A/N: I have decided to revise this story as well as continue on with it. Since it is one of the first few stories I have written, there were a lot of errors that I have now corrects. If you have any questions or comments, post them in my reviews and I will answer them in my next Author's Note!
Secondly, I would like to give credit due to Miyako-87 from her story 'Wings of a Small Bird.' I used several of her qualities that she uses for her Phoenix's, so if you like the Phoenix's in this story, you should definitely check out her story! - B
Chapter 3
(Jayden's POV)
The forest flew by us as I ran Bella and I through the forest to meet the shifters. I'm not sure how they will react to her being with me, but it should be interesting.
We broke through the tree line and came to a stop as I set Bella back on her feet.
"Whoa! That was far smoother and faster than running with vampires." She said trying to balance herself on her feet, obviously a little disoriented from the run.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I just kind of threw you on my back there. I was in a hurry." I apologized sheepishly.
She smiled her acceptance and snapped her head to the east when she heard a twig snap, where 8 horsed sized wolves came walking out of the forest. Her eyes were huge as she took in their large and dangerous form.
Once they saw her, I heard their arguing in my head.
'What's SHE doing here?' - Leah
'Shut it Leah! I'm sure there is a good reason why.' - Seth
'She better not go runnin' her fuckin' mouth around town about us.' - Paul
'I doubt she would. I mean she obviously knows about the bloodsucker's and Jay here. And she hasn't said anything so far.' - Quil
'Yeah Paul, just because you have a thing for Jay doesn't mean you have to protect her from everything that walks, let alone a human.' - Embry
'Shut it, asshole!' - Paul
'Why would she be with any bloodsuckers or demons to begin with and willingly put herself in danger. This one drinks HUMAN blood! - Jacob
'Awe... common' Jake. You know Jay wouldn't hurt Bella. She only kills murderer's and rapists and them.' - Jared
'WILL ALL OF YOU SHUT IT!We came here for a reason, not to chit chat. Brady and Collin are the only ones guarding the tribe right now so we don't have time for this! Now Paul and Jake, come with me.' - Sam
Once Sam's gag order was successfully in place, I watched as Paul, Jake and Sam ran back into the forest and came out in their human form moments later. I suppose they did that so Bella would be able to take part in the conversation.
"Jake?" Bella asked astonished.
Jake nodded with a cocky grin displayed on his face as she took in his changes.
"When did this happen? You cut your hair? And got a tattoo?" She grilled as she examined his new appearance.
"Right around the time where I stopped coming by." He said solemnly. "Sam put a gag order on me that I wasn't allowed to tell you. But I guess this blows that out of the water now." He smirked eying at Sam who had a resigned look upon his features.
"Hey Jay. How have you been?" Paul asked approaching me.
"I've been good. Traveling, new experiences, and so forth." I answered nonchalantly.
"All right, down to business." Sam butted in, pausing all current conversations. "I don't mean to be a party pooper, but as you probably heard us talking, we only have Brady and Collin staying behind on the Rez, and not by choice. It seems that you are well liked among the pack." He smiled before continuing. "Anyways, word is that you are going to be staying here permanently?"
"For the foreseeable future yes." I smiled at the excitement that ran through out the pack at my validation.
"And is Ray with you?" He quizzed.
"Of course." I answered to which Bella whipped her head around to look at me with a puzzled expression gracing her face. "I will introduce you later." She nodded her head in acceptance but I could tell she was still curious.
"Wonderful." Sam grinned. "You will have to bring her by to the Rez soon. I know Emily is dying to see her again. Even though it has only been a month since you were last here, she misses you two. I also know Claire is anxious to play with Ray again too."
"I know she misses everyone as well. She loved playing with everyone last time and has been bugging me since we got here to see you guys." I answered with a small smile, remembering Ray's tiny voice as she laughed as she played with 'those big doggies.'
"Now as for Bella and her part in this?" He inquired, giving her a sideways glance.
"Well to answer you question, I met her at school this morning-"
"School?" Paul smirked with an eyebrow raised.
"Yes! School!" I smacked his arm to which he grabbed his bicep in mocked hurt. I shook my head laughing and continued my explanation. "Peter called about two months back, explaining that he will be meeting me here in Forks and to be prepared to be staying for an unknown amount of time. He suggested I enroll in high school, so I started my senior year of high school...again...this morning.
"Bella was in my first period class and it was clear that she had knowledge of the supernatural and was going through something in her life where she could use a friend, so I invited her over for the weekend. I foresee that in a couple of weeks she is going to be moving in for reasons that have not yet come to light."
"Alright." Sam mused. "And we can trust you to keep our secrets?" He asked Bella.
"Yes." She answered. "It's not like anyone would believe me if I went around yelling about horsed sized wolves that turn into people and vampires, phoenix's and demon's. The would put me in the padded room for sure!" She joked.
Jake looked at her adoringly with a wide smile on his face. It was clear that he harbored strong feelings for Bella.
"It's so great to see you smiling again Bella. Maybe Jay here is really good for you after all." He said, then proceeded to pull her into a hug.
"Yeah, she is helping me see that there is more to life that is worth living without Edward around. It's also really nice that I have someone to talk to about what's really going on in my life now. I couldn't do that before." She answered him, looking in my direction with a grateful smile that I returned.
I looked down at my watch and saw that it was nearly six o'clock. The neighbor's were going to be dropping Rayne off soon.
"Hey guys, I hate to cut this short, but I need to be home for Rayne. Come by the house anytime. You guys remember where it is from last time I was here right?" I asked.
"Yup we do! We will see you guys soon. Remember you also have an open invite on the Rez too." Sam told me as he pulled me into a hug, then passed me over to Paul, then Jake who had just finished hugging Bella.
"Bye." Bella and I said at the same time as we started walking towards the tree line where I loaded her onto my back, and took off back towards the guesthouse.
Not five minutes after we set foot in the guest house, there was a knock on the door signaling that Roni had brought Ray home from her first day of day care. Roni was our neighbor who lived five miles down the road and ran a day care at her home. Her husband Mark was a police officer here in Forks and they had two little boys of their own. They were young parents in their early thirties and were great with Rayne.
"Hi Roni! Hello Rayne!" I greeted them as I picked Ray up off the ground for a hug. "How was your first day of day care? Did you have fun?"
"Yeah!" She exclaimed in her musical voice as she pointed to a picture of a pony that she must have drawn today at Roni's. "Mommy, wook at my picture I drew!"
"Wow! It's beautiful! We will have to hang it up on the fridge." I smiled as I admired her work.
"Thank you so much for keeping her late today. I had a meeting with some friends and there was no way I could bring her. I appreciate you bringing her home for me." I said appreciatively.
"Oh it was no problem at all. She is a pleasure to have and is so mature for her age. It's hard to believe she just turned three." Roni praised. Rayne was smart enough to understand that she could not use or show any of her demonic abilities around humans and was very good about being discrete.
"I know. She is three going on thirty. Sometimes she too smart for her own good." I laughed. "By the way, Roni this is my friend Bella Swan. She goes to school with me. Bella, this is my neighbor Veronica Mills, Roni for short. She runs the daycare at her house where Ray goes."
I looked at Bella who had a look of shock and curiosity on her face as she looked at Rayne, but she snapped out of it and stuck her hand out for Roni to shake.
"It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too!" She shook Bella's hand and then a look of recognition crossed her face. "Aren't you Charlie Swan's daughter?"
"Yes, I am." Bella smiled.
"Oh! I've heard all about you from your father! My husband Mark works with Charlie at the station. He says your one hell of a cook!" She commended.
"Oh yes! My Dad is really fond of Mark. He's also a really nice guy." Bella voiced.
"Yeah, he takes great care of me, Tyler and Christopher." She smiled to herself at the thought of her family. "Anyways, I need to get going. Mark's got dinner on the grill and the boys are in the car waiting. I'll see you on Monday morning Jayden! Bye Ray! Bye Bella" She waved as she turned and walked to her car.
Once her car was out of sight, I walked out the door with Rayne following behind with her bag and picture and I waited for Bella to appear before I locked the front door to the guest house. They both followed me out to the shed where I helped Rayne into her car seat in the back seat of the Gator and then got into the driver's side while Bella took her seat on the passenger side.
I could feel her gaze pass between myself and Rayne in curiosity. I couldn't blame her. After everything I told her about both my kinds, she was probably really confused.
"After I get her settled in, I promise to explain everything." I promised.
She nodded her head as we turned across the back yard towards the driveway then parked in front of the garage.
I got out of the Gator and went and unbuckled Ray from her car seat as she played with a Barbie she took out of her bag.
"Can I watch Tinker Bell when we get inside?" Ray asked with hope filled in her green eyes.
I smiled at my daughter and nodded my head as I picked her up and put her down on the pavement. Her blonde curls bounced as she ran towards the front door as we followed, then reached up on her tippy toes to open the door.
Once I got Ray settled in with some hamburger helper and a sippy cup full of human blood with Tinker Bell's 'The Great Fairy Rescue' playing on the television, Bella and I sat at the table where she looked at me expectantly.
"Three years ago, a vampire friend of mine named Peter showed up at my front door with a newborn hybrid baby. Do you remember what I said about what happens when a male demon impregnates a human?" I asked. She nodded her head in conformation, so I continued. "He said that my mate, whoever he is, had unknowingly gotten her pregnant. She died during child birth. Peter's gift made him aware of the situation and he went down the the hospital to observe the child. When she began to show supernatural signs, he had to take her. He explained that she was different from the standard human/demon hybrid, that she held powers that wasn't of the norm for demonic children and that she didn't have the succubus traits.
"Peter knew that the bests place for her would be with me as her mother and that she will one day be reunited with her father. I immediately agreed and fell in love with her instantly. Peter is the one that told me to move here and that he will be joining me at some point. You see, Peter just knows shit. It's his gift. Not like your friend Alice, he doesn't have visions. Information just comes to him in his mind out of the blue."
"Oh, OK. I get it." She said. "She is a beautiful child. If I were you, I would have done the same thing, taking her in." She paused. "So, what gift does she have?"
"She has a special kind of shield." I began. "When she places it over you and touches you, she can send you pictures and thoughts. One day she won't have to touch us, but she is young and won't start training until she hits puberty. She can use her shield to move things or protect you. It's quite a handy gift, and since I now have it as well and perfected it, I will be able to teach her everything she needs to know when the time comes."
Time passed and pretty soon it was time for Bella to go to bed. I had already put Rayne to bed two hours earlier. Since she is still half human, she needs her sleep. I warned her that I had to hunt and that if she needs anything, Bella is in the next room over. Bella was fine with watching her for the night and made sure to leave her door open for Rayne in case she needed her.
I left the grounds and made way for Seattle and it's grungiest area. I fed from a man who murdered his wife and child in their sleep and we on the prowl for a young woman to rape. My gifts come in handy when I hunt and I made an effort to only hunt those who are a menace to society. I also fed from a drug dealer who sold drugs to under age kids. I made sure to carry an extra jug to fill and bring home for Rayne when she has her glass with dinner each night.
I dumped the bodies and was just about to turn back when I spotted two pairs of red eyes coming out from within the shadows.
I smelled the air and smirked as I discovered who the scent belonged to. Peter.
"Well if it isn't the all knowing Yoda himself, finally arrived. Took ya long enough!" I mocked sarcastically.
"Oh hush up!" Peter chuckled. "We were in the neighborhood and decided to come sooner rather than later. Hows that Niece of mine?" He asked as we began walking towards the edge of the city.
"Wonderful. She so smart of life. She is very outgoing and will talk anyone's ear off who's willing to listen. A charismatic little one." I described.
"Sounds like someone else we know? Doesn't it Char?" He turned to the female next to him with his signature cocky grin plastered on his face. "By the way, Char this is my good friend Jayden I've told you about. Jay, meet the missus, Charlotte."
"It's a pleasure ta meet cha, Sug. Peter, here, told me a lot about you. And please, family calls me Char." She smiled politely.
"Good to finally meet Peter's better half." I reached out and shook her hand, smiling back at her stunning features.
Char was a thin woman with a shapely body and about 5'6 with platinum blonde hair that fell in waves to her butt and had red eyes like her mate. Peter is about 6'3 with thick, sandy blonde hair. His body wasn't overly toned, but you could tell that whatever he did as a human kept him on shape.
We hit the edge of the city and after briefly looking around for prying eyes, took off running. I slowed myself down to vampire speed in order to keep up with them and we talked along the way.
"So Peter, is there a reason why you chose now for this reunion, by any chance?" I interrogated him.
"I'm not quite sure yet. All I know is that we all needed to be here and for how long, I'm not sure." He shrugged. I nodded in understanding of how his gift worked, considering I could use it as my own if need be, but decided to leave all the Yoda nonsense to him.
A/N: So, what did everyone think of the interaction with the wolves? Did you guys like Rayne? Isn't she cute! And Peter and Char are here! What will Bella think when she wakes to find them? LoL, All-Know'in silly mofo! Hehe! Anyway, any idea's why they're there? Review!
