All's Fair In Love And War
Chapter 17: Karlia
BPOV
"We're home!"
"Oh, great," I sighed.
"WHAT happened?!" Esme gasped.
What was she referring to, exactly?
Her house.
It was a MESS.
"The couch?!" She cried out.
Everyone pointed to Emmett and I.
"It's his fault!" I murmured.
"How is it MY fault?!" Emmett argued.
"Emmett…did you make Bella angry?" Carlisle asked.
"Sort of…" He shrugged.
"Emmett, go up to your room. Alice and Jasper, do whatever. Rosalie, go anywhere that Emmett isn't. Edward…help Bella clean up the house," Esme ordered.
"I didn't do anything!" Edward glared.
"To bad."
"Fine. Whatever." Edward muttered, picking up a broom.
Once we finished, we stared at the spotless house.
"Are we done?" Edward sighed.
"I think so," I looked around.
Esme walked down the stairs, with her hands covering her eyes.
"Is it safe?" She asked.
"Yup." We both sighed.
"You two…go buy me a new couch."
"But, Esme!" I whined.
"No buts. GO!" She shouted.
And we were out in a flash.
"Geez…she's scary when she wants to be, huh?" I asked.
THAT was an understatement.
"You should have seen her when Emmet broke her favorite antique vase." Edward shuddered.
Once we got to the little furniture store in Port Angeles, we went straight to the customer service desk.
"H-hello." The man stared.
At me.
Okay, I'm not being conceited or anything, but ya.
He was most definitely staring.
Edward (apparently) noticed, and wrapped his arm possessively around my waist.
"Hello. We want to know where your couches are." Edward glared.
"Uh…ya. That way," He pointed.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"Okay, so what kind of couch does she want, exactly?" I asked.
"You expect ME to know?" Edward asked.
"Well…you've known her for more than half a century…I've known her for, like, half a week!" I pointed.
"Uh…something antique, old, expensive, and white." He thought.
"Why white? Doesn't white stain, or something?" I asked.
Why am I having a conversation about couch stains with Edward Cullen?!
"Do you think we're going to spill blood on it or something?" He laughed.
"Well, for your in-" I began.
"Hide ME!" I hissed.
"Why?!" Edward looked around, worriedly.
"My mother is here," I growled.
Edward broke down.
Laughing.
"UH! She's coming! Hurry!" I growled.
"You annoying, idiotic, freakin-" I hissed, as I practically dragged him across the floor.
"You want me to help you, don't you?" He asked.
I pulled him into a small recliner, and sat on his lap.
"Remember how you owed me?" I asked.
"Yah," He mumbled.
"Well, she's coming! So, your debt is repaid." I whispered.
"Wha-?" He began.
But I cut him off by kissing him.
Once the coast was clear, I jumped up.
"Thanks." I clapped.
"Ugh…down!" He whispered.
"Hmm?"
What is he talking about?
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"BABY!"
Oh, god! Why me, lord?!
"Hello. Mother." I glared at Edward as she wrapped her arms around me.
"Guess what, guess what, guess what, pumpersnickle?!" She squealed.
Pumpersnickle?!
Is that even a WORD?!
I stared at Edward, and mouthed the word "pumpersnickle".
He shrugged.
"SAVE ME!" I mouthed.
"You have a sister!" Renee giggled.
"Huh?"
"We adopted a 16-year-old vampire!" She squealed. AGAIN.
"Where is she?" I sighed, defeated.
"Right here!"
How she managed to produce a tall, lean vampire woman from behind her back is beyond me.
"Where you standing there the whole time?" I asked.
"Uh-huh."
I was about to ask her what the hell she was looking at, but then I turned.
She was staring at Edward.
And he was looking at me.
As I looked at him.
As my mother looked at the girl.
"Okay," I turned my back on Edward.
And he pulled me on his lap.
Well, THAT was unexpected.
I looked at my "adopted" sister, and she glared at me.
"What's your name?" I smiled.
She looks oddly like…
"My name is Karlia." She smirked.
"Have any sibling vampires?" Edward asked.
As I turned toward him, his head was cocked to the side, curiously.
"Yes. Two."
"Any powers?"
"Yup. I can sense other's powers." She answered.
"Example?" Edward asked.
What is this? An interrogation?
"Okay. Edward, you're telepathic. Bella has three." She stated.
"Wait…Bella. You have THREE?!" Edward gasped.
"Uh…I don't know." I lied.
"You're lying." Karlia smiled.
"You're powers are pytokinesis, shielding, and a power I cannot understand. Something…demonic."
Edward stiffened.
"Atomic bomb?" He asked.
"No…worse." Karlia muttered.
And then it hit me.
"Karlia…is one of your siblings male?" I asked.
"Yes."
"What's his name?" I lead on.
"My sister's name is Kara." She offered.
"WHAT is your brother's name?!" I growled.
"Bella!" Renee glared.
Will she just spit it OUT?!
"Koyu."
