A/N: Hey, so I have decided to continue with the story. I am loving the support I'm getting so thank you. I absolutely love a good Carlisle pairing, especially with an OC and in my opinion there is not enough out there. I am out to remedy that! So, please enjoy and let me know what you think :)
The next few days were busy: I need to catch up on school so the teachers have been piling work on me, Bella needing help since her hand is all stitched up, I've done up my room and gone shopping in Port Angles for some new clothes and finally been spending all of my free time flying around the forest.
It was finally Friday and I couldn't wait until the weekend. School had been awful, with all the extra work and for some reason the Cullen's had been staring at me curiously and giving me odd looks. I continued sitting with them at lunch at each of them watched me like a hawk or a science experiment. It was starting to piss me off.
Another thing was I couldn't get than dammed Carlisle Cullen out of my head. I closed my eyes and saw his handsome face, I remembered his welcoming smile, I even dreamed about him. It was getting ridiculous and pissing me the fuck off.
But worst of all Bella's mind reading boyfriend had been around constantly so I haven't had much opportunity to consider what the fuck they were. Were they angels? Someone I didn't think so. So far my theory was fairies. The were magical, very beautiful and all looked way too similar but not in a biological way.
I dressed in a navy body con dress and tied my hair up on a pony tail. After throwing on some make up I made my way downstairs for breakfast.
I walked in and saw Bella had make scrambled eggs and toast – yum. I sat next to my cousin and uncle whilst I ate my breakfast. I had tried to spend some quality time with Bella lately but she was so consumed with the boyfriend she barely seemed to notice anything else aside from him. It was irritating really. I didn't approve of her having a boyfriend – even if he was human – because I knew something like this would happen; she would lose herself to him. She was too weak, too needy, too emotionally fragile. Bella needed to sort her own life out before delving into such a commitment. 'Not to mention her boyfriend isn't even fucking human!' I huffed.
'oh get over it already, your just jealous that your moody cousin can get some and you can't!' he snarked. I rolled my eyes inwardly. I hadn't gotten a chance to speak to Edward alone yet as Bella was constantly glued to his side.
"I'm off to school" Bella said as she rushed out of the door to go see Edward. I sighed, she had sat with her eyes flickering towards the clock and the door until he arrived. Girl needed to get a life.
I shook my head in frustration and I stood also, "I am off to school uncle Charlie" I said to him and gave him a wave.
"Have a nice day in school Ash" He said back with a mouth full of eggs. I smiled; my uncle Charlie was great. I bounced out the door with a spring in my step, I was in a good mood today. I had spent a few hours last night flying around the woods. It was quickly becoming my favourite place to be. The woods around here was incredible. I few up to Seattle before rounding back. It was a great night.
I drove to school in my little blue car and the usual monotony of school began and, as usual, I didn't see much of Bella. The school went by at a snails pace, most likely because I was eager for the weekend to start. I glared at the clock in my English lit class, 'motherfucking clock, if you don't hurry it the fuck up I am going to drop you in liquid nitrogen then smash you with a fucking hammer!' I ranted, sending death glares with my eyes. I was wondering if I could start a fire with my eyes when I heard chuckling inside my head.
'doin' all right there hun? Ya seem to be a bit off today. Why would you dip that clock in liquid nitrogen first? You could just smash it with the hammer?' he asked sniggering.
'for your information, Mr. Squiggles, it is so that it would suffer' I explained gruffly.
The bell then rang signalling lunch.
I jumped from my seat, "Hallelujah, praise Jesus!" I said loudly, earning a few looks from those in my class. I heard a scoff and a laughter coming from Barbie and Emmett. I made my way quickly to the lunch hall and went straight towards the Cullen table. I had begun making packed lunches, or rather getting Bella to make them. Hey, it saved me wasting a few dollars on a crappy school lunch.
As I made my way over to the table I saw that The boyfriend was there, along with Alice and Jasper. I saw them watching me as I approached as I watched right back. 'WHY THE FUCK DO THEY KEEP STARING AT ME?' I shouted internally and watched Edward wince a little. Served the fucker right.
I made it to the seat and pulled my lunch out. They began poking around their lunches with their eyes still on me. I removed my jacket, flipped my hair back and a breeze blew from behind me. I watched and saw each of their nostrils flare and look at me with more confusion. 'DID THEY JUST SMELL ME?' I saw Edwards eyes widen, why the fuck would they be sniffing me?!
'They're just taking in your scent. They must be confused by it' He explained. I scowled and took a harsh bite from my baloney sandwich. Man, Bella can cook a mean sub.
'What the fuck are they confused about?' I asked, chewing thoroughly before swallowing. They seemed to even watch me eat. What was up with that?
Barbie and Emmett appeared then and took their seats but Bella had not shown up yet, I wondered where she was.
'don't be a dumbass, you've been flying all around the forest all week. They've obviously noticed your scent around the forest and are wondering about it'
My eyes widened as the realisation hit me. I saw Jasper send me a curious look and Edward perk up also. I needed to think of something else, fast.
I pictured a naked Mike Newton kissing a naked Edward. That ought to do it.
Edward jumped in his seat, hissed and shot me a look full of disbelief and disgust. I tried to contain my mirth, biting my lip hard. That was a bit of an overreaction but then again, I did get a little... creative in my thoughts. It had to be done. I nodded and took a bite of my sandwich.
"What was that Edward?" Emmett asked laughed along with the voice in my head.
I saw the curiosity burning in Jaspers eyes and wondered what his deal was.
'Fucker was always smarter than the rest of these pansy's'
"Yeah Edward? What was that?" I asked innocently, bashing my eyelashes, I gave him a serious look "Did you see a spider?" I said gravely.
Edward opened and closed his mouth a few times before scowling.
"No, I didn't" He said gruffly. I gave him a sympathetic look and pet his hand.
"its ok to be afraid of them Edward, it's nothing to be ashamed of" I said solemnly.
His scowl now looked etched onto his face by marble, "I am not afraid of spiders" He replied with haughtiness. I gave him a sympathetic look.
I turned to his siblings, "Denial" I mouthed to them. I heard them chuckle. I even saw Rosalie sport a smile.
I heard a growl rumble in Edwards chest.
'Serves him right' I saw his eyebrows furrow.
At that moment Bella arrived at the table panting and throwing her bag down loudly. I winced and moved off to the side a little.
"I-I am so sorry I'm so late. I got kept behind in class because of Jessica" She groaned and promptly sat down.
Lunch after that was boring, I barely paid attention. I said some words to Alice but other than that was silent. I was trying very hard not to think of the implications that they could smell me around the forest, they knew I was different but not how yet. That my secret was endangered and to these non-humans no less had me on edge.
The bell rang and I made my way immediately towards History.
I sat down in class taking the usual supplies out when I heard the seat next to me scrape back. I ignored it. Jasper had been sitting next to me the last few days and although he watched me with interest he didn't speak.
"I can't figure you out" I heard a frustrated voice say. It was Jasper. I was surprised. He was speaking to me?
"Excuse me?" I said in a flat tone, raising an eyebrow. He shot me a look from the corner of his eye before sighing heavily.
"I said I can't figure you out; you are an enigma. What are you? How do you know so much?" He turned in his seat fully and shot me a confused but deeply curious look.
I raised an eyebrow and considered this for a moment.
I smirked at him, "I have no idea what your talking about, what do you think that I know?" I said innocently. Jasper frowned at me.
"Don't play coy, I know that you know some things at least. You know about me and Edward at the very least. You know that he can read minds and I can sense and manipulate emotions. Now, I want to know. How do you know this" He ended sounding very frustrated. I blinked in surprise, huh he was more observant than I have him credit for. Well, I knew about Edward but not about Jasper. Huh.
"We all have our ways" I said vaguely and looked towards the front of the class distractedly as the teacher began talking. I turned to look at Jasper's furrowed eyebrows, "as I am sure you and your family have your ways to know that I am also not normal. Don't think I haven't noticed that your family has been trying to figure it out; I'm not stupid" I shot him a pointed look and he looked at me sheepishly.
"We don't mean you any harm. We are just curious... what are you?" He said with interest sparkling in his eyes. Somehow I believed him that his family didn't have bad intentions, it may be naive but I did.
I smirked at him, "Wouldn't you like to know. I'm not giving away my secrets that easily" I replied.
He sighed in frustration then gave me a wary look before speaking, "How much do you know about us?"
'he's just afraid about his secret' I was reassured.
I looked at him from the corner of my eye, "I know enough to know that you and your family aren't human, that's for sure" I saw him visibly stiffen, "I won't betray your secret, I promise you. I've got a secret of my own too you know" I said and let the sincerity seep into my voice. I saw him nod seriously."I haven't figured out off of the details yet but, I will" I smiled at him happily.
He then shot me an arrogant look, "Just as I will figure out your secrets" He said assuredly.
I snorted.
"Good luck with that" I said in a doubtful tone. He raised an eyebrow at me.
"you don't think I can figure it out?" He said with amusement tainting his tone.
I sighed dramatically, "Well, I'm sure you could... eventually" I smirked.
He perked up, "Oh? Care to place a wager?" He said in an interested tone.
I looked at him curiously, "What did you have in mind?" I asked.
He smirked, "Well, how about we see who can figure out the others secret first?" He proposed.
"Deal. The winner gets to pick a dare for the losing party and they have to do it, no matter what" I said.
He grinned then and moved his hand under the table for me to shake. I shook it discretely.
'so, any help here?' I asked my inner voice hopefully.
I heard him scoff, 'aye fuckin' right. No way, I'm not gonna let you cheat your way through this'
I felt irritation go through me.
"Hypocrite" I muttered. I saw Jasper shoot me a look but I ignored it. He needed to get used to that fact that I was a little strange.
The bell rang then and we both began collecting our things. I saw Jasper looked towards me hesitantly before speaking.
"would...would you like to come over to ours? Edward will be at yours with Bella so you won't get any peace there" I groaned loudly at the thought of the mind reader being EVERYWHERE I FUCKING WENT. Jasper continued, "and Alice had been dying to spend some time with you" He gave me a small smile.
I sighed loudly but agreed. It couldn't be worse than having my thoughts stolen from me and unable to think freely. Sometimes you wanted to think about weird disgusting shit. Like what would it be like to have a tail? Thoughts are supposed to be private.
I nodded and saw his eyes light up the teeniest bit.
We walked together outside and he led me over to the granny-mobile. Edward was not here and I noticed him by Bella's truck frowning and watching us. I grinned at him brightly and winked as I whispered to Jasper, "I think Edwards constipated. Think I should buy him some laxatives?" I said knowing full well he could hear me.
I saw his eyes widen and throw me an incredulous look. Jasper boomed with laughter beside me. We reached the car then and saw the rest of his siblings laughing; even Rosalie.
Alice shot me a smile and bounced happily, "I am so glad your coming over! Carlisle will be so happy to see you! And I can give you a makeover and we can do each others nails and-" I cut her off then.
"dear god, what are you on and can I get some?" I asked, only half-joking.
I heard Jasper scoff as he entered the back seat. Emmett roared in laughter as he entered the drivers side. Rosalie took the passenger side.
Alice rolled her eyes but smiled happily, "wouldn't you like to know" She winked. She then scooted into the car and sat in the middle and motioned for me to get in.
I flicked my eyes over to my little car wondering about that but before I could say anything Alice spoke, "don't worry about it; I've got you covered" She explained. I didn't know quite what she meant by this but decided to trust her.
I got into the car and The big man began driving.
The car was silent so I decided to break it, "So, Jasper, you guys can't eat food but apparently can get constipated, I am getting close to figuring it out" I said, looking out the window. The car was going just above the speed limit.
Alice and Jasper laughed whilst Rosalie hissed and Emmett looked confused.
"Ash and Jasper have a bet going on to see who can figure out the others secret first" Alice chirped explaining to the rest of the car. Interesting, Alice knew already. How did she know? She then shot me a wink.
Emmett grinned broadly.
"Oooh can I get in on this?" He said.
I shook my head, "No way, two against one? Not fair"
Emmett looked disappointed so I decided to throw him a bone, "buut I'll tell you if you can figure it out on your own; just don't tell Jasper" I winked at him and saw him grin broadly.
"or... actually..." I had an amazing idea then.
I heard Alice laugh and she looked at me, "That's just cruel" She said. Huh! Even more interesting, she knew what I was going to say. She could... see the future? Huh.
"I was thinking maybe I should tell the rest of you and let Jasper figure it out on his own..." Jasper shot me a glare and Emmett laughed.
"But your right Alice, that would be too cruel" I replied giving her a grateful smile. Emmett cussed at her, she laughed evilly then.
I looked out the window and saw that we were driving in the middle of nowhere. I got a little nervous.
"Uh, guys? You aren't dragging me out to the woods to kill me are you..." I laughed anxiously.
The whole car laughed at that. Especially Jasper. Probably because he knew I wasn't really joking.
The car pulled up to a spectacular white mansion. It was stunning really.
I looked up in awe at the house as I made my way up the stairs flanked on either side by Alice and Jasper.
Entering the house was surreal. The house was huge but filled with warm colours and even though it looked sleek and modern it still had a homey quality and not that of a museum.
"Wow, the place looked great" I remarked, taking my jacket off.
"Thanks, our Dad Carlisle decorated it" Alice commented, taking my jacket from me.
I raised my eyebrows, "Really? He didn't take me for the type to enjoy interior decorating" I mentioned. I heard Alice giggle and Jasper smirked at me.
Jasper explained, "He doesn't but we can never agree on how to decorate our houses so he does it so stop us from fighting" I nodded absent-mindedly.
"Where is he anyways?" I asked curiously. I had been thinking about the handsome doctor quite a bit. More than I would admit that's for sure.
Alice giggled again and brought her hands together in glee.
"He's at work but he will be home soon; just enough time to get you made up!" she sang.
Alice took my hand and began dragging me away towards the stair case. I shot Jasper a desperate look but he held his hands up to say 'I'm not getting involved in this mess'. Before I was dragged upstairs Jasper called out.
"Oh and Ash?" He said, I turned to look at him.
"Carlisle isn't married by the way, remember I know how you feel" He winked at me and tapped his temple.
I gasped and then blushed as Alice giggled yet again from in front of me. I wondered why on earth I thought it would be a good idea to come here.
