Sofia's POV
I am so relieved that Lizzie is okay, after when Dad made the final checks with Ness, EJ and Liz he gave everyone the all clear which then everyone sprang into action to get our stuff sorted, as everyone was determined to get out of Port Angeles while Nahuel and the triplets are scanning the area, at least that when were gone the wolves will be here to protect the house in case they decide to start snooping, I managed to briefly speak to Jake of what the plan was going to be.
"Jake, how are you all going to possibly protect La Push, The Williams Residence, Bella and Edward's Cottage and The Cullen's Mansion?" Jake smiled at me reassuringly. "no worries Sofie, Myself and Leah will be protecting the Cullen's house, Quill and Seth will be protecting Bella and Edwards Cottage, Embry and Jared will be protecting the Williams's Cottage and the rest will be protecting LA push don't worry if they decide to come back we'll be ready for them!" I sighed in relief Jake gave me one armed hug, then I heard my mum calling my name. I rushed to see that she was in Bella and Edward's room with Bella and Esme the room was so grand and so.. Beautiful that I couldn't even describe it, there were suitcases already packed, and I could see that she was holding Aidan.
"Sweetheart could you take Aidan off me, don't worry you won't wake him he's out cold!" I smiled and toke my baby brother out of my mum's arms mom disappeared and it was just Bella in the room, I walked out of the room then walked back into Lizzie's room where the hybrids were Rose, Alice, Jazz and Emmett had gone to the main house with Edward, Zack and Chris and Carlisle. Annie had rushed over to me to see that I had Addy in my arms she hugged me and was watching Aidan sleep peacefully I noticed that everyone had changed into more suitable clothing for hiking. Nessie, Lizzie and Annie all had their hair tied up and were in dark blue skinny jeans and all casual tank tops and a jumper.
Mase just had high top trainers and a different jumper, I felt really odd now and I desperately wanted to change, Annie reached out her arms. While Nessie handed me some of her clothes. "I can see you wanted to change Sofie, give Aidan to Annie!" I nodded and did exactly that I felt much better but I still kept Masen's jumper on and my hair was in better nick I walked back into the room to see that mom, Bella and Esme had everybody's suitcase. "Okay guys everyone's suitcase is packed and ready to go, I just had a call off Alice and she says they will be here in 3 minutes! Make sure you've got everything and if you want to say your goodbyes Ness, EJ and Liz now is the time to do it!".
Everybody nodded I looked at my beautiful saviour as he smiled his side smile and left our brother and sisters to say their goodbyes to their wolves in private Annie, Myself and Mase were with everyone else and sat in the living area waiting for everyone to arrive with the cars, funny how these 3 minutes can feel like hours.
Mase had me sit on his lap and I leaned back resting the back of my head in the crook of Masen's neck, nobody said a thing, then all of my siblings came down the stairs they said their goodbyes as Ness and Liz had tears in their eyes, Bella then said that we'll see them very soon which I believe to be true, I noticed that Nessie, EJ and Liz were wearing similar charm necklaces they looked really nice I saw that Liz and Ness were also wearing charm bracelet in the same style, and worn beautiful silver bracelets, Ness had a beautiful ruby and Liz had gorgeous sapphire, they also worn a beautiful locket, EJ was wearing a really nice dog chain like the one that Mase was wearing.
after that Zack walked through the door he greeted everyone and said that everyone is outside he said that himself, Annie, Lilly, Chris and aidan are going to be in one car, Dad, Esme, Alice and Jasper in one, Edward, Bella, Nessie, Lizzie and EJ in one and Rose, Emmett, myself and Mase in one, my guess is that they didn't want to make it look suspicious and make it obvious that were gone so they left some of the cars.
Everyone nodded and sat in the cars that were assigned to sit in, Rose smiled at me and linked my arm as we made our way to Emmett's MASSIVE jeep, I guess for a big guy like him would need a monster machine, Emmett smiled at me and toke mine and Mase's luggage everyone hugged and said their goodbyes until we all reach Oregon Dad and Esme didn't want to fly and since we have a lot of time on our hands it would be a nice road trip. Rose the spoke
"How you feeling Sofie?" I like Rose, at first look you would think she wasn't nice but that's only because she's suffered something horrible and that's caused her to not trust people so easily. This isn't her fault but when you get to know her she's a really nice person. "I'm okay thanks Rose, just a little overwhelmed" Rose gave me a tight squeeze. "Just get some sleep sweetie, you'll feel much better!" With that said I yawned and nodded, Mase was already in the jeep so I followed suit and he smiled his beautiful smile and patted at the seat next to him, I buckled myself in and wrapped my arms around Mase. Emmett was already in the car.
"You all ready?" Mase laughed. "Just drive Emmy!" I smiled and before we knew it we was on the highway heading towards Oregon, I don't know when but at some point I felt myself drift off to sleep, I felt Mase kiss my forehead and whisper that he loved me.
Next thing I know I don't know how long I was asleep for but I felt somebody try to shake me awake, I growled I must have thought I was in bed because when I tried to roll over I ended up getting myself stuck with the seat belt which jolted me awake and I was highly disoriented and confused but that didn't do me any justice because Emmy and Mase were laughing their asses off at me! I glared at both of them and crossed my arms Mase managed to calm down.
"Morning sweetheart" Oh I don't think so. "Don't morning sweetheart me, where am I!" Emmy burst out laughing again along with everyone else I noticed that we was parked outside a very, very beautiful mansion, it was very similar to the one back in port angeles but the trees surround it so it's way more secluded and the forest looked more open it looked like the house wasn't even supposed to be built in here, but I must admit it was gorgeous. As I stopped admiring the house Rose answered my question.
"You're in Oregon sweetheart you slept the whole journey," I looked at Rose surprised whoa I didn't realise I was that tired. Before I could say anything Alice made her presence known. "COME ON SOFIE!, don't keep me waiting I've been very patient a makeover is overdue now come on missy!" now any other time I would have squirmed but since me and Alice and Rose haven't done any bonding time since I left I think it's only fair! So I smiled widely quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and jumped out the jeep, Alice squealed with excitement and gave me the biggest hug.
"I'd be glad too Alice, I've missed my big sisters make me look like a beautiful Barbie!" Alice giggled and called for the rest of the girls and said we all should have makeovers…. Not exactly the best reaction from Lizzie and Bella but they agreed anyway and soon enough I was in Alice's bedroom.
Masen's POV
OK what the hell just happened since when was Sofia up for Makeovers!, even Emmett noticed.
"Okay! I don't know what the hell Sofia was dreaming about but it must have changed her! Cause any other time she would have kicked up a fuss… do you think it was voodoo or something?" I'm sorry but I just had burst out and laugh where the hell does Emmett get all this stuff I'm serious he really should be 5 years old! His mentality does not sync with his actual age! At this point my dad made his presence known and he was laughing his head off which confused Emmett, Uncle Jazz, EJ, and Zack all made their presence known when they were just laughing at Emmett's reaction.
"What are you laughing at?" Dad was trying to compose himself. "It's… just something that Mase said! He says that your mentality is of a 5 year old rather than your actual age!" Emmett playfully glared at me and I just smiled wickedly back. "Oh you find that funny Masey! Lets just see if my mentality of a 5 year old comes handy in a wrestling match!" the competitiveness is burning inside me, I am known to be the third strongest since my momma is still strong. "Uncle Emmett, you are on!" all the boys were cheering, Jazz then started with the bets.
I heard him whisper to Zack and dad. "$200 that Mase kicks Emmett's ass!" Zack didn't look convinced. "I don't know have you seen the size of Emmett he's huge! He'd squish Mase easily I'm going to bet against you on this one!" I followed Emmett through the house, Chris, Lilly, Grandma and Grandpa were in the lounge area they asked what the fuss was all about and we explained that were having a wrestling match and they all followed us outside the girls was having their makeup session so they didn't know.
Aidan was screaming in happiness. "go Masey! Go Emmy!" I laughed at that I threw off my jumper and all was left was my grey sweats, Emmett did the same and his body was ripped as hell! I'm not saying that in a weird way either. Everybody was surrounding us in a big loose circle Emmett was on the far side of the yard, Grandpa was always the referee and always explained the rules.
"Okay guys remember this has to be a clean, fair fight, no using your gifts Masen, it's not fair on Emmett and Emmett no fighting dirty! You have to get your opponent down for at least 3 seconds for you to win" He just laughed with his arms crossed. "No worries… this won't take long!" I smiled cockily boy I am going to put you on your ass!, Dad shouted far behind me. "Don't be so sure Emm" Emmett snorted and soon we toke our positions. Grandpa then started to count down.
"3..2..1.. GO!" Soon myself and Emmett charged at each other like angry bulls, Em ran at me with full force he was going to try and tackle me down so when he got close I quickly dodged out of the way and punched his back it didn't hurt him obviously it just pissed him off more than anything and that's how it kept going for at least 20 minutes until Emmett nearly got a firm hold of me, everybody was shouting to rile us up more, I managed to escape his hold and then in a rush of adrenaline I actually blocked his moves and kicked him which caused him to fall on the floor as I tried to get a firm hold of him to stay on the floor it didn't work and he pushed me backwards luckily I didn't fall.
Em then came at me again and I jumped right and he turned round quickly and tried to slide tackle me, I jumped over him and then miraculously I managed to get him in a choke hold I used all of my strength so that he couldn't move, then grandpa counted down and soon I won, I let Emmett go but he wasn't having it. "Best out of 3! That was just luck!" I laughed this is how it always ends, I kick his ass and he whines like a baby, I just smiled in triumph but Zack opted to take him on which caused Emmett to focus his attention on him he laughed and nodded. "Okay then Zacky boy you're on!" Zack smiled and walked he toke his top off and was just In his jeans I stood next to dad and Jazz they smiled happily at me while I put my jumper back on.
"Well done Mase you were great!" I laughed dad wrapped an arm around my shoulder I did the same with him and wrapped an arm around Jazz as well. "Thanks dad, you know when your betting sometimes you can bet against me you know, there's never a guarantee I'm going to win and even if you did I wouldn't care you know!" Dad smiled his crooked smile. "Son, i know I could but I choose not to, I feel like it would be very wrong of me to bet against my own son! Even if you thought you might lose I would still place my bet on you! Cause you have great potential and you're a good fighter!" I smiled and hugged my dad.
"Thanks dad, I love you!" Dad smiled. "I love you too son!" I smiled and then my brother came up to me and tackled me to the floor, SERIOUSLY the floor gets more love from me, EJ and I laughed though. "EJ I knew you love me but this is taking it to an extreme were brother's man!" EJ playfully glared at me and punched my arm. "Don't flatter yourself little brother" I chuckled. "How you holding up bro… without Leah I mean?" EJ smiled and sighed. "Well I miss her of course I do but I know I'll see her in a couple of days which won't be too bad my heart will be in tact by then… I hope!" I smiled and wrapped an arm around my brother.
We both watched on at our family seeing everyone's smiling faces just made me realise just how much of a great family we are, 2 families have come together an standing up for what is about to happen in a couple of months' time, it just goes to show just how strong we are! And the sad events that has happened, mine and my siblings bond has been seriously tested ever since we started school but I'm just glad we are able to overcome them and move on and mine and Sofia's relationship is still going strong! I really, really am considering proposing to her at some point… not just yet though I'm going to wait until the battle is over.
After that thought I saw my dad clear his throat, I looked up and Dad was standing over me and EJ we both looked at each other and got up Dad looked a little concerned
what's the matter dad?
He nodded his head towards the forest I was puzzled but followed him, EJ decided to stay and watch the match between Zack and Emmett continue. My dad wasn't speaking to me, he didn't even turn round to check if I was still there until we stopped he turned round and spoke. "Okay Mase I'm going to say this calmly okay.. But.. Did I hear correctly in your thoughts that you were thinking of proposing to Sofia?" Uh-oh! SHIT! Oh well may as well be honest Mase.
"Yeah dad!.. Look I know this seem rash.. But it's not! It seems to fit, I know I haven't known her long dad but… it seems like I've known her my whole life, the feelings I have for her are so deep that I will never love another girl! Dad when I look at her I see a future with her! Having our own place, us married …. Having a child! I love her so much! That it would kill me if she ever left, my life is nothing without her!" When I finished speaking my dad's poker face was on but he let a smile escape him.
"You are so much like me son! But the only thing that concerns me mase… is that… there might be a possibility that Sofia may never have kids, if half of her body is frozen then I don't think she can conceive … But.. I admit I love Sofia like she was my own, and you have my blessing mase!" I smiled so wide that I don't think it was possible to smile I am so happy that my dad is allowing me to get married. I gave him the biggest hug ever!.
"Thank you so much dad!" Dad laughed "but there is something I would like to suggest!" I stopped. "What?", "Well from the era I was brought up in if you were to propose it was the utmost important thing to ask the father's permission to get married, so I think it would be good to run this by Lilly and Chris.. and probably your grandparents!" I gulped in fear what if they say no! I took a deep breath. "But Mase it doesn't have to be now, don't stress yourself out!" I sighed in relief oh thank god.
"Wait dad why have you made it so easy for me to say yes to marriage? Wait you're going to be tough on Seth and Jake aren't you when they run this by you?" I couldn't help but laugh as dad smiled evilly. "I don't know what you mean Mase!" I couldn't stop laughing and soon me and dad walked back but I was glad I had this talk with Dad, I can't believe I'm going to make the brave step and ask Sofia to marry me! When I do I want to make sure it's the best proposal ever! I'm really going to have to think about this.. But I won't think about it too much yet because I want to wait till after the fight.
BUT this clearly didn't comprehend with Alice when she saw me she literally screamed with joy, I know what she saw and she jumped into my arms. "Oh my god Mase you have GOT to let me help you!" My eyes widened when everyone was staring SHIT! Thanks to dad he calmed her down.
"Alice, just wait okay!" Grandpa then asked. "What is she on about Edward?, help with what Alice?" I gulped. "Oh just a shopping trip!" They seemed confused but they didn't call us on it, I think they knew she was lying but just figured it was best to not get into it, I scanned the yard and I caught sight of my beautiful angel that would hopefully be my wife, she looked absolutely breath taking her hair was in very loose waves, her face was just of a goddess like the goddess Athena she smiled at me and shown her beautiful white pearly teeth I was so transfixed by her that I couldn't even put one foot in front of the other, the way that she walked was so graceful whenever she walked her hair would blow back creating her own wind she just looked amazing and I felt lucky that she was mine! And mine forever!.
I smiled when she was in my grasp. "Hey you!" Sofie giggled. "Hey you! So what do you think?" what do I think? There's no words to describe a goddess like you!. "You look.. breath taking sweetheart!" Sofie's cheeks became bright red and she smiled at me, I reached out and stroked her cheek she leaned her face onto my hand and closed her eyes and smiled.
"I love you my sofie bell!" Sofie smiled and opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around me and tiptoed a little and kissed my lips softly, I pecked her cheeks and her nose, forehead and her hand she giggled, "It would seem like this is the first time you saw me in 10 years rather than an hour!" I laughed softly. "Well I missed you, an hour is a very long time!" Sofie giggled and we were just hugging each other I nuzzled into her neck and inhaled her intoxicating scent that I love, ah this is paradise, I looked around and I noticed that everyone was gone… guess that everyone decided to give us a private moment and right now I was hungry and my throat was burning a good time to have a hunt with just myself and my angel.
"Sweetheart sorry to cut this short but do you fancy going hunting?" Sofie clutched her throat even I mentioned the word. She nodded vigoursly. "Looks like were hunting!" I laughed and hand in hand me and Sofie were hunting my guess that everyone heard as we wasn't out of ear shot! I've never been anywhere outside Port Angeles so it would be interesting what animals were going to find here, the weather is always the same really rainy and grey just the way we like it. Me and Sofie caught scent of a few grizzlies, they weren't fully grown but they weren't babies either so I thought it was fair to get them first Sofie somehow managed to get the bigger one and soon enough me and Sofie hunted down some lions and some deer we were now satisfied and not a drop of blood on me! I'm really getting the hang of it.
Soon enough me and Sofie arrived back at the house and everyone was gathered around the lounge but it seemed like we interrupted something as they all stared at us both, but they all had knowing looks, oh god I think my dad told, I looked at him and he had a guilty look on his face.. well in this family we don't keep secrets merh was going to come out anyway just as long they don't tell Sofia I'm happy! Least then I don't have to act suspiciously around them now.
*OMG IS IT TRUE THAT SOFIA IS GOING TO BE OUR SISTER IN LAW!*-Nessie
*Ha-ha, hopefully! If she says yes anyway!*-Mase
*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OMG! This is amazing! And I know for a fact that she will say yes Masen trust me I've saw!*- Annie
*EEEE! OMG Annie you're going to be my sister in law as well! I can't wait, we are so going to be bridesmaids!*-Lizzie
*Congrats Bro!*-EJ
*Ha ha, thanks bro though I haven't told her yet! I just hope you lot can keep a secret until I tell her! I've got something special lined up for when I propose! And Lizzie, Nessie if Sofia asks you two to be bridesmaids then yes! But just don't get your hopes up if she doesn't want any ok?*-Mase
*Sure that seems fair but It would be amazing if we were, awe my little brother is growing up! I'm so proud of you Masen!*-Nessie
*FINE! But I know she will ask us!*-Lizzie
*Hey! I am grown up… but thanks sis!*-Mase
*I'm just so excited!, the day is just going to be so beautiful!*-Annie
I couldn't help but smile after that, that was when everyone just smiled and Lilly and Chris were just beaming at me, I could tell that they wanted to speak to me so Lizzie and Ness taken Sofie away saying that they wanted to talk to her When Lilly and Chris walked over.
"Mase can we have a word with you in private?" I smiled and nodded, I went in the other room and sat down Lilly smiled happily and hugged me. "Ok Mase I think you can guess by now what we want to talk to you about?" I smiled and nodded Chris was taking this father role really well it was like he was made to be a father. "Yes, I know perfectly well, am I right in thinking that I've got your blessing?, I mean I can reassure you both that I would never leave Sofia! I love her way, way too much to do something like that! My feelings for her are so deep; I love your daughter more than anything!" Lilly smiled widely as did Chris.
"We never doubted for a second mase and yes you do have our blessing, I'm really happy for you Masen." I smiled widely and hugged them both this is amazing. "I'm going to be your son in law!" They both laughed. "Sounds good to me! I have no doubt at all that Sofia will say yes! You two are made for each other!" I blushed a little bit and when the conversation was done we all greeted everyone else I sat in between momma and rose momma smiled lovingly at me knowing she was happy for me and soon Sofie and my sisters walked back in they were smiling at everyone and conversation soon started it was like a massive family gathering.
I smiled on as I watched Aidan playing with Uncle Emmett and Uncle Jasper, but I can't stop thinking when the battle will take place and what if someone gets hurt, or someone dies, everyone was happy, everyone was laughing and everyone was in their own little worlds, the room was just filled with happiness, laughter and relief…. For now.
