AN:

I've planned to have a slash pairing. It will involve Jasper and Joseph my OC. Due to the fact is cleaning house I will not go into graphic detail of the slash scenes.

Ch. 5

Joseph and I spent years in America. We built and owned the largest cattle ranch Texas. We also moved to Wyoming and built a ranch for horse breeding. Through the years we built up businesses and property around the country. Never staying more than ten years at a time. We also ran into amusing problems from time to time. Like in 1920, Joseph decided to call on a old widow that had five daughters. She decided he would marry her oldest girl who was 25. A spinster. The amusing thing was that Joseph thought he was going to marry the widow. It wasn't till the day of the wedding that he found out he was marrying Annabelle. I never saw him run so fast that day. By the time I found him he had run and hid near the docks of San Fransico. But enough of this reminising. I have a job to do.

Through the years I have kept my friendship with the Volturi alive and well. They would contact me and ask me if I would do various favors for them. The one I agreed to do now was to look into the Cullen coven. It's rumored that they have let a human know of us. I hope for Aro's sake this is unture. Once apon a time the Cullen coven leader was Volturi until he tired of the bloodshed by his brothers. Charlise Cullen. A cold one who not only feeds on animals but is a doctor. He along with his coven all are what they term vegaterians. Amusing is it not. That a vampire is eating what amounts to toffu. Day after day surrounding himself with injured humans and from what I have heard, never slipped in his diet. The other members that have the apperance of teenagers all attend school. Foolish ideals these vegaterians have. They are family not a coven. They do not feed on humans. They do not embrace their true selves. Like nosferatu, the cold ones have beast like instincts. They have a destined mate and they are more dominate and/or submissive to their intended then others. The nature of the beast is shared through out the supe world. Many try to deny their instincts. This is the reason that accidents happen and humans are slaughtered. Then it is up to the kings to clean up the mess. So troublesome these vampires are.

"Do you have the information that we need, Joseph?" I enquired.

He hummed while thinking of what he knew. "I have learned that the human's name is Isabella Marie Swan, age 17, moved from Phenoix to Forks to live with her father Charles Thomas Swan. He is the chief of police in Forks. Her parents seperated and divorced when the girl was little. After moving, she was considered the shinny new toy and everyone was interested in her until she began hang around the Cullens. From what I could gather, The only unmated male took interest one day and rejected the girl the next. This lasted a while till one day Edward Cullen brought Isabella to school one morning. The relationship as a Jessica Stanley called it lasted till a month ago when the Cullens left town. Isabella has not left her home since shae was found in the woods near by. She was located by a man from the Quiluete tribe down in La Push. From the scents around and near the Swan house , cold ones and what seem to be shifters have been around frequently. Though the shifter scent is more resent. I been down by La Push through the water because if there are shifters I didn't want to leave a trail. The scents are complied there around the tribe."

Shifters. That's just great. "We'll need to be carefull. The tribe here most likely are decendents from the pack of wolves the Cullens made a treaty with when they located here. It wont due to upset anyone or put them on guard, yet. If the girl truely knows what the Cullens are, she will be given the choice to turn or die. The laws are there for a reason. Aro will want to know about the pack it it is turely them. How many cold ones did you scent?"

"Two main scents, one male and one female. Another that is faint but older than the other two and is male. Most likely the leader. It seems Miss Swan is very clumsy. She has been to the hospital many times here and in Pheniox according to her hospital records. She help a high GPA until she became involved with the Cullens. Since their departure she hasn't attended school." Joseph said. "What will you do?"

I thought for a few moments and finally decided. "We will visit the girl and see what she knows. I will decide more after."

Looking up at the night sky I made another decision. Nearly fifty years ago I was bitten by a lycan that I had been sent to destroy because he had slaughter his unfaithful lover's family. Unless one carried a gene called C you couldn't survive dual bites from both vampire and lycan. I have that gene. Its the only thing that saved my life. I became a hybrid that day. All of the weakness of both spieces were no longer mine. Daylight was no bother. Nore was sliver. I still needed blood though. I didn't need sleep any longer unless seriously injured. Though my childe didn't have same shield from the sun as I. "It nears dawn, my love. I will visit the girl to day while you rest."

I turned to face him and smiled at the small pout on his face. Reaching up to cup his cheek, I pulled his head lower to kiss his forehead. "Go and sleep well. I will see you at night fall."

He grabbed me up into a hug and nodded his head. Smilling he placed me back on my feet. "Be carefull, mon ange. The shifter's will not like us being here." Turning he leapt off the roof and transformed into a red tailed hawk.

I smiled as I decided to feed before approaching the girl. I knew I had to wait for her father to leave the fouse to see her, so I had a little time to kill. Seattle was as wet as Forks it seemed. It made tracking anything harder no matter the spieces. Traveling across rooftops I headed for the run down side of the city. I sighted a warehouse in the distince near what appeared to be an abandoned construction site. I could smell chemicals on the air. Drug dealers. Perfect for a quick meal. Being a hybrid I needed both blood and flesh. I could devor a whole human and leave nothing but bones. Then anything left was taken care of by my fire. It amuses me that a vampire has the gift of fire. It sure made others leave me alone. Maybe it was my dazzling personality.

Landing softly near the doors of the warehouse, I listened for the heartbeats of the humans inside. There were two that were awake and a third that seemed to be asleep. I stopped a minute to scan their minds. Oh my! Such naughtiness. These drug dealers were the bosses that have so far escaped detection by the police. No one knew there names, not even the runners and street dealers. They are very inteligent. Tonight though, they would make their judge and jury.

I walked up to the door and knocked."Is there anyone here? My car broke down outside and I need to call for a tow."

I heard suffling and what was a gun cocking. Parinod bunch. I waited as one of them opened the door.

"There ain't no working phone here lady. You need to leave..." he stopped talking at my appearence when I stepped into the light. "Well, well darlin. I just might have a working phone afterall. Come on inside here and let ole Mike take care of you." He leered. I could feel his slimey gaze all over my body. Steppin in the building I stopped to wait for my prey to lead the way. Yes tonight I would feast on these disgusting humans. Filthy all the way down to their soul. Nothing but darkness and cruellty. "Boys we got company. This little lady needs a phone. Adian be a scout and show her where she can use one."

Walking further through the building I saw the other two dealers were waiting with predatory gazes. "Well Marvin look what Mike brought us. I been needing a new toy. Come here darlin and Marvin will show you a good time."

I put my most innocent expression on and ducked my head to look at them through my lashes. "Oh boys. You all are so helpful to little ole me. Such gentlemen. Mama sure was wrong about them big city folk." said with a southern accent. I'd do any southern belle proud. "Well boys, there is something you could do for me."

Aiden wondered over to wrap his arm over my shoulder. "What is that darlin?"

I lifted my head and smiled. "Die."
