The house was full of stinking vampires, the stench was exhausting but the stress on top of that was almost crippling. How many humans would die because of all those leaches? They came from all directions, some even from the Amazon. Alice had seen to them coming here, the day she had left put it all in serious motion. Jasper had tried to follow her but his sister stopped him with a smile and said someone would arrive that he wouldn't want to miss. No one knew what she had meant with that but seeing she and Jasper were the only blood siblings they just assumed she knew more than she could explain. So Jasper stayed behind, waiting for this person his sister indicated.

Everyone in the house stiffened when they heard a car, no motor, leave the highway and enter the side street that was connected to the Cullen house. Jacob was already walking to the door and saw Carlisle already standing there, they nodded to each other and the vampire opened the door as the motor neared the house. Jacob walked out first and looked towards the nearing vehicle, it was a sleek but old fashioned black motor, a motor that would draw all eyes to it mostly due to the growling noise it made as it neared. Jacob walked down the front steps of the house towards the rider as they parked the motor and disembarked, this was the moment when Jacob and Carlisle noticed two things. The first was that the driver was a smallish woman, the second was that they both heard a heartbeat.

The woman planted her feet in the ground as she lifted the helmet from her face and red hair flowed down but also immediately puffed up in a mayor case of helmet head, the woman sighed and patted her hair down to try and calm it down with some success but it was still a bit messy. Satisfied with the improvement she walked towards the two men she saw standing in front of the house, as she approached she saw that they were exchanging a nervous glance but she mostly ignored it.

"Good evening." She said with a bubbly and heavily accented voice as she reached them and held her hand out to Carlisle.

The shocked vampire in front of her shook it without really noticing. "Hello there ma'am. May I ask why you are here?"

"Well, I heard a rumour and thought I could help out." The woman said when Carlisle let go of her hand. "Oh!" the woman exclaimed as if she just remembered something. "Where are my manners? My name is Hariel Potter but you can call me Harry".

"Well Harry, my name is Carlisle and this here is Jacob." The vampire said as he motioned towards the boy in question.

Harry turned towards Jacob and held out her hand. "It's nice to meet you." She said as she shook his hand. "I have to admit, I didn't expect to see a vampire and werewolf coming out of the same house." She said matter of fact. At these words the two men in front of her stiffened but Harry didn't seem to notice. "How many vampires do you have in there?" She said as she looked at the house. "It has to be quite a lot for these rumours to reach me."

Carlisle was the first to unfreeze. "I'm sorry ma'am but I don't know what you are talking about." He was planning to say more but he was stopped by a piercing look he got from Harry. He hadn't noticed how green her eyes were, it was almost unnatural.

"Don't play games with me Carlisle, I am not a mere human." Her tone was dark as she looked him in the eyes but flipped back to bubbly when she continued talking. "I am here to help. It has been a long time since I saw the point in doing that, I know of the girl and her parents and having me on your side will benefit all of your allies."

"If you know what is in there," Jacob spoke suddenly. "Then why are you so eager to go in?" His face was stoic but harry saw the disbelief in his eyes.

Harry looked at him as she spoke. "I've been in the magical world since I've turned eleven and let me tell you, I've seen my fair share of vampires to trust them to not attack me." With these words she turned back to Carlisle, "Can I meet the rest of the witnesses?"

Carlisle sighed as he saw the conviction in the eyes of this woman, he had been checking her heartbeat for any sign of a lie but he couldn't find it. Reluctantly he turned towards the house and said "I will but you have to understand one thing first ma'am, I only speak for a small portion of the vampires inside and don't know what could happen in the time to come. This is not a safe place for a human."

Harry's face didn't twitch a bit when she heard what Carlisle said. "That is no problem to me, I've had worse." She said with a smile on her face, "And please Carlisle," she turned to look at the man standing behind her "don't call me ma'am, It makes me feel my actual age."

With those words echoing in the air the three of them walked towards the house and Jacob couldn't help but wonder what this woman had seen to say she had seen worse than a house full of blood sucking leaches.
