Chapter nine- Turning Back
Jacob's POV:
We didn't get far on the sceond day of traveling to the Volturi. But we were very close. When we settled our camp in the woods Leah pointed out to me that she could see the Volturi tower.
"We'll be there by afternoon tomorrow," she said to me with hers eyes locked on the tip of the tower and her eyes gleaming brightly for revenge. But I was excited also but mostly really worried for Leah's safety. I sighed and shook my head and turned around to finish setting up the camp.
"Alright Jacob what's wrong," Leah suddenly demanded at me turning away from looking at the Volturi tower but to looke at me. Then I stood up to face her.
"What do you mean what wrong? I'm fine," I told Leah with my head held high but Leah just snorted at me.
"Oh come on Jacob don't act like I'm stupid," she growled at me. "I've noticed ever since we started this trip you have been real down and mopey. Doesn't seth'sd revenge mean anything to you," She suddenly asked me with a tremble in her voice and the mention of Seth.
"of course I want revenge on Seth," I said quite a taken back. " but I'm afraid your going to get hurt and then I'm going to be depressed that I've lost you forever," I told her with my head down but then she suddenly cam up and wrapped her arms around my neck and began to whisper fiercly in my ear.
"Jacob black," she started whispering. "Even if we lose tommorrow, Or even if we drift apart from one another, I swear to god, You will never ever lose me. Do you hear me? Never."
"That's nice to know," I whispered back to her and pulled her arms away from my neck and began to kiss her on the lips tenderly. THen after that we crwled into the tent and we both didn't come out until early moring the next day.
Leah's POV:-Early the next morning
I awoke the next mornig with Jacob wide awake and right beside me looking at me tenderly with his soft caring eyes. i yawned and stretched widely before grinning at him.
"well, todays the big day," I said happily and then his smile faltered making his eyes churn in fear for my safety.
"Don't worry ," I said to him softly. "I'll be fine. I promise" After that we headed towards the Volturi tower.
When we got to the Volturi tower and once we stepped in front of the doors I had to admit I was a bit nervous. But when Jacob knocked on the big wooden door only one time, someone in a dark black cloak opened the door for us and instantly I flinched back from the disguisted smell that reeked all around us.
"Follow me. Aro has been expecting you," Said the high, cold pitched bored voice I had once heard and I knew it was the bloodsucker they called Jane. As we followed her through the big mansion I heard whispered voices all around us as we entered and I suddenly took Jacobs hand in fear and he squeezed my hand also. THen when we got to anpther set of huge door Jane opened them and when I got a good look of what was in there I saw Aro, Marcus and Casius. I shivered as we entered the room and I suddenly heard Jacob snarl quietly to Aro in greeting but Aro just dissmissed the snarl with a flick of his hand.
"Why did you attack us. what do you want," I sid loudly and clearly making my voice ehcoe throughout the room but Aro just smiled at me.
"Perhaps lets start at the beggining shall we," Aro said in his whispy voice and then he began to explain of why he brought us here.
"When we attakced you in your territory we just expected to get you my dear (pointing to me as he spoke) so we could use you to breed. We never expected to have a full blown attack from your brothers. So we decided to have you come to us instead. But with your loved one here beside you," he said pointing to Jacob. "I have reached to my limit that the only way to get you is to destroy your Family, or should I say pack," He said to me and Jacob and leaned back into his chair with a smile.
"But what do you want me for," I growled at him suddenly impatient.
"For a breeding program. So we can have wolf gaurds to protect us when we are being attacked by another coven," He said simply and then I remembered the Cullen's telling us about this and with a dreaded thought I felt like I had a rock dropped in my stomach.
"well you will never get her ," Jacob suddenly growled and then just stared constantly at Aro while Aro sighed at him.
"I thought you would be that way," Aro sighed." That's why we came to give you a fair warning."
"A fair warning of what?" I growled at him.
"A fair warning to tell you that we would be attacking you. All of you," Aro answered simply with a gleam in his eye. But I was to confused already.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I said interrupting trying to break his conversation before he explained any more to us. "Do you mean to tell me, that you are attacking my whole family, and to kill them, just to have me for some breeding program?"
"That's about right," Aro said. "You are the only female werwolf we have seen in over 300 years. we may never see another creation like you."
"Yeah you won't ," I snarled at him my temper rising extremely. "Because I will fight to the death before one of you leeches take me to be your freaking slave." I heard Aro sigh.
"well," Aro said. "We gave you are warning so you may go now." and after he said that a hard grip came on my hands and tugged me and Jacob both out. Once they threw us out, we went back to camp and for a few seconds all was quiet. Then I looked at Jacob and he looked at me with the same agony that was in my eyes also.
"What do we do now Jacob," I whispered as we began to pack up and go home to tell our families of what was going to happen.
"I don't know Leah," jacob said as he stopped packing and embraced me in his arms. "I just don't know."
