part 17
Juliet-
They were reasoning with me. They knew I wasn’t going to fight them but they weren’t satisfied because they knew I wasn’t. First they had they had told me that I had to stay because of the wolves. They کہا I had to figure things out. I didn’t mention that I would rather have a hundred cracked ribs than stay. Then they started telling me why I didn’t have to worry about being hurt. They کہا they could be careful and they were not overly tempted to drink my blood.
They told me about Bella. She had been around them while she was still human and she was fine. But Bella was well loved; I wasn’t overly worried about them hurting me on accident. I had already seen hints of temper from several of them and they would all do anything to protect each other. What if I offended Alice? I would have to face Jasper and vice versa. I shuddered at the thought of offending Rosalie and facing Emmett. If I offended Renesmee, I would be up against all the vampires and all the werewolves.
Leah didn’t come back with Jacob. The wolves stayed awhile, hanging out with the Cullens. I saw Renesmee bite Jacob and I nearly screamed. Everyone in the room turned to see my horrified face. Jacob seemed alright. Had I mistaken what I’d seen? Seth asked me what was wrong. “Nessie isn’t venomous” Edward stated. Now I felt stupid. “Yeah, Jake’s fine” Seth کہا desperately. “Sorry” I said. I felt مزید than mere embarrassment. I felt… ashamed. I didn’t understand why.
Renesmee came up to me and touched my face. “I don’t hurt anyone” she insisted “Jacob says it’s OK to bite wolf-people and it doesn’t hurt my family either” She showed me the faces of the Cullens. “I just can’t bite humans because I’m strong” I struggled to answer “I’m sorry. It was a wrong assumption.” Then I hesitantly placed my hand on her perfect little face. I showed her that I knew she wasn’t in the wrong. I was. She was thrills when I showed her. She showed me that she was happy I could play like her and that we could have fun. I doubted that. I looked around to see that Jacob had grown tense when I had placed my hand on Renesmee. She asked her اگلے سوال out loud for everyone “Am I strong enough to hurt you? Do I have to be careful?” Seth answered sharply “Yes.” His eyes were slightly harder than they had been. Jacob elaborated affectionately “We’re not sure how strong she is Ness. Just stay on the محفوظ side, OK?” She nodded solemnly.
The best I could tell I was going to stay for about a week. I got hints that I was just as welcome in La Push as I was with the vampires, but I decided to stay where I’d been asked point-blank. I really had no preference. Open casket closed casket. Either way I was dead.
It felt weird sleeping when everyone was awake. After the wolves had gone all signs of yawning disappeared. Renesmee had left with them. They were going to drop her off at her Grandpa Charlie's house fora sleepover. Edward had also left to secretly keep an eye on her from outside. Charlie would drive her back in the morning and stay a few hours. Carlisle mentioned that Charlie preferred not to know the details and asked that I not mention anything supernatural. I agreed, though I felt bad for Charlie, unknowingly walking into a house of vampires.
I slept well that night. The pain medication Carlisle gave me for my ribs made me drowsy. The اگلے morning, Jacob came over a few منٹ before Charlie planned to. Apparently, he slept outside in بھیڑیا form اگلے to Edward. "Poor Nessie" he lamented "Charlie made her پینکیکس and had her take a bite of his oatmeal. That's the most human food she's had in a long time" Edward laughed "Jacob was about to stage an intervention."
Alice grabbed my hand "We should get آپ into something loose fitting in case آپ phase." Bella told Alice not to go overboard. She کہا "Juliet's too young to die". That scared me until Bella started talking about all the times Alice played make-over on her. I figured Bella was only joking about dying.
After much debate between Alice and Rosalie, I ended up in a gray dress. My hair was in loose curls and I had a small پھول clip. They put a little eye make-up and lip color on me. Alice کہا I needed blush too. My cheeks almost never had color. A nice ہار and black ballet فلیٹوں, فلیٹ were added and I was set. Just before Charlie arrived, Carlisle gave me a quick check-up. As he had predicted, I was healing slightly faster than average. I was able to walk if I leaned heavily on someone.
Charlie arrived with Leah and Seth and their mother Sue. I could tell that Sue and Charlie were either in a relationship یا headed that way. I imagined a future Jacob Black introducing Charlie "This is my brother's stepdad who is also my wife's grandpa." Weird. "Charlie, Sue, this is Juliet" Carlisle said. "She's a distant relative of ours." He shot me a wary look, wondering no doubt if my face would give away signs of his smooth, but not particularly believable lie. The vampires and wolves seemed a bit surprised سے طرف کی how easily I slipped into the new identity. My identity had been a fluid concept for as long as I could remember. Despite obvious facts, everyone acted like I'd had a normal childhood. Of course I would be good at deception. It was no mere talent, it was my lifestyle.
Suddenly, I remembered something Alice had کہا earlier "...something loose fitting in case آپ phase". Did they expect me to phase? What if I phased in front of Charlie?
