Chapter 6: Talk
Bella POV:
I felt like Emily just slapped me because of what my mom said. I wish I could talk to someone, but who would side with me on this.
"That's where you are wrong my dear girl." I turn and see my mom leaning on a tree looking at me. "You know that we are linked and I can hear your thoughts which means I can feel your pain my sweet girl." My mom held her arms open for me which I happily threw myself into. I really need her love and support right now.
"Mom, why is that everyone hated that we are just like vampires but we're not right? I mean we can walk in the sun and not burn or sparkle." Mom was smiling as I made a valid point. I just hate that they would think like that about us.
Maybe this threat that is out there should just come and get to me. I'm sure that would make everything a whole lot easier for everybody else. Either that or mom's ex-husband should just come and get me. I knew mom could hear my thoughts because I could feel her arms tighten around more and more as I allowed my mind to wander deeper into the darkness.
"Isabella please don't think that way my sweet girl. I am not ready to give you up to anyone let alone my ex. I have fought so hard to keep you away from him don't make what I did in vain. Please Bella don't think like that it hurts me that you want to leave me considering I just got you back again."
I could tell my mom is hurting by what I just thought, but what Emily and everyone did hurt like hell. First they agree to stand by me and then get mad when they thought differently because we are somewhat like vampires.
"Bella I know what you are thinking and if you let me speak you will know that I did explain about us and what we really are." I nodded to my mom and we both sat down on a fallen tree log so we could talk.
"Bella we are like vampires but not like the ones that are around here. We are the real deal and since we are gods too we can walk in the sun because we are mixed. I am the granddaughter to the god of vampires, his name is Erebus but he does not come out from the underworld because he has no reason too."
I was so intent to hear more about my heritage that this didn't shock me anymore. "So if we are like that why can we live on earth and walk in the sun without getting burnt?" I had so many questions I hope my mom didn't mind.
"My mother is Demeter the goddess of the harvest, she is the daughter of Erebus and Rhea. I know in the history books Rhea is married to Cronus but see the thing is that it happens many times with us gods and goddess we have many consorts which is very common thing to have."
I thought nothing was going to shock me but clearly I was wrong because that sure did. I needed to know something, but before I could even ask my mom answered my unspoken question. "Yes Bella I know but if you are mated to one how can you go to another. The thing is in some cases like with you and Emily having children becomes an issues which means that we would have to sleep with a male to achieve said goal. I know that it's not right, but it isn't again our laws.."
I give mom a worried look. I knew that when a wolf imprints it's to make the wolf bloodline stronger, but how will Emily and I do that since we are both woman? I guess that someone above made a mistake by giving me Emily. The would be a good enough reason for her to growl at me, and change her mind about us being together. Clearly she didn't want a mess up who can't do anything right for a mate.
I look over to my mom looking into her eyes I see everything but disappointment. "Mom, how could you not be disappointed in me for being mated to another female, whose bloodline is to make strong cubs yet she's stuck with me?"
"The reason is because I am also mated to a female." I can see my mother was upset that she told me about this thinking that I could be upset with this information. "Mom, I can't judge you for that. Who am I to judge you when I am just like you? That is if Emily wants anything to do with me anymore."
"Who said I don't Bella?" I turn and come face to face with my mate. I didn't know what to say to her. My mom excuse herself to give us sometime to talk. I just stared at her as I feel words escape me.
Emily POV: (When Bella ran from the meeting)
After I growled when Bella's mom Seph said that they are somewhat vampires I saw Bella step closer to her mom before she takes off running out the door. My wolf starts whimpering as we watch our mate run away from us. That hurt more than I thought possible. I feel like I lost half of my soul as she continued to run from me. I couldn't even function properly after Bella left. Sam made me sit down as he tried to calm me, but nothing he said would register in my muddled mind.
"Emily, sweetie please listen to me and let me explain what I meant with what I said. We are vampires but we are different. Can anyone here smell me like that vampires that you have meet before?" Seph ask us to basically smell her which I took a deep breath and the only thing I was able to smell was something sweet.
"I only smell sweet fruit and harvested grain. You smell alive, I can see you are normal and your eyes are normal." I could tell she was not like the other leeches we have meet before. "So you are really normal vampires but you can go out in the sun?"
"Yes, I can because I am a goddess. I'm a Chthonic deity which means that I am also from the underworld. Some of you call it hell or death. It does not really mean I am death that belongs to another God. My ex husband Hades is the God of the underworld where all souls go first before reaching the end. Many people have called it the nine circles of hell well we are basically at the start. My grandfather is the god of all vampires but he does not leave his realm or his world for anything unless there is a war going on."
Raising my head to look at Seph as she explain things better for me not to get mad at Bella for who she is. All of my brothers and sister calm down once we understood what Seph and Bella really are more human I guess you can say, but I had to ask "Are you more human than dead?"
At least I got a smile from Seph. "Really if you want to say it that way yes. Just remember we are immortal we can't die unless it's by the hands of my father Zeus the head God." I had to gasp that she really is a goddess one that I had studied in school.
Sam walk over to me kneeling down to my level to look at me "Emily, I feel that I should point out that your imprint ran away thinking that you don't want her. You should probably go do something about that." I look to Seph asking for help. "Don't worry Emily I know where she is, and I will go to talk to her and when you are ready just follow your heart you will know where she is." Seph says as she walks outside then disappears.
I nodded my head silently as I try and get everything sorted out in my head. I need time to think this over because I know I have messed up big time with my imprint. I should have just stayed quiet and listened to what her mom had to say, but I just had to let my hatred of vampires take over. I made my way outside to think after making sure there was no wolf on patrol. Once I was under the cover of the trees I strip out of my clothes tying them at my ankle and shifted into my wolf.
After a few minutes of running, my ears perk up as I hear Bella talking to her mom. I shifted back behind a tree and quickly got dressed again. I step out from behind the tree and stood still for a few minutes listening to them till I heard Bella say, "Mom, I can't judge you for that. Who am I to judge you when I am just like you? That is if Emily wants anything to do with me anymore."
"Who said I don't Bella?" I walk closer to them, I look over to Bella as I moved closer to her. "Please Bella let me explain why I reacted the way I did?" I was pleading with my imprint to hear me out. I felt like this either it will make or break us.
"Emily I will listen to you as long as you listen to me in return?" Bella was giving me a chance and I was willing to do anything just for that.
"Thank you Bella. May I sit next to you?" I was still unsure of things with Bella. I like her a lot hell I think I'm falling for her even more by the second, but I want us to be together not because it is fated for us to be together. I want us to be together because she wants to be with me. I sat down once she nodded her head showing that it was okay.
"I'm sorry Bella, for growling at you when I thought you were a vampire. Your mom explained everything after you ran. I was being an ass a stubborn ass."
"True but none the less my stubborn ass." Bella said with a smile on her lips. I had to smile too because she still think of me as hers, which I hope is true till the end of time.
"Bella, in our legends we are supposed to hate vampires because they have killed our head chief an alpha back when the pack was first started. Many vampires killed them and after now many generations later we are still fighting them. I wish we don't have to anymore."
I look to Bella saw that she understood what I was saying and there was some hope that I have not lost my imprint. "Emily, I understand your fears just know that I am nothing like them and I hope my mom was able to explain more about it to you."
Bella moved closer to me as she leans in and hugs me I am quick to hug her back. Smiling as we hold each other for a while til she pulls back a little she looks into my eyes as she asks, "Does this mean that you're okay with me being similar to a vampire? I would really like if you accept me not only as a goddess, but also as your mate."
I think the smile on my face is still there as I answer my imprint "Yes Bella I do accept you no matter what you are. I am sorry for my mistake before. I hope you can forgive your stubborn mate?" Bella nods her head yes and hugs me again.
After a few minutes of us sitting here with Bella leaning against me, "Bella are we planning on staying here all night? Granted I don't mind it but we still have things to talk about." I say wishing we didn't have to ruin our moment together.
"True we do. Okay let's go back to the meeting hall and finish the meeting. Then maybe you and I could spend some more time together?" Bella sighed as we pull apart but I held my hand out for her to use to get up. Bella took my offered hand and held it as we started to walk back. I stopped noticing that we were further from the meeting hall than I originally thought.
"Bella, would you like to see my wolf? If you want you can ride on my back to the meeting hall since we're pretty far away." I knew that she was a goddess I just wasn't sure she could use any of her powers yet.
"Sure I would love to see your wolf babe. But ride your wolf? Now that is something we need to talk about it. I didn't think we would do anything like that before our first date." I was hoping that Bella was joking with what she said.
"Bella I hope you are joking about that?" I ask looking at her like she had forensic a second head. I gently shake my head to clear my thoughts even though I did quite like what she said. I focus back on Bella and try to figure out what to do next.
"Em, I hope you know that I am just teasing you. Though I can see that you liked what I said." Bella said teasing me again. I just hope she keeps this up when we become and official couple.
"I guess I didn't know for sure if your were or not. Anyway do you still want to see my wolf Bella?" I had to ask again just to make sure she was sure about seeing the other half of her mate. I'm honestly terrified that she's going to change her mind once she sees me.
I could see Bella walk up to me and gently place her hand on my face as she caress it, I lean into her hand as I look into her eyes. "Emily, I would love to see your wolf if you trust me to see her." I could see it in her eyes that she won't be changing her mind about us.
I slowly step far enough away that I think I'm safe from hurting her. I wouldn't want to hurt her by accident somehow enough though I could never hurt her. I quickly slide off my clothes not even concerned about being shy around Bella. I quickly fold my clothes and hand them to her before I close my eyes as I allow my wolf to take over and the transformation to take place.
As I open my eyes I look to see Bella looking at me in amazement. Slowly she holds out her hand and walks towards me. I meet her halfway so she can run her fingers through my fur. I walk closer so I can nuzzle her neck as she pets behind my ear. "You look so beautiful Emily." She whispers softly.
I nudge her shoulder as I slowly start to lie down. I hope she gets the hint. Slowly she walks over to stand behind me before cautiously throwing one of her leg over my back and gently sitting down. I stand up slowly as I begin walking towards the meeting hall. As we continue I gradually get faster until Bella gets the hint to grab onto my fur as tight as she can while still holding my clothes close to her.
Before I even have time to get up to top speed we're already standing just on the outskirts of the meeting hall. I slowly lie down letting Bella know that it's safe for her to get off of me now. I groan softly as I allow my bones to shift back to normal. I smile at the fierce blush on Bella's face as she hands me my clothes before turning around.
"You know you're going to have to get used to me being naked eventually." I say as I quickly slide my clothes back on. "You can turn around now." I lean over to grab her hand gently.
"I'm sure one day I will get used to it, but not today I guess. Come on I don't want mom and the others to get worried." Bella says as she laces our fingers together as we start walking towards the meeting hall. Hopefully this will be over soon so I can spend some more alone time with my imprint.
