I turned back around and saw the wolves staring at me. I refused to look at any one of them in the eye. Eyes were what gave a person away, and if one wolf saw my eyes, then they all would. Especially Jake and Paul. Stupid mind link.
Who are you?
I jumped back in surprise and let out a loud whimper. Where the heck did that come from?
Sam walked over and stood in front of me. I kept my eyes to the side of him, hoping that he wouldn't notice who I was.
I'm sorry if I scared you. Don't you know about the mind link?
I know about the one between your own pack, but I never knew that you could communicate between two different packs, I said back to him. This was incredibly strange. I thought you could only communicate with other wolves in your own pack.
That makes sense. The Alpha's of two different packs can form a mind link. But who are you?
I struggled with this answer. Should I tell them now who I am? But with Edward so close, he could easily read their minds and then I would blow my cover. Just a friend, I said.
You can tell us your name, you know.
I know I can, and maybe I will, but not until later.
He let out a huff. Okay then. Let's try this. Are a boy or a girl? I would think that you're most likely a boy, but no offense, if you are a boy, you sound like a girl.
I'm a girl.
His eyes widened in surprise. Really? So that's means Leah isn't the only girl shapeshifter! Wait until the Elders hear about this. Are you Quileute?
Part Quileute. My grandfather was half Quileute.
So do you live in La Push?
No.
Forks?
I paused, not sure what to say. If I say Forks, then they'll be closer at figuring out who I am.
No, I finally answered.
That's a lie, he said. You took to long to answer that.
I let out a huff as well. Fine, I do.
"Why are you thinking in Japanese?" Edward asked. I turned my head around, and saw Edward staring at Alice. Alice stared back, her face still not revealing anything. I internally thanked her.
"You know that I think in that language sometimes, Edward. No need to get so mad," Alice said.
"You usually only think in that language when you have something to hide."
"Usually is the key word. I'm not hiding anything now," Alice said passively.
"I don't think now is the time to be arguing," Carlisle said. "Tell us what they are saying instead, Edward."
He looked back over at Sam. "I can't figure out what the new mutt is thinking because I can't hear her thoughts," he said. I involuntarily whimpered. "But they found out that she lives in Forks, she's a girl, and her grandfather was half Quileute."
"So another person can evade your power?" Carlisle asked.
"I suppose," Edward said, getting madder. I knew that he never liked not being able to read my mind, but the thought that he couldn't read another's mind must make him furious, especially if he thought that I was just some "mutt."
"No name?"
"She's not saying."
Carlisle looked over toward me, and I once again evaded his eyes. "You can tell us what your name is. None of us are going to hurt you."
I shook my head no. I'll be going now, I said to Sam.
I turned around and began to walk away, feeling the breeze rush through my fur. Before I got even ten steps away, a loud whimper sounded from behind me. I recognized it as Paul's, and I couldn't make myself move. I felt drawn to him, like I wanted to make the pain he was feeling go away.
"Why don't you come back with us and tell us your story?" Carlisle suggested once he saw that I stopped moving. I mentally thanked him for giving me an excuse to come back and see Paul, without blowing my cover. I turned around and walked back over, standing as close to Paul as I could without giving myself away.
I snuck a glance at him, and my heart broke. He was lying on the ground, his paws over his head, and his eyes shut. A brown wolf, who I assumed to be Jared, was watching over him, trying to move Paul's paws with his nose.
With no luck, Jared tried to push Paul over. Paul still wouldn't move, so Jared bit him. Paul jumped up and tried to bit him back, but Jared moved just fast enough out of the way to get away from the full blow. Paul still nicked Jared in the stomach, though. I felt proud of him for getting Jared.
Even hurt, Jared had a proud grin on his face, probably from getting Paul back to his normal self. Paul growled at Jared, and Sam stepped between them. He glared at both of them, and Paul stopped looking at Jared, while Jared took the smug grin off of his face.
"So is that a yes to telling us your story?" Carlisle asked.
When Carlisle spoke, Paul took his attention to me. I was still looking at Paul, so when he looked at me, our eyes met. Fuck! I thought, panicked.
Everything after that happened extremely fast.
Sam looked over at me with a confused expression, so I assumed that I swore out loud.
Paul's eyes widened and happiness filled them. A wolfish grin broke out onto his face, and he was about to walk towards me.
Jake, however, whipped his head around to face Paul, and then back towards me. With a loud snarl, he lunged at Paul, who was defenseless at the moment. He threw Paul into a tree, which broke and fell from the impact. Paul stood up and lunged back at Jake, scratching him in the back, which caused his fur to turn slightly red from the blood.
I ran towards them to stop the fight, but Edward pulled me and threw me away from them. He winced as I crashed into the tree, but he was still fuming. "Why didn't you tell me!" he roared.
"Stop it, Edward!" Alice yelled. She stood between me and Edward.
I looked around me, at all of the chaos. I tried shutting my eyes to ignore it all, but the sounds of all the fighting still surrounded me, mocking me for what I caused.
