TPOV
Life in the past was not as dreadful as I thought it would be. We the Controllers, that's what we called ourselves since we practically controlled everything, lived in a life full of responsibilities. Here in the past, my only chore was to find Veronica. And since to find her, I could just send the guard to find her, and then deal with her later… It was a no-brainer really.
I had spent the last year in a vacation, with only one highlight. To me, as a time traveler, I did not age nor anything about my appearance really changed. Not that I had not disguised my self, just a precaution so Veronica wouldn't find me first, or run in the opposite direction if I came along.
I also "hung out" a lot with the shape shifters, so it was like I was home. Some cliff diving, long runs, and fighting matches were only a few things I did with them.
When I told the guards/five that I was going to befriend the pack, they said they were okay with it. But when they saw the fights that got around, they "expressed their feelings for my safety" and "did not prohibited" me from being in their company, but "much rather have me teach them some material" instead.
I agreed, for their sakes. I really didn't want them having a heart attack, or some other condition.
Today we were practicing meditation. My new friend Paul really needed to keep his anger in check.
"Okay boys, you all need to remember that words can't hurt you. If someone pisses you off. Piss him or her right back, because you can never have them get to you." I explained as we were sitting under a tree in the middle of the forest.
We all had our eyes closed, trying to find inner peace. It was actually more like them trying to find inner control; I had too much stuff in my mind.
I had gotten a letter from Veronica some months ago telling to go and find my mother. I had checked on her and nothing had seemed amiss. It was for actually only a couple of seconds, and someone I had never seeing before was helping her because she had been on a cast. According to some stories my mother had being the helpless klutz back in the day.
It did not surprised me.
"Okay lets go, my butt is getting wet. Can we go H?" Embry, the newest addition to the clan called out.
"Are you guys hungry? Because I could use a bite." I said as I started to get up.
"Are you kidding me? You ate before we left." Paul said as he looked at me. "I don't get how someone so skinny eats as much as you."
"I am a growing teen-ager." I teased. And I did eat a lot, I just had a fast metabolism, since I was not getting the nutrients I needed because I had being blood abstinent since I started to be with the wolves so much. I figured blood was a touchy subject with them. They absolutely did not like vampires.
It was not that I was one, I just different. One more attribute I had because of my mother.
"I am a growing werewolf, and you eat more than me." He pointed out.
"Only sometimes, now lets go, I have a salsa recipe I will most definitely share with your Emily Sam."
I got my phone out, called Raphael and told him to get me some pizza over at Emily's.
On the way there we stopped at the Reservation to pick up some essential ingredients for our get together. Chips, Doritos, soda, candy, assorted pastries, and more soda, and other stuff for me and Emily to cook.
It was there that I sensed Jacob Black.
I was pretty much used to his smell, so it shocked me that I had not sensed him before, or picked up his sent.
"You know Jacob Black Sam?" I asked.
"Billy's son of course. Direct descendent of Ephraim Black…" He explained.
"Rest in peace," we all said in unison.
"Why do you ask?" Sam asked me.
"I think we might want to stay in town tonight- you guys should stay. I am sure he will need all of you tonight." I said to no one in particular, but in reality it was meant for Sam.
"We should?" Jared asked unsure.
"I will follow him, if he changes in a… place… if someone is around- I don't want 'im to be scared…" I trailed off, letting my words sink in. Of course they felt bad for him, to a point. But they were also happy to have a new brother, plus they had caught a sent around their perimeters, and they could use a hand.
They could ask me to help them. But I was not permitted to interfere with people's problems, unless I absolutely had to.
"Yeah you guys go on a head, have everyone over at Billy's, his name right?" I did not wait for a response.
I ran out of the store and went to introduce myself to Billy Black. The edited version of me, with out all the details. Of course the pack followed behind me, to help me break the news of me to him.
"Thank god you are not freaked out by this Mr. Black." I thanked him
"Not at all H, you said, right. I had a feeling it was going to happen to him soon." He looked somewhat sad. "By the way, if you don't mind me asking what H stands for?" He made it sound like it was okay if I did not want to share that information. He probably thought it stood for an embarrassing name.
"Not at all, it's a title. I feel more comfortable with it just being H. That's all." I explained, " if you all really want to know, I'll tell you all about it when I come back."
"When you come back? Where are you going?" Jared asked.
"I have to follow Jacob. He already has a lead on me. He left when we got here, right Mr. Black?" I said as I made my way to the door.
"Call me Billy Miss H, and yes he did." he called after me.
"Call me H Billy." I smiled at him.
Okay, one more chapter. So you guys know, if you are interested, I will update at least once a week. And pretty please with cherries on top, and brown sugar with marshmallows and chocolate, leave a review. I will greatly appreciate it. But honest about it too.
PS. I need a beta….
