Chapter 4
The next morning we were rushing around trying to get ready and get out the door.
"After school you should take me to the closest dealership so I can get us some decent cars," Jasmine laughed after experiencing the drive in the old Chevy.
"Sounds good, but you don't have to get one for me," I chuckled along.
"The one trust fund-"
"You have access to is more than enough for one life time and you still have two others to support you later in life," I interrupted having heard this speech more than once.
"Exactly, so we'll go pick out a new car for each of us and then return this piece of junk," Jasmine said in her tone that told me she wasn't going to take no for answer. I just laughed and agreed.
After getting her schedule I realized she must have pulled some strings as she had the same exact schedule as me.
First period was fine but second was when we had Rose in class and I could still sense the tension between the two. I chatted with both and they were polite but I could tell they were both happy to leave the other after class was over. It seemed to go the same way with Jasper during third period and Emmett during fourth.
Lunch was a whole different ball game. We sat with Angela, Jessica, Mike, and the rest of them while the Cullen's sat at their table. I pointed out to Jasmine who Edward and Alice were as she hadn't met them and mentioned that Edward was in our next class with us. I think they were having a staring contest or something as they both looked to each other but not even a minute later Jasmine was right back to her conversation with Angela about Jake and his friends.
I was very surprised to see that Edward wasn't in class today when we made it to fifth period. He seemed fine at lunch but I can't complain as he really creeps me out. For the most part we paid attention but it was hard to focus as we had learned all this back in Phoenix and I had so many questions starting to form about what was going on between Jasmine and the Cullen's. Having known Jasmine since we were kids, I thought for sure she would like the Jasper and Rosalie at the very least but she seemed to hate them on site and the feeling seemed mutual. I wonder if they are jealous?
We made it to gym and as I had been, I walked over to talk with Jasper and Emmett before the coach had us start training for the fitness test. Jasmine surprised me by walking over to talk with Mike and Jessica. I was bummed because I thought by giving them more time to talk they would all start to get along. Jasmine just smiled at me but never joined.
Coach had us do almost everything, or at least that's the way it felt. We were running, then did some sit ups and squats. Coach told us the schedule for the rest of the week. We would do the same as today on Wednesday and Friday while tomorrow and Thursday we would focus on our arms lifting weights and such, but we would run every day as a warm up. I really hate gym.
Finding the right car for each of us wasn't as difficult as I anticipated. Since I like trucks I picked out a new Silver Chevy while Jasmine picked out the latest Camaro in dark blue. Of course we made sure they had all the options. Jasmine made arrangements for the dealership to drop off my truck since we had decided to head to return the Black's truck.
"Can I help you?" a man in a wheelchair answered the door. I had gotten the Black's address from Angela since she's dating Jacob.
"I'm Bella Swan," I smiled at who I assume is Billy Black.
"Bella how are you?" the guy asked. "I haven't seen you since you were really little."
"I'm good. This is my friend Jasmine," I gestured. "I wanted to return the truck to you. I appreciate you letting me use it until I was able to get one up here."
"You are more than welcome," he said tossing the keys on a side table.
"Bella, what are you doing here?" I turned around to see Angela walking up with Jake and some of his friends.
"Just dropping off the truck," Billy said goodbye as Jasmine and I walked to chat with the others. "Jasmine and I went to pick out new vehicles after school."
"Who's sweet car is this?" One of the boys asked. I couldn't quite remember all of their names, but I did remember meeting them at the beach the other day.
"That's mine," Jasmine spoke up. When the guy looked up he just stared at her like she was the only person in the world.
"Hi, I'm Paul," staring boy smiled and moved closer.
"I'm Jasmine," I had never seen my friend look so serene as she did in this moment. "It's nice to finally meet you."
I was a little confused by that and more so by Jasmine just walking away with Paul.
"Don't worry, your friend will be fine," the oldest looking boy said, I think it was Sam.
"I know what you are," I decided to get that out of the way immediately.
"How?" Paul looked very confused. "Did Angela tell Bella? If so I'll kill Jake."
"No, B doesn't know about any of this yet," I sighed. I knew it was going to be soon, sooner than I would like because she'll be in danger not only from the knowledge about those around her but also by who and what she is. "I'm sure you can smell there's a slight difference in my scent from a normal human and Bella has this smell to a lesser degree as well. I'm Fae and B is part Fae."
"You're a fairy?" I could hear the skepticism.
"Yes I am," I waited a minute for him to wrap his head around this. "Fairy's normally stay away from all other supernatural creatures and only interact with humans a bit more. Most of the time when a fairy interacts with a human its for pleasurable purposes."
"You mean sex," Paul was blunt.
"Yes I mean sex," I smiled.
"Have you…." Paul started to ask but trailed off.
"No, never," the smile he sent my way at my answer made my insides quiver. "One thing you have to know though is I will always protect Bella no matter what. I may look like an ordinary human but I do have some tricks up my sleeve."
"Why do I get the feeling this is going to cause problems for me?"
"Paul, as my mate, I will always take into consideration how you would feel about things, but Bella is my sister, biological even though she doesn't know it yet, so I will also make sure she is safe as well," he just stood there before nodding and grabbling my hand. "Please don't tell anyone yet. Bella has her own path to follow and knowing about her true heritage will only make things more difficult and dangerous for her right now."
"I won't share, but you should now while in wolf form all our thoughts are shared," Paul gave me fair warning.
"I understand, all I can ask of you is to try and not think about Bella and her true link to me when you are phased," he smiled so I knew he would do his best. "Why don't we head back now? I'm sure B is confused."
"What are you going to tell her?"
"I'll tell her I felt a connection to you the minute I laid eyes on you," I smiled. "She'll believe me as she's recently experienced something similar."
"Hey where'd you guys go?" Bella ran up as soon as she saw us.
"We were just talking and getting to know each other," I smiled. "I couldn't resist finding out why I felt drawn to him. It's much like you were explaining to me about why you wanted to move up here."
"I hope it works out for you," Bella hugged me. "We should probably head home."
"Paul, I'll see you later," I gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek. He of course tightened his arms around me when I tried to move back and gave me a real kiss and damn can my wolf kiss.
"See ya later babe," Paul smirked at my dazed look.
"So," Bella gave me the look that said tell all as soon as we drove away.
"It's just like I said," I couldn't help but sigh a little. "I looked at him and just knew he was someone that would be in my life forever."
"Well by that kiss, I think he's feeling the same way," Bella chuckled.
"Hey girls," Charlie greeted us as we walked in. "What's so funny Bells?"
"Nothing dad," the smile never left Bella's face as she moved to start supper. I just shook my head at Charlie's questioning look and head upstairs with our things.
That night after Bella was asleep I headed downstairs. I knew Paul was going to show up and I suspected that Rosalie or Jasper would as well. I can only hope we don't wake Bella up otherwise shit is going to hit the fan.
"Hey babe," I smiled when I heard Paul.
"Hi," I was happy to finally have found my mate. I knew my mate wouldn't be of the Fae and that pissed my parents off. I can't wait for dad to find out about Bella's connection to vampires. That'll really set things off.
"What's that smile for?"
"Just thinking about the future family drama."
"What are you doing here Fairy," I heard the bell like vampire voice.
"You are not welcome here leech," Paul growled while trying to move me behind him.
"Listen dog," Rosalie sneered. "We are move welcome than you are!"
"How about all of you shut it before Bella wakes up," I interrupted. "Now, to answer your question vampire, I'm here because this is where Bella is. I won't leave her unprotected. Ever."
"And who does she need protection from?" Jasper demanded. I should have known they would both show. I just don't know how they are connected to Bella, yet.
"Why does it matter to you?" I countered.
"She's our mom!" Rosalie snarled.
"Excuse me?" I now knew the connection and also knew that they would do anything to make sure she stayed safe. I would bet they would place her before their mates since having a parent for eternity is not something many vampires find.
"We felt the bond form the minute we laid eyes on her," Jasper confirmed.
"What exactly does this mean?" Paul asked.
"It means we all get to play nice," I sighed. Being mated to a shape shifter and making nice with vampires, so not what anyone at the Fae Court would have expected from me.
"Why are you here dog?" It was obvious Rosalie didn't like the idea of being nice to Paul or me for that matter.
"I'm here for my mate," Paul announced.
"Bella is not your mate," Rosalie lunged but Jasper held her back.
"He's not speaking of mom," Jasper tried to calm his sister. "He's speaking of the Fairy."
"What is going on?" All four of us turned to the newcomer to our discussion. I really wasn't surprised to see her standing there waiting for an answer.
A/N: Sorry it's taken so long for an update. I've worked on this chapter off and on since the last one was posted but never had a big enough burst of inspiration to keep writing. I love to read your thoughts and ideas about what is happening and what you think will happen.
