Chapter 27

Bella POV

"We don't come to fight just to talk." Edward said, calmly and one of the wolves growled.

"What is going on?" I asked.

"They are discussing whether or not they should listen to us." He said, and I saw Kristina raise her eyebrows. Edward then looked over like he was being called and I noticed a two of the wolves looking at Kristina. "We didn't change her. The treaty hasn't been broken." He said, calmly and Kristina frowned.

"They think your family changed me?" she asked, and I noticed one of the wolves flinch a bit.

"Yes, they do." Edward said, and Kristina looked at them.

"The Cullens didn't change me. I don't know who did though." She said, and the wolves seemed to roll their eyes as the black wolf barked at them.

"He asked why we want to talk." Edward said, and Tanya stepped forward.

"We believe that you all killed a friend of ours. We want to know if that is true. His name was Laurent-"

"They killed him." Edward interrupted, and Irina growled.

"Then I will kill them." She said, and stepped forward when Kate grabbed her and whisper something to her.

"Why did you kill him?" Edward asked, and we waited before he turned to us. "He attacked a human in the forest." I noticed Kristina roll her eyes and I noticed Kate poke her in the back and Irina was frowning.

"They are wrong! Laurent wanted to live in peace with humans." Irina said, upset.

"That's not true." Kristina said, and Irina glared at her. " 'E cheated all the time. You just ignored it." She said, and Kate pulled her back towards her and whispered in her ear.

"Irina we won't attack them if they didn't break the treaty. And we can't allow to you to attack them either." Edward said, calmly before looking at the wolves. "We are sorry that you had to deal with Laurent." He said, and the wolves just looked at him before backing into the bushes. We stood in silence for a while until Irina spoke.

"Why would you say that he cheated?" she said, glaring at Kristina and Kate covered her mouth.

"Irina, calm down we all know he had some mistakes but he never had any remorse for those accidents." Tanya said, calmly. "Why don't we go back to the house and calmly talk about this?" she said, and Irina ran off to the house.

"Well this is going great." Emmett laughed, and we all looked at him.

"I'll go talk to her." Carmen said, and left.

"So what was with the flinching wolf?" Kristina asked, and everyone turned to her looking confused. "What? One of the wolves flinched when I spoke. Also am I the only one who noticed that they smell awful." She said, and I notice Kate and Tanya nod a bit.

"One of them seemed to recognize you. I think you looked about five or six in the memory." Edward said, and Kristina nodded.

"Oh, we used to come down with Bella when she visited 'er dad. Well until they started going to California and my mother wanted to spend time in Nice." She said, and I nodded.

"Let's head back to the house there's nothing we can do anymore." Jasper said, and everyone left running back to the house while I got on Edward's back and we ran back to the house.

"Tanya is talking to Irina. Kate decided to go hunting and Emmett is joining her. Kristina's in the backyard with Eleazar and Jasper." Edward said, when we got back to the house.

"Why are Kristina, Jasper, and Eleazar in ze backyard?" I asked, confused and Edward grinned.

"Kristina wanted to draw, and Jasper is there to make sure she doesn't go crazy and attack you. Eleazar just went out in case she wanted to practice her morphing." He said, and I nodded.

"I take it Jasper lied to Kristina about why he's out there?" I asked, grinning slyly.

"Yes, he's now getting a death glare from Kristina." He said, laughing and I rolled my eyes.

"So what should we do?" I asked, raising my eyebrows and he grinned.

"Well we should go on a proper date." He said, and I looked at him.

"We've been on a date before." I said, and he rolled his eyes.

"I don't know if I count me saving your life and making sure you ate counts as a date." He said, and I grinned.

"We went 'iking remember?" I said, and he raised his eyebrow at me. "And I came and watched you play baseball," and his other eyebrow went up. "I also went to Prom with you and the Yule Ball." I said, and he smirked.

"So why don't we go on another date to the meadow?" he asked, and I nodded. "Good, Kristina wants to talk to you and help you get ready."

"Get ready? I'm already ready." I said, as Kristina came out.

"No, you're not so just be quiet so I can help you and we can 'ave girl talk." She said, grinning and I shook my head as she grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. We walked into Alice's room where Kate was sitting.

"Oh, dress up. This is going to be fun," she said, grinning.

"Well there is not much to do since Bella is already beautiful." Kristina said, and Kate nodded.

"True, but that doesn't mean it won't be fun." She said, plugging in a curling iron as Kristina went through the clothes I packed.

"So you're going 'iking?" she said, and I nodded as Kate started curling my hair. Kristina pulled out a pair of jeans and a comfortable sweater.

"Your shoes should be fine. Though I need to find my cute leather jacket." She said.

"Why?" Kate and I asked.

"It's cold out but not cold enough for a coat but my leather jacket would be perfect." She said.

"Can I even fit your jacket?" I asked, and she looked at me.

"Well you are small and the jacket was a bit big on me. Actually I think Fleur borrowed it a lot." She said, looking like she was trying really hard to think about it.

"Do you remember a lot?" I asked, and Kristina stared at me and smiled a bit.

"No, most of what I do remember is 'azy. I read my journals so I do remember more stuff than I should but everything is really 'azy from my past. I remember Fred and 'ow I felt about 'im. I miss 'im very much but I'm not sure I could really be around 'im." She said, her voice was a bit sad. "Anyway," she said, cheering up. "We need to find my jacket." She started going through her bag before squealing when she found it. I got dressed after Kate claimed she was finished with my hair. It was slightly wavy because of the way she had curled it and Kristina passed me a tube of lip gloss. "It 'as a moisturizer in it." She said, winking at me before walking out of the room and Kate laughed.

"Alice was right to send her to us. She'd be a perfect succubus." Kate said, and I raised my eyebrow at her and she covered her mouth. "Sorry, I wasn't supposed to mention that."

"You all are succubae?" I asked, and Kate grinned sheepishly.

"Guilty. Carmen and Eleazar aren't but Tanya, Irina, and I are. We're actually the originals." She said, and I nodded and she tilted her head. "Not worried?" she asked, and I shook my head.

"Veela, I'm used to women who enjoy flirting wiz men." I said, and she giggled.

"Fair enough, I've got to go your boyfriend wants you." She said, winking and walking out of the room. I shook my head before walking out of the room

"Ok, so that's the Big Dipper." Edward said, pointing out a group of stars.

"I don't see it." I said, and he chuckled.

"You haven't been able to see anything I've pointed out." He said, and I laughed.

"I did warn you zat I'm bad at zis." I said rolling over to my stomach to look at his face.

"Fair enough," he said, smirking as I moved closer to me. "So why won't you marry me?" he asked, as I moved my face closer to his.

"What?" I asked, shocked.

"Why won't you marry me?" he asked, slower.

"You do realize I'm eighteen, right?" I asked.

"And I'm one hundred and ten. I think it's about time I settled down." He said, and I leaned my head on his chest.

" 'Ow would I explain zis to my mozzer. People would zink I was pregnant or somezing." I said, and he rolled his eyes.

"You're being overdramatic. Also do you care what people think?" he said, and I just stared at his face.

"Why do you want to get married so much?" I asked, and he smiled.

"Because it's how I was raised." He said, and I leaned my head on his chest. "It's the way I would've done it back in my time. We would've gone on chaperoned walks and drank lemonade on the porch and maybe I would've stolen a kiss from you." He said, and I pictured it having an Anne of Green Gables flashback.

"Sounds like an old movie." I said, and he nodded.

"That was what it was like." He said, and I nodded at him.

"So you want to get married because it's how you were raised?" I asked.

"Well, I do love you and I thought that was a good enough reason as well." He said, and I rolled his eyes.

"Alright, but I was raised being told getting married before thirty is wrong." I said, and he just looked at me.

"You are not going to sway me on this." He said, and my eyes narrowed. I groaned and laid my head on my arms as he chuckled.

Ok, so this chapter is dedicated to my sister (Alexriderlover) since I threw a book and it accidentally hit her and now she is mad at me and I told her I would dedicate a chapter to her. I was sort of getting writers block towards the end so sorry if it sucks. Please review!
