A/N: First fan fic. Please be honest with reviews!
Thanks Kawaii-Inu-mimi for your honest feedback. Made me write better I think.
Disclaimer: IT'S NOT MINE!I took a deep breath, a habit that had stuck with me from my human life to relieve myself from the tension. I stood by my car gathering my thoughts and trying to decide upon a plan of action. I had encountered werewolves before and knew exactly how vicious and unforgiving they could be. My panic heightened and I took a moment to calm myself. I would be no of use if I were panicking.
Using my gift I tried to find Simon and Nicky by their gifts but had no success. I would have to rely upon my vampire senses to find my family.
I opened my senses and followed the stench that would lead me to my family. The scent led me passed the house and into the deep, dark, forest that loomed by its side grimly. I followed a rough path looking for signs of a scuffle and finding none.
Running through the forest, I realised I had no idea where I was and the presence of the werewolves worried me. I didn't know what could attack me whilst I was alone and more vulnerable than I would usually be.
After a few minutes of running through the dense trees and undergrowth I found myself in a small clearing. The tracks had covered this area completely. The smell was getting stronger and stronger I was close now. I ran another 100m and then stopped, scanning the scenery for signs of my family of wolves. To my immense relief, saw a small pack of werewolves in their wolf form with Simon and Nicky close by in a clearing further ahead. My family seemed quite relaxed but I couldn't be sure.
A gust of wind came from behind me, sending my scent to my family and the pack of wolves. There were three of them, one black, one dark grey and one light brown in colour. The black wolf was the largest and the other two flanked him. I noticed that they all had squares of fabric tied around one of their back legs.
The wolves' heads snapped away from Simon and Nicky and in my direction. Simon and Nicky's facial expressions turned to one of relief mixed with a small amount of panic.
I sprinted until when I was about fifty meters from the wolves I slowed to a walk, not wanting to encourage them to chase me. Their intelligent eyes met mine. I refused to turn my back on them as I walked to my family.
I went to stand by my family and quickly greeted them using Simons gift. I then focused on the wolves.
We stared at each other, wolves to vampires, topaz to deep brown.
Finally Simon broke the silence. He cleared his throat.
"We are planning to live here," Simon explained with a level tone. The dark grey wolf snarled and started forward, violent tremors passing through his body. The black wolf growled softly at him. The grey wolf stopped suddenly, a look of calmness and yet frustration passed over his face.
"We do not hunt humans and our control is perfect. It has not escaped our notice that seven vampires are residing here already." Simon said, his tone still calm and level.
"May we be included in this peace which you hold with each other?" Simon asked cautiously. The grey wolf looked as though he was going to step forward again, the tremors less violent this time but still strong. The leader stilled him with just a glance this time.
"We shall sign a treat should you wish, pledging our peace. If we break any of your rules we are at your mercy." Simon said serenely. Nicky and I turned to stare at him.
Are you insane? I sent to his mind. Simon gave a small smile and gave his head an almost undetectable shake.
The wolves turned to look at each other, their expressions puzzled. They seemed to be having a conversation with each other but without words or facial expressions.
They shrunk back into the forest. A few minutes later they reappeared. I smiled, suddenly realising what the fabric on their legs had been for.
The three wolves stood in close formation, all with just a pair of cut off shorts on. They were all huge; the shortest one was at least six and a half foot.
The one stood in the middle was the obvious leader. He was taller than the other two. He was less bulky than one, but more than the other. His silky black hair was cropped close to his head and an air of calmness was coming from him. His face was composed; the only sign of his tension were his lips that were pressed into a thin line.
The wolf on the left was shorter than the leader by a few inches but more than made up for it with much more muscle. His hair was also cropped close to his head. His face was tense and a look of fury dominated it as he focussed on us.
The third wolf, standing on the right, was nearly as tall as the leader. He was leaner than the other two but looked just as dangerous. The wolf's hair was down to his chin and hung like a silky black curtain. The wolf looked calm and curious.
"The other vampires here had a treaty with the elders from our pack. We have to honour their decisions." The wolf leader said calmly.
"You say that your control is perfect. What if a human had an openly bleeding wound? Would it be so perfect then?" the leader questioned more aggressively.
"I have had over two hundred years of practicing resisting the lure of human blood. Both members of my family have had nearly one hundred years respectively of living in human civilisation. If our control was not perfect and weren't safe for the humans to be around us, we wouldn't put ourselves in their civilisation." Simon said more heatedly. His eyes were scorching, showing the werewolves his emotions.
"You may stay for a trial period of two months. In those two months we shall decide whether or not you shall be allowed to stay after. Your behaviour will help us to decide." The leader said with authority.
"Sam, we can't do tha…" The stocky werewolf on his left started indignantly. Before he could finish his sentence he was cut off. The leader had put his hand on his chest; this was enough to calm the young wolf. I assumed that the wolf who spoke was the grey wolf that kept protesting before.
"In two months we shall meet you here again with our decision." The leader, Sam, said warningly.
"We greatly appreciate your hospitality and shall respect your wishes." Simon bowed his head, showing the wolves respect.
The wolves nodded curtly and shrunk into the shadows, tremors passing through their bodies as they morphed back into their wolf form.
We stood in silence for a few minutes before I broke the silence by exhaling loudly. Simon ran his hands through his hair and Nicky's shoulders slumped.
"That was close. I thought we were goners for a minute then!" Simon chuckled.
"Who would've thought that this tiny town up in Washington would have about every kind of monster going in it?" I said lightly. Nicky gave a small smile and shrugged her shoulders.
We all turned back towards our home and started to walk back, all of us feeling relieved. The events of the day could have been so much worse. We all realised that, all joking aside, we were lucky to have walked away from the encounter with the wolves.
Simon and Nicky went straight back home but I decided to hunt quickly whilst I was in the forest.
By the time I arrived home after hunting, it was already three o'clock in the morning. A few hours before school, where I would see the Cullen's and the Hale's again.
We would have plenty to discuss.
A/N : And there is chapter 4. I must confess that I'm in a state of shock. I wasn't actually expecting anyone to read my story. I was quite wrong.
HA! Everyone thought that would be the introduction of Jacob Black. However this is set at the time of twilight. Jake doesn't become a wolf until new moon.
