loud voices filtered through the trees and as ash sat up to see where they were coming from the moment was broken, swallowing my disappointed sigh, i glanced around searching for the source of the noises and found myself looking at three very surprised vampires, two males and a female with blazing red hair. watching them watch us i could practically see them contemplating who got who to snack on, still riding the high from ash and mine almost kiss i spoke up "no thanks"

very confused the red-haired vampire said "what do you mean 'no thanks'?"

rolling my eyes like it was obvious i said "you were about to ask me to join you for dinner or a snack right well, 'no thanks' i don't feel like it today"

gaping the vampires exchanged shocked looks "uh are you gifted in some way perhaps?"

snorting at the dreadlocked vampires question i said "no i just have experience with vampires there is a coven up the road from where i live and frankly you guys aren't even trying to hide your diet so yeah, it was obvious what you were thinking, and no he is not on the menu either"

growling the red haired vampire stepped forward and said "who do you think you are to tell me who i can an can't eat?"

rolling to my feet i stood on the balls of my feet ready to with a feral snarl on my face releasing the growl edged in my throat the three leeches stepped back in shock at the decidedly animalistic sound coming from what they had thought was a human i could see the vamps scenting the air trying to get a read on what i was and clearly coming up as confused as the cullers had. "what are yo..." she never finished as echoing howls filled the woods.

grinning i said "oh goody the cavalry has arrived"

the vampires looked unsure and not wanting to risk it they turned and fled northwards, they would likely run into the cullens if they carried on in that direction. turning back to ash i held out a hand to help him up, smirking he grabbed my hand and yanked me down. yelping i was about to struggle to me feet when i felt lips on my neck, freezing i went completely still wondering what he would do next. "seeing you angry and feral is incredibly sexy, did you know that?"

not sure i heard him right i pulled back and studied his face spotting his darkened eyes i gasped slightly which quickly turned into a moan as his lip finally crashed against mine. it was hard and brutal and i needed it so bad, snarling i shoved him onto his back scrambling into his lap i pressed myself against him, swallowing his moan with a kiss. the crashing of bodies through the underbrush sent me into protective mode and my head whipped up snarl in place when i saw sam in wolf form looking very startled, blinking i looked down to see a wide eyed ash. rolling of him i rose to my feet again offering my hand, taking the offering i yanked him to his feet turning to sam i said "sam this is ash, ash this is sam, the shifter alpha"

nodding ash said "pleasure to meet you"

sam just dipped his head being in wolf form and all, smiling i pointed in the direction the vampires went in and said "there was three of them" grinning the wolves took off. leaving me and ash alone again, turning to face him i said "sooooooo" the drawn out word hung between us for a moment before we both lunged for the other again lips crashing together with renewed urgency.

"so what do we do?"

"what do you mean 'what do we do?' what can we do we have a treaty with the shifters we can attack one of theirs, it would be war"

"we can't just leave her! she is a threat"

Carlisle and rose had been going at it for the last hour with rose insisting that we 'dealt with the threat' and Carlisle trying to explain that we can endanger the coven by going to war with the shifters especially if Bella's warning about the werewolves was accurate. stepping in i said "would you just give it up, neither of you are going to convince the other and we have more important things to worry about"

"oh yeah, what? we know what she is now and she is a threat all we have left to do is eliminate her or drive her off and then we are all good i don't see what else there is to do"

growling i said "these werewolves need to be dealt with we can't let these animals come here and damage the human population we could get blamed or discovered and we could end up in serious trouble with the volturie, so we need to take this warning seriously and decide on a course of action."

"why don't we go and speak to your old friends the volturie Carlisle? Aro still welcomes you yes and if we talk to them about this we can not be in too much trouble because we have consulted with them first."

blinking everyone myself included turned to look at jasper he didn't normally speak too much particularly in family meetings and that was both an incredible idea and the most he had ever spoken at a meeting. nodding we talked a bit more deciding on when to go and such before we all split up to pack and book flights and for rose and Emmet other things that had me desperately wishing i couldn't read minds.

mentally scrubbing my brain with soap, i tried to focus on the interactions i had witnessed between Bella and ash before they noticed me. they had seemed so carefree and relaxed with each other like either siblings or ...mates, that thought brought my brain to an abrupt halt, no surly not but it was there, it all fit especially ash's jealousy when he had called Bella his. grimacing i rubbed my head, while being immortal meant i couldn't get a headache my ability meant i was probably one of the few vampires to get even close being able to claim that achievement and it wasn't pleasant.

drifting to my room to spend the remaining time before we would fly out to voltera listening to some music, flowing down onto the couch i pressed play on my remote that controlled my stereo listening as Debussy started to play instantly reminding me of one of my first conversations with Bella.

shifting in the shadows i examined the pair laying in the grass filled clearing before me, the couple were tangled in an intimate embrace suggesting they were more than friends, the lack of cloths were another dead give away that something more than sleeping had occurred. taking note of everything i could about the pair including their scents i turned and loped back to my camp, dousing the small camp fire i dismantled the camp, scattering ashes so the place looked untouched.

disembarking i started on the three day run back to the main camp, pausing to hunt before i left i made sure i had a big meal as i didn't intend to stop before i reached the base.

stretching i froze when i felt an arm on my waist pinning me down, suddenly images flash through my mind of what happened last night and a deep blush stained my cheeks. i can't believe we slept together and i bit him, shaking my head slightly i briefly pondered what the hell that had been about it had just felt so right like i had to do it, so i did. hearing a groan i looked over at ash who said "uh stop talking I'm trying to sleep here"

blinking i said "i didn't say anything i was thinking in my head"

"what no i heard you"

turning was now facing me looking at me curiously concentrating i thought 'can you here me now?' gaping his jaw hung loose as he nodded slowly, grinning i continued 'why don't you try? just concentrate on me and will what your thinking to me'

i watched his brow crease and then '...hear me now? god this is hard how did she do this, ugh. helllloooooo bella boo boo can you hear me yet hellloooo'

snorting i collapsed into a fit of giggles 'bella boo boo, were did that come from?'

flushing he muttered "uh nowhere" 'how do you think we can do this?'

frowning i glanced at the bite on his neck and said "i this this might be my fault"

"what how?"

'well when i bit you last night i drew blood and i think i might have created some kind of connection, maybe, I'm not sure i don't know a lot about my race as you know so its possible i initiated some kind of ritual of my people without realising. me bitting you was kinda instinctive like it had to happen it was weird but yeah i was slightly distracted at the time so you can't blame me right?' i knew i was babbling but i couldn't seem to shut my mental mouth up and the words just kept pouring out.

smirking he replied 'its fine i don't blame you, i am pretty distracting even if i do say so my self' grinning he flexed his arms and pouted slightly

laughing i shoved him hard sending him sprawling onto his back, climbing on top of him i leaned down close to his ear. breathing softly on the skin on his neck where i knew he was very sensitive i licked and nibbled my way up to his jaw slowly before pulling back and blowing on the now wet skin smirking at his barley audible moan i said "oh yes very distracting" before jumping to my feet to get dressed.

laughing at his dumbfounded expression i almost missed the mental thought 'i really love her' knowing i wasn't meant to hear that i didn't say anything just yanked my t-shirt on.

chucking ash's shirt at him i smirked and said "come on lover boy time to get dressed" blinking out of his daze he finally dragged himself up and started pulling on cloths.

leaving the woods we conversed mentally about what happened last night before things got so very distracting, including the visit from the three vampires, neither were sure what the three were doing here but we both knew it couldn't be good. when we reached the tree line i noted it was still very early relived i wouldn't be late for school we walked to my house and went about our normal routines as though we had spent the night in the house not the woods.

now dressed in clean cloths i descended into the kitchen fixing myself a bowl of lucky charms, i flopped down into a chair at the kitchen table. eyeing the clock i saw i still had an hour before school started pleased this would allow me to do some of the homework i had been set in class.

when ash had finally finished primping i was finished with my maths homework and we needed to leave soon, makings own bowl of cereal ash joined me at the table munching as he went. five minutes later and two empty bowls in the sink we were sat in my truck cruising up to the school, we only just flopped down into our english seats before the tardy bell rang. the teacher gave us a dirty look but couldn't do anything as we weren't technically late.

the lessons passed slowly but there was a recurring theme, a distinct lack of cullens.
