Jasper's Princess 1

Chapter Nine: Safe

"Bye daddy, see you later, love you." I blew him air kisses as Paul began walking to the res. 

"Do you want to get a ride to the res or do you want to walk?"

"Can I walk today?"

"Of course but you need to hold my hand at all times, otherwise I will have to carry you." I nodded and we began walking." 

"Did Emily cook anyting today" 

"Of course she did, she even set food aside for you."

"Willy!"

"Yep."

"Can I pick some flowers for Emily?" 

"I think that is a lovely idea." Paul let go of my hand so I could pick up some flowers. I grabbed some purple lilies and some purple and white wildflowers. Once I decided I had enough I wrapped a flower around them to make sure they stayed together. "Paul can you pick me up? My wegs hurt."

"Of course I can." He picked me up and swung me around so I was on his back. It felt like forever until we got to Emily's. I jumped off of Paul's back and fell down. "Owwie that hurt." 

"Sweetie, why didn't you wait for me?"

"I don't know I just need to bwing Emily her flowers."

"I know your excited but next time you wait for me to put you down so you don't hurt yourself."

"Otay, I sowwy."

"It's okay princess I just don't want you to get hurt, cause then everyone would be worried about you." 

"Oh I understwand. I sowwy, you don't have to wowwy about me."

"I know princess. Come on lets get you inside everyone missed you."

As I walked in Seth pulled me into a tight hug. "Sethy, your squiching me!" He let go laughing at me. I walked into the kitchen and gave Emily a big hug. "Hi sweetie. How are you today?" 

"I'm good, do you have food rwedy?" 

"I have a question Lena. How old are you right now?"

"I'm dis many." I held up three fingers to show her. "Okay sweetie lets get you ready for lunch." She took me the bathroom to wash my hands because the sink was lower. She helped me wash my hands then led me to the table. I sat in a chair and Paul and Jake sat on either side of me. 

"What would you like to do today Lena?"

"Well Jakey I would like to go down to the beach and look for seashells." 

"We haven't done that in a while, I think it is a great plan." After Jake stopped talking I looked up to see Emily holding my plate. She sat down next to me and began feeding my food. I had a burger, fries, and potato salad. She put some lemonade in one of my sippy cups and I was taking sips in between bites. Emily helped me wipe my face and my hands. She cleared the table with the help of Paul. Everyone decided that they would do the dishes when we got back. 

Jake carried me on his back until we got to the beach. I waited for him to set me down instead of jumping off. It was a much easier process. I took my shoes off and started walking along the shore line. Seth started walking next to me. "You wanna help me find seashells?" 

"I would love to." I started giggling at his response. He found a piece of sea weed and started chasing me. "Eww! that's nasty stop it." I noticed that some of the other boys were chasing me too. I tried to speed up but I slipped on the wet sand. I started crying because my clothes were wet and covered in sand. "Emily I'm dirty, and it itches." 

"Lets go back my cottage and I can help you take a bath and you can change into one of your outfits that you have here." 

"Otay. Tank you very much." Once we returned to the cottage Emily took me straight to the bathroom. She helped me take a bath with very good smelling soap. She picked up a pair of my overalls and a t-shirt. "Tank you Emily." 

"Of course sweetie anytime." We got out of the bathroom and all the boys were sitting in the living room they all looked sad. "What's wong guys?"

"We didn't mean for you to fall and we are all really sorry." 

"I'm not mad sillies it's not your fault, I just twipped and fell." They all did a big sigh like they were holding their breath. 

"Elena, we have to get you back to the border so Jasper can take you home." This time Jake brought me home. When we got to the border I waited for Jake to set me down and I ran to daddy.

"Is everything okay she is wearing different clothes?"

"Everything is good, she just tripped at the beach and fell in the sand at the shoreline. Emily gave her a bath and some clean clothes."

"Jacob, can you tell Emily I said thank you."

"Of course have a good evening."

This time daddy held me bridal style and sped us home. I didn't mind I was tired anyway. Today was a great day. I had no vision no scary vampires. Just my big goofy brothers it was nice to feel safe and protected. It was nice to have a day with my family on the res.
