The treaty wasn't far. The field that separated our homes from the trees was large but in our wolf forms, we were able to run across it within seconds. Before we could slip through the bushes, the vamps were standing in formation doing some weird statue pose like they were waiting for the flash of a canon camera. I huffed and rolled my eyes.
"You call for us, Jacob?" Carlisle begins.
I show my thoughts to Edward. He gasps. Surely the sight of blood damn near drove him insane.
"I am perfectly in control, dog." He growls slightly offended.
"What is going on?" The mother vamp interviews.
"A human girl washed up on the shore at their beach. She was badly beaten and even had a gash on her leg. It was very big, she also looks as if she lost a lot of blood. Jacob says he smelled a vampire on her but it was very faint. Probably washed away by the water." The vampires look at each other. Concern etched on the mother's face as well as everyone except the blonde female who casually looked at her dead nails.
"I am sorry to hear that. Would you like for me to look at her for you?" Doctor vamp was always so concerned about the health of others even our own. I guess I can't hate him too much.
It was you who were supposed to watch out for vampires on your side. Maybe the one that got her jumped towards the cliffs and threw her over. There has to be some scent flowing through the wind over there. I growl. We were promised a night of peace. Yet even with them trying to work with us, they couldn't get it right. Patrolling was not a problem but everyone in a while unlike them, we are allowed to be one with our human selves every once in a while.
"Do not blame us Jacob. My second thought is that maybe the vampire had passed not too long ago. Maybe today she happened to fall into the water trying to get away. We can gladly take a look over her to make sure she has no venom in her system. I assure you that on our side, there were no nomads. But since you want to place blame, maybe you should have been more aware of your surroundings." This little bastard was challenging me.
I won't hesitate to jump over there and rip out your throat. My pack growls beside me agreeing to take them all down.
"Now, there is no need for arguments. I assure you it is neither sides fault. Perhaps when she awakes, she will tell everyone everything. For the meantime, maybe Edward and I could be of assistance. Edward can use his mind reading abilities to see what she saw before what happened and I can help with medication and bandages." The doctor vamp insisted. This wouldn't be the first time they have crossed the treaty as he has helped almost all of us from life threatening attacks from nomads.
Fine. But if you say a single snide comment Edward I will rip you to shreds. Don't forget youll be on our territory. I give a wolf chuckle as I see a shiver go up his spine.
"Watch what you say, Edward." The pixie finally speaks. It Appears she could see the feuture and his wasn't so bright anymore.
"Everything will be fine. I will be back with the equipment." They disappeared quickly.
EMILY
The girl was badly bruised but seem as though she would stay alive. Sue was out of stitching needles so hopefully, Jake was bringing back the doctor to help. The gash bled through the wrap put on the girls' leg. But the bruises weren't the only bad things. The worst part was that while we cleaned her, there were over ten vampire bites in her skin underneath all the thick mud. Two on her neck, two on her left breast, one on her right, three on her right arm three on her right going down to her feet. Panic set in me as I realized we may have a girl who is changing into a vampire.
"Leah, call for them!" I scream and she hurries outside phasing right outside the door shaking the house. She let out a loud howl that almost broke my eardrums.
"Let's put some clothes on the girl." Sue insists. I go to my room and find a fresh pair of underwear and a large t-shirt. We slip the clothes on hoping for the guys to hurry.
LEAH
I can't believe we have a girl on our land and she is changing into one of them. All I need is one word, and her head will be off.
Now hold on Leah. We brought the doc and the mind reader. Until we can confirm anything, we need to let them check her out. Jacob and the gang came out. The fangs came out behind them. The blonde one greeted me while the mind reader looked around at everyone as if he was disgusted. I threatened him the thought to pee on him and he grimaced.
"Disgusting." His voice was low but everyone heard. Instead of being offended, everyone laughed.
"May we enter?" Blondie asks. Always so formal.
"Sure. After me." Jake and Sam had phased back quickly and led them inside.
What if she is becoming a vamp? Paul says.
We tear her apart. I say in a 'duh' tone.
Woah guys, she can just go with the Cullen's they seem like they will take her in. Seth, the softie says and the twins Colin and Brady agree. The most innocent of us all. The pups.
She could be a danger as soon as she wakes up. No chances. I growl. We sat outside the house listening in on what everyone was saying.
EDWARD
The young woman lying on the make shift operating table was absolutely breath taking. Her eyes were closed but I had already fallen in love. She had the longest eye lashes and the plumpest lips. She was intensely pale and thin. I looked over he more and noticed the bites that covered her skin. They'd healed but I could still smell the venom beneath them. Her heartbeat was faint and her breathing was shallow. I looked at Carlisle and could tell he thought the same thing. The girl could be changing.
"So?" Jacob says. He is standing at the girls' feet. He always did annoy me. I wanted him away from the beautiful doll.
"She may be undergoing a change. The venom, we can still smell it. Her heart beat is too faint to keep her alive for much longer we don't know when it will be complete since the bites seem aged. It could have happened today or yesterday." I glance at Carlisle ready to pick the girl up.
"But the bites don't look fresh." Sam states.
"Vampire venom heals just as quickly as your genes heal you. The bits could have sealed. This scent, though...this scent is one I have not smelled in a really long time. The vampire or vampires that have done this have not stepped foot in the Forks area. I promise you." Carlisle explains.
"So, you know who bit her. Your friends." Jacob growled.
"They aren't friends anymore. I removed myself from them a long time ago. And if I am correct she was not born in the area either. She was born outside the country." I looked into Carlisle's head to get a better understanding of what he meant and almost fell to my knees at who the thought it would be.
"No." My voice shook.
"What? What is it?" Jacob looks confused glancing between myself and Carlisle to get answers.
"We will take her from here. We will update you on her state as soon as she wakes up. If she is a threat we will leave and relocated to keep you tribe safe." I start to gather the sweet-smelling girl into my arms and set her into a bridal semi fetus position and supported her head. Even while moving her, she made no noise of discomfort.
"No, you can't take her. Not until you spill."
"Jacob, we are unable to confirm any information at the moment but I assure you, you all are safe. We will have to take her either way she may be going through the process of a change. Newborns can be very hectic when they first awaken." We make our way to the door and stop.
"As soon as possible." Jacob orders.
"Of course." Carlisle and I speed off past the other wolves. They snapped and growled at us. Their thoughts creaming hateful words and demanding we kill her the moment she awakens but that will not happen. Not on my watch.
When we made it back to the mansion, Carlisle insisted on stitching up her leg seeing as it was very poorly wrapped in thin medical fabric. The stitching process did not take long. After, he wrapped in again, properly and injected painkillers into her system. Alice took her away to dress her properly and placed her in my bed as I demanded once she was done. And may I say she did an amazing job. The young woman looked as though she were meant to be mine. The blue shirt that she wore fit her well with lace at the top and a pair of blue jeans. Her dark brown hair was brushed into light waves around her face making her look radiant.
After a while of admiring her beauty, I realize I cannot read her mind. My brow furrowed as I tried harder but nothing. I called Alice up and she says she can see her future perfectly fine. According to her, she was still unconscious.
"Maybe it is a gift working its way through before the change is complete." Carlisle insisted.
"Maybe." I agreed. I decided to lay in my bed beside her unwilling to leave her side. "I cannot wait to see you, my love." I lightly kiss her forehead and my eyes never left her face for the night.
