Lacey's POV
After I had gone back to sleep, it seemed like only five minutes later someone was shaking me awake.
Opening one eye I saw Rose.
"Great, your up. Get dressed, we're going to talk to the mutts today." Rose announced.
"Can't Claire and I just stay here?" I asked groggily.
"No. Get up." Rose ordered.
Half asleep, I got up and walked to my bag, and pulled out a black skirt with thin white lines, torn black leggings with my favorite boots, and a white t-shirt that had a punk skull design on the front with my favorite black beret.
Claire was already dressed, so we walked downstairs where everyone was waiting on Alice.
"Woah." Claire muttered, eyes wide, looking at all the vampires.
"Claire, meet the Cullens. Well, most of them." I said gesturing to the family.
"Hi." Claire said wiggling the fingers of her right hand.
"Hi, I'm Rosalie and this is my husband Emmet." Rosalie said gesturing to Emmet.
Claire stood on her tip toes and I leaned down.
Cupping her hands around my ears, she whispered.
"She's pretty."
"I know." I chuckled.
The rest of the family introduced themselves and FINALLY Alice came down with a Bella Barbie behind her.
"Bella, I didn't know you were here! What happened?" I asked trying to stifle my laugh along with everyone else.
"The stupid pixie woke me up and dragged me here." Bella muttered blushing furiously.
"Well, you look pretty." Claire supplied.
"Thanks…" Bella said looking around at us.
"Her names Claire, dear." Esme told Bella.
"Oh!" Bella exclaimed.
"Are we going or not?" Emmet asked.
"We should get going before the mutts get mad." Edward said.
We all trooped outside and it was decided who was supposed to carry the ones without super speed.
"What about teleporting?" Claire asked.
"Teleporting?" Edward asked.
"Its dangerous." I muttered.
"How?" Claire tested.
"Because of the person that you escaped with Claire. Teleporting is like sending a flashing beacon telling him where we are." I said.
"Who are you-"
"Can we just drop it?" I snapped cutting Emmet off.
"OK." Emmet said wide-eyed.
It was decided that Edward would carry Bella, Rosalie would carry Claire, and Esme would carry me.
When we arrived at the meeting place, the wolves had not yet come.
"Wait, how are we supposed to keep the cambion secret from them?" I asked.
"We just don't answer their questions about how you can fight and etc." Edward supplied.
"OK." I shrugged along with everyone else.
Eventually, the pack arrived as oversized wolves.
"Edward, why are they not human?" Rosalie asked in annoyance.
"They don't trust us." Edward replied.
"Then why doesn't Sam just change so we can have a civil conversation?" I asked.
"I didn't know you were capable of having one, Lacey." Emmet joked.
"Shut up, tree man. At least I wasn't stupid enough to sit on a bear." I retorted.
At this Emmet glared at me and Bella started laughing with Alice, Esme, and Rosalie.
"Is Sam, I think thats the alpha, gonna change or not?" Jasper asked.
"He will, with Embry." Edward answered.
"Yay." I rolled my eyes.
A black wolf and one with gray fur and black spots, retreated into the forest to change.
In about one minute, a giant man I recognized as Sam Uley and Embry appeared wearing only cut-offs.
"Kvailas, bjaurus, kvailas, vidutinis, vilkolakisk, bėk iš kiemo!" Claire said stomping her foot and crossing her arms. (translation: Stupid, ugly, dumb, mean, werewolfs, go away!)
"I would love that, Claire, but we kinda need their help." I told her.
At this, Claire wrinkled her nose in annoyance.
"OK, first: when did you learn to speak…um, what is she speaking?" Embry asked.
"Lithuanian." I answered nonchalantly.
"Great, when did you learn to speak that and second: when did you learn about werewolves?" Embry asked.
"Ever since my cat died." I joked.
"I told you not to take your cat to europe." Jasper said.
"I know, I know, but half the time I don't listen to you, so are you really that surprised?" I asked.
"No, not really." Jasper shrugged.
"Anyway, I lied. I've known for a while. Now, who wants to explain whats going on in Seattle?" I asked looking at the Cullens.
"I'll explain." Carlisle volunteered.
He told them about everything that was going on, the newborns and stuff, I mean.
'"We'll help, under one condition." Sam said.
Edward growled at this and narrowed his eyes angrily.
"Which is?" Carlisle asked calmly.
"Lacey and Claire stay with me in La Push until the end of the war." Sam said.
"What? You can't be serious!" I exclaimed eyes wide.
"Thats our only condition." Sam said.
"I don't want to go live with them. I left Abyss to escape things like them, not live with them!" Claire complained to me.
"Claire, their not them. Those things live eighty hundred feet underground." I assured her.
"Lacey, she's only three, she doesn't understand how much eighty hundred feet is. Anyway, what are you talking about?" Embry demanded.
"Hey! Excuse me, but I understand how much eighty hundred feet is, šuo!" Claire exclaimed (translation: mutt).
"You know, I'm actually starting to feel kind of bad for Quil." Emmet said.
"Shut up." I growled.
"Wow, so scary!"
"Your really testing my patience right now, Emmet."
"Am I now?"
"Yes, you are."
"Emmet, I really think you should be quiet." Edward admonished.
"Why?" Emmet asked.
"Whose the mind reader here?" Edward asked.
"Right, um, yeah, I'll shut up." Emmet said quickly.
"Yeah, remember the time she tore my arm off?" Jasper asked.
"Hey! You really got on my nerves. I don't understand how you couldn't realize that your emotion thing only works on me half way, and let me tell you being on the receiving end of that is creepy and annoying." I said.
"Hello! Are we invisible?" Sam asked.
"Yes." I said causing Emmet to punch me.
"Ow!" I exclaimed, punching Emmet.
"OW! OK, that hurt!" Emmet exclaimed rubbing his arm.
"Excuse me!" Sam exclaimed.
"I apologize for my family, and Lacey, and Claire. You were saying?" Carlisle asked glaring at some of us *cough, cough* Emmet *cough, cough*.
"I told you, our only condition is that Lacey and Claire live at my house until the end of the war." Sam repeated.
"How about Claire only?" Alice asked.
"Alice, um don't you think that would end badly?" I asked.
Alice furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
I gave her Claire's hand and pressed Alice's pointed and middle finger to her wrist.
"Oh, right." Alice said as realization dawned on her.
"What about just Lacey?" Emmet asked.
"I hate you." I muttered.
"Their not going to let her fight." Edward said.
At this a sandy colored wolf, that looked remarkably like the one from my dream, whined.
"Wait, you were going to let Lacey fight?" Embry asked.
"Yes." I said.
"I was VERY opposed to the idea." Esme said.
"I wasn't! Hello, two children of the moon, one me, and I'm alive!" I exclaimed.
"Your cat isn't." Rosalie commented.
"I was eleven! Do you expect me to be a good fighter when I'm that young?" I asked.
"No," Rosalie admitted.
"Look, Claire and Lacey live with us, thats all we ask. Lacey can fight, either way." Sam said.
"Sam!" Embry exclaimed.
"Embry, if what she says is true, she's a capable fighter."
"She's fifteen."
"So is Seth." Edward supplied.
"Thats different. She can't turn into a giant wolf!" Embry exclaimed.
"So?"
"And she's afraid of fire."
All of us became silent.
"You know, for a moment there that entirely slipped my mind. I'm sure if I just don't look at it, I'll be fine." I pondered.
"It was about eight years ago." Edward said.
"Yeah…wait! You know how you planned on taking Bella into the mountains? What if I go too?" I asked.
"I like that idea." Embry said.
"No one asked you." I snapped.
Embry put his hands up in mock surrender.
"Thats a pretty good idea though." Bella agreed.
"Anyway, I'm sure Claire and Lacey would be fine with spending the time it takes to work out the war at your house." Carlisle said looking at me and Claire with a I-will-kill-you-if-you-say-anything glare.
Claire grimaced in distaste but didn't verbally say anything.
"We don't have clothes for Claire though." I said.
"Theres some at the house." Rosalie said.
Great, now I actually have to go live with stupid and see stupider everyday, I thought bitterly.
"Lacey!" Edward exclaimed.
"What? I didn't actually say it!" I exclaimed.
"I don't care!"
"Well, now I know whose Stupidest."
"Hey!"
I rolled my eyes as Edward just glared at me.
"OK, since Lacey and Claire need to get their stuff we'll meet back here in thirty minutes." Carlisle said.
"Alright." Sam said.
I hopped onto Esme's back and we were soon back at the big house.
"Edward, I know the reason why they would want Claire, but why me?" I asked as I packed the stuff I had thrown in the closet the night before.
Hm, I didn't remember doing it though.
"So that Claire didn't feel forced." Edward lied.
"Dude, I know your lying. Spill!" I demanded throwing a Pikachu pillow at him.
Due to him being a stupid vampire, he caught the pillow and looked at it quizzically.
"Why do we have this?" He asked aloud.
"I don't know, it probably belongs to Emmet. Now, tell me, what do you know?" I begged.
"No, its a secret." Edward said smugly.
"Ugh! When did you become a second Emmet?" I asked grabbing my fully packed bag and throwing it over my shoulder.
Edward rolled his eye and walked out the door with me right behind him.
In the living room, Claire was playing with a baby doll, a pink barbie bag at her side.
"Ar mes tikrai ketiname eiti gyventi su vilkolakis, Lacey?" Claire asked looking up at me with big innocent blue eyes. (translation: Are we really going to go live with vilkolakis, Lacey?)
"Taip, Claire. Galite jums patinka. Aš Pažadu." I sighed kneeling down looking her in the eyes. (translation: Yes, Claire. You'll like it though. I promise.)
"Ne, aš ne!" Claire insisted. (translation: No, I won't!)
"Būti kad taip tada! Ką aš rūpinuosi?" I asked. (translation: Be that way then! What do I care?)
"Atsiprašau, Lacey. Aš nenorėjau, garso savanaudis." Claire muttered playing with my dog tag necklace that hung from my neck. (translation: I'm sorry, Lacey. I didn't mean to sound bratty.)
"Ne, aš turėtų ne išpirko į tave kaip kad." I sighed running a hand through my hair. (translation: No, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that.)
Yeah, trying to understand cambions can just confuse you.
Rosalie then came down with Emmet and I realized it was time to leave.
This will be just FABULOUS! Note the sarcasm.
