Black (Paul Lahote)

Chapter 12

I rode quickly to the Cullens knocking on the door and stepping back to wait, A new lady opened the door and smiled knowing full well who I was,

"Hello, I'm Rosie" I said extending my hand, hers was cold but gentle, definitely motherly type,

"Hello Rosie my name is Esme, please come in, I'll call the girls down" she said inviting me in, the house itself was an open house, not all dark like I half expected, there were no photos though just what looked like priceless art, it had a kitchen which I thought was odd seeing as they don't eat but hey I suppose they needed it to look normal, Esme left me near the staircase and called up but it was Emmett who came down first,

"Rosie, nice to see you again" he said pulling me in for a hug, "Wow you really are warm"

"Thanks, to be honest I never pictured you a hugger" I giggled,

"He's really a teddy bear once you get to know him" Alice had come down followed by Rosalie,

"A very buff one" Rosalie commented giving him a wink,

"Hello Rosie, You look nice, now this is what I pictured you in not the dress Alice gave you" Edward came in from behind me, I just smiled, then another unfamiliar face came in, this must be the last of the Cullens,

"Hello, I am Carlisle, father to this lot for all intensive purposes" a very handsome man he was,

"Rosaline, but Rosie for short" I said shaking his cold hand, typical for a doctor,

"I hope you three won't cause much trouble" Carlisle said,

"I think the twin sister of Jacob wouldn't cause too much trouble" Jasper said from behind me, all of a sudden I feel outnumbered, so I tried to hurry things along,

"Well if we want to catch all the good shops I suggest we leave now, shall we" I smiled, I walked back out the way I came and got on my bike,

"We can take one of our cars" Alice suggested, I nodded and hopped off my bike and followed the girls around the back, I expected a nice car but was shocked to see multiple nice cars, we got into a silver porsche and headed toward Seattle, the rate that Alice drives we'd be there in no time, I just sat back and enjoyed the scenery, this is the way I like to travel. I don't know how long after but we made it to a rather large mall, like the ones in the city and parked under shelter and headed in but I caught a whiff of something familiar and stopped to look around, I couldn't sense anything so I carried on,

Shop after shop after shop later us girls emerged with our arms laden with shopping bags and headed back to the car, on our way there we passed a food court and only then did my tummy grumble, noticing the time I realised I haven't eaten all day,

"Go we'll wait" Alice said to me, I smiled brightly and ran to McDonalds for a big mac combo and walked back to them with my food,

"I'll eat on the way home if that's alright" I said to Alice she nodded and we began our journey home.

The trip home wasn't too bad, Alice asked a lot of questions mostly how do I deal with so many wolf men, I just laughed and said theres a trick to it, we made it home and I opened the link again just to check in,

-when are you coming back?- Leah asked me,

-Yeah I'm with Leah- that was Paul,

-Soon, I promise- was all I said and blocked it again,

"Are you alright?" Rose asked me, she told me to call her Rose at the mall,

"Yeah it's just the pack want me back soon" I said shrugging and grabbing my bags, I obviously dis not think this through, how am I to fit myself and five bags on my bike, but just as I thought that Bella pulled up,

"Hey Bella" I smiled,

"Hey, Rosie"

"Are you going by the res later?" I asked

"Yeah I was actually to see Jacob but we need to talk to the rest of these guys first, did you and the shop you're carrying want a ride?"

"Yeah please, I will wait"

"Come in actually, this might involve you" Edward said to me.

One hour later...

Bella is being stalked or something by a different vampire one they haven't come across, I opened up the pack link to notify them and Jake said he'd meet us at Bella's.

Bella, Edward and I went back to Bella's house and Jake went inside to check it out, but I could smell it from out here, it's a new scent vampire all the same, if it comes back we'd know.

"Rosie, head home Pauls freaking out and Deuce is being dropped off because Leah has to do a perimeter run" Jake said to me so I nodded and walked all my things to my house.
