Aria could tell when her best friend was uncomfortable. She didn't need any gifts to read her best friends feelings. She had spent enough time with her and it seemed like Orina hadn't changed to much since they last met. She squeezed Orina's hand and smiled at her.
"Now where are we going?" she asked trying to lighten the mood. She could tell that all of the Cullen's mood had changed drastically from the mention of the others.

Orina tried not to listen in on Jasper's conversation with Alice because it was rude to listen in, but couldn't help it. Her ears were quite sensitive... but that was no excuse. Orina pretended not to hear because she wasn't sure if he was addressing everyone or just Alice but she could barely hide her emotions because she was puzzled with what Jasper introduced. She didn't understand any of it and to avoid the risk of getting in trouble, she didn't bother to ask. The whole "everyone seems to be a vampire here in Forks" was something she still had to get used to.

Bella looked into Edward's eyes and squeezed his hand as he grasped hers. "No, I'm fine. Thanks though." She told him. Then when he thrust her behind him and told her to be quiet her heart stopped. Was it James? A few moments passed and they were all still, but when Jasper popped out of the clearing Bella sighed in relief and relaxed. She then got out from behind Edward and waved. Bella then glared at Aria and was glad Jasper was here to calm all of them before murder broke out between Edward and someone....
Bella loosed her death grip on Edward's hand and relaxingly, held it in hers. "So where too?" She asked the group which now included five vampires and herself. Awkward...no, not a bit.

"Um..." Orina trailed off, "I suggest that you decide." Orina suggested, "because you seem to know where everything is..." She trailed off. Her voice got smaller because she realized that everything was quiet. With so many things going wrong, Orina started to wonder once more if it was good to come out here in the first place. She missed her home: her home in Arizona. Maybe coming to Forks was a bad idea.
Orina had to stay though because her cousin was getting married and she promised her adopted mother that she would stay for the wedding. It was Bella's wedding after all and Bella was the first friend she had made since Aria... if she could consider Bella a friend.

ooc: do you mean that Aria isn't going to join us?
"Well if we are going to eat then I will be skipping out on this one." She mentioned, for obvious reasons. "But we can meet up after lunch correct?" She asked. Orina didn't want Aria to feel left out because she wasn't... invited... to go eat lunch at the Italian restaurant.

Aria got the message loud and clear. She knew that they didn't want her there in the first place, but she though they were different from the other vampires she had meet. Apparently not, they were exactly the same. They hadn't even given her a chance. If only Alice had realized her mistake then.
"Don't bother." she said "I said when I talked to Orina I would leave. I'm not one to go back on my word so I'll be leaving now."

"Aria!" Orina complained, "Don't leave..." she begged. "You just got here and I haven't seen you in a few years..." She really wanted Aria to stay. It didn't feel right for Aria to leave so fast and sudden... just when Orina had broken through the barrier and gotten used to Aria. Sure, it had been awkward at first, but that was only because they hadn't seen each other in a while and didn't know how they had survived with their 'condition'.
"How about you guys go ahead and Aria and I will go exploring by ourselves?" Orina suggested.

Edward sighed at the turn things had taken and locked eyes with Alice. Easy, his stare seemed to say. Do we really need another enemy right now?
The truth was, Edward still wasn't any closer to determining whether or not Aria was someone who could be trusted. But what he was certain of was the fact that he didn't want a fight breaking out between them all right now. Not in the middle of Port Angeles and certainly not with Bella there. Briefly Edward wondered if things would have turned out differently had Aria visited at any other time than now. They were all on edge with the sudden reappearance of James and that didn't exactly make for a pleasant welcoming committee. But there was really no helping it...
"Whatever pleases you," he said, addressing Orina and Aria. If they wanted to join them in the restaurant, he wouldn't argue. But he felt uncomfortable standing out in the open like this. Perhaps this James situation was making him paranoid. He turned to Bella and gave her hand a small squeeze.
"Any objections, love?" he asked her quietly.
