Chapter Six

Cleo's POV

I took a deep breath in and thought of the horrible smell that radiated from the Cullen's. A deep growl ripped out from my chest as my body rippled and changed into the animal within. Paul, who had already phased, gave me a lopsided look, with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. He cocked his head to the side.

Cleo, did you mean to change into a kitten?

I looked at myself via Paul's mind. Aww, shit! How did this happen? Ok. Think, Cleo. I just let the animal out without getting that angry. Oh, right. Anger is the key. Ok. Think of a wolf. The wolf. White and with occasional black fur. I felt myself transforming once again. This time, into the wolf. I shook my head and tensed my legs, ready to spring into a run. Paul noticed and started running. I howled in delight as I ran alongside him. While we were on patrol, I smelt one of the Cullen's. Paul and I both skidded to a stop as we approached the putrid smell.

I don't think Paul noticed, but I could smell something other than a vampire. Something familiar. Like flowers. Lilies and freesias, I think. Wait, that was what Bella smelt like. Oh crap. Laced with the smell of that Edward Cullen. Why is Bella so dangerous? We got close enough to be able to see the two of them in the middle of a small clearing.

Wait, isn't that Bella, your sister?

I nodded, but paused, trying to hear into Bloodsucker and Bella's conversation. (It's not in the book, I know. However, I needed this scene. Therefore, I'm going with what I remember from the movie. Sorry if people don't like this particular bit.)

"I know what you are…" Bella's voice was faint and starting to crack.

"Say it. Out loud." Oh, crap…. I thought. His head turned in our direction.

"Vampire. You're a vampire." Bella's confession of what Cullen was jerked his attention back toward my sister. She's figured it out. One step closer, and she'll figure out about me.

This is a dangerous situation, I thought to Paul. He phased back, concerned and swore loudly when he realised he'd forgotten cut-offs. We are imprints, but I still covered my eyes securely, blushing profusely. He started running like a lunatic towards his house. It was funny. He got to a good speed, pushed himself off a log, and phased into his wolf form. I tried the same thing, but changing into whatever animal my body wanted to phase to. It worked and I felt the strange transformation of turning into a pure white eagle with black wing tips. I flew high above, joyful that I could change into anything.

Carefully, I landed on my window sill. The window was open so I hopped my way in and phase on my bed. It wasn't such a good idea, because as soon as I phased back to a human, my felt the need to throw up. Dashing to the toilet, I threw up. Did I eat corn? I really need to cut back on my naked adventures, because that was when Charlie decides to use the toilet and finds me naked while I'm throwing up the content of my stomach. Needless to say, Charlie ran out quickly, covering his eyes and muttering something about not needing to see his daughter naked. Moments later there was a loud crash and Charlie cussing loudly.

I got back to my room, and got out another fresh set of clothes for me to wear. I was going downstairs when I remembered that I'd left my car over at Paul's. Sighing, and wondering how stupid I could be and I flipped open my phone to text Paul.

Hey
Left my car ova ur place. Can you drop it off?
Love, C

I sent the text and maybe around 20 minutes later I found Paul waiting on the front door, with my keys dangling from his fingers as Jacob had done earlier in the day. I smiled warmly and hugged him. However, when I looked behind him, Bella was there with a critical look on her face. This couldn't look good. I leaned closer into Paul's ear. "Paul, Bella is here. You'd better leave." Thanks to wolfy hearing, I could speak so softly that Bella didn't hear me.

After Paul had left, Bella started talking to me. Not that I was listening that well. "So are you gonna come with me?" Not really knowing what she was saying, I just nodded and we got into her truck. I closed my eyes and let Bella drive. The windows were open, the way we both liked them. I could smell the trees, everything. I smiled as i caught a faint wiff of Sam and Jared. They must be on patrol. Bella drove into the woods on a small lane that winded up one of the mountains. Near the top in a large clearing, was a gorgeous white house. Everything was amazing except for the smell. The Cullen's house. All eight of them were inside. Two came out and introduced themselves as Carlisle and Esme. They looked so young. Well, they were vampires after all. Carlisle gave me a calculating look and I smiled nervously.

Bella had told me something about all of the vampires. It was nice to have inside info on them. Carlisle was the doctor, with a lot of control over his thirst, I would imagine. Esme was his wife. Bella didn't know much about her. The other six pretended that they were either fostered or adopted by Carlisle and Esme.

Edward, obviously Bella had a lot to say about him. The lonely guy in the family.

Alice, the lonely girl in the family. She'd once been "going out" with Jasper. From what I'd heard at La Push werewolf central, Jasper had found another mate, and had pushed Alice aside, leaving her alone. She was a little depressed after that happened.

Rosalie. The one who could make a super-model feel insecure about her looks.

Emmett, the beefy strong one who always had a smile on his face.

Jasper, the empath. The second newest edition to the family. He always looked like he was in pain when I see him at school. Maybe having everyone else's blood-lust put on you via the empathy link wouldn't help a whole deal.

Last but not least, Diana. The newest addition that the Cullen family had acquired. No problem with blood-lust evidently and the only Cullen to have brown-black eyes.

This family was an odd sort. Nevertheless, they all fit in together like a 1000 piece jigsaw. Took you a long time to figure how it fits together, but in the end it does. Carlisle and Esme invited us inside and as we stepped in the smell of freshly made pasta and a nice Caesar salad assaulted my senses. The smell washed over me and I swallowed as little air as I could, so I wouldn't get too hungry. Edward was walking down the stairs when we came in and he smiled and walked tensely towards Bella as if he was expecting something bad to happen. But, we were in a house of vamps. "Can I tell her, Edward? Can I tell Cleo?" Bella was looking brightly up at Edward, whose face was scrunched up. The Alice girl decided that then was the time to dance into the room.

"I've already seen it Ed. We may as well tell her. I can't see it now… but I've seen it."

Edward turned slightly towards Alice. "She already knows, Alice. I talked to her at school one time." Bella scrunched her nose up, realising that I had found out before her. Alice looked shocked; she must not have seen that coming. Her mouth slid into a frown as a blank look came across her face.

"I can't see anyones future." Edward glanced over at me. I think my eyes deceived me, because i swear Edward sent a cheeky grin in my direction. Rosalie and Diana chose that moment to come out of the kitchen. Edward looked over at them. "Diana, Rosalie, can you please take Cleo out somewhere? Please?"

Diana cocked her head to the side while looking at Edward. He nodded a couple of times. Rosalie went the easy way. "No. I refuse to go with that mu…" Diana had gripped onto Rosalie's arm, stopping her from saying anything else.

My heart stopped when Rosalie almost spoke of what I was. Bella turned in my direction; a confused expression on her face. "Cleo? Is everything all right?"

It sounds like a bad ending to the chapter…. But I didn't know how else to end it. I've put up some links to photos on my profile. The pics are what I imagined the characters in this story to look like. Most of them aren't the actors that are used in the movies. If you look, and don't like, well, I'm sorry, I can't please everyone and this is just what I thought they would look like. I hope you guys liked the chapter :S

Sorry for the long wait.

Thanks for reading, Skye
