Spirit of the Wolf
I don't own anything, this was just a dream I had and thought I'd write it down... Enjoy
Chapter Two
'Cai POV
I awoke the next morning to the sound of murmured voices. Keeping my breathing even, I feigned sleep so as to discern what was happening.
"Who do you think she is?" The soft male voice floated as though settling a blanket of calm around me. The man who spoke fell silent. I was unable to discern how many people stood around me.
"Jazz, I don't think she's asleep," another voice, this one at my right, said. His voice was rougher yet still gentle.
I wondered how long we were going to play this game when I was overtaken by a violent fit of shaking. Instinctively pulling my arms closer to my body, I felt my soaked clothes. Odd, it was morning and the heat of the day would have dried me by now. I clenched my teeth and curled into a tighter ball, hoping whoever it was around me would go away. The feel of ice cold fingers ghosting along my cheek caused me to flinch back. An intoxicatingly sweet scent filled my senses as a gently breeze hit my face.
"Em, go see if Carlisle's home yet. Jazz, see if Jacob or any of his pack are on patrols. She's freezing and I'm afraid of hypothermia."
I never heard the responses made to the woman with the angel's voice, but when she asked me to open my eyes, I did. The last thing I saw was a pair of golden eyes framed my spiked, black hair. I must have been delusional because I thought I saw her sparkle…

Emmett POV
"Carlisle, Esme… Where are you?" I called as I burst in through the open window next to Edward's piano. He and Bella were sitting there watching Nessie sleep. Bella looked at me with her red tinged eyes. Edward stood as he read the thoughts running through my mind.
As Carlisle and Esme came down the stairs, followed by Rose, he asked, "Where is she?"
"About three miles south of here. Alice sent Jasper in search of Jacob and his pack."
"Jacob isn't on patrol today. He's with his dad and Seth and Leah are with their mom. He asked Sam to take patrol duty today." Bella looked from Eddie to me and asked, "What's going on? Who is 'she'?"
"'She' is a young woman your brothers and sister found," Carlisle answered for me. I sent a grateful smile his way as Rose wrapped her arms around me.
Rose looked at Carlisle in shock as she exclaimed, "Carlisle, you can't honestly be thinking about bringing another human here. What about Bella and Nessie?"
Bella stood up and said, "Reneesme and I can stay at the cottage until 'She' leaves. How long could she possibly stay?"
I was saved from having to respond by Jasper's arrival. "Alice and the wolf are on their way. Ed, I don't think Bella and Nessie need to leave. She has some blood on her arms and legs; she's covered in scratches."
Rose piped in, "All the more reason not to have her here. Remember when Bella sliced her finger on a piece of paper?"
Jasper growled and finished, "If you would let me finish, I would tell you that there is nothing to worry about. Unless you find the smell of pine trees appetizing…"
Rose prepared to launch herself at him when Esme interrupted, "What do you mean, Jasper?"
"Her blood smells like pine trees with a spicy scent mixed in."
"Emmett," the soft voice of my adopted mother broke through my reverie, "You didn't tell us she was injured."
I shook my head and replied, "I didn't notice the smell of her blood. I'm no doctor, but it didn't look like anything was broken even though she is covered in bruises." Esme busied herself with bringing clean towels, a plain blue dress and other things to Ed's old room.
Edwards' head snapped up as he said, "They're here."
Note: I had a question as to how Edward knew the others had arrived with 'Cai. He knew because he could hear their thoughts. Enjoy!!
