Peace of Heart

Chapter Two: Visitors

Bella had tried contacting Jacob, numerous times. She also tried Leah and Seth, out of desperation, but none of them answered her calls. She was panicking, so Jasper calmed her down, while also keeping tabs on Alice's uncommon hostile rage. He normally tried not to meddle with the emotions of the people he lived with. It made things awkward with him already knowing what they were feeling.

"If they weren't mutant, teenage hair balls we wouldn't be having a problem finding them," Alice grumbled, watching Edward intently.

Edward was searching for Jacob, Leah, and Seth through their minds. Jasper knew, as Edward felt immensely accomplished, that he already had. He stood, his brows furrowed. "Can you still see them?" Edward asked of Alice. Them being the visitors. Alice shook her head, grumbling under her breath in a language Jasper had yet to learn. Edward ran for the door, still looking distant, as well as feeling it. All the others were obligated to follow, as something was obviously wrong.

You'd think, with such a clouded and concentrated mind as Edward's, he would need help dodging unsuspecting trees. Or at least run a little slower. Unfortunately, however, as always, Jasper and Rosalie were behind them all as they followed Edward through the woods, not bothering to put strength into their running. They didn't feel threatened enough to run any faster. Edward was first to get to the clearing. Alice, Bella, and Carlisle were right on his tail.

It was deserted when the got there. They stood together, surveying the forrest around them. The only sound Jasper could hear was the faint gush of wind hitting the trees and swaying the overgrown grass and bushes. He breathed in, dismissing the scent of his niece's nearly human blood, like he had been getting used to doing. The stench of dog filled his nose and he wrinkled it and stopped breathing, in a vain attempt to rid himself of it.

There was a light rustling of leaves and the pounding of wolves' paws on the ground, could be heard. Still, the Cullens remained grounded, waiting. Jasper inhaled again, but he couldn't smell out these supposed "visitors". The pack's scent was to strong. Their footsteps grew louder. Jasper turned around, awaiting the unknown oncoming. He moved to stand in front of her, shielding her protectively, just in case. She chuckled behind him and rolled her golden eyes at his behavior, but he didn't care. He was in a zone, so to speak.

The sound of the wolves running, slowed to a walk, causing confusion and concern to override the Cullen's curiousity.

They didn't run. They weren't even threatened by the wolves, as they simply strode along beside them into the clearing, as if it were a normal occurance. There was three. Two males, and a female vampire. One of the men, tall and gangly, red haired with ivory skin. His eyes were just as cold, hungry, and black as his companions. The other, was around his own hieght. He was more toned then the other, but was clearly intimadated by Emmett, though he tried not to show it. His dark hair was disheveled, and a tad long, looking like it needed a cut. He and the woman, were were ghostly pale. Not like the red head, who more than likely lived in a colder climate when he was human. Then the woman, she was only as tall as Bella, perhaps. Her dirty blonde hair was pinned at the back of her neck, but was long enough that it flowed over her shoulders in heavy waves. The woman looked oddly familiar to him; the way her jaw was set, how her features were angled, the way she held herself up as if she were a dictator. She held a commanding presense, which, in only the short amount of time he had had to size the three up, he found most irratating.

The trio stepped before them, unsure of what to do, it seemed. Carlisle stepped foward. The red head did also, extending his hand in greeting. "John Louis," he said. "You must be Carlisle, right?" Carlisle nodded, not at all surprised to find the stranger knew his name, and shook Louis' hand. Clearly, the three had been sent to find them.

Carlisle would have hated to be rude, but Emmett just didn't care. "Why are you here?" he inquired.

Louis glanced around at the rest of the Cullens. His gaze caught with a few of them and he'd hastily move on to the next whilst he reached into his and took out a manila envelope. "We've been sent to deliver this to you." He handed it to Carlisle and backed away, slowly. One of the wolves, Leah, Jasper could only guess though, growled and barred her teeth when he backed into her. Jasper observed the other vampires. The woman was standing close to one of the wolves, curiousity, and a strange longing to know how furry it was eating her alive, Jasper could feel it. The other man, was staring off towards the trees, an escape, adrenaline boiling in his veins.

"And there had to be three of you?" Rosalie inquired also.

Well, no," Louis said, a bit conflicted with the question, himself. "We have more co-"

"Families," the blonde piped in. "We have more families to pay a visit to." She glared at the red head but came over to stand next to him.

Jacob, who had changed back, walked into the clearing from where they had entered. "Well then, don't let us stop you," he said. "You can leave, now." The visitors didn't seem insulted by this, more relieved than anything.

Carlisle called them back, of course, when they had shrugged though the now packed, with wolves, clearing. It seemed Jacob had called in some reinforcements. Carlisle flipped through a couple papers from the envelope then looked up at them. "This is Aro's doing?" he inquired.

"No," the three replied.

"Then I think you better come in," Carlisle said.

"Yeah," Alice bitterly added. "Explanations would be great."

So, I know I havent updated this in awhile. And I was gonna delete it.. cause I promised my favorite bitter reader(who secretly loves my Twilight stories and just doesnt know it) that I would.. But I keep coming back to it when Im writing other stuff. So scratch that..

This is just a filler chapter, I think, by the way. Nothing good really happened. The next should be more interesting, as some things I made up start comin' in to play. Either way, I hope you liked it. Review and let me know?

Reviews would be lovely(:
