chapter forty-seven

"hey dad" she greeted after coming downstairs, she kissed her father's cheek before sitting across from him and poured herself a cup of coffee.

"i see, you've been busy" elijah stated as he ate his breakfast.

"this red head bit-"

elijah looked at her with a raised eyebrow making her cough.

"i mean, this red head vampire is creating a ruckus involving us" she sighed leaning her back by her chair and sighed while running her hand through her hair, smoothing out the curls.

"don't overwork yourself, i like bella and i know she's good but i don't want to lose my daughter while saving her" elijah said to her, placing down his utensils and sipped his own coffee.

she nodded as a response to ease her father's concern, "i'll keep myself safe dad, don't worry. plus demons are quite hard to kill" she winked.

"if they don't know the real weapon to kill a demon" he winked and stood up, grabbing his plate in the process.

"careful sweetie, i don't want to burn the whole forks if i heard you died in the arms of a vampire" he said, kissing her forehead before grabbing his coat.

"i know, i know. keep safe dad and stay alert of her"

"she should stay alert, she can't lay a hand on me. she's too weak" he smirked at her before walking out the door.

"and he wonders where i got my cockiness from" she sipped on her mug as she stared outside.

"i need you to be on bella duty today" edward told the hybrid as they got ready for the day while madelline laid on jasper's thighs.

"WHAT?" she exclaimed, sitting up too quickly making her head pound, "fuck"

jasper quickly helped her sit up straight and eased her pain, "don't sit up too quick darling" he said while holding out a glass of water to her.

she muttered a soft thanks before gulping down her drink.

"okay, repeat what you just said" madelline demanded, crossing her legs with one another as she looked at edward.

"i need you to be on bella duty" edward repeated his words as he eyed the girl carefully, not wanting his head to be ripped off.

"fuck, you for real?" she whined looking at his eyes to see if he was joking. he only nodded as a response making her groan and kick her feet wildly against the air as a protest.

jasper only looked at her with amusement in his eyes, seeing at how she disagreed with edward's words but couldn't go against it seeing bella's a friend to her.

"okay fine" she huffed as soon as she calmed down.

"where we heading?" she continued.

"i'm taking her to jacob's, i don't know what will happen until then"

"oh la la" she only said before leaning her head back to jasper's shoulder while his arm automatically wrapped itself around madelline's.

edward soon left them to prepare the car and call bella, the two sat in silence seeing as the rest of the family hunted or trained themselves. madelline wanted to train yet she was placed to stay with bella, she doesn't want to complain but she wanted to harness her skills and control her powers more. she wrapped an arm around jasper's torso, nuzzling her head against his neck.

"are you okay?" he asked in worry.

"yeah, yeah i'm okay" she answered in a muffled voice as her head is stilled in his neck.
