It was with a heavy heart I left my paradise behind and we made the journey home. We would be doing the normal things young couples do before they move on with their lives, saying goodbye to friends and neighbours, boxing up all my stuff to go and lastly saying goodbye for now to Charlie. He noticed the change in me immediately on our return, all he said was
"Is this the beginning, of you looking like them now?" I nodded and hugged him telling him I'd still be me, just more!
He never came right out and asked, but I think he knew what they were, after all, he'd heard all the Quileute legends over the years. I think he just didn't want to go down the rabbit hole, he was too pragmatic to have his world stood on end, better to pretend it wasn't happening. You couldn't blame him, it was a large pill to swallow. It would all become apparent later when I stopped ageing!
We did our goodbyes to the Cullens too, they wanted to be involved in our move and my change but I told Peter no, they caused too much drama. I wanted to design and outfit my new home, not have Esme do it, I wanted to pick our clothes, not Alice's choices, but mine. I also was not going to be feeding their way and I knew Carlisle was disappointed, but if it was good enough for my husband and mate, then it's good enough for me, he should respect that choice, not treat me like a child who didn't know any better.
This was my future and I'm happy to have them as friends, occasionally, but the constant interfering and trying to take over everything was very wearing, especially after the last incident. Emmett's inability to respect boundaries and give people personal space was just so irritating. We had only been back three days and were at the cottage having some alone time, that would be sex and they all knew that even though I was married I wasn't doing that at Charlie's place.
It was obvious what we were doing, he could hear us for god's sake, but he just came in anyway, stood watching us from the doorway and demanded we go do whatever it was with him, because he was bored, hell no! I, unfortunately, wrecked the cottage when I used my shield to throw him out through the roof and almost back to their house, he landed on the edge of the lawn, making a huge crater, I later found out. This, in turn, had them all arriving to either compliment me on the throw or apologise to me for Emmett behaviour.
I was so livid, not to mention naked and my anger just grew exponentially with everyone who arrived and disregarded my right to privacy. Alice was standing holding the most unserviceable silk dress, expecting me to put it on, I grabbed up Peter's shirt and wore that instead. Edward was standing, head tilted, mouth opening as if to speak and I yelled:
"Critique my body Edward and it's the last thing you will ever do!" Peter was growling now,
struggling to get back into his jeans in his anger. Jasper was way back at the edge of the forest saying
"I told you all, this was a real stupid move, she's goin' to blow!" I was shaking now with suppressed rage and the cottage started to crumble around us all,
and they started to look unsure and confused, totally unaware that what they had done was unacceptable.
"Run, you idiot's she's going to kill you all!" Peter called out and they took off running as I exploded.
The cottage was no more, the next fifty yards of forest were no more and the noise was like a sonic boom from a jet fighter. Peter was standing next to me in awe, he just pulled me to him and kissed the living crap out of me saying
"That's my girl!" We left two days later, it was a don't call us, we'll call you situation!
The ranch was exactly as Peter said, a fixer-upper, so he made an inventory of the supplies he'd need, I decided I wanted him to make the furniture for here as well, he promised to show me how after my change and we could do it together. We wouldn't need much to survive here so I left all the decorating decisions for when we came back. The land had been neglected for so long that the fencing would also need to be replaced, Peter added that to his list, it would all be delivered while we were away and we would start work on our return.
