The day we met
Frozen I held my breath
'A thousand Years' - Christina Perri
Hey. I know this has been done quite a number of times but I wanted a fresh twist on it. I don't own twilight! Enjoy.
Jane shuddered as the sound of howls echoed behind her. She knew what that meant. She was being hunted down. She had come across one and killed it but others had followed like rats rushing towards a piece of cheese. She couldn't kill them all. Not on her own.
So she was running. Running towards the nearest sanctuary possible.
The Cullens.
The bowl in Alice's hands fell as images flew through her mind. Rosalie caught it but gave Alice a confused look. Alice stood motionless while the images flashed before her eyes. 'Alice.' Rosalie said. Alice stood for a moment more before twirling around and heading towards the living room.
Edward, Renesmee, Jacob, Emmett and Bella were in there laughing and joking around. Or at least the rest were. Edward had gotten a play by play of Alice's vision and he stood up as she came in.
'How much time do we have?' He asked, concerned. 'Not enough.' Alice replied. The happy mood dissolved and Bella stood up. 'What's wrong?' Edward turned to her while Alice turned to Jacob who had instinctively tightened his hold on Renesmee.
'I need you to get your pack here fast.' Jacob frowned. 'What's going on?' Renesmee asked. 'We're having a visitor.' Edward said sourly. Jacob gently pulled away from Renesmee and went outside. The sound of cloth ripping drifted through and a howl was heard.
A few moments passed and another howl was heard. 'Visitor?' Renesmee echoed. 'Jane.' Edward said. Renesmee groaned. 'Not her. She's such a bitch.' She said as she buried her head in a pillow.
Bella ignored her daughter for a moment and focused on Edward. 'Is she going to cause trouble?' She asked. Edward looked to Alice who shook her head.
'I don't know. She's bringing…wolves with her.' Alice said. 'I can see these ones but I don't know what they are or what they can do.' Emmett grinned. 'Alright! I'm tired of throwing around the ones we have here anyway.'
Alice shot a glare at him before turning back to Edward. 'Can you get to Esme and Carlisle in time?' Edward nodded and sped out the door. Bella looked in the direction of his exit before turning back to her daughter.
'Do you want to go to La Push or do you stay here and be stubborn?' She asked. Renesmee took the pillow off her head. 'How could you ask? I'm obviously staying.' She got up with a grin and went outside. 'She gets more like you every day, Bells.' Emmett said.
Bella ignored him and went outside too. Leah and Seth were already there as were Embry and Paul. They were stalking around, obviously very uneasy at being called out of the blue. Renesmee was next to Jacob and he was nuzzling her.
Rosalie, Emmett and Alice followed her out the door. Distant howls could be heard and the wolves tensed. Whatever it was, it didn't sound friendly. A few rustles were heard and Bella saw Edward, Carlisle, Esme and Jasper come out.
Jasper flew to Alice and they hugged. Edward was back at Bella's side and their fingers intertwined. Bella opened her mind to him.
Is this going to cause trouble? Should I send Renesmee away?
Not to my knowledge. Let's see how this goes.
He squeezed her hand and Bella gave him a little smile. The howls grew closer and Jacob picked up Jane's scent.
She's almost here.
Edward nodded and the wolves took a defensive position around the house. Bella threw her shield around everyone just in case. The rustles grew closer until a figure emerged from the trees, cloaked in the long dark robes of the Volturi.
Jane arrived at the house of the Cullens, her hair tangled with leaves and her robe wrapped around her. Her eyes took in the wolves and their defensive position. They were expecting a fight. Jane thought of leaving them and letting the other wolves take care of her problem but a raised brow from Edward shot that plan to hell.
'You already know why I'm here.' Jane said coolly. 'Are you going to help me or shall I seek it elsewhere?' Carlisle stepped forward. 'If we don't? He asked. Jane shrugged. 'I leave. Although I'm not sure Aro would take the news well.'
Edward scowled and Jane smiled smugly at him. Carlisle seemed to think about it before nodding. 'Only this once, Jane.' Jane nodded as she stepped forward. 'I don't intend to make this a habit.' She said as she walked over to them.
The wolves growled as Jane walked towards them but she ignored them. It was just as well because the howls got closer and the trees began to shake. Jane turned towards their direction, her eyes blazing as the first wolf emerged.
He was bigger than the average sized Quileute. His coat was a black as night and his eyes flashed. Jacob stood in front of the Cullens and the wolf paused. More wolves were starting to creep out of the woods and they stood behind the first wolf. It was obvious that he was their alpha.
He and Jacob stood in front of each other, obvious communicating. The darker wolf looked at Jane with hate shining in his eyes and a small jolt of fear went through Jane. Unconsciously, she sent a flash of pain towards him and he growled. He started towards her but Jacob stood in front of him, blocking his path.
The other wolves behind him stepped forward to defend him but he stopped them. He stared at Jacob for a while longer before slightly backing away.
He wants us to phase back so we can talk.
Jacob looked at Edward and Edward relayed the message to Carlisle. Carlisle nodded to Jacob and Jacob went to the woods. The other members of the Quileute shifted uncomfortably. The wolf kept his eyes on Jane, focusing on her.
She didn't need to be a mind reader to know what was going on in his mind. Edward pushed her behind him and she glared at him.
Because I ask for your help doesn't mean you hold power over me.
Edward felt irritation spike up in him but ignored her words. Jacob came out as a man again and the dark wolf grunted in approval before he began to shift back. Edward was afraid he was going to appear naked in front of them and briefly thought about Renesmee.
Fortunately for them, he shifted in his full clothing. He was tall, and light skinned. His hair was as jet black as his coat and it was long. His eyes were a piercing steel blue. He had a lean frame and was slightly muscular.
'So these are the mighty Cullens.' He said. Jane shivered slightly at the sound of his voice. It was strong but not over powering. It had a strange lilt to it, something she couldn't put a finger on. 'You know of us?' Carlisle asked.
A small slow smile crept up on the werewolf's face. 'How can I not? News of the only coven to stand up to the Volturi travels fast.' Jane growled slightly. The werewolf's ears twitched slightly. 'You may call me Corvus. My pack and I offer no trouble. We're here for the Volturi guard.'
'She's under our protection.' Edward said. Corvus looked at Edward. 'She killed one of ours. I simply want to collect on a debt.' Edward and Carlisle shared a glance. This was heading down hill and they knew it. Rosalie pushed Renesmee behind her, catching the shared glance between her brother and father.
Corvus caught the glance and sighed. 'Very well. We'll fight here. I kill her and I'll have the Volturi on my tail. She kills me and the rest of my pack leave.' One of the wolves moved towards Corvus but he held his hand up and the wolf stopped.
Edward looked to Carlisle again and Jane sighed. There was no point in discussing any further. He'd given a challenge and she planned to accept it. She pushed past Edward and Bella.
'I'm right here if you want to settle this.'
Corvus turned to her, a cold glare in his eyes but he stopped as soon as their eyes met. Various emotions flashed through his face.
Shock
Confusion
Realization
Dread
He stumbled back a bit and so did Jane. She couldn't understand what was happening. One moment, she harbored intense hate towards the creature and the next moment, she felt a pull to him unlike any other. It was unsettling. She didn't like it and yet she wanted more of it.
Jacob looked between the two, realizing what had happened. Oh shit. Edward read it through Jacob's mind and chuckled dryly. Bella looked up at him.
What's going on?
It seems they've…imprinted.
The thought came to me and refused to budge. Corvus of course is a proper werewolf but not all the rules apply. He shifts with his clothes on as seen and silver doesn't affect him.
He has a pack but a small one. The new moon affects them but they are not rouge. They can communicate with the Quileute but only the Alpha's. Non Alpha's are closed off to them. They are definitely stronger than the Quileute and their venom is stronger.
Hope it's still a plausible notion. Read and review if you have complaints or suggestions. I might need a Beta Reader for this so if anyone wants to suggest anything, feel free.
