Chapter 4: Flashbacks

�

Shayla’s POV

�

I decided to wait in my room until Carlisle gets back from his shift. Everyone was in their rooms so I could talk to him privately. Well, as privately as you could with a mind-reader in the house.

�

Luckily for me though, Edward was still at Bella’s place.

�

I got up out of my room and wandered to the staircase, leaning against the top rail as I waited. I closed my eyes and inhaled, breathing in the familiar scent of my family.

�

“Shay?” A voice asked from behind me. It was Rosalie.

�

I turned around to find her standing just behind me; her hands on her hips, an anxious expression on her face. But I didn’t need to be worrying about her now; I was too busy fretting on how I’m going to explain everything to Dad.

�

“’Sup, Rose,” I muttered and turned back around to peer around the bottom of the stairs. Carlisle would’ve left the hospital by now, I hoped.

�

She sighed impatiently and moved to be beside me, her hand on my shoulder.

�

“You’re waiting for Carlisle, aren’t you?” she asked.

�

I shrugged. “You don’t need to be a mind-reader to know that. Or a fortune-teller.” I heard Alice make an annoyed noise from her room and I smirked at myself.

�

Rose smiled too. “What are you going to tell him?”

�

“No idea.” I leaned my forehead against my hands, my elbows resting on the banister. “A little help maybe? Oh right, I haven’t told you–” She cut me off though before I can continue though.

�

“Emmett told me, even though he shouldn’t of. But I don’t think I can really help you in this situation.”

�

I sighed and lifted my head off my hands. “This…” I growled. “Totally sucks!” My chest rumbled with another growl, an inhuman one this time though, as I turned around and started to stalk into my room. “I’ll be in my room.”

�

I don’t know why I’m feeling pissed off but whatever the reason is, it made me slam the door of my room. �

�

Rosalie’s POV

�

I watched Shayla slam the door with unnecessary brutal force and feel a ripple of anger course through me. Honestly, it wasn’t my fault that I couldn’t help. I didn’t even get to hear the story from her.

�

I remember the first time I met Shayla– and she has irritated me since that day. Not in the insanely mean way, but she’s just somewhat annoying.

�

''I gave a gasp of shock as Emmett ran through the back door of the house, not even bothering to open it. “Emmett, what are you doing?”''

�

''“Where’s Carlisle?” he grunted, ignoring my question. “I need him!”''

�

''That’s when I saw what he was concerned about. A mangled and bloodied body was in his arms, her head hanging limply to the side.''

�

''Emmett placed her as gently as he could on the coach before roaring out to our father. “CARLISLE!”''

�

“Emmett, what’s going–''”I started to say but he shot me a look. Then, Carlisle was at his side in an instant.''

�

“Emmett, what’s wrong?” he asked.

�

''“She was mauled by a mountain lion in the forest. Save her, please save her!” ''

�

''“What’s going on?” Alice asked quietly. She was at my side soon followed by Esme, Edward and Jasper.''

�

''“You saved me Carlisle when I was mauled,” Emmett growled to his creator. “Now, I’m asking you to save her.” I have never seen him act or look so serious.''

�

Carlisle face remained calm as he made his decision.

�

''“Carlisle…” Alice whispered. “I have foreseen her becoming one of us and becoming a sister to me. Do it… for me.”''

�

''There is a brief silence but then Carlisle answered. “Alright,” he said and he turned to Esme. “Esme, get a wet towel. Jasper, Rosalie, Alice, Emmett, Edward, outside, now.”''

�

''Alice took Jasper by the hand and they flit outside followed by Edward. Esme returned with a wet towel and handed it to Carlisle who wiped the blood off the girl. I take Emmett's hand and go to move outside but he won’t budge.''

�

''“No,” he growled. “I’m staying right here. Rose, get outta here.”''

�

''“But…” I started to say. Why was he so determined to be at her side when he had me?''

�

“Now,” a voice ordered but it was Esme this time.

�

''I give a huff and stomped outside. I turned around to see Esme hold the wet towel to the girl’s head, Emmett holding her wrists down and Carlisle leaning in towards her neck. I ran up into the forest where my siblings are but I am not fast enough to avoid hearing the girl’s frantic screams.''

�

''Two days later, she isn’t any better. She is tough though. She holds her tongue and refuses to scream and instead shudders and haemorrhages worse then anyone I’ve ever seen. It’s almost like she doesn’t want to be weak and show the pain.''

�

''“It’s almost finished,” Carlisle said as she began to shudder violently. “Someone will need to take her out into the woods.”''

�

''“I’ll take her,” Alice offered. “Jasper will come with me.”''

�

''“No. I’ll do it,” Emmett growled.''

�

''“Emmett, you’ve done enough,” Esme said. “Jasper, Alice, take her now.”''

�

Jasper lifted the girl in his arms and then he and Alice run out of the house just as the girl gave loud, ear-splitting scream. �

Jasper’s POV

�

I could feel resentment, jealousy and most oddly of all, concern, coming from Rosalie. I gave a snort and turned to Alice who was pouring over school textbooks until I snorted. She looked up in concern. “What?”

�

“Rose is being Rose,” I said thoughtfully. “Do you think I could influence her to be just a tad nicer?”

�

“Don’t be mean,” she scowled and playfully punched me in the jaw. Though playful, she still managed to dislocate it. I pulled it back in place with a crack and pushed her off the couch.

�

“Hey!” she frowned as she hopped back up. I chuckled and kissed her on the cheek.

Her golden eyes blazed with pretend f
