Chapter 1
Edward left me last November.
I went through a rough patch, not talking to anyone, going on auto pilot. It wasn't until Charlie talked about sending me to Renee that I snapped out of it. I realized that I was only hurting myself and everyone around me by doing this. If Edward had really loved me he wouldn't have left me, especially in a fucking forest. So I got close to Jake.
Right when I was sure Jake and I were going to start dating he completely ignored me and wouldn't except my calls. I got fed up and went to yell at his ass and, BOOM, he imprinted on me smack dab in the front of his house. The supernatural council contacted them and they are now a world renounced pack of wolves. We have been living a fairly happy life since.
The pack were hesitant to accept me at first but when Paul made a "Necrophilia" comment I went off on him, and cussed him and the Cullens out and n ow I am an official member of the Pack. I also called him Cujo. Needless to say, me and Leah are best friends now.
Speaking of Leah…
"Hey whore, you got anything to eat in this house?" Leah called as she burst through my front door and went straight to the kitchen, a snickering Quil and Jared following her.
I rolled my eyes and got off the couch, waving at Quil and Jared as I passed them. "Do not eat all of my food, you fat ass!"
"Come on Bella, we are growing boys who need their nutrients. Leah too." Quil complained and swung his arm around my shoulder, causing me to get knocked off balance a bit.
Leah called over her shoulder as she found the cookies in the cabinet and held them p triumphantly, "If we return her to Jacob in worse condition than when we got her, we're blaming you."
Quil paled and removed his arm carefully while Jared laughed and hopped up on my counter, looking like a beast in my small kitchen.
"I like how you all talk about me like I'm not here. 'Oh its my turn to keep Bella this week!' I'm not an object." I said sarcastically and crossed my arms, pouting.
"Oh you're not an object, you're our object." Leah soothed and flashed me a grin.
"That makes me feel better." I said dryly.
" We know it does. Hurry up, Leah! We need to make it to the meeting." Jared said impatiently and hopped off the counter and pulled me with him to the door.
"Wait! What meeting?" I asked as I was pulled, rather rudely out of my house.
"Pack business. We came across a strange scent while patrolling and Sam is calling a meeting to talk about it." Quil explained and jumped into the drivers side of my truck and I got pushed into the middle with Leah in the passenger side and Jared in the bed of the truck.
"And I'm going to be there why?" I questioned, then widened my eyes in horror, "Is Jake okay? Is he hurt? Why didn't someone get me soo-"
Leah slapped her hand over my mouth and laughed at me, "Down girl. Your precious Jacob is fine, we just thought you might know something about it since you were with the Cullens for a while and you might've heard something."
"Oh. Why didn't you just say that?" I demanded.
She shook her head at me in amusement and the rest of the car ride was spent in silence. We pulled into the Uley driveway and Jake was waiting on the porch for me. The second the engine was cut he was there opening the door and yanking Quil out to reach me. I laughed at Quil undignified ejection and snuggled into Jakes arms when I was out of the truck.
"I missed you today." He murmured into my hair.
"I missed you too." I said softly.
"I missed you both!" Paul squealed, in a falsetto imitation of my voice, from the door, "Now can we get on with this please?"
Jake growled and pulled me closer for a second before wrapping his arm around my waist and yelling at Paul as we walked into the house, "I don't know how my sister puts up with you!"
Paul wagged his eyebrows suggestively and said, "Oh I can think of a few reasons."
Jacob looked furious and I laughed quietly and pushed him into the living room before anything could happen. I spotted Emily sitting in the love seat in the corner of the room and went to join her.
She smiled at me warmly and asked, "How are you today?"
"I'm doing good. Or I was until I was so rudely removed from my house by the goon squad over there!" I said loudly and Jared, Quil, and Leah started protesting when Jake asked what I meant by 'rudely'. "What about you?"
She laughed lightly and said, "Everything's fine, I finally got to watch my missed episodes of Iron Chef. Speaking of which," She leaned in and lowered her voice to a whisper, "I've got some peanut butter cookies hiding in the pantry that are fresh out of the oven. We have to get them before they notice."
I gave her a serious look and said in a grave voice, "I see. We have to execute mission fat ass. In and out, no questions asked. You read me?"
She nodded, looking serious also, "Yes. We do it while they are discussing this new scent. Ill distract, you retrieve. By the way, do you know what this is about?"
"I was hoping you knew. I was only told they found new scents and that I might know what they are or some shit." I said and shrugged hopelessly.
Sam and Embry finally came in and the meeting started.
Sam stood in the center of the room and addressed everyone, "Jared and Quil came across a new scent while patrolling near the La Push/Seirene border." Seeing my confused look he explained, "Seirene is a..tribe near here. There aren't many Indians there but we heard they were like a Greek immigrant town way back when. Its like our Port Angeles to your Forks. Nobody on the Res can stand them. They are a bunch of rich ass holes with nothing better to do than flaunt it in our faces. Big gates and shit surround the city. At least in the front. There is nothing protecting it from the forests."
"How did I never hear about this?" I questioned.
These are small towns with big gossipers. There is no way in hell teenagers wouldn't talk about some rich town near by.
"Forks hates them too. The name is almost taboo." Embry spat and the others looked as angry as him.
Okay?
"Anyway. Bella, did the Cullens ever talk about a scent that smelled like, I cant believe I'm saying this, but did the ever say anything about supernatural smelling like fruit? We have got this strangest ass scents. We have gotten apple, pomegranate, oranges, it fucking weird."
"Uh..no. So your saying we are looking for the fruit brigade?" I asked dryly and everyone started laughing.
Sam chuckled and said, "No Bella, we are not looking for the fruit brigade. Its just weird. Everyone be on the look out for anything out of ordinary, anything that may strike you as o-"
He was cut off by his phone ringing and he dug it out, raised his eyebrow and answered, "Hello?"
"No we're having a meeting." He paused.
"About the new sc….okay. Well be there in five." He hung up and looked at us confused. "Uh, the council thinks they may know something about this. We need to head to the council building right now."
We got up and slowly walked to the door and I joined up with Jake who wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
Jared spoke up as we started walking to the council building, which was only a few minutes away, "You know, I almost thought I smelled a cat when we found that."
Quil laughed loudly, "So we are looking for fruity cats?"
The others joined him and in their laughing their asses off no one noticed my eyes widen in surprise as I realized what it might be.
"You say you smelled a fruity scent, maybe a feline smell?" Billy asked Jared and Quil.
"Yes sir. We were patrolling near Seirene when we came across it." Jared answered respectively and the council exchanged looks.
Old Quil heaved himself off the chair and went to the book shelf at the end of the barely lit room and returned with a thick book and a piece of parchment.
I leaned closer to Jake and started praying.
"We haven't told you this, but after we made the treaty with the Cullens we had a similar encounter." Old Quil began and the Pack was immediately on guard. Jake pulled me even closer, shaking, and I was almost fully incased in his arms.
"In 1954 Ephraim Black's pack came across a scent much like the one you have now. They followed it towards Seirene and when they were almost to the border a group of woman stopped them. Only there was one problem. They came in as tigers."
The pack look astonished and every hope I had died inside of me.
"Both the pack and their pride phased and when they did it revealed the most beautiful woman any of them had ever seen." Old Quil pointed to a picture of gorgeous women standing on rocks in the ocean. "Any takers on what they are?"
Sam shook his head and looked closer at the page. "Sirens? Like the myth?"
The pack let out sounds of surprise and I closed my eyes as I felt a wave of pain go through my stomach.
"Are you serious? Dad, don't you think this in insane?" Jake stepped forward to stand by Sam and demanded.
"Don't you think werewolves are insane?" When no one answered, Billy kept going, "Their leader claimed that Seirene had been a place of refuge for the Greeks when the Roman war had gone on and some of the sirens wanted to move back for a change of scenery. Ephraim didn't trust them and had heard stories of them luring men to their deaths so he made a compromise, much like with the Cullens. We don't go on their land, they don't come one ours. They mid way point Cliffs and river between our towns were the border. We haven't seen them since."
All was quiet until Sam demanded angrily, "You didn't think we didn't need to know this? I think that is crucial information, Billy."
"We didn't think it was important until now. You need to establish a meeting with their leader to go over the border and see why they came back." Billy ordered and held out the phone. Sam looked at it for a moment before angrily snatching it out of his hands and stalking outside to make the call.
"Is anything a myth anymore?" Paul asked tiredly and ran his hand over his face.
"Apparently not. Do you think there is a Bigfoot?" Seth asked excitedly.
Leah grinned and ruffled his hair, "We're looking at him."
"Hey!" Seth exclaimed, outraged.
I could feel Jacob was upset and walked to him and wrapped my arms around his waist from behind.
He sighed and said mournfully, "Nothing is ever easy is it?"
"No." I said softly.
Sam came in and grunted out, "We're meeting at the border. Phase out now, girls go to the house."
Jake groaned and leaned down to kiss me quickly before running off to join the others.
That left me and Emily awkwardly standing in the room with the council. We walked slowly out the door and made our way to the house.
Jake POV
'Can't we have one day where nothing is waiting to jump out and surprise us?' Quil whined and we ignored him.
This is bullshit. We should have been informed of this. The others silently agreed with my fuming.
We smelled their scent and stopped and phased.
"Ready boys?" Sam asked and without answer walked to the meeting place.
Across the river were 4 woman all with a curvy body with long legs and a gorgeous face. One was short and had black hair and green eyes. Another was average and had curly blonde hair and blue eyes. The one on the very right was Tall and had a mess of curly red hair with green eyes and a defiant look to her. The one in front of the others and probably the leader was tall with caramel colored hair and shocking blue eyes and looked very serious whereas the others were smirking at us and batting their eyelashes.
"Thank you for meeting us." Sam said and nodded to the caramel haired girl.
"Your welcome. We would have called a meeting if you hadn't. My name is Brianna, the red head is Allison, the blonde is Amber, and the short one is Melissa." She introduced with a sweeping hand.
Sam pointed at us, "I am Sam, this is Jacob my Beta, Jared, Quil, and Leah. The others are patrolling. Now that we have been introduced, why is it that you've come back?"
Yes. Why? I could be spending time with Bella.
"We thought it was time for a scenery change…Also a vampire that was being held prisoner was said to have run towards here so we came to investigate."
"Well as you can see there are no vampires here."
"Yes, but he may come this way."
"Then we would be more than capable of handling it."
I watched as argued back and forth and felt an eerie feeling creep up my spine. I scanned the area and finding nothing I tuned back into the conversation.
"…highly dangerous. He has killed his own mate." She tried to reason with Sam.
Well that one is a shocker. Vampires don't kill their mates. Its almost like a werewolves mate. You don't fuck with them.
Sam opened his mouth to speak but was cut off as something sickly sweet smelling and white barreled past us towards the res.
"GO!" Brianna shrieked at the girls and they phased and began the chase.
We followed suit and ran along side them, jumping at him from different angels but never getting him.
'He is getting closer to the house Sam.' I growled as my thoughts turned to Bella.
'I know Jacob. Close gap ar-Paul look out!'
The vampire lunged at Paul but didn't hit him because the others joined in and Quil intercepted. They went rolling before the vampire totally disappeared.
'What..'
Emily's scream cut through the air and we immediately hauled ass to Sam's house.
Sam's thought were focused on getting to Emily as fast as possible and we were all seeing red, knowing the imprints were in danger.
Bella better be fucking okay.
We busted into the huge backyard, the sirens close behind, to see the vampire across the yard having a stare down with Bella who was kneeling on the ground holding Emily.
I snarled at him but he didn't even look out way.
I have to get to Bella out. I have to get Bella out. Imprint. Protect. Keep safe. Mate. Mine.
My thoughts were running on pure instinct and I was going crazy trying to think of a way to get her out.
He better stop fucking looking at her like that.
Brianna phased, totally clothed, and gaped at the scene in front of us.
The vampire finally looked at us then turned back to Bella and….
Lunged.
