Thank you so much for the reviews and follows!
I wanted to get this up last night but we had a pretty severe thunder storm so I figured it would be best to keep all electronic devices turned off. Here is the second chapter. I hope you guys enjoy. I'm trying to do something that has't been done before. I haven't exactly had time to read all the A/B fanfics though so I'm not sure.
Also I made a mistake in the first chapter. I said Rosalie's Mate was Esme. I meant to write Emmett. Sorry about that.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight saga.
[While on a hunt the Cullen's run into something they never believed to exist. Dark times are headed towards our favorite vampires and they are going to need all the help they can get. The only question is, will these hostile creatures be willing to help?]
Chapter 2
Silence
"Do you have any idea what caused us to react like that?" Esme asked Carlisle as the rest of the family gathered around the living room.
"I wish I could say yes." He began slowly, concern for the family written all over his face. "However, I've never come across anything quite like this before." He sighed as he sat down on the love seat and pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He pulled Esme down into his lap and she snuggled into him.
"Could it have been another vampire?" Edward asked him curiously. "I mean, maybe there is a vampire with some kind of shield out there. Maybe the Volturi sent them here." Carlisle shook his head.
"That's what I had initially thought but that doesn't explain the noises. I've never heard something like that. The sounds literally sent a chill down my spine." Everyone nodded in agreement. "What kind of creature could make our kind so afraid?" He pondered out loud.
"So what are we going to do?" The room was silent as everyone thought of possible solutions to our problem. We didn't want to run head first towards the things that caused us so much fright. We didn't want to run away either. This was our home and we weren't ready to leave.
"I suppose I should make some calls. See if anyone else has heard of something like this before." He sighed deeply before continuing. "I should probably also call the pack. Maybe they have seen or heard something that could be of some help." Emmett snorted with laughter.
"Carlisle, if you call the pack you know the first thing they will do is find and attack whatever it is. You know them. They act before they think." Rosalie put her hand on her husbands shoulder.
"I hate to say this Em but I think Carlisle is right. The mutts have a right to know if there is something threatening the people of Forks and their tribe." His shoulders slouched but he nodded in agreement. Carlisle reached into his pocket and grabbed his cellphone before dialing Sam Uley, the leader of the La Push wolf pack.
"Hello?" A gruff voice answered.
"Hi, Sam? This is Dr. Cullen. I was calling to-" Before he even got his next word out he was harshly cut off.
"What do you want leech?" He growled, causing the rest of my family to hiss at him hostility.
"If you would kindly let me speak without interruption then I will tell you." Carlisle responded. I was impressed that he was able to take the mutts words so well. I would have snapped at him.
"Fine, talk." I clenched my fists at my side. Who did these mutts think they were?
"We were out hunting today when-" Again Carlisle was cut off.
"If one of you harmed a human then the treaty is void leech. Just say the word and we will be there to rip you apart." Carlisle massaged his temples as he listened to the threat.
"I have six words for you Sam." He began ticking up fingers for each word. "Shut. Up. And. Let. Me. Speak." We all silently cheered that daddy vamp wasn't allowing the pup to talk down to him.
"Fine." Came the growled response.
"There was something in the woods. Whatever it was had us running for the hills so to speak. Whatever it is, it's not human. I don't know if it's a threat yet. We've been racking our brains but we've been unable to come to a conclusion." Another growl sounded over the phone.
"There might be a new threat? Why the hell didn't you say that in the first place you tick." Before Carlisle could respond Sam started shouting to the rest of his pack to get ready.
"Listen, I don't think it would be wise for you to go after whatever is out there. At least try and figure out what it is first. For all we know this creature doesn't want any trouble." Sam scoffed loudly.
"Listen leech, I don't tell you how to run you coven so don't try and tell me how to run my pack." And with that the phone went dead.
"We have to do something Carlisle. They'll get themselves killed." Esme pleaded and I knew that we were going to be hunting wolves soon. Esme was right, whatever was out there probably wouldn't take it easy on the mutts. The creature we ran from sounded big. Much bigger then any of the wolves.
"Chances are the mutts are going to come onto our land. As long as they think there is a threat the treaty is void in their eyes." Carlisle nodded at Edwards words.
"Maybe we will be able to resolve this peacefully. Alice, can you see what the outcome will be?" I closed my eyes and willed myself to get a vision. Usually when it came to the wolves I couldn't see much. Their futures were always foggy and uncertain. This time however I saw nothing.
"I'm sorry, it's just blank." I was beginning to feel useless with my powers being on the blink like they were.
"I don't know how dangerous this is going to be. I do know that if you don't feel comfortable going after whatever is out there then you don't have to go." Carlisle said, knowing full well that if one of us went that we would all go.
"What are you talking about old man? We're a family. We're all in this together." Emmett replied with confidence. Carlisle beamed at us and nodded.
"Well then let's not waste any more time. I wish I had time to call some others to see if they knew what we were going up against but it would be too late for the pack." He responded as he turned towards the door. Everyone took a deep breath and followed closely behind.

The forest was as quiet as it had been before. The lack of sounds and smells were still unnerving and I could see it taking it's toll on the entire family. We hadn't gone far when we heard the shrill, high pitched cry from before. This time it was followed by the whimpering of one of the wolves.
"Stupid mutts deserve it. They should know better then to go after an unknown foe." Jasper muttered as we forced ourselves to continue towards the sounds. when we came into a clearing we saw something that would have made our blood run cold. That is if we had any. What the hell were these creatures? They were unlike anything I had ever seen before
"No way." Carlisle whispered as we watched in horror as the wolves continued to attack the creatures. Two of the wolves sat off to the side. They seemed to refuse to fight. Somehow the monsters before us must have made it so that the mutts didn't have to follow the alpha's order.
"What in the name of all that is holy are those" Esme asked as her eyes widened in horror. One of the wolves was sent flying our way and we had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit. Instead of replying Carlisle ran into the field.
"Stop! Please, they didn't know any better. They are young shifters. You know how they can be!" Some of the creatures turned our way. Their eyes ranging in color from red, to hazel, to green and many more. One caught my attention right away though. The eyes were bright blue and full of anger. It took a threatening step towards Carlisle.
"Please, we don't want any trouble here." One of the wolves suddenly dashed towards the creature moving towards Carlisle. I got the urge to shout out, to warn it but it wasn't necessary. The creature stood at it's full height, much bigger then the wolves and rammed a sharp, deadly spike into his chest. The wolf collapsed to the ground shifting back to it's human form.
"Oh god." Esme cried as the blood spilled out of the wounded mutt. Even though she disliked them as much as the rest of us she didn't like seeing anyone hurt. The large creature raised a leg and got ready to crush the poor wolf's skull under it's massive hoof.
"Stop!" I shouted and the creatures head whipped up towards me. Our eyes connected and I felt something stir inside me. Something I was beginning to think that I would never feel. I felt as though I had a real purpose. That suddenly I was needed. Somehow I was complete.
"What are they Carlisle." Esme asked again, grabbing her mates hand and pulling him close.
"They are supposed to be extinct." He began, looking carefully around the field. The wolves were too busy tending to the wounded to even try to attack right now. The creatures stood stock still as they watched us.
"Yes, but what are they?" She repeated again.
"They used to be ridden into battle." He continued, still not answering her question.
"Would you just tell us what they are already?" Rosalie finally snapped. In the end it was Edward who responded. The look of terror on his face made me believe he had extensive knowledge on these beasts.
"War horses."
I will try to have the next chapter up within the next few days.
