Faceless Queen 10

“Is someone pulling up to the house?”Emmett asked. Rosalie walked to the window seeing a flat bed truck coming up the driveway carrying what looked to be a mint condition 1930 RILEY 9 Brooklands. Also known as Rosalie’s dream car. If the car wasn’t enough to peek Rosalie’s interest the orange long haired house cat that was laying on the dash of the truck looking out the window was. Seeing the cat Rosalie immediately rushed out of the house keeping at a human pace. Queenie had left randomly 4 days prior without leaving any goodbye or sign of coming home. Rosalie had been distraught the entire time and had even gone after Carlisle and Edward accusing them of hurting her cat. Seeing it now in the cab of the truck that a random human was driving Rosalie was beyond relieved.

“Queenie!”Rosalie called out in excitement. She pulled the door to the truck open scooping the cat up in her arms and holding it tightly.”Where have you been?”

“I have so many questions.”Alice said as she and the rest of the family all came to stand in the driveway.

“Is this your cat ma’am?”The driver asked.

“Yes, it’s my cat. How did she end up with you?”Rosalie asked.

“Well it was the darnedest thing. I was in my office when the cat jumped on my desk and dropped an envelope full of money and a letter with instructions to pick up the car and take it and the cat to this address.”The driver explained.

“Are you saying the cat bought a car?”Fran knew the cat was odd but didn’t think it could buy a car.

The driver shrugged.”The car was sitting in my parking lot. I didn’t see anyone drop it off.”

“What the fuck?”Emmett didn’t understand any of this.

“Oh this belongs to the cat.”The driver handed Rosalie a large leather briefcase.

Rosalie took the briefcase in confusion.“What do you mean it belongs to my cat?”

“The cat dragged it in my office and has been very vocal about it staying with it.”The driver told her.”Now where do you want me to put the car?”

“Does it run?”Rosalie asked.

“I looked the car over and it’s in mint condition. I think all the parts are original but the cat wouldn’t let me look to closely.”The driver said.

“Then you can just put it down anywhere.”Rosalie was very excited to look at the car.

“Sure thing.”The driver hopped out of the cab and went to the back of the truck.

Edward scowled as he watched the man lower the car on the drive.”Are we really supposed to believe that the cat bought a car and had it delivered?”

“You’re a mind reader. Was the guy lying about how he got the car?”Jasper didn’t think the man was lying.

“He could have had his memories altered.”Edward didn’t believe for a second that the cat bought a car and arranged for it to be delivered.

”You are just making excuses because you don’t want to acknowledge that the cat is more than just a regular house cat.”Emmett knew Edward just didn’t want to give the cat any credit.

“Here are your keys ma’am.”The driver held a set of keys out to Rosalie. Once she took them he tipped his hat and made his way back to the truck.

“Well I don’t know about you guys but I’m dying to know what’s in the briefcase.”Alice couldn’t even imagine what kind of adventure the cat had been on.

“I will take the briefcase. As coven leader it is up to me to deal with things like this.”Carlisle knew that he wouldn’t like whatever was in the briefcase and wanted to prevent his children from getting it.

“You heard the driver the briefcase belongs to my cat. That means you aren’t touching it.”Rosalie wouldn’t let Carlisle go anywhere near the briefcase.

“A cat can’t own a briefcase.”Edward told her.

“This cat can now if you excuse me I’m taking my cat, it’s briefcase and going to my room.”Rosalie wasn’t going to open the briefcase in front of anyone until she knew what it contained.

“We don’t know what the briefcase contains. That being the case I need to open it to deal with whatever issues it could bring to our coven.”Carlisle needed to get the briefcase away from Rosalie.

“It’s not happening. If you need me I’ll be in my room.”Rosalie ignored the objections from Carlisle and Edward and made her way into the house, up the stairs and into her room. She wasn’t worried about Carlisle and Edward coming after her because since she had the sword they had been more cautious around her. Then fact that she hadn’t hesitated brandishing it numerous times probably added to that caution. Taking off her sword then sitting on her bed Rosalie set Queenie next to her and opened the briefcase.

“Alright sweetheart let’s see what kind of trouble you have been getting into.”Rosalie reached her hand in the briefcase and pulled out a letter addressed to her, an envelope that felt like it had some keys in it and five folders. Each Folder having a different name on it. There was one for Rosalie, one for Alice, one for Emmett, one for Fran and one for Jasper. Setting the folders and the envelope aside Rosalie unfolded the letter and began to read.

Rose,

I apologize for borrowing your cat for the last few days but I needed it’s help. The help it gave me being setting up new identities for you and your siblings. To go along with those identities I have taken the liberty of setting up bank accounts in each of your names that I put some money into for you all to get started living your lives free of Carlisle. To speed up that process I went ahead and purchased a cabin in Alaska and four hundred acres around it that is close to the Denali’s home. The cabin isn’t anything extravagant but I figured the five of you could remodel it or build a brand new home from scratch. The deed is in your name and the keys to the cabin are in the envelope. The other thing Queenie helped me with was the car. After I learned it was your dream car I searched the world over for it and found one in its original condition that I knew I had to get for you. The car has been kept in storage since it was bought in the 1930’s and only taken out for the occasional drive and regular tune ups. I truly hope you enjoy it.

Let Queenie know if you need anything else,

Isabella

“What in the world have you and your owner been up to?”Rosalie asked the cat. In reply the cat simply blinked at her and then closed its eyes and went back to sleep. Shaking her head at the cat Rosalie grabbed the folder with her name on it. Opening it she found a driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, the deed to the property in Alaska, a debit card with her name on it, a social security card and a bunch paperwork with information on her new bank account. Looking at the driver’s license Rosalie was pleased to find it claimed she was 21. That what make life a lot easier. The picture however confused her. It was definitely her in the picture she just couldn’t remember taking it. She didn’t even know the place it was taken at. The same thing with her passport.

“Where did you get these photos?”Rosalie mumbled to herself. Putting everything but the bank paperwork to the side Rosalie grabbed her computer to see how much Isabella put in her account. Going through the boring process of setting up a new password Rosalie gasped in shock when the amount available showed up on the computer screen. Not believing it she logged out and logged in three more times just to make sure what she was seeing was real.

“Holy shit! Come on Queenie we are going to tell my siblings about this.”Rosalie stood from the bed, slung the sword on her back, grabbed the folders and waited for the cat to jump on her shoulder before she made her way out of her room to the living room where the very people she was looking for were gathered watching tv.”I have news.”

“Is this about the briefcase?”Emmett was dying to know what Queenie had brought back with her.

“It is.”Rosalie confirmed.

“Carlisle come here immediately.”Edward called out knowing his father wouldn’t want to miss whatever Rosalie was going to say.

Carlisle rushed into the room as soon he heard Edward having left the door to his study open so he could hear what was a going on in the house.”What is it?”

“What it is doesn’t concern either you or Edward.”Rosalie told him.

“I am the coven leader everything that goes on in this coven concerns me.”Carlisle wouldn’t be left out of whatever Rosalie was going to say.

”As I know Edward would just take it from their minds I will tell all of you. Isabella has secured us new identities and set up bank accounts for each of us.”Rosalie handed everyone their individual folders.

Emmett looked over all the paperwork and the id’s.”These are better than what Carlisle gets.”

“This birth certificate and social security card actually looks like it was legally done.”Jasper was very impressed with the work.

“According to this Jasper and I are legally married.”Alice was more than pleased with the marriage certificate she found in her folder.

“Emmett and I are as well. My last name is McCarthy now.”Fran was proud to finally be officially married to Emmett.

“I alway thought Alice Whitlock had a ring to it.”Alice said.

“No offense Rosalie but I’m happy to have my name back.”Jasper always hated having to give up his family name.

“None taken.”Rosalie didn’t care what last name Jasper had.

“Now wait just a minute. You can’t use that information. You need to continue being teenagers so that we can blend in and not bring attention to ourselves.”Carlisle couldn’t let his children use the new identities because it would allow them to do things they usually would need to rely on Carlisle to do.

“That’s the thing Carlisle. None of us are teenagers and we will never pretend to be one again.”Alice sure as hell wasn’t going to. Just changing the way she dressed made her feel better now that she didn’t have to pretend to be a child anymore she was never going back.

“You all need to get these delusions out of your head. Isabella is leading you to your destruction and you are too blind to see it.”Edward told them.

“So these bank accounts. How much money did she put in them?”Fran asked ignoring Edward’s comment.

“I don’t know what she gave each of you but she gave me a billion dollars.”Rosalie still couldn’t believe there was that much money in a bank account in her name.

“What the fuck?!!”Emmett couldn’t believe that Isabella would give Rosalie that much.

“Yeah I don’t know either.”Rosalie didn’t know why Isabella gave her so much money.

Jasper pulled out his phone and followed the instructions on the paper that came in the folder. Once he made it to the account balance screen he gasped in shock.”Jesus.”

“How much did you get?”Alice asked as she was logging in to her own account.

“The same as Rosalie.”Jasper couldn’t take his eyes off the screen.

“Me too.”Fran told her.

“Oh man I’m going buy a yacht.”Emmett was going to buy the biggest one he could find.

“You aren’t going to be buying anything. Like all the other times you have come into money you will be transferring it to my account.”There was no way Carlisle was going to let his children keep that much money. Especially because it was more than his own net worth.

“I feel like this is going to turn into a situation where Rosalie draws her sword and Carlisle gets some new scars.”Fran could see exactly where this was going and it wasn’t going to end well for Carlisle and most likely Edward as he could never mind his own business.

“I’m only going to draw my sword if Carlisle doesn’t get it through his head that he no longer has any control over us.”Rosalie wasn’t going to be the one to start the fight.

“I am your coven leader. The money is mine!”Carlisle needed the money not only to keep it away from his children but so he could use it to make himself more powerful in the vampire world. A world were being wealthy gave you many privileges and protections. Protections he needed.

“What are you going to buy first?”Emmett asked Alice ignoring Carlisle.

“I don’t know. I think I need to sit down and make a list. Plus there is the figuring out where to put it all.”Alice said.

“Isabella took care of our housing situation as well.”Rosalie held up a hand to stop the questions.”I will not be giving you the location but there is plenty of empty land to build a house to our own specifications.”

“I like the idea of being able to design our own home.”Fran was already mid plan on what she wanted added.

“Where is this land you are talking about?”Edward wanted to know so he could sabotage the construction.

“I’m not telling you anything because I know you both are petty enough to do something.”Rosalie knew both Carlisle and Edward would be angry enough to target their home once they left.

“You are not going to be moving onto any land that Isabella bought. Nor are you going to keep the money she gave you or use the identification. You are all going to be going back to school tomorrow and transferring the money to me. Then you are to destroy the ids and documents she provided for you.”Carlisle was not going to let his children break away from the coven. He would do whatever it took to keep them.

Emmett laughed.”How you are you going to make us do that?”

“I will once again remind you that I am your coven leader and to most of you your sire as well. I make the rules and you follow them. It’s how it works in all of vampire society.”Carlisle flinched when Queenie hissed at him.

“Now you’ve done it. You’ve pissed off the cat.”Fran said.

“It seems that Queenie doesn’t agree with you. Also the fact that a former vampire queen is the one who is helping us leads me to believe that everything you are saying isn’t true. If it was Isabella would have given the money to you not us. She also wouldn’t have gotten us new identification, a place to live and a chance to break away from you.”Rosalie knew that Carlisle was lying because Isabella wouldn’t have stepped in if he wasn’t.

“She is just doing this to get revenge against me.”Carlisle knew that Isabella was targeting him on purpose.

“What does she have against you other than one conversation. In her letter she was mad because you treat us like shit and for lying about Rosalie’s turning. Something that you still haven’t told us the truth about.”Jasper was very curious to know what Carlisle lied about in regards of Rosalie being turned.

“I’m not lying about Rosalie’s turning.”Carlisle jumped back when Queenie launched herself at him and began clawing his legs. He tried to kick her off but it didn’t work. Screaming he shook his leg as hard as he could.

“Get off him.”Edward lunged for the cat trying to get his arms around it only to have the cat go for his face again.”Help, someone help!!”

Emmett laughed at the scene.”I love your cat Rosalie.”

“I love my cat too.”Rosalie smiled as she watched Carlisle try and stop Queenie from mauling Edward’s face.

“Rosalie stop your cat!”Carlisle demanded as he tried to help his son.

“Although I think he deserves it it’s kind of annoying hearing him beg and scream.”Fran didn’t want to listen to Edward’s high pitch screeches.

“You’re right it is annoying.”Rosalie walked up to Edward and grabbed her cat who immediately stopped its attack and cuddled into Rosalie’s arms.

“I’m going to kill that cat!”Edward wouldn’t rest until the cat was dead.

“How are you going to do that when you attacked it when it was on Carlisle and it still kicked your ass?”Emmett asked.

“It just got lucky.”Edward could easily beat the cat in a fight.

“Are you going to deny begging for help and screaming like a little girl as well?”Fran figured Edward would.

“I didn’t do either of those things.”Edward was simply yelling insults at the cat.

“Who cares about Edward. I want to get back to the topic that started the fight to begin with. What are you hiding about my turning?”Rosalie knew that he was hiding something because not only did Isabella say something Queenie attacked Carlisle over it and her cat only attacked when someone was wronging Rosalie in some way.

“I told you I’m not lying about anything.”Carlisle was never going to admit the truth and even though Isabella claimed she knew she had no proof of the crimes so Carlisle and Edward could never be convicted for it.

“What do you think Queenie and Isabella are going to go after next?”Alice knew they were going to destroy something.

“Well since it’s been heavily hinted that Carlisle was involved in doing someone bad enough during Rosalie’s turning that Rosalie will want to kill him and is still maintaining the lie I think that it will be something big and most likely will result in a lot of crying and maybe even a suicide attempt.”Jasper thought the woman and her cat wouldn’t let Carlisle get away with just some wrecked stuff. They were going to make him pay for whatever he did.

“I am only responsible for making Rosalie a vampire nothing else.”Carlisle lifted a chair in front of his body when the cat hissed at him hoping to block another attack.

“The cat really doesn’t think you are being truthful and as it’s already proven to be able to detect lies it makes me also think that you aren’t being truthful.”Emmett trusted the cat and that meant Carlisle was lying.

“What is he feeling Jazz?”Alice asked her mate.

Jasper took a moment to focus his gift on Carlisle.”He is feeling overwhelming fear and rage. Plus a strong amount possessiveness.”

“Well it’s obvious that the fear is of the cat and Isabella.”Fran has seen many examples of that fear.

“The rage because we are all disobeying him and the possessiveness is likely for the five of us.”Rosalie guessed.

“That still doesn’t tell us what happened during your turning.”Emmett wanted to know what Carlisle was hiding.

“Edward what do you know about Rosalie’s turning?”Jasper watched as Edward’s eyes flashed in anger and the same rage and possessiveness Carlisle felt starting coming off of him in waves.”You were involved as well weren’t you?”

“What do you mean?”Rosalie hadn’t heard of Edward’s involvement in her turning.

“As soon as I asked he began feeling the same amount of rage and feelings of possessiveness as Carlisle did.”Jasper explained.

“I wasn’t involved in Rosalie’s turning.”Edward flinched when the cat hissed at him.

“The cat’s reaction proves you were.”Alice said.

“What did you two do?”Rosalie knew they did something.

“We did nothing.”Hearing the cat hiss once more Carlisle rushed to the front door and took off into the woods.

“Well if that wasn’t proof he did something I don’t know what is.”Emmett was positive Carlisle did something.

“How about you Edward are you going to confess?”Fran asked.

“I have nothing to confess to. I have committed no crimes.”When the cat lunged for him again Edward followed Carlisle’s example and rushed out of the house.

Rosalie knelt to the ground, picked Queenie up and snuggled her close.“What the hell are those two hiding?”

“Do you honestly want to know? I mean it is obvious it’s going to be something bad and it pertains to your turning which we all know wasn’t a pleasant experience. Do you really want to add on to that trauma?”If it was Jasper in Rosalie’s position he wasn’t sure he would want to chance it.

“I know you’re probably right. I just can’t help my curiosity. I mean that night shaped my entire life and now I’m finding out that my life ending might not have happened the way I was told. Maybe it’s silly but I’m hoping that finding out the truth will let me finally heal.”Rosalie knew it probably wouldn’t but she couldn’t smother the spark of hope that it would.

“I think I would want to know to.”Fran wouldn’t be able to rest until she found out the truth.

“No matter what the truth is we will be there to help you get through it good or bad.”Alice wasn’t going to let Rosalie go through this alone.

“Yeah we will.”Emmett would always be there for Rosalie and Jasper and Alice too.

“Well there is no use sitting around waiting for those two to return with answers so I’m going to go play with my new car.”Rosalie said.

“I would like to look at it later if you wouldn’t mind.”Jasper wanted to see the car but knew that Rosalie would want to spend time alone with it first.

“Sure I’ll even take you for ride.”Rosalie was more than happy to take Jasper on a ride in her new car.

“Thank you.”Jasper said.

“If you guys need me I’ll be outside.”Rosalie told them waving over her shoulder to their replies. She was very excited to get a close up look of her new car. She had dreamed of owning that particular model since she saw an advertisement in a newspaper for it when it first came out. When she became a vampire she had asked Carlisle to let her get a car but he denied her saying that it would bring attention to them if people saw a woman driving. She knew it was bullshit at the time but she didn’t have any way to fight him on it. It had taken years for her to save enough to buy her first car and it was fixer upper that she taught herself how to fix through reading every manual she get her hands on. Most of her tools she had stolen because she spent all her money on the car and parts for it. It wasn’t until Edward got interested in cars that Carlisle agreed to let them get a couple. Everyone but Edward had to share of course and Edward got to trade his in whenever he wanted but Rosalie had just been happy that she got to drive. Now though with Isabella’s help she had achieved her lifelong dream of owning the car she always wanted. It was the second dream Isabella help her achieve the first being having Queenie give her the block. Also she could say that another dream was breaking off from Carlisle. So that was really three dreams. It made Rosalie wonder what else she could achieve with Isabella’s help and based on what she had learned about the ancient vampire so far she knew that the possibilities were endless.
