Sorry it took a while to post this chapter. I hope you like it!
Edward looked down at Tammy's tear streaking face. "What are the Cullens doing here? Where's Alice, Jasper…and Bella?" Then Edward heard a deep voice in her head say "The Cullens are cold ones."
"I was afraid of this." Edward turned to his family said "She knows. She knows about us."
They all gave a shocked face except for Carlisle. He nodded and bent down to her, asking "Are you alright?"
Tammy nodded "Yeah," she sniffed and wiped her tears. "How does Edward know that I know?"
Edward bent down in front of Tammy "It's going to be ok. I promise." He whispered. "We'll explain everything later ok?" "How could this have happened?"
"How could so much drama happen in one night?" Tammy thought to herself.
"A lot…Sigh. There's no point in hiding this now." "I agree." Edward whispered and Tammy gave him a questionable look.
"We have to tell her don't we?" asked Rosalie in frustration.
Edward turned to Rosalie and nodded his head. "There's no point in hiding it anymore."
Rosalie sighed deeply and rolled her eyes "Great just great! ANOTHER human part of our lives now!"
"There's no time to talk about this now. We have to get moving." Replied Carlisle. "Rosalie and I will take Tammy back to our place. I'll be back here to join you. Rosalie can watch over her."
"I'm going to do what?" asked Rosalie. She was really surprised by this "Carlisle can't be serious!"
Emmett pouted "Rose get's to have all the fun."
"The poor dear. She must be so scared and confused. I hope Rosalie doesn't bring down her spirits more." Thought Esme.
"Not now Rosalie, we need to protect her too. Come on." Carlisle picked Tammy up bride style and ran.
"Rosalie you better be on your BEST behavior to her or else!" Esme said firmly. "I know how she could be around humans-especially Bella and she has no right to act that way."
Rosalie groaned and followed Carlisle. "I hate you Edward!"
"What else is new Rose?" muttered Edward rolling his eyes and shaking his head.
"Rosalie is so lucky." Muttered Emmett. "I'd have a lot of fun with her. She would be my new target… Ah but no one is as fun as Bella- which reminds me… I still have to plan that new prank on her." A big smile came across Emmett's face as he thought of his new prank to torcher Bella.
Edward who was not in the mood to hear Emmett's new miscivious plot to punk Bella, shouted "Right now is not the best time to be thinking of that Emmett."
Emmett sighed "You're no fun Edward."
Esme looked at her son. "None of this is your fault Edward. Don't blame yourself."
"That's not how I see it. I'm not even sure how she found out!" sighed Edward.
"You didn't see it in her mind?" asked Emmett still a little mad Edward for ruining his mood.
"No. She was confused with everything. How we found her. How I knew that she knew about us. She wondered where Bella, Jasper and Alice were….but then there was something else. A deep voice telling her that we are 'The cold ones'."
"She seems to be really upset about something. Did you see anything like that in her mind?" Esme was really worried about her.
Edward shook his head "No." "I wonder if it had anything to deal with her Aunt and Uncle….I hope they didn't hurt her." He clenched his fist hard. He sighed "There's no time to be worrying about this now. We should get moving."
Esme and Emmett nodded and they continued with their plan knowing Carlisle will catch up to them in no time. Edward tried to push his thoughts out of the way but he was greatly worried about both Bella and Tammy. Bella for her safety and Tammy for being with Rosalie while in her delicate condition. "We really should've let Emmett watch over Tammy." Edward thought to himself.
*At The Cullen House*
When they go to the house Carlisle checked Tammy out for any injuries while she sat on the couch. He found a little piece of her jeans were torn, revealing a scrape on her knee. He smiled "Just a scrape but you'll be ok. Rosalie will take care of your for now. My wife will be here to join later. We have some… trouble to deal with right now."
"Ok," Tammy hesitated "Is Bella the one in trouble?"
Carlisle nodded his head "Yes, someone is after Bella. We have to keep her safe. Alice saw you in danger and we have to keep you safe too-just being out there is dangerous for you."
Tammy's eyes widened "Alice saw me?" "So she's physic?"
"Yes, she can see the future. I know you have lots of questions and we'll discuss this with you as soon as this Bella is safe to come back." Said Carlisle. He was surprised to see that Tammy wasn't at all concerned that she was at risk being in danger.
"Oh yeah. Sorry, I'll let you go so you can meet up with the others again." Tammy apologized. She forgot all about the danger out there. Carlisle needed to get back to help the others. She felt guilty that it was because of her that Rosalie was here and not helping her family.
Carlisle smiled "You'll be safe with us." He put a hand her shoulder and Tammy smiled back at him. Carlisle turned to Rosalie. "Now I expect you to obey Esme's request and be on your best behavior. I don't want to come back and find her more miserable."
Rosalie sighed "Yes Carlisle, I'll be nice to her."
"Alright, I'm trusting you." And with that Carlisle left so quickly without another word.
When Carlisle left, Rosalie and Tammy glanced at each other. It was an uncomfortable silence in the room- more uncomfortable for Tammy than Rosalie. Rosalie glared at Tammy "I can't believe that they want me to babysit a human! Seriously what was Carlisle thinking?" Rosalie stepped a little closer to Tammy. Forgetting her orders from Carlisle and Esme, she narrowed her eyes and asked angrily. "So…Edward says you know about us is that true?"
Tammy was a little scared. Not because she knows Rosalie is a vampire but just Rosalie's hostile attitude scared her. "About you being vampires? Yes.."
"Now another human knows! I bet now you'll want to become like one of us right? So you can live forever with Edward or just to become beautiful like me right?" asked Rosalie. "Because that's all we need is another one!"
Tammy shook her head "No,"
Rosalie was startled by Tammy's answer "You don't want to be like us?"
Tammy shook her head "No, why would I?"
"You don't want to be beautiful, stay young and live with Edward forever?" asked Rosalie sitting down on the couch with Tammy.
"No. I know I'm not beautiful and part of me wishes that I were but I was born like this and I'm ok with that. I don't think I want to stay seventeen for the rest of my life." She looked down at herself. She was completely soaked from head to toe and her hair clung to her neck. "Especially if I have to look like this for eternity." She gestured to herself.
She and Rosalie both laughed. Rosalie smiled "Yeah…no offence, but you don't look so great." She poked at a piece of Tammy's damped hair.
"I don't feel so great either." Replied Tammy making a face. "The cramps must be kicking in."
"What's wrong?" asked Rosalie. She didn't know why but she somehow felt concern for her. But with her sense of smell, she smelt something different. "Blood? But how? Carlisle said she's fine…unless…"
"I'm ok….It's just that…I started my period today." Tammy replied sheepishly.
Rosalie made a face and she rolled her eyes. "I remember how much I hated that. That is the one thing I can honestly say I hated about being human. The cramps and hormones going crazy…"
"Feeling awful and drained… and men think they have it rough! Ha!" said Tammy.
"I think I'm going to like this human." Rosalie smirked "I agree! Emmett, Edward and Jasper think they're all that. I would love to see them go through that one day. I know they wouldn't make it."
Tammy laughed "That'll be something."
Rosalie laughed too. A thought came to her and she asked "So…what do you think about Edward?"
Tammy shrugged "He seems like a troubled guy-vampire I mean. He seems to struggle with his emotions sometimes but I think beneath his serious mask, he can be cool."
Rosalie was impressed. Tammy seemed to know Edward even though they hardly spent any time together. "Do you like him?" "She probably does. And she probably sees Jasper the same…I will kill her if she feels that way about Emmett. He's mine!"
Tammy shook her head "Nope. He's attractive but I don't feel anything towards him¸ or Jasper or Emmett."
"She doesn't have any feelings for him, Emmett or Jasper?" "Edward was right. You are unlike any human we've ever met before- other than Bella I guess." She rolled her eyes when she mentioned Bella's name.
"I'm assuming you don't like Bella." Suggested Tammy.
"Nope," Rosalie said calmly. Then she asked "What do you think of me?"
Tammy looked at Rosalie. "Well you are very beautiful. More beautiful than Alice- Alice has her own way of being beautiful- but you look like you belong on one of those Victoria Secret model magazines. You do seem to have a snobbish, hostile attitude but you can also be nice when you want to be."
"Does my snobbish hostile attitude bother you?" asked Rosalie. "I bet she'll lie. Most humans do- plus she was scared of me earlier."
"No, not really. I mean you're being who you are. You're honest unlike most people. I think you're not shy about your opinions."
"You seemed to be scared of me and my family a few minutes ago. Are you scared we'll eat you?"
"I was scared because of.. something I saw earlier. I was surprised to see you and your family out in the forest. I was a little scared of you earlier but it was because of your hostile attitude." Replied Tammy.
Rosalie was more impressed by her and she admired her honesty. Tammy wasn't afraid of telling her opinions either but she figured Tammy probably told her opinions in a nicer way than she did. Most humans would've lied and were afraid of the Cullens because of the way they look so dangerous.
"Why don't you like Bella-if you don't mind me asking." Tammy curiously asked. "Bella seems like a nice person. I know she and Alice got along great when Bella lightened up her mood."
Rosalie shrugged her perfect shoulders "Oh I strongly dislike her for a few reasons- one being she's human."
A light bulb went on in Tammy's head "Ah, Rosalie is jealous. She wants to be human too. I guess being a vampire was not her choice." Rosalie looked at Tammy who nodded her head to continue.
"Another reason is that she's just full of trouble." Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Stupid good for nothing humans.." But then she stopped her train of thought.
"How so?"
Rosalie continued and her voice got more and more annoyed and angrier "Well you see earlier tonight we were playing a game of baseball. Bella of course just had to come because Alice just had to invite her because she is Edward's mate. Well Bella couldn't play-not like she could with us and our strength and speed- well Alice saw these other vampires coming our way because they heard us playing. It was too late for Edward and Bella to leave so Edward told her to pull down her hair to keep her scent down- like that would've helped. Well of course it wasn't long before their leader James smelled Bella's stupid scent and now that triggered some sort of hunting game and we just all have to protect Bella since she is somehow part of this family- even though she's not! And we were trying to throw him off when we found you…" Rosalie stopped her story and looked at Tammy. "Oh…sorry about that."
"So am I. I guess I'm only getting in your way too." replied Tammy. She looked down at herself. Her clothes were still wet and they clung to her body. Her hair was starting to dry up. "I guess I should go then. It's keeping you away from helping your family out and I'm being a bother." She got up from her place on the couch.
"Oh great, my big mouth did it again." Rosalie got up "No, stay here. Carlisle and the others would kill me if I let you go out there. You're only putting yourself in danger. It's not like he's after you any way. It's just safer if you stayed. That's what Edward was thinking." She looked down at Tammy's clothes. "We should really get you out of those clothes. Esme would be mad at me if I let you catch a cold. Also you're not that much trouble. I rather be doing this than helping them with Bella. Trust me." She grabbed Tammy's arm and dragged her upstairs to the bathroom.
So...what do you think? Working on the next chapter so as always, I hope it'll be quicker.
