Chapter 18: Glazed Swan
~Edythe~
I was leaning back in the seat of my silver Chevy Impala in the Forks high school parking lot. I could not wait for the day to be over to go out and find Red tonight. Looking at the clock to see it go from 7:44 to 7:45 at an alarmingly slow pace.
Alice was sitting in my passenger seat and Jasper was sitting in the back behind her. Alice spoke as the clock continued to stay at 7:45. "I'm sorry Edythe but you will not see him until tomorrow night."
I turn to look at her, getting a glimpse at the future she just saw. She has been getting better at seeing the future between Red's blind spots.
"How can you tell I will not see Red today." She responds with a smile "It is simple your future does not disappear until tomorrow evening and does not reaper until Wednesday morning at school."
About to ask her for more details when the loud sound of a truck coming down the road rattled my windows. I covered my ears for a bit to adjust to the noise.
An old red Chevy steel body truck pulled into a parking spot and killed its loud engine.
The three of us watched a girl that looked as pale as one of us get out of it. She had long dark brown hair and from the thought, of my siblings. We all thought she was a Vampire until she turns to show us brown eyes.
Closing the door to her truck she was heading for the office building. Alice spoke up. "That must be the new girl Bella Swan. It looks like she is not paying attention to the ground."
"What does that mean?" I asked.
Jasper spoke from the back seat. "There is a spot in the parking lot where all the leaking oil from cars and trucks collect. When it gets cold like this it becomes a slipping hazer all the students avoid the spot."
Sure enough, we all watched Ms. Swan step right onto the spot. Her arms windmill comely as she slips on the patch of black ice.
~Bella~
Turning off my new truck I grabbed my bag. Hoping out of the truck, I closed the door and put my key in my pocket. It was chilly outside, the wind blowing my long brown hair around my face.
I could feel people staring at me. Keeping my head up looking straight ahead to the office building. I walked across the two empty parking spots near the sidewalk.
I was just wondering way nobody parks here when my right foot went out from under me.
Throwing out my arms to keep my balance as I slide on the solid sheet of black ice coating this parking spot.
My left-hand flailing as I was about to fall, someone grabbed my left wrist and pulled me off the black ice.
I am pulled into strong arms, lifted off the ground, and set down onto the sidewalk. The arms let me go, I turn around to face the person who saved me.
I let out a *gasp* as I took in the tall, slim, tanned muscular guy with light blue eyes that seemed to be shining.
With my pale skin, the blush I could feel on my face would not be hard for this hot guy to see. He spoke then, his voice was cool and sounded amazing to me. "You must be new here, everyone in this small town knows not to walk close to those two hazard spots."
He gestured to the two parking spots I slid across. I managed to get out still blushing. "Thanks, for saving me, I'm Bella. As you can tell this is my first day."
He gave me a smile. "Well, you should know that these are not the only slipper spots that show up on chilly mornings at this school. Another one is…."
He was cut off as a girl slily tall than me with tanner skin and long straight black hair said. "Fairwind, come on I have to get to class. I would like to spend as much time with you before class, you were busy Sunday."
The guy with the strange name of Fairwind stepped back from me to put his arms around the girl's chest just under her breast. I watched as he leaned down to kiss her right cheek.
I felt a pang of disappointment, of course this hot guy had a girlfriend. The girl saw me and smiled. "Oh, you must be Isabela Swan, the whole town has heard you are coming. I'm Jennifers Marks but please call me Jenn, like everyone does."
"You are Deputy Marks's daughter. Well, Jenn please call me Bella, I prefer it."
"Well then Bella, we better get to our classes, see you around."
Jenn stepped out of the hot Fairwind's arms, then reached back to tug him along with her right hand on his left wrist. Fairwind waved to me with his free right hand and spoke. "Be careful Bella don't let the pups fight over you."
What does that mean I thought as the bell rang. Checking my phone, I saw it was 7:55 meaning that the five-minute bell had just rang. I walked quickly but carefully looked out for more slippery spots.
Making it into the office without slipping, I walk up to the woman at the front desk.
"Excuse me, Ms. Cope." The woman raised her head to look at me. "Yes?" she said with a questioning tone. "I'm Bella Swan, I came to get my schedule."
Ms. Cope reaches for a packet on the desk to her right. Looking at the page she handed it to me. "Here you go all your class, book list and map of the school are inside. If you have questions about getting to any of your classes, do not hesitate to ask a staff member or a fellow student."
I open the packet to find my schedule and an overly reprinted map that is impossible to read. "Ms. Cope how do I get to Mr. Mason's English class."
"If you go to the large building that houses most of the classes. Use door F1 or F2. the E doors get a little slippery."
"Ok, thank you." I headed out of the office for my first class. Getting there just as the final bell rang. The teacher just handed me an English book and told me to take a seat. I sat in an empty chair next to an excited-looking boy.
Soon as I put my bag down, he spoke. "Hey, I'm Mike you must be Isabela." I held in my sigh, knowing that my dad had probably told everyone that Isabela was coming to live with him. Even though he knew I preferred Bella, I was going to have to correct everyone.
It should not take me long, it was a small town after all. "It's Bella and nice to meet you, Mike." I gave him a small smile.
I did not get a chance to read my book or study the material because Mike kept asking me questions. Like what made me decide to move to Forks. Was I staying until I graduate, what did I like to do in my free time, and even more boring questions.
The bell finally rang for the end of English class. I head out of the class just for Mike to follow me to my next class. I sat at a different table than his. He sat at a table behind me and continued to ask me questions.
Instead of snapping at him to leave me alone, I ask him a question instead. "Mike, have you heard what is up with the Wolf packs, my dad said they were causing problems."
Mike fell silent and bit his lip like he was thinking about what he could say. The teacher, Mr. Jefferson, came over to us. "Mike, could you answer the question?"
"I well I, don't know, um could I get the page number?" Mike sounded embarrassed. As I kept my head down in my book on the correct page. I started writing the answers to the assigned questions.
"Well, Mike if you could stop distracting the new girl and work you would know the answer. It's question three on page 127."
After the bell rang, I picked up my bag to head to my next class. Mike told me where to find it as he heads to his own class. He never answered my question about the Wolf pack.
In my next two classes, I made friends with a girl named Jessica and we walked together heading for the cafeteria.
Getting my food, I followed Jessica to a table with two other girls at it. I recognized one as Jenn and the other was a tall girl with light brown hair with honey-colored streaks in it.
Sitting down Jessica spoke up. "This is Bella, my new friend. Bella this is Angela and Jenn."
Jessica pointed to the tall girl first then to Jenn. Jenn spoke up "We sort of met this morning. How are your classes going."
I smiled at her and looked around the cafeteria not seeing any sight of the hot guy she was with this morning. "It has been great so far, besides my slip this morning. I do not see him here, I thought all our lunches were at the same time."
Before Jenn could reply Jessica spoke. "Oh, do you mean that hot Fairwind guy Jenn had been dating for the last 3 weeks now?"
"Yes?" I said in a questioning tone. This time Jenn answered "He does not go to our school. I met him on my shopping trip in Seattle. He goes to high school there."
"That makes sense, what about the two of you? Do either one of you have a boyfriend or guy you are into?"
Jessica, who seemed to be the more forward of the two, spoke. "We do not have a boyfriend. I would say we all have a guy we crush on but none of the girls here are good enough for him." Saying this like she tried and gave up on wooing this guy.
"Who is it?" Jessica turned her head to look at a table in the back corner of the cafeteria. I turn to see a group of boys and girls sitting at the farthest table from the rest of the students.
I noticed that all their trays were full of food. Then I looked at their faces to see they were all pale except for the tall girl with long bronze hair, sitting next to a taller guy with the same collared hair. Her skin had a light tan complexion compared to the chalk white of the rest.
I was staring when all of them looked up to stare at me. I turn back to my friend, embarrassed at getting caught.
I lowered my voice. "[Witch one, they all look good. Well, the guy at least.]"
Jessica and Angela smeared at me while Jenn just shrugged. Jenn said out loud for the other tables to hear. "My guy looks way better than all of them combined."
I saw Jessica roll her eyes at that comment. "[The one I'm talking about is Edward, he is the one with bronze hair sting next to his sitter.]"
Angela spoke in a low whisper. "[They are all brothers and sitter.]"
I was confused when Jenn spoke. "[Adopted brother and sisters. The Hales which are those two, Rose and Jasper are Esme Cullen's, 2nd cousins. Their parents died in an accident, so she took them in. The rumor is she cannot have kids of her own. Alice and Emmit, the big one, were adopted young. Lastly, Edward and his sister Edythe's relatives passed away due to sickness. They do not talk about it.]"
I looked back at Edward and Edythe, turning back to my friends. "[That sounds awful. To lose your whole family that way.]"
"[Something more strange, is they are all together. Like dating and stuff.]"
For a second I thought she was talking about all together like brother and sister stuff, but quickly I remembered they said Edward was not dating anyone.
I lowered my voice and leaned in. "[Just curious, is Edythe dating someone.]"
I knew I made a mistake when Jessica gave me a smile that said she was going to make a joke about me asking if a good-looking girl like Edythe Cullen was seeing someone.
*Bring* The end of lunch bell saves me. "Saved by the bell." I said smiling.
I was heading to my Biology 2 class and Angela was following me. Turning to look at her, she said. "I have the same class and do not mind Jessica she is energetic. To answer your question, it is yes. Edythe is dating a guy going to the same school Jenn's boyfriend is going to."
Entering the class Angela left me at the front to take her seat. Mr. Banner looked at me. He did not make me introduce myself to the class just said. "Ah, Ms. Swan there is an empty seat next to Cullen in the back."
Cullen, I thought as I turned to see Edward Cullen sitting at a desk by himself. His right hand was under his chin looking bored.
On my way to the back of the class, I mumbled under my breath. "[Definitely hot as Fairwind.]" Edward's mouth quirked up into a smile, like he heard me.
Sitting down next to him, I ran my hand through my hair making sure it was not a mess from the wind.
Turning to say hi. He was rigid in his seat and leaning as far as he could from me. His hands were clamped down on the wooden table.
*Creek, Crack* sound came from the table as he gripped it. I could not tell but it looked like he was compressing the grain of wood together.
I could not hear his breathing or see him make any movement. It was like he was a sculpture put in clothes to sit in this class for eternity.
"Hello, are you ok?" I reached out my hand but he leaned away from my touch and the creaking of the wood increased.
"Do you need me to get the teacher?" He shook his head no. "Do you want me to leave you alone?" I asked a little upset that he was so rude to me. Jessica said he does not date but not that he is a jerk about it.
He nodded his head yes. Huffing with annoyance, I start working on the assignment and occasionally made glancing looks at Edward.
When the bell finally rang, I decided to confront him on his rudeness, I did not get a chance because he turned his black eyes to me before sprinting from the room.
The student in the front of the class looked shocked by Edward's behavior. They all looked at me, to tell them what I did to the quite pretty boy.
Ducking my head, I quickly headed to my next class. Trying to keep my head down and walking quickly was not good. I stumble over my own feet, crashing into someone. We both fell to the ground.
"Ow, What the. Oh, Bella are you ok?" Mike helps me to my feet. Looking around my face goes red as I see everyone in the gym staring at me.
Ducking my head, I make it into the locker room. Changing I head back out to find that we are doing push up and light jogging around the gym.
I make it through gym class without tripping too many times. After class, I headed for my truck. I could feel someone watching me. Looking around I see four of the Cullens standing around a silver Impala. Edward is not one of them and I do not see the silver Volvo that was parked next to the Impala. Instead, there is a red BMW with a blond girl glaring at me.
Getting in my truck I do not look their way as I start my truck and drive out of the lot.
Making it home, I made dinner before Charlie got home. Putting the leftovers in the oven I head out the back door. Charlie told me to wait till tomorrow night to go into the wood.
Watching my step, I made it to an old stone bench. Sitting I looked up at the darkening sky. I began whistling, after five minutes I heard a rustling and the crunch of frosted ground.
Turning to the sound, I saw the large glittering silver eyes of a Wolf. "Snow Crystal is that you?" The She-Wolf walked right up to me sitting on the bench.
Smiling I said. "It is you; you can tell it's me, Bella." Reaching out my hand Crystal bumped it with her large cotton white head with light summer white lines in her fur. That travels along both sides of her muzzle up around her eyes back down her neck. Marking her as the SunWolf Princess.
As always, her fur was soft and her breath was hot as she growled lowly like a purr. She sat down in front of the bench and pressed her shoulder into my right side, placing her head on my right shoulder. Chuckling, I wrap my arms around her worm neck.
"I live here with my father now. I can come and see you every night, is that ok?"
She pulled back her head and sighed. {Not safe. I will come to you.}
I have known Snow Crystal since she was a pup little over six years now, in that time I have picked up the Wolf's language.
"Why is it dangerous? What is going on with the pack?" She just sighed. {Humans} and then put her head back on my shoulder and growl purred.
~Edward~
~Biology 2~
The Bella mind was silent to me, if I had not met that dam Wolf dating my sister it would have freaked me out. I could not tell from a distance if she was a Shifter or not.
The scent of a Shifter was repulsive, it made all of us except Edythe go into high alert of danger. I did my one research on the Supernatural being that my kind calls the Red Shadow. It was not a pleasant one, for the Vampires who faced him.
Turning my thoughts back to the human-filled classroom. I waited for Bella to speak with Mr. Banner, I could not tell her scent or feel any fear from the humans about Bella. I have seen over the years that everyday humans ignore their internal instincts.
In the last ten years, I have had girls come up to me, grab my arm to proclaim I am their boyfriend. I just shake them off like my sister us to do.
Mr. Banner told Bella to have a seat in the empty chair next to me. She walked unsteadily like her legs did not do as she told them to. It could be an act to throw off people from finding out she could be Supernatural.
Sitting down her face gets flushed then she does that girl flip thing my sisters and I find ridiculous.
Her scent hit me, and I almost spun in my chair to sink my teeth into her neck. Bella's scent was better than anything I have ever scented in my existence. The scent of the Red Wolf through my sister's mind had no comparison.
My mouth started watering, I had to swallow back my venom. *Creek* I look down to see I was gripping the wood table so tightly my fingers were leaving indents in the grain.
I was sitting so rigid and not breathing that she began to ask me if I was ok. All I could do was nod as I fought with the monster inside me not to press my mouth to her throat.
For the rest of the class which seemed to go on longer than normal, I ignored Bella Swan. *Bring* the bell finally rang. I was out of my seat and across the room to the door a bit too fast for a human.
I could not help turning one last time to Bella with my eyes black with thirst. Then I was out the door running for my Volvo. Making it to the door of my car I took several breaths of fresh air. "Alice, I need you."
Alice appears less than two minutes, next to me. "Edward, what is wrong." She reaches up and grabs my head making me look down at her. From her though I could hear her next word as she looked at my black eyes. "Edward, we were worried about coming to school like this. You should have come with us last night to hunt."
"I know, it's just this new girl, Bella she smells…" Alice held up her hand, "Stop, you going to go out for a hunt right now. After we will all talk about it."
I turned to leave but she grabbed my arm. "No, take your car, and do not get close to Bella's house." I was going to ask why when I saw the vision Alice had.
~Vison~
Bella was sitting on a stone bench whistling. She stopped whistling to say. "Snow Crystal is that you?" Something came out of the forest, it was big and a distorted blur. The blur came up to Bella. She reaches out her hand to touch the thing. The moment Bella touches it a lancing pain shot through my head. I jerk back from Alice, closing out her thoughts.
~Vison End~
I watched Alice stagger back as the vision collapses. She was clutching her head and as she stepped back, Jasper appears behind her.
He wraps his arms around her waist, I could feel him using his powers to sooth his mate. I was about to get into my car when Alice spoke lowly. "[Be careful Edward, whatever protecting her is dangerous, even to us.]"
I drop my Volvo off at the house and ran into the forest. It did not take me long to find a dear to sink my teeth into. I drank it dry but the thought of its neck being Bella's had me searching for another dear.
After my fifth one, I was so full that thinking about Bella's scent did not have me griping a tree to stop myself.
I was on my way back home when I came to a house. Looking around I saw Bella's red Chevy truck. Ok, I would just look around and be extra careful like Alice said.
I could hear someone in the house making noise, and smell cooking food. I took a step out of the trees into the cleared area marking the Swan's property.
The moment my foot touched the grass I felt chills run down my back. Something was watching me, and it was not happy that I was there.
I could not take another step, my sense of danger was telling me to back away from the house and run for home.
A growled tone of voice that I could not tell if it was male, or female spoke in my mind. "(Crystal) Leave Vampire you are not welcome here."
I could not tell where the thoughts came from, so I spoke and only turned my head slowly to look around. "I came to see Bella."
"(Crystal) She is not yours, Vampire. Leave!"
"I just wanted to…" *GRR* The growl was so loud and menacing that I, an over 100-year-old Vampire turned and ran as fast as I could away from Bella Swan's house.
Making it back to the house, I opened the door and quickly closed it behind me. My fear must have come to Jasper's attention because he came running into the living room.
Alice was right beside him, she took one look at me and said loud enough for the whole house to hear. "EDWARD CULLEN, I warned you not to."
My whole family except for Edythe, rushed into the room. Esme spoke first, "What happened, Edward are you all right." I stayed silent and looked down at the floor, so Esme looked at Alice.
Alice was about to tell everyone about her vision when *Ring, Burr, Ring* came from Alice's cell phone.
Alice gave me the most intense scowl I have seen from her as she pulled out her cell.
Looking at the ID and sighing as she answers the call. "Hello Red, what can I do for you." we could all hear the Lycan's growly voice. C: "You could tell your brother to stay away from Ms. Swan. He nearly got his leg taken off today."
Esme spoke up, "I thought Supernatural beings would not attack us."
Red must have heard her because he responded kindly. "That is true Esme but if you threaten them or pose a threat to someone they care about. She did tell Edward to leave. I just called to give Edward a warning. If he wants to peruse Bella, he will need Snow Crystil's approval first. It does not matter if he is after her body or her blood."
I let out a choking sound and snack the phone from Alice. "Listen here Wolf I'm not interested in either one of those things. If this Snow Crystal has Bella Swan claimed, I am happy for her."
C: "Well then that is good. I know everyone can hear me so by, I have a Wolf meeting to attend."
The rest of my family said "By" loud enough for Red to hear as the call ended.
I handed the phone back to Alice. Esme spoke, "Ok Edward tell us what happened."
I told them about my encounter with Bella in Biology class and the vision Alice had. Pretty much everything until I walked into the house.
Esme came up to me after I finished talking, with a serious expression on her face. She grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. "Please Edward and this go for all of you, I do not want to ever see one of you get ripped apart by a Wolf."
I wraped my arms around my loving mother. "I'm sorry I did not listen to Alice and put off feeding for so long."
After all the talking I headed upstairs to shower off all the dirt from my hunt.
~Forge~
At About 1 pm
I was taking care of the paperwork at the front desk of the Forks Police Department, it was normally quiet being a small town. Mr. Stuart the elder passed away 2 years ago and his son inherited the house. Ever since he moved here, it has been a literal Wolf in a hen house.
Stacks of complaints from Mr. Stuart about Wolfs doing this and that, one was even about them shitting in the woods around his house.
That made me chuckle every time I thought about Charlie's response. It was If a bear shits in the woods so does a Wolf. now get out.
*Hhh* I sighed as I went over the stack of concerns about the continued howling that went on Friday and Saturday. The people who have lived in Forks their whole life wanted to boycott him.
The report for the insurance for the Jeep the boys wrecked I put on Charlie's desk. I had no idea how to tell an agent that the Jeep hit a Wolf the size of a moose, leaving no blood or fur on the vehicle.
I was looking down at my paperwork when the door opened. Quickly putting my hand out to stop my paper from blowing away from the cold wind.
"Thanks, Waylon, did you come to help me with this paperwork or do you enjoy seeing me trying to catch flying papers."
I did not look up expecting my husband to walk past me. Nobody ever came into the station. It was located between the small town and most of the houses. It was easy for someone to call, and we head to them.
Heavy footsteps approach the desk. Then a voice I did not recognize spoke, "(Red) I would like to submit a community concern."
"You would need to attend the council meeting it issss…" I raised my head to see the massive 6-foot red-furred Wolf. I knew it had to be over 5'6" because the edge of my desk was that high and it was standing on all four paws looking down at me.
I was filled with fear to my knowledge the last time the Wolf Lord came into the police station over 30 years ago it did not end well.
I frantically pushed the call button to Chief Swan's office rapidly. Marks came out of the back. "Mindy what… Shit." I was keeping my eyes on the Wolf Lord, so I saw his head turn slightly in the direction of Marks's voice. Then that growly voice spoke. "(Red) Deputy, I need to speak with the Chief about getting into the council meeting about community concerns."
"Well, to attend you have to live in Forks."
The Wolf's eyes drop into a scowl. That was not good. "(Red) I do live in Forks, Jenn has spent time at my house. Before you ask, I have lived in Forks for nearly 90 of your human years."
Marks opened his mouth and said the one thing that we agreed to never say to the Wolf Lord if he ever came to us. "Last time I check animals do not have human rights."
I jumped out of my seat as the Wolf Lord's face went to anger, his fangs slid out of his mouth, and his hackles raised. Making him much larger. He raised his right paw with long claws and brought it down on my desk.
*Crack* The front edge of the my desk snapped off, sending my papers everywhere. I was more worried that he would jump Marks. What happened to the Jeep made me think that Marks's gun would do him no good.
"(Red) Tell the Chief I will not ask again. I'm just an animal after all."
He backed toward the door and just before he left, he turned his head opened his massive mouth and bit into the full five-gallon water dispenser jug.
Taking a massive bite out of it, he left. The floor was now flooded with water. I walked over to Marks and gave him a slap over the head. "What the hell Marks, we all know not to say that."
*Cruck, Bang, Pop, Pop, Pop* the sound of metal crumpling, the banging of something hitting a tree, and the pooping of tires. Had me walking to the door. Looking out I saw the cruiser and my SUV still in their spot.
Marks's pick-up truck was corrupted against a tree with its driver door ripped off and all its tires popped.
I turned to Marks, "I'm not driving you home." Marks's mouth was open. "He can't just, I will have him arrested for…"
I cut him off. "Good luck with arresting a 6' Werewolf, I'm done for the day. You can tell Chief Swan."
Charlie's voice came from the doorway. "Tell me why Marks's truck has been slammed into a tree or the bit bark in the water cooler. Or the fact that the front desk looks like an anvil was dropped on it."
I simply said "Yes."
~Bella~
After saying goodbye to Snow Crystal, when I saw Charlie's cruiser headlights pull into the driveway.
I made it through the back door and took off my shoe just as he came in the front door. *Squelch Squeak, Squelch* sound came from somewhere, I looked at my feet to make sure I was not tracking water into the house. I looked at Charlie to see the bottom of his pant legs were soaked.
"What happened there, Dad?" I said pointing to his soaked pants.
"We had a little spill at the office."
"Okay, well there is food in the oven."
"Thanks, sweaty, I'm going to change."
I waited for Charlie to get upstairs before I started mopping up the water. I headed up to my room for bed. Lying in bed I thought of Edward and his reaction to me.
The next morning when I woke up for school Charlie was already gone. I took a shower making sure to scrub everywhere, even washing my hair. That way if Edward was offended by my smell, it would be my soap and not me.
Getting out to my truck. It was a loud beast but started on the first crank and if I ever go into a wreck. It would be the other car looking like it hit a wall and not me.
Getting to school, I parked next to a gray Silverado. Shutting off the engine I stepped out of my truck. I looked around for Edward and his family. I only saw the silver Impala and red BMW, not the silver Volvo that I thought was his car.
Sighing, I head for the office to turn in the papers I needed to fill out yesterday.
Reaching for the door someone with hot hands grabbed my left tricep.
~Red~
A very loud to my ears red Chevy truck parked next to me. The engine quickly cut out, which was a relief.
The slime girl with brown hair and a pail completion steps out. She looked around for something or someone before walking in front of my truck. I stepped out of my truck and closed the door.
I walked in front of my truck and her scent hit me. It was a good scent, not like Edythe which made me want her in my arms. This girl was food a luring delicious smelling food.
I shook off the feeling, I have dealt with this in the past from the Fae.
Clearing my head, I follow the girl heading for the office. Just as she reached for the door, man, her scent was so good. I grabbed her left arm, pulling her to face me.
"You need to stop that. This is not the place to be doing that. I will not interfere if they jump you for this."
Her eyes went wide as she looked up at me. "Who are you? What do you mean, stop What?"
The defense on her mind was strong, I could not get into her head, and I did not get a glimpse of her future from touching her.
Reading her heart rate, eyes, and other body movements, I quickly finger out she did not know she was putting off a lure.
I released her arm and stepped to the side opening the door to the office for her. "Sorry, my mistake. I am Jason, you should be careful don't let the pup fight over you."
She made it into the office but stops to turn and look at me. "What does that mean, you are the second person to say that to me. I do not know any pups."
I walk past her, heading for Ms. Cope's desk. I turned my head slightly to look down at her and spoke in a low voice. "[I mean young Wolfs]"
I barely caught her eyes looking shocked before I step up to Ms. Cope. "Oh Mr. Harrison, you are feeling well. I heard you had the flu."
"Yes, I'm doing better. I came to turn in my note from my father and the doctor." I handed her the fake notes and then headed for the door.
Outside I took in the scent of gas and diesel exhaust. It was better than the luring scent that girl was giving off. Still close to the office, I hear what Ms. Cope said. "Ms. Swan, how was your first day."
The girl responds "I was strange being this is a smaller town than Phoenix and a bit colder. Overall, a great first day."
Walking away before I could hear everything they disgust. On my way to first period, my shoulder kept clicking and popping.
Right after Spanish 1, when my study period and lunch happened I could not take it anymore. The pain was getting too much to bear.
Making sure nobody was watching me, I quietly made my way into the trees. Getting out of sight of the school by humans and Vampires, I removed my coat and shirt.
Kicking off my shoes and pulling off my pants I sigh in relief as I stopped suppressing my true self.
My ears became fury Wolf ears, then my face elongates into a snout. After the transformation spreads quickly down my chest, arms, legs, and my feet.
The pain disappears as I stood there in my full Lycan form, my fur was back to its normal crimson red with an amber-red underline. I could not see them now, but my eyes have also gone back to Indigo and were most likely swirling Dark Violet specks in my iris.
I just leaned against a tree a few feet away from where I dropped my clothes.
*Bring* I could hear the bell ending my study period. I was not looking forward to having to force myself back into a humanoid form in an hour.
Before the lunch bell rang, I shifted to my 6' Lycan form. It did not put too much pressure on my bones since I was used to this form.
Speaking low, I directed my voice and thoughts toward the school. "[Edythe, I need you.]" I only had to wait a short amount of time after the lunch period started to hear and sense her coming, and it was just her.
She slowed down just a bit before running into me. I shot my arms out to wrap her into them, pulling her tightly to my chest.
She did not get a chance to say anything as I bent my head slightly to press my Lycan mouth to her collarbone. Her scent burns my nose a little from the tan spray she liked to wear.
I felt her shudder and wrap her arm around my neck. She pressed her cold lips to my jaw as I kissed her collar. Licking a spot where her neck and collar meet. My first lick tasted of the tan oil. The next was of her skin and the coldness of it sent a buzz through my tongue.
I could not help it as I slid my hands down under the back of her shirt. Edythe's back was cold and smooth to my touch. Pulling back her mouth from my jaw she mumbles out. "[please do not be too gentle, Red"]
Stopping for a second to control my claws, retracting them as much as I can, I squeeze her waist.
"[Remember Edythe, tell me if I start hurting you.]" I whisper as I begin to slide my hands up her side, applying strength to compress her hard skin.
*OHH* she let out a Moane as my hand came up to her bra and I begin to push up her breast. "[Kiss me.]" she begs so I pull my mouth from her neck to kiss her on her now warm lips.
Suddenly Edythe got aggressive, pushing me against the tree. The tree was a good solid 4-foot wide and over a hundred feet tall.
Pressing me into the tree she reaches behind me to close her right hand around the base of my tail.
For Wolf-born nipping another ear or tail is a mating act. I pulled Edythe in tight while kissing her deeply. Her breath was still cold and mixing with my hot breath was making me crazy for more. Sliding my hand up, I slip off her bra to cup her breast. My right hand stayed to play with her right breast as my left slid down her back.
I slid it down her jeans to where, if she had one her tail would be. *Creek, Crack* The tree was not liking our leaning on it.
The tree was not hurting my back, I had put up my barrier around my shoulder the moment Edythe pushed me into the tree.
I just got my left hand farther into her jeans to her ass when *Bring* The end of lunch bell rang.
*HHH* I sighed as I remove my hand from her jeans to the outside still squeezing her ass. Pulling back my mouth from hers, I slid my hand out of her shirt.
She gave me a disappointed "No, we can keep going." She tried to grab my tail again, but I flick It behind me, hiding it.
"I'm sorry but you must get to class. If you do not, I am sure one of your siblings is going to come for you. I do not want them seeing me ravishing you in the forest behind Fork's high school."
"You are right, I know Alice will be the one to interrupt us again." Edythe steps out of my arms making my chest hurt from the loss. Reaching under her shirt she fixes her bra and adjusts her jeans back straight.
I step toward her and lean in to give her a quick kiss on the cheek. "This kissing in the cheek goodbye is strange to me but I like and… holy what did we do to that poor tree."
I turn to see a Lycan-back imprint in the trunk of the tree. "It will be fine, and it's not like we broke the love tree."
"Love tree?" she asked, confused.
"Ya, the teenagers use it to carve love hearts with their crush's names into it. That one over there." I pointed to a tree with the first 5-feet of its bark shaved off.
"We should do that." Seeing her smile, I could not tell if she was being serious or not. It did not matter because I hear the sound of light Vampire steps coming closer. Her scent blew to me.
I spoke before Edythe could say anything. "Alice is coming to get you. I need to go too. I will see you at 20:00 tonight."
"Ok, see you."
Edythe ran to meet up with Alice before she saw me in my Lycan form. I knew Edward had probably seen my Lycan from Rose, Carlisle, and Edythe's mind but the rest have not.
Getting back to my clothes I grunted as I shifted into my Jason disguise.
Being super-fast with the Supermoon just ending I make it to class just in time. Edythe was the only student that walked into the class as the bell was ringing.
Edythe normally did not sit next to me in Algebra. The teacher thought it was best to separate what he calls his smart-ass students. With me being alive before Algebra and other complex ways humans thought the world works.
I made sure that on all my assignments I got a solid B. Even on that first assignment when I met Edythe, I got a solid B grade.
She picks up on this and tries to get a solid B too. Getting straight A+s would have the teachers wanting to bump me a grade or join some math club. It was a disaster the last time that happened.
Today Edythe and I were late, we had to sit next to each other. After five minutes of explaining the lesson, Mr. Varner came over to our desk with a frown. I smiled at him, "Mr. Varner, I have the assignments for Friday, Monday, and today to turn in."
Still frowning he said. "And grading these I expect a solid B performance." Giving him a bright smile. "I would not know, I'm not that confident that I could say what grade I will get."
"Of course you're not, and you Ms. Cullen." He said this with sarcasm.
"I could not say either." She gave him her charming smile so intensely and the clean white mark on her neck that looked like a hickey almost had me reach out for her hand.
The problem was she broke up with Jason to date Red, which is what I wanted. I still did not know why Earth and Night did not want me to tell her.
The rest of the day was boring. I sat with Jenn in English and just read the chapter to that awful story of a young Werewolf falling in love with this century-old Vampire. It would be like Edythe and me, but the lore was all over the place and I am much older than Edythe.
Jenn, who found her Soul-love Fairwind did not ever look at me. I do not know if Jenn knew that Fairwind will outlive her eight times over. That is if she lives to be 70 human years old.
I was thinking of the scenarios that would give Jenn a longer life but none of them were equal. If I turned her into a Lycanthrope she would have my lifespan, starting at her first shift. Totally outliving Fairwind by a lot and would be subject to the new shifter law. If she somehow becomes a very rare Dragon rider. She would have the Dragon's lifespan of about 10,000 Winters, out living me.
The bell rang as I was still thinking of the problems of a Half-Elf mated to a human. Exciting the main building I headed for my truck. That luring scent hit me, and I turn to find it.
"Bella was her name." I hear sever of the teenage boys talking about her. She had her head down not paying attention as she stepped off the sidewalk.
Right onto the two parking spots that become saturated from the dripping oil pan of so many vehicles.
*WOW* Bella let out a startled sound as she slipped on the puddle of oil, transmission, coolant, and other slippery substances. Her arms go in the air like a cartoon character.
Her bag goes flying as she tries to steady her footing. "[Did not learn, she did that yesterday.]"
"[Ya, Jenn's guy saved her that time.]"
"[Well, he's not here know. If she falls this time maybe she will remember not to step there.]" The whispers were all from jealous girls who saw Bella as a rival.
*HHh* Sighing which is something I do not do often. I held my breath, stepped over to the edge of the slick puddle. Making sure none would notice, I used my power to push the oil slick out from under my shoe.
I snatched Bella's flailing arm and pulled her off the oil onto a dry spot on the parking lot. Bella's heart was pounding as she clung to my arm. "Oh, thanks again I'm sorry, I forget about…"
She cut off as she must have realized that I was not the one who saved her last time.
Bella looked up at me, her face went flushed red, and her heart started a different beating pattern.
I was about to let her go to get her bag, so she did not try to get it. *Grrr* The growl was one of positiveness and coming from Edythe, as she glowered at Bella still clutching my arm.
Bella quickly removes her hold on my arm and her red face goes paler than the rest of her. Taking a step back from me she puts her right foot on the slick spot again.
This girl is extremely clumsy, I think as I shot my right hand out to again stop her from falling. I had turned to grab her and as I pulled her to me. She wrapped her arms around my chest. Pressing her breast into me.
With my hearing being my natural dominant ability. I did not have to see Edythe move at a speed a bit too fast for a human, I heard the air whistling as it moved out of her way. That and her scent did not have me defending myself as she grabbed my left arm a bit tight, if I was human, it would have hurt. She pulls me away from Bella at the same time growling at her.
Growling, "Mine." Edythe barred her white teeth showing her fangs. Bella released me instantly, I could hear her heart go from joy to fur in a second.
Edythe pulled me away from Bella with her cold tight right arm locked around my left. I moved my feet to keep up with her, she was moving a little fast for a human teen. Stopping at her silver Impala, she turned around and barred her face into my chest.
I could not help but wrap my arms around her waist and pull her tightly into me. Edythe mermaid into my chest. "[Why do I still feel for you, when I have Red]"
I wanted nothing more than to tell her that I was Red and Jason was a fake. I could not, if Earth and Night needed me not to tell her I would.
Releasing my arms from around her, I took a step back. Making my voice aggressive with a tone of hurt I said. "Edyth you cannot just chase off other girls and then tell me you cannot be with me because of another guy."
I had to use all my willpower not to move forward, wrap my arms back around her and tell her everything. The hurt on her face was making my heart feel like it was eating itself.
She could not cry being a Vampire but the expression on her face as she turned, told me she would have been.
I raised my right hand to pull her back to me when a cool female voice spoke into my mind. "(Earth) No grandson you cannot tell her. Just wait two moons more and you can tell her everything, I promise."
I lower my hand and drop my shoulders. If my godly grandmother said not to tell her I would. My mother's mother has never done anything without a reason, special when it came to her spirit daughter or grandchildren.
Opening my mind to my grandmother. "(Red) I trust you Grandmother Gaea."
