What Just Happened?
Jacob POV
"Wait, what? You threw Sam against the trees? How? Why?" I asked.
"Why?!" Elyse asked incredulously. "He was going to take my children away from me! I will never let that happen," she said as a dark look passed over her face. "I was hoping that I wouldn't have to explain this so soon. Not that I wouldn't have told you," she said hurriedly. She paused before continuing. "I have a force field like ability."
Everyone in the yard looked stunned, except for her husband and her kids.
"Wait a minute. What do you mean?" Esme asked.
"I can create a physical barrier to protect me and also push it away from myself. I can control it with my mind or my hands and have recently learned to be able to switch back and forth between the two rather quickly."
"Awesome!" Emmett exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. Anything physical was entertaining to him. Hmm, if she had a physical barrier, I wonder if that would make her stronger than Emmett. That would be a fun thing to see.
"Alright, now that we've taken care of that, there are a couple more things to discuss. Sam, I don't know why you acted so hastily today. Care to explain? I've seen you upset and demanding, but I have never seen you try to take someone away from their family." I looked at Sam, hoping he would find a way to dig himself out of the whole he had dug. He just hung his head.
Jasper POV
The guilt came off of Sam in waves. In all my years as a vampire I had never felt such guilt from one person. What had been him feeling justified was now guilt. I was honestly surprised he didn't buckle under the weight of emotion.
"I am so sorry. I didn't think this through very well. Can you please forgive me?" Sam kept looking at feet though he looked up at the last part. At his last remark all eyes turned to Elyse. She sighed.
"I will forgive you on one condition. You tell me why you tried to force my children to join you and you swear never to do it against their will again."
"Mom, that's two conditions." Alee told her, with a slight smile on her face. Elyse just growled.
"Alright. This morning Paul came to me and said that he had heard some new wolves. When he had gone to investigate he saw three wolves and two vampires headed toward the Cullen's. I told him that they were probably heading to Jacob's pack but that later on today I would go introduce myself so that I could get a feel for their intentions. Paul was satisfied, for once, and he left. A few minutes later Jared came running up and gave me this note." He handed a note to Carlisle. As he read it to himself a look of astonishment mixed with worry crossed his face.
"Please read it aloud, Carlisle." Bella asked. "We don't all have Edward's mind reading ability."
Carlisle looked at Sam and at his slight nod; he read the note to the rest of us.
Alpha, If you EVER side with the
Traitorous Cullen's again your entire village
Will be slaughtered while you watch.
Everyone was silent. I don't think anyone knew what to think. I sure didn't.
"Does this mean that the Volturi are coming back?" Rosalie asked the question that no one else was brave enough to.
"Wait, what do you mean, 'coming back'?" Alex asked.
The whole yard went silent.
