Chapter Five: Lunch Fight
(Embry's POV)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Twilight Saga, all characters, except Marie, belongs to her.
The pack was gathered at Sam and Emily's house in the afternoon after everyone had some sleep. The guys smirked at me as I walked in behind Jake. Apparently everyone knew what happened with me and Marie, and Quil had a suspicious smile on his face. He had told everyone.
"So what did happen last night, Embry?" Sam asked as Emily came to give me a muffin.
"She explained to me what a 'custos amator' is," I told him taking a bite of the muffin. "Thanks, Emily, this is good."
"What is it?" Sam pressed.
"It's Latin for guardian lover and it's stronger than an imprint. We both can feel the pull," I told them. "Meaning that Jake you have to leave Bella alone."
Jake turned toward me angry and fist curled, he didn't like this new information. He didn't like that a vampire had basically won.
"Why?" Jake asked furiously.
"Because Edward is Bella's 'custos amator'. Tear him away and she'll fall apart again and maybe worse this time," I told him sternly.
He growled but looked away. Sam was surprised by everything I told him. If only he knew her age. That would surprise everyone.
"Do witches age like humans?" he asked.
"Yes, but they stop at the age of eighteen," I told him.
"Cool, I wonder how old Marie is than," Seth said, curiously.
I didn't like telling them all this but they would find out sooner or later.
"She's a couple of milleniums old. She can't quite tell exactly though," I told Seth and everyone went into shock.
"She's old," Paul whistled.
I saw Emily pick up a pan in her hand as I got up to hit Paul. His eyes were on me as I stood. He didn't see Emily come up behind him with a pan. All the guys were watching me when Emily hit Paul with the pan.
We all heard the crack of the pan against his head. Paul jumped up, startled and already shaking, as Emily held the pan at him with a hand om her hip. Sam stood up next to Emily as us guys started laughing.
"It's rude to comment like that on a lady's age," Emily told him shaking the pan at Paul.
Paul calmed down and held his head where Emily had hit him. He looked ashamed as he sat back down. We all heard a soft giggle and we turned to see Leah giggling, for the first time in a long time. Paul stood up and said he was going with Jared to patrol. Sam kissed Emily's forehead with a smile as she giggled.
I now knew what it was to have an imprint. I finished up breakfast and headed out the door. Marie was at school with Bella and the Cullens, she would be safe and I could go see her after school. I didn't have a vehicle to get her though. How would I get her from school?
"Hey, Jake, can I borrow your car to get Marie after school lets out?" I asked, hoping he wasn't still to mad at me.
"Why don't you take my bike, I'll need my car later," Jake told me.
Jake smiled at me because I guess my face showed some surprise. I thought he would have been mad and told me no but he does have better control than some of us. He dug into his pockets and pulled out his bike key, tossing them to me. I thanked him and walked out of Sam and Emily's house.
(Edward's POV)
It was lunch time and I stood in the line with Bella, Alice, and Marie. I had told Bella about what I had heard between Marie and Embry though I tried my best not to listen. It was hard to drown out Marie's screams and I was quite surprise Bella had not woken up herself. Now everytime she looks at her cousin a slight blush comes to her face. It's guite beautiful on her face.
We sat down at our usual table where Alice was already with Angela, Ben, Mike, Jessica and Lauren. I heard Mike's thoughts first as we approached.
'Dang, Bella looks good today. She would look better with me then with Cullen,' I heard him sneer.
I really just wanted to break his neck. Bella could feel me getting aggitated and tucked herself in closer to me, revealing Marie and stopping Mike in the middle of his thoughts.
'Damn, who's the hot chick behind Bella?' Mike thought.
Well, at least his attention is off of Bella but now I have to worry about what Marie will do. She might expose herself and maybe even Alice and me. The thought of Marie turning him into a toad wasn't half bad either. I snickered to myself and Bella and Alice eyed me curiously. I just waved it off as nothing.
'Damn it, another bitch to take Mike from me,' Jessica thought.
"Hey, I'm Bella's cousin, Marie," Marie introduced first. "I just moved here from Texas."
'Nice, a southern girl. Those girls can be wild as I've heard,' Mike thought as his mind wondered off to imagine him in bed with Marie.
I about growled and got sick, if that's possible for vampires, at the same time. Marie sat next to Alice and they began to conversate in French. Everyone gazed at them strangely except Mike who oggled Marie. Jessica got angry and stomped on Mike's foot, which would've been funny if her thoughts hadn't become ugly towards Marie and Bella. Lauren turned to Marie and decided to insult her. Lauren put her elbow on the table and laid her chin in her palm. Her psoture seemed to set an alarm off in Marie because she became defensive.
"So, are you like one of those southern sluts?" Lauren asked.
Bella, Alice, and Angela all gasped at Lauren's comment and Jessica just giggled. Marie looked at her sternly but turned back to Alice and started to talk. She appeared to be ignoring Lauren bit Lauren wasn't goin to take that. She grabbed a few strands of Marie's hair and yanked them out of her head. Marie gasped at the pain turned towards Lauren. Her eyes were ablazed with an angry passion.
"You want a fight, bitch? I'll give you a fight!" Marie yelled and launched across the table, knocking a surprised Lauren to the ground.
Lauren scratched her face and arms but that's as far as she got before Marie grabbed both her arms, rolled her over, and twisted them behind her. She presses Lauren to the ground hard, as the entire cafeteria watched.
Marie whispered in her ear saying, "If you ever try a move like that or mess with me again, it'll be the last thing you ever do. Got me, whore?"
Lauren nodded unable to talk due to the amount of pain she was in. As the tears started rolling down her cheeks Marie released her and that's when Mr. Greene, the principal, showed up. Marie stood up along with Lauren, who rubbed her arms, and Mr. Greene walked them to his offices. Marie walked proudly with a poker face as Lauren tried not to cry but she was unsuccessful.
"What did Marie whiaper to Lauren?" Bella asked.
"She said 'If you ever try a move like that or mess with me again, it'll be the last thing you ever do. Got me, whore?'," I told Bella and she had a small smile on her face.
The bell ranged for us to go to class and Bella and I walked to our Biology class. Today has been quite exciting for us and the school. I listened in on the principal to know what Marie's punishment was. Marie got suspened for a couple of days and Lauren a week. I snicked as Marie took her punishment like a badge and walked away but Lauren bauled her eyes out. Yep, this has been an interesting and exciting day. Can't wait to know what tomorrow brings.
