Emily’s Story_34

No Pov.

     The Cullen children moved swiftly through the woods, making sure not to be heard. Rosalie had been left behind to ‘guard’ Emily, in other words to make sure that she didn’t find out where the rest were heading off to. “Edward, I’m not sure this is the best idea.” Bella told him once more. Edward looked at her and sighed.
     “It’s the best one so far,” he said. Bella nodded, not looking so happy but stayed quite.
     They stopped at the edge of their territory; a boundary line had been formed days ago with Carlisle and the wolf pack leader, Sam, for now. The Quitlette knew they’d keep their word, but it was merely out of habit to do so. They waited as two wolves approached them, followed by Seth in human form. “Hey guys,” he said happily. Jasper walked up to him, calming the mood.
     “Seth, we need too speak to Matthew.” Seth looked at them, trying to figure out why so many had come.
     “Um, sure. He’s back at the house,” Seth said, uncertainly waving to them to follow.
     “Shouldn’t he be on patrol like the rest of you?” Bella asked. Seth shrugged.
     “I don’t make the schedule, I just follow it.”
Seth led them to the house, both wolves having gone back to their patrol. “Hey Matthew,” Seth called as he walked in. “You’ve got visitors.” Matthew walked down the steps, looking surprised to see who it was.
     “Oh. Hi.” He said, looking at them with the same uncertainty that Seth had.
     “Don’t worry we’re just here to talk.” Jasper assured them.
     “I believe you,” Matthew told him, “But still, Emmett is kind of creepy looking right now.” Jasper looked to see what he meant. Emmett had this predator look on his face, the one he got when he got protective.
     “Emmett, wait outside.” Jasper said, putting his hand on Matthew’s shoulder. Emmett growled but did so anyway. “So…about our talk,” he continued moving towards the kitchen.
