Arya Cullen
Chapter 4
I placed my bike in the garage, I had no doubt that they knew I was home. I walked inside and went up the stairs, my family greeted me there. Edward was there too. He had an annoyed look on his face. I made sure to keep my mind blank of all that happened today. Carisle was with Esme, standing together. Jasper and Alice were near each other, sitting as was the same with Emmett and Rose. Edward and I were the only ones alone, like dealing with the judges. Rose said.
"Edward has been hanging around the human and eating with her". Emmett said.
"Well, not exactly eating with her, I don't think she would of stayed long". I gave a smirk at that and Rose glared. It brought a couple of chuckles except for Edward and Jasper. he had a stony look on his face with his arms crossed, Alice beaming at his side. Rose looked at me.
"Arya is not different! She ate with the boy human and left for the whole day with him! Those two are not understanding the risk, it does not just hurt them"! Carlisle nodded, like he was taking in what she said. Emmett scratched the back of his head with a grin.
"Oh, I don't know! They are breaking the rules, it's crazy". It seems like him, he is loud and jokes around most of the time, but he would not want to get invovled much. Carisle and Esme always speak last. Alice was next.
"I predicted this and I told you that Arya! I also seen that it makes Edward and Arya very happy"! My eyes widened, happy? Jasper shifted and I looked at him.
"It's a problem, humans can't mix with us. There are problems, what if it ends badly? Our secret is at risk". His eyes looked at me and I knew what he would say. Edward hissed and Jasper said. "I say we elliminate the threats". My eyes narrowed as I caught the 'S' on threat. Alice's expression fell, Carlisle stayed neutral, Esme looked worried and me and Edward snapped at once.
"Absolutely not"! Edward growled and snapped.
"You won't touch her"! Carlisle spoke for the first time.
"Edward, calm down. This is something to look at and it could be very serious. We have a couple of questions to think about, but we do not need to look to such extremes. Edward, Arya, do Bella and Roy know about us"? Edward replied.
"Yes". I spoke.
"Yes, sir". Jasper snapped.
"What? You told him"?! He moved closer to me and I tensed.
"He figured it out on his own. I will not let you touch him. I'd go to Voltura and die a second time". He looked at me shock on his face and Esme said.
"I don't ever want to hear that, Arya. I'm not letting that happen to one of my children, understand"? I nodded my head.
"Yes, Ma'am". Carilsle said.
"This is a problem, how well do you trust them to keep to themselves"? Edward said.
"Bella won't tell anyone". I nodded my head.
"Neither would Roy". Jasper growled.
"It's not worth the risk"! I growled back at him.
"You touch Roy and We'll finally see who is stronger". He gave a snarl and I crouched, hissing.
"Enough, both of you! It's settled, we'll wait and see". He left and I was still filled with anger, the thought of anyone wanting to hurt Roy filled me with such rage. Rose looked displeased, but seeing what happened between Me and Jasper, she dropped it. I sighed and rubbed the side of my face. I felt a touch on my shoulder. It was Esme.
"Are you okay? Will this Roy really make you happy" I shrugged and smiled, a chuckle slipping out.
"I do, I never felt that way around anyone before, no less a human". She squeezed my shoulder.
"Then I hope it works out".
"Thank you".
That was how the day was, Jasper stayed away from us and we stayed away from him. Actually, I was sitting with Edward on the couch. I sighed.
"I know how you feel about Bella, why you saved her". He looked at me seriously.
"This person appeals to you more". I smirked, he appeals to me less. Edward asked.
"Really"? I nodded with a grin.
"Yeah"...
It was the weekend and Edward was gone, he said he was going to see Bella and I decided I would see Roy. I got up and before I left, I heard.
"Arya". Jasper.
"I don't want to talk about it now". I then ran out, hating myself for the cowardly move. I ran to Roy's house and knocked on the door. A women opened it with brown hair and blue eyes. She asked.
"Hello? Who are you"? I extended my hand.
"Arya Cullen, friend of Roy, Ma'am". She took my hand with smile and shook, me not breathing as she did. She called.
"Roy, a friend is here for you". She went back inside and the dog came over growling at me. I rolled my eyes and barred my teeth with a growl. It yelped and ran off. Roy rolled his eyes at me.
"Seriously, Arya"? I merely smirked and he called out.
"Mom, I'm going out"! She yelled an okay and I rubbed my ear.
"Your so loud". He made a fake upset look.
"Well, I'm sorry if none of us have radar ears". I snickered at that. He asked.
"Where we going". I shrugged and said.
"I bet your still curious and have nothing to do today". He grinned and we walked until we ended up at some trees. I stilled myself and held out my hand. He grabbed it tightly and clasped in between my fingers. I felt him flinch, but he didn't let go. No doubt from the coldness of my hands. We walked in farther and I asked.
"Are sure you want to do this? Go with me alone"? He stopped and looked at me in the eyes and said.
"Yes". So then we walked farther in the forest and he sat on an upturned tree and I sat against it on the ground floor. I asked.
"Have anything to ask". He looked thoughtful.
"About how you told me about how you arrived with the Cullens..." I laughed and said.
"Not true, I came to them with Jasper and Alice in the late 1940's". His eyes widened.
"Wow, could you show me the sunlight thing". I grimaced, but nodded.
"If you want". I stood up and crouched, jumping on a tree and yanking a couple of thick brances down till a small stream of sunlight peaked through. I shrugged off my jacket and rolled up my sleeves. His eyes were wider in shock and his mouth parted as I knew my skin was sparkling.
"...Amazing". I pulled my sleeves down and sat down next to him and he asked.
"I know you usually shouldn't ask a women this, but how old exactly are you"? I laughed out loud at that and said with a smile.
"No matter, I'll have to tell you how I came to be. You won't like it. I was a real monster and it might make you run off, which if you had brains you would of did when you learned what I was". He grabbed my hand and I tensed. He withdrew.
"I'm sorry! I din't mean to". I shook my head and took his hand, if I ignored my hunger, I loved the feel of his warmth. He said.
"It won't scare me, I would love to hear it". I shrugged and said.
"I warned you, ok for one I'm 159 years old". He looked at me blankly and blinked.
"Wow, I'm dating an other women". I laughed grinning.
"Yes, so anyway I joined the Confederate Army when I was 17 deguised as a women. For two years I did that and then a Vampire named Maria found me. She already had Jasper, but he was Whitlock at the time. I was a soldier to fight in Newborn wars. Maria bitten me and she was my Mistress basically. She, I and Jasper turned alot of humans because Newborns are strong for a year and used to fight against other Newborns. But...when the year was up, Me, Jasper or another vampire named Peter gotten rid of them when they had no use. We did this for many years and then Alice found us in the late 1940's and then we found the Cullens". He looked at me in shock and I pulled the sleeves back up and I pointed at my arms.
"Look at this, a vampire vemom is the only thing that cannot heal". He took a finger and slowly traced them. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"That's shocking. I feel bad. What you have to go through was terriable". I looked at him, a bemused look I knew was on my face.
"You are the amazing one here, you know that". He shrugged, but I saw a flush creep up his neck. I softened, I don't know what it was about him that made me do that. I turned to face him more and I said.
"Could you not move for a second". He gave a small nod and I moved closer. I cupped him chin and and cheek. I moved until I was close to his chest and I sniffed at his collarbone and my mind grew fuzzy and I jumped 10 feet away. He got up and moved towards me, but I barred my teeth at him. He backed off and I stood.
"I'm sorry! I lost control. Let's go". We walked back and he said.
"It's okay, really it is". I then used vampire speed and pushed him lightly to a tree and sniffed, it was easier. I smiled and said.
"This may be awkward, but get on my back, I want to show you something". He shook his head.
"Come on, I know your stronger, but i'm still a guy here". I chuckled and said.
"Come on". He sighed, shook his head and mumbled a fine. I knelt and he kind of hopped on my back and I raced through the tress, they whipping past me. I felt his breath against my neck in shock. Soon we arrived near his house and I let him down. He stumbled and I grabbed him, make sure he didn't fall. He looked blankly around and I asked.
"Are you okay"? He nodded with a lopsided grin. I waited until he was good to walk and walked him home. He went inside and I ran home, happy about the results of today. I walked in the house, Edward was gone, Alice, Emmett and Rose gone too. I could hear Carilsle and Esme up stairs. Jasper was seating on the couch and I stared at him and he did the same back, but didn't say anything. I walked away and I heard him sigh under his breath. I hope Jasper comes to his senses with this, I hated being at odds with my brother, but knew I would stop him if Roy came to harm.
I actually spent the whole day playing the piano. Every type of melody doing this, over and over. I was getting bored though. Edward walked in with Alice behind him and I smirked, playing the dun-dun-dun when they got on. Edward looked at me with a raised eyebrow. Alice giggled and jumped on the seat next to me and Jasper left earlier. I frowned at that, why would Jasper leave he has no where to go right now? I knew him and he follows orders all the time. Espically by a Coven Leader.
Unless, he thought it would be the truly best for the Coven and he thought he had to take action. But he knows how much they mean to us...
"Sometimes chosing the best for the Coven is hard, almost heartbreaking, not that we have any". Jasper words rang in my head and I jumped up. Alice looked at me in horror. I took her by the shoulders.
"Alice, what did you see? Tell me"! Edward ran over.
"He made up his mind, he will go after Roy and Bella". I snarled and let her go. I snapped.
"You go to Bella"! He ran off and I did too. I heard Alice behind me. I landed at Roy's house and looked around sniffing. I looked around and his scent was not there. My phone rang and I picked it up.
"Eh, Arya"! Emmett.
"Emmett, how's Bella? Edward? Jasper"? He laughed slightly.
"Hey, calm down! Jasper being held back by Edward and Carlisle. Bella was unharmed and Rose is with me. We're on our way home now. Is Alice with you"? I said.
"Yeah, we'll be home too". I felt unbeleviable rage, he would of went after Roy next. I ran home, rage bubbling in my system. I intercepted them and crashed into Jasper. We both fell to the ground. I snarled in his face.
"What's the big idea!? You would of went after Roy next"! He snarled back.
"Yes I would and you should too"! I backed off and crouched, hissing. He did the same. I heard Alice's voice and he turned his head, I grabbed him by the neck.
We went tumbling again and I let instinct take place. He smashed an elbow in my face and I sunk my teeth in and he bit my shoulder, I bit down harder as did he. I was pulled from Jasper by Edward and Carlisle. Jasper had Alice and Emmett on him. I snarled in their grips as Alice calmed him down. I heard Carlisle yell and shake me roughly.
"Enough, both of you"! I calmed down, but they did not let me go. Carlisle moved away and I yanked my arm, but Edward grabbed both of mine behind me. Carlisle said.
"Look at you! Hissing, Snarling and Biting each other"! I looked at Jasper elbow, my teeth marks shining a little. I felt pain in my shoulder where he bit it. Edward let go and I ran home, Emmett and Edward on my heels. We gotten home and Esme looked at all of us and asked.
"What happened"? I felt a bit ashamed, around looking this, I did. I heard Jasper shift and I knew he felt the same way. Carisle explained and she gotten that disappointed look. It was well into night and I left again, ignoring the others and ran to Roy's house. I jumped into a tree facing his window and just watched for the rest of the night.
