Cat slept right through the day, Sophie woke up at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, she walked down the stairs to find her mother making a coffee in the kitchen.
"Morning mum" Sophie slurred
"More like afternoon" Caren smiled, Sophie looked at her surprised before looking at the clock on the oven
"Oh… afternoon mum" she corrected, Caren chuckled
"You and Cat must have had a lot of fun at that party last night" she smiled
"It was good" Sophie nodded as she made herself a coffee "By the way…" Sophie began to think "On Saturday, Alice has invited us to stay at her house, go shopping or something" Sophie began to speed think, she had to give some sort of story for them to be out all day, "Is it alright if we stay at her house the Friday night?" Sophie wondered
"Sure. Sue and I are spending the day together anyway. And your father is spending the day with Charlie and Billy" Caren explained. Sophie paused what she was doing, surprised. Neither Cat or herself had even spoken about getting them out of the house, yet it was already done.
"Maybe Sue and Billy already spoke to them" Sophie assumed. "That's cool. Thanks" she smiled. The twins weren't going to Alice's house, they would probably spend the night with Jacob and Embry instead. Sophie woke Cat up when it was time to go, Cat wasn't at all surprised that she'd slept through the day. They left the house and walked towards the trees. Both of them stopped before they even reached them.
"We don't need escorts you know" Cat muttered. Jacob, Embry and Quil were waiting for them
"Doesn't mean we can't walk with you." Jacob grinned, they were all back to normal after the early morning arguing. Sophie proved this by kissing Embry, properly compared to the night before. Cat was pulled into a huge hug by Jacob, when he released her, she jumped on Quil
"Don't want you feeling left out now, do we" she grinned
"You don't need to jump on me" he grumbled
"It's fun" Cat laughed before getting off him.
"By the way…" Jacob began. "We didn't get the chance to do this at the party so…" he took Cat's hand and clipped a charm bracelet to her wrist, it had a few charms on it already, but the one that stuck out was the silver wolf "Congratulations on graduating" he whispered. Cat looked at the bracelet, admiring it
"Actually…" Embry began, he did the same to Sophie, clipping another to Sophie's wrist "We got you matching one's" the only difference were the charms, which were all different colours
"Thank you" Sophie said kissing Embry again
"I don't know what to say" Cat muttered admiring it, it had a heart lock where it clipped together.
"Say thank you" Jacob smiled, Cat looked up at him happily
"Thank you" she gave her wolf a kiss.
"You didn't have to get us anything though" Sophie told them, Embry shrugged
"Anything for you" he smiled. She smiled back and hugged him
"Right! Time to go. I want to get in some one on two" Cat smirked, she walked past them
"No-" Jacob began
"Try to stop me!" Cat laughed before she ran off, Sophie giggled before following her. The boys sighed while Quil grinned, they phased and ran off after the twins. Sophie and the wolves reached the clearing after Cat, the Cullens had already begun. Obviously, it was Jasper and Emmett that were at it again. Cat jogged over to them
"Subbed in!" she said excitedly
"Not until we're done!" Emmett disagreed
"That's alright, I want to try an uneven spar" Cat said, Emmett grinned at her, but the distraction caused Jasper to pin Emmett down and win. Cat covered her mouth guiltily "Opps" she muttered. Emmett glared at her "You can try getting back at me" she grinned. Emmett didn't wait to be told twice he began lunging at her. Cat grinned as she jumped out of his way. She was a lot more cheerful than the night before. Without telling her, Jasper jumped in and began lunging at her also. Cat began to dance out of both of their way. Bella and Edward entered the clearing as the three of them were at it.
"What's she doing?" Bella asked horrified when she saw Jasper and Emmett attacking Cat.
"Uneven practicing." Edward answered
"She just walked straight up to them and told them she wanted them both to go at her" Sophie sighed when they reached her. The wolves were sitting a little ways off.
"Why?" Bella asked
"She's Cat, anything to show off and prove she's better…" Sophie shrugged "No way was Emmett going to pass down the opportunity to beat her flat"
"Why would Jasper agree?" Bella wondered
"He wants to try some unequal groupings, teach them how to deal with multiple attackers." Edward answered
"Really?" Bella and Sophie asked, Bella turned to Sophie
"You didn't know?" she asked, Sophie shook her head. They watched the three for a minute
"How did you manage that?" Edward randomly asked, both girls looked at him confused
"Manage what?" Sophie asked
"Manage to get the wolves to allow you to come?" Edward elaborated, Bella looked at him horrified before looking at Sophie
"It wasn't easy" Sophie admitted "I had a bit of a meltdown, or a freeze down" she muttered
"I see" Edward said, his eyes on the wolves.
"How? Why?" Bella questioned
"Cat and Jacob had a discussion. Jacob can't say no to Cat" Sophie explained
"What about you?" Bella wondered
"I was… a lot less calm." Sophie admitted
"Freezing everything around you is not exactly in the vocabulary of calm" Edward said. Sophie glared at him
"I said I was less calm, not I was calm" she said plainly. Edward grinned.
"You froze everything?" Bella asked
"Not everything." Sophie grumbled "Just the trees around me"
"Plus exploding one" Edward added
"Will you stop reading their minds" Sophie hissed, Edward shrugged. They watched as Emmett went down, Cat flipped him and Jasper launched at her while her back was turned, Cat ducked and Jasper went flying over her. Cat grabbed his ankle before he even landed and flung him into the ground. She clicked her fingers and ball of fire appeared above them both.
"Dead" she smiled "I win" Emmett began to grumble.
"Well done Cat" Jasper said getting up
"Don't underestimate your opponent" Cat advised grinning. She looked at him just in time to see Jasper launch at her, she leaned out of his way and as he spun around on the ground Cat jumped on him, tackling him before she sat on top of him, her hand raised and a flame in her palm. "Dead vampires can't go for a second blow" she said annoyed. Emmett jumped on her, knocking her off Jasper but the same thing happened, Cat ended up winning, this time holding Emmett off the ground, her hand on his throat. "I'm pretty sure you were dead too" she tutted. She released Emmett "Anyone else wanna try and surprise me", no one moved. Cat grinning in accomplishment before skipping over to Sophie, Bella and Edward. She stood between the two girls proudly
"Show off" Sophie muttered, Cat, being mature, poked her tongue out at her.
"What's with the long face Bells?" Cat wondered
"You could get killed" Bella said "You could all get killed"
"See, you, I don't mind worrying." Cat admitted "Bella, everyone here, knows they can handle this, they… well don't know about the wolves but the Cullens, Sophie and I are smart enough to know if we can handle something or not" Cat assured her "Plus, if anyone does get into a pinch, I'll just set a few on fire" she grinned
"You could burn the others" Bella said looking at the Cullens
"Not if I throw them through the air first" Sophie put in "Little bit of gravity goes a long way"
"We're here to help" Cat grinned
"You could get killed, because of me" Bella said, blaming herself
"You're our friend Bella. We want to help you. Plus there are other people in this town that need protecting also, like our family and friends" Sophie reminded her "It's not just for you" she smiled. Bella sighed. Jacob walked over to them and stood in front of Bella. He noticed the worried look on her face and was worried about her.
"Jacob," Edward greeted him politely. Jacob ignored him, his dark eyes on Bella. He put his head down to her level, cocking it to one side. A low whimper escaped his muzzle.
"I'm fine," Bella answered, not needing the translation that Edward was about to give. "Just worried, you know." Jacob continued to stare at her.
"That's really stupid. What is there to be worried about?" Jacob wondered
"He wants to know why," Edward murmured. Cat and Sophie grinned as Jacob growled — not a threatening sound, an annoyed sound — and Edward's lips twitched.
"What?" Bella asked.
"He thinks my translations leave something to be desired. What he actually thought was, 'That's really stupid. What is there to be worried about?' I edited, because I thought it was rude."
"It's not rude, it's Jacob" Cat grinned, patting his head. Bella halfway smiled, too anxious to really feel amused.
"There's plenty to be worried about," she told Jacob. "Like a bunch of really stupid wolves getting themselves hurt." Jacob laughed his coughing bark. Edward sighed.
"Jasper wants help. You'll be okay without a translator?"
"I'll manage."
"We'll translate" Cat smiled. Edward looked at her wistfully for one minute, his expression hard to understand, then turned his back and strode over to where Jasper waited. Bella sat down where she was standing. The ground cold and uncomfortable beneath her. Jacob took a step forward, then looked back at her, and a low whine rose in his throat. He took another half-step.
"Go on without me," she told him. "I don't want to watch."
"I do" Cat sat down next to Bella. Jacob leaned his head to the side again for a moment, and then squished in between Bella and Cat, folding himself on to the ground beside them both with a rumbling sigh. Cat rolled her eyes but leaned against him comfortably.
"Really, you can go ahead," Bella assured him. He didn't respond, he just put his head down on his paws. A breeze blew through the clearing and Bella shivered
"Scoot over Jake, keep the girl warm" Cat ordered, Jacob did so, a mini tree to grew, collapsed into fire wood and suddenly ignited, creating a fire and a bit more warmth.
"Er, thanks," Bella muttered. After a few minutes, she leaned against Jacob's wide shoulder like Cat. It was much more comfortable that way. Sophie sat next to Cat, Embry on her other side, Quil next to him. They watched, the moon light was lighting up the clearing, allowing them to see easily.
"Aren't you worried about Saturday at all?" Bella asked. Cat huffed and Jacob turned his enormous head toward Bella, so that she could see one of his eyes roll.
"Of course not" Cat voiced his thoughts, Jacob gave her the same look he'd given Edward before, she only shrugged.
"I wish I could feel that positive." Bella muttered
"You can't help it" Cat sighed
"Aren't you the least bit worried?" Bella asked again
"I am, but I know none of them are fragile, so I think they'll be alright. I'm hoping so anyway" Cat admitted
"You're not even positive?" Bella questioned surprised
"No. I'm not like Alice, I can't see and be sure, I can't see three days ahead to see who's still there. I don't know what's gonna happen. I just believe it will turn out fine." Cat shrugged "Not much I can do about that. I guess that's why I want to be there. So I know I did my best to help"
"I can't do that" Bella complained
"I know. But you wouldn't be much help. Sure you'd be a distraction for the newborns but you'd be vulnerable, which would cause someone to have to look after you. That would just make that person vulnerable" Cat reminded her. Bella looked down and sighed
"I guess"
"Plus, with Edward there, if Seth still goes with you than Edward can give you a play by play on what's happening" Cat grinned. Bella nodded.
"We'll be fine Bella" Sophie said smiling. Bella didn't answer, she still looked worried.
"By the way, what's happening with this hike?" Cat wondered
"Oh yeah, we've got some hiking to do." Bella remembered, Jacob rumbled; the sound was enthusiastic. "It might be a long hike," Bella warned him. "Edward doesn't judge distances the way a normal person does." Jacob barked another laugh.
"Jacob's not exactly normal" Cat smirked, getting a small smile out of Bella. "Plus, he's not slow. He can stay up for several nights before the fatigue catches up to him. Though it'd be faster if I did it" Jacob nudged her "What? I'm faster than you" Cat shrugged.
"Sophie" Jasper called, Sophie looked up and Jasper waved her over. Sophie grinned and walked over to him, Edward and Emmett.
"No fair, I wanna do three on one" Cat complained, Jacob rolled his eyes and Emmett laughed. Sophie stood between the three of them
"So, am I going against all three of you?" she wondered smiling. They didn't answer, but all three of them jumped at her. Sophie was surprised but spun out of their way. Sophie ended up backing away, leaning from left to right, backwards and forwards. She jumped upwards and did a few summersaults. It was like a hypnotising dance. Bella couldn't take her eyes off the fight, though she didn't want to watch, they were moving so fast she could hardly see their movements. Though all three vampires never took a break, attacking simultaneously, they never managed to land a single blow of Sophie. Cat was jumping up and down, almost buzzing to have a go.
"Soph, think they could take us both?" Cat wondered
"Not even close" Sophie smirked as she did another summersault.
"I think we should go against them together" Cat said
"You just want in on the action" Sophie sighed mentally
"That too" Cat admitted. Sophie rolled her eyes as she ducked under Edwards arms, he was fast enough to get out of her way before she could force him to the ground. Emmett wasn't as lucky Sophie grabbed his arm and threw him. She didn't even wait to see if it had helped in anyway. Jasper managed to get his arms around her but Sophie literally slipped through his arms as though she was water and twister his arm around before kicking him and sending him flying also. Edward lasted a little longer than the other two as Sophie began offence with him. Though only by a few minutes. Sophie managed to kicked Edward's legs out from under him before slamming his back into the ground. Jasper and Emmett had both gotten back up and were heading at her from both directions, they didn't get within five meters of her before beams of water shot out of the ground and around the two boys. They created a sphere around them and froze hard and solid, restricting the boys from moving at all. Sophie hadn't taken her eyes from Edward, her hand was still on his chest as she stopped him from moving also. She stood up and rubbed her hands against one other before putting them on her hips and grinning. The ice turned into water and splashed onto the grass as the boys were released, both soaking wet.
"Damn" Emmett muttered looking at himself. Cat appeared next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, his clothes dried immediately, steam rising from them. Sophie waved her hand and the water all came off and out of Jasper's clothes, leaving him dry also as Edward stood up.
"You two keep surprising us" Jasper admitted
"Well if you stopped underestimating us, we wouldn't" Sophie shrugged
"All seven of you can go against us if you want?" Cat smirked. Edward sighed and shook his head. The twins frowned at him.
"Go on. Go sit down, leave this to the big guys" Emmett teased
"We've beaten you how many times now?" Cat wondered grinning, Emmett's grin disappeared
"And you've won how many times out of… how many?" Sophie continued. Emmett didn't reply. The girls giggled
"Go on Emmett, maybe if you get enough practice you can verse the big guns" Cat laughed patting his back before going back to sit next to Jacob, Sophie with her. Emmett grumbled as Esme began combat with Rosalie.
"How do you two do that?" Bella questioned amazed. The twins looked at one another before shrugging
"We trust our instincts" they answered in unison
"How?"
"We don't think about it, we just… do it" Sophie tried to explain
"Like our mind shuts down and our body moves on it's own naturally" Cat expanded
"Has it always been like that?" Bella wondered, the girls thought
"Yeah" they answered.
The wolves carried to twins back to their house, Quil had left after the training while Embry and Jacob accompanied the girls. Cat was lying on Jacob's back, too tired to even sit up.
"Why do we have to do it at night?" she complained groggily
"You slept all day, how can you be tired?" Sophie wondered
"Cause I'm supposed to sleep at night. If I over sleep, it just makes me more tired" she whined
"So don't over sleep" Sophie said simply
"I can't not do that when I'm out every night"
"Then don't come" Jacob said simply, Cat sat up and whacked him
"Not a chance" she glared before lying back down on his back, her hands weaving through his silky fur. Sophie sighed
"At least this will all be over in the next two days" she said
"I agree with you there. We can actually start enjoying the fact that we don't need to go to school anymore" Cat muttered, her eyes closed.
"What are we going to do with all that spare time?" Sophie mumbled
"Who knows" Cat answered. It wasn't long before she fell asleep. Sophie smiled and didn't speak another word as the two wolves walked home with them. Sophie lifted Cat off Jacob's back and carried her sister towards the house. As soon as they'd phased, Jacob and Embry joined her, Jacob taking Cat out of her hands and disappearing around the house to her room. Embry took Sophie's hand and smiled at her as they walked, when they reached her room Embry picked her up and leaped in through the doors. Sophie grinned and kissed him before he even got the chance to put her down. Embry made his way over to her bed, placing her on it and leaning over her, not breaking apart for even a fraction of a second. Sophie began kissing behind his earlobe while he caught his breath, it didn't take him long and he forced her lips back onto his.
"Morning" Sophie said cheerfully, the next morning
"Good morning sweet heart" Caren kissed her forehead "You're cheerful this morning"
"So are you" Sophie noticed as her mother danced around the kitchen.
"Well, after an eventful day such as yesterday, it's only natural" Caren smiled. Sophie looked at her confused
"What happened yesterday?" she wondered. Caren looked at her surprised, a frying pan in her hand. Her eyes widened
"Oh my god. We never got the chance to tell you" she realised
"Tell me what?" Sophie questioned. Cat awoke to her sister yelling
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Cat sprung into a sitting position "AND YOU WERE GOING TO TELL US WHEN?!" Cat jumped out of bed and raced down the stairs. She found her twin, her expression unbelievable and her mother standing there looking ecstatic.
"What happened?" Cat questioned, looking at them both. Sophie turned to look at her, her mouth hanging open "What?" Cat asked again.
"Dad won the bloody lottery yesterday!" Sophie swore. Cat looked at her stunned for a few minutes, not sure whether to believe her sibling or not. She looked at her mother who shrugged with a smile
"HE… WHAT?!" Cat eventually reacted
"Your father bought a few lottery tickets on a spontaneous decision, and ended up winning" Caren explained
"How much?" Cat questioned. They were all silent for a minute
"Ten million." Caren answered
"WHAT?!" the girls screamed, completely taken by surprise. The girls stared at their mother, none of them moved as Caren waited for her girls to start breathing again.
"Ten…"
"… million…" they muttered. They said the words over and over again
"Didn't we have enough already?" Sophie muttered
"What's all the shouting about?" John asked as he entered the kitchen
"We forgot to tell the girls about your win" Caren explained as John kissed her cheek and placed a hand around her waist, Caren doing the same to him. John looked at his daughters
"Oh. Well we didn't see them much yesterday, they slept all day" John grinned. The twins still hadn't moved
"Don't we have enough already?" Sophie thought again
"Is there even such thing as too much money?" Cat wondered.
The twins watched and waved as their parents both left for their daily activities later that morning, both of them still completely stunned as to what had transpired.
"I still can't believe it" Cat mumbled
"They could both stop working if they wanted to" Sophie agreed
"I don't think they will. Well, not dad anyway" Cat admitted.
"They could even go on a holiday, then Billy and Sue wouldn't have to look after them" Sophie muttered. Both Billy and Sue had assured the girls that John and Caren would be perfectly fine, Charlie also.
"That would make me feel better" Cat agreed "Even though I trust Collin and Brady to look after them all"
"I feel bad leaving them on protection detail" Sophie sighed
"We don't have much of a choice" Cat reminded her
"Might be easier if mum and dad were abnormal and we did 'inherit' the abilities" Sophie said with quotation marks around the words 'inherit'.
"Putting this morning aside" Cat muttered "What are we doing tonight? We said we were staying with Alice, but we know we can't." Cat remembered
"You can stay with us" Jacob said coming up behind her and kissing her neck. Embry's arms were around Sophie's waist as he kissed her shoulder.
"Mmm, sounds like a date" Cat agreed
"Sorry, not if our dad's there, it wouldn't work" Sophie reminded them "And we can't stay at Embry's cause his mother doesn't know anything" she patted Embry's arm in sympathy.
"We could go camping" Cat suggested
"You hate camping"
"Depends on where it is" Cat shrugged "Somewhere in the middle of the forest would be fun"
"When we're about to go into a vampire battle?" Sophie asked raising an eyebrow "That sounds like the perfect opportunity to pick us off, one by one"
"Except that they wouldn't be able to" Cat smirked
"Not the point" Sophie sighed. Cat gasped, a smile on her face
"I know! I can make some tree houses!" she beamed
"Tree houses?" everyone asked
"Yeah, I'll make them out of tree branches and leaves. They'll float up in the air off the ground. There was one in this book I read once and it sounded awesome" Cat explained
"Sounds strange" Sophie complained
"You got a better idea?" Cat wondered
"How about we just stay here?" Sophie sighed
"Cause we already created the lie" Cat said simply. Sophie groaned
"Why is this so difficult?!" she wondered annoyed.
"We could get the entire pack together and just have a bonfire, sleep outside" Jacob suggested. The twins thought about it for a second
"We could" they muttered
"Actually, before a battle that might be a good thing to do" Sophie agreed
"Socialise and have some fun before the fight begins" Cat smiled
"Emily and Kim should come too" Sophie decided as Cat opened her phone and began to text.
"Are you crazy?" Embry asked shocked
"Why?" Sophie asked confused
"You really want to get those two involved?" Jacob asked, also surprised. Sophie looked at them cluelessly before Cat looked away from her phone, understanding what they meant
"You idiots. They're only coming for the bonfire. They're going straight home the next morning, I'm pretty sure Sam and Jared would be fast enough if it contained their safety. They aren't coming to the fight." she scolded them. Sophie rolled her eyes at their misunderstanding.
"Sorry" they both muttered
"Come on," Cat locked her phone and put it in her back pocket. "Lets go to Emily's and ask Sam" she decided. Cat clicked her fingers and all the electronics turned off. They stepped outside and Sophie did the same, locking all the doors.
"How did you do that?" Embry wondered after hearing the click
"I used some gravity. Just like I levitate things and control them. Cat could do it too, by controlling the minerals and atoms in the locks but, my way is less complicated" Sophie shrugged. She and Cat turned and jumped off the balcony instead of walking down the stairs, Sophie doing a flip and Cat sprinting off the second her feet touched the ground. The boys sighed and followed suit, phasing once amongst the trees and attempted to catch up with their imprints.
"Come on Sam please!" Cat begged
"It'll be fun!" Sophie persuaded.
"We need to be fully rested, not out wasting our time" Sam argued
"So we start early. Just as the sun's setting. Eat early. Talk for a bit and be asleep by like ten. You hardly let them rest anyway, why the sudden care for their health? Are you worried they wont be able to deal with the newborns on their normal strength?" Cat rambled. Sam glared at her but Cat only shrugged under his gaze.
"Come on Sam, just as a little fun before everything may turn sour" Sophie said smiling
"They cannot come" Sam said seriously, his gaze landing on Emily
"They'll go home the next morning. The fights not till the afternoon" Cat tried to convince
"No." he said
"Why?" both twins asked
"I do not need any distractions, nor is it wise to have to worry about such a thing" Sam explained
"Thing?! She's your imprint. Neither you nor Jared would let anything happen to the two of them" Cat said angrily "And they aren't coming anywhere near the battle so I do not understand the problem. Sophie and I will take them home if you're that worried"
"Actually that's not a bad idea" Jacob butt in. Cat rolled her eyes
"You're just hoping I'll miss out on the entire fight" Cat said. Jacob didn't agree nor did he deny it. But he looked at Sam for a while, hoping he'd allow it. Sam thought about it and looked at both of the twins
"They'll be fine with us" Sophie assured him
"They just don't want us near the danger" Cat said
"To bad they underestimate your speed so much. Otherwise they wouldn't even bother trying" Sophie grinned
"True that" Cat smirked. Both twins didn't mind taking Kim and Emily home the next morning for this reason. If they flew through the air than Cat could just drag Sophie along.
"We can't go home. We told mum and dad we were gone for the night and day. No point changing that. That's why we want this bonfire tonight… well one of the reasons, another that it would be a good way to let loose instead of being a worry wort like Bella and…" Cat suddenly gasped
"What?" Sophie, Jacob, Embry, Sam and Emily wondered. Cat pulled her phone out of her pocket and left the room, dialling a number.
"Edward. I just had a brilliant idea!" Cat said excitedly after Edward picked up
"What?" Edward questioned as Sophie, the wolves and Emily followed her into the room.
"I can hide Bella's scent better then anyone. If I went with Jacob and Bella, there wouldn't even be a wolf's scent to follow" Cat explained
"How?" Everyone but Sophie asked.
"A scent is a little difficult to get rid of because it's on everything. But it's not difficult for someone who controls the earth. I can actually make it so that there isn't a single trace of either Bella or Jacob behind. Less of a chance that anyone could find her" Cat explained
"Why didn't you think of that before?" Sophie wondered
"I forgot" Cat shrugged
"Well, does that mean that Jacob wouldn't need to go?" Edward wondered
"Well… not really because Bella would end up touching the plants and that takes longer to cover up. I'd have to kill them off and regrow them the exact same. If Jacob didn't come it would take longer to get to the destination spot" Cat said "I just thought it would be good as an extra precaution" she shrugged
"It would be more protection for Bella…" Edward muttered
"It's your decision" Cat assured him.
"I would like you to go, just in case" Edward finally decided
"Yes sir" Cat saluted
"Great. What am I gonna do?" Sophie wondered
"Continue with the bonfire. Or you could come" Cat suggested
"I think I'll have a bonfire instead. Sounds funner" Sophie grumbled
"So where are we meeting you?" Cat asked Edward down the phone
"The field where Bella is ending the trail" Edward answered
"Awesome" Cat grinned "We'll see you tomorrow then" and she hung up the phone
"Can't believe you just left me out" Sophie complained
"Sorry." Cat frowned. Sophie sighed
"Why are you coming?" Jacob asked
"Did you not hear what I just said?" Cat wondered
"Yes, but I wasn't expecting you to leap out to come with us" Jacob confessed
"I didn't 'leap out', I made a suggestion" Cat argued. Jacob sighed, not meaning to aggravate her. "Plus this way, you can't get rid of me" Cat smirked, Jacob rolled her eyes
"Like I would ever want that" he smiled
"You would if it meant keeping her out of danger" Sophie grinned, Jacob shot her an annoyed look
"Anyone would be willing to do that" he muttered, she shrugged.
"Now I'm gonna have to take Em and Kim back on my own" Sophie sighed
"You could do that easily" Cat rolled her eyes
"Not the point" Sophie grumbled.
"Plus, we're just helping them up the mountain, it's not like we're not coming…" Cat stopped when Sam started shaking his head "What?" Cat wondered
"Jacob's staying. We need to keep an eye on Bella incase something doesn't go as planned" Sam explained
"He's not fighting?" Sophie asked looking at him surprised
"Seth's going to spell me the next day" Jacob shrugged
"Ouch. Bet he doesn't like that" Cat muttered, they shook their heads "Alright well scratch that and don't have to much fun without us" Cat grinned.
"Good thing you two are going, for Bella's sake" Sophie admitted
"Wh-" Cat began, but then she shivered, something that surprised everyone "Oh damn" she cursed
"I'm so jealous" Sophie sighed in annoyance
"Could of told me about the storm before" Cat grumbled
"What's more important, Bella's life or your dislikes?" Sophie crossed her arms. Cat looked away from her, knowing the answer. "Exactly" Sophie nodded "Plus, she's gonna need you two to keep her warm, seeing as Edward's useless in that category" Cat and Jacob grinned. Cat's phone began to ring, everyone looked at her pocket as she pulled it back out again
"Hello Billy" she grinned, Jacob raised an eyebrow
"Hey Cat, is Jake there?" Billy wondered
"Course he his" Cat rolled her eyes at the silly question
"Well, Bella called. She said to meet them in an hour." Billy passed on the message. Cat checked her watch
"Awesome" she grinned
"Are you and Soph still planning on joining in?" Billy wondered
"Of course. As much as everyone keeps trying to stop us" Cat smirked
"Well, be careful out there" Billy sounded as worried as the others
"I promise. Look after my father for me" Cat smiled
"I will"
"Oh, did he tell you about the luck he got?" Cat grumbled, Billy laughed
"Yes he did. I was very surprised actually"
"Not as surprised as I was" Cat muttered. Everyone was looked at her confused as her facial expressions were annoyed. They looked at Sophie, but were surprised to find the same expression on her face.
"Don't worry about it, it's not like it's a bad thing" Billy assured her
"True" Cat sighed "And not much we can do about it now"
"That's the spirit. Good luck tomorrow. Make sure you all come back in one piece" Cat knew Billy was really pointing that sentence at her and Sophie but promised to anyway before hanging up the phone.
"What did your dad do?" Jacob wondered
"He decided he was going to be spontaneous" Cat muttered, walking past them and back into the kitchen
"How?" Embry wondered
"He bought a few lottery tickets" Sophie said sitting next to her sister and taking one of the cookies Emily had made
"So…"
"So he won" the replied in sync
"Really?" Emily asked surprised, they nodded
"How much?" Sam wondered, the girls glanced at one other
"How much?" Jacob repeated
"Ten Million" they answered slowly. Everyone was silent. No one moved, they became as still as the vampires. The only sound was of their breathing and the sound of their heart beats.
"Hey guys" the twins turned to see Kim, Jared, Leah and Seth walk in through the door
"Hey" they said. The four of them stopped and looked at the three wolves looking flubber gusted. Emily had not had such a shock and had moved to the kitchen to make up some drinks.
"What's wrong with them?" Leah questioned sitting next to Cat
"We told them the latest news that happened in our household" Cat said slowly
"What was it?" Kim wondered
"Dad bought a lottery ticket" Sophie repeated
"And won ten million dollars" Cat muttered
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Leah burst standing up, completely surprised
"Not sure if that's a better reaction or not" Sophie muttered
"Neither" Cat muttered
"Why?" Kim asked
"Dad decided to 'spontaneously', buy a few tickets and ended up winning" Sophie sighed
"Didn't even find out till this morning" Cat growled
"You don't even need any more money" Leah said
"You said it" Cat agreed
"Maybe you should share some with the rest of us" Jared suggested as Kim sat up on his lap
"Narr, we aren't that generous" Cat grinned
"You two are so lucky" Kim sighed
"Kim, we would love to spend some on you" Sophie grinned
"We can go on a huge shopping spree!" Cat grinned
"Aww thanks" Kim giggled.
"Jeez, as if you two didn't have enough already" Jared muttered
"Tell us about it" they chorused
"I think it's awesome. You might even out price the Cullens" Seth grinned
"That's kind of difficult seeing as Carlisle has lived to 300 years and is a doctor. He only has 300 years worth of money" Cat reminded him. Seth shrugged but the grin never left his face.
"300 years. When you think about it, that's a long time. What would you do for all that time. I mean he was all alone for most of it" Sophie muttered
"He was with the Volturi for some of it" Cat reminded her
"But, no one likes the Volturi" Sophie remembered
"That's cause no one likes governments, no matter what kind" Cat grumbled.
"You know…" Kim began "If you guys were immortal, and your parents ended up being immortal also, you could be richer than the Cullens. In fact you could become the richest people ever" she grinned. Cat grinned
"That probably would be awesome. We'd be in newspapers for being billionaires"
"I'm not sure that's a good thing if we lived forever" Sophie sighed "Someone would end up making the 'immortal' connection."
"Right" Cat muttered, earning a chuckle was everyone else.
"This is going to be an ongoing wonder isn't it. Whether our parents are 'special' like us or not" Sophie sighed
"Until we find out something to put the subject to rest" Cat muttered
"It's an interesting thought" Emily smiled as she handed around some drinks
"It's annoying. We never really thought about it, and know it's one of our most used topics… with everyone" Sophie admitted
"Especially with Carlisle. He's interested in what makes us… us" Cat confessed
"I bet he could figure something out" Sophie admitted
"He's the only doctor we could ask for help for" Cat sighed. Sophie shook her head
"Let's think about it later shall we?" she decided. Everyone nodded, the wolves glad to get off the topic of the Cullens.
