Trapped in Twilight, Help!

Chapter 28

"So, Alice said Biology went well." Emmett said casually during our last block of the day. "What happened?"

"Nothing, really," I shrugged. "We left the heater on, everything was pretty much how it went in the books except Edward said that she smells like a wet dog."

"I figured that would be the case," Jasper said, speaking up. "I noticed it from across the parking lot."

"Noticed what?" Rosalie scoffed.

"Her smell; she has a bond with a werewolf from La Push," He said simply. "You can smell it on them; the wet dog smell. It's faint but there; like the dog claimed her before he even knew himself. It's what draws them in if they meet their imprint while not in human form. I'm guessing that it's because she'll be imprinted on after the wolf phases for the first time."

"So it's like a beacon to other wolves, right?" I summed up. "And to themselves."

"Exactly. And, to us." Jasper said.

"Mmmhmmm," Alice hummed. "I thought that's what it was on her; her future's pretty hazing."

"Great, so after getting those...turds... out of the way, she'll be the mutts' duty." Emmett shrugged, rethinking his choice of words.

"Yes," Rose agreed. "I really like that idea."

"So do I," Alice said. She got a text; "I really like that idea. From Edward." I shrugged, agreeing with it. Jasper nodded, too.

Soon after our conversation, the bell rang; having (per routine) already gone to my locker and received all of my things, I followed my 'siblings' to Edward's car. We hardly bothered to wait as Alice and I climbed into the very back with Rose and Emmett in the middle row and Edward and Jasper up front.

"You two should probably got hunting tonight," Alice hummed to Edward and Jasper. "Get a few elk in. Maybe a bear?"

"Oooh," Emmett grinned. "I'm game! What are you girls going to do?"

"Sleep," I mumbled; my sleep pattern has been destroyed and I realized that sleep was very crucial to my ever-thinking, tiresome mind. It took too much energy to not sleep; I don't know how everyone else managed to not sleep; it just seemed like a natural response to everything.

"Are we keeping the little human up?" Emmett teased. I hummed, looking out the window. "Oops; just don't let Esme know, she'll freak out."

"You are really usually in bed by eight?" Edward snorted. I nodded, not bothering to speak. "Don't you have a social life?" He teased.

"Going to bed at eight has nothing to do with a social life," I said, thinking about my dad's 'friends are only at school' motto. I've never minded it until now. No one's ever brought it up.

"Your dad keeps you from socializing?" Edward growled, heads snapped to me. His eyes seemed dark and dangerous.

"Not really," I said, shifting in the seat uncomfortably.

"Edythe," Rose pushed. "Don't you hang out at friends' houses on the weekends and after school and stuff?" I shook my head, not meeting her eyes.

"What about Lily?" Alice asked, I didn't need to look at her to know that her dark gold eyes were wide.

"Sometimes I go over to her house on the weekends," I mumbled. "You know, after I clean up the house and do stuff around the house while Dad's at work."

"You mean that your dad doesn't even take the weekends off?" Jasper said, his eyes were dark, too.

"No," I shrugged; I've never minded until now and I liked not minding. I liked not having doubts about Dad.

"What about your mom?" Emmett demanded. His reaction was the scariest. "What the heck is she doing about all this?"

"She's dead." I said dully. "It's just me and my dad."
