True Vamp Chapter 4: Sun Rise (It'll be from Bella's point of view next chap—I promise.)

(Ash PoV)

"What the hell are you?"

I deliberated for a second on whether or not to tell the truth; after all, if he had to ask, it meant he didn't know about our kind, and from the scent that permeated these woods, this Pack had obviously had dealings with Hybrids, perhaps the male that I had seen earlier had been one of them?

Now that I thought of it, Bella had had the lingering scent of a Hybrid on her, before she had been turned and her new vampiric blood had washed all old scents away. Why had the Hybrid been near her, if he had no intention of drinking from, or turning her? Or had he been after something other then blood? I shuddered at the thought and the horrible memory that arose with it.

I decided to be vague, but keep within the lines of truth. "There are many things that I am; I have been called many names: demon; angel; devil; god, I have been both worshiped, and hated." I paused; I could see apprehension and confusion in the Alpha's eyes, though his face stayed calm.

"I have lived for five hundred years, and I am young for my kind, though many fledglings of our species consider me an Elder, as none older than I have been seen for centuries." I paused again; what should I tell them? Suddenly beside me Bella clutched her throat, eyes widening as she gasped. She was starting to get thirsty. I'd have to take her hunting as soon as possible.

Sam's eyes flickered over to Bella; where she sat on her knees, huddled into my side and shivering. Her eyes flicked up and she locked eyes with him before quickly looking away.

Sam stared at her, and then he looked at me again. "You, you're a vampire, aren't you? One of the Old Ones! And you've turned her into one too!" His voice was hard and accusing at the end, almost a growl. He started shaking, and I knew that he was close to attacking. Again. Oh for the love of…!

Sighing in exasperation, I did the one thing I should've done the second I saw the wolves coming: I grabbed Bella tightly, but gently—conscious of her almost healed arm— and spreading my wings wide, leaped into the air, rising so high and so fast that before even a second had passed we were high over the tree tops. Bella gasped in fright and I chuckled. She'd get used to it soon enough.

Far below, Sam exploded back into his wolf form with a howl of rage. Turing to the east, and seeing the faint light of dawn—so faint in fact, that no human or even Hybrid would have seen it so early—rising over the horizon, I sighed again.

What a night this must have been for Bella Swan. Knowing that she wouldn't have time to hunt now, I sent her an apologetic glance and flew to the west, away from the sun. I would have to find a safe place for us to sleep, and fast.

And so with Bella Swan, my second Fledgling and daughter of sorts, I flew as fast as I could to the west, with my new companion—if she chose to stay with me that is—in my arms, staring in wonder at the world below her as we raced the dawn.

AN: I'm sorry it's so short, and if the ending with the wolves was boring…but then again, who said that wolves' involvement in this story was over?

Anyways! 10 reviews for this chap!
