'Safe' Is Not A Word In My Vocabulary

Centhua's POV

Bella really knew how to make my blood boil.

Did she have to tell me what to do? I mean seriously? What is that! She doesnt want me to hurt Jacob, Ok I can understand that, but how can she expect me to be near him and not hurt him. Im not letting him die just so I can make out with him for a while. And what does she mean he can handle himself?

What, against the Cross Fire? Against vampires? My head started spinning as I processed the information.

Sam was an Alpha.

The big guys from Emily's house were most likely his pack...Jacob was one of the big guys from Emily's house...Jacob could handle himself against vampires.

Jacob was a werewolf.

I felt my face pale and suddenly I was having trouble standing up. Well Damn.

The whole avoiding him option just got blown out the window.

He would know about imprinting, and vampires. He probably knew who the Cullens are too.

Hell, he might even know who I was. Not to mention the fact that Im spending so much time with Claire.

Yep. Im screwed.

There was know way I could avoid him now... And that really shouldn't sound like good news... But I still have to try, there is no way Im dragging him down with me. Bella on the other hand...it was only fair that she got hers.

Jacob's POV

I couldnt avoid the guys forever but I was right not to be there when Quil spilled the beans. I decided before I went over to Emily's that night just to act like nothing happened, even though I know the guys aren't gonna let me hear the end of this.

I sighed as I jogged towards the porch.

I went in without knocking and Paul and Jared weren't there.

Quil, Embry, Seth, and Leah were. They all had smug smiles on, except for Leah who glared at me. I rolled my eyes and collapsed on the couch.

"Heard you imprinted" Seth said grinning.

I shrugged with one shoulder and said "Yep." popping the p.They seemed kind of surprised that Id admitted it. I put my feet up and closed my eyes hoping to catch some zzz's...

"Hey there's lover boy!" I heard Paul cheer as he and Jared came in with Sam. Sam looked at me but went over to Emily.

My mouth twitched in a smile but I didnt open my eyes. "Jealous Paul?" Quil asked, I opened my eyes to see him raising an eyebrow.

Paul smirked "Nope. I aint got notin to be jealous about, Jakey aint gonna get some either way."

I smirked too "Keep telling yourself that." I winked and his jaw dropped. Everyone else seemed surprised too.

I know I was.

"Dinner's Ready!" Emily called, saving me.

The conversation ended abruptly as we all bombarded the food.

Centhua's POV

As much as I wanted to be mad at Bella, I couldnt for long. And although I really wanted to teach her to mind her own business, I knew it was my fault for telling her. So guess where I was now. Yep.

I was at Bella's house, AGAIN! Hoping to end this before it starts.

"Bella! Open Up!" I said banging on the door. She opened it and I was about to speak when suddenly she hugged me hard. "Oh god Cent Im sorry! I didnt mean to tell you what to do! I was just worried. And god was that stupid! Please Please Please forgive me!" I quiet her down and said "It's okay Bells, your forgiven, Im sorry too."

She smiled "Thanks." that reminds me...

"Um Bella" I said and she looked at me curiously. "Is um..Jacob a werewolf?" her face fell, "Oh, you figured it out huh?" I nodded and she sighed "Yeah, Jake's been a wolf for a while now." I nodded and hugged her "Thanks Bells" she smiled faintly and I turned to leave.

"where you going?" she asked. I turned and grinned "Im going to go call Claire, if Im lucky maybe Jake'll be there." I winked and she giggled. "Bye Bells!" I called leaving as Charlie pulled up.

"Bye Cent!" she called and I waved to Charlie as I walked to my motorcycle. He grinned.

He always liked me more than Edward. Despite the bike, he thought I was an angel.

Shows how great he is at judging people.

Emily's POV (My story my POV's!)

I was debating whether or not to call Centhua. I knew Sam didnt like her very much but I needed someone to watch Claire tomorrow. Quil would have happily done it but he had patrol that night.

The phone rang and I jumped; Id been standing right next to it while I thought. I answered it.

"Hello?" I said and I heard a familiar laugh.

"Hi Emily" Centhua said and I smiled.

"Looking for Claire" I asked and she laughed again.

"Yes, unless you want to ask me something." she said and I smiled.

"Your physic," I murmured and then added "Can Claire stay with you tommorow? I've got errands to run and Sam's busy also."

Her answer was faster than I'd have thought.

"Sure, Id love too" I smiled as she gave me her adress and a detailed desciption of where to drop off Claire.

We exchanged a few more words and then I gave the phone to Claire, who must've known who I was talking to cause she was next to me bouncing up and down and smiling.

Centhua's POV

Sure.

Sam was busy running around as a giant wolf.

I didnt say so out loud and I talked to Claire for over a half an hour until saying goodbye.

"S'ya tomorrow Claire" I said and she giggled "Bye WaWa!" I smiled and hung up.

XxX

Emily dropped Claire off the next day and she didn’t even want to say goodbye.

I laughed at her eagerness “C’mon Claire say bye to your auntie now.” She grinned and let go off my leg so she could wave to Emily with one hand. “Bye auntie Emi!” she said sweetly and Emily smiled pecking her forehead. “If you need me call me,” she said before taking off.

I turned and grinned at Claire. “C’mon let’s get inside” I said and she smiled showing her two front teeth.

Needless to say, we had fun.

We played Candy land and I let her win, we sang and danced a little, watched movies she brought (I am so in love with Elmo) and now were making brownies.

I laughed when she got icing on her nose and tried to lick it off. I gave her a napkin and she giggled.

I was having so much fun I jumped when the door rang. “Auntie’s here” I sang and she pouted, crossing her tiny arms over her chest. I laughed and went to get the door while she ate her brownie.

So I was surprised when I opened it to see. Quil and…Jacob?

Jacob’s POV

I have no idea why Quil dragged me with him to pick up Claire. Emily asked him to get her from her babysitter’s house and Quil jumps up and volunteers for me to come too. Just because he has to spend his imprint days playing nanny doesn’t mean I have to suffer too…

We pulled up to a nice cabin looking house and Quil grinned. I rolled my eyes and got out.

Then the scent hit me.

The sweet scent of berries, roses and vanilla. It mixed with the scent of brownies and I resisted the urge to lick my lips.

I shot Quil a dirty look. He just smirked.

Manipulative little….

He rang the bell and I could hear my imprint laugh inside. I heard her light footsteps dance to the door before opening it.

She blinked in surprise when she saw us but then smiled. “Let me guess, Emily sent you?” she asked and Quil grinned. “Yep” she smiled and opened the door wider so we could come in from the rain, “Claire! Quil’s here!” she called and Claire came around the corner, smiling huge.

She had icing all over her face.

Quil opened his arms at the exact moment she jumped into them. “Qwil!” she giggled excitedly and he laughed “Hey Claire-Bear” he said and I rolled my eyes. Cent danced to the kitchen and Quil elbowed me.

He nodded his head in that direction and I stuck my tongue at him. Still, I followed her out.

She was sitting on the counter she had a plate in her hands with brownies on it. There was another on the table with a few bites taken out that Claire must’ve eaten. She grinned at me and bit a brownie. “Want some?” she asked and she nodded to a huge pan of the treats that was resting on the counter.

“Sure” I replied walking over and helping myself to one of the pre-cut slices. She grinned and Quil came in with Claire on his hip. He greedily eyed the pan on the counter and Cent laughed. “Go ahead” she said and he put Claire down and got some.

Claire smiled proudly “I got to do da icnin” she said and Quil ate the whole thing in one bite. He grinned and we all laughed.

“Pig” I muttered and he stuck his brownie covered tongue at me.

“Eeeww!” Claire squealed smacking him with her tiny fist. Cent laughed and I committed the sound to memory.

“You have teeth dude, try using em.” Cent said and Quil took another piece and bit it. She smirked and I laughed “You have him trained so well.” I say and her smirk turned into a smile.

“Wawa!” Claire sings, getting her attention, she looks away and Im mad at her for ruining the moment.

“Yeah?” she asks and Claire pouts “When will you come play at my house?” she whines and Cent half-smiled “Ask your auntie that question” her eyes flash to me for a quick second and then go back to Claire.

I have to grin.

“So do you guys always run errands for Emily?” she asks me and Quil and we shrug simultaneously “Nah,” I reply then add “She usually has Quil do it, then he drags me along” he rolls his eyes.

“Not like you had anything better to do” he said and I shrug before leaning against the counter.

The sad thing was that I did, I had better things to do, but I’d really rather be with Cent.

Centhua’s POV

Quil imprinted on Claire.

Wow it took me a while to realize that.

Im usually much more observant but I guess Jake’s a bigger distraction then I gave him credit for…

That devoting motherly look Quil gives Claire should’ve been a dead give away from day one. I thought about this while Quil and Jake teased each other.

Imprinting has really thrown me off my game, which only means Im going to have to pay that much more attention if I want to protect Claire, especially now that she’s destined to be a werewolf’s soul mate.

And I didn’t know if the letter meant they were going to attack Claire and leave, not caring if she died or not or if it meant they were going to make sure to kill her and then move onto the gold snake target.

I really need to figure out who that is.
