The New Pack in Town - 01/18/05

[hound]

Okay Eddie, here we go...

Jack came to a slow rumbling stop, rolling her eyes as Edward pulled some stupid tricks with his stupid Volvo. Cutting the engine close to his car, she took off her helmet smiling.

"Oh yeah right. I can kick your ass anyday." She laughed as she watched her cousin come driving up and parking. She was talking fast, and Jack saw that she was on her cell phone. Ugh. When the door opened she heard her father's angry voice. Rolling her eyes, she turned away and watched Edward open the door Alice and watched Amanda get out of the car. "I'd love to get into my Camaro and race you. My baby boy would smoke your pretty, little Volvo."

Looking back at Maci, she glared and Maci tilted her head in a don't mess with me way. Rolling her eyes, she turned back to Edward and his sisters.

"So, back to buisness." Jack said grudgingly, wanting to stay and talk of cars and have fun rather than make peace with people who already seemed okay with them being there.

[amanda]

Amanda wasn't far behind she figured keeping up was a good idea, once she was parked she turned off the ignition then unbuckled her seat belt she pulled her hair back into a messy bun then climbed out of the car placing a strand of hair behind her ear she sighed as she looked up at the big house then locked her car just to be safe. She was still very unsure she was a good idea because jack's memories were almost torture, she was starting to get a headache which was never a very good thing cause well she wasn't a pleasant person when she got a headache or well she was she just became very distant only because she chose to be mostly.

[alicecullen]

Alice stepped lightly out of the car as Edward opened it for her. She frowned slighlty at the headache she was developing and swayed a little as she got out of the car, okay that was a little odd. She shook it off and looked to Edward, well at least he and Jack seemed to be getting on better, she looked to Jack and smiled, maybe today wouldnt be as bad as she first thought it would be. She grabbed her school bag and headed up to the front door. She wondered if her vision had been right and if it had already happened.

She hesitated for a moment and took her key out and opened the door sticking her head round and calling to see if anyone was home. 'Hello?' She stepped in leaving the door open for the others as she sniffed around for fresh scents of her family. She really hoped she was right, of course if she was it wouldnt help Edwards mood any...

[jasper]

Jasper came running down the stairs when he heard alice open the door he only knew it was her because he could pick up her scent a mile away, he frowned when he saw her expression he didn't know what to say but he spoke anyways. '' Miss me my sweet?'' He asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissed the top of her head he hadn't been back very long but at the same time he knew Alice needed him so while he wasn't due back for another few hours he came back early. Jasper looked at Edward then the two strangers one smelling so fowl he felt like he'd throw up the other seeming to have a connection with edward some how, he was well he was confused.

[emmett]

Emmett lay on his bed, bored as all hell, tossing a baseball up and down, trying not to hit the ceiling. He had only been home for a short time, he knew Jasper was there, but the both of them were just hanging around, doing absolutely nothing. Alice and Edward on the other hand, had gone to school, and Emmett had said good riddance. Rosalie, his angel, he hadn't seen in an hour or so. When he heard the door open downstairs and Alice saying hello, he figured he might as well go down and say hi.

Rising and going down the stairs quickly, he was hit by a stench. "Woah! Who brought the wet dog home?" He asked as he came up behind Jasper and Alice. He could see out the door, Edward and a young woman, who she was he didn't know, and two other chicks. The cause of the stench.

[alicecullen]

Alice beamed when she saw Jasper coming down the stairs, she skipped lightly to him and wrapped her slender arms around his neck as she looked into his eyes lovingly. 'Of course' She looked up to Emmett as he came down and had to stop herself from giggling at his comment. 'We have brought a couple of guests.... She parted from Jasper and started introducing everyone, she was smiling and giggling like a little school girl, she was happy to have the family back. 'This is Jack and Maci... and this is Amanda.... She turned round and smiled to all of them as she introduced her family 'This is Emmett and Jasper...' She returned to Jaspers side and rested her head on his arm, being too short to reach his shoulder.

She was so rolled up in the moment she had forgotten her headache, she was sure there was going to be a lot of catching up to do, and a lot of talk. She hoped though that Carlisle was back too, she was starting to consider talking to him. She quickly pushed the thought from her mind, she didnt want Edward knowing anything, she felt stupid over it anyway.

[marmarizzle]

Rosalie had been playing the fancy piano. Since Edward wasn't there when she started to play it, she could freely play the piano until he actually did return back. She had been playing a piece she had memorized long before, letting her fingers gracefully run across the keys. She came to abrupt stop when she heard the door open, letting in foul scents into the household. "What in the world..." She trailed off. She gracefully got up from the piano, shutting the case over the keys carefully. She started to walk to the living room. As she did so, she noticed familar scents that were defined as her family, Alice, Jasper, Edward and her true love, Emmett. Her mood lifted when she recognized Emmett's scent. But to her dismay, there were a few scents she did not recognize, one making her slightly nauseous.

As she ascended from the stairs, she saw the people there. "Oh. Who brought in that foul smell?" She wrinkled her nose as the scent became stronger, she was getting closer to it. She walked over to Emmett when she reached the bottom of the stairs. She turned his face so she could kiss him on the lips lightly. She pulled away after a brief moment and then turned to face the new people. She came down too late to hear the names and share the introductions. Not like it mattered. She would eventually figure out their names sooner or later.

[hound]

Jack followed Alice into the house, and was quite shocked at how beautiful it was. Maci followed right behind her, crinkling her nose as she walked into the house and smelt the sickly, sweet smell of vampire. Jack on the other hand had walked in and was smiling at Alice's welcoming party. There was something between her and the southern looking young man who had walked up to her.

When Jack heard a loud voice ask who brought the wet dog home, she rolled her eyes and looked up the stairs at a good looking guy, who was buff and probably though of himself as a cool guy that could kick anybodies ass, oh, we would see about that. But that wasn't why they were there, yet Jack was about ready to drop that whole subject and just talk to these five, oops six. A beautiful young woman walked into the room, and Jack could swear that she was a super model or something. When Alice began introducing them to the family, she smiled cockily at all of them.

"Hey Jack," Maci whispered quickly, right by her ear. Jack turned her eyes to her with a questioning look on her face. "Uh, uncle Larry wants to talk to you, immediately..." She smiled as innocently as she could as Jack's cellphone began to buzz in her pocket. Grinding her teeth, Jack took the EnV 2 out of her pocket and answered it.

"What?" She knew that the others could all hear, it was a fact she had learned to live with, with her family and werewolves. "If those creatures don't tear you apart I'm going to!" He snarled softly as he spoke to his daughter. "You knew that I was going to go talk to the coven that lived here but as usual you have to take matters into your own hands!" By the end, her father was yelling and Jack was laughing.

"First of all Dad, get used to the fact that this is the 21st century and nothing is segregated any longer," She started with this comment a lot. She was trying to get her dad out of being racist, against everyone. "Second, they go to my school and what was I supposed to do? We smelt each other out immediately. Get used to the fact that I'm growing up and I can deal with these things better than you can." Click. She hung up first, turning back around to the others with an annoyed look on her face. She looked at Maci, 'I'm so going to kick you ass later.' It was all over her face and Maci just stood there glaring back.

Jack could feel the muscles in her shoulder were tight and her hands clenched. She wasn't your puny girl, she had muscles from swimming on the swim team and on the water polo team back in Santee, but she also had done mixed martial arts and some other fighting. That added onto the fact that she wasn't human, she looked pretty good and strong for a girl.

"At least I don't look like an albino grizzly." Jack snapped at the tall young man that had come down the stairs. She was pissed at her cousin, but knew she was going to have to deal with it when she got home, so she was going to forget about it know. But it pissed her off so bad! She couldn't stand it! Ugh.

[amanda]

Amanda waved haphazardly as she entered the house she had to admit it looked just as beautiful on the inside as it did on the outside, she noticed two young man standing in front of her but edward hadn't come inside yet. She'd caught all there names, what confused her more then the memories she got from Jack were the ones she saw in the blond's head she wasn't trying to intrude it just happened to be rather easy to ready someone's memories when they were so clear and crisp. '' It's Nice to meet All of you.'' Mandy said as she smiled a little then looked at Alice not really sure if she was going to try, explain how she knew the connection she had with Edward but she had to admit one thing the other two girls made her sick.

[marmarizzle]

Rosalie looked at the girls. She examined them carefully. They were all fairly pretty, but none could match her extravagent beauty. Now that she was closer, she could decipher whose smell was whose. Wolves, blech. she thought, disgusted. The smell of wolves were wretched to vampires.

She saw the other girl give the girl, 'Jack', a cell phone, and she heard the small conversation that went along with it. She raised an eyebrow slightly at the reaction the other girl got from Jack. Rosalie heard the conversation as if it was occuring with the two people were right in front of her. She rolled her eyes at the man's warning and threat to Jack. She shook her head slightly as well. She smirked at the response about the 21st century. As Jack went on with the conversion, Rosalie could tell that they were talking about the Cullen family, and that her father was just harsh.

"At least I don't look like an albino grizzly." Jack snapped. Every previous postive feeling directed towards Jack was immediately replaced with negative ones. Rosalie's facial expression immediately turned into a harsh, bitter, angry glare. To get on Rosalie's good side, the first step was not to insult Emmett. That was just a major wrong on her part.

[emmett]

Emmett watched the muscled brunette, thinking of different ways to get some kind of challenge off of her. It would be quite entertaining to fight someone who didn't know what his next move would be or just made you feel utterly willing to kill yourself. He walked over to Rosalie though, throwing an arm over her shoulder lazily, kissing her hair as he stood there. Hmm, his angel. She always smelled so good to him, and fit perfectly into his side. He had seen her tense at the girl, Jacks, comment.

Laughing easily he smiled. "You willing to do something about that? I mean, if I'm an albino grizzly, then what are you? A pissed off cat?" He could imagine this girl puffed up with fur, a hiss coming through her teeth. He laughed as the image filled his mind, but he knew better. She was something, what animal she was he hadn't quite figured out yet, but she was something.

Looking over at his 'siblings' he smiled. "So where the hell did you find these two? Don't tell me you wanted a play thing Edward, you could do better." Emmett laughed at the thought, it was different, but so was Edward.

[carlisle]

After he and Angel had spoken for a while, Carlisle had left her to settle in, heading back to his study and the medical journal he had been perusing earlier. Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett had returned home at different intervals, leaving the isle to their mother. The thought of Esme all alone worried Carlisle, and he missed his mate greatly. He knew, though, that she could take care of herself, and would be home as soon as she was ready.

It was a lazy afternoon, all the children busying themselves. Notes floated gracefully through the house as Rosalie sat at the piano playing something exquisite. Carlisle hated the fact that she wouldn't play when her brother was around. She might not be as practiced as he, but she definitely had talent, and he enjoyed hearing her play. She had a different style than Edward, something unique from anything else he had heard in all the centuries he had been in existence.

Carlisle heard the front door open and Alice's voice call into the house. The corners of his well form lips turned upward at the sound. As was to be expected, Jasper wasn't far behind, and before the good doctor could bring himself to stand he heard their joyful reunion. From the noise that wafted up the stairs, it seemed as though quite a few people had decided to visit the Cullen household. As long as they didn't bring trouble they were more than welcome. Especially anyone that Alice had brought with her. Making his way down the stairs to the entryway Carlisle took in the three new faces in the small crowd. While it smelt as if Edward was home, his face was not with the others.

It also smelled like the guests were a vampire and something similar to the La Push clan, although not quite the same. The scent was less foul than the wolves, leaning more toward a spicy flavor. Things seemed out of sorts, and taking note of the hectic atmosphere Carlisle smiled welcomingly to the group and made his way toward Jasper's side. Touching his son's shoulder softly Carlisle whispered into Jasper's ear. “Perhaps you could calm things a little.” He suggested before stepping further into the room. “Emmet,” Carlisle scolded teasingly, at his normal volume “let's be kind to our guests.”

Turning his attention to the new comers Carlisle gestured toward the sitting room, “I think we'll be more comfortable in the living room. The hallway doesn't have enough space for such a group” His tone was light and welcoming, his smile soft as he spoke, trying to ignore the conversation one of the young women was having on her cell phone. After all, it was private conversation, even if his altered senses allowed him to hear it. Hard as he tried, though. He was unable to block the conversation out completely, and he heard bits and pieces. His eyebrows rose involuntarily as he listened. First Angel's arrival and now this. What an interesting afternoon this had become.

At Jack's returned insult, Carlisle stiffened, not from the fact that he was insulted but because he knew how his Rose would react. Ever since saving Emmett she tended to be a bit overprotective and posessive of him. In her eyes he was hers and if someone insulted or hurt Emmett they were doing the same to Rosalie. Emmett saved the moment, however, shooting off a comment in return causing Carlisle to laugh softly, a broad grin spreading across his face. ”That's enough of that.” he declared, shaking his head.

As the group filed into the other room, where Carlisle was sure Alice could take up the duties as hostess, Carlisle turned his attention to the young woman who had been on the phone. “May I speak to you for a moment?” He inquired, wishing to discuss the things he had overheard privately.

ooc: I dunno if you wanna move that into another new thread or not Jack. She can always refuse, of course.

[hound]

Jack glared at Emmett, and snarled. Cat?! That was the biggest insult she had ever heard. Ugh! She was a coyote, and proud of it. Her slender body that was faster than most moon called, and almost as fast as the vampires she had known in Santee. But a cat!? That just ticked her off.

”That's enough of that.” Jack jumped at the voice. Eyeing an older man, only in his twenties, who was gorgeous. Hmm, guess all of the guys have the good look about him. Egh. Yet, she nodded and headed into the living room with the others.

When Carlisle came up to her and asked if she would talk with him privately, she nodded, knowing she needed to get this done with, no matter what she felt. She liked this big group of vampires. They were easy going, no matter how perfect or pain in the ass people they were.

{{Carlisle, do you want me to start it or you?}}

[alicecullen]

Alice beamed as she saw Carlisle coming down the stairs, with him back she was sure they could get everything sorted out. Him having known Edwards past better than he might be able to work out the puzzle that was Amanda... Then of course there was a private matter to attend to, Alice had considered talking to Jasper about it, but she knew he would only worry and she didnt want that. She worried enough around him, she knew going to school was still testing for him. His control was not as refined as the rest of the family and she knew that their constant worry sometimes got on his nerves.

Alice bit her lip as insults started getting flung around, she squeezed Jasper a little and heared Carlisle whisper to him. She smiled slightly, Jaspers gift truely was a god send at times and he always managed to calm the tensest of moments. She knew that if they didnt intervene Rosalie would probably end up ripping their guests to pieces, the whole family knew that upsetting Rosalie was a sure way to a faster death, well if you could die in theory.

She took Jaspers hand and took the lead to take everyone into the living room. She looked around and frowned slightly not seeing Edward among them. Obvsiously he was sulking over something again. Alice sighed and her eyes saddened a little. Edward was her favourite borther, obviously Jasper didnt count, he was her mate. Non the less she lead everyone in and took Amandas hand leading her in with them. If Edward wanted to sulk that was up to him but it wasnt Amandas fault... She didnt know what a moody git her brother could be at times.

Though she stopped after a moment as she got a flash in her mind, she winced as a pain shot through her head... Okay that was not right. She turned quickly skipping to Emmett and whispered in his ear... Someone had to go after Edward...

[hound]

Emmett watched Alice skip over to him. When she leaned up and whispered in his ear, telling to go after Edward, he smiled and nodded, leaving the room.

{{I know! It's lame...}}
