With the Elements | Twilight

Chapter 30

Abbie's POV

"What is she doing here? I thought you were out being a whore in Europe." Isabella says coming down stairs.

Causing Carlisle to silently growl at her comment. I squeeze his hand to reassure she didn't bother me.

"No I was learning and relaxing in Europe. Shouldn't you be in school?" Changing the subject.

"Don't worry I've been. Worried what STD you might carry." She barks.

"Bella please be civil. Abbie knows what we are she can help us." Alice says.

"No I can't actually." I respond.

"Come on Bella. Let them discuss for now. Let's get you packed." Esme takes her back home.

"Why can't you help Bella or me?" Edward asks me and I wait for the door to close before answering.

"I use my gifts on free will. I decide, the only times I don't decide is when a child of the mother prays or calls for me. You're not one of them neither is Isabella." I say.

"What is a child of the mother?" Jasper asks.

"There are ranks for people within The Mothers ladder. Children of The Mother is the highest rank. Only Jasper and Rosalie are children of The Mother. Pray to The Mother and she sends me to help. Second rank are the children. Still close to The Mother but second thought. Emmett is a child. The third is not on the ranks as they can help themselves. Alice is one of them. The fourth and last rank is the tainted. Edward and Isabella are in this rank. This rank none of the gods or goddesses help. Lost cause even if you try to beg for help."

"So you don't want to help Bella or me because we're tainted on your stupid rank!" Edward yells.

"It is my decision not to help you. The ranks just guide me." I say as he storms off.

"So where does Esme go?" Alice asks.

"She's a mother. Mothers are taken care all the time, Alice." I sighs.

"How can you help us when we pray to you?" Jasper asks, timidly.

"If you overthink something or want to talk or get some guidance. If the case of pray is serious The Mother some times takes over to help. Just depends." I say.

"Have you answered a prayer before?" Rosalie asks.

"Yes, some are even from my own orphanage. To read a bed time story or hold them while a storm passes or give them something to eat. Sometimes the mothers pray too for their children. Those prayers get answered too." I say playing with the vines under my skin.

"Anyways I got to ahead home. Please don't pray to soon." I walk to the front door taking the first steps out. "See you tonight." I tell Carlisle.

At home I make some dinner for Charlie and I. Isabella is mad I know about the Cullens which led her breaking my bedroom door down to get inside which Charlie quickly stopped her.

Once I cleaned the mess of door, I began with my night routine, changing to shorts and oversized hoodie. With Harry Potter playing in the background packing for Italy again.

The clock was ticking towards 11 pm before I decided to head to bed, still waiting for Carlisle. I closed the window without locking it and played another movie.

Moments later the window clicking open and Carlisle scent enters my room.

"I thought you forgot?" I whisper.

"Had to make sure everyone was asleep." Moving to sit down on the recliner in the corner.

"Don't sit there. Come here." I turn to pat the side of my bed. "Close the window too."

"You won't be uncomfortable?" He asks.

"No I asked you to and I want you to. So please lay with me." Holding open the blanket for him to lay down.

Carlisle stiffly moves to lay on the bed still unsure what will happen. I lay my head on his chest with my hand on his shoulder and leg across his waist. 

"Relax. You think Edward will tell Isabella?" I ask, feeling him sigh relaxing to my touch.

"I don't know. He has been acting different since he's met Bella." Carlisle moves his hands to hug me.

"Your scent is calming. My gifts that are affected by a mates bond haven't been tamed for a while. How are you affected by the bond? Do you share the same feelings with the others?" I ask playing with his hand.

"My brothers and I feel the bond pulling us to you. We were made for you. We are to protect and love you though with the wrong people have done to you. You get to decide so you lead me following your pace." He say drawing small circles on my back.

"What if I want you to do the first move? What if-"

"Then I will take that lead with your consent of course. Now may I kiss you?"

"Y-yes" I say and feel his lips on mine a second later. I stop playing with his hand to squeeze it once the kiss gets overwhelming. I feel my cheeks warm with blush.

"Goodnight, we see the kings tomorrow." I say.
