Faceless Queen 7

“You can’t blame my cat for this.”Rosalie told a very angry Carlisle as the family gathered around a pile of broken and splintered wood that used to be the cross Carlisle had kept from his human life. Rosalie had been called to the scene by her sire who began to rant about how out of control her cat was. Rosalie didn’t understand why Queenie was being blamed because even with her quirks there was no way her cat could have destroyed the large and heavy cross. A cross so heavy it would take at least six humans to carry. There was no way her cat could destroy it. Rosalie knew that Queenie would probably do it if she could but there was no way she did it.

“Who else would have done it?”Edward asked.

“You are honestly trying to claim that my small house cat somehow destroyed Carlisle’s cross?”Rosalie asked.

“She is the only one who had a reason to.”Carlisle fully believed the cat broke his cross.

“Alright fine. Then how did she do it?”Rosalie would happily let her cat take the blame if they could prove she did it.

Carlisle thought about it for a minute before throwing his hands up in frustration.”I know it was the cat.”

“I’ve never been shy about saying there is something not right about the cat but this is ridiculous. There is no way that small cat was able to break the cross. A cross that all of us have at one time knocked into or hit it with something and it never broke.”Fran didn’t believe for a second that Queenie broke the cross.

“Well then who did it?”Edward scanned each of his family’s minds but came up with nothing.”None of you have a clue so unless someone broke into our home and we didn’t notice them, the cat did it.”

“Are there any claws marks in the wood?”Jasper wouldn’t blame the cat without proof.

Emmett picked up a few pieces of wood holding one up for everyone to see.”This one has an indent of hand in it.”

“Which means my cat didn’t do it.”Rosalie knew her cat was innocent.

Carlisle looked at the piece of wood in confusion.”If the cat didn’t do it and none of us did then someone was in our home while we were here and we didn’t notice.”

“That’s not good.”Alice didn’t like the idea of someone being in their home uninvited.

“How could that happen? We have all been home all day and we never even heard the sound of the cross being broken. You just came across it randomly.”Fran didn’t like anything about this situation.

“Who would have the capabilities to sneak into our home undetected, soundlessly destroy the cross and leave without being seen?”Emmett asked.”Hell they didn’t even leave a scent.”

Rosalie instantly knew who destroyed the cross.”It was Isabella.”

“What?”Alice didn’t think the lost queen would have targeted them.

“It had to be Isabella. Think about everything we have been told about her. Carlisle said that she’s like a ghost that can appear out of thin air and that you sometimes didn’t even know she was in the room with you. We have also been warned by many people that she will come for us and when she does she won’t be happy. The cross is the biggest clue as Isabella’s conversation with Carlisle was about religion. So she knew that destroying the cross would hurt him badly.”Rosalie was sure it was Isabella.

“Shit!”Emmett was not happy that Isabella was after them.

“I thought she would give us a chance to talk to her.”Fran said.

“I warned you all many times that she would find out and now she has. If she has been here personally I am afraid of what else she has found out.”Carlisle wondered if Isabella knew about the wolves and the newborns.

“It doesn’t matter what she knows. She will make contact with us again and when she does I will take care of her.”Edward wasn’t worried about Isabella.

“Dude she snuck into our house caused a bunch of destruction without making a sound and left with us none the wiser. I don’t think you’re taking care of anything. As a matter of fact I bet the next time she shows up it will be to terrorize us some more not sit down for a chat.”Emmett didn’t think Isabella would waste her time on them if her first instinct to finding out they were looking for her was to do what she did.

“I agree with Emmett. Isabella isn’t going to reach out a hand of friendship if this is how she made first contact.”Jasper said.

“We just need to set a trap for her so I can get her sword. Once I have it I can force her to do whatever I want.”Edward knew he could overpower Isabella easily.

“I would suggest you stop saying things like that Edward because it seems she has been in our home and could be right now for all we know and I don’t think you want her hearing all your threats towards her.”Fran said.

“I think he should keep talking.”Rosalie hoped that Isabella was listening so that she would punish Edward severely for his many threats against Isabella and the queens.

“The woman is not in the house anymore. I can’t hear her.”Edward told them.

"I’m glad you brought that up. If this stranger was in our house why didn’t you catch them? You would have heard their thoughts right?”Alice asked.

“I was composing new music and had pushed all other thoughts out of my mind.”Edward would have easily picked up on Isabella being in the house if he wasn’t distracted.

“It’s a good thing you are making more music. Queenie was getting bored only shredding your clothes.”Emmett joked.

“That cat needs to be killed.”Edward had gone to Carlisle and together they decided they needed to capture the cat to study it and find out why the scratches it left on Edward’s face never healed.

“If you lay a finger on my cat I will castrate you.”Rosalie wouldn’t let Edward anywhere near Queenie.

“Do you think Isabella will go for the cat next?”Fran asked.

“No she would never hurt an innocent animal.”Rosalie was positive that Isabella wouldn’t just kill her cat.

“How can you be so sure?”Alice thought that Isabella seemed like the type that would kill anything that annoyed her and Queenie was very annoying.

“I just have a feeling that’s all.”Rosalie didn’t know how she knew she just did.

“Speaking of your cat.”Emmett said as he saw Queenie walk towards Rosalie.”Does it have a letter attached to its collar?”

Rosalie bent down, picked up the cat and pulled the letter off of her collar.”It’s for you Carlisle.”

“I don’t have a good feeling about this.”Carlisle said.

“Read it out loud.”Esme told him.

“Alright.”Carlisle opened the letter, cleared his throat and began reading out loud.

Carlisle,

I had thought that after our time together that you would have learned from your mistakes. However after I learned of your prissy, weak willed, self important first turned coming to Italy to die because he was to much of a coward to kill himself I now know that you are still the small minded, weak, pitiful excuse for not only a man but a vampire. I am embarrassed for the ones who call you their coven leader. Have you told them what really happens in the world or are you still looking through your rose covered glasses with your fingers in your ears shutting out reality?

Your delusions of having the perfect family with you having the job that supports your wife so she can stay at home with the kids, kids that all wear the perfect outfits, drive the perfect cars and get perfect grades is pathetic. You are selfish man who forces his coven to rely on him so they have no other option than to play the role you chose for each of them. You claim to be a doctor to help people while you torture poor Jasper by sending him to a school full of emotional teenagers and vampires who are in a constant state of blood lust due them abstaining from human blood. I didn’t pardon him for you to mistreat him. Then again he isn’t the only ones in your family you mistreat. Alice you pester about her visions constantly to the point the poor girl has panic attacks when she doesn’t see what you want. Emmett and Fran who you mostly ignore in favor or your gifted members. Treating them as props instead of people.

Then there is Rosalie. Rosalie the one that you chose for Edward and tried to play it off as you were saving her. Do you think your god would approve of your involvement in and lying about her turning. Will you be the one to tell her or should I? Maybe when she finds out you won’t have to worry about killing yourself. She will probably kill you herself. In my opinion it would be too nice of a punishment. I would want to slowly torture you and drag out the pain.

I’ll be watching

Isabella Volturi

“What is she talking about the truth about my turning?”Rosalie asked.

“I don’t know.”Carlisle lied. He didn’t know how Isabella found out but he wasn’t going to admit anything to anyone. It was between him and Edward.

“Bullshit.”Emmett said.”You wouldn’t be so shaken up if she wasn’t telling the truth.”

“She kind of was about how you treat the rest of us.”Fran and her mate had many discussions about their lack of respect in the family.

“Is it true you have panic attacks?”Esme asked Alice.

“Yes I get them quite often.”Alice admitted.

“Why have you never told us about them?”Carlisle would have helped if he knew.

“You and Edward are so focused on what I can do for the family I didn’t think you would care.”Alice hadn’t even thought of telling Carlisle about the episodes.

“She is right about Jasper as well. We can all tell how much it pains him to go to school but you refuse to let him stay at home.”Rosalie didn’t believe Carlisle when he said he didn’t know what Isabella was talking in regards to her turning. She knew it would be up to her to find out as he wasn’t going to admit anything. It was just another reason for her to find Isabella. The former queen would no doubt tell her the truth.

“Yeah why do you make Jasper go to school? It wouldn’t matter if he didn’t.”Emmett said.

“Jasper goes to school so we can all appear younger and stay in one place longer.”Carlisle told him.

“But Jasper could just say he graduated the year before. It really wouldn’t make a difference. Unless Isabella was right and you are trying to make us play the perfect family.”If Fran really thought about it that was what they were doing.

“Let’s not forget the fact that you won’t let Esme get a job. Something that she had said many times she wanted.”Rosalie thought Isabella made some good points.

“Esme doesn’t want a job and Jasper goes to school because that is the best place for him.”Carlisle was not pleased that his family was saying such things.

“Actually I have always wanted to do something with my design hobby but you said that it wouldn’t be a good idea to gain such close relationships with humans.”Esme had always wanted to do more than just stay at home and tend to the house.

“You tell even us not to have close relationships with humans yet you work at a hospital where you not only interact with patients but you have relationships with your coworkers. Hell we have even been to parties thrown by a few.”Emmett had always thought it was unfair that he wasn’t allowed to make friends with humans because his family didn’t like his hobbies and he had nobody to do them with.

“None of this is Carlisle’s fault. It’s Isabella trying to sow discord amongst us. We can’t let her pull us a part. Now that she has made contact we need to pull together so that we can beat her and gain control of her.”Edward jumped back when Queenie hissed at him.

Rosalie repositioned the cat in her arms to give it space to jump at Edward if it wanted to.“I don’t think my cat appreciates you making such threats.”

“I don’t care what your cat thinks. As a matter of fact you are going to give me the cat so that Carlisle and I can figure out why my scratches haven’t healed.”Edward told her.

“I personally want to see the pair of you try and force the cat to do anything.”After seeing the cat beat the asses of most of the family and a couple of the wolves during training Emmett knew that it would have no mercy on Carlisle and Edward.

“Can we get back to the fact that Carlisle treats us all like shit?”Fran wanted to get back to that topic.

“I don’t treat any of you badly.”Carlisle denied.

“We have already gone over everything in Isabella’s letter and have proven she is right. You are manipulating us to make us fill the role of perfect family. Why do you do it?”Rosalie asked.

“I’m not manipulating you.”Carlisle didn’t manipulate anyone.

“Carlisle only does what’s best for us.”Edward knew that Carlisle was only protecting the family.

“Of course you would say that you are his favorite and he lets you get away with everything.”Emmett said.

“It’s not my fault that I don’t do anything wrong.”Edward didn’t know why he was being blamed for not acting out.

”You don’t do anything wrong.”Rosalie laughed at the very idea.”Just recently you ran to Italy to kill yourself because you were to stupid to check to see if your mate was really dead. Add to the fact that you were the one that convinced everyone that Victoria wasn’t a threat and we shouldn’t go after her.”

“Running to Italy wasn’t wrong and I was right about Victoria. She isn’t a threat. We will easily kill off her and her newborns.”Edward wasn’t wrong. Victoria was no threat to them.

“Isabella really was right. What kind of fucked up family are we?”Fran was now questioning everything she thought was normal.

“I don’t know.”Alice was very disturbed by all the revelations.

“A lot of hard truths have been shoved in our faces.”Jasper wasn’t even bothering using his gift on anyone. He felt they deserved to feel their feelings.

“What does this mean for us?”Emmett didn’t know if they could go back to the way things were.

“Nothing changes. We are still a family just like we have always been.”Carlisle wasn’t going to lose his family because of Isabella. No matter how much the woman scared him.

“You honestly think that we can go back to being mindless zombies that play a superficial role that you created for us so that you could have your fantasy life because I know I’m not doing it.”Rosalie wasn’t going to play high school student anymore. Especially now that she realized the only benefit it had was to Carlisle and his sick need to have the perfect life.

“What is that supposed to mean?”Carlisle asked.

“It means I’m not playing my role anymore. I’m sick of going to high school and dealing with hormone ridden teens who leer at me and say the most disgusting things to my face and behind my back. I want to actually live a life I choose. Something that none of us have been doing and it’s about time we did.”Rosalie wasn’t going to ever step foot in a high school again. Well she would if Isabella had a way to turn her human and she had to take her child there.

“I’m sick of it too. I mean I was a soldier in a human war and in a vampire war. Now I have to sit in class with a bunch of adolescents and deal with not only their feelings but the blood lust of the entire family. I have struggled enough. I deserve some peace. Isabella believed I did as well by granting my pardon.”Jasper wasn’t sure why the woman did it but he was grateful.

“Me too. I get made fun of and people are rude to me all day because of the episodes I have with my gift. Plus it’s disgusting that I have to pretend that Jasper is my brother. I know we are supposed to say we are adopted but it makes me feel gross. It also brings so much more attention to ourselves.”Alice hated the comments people made about her relationship with Jasper.

“I told you not to let people know you are dating.”Edward had constantly told the mated pairs to act like siblings but they didn’t listen to him.

“I’m not going to pretend that my soulmate is my brother.”Fran would never pretend she wasn’t in love with Emmett.”But while we are on that topic. I’m done to. Emmett and I have talked about it before and we hate going to school. There are so many other things we want to do and having to go to high school prevents that.”

“What are you wanting to do?”Carlisle wanted to know so that he could prevent them from leaving.

“Emmett wants to spend some time on the professional video game circuit. It’s been his dream since he found out about it. I made him a costume for it that includes a mask so no one would know it was him.”Fran was in full support of Emmett following his dream.

“Good for you Emmett.”Rosalie could see Emmett being very happy doing that.

“You can’t travel the world playing video games.”Edward shut that idea down right away.

“Why not?”Emmett asked.

“Because you would be leaving the family with out your strength. Which we need to keep enemies away.”Edward told him.

“So I’m supposed to give up my life to keep the family safe. A family that doesn’t support myself or my mate or even give us a vote on how things go. We are treated like second class citizens in our own home and are given no respect. I mean how many times have I asked to have a room for me to put my computers and game systems and have been told no but Edward gets a whole fucking floor for himself. Plus he gets a music room in every house. Why are me and my mate not treated as well as Edward?”Emmett was just realizing how badly he and Fran were treated.

“At least you are treated like a second class citizen. I am treated like a walking time bomb. Which is highly insulting because I have not once slipped since I turned to the animal diet. In fact it isn’t my bloodlust that affects me it’s all of yours. Especially Carlisle and Edward’s. The pair of you are the reason I can’t be around Angela while you are both in the same room.”Jasper had perfect control of himself. It was the others that effected him.

“Carlisle doesn’t have blood lust and I don’t have those urges towards Angela.”Edward didn’t feel the need to drain his mate.

“Carlisle has the strongest feelings of blood lust out of all of us and the one who has the best control is Rosalie who barely even reacts to humans.”Jasper had always been impressed with Rosalie’s control.

“Rosalie isn’t the best at anything other than making her hair look pretty.”Edward jumped back when the cat swiped its paw at him.

“What do you think the cat is going to wreck of Edward’s next?”Alice asked.

“It hasn’t gone after his beloved car yet.”Fran said.

“If that cat touches my car I will skin it and make a rug out of its fur.”Edward threatened.

“It’s definitely going after the car now.”Emmett could see the glint in the cat’s eyes and knew it meant that Edward’s car was about to become unsalvageable.

“I think we are getting off topic.”Jasper also thought the cat was going to destroy the car but wanted to focus on the family’s issues.”Alice and I are sick of being used as mere tools for the family while reaping no benefit for it.”

“I agree with Jasper. You make me feel like if I don’t use my gift for whatever you want even though it doesn’t work that way you will kick me out of the family.”Alice was in constant fear that Carlisle would ask her and Jasper to leave.

“Alice we would never kick you out of the family. You are our daughter we love you.”Esme wouldn’t dream of making one of her children leave.

“That’s the thing. We aren’t your children. Only Edward was still a child when he was turned. I was 20, Emmett was 25, Fran 23, Jasper 28 and Alice we think 26. The fact that we dress in clothes that make us look younger and style our hair to give us a youthful appearance doesn’t change the fact that we are your peers. Heck Jasper was a major in the army. If anyone should have a role of authority it should be him not Carlisle who has no real world experience.”Rosalie had always felt weird thinking of Esme and Carlisle as her parents. That’s why she never called them mom and dad.

“Carlisle has tons of real world experience.”Edward said resulting in the cat making chuffing sounds.

Emmett laughed.”The cat doesn’t seem to think so.”

“The cat laughing is just more proof that there is something unnatural about it.”With every interaction she had with Queenie it just proved to Fran that it was no regular house cat.

“Queenie’s right though. Carlisle has no real world experience. He stayed at the castle for a century and a half and then he played doctor moving from town to town before anyone got suspicious. Once he found Edward he just adapted by calling him son then he went about finding the perfect people to turn so he could have his perfect family.”Rosalie told them.

“Why do we even follow him?”Emmett asked.

“Because I am the best one to lead the coven. All of you are just reacting to what Isabella said. It’s just like with my conversation with her. She uses words to twist your perception of the world and makes you doubt everything that you think you knew. If you all just took a minute to think about things without her influence you will see that the way we live our life is for the best and that I have only your best interest at heart when I make decisions.”Carlisle was regretting reading the letter out loud. He should have known better but didn’t think Isabella would have known about the relationships within his coven as well as she had. Not even his closest allies the Denali knew as much as Isabella did.

“No once again she was right we have been wearing rose colored glasses with our fingers in our ears shutting out the rest of the world.  Including other vampires as the only ones we have ever been introduced to are the Denali. You have also encouraged Jasper to cut ties with the friends he made from before he joined us. Friends that have never been allowed to visit.”Rosalie had always thought it was weird that they never met any other vampires.

“I keep you away from other vampires because I worry how they will react to our diet. I was targeted many times in the castle because of it and don’t want anything to happen to any of you.”Carlisle lied. He kept his family away from others for fear they would want to leave his coven.

“That’s a bunch of bullshit. The Denali have many vampire friends and they are animal drinkers. They also have stayed in one place for over five hundred years. We are only allowed to talk to each other and we constantly have to move. Why are you trying to isolate us?”Emmett could see it clear as day. Carlisle was trying to keep them away from the rest of the world.

“I’m not trying to isolate you. I’m trying to protect you.”Carlisle told him.

“Yet it is us you keep around to protect you. So I think the question should be what enemies have you made that you are afraid of coming after you?”Jasper asked.

“I have no enemies.”Carlisle jumped when the cat hissed.

“My cat doesn’t believe you and that means I don’t believe you.”Rosalie trusted her cat’s intuition that meant Carlisle was lying.

“I’m with the cat. If it thinks you’re lying then I think you’re lying.”Emmett had seen enough to know the cat would be able to tell if someone was lying.

“You would trust a cat over your own sire?”Carlisle couldn’t believe that his children would take a cat’s hissing over his own denial.

“Based on how the cat has acted this whole time I am also with the cat. Who are the enemies that are coming after you.”Fran was with her mate on this one. She thought the cat could tell if someone was lying.

“I have no enemies.”Carlisle denied again.

Jasper reached out to Carlisle with his gift.“He is almost overwhelmed with panic and fear.”

“Well that confirms the cat knows when someone is lying.”Alice wasn’t surprised by that.

“And partially explains why we don’t stay in one place for very long. Although I think the main reason is for him to live out his perfect family fantasy.”Rosalie knew that what was driving Carlisle was his want of the perfect family. She figured hiding from his enemies was the reason that they moved so quickly.

“If he won’t tell us I guess we are at an impasse.”Jasper said.

“Unfortunately we have to deal with the newborns and Victoria before we do anything.”Fran knew they couldn’t just ignore them.

“Maybe Isabella already knows about them and will be taking care of them herself.”Emmett predicted she would.

“If she does then she will be coming back to deal with us once she’s done.”Carlisle was going to use the time until then to secure his family’s loyalty again. He would just need to enlist Edward’s help in doing it.

“Until then I am no longer willing to go to school.”Rosalie cut off Carlisle before he could argue.”No I’m done. I refuse to play anymore. I don’t care what the consequences are to not going back but I’m not doing it.”

Alice shared a look with Jasper.”We are done too.”

“Us as well.”Fran didn’t need to ask Emmett as it was something they had discussed many times already.

“You need to keep up appearances.”Carlisle told them.

“No actually we don’t because us playing our roles doesn’t benefit us in any way and it never has. Plus we have never gained anything from the whole charade. All it has brought us is misery.”Rosalie had been unhappy with her life ever since she was turned. The only bright spot had been meeting her cat.

“I have provided you a life of luxury and given you everything you ever wanted.”Carlisle had gone out of his way to make sure his family had what they needed.

“Actually that’s not true. You keep a tight hold on our money and only allow us small allowances. If it’s a big ticket item we have to ask you for approval and more often than not you don’t give it. Unless it’s something that you or Edward can benefit from.”Alice had asked for many things throughout the years that Carlisle refused to let her have.

“That’s another things that isn’t right. Why is that you control all the money. I get that we are supposed to be teenagers but that’s only for school. We can easily have id’s made to open bank accounts but you insist any money any of us makes goes into your account.”Emmett always hated that he had to give Carlisle his money but was told that was how a coven worked.

“I have to keep control of it or it would run out with all your frivolous spending.”Carlisle actually kept control of the money so that his coven would rely on him. That way it would be impossible for them to leave.

“So my asking for a new lift in my garage that I use to take care of and make upgrades to all the family’s cars is frivolous but Edward’s half a million dollar piano wasn’t?”Rosalie asked.

“The computer system I asked for was only $5000. You told me no because it was a waste of money. I don’t understand why my hobby is a waste of money but Edward gets a blank check book to pay for his hobbies.”Emmett was still pissed he wasn’t given the money for something so important to him.

“I am a composer. I need the piano to use as a vessel to release the passion inside me.”Edward was more than justified spending the money on the piano.

“Well you should have bought a litter box instead because with the cat peeing all over it you could have saved the money.”Fran said.

“Once Rosalie cleans the piano it will be good as new.”Edward told her.

“I’m not cleaning anything.”Rosalie wasn’t going to touch the piano. Especially because it had cat pee on it. She had litter boxes for her cat in the house but had been lucky that the cat only went outside not in the boxes. It was another thing she loved the cat for. Rosalie definitely didn’t want to clean a litter box.

“If you don’t clean it you will be forbidden to drive and not allowed to use your garage.”Edward wouldn’t let Rosalie do any of her hobbies unless she cleaned his piano.

Emmett pointed at Edward.”That right there. Edward thinking he has the authority to punish anyone just proves that the five of us are second class citizens in this house.”

“Even if it isn’t Edward’s right to punish Rosalie it is mine and I agree with Edward. Rosalie will clean the piano or her driving and garage privileges are going to be taken away.”Carlisle thought Edward was justified in wanting Rosalie to clean his piano.

Rosalie looked down at her cat when it began to wiggle.”Do you want down?”

“Where is it going?”Emmett asked as he watched the cat walk down the hallway.

“Forget about the cat. Rosalie you are to clean Edward’s piano without hiring someone else to do it.”Carlisle told her.

“I’m not doing it and honestly there isn’t a thing you can do to force me to.”Rosalie was never going to clean that piano.

“Then you aren’t driving or using your garage.”Edward said.

“How are you going to stop me when you couldn’t even beat my cat in a fight.”Rosalie wasn’t worried about Edward doing anything. If he tried Rosalie could easily beat him and if not Queenie would take care of him.

“The only reason the cat won was because I was being careful not to hurt it.”Edward had regretted not killing the cat when he had the chance.

Emmett laughed.”Then how do you explain you begging for help while screaming like a little girl?”

“I didn’t beg anyone for help and I definitely didn’t scream.”Edward would never beg anyone for anything.

“Maybe I should call my cat back for a rematch.”Rosalie suggested.

“It you do you can’t be upset with me when I kill it.”Edward wouldn’t hesitate to snap the cat’s neck.

“Then you can’t be upset when you earn a few more scars.”Rosalie had to hold back her laughter every time she saw the scratch marks on Edward’s face. She had completely lost it the first time she saw him wearing makeup to cover them.

“There will be no fights.”Carlisle didn’t want to deal with the cat when it was angry. He was afraid of what it would do.”Now Rosalie you clean the piano and everything will be fine.”

“I’m not cleaning the piano.”Rosalie would rather die than clean the piano.

“Then your driving privilege is revoked and your garage is off limits.”Carlisle didn’t like taking away privileges but Rosalie needed to be punished.

“Sure we will go with that.”Rosalie wasn’t going to go along with that rule she just didn’t feel like fighting them.

“The rest of you we will be training this afternoon so make sure you are ready in time.”Carlisle told them.

“Fine.”Fran was going to use the time until then to speak to her siblings about the future.

“I’m going to go find my cat.”Rosalie wondered were it went off to as it usually stayed with her when Edward and Carlisle were around.

“Let us know what she destroyed. We have a bet going about it.”Emmett had been winning so far as Queenie had ruined a bunch of Carlisle’s rare books and scratched up his antique desk. He had picked the books and no one picked the desk. He was going to claim Edward’s car as soon as could because he knew that the others were going to want to claim it as well.

“I will.”Rosalie didn’t even bother to defend her cat. It was very likely that whatever part of the conversation Queenie heard had annoyed her and she was taking out her anger on someone’s belongings. Edward and Carlisle being her current targets. Rosalie wouldn’t admit it to the others but every time Queenie acted out she praised the cat and gave it a lot of love when they were in private. She approved greatly of Queenie’s actions and loved the fact that she had someone standing up for her. It was the first time Rosalie felt like someone was on her side. Queenie made the loneliness she had felt since she woke up go away replaced with the overwhelming feeling of love and affection. Rosalie didn’t care that Queenie was a cat. All she cared about was the cat obviously loved her just as much as she loved it. The fact that the cat was willing to defend her against every insult was added bonus. Plus it was a lot of fun to watch century old vampires and wolf shifters be put in their place by a house cat.
