Well, I said this chapter would be more detailed, and you shall get just that. I am dedicating this chapter to BellaandEdward4EVER2580. Thanks for all your kind words in your reviews. Finally, forget what I said about 5 reviews a chapter. It's just too much fun writing this story. From now on, give me one review, and I'll have the next chapter up as soon as I humanly can. Now, on to the next installment of…THE FORGOTTEN SHADOW!

The Forgotten Shadow

Chapter 7

Joma's Point of View

"So this is what it feels like," I said. It felt incredible, indescribable, unbelievable…

She smiled at me. Now, after the long weeks of her training, I could fully look upon her beauty. Seeing the cutters, and then Qullen go through the change had been very painful for me, but they had come through just fine. Better than fine, they looked GORGEOUS. But after Qullen had woken up… It was exactly like I had seen her after I had wiped out, but now, after her change, it was as if the laws of science had agreed to let the impossible happen.

All I could do was stare. And now, after MY change, along with the senses and enhanced abilities Zane gave me (plus how he had made us so we could remember being human) there were no words to describe how she looked. And there probably never would be.

Qullen looked happy, but also a little concerned. I could see the questions on her face. How is he awake so fast? Does he remember who I am? Does he remember ANYTHING? I laughed inwardly to myself. It was so funny that she couldn't remember I had asked her the exact same questions after she had changed.

I was about to answer, when I heard a strange sound. It sounded like metal smashing against stone. Then the smell hit my nose. The smell of metal, fire, sweat, and gunpowder. Then Qullen, who had been crouching in the small tent I had been sleeping in, fell forward onto my lap.

She lay there unmoving. My new sight dissected her laying there. I could see the new whiteness of her new, rock like skin. The way her chocolate brown hair flowed down her back like a waterfall. But there was one thing that was out of place. A large, metal looking object was stuck onto the back of her head.

Slowly, the memories flooded back to me. The day Zane taught us about his way of fighting. "These bullets are incendiary" he had said. Qullen had been killed.

I had taken her focus away from the fight, and now she was gone. Because of me, waking up too quickly, Qullen had been shot. I felt two things. Unbearable horror, and mind bending rage. Horror that my perfect angel was now gone, and rage that I had allowed it to happen. Then I felt something else. Up until now, I had been using the vampire part of my brain. The calm, cool, calculating part of my head had been processing all the information. But the rage I had felt had triggered the other part of my mind. The ruthless, merciless, werewolf half of my brain now awakened, and wanted some action.

I looked at the gun still in Qullens hand. It had a big W on it. Code for "Werewolf ammo." I sniffed the air. I could smell the scent of the being who had shot Qullen in the back of the head. Werewolf. {Perfect} I thought to myself.

No sooner had the thought for revenge come to my head, then I found myself outside, Qullen's gun in my hand, smelling for her killer. I felt movement to my right, and moved my head back a sixteenth of an inch back. I watched as a bullet whizzed just in front of my eyes. It burned a harsh white color. Incendiary.

The scent coming off of the bullet smelled kind of husky, and slightly of the woods. A werewolf. I turned, and using the vapor trail coming off the bullet, aimed the pistol in my hand toward the enemy. But instead of just firing, I thought about what this werewolf would have done after trying to shoot me. He, or she, would have tried to go for Fausto, who was currently in an engaged firefight with another vampire. Calculating where my current enemy had been standing, and where he would be to get a better shot, I pointed three feet in front of him.

He had fallen into my trap. I had estimated that hearing my shot, he would jump three feet forward, thinking he had dodged my bullet. The small squelch of bullet meeting flesh was then answered by a large thud. I walked over to the corpse of my enemy.

He looked no older than Fausto. He also had not been in wolf form when I had hit him. Not that it made any difference. "THEY GOT SARGE! RETREAT!!" There were no sounds other than running feet.

My first thought was to run after them. After all, Qullen's killer was still alive. {LET'S GO!} I shouted. I had found that they could hear my thoughts a lot clearer than they had when they were human. Tally, Shay, Fausto, and Ho all agreed. Tachs and David were already starting to sprint. It was Zane who stopped us. "Don't waste your time. They're gone."

"But….Qullen…." I managed to choke out. "What?" a voice said behind me. It sounded like honey on a lolly pop. I spun around in a 128th of a second. Standing there in all her pale perfection, was my Qullen. I started feeling around myself, feeling for bullet holes. Had we all died? There was no other way she could be here.

She read my expression, and laughed. She swept me into a kiss, and both of my halves thoroughly enjoyed themselves. {But…You…Bullet…} I managed to splutter out. She laughed again, it sounded like a chorus of birds chirping a sweet melody on a perfect spring morning, and reached into her pocket. She pulled out a crunched piece of silver. [I was just shocked] she thought back to me.

I couldn't answer. All I could do was enjoy this moment. Now, knowing that we were all safe and alive, I could fully marvel in her beauty. But, as always, she beat me to the punch. [Don't even think about telling me how beautiful I look. I've been like this for weeks. It's your turn to be spoiled.] I smiled. And then I heard the crack. An object smacked into my head. And, as everything started to go black, I could hear Qullen screaming…
