Chapter 7
His girlfriend! My mouth was slightly hanging open as I took her in. She was beautiful, long dark hair, a perfect tan complexion, and very expressive, dark brown eyes. A perfect compliment to Jacob. I looked at him and he was beaming at her with his arm wrapped around her slim waist. They were a cute couple, but I was still shocked.
“Um, hi Ashni. It’s nice to meet you,” I fumbled.
“Likewise,” she detto to me with a tight smile. “Jake, what do te think te are doing? Why did te phase in front of her? te know that te aren’t supposed to do that. What were te thinking?”
Jake being Jake just rolled his eyes and said, “Well, I had to make a point to Bella that things aren’t always what they seem. There are some fairy tales that do exist.”
“Fairy tales! That’s what te think te are? Part of a fairy tale?” I asked him. What was his warped mind thinking?
“Sure, what else?”
“Jacob Black I don’t understand te at all sometimes. I knew that te were crazy before, but te just confirmed it for me,” I detto with a smile. “But what is going on? te have me so Lost and confused. In your room te were asking me about the “Cold Ones” and asking if I knew any and now te showed me that can change yourself into a wolf? How am I supposed to think any of this is real and I am not dreaming?”
“Bella, I am telling te the truth. I am a werewolf and I can only tell te because te are my best friend. We usually don’t tell anyone, which is why Ashni was so mad at me. She knows that we can’t tell anyone about us,” he detto motioning to her once again.
“Yeah, and I thought that meant not even anyone outside of the tribe, Jacob,” she said, still angry over what is going on.
“I think I need to sit down,” I detto as I slumped to the ground. I sat salatino, ciambellina salata legged on the ground and soon Jacob followed suit. He held his hand up to Ashni to unisciti us sitting on the ground. She took his hand and slid down right successivo to him. I could tell that they loved each other very much and that she was worried what would happen to Jake.
“Ashni, I can tell that te Amore Jake and I wanted to tell te that no matter what he is, I will never tell anyone about him. I wouldn’t betray him like that. I know that te must have been upset over seeing him change like he did, but I can tell te honestly that I was più shocked than anything.”
“I really hope I can believe and trust te on that. Jacob knows te più than I do, obviously, so I hope that I can trust his judgment too.”
“Ashni, I promise te that I will never tell anyone about Jake. te can trust me,” I pleaded with her.
“I will wait and see, that is all I can do for now.”
“Okay. Fair enough. Now Jake, te want to tell me how te and Ashni met? I have to admit that I am curious,” I said, but what I wanted to say was: I have to admit that I am surprised since te were all but obsessed with me for years but I didn’t.
“Oh right. Well that is another one of those lupo things. It is really rare actually, what happened to me. There have only been a handful of the tribe protectors that this has happened to. What the tribal elders called it is imprinting. I don’t know if I explain it right, but when we see the person that we are destined to be with, nothing else matters. The reason that the world goes around is because of that person. Ashni is that person for me.”
He leaned over to baciare her gently on the mouth as she brought up her hand to cup his cheek. I looked away to give them their moment. When I looked back I could see what he was talking about. They were definitely made for each other.
“Okay, then. I should be going anyway before Edward and Alice start to worry about me and come looking,” I detto standing up.
Jacob and Ashni stood up as well and Jacob said, “They won’t come here, Bella.”
“Why not? There isn’t anything stopping them. If they got worried enough I’m sure that they would come looking for me.”
“No, Bella. That is what I have been trying to get through to you. There has been a pact that none of their kind comes onto our land.”
I shook my head. “I don’t get it. What do te have against the Cullen’s? What have they ever done to you?” I detto angrily.
“What have they done to me? They made me turn into what I am. Granted, it was in my blood to become what I’ve become but if they hadn’t come I would have had a normal life. Then again,” he detto looking over to Ashni, “I may never have imprinted on Ashni. Then where would we have been?”
She smiled up into his face. She was tiny compared to him, barely reaching his shoulders. “You would be lost, that’s where you’d be,” she detto jokingly.
“Whatever, Jacob. I have to leave. I am going home, I’m getting tired. It’s been a long and hard giorno today and I would like to just sit for a bit. I’ll talk to te later.” I started walking away when Jacob grabbed my arm and turned me around.
He bent close to my face and said, “Just be careful with them Bella. If I could have it my way, te would be staying here in La Push. But I know that your little Friends wouldn’t like that very much, would they?” He detto it like there was a bad taste in his mouth.
“No. I’m sure that my Friends wouldn’t like it. But Jake, really, try and be nicer when it comes to them. They have helped me out when I needed them most. They have taken me into their homes and are treating me like I am one of the family. I will give te a call sometime okay. Ashni, it was nice to have met you.”
I turned around to leave again and I heard, “Watch your back Bella. Watch for the signs from the story and see if your own eyes can tell te the truth that I’ve told you.” I didn’t look back but just waved my hand. I walked back towards Jake’s house where the car was still sitting. Once I got in I sat there for a minuto to take in all that I just witnessed and what I had been told. But I didn’t want to stay too long that I would have to see Jake and Ashni walk back together, so I started the car and pulled away towards the Cullen’s house.
When I got further out of La Push, I pulled out the phone to call Edward when the phone in my hand rang. I answered it and it was Alice. Surprise, surprise.
“Good, te are on your way back. Now te have to expect this, but te have to tell me what happened when te were there,” she detto really fast in the normal Alice way.
I laughed into the phone. “Of course. Do te want to meet me at the box auto, garage o will te wait long enough for me to get into your house?”
“Smartass,” she laughed. “I’ll wait, but hurry.”
Then she hung up. I put the phone down and continued to drive. What Jake detto was really starting to annoy me. What did he mean, “Watch your back.” Who was I supposed to have to watch out for? I hadn’t talked to him in years and all of a sudden he thinks he is my protector because he can change into a wolf, a big wolf? And I was supposed to “watch for the signs to see if my eyes could convince me.”
I turned into the driveway to the Cullen’s house and drove to the garage. I noticed that Alice was on the steps to the house bouncing up and down a little. I know that she was anxious to hear what was going on with my other friend. I got into the garage, turned off the car, and got out slowly. I knew that she was going to be pelting me with questions.
I barely got to the steps before I saw Alice make one last jump and she landed ever so softly onto the erba in the front yard. I was always so jealous that she was so graceful, while I tripped over air most times. Well, I would if I tried to jump like she did. Sports are completely out for me; I am dangerous in any sport.
“Bella! It’s about time. What took te so long? No, forget that. What happened there? Tell me everything,” she said, barely containing herself. For someone so small, she was an opposing figure when she wanted to be. She always let te know that she was around you.
“Okay. Want to stay outside while I tell you?”
“Sure, let’s sit on the steps. Now go!”
“Alright. It was actually the strangest visit I’ve ever had with anyone. I got to see Billy and talked to him briefly, he is sad about mom and dad being gone, but I think he will be okay. Then Jake and I went to his room to talk. He tried to convince me that one of their tribal legends o stories was real.” I took a breath and when I stopped to do that Alice butted in.
“What story did he say was real?” she asked pulling herself into a straighter sitting position.
“Well they have a story about the “Cold Ones” who came to their lands and hunted off people. I heard the story when I was a young girl and never thought of it più than a ghost story,” I laughed. But the look on Alice’s face showed that she thought something different.
“What else, Bella?”
“Nothing, he just detto that I needed to open my eyes and watch out for the signs that could convince me that he was right and that there are vampires. I think he was losing it, but what do I know?”
“Yeah. Right, well let’s go share this with Edward. Wanna?” She stood up and looked at me. I guess I didn’t have a choice, but I am sure that he already heard it from Alice’s mind.
“But I also met his girlfriend, Ashni. She was very protective of him, but she is a sweet girl. They obviously Amore each other and are totally meant to be together,” I said. Alice turned to look at me with this new statement.
“It sounds like te don’t like that he has a girlfriend, Miss Bella. Are te jealous?”
“No, of course not. Well, it’s just that growing up Jake thought that I was the only girl for him and I always turned him down and now that he is with Ashni, I feel a little… I don’t know.” I huffed.
“Jealous. That is what te are feeling. But te still like Edward, right?”
“Of course I do. Don’t be silly, te know that I’ve been head over heels for him since I first saw him.” Looking back to when I first saw the Cullen’s at school, how could I ever doubt that I wouldn’t be in Amore with him?
She smiled. “Okay then. In we go.”
Edward was there as we went in. Of course and he probably heard what we had said. Great! What else did I have to expect from a giorno like today.
“Edward, good. I’m glad you’re here. Bella has something to tell te about her visit with her friend… Jake, right?”
“Yes, Alice. I heard, remember?” He detto tapping his temples. “Interesting.” He detto with a smile.
“You think so?” Alice asked. “What does this mean?”
“I think it means that I need to talk to Bella. Alone. For a little bit, if te don’t mind Alice?” He said, but his topaz eyes never left mine and I felt the heat rise to my face again.
“Sure. I guess so, but te aren’t making this any fun.” With that she stalked away.
“Bella, can to take a sede, sedile with me. I think we need to talk.” He moved to the couch. The same divano where I fell asleep on him. Oh god! How embarrassing.
“Sure, sure.”
“So, I heard what te told Alice.”
“Yes, what do te think he meant when he detto that I needed to keep my eyes open?”
He gave me his famous crooked smile and looked down. “That isn’t what I wanted to talk to te about. That part I think we need to share with dad. What I wanted to talk to te about it the part where te detto that te loved me. Is that true?”
Oh my god! Did I really have to talk about this? How could I have forgotten that he could not hear me, but he could hear Alice! I started to panic, not knowing what to say to him. I dared to look up at him and that was a bad idea, now I couldn’t look away from him o that fierce gaze of his. I was hooked.
“Uh… yeah… uh… it is,” was all I managed to get out. But I still couldn’t break my gaze from his. What was it about him that made me completely weak? Why did I become so weak around him? I Lost all ability to talk it seemed.
“Well, then. I guess we need to do something about that, don’t we?”
“Uh… what?”
“We need to figure out what to do about this little problem of ours. Since I take it that we are going to be seeing quite a bit of each other. What would te propose?”
“Me? I… uh… I don’t know. You?”
“Well, I could throw out a couple of suggestions if te can’t think of anything. Like,” he detto as he leaned in closer to me, “we could…” closer still, “see what happens…” so close I couldn’t breathe, “when I…” and he kissed me. And my breath was gone. I melted into him, closing the little bit of distance that we had between us. I put my hand up to his face and cupped his cheek in my hand.
When he broke away from me, I didn’t remember my name o where I was. Oh yeah, breathe Bella. I shook my head to clear some of the cobwebs that formed in that brief moment.
“Um… thank you,” I said. Oh my god! Did I just say thank te to him?
He laughed and said, “You’re welcome. Now what do te say?”
“I can’t say anything. I think te took all word from my mouth for the successivo year.”
He laughed and kissed me again this time not delaying the moment at all. He put his hand behind my head and wound his fingers in my hair, slightly pulling my face closer to his. I reached up to put my arms around him and kissed him back. This time I wasn’t as blown away. I could think a little more, but I was baciare Edward Cullen! This was too much.
“Oh man! te guess need to get a room!” Emmett detto as he walked into the room. “I wanted to get into the game.
We broke away from each other and I was beet red. Edward rolled his eyes. “Like te can talk. Anyway, Bella needs to talk to dad, do te know where he is?”
Emmett pointed upstairs and said, “Up in his study.” We got up from the divano and he took it and turned on the big plasma screen television.
“Alice, wanna unisciti us?” Edward asked. I didn’t know where she was but she came up to us and was grinning something horrible.
“Of course. Congrats te guys. It’s about time!” She laughed and slapped her brother on the back. “Now, let’s go talk to dad about this visit and story of Bella’s.” We walked up the stairs to Carlisle’s study. The door was open and Carlisle was sitting behind the scrivania, reception with an open book on it. He was hunched over it Leggere when we came in.
“Hey guys, what’s going on?” Carlisle asked.
“Bella needs to tell te something. Go ahead Bella.” Edward said.
I retold my visit to Carlisle and he sat there listening to the story nodding every once in awhile. When I finished, he simply stated, “The pact has been compromised.”
What? What did that mean? What pact? I was so lost. I really shouldn’t have gotten out of Alice’s letto this morning.
“Yes, that is what I thought too. What do we do? And più important, what do we need to explain to Bella?” Edward detto putting his arm around me protectively.
“Yes. I see. Now that is going to be più complicated,” Carlisle detto noting the gesture too. Then I saw that Edward nodded at him. I couldn’t even guess what passed between them. I didn’t want to try anymore today.
“Well, I guess we need to let her into the loop now that she is going to be staying here. How?” Carlisle said.
Edward looked down at me and I must be looking like I was in shock because he said, “I think we need to wait a bit. I’ll bring her to Alice’s room and talk to her a little bit. It may be easier there.”
He guided me out of the study and into Alice’s room, which I saw gained a letto in my absence. My bed, I assumed. He had me sit down on the new bed, crouched down in front of me, and lightly kissed my forehead.
“Bella, what I have to say may not be easy to handle, but keep in mind that te are completely sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza here, okay?”
“Uh huh,” I said. I didn’t know what più to think today.
“Well we, my family and I, are the “Cold Ones” that your friend Jacob told te about. But unlike the stories you’ve heard, we do not hunt o attack humans. Do te understand?”
“I don’t know… I don’t know. I am tired, Edward.” And I passed out.
A/N: I got so many great reviews from people, please continue to read my story and review please! It really does help me write more. And it gives me some great ideas, so review! Thank te all so much!

Edward looked down at me and I must be looking like I was in shock because he said, “I think we need to wait a bit. I’ll bring her to Alice’s room and talk to her a little bit. It may be easier there.”
He guided me out of the study and into Alice’s room, which I saw gained a letto in my absence. My bed, I assumed. He had me sit down on the new bed, crouched down in front of me, and lightly kissed my forehead.
“Bella, what I have to say may not be easy to handle, but keep in mind that te are completely sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza here, okay?”
“Uh huh,” I said. I didn’t know what più to think today.
“Well we, my family and I, are the “Cold Ones” that your friend Jacob told te about. But unlike the stories you’ve heard, we do not hunt o attack humans. Do te understand?”
“I don’t know… I don’t know. I am tired, Edward.” And I passed out.
As with the "new" Bella, there will be new changes to the story. Such as:
1.) Fanged vampires
2.) Burning in the sunlight
3.) Bella fighting back
4.) Taking bloody and daring turns
5.) A slightly darker and più grim version to the family
I'll write the first one soon. And I hope the ones who read it enjoy it. It's my first fanfiction, if te would call it that, and I tried on the storyline. Really.
