Getting a bit mysterious now :D This chapter was actually difficult to write, which is weird. So I kind of dragged it out in order to make it longer, sorry if it's boring in some spots.
Also, there are so many Sophie's POV's because I'm trying to make up for the lack of them earlier in the story, sorry if this annoys you.
I go back to school on Wednesday so don't blame me if they take longer to write and update.
I'm going to confess something… I'm actually very surprised as to how many people like my story. I never expected so many follows and favourites :P So thanks guys, it actually means a lot to me.
Third Person POV.
"Cat, have you seen my phone?" Sophie yelled
"No?" Cat called back. Sophie sighed in frustration, her entire room had been turned upside down, there were clothes on the floor, her furniture was up in the air as well as pillows, clothes, books and blankets.
"I can't find it anywhere" Sophie complained, Cat walked into the room
"Have you looked under the b…" she saw her sisters room "Bed" she muttered
"Well, considering it's in the air, I'm gonna say yes" Sophie said annoyed
"Damn, you've torn this place apart" Cat noticed
"Really? That's cause my phone's missing" Sophie complained
"Well what did you do with it last?"
"I don't remember"
"When was the last time you used it?"
"I don't know, I definitely remember using it before the newborn fight, cause I texted you" Sophie answered
"That was… what? Three days ago?" Cat said surprised
"I haven't needed it" Sophie shrugged "The only people I text are you, Bella, mum, dad and occasionally Alice I haven't spoken to any of our school friends in a while, I don't need to text Embry cause he doesn't have a phone." she rambled
"Was before the fight, the last time?" Cat asked shocked
"It's the last time I remember using it" Sophie muttered thinking.
"What did you do with it during the fight?" Cat wondered, her arms crossed over her chest. Sophie thought
"I sent you a text message, I got one from Dad, mum and Billy, I saw Embry using one…" she listed
"Which is when he texted me" Cat cut in, Sophie nodded
"And then… I did something to make sure it didn't get broken…" she muttered, now pacing through her upside down room.
"Well have you checked anywhere else? Other than your room?" Cat asked looking at the mess. Sophie huffed and left the room, everything floated down back onto the floor. Cat followed her sister and they went down into the living room
"Keep an eye out for mum" Sophie ordered Cat, Cat rolled her eyes but did so. Sophie levitated the couches, the cushions, the tables everything moved around as she looked. Sophie groaned when she didn't find anything and she put the furniture all back exactly where it was.
"It's not here" Sophie huffed as she walked past her sister
"On to the kitchen" Cat muttered. They tore the kitchen apart also. Cat was surprised their parents didn't come out from all the noise they were making. The pots and pans were clicking when they flew around kitchen and hit the benches.
"Grrr! This is no annoying" Sophie complained.
"Have you tired the library?" Cat suggested. Sophie ran straight down stairs to the library. Cat didn't bother to follow, she heard the ruckus as her sister went through all the shelves and books. Sophie proceeded through to the games room, though she hadn't been down there often lately. She ran into the laundry and searched through the clothes and draws
"Nothing" she mumbled.
"I'll let you check my room as long as you don't make a huge mess" Cat said
"You're rooms always a mess" Sophie grumbled
"It'll be worse after you go through it" Cat muttered irritated. Sophie rolled her eyes but went up to her twin's room and searched through it. Again nothing.
"You could look though mum and dad's studies?" Cat offered appearing in the doorway. Sophie nodded and ran back to the stairs, she paused and quickly diverted into the spare bathroom just in case but there was nothing there either. She ran down the stairs and to her mother's study, knocking on the door.
"Come in" Caren called, Sophie opened the door
"Mum, have you seen my phone?" she asked
"Your phone?"
"I've seemed to misplace it…" Sophie confessed
"You lost it?" Caren asked raising an eyebrow, this wasn't like Sophie at all
"I put it somewhere for safety and now I can't remember where I placed it" Sophie said thinking "Did I leave it in here?"
"I haven't seen it around so I'm not sure" Caren stood up and looked around. Sophie walked around also, looking through the books, tables as Caren looked over her desk. "Sorry sweetie, but I don't think it's here" Caren apologised. Sophie sighed
"That's alright, I'll check dad's office" Sophie muttered and left the room, walking to her father's office right next to her mother's.
"Dad"
"Yes Soph?" John looked up smiling.
"I'm looking from my phone, did I leave it in here?" Sophie asked again
"I'm not sure." John said, "But you may look around" John indicated to the room. Sophie smiled and looked around.
"I can't find it" Sophie thought annoyed "Thanks dad" she mumbled and left the room "How can you stand loosing things all the time? It's such a pain" she thought
"You kind of get used to it and than just ignore it till it pops up somewhere" Cat answered.
"Rrrrr" Sophie threw her hands up in frustration and went back to the living room, slumping onto the couch. Cat walked in and sat next to her
"It's not like you to get so irritated" she muttered
"It's also not like me to loose things" Sophie corrected.
"Point" Cat nodded. There was a ringing noise and Sophie looked around
"That's not mine" she muttered
"No, it's mine" Cat said pulling hers out. "Hello?" she answered it "Oh hey Em… no, we're free… really? But that was… ohhh, that makes sense" Cat nodded. "Alright, awesome. Thanks" she hung up. Sophie looked at her expectantly
"What was that?" she asked
"A phone call?" Cat answered, Sophie glared at her. Cat rolled her eyes
"It was Emily, she's having a feast for the victory of the newborn fight" Cat explained
"Why now?" Sophie wondered
"Cause of Jacob, this is the first opportunity she's had" Cat shrugged
"Oh" Sophie understood
"And she invited us" Cat added
"Awesome, when?" Sophie asked
"Now" Cat grinned, Sophie looked at the clock hanging on the wall
"Wow, I didn't even notice how late it was" she muttered. The two left the room, Sophie completely forgetting why she'd turned the house upside down in the first place.
"Mum, we're on our way to Jacob's" Cat called
"Alright," Caren called back
"We might not need a big dinner either" Sophie added, knowing Emily they wouldn't need food till tomorrow afternoon.
"Well don't be out to long" Caren said
"We wont" they twin chorused. It had been three days since the newborn fight, and a day since Jacob's body had completely healed. He could go back to moving around, doing his patrols, but when at in public he needed to bandage his waist, shoulder, put his arm in a sling and walk around on crutches. The girls' father had notified Carlisle who'd organised the crutches for him. Jacob hadn't stopped complaining about them since he was given them. The girls didn't bother with one of the cars, they walked out the front door and ran straight down to Emily's small, homey, red house.
"We're here" Cat sang after walking in through the door grinning
"You're cheerful" Leah noticed
"Narr, I just wanted to announce my presents" Cat shrugged "You should be clapping" she clapped her hands and waited
"Why?" Paul asked annoyed
"Cause I told you too?" Cat said obviously. She sighed "Never mind the moments gone" and sat down in the living room with everyone else.
"Hey peeps" Sophie piped up sitting on Embry's lap
"Hey Soph" he smiled, she smiled and turned to plant a kiss on his lips.
"Get a room" Paul and Jared hollered
"Only once you get a life" Sophie replied with a smile, a bunch of ooo's went around.
"Nice one Soph" Cat complimented as Jacob put his arm around her. Sophie grinned with a nod. "So what's on the menu?" Cat wondered
"I'm making roast chicken with potatoes and sweet potato, a bit of pumpkin, some vegetables followed by apple and custard crumble with some ice-cream or cream" Emily listed
"Would you like some help with all that?" Sophie wondered
"I'm sure I could manage" Emily smiled
"I'm sure you can't, not cooking for this lot, let me help" Sophie offered, Emily nodded
"Alright." she allowed. The two got up and walked to the kitchen, immediately beginning to prepare the food.
"How's it been, being crippled?" Cat smirked at Jacob, he just rolled his eyes and scowled
"How long does it usually take for normal people to fix?" he asked
"Few months" Cat answered shrugging, Jacob groaned. Embry and Quil laughed at him.
"Damn Charlie" Jacob muttered, Cat elbowed him "Ow"
"That's not nice" she scolded, Jacob sighed.
"Well if it wasn't for Charlie he wouldn't have to pretend he was still injured, no one would have even known otherwise" Embry admitted
"Well, that's what you get for not being careful" Sophie called from the other room
"Wasn't my fault" Jacob mumbled
"Maybe we should just blame Leah" Jared sneered
"Jared" Cat glared "If you want someone to blame, you should be blaming yourselves for miss counting your half"
"It's not —" Paul began
"Enough" Sam cut him off "There's nothing we can do about it know. But for future reference, we're to be more careful" he ordered.
"Yeah, you don't wanna be shown up by the Cullens now do you?" Cat grinned almost all of them growled. "I didn't think so"
"Stop teasing them Catherine" Sophie scolded from the kitchen, Cat pouted but sighed and stopped anyway.
"Alright, come get it" Emily called
"You're done already?" Cat asked surprised as she got up and walked into the kitchen
"We're done with the entree" Emily smiled. There was garlic bread — and lots of it — smoked salmon, spring rolls, dim-sims, chips, dipping foods, dips, bread, and some soup.
"I'm gonna be full before we even get to the main course" Cat smiled before sitting down, the wolves and Kim followed her as Emily and Sophie joined them.
"You said nothing about an entree" Kim remembered
"Wouldn't be a feast without one" Emily smiled
"Damn straight" Jared agreed, digging in. Cat had topped her plate with most of the salmon, spring rolls and garlic bread
"Save some for everyone else, Cat" Sophie scolded
"There's heaps, they'll be fine" she grinned happily "This is so good" she said, after eating some salmon "I miss salmon" she sighed happily. Sophie sighed and shook her head
"It's just salmon" Paul muttered
"Then you have no taste for delicate foods" Cat turned her nose to the air.
"Stop acting so high and mighty" Sophie sighed
"Well it's true" Cat grumbled eating some more
"By the way, none of you guys would have any idea what I've done with my phone would you?" Sophie wondered
"No? Why?" Seth answered
"I can't find it, and I don't remember where is might be" Sophie complained
"She said the last time she remembered using it was before the newborn fight" Cat sighed, shaking her head
"But that was three days ago" Leah said plainly
"Exactly" Cat muttered
"Like I said before, I haven't needed to use it since" Sophie repeated agitated "I don't spend my life on mine like some people" she accused Cat, her twin glared at her before Sophie yelped and jumped. She stood up and glared
"What was that for?!" she shrieked, having been electrocuted
"Accusing me of something trivial and untrue" Cat answered simply. Sophie glared at her scarily "You're gonna end up ruining Emily's lovely feast" Cat warned her, Sophie huffed and slumped back into her seat annoyed before she began eating again. The wolves all glanced at one another before continuing to eat, none of them wanted to aggravate the twins further so they just kept their mouths shut. They made there way through the entree and then through the main course, Kim and Emily eating the least to of them all, the twins managed to keep up with the wolves. Sophie stopped, mid spoon full as they ate the apple and custard crumble.
"Damn!" she muttered
"What?" Cat asked as everyone paused
"I left it in a tree" Sophie hit herself in the forehead, placing her spoon back into her bowl.
"What?" Cat wondered confused as everyone watched the two
"My phone" Sophie answered
"Why?" Cat questioned
"Because, I lodged it in a tree so that it wouldn't get broken. I guess after what happened to Jacob I forgot all about it" Sophie threw her hands in the air "Come on." she stood up and walked towards the door
"You're going now?" Jacob asked
"I have to, before I forget" Sophie said strongly.
"But what about our crumble?" Cat whined
"Emily will store it for us, right?" Sophie asked her, Emily nodded and smiled "See" Sophie said to her sister before she took Cat's arm and pulled her out of her chair before dragged her out of the house
"Should we come with you?" Embry called
"Really? After all we've been through you still think we need baby sitting? We'll only take a second" Sophie called back before she and Cat disappeared into the trees, running off towards the meadow from the fight. Embry sighed
"You two have really got it good" Seth grinned. Jacob and Embry sighed but grinned with a nod.
"Did we seriously need to go now?" Cat asked annoyed
"I would probably get distracted and forget to do it until I needed it next. Which could be ages and by than, I would have probably forgotten." Sophie tried to convince her
"Sophie you hardly ever forget things" Cat said confused as she ran next to her
"Well, now I have something to distract me" Sophie shrugged as she jumped over a log
"Embry?" Cat asked surprised
"Don't act so surprised, lately he's all I think about" Sophie confessed "I'm sure you can relate" Cat sighed not bothering to answer. The reached the meadow in no time at all and Sophie walked over to the tree, removing her phone from it's hiding place.
"Huh, it's still here" she grinned
"Why did you put it there?" Cat questioned
"Cause it was hidden and safe" Sophie looked at her like it was obvious "Where did you put yours during the fight?" she wondered
"In my back pocket" Cat shrugged
"You left it in your pocket? Around newborns? During a fight?" Sophie asked
"Yeah?" Cat nodded "I didn't plan on anyone getting close enough to touch me, let alone it" she confessed. Sophie sighed and rolled her eyes before looking at her phone and pressed the 'on' button. Sophie frowned when her phone didn't light up to life. She tried again but still nothing happened. She waved her hand and any water that was on it, fell away. Sophie tried turning the device on again, still nothing.
"Cat" she whined handing her sister the phone. Cat sighed and took it from her, she opened the back and gave Sophie the cover and the battery. All the dirt and bark dropped away from the phone like the water had. Electricity sparked out of the phone and Cat's fingers as well as out of her hair, though her hair didn't frizz up like it would on normal people. Cat took the battery from Sophie and plugged it back in before hitting the on button. It light up and to life. Sophie grinned
"You really are a genius" she complimented
"Well, I don't mean to brag, but…" Cat smirked, Sophie rolled her eyes
"Alright, don't let it go to your head" she mumbled.
"Come on, lets get back. Before one of the boys eats my crumble" Cat decided before turning away.
"Is food all you ever think about?" Sophie questioned
"No. It's just you tore me away while I was eating, so that's what's currently on my mind" Cat confessed. They walked through the trees in silence, Sophie went through her phone checking everything before putting it in her back pocket. She suddenly froze, Cat turned to her confused
"Sophie…?" her expression changed immediately when she saw her sisters face. Sophie looked up at the sky jump in time to see two figures drop down on them. A man ran at Sophie and knocked her to the ground. The women with him launched at Cat causing the two to go rolling along the ground. Sophie went to stand up but the man had her in his hands before she had the chance. He threw her again before grabbing her by the neck and picking her up, slamming her against the near by tree. Cat punched the women but, after squalling on the ground for a while, she sat on top of Cat, her hand on her throat also. Cat looked up at her, she had black hair and green eyes, she wasn't pale, but tanned, she wasn't cold, but a normal temperature. There was nothing vampire about her, and nothing that seemed odd about her, except for the fact that she'd just dropped from the sky. Cat struggled under her grasp but the women's fingers only tightened on Cat's neck, her nails digging into her skin.
Sophie's POV.
I looked down at the man, his fingers were locked around my throat as he pinned me against the tree. I grabbed his wrist, trying to pull him away from me, trying to get him to stop. I didn't get to use anything to get him off me, he was strong, to strong for a mere human. I didn't understand, why did he just come and attack us out of the blue like this? I looked down at him, there was something about his face, he seemed so familiar, like I knew him from somewhere. His brown eyes sparked a warning, I immediately became wary of him, the way he looked at me worried me. It was ridiculous. I knew I knew him from somewhere. And yet, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember where from. Every time I tried to search my memories, it was as though I came up against a wall, a wall that was hiding something important from me on the other side. It wasn't natural. Was I afraid of what was on the other side of the wall? Was that why it was there? To protect me from something awful? Or had I had a frightening experience that caused me to lock the memories away? The dark haired man sneered at me, an awful grin on his face. I couldn't move my head, I couldn't even turn it to see where Cat had gone. Was she alright? Was it only I that had gotten into trouble? If so, where was she?
"Seems it doesn't matter how much effort they put in, we'll always find you." he said. They? Who was they? Why were these people looking for us? And who was we? "Pity, you seem just as helpless as last time" he continued. Last time? What last time? Was this what was hidden behind the wall? Had this happened before?
"Cat" I called out "Are you alright?" I began to panic before I heard her voice
"Define alright?" she said. I would have let out a sigh of relief had this guy had not been semi-cutting off my airways.
"You're alive, that's ok" I answered
"For now" she muttered
"Why?"
"Some bitch is strangling me" she answered, so she was in trouble, two of them had come to find us… though I still didn't understand why.
"It's amazing how every time you grow up to look the exact same" the man said
"What?" I questioned, though it came out as a gasp. The man sighed.
"They still haven't told you. What terrible people they are, hiding the truth" he tutted
"Who?" I squeaked out. He lowered me down and pulled my face closer to his.
"Poor Sophie. Kept in the dark and lied to your whole life" he said, almost pitifully. My eyes widened, he knew my name! So I did know him… he at least knew me.
"Who are you?" I asked
"Seems you don't remember that either." he said, looking me over. I was getting sick of all this beating around the bush, why did he have to answer in hidden text, why couldn't he just answer me straight? I heard a scream from behind me, as well as the sound of electricity sparking, hidden behind the cries. I glared down at the man who looked in the direction of the noise. My temperature began to drop dramatically, more quickly than anything. The man gasped and looked at me, I glared at him and watched as my hands turned his into a popsicle. His hand was turning blue as hypothermia ran from me into his skin, if he didn't let go his entire body would be infected and then turn black and break away. It seemed he was smarter than that cause he released me. I fell to the ground and took a deep breath before looking up at him. I watched as his hand immediately turned back to normal
"What the hell?" I questioned, no one recovered from something like that. They were supposed to be stuck with the blue, sick limb forever unless they got it removed, my type of hypothermia was incurable except by me. I looked at him confused, how did he heal that in a second? He reached for me again I narrowed my eyes and he froze. He began to choke. He grabbed his throat and struggled for air, collapsing onto his knees before keeling over. I released my hold on him just as he fell unconscious and he began to breath again. I wasn't going to kill him, I now had heaps of questions and as far as I knew, he was the only one with the answers. I felt a hand on my wrist as I stood up, it was Cat.
"You alright?" she asked. I nodded
"You?" she nodded back
"Come on. Let's leave before they wake up" she pulled me into the sky and we flew into the air, not leaving a trace of where we'd headed behind.
"What the hell was all that about?" I questioned, still holding Cat's hand
"I have no idea" she admitted "Did he say anything to you?"
"Yeah, that no matter how hard someone tried they would always find us, and that we still seemed as helpless as the last time… something about me also looking the same no matter how many times I grew up. Something about someone being horrible and keeping the truth from us, always lying, and…" I looked at her "Cat he knew my name. He said something about being lied to my whole life"
"That women said something similar. Something about me being useless and questioning why someone took us away and hid us, and how she was glad the search was over after so long…" Cat said. I thought
"Did she seem familiar to you?" I wondered, she looked at me but didn't answer "That man. I feel like I know him. I tried to remember but I kept coming up against some… wall."
"A wall?" she questioned
"Yes, like there was something blocking my mind. Blocking… something." I explained
"Why would your memories be locked away?" she asked
"I don't know, but I bet some of yours have been too. How could I not remember something and you have no idea about it. We're always together" she narrowed her eyes and thought, a look of annoyance entered her face.
"Someone's been tampering with us" she muttered. I glared and went back to looking ahead of me. Before I had questions, I'd managed to find things that kind of answered them, but now…
"Poor Sophie. Kept in the dark and lied to your whole life". Now I wasn't so sure.
Third Person POV.
The man sat up, coughing. He looked around, the two twins were gone, he couldn't see anything as to which direction they'd headed in. He looked over and saw his partner lying on the ground, looking charred and burnt, he walked over to her and touched her forehead she immediately went back to normal and sat up.
"Are you alright?" he asked her
"Yes. Thank you" she stood up and brushed herself down "What was that about? I thought they didn't have the ability to do things like that?" she questioned confused
"I don't know. But I've never seen power like that. It is not anything common among us" the man answered thinking
"Is it heard of?" she wondered.
"I'm not sure. But we're going to have to inform the higher up's of this" the man decided firmly. The women nodded before both launched up into the air and soared off.
Cat and Sophie landed on the ground outside Emily's house and took a breather.
"Should we tell them about this?" Sophie asked
"Not sure. We only just got them used to leaving us alone and being sure we'd be safe…" Cat sighed
"They're gonna stick to us like glue after this aren't they?" Sophie muttered with a frown
"Yep…" Cat groaned
"So…" Sophie asked
"They'll get angry if we don't…" Cat muttered
"They'll get angry if we do" Sophie said. The twins looked at one another worried
"You're back" they turned to see all the wolves file out of the door.
"I saved your dessert for you girls" Emily smiled, they smiled awkwardly. Jacob and Embry looked at them before realising something was up
"What happened?" they asked, immediately expecting the worse
"Nothing" they answered, but their answer was hesitantly.
"Cat" Jacob walked up to her, a serious expression on his face
"Quick, make a decision do we tell them or not?" Cat questioned
"Why do I need to decide?" Sophie questioned
"Cause you make better decisions than I do" Cat answered
"Sophie, what's the matter?" Embry asked, not as forceful as Jacob, the twins glanced at one another.
"We… ran into a little… trouble on the way back" Sophie shrugged
"Trouble?" the boys asked
"Did you burn them to a crisp?" Leah smirked standing next to Cat
"Not exactly" she said slowly
"What happened?" Jacob demanded. Cat crossed her arms and sighed
"We were on out way back when these two… people jumped down from the sky and attacked us, a women and a man." she began
"They weren't vampires." Sophie immediately, "They were… something, but they looked so normal. I gave the guy who attacked me hypothermia but… he healed it, which can't be done with my hypothermia, it's different. It can't be healed by anyone but me. And he healed himself in the second."
"I electrocuted the women who attacked me, she survived. Considering I was angry it was quite a high voltage and should have, accidentally, stopped her heart, but it didn't. They were weird" Cat explained
"What did they want?" Sam asked
"Us" they chorused. The boys growled
"Why?" Jared asked
"We don't know. They were speaking as though they knew us. The guy even knew my name, he was saying things like I had been lied to and that we'd met before and that someone was hiding us from them." Sophie explained
"Did they say why?" Embry wondered, they shook their heads
"Every question we asked, they avoided" Cat answered
"Why would they be after you though?" Seth asked
"We don't know. As far as we know the only people who know about us are you guys and the Cullens" Sophie thought. "We never told anyone else"
"Maybe the Cullens…" Leah began
"I don't think so" Sophie disagreed
"Maybe we should go and asked them, I don't believe they'd do something like that but, just incase?" Cat suggested, Sophie nodded
"Just in case" she repeated.
"We'll see you later" Sophie told Embry before kissing him
"Wait, what if they're still after you? You said you didn't kill them?" Jacob worried
"We got away? I'm sure we'll be fine." Cat assured him
"I'm coming with you" Jacob decided
"Dude, you can't. The treaty? The treaty line? You can't cross it" Cat reminded him "At least you're not supposed to"
"We can, they can't" Leah corrected.
"You want to wade right into the vampire nest?" Sophie asked "You sure?"
"Anything to protect you" Embry said
"We'll be fine. We're not gonna dilly dally, we're gonna run straight there. So… we'll see you later" Cat said, she kissed Jacob, grabbed Sophie's arm and dragged her away in the same second.
"Cat!" Jacob called. As they ran off
"Well that went well" Sophie muttered
"As well as we thought it would" Cat sighed.
"We're in trouble later" Sophie worried
"I'm kind of scared" Cat mumbled
"Let's deal with this first" Sophie decided. They reached the Cullen house quickly and ran up to the door. They knocked but didn't wait for an answer before they ran in. They appeared in the living room where everyone was looking at them confused
"Cat, Sophie?" Alice said standing up "What's up?" Cat sighed
"We needed to ask you guys something" she said
"Anything?" Carlisle promised. The twins looked at one another
"Have you guys told anyone about us?" they blurted out. The Cullens looked at them confused
"Of course not" Esme answered. They nodded
"We didn't think you would but, we had to check" Sophie admitted
"Why? What happened?" Jasper asked. The girls exhaled
"Something happened…" Sophie admitted. They explained what had happened to the Cullens, but in a little more detail than what they did to the pack.
"We have only told you guys and the pack and we do not understand how these two people knew us, we thought they might have been after us because of what we could do, but we didn't know how they knew about that" Sophie rambled
"Actually. Now that I think about it, that women was pretty surprised before I zapped her" Cat muttered, Sophie looked at her and thought
"Maybe they didn't know…" she mumbled
"They do now" Cat grumbled
"Woops" Sophie whispered
"But how did they know you at all?" Alice wondered, the twins shook their heads
"But I got a source of recognition when I looked at that man. Like a knew him" Sophie repeated again.
"This is just so… confusing" Cat admitted, putting her head into her hands
"Yeah, we now have more questioned than we ever did answers" Sophie nodded
"I'm sure there's an explanation for all of this" Carlisle assured them. They nodded
"You told those dogs this right?" Rosalie asked
"Yep" they nodded
"And they just let you go on your own again?" she questioned. They sighed
"No" Cat answered. "No where close. I dragged Sophie off before they could argue"
"We didn't really think any of you would be happy with them both here" Sophie said.
"So you left them?" Alice asked, they nodded
"They didn't give us much of an option" Cat admitted
"We'll deal with that later" Sophie decided "I think this is a bit more important. We have two unknown… creatures after us and we don't know why"
"Do you think we will ever have anything close to normal lives?" Cat asked
"We're dating werewolves, friends with vampires and control the elements. No" Sophie admitted, causing the Cullens to chuckle.
"Well, we just wanted to ask that one thing of you guys. As a precaution. We're sorry for just barging in" Sophie apologised as she stood up.
"Yeah, sorry" Cat said stand up also
"No that's alright. We understand" Carlisle assured them "And if you two ever need anything…"
"We'll know to ask" Sophie smiled "Come on Cat"
"Do we have to go, I'm kind of scared" Cat muttered
"We'll be fine" Sophie took her hand "See you all later" she smiled before dragging Cat out of the room.
"Back home?" Cat asked when they were outside
"Back home" Sophie nodded, she bit her lip, also a little worried about the wrath that was waiting for them. They didn't hurry back home, they didn't walk but they didn't rush. The twins saw their home as they exited the forest
"Are they here?" Sophie wondered
"I don't want to check" Cat muttered. The girls slowly walked towards the front door.
"We're home" they called when they opened it
"Welcome back" Their mother greeted as she walked past the door.
"Have we missed much?" Sophie wondered
"No" Caren smiled.
"What are we having for dinner tonight?" Cat asked, stalling
"I'm not sure yet, I might cook some pizza" Caren thought
"You're still hungry? After all that food Emily made?" Sophie asked
"No, I just don't wanna go upstairs" Cat answered
"You coward" Sophie said. She took Cat's hand
"Come on" she said and leading her upstairs. Cat whined. They walked into Cat's room and shut the door. The two girls turned around to see both boys standing there with their arms crossed.
"This was a bad idea. Let's make a run for it" Cat decided
"So, you'll be happy to know that the Cullens didn't say anything. Like we thought" Sophie said, Cat looked at her like she was mad "Though we now think that those two didn't know anything about us in the beginning, they were too surprised with we counteracted them" she admitted. Nothing. Just silence
"Will you two stop standing there and say something?!" Cat burst. "You're driving me insane" she muttered
"How could you just leave like that?! Do you have any idea what could have happened to you?" Jacob blurted out
"Nothing? We're not human, we've had this conversation, remember" Cat said back, keeping her voice low.
"You could have gotten hurt" Embry said
"So could you, everything single time you go on patrol" Cat answered
"We…"
"Don't you dare" Cat cut him off, knowing what he was about to say.
"We know you two are worried. But this takes us straight back to the argument we had before the newborn fight" Sophie said calmly
"That was different, this time we have no idea who these people are, or what they're capable of" Embry worried, walking over to her
"I know. But we will be fine, there aren't many things they can do to us. We aren't easily wounded, nor are we easily captured or killed off" Sophie assured him "Remember… you'll know if we're injured"
"We didn't today" Jacob admitted
"We weren't injured that's why" Sophie explained
"You were being attacked" he said
"But we weren't hurt" Cat said, she walked over to him and placed a hand on his cheek "You've got to stop freaking out every time something like this happens. We aren't normal, of course we're going to get into trouble. It's always happened to us, but we've always over come it"
"There's a first for everything" he worried
"That's something you say when something seems impossible. It's a motivator, not a down bringer" Cat pouted disappointed
"Jake," Sophie began, he looked at her "We have each other, and as long as we're together, we will be fine. Nothing is stronger than the two of us combined"
"Not that you know of" Jacob muttered
"Will you stop being so negative and let me cheer you up" Sophie said annoyed. Jacob sighed but grinned
"Sorry, but thinking about you hurt…"
"I know. I know" Cat waved it away "You're told me before. A lot"
"I just want to make sure you understand"
"I do. Perfectly" she nodded smiling. "Call it truce?" he smirked
"Sure" he nodded. Cat let out a sighed
"Thank god" she muttered "That was less painful than I excepted" Sophie giggled
"Told you it'd be fine" she chuckled
"Shut up" Cat crossed her arms.
"Girls. We have a letter" Caren called up. The twins looked at one another
"A letter?" Cat wondered
"For all of us?" Sophie wondered
"Coming" Cat called back "We'll be right back" Cat told Jacob before they filed out of Cat's room and down the stairs
"What is it?" Sophie asked entering the kitchen
"We don't know. We thought we'd let you open it" John smiled
"Alright, Cat?" Sophie offered, Cat picked up the envelope on the table and opened it up. She looked at he contents, it was a thick ivory stiff paper. Expensive. Too fancy for Forks. The card was in the layers of see-through, petal-printed pages. Cat read it and her eyes widened.
"It's Bella's invite" she said
"Invite?" Caren wondered, Sophie took it to take a look
"Wow, Alice out did herself" she mumbled looking at the card
"What's the invite too?" John wondered. Sophie handed in the invitation, he read over it, Caren looking over his shoulder.
"A wedding?" John asked, the twins nodded. Sophie looked at the envelope on the table, she noticed something in it.
"There's more?" she pulled it out and unfolded the paper, she read through it an her expression dropped. "Oh god"
"What?" Cat looked at it, her expression did the same. The piece of paper was an itinerary for the brides maids. "Alice is getting ahead of herself" Cat muttered
"What's it for?" Caren asked
"Bella asked us to be her bridesmaids." Sophie smiled as Cat took the paper from her
"And this is our itinerary" she muttered
"Oh" Caren smiled happily "My babies, bridesmaids. I bet you're going to be absolutely beautiful" she pulled them into a hug
"Why didn't you tell us about her wedding?" John wondered
"Well, we couldn't tell you until Bella told Charlie, otherwise you'd go and congratulate him, and he'd have no idea what you were talking about" Sophie explained
"That's why, we couldn't spoil Bella's announcement" Cat nodded
"I guess this means both Bella's parents are ok with it" Sophie smiled
"Charlie might just be baring with it, but not accepting" Cat thought
"Maybe" Sophie sighed
"Oh, this is exciting" Cat smiled, she than frowned "Though this list is so long" Sophie giggled
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can get through to Alice and make her lighten up a little" she smiled
"I hope so" Cat mumbled. She than remembered something "This means Jake's going to get an invite…" Sophie glanced at her "How do you think he'll react?"
"Not sure" Sophie muttered "It does mean the ever drawing near deadline of hers" Cat sighed
"Oh dear" she muttered.
Cat's POV.
I heard Jacob jump into my room. It was about two in the morning, he'd had patrol so I wasn't surprised he was late. He sat on the bed next to me, but didn't do anything, usually he'd give me a hug, a kiss on the cheek, something. This time he just sat there. I had my back to him so I guessed he didn't know I was awake. He seemed upset, it wasn't often he came and sulked with me present. I thought
"You got the invite" I said softly, realising it's what had caused his mood.
"You knew?" he asked, his voice barely higher than a whisper
"I'm a bridesmaid" I answered truthfully
"How long have you known?" he wondered
"Since before the newborn fight. I over heard them talking about it in the tent" I explained
"And you didn't tell me?" he sounded disappointed
"It wasn't my place to. Bella had to tell you, not me" I answered. Silence. I turned over and looked at him, he was frowning. I sat up and placed my arms around his waist, leaning my head on his shoulder. "How do you feel about this?" I wondered
"She's marrying a bloodsucker. He's going to turn her in to one of them. I'm going to loose my best friend" he listed
"She's not gonna be gone"
"She might as well be"
"Jake" I looked at him stunned "How can you say that?"
"She's going to be one of them" he repeated
"Would you rather be crying at her tombstone, or able to see her standing in front of you? Just she'd be a little different. She's my friend too, and I'd rather see her as a vampire than gone forever" I admitted
"You're not stopping her" he said disapproving
"Because I don't want to stop her from being with the person she loves most in the world" I said in a whisper "I'd rather see her changed and happy than how she was when I first met her. The first time I saw Bella, she looked dead. I don't wanna see her like that again. Don't you want her to be happy?" he didn't answer but he did sigh "I understand if you don't want to go to the wedding, but don't wish her dead like that" I muttered
"Bella didn't want to invite me" he eventually said, I frowned
"She did, she just… didn't want to hurt you" I muttered. We fell into silence for a while before he placed an arm around me and held me to him. I looked up at his face
"Bridesmaid huh?" he smirked, I rolled my eyes
"Sounds better than it is, Alice sent us an itinerary" I scowled
"Sounds like you're gonna be busy" he sighed
"No more than you are" I smiled.
"Guess I'm going to have to make use of every second" he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine, they moulded together perfectly. I ran my hand down his biceps, the feel of his muscles got me every time, he was just to hot for his own good. He leaned forwards, pushing me to lie on my back as he hovered over me. I felt his abs, his pecks till my hands made it to his colour bone and around his neck. He let out a few moans, guess my touch made him as crazy as his made me. His hand was under my top and tracing circles around my belly button. He moved it and brushed it down my thigh, this time I moaned, I felt his grin against my lips and he did it again. He moved from my lips and kissed along my jaw line, down my neck and as far down my chest as my top would let him
"It's gotta be dangerous to have as much control over someone as you do over me" I muttered. He grinned
"I'm the one trying to control myself" he said softly
"Why? It's not like you can break me" I smiled and pulled his lips back up to mine.
