Chapter 7

                     Isla is kind of disappointed that Edward is missing today, but he assured her it wasn't because of her. He just needed some time away. He's going to spend some time with some family in Denali, Alaska and will be back in a weeks time.
                   Isla drops Ronny and Rosa off with Esme, she said she'd watch them while Isla is at school and work today, or any day that Isla needed a dog sitter. She drives her car to school and she parks beside Jasper's. He tugs her into a secure hug when she gets out and she glances across the lot. Jessica is kicking around a soccer ball with Eric, Mike, and an Angela Webber.
                      "That looks like fun," Isla murmurs. "May I?"
                       "Yes, just no using your telepathy," Jasper instructs. "You're lucky I didn't tell Edward about the gym slip up."
                          Isla simply kissss Jasper and she jogs across the lot. Jessica is more than willing to allow Isla to play. The group are always way too nice to her because she is wirh one of the members of the Cullen family. Bella watches and when Jessica waves her over to join, she smiles but declines, and watches for Edward to show up.
                    Classes came and go, Edward didn't show and it only upset Bella. But Isla knew he wouldn't show. He's in Alaska, visiting family. Isla wishes she had the guts to go back to the reservation to visit her own family, but she doesn't.
                    Isla drives straight to the diner after school and she grabs an apron from the back. "Hey, Cora."
                     The ebony woman in her mid thirties smiles. "Hey, Isla. How you doin'? How's school?"
                       "I'm good and school's good," Isla replies. "I have a table."

                      "I don't trust Isabella," Rosalie says at the house. "Isla is a different story. She seems to have her head on straight and has yet to be suspicious of us. But..."
                        "But what, Rosalie?" Jasper asks as the coven sits around the foyer living room, all apart from Edward.
                          "I think she will know," Rosalie whispers. "'Cause we all know how Edward is. He will expose us without thinking while Isla is around and..." she shudders. "We'll lose control of our thoughts and she'll know, Isla will know." She looks at Jasper. "It terrifies me."
                       Jasper looks at his hands and he sighs. "Me too." He looks at Alice. "Has she made decisions to cause visions?"
                    Alice frowns and she shakes her head. "I'm sorry, Jas, but no. None regarding us. I wish, though."
                     "I do, too, but we can't control your visions," Jasper says with a sigh. "Isla and I are in a good place, though."
                       "Have the kisses turned into more yet?" Emmett teases. "Ow!" He yelps as Rosalie hits him. "What?"
                       "Shut up!" Rosalie hisses but smiles. "Are the kisses hesting up any?"
                       "Not yet," Jasper replies. "I'm scared that when her blood moves faster..."
                    "I know," Rosalie replies as she touches his scarred forearm. "She is the only human I like."
                      Jasper chuckles, the tension in the room lifting. "Yeah, I know. She likes you, too, Rose. I'm almost jealous."
                     Rosalie eblows him and she laughs. "Oh yeah, 'cause I'd so do Emmett like that."

                   Work went smoothly and after she gets off, Isla picks up her dogs and goes home. She bathed them both before she goes to cook her some dinner. She has some spaghetti and garlic bread. She goes to open the back foot while the water boils with the pasta and the dogs go outside. Rosa is just following Ronny.
                   While the dogs are outside and supper's on the stove, Isla cleans up Rosa's poop and little puddles of pee and she goes back to the kitchen. She finishes cooking her supper and she sits at the dining table to eat and then she does the dishes and goes to bed with her dogs.
