Rhea's POV
It has been a week since Sur blew up on learning my secret and for the last 5 days I've been tortured by my best friends.
Ever since Sur and Sona came to know that Emmett is my true soulmate, they have been pushing me to dress up more provocatively for him, or to wear more makeup. They both have been making all sorts of stupendous excuses for me to go to the Wayne household. Though I have to concur, the look on Em's face when he sees me in one of those micro-mini dresses is gratifying, but what he sees is some artificial doll and not me.
Anyways, I stopped hoping for a future with Em the moment I saw care for him in Rose's eyes. Based on that, and the fact that the dresses they chose were a bit too much of Rose's style, I decided to put my foot down at last. These dresses are way too short for my liking, they all have plunging necklines and they are like a second skin to me. Moreover, not even one of these dresses is comfortable. As irritated as I was, I was fortunately able to convince (blackmail) Sur and Sona to forgo all these idiocies. Thankfully, with decades of stuff over their heads, it wasn't that hard. I merely had to mention a few magic words to them that would send their over-bearing, over-protective, super-jealous mates in a paroxysm and I was free of any and all compulsions.
Today, at last, I'm in my own clothes. I'm wearing an oversized T-shirt, which probably belonged to Dams or Nathaniel, Sona's soulmate, along with a pair of leggings, with my hair thrown in a messy bun. I was comfortable and that is exactly what I intend on while choosing my clothes – lavish or otherwise.
Due to the various happenings of the year, my family was not in the mood of celebrating Christmas, and so instead of forcing them to do anything then, I decided to have a simple get-together two days later, that is today. This was just for all of us to spend some time together, get to know each-other (Well the 'Seraphims' will get to know the 'Waynes' and vice-versa) more like a time to open up. My family has barely met Sona and none of them have ever seen Nathaniel.
I met Sona, during one of my missions in the East. Her name means gold, and she does have a heart of gold. During the end of my mission, she nearly died and to save her life, I got Nate to turn her. They turned out to be soulmates, anyways, and that was a win-win for all. I got to keep my best friend close and they both got to keep each-other forever. Sona is a beautiful 16 year old vampire, with beautiful blue eyes, the color of the skies and brown hair. Complimenting her was Nathaniel, 22 years old with blue eyes, the color of the ocean and dirty blonde hair, looking like the poster American boy.
I was brought out of my reverie by Alice who pirouetted in along with Jazz, while the others followed her. Mom had brought eggnog with her, as a housewarming and Christmas present for us. Em entered last, and for a second, he stopped looking at the T-shirt I was wearing and looked a bit pleased? What?!? i disregarded the incident thinking that maybe he liked me better in normal clothes that don't remind him of Rose. After all of us were settled in the living room and we were all talking about anything and everything, Ed suddenly sprung the question on me. I knew it must have been troubling him for long.
"Why didn't you return after finishing your assignments?" Ed asked me.
"If I kept appearing and disappearing, it would leave cracks in the memory and that would really hurt. Also, I was handed one assignment after the other for the next three decades. I did feel it, when Alice and Jasper join you in the year 1950. It was exactly like what I felt when Emmett was bitten. Again I felt another thread join me in 2005, when you saw Bella for the first time. And then, I felt true fright when I felt Renesmee join me at the very moment of her being conceived." I made a face at that as I remembered yet again what I saw at the time. "Also, as soon as Renesmee joined you, Jacob joined me as well. This was certainly something new. You all were supposed to have a happy ending." I finished with a sigh.
"That is why you are back?" Ed questioned, not quite angry but not composed either. I exhaled loudly as I thought of how I could tell him the truth without complicating things further.
"Ed! You all were supposed to live happily ever after and then die together, with your mates and then join us for your judgements. I wasn't supposed to interfere in your lives. I was your guardian now. I was not supposed to be recognized. My place was in my world, looking over you always, but not really involved. Now Rosalie is gone and we are unable to understand what the hell happened." My frustration leaked into my voice as I finished.
"Will you leave? After...?" this time it was Bella who asked me this- my brother frozen into a statue.
"I don't think that will be possible now Bhabhi." I said "I was young and untrained then. I am the best now. I don't exactly have to follow the council in each and everything. I can be allowed to live with my family, if they want me to."
"Of course we want you my darling." Mom said, without a pause, without thinking. I smiled gratefully at her.
"You are always welcome princess." Dad echoed her sentiments, again without any hesitation.
Ed stood up, nodded curtly and left us alone. "He wants you to stay too Ri, trust me." Bella said smiling.
I smiled all the while trying to get the tears in my eyes to stay back, as Bella got up and went after Ed, hopefully to get him to calm down and forgive me. I have been saying sorry to him ever since I came back.
Mom and Sur were talking about interior designing and have moved to the settee in the corner. Renesmee and Jacob were in the kitchen while Sona and Alice discussed clothes. I saw dad and Jazz standing at the balcony, discussing something, probably Jasper's control (or lack thereof in his eyes).
"You are wearing clothes today." Emmett said out of the blue. I jumped, having nearly forgotten his presence on the sofa near me. Then as soon as his words caught up with me, I choked on the juice I was drinking and started to cough and wheeze like some old witch.
"Wh... What?!?" I sputtered, as soon as I could string two words together.
"I – I – I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Em was flustered. If a vampire could blush, I can bet my wings, he would have been red as a tomato. This was a first. Playboy, ever-confident and cocky Emmett Cullen-Wayne- was flustered.
Em took a deep fortifying breath, probably due to the amused look on my face.
Yay! Now we move on to the real parts. I hope I'm not going too sow. Do like and comment dearies and I'm so sorry for the long break. I was confused on how exactly should I word this chapter. It's done at last and so is the next chapter, almost. Now he dedication is to another of my darling followers, babam12360
