Enjoy the chapter and keep up the reviews! Let's shoot for 300 reviews peeps. It would make me happy XD Sorry I was late in updating, my modem died and I couldn't get on the internet. But its all good now. Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, SM does.
Paul walked a few steps behind Bella, anticipating his plan.
Just as Seth was about to answer something, Bella came in giggling, with a twinkle in her eye.
Seth shook his head, wondering what she was up to now.
Rosalie huffed. "There goes that god-awful wet dog smell again."
All of a sudden, Paul strolled in like he owned the place. "Honey, I'm home!" He glanced over at Rosalie and Edward and nodded at them. "Whatup, Fuckward, Rosabitch."
Chapter Thirteen: That's My Sis
Bella laughed and walked over to the sofa to sit next to Seth. Seth immediately put his arm around her and pulled her closer.
Paul sighed and walked confidently over to the sofa, lifting Seth's arm off of Bella's shoulder. He then sat down heavily between them, effectively separating them.
Bella rolled her eyes. "Real mature, Paul."
Paul winked at her. "You know you love it, sis."
Seth interrupted their banter. "Why are you here, Paul?"
"Yes, what makes you think that you can waltz into our home as if you owned the place?" Rosalie added.
Paul smirked. "Blondie, why don't you just play with your hair while the grownups are talking?"
Peter chuckled. "Seems this entertainment runs in the family."
Paul turned to see who had spoken and jumped up immediately, shaking in anger. "Seth, you're supposed to be protecting her from red-eyed leeches!"
Seth narrowed his eyes. "I am protecting her."
Paul snorted. "You seem to be doing a great job of that. Seems like ya missed two." He gestured towards Peter and Charlotte.
Seth sighed. "They haven't made any moves toward her yet and we are supposed to be somewhat cordial to the Cullens. The red-eyed leeches are friends with one of the Cullens."
Peter grimaced. "We do have names, y'know. I'm Peter. And this is my wife, Charlotte."
Paul began to shake even more and seemed to be about to lunge at him, when Bella put a restraining arm on him. "Calm down, Paulie. He's cool."
Paul growled even more. "He kills humans!"
Bella narrowed her eyes at him. "You know we need their help. And if we have to put up with their red-eyed leech friends then so fucking be it."
Paul grimaced but his tremors gradually slowed down until they came to a stop. "This woman better be right, Bells."
Seth started to clap his hands. "Way to go, babe. I don't think anyone has been able to stop Paul from phasing before."
Paul pretended to not hear him but muttered under his breath. "I'm not as whipped as some people I know."
Seth jumped up. "Hey I am not whipped!"
Bella sighed, rubbing her forehead in irritation. "Will you two sit down and stop acting like five year olds? The sooner we get down to business, the sooner we can get back home. Where we can breathe."
Esme looked hurt and tried to cover it up, but Rosalie saw the heartbroken look on her face.
Rosalie huffed. "You don't exactly smell like roses either, mutts."
Paul and Seth almost jumped up again but quickly sat back down when Bella shot them a warning look. Bella then turned her attention towards Rosalie. "It's ok, guys. If Rosalie wants to make herself feel better about the fact that her scent makes others want to vomit, then let her."
Paul outright chuckled, while Seth attempted to hide his laugh in a cough.
Rosalie's eyes flashed and almost lunged but was stopped by Emmett's restraining hand. "Now you don't wanna do that, Rosie."
Bella nodded in agreement. "Listen to your mate, Rosie. I'm much more durable now and I'm afraid you wouldn't stand a chance."
Rosalie snarled. "You want to bet. Just because you're slightly less human now, doesn't mean I won't hesitate to end you!"
Esme tried to calm things down. "Rosalie! Sit down!" Rosalie sat down immediately, still glaring daggers at Bella.
Esme turned to Bella. "Bella, dear. What has happened to you? You were never like this before."
Bella was suddenly getting uneasy with the presence of so many vampires around her. "Your abandonment is what happened to me. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to run a quick patrol and report back to Quil and whoever else is with him." She glanced over as Seth and Paul rose to join her. "Alone. I'll howl if I need anything." She turned and went through the door, the tremors already running through her body. Seconds later, a wolf stood in her place before she bounded into the forest.
-Two hours later-
The Denalis had quietly excused themselves not too long after Bella had left. They were not used to company, especially that of temperamental wolves. Plus, they did not want to intrude on what they deemed to be a private matter of the Cullens.
The Cullens were the only ones who remained in the living room, along with Peter and Charlotte, as well as Seth and Paul. They were presumably waiting for Bella to return.
Carlisle had tried to start a little small talk, but to no avail as neither Seth nor Paul seemed to want to contribute. He as well as the rest of the family had many questions about Bella and he decided that now was most likely a good time to get them answered since Bella didn't seem too keen to share anything about her life with them.
"So, Seth. How long have you and Bella been..together?"
Seth narrowed his eyes. "I don't see how that relates to the situation at hand."
Paul mock-sighed. He was bored and needed entertainment to stop himself from worrying about why Bella had been gone so long. "Can you dumb it down for those who actually speak normal English, Sethy?"
Seth rolled his eyes. "I don't see how it matters. Happy now? And stop calling me Sethy."
Paul's eyes widened. "Oh no! Can't make little Sethy seem less of a man around Bella, huh?"
Seth surprisingly smirked. "But Bella doesn't think I'm...little, Paul."
Paul narrowed his eyes at him. "I told you not to do anything with my sister!"
Peter interrupted. "Not that this isn't interesting, but shouldn't the Bella in question have been back by now?"
Alice nodded. "Why does she keep leaving anyway?"
Seth shrugged. "She phased for the first time not too long ago. It's harder for her to maintain control around so many vampires."
Paul shook his head. "Stop trying to make them feel better. You phased the same day as Bella and I don't see you running off every five minutes."
Seth sighed. "Actually, Sam says I seem calmer than the others who have phased. I guess I'm like the opposite of you. Bella can't adjust as easily."
Paul snorted. "Yeah sure, don't let her hear you say that. Even if you're right, it has been a long time."
Suddenly, they heard a pained howl and Seth and Paul immediately jumped up and ran outside, phasing mid-stride, their clothes scattering everywhere. In their place was now two large wolves, one golden brown, the other dark silver in color.
Everyone else raced to follow them. Esme couldn't contain her worry and turned to Edward as they ran. "What's happening?"
Edward seemed just as anxious to find Bella as they were. "Bella would only howl if she was in trouble."
They reached a clearing in the woods and saw Bella fighting with two newborn vampires. It looked like she was winning the battle as one vampire was missing an arm, the other a leg. On closer look, they saw that Bella was limping slightly, one of her front legs hanging almost uselessly.
Seeing this, the wolves that were Seth and Paul roared and immediately jumped in to fight. The rest of the family was about to join, but Peter stopped them. "Let them fight this one on their own. Something tells me that we need to."
Everyone turned to Carlisle who turned to Jasper, who nodded. Jasper knew that whenever Peter said they needed to do something, they should do it. He was always right. So, they stood still to watch the fight.
The wolves seemed to almost instinctually know how to fight with each other. Paul and Seth stealthily took positions that made it so the two vampires were surrounded with barely any room for escape. Seth was keeping up a continuous growl, as was Paul.
The newborns then seemed to realize their fate and attempted to reason with the Cullens. "We only want the human girl. Where is she?"
The Cullens didn't respond. The wolves were closing in on the newborns and Bella used the distraction to rip the other arm off of one vampire and quickly flinging it away from her. Seth and Paul were focusing on the other vampire, leaving Bella to deal with the now armless one.
The vampire snarled in agony and a low growl began to build in Bella's throat. The vampire tried to kick at her, but she quickly moved away and began to close in on him again, easily avoiding any part of the vampire touching her. In a quick move, she succeeded in ripping a leg off of the vampire, but he kicked her with force enough to send her crashing into a tree. Seth immediately looked up as she made impact and as his eyes met Bella's she saw what he couldn't see.
She growled and with almost blinding speed, jumped up, ripped the head off of the vampire and sped towards Seth, knocking him out of the way just as the other vampire made a swing at him. The blow reached Bella instead and she fell in a heap, unmoving.
Paul and Seth roared in fury and made quick work of the vampire and rushed over to Bella's motionless form.
Two hours earlier
As soon as Bella phased, she laughed as she realized that poor Jared was the one who was unfortunate enough to be stuck patrolling with Quil.
A/N Quil italics, Jared underlined italics, Bella bold italics.
…the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round. The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round...um, all through the town…uh…shit what's next? …you spin my head right round, right round, when you go down, when you go down down…
What the hell man! You can't ruin a childhood song like that. It's just wrong!
Quil sighed. So I confused a song about a bus with a song about a blowjob. It's a common mistake.
Jared was now imagining different ways to end Quil's life. Push him off a cliff…naw, that would heal in a day or two. Could chop his head off. No one could come back from that. I could even blame it on Jason..he killed people in the woods, right?
Bella couldn't remain silent any longer and burst out laughing. Both Jared and Quil jumped.
What the hell, B! Could give us a warning, y'know.
Aww, Quil. What would be the fun in that? Oh, and Jared, your plan wouldn't work anyway. It's not Friday the 13th.
Dammit! Ah well, guess I'll have to figure something else out. I don't know how you put up with him.
That's easy. I work with him instead of against him.
Easy for you to say. You haven't patrolled with him yet.
So, B. Have you been safe?
Uhh, yeah. The only leeches I've seen are the Cullens and their friends.
Quil sighed. I meant has Seth been wrapping his willy while you two were going at it.
Bella almost ran into a tree. What the hell is a willy?
Quil rolled his eyes. You know, Seth Jr.
What the fuck are you talking about? Maybe you should go home and get some rest. I'll finish up here.
Quil snorted. I'm not sleep-deprived. I'm talking about the love doctor, the pleasure-bringer, the manstick. Or as you common people prefer, the penis, manhood, or di-
OK Quil, I get it. And no me and Seth have not had sex yet!
As Bella said this, she stiffened as she came across the sickly sweet smell of vampire.
Oh shit! Bella, call for Seth and Paul right now!
Bella huffed. Oh please, Jared. I can totally take on one measly vamp all by myself. And with that, she cut off her connection to the rest of the pack so that she could concentrate.
She followed the trail and was able to locate the vampire immediately. He looked both shocked and scared to see a giant wolf, but relaxed slightly. Bella figured he thought that she was just an abnormally large animal that would run away because of the danger he exuded.
While the vampire was still standing motionless, Bella lunged, ripping off one of his legs. The vampire let out a roar of pain and attempted to swing at her. Unable to balance with one foot, he fell. Bella quickly dodged him and tried to rip off his other leg, but another vampire came out of no where. He charged right into to her, making her fall to the ground. She tried to roll out from under him, but just as she was getting up, the vampire grabbed her front leg and pulled until a crack was heard.
Bella was unable to contain a pained howl and she did her best to stand up, standing on her other strong paws.
Present Time
As soon as the blow hit Bella, everything went black. Moments later, Bella's vision became blurry until it was gradually clear.
Bella looked around her to try to remember where she was. This doesn't look like Alaska.
The longer she looked at her surroundings, the more she realized that she was in the La Push woods.
Her head shot up as she heard a rustling in the trees, the sound of a snapping twig alerting her even more to the fact that someone else was here.
"Who's there."
An almost eerie silence ensued before the same mysterious woman that Bella had seen before, gracefully walked towards Bella.
"You did well, Isabella."
Bella's nose wrinkled in displeasure at being addressed by her full name, not going unnoticed by the woman. "You may not like your name, but that is what I will address you by. It means beautiful, and even if you don't believe it, that's what you are."
Bella snorted but chose not to correct her.
The woman just smiled and sat down with a peaceful expression on her face. "You have done well in locating the Cullens, Isabella. But it does not end there. You must ask for their aid and return home quickly. The danger does not end with those two vampires that attacked you."
Bella's eyes widened. "How did you know?"
The woman's smile just widened. "I have my ways. Now, Isabella, you must promise that you will do what I ask of you."
Bella grimaced. "No one will believe me if I tell them that I know that danger is coming because a woman in a dream spoke to me."
The woman laughed. "The two vampires who were searching for you should be proof enough."
Bella sighed. "I promise."
The woman grinned. "Thank you, Isabella. You must wake up now. You have been asleep for three days."
-insert line here-
Bella's eyes fluttered open to find herself in an unfamiliar room. The sun was shining through the window, so Bella assumed it was about midday. Looking around her, she was slightly disappointed that no one was in the room with her, but shrugged.
She sat up and winced, her arm and the right side of her body feeling sore. Bella threw the sheets off of her and softly touched her feet to the ground. She tiptoed towards the door and slowly opened it so that she wouldn't make a sound.
Bella crept down the stairs, hoping to eavesdrop in order to find out what had happened while she was asleep.
She saw that the Cullens and Denalis were watching Seth and Paul eat in absorbed fascination. Seth and Paul seemed to be almost shoveling down food.
Esme just shook her head. "Boys, I know I said that you could go back to Bella as soon as you finished eating, but this is just too much."
Bella decided to announce her presence. "No need. I'm awake."
She laughed as everyone jumped. "Never thought I'd be able to scare a vampire, let alone a group of them."
Carlisle sighed. "Bella, you should be resting. You did break your arm…and cracked a few ribs."
Seth and Paul seemed to snap out of their shock to see her awake and ran over to her. Seth was the first to reach her and immediately embraced her. "Don't scare me like that again."
Bella snorted. "I'm perfectly fine. Two measly vampires can't take me down."
Paul smiled proudly. "That's my sis."
Bella grinned back but sobered up as she remembered her dream. "We have to get back to La Push as soon as possible."
A/N That's all for this chapter peeps. Next chapter, we'll find out the Cullen's decision. Will Bella and Seth get any alone time with Paul hanging around? Review and you'll find out XD
