His Little Mystery

15

Graduation party, a few hours after the actual graduation.

The house is full of human goers; humans, vampires, a few wolves, and a hybrid- me. Jacob Black, Embry, Call, and Quill Altera are the three wolves who have made an appearance, because Bella asked. Jacob and I haven't spoken since we went to Italy. That's been a long time.

Jessica Stanley and Angela Webber are looking around the house, because neither of them have been inside. Jessica is the one who is most intrigued, because she has money but far from enough for this plane.

Eric and Mike are in the kitchen, probably stuffing their faces. Esme got to use the kitchen again, he cooked for the humans, the wolves, and me.

Carlisle still has no idea what I am. He doesn't research as much now, because Esme makes him hunt with her once a day, and he has a few extra shifts at the hospital.

"Esmerelda," Edward says as he finds me. "You gonna Tell the truth about that conversation with Aro?"

"Leave it alone, Edward." I scowl. "That was a week ago."

With that, I walk away. Jacob is watching me as I pass them.

"Es." Embry greets, "I made you something."

I smile as he hands me a handmade bracelet. He used black leather, and a silver charm with fangs and a wolf head.

"A wolf with vamp fangs?" I smirk. "Real cute, Em."

Embry hugs me. "Congrats."

Jacob's brown eyes are looking at me through his long lashes. I thank Embry before I go upstairs.

Everybody meets up in the den while the party is in full blow. Apparently, Alice had a vision and Edward read it on her mind- Carlisle wanted a meeting with the wolves here too.

"They'll be here in four days." Alice says.

"This could be a blood bath," Carlisle adds.

"Who's behind it?" Jacob asks from beside Bella.

"I didn't see anyone I recognized." Alice replies. "Maybe one."

"I know his face," Edward pipes in "a local. Riley Biers. He isn't behind this." Edward says before pausing. "Whoever is; is staying out of the action."

Carlisle looks at Alice before saying, "they mutt be playing with the blind spots in your visions."

"Either way," Jasper speaks up, "the army's coming and there isn't enough of us to protect the town."

"Whoa, hold up!"  Jacob exclaims, looking around at us all. "What damn army?"

"Newborns, our kind." Carlisle replies.

"What are they after?" Embry asks.

"They we're passing around Bella's scent." Alice replies. "A red blouse."

"They're after Bella?" Jacob grumbles, looking at the girl who was once my sister- she denies me now. "What the hell does this mean?"

"It means an ugly right," I reply for Carlisle. "With lives lost."

Jacob looks at me for a minute before looking back at Quill and Embry, then sighs. "Alright, we're in."

"No, you'll get yourselves killed!" Bella protests. "No way."

"I wasn't asking for permission," Jacob says smoothly, eyeing me again for a split second.

"Edward?" Bella looks at him pleadingly. 

"It means more protection for you." Edward says, looking up at Jacob.

"Jacob, I believe Sam would agree with an understanding." Carlisle says.

"As long as we get to kill some vampires." Jacob smirks.

"I wanna help." I say.

All eyes land on me. No comes from every single vampire and wolf out here, plus Bella's soft voice.

"I believe it is time I told you what I am, what I leaned in Italy of what I am." I say.

Carlisle snaps his eyes towards me and he stands up. "It would have been nice at the beginning when you guys returned, but now is better than never."

I look around at everyone, there eyes are all on me. "I'm a hybrid."

"A hy....." Jacob freezes. "What?"

"As aro explained to me; I am human, but I am also a vampire." I explain. "I...." I pause. "I don't know who my father is, but my mother's nMe is AnnaBeth."

"That is a lie," Bella says. "You told Charlie you found your father."

"Alright, I do know him." I reply. "But I choose not to say, at this moment in front of everyone."

"Can you fight?" Carlisle asks.

"Yes, she can." Alice replies. "She fought off Felix and Dimitri to keep them from killing a very human Bella."

"And she fought off Laurent when he tried killing her," Jacob says. "He ran gown hw saw us, but fought back with Esmerelda."

Carlisle gives me a funny look but he nods. "Fine, you can fight. But you're on the mountains with Edward and Bella."

"Not all of us are used to fighting vampires." Jacob says, referring to the sweet, innocent Quill.

"We will all need some training." Carlisle replies. "Tomorrow, in the clearing."

"Jacob," I say gently. "Talk to Sam."

Jacob leaves, by a word to me. Quill smiles at me before following the two other wolves. Emmett smiles warmly at me before I go upstairs.

I punch my wall, mad at myself for giving away my secret.

"Hey, calm down." Jasper says as he flashes in my room. "It's okay. We needed to know, and you know that."

"I know," I whimper. "I wi- I wish I could say who my fa-father is."

"But you know who he is," Jasper says. "He's a vampire?"

"A smart one," I whisper. "I wi- I wish I could say."

Jasper places a gentle hand on my back. "It's okay. Maybe in time, you can."

"Thank you for understanding, Jasper." I say.

Jasper only nods before he leaves my room. I put on some pajamas before Emmett walks in.

"Hey, my little hybrid baby." Emmett smirks as he lays beside me. "Come here."

I wrap myself in Emmett's arms. "I'm sorry I kept it to myself for so long."

"Edward was livid, you blocked your mind from him." Emmett laughs.  "He's forgiving now."

"Didn't want him blabbing before i told." I shrug. "Vampires are stupid, no offense."

"None taken." Emmett says as I close my eyes, and I fall asleep.
