Four
"Violet meet Harry" I walked into the kitchen, Rebecca tells me how mom figured out we had in her words "been drugging her" but she only blames Rebecca. Rebecca says it was my idea but mom doesn't believe her "he was friends with your dad"
"Hi" we shake hands
"I'm sorry to hear about your uncle" he tells me "and finding out about your dad, I can't imagine the pain your going through" nodding my head, I pour myself some juice.
"Bear attacks?" I ask seeing the reports
Nodding his head "Your not in California, though where this bear is is a mystery" looking at me "when you were little Harry here would make fish fry that your mom always let you eat before"
"The same fish fry Uncle Paul had shipped?" I ask, he nods his head "it's amazing fish fry"
"Thank you" he smiles "your uncle told me how he taught you how to make it?"
Nodding my head "I hope you don't mind"
Shaking his head "I don't"
The door opens and slams before Bella runs in yelling "Dad!" We see Bella all disheveled "Dad! I saw them!"
"What's the matter?" He asks confused, we all are
"In the woods" shaking her head "their not bears"
He looks enraged "The woods? Bella what the hell were you doing out in the woods?"
"Their wolves" she repeats "I mean huge wolves"
"Aren't all wolves huge?" I ask
Shaking her head "No, these wolves are like massive!" She motions with her hand "there were a pack of them, five of them at least"
"Are you sure about that Bella?" Harry asks
Nodding her head "I just saw them, they didn't see me but...they were more focused on something else"
"Wolves?" Charlie asks
Nodding her head "Yeah"
"Alright—Harry" nodding his head, looking at Charlie "round up a few guys? Feel like going hunting?"
"What did they look like?" I ask "so that I can keep an eye out?"
"One was this pure black wolf" she tells us each wolf's color of fur "and the last was this russet colored one"
Bella gasps after that "I should go to the station" Charlie doesn't look at her
Nodding her head "Yeah, you should"
I go after Uncle Charlie as he leaves "Uncle Charlie?" He looks my way "you might want to think about getting Bella some professional help—like how me, Rebecca are with our mom. How Uncle Paul did"
He stares at me "You think it's that bad?"
Nodding my head "She's doing adrenaline rushes" her laptop was open and I read her emails to an Alice, talks about missing the Cullens and vampires and a bunch of other nonsense "to remember some guy named Edward"
"Her ex" he tells me
"She's building motorcycles" he looks enraged at that "seems she wants to go cliff diving out in La Push at this high peak or something"
He sighs rubbing his face "I'll call her mom, thank you for telling me this"
"Also" he looks at me "this is a lot but...could you get sole custody of Martin?"
"Why?" He asks
"My mom isn't taking her medication" I tell him "and whenever she's like that she isn't good to be around, it's a reason why Uncle Paul would crush up her medicine and try to do things to keep mom healthy—but with him gone and me too there is only Rebecca and"
"Your mom isn't stable to be around" he finishes "and your sister in guessing can't take over?" Shaking my head no "alright...if it's bad" nodding my head "I'll see what I can do"
"Thank you" he nods his head as I go inside to see Bella go up the stairs.
"Bella?" She looks my way "last night" I think I'm dreaming or something but maybe I'm not given how there was definitely something with mom before I left. So is it possible the supernatural is real? "There was this woman, she was staring at us"
"A woman?" She asks a bit afraid "what did she look like?"
"Red hair, pale skin" I say "I didn't see her eyes"
Shaking her head "Don't worry about it"
~Night~
Laughter fills the room as I see mom with a younger version of myself about three playing in the dark, that the same thing that I saw before walking over "Diana!" The younger me holds my arms out to her "up"
The thing picks me up and the younger me smiles "Mommy? Why can't Diana stay forever?"
"I can" this Diana looks at mom "as long as Sophie doesn't take her meds"
I gasp awake from hearing rocks hit the window, I see Bella also woke up "what's that?" I ask
"I don't know" she looks to the window, turning on the lights we go over and see some shirtless guy yelling for Bella.
"Who is that?" I ask
"Jacob" she tells me
"Same guy whose been ditching you?" Yeah a week ago this guy ghosted her and now he's here? Why? "No, go back to bed whatever he wants can wait for the morning" she goes to argue "it's the middle of the night, so unless fucking is in the plans..."
Shaking her head no, she opens the window looking down at this Jacob "You scared us, what the hell are you doing?"
"Back up" he orders "I'm coming up"
"No" shaking her head "it's the middle of the night, can't we talk in the morning?"
"It has to be now" he says "back up"
She scoffs pulling me away as whoever comes up, we see him come in smiling "Is this your new boyfriend?" I ask
Shaking her head no "What are you doing here?"
"Hey" he smiles
"Delusional" I wave to him "I'm getting Uncle Charlie"
"No" he grabs my arm hard
"Let go" I push him off or try to, his grip is firm and is hurting my arm "let go now!" Pulling away I fall on the bed and we see because I'm wearing a tank top bruises on my arm.
"I'm sorry" he apologized
Shaking my head looking at Bella "Get him out of here Bella"
"I'm sorry" he repeats but to Bella
"For what?" She asks
"I wish I could explain...really" he tries to make excuses "but I can't"
"If you can't explain" I ask "then why are you here?"
He ignored me and smiles at the dream catcher "if you've ever had a secret you couldn't tell anyone, one that wasn't yours to share? Well that is what it's like for me"
"Lights off" I stiffen hearing the voice "I will protect you and your cousin"
"But worse" Jacob continues "you have no idea how tight I'm bound"
"Bella" I wave her over to me "don't listen to him, he's just trying to make an excuse for why he has been a jackass"
"It's not" he growls "you know" he shakes his head "I wish I could explain but the killer is that you already know!"
The lights begin to flicker, the door is banged on and Bella answers with me. The door is opened to nothing, we are confused so I turn off the lights. I gasp seeing that thing behind Jacob all my with Bella, I cover Bella's mouth as we see Jacob look confused.
"Don't ever" his eyes widen turning around seeing the thing before him "hurt Violet again!" He screams as the thing claws his arm and throws him out. We go over to the window to see him on the ground before being thrown into the woods.
The thing comes back up and we walk backwards wide eyed "What" Bella stutters
"Don't worry Violet" she puts her hands on either side of my face, I stare into white eyes and my heart beats so fast "I'll always protect you" wiping my tears "now go to bed, your mother needs me" she soon leaves as Bella turns on the light.
"What" she looks at me "was that?"
"That" I say frozen "I think was Diana"
"Your mom's imaginary friend?!" Screeching
