WOLF BOY AND VAMPIRE GIRL

Wolf Boy and Vampire Girl

The minute I stepped through the door that evening, I regretted not taking up Jacob's offer of a human sacrifice.

"Where the hell were you?" Rosalie yelled when she heard me come in. Mom and Dad rushed to me immediately, and Alice and Jasper were on the couch. Edward also immediately stopped what he was doing to come rip me a new one.

"I was with Tyler and Mariana, like I said I would be," I told them calmly. I didn't understand why everyone was so panicked. The debacle with Edward was weeks ago.

"If you were with Tyler and Mariana, I would have been able to see you," Alice argued. "There's only one way I wouldn't be able to see you, and that's if you're dead." Or with Jacob, I thought to myself. Edward glared at me, reading my mind, seeing what had really happened this afternoon.

"No!" Edward roared, and I instinctively took a step towards the door. All eyes were on Edward now.

"She was with the dog," Edward grumbled.

"He was with some friends at the same store me and my friends were at, we ran into each other!" I defended. It wasn't like I sought him out or something.

"That doesn't make sense, I still would be able to see your future by now..."Alice trailed off.

"Unless you're taking him up on his offer?" Edward challenged.

"Of course I am," I told Edward. I never considered not going, although, I don't know why.

"Do you realize how dangerous that is? Or what that dog has put Bella through these past few days? You need to stay away from him," Edward warned.

"Or what?" I challenged. He wasn't my father.

"Danielle, Edward has a point. We have a treaty with the wolves and we wouldn't want to tarnish that simply because you're curious," Dad stepped in, always trying to be a mediator.

"I'm not curious," I scoffed at his choice of words. "Jacob's a nice guy. He was Bella's best friend. Why can't he be one of my friends?"

"He's dangerous, and Bella won't be seeing him anymore either," Edward declared.

"What, are you going to make that decision for her? Guess what, Edward, he was there when she was going through the hell you put her through. You don't get to take that away from her," I spat at him. You're not her father either, I thought at him. He growled.

"You think you know so much, Dani, you think you know so much about this world. You know nothing. You're just a human. You should know by now not to argue with us on matters of this sort."

"Wow, I'm just a human?" I said, hurt by his choice of words. "If I'm just a stupid human than maybe you should just send me back to the state. Better yet, you should have just never adopted me."

I stomped up to my room. Mom and Dad tried to stop me, but I waved them off. I didn't care how dangerous they thought Jacob was. Edward had no right to say those things. Yes, there were many things I didn't understand about this world, but that didn't mean I was incapable. That didn't mean that I was incompetent.

I may be just a human, but I'm a human who can make my own decisions and my own failures. They would just have to live with that.

"He did what?" I asked Bella at school. Apparently she was grounded for life because Jacob dropped of the motorcycle she had been driving while we were away. Charlie was not happy.

"He thought I wasn't going down to La Push because of Edward, not because of me being grounded for going to Italy. He thought me being grounded would keep Edward and I separated," Bella explained. I was going to have to have a word with Jacob later. If I was ever able to sneak out and see him again.
