Chapter song: MCR- blood


"Thomas, discard of that body will, you." I hissed. He could be so illiterate sometimes.

"Yes, dear. Please forgive me of my careless actions."

He dummped the body of 21 year old Robert Walsh in the back of Hunting Grove Commnity Church. Poor man was scared to death when he saw Thomas jump out of his car and attack him. I taught him well in the element of surprise.

"Stephanie, love, his corspe is properly disposed behind a tall shrub." He informed me when he got back.

I drifted gracefully towards him and pecked his lips. "Thank you, Thomas. Now go fetch Ryan and Lee. I need to see them."

He nodded and disappeared into the woods.

I leaned agianst the car door of Robert Walsh and looked into the forest, awaiting Thomas's return. Poor Mr. Walsh he was really a nice man. Maybe we should have made him one of us, but then again Augosto wouldn't like that very much.

Suddenly, I heard someone approach me. I turned my head away from the empty forest and looked straight ahead at my little visitor. Hope he doesn't smell good. From here it seemed like he was a cucassion male in his twenties. Adios Meos! I hope he doesn't hit on me then I'd really have to take his life. I digged in my pocket for my red sunglasses. I pulled them on to shield my glowing, red eyes.

As he stepped closer, I got a better look at him. He wasn't bad looking at all in fact. His strange powdery skin gave off a perfect glow in the moon light, while his eyes and hair were dark as night.

"Hello, beautiful, what are you doing out here all alone? Its pretty dangerous out here." He asked in a strangely smoothed voice.

I smiled brightly, flashing my prefectly white teeth. "I just flew in from Mexico about an hour ago and I was waiting for someone at this chrurch to come escort me around forks city."

"Mexico, huh? Intresting. So this person your looking for, do I know him?" He looked around the empty parking lot.

"Maybe, maybe not." I purred.

He staggered back a little. Good, he feared me. I heard the trees rustle in the woods. I could tell Thomas and the others would be here in a couple of minutes. This youbg man had to go before he'd be put in to temptations path.

"Uh, sir, it seems as though I must leave. I'm surely going to be late if I don't leave now. Good night, young man." I pushed off the car and started to walk away.

He grabbed my arm and forced me back, but I'm ten thousands time stronger than him so I got awat easily.

"Unhand me, peasent." I groweled.

"I'll come with you." he insisted.

"No, now leave or you'll be sorry." I threatned.

He flinched back at my harsh words and stormed off. "Watever."

I growled. I should have taken his miserable life. But I held myself together. I disappeared into the woods to find Thomas and the others. I found them standing near a tall wipping willow.

"Stephanie, what was all that about?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah it sounded like you were arguing with someone." Lee chimed in.

I sighed. "Si. He idiot was trying to charm me, but It didn't work."

Thomas growled loudly, "Where is that peasant so I can rip his head off?"

"Thomas, Thomas, calm down let's not get hasty."

He calmed down immedaitely." Sorry, love."

I quickly forgot about what has just happened and decided to ask about there game. I needed to know if they found someone worth telling Augosto. I perched myself on a log and smiled up at them. " So, do tell me what game you caught this evening."

Ryan stepped out of the and began to speak. "I caught a beautiful red head named Amanda Reed. She was only fifteen year old, but she smelled delightful. But too bad she wasn't as good as that man we hunted a half a century ago."

"Will the search ever end?" I sighed. " okay, very well then. Gazell, darling who was your lucky victim tonight?"

Gazell didn't move up, she just stood in place looking down at her nails. She showed no emotions at all as usaual. " Sixty-seven year old Omar Jenks. He was old you see, so he didn't put up much of a fight. I'm pretty sure he had already had a heart attack when he saw me." A small smile played around the corner of her full lips. "He didn't taste very good at all. Very bitter."

I gave her a sly smile once she finished. " Excellent. But I advise you to go after younger prey."

She nodded at me and then went back to exmaning her nails.

"Lee, who was your lucky victim tonight?"

I liked Lee alot. She was a skilled fighter and an excellent leader. I could always count on her to keep the others in line. And unlike Gazell, she was a naturally happy person all the time. No matter what the situation.

"I hunted fifty-two year old Jamie Dunst. She was very young looking woman. She had strawberry blond hair down her back and tanned skin. She tasted excellent almost a tangy speriment." she chuckled. "But she can't compare to the man we found a century ago."

I hopped up from the log I was perched on . "Well, we must hurry and find better game before Augusto gets impatient. We'll have to go back to Caius and see if he had found something for us."

"But, not everyone can go. Maybe Ryan, Gazell, and I could stay behind whiled you and Thomas go," Lee suggested.

I deliberated that for a moment, but quickly decided it was the best idea, " Very wisely thought out, Lee. But I do have a tinsy little job for you all."

They all leaned forward.

"You all must search for a home we can stay in for a few days. It has to be isolated- away from any human life. Thomas an I will be gone for atleast a week or two. So get to searching." I smiled at them warmily.

They all nodded and dashed into the dark forest.

"We can leave first thing in the morning. I'll go buy us more presentable clothes and get our plane tickets, so stay out of sight, dear." I warned him.

He nodded." Can do."

I gave him a goodbye peck and headed out the woods. I had enough money for the clothes and plane tickets, but I would still have to make it last. I took a ponytail holder from my pocket and pulled my hair up in a high ponytail. I walked into the busy streets of port angelos and saw the bright neon lights light up the street. I looked on both sides of the street to find a decent store to shop at. Even though none of them really suited my style. Hollister was way too preppy, American eagle didn't real suit my taste, and Aeropostal was too high schoolish. I groaned. I liked these stores because of the clothes, but I was going to go visit a very powerful vampire coven. I needed something more elegant and tasteful.

I finally came across a store called K & G Fashion. These clothes literally screamed elegant and proffesional. Without another thought I walked into the store and started my search for Thomas and I's clothes. A tall white haired male greeted me as I walked further into the store.

"Hello, welcome to K & G Fashon. Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked.

I cleared my throat. "Umm...yes can you point me in the direction of the lady department?"

He smiled down at me." Sure. Just keep going straigt and then make a left. It will be right there."

"Thank you, sir."

"My pleasure."

I took the direction he told me to take and it landed me right in the ladies department. I didn't take me too long to find what I need either. I picked out a blue button down blouse and a pair of black shorts. I found a pair of white flats on a clearance rack that topped my outfit out perfectly. Once I was finished picking out my outfit, I went off to go find Thomas's. He didn't really care about stylish clothes too much. All that matter to him was that they fit and they were comfrontable. So I walked away from the woman sectiona and quickly found the men's section.

Their clothes weren't as casual as I would have like them to be. They were mostly suites and ties. I frowned. I searched around harder and harder for more casual looking clothes. Soon, I came across a pair of black faded jeans and a blue and white stripped collard shirt. I grabbed a pair of lofers off the rack, through them over my arm along with the other clothes, and then made my way to the cash register. I laid them out on the counter and let the short brunette scan them. The total came up to $145. 18. Wow, K & G is pretty pricey.

I pulled out the money and handed it to the lady. She gave me my reciept and handed me the bagged items. I nodded and smiled at her and then dashed out the store. I sped walked until I was compelety out of human sight and then I dashed for the woods. I went back to same spot I left Thomas in and saw that he was leaning up against a tall wipping willow tree, looking at the ground. His head snapped up when he heard me appoarch.

"Hello, love." He smiled and flashed to my side.

I began to remove his clothes out the bag. I shoved them in his hand, urging him to hurry and change. " Hurry, sweetie so we can get the tickets and leave."

He nodded and started removing his old, messy clothes. I pulled my clothes off and started to put my new ones on. Both Thomas and I were done changing into our clothes in record time. I left my old clothes on the ground cause there was really no point in taking them with me. Thomas did the same.

"You look dashing, honey." Thomas said sweetly.

I held out my hand to for him. He took it gratefully. "Thank you, darling. And so do you."

He winked at me.

"Now, lets go."

We ran through the woods at full speed. The airport wasn't far from here so we made it just in time. We straightened up our clothes and hair and then walked in the terminal. I gave a Thomas a pair of green contacts so his red eyes would be hidden. I placed my brown contacts in my eyes and walked up to the receptionist who was typing on her computer. She looked up at me and smiled. Her smile was bitter though. I wonder why?

"Hello, welcome to Forks airport. What can I do for you?" She sneered the last part.

I frowned back and grimace. She had some nerve. " Yes, I need two tickets to italy. First class."

" Very well then. Then next flight leaves in about an hour or so. And that will be $650.78."

I smiled and and took out the money and handed it to her. She almost snatched it out of my hand. I growled at her mecingly. She flinched and took a step back. She typed something into her computer and then handed me my tickets. I snatched them out of her hand. Dumb bitch. I turned away and walked back to Thomas.

"Are you alright, Step? You seem upset." Thomas noted.

"I'm Fine." I said between qlenched teeth.

"No your not. Did that women back there upset you?" He pressed.

"Dammit, Thomas. Yes she upset me okay."

He flinched away from me. "Sorry. But I think I know why she was such and unpleasent towards you."

"Why?" I sighed.

He leaned down and whispered in my ear," She's Jealous."

I turned to look at him. " No way. Why?"

"For one, your with me and two, your simply beautiful." He smiled.

A blushed crept on my cheeks and he laughed. He knew I was flattered by his words.

We walked to our terminal and sat down. The plane wasn't going to take us directly to Italy. We had to take a few stops in different states. First we would stop in Denver and then we would take another plane out of the country. We were in for a plane ride and I was getting really tired too. So atleast I had something to do on the way there. Sleep. One of the many perks of being like me.

I guess I had fallen asleep on the bench, because the next thing I knew we were up in th air. I was laid out on Thomas's lap while his hand drapped over my arms. I feel back into my deep slumber.

I hoped feverenlty that Caius could give us more information on where to find this delicous human. He had only given us a little bit of info on the human's whereabouts, but nothing else. He had to give us more to work with so we could hurry and find the human. I don't want Agusto getting testy. I didn't want any of my coven to die.


It took us a total of twelve hours to arrive in Italy. I was already awake by now. Thomas took my hand and lead me out the plane and into the crowded terminal. We had to dodge our way out of the crowd. There were so many people reuniting with there familys and tourist ready to go home. We finally made our way out he terminal and into the crisp evening air.

"Now all we have to do is look for a cab." I said, looking around.

He nodded and started to look with me.

I spotted a black car with checkered print on the side." There's one. Follow me."

We ran towards the parked cab and got in. The cab driver looked in the mirror and smiled out us. He briefly frowned when he saw our empty hands though.

"Where to?" The cab driver said in a thicke Italian accent.

"Volterra." I told him.

"Si, Volterra. Muy Bien."

He pushed down on the gas pedal and sped down the streets of Italy. I looked out at the brillant towers and ancient buildings, all of them having some kind of unique history behind them. He turned down a vaccent alley. This was a secret hide out of the volturi, but how strange would that be if we asked him to stop here. He took a left turn out of the alley which brought us to the gates of Volterra. We had to hurry and get down there before the crowd gets bigger.

"Here we are Senorita y Senor. Volterra." The cab driver said with real admiriation of the bright city.

"Gracias." I thanked him kindly.

Thomas handed him the pasos owed and got ou the cab. He grabbed my hand and lead me towards the Palazoo Dei Prior or 'Clock Tower'.

We looked around us like two guilty felons as we walked into the shadows on the Palazoo Dei Prior. We came across the sewer pipe that led us to the Voltuir's hide out. I moved the steel plate away from the hole and braced my self to jump.

"Hurry down, Thomas." I urged him.

"I'm coming."

I sprang gracefully into the dark whole. Thomas followed shortly after, making a low thud as he dropped to the ground. We smiled at each other and then walked towards the lobby. Ginna saw us appear in the lobby and she smiled at us.

"Thomas, Stephanie what a pleasure to see you here agian. Welcome back." She ethused.

"Hello, Ginna where can we find Aro and Cauis?" I asked.

She stepped from away from her desk and beckoned us towards two thicke wooden doors. She pulled pne of the handles open and allowed us in. When Thomas and I entered the grand room, I was shocked to see that the room was so empty. Cauis was the only one seated on the stage. His red eyes apraised Thomas and I's clothes. He didn't smile or greet us, he just beckoned us forward and shewed Gianna away.

"What brings you here?" Cauis asked.

"Cauis," I sighed, "we have not been able to find the sweet smelling human you told us about. We have been searching everywhere in Forks. No sign of he/ she. Do you have anymore insight on where this human may be."

Out of nowhere, his face lite up with excitment while a devilsh grin strecthed across his powdery face. He rose form his seat and made his way towards us.

"Hmm," He said thoughfully. "maybe you could visit the Cullens."

"Excuse me?" I said, rising and eyebrow.

"The Cullens are a very big coven of "good" vampires. Their leader, Carlisle Cullen, joined us for a couple of centuries until he decided to go on his own. He created four vampires to accompany him in his time of loneliness. Then, two new vampires joined them, Alice and Jasper. Their family is very powerful and brave. Almost all of his coven has a talent. But they do have a weakness..." He trailed off. flashing his devlish grin again.

What was he getting at? Was he seriously telling us to go attack this strong coven? He was making no sense and I was getting frustrated with the riddles he was sending out.

"Isabella Swan." He went on.

"Who?" Thomas exclaimed.

"Isabella Marie Swan, the second oldest vampire's mate. She's not immortal yet, I'm guessing, but she smells moutwatering."

"Where can we find her?" I asked eagerly.

"Forks, Washington." he told us.


Thomas and I were elated to finally have found where our subjects whereabouts were. I could finally release the girl I currently had prisioner. But she was also very mouthwatering too. I guess I'd save her as and appetizer for Augsto. Or maybe turn her into one of us. She could really help us out.

We didn't bother taking another plane, so ran and swam back to Forks. We spent three days swimming and running through the states until we made our way back to Forks.

"Shall we go search for her now, Step?" Thomas asked.

"Not just yet. Let's go kidnap a cell phone so we can call Lee and the others."

Thomas robbed a middle aged women's phone while nicely sparing her life. He called Lee immediatly and started telling her about what Caius had told us. I could hear Lee's excited giggles. When Lee could get in a word, she told Thomas about the house they had found.

"Old victorian house, eh?" Thomas smiled.

He paused waiting for her reply.

" Hot springs. Near La push border. Excellent." Thomas snapped the phone shut. "They found a house, love."

I shrugged. "I heard. Now, I need to go by the warehouse and retrieve that girl. She most be starving."

I couldn't wait to see the look on Augusto's face when he sees me bring back two subjects. I smiled at the thought. My coven will be swimning in riches soon enough.

I spotted the decaying warehouse straight ahead. But something was off. I didn't smell the sweet aroma radiating from the warehouse. I could really on smell wet dog and - I sniffed- dieing daises. Was she dead? I hope not. I burst into a sprint towards the warehouse, anixous to see what had happened.

I stopped when I was directly in front of the warehouse. I pushed the wooden door open. I was flabergasted at what I saw. It was empty! Where had she escaped to? And how could she possible have escaped the chains I had her secured in? Was she even human? So many thoughts overrided my head at once. Thomas was by my side immediatly, rubbing my shoulders soothingly.

"Stephanie, what's wrong?" He asked concerened.

I was so infuriated I began to feel my supernatural powers emerge. My power was very odd though. I could influence others to inflict pain on themselves or someone else. It took alot of frustration to make my power more pronouced though. It would take several minutes just to calm me down. I felt Thomas's hands leave my shoulders and then he suddenly started to punch himself in the face repeatdily. I worked extra hard to save the love of my life from harming himself.

As expected, it took me several minutes- maybe even more- to calm down. I spun around to face him. His porcelain face began to crack after each blow to his face.

"Thomas! oh, dear I'm so sorry." I pryed his clenched fists away from his face and held them in my hands. He kept struggling to reach his face. I took two slow deep breaths to calm myself and soon enough he wasn't struggling anymore.

"I'm so, so sorry, Thomas." I said, kissing the spots where he had cracked his skin. It was already starting to heal.

"I'm fine." He panted. "Im fine. Don't worry."

"I'm such a rotten wife." I said buring my head in his chest.

He laughed a harty laugh. "I understand, Steph. Now, tell me what happened to make you so upset?"

"The girl I kidnapped from the airport...escaped. I tied her up good too, in chains. So how in the world did she...get out?" I was getting flustered again. But this time I worked extra hard not to get too upset.

He leaned down and touched his lips to mine. "Don't sweat it, my love. Another subject awaits us, remember?"

I nodded and sighed. I closed the warehouse door back and backed away from the abanndoned buliding. I was still a little upset though. We could have been ten times as rich, but those plans were quickly demolished.

Thomas smiled and we took off into the trees once again. He took the directions Lee had given him to the house earlier. Once we made it to the house, I was compeletly taken aback by how quick they found such and elegant home. Isolated too.

The house was beautiful in everyway. The vinyl of the house was a dusty rose color. The brick struture had a very 1800s vibe to it. The house had atleast twelve rooms in it which was more that enough for us. It was also a little sideways though and I thought I should be worried about that, but it was an old house after all. It could have gotten like that over the years.

Lee, Ryan, and Gazell floated gracefully to my side.

"Well, what do you think?" Ryan asked.

"I...I." I was speechless.

"Oh, yeah your speechless. Pay up Lee. I told you I could make her speechless." he chortled.

Lee rolled her eyes.

"Thanks guys." I blow a kiss at them.

I never did leave the house that night.


"Stephanie, dear, are you awake?" I heard Thomas ask me the next morning.

I turned over in my bed sluggishly and saw Thomas laying next to me with a golden smile on his face.

"I'm up."

"We got some good news for you, babe."

I set up in bed and looked down at him. "What is it?"

"Lee and Ryan found the Cullens. They live in the forest as well, but they're not close to us. Their coven is big and filled with gifted ones."

"What kind of gifts?"

"There's a mind reader, a psyhic, and an emypath. Their very powerful like I said."

"Did they mange to find the girl?" I asked eagerly.

"No." He scoffed. "why would they? They were scared silly."

I shook my head sadly. At the rate we were going we would never catch that girl. We need to start thinking outside the box. At that exact moment, a thought clicked in my head. A dangerous one, but still a good one. I pulled the covers away from my body and hopped out of bed. I saw Thomas eyes follow me as I dashed out the room.

"Thomas, come here." I shouted from the bottom of the steps.

Thomas dashed down the stairs at the same time the others showed up in the square living room.

"Guys, I know where we can find someone to help us?" I smiled.

"Where?" They all said at once

"In Alaska."

"What's in Alaska?" Ryan asked.

"Alaskian timbre wolves."

He gasped. "No, they are to viotile. We can't train such wild animals in such a short time."

"We can't, but you can."

Thomas's powers were as weird as mines. That's why Augosto had teamed us up. His ability to enrage someone or make them unusally calm was outstanding. It was kind of similar to mine, but he could do both.

"I'm, sorry, but I refuse to waste my time training a bunch of wild animals." He said crossing his arms against his bare chest.

"Thomas," I said, angry now, "We need those dogs or we'll die. So stop being so stubborn and just do this tiny favor for me, for us."

He uncrossed his arms from his chest and wrapped his left arm around my waist pulling me against his hard chest.

"You're so hot when you're demanding." He whispered huskily.

I blushed and giggled. All my anger disappeared at the moment. "Aye. Gracias mi amor."

He laughed and released me.

I heard Ryan making gagging noises in the back of his thoart. I turned to glare at him.

Thomas flashed towards the couch and sat down. "We'd better get going to Alaska soon."

"Nope. I'm not going you are. Lee and I will stay here and patrol some more. We'll stay away from the Cullens, but we'll sreach in that area. You, Ryan, and Gazell will go to Alaska and retrieve the wolves. Clear?"

They nodded.

"Good. Now get going. Thomas you still have the womans credit card, correct?" I asked.

"Yup, safely in my pocket." He smiled brightly over at me.

"Great, now get going my lovelies. Lee lets go hunt. your eyes are getting dark."


Thomas and the others planned on running to Alaska since it wasn't far away. They had to carefully plan out how they would bring the mutts back without getting noticed. I calculated a different route back to Forks from Alaska and explained it to them slowly.

"So how long should this expidetion take?" Gazell asked, picking at her nails.

"About three or four days or so. Depending on how fast you all run." I winked.

Thomas nodded. "So before we leave, what's the story with these timbre wolves?"

They all leaned in intently.

I cleared my thoart before I began. "Now, we've all heard of the La push ledgends, correct?"

They nodded.

"Well, before the spirit wolves there were possesed, evil wolves that were taken over by a demon, like us. Her name was Nickolette. She was a very powerful vampire. She was with the volutri for a couple of decades, but their way of life displeased her very much. The volturi didn't want to let her go because she was rare and she made their army stronger. She was bold very, very bold. She had the power to change weak useless animals into powerful rulers. She had heard of the spirit wolves and how they protected their people, so she decided to do the oppsite. The wolves were mainly created to help and protect her. They did that for awhile and then they went on their on. Nickolette was killed by the alpha for some odd reason. "

"What do they look like?" Lee asked.

"They're very similar to vampires, seeing as they were changed by one. They have red glowing eyes, white fur, and very tough skin. Its almost impossible to kill one. They are very isolated creatures as well. They only come out to hunt and run free in the night. They can wipe a whole civilition out in a heart beat. That's why we need them to help us attack the Cullens."

"Wow, so why haven't the Volturi heard about this? They should stop them shouldn't they?" Lee asked.

"The Volturi know nothing about them. Like I said they are very isolated."

"Then how'd you find out about them?" Gazell pressed.

"My dad owned one." I smiled wickedly.

Their red eyes went wide with atonishment.

"My father, Felix, kept one of them hostage for security purposes for my mother. THey warded the "Bad vampires" away." I explained.

"Question. Are they venoumous?" Ryan asked.

I nodded. "Yes, but if a human were to get bit they would not turn into demon dogs, Ryan."

His perfect face fell. "Awe, that's no fun."

We all broke out in fits of giggles. Oh, Ryan always the jokester.

"Well, we better get going." Gazell said.

"We should indeed. Step, where can we locate them?" Thomas asked me as he rose from the couch.

"Underground."

"Yuck," Gazell muttered.

"Oh, Gazell, don't be such a baby." Ryan rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah, I'll show you what this baby can do."

Gazell took off running towards Ryan. Thomas pecked me on my lips and then dashed out the house, leaving me and Lee alone.

"So what's on the agenda today, boss?"

"Well, nothing actually. Unless you want to search for the human girl?"

She grimaced for a second. "Might as well."

"Wonderful."

She pulled her long, curly red hair in a ponytail and followed me out the door.

The next couple of hours were hell. We couldn't find anything at all. We dropped by the Cullens house again, but we got nothing. It would really help if I had her scent. This was getting very frustrating. But I had to remain calm. I didn't want to hurt Lee when she was so close to me. We gave up the search and headed back home. I crashed on the couch, exhuasted from all the running. Lee just plopped on the floor in front of me and sighed.

"Today felt so long."

"Extremely long." I agreed. "Well, until. Thomas and the others get back, we have to look everyday. Every inch of forks."

She groaned. "Great."

I smoothed her wild hair out. "Don't worry, Lee, we'll find her soon."


It had already been a whole week and still no sign of Thomas, Ryan, or Gazell. Those demons wolves really must've put up a fight with them. Well, I hope they were having fun atleast. Lee and I spent our days sreaching for the girl or watching old movies. This was by far the most unexciting weekend ever.

I absoulutly hated falling into the same routine every single day; it was nerve racking. That's until I got a very urgent call from Thomas. He sounded excited for some reason. I wonder why?

"Thomas, hun, where are you?" I asked.

"Running back to forks witht he mutts. God, they're a handful I tell you. Ryan got chased half way across the borded by one and Gazell got bit. I'm just about ready to kill one of them." He laughed.

I laughed too. "How many?"

"Three. The alpha and his wing men I'm guessing."

"Wonderful, mi amor. Thank you very, very much."

"My pleasure. So any luck with finding the whereabouts of the girl?" He asked, hopeful.

I sighed." Nope."

"Don't worry, we'll find her soon. Promise."

"How far away are you?" I asked before I hung up.

"Im in Ontario, Canda now. We should be home before sun down." He told me.

"Great. See you soon. Adios love." I shut the sliver phone.

I was so glad I could rely on him for anything. It brought a great feeling to me. Lee flashed to my side when she saw the smile play around my lips.

"What happened?" She asked.

"They got the wolves. Three of them. Very strong powerful ones too. They'll be back around dawn." I said, happily.

She lifted her hand to give me a high five. I slapped my hand against hers. "Wonderful."

The rest of the day went by quickly; It was already nearing dawn. Lee and I stayed on the couch watching movies until she excussed herself to her room. Even though she didn't sleep, she still liked her privacy. But I could sleep, so I spread my body out on the couch and let sleep claim me.

I was woken by loud barking and screams outside. I sprung up from the couch, looking around for the annoying noise. I groaned when I couldn't find the source of the noise and laid back down on the couch wishing sleep would claim me again. But the noise didn't STOP! I growled and sprung from the couch. Suddenly, I heard my name being called from outside.

"Stephanie!"

I rushed out the door and onto the porch. I saw Thomas and Ryan struggling to keep the three, strong wolves under control. Gazell was on the side of the house cowering in fear of the dogs.

With all my might, I yelled a loud, "STOP!"

The dogs stopped their growls and snarls to face me. The biggest wolf snapped at me. I growled back, baring my teeth. Well, we know who's the leader. I flased to Thoma's side and took the two dogs from his hold. I had the two smallest ones so they had nothing really on me. I dragged them pass the terrifed Gazell and into the backyard. There was a thicke iron fence in the backyard, perfect for the dogs. I hooked them on the fence and went to get the other dog, the stronger, bolder one. Ryan was still struggling when I came back. I took the leash and dragged him into the backyard too. Ryan and Thomas dashed to my side once they were all tied up.

"What must I teach them?" Thomas asked, scrathing his golden blonde locks.

"Skills, patients, and self control."

"Can do."

"Will they need anything?" Ryan asked.

I nodded. "Blood and lots of it. Go fetch some humans for them. They must fed before they are trained."

Ryan nodded and fleeted in the woods.

"Start training them, Thomas. 'Cause we're going to make sure these Cullen's give up that girl without giving us a hard time." I growled.

He smiled wickidely. "Indeed.

One of the dogs growled at me before I turned to leave. I smiled. The Cullens' better say Adios to their little human. Because she will soon be mine.
