Angel P.O.V
The next few days pass without any problem. I kept my word and went to La Push the other day and worked with Sam an now I can somewhat control when I change into a wolf. But still have a ways to go before I am in complete control over it.
Other thing is at the moment I am living with the Cullen's. Aunt Cassie and Uncle Matt got called out to visit the Faye clan an would be gone almost a month. Emmett though loved the idea that I would be close for that time.
But at this moment I had just gotten ready for a nice game of baseball with the Cullen's. I followed the Cullen's who ran up to a clearing an we waited for Edward to arrive with Bella.
"So who's team will you be one?"
I smirked at Emmett. "Well I am thinking i'm gonna stick with Carlisle."
"Hey."
"Sorry Emmett."
He growled before rushing over and tossing me over his shoulder. "Why their team?"
He finally sat me down and laughed. "Because they have Jasper and Carlisle."
I looked over to see Jasper twirling his bat around his hand. But my attention was caught else where when I saw Edward drive up in the jeep.
As he and Bella got close I hugged her. "It's good to see you Bells. So how did Charlie take meeting Edward?"
"Alright..."
I smirked. "Something awkward happened didn't it?"
"I'll tell you later."
Esme walked up putting her arm around Bella. "I'm glad your here we need an umpire."
Emmett put his arms around me kissing me before smiling. "She thinks we cheat."
I pushed on his chest moving him away. "I bet you do cheat."
Esme moved Bella over to the home base. "I know you cheat. Call them as you see them Bella."
"Okay."
I giggled standing next to Jasper as the others made their way out to the field. Alice on the pitchers mound Edward out in the field an Emmett in the field warming up as if heading into a fight. I smirked to jasper coping Emmett making him laugh.
"It's time."
Carlisle nudged me. "You go first Angel."
I grabbed the bat and walked to home plate looking toward Alice." Let's go pixie."
Alice smirked before pitching the ball. I was worried I couldn't keep up with the Cullen's but I tried . With a grunt I swung the bat surprise when hit it. It soared fast into the woods. I didn't hesitate in running the bases.
"Slide home Angel. Slide."
I did what Carlisle said and slid my foot hitting home plate. But when I looked up I saw Esme had the ball touching my foot. We looked to Bella.
"Your out."
I pouted before standing. "Awe man. Come on Bella."
Carlisle patted my arm before stepping to the plate. I watched as Alice pitched and Carlisle swung and hit. I couldn't help but to laugh as Emmett and Edward jumped in the air to catch the ball only to slam into each other.
I stood with Rose smiling as Jasper stepped to the plate. "I have a feeling our team will win this game."
She laughed as Jasper hit the ball. Emmett climbed a tree catching the ball before throwing it back.
"I may be on the opposite team but my monkey man looked sexy doing that."
Emmett heard me because he looked over an winked. Rose moved to the plate as Jasper came to stand beside me. I put my arm around him. "Don't worry big brother I am sure you'll kick ass the next round."
He chuckled. "Thank you ma'am."
"STOP!"
We all looked toward Alice who looked worried. I felt Jasper grab my arm and we all rushed to Esme and Bella.
"They were leaving when they heard us."
Edward grabbed Bella."Let's go."
"It's to late."
I moved to Emmett a little scared. "Emmett what's going on?"
He wrapped his arms around me pulling me close whispering in my ear. "Nomad's"
I looked up biting my lip. "Human feeders?"
He nodded before pulling me over to stand between him and Jasper. Jasper looked to me. "Calm your breathing. You have no scent to us so the same should be for them. Just try to calm you breathing an don't bring attention to yourself."
"I can try to mask myself." I looked to Edward. "I'll try to do the same for Bella if I can."
I took a deep breathe and remembering my uncles training I masked myself as best I could before turning my attention to Bella. It was harder and taking more focus to do so. I heard Carlisle whisper.
"Her heartbeat is gone but her scent is there. Don't do to much don't over exert yourself."
I nodded looking up as we stood together watching the three figures get closer. I could see he held the baseball. I lowered my head and looked up through my lashes hoping they don't notice my eye color.
As Emmett's hand tightened on mine a cold sensation went up my arm and spread through my body. It reminded me of when I turned into a wolf. I knew whatever it was was probability my mothers powers surfacing to help me again.
The three figure stopped in front of us. I could see the difference in the eyes. Where the Cullen's eyes were gold these three had bright red eyes.
"I believe this belongs to you."
The middle guy was dark skinned and with dread locks threw the ball to Carlisle who caught it.
"Than you."
"I am Laurant." So that was dreads name. "This is Victoria." He motion to the woman with the fire red hair. "An James." The last one was built with long blonde hair that was in a ponytail. Something about him worried me. An how he was staring at me and Bella didn't help.
"I'm Carlisle and this is my family."
"Hello." It seemed like dreads was trying to seem polite but I had a feeling that was only for show.
"I'm afraid your hunting activities have cause something of a mess for us."
"Our apologize we didn't realize the territory had been claimed. "
"Yes, well we maintain a permanent residence nearby."
Dreads looked at blondie. "Really?" Was it so weird that not all vampire wanted to hurt people.
"Well we won't be a problem anymore. We were just passing through."
Red smirked. "The humans were tracking us but we lead them east. You should be safe."
I looked at the ground trying to concentrate to continue to mask myself and Bella. It was simple to mask myself but I had never tried to mask another and it was taking more energy then I thought.
But to make matters worse was when Drew clapped his hands together. "Well I think we can handle that."
The damage was done my focus was broken an I felt weaker. But the bad news, neither myself or Bella were masked anymore and I looked up noticing blondie looking at me and Bella, I closed my eyes taking a deep breathe thinking back into when I changed into a wolf. I had to protect my friends and family.
As the others laughed and moved away from each other me and Emmett stood with Bella and Edward. A glance of Edward an you could see he was reading blondie's mine.
Emmett's arm wound around my waist an started to leas me away but stiffened when we felt the wind. " You brought a snack!"
We all moved at once rushing to Bella and standing with Edward.
"A human?"
Carlisle tried to defuse the sitution. "The girl is with us. I think it's best if you leave."
When the three red eyed vamps didn't move something in me changed. The tingling feeling I had earlier was back and it spread through my body as I took a step forward to stand my Carlisle.
"It would be wise you heed his warning. We do not offer second chances. An I'm sure you'll want to see another 300 years."
Dread looked at me his eyes wide as if in fear before touching blondie's shoulder. "I can see the game is over, we'll leave now." He pulled on James. "James!"
James looked at me with a hiss before straightening pulling he red head close kissing her temple as they left. I watched with narrowed eyes at the retreating forms of the bad vampires.
"Get Bella out of here. Go"
In the corner of my eye I noticed Edward take Bella to Emmett's jeep.
"Angel!" I heard Emmett call me but my mind was still on the bad vampires who i knew would cause trouble. "Angel!"
I felt a hand on my shoulder turning me to look at Emmett who jumped back. "Angel's your eyes!"
Carlisle rushed forward and gently cupped my face looking at my eyes. "How is this possible? Angel how are you feeling."
I looked up confused. "I am fine other..."
"Other then..."
Jasper stepped forward. "You are feeling very protective."
I nodded. "I am worried that they would hurt my family an it is my fault."
"Your fault?"
I clinched my eyes shut as the guilt spread through me as I felt like I was weak and not physically. "If had just kept my concentration and kept me and Bella masked James would have thought we were like you."
I felt hands on my face turning me into a large solid chest I knew all to well. "Angel look at me."
I opened my eyes and looked up at Emmett who looked down at me with so much love it made her chest swell. "You are of no fault. You did something you have never done before and you were doing quite well. "
"But I didn't keep the mask I let Bella and myself get put into danger. Now I have a feeling that this James is going to cause trouble."
Emmett leaned down and kissed me pulling me closer. "You didn't put anyone in danger. If anyone is to blame it is these nomads"
Carlisle looked around. "We need to get back to the house."
With a nod I made to follow Carlisle when Emmett picked her up and held me against his chest. I sighed knowing that with everything happening he would want me close. He ran following the others as Jasper ran at our side. They were definitely trying to protect me.
My arms tightened around Emmett's neck as my heart raced. I had a feeling that the next few hours would be crazy. I just hope my family stays safe.
