Chapter 01 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t have to do anything for the wedding, only to give her approval, because her soon to be sister in laws were arranging everything. Bella and Edward were going to be married in the forest, the Cullen\u2019s backyard, actually. Everything very natural and virgin – Alice explained that it was sort of a fusion of two lives, or whatever. The drawings had been beautiful, and it was something Bella could see herself being wed at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice had already found Bella the perfect dress. For some weird reason, Alice always knew what Bella wanted without Bella even telling her because it had already been made clear that Alice couldn\u2019t fully see <\/em>Bella. It was just that Alice was that good with fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosalie had already sent out the wedding invitations, without Bella\u2019s assistance or requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlisle and Esme had an island that Bella and Edward were going to on their honeymoon, there was no need to figure out a location for that. But she really didn\u2019t fancy traveling for such a long time. However, Edward wanted this. And what Edward wanted, Edward got. She\u2019d get him backpacking through Europe within a year, that was one of her resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wedding cake was done by some master cake builder from Las Vegas or New York, or perhaps two cakes because they were expecting a few guests, but why buy two cakes when they\u2019ll mostly be for show? Vampires didn\u2019t eat human food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella felt as if she had<\/em> to do something for her own wedding instead of simply sitting around and having things happen. When Alice announced that she\u2019d already hired a chef to cater for the wedding, something inside Bella snapped. \u201cYou guys don\u2019t eat! How do you know the food is good? And what kind of food will this chef make? Cancel this chef and let\u2019s hold auditions for food!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, the Cullens had ignored her. All of them, even Edward. Jacob, of course, told her that she was well in her right to demand that she\u2019d take care of the food for the obvious reasons. Jasper was the first one to buckle, mainly because Bella hung around with him more often, not really cursing, but he could sense that her desire for space from the family. Her wall of annoyance only grew bigger and he had enough of it. \u201cI\u2019ll talk to them,\u201d he said gently as he looked over at her. \u201cBecause you are right. Do you want me to help you or—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d she was grateful though. \u201cI\u2019m going to place an ad in the paper and on the internet and we\u2019ll see who\u2019ll show up for the open audition and—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper smiled then, putting an arm around Bella as he lead her away from the house, hopefully out of earshot from the rest of his family. \u201cDarlin\u2019, my brother and sister are coming. You know about Peter and his gift, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella furrowed her brow for a moment. \u201cHe\u2019s the one who knows things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVery annoying, really, makes him an assho— asshat sometimes, but yes, he knows things. Let\u2019s just say that he wants to help you with your food issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She blinked at him. \u201cBut what\u2019s the point of doing things myself then, when another Cold One, who doesn\u2019t eat, takes care of my food problem?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper smirked, winking at her before glancing around. \u201cCryptic bastard may know more than he\u2019s saying but he wanted in and he can keep Alice and Edward from bothering you too much. Let\u2019s leave it at that, deal?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo no putting out ads?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell\u2026 you could,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cAs a test to Peter\u2019s abilities, perhaps\u2026 that would get his panties in a twist. But I never had any reason to doubt his abilities. He actually knew you were going to throw your little temper tantrum at the whole arranged chef thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She blew out a breath through her nose, scowling. \u201cWhat does he have planned then? What does he want me to do? Alice will figure something is up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasper shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s fun to see my wife all worked up, don\u2019t worry about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou might think it\u2019s fun but it\u2019s a fucking pain in my ass. I want to take her stilettos and shove them up where the sun doesn\u2019t fucking sparkle!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella,\u201d Jasper shook his head. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a Cullen yet so don\u2019t make me curb my mouth,\u201d she snapped. \u201cI\u2019m hanging by a thread here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He barked out a laugh. \u201cYou\u2019re worse than Rose when she got married to Emmett, you little bridezilla you,\u201d he said teasingly. \u201cYou can stay at your dad\u2019s for a few days if you want to take a breather.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo. I can\u2019t be worse than her because I\u2019m sure she was allowed to make her own damned decisions for her own fucking weddings. I didn\u2019t even get a say in the honeymoon. My dress was chosen for me before I even got to see it. Whose wedding is this again? Not mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDarlin\u2019, I know,\u201d Jasper said as he stopped walking and gently placed his hands on her shoulders as he looked at her. \u201cTrust Peter. Trust that it will work out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrust someone who I wasn\u2019t even allowed to meet whenever he was in town,\u201d she snarled, thinking about Edward, then sighing and running a hand through her hair in remorse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd why do you think you weren\u2019t allowed to meet with him? Edward\u2019s afraid to lose you. He loves <\/em>you and he perceives someone like Peter a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She rolled her eyes. \u201cSurrounded by the family, like that will happen. Besides, he\u2019s mated already. Sometimes I just want to slap some brains into him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s stopping you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She gave him a look that indicated his own moronic thought. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight. Human Bella. Vampire Edward,\u201d Jasper said sheepishly before grinning. \u201cLet\u2019s go back to get you some food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, let\u2019s feed the human like the pet she is after the whole drama over wedding food she\u2019s been causing,\u201d Bella muttered as she turned away from him, walking away. \u201cIt\u2019s no wonder Laurent said what he did when he found me that day. Sometimes I wondered\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy to be considered someone\u2019s pet when you\u2019re the weaker of the two,\u201d Jasper said as he pushed his hands in his pockets and strolled after her. \u201cI mean, I\u2019m definitely Alice\u2019s pet. She\u2019s got me wound around her little finger and can make me do things,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was silent as what he referred to in regards to his relationship had no bearing on hers. Blinking, she tried not to think about the conversations Edward continuously avoided about her mandatory turning. She knew he was still extremely resistant and wondered if he would refuse to until the end, thus continuing putting her life in danger. Was she really a pet? No, he loved her, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere were you?\u201d Edward said as he came out of the house, a worried look on his face as he pulled her into his arms. \u201cI thought something had happened. The thought of losing you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella frowned, blinking as she as she took in a breath. \u201cJasper went and kept me from playing runaway bride. No worries here,\u201d she smiled up at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be silly,\u201d he smiled sweetly at her. \u201cWhy would you run? Simply because of the food?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh I still want control over something and I claim that, since I\u2019ve had little say in anything else. I won\u2019t budge here Edward. I need something to do,\u201d she sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat about that cook from that diner your dad always goes to for dinner?\u201d Edward suggested. \u201cYou like her food, don\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pulled away and started to grow angry at the suggestion. \u201cDiner food, really? That only proves you have little respect for those of us that actually need to eat, Edward. Please. It\u2019s the one thing I\u2019m asking here since you chose a honeymoon I don\u2019t care for, Alice chose a dress I never saw, and\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow can I turn down a honeymoon offered by Carlisle and Esme?\u201d Edward said gently. \u201cBut I know you\u2019re upset and we\u2019ve all agreed that you can be in charge of the human food. Whatever you need, we\u2019ll help you. Do you want us to put an ad on the internet or the paper?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd while I\u2019m grateful, a tropical island for a human as pale as I am is asking for disaster,\u201d she deadpanned. \u201cI will handle any ads, interviews, or anything else involved with food. I don\u2019t want you or the family\u2019s help with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet it go,\u201d Jasper said to Edward as he passed him to go inside. The whole family was annoyed by Bella\u2019s stubbornness, but she was right about the food. Rosalie was supportive of Bella as well, though. But Carlisle, Esme and Alice would never hear this. Alice wanted things to be perfect and Bella throwing a fit about food wasn\u2019t perfection. \u201cI\u2019m going to take Alice out to hunt for a couple of days, get her out of your hair, Bella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do. And I can. And I will,\u201d he smiled before going to look for his wife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella sighed as she put her hands around Edward\u2019s cold body. \u201cYou forgive me, right? You\u2019re not mad at me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand why you just won\u2019t let anyone else take care of things for our wedding day, but no, I\u2019m not mad at you,\u201d he smiled at her, kissing the top of her head. \u201cCome, I made you some grilled cheese sandwiches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a child, Edward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best I can do, you know that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella huffed as she let go of him and went inside the house to grab her coat and the keys to her truck. \u201cI\u2019m going to my dad\u2019s for real food. Alone,\u201d she said as she bumped into her boyfriend on the way out again. \u201cI\u2019ll be back in a few hours. I just—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNeed some human time,\u201d Edward said understandingly and Bella simply left. She couldn\u2019t help but get angry while Edward and his family were only trying to be helpful and kind. Not anymore. She\u2019d always had a slight temper, but it only seemed to get worse the closer it came to her wedding day. Luckily, her father somewhat understood and left her alone while she was making herself some food as she tried to calm down by ranting about her wedding to him. Her slamming the pots and pans around in the kitchen, led to her fist in the wall had been something else entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, though, Charlie spoke up as he was cleaning his gun. \u201cHave you taken your medication at all, lately?\u201d He asked as a matter of factly, not looking up from his task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI might have missed a few days here and there, so what?\u201d Bella shot at him before looking at the hole in the wall. \u201cUh\u2026 might have to ask Jake to come and fix this, dad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNonsense,\u201d Charlie replied, shaking his head. \u201cI can fix it, but maybe you should take your medicine before you go back to your fianc\u00e9. Wouldn\u2019t want you to accidentally give him a black eye for the wedding day, would you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella pulled open a cabinet where a small jar of her pills were being kept in case of sleepovers, took one and swallowed it whole. \u201cThere. Happy? And for your information, my hand is doing fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d Charlie nodded as he put his gun back together and looked at his daughter. \u201cBells, it\u2019s important for you to take those meds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know, I know,\u201d she sighed as she cleaned up the mess she\u2019d made. \u201cIt helps with the anger and shit, but dad, do they really work though? I have the feeling that even when I take them lately that they\u2019re not working the way that they used to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie shrugged as he got to his feet and went to get some plaster to start fixing the hole in the kitchen wall. \u201cCould be that you need a stronger dose, or, it could be that something else is at play. You\u2019re not pregnant, are you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDad!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust saying!\u201d He laughed as he came back with the required materials. \u201cSweetheart, it\u2019s alright to be a little grumpy, or anxious or forgetful when it comes to your wedding. Every bride, and yes, even grooms, experience that sort of feeling. It needs to be perfect. Your special day.\u201d He cleared out the debris from the wall before he started to fill it up with the plaster. \u201cHell, your mom and I fought all the time when we planned our wedding. She hated it that I didn\u2019t care about the location, the food, the clothes or anything. I just wanted your mother to be mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, and look how well that turned out,\u201d Bella huffed, before realizing something. \u201cDo you think that Edward and I will last?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery father wants his daughter\u2019s marriage to last, Bella, but marriage is hard work. And unfortunately, I dropped the ball far too often in the time that I was married to your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, on top of that, she\u2019s really not wife material,\u201d Bella added, never having been bitter about her parents\u2019 divorce. She got to live with Charlie, which was fantastic, although she had wished her father had been a sheriff in a town a bit further south, where it was warm instead of cold all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she was younger, Bella often went to her mother\u2019s for a week or two for a vacation once or twice a year. Sometimes her mother made the trip to Forks, but like Bella, she preferred the warmer climates. \u201cCan I stay here for the night? I\u2019ll text Edward that I\u2019m staying here, but I really don\u2019t want to go back right now. I\u2019m tired. I\u2019m angry. I\u2019m\u2026 everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is your home, Bella, it\u2019ll always be your home even when you\u2019re married,\u201d he smiled at her. \u201cYour room is your room, I\u2019ll never change that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella hugged her father, kissed him on the cheek and headed upstairs. \u201cYou\u2019re the best dad ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

~o.O.o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella slept for what seemed the entire day, sure that she\u2019d been left alone – she had asked Charlie to put locks on her window last year and it was still locked. She felt refreshed, relaxed and happier than she had felt previously. She did want to go back to Edward as soon as she could though, there was no doubt that he wouldn\u2019t have liked her staying at her dad\u2019s. It was highly probable that he\u2019d been standing across the street all night to watch the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, she\u2019d been annoyed by it. Edward had shown the classic signs of a stalker, signs that her daddy had taught her well, but the more she got to know Edward, the more she understood that he only did those things because he cared about her. That he loved<\/em> her, and she loved him. Edward only wished to protect her. But she was safe at her dad\u2019s. He was a cop, and Bella could take care of herself too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She took a long, relaxing shower with one of her dad\u2019s bottles of soap. He had always told her that under no circumstance she should ever use that soap because it\u2019s expensive and Charlie liked to savor the smell for as long as he could. It smelled earthy. Mossy. Like sunshine after rain. She was a rebel. Of course she used the soap as much as she could, without hopefully getting caught. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She got into some comfy clothes that were still in her closet and went downstairs to prepare breakfast, or lunch, depending on the time, but stopped short when she saw an unfamiliar face sitting in the kitchen, her dad happily munching on some bagels and drinking Starbucks coffee. \u201cGood morning?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, hi Bells!\u201d Charlie greeted her happily. \u201cPeter here said you two had an appointment today? I couldn\u2019t leave him out in the cold so I invited him in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella didn\u2019t move an inch as she looked at this Peter<\/em>. He was definitely a cold one. He was dressed as a punk cowboy – Bella wasn\u2019t sure how to describe his fashion anyway, and was quietly observing her until she\u2019d speak. \u201cYou\u2019re Jasper\u2019s Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI sure am, though technically I belong to Char if anyone has anything to say \u2018bout that,\u201d Peter nodded. \u201cGood morning, Miss Bella, care for some breakfast? We have a big day ahead of us if we want to annoy some squirrel munchers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She narrowed her eyes at him before sitting down at the table. \u201cWhat were your plans?\u201d It was convenient for Peter to show up now, with Alice out of town on a hunt. She had to admit, the thrill of doing something to annoy the Cullens sounded good, still. Even now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll see,\u201d he smirked as he handed her a bagel and a styrofoam cup of coffee, it was still hot. \u201cEat up, it\u2019s the good stuff, or so I\u2019ve been told.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you two going to do?\u201d Charlie asked his daughter as she took a bite of her bagel. \u201cNothing illegal, I hope?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter gave him what was supposed to seem like an innocent smile. \u201cWhat I do best, Chief. Piss off my brother\u2019s family and I take my job extremely seriously too. Do you have any requests?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t piss them off too much and keep my girl safe,\u201d he muttered as he got his gun from underneath the table and placed it next to him on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe will be perfectly safe with me, I guarantee that. In fact they won\u2019t get between me and her,\u201d he assured, turning his gaze from the man to the girl in question as he emphasized on his promise. \u201cShe\u2019ll be able to do what she wants to her heart\u2019s content without any troubles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEdward would never hurt me,\u201d Bella huffed before shaking her head. \u201cYou\u2019re talking big. There\u2019s no way that they\u2019ll allow that<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s eyebrow rose and leaned back against the counter as he eyed her. \u201cHuh. So how\u2019s that headache of yours. Nice hole in the wall. Redecorating?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m feeling much better than I\u2019ve done previously,\u201d Bella deadpanned, not sure how Peter knew about the headaches, or the fact that the hole was created by her. \u201cBut Edward wouldn\u2019t do anything to hurt me, so I\u2019m safe. All I wanted was to have a say in the food we\u2019re going to serve at the fucking wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd with me as your personal buffer, you have the catering situation all to yourself. You just tell me what you want, and I\u2019ll handle it. I\u2019m your<\/em> servant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, that\u2019s not doing things myself,\u201d she grumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He let out a stubborn huff. \u201cGood thing I\u2019ve come prepared then. I\u2019ve organised you your own personal food truck festival in the in law\u2019s backyard. You should have seen their faces this morning when they rolled up. Brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFood trucks?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSweet cheeks, a lot of good food, a lot of caterers, have food trucks to make ends meet. Don\u2019t knock it until you\u2019ve tried it and I promise you, there\u2019s one chef there you\u2019ll definitely want to have as your caterer. I\u2019m not saying who, but I wrote it down on this little piece of paper,\u201d he said as he pulled the paper out of his pocket and waved it around. \u201cThere\u2019s a name on this. I\u2019m going to give it to your dad so I can\u2019t mess with it. As soon as you\u2019ve made your decision of who\u2019s going to be your caterer, you can call your dad and he can tell you the name on that paper. How\u2019s that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fuck?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t trust me and my abilities. This is merely a game I\u2019d like to play so that you can see that I\u2019m always right,\u201d he grinned as he pointed at the bagel. \u201cEat up. We can take that coffee with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A food truck festival. For her. She hadn\u2019t believed him when he had told her, but there were about fifteen trucks, all making their food and the smells were absolutely delicious. Peter nudged her towards the trucks and smirked. \u201cHave fun, I\u2019ll keep the Cullens in their house or at least on their patio so they won\u2019t bother you. Just ignore them. Your wedding. Your food choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou sure?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll yours, enjoy yourself,\u201d Peter winked at her before heading to his brother\u2019s family. He loved to annoy them, especially with things like these. While they couldn\u2019t eat or taste human food anymore, the smells were still enticing and some of these trucks had some spicy food that really tickled your senses. Which was the entire reason for Peter to invite them over, of course. He already knew who Bella was going to pick. The others were just for shits and giggles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDude, this is awesome!\u201d Emmett grinned as he slapped Peter on the back. \u201cAll we need now is some country music!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edward scowled as he glared at his brother before turning his gaze over to his fiance. \u201cI highly doubt this was Isabella\u2019s decision or idea and it is in poor taste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExactly,\u201d Peter grinned. \u201cYou didn\u2019t want her to invite chefs over for tastings, so chefs have just shown up instead. Isn\u2019t it great? These are legitimate caterers, by the way,\u201d he said as he handed over the paperwork with certificates and some even with their rap sheets and mugshots attached to them for laughs. \u201cI did my research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mind reader scowled as he took the papers but refused to look into the folders. He just returned to watching Bella as she stood questioning the woman at one truck in between trying her samples. \u201cThis could have been done in a much less obtuse spectacle. Why are you even here? I\u2019m going to put an end to this now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, Eddie,\u201d Peter rolled his eyes at him. \u201cLook at her cute little face. She\u2019s loving this. She\u2019s actively engaging the people and is connecting with them. Do you really wish to upset<\/em> your fianc\u00e9, again<\/em>? She might have to spend another night at her father\u2019s if you keep this up.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmett nodded as he decided to move to stand right in front of his brother. \u201cLet Bella enjoy this, trust that she\u2019ll make the right decision. A happy bride is a happy wife, dude.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even want to begin to imagine all the germs in those trucks,\u201d Carlisle shook his head disapprovingly and headed back inside. \u201cI\u2019ll check to see if we still have antibiotics and tetanus shots in the house for Bella when she needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter narrowed his eyes on Edward as he called out to Carlisle. \u201cWhy would you bother needing those Doc? After all she\u2019s supposed to be turned on that island of yours, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella was glad that Peter kept the Cullens busy. Of course, she couldn\u2019t help but feel them all stare at her, especially her Edward, but this was the best thing ever<\/em>. All that she missed was some good music, loud music, but some trucks had some soft music playing. She made sure to spend at least fifteen minutes with every chef, this way she could digest some of the food and rinse her mouth when it was not what she wanted or far too spicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hadn\u2019t found anything spectacular yet though, and her hopes for finding someone dashed when she rejected the penultimate truck\u2019s cook, too. \u201cYou look like your heart\u2019s been crushed,\u201d a voice sounded from the last food truck. His head popped out, a big smile on his face, reminding her somewhat of a puppy, but with a bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This person had a well chiseled face, a slight stubble and his eyes were beautifully blue. If it weren\u2019t for Edward, Bella might have fallen for this guy if he\u2019d been around years ago. Stop it, Bella. You\u2019re engaged. You\u2019re looking for a cook. <\/em>\u201cIt might be if you can\u2019t deliver\u2026\u201d she muttered as she looked at the floor. Taking a deep breath, she composed herself and extended her hand to him. \u201cBella Swan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac Argent,\u201d he smiled at her and shook her hand. \u201cNice to meet you, Miss Swan. Why won\u2019t you come into my truck? I have quite the few things here that you might enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn your truck?\u201d she chuckled, shaking her head. \u201cNone of the others invited me in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAh, well, that\u2019s because they don\u2019t want you to see the inside of their trucks. I pride myself in the fact that my truck is squeaky clean,\u201d he disappeared for a moment before a door opened and he hopped out of the truck. Isaac was slightly taller than Edward. Well dressed, although there were slight smudges of food on his clothes. He turned around to pull out some stairs and pointed inside the truck. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not a serial killer. Besides, who would be stupid enough to kidnap someone who\u2019s being watched by their entire family?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She blushed then. \u201cThey\u2019re overprotective, that\u2019s all,\u201d she replied before carefully stepping inside the truck. It was indeed very clean inside. Lived in, used, but clean. The food that he had on the counter were bite sized, exactly what she had envisioned for her wedding and they were looking absolutely great. Precise. Isaac had even made a mini lasagna. \u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWeddings are all about the fingerfood, aren\u2019t they? People like to snack, not to eat huge things because they\u2019re too busy talking amongst themselves. Gossipping about the bride,\u201d he winked at her as he leaned against the counter. \u201cAnd yes, pigs in blankets and sausage rolls might be tacky and outdated, but trust me, people like them still.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m almost afraid to eat them,\u201d Bella smiled before she heard some growling coming from the direction of the house and she realised that Edward couldn\u2019t see her anymore. Looking over at Isaac, she wondered if he had heard it too, and hated it that he was looking into the direction of the house. Well shit. He didn\u2019t look frightened though, there was a playful smile on his face. \u201cOkay, what the fuck is going on?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re getting married, and you need a caterer and you\u2019re trying out food? Is your memory that bad? Are you even mentally capable of giving your consent to marry someone?\u201d It came out as a joke, but Isaac wasn\u2019t joking as he grabbed a can of coke, opened it and handed it to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked confused. \u201cWhat kind of question is that?\u201d she breathed out, blinking for a moment. \u201cWhat are you?\u201d she whispered as she looked up at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, don\u2019t worry, they can\u2019t hear you inside this truck,\u201d he smiled at her as he gently caressed the counter of his truck. \u201cI asked a witch to cast a lasting privacy spell on this baby because of my line of work. Can\u2019t have people overhear my recipes now, can we?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella still felt like she had a cloud trying to lift from her so her brain was confused as she listened, processing what he was saying and with what she knew. Or thought she knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo,\u201d he said as he brushed his hand against her exposed arm as he took the first little bite-sized snack. \u201cTry this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She blinked as she wordlessly took the food and swallowed, but wasn\u2019t sure how she felt. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with me? What are you?\u201d she asked again, looking at him. \u201cPeter\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with you,\u201d Isaac assured her as he leaned back against the counter after briefly touching her again. \u201cWell\u2026 actually\u2026 that\u2019s debatable. You\u2019re hanging around with Cold Ones and I heard you were warned by them about their nature, and yet, you didn\u2019t run for the hills, why is that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m in love with one,\u201d she muttered, confused. \u201cWe\u2019re getting married?\u201d Bella looked around, frowning as she took in the view from the truck. \u201cWhy am I getting married? I\u2019m only eighteen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA bit young, huh?\u201d he agreed as he grabbed a can of coke for himself and took a sip. \u201cDidn\u2019t your fianc\u00e9 warn you about his kind of vampires? That they\u2019re physically beautiful – which is debatable, by the way – and have a special kind of pheromone to lure in their prey – you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She turned back at him with a glare. \u201cThere\u2019s more than one kind?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also the warm cuddly kind who can walk in the sun without looking like a disco ball,\u201d Isaac nodded. \u201cThese guys are a joke, really. We like to call them marble statues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella turned to stare out the window again, silent as she internally fumed at more supernatural information that seems to had been kept from her. \u201cI won\u2019t ask again. What are you<\/em>, because you clearly are doing something<\/em> to me because this is most it seems I\u2019ve been able to think for myself around this house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac ran a hand through his hair as he looked at her, slightly anxious, but Peter had already told him that this would happen and it would be best to be straight with the girl. \u201cJust like there are two kinds of vampires, there are two or three kinds of werewolves. You already know the pony sized ones, they\u2019re actually shapeshifters, created by magic. Each pack decides what animal they like to see themselves as, wolves, cats, horses, hell, encountered a flock of fucking birds once who turned back into humans. Then there\u2019s the kind of werewolf that doesn\u2019t change much when they go into wolf-mode, and then there\u2019s me. The kind of werewolf who can be hairy, scary, has fangs and yellow eyes but is able to take pain away from others. And in your case, I\u2019m…. brushing away the Cullen\u2019s interference and, in essence, returning you to your own mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She snorted as she glanced at him. \u201cSo a drugless, supernatural antibiotic?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He laughed. \u201cI have been called worse,\u201d he snickered. \u201cBut yes. I suppose. Apart from being a werewolf, I\u2019m also a hunter who helps other supernatural beings who are in trouble. You see, hunters have been around for centuries. They hunt everything that goes bump in the night, and recently some had changed their way, seeing that not everything supernatural is bad. Four years ago, however, things changed and now, more than ever, supernaturals are being hunted and killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella frowned, sympathetic to what he was sharing. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I don\u2019t understand what that has to do with me or how I can help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to help you to make the right decision for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight decision? By not marrying Edward? If he\u2019s really been using his vampire abilities on me and not letting our relationship progress as naturally as one should then of course not, but still\u2026 Thanks for clearing my head, but as soon as I\u2019m back in arms reach, I\u2019m in his trap again, aren\u2019t I? Do you or Peter have a plan to stop that?\u201d she questioned, skeptical of this charade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you really sure that that\u2019s the decision you have to make?\u201d Isaac asked as he popped a snack into his mouth and ate it, watching her face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe fuck are you talking about?\u201d she snapped. \u201cYou\u2019re beginning to sound as cryptic as Jasper\u2019s asshole friend!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I\u2019m not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, you are because I\u2019m tired, I\u2019m bitchy because this has been a long day, and no one ever wants to give me a straight fucking answer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay, you know what? Fine. The reason I\u2019m asking is because sometimes there are other decisions to be made or reasons for Cold Ones to control their pets. If you truly feel that you\u2019ve been played and manipulated, then yes, to marry or not to marry is a decision you have to make on your own. You don\u2019t have to do it now, you can think about it while your head is clear and Peter has an idea on how we can achieve that, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella sneered as she headed for the door. \u201cI\u2019m just sure he does. I\u2019m sure he has it all planned out already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can tell them that you want to see me work during a real food truck festival, to test my skills in the field. That\u2019d mean you\u2019d be gone from them for about a week, giving you plenty of time to detox from their influence and to get your head straightened out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat means going to Seattle,\u201d she pouted as she thought about the drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, that means leaving this truck in Seattle and grabbing the one that I have in Texas after we take a plane there,\u201d he replied to her with a shrug. \u201cI won\u2019t win any barbeque prizes because hell, I\u2019m a chef, not a farmer, but people do tend to like my food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She turned back to look at him before stepping through the threshold. \u201cYou\u2019re implying running away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh no, I\u2019ll return you after we\u2019re done. Or we\u2019ll go back together if you want a clean break from them after the week of fun and sun. If you decide not to go through with the wedding after all, I can take you somewhere safe, or you can stick around and help me to help others.\u201d Oh, Isaac was sure he was fucking this up. He wasn\u2019t the hero or cut out for long speeches. Stupid Peter. This girl was definitely in trouble, and he wasn\u2019t sure if he had gotten through to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thoughtful look crossed her face as she eyed him and said nothing as she stepped out and walked back towards the house with a smile. She could see that Edward was clearly not a happy camper and shook her head with a sigh. \u201cWhat is your problem now, Edward?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a werewolf, isn\u2019t he?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight. As much as I am one, sure,\u201d she scoffed as she looked at him like he ate a cheeseburger. \u201cYou are seriously a paranoid asshole lately and until you get over it, I\u2019m going to take some time away from you and the area. I think I might go visit my mom or something but I\u2019ve about had enough of all of this for now. And Peter? You\u2019re a dick,\u201d she added as she walked towards the driveway. \u201cYou also need to deal with my dad since he wanted you over for dinner. I don\u2019t know what you did but he likes you, so you have to eat human food tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd may I remind you to call your father to ask him what\u2019s on that paper?\u201d Peter said playfully as he looked over to Isaac, who looked as if he was lost, had lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure I\u2019ll find out at dinner,\u201d she sighed. \u201cBesides I have to call mom to let her know I\u2019m coming down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSee you later then,\u201d Peter grinned as he watched Bella walk down the driveway, it was a long walk back in town, and she was going to get hit by another surprise. He signalled to Isaac that it was time to leave before turning around to Edward and the remaining Cullens. \u201cRespect Bella\u2019s wishes, she\u2019s clear headed now<\/em>. I\u2019m sure that she\u2019ll come back when she decides that she has nothing to fear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edward punched Peter, hard. \u201cWho do you think you are for messing with my life? Bella is mine. She loves me. Of course she\u2019ll come back to me! I can offer her the world and then some.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter rubbed his jaw, chuckling. \u201cWas it really her own emotions or your lure? If<\/em> she comes back, then everyone will know the truth. I\u2019d be more worried about what she\u2019ll do to you when she figures it all out herself. Don\u2019t go near her, leave her alone. Give her time and for fuck\u2019s sake, don\u2019t even think about messing with her friends and family because I will gladly put you down.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose moved closer, her arms crossed as she eyed the boys arguing. \u201cWhat are you meaning about using a lure on her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRose, honey, us Cold Ones look pretty, we have a smooth voice, and we excrete some sort of pheromone that is addictive to humans – and to vampires to an extent. Fortunately I never learned how to use it, but oh, is Eddie boy abusing it!\u201d Peter smirked as he looked at Edward, who looked like he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Rose was going to be pissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She turned to her brother, appalled. \u201cNo wonder Bella was constantly teetering between infatuation and being perpetually pissed off around you. It was like she couldn\u2019t decide how to feel. You would immediately be on her when she was angry with you and she\u2019d flip like a switch! That\u2019s just \u2026\u201d she couldn\u2019t even come out with the words that she wanted to say it felt like to her as a shudder ran through her. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare come anywhere near me, Edward. I wouldn\u2019t expect Bella to come back either if she figures it out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeter, you\u2019ve outstayed your welcome,\u201d Carlisle came out of the house, speaking quietly as he pulled Rose into his arms, she was upset and Peter was the reason for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat for? Speaking truths?\u201d he asked. \u201cNah, I\u2019m staying in town until Bella leaves and Jasper gets back. Just to make sure Fucktard there stays away from her. And – I\u2019m not so sure Rose, that you should be that close to Daddy. He\u2019s well aware of what lures can do too. Just never said anything to you lot. Poor vampire education round this place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmett growled as he pulled Rose out of Carlisle\u2019s arms and pulled her along to the garage, got into a car and sped off, creating as much distance between them and Carlisle and Edward as possible in a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kicking back on the pristine white couch, he threw his feet up on the coffee table and crossed his arms behind his head. \u201c60 years. Damn, been waiting to break out those truths.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGet out,\u201d Edward said venomously. \u201cGo annoy someone else!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake me,\u201d the former warrior challenged, narrowing his eyes, a smile on his lips in invitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEdward, don\u2019t,\u201d Carlisle grabbed his son\u2019s arm. \u201cWe\u2019ll ask the Volturi for help, leave him be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, yes! Please do!\u201d Peter rubbed his hands together in glee. \u201cYes. Yes. Yes. Please, pretty please with a cherry on top! Let\u2019s call them right now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
