What really happened to Laurent
He took off, panting desperately, from fear. It had been centuries since Laurent had felt such fear, but, hey, there was a first time for everything. The wolves howled behind him, panting with eagerness; they could smell his fear.
With an anguished cry, Laurent spun to face his fate. The five wolves circled him, no mercy in their eyes. As one, they tensed, leaped, and that was the end of Laurent.
"So...Now what?" Embry asked.
Jacob glanced at him.
"What do you mean, now what?"
"Well..." Embry spread his arms. "We run down this bloodsucker, which makes the wolf side of me recall primal days where we tracked down moose and stuff. Now, back then, after the hunt, the reward was food. What's the motivation for hunting down leeches?"
Four boys stared at him.
"One less vampire to kill innocent humans." Sam reminded him.
"One less leech to become a danger to our land." Jared added.
"One less-" Paul began.
"Yeah, yeah, we save lives and stuff, but I'm not feeling the lovey-gooey feeling of doing the right thing. What do we get out of taking time out of our busy schedules to hunt down stupid vamps?"
"..."
"You know what?" Jacob declared. "Since you're all hung up on getting something out of this-" He grabbed Embry. "Here you go!" Jacob stuffed a handful of vampire remains into Embry's hand. He stared at it in disgust.
"What the hell is this?" He demanded.
"You're the one who wants to get something out of it. Eat it!" Jared grinned.
"What?!"
"Come on!" Paul got into it. "Remember? The 'primal' side of you remembers eating after a hunt."
"So you guys expect me to eat some nasty hunks of a leech who has been who knows where, doing who knows what, and probably taken a shower who knows when!?"
"You got yourself into this." Sam said.
"Do it! Do it! Do it!" All of them chanted.
Embry stared at the sparkling hunks in his hand. A less knowlegable person might have assumed they were rocks. Screwing up his face, Embry Call ate a little bit of vampire flesh.
"Eww..." Paul wrinkled his nose.
Sam gaped at him.
"You...actually...ate...it."
"Pay up, Jared." Jacob grinned smugly. "You owe me fifty dollars."
"So...What'd taste like?" Jared said curiously.
"...Sweet. Like hard candy."
"..."
"Let me try!"
"Move! I want the arm!"
"Awesome! I get the thigh!"
"Um...None of you are bothered by the fact that this was a leech we just killed? A leech that ate billions of humans? A leech that-" Sam Uley was cut off by a fistful of toes. His eyes grew wide. "Out of my way!" He yelled crazily. "I want the head!"
"Ugh..." Paul doubled over. "I can't believe we ate that bloodsucker!"
"Do you think it'll do anything to us?" Embry looked concerned.
"Bit too late to worry about that." Jacob moaned.
"Hey, guys, what's up?" Bella Swan came out of the fog and sat next to the guys who were on the porch of Sam's house. "Are you okay?" She demanded.
"Yeah...Just peachy." Jared said weakly.
And that is the real reason the pack is so determined to bring any and all vampires down. They taste like candy! Different flavors for every one. Laurent tasted like pina colada and lime.
