From another point of view (Outtakes from 'Trust me')

Outtake #2: Punishment enough

Author’s note: Welcome back to these ‘Trust me’ outtakes! It has been so long since I have written a chapter for any of my stories, so I am thrilled to finally have this one posted (some 2-3 months late, I know). Anyway, uni has been extremely hectic for me, but I am now on a 7 week break. However, I am still working so sadly I can’t write 24/7 as much as I wish I could : (

I dedicate this outtake to Cassandra Lowery. I believe she was the first to express her desire to find out exactly what Carlisle said to Rosalie and how she was punished for provoking Jacob to phase. I am a little nervous to read what you think, but hopefully you like the chapter, Cassandra!

So here is the second outtake from ‘Trust me’: Punishment enough (Rosalie’s POV of Chapter 13 of ‘Trust me’). Be warned: This outtake is not entirely in line with what happened in 'Trust me'; there are some significant differences. Nevertheless, i hope you will still enjoy the outtake anyway, and that it gives you a general idea of what was happening for both Rosalie (and Carlisle to some extent) after Jacob phased back in to his human form. I really look forward to your feedback about this chapter, because it was harder to write Rosalie than I thought it would be, and I did intentionally change things a little bit to make things a bit more dramatic!

I truly hope you enjoy this outtake. Please don’t forget to share your thoughts with me when you’re done! :D 

‘From another point of view’

Outtake #2- Punishment enough

Rosalie’s POV

          I was eager to return home after a three day absence; I had missed my family, and it felt strange knowing that the last time I saw them, a wolf was sleeping in our house. I had to know what had happened in our absence; were they all safe? Had Jacob returned home already? My questions were shortly answered when within feet of the back door, Jacob’s stench assailed my nostrils, and soon after we were confronted by Carlisle and a tensed Edward.

Here we go, I thought to myself the moment I saw Edward’s face.

Pathetic Edward is on a mission, I sighed silently. Edward had that blazing look in his eye that told me he was not happy to see me… at all. I tried to ignore his glare and almost silent hisses, but it was difficult when I already felt so unwelcomed. Didn’t they miss us at all?

After making my promise to Carlisle to not ruin anything, my husband and I were permitted to enter our home.

       Although I expected the wolf to be around, I did not expect him to appear so blatantly before my eyes the moment I walked in the door. So, I was horrified to see him sitting down at our kitchen table, eating Esme’s delicious meals, and stuffing his face in the most disgusting manner you could possibly imagine. The sight of him was putrid, and his stench just made what I saw all the more disturbing and threatening. Edward wanted to protect this- this messy kid? Why? Surely the wolf was keen to rejoin his pack where there were other animals like him who would appreciate his poor table manners. So what was he still doing here? I wondered whether Jacob was using my parents’ kindness to his advantage; skimping off our food and dear Esme’s sympathy. It took everything I had not to suggest it, but I held my tongue and my breath; I had promised Carlisle that I wouldn’t cause any problems.

         Instead I focused on what my husband was saying to the kid, to then realise that the wolf was indeed wearing my partner’s shorts. So, the wolf was permitted to wear our clothes now? Seriously? What had he done to trick my family into believing he deserved to borrow- no, permanently stink up my husband’s clothes? Just because Jacob is the same size as Emmett doesn’t give him rights over everything item of clothing he owns! Whose idea was it anyway?
