The Unknown

After Isabella's first feed Peter and Char convinced Renee and Charlie to give Isa a cup blood twice a week since she was a growing child it would lessen the chance of attacking some-one. As Isa grew she hadn't had another incident like the one when she was eight. When she was 11 her mother and father started spending more time on the local reservation Renee had never felt welcome there so she never made her daughter go especially since both Swan's grew up hearing the legends of the cold one and spirit warriors Renee her-self was half Quileute that was how she met Charlie in high school. He had become friends with her twin brother Billy Black, where Billy looked every bit Native American Renee was no darker than a pale face with a tan. Once Renee started dating Charlie she was pretty much was hated on the Rez since she was already pale in comparison of the other tribes men.

Renee felt that Isa should know where she came from and she was already close to her cousin Jacob. Over time the Rez became a second home to Isa.

Isabella would often sit on first beach with her Cousin Jacob and his friends Embry and Quil. They had quickly become the four musketeers; where ever one was the other three weren't far behind. It had become a common occurrence that the four get picked on, there were four kids not much older than Isa that would go out of their way to torment them Paul Lahote, Sam Uley, Jarred Cameron, and Sam's Girl-friend Leah Clearwater had made it their mission to try and make Isa cry at least once a day.

"I hope those Neanderthals aren't the tribes protectors because if they are we're fucked" Isa muttered under her breath not realizing that Jacob, Embry, and Quil were close enough to hear.

"What do you mean tribes protectors, don't tell me you believe those stupid stories that dad tells at the bonfire, I thought you were 14 not 4" Jacob laughed at his cousin for believing the bed time story.

"Can you guys keep a secret?"

The boys exchanged looks as if having a silent conversation "Sure"

"The cold ones are real" the boys once again looked at each other before laughing hysterically almost falling out of the tree they were hiding in. Isa who was sat on one the highest branches huffed before jumping to the ground landing gracefully in a crouched position before looking back up at the boys god smacked expressions she smiled and took off down the beach at her full speed. It took the boys 15 minutes to get to where Isa sat waiting for them they had ran as fast as they could not even a minute after Isa took off. The boys collapsed in the sand beside her out of exhaustion.

"How the hell did you do that?" Quil finally asked after taking some time to catch his breath.

"You ready to believe me if I tell you?" all the boys nodded their heads eager to hear what she had to say now that they saw what she could do.

"The Cold ones are real my real father is one I never met him, hell I didn't even find out Charlie wasn't my real father till a few years ago when I accidently killed a man who was trying to kidnap me I bit his hand when he put over my mouth when I tasted his blood it was like I had tasted the finest chocolate known to man so I just drank. I didn't realize mom and dad had found me till I smelled them I was about to attack them when Uncle Pete and Aunt Char stopped me. Pete held me while char went and found a rapist she said it would make me feel less guilty, that instead of focusing on the one life I took, I could focus on the dozens I saved. While I was feeding they explained what I was and what happened to mom and dad. When I was done we all went our house that was when mom told me she cheated on dad when they were in Italy and that my father said his name was Caius, but she didn't know for sure that she had only seen and met him the one time I was conceived. Pete and Char told mom and dad that since I was still growing that I should have blood twice a week, they bring blood bags once a month and dad put a fridge in the basement seller he also turned it into a panic room to lock my-self in when my thirst got to be too much or for me to just relax away from everything. So now three times a week I get blood in the morning with breakfast instead of orange juice. It was hard at first cause once I had tasted blood everyone smelled SSOOO good but Uncle Pete figured if I could learn to ignore what he called the blood lust I should be fine, so he had his brother jasper who's an empath come and help. He would use mom and dad blood for the smell and then send a shit load of hunger towards me, than when I got to the blood it tasted so damn nasty I don't know what Uncle Jasper did to it but it only took me a week to not be able to feed from any-thing but the bags. I can still smell the blood but it's not appetizing now like eating vegetables, I know I need it but I don't want it. Uncle Jasper said him Uncle Peter and Aunt Char were in the southern wars and civil war together he taught me how to fight to he said it'll help with the aggression till I get my hunger under control. He said he had trained hundreds of new vampires, that with them when they did some-thing wrong he would tear them apart for a few days but he couldn't do that to me cause I'm half human apparently regular vampires can be put back together and the only way to truly kill them is to rip'em apart and burn them. Uncle Pete said that some cold ones drink animal blood like Uncle Jasper and most drink people he said that so vampires don't like what they are or don't want to be bad so they only drink from criminals or the dying, that's what my Aunt and Uncle do. Since I'm half cold one I can run really fast with-out getting tired, I'm as agile as a cat and since I'm half human I'm venomous like regular cold one. Uncle Pete says I'll stop aging when I turn 18, and mom and dad are gonna get turned then cause they don't want to leave me. I figure if the cold ones from the legends are real then how come not the protectors? Right?"

The three boys looked astonished to hear her story and unknown to the group the leader of their bullies Sam Uley heard ever thing and chose like the boys not to say anything but to simply watch.
