In This Life
Chapter 34
The next few weeks flew in, Edward and Harry continued to ignore Bella Swan but for Harry it was getting more and more tiresome. However, Edward was used to obsessing girls, but never to this extent. Even Carlisle was surprised at how much she was obsessing, but all they could do was avoid her and hope she stopped.
Over that next few weeks Bella always had her phone out constantly, what the Cullen's didn't realize was she was taking pictures of them - not texting or calling people. She had the phone on silent so no one would know what she was doing, including the Cullen's. As soon as school ended she would run home, download all the pictures she had taken and print them out. She photo shopped some of them, putting her and Edward together instead of Harry and Edward.
She had filled a photo album of them together, and was now resorting to using the inside of her cupboard. Every night she would constantly ask questions about the Cullen's, which Charlie was more than happy to talk about. He seemed to really like the Cullen's which made Bella really happy.
"How was school today?" asked Charlie as Bella gave him his dinner.
"Great!" beamed Bella happily.
"You're mother is worried about you, you haven't replied to her E-mails for a fortnight" said Charlie looking disapproving.
"I completely forgot" gasped Bella.
"Well let her know you are alright" sighed Charlie; she had been calling him at work nearly every day wanting to know how her daughter was. He was getting fed up with it to be honest he was meant to be working not talking to Renee. One thing he did take seriously was his job that much was obvious.
"Jake wants to come down to see you" said Charlie.
"Jake?" frowned Bella confused.
"Billy Black's son! He was here the first day you came home" said Charlie frowning.
"Oh" said Bella, she had forgotten about him, much like all her other memories of him as a child.
"So?" asked Charlie.
"What?" asked Bella frowning.
"Would you like to see him?" asked Charlie.
"I guess" said Bella.
"Good I'll have him come down soon," said Charlie. Perhaps it would help her get over her crush on one of the Cullen boys. Oh he knew she liked one of them he wasn't stupid, and he knew they were all taken. If only he knew just how obsessed his daughter had become he would have done more.
"Ok" said Bella.

"Can you tell me if the Black Manor is habited?" asked Remus. He had been going around to every manor the Black's had trying to find his best friend; he had finally taken sides and decided he would rather have Sirius back. He could no longer kid himself into thinking James was under stress or not himself. He was currently on the Reservation or that's what it said, Remus was currently walking trying to find sight of any life in this place.
"You're a shape shifter" replied a surprised Sam.
"How do you know?" asked Remus wearily was this man magical? His eyes were a dead giveaway. Remus wasn't transforming for another two weeks so his sense of smell wasn't exactly
"I can smell it but it smells strange to me…different somehow" frowned Sam.
"I'm a moon wolf" said Remus hoping the man would answer his question.
"Really? I'm the Alpha of the shape shifters" said Sam holding his hand out.
"It's nice to meet you" grinned Remus, they must be wolf shifters then or they wouldn't be welcoming on him.
"You as well" said Sam kindly.
"Have you seen Sirius Black around?" asked Remus kindly.
"Yes he moved into Black manor along with three other people, one of who's dating a vampire" snarled Sam.
"What do you have against vampires?" frowned Remus, most of them took potions to stop blood thirst why the animosity? He didn't understand that.
"We were created to protect people from the blood suckers you don't know much do you?" frowned Sam.
"I see" said Remus this whole new world he knew nothing about was intriguing to say the least. He hadn't been aware shape shifters had the ability to catch and kill Vampires…did they kill them ruthlessly? He wasn't sure he liked that.
"This vampire has he hurt anyone?" asked Remus worried that Sirius might be in danger.
"Oh no they drink animal blood, we cannot touch them we created a treaty" said Sam sticking his nose in the air telling Remus exactly what he thought of the treaty.
"Not many vampires would do that…why are you so against them? Something personal?" asked Remus.
"Not that its any of you're business but they are the reason I transformed" said Sam angrily.
"Excuse me?" frowned Remus.
"When a vampire moves into town a fever is set of in us with the wolf gene and we become shape shifters" explained Sam.
"I see well that's hardly their fault its just bad luck" said Remus.
"We were made to hate them" hissed Sam trying to hold onto his hate for them.
"No you were made to protect residence from rouge vampires" said Remus.
"They are still vampires!" said Sam trying to convince him.
"Not by choice, they are doing what they do to survive plus they are doing the honourable thing that should make you surprised and happy with that" said Remus.
"They might loose control" said Sam who couldn't believe he was standing here arguing with a stranger about vampires. He also couldn't believe this werewolf was not agreeing with him that was all new to him to say the least.
"But they haven't and if Sirius is with them they wont ever have to worry about that" said Remus smirking.
"What do you mean?" frowned Sam.
"Just let me talk to my friend first before I reveal anything" said Remus "It is their secret too"
"Do you have some sort of thing to stop blood lust?" demanded Sam.
"Just let me talk to them first, it was very nice meeting you I will come back and talk more…if that's alright with you?" asked Remus.
"Very well" said Sam shaking Remus' hand, writing his address and pointing in the general direction of which cabin he stayed in. Not that Remus would need it soon, he had the man's scent he could smell him anywhere - maybe not when he was in wolf form he would just have to wait and find out.
"Bye" said Remus quickly making his way in the direction of Black Manor. He had finally found his friend, he wondered who else he had with him - he was curious to know who the other three inhabitants were.
"I hope you forgive me Sirius" sighed Remus still walking, his friend had hardly spoken ten words to him in the past god knows how many years. He just hoped he hadn't ruined their friendship beyond repair.
He had just simply thought if he didn't choose he would keep what was left of his pack. He had already lost Harry and he would be damned if he lost them all, which he had at the end of the day. However, he had chosen his side and it was time to let his best friend know.
It wasn't long before he was knocking on the door to Black manor.
"Can I help you?" asked Harry swinging the door open.
"Harry?" croaked Remus recognizing him immediately.
The door was slammed in Remus' face and he heard Harry crying for Sirius fearfully.
Sirius and surprisingly one Severus Snape answered the door with their wands at the ready, quickly realizing what was happening he put his hands up in surrender to show he wasn't up to anything.
"Oblivi…" snarled Severus ready to curse Remus into oblivion.
"I was here for Sirius not Harry! I promise! He's my cub I would never hurt him" shouted Remus quickly closing his eyes and praying they wouldn't finish that spell. Oh he knew now what they were doing; they were protecting Harry from everyone in the Wizarding world. From his parents, Dumbledore, Voldemort anyone else wishing to harm him or use him, and Remus couldn't blame them in the slightest.
For if it came to it he would do the exact same thing.
"Why should we trust you?" sneered Severus.
Sirius just stood there letting him rip into Remus not saying a word, the tables were turned.
"You're the potions master use Veritaserum if you have to" said Remus seriously.
"Give him a chance" sighed Sirius - he would like his best friend back.
"Get in" hissed Severus.
That's exactly what Remus did; he found the Vampire Sam had been talking about with Harry. He had amber eyes, so it was true they did feed off animals, he silently wondered about the contents of the treaty.
He saw the vampire cock his head to the side as if he could hear everything Remus was thinking.
Will Bella try and kill Harry? or will it be Voldemort or Dumbledore? will he be turned? or will edward loose the love of his life after all this time searching for his chosen mate? will Bella get caught? R&R plz
