*General POV*
The silver Volvo came to a stop at the road, that was just around the corner to the open area. Edward, Alice, and Jasper were out of the car quickly. With them telling Bella and Josh to stay inside the car, they walked out to the open space of the treaty line. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmet were already waiting for the three to come over. As they walked to the line the pack were already in human form waiting for them at the spot, Jacob just came out of the forest to join the pack and to see the oncoming Cullens.
It was rare to see these two groups at the border line for meetings that were pretty much never called unless at of great importance such as of this situation. Both are aware of what happened but to know the complete truth behind it all not a single one of them knew. All they were able to do was to come up with their own theories of what happened. And what will be the outcome results if their own theories turned out to be true.
Once upon the line the Cullens stopped at a good distance from the border and away from the smell of the pack, they of course made sure they stayed their own distance as well, though they still were able to smell each other just not as strong. Both sides stared off at each other, no one made a sound or moved about, just staying in place, waiting for their leaders to start the meeting.
Carlisle took one step forward and cleared his throat, unnecessarily, Paul, being the quick to act and short-tempered one, was looking like he was wanting to phase and attack them. Rosalie barred her teeth a bit to show that she wasn't afraid that had Emmet ready to jump ahead of her for any attacks. Leah and Jared saw this and were ready to run at them to phase and fight back. Sam gave them a "do-nothing-till-I-say-so" look and they back off but still kept their guard up as did the Cullens when seeing them back down. "I am glad that we were able to find the time to have this meet to clear up the situation as of yesterday's…incident.," Carlisle began.
Sam stepped up closer, withstanding the strong smell from the vampires, to answer, "After what happened it could not wait any longer when the treaty is possibly broken from your part," he stated. "I can assure you that none of us were on your border as is part of our treaty. We do not cross onto your territory and you let us stay in Forks," Carlisle replied back.
"From the look of things it appears that you guys are the one to have crossed over onto our side," Emmet said aloud. A small growl from Paul erupted, not one of hunger but of the inner wolf wanting to attack its prey. "Keep silent mutt, you can eat food later in your dog bowl after we are done talking," Rosalie hissed at him. Paul was starting to shake up, "Rosalie, that will be enough," Carlisle told her. "Paul! Stand back and calm down," Sam ordered him. He stopped shaking but kept his death glare at the clan but mostly to Rosalie. She simply glared back at Paul.
"Please excuse her", Carlisle told the pack, Sam nodded slowly to let it pass. "Now as for what happened yesterday it appears that there has been a breach of both of our sides, obviously from our kind." Sam spoke up, "They crossed over onto our side and seemed to be looking for something," Edward and Alice gave a quick glance to each other then back to the pack, "and it was then that we found them deep in the woods and we tried to catch them but they managed to escape. Are they friends of yours or anyone you know of?" Carlisle shook his head, "We would have known if they were coming. We know nothing of these strangers." Sam, slowly nodded his head.
"Now what continues to have me confused is the way we found them. My family and I were out in the woods hunting and on the way it was near the mountain side where the cave is we found the remains of them. One was in a cave and another outside the cave far from the other. They were both burnt to ashes and found only this," Carlisle brought out the hand of the vampire. "As you can on the wrist here," he said as he turned the hand around, "there is a huge puncture through it that of large teeth. We cannot have done this to them…" Leah interrupted, "…So you are leading up to that it was us that crossed your border cause our teeth are the only ones large enough to leave a mark like that?" Carlisle turned to her, "I was not putting the blame on your pack. Because there was something else about the hand." Leah scoffed at him.
"As you know, we both have a scent that neither of us can stand but we found no trace of your scent on the hand." The Pack looked at each other, clearly thinking hard about this. "So let's get this straight. The leeches crossed over to our side and we chased them till they crossed over onto your territory, stayed on your side for a bit, and were killed by something. But they weren't killed by your clan from the markings and it wasn't us cause there is no scent on the hand and I know that none of us had come around the area of the cave," Sam concluded. Jared looked to Sam, "If it wasn't them or us then what was it? Nothing can kill a bloodsucker except their own kind and us wolves, it doesn't make any sense."
Carlisle then said, "I am doing my best to try and find out what happened for sure and what it was that did this before the situation gets worse." All eyes turned to him. "Whatever it was that killed them off has the power to destroy my family and most likely can kill your pack. Both our kind's are in danger to whatever is out there." The pack were looking to one another as was the Cullens, concerned on their faces. Sam was too beginning to think deeply about what was going on.
Bringing them out of their thoughts, "I would like to ask that if you find out anything or have something that can help us figure out what it was and we can tell you anything that we have found so we can have full support," Carlisle proposed. The pack looked uncomfortable about this, working with the vampires, as the Cullens had the same thoughts about working with the wolves. Seeing how serious the situation was Sam took a step forward, "Fine. We will work together on finding out what is going on…just this once." Carlisle nodded. "Then with that we are fini…" Carlisle turned his head to Edward.
It was silent for a while, and figured that Edward was communicating with Carlisle through his thoughts. Carlisle looked to Edward with a look of surprise and then glanced over to his Volvo sitting on the road. He looked forward at the ground, again in thoughts, then he looked up to the pack. "Edward has some…interesting information already." Eyebrows were raised as the pack were surprised on how fast they already found something. "Care to tell us or leave us in the dark?" Leah asked impatiently.
He continued on, "It appears that there is a new guy in town. His name is Josh Dracen, have you heard about him?" The pack were shaking their heads. "He said he just moved in, and from what Edward described the way he is was… inhuman." Jared spoke out, "Inhuman? As in what? What did he do or say that would make him seem like that?" Edward finally spoke, "He was able to keep me out of his thoughts, just as Bella is able to."
"So? He is just like Bella who is human," Jacob brought up. "And he was able to block out Alice and Jasper's powers as well, keeping us from finding out his emotions or future." The pack was quiet and were just as confused as before now. "Josh also showed of strength and quickness that is not possible for humans to have." A quick thought came to mind and Quil asked, "Wait, how were you able to find that out about him?" The pack were nodding in agreement to this question. Edward remained silent.
Alice then said, "The guy upset Edward so he tried to hit him which the guy was able to stop him." Jared asked, "How did he manage to do that to him?" Edward still remained silent, and Alice continued on. "Josh was just trying to be friends with Bella and hang out with him…" she turned to Edward, "..oh calm down Edward, he wasn't doing any harm to her." She turned back to the pack, "It was the way he was talking to Edward that made him angry, and when he called him…um… Stone Face." There was a break out of small laughter, from most of the pack, even Sam couldn't help but break a smile and a chuckle. Even from Emmet he was laughing out and Edward shot him a glare. Emmet waved off his hand, "I-I'm sorry its just that…well its that… ah! You got to admit that is a good one there, cause you know you always keep the same serious look on your face and your made like stone hence 'Stone face'," he tried speaking out and controlling his laughter. "I gotta remember that one!" exclaimed Quil.
Edward shook his head, "Can we just focus here on what is going on here?" Rosalie couldn't help but say it with a snicker, "Whatever you say…Stone Face." Another round of laughing was heard again from the pack and from Emmet who covered his mouth from laughing again. Putting his hand to his forehead Edward asked more than stated, "Focus here? Josh is here with Bella and are waiting in the car." All laughing around quickly died as their gazed went from Edward to the parked Volvo. Jacob was looking from the car to Edward and back.
"You-your joking right?" asked Embry. Edward shook his head. "You are serious about it aren't you?" Jared asked. Jacob took steps forward starting to raise his voice, "And you just let Bella stay with him alone in your car?" Quil and Embry ran to Jacob and were holding him back from going any further. "Jacob calm down man!" They tried to restrain him and pull him back with the rest of the pack. "Why did you bring him along you stupid bloodsucker? Are you trying to give out of what we are to the world?" Leah was now starting to yell. "He already knew…" Edward quietly said. Jacob stopped where he was and the others froze in place, Edward's family staring at him. No one spoke a word for what seemed like forever.
Seth was the first to break the silence, "So um…what's going to happen now?" Sam let out a sigh, "Until we know for sure if he does indeed know about us then we shouldn't do anything or say anything revealing till we know the truth about this guy." Carlisle nodded to this. "If we are going to talk to him then I suggest we do this in a more civilized way instead of like this," Esme pointed out. "She's right. We would have to talk to him normally about this," Alice agreed. The others nodded to this. Sam spoke out, "So how should we do this exactly then?" A smile crept to her face, "It seems that we already have it worked out. He is wanting to hang out with Bella so we can tag along and we can try and find out if that will work out today. If not then we can try having you guys give it a shot with him tomorrow." The pack looked to Sam as the rest of the Cullens looked to Carlisle. Both had nodded and agreed to it. "In the mean time we will do what we can to find out more about the dead vampires," Carlisle said. "This concludes our meeting then," Sam said. The pack and the Cullens left the treaty line and back to where they came from, hoping all will turn out okay with the plans they have set.
Short chapter I know xD but the next one should be great :D Still working on if it will be one whole chapter of the Cullens and the pack or separate chapters for them, not too sure how I will do it but guaranteed it will be done! Please leave me reviews on the chapter of how I did it. Am I moving things along just right? Is it moving too fast? Any mistakes? Any suggestions? I am open to anything :D please let me know! Thank you again for reading!
