AN: It's finally up and ready to go!
Summary Continued: But when the attacks take an unexpected turn and bring them into a danger they'd never dreamed of, it'll take a lot more than the pack's strength to conquer the vampires. They must rely on an even stronger ally, belonging to legends long since lost to them.
October Green walked through the trees; her fingers lightly brushing along the bark. Of the trees. It was here, one hundred yards from La Push; her home that she felt most at peace. She's your normal average teen who lives with her mother, fifteen years old with red hair on the top brown on the bottom. Eyes as green like her mother's. And as for the reason for the two colors in her hair; two-toned.
However, October also knew that this is where she was most at risk. Recently she'd been the victim of several attacks. Though the reasons were unknown. They'd found out after the first attack; which October was actually bitten, that the venom took no affect her; an intense heat and nothing more… so far.
October sighed a bit. This wouldn't have been such a problem if the attackers weren't so familiar with the territory around La Push, or the protectors of it.
She did have one thing she could rely on though, and that was the protectors of La Push; the wolves. Even as she walked she knew that one or two of them were following her every movement.
It was slightly annoying, yet comforting.
October knew that the wolves were protecting her and that they were trying everything to help her. But still. She knew that part of the problem rested with her slightly overprotective boyfriend, Seth Clearwater. Who never left her alone excluding her going home to her very religious mother, her competitions, and their time alone at his house.
Her cousin from her father's side, December Green, would be angry if she could hear her thoughts. 'It comes with the territory.'
She would be scolded.
She doesn't understand. October thought. Embry lets her walk around by herself. Go places without having to worry....she's so lucky.
But... she argued. Dece can defend herself… She's a wolf too.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a snap of branches to her left. She drew a shaky breath; her heart quickened its pace. As if it were trying to alert the vampire of her location, ready to kill.
Before she could make and attempt at running, she saw the vampire advancing her. It had caught her scent. No chance of running now.
It stalked toward her, teeth bared in an overly theatrical attempt of scaring her. However, thankfully, October had grown used to the constant attacks so much so that she now accepted them as her daily routine. She knew that there was no reason to fear. For any moment one of the wolves would burst through the trees to save her.
October began to count the seconds as her heart pounded harder, her eyes closed.
Where were they? She thought as the vampire came closer. October took a step back in response, shaking slightly as she stared into the vampires burgundy eyes. He wasn't hungry, and he was in control of himself. She looked into his eyes as she saw something.
Lust filled…. She thought as she understood why he was after her.
October turned on her heels and ran, knowing that the vampire had more than lunch in mind. However, she had barely made it two yards when the vampire caught her, slamming her to the ground, over her slightly startled body.
"Seth!" October cried, flailing as the vampire breathed on her neck; eyes wide as she took a quick look at the male on her.
Not even two seconds as she cried for Seth, two wolves burst through the trees, one going for the vampire, the other standing back patiently, but the wolfs eyes were flicking back and forth.
Listening... October thought.
The other wolf lunged and knocked the vampire away. Instantly October was released, but was sent flying from the impact of the wolf on vampire.
October skidded across the ground, knocking her head against something hard and shredding her leg across the rough bark beneath the trees causing her to cry out as she rolled. When she came to a stop, everything began to spin, head throbbed.
Have to move....have to run. She thought groggily, trying to stand. She wobbled for a moment, and then fell again. However, she landed in someone's arms.
She looked up and saw the outline of her cousin's face as she was lifted up.
"Dece..." October whispered, nuzzling to her chest. December smiled and held her cousin a bit tighter as she turned and ran; making sure that she wasn't jostling October.
As they moved, October felt her mind sharpen slightly, the concussion already fading. She vaguely heard Dece whispering something
"These attacks are getting worse..." She hissed. She was being motherly yet over protective of her younger cousin. As if she was a sibling or daughter, though not nearly as bad as Seth.
October smiled a bit and nuzzled as pain flashed through her leg. Looking up, she saw a large gash running along her leg. She groaned a bit when she saw it.
"My gymnastics final" she whimpered, then realized a larger problem. She couldn't attend the finals anymore. It was not even a week away.
"Seth..." she sighed in annoyance, causing her cousin to laugh as they entered Emily's house.
"He's going find out" December told her, a small smirk placing across her lips as October gasped and tried to stand, but couldn't.
"Not if you don't tell him!"
"Well I won't, but he'll find out anyways" Dece pointed out.
She scowled. "Damn."
December sighed.
"It comes with the-"
"territory" October finished. "But it gets so annoying. It's not like you understand"
December blinked as she set her cousin down.
"What do you mean?''
"Well, you never spoke to Embry before you started dating him, and he was afraid of rejection because of the way you treated him."
December cringed at the memory, regretting her actions. Her cousin was right though, she never gave Embry the time of day before she imprinted him.
"So because of that, he never had the chance to protect you, unless it was in private without you knowing. Then you phased and could protect yourself."
December nodded as she stroked her chin thoughtfully. Her cousin made a good point; she really didn't know what it was like.
"I guess you're right then." Dece allowed as the door opened and Seth entered the room, frowning.
"Yeah......." October whispered.
December nodded and waved as she stood to leave as Seth walked in, her cousin letting out a groan as she saw her boyfriend. December, after closing the door, snickered.
"Have fun."
