Faceless Queen 6

“What’s with the mangy fleabag?”Jacob asked. Rosalie growled at the boy while the cat in her lap jumped to its feet and hissed at him. In response Jacob tumbled backwards tripping over his feet and landing on his butt. Rosalie smiled at the sight. It was the least Jacob deserved for calling her cat a mangy fleabag. Her cat an orange longhaired house cat that had shown up three days prior. Rosalie had been out hunting when she spotted the cat laying down under a tree watching her feed. Once Rosalie was done the cat approached her and hadn’t left her side since. Not that Rosalie minded because as soon as she had seen those cat eyes she was in love. The cat was definitely her soul mate and if Jasper was to believed Rosalie had done the impossible and formed a bond with the animal. Rosalie agreed with him as she had never felt such an overwhelming feeling of love and devotion to anyone. Not even her family.

“I wouldn’t bad mouth the cat bro.”Emmett told him. He, the rest of the family and the wolves were gathered in a clearing training for when the newborns came.

“I thought animals didn’t like vampires.”Seth was sure that was what he had been told.

“Rosalie’s cat isn’t like normal animals.”Fran said.

Jacob stood from the ground and dusted off his shorts.“What do you mean?”

“I mean that there is something off about that cat. It’s to aware of what’s going on and I swear that I saw it smile when Edward found all his sheet music shredded.”Fran knew that cat wasn’t just a regular house cat.

“Did the cat shred the music?”Emily asked. She had been asked by Sam to come to training after they found three newborns on the reservations because he worried that she would be targeted and he was the only one who could protect her.

Emmett nodded.”Not only did it shred the sheet music it managed to pee on every key of Edward’s prized antique grand piano. Then it ruined all his shoes and knocked everything off of each of the shelves in his room.”

“The cat really doesn’t like Edward does it?”Jacob approved of the cat’s actions as he hated Edward too.

“She hates him.”Alice said when she approached the group.”She isn’t that friendly with the rest of us either but it’s only his stuff she ruins.”

“That’s because she knows he’s a jackass.”Rosalie cooed the cat.”Yes she does.”

“It’s also the reason I think there is something up with the cat. It doesn’t make sense for it to target one person.”Fran fully believed the cat knew more than they thought.

“I think that Queenie here can sense when someone is a bad person.”Rosalie was proud of her cat’s actions.

“It’s name is Queenie?”Emily asked.

“Any cat of mine is obviously royalty so of course I would name her Queenie. I even got her a crown dog tag for her diamond collar.”Rosalie lifted up the pure gold crown that had the name Queenie and Rosalie’s phone number engraved on it.

“Are those real diamonds?”Seth asked.

“Of course. My cat deserves nothing but the best.”Rosalie hadn’t even considered getting her cat a cheap collar. As soon as she decided she was keeping the cat she commissioned both the collar and the tag and paid extra for a rush order.

“I still think turning half of your room into a cat play center was a little over the top.”Fran didn’t understand Rosalie’s obsession with the cat.

“She needed some place to explore and lounge where you guys can’t bother her as you like to do when she is in the room with you.”Rosalie told her.

“We just want to pet the cat. We aren’t trying to murder it.”Emmett wanted to be able to pet an animal but the cat didn’t like anyone but Rosalie.

“I don’t remember ever touching an animal so it would be nice to pet a cat.”Alice had no experience with animals as she didn’t remember her human life.

“I think if you actually encouraged it to let us touch it instead of egging it on when it got violent would help as well Rosalie.”Fran had seen the cat react to Rosalie’s emotions so if Rosalie was annoyed the cat got annoyed as well and when it was annoyed it acted out.

“Queenie chooses who touches her not me. It’s not my fault she has decided that I’m the only one worthy.”Rosalie loved that the cat refused to let anyone touch it but her.

“Hey guys what are you talking about?”Angela asked when it was Edward’s turn to fight.

“We are talking about the reason Edward is glaring at us right now.”Fran said.

Angela looked to the fight catching her boyfriend glaring in Rosalie’s direction.”Oh so you are discussing Queenie.”

“Every conversation should be about how magnificent my cat is.”Rosalie immediately began petting the cat’s belly when Queenie rolled on her back and presented Rosalie with her stomach. She loved that the cat felt safe enough with her to put itself in such a vulnerable position.

“It’s kind of hard to believe that cat causes so much mayhem.”Emily thought the cat looked like a regular if not a bit spoiled house cat.

“I personally believe that it has done a lot more that we haven’t discovered yet.”Emmett predicted that they would be finding things the cat wrecked for years to come.

“I don’t understand why it hates Edward so much.”Angela hadn’t even seen her boyfriend try to touch the cat.

“Maybe it’s his scent. Or something about him that set off her animal instincts. Do wolves have a kind of intuition that tells you about a person?”Fran asked the two shifters.

”Not really. I mean we can smell people and vampires stink but we can’t take the measure of a person from their scent and we don’t have any kind of intuition.”Jacob jumped when the cat hissed at him again.

“I don’t think Queenie believes you.”Alice said.

“Is it normal for a cat to look that annoyed?”Seth had never seen a cat glare so intensely.

“Now you see why I said she isn’t a normal cat.”Fran was happy that others were now noticing what she had been pointing out the whole time.

“Well I don’t know why it would be annoyed about shifters. It doesn’t know anything about us.”Jacob yelped when Queenie launched herself at him and scratched his face. Before he had a chance to defend himself the cat was already back in Rosalie’s lap laying down.”What the fuck?!”

Seeing the bloody claw marks on his cheek Rosalie laughed.”It seems my cat doesn’t appreciate you questioning its knowledge of shifters.”

“Did you see how fast that cat moved?”Alice had never seen any animal move that fast.

“How many times do I have to tell you? Something isn’t right about that cat.”Fran didn’t know why no-one but her was concerned about the animal.

“Maybe it can help us against the newborns.”Emmett said.

“I think Queenie could kill the army and Victoria by herself.”Queenie stood and bumped her head against Rosalie’s chin.”See she agrees with me.”

“I honestly wouldn’t be surprised it that cat could kill off the newborns and Victoria itself. The only thing that worries me about it is she would likely kill the rest of off as well.”Fran wouldn’t put it past the cat to kill off everyone in the family except for Rosalie.

“I get that the cat is kind of weird but I doubt it could kill off one newborn let alone a shifter.”Seth couldn’t see the small animal even seriously hurting a human let alone a vampire or a shifter.

“Are you challenging my cat?”Rosalie asked him.

Looking at the still bleeding wound on Jacob’s face Seth shook his head.”No I am not challenging your cat. I just find it hard to believe.”

“I think he’s challenging your cat.”Emmett wanted to see the cat fight a shifter. He knew it would be a good fight.

“Yeah he definitely is insinuating that Queenie is weak and would lose a fight against him.”Alice wanted to see the fight as well. Training had been boring so a fight against a shifter and Rosalie’s cat would be a fun distraction.

“I’m not challenging the cat.”Seth didn’t want to fight the cat because he feared if he hurt it the vampires would kill him.

“Is it because you are afraid of her?”Fran asked jumping on the wanting a fight to happen band wagon.

Watching queenie yawn and snuggle down to sleep Rosalie chuckled.”I don’t think my cat considers you any kind of threat.”

“I could easily beat it in a fight I just don’t think it’s right for me to fight a house cat.”Seth wasn’t worried about losing.

“Fran it’s your turn.”Edward said as he joined the group. His eyes went right for the cat glaring at it.

“It looks like Edward saved you because there is no way that the cat is going to focus on anyone but Edward while he’s around.”Emmett told him.

“That cat is a menace and needs to be brought to the pound.”Edward hated the cat and had been of the opinion it shouldn’t be allowed in their house.

“Queenie is a sweetheart with good taste in people.”Rosalie being the only person the cat gave any positive attention to.

“It needs to stay out of the house where it can’t destroy things.”Edward said.

“It only destroys your things.”Alice pointed out.

“Maybe to get it to stop you should be nicer to it and Rosalie.”Emmett suggested.

“I’m not going to change my behavior because of a cat. If anything Rosalie needs to have a firmer hand when disciplining it.”Edward would have personally beaten the cat the first time it acted out but Rosalie wouldn’t let him get near it.

“My cat doesn’t need discipline because it hasn’t done anything wrong.”Rosalie approved of all of Queenie’s actions.

“It ruined my piano!”Edward had loved that piano more than anything in his life including his mate and his family.

“It’s not ruined you just have to take it apart and clean up all the cat urine and get new keys for it.”Alice said.

“I still don’t understand how it succeeded in peeing on all the keys.”Emily couldn’t think of a way a cat would be able to balance itself to be able to pee on all the keys.

“It seems like Fran is right. There is something off about that cat.”Seth said.

“The fact that I’m still bleeding makes me agree with you.”Jacob’s wound should have been healed by now but he still had blood flowing freeing from the scratches.

“Let me see.”Emily took a tissue from her bag and wiped the wound.”You’re right it should have stopped by now. Hold that tissue to it. The pressure should stop the blood.”

“Now the cat has superpowers that can actually hurt a shifter. Queenie you just keep getting cooler and cooler.”Emmett was surprised when the cat held it’s paw up towards him.”What do you want me to do?”

“I think it’s trying to give you a high five.”Rosalie told him.

Emmett reached out carefully and tapped his hand on the cat’s paw smiling brightly when the cat didn’t hurt him.”You are so rad!”

“I can’t believe the cat just high fived you.”Seth wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen it.

“That’s just more proof the cat is more than just a house cat.”Alice thought a cat purposely giving Emmett a high five showed its awareness.

“I wonder who would win a fight between Isabella and the cat?”Emmett mused.

“I doubt Isabella would be heartless enough to hurt a cat. Especially one as extraordinary as Queenie.”Rosalie didn’t think Isabella would abuse defenseless animals.

“From what we have learned the woman is brutal and thrives on violence. A house cat wouldn’t even be on her radar.”Angela said.

“We heard all about the lost queen. Have you guys figured out a way to reach her yet?”Emily was hoping they would so that the woman could come take care of the threat for them.

“She had some symbols on the armor in the painting I saw of her that I’ve been researching. I haven’t found anything exactly like them but some that are close predate the pyramids.”Rosalie had been frustrated that she hadn’t found a match.

“That means she is likely older than the first documented civilization.”Seth couldn’t imagine being that old.

“I still don’t understand how she has a human body but has vampire abilities and drinks blood.”Jacob, the rest of the pack and the tribal council had been very disturbed learning that such things were possible.

“Our cousin Kate thinks that she might be part vampire or that she has a gift that allows her to keep her body human.”Alice was leaning towards her having a gift.

“And once we find her I’m going to make her change me back to human.”Edward flinched when the cat hissed at him.

“I don’t think Queenie likes the idea of you asking Isabella for anything.”Rosalie agreed with her cat. She didn’t think Edward deserved to gain from Isabella.

“It doesn’t matter what your cat thinks. Isabella will do as I say or she will feel my wrath.”Edward told her. Everyone turned their attention to the cat who was making chuffing sounds.

“Is the cat laughing?”Angela asked.

“That’s what it sounds like.”Emily had never heard a cat laugh before.

Emmett joined in the laughter.”You are so pitiful that even a cat doesn’t take you serious.”

“I predict that something else of yours is going to be destroyed.”Alice had a feeling the cat was going to wreck something of Edward’s in retaliation for that comment.

“Well the cat is wrong. I can easily defeat Isabella. Especially when I take her sword away from her.”Edward said.

“Explain this sword to us.”Jacob had heard of the sword but didn’t quite believe it could exist.

“Apparently it’s a 4ft broadsword that can slice though not only vampires and children of the moon but almost any other substances as well. Carlisle saw it slice though a brick wall and our friend Eleazar claimed that while Isabella lived in the castle she was known to randomly slice limbs off of vampires for no reason.”Alice explained.

“She even used it to cut up a vampire who tried to steal it and when I say cut up I mean she took his man hood and everything else. Even scalped him.”Emmett told them.

Seth grimaced thinking about it.”I don’t think I want to meet her.”

“All that for trying to steal a sword. Yeah she can stay away.”Jacob didn’t want to risk angering the woman for fear of what punishment she would dole out.

“She has also caused many people to kill themselves just by talking to them.”Alice said.

“She doesn’t sound like someone that we want around.”Emily didn’t think it would be safe to have someone who could use words to make you kill yourself hanging around.

“Eleazar and the rest of his coven are deathly afraid of Isabella and begged us not to tell her that we called them asking for information.”Emmett didn’t think they had anything to worry about.

“Is this Isabella woman really that dangerous?”Seth asked.

“No, her reputation is mostly made up as there is no way she could have done everything we have found out about her. I personally think that she was wounded heavily in battle and went into hiding for protection. That’s another reason I know I will be able to get her to do what I tell her to do. She is weak with an inflated sense of self worth.”Edward wasn’t worried about Isabella when she came.”The first thing I will have her do is give me her sword and then the next is having her turn me human. After that I will make her join our coven as she has some influence with the queens. That will give us a way to control the royals as well.”

“What do you mean control the royals?”This was the first time Rosalie heard of Edward controlling the royals.

“Well it’s obvious that once we have Isabella that we would go after the royals. You heard both Carlisle and Eleazar all three of them have a soft spot for her. If we have control over Isabella then we would have control over the queens. Then we could implement whatever laws we wanted. Why we could make it so vampires never drank from humans ahhhhh!!”Edward screamed in pain when the cat launched itself at his face.

“Fuck!!”Emmett exclaimed in shock as the cat tore into Edward.

“Get off me!! Help! Get it off me!! Stop! Someone please help!”Edward begged as he couldn’t unlatch the cat from himself.

“I’m not getting involved in that.”Alice wasn’t swayed by Edward’s screams either. She didn’t want the cat to target her.

“What is going on?”Carlisle had rushed over when he heard Edward’s screams. Seeing the cat attached to Edward’s face he made a move to remove it only to find himself on the receiving end of a sharp claw to the cheek.

“How do we get it to stop?”Emily asked.

“Rosalie the cat listens to you. Please help him?”Carlisle pleaded.

Rosalie thought about just letting the cat have it’s fun but they may need Edward in the future. Sighing she walked over to Edward grabbed the cat and cradled it close to her body.”Are you alright sweetheart? Did the bad man hurt you?”

“Did Edward hurt the cat? I think the worry should be for Edward. Look at his face.”Alice pointed to Edward who’s face was covered in cat scratches.

“He started it. The cat was just defending the queens.”Rosalie thought the cat was justified with attacking Edward. He was talking about plotting treason.

“What do you mean defending the queens?”Carlisle asked as he tried to help Edward fix his face.

“Edward has grand plans of using Isabella to gain control of the queen.”Emmett raised his hands in front of him and took a step back when the cat hissed.”Something the cat does not appreciate.”

“How many times do I need to tell you to stop thinking you can make Isabella do anything or that you can do anything to her. You shouldn’t even be thinking these kind of thoughts let alone saying them out loud because she will find out. She always finds out it doesn’t matter what you do to hide it she knows and once she has that knowledge she will come for you and when she is done with you you will wish that you only had a few cat scratches as result of her reaction.”Carlisle spread some venom on Edward’s scratches.

“If I get my hands on her sword then I won’t have any problem.”Edward figured if he got the sword Isabella wouldn’t be able to get close to him and he could get her to do whatever he wanted.

“You are putting a lot of faith in thinking that you would ever get close enough to take it from her.”Alice didn’t think Edward would be able to sneak up close enough to Isabella to get it.

“I was originally hoping she would come here and take care of the threat but after hearing some of the things you all are saying about her I would rather she stay away.”Emily didn’t want such a violent person around where Edward was most likely to piss her off. Who knew who would be a victim of her wrath if she decided they were all like Edward.

“These marks aren’t healing.”Carlisle said as the claw marks didn’t react to the venom he spread on Edward’s skin.

“Mine aren’t healing either.”The blood had slowed down but Jacob’s wound had not healed even a little bit. Something that should have been fully healed within minutes of it happening.

“Do you think it has something to do with the cat’s claws?”Angela asked.

“The fact that a cat can even make a mark let alone as deep as a wound on a vampire’s skin is concerning.”Carlisle had never heard of an animal being able to leave a mark on a vampire. Let alone a house cat.

“Just another thing to add to the list of things not quite right with the cat.”Alice said.

“My cat is perfect.”Rosalie held Queenie to her face and rubbed their noses together.”You’re the best kitty ever aren’t you?”

“After seeing what she did to Edward you would put the cat next to your face?”Emily wouldn’t even touch the cat let alone put it near her face.

“Queenie wouldn’t hurt me.”Rosalie smiled when the cat started rubbing its head against her face and purring.”See she is perfectly harmless.”

“Harmless?! That mongrel ripped apart my face. It’s need to be put down.”Edward was going to kill the little bastard.

Rosalie pulled the cat close her body and growled at Edward.”If you try and target my cat it will be you who will be put down.”

“Are you threatening me over a cat?”Edward couldn’t believe Rosalie would pick a cat over her family member.

“Queenie is my soulmate. I would hurt anyone who threatened her.”Rosalie would fight all three queens if they threatened her cat.

“That cat isn’t your soulmate.”Edward scoffed at the very idea.

“Jasper has confirmed Rosalie’s feeling for the cat are those of a bonded vampire.”Alice had been surprised to hear that but she trusted her mate’s gift. That and anyone who saw Rosalie with the cat could see the obvious affection went further than just an owner and their pet.

“Well Jasper is wrong because there is no way for a vampire to bond with an animal. It’s unnatural.”Edward flinched when the cat hissed at him.

“I don’t think Queenie agrees with you.”Emmett was hoping the cat would go after Edward again.

“It doesn’t matter what the cat thinks. As soon as I get my chance I’m going to kill it for all it’s done to me.”Edward wouldn’t rest until the cat was dead.

“You aren’t even going to touch my cat let alone kill it. Not only will I not let you but I don’t think Queenie will be very receptive of any of your attempts.”Rosalie wasn’t worried about Edward killing her cat. The cat could take care of itself and Rosalie would fight to the death to protect it.

“I also expect you to replace all the items your cat has destroyed.”Edward told Rosalie.

Rosalie laughed.”I’ll do no such things as it is your own fault that the things were ruined.”

“How is it my fault?”Edward didn’t do anything worthy of the cat targeting him.

“The cat only went after your stuff when you were rude to me or it. So if you want it to leave you alone you need to start respecting both of us and after it attacked you physically I would be more respectful towards the queen as well.”Rosalie wasn’t at fault for her cat acting out. It was just responding to Edward’s mouth.

“I’m not going to change the way I speak to or about anyone. You are going to keep you cat on a leash from now on so that you know where it is and will stop it from touching other people’s stuff.”Edward wouldn’t change how he acted just to appease a cat.

“Then say good bye to your stuff.”Rosalie wasn’t going to put the cat on a leash. Not only would it be mean she didn’t think the cat was doing anything wrong.

“Carlisle tell her to keep her cat on a leash.”Edward knew his sire would back him up.

“I honestly don’t think the cat would even be able to be contained with a leash.”Alice didn’t think a cage with 4 inch thick steal bars would contain the cat.

“True Queenie isn’t one to be forced to do anything.”Emmett said.

“Carlisle tell her.”Edward needed Carlisle to make the rule.

“I”m sorry Edward but I can’t make Rosalie put her cat on a leash. Yes it would be nice for it not to destroy your things but I can’t in good conscience trap an innocent animal that way.”Carlisle told him.

“The cat isn’t innocent.”Edward didn’t understand why no one but him saw what a danger the cat was.

“Regardless if it is or isn’t I think you need to go hunt. The fact that venom didn’t heal your wounds is concerning. Maybe after you feed they will close up.”Carlisle wasn’t sure why the wounds weren’t healing.

“That is another reason the cat should be contained. It can hurt us.”Edward thought his wounds were more proof that the cat should be killed.

“Go hunt. I’m worried about your wounds.”Angela had never seen a vampire with cuts like Edward’s before and it was very disturbing.

“I’ll be back soon. Stay away from the cat.”Edward didn’t want his mate anywhere near the cat.

“I will.”Angela didn’t need to be told. She never went near the cat willingly due to its hatred of Edward for fear it would take it’s aggression out on her because they were mated.

Carlisle watched him rush off with a frown on his face.”I really worry about his wounds.”

“If they don’t heal will Edward be stuck living with a face that is covered in cat scratches?”Alice asked.

“It they don’t heal then I would like to study the cat to find out why it happened so that we may find a way to heal him.”Carlisle and the rest of the group flinched when Rosalie growled and the cat reached out it’s paw towards Carlisle and hissed.

“You are not experimenting on my cat.”Rosalie would kill anyone who even suggested such a thing.

“We need to find a way to heal Edward’s scars. Studying the cat is the only way to do that.”Carlisle told her.

“Not happening.”Rosalie wouldn’t allow it.

“Carlisle I think you should secure and protect the things you truly care about because based on the glare the cat is giving you I predict you are going to be it’s next target.”Emmett had seen the look the cat was giving Carlisle before. It was the look it gave Edward before destroying his stuff.

“Yeah you are.”Alice agreed with Emmett. The cat was going after Carlisle.

“The cat doesn’t know what we are talking about. It has no reason to target me.”Carlisle wasn’t worried about the cat going after him.

Rosalie looked at Queenie glaring at Carlisle.”Oh you are definitely her next target.”

“Rosalie it’s your turn.”Jasper called out.

“Are you going to leave your cat here?”Emmett asked.

“Why do you not want me to?”Rosalie had just planned on letting the cat do what she wanted.

“No I’m just curious of what it’s going to do when you’re fighting.”Emmett didn’t really want the cat to stay with them without Rosalie being there to break up any fights it was involved in.

In response the cat climbed onto Rosalie’s shoulder and curled around her neck.”I guess I’m taking my cat with me.”

“Can you fight with the cat on your shoulder?”Emily didn’t think it would be a good idea to have a cat involved in a vampire fight.

“I’ll be fine.”Rosalie wasn’t worried about Queenie. Based on the fact that she was able to hurt Edward and Jacob Rosalie predicted she would be a great help.

“Do we want to take bets on how soon the cat beats Jasper?”Emmett asked as he watched Rosalie take a fighting stance across from Jasper. The cat was now standing on Rosalie’s shoulder with it’s entire focus on the former major.

“Do we really believe the cat will beat the best fighter in the family?”Angela thought the cat would likely be flung off of Rosalie’s shoulder the first time the vampire moved.

“We are about to find out.”Jacob said as saw Jasper wave his hand and Rosalie took off towards him. Right as Jasper blocked Rosalie’s punch and moved to put her in a headlock the cat pounced on his head and put it paws in his eyes. That gave Rosalie the chance while Jasper was fighting to get the cat away from his eyes to get her arms around Jasper’s neck causing her to win the fight. As soon as Jasper called it the cat jumped back to Rosalie’s shoulder and laid across her neck again.

“What the fuck?”Carlisle mumbled.

Alice wasn’t sure what shocked her more Carlisle swearing or the fact that the cat just actively helped Rosalie easily win against the best fighter in the group.”What even just happened?”

“The cat just proved that it is a better fighter than most if not all of the group.”Seth was now even happier that he didn’t fight the cat.

“I told all of you there is something not right about that cat.”Fran said when she made it back to the group.

“I don’t know about you guys but I’m just happy the cat is on our side. I don’t even want to imagine if it was truly against us.”Emmett said the others murmuring their agreement. He was going to go out of his way to be nice to the cat. Starting with a shopping trip to a pet store as soon as they were done training to buy some toys and treats for it. He would have to ask Rosalie what else it liked as he wanted to get on its good side so it didn’t go after him or his mate. Emmett hoped that some bribery would appease it as he didn’t want to end up like Edward and soon to be Carlisle. His sire may not believe that the cat would target him but Emmett was positive it would. Especially if Carlisle insisted on studying it. Something after seeing it helping Rosalie fight was definitely going to be brought up again. That was why Emmett was also going to be extra nice to Rosalie as well. Maybe he would buy her some gifts. He would talk to Fran about it after training. Now he wanted to continue watching Rosalie and her cat beat on Jasper. Hopefully she would take on a wolf next. Emmett really wanted to see how the cat would stack up. He expected to be pleasantly surprised and thoroughly entertained.
