gloves, or wear rubber gloves, snatch the fabric off of her, and run down here. I am Jacob Black's wife. He will be informed, about you don't worry"
Emmet just nodded. He shrugged. "Thought, obviously stupidly that you might want to come see us. Alice was convinced, so was Jasper, he could still feel you from Alaska Bella. I really wanted to see you, I wasn't going to wait like the others."
"Rosalie?"
"She is actually looking forward to see you"
"Good. I'm not going, I have children to look after." I then ignored Emmet completely, and turned towards the waiting Ben "Officer" I addressed him "I want you to have this check out, and see if you can see two sets of finger prints, please"
"Will do Bells"
"Thanks Ben, I will get her back, don't worry" he nodded.
Great, more faith in me, more harm when I turned out to be wrong.
I turned on my heels, and was running home. I burst through the front door, no one home. I ran towards the kitchen, and I found a note
Sorry, I really cant cook, Emmet dropped by, didn't see the kids, well I'm off to Emily's we made a bargain, I talk, she'll cook
Love you, and please see the Cullen's. Seth is waiting for you.
I leave my heart with you Bella.
As you leave yours, with me.
JakeY
I groaned. It looks like I really was going to the Cullen's.
I darted to the boarder line, screeched, and got a howl and four feet running towards me. Seth licked my face over and over.
"Seth" I said laughing, and then it became an order "Seth!" he jumped off of me. Obviously scared.
We ran to the house, I told Seth to knock on the door; of course I had only decided seconds before that I wasn't going through the front door… I climbed up silently to the top of the house, and made it silently into Alice's wardrobe. I heard Seth saying, "Yeah, she couldn't make it, child minding, the usual"
I changed quickly, tidying everything away, then I heard Alice saying
"Why the little Bitch!"
I heard her running, and I chucked myself out of the window, and ran to the front door, ringing the bell, Edward was laughing, he opened the door, and stared at me.
"So, I should get this over with, then, you know make it easier. I'm your nomad, living a permanent residence at or should I say in LA push. I am married, I have twins, and you are all welcome to LA push, but plwease some warning would be grateful. I looked at Emmet, he winked, I don't think anyone noticed.
Julia ran through the door then. Emmet ran to the kitchen, grabbing a pair of rubber gloves, he came out and chuck a pair at me, and he tackled Julia, it was all so fast, but I reached down and toke the material that only she had touched. Edward looked at me confused, and I nodded at Emmet, Edwards face became a mask.
"I actually have left with what I came for, that's lovely. See you all soon, Alice, if you want this back, I'll chuck it and get you a new one."
"How?"
I pulled out a red credit card, Edward looked shocked. "I promise I wont spend as much as I did on Edwards, this takes a lot of self control Jasper. It really is very hard"
Jasper laughed. I turned on my heel, Jasper then realized I wasn't mucking around, he ran after me, but I had a head start.
"I promise," I yelled behind me.
My tracker stopped, he knew I would give it back to him when I was ready.
I went out and got a few things for the babies, and three new dresses for Alice, and a pair of silky shoes for Jasper. I ran home, dumped the kids stuff. I had measured them, they hadn't noticed.
I ran to the police station, grabbed an evidence bag, and stuffed the material into it. I put it in a pile to go to a place where they tested it.
I roe the rubber gloved off, wrote a note, and ran to the Cullen's house, straight up the wall, Jasper chuckled as he saw me with my shopping bags.
"I got my babies some clothes, for preparation, Alice three dresses, and you some shoes, I looked down at his feet.
"It'll save you from Alice"
"Thanks Bella"
"Anytime, I'll see you round, literally, round my house"
"Wait"
"What?"
"Where is your house?"
"Oh, I'm moving with Jake into Dad's old place."
"Oh"
"See you round Jasper"
"Yeah you too Bella"
I ran round the back of the house where rose's and Emmet's room as, and snuck in, I wrote a note, and toke Emmet's card. I darted out. Running across the field, the wind in my hair. Life was prefect right now…
Please review…
