Chapter Four
There was silence as everyone absorbed Edward's demand. Jasper nearly moaned at the overwhelming emotions that flooded his systems. Everyone was feeling too much and too fast; it was Harry's emotions that were killing him. Such a strong sense of sadness and…. It was hard to place that other feeling; not quite sadness but not really acceptance. It made Jasper want to protect him, to demand that he should be allowed to stay, but what can one person do? He'll be out numbered and out voted in a second.
Smiling sadly at the ground Harry signed. He should have known that this would happen. It was foolish to think that he would be accepted anywhere..
"Don't worry," Harry smiled as he stood up and started moving towards the door. "I leave now. I do not want to cause anyone trouble. Thank you for the food and blood.
"You don't have to go," started Jasper, ignoring Edward's glare. He knew this wrong. This child was different, important somehow. He just knew it. "You can stay a little-"
"No." he said more strongly then he spoken so far. "I will bring danger. I'll be fine. Bye."
No one moved as Harry slipped out of the door and disappeared. An anger built up in Jasper; even watching the child walk away he could feel his hurt, his fear and his sadness. This was all Edward's fault. The child was no more a threat to Bella then he was… Did Edward want him to secretly go as well?
Letting his anger get the best of him he spun round snarling at Edward. There was a reason he was feared in his past, there was a reason why he had survived his history when many perished and he was strong, stronger than most.
"Why?" he demanded snarling "Why did you do that? He was just a child; barely a month has passed since he was turned! He needed help! Couldn't you feel it?"
"Jasper," started Edward shocked. Jasper normally was so calm and cool why was he acting this way? "He's dangerous. I needed to do what best for the family."
"The family?" sneered Jasper "Or Bella?"
"That not f-"
"Enough," interrupted Alice as she placed a calming hand on Jasper's shoulder. Squeezing in a way to smooth him. " I agree with Jasper. I did sense that something would change and that danger is following him but he was not dangerous."
"What's the difference?" demand Edward.
"There is a big difference," she said as she led Jasper away. "Soon as Jasper calm down we are going after him. If we don't, I know something bad will happen. I can't see it perfectly but I can see that he is needed."
There was an uneasy silence followed as the two walked off. Had Edward got it wrong? He was normally good a t judging what was best for himself and his family, but lately he had made so many mistakes. The fiasco with Bella and Italy, the werewolves and now this… Surely he cannot have got is so wrong again?
Shaken Jacob emerged from the house. How does he even start to explain this? Casting a glance at his alpha and father waiting for him he felt the strong temptation to run. It must have pass across his face as Sam watched with careful with a look of concern. Blacks do not run. They face what haunting them; they face their fears and do not bow to anyone. Biting his lips he forced himself to meet them.
"I think we need to call a pack meeting," said Jacob as he stared straight at Sam with unreadable eyes. "Things have gotten more complicated and I need to share my memories with you, all of you."
"It is about your imprint?" said Sam as he seemed to sniff the air.
"Yes," he said calmly "But not in the way you're thinking. We need to meet now."
"Fine, excuse us Billy we-"
A blood-curling scream broke Sam off as both boys spun towards the direction of the beach. It was a young high pitched scream that echoed a unimagined pain. Only clan or pack members would be on the beach at this time of the day. Without speaking both boys thundered towards the beach, turning into wolf in one seek moment. It was as simple as breathing to the two strongest wolves in the pack.
Trying not to think as he ran away from everything as thinking just caused too much pain, too much sorrow and Harry did not think he could handle anymore. Just listening to the pounding of his feet, the rapid beating of his strange heart beat and his quick breathes as he left his emotion behind him. He had failed, he failed everyone and he lost the only person that was like family to him… The Cullens had brought it all back and now he wanted to leave it all behind him. Everyone had a breaking point and he had reached his…
Stopping suddenly he gripped a tree hard and he yelped as it snapped under his fingers. He just could not control his new vampire abilities or his magic that seem so close to the surface now. Not knowing where he was or where he ran Harry knew it was best just to keep moving, to keep running as fast and as far as he can.
Then it hit him. The feel of magic in the air; so dark and so twisted that it could only belong to one person, Bella. Harry nearly hissed as he realised this. Shivering as he felt the twisted magic being used and then a scream followed it. Without realising Harry ran in the direction of the scream; it was not very loud or anything but with his vamipiric hearing it sounded like a siren.
Bursting out of the forest and onto a beach what Harry saw twisted his insides and made his blood boil in anger. There stood Bella, laughing and giggling as two young girls twisted in agony from the Cruciatus Curse. One was only about 6 or 7 while the other had to be in her teens.
His magic surged with his rage and it blasted at Bella. It was not a spell or anything but pure magic lashing out and it hurt. Bella nearly screamed in pain as the blast spend her flying backwards, crashing in heap in the sand. Annoyed she rose herself up but grinning sickly sweetly as harry.
"Why if it isn't 'ittle baby potty?" she laughed as she faced him with her wand." Has little boy finally stopped running away? Come to play with the big girls and boys?"
Harry did not answer; he could not explain it but it was as if his magic was alive and it knew what to do. Moving quickly he stood in front of the two girls and was ready to duel one of most deadly witches on the planet.
