Hi again, I am sorry it is starting off slow. It is going to get good I promise keep reading please? Thank you enjoys and feel free to review. :)
P.S This chapter briefly goes on the topic of self-harm so it may be triggering, it's not saying it's a good thing so I don't think it will be but just encase it's a warning anyway.
Chapter Two
Mason's POV
I had no intention of keeping these monsters alive, but I think one of them imprinted on Ari, I just can't tell which one.
What?! Sanctuary? We only wanted a doctor in the horrid place, why can't we go to Seattle? I asked Ari telepathically.
Because, all the rain and the mixed supernatural auras cloud our scent unless they are within a miles of us.
One of them imprinted on you didn't they?
Yes, I think so, the one you beat up in the first place.
You know you can't be with him.
Can we discuss this later when we get to our place. Thank you.
"I am Sam, this is Embry, Quill, Jared, Paul and this is Jacob," I assume the guy introducing everyone is the alpha and Jacob is the one I beat up. Wow, I couldn't not hate this anymore.
"If this is your land, all I ask is sanctuary, let no one else know we are here, no one outside of your elders circle," I think the pack was shocked Ari knew about their Elders circle. Ha! Morons. I couldn't help but let a grin slip onto my face. They knew nothing about what we are.
"We will have to discuss your stay with our elders and your um, leader," Sam stated. I chuckled, trying not to laugh. They probably think they are top shit because they know something the rest of the world doesn't. Shit, I just made myself laugh. Ari elbowed me hard in the chest but I tried to pass it off as nothing, but she can really hurt me, and it sucks more because she is a girl. I'm not sexiest, but I was raised that men were stronger, but in this case, it's far from that.
"We don't have a leader, it's just us, so I will come go with you and wait until a meeting can be arranged," That sentence just proves she is the leader.
me and Gabe will go to the house and start "unpacking". Love you I said to Ari in her head, then told Gabe we were going "shopping" and then we teleported to Wal-Mart.
Ari's POV
"Where did they go?" Sam asked me, very cautiously.
"They are going to set up our place, while I come with you to arrange a meeting, right now," I smiled sweetly, knowing they can't get rid of me or say no. Sam just nodded and started walking off with his pack. I guess I just have to follow them and that's what I did, I trailed along behind them slowly, analysing their every movement, until we got to a small house with a huge garage at least a yard away from the house. On the porch of the house, there was an elderly man in a wheel chair, I assume he is on the council.
"Billy, we need to call an emergency council meeting," When Sam said this, Billy's eyes went straight to me, fear filled them, along with caution.
"Does it involve this woman?" Billy question quietly.
"Yes, the whole matter of the council meeting is based upon my arrival," I sounded too proper when I talk politics. I guess it's better than the way I normally talk. 'We need to clear this shit up,' is something I would normally say.
"And why is that?"
"I request sanctuary on your land, Sir."
"Why should we grant you that on our sacred land?"
"Bring the whole council to a meeting for me to plead my case Sir," I was surprised when he stuck his hand out and smiled at me. I shook his hand nodded in respect. I waited a minute, for Billy to turn around until I spoke, "I am from the Triad," in Quileute. every ones jaw dropped and Billy turned around to face me, his face had no expression, he nodded and wheeled off.
They wolf boy known as Seth was showing me around the house and then the garage. "Can I ask you a question?" He nodded so I took that as a yes.
"Why are you being so kind? I have never met creatures as passionate as you," I inquisitively awaited his answer.
"That's just who I am I guess, I like being nice," I was taken aback by his answer. There is no such thing as a nice supernatural being. I scowled at myself and him and sat on a stool in the shed and waited until someone came to tell us all the Elders are inside Jacob's place.
"I'm going to quickly zap to my place to get changed and I know you're not allowed to let me out of your sight, because I had Sam tell you, so do you want to come?" I said it all in one quick breath so he couldn't interrupt me. Seth nodded with a goofy smile. I pulled my phone out from my bra and grabbed Seth's hand and made it touch my phone also. With a press of a button, we were de-materialized and re-materialized in my house.
I could tell Gabe and Mason had been very busy stealing all kinds of stuff. Seth and I materialized in the living room, where the teleporting mat was set up. There was a 72 inch 3D TV sitting on a black cabinet with a 3 foot speaker on either side. And Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 sat neatly in the cabinet. As far as I could tell, the whole house was polished floor boards. The lounge was a three seat black leather beauty, accompanied by other arm chairs, one on either side of the centred lounge. It was stunning. Gabe walked out of the kitchen and went straight into defence mode, dropping the utensils he was carrying. He hadn't brushed his fuzzy black hair yet obviously because he looked a bit like a hermit.
"Chill Gabe, he just needs to be here till I get changed,"
"I got all your stuff I hope you like them, and your room is the only one on the third floor," His face instantly went from stone cold to a warm sheepish smile.
"Course I will, now clean up and get Seth something to drink," I kissed Gabes cheek and ran up two set of stair to my room. The walls were lime green and my bed looked like a double size and it had black sheets and pillows and the blanket was a baby blue colour. The walk in wardrobe had all kinds of band t-shirts, biker boots, knit sweaters and converse. I stripped off my jacket and when I went to take off my shirt, I noticed one of the cuts on my arm had opened up and but I stain on the end of my woolly jacket. I went into the bathroom and cleaned it a bit with some water. People are going to notice this one, so I have to wear a jacket as well, just encase the scab re-opens.
I grabbed a pair of black stockings, a black and gold studded tube skirt, a parkway drive t-shirt and a pair of studded biker boots. Plus a leather jacket with spike studs on the shoulder. I looked like one bad ass motherfucker. I quickly searched and found a hair straightener and did about ten minutes worth of hair straightening and styling. Same with my make-up, it was nothing fancy just silver-grey eye shadow and heavy black eye-liner.
"I'm ready, let's go Seth," I ran down the stairs and stared firing up the teleporting pad. Seth looked me up and down and blushed a little when he noticed I was watching him.
"So how exactly does this thing work?" He asked, standing on the teleporting pad.
"This mat or whatever is our main teleporting pad. The scanner runs over us to identify that we are in its system and have permission to teleport to set co-ordinates. Us three have a um, 'redial' button on our cell that instantly bring us back to where ever the main teleport pad is," I smiled a little and punched in the street number of Jacobs house.
Seth's POV
Their house is amazing! Gabe looks really mean, so does Mason, but they are actually super nice and made me feel at home. Gabe got me a glass of cola and gave me a whole meat loaf to myself, because he knows how much us wolves eat. Ari is intimidating, but super-hot, she is a curvy girl but really thin, like I think she is really underweight and her bones could snap at any minute. Her eyes are PURPLE! I have never seen anything like it, it is making me so keen to hear what she has to say at the meeting. When she came running down the stairs in a badass outfit, my eyes stuck like glue to her. I am officially sad that she is Jacobs.
"I'm ready, Let's go Seth," I walk over to a yoga looking mat and it shot out a scanning laser like in the movies. I made the mistake of asking what it is, and she told me, but it all went over my head. I didn't even think this technology was made!
I convinced Ari to stay on the porch while I go into the house.
"What the hell Seth?"
"What?"
"Where the hell have you been?" Sam was flying off the handle and then Ari walks in.
"Hey lay off, I went to my house to get changed and ready for the meeting okay? Seth's a good kid he followed me and everything," Her eyebrow scrunched up into a frown, directed at Sam. I couldn't help but smile and almost laugh.
"Okay, well the elders are here, the rest of the pack is down at the garage so when your down come down and fill us in," Sam laid out orders to her. I chuckled because the death glare she gave him made him leave instantly and when he left I burst of laughing and followed him.
"Seth! Can you wait in here for me please?" Ari shifted uncomfortably.
"I'll be here when you get out Ari,"
"Thanks dude," She gave me a lop-sided grin and went into the dining room.
Billy's POV
My sons imprint, Ari, sat down at the table. No matter what she said I would vote yes, for my son. Sue was beside me at the dining table, just looking at Ari.
"If I may start. Elders, I know you have no proof that I am a good guy, especially because I am of the Triad Council, which you thought ceased to exist. I was head of war tactics, security and assassination missions and tech," Ari was so formal for a young girl, but I can see why. This is table turner. Assassin. What would she possibly kill?
"The Triad has changed. The supernatural representatives on the Elders Court all represent one of the major groups of creatures. Their motive is to have most supernatural beings killed, unless they are of importance to the Triad. They created me to serve a purpose and that was to be a cold-blooded predator to both humans and supernatural beings. For a long time I was until I found out even dirtier secrets of the Triad," Ari's voice remained low and dark. Her past haunts her.
"May I ask what made you leave?" Sue politely asked. I can tell she was scared, especially since it's only us two left to decide.
"The Triad had been watching me since the minute of birth, and when I turned seven, my whole family was kidnapped, mom, dad, my sister, brother and me," She paused, recollecting herself so her emotions wouldn't overtake her speech.
"I refused to kill my mother, so instead of that for initiation, the strapped me to a chair, pinned my eyes open and killed her slowly and horribly, tortured her for hours first. I had to watch them do the same to my sister and my dad. My brother was going to be killed but he begged to join them, so I wouldn't be alone. He was 10 at the time. We underwent vigorous training to be the best killers. Five years of training later, they develop a serum they enhanced all our senses and unlocked all of our brain. It was a very painful change, the effects did fully set in until a year later, and that when I started hunting supernatural creatures, I was 13 and my brother was 16, I met my best friend on a kill mission, Mason Gilbert. The creature I was sent to kill for my first mission killed his parents, so he joined the Triad as a tech guy, making better equipment and such. We spent three years of hunting together and then I discovered that they had erased my memory of how much they tortured me," Ari stopped speaking. She couldn't speak anymore I don't think. I looked at Sue and she nodded her head. That's her vote yes, and mine, so there we go.
"I am so sorry for what you went through, you are welcome here," I smiled at Ari and her whole face lit up.
"You are welcome on all of our land," Sue added sweetly.
"Thank you so much, I owe you my life and you and the pack have my loyalty. Call me if you need anything," Ari bowed to us and left the dining table. I didn't expect her to pledge loyalty, because nobody does that anymore, but she is old fashioned I guess. Good kid.
