Thank you for the interest in my story so far!
And I'm glad so many of you enjoyed Paul peeing on Edwards arm. I wasn't sure how people would react to that one.
I hate to admit it but the humor goes to my sister. I'm honestly not a very funny person. Well I am but not funny enough to come up with something that might make you guys laugh. She also edited this chapter a bit. When she does that it tends to turn from drama into comedy. xD
ShadowCub - Not everyone hates Edward and always want's him dead. My sister on the other hand has plans for him that literally make me cringe so if you read Distorted Shadows I'm sure you will be quite happy with the way that plays out.
Apathicus - Charlie may have noticed them but he has never been one to pry. Not if he didn't think it was important. He most likely just thinks she got colored contacts. He'll find out sooner or later though.
Guest - Alice went with Jasper because he had said they were going somewhere with very few humans. That way she wouldn't accidentally slip up again. She didn't forgive him but because of his ability he made her think that she does. Even though she just phased Sam put her to work with supervision because vampires never sleep. They always need someone to patrol and it's best to learn right away. She has been home and she will always be allowed to go to her own home. The treaty does apply to her somewhat because she is part of the La Push pack. Because she was always friendly with the Cullen's however they may allow her onto their lands once she imprints.
If you think I own Twilight you are wrong. Alice and Bella are not making sweet love in a heart shaped water bed covered in rose petals, so therefor I didn't create them myself.
Summary - Bella anticipates Alice's arrival. What happens when she finally does arrive and she's worse then Bella imagined? Does it help matters when an imprint happens? Will Bella be willing to bypass what Jasper did to Alice?
"Wake up bud, it's almost time to go." Charlies voice rang through my door as his fist gently knocked. Not even two seconds later my alarm clock went off. The sudden sound make me jump just enough to fall off the side of my bed with a loud thud. The door to my room flew open and a wide eyed Charlie stood their taking in the scene before him. I half sat on the floor with one of my legs sprawled out in front of me, the other stuck in the blankets that were still bunched up on my bed. My hair was in my face and with every breath I took it blew a few strands outward. I glared at him, daring him to laugh. He looked away from me but I could see the small smirk that had formed. His shoulders started to heave before his laughter rang out throughout my room. I rolled my eyes.
"Don't worry dad, I'm fine. No need to be concerned." I muttered. He stopped laughing and tried to put on a straight face. He was to speak but instead let lose a snort of laughter. "I'm glad I amuse you." I said as I finally untangled myself from the blankets. He just nodded as he continued to laugh. He pointed at me and laughed harder then ever. I looked down, assuming I had something on my shirt. There was nothing there but I felt the tag rub against my neck. I brought my hand up to my neckline and felt for the tag, blushing furiously when I realized my shirt was on backwards. "How did that even happen?" I cried out loud which made my father laugh harder if that was even possible. His face was red like a tomato and he had tears streaming down his face. "Wow, if this keeps up I should become a comedian." I grumbled, pushing myself to my feet finally. I took a step forward not realizing that although I had managed to untangle my legs from the blankets one of my feet had managed to stay tangled enough to make me stumble forward, sending me on a one way trip to the ground.
"Oh god!" Charlie gasped, clutching his stomach. "Stop!" He began gasping for air. "I cant...breath!" His breaths were ragged and with all his laughter I was starting to think the blood supply to his brain was being compromised.
"Yes, because I'm doing this to entertain you." I mumbled under my breath. You would think as some awesome shape shifter I would be at least a little more grateful, but of course not. I guess my clumsiness wasn't something that was going to go away over night. Again I stood up and ushered him out of my room so I could get ready to go. I grabbed my underwear and a pink bra that had once been white. I just had to go and mix the laundry. I sighed and glared at the ugly pink colored clothing. There was nothing I could do about it now. Then I grabbed a black halter top and tight blue skinny jeans. Although I still wasn't wonderful with fashion, I was much better then I used to be. My guess was that it was to impress Jacob. That was at first anyways. I once thought I might have a crush on him. This was before he became a hot headed wolf shifter though. Then he just became an ass. That is until yesterday when I finally found out his secret. I just hoped he wasn't going to try and impress me again like he used to. Shaking my head I headed into the bathroom to brush my teeth and take a shower. I knew I had to hurry because my dad was waiting for me downstairs. Then again after his little meltdown this morning maybe making him wait wouldn't be such a bad thing. I figured it was best not to press my luck though. I turned the nobs to the shower and waited for the water to warm up. Sometimes I swear my shower only had two settings. Arctic ice cold and Holy crap my skin is going to melt hot. Finally when it was decent enough I stepped into it and let the water cascade over me. I grabbed my usual liquid soap and squirted it into my hand before lathering it over my body. I tried to picture how today would turn out. Would I be happy when I saw Alice or would all the anger come rushing back to me? What about Jasper? He had hurt her in the worst way possible. He played with her emotions and made her believe that they were meant to be together. Then, if Rosalie was right, he used his gift to convince her to go with him. I wanted to kill the bastard. I didn't know who his mate was but I was probably going to hate her. No one could just replace Alice. No one! How dare he play with her emotions like she was just some kind of toy. Oh that asshole was sure asking for it. I should rip him to shreds! Take his body parts and bury them in various parts of the yard and then call upon good old Paul to relieve himself on them. Maybe this time I would have him do it before the parts were buried. I chuckled at my own thoughts. Paul was right, I sounded more like a house pet then anything. Once I had washed my body off I grabbed my strawberry scented shampoo and massaged my scalp with it. I moaned from the feeling and closed my eyes to keep any shampoo from dripping into them. It wasn't long after that I found myself turning the water off and stepping out of the shower, wrapping my hair up in a towel and drying my body with a separate one before wrapping it around myself and heading back to my room. When I got there I could suddenly smell the disgusting stench of vampire. No one had been in my room because the window was still locked but one must have been around. I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and saw a branch on the tree in front of my window quiver from weight. Because of the leaves I couldn't see who was there but I had a feeling that Edward was watching me. I raised my lip in disgust. The idiot seemed to have become a peeping tom while he was away. I quickly closed the blinds to my window before letting the towel drop so I could change into the clothes I had placed on my bed. "Stupid peeping vampire." I muttered as I pulled on my clothes. I heart my dad shout something from downstairs. I huffed with annoyance. "I'll be right down!" I shouted back and quickly grabbed my jacket. I wasn't the least bit cold though. In fact I had never been so warm in my life but for some reason it felt good. Nevertheless I grabbed my jacket for show. I didn't want Charlie bugging me about catching a cold or something. I bolted out of my room and down the stairs when I heard two voices chatting back and forth downstairs. It couldn't be Edward could it? When I got down there I was relieved to see Rosalie waiting for me. My father, although trying his best not to, was shamelessly staring at her.
"Hello Bella." She said sweetly and looked back at my father. He looked between us then sighed.
"I'll wait in the truck then. Don't take to long Bells." He walked through the open front door and then closed it behind him. Rosalie opened her mouth to speak but I cut her off.
"He was here wasn't he. In the tree, watching me?" She nodded sadly.
"I was also watching but for different reasons. I wanted to make sure he didn't try anything. When he headed towards your window Emmett grabbed onto him and dragged him away." I was grateful for her and Emmett watching out for me. That is until her words sank in.
"You were watching? Please tell me you didn't see the little episode I had this morning." I was silently begging her with my eyes and she noticed.
"I didn't see a thing." She said sweetly and placed a shit eating grin on her face.
"Why don't I believe you?" I mumbled, shifting my weight from one foot to the next.
"You my dear Bella have trust issues. You should get some help for that." I rolled my eyes and stepped past her towards the door. "Alice and Jasper should be arriving at the treaty line around three. They will be in the same place we were yesterday. I nodded slowly, my heartbeat speeding up slightly.
"What about his mate?" I spat out the last word like it was some kind of disease. She chuckled at my hostility towards the new vampire.
"I don't know anything about her. I don't even know her name." She didn't seem happy about this and I didn't blame her. A new vampire would soon be intruding in her life and she wasn't exactly the best with new arrivals. I had learned that first hand.
"Well if you bring your normal ice queen attitude out you just might be able to scare her away." Rosalie's eyes widened and she stared at me open mouthed.
"I cant believe you just said that." She said as she started laughing. "You called me an ice queen to my face. No one has ever done that before." When I realized she wasn't angry at me I just laughed and brushed her comment aside.
"Once you've been around Jacob for a while his ability to just speak his mind kind of rubs off on you." Rose just raised an eyebrow.
"Clearly." I was about to respond when the blaring of a horn came from outside.
"Hurry up Bell's, I'm hungry." We both laughed but I noticed that I was also hungry. More like starving. I felt like I hadn't eaten for weeks. Rose just put her hand on my back and guided me outside. She must have heard my stomach lightly rumbling.
"Go on, it's time to feed the beast." Once outside I all but ran to the truck. Rosalie got into the beautiful mustang convertible that was sitting in front of the house and sped off. Charlie gaped at her as she disappeared around the corner.
"She does realize that the chief of police is right here doesn't she?" He asked, amazed that she had sped off without so much as a second thought. I half expected him to get out of the truck and into his cruiser and chase her down. Instead he got a dreamy look in his eyes and I shuddered. That was two friends that my father seemed to have crushes on. It must be a vampire thing. He backed out of the driveway and headed in the opposite direction, towards La Push. I don't know why but I felt giddy as we headed in that direction. Like I was headed home. I guess my wolf missed being around her pack. When we pulled up to Jacob's house the smell of breakfast wafted towards us. Jacob greeted us with a big grin on his face.
"I hope your hungry. A growing wolf girl will need lots of food to keep up her strength." He said quietly enough so Charlie didn't hear him. I nodded vigorously and pushed past him so I could get to the food that was spread out across the table. My eyes lit up like a child on christmas morning. There was eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles and more. We all sat down around the table. Billy and my father slowly filled their plates with food while Jacob and I pretty much just shoveled food into our mouth's. Because I was eating so fast I couldn't stop the loud belch that had been building up. The whole table went quiet and stared at me making my face heat up with a blush.
"Make's a father proud." Charlie finally said and the table erupted in laughter.
"She could give me a run for my money." Billy replied, clapping his hands in delight.
"Ugh, men." I muttered. They all looked at me with matching grins.
"Hey, you started it Bells." Jacob finally said as he continued to pig out on the food in front of him. Sadly he was right. I really had started it. It didn't take long for the food to disappear. Charlie didn't comment on my new found appetite which I was grateful for. That was the best thing about him. He never pried unless he was worried about me. Jake grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house.
"What's the rush?" I asked as we walked down his dirt driveway. I saw the guys waiting for us and smiled.
"We're taking you to one of our favorite places." They handed both Jake and I a towel and headed for a pick up truck. Jarad, Paul, Embry and Sam all jumped into the back. Jacob got into the drivers seat and I got into the passenger seat.
"Wait, are we going where I think we're going?" I asked, a grin slowly spreading across my face.
"If you mean to the cliff's to go cliff jumping then yes." Part of me was terrified to go jumping of cliffs but some new part of me was excited. I recalled the time Edward asked me not to do anything reckless and smirked. Maybe we can take a picture of me jumping so I could send it to him. Jacob and I stayed silent for a while. The boys in the back however were shouting and laughing as we drove down a narrow street.
"Do you think anyone else will phase soon?" I asked him suddenly. He sighed sadly and nodded.
"Seth and Leah Clearwater have both been showing signs. They've shot up in height and muscle mass. They eat like pigs and their temperature has been raising. If Harry and Sue didn't know about phasing they would have probably sent them to the hospital by now." I stayed thoughtful for a few moments before I finally realized something that I should have noticed before.
"I never got any taller or gained more muscles before I phased." I stated and he shrugged.
"I noticed that as well. The meeting with the elders will take place tonight around the bonfire. My dad is going to get Charlie to allow you to stay for it. Hopefully they will have the answers we're looking for." I sighed, realizing that more and more questions kept racing through my head. Finally the truck came to a stop and everyone hopped out. We all headed up to the top of the highest cliff.
"Are you ready for this Bella? Think of it as a sort of initiation." Sam said, winking at me.
"So what? If I want to join your little club I have to throw myself off a cliff? That hardly seems fair." I smirked at his reaction.
"Har de har." He muttered as we made it to the top. "So who wants to go first?"
"Me and Bella will go." Jake said proudly. I looked over at him like he was crazy but he didn't seem to notice. I wasn't sure I was ready for this but here was Jacob, gently pulling me towards the edge and I was letting him. He gave me a cheeky smile before he ran and jumped off the edge.
"Well, here goes nothing." I said quietly as I picked up speed while I ran towards the edge. At the last possible second my body decided to chicken out but it was too late. I tried to stop in time but instead I ended up tripping and falling off the edge of the cliff. "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" I yelled as I fell head over heels. That was when the most embarrassing thing happened. I heard a slight ripping sound as I quickly phased mid air. Now instead of falling head over heels I was falling head over tail. Finally I hit the water with a loud splash and swam, literally doing the doggy paddle towards the shore. Everyone was laughing at me when I finally got onto the sand. The rest of the boys jumped and came up behind me. I just sat in the sand, fur plastered down because of the stupid water and glared at them.
"I've never seen that happen before." Sam said, taking a deep breath and trying to control himself. "You continue to amuse us all." His eyes shot up and he looked panicked for a second. "I meant continue to surprise us all."
"Oh shut up you idiot." I muttered, knowing full well that no one could hear me in their human form.
"Who said that? Where are you?" I heard a voice call in my head. I jumped and looked around quickly, trying to see where the voice came from. The pack noticed my sudden strange behavior and stopped laughing completely and looked concerned.
"What is it Bella?" Sam asked as he looked around himself to see if he could find what made me jump.
"Who is this?" I asked as I saw Jacob disappear in the direction of the truck.
"Quil." The voice said and I nodded. He sounded scared so this must be his first time phasing. "What the hell is going on? Who are you? Why are you in my head? Why do I have paws? Is that a snout? What happened to my nose? Am I a dog?" I had to stop him so I could at least answer some of his questions.
"I'm Bella Swan. You know, Jake's friend? You have paws and a snout because you have turned into a wolf. The story's about the cold ones and shifters are all true. Sam is the alpha of the pack. I'm try and get him to phase so he can talk to you. I just phased for the first time yesterday so I wont be that much help." I looked up and barked at Sam. He just looked back at me stupidly. "Hello? Would you phase already you big moron?" I shouted in my head, knowing full well that he wouldn't hear me. I continued to bark and whine until he finally went somewhere where no one could see him. Finally I heard him enter the pack mind.
"What's going on Bella?" He asked.
"Sam, is that you?" He seemed to recognize Quil's voice immediately. As Sam started to answer, I saw Jake arrive with a change of clothes. I wasn't sure he should actually give them to me. At the rate I was going they would be shredded within an hour or two. Still, he placed them on my back and pointed in the direction Sam had left in. Once I got over there I hurried Sam away so I could phase out and change. I frowned as I put his clothes on. Baggy shorts and a red and white checkered, button down shirt. Yup, I was certainly rocking this new look. As I walked back over to them Jake yelled out to me.
"Hey, it's time to go. We should be meeting the leeches at the border soon." My heart quickened as I thought about seeing Alice.
"You'll stay in human form right?" I asked him, knowing that if either of us were in wolf form Sam would see her. I didn't know how she was and I didn't want him to hear anything. I'm sure her little slip up was going to be mentioned and if Sam heard that, he would probably charge over and kill her. He nodded and he quickly ran into the woods. We weren't too far from where we had to be so it wasn't much of a run. I could smell them before I could see them. There was the distinct vampire stench but the most amazing thing I had smelled in my entire life overpowered it. I couldn't even begin to describe it. It was like the ocean and chocolate and cherries and everything that was good in the world. The scent alone made my eyes roll back in my skull and I had to bite my lip to keep from moaning in delight. Another scent which reminded me of burning incense was also in the air. Finally we reached the treaty line and saw the three of them on the other side, waiting for us. Jasper had his arm around a sweet looking red headed girl. She looked sweet and innocent and I could tell it might be hard to dislike her but I was going to try damn hard. Alice had her back turned and almost refused to look at us. Jasper opened his mouth to speak but snapped it shut when he noticed me.
"B-Bella? You're not dead?" He asked and I just smirked at him.
"Apparently not asshole." I said coldly. Alice's body stiffened up and she seemed even more reluctant to look this way. Suddenly Jacob let out a fierce growl.
"You've been feeding on humans!" He cried as his body started to shake with rage. I looked up at his eyes and saw that they had a reddish tinge to them.
"You don't understand. We've all been through a tough time. When I found Maggie here she was a human drinker. We've been trying to get her onto the animal diet." I scoffed and shook my head.
"Bullshit!" I cried, growling slightly myself. "If you're actually telling the truth then you're a pretty bad teacher." I shouted, thinking about how many humans he may have killed.
"Please Bella, I didn't feed from a human by choice. When a human was nearby I had absorbed both Alice and Maggie's thirst through my gift. I couldn't help myself. It wasn't even my thirst that I was feeling." I just shook my head at him.
"Your little gift seems more like a curse if you ask me. A dangerous one at that." I muttered before taking a threatening step forward. "And don't you dare blame Alice for your thirst. Her going after a human was all your fault." He didn't even have the decency to look guilty. "So this is your new mate?" I asked looking at the innocent, still somewhat red eyed vampire. I could tell that she was the one who smelled like burning incense. This meant that Alice was the one who's scent drove me wild with delight. "Are you sure this time?" The redhead, Maggie looked confused. "Are you sure you are his mate?" I asked her, not sure if I was actually concerned about her or not. It's not like he would do what he did to Alice to someone else. Once should have been enough for him.
"Of course we're mates." She said and I detected a slight Irish accent. I snorted and looked between them.
"Alice was sure of that as well. That is until she found out that he had been using his ability on her to make her think that." Maggie gasped and looked up at Jasper, eyes pleading.
"We're mates aren't we?" She asked him and he just smiled.
"Of course we are darlin." She gasped again and stepped away from him.
"Lie!" She yelled, confusing both Jake and I. Even Jasper looked confused. How could she know that? "Please tell me you weren't just using us as an excuse to drink from humans." She said sadly.
"I would never do that." He said and she took a few more steps back.
"Lie." She said softly but dangerously. That was enough for Jacob and he burst out of his clothing and into wolf form scaring the hell out of Maggie. "What the hell is that!" She cried, pointing at wolf Jacob who was standing next to me, growling threateningly. I ignored her question and asked one of my own.
"Maggie, how do you know Jasper was lying when he answered you?" She looked up at me sadly then back at the large wolf.
"It's my ability. I can always tell when someone is lying. My old coven called me their own personal lie detector." Jasper must not have known this because the look of surprise that covered his face was clear. I growled again. This means that not only did he deceive another woman into believing that they were mates he also killed a human because he wanted to. The treaty was officially void. I knew it and Jacob knew it. And by the sound of the padding paws running towards us the rest of the pack knew it. Why wouldn't Alice look at us. Was she really that ashamed of what she had done? It wasn't her fault and I couldn't let them kill her. Nevertheless I did exactly what I thought I would do and shred out of the clothes while bursting into wolf form. Seriously if I kept this up there was going to be little pieces of confetti fabric scattered all around the forest.
"Please don't hurt Alice. I need to talk to her first." I begged. I didn't hear any objections though. Everyone's thoughts seemed to be on Jasper. No one seemed the last bit interested in Alice or Maggie at the moment. When I shifted Jasper gasped and his hand covered his mouth, trying to hide his shock.
"Y-you're a wolf?" He almost shouted as the rest of the wolves came closer. The rest of the Cullen's also managed to find their way to us. They must not have been too far away. To everyone's surprise I was the first one to jump across the treaty line and onto Jasper. I didn't expect him to be such an amazing fighter though and he easily threw me to the side. One after one the wolves crossed into the Cullen territory. Soon Edward and Carlisle were fighting alongside Jasper. Esme watched in horror as everyone fought. Rosalie stood back and kept her hand wrapped firmly around Emmett's wrist to keep him from joining the battle. I don't think Maggie even knew what to do and Alice still hadn't moved. Quil, being the newest member of the pack wasn't doing so well and he decided to move on to someone much smaller. Sadly that much smaller vampire happened to be Alice. As I saw him lunge towards her something inside me snapped and I collided with him, sending him flying into a tree. It was then that Alice finally turned around. The first thing I noticed was that her once golden eyes were now crimson red. Didn't this mean that she had been feeding on nothing but humans for a while? Why did I have a feeling that Jasper had something to do with this? She would never willingly kill a human. She was too sweet, kind and loveable. That wasn't going to do though. I was going to have to make sure to get her back on track. Then suddenly out of nowhere I felt this strong pull towards her. Suddenly I wanted to protect her from everything, from everyone who would ever try to hurt her. Suddenly she was my everything. And with that all the wolves stopped fighting. When Carlisle noticed that we weren't fighting back he managed to hold Jasper back and Edward managed to stop on his own.
"Holy shit Bella, you just imprinted on a damn vampire." Jarad said in awe. Is that what I had done? I imprinted on Alice? Didn't that mean she was my soul mate? Wait, was I even gay?
"I cant say that I approve of this." Sam said somewhat harshly making the rest of us cringe. "But I know what it feels like to have an imprint. I know how much it hurts to be away from her and even though she is a leech I don't feel as though I have much of a choice." He growled quietly and walked up to Alice, glaring as best as a wolf could at her. "But if she steps out of line, if she kills anyone or hurts anyone we will do what we are made to do. You get that don't you?" I nodded slowly and then looked over at Jasper.
"Edward, what's going on?" Carlisle asked as he looked around at the interaction between the wolves. Esme was extremely nervous when Sam, the big bad Alpha had gone up to Alice but she seemed to be calming down now that she realized he didn't want to hurt her.
"I don't know." Edward growled through clenched teeth. "I cant read them." He shot me a death glare and I just growled back at him.
"Wait, doesn't this mean we cant hurt her family?" Paul asked, suddenly crestfallen.
"Unfortunately." Jarad responded. I thought for a few moments.
"You know, I don't think I would consider Jasper to be a family member anymore. After they find out what he did I'm sure they will kick him out." I said, hoping they would understand what I was getting at. Paul grinned the strange wolf grin at me.
"Oh, well then shall we?" I turned towards Jasper and started to growl. He had hurt my imprint and now he was going to pay. The others seemed to agree. The only problem was that the moment we started fighting again, Edward and Carlisle would probably get back into the fight. Sam suddenly stepped up next to me and nudged me with his nose.
"We cant do this now Bella, but believe me when I say he is walking on eggshells with us. If I catch him alone I wont hesitate to rip him apart. I expect the same from you." I was surprised at Sam. I didn't think he would ever agree with me. "Look, we're a pack. A family and we need to stick together if we're going to survive in this leech infested world. We will have to change some things around with the treaty though. Right now with three red eyed vampires with them we will have to be extra careful. This means more patrolling. Luckily I believe Leah and Seth will be phasing soon. Although I doubt Leah will want anything to do with me she will have to listen. She will have to take up her duties as part of this pack." He nudged me again, this time towards Alice. I walked up to her and looked her in her eyes. Even when they were red they were still beautiful and I felt nothing but love surge through my body. "We will make this work." Sam said softly. Alice slowly reached a hand towards me.
"Bella?" She asked and I nodded as her hand connected with my fur. My whole body tingled with delight and I never wanted her to stop. I stepped up close to her and rubbed my head against her. She smile what seemed to be her first smile in months. I was glad I was the one to make that happen. I would never let anyone hurt her again. I would protect her with my life. With everything I had in me. I had never felt such strong feelings before. I didn't understand how I didn't feel this before when they were here. Did Alice feel anything for me? Sam nodded at me as he turned to walk back to the rest of the pack.
"She must. The imprint works both ways. You should both be feeling the effects of it." He looked at Alice then back at me before sighing."Yes, this will work...Somehow."
Okay so in this fiction I want the pack to be much closer then in most other fictions. The pack is supposed to be like a family. I don't like the whole pack divided thing and the constant fighting. (Except of course the occasional fight that breaks out because of their hotheadedness) They respect eachother and no matter who they imprint on they will always accept. They may not like it but they will try their best to deal with it.
Paul isn't going to be the Ass everyone thinks of him as.
Rosalie isn't going to be a complete bitch. Sometimes her bitch will come out though.
Bella will be sarcastic and as the story goes on she will become much more independent.
I'm not sure what to do with Jackassper. I mean Jasper. A lot of people seem to want him dead. I do like him in the books and movies but I guess he is a kind of a bad guy in this. Not the one that the whole story will be based on though. There is a lot more in store for the lovebirds. A lot more then just an Angry Ex and an asshole of a Empath.
