I'm so sorry I haven't updated in ages. School got so crazy but I think it's mellowing out now... hopefully. I did get more reviews so keep them coming. And here's chapter 9
Chapter 9I was completely lost. All Edward had told me was 'werewolves' then Alice calls saying they were coming and we needed to leave. I felt like we'd been running forever by the time he stopped. We were now in a dense cluster of trees. I could tell Edward was listening closely for any movements or thoughts.
"What's going on?' I asked him through my thoughts.
'The werewolves are coming. Don't worry I'll explain laer for now just please be quiet.'
I did as he said and kept quiet. The surrounding area was silent except for the sounds of nature. However the silence didn't last very long. There was a sound of running off in the distance, not the sound of a vampire running but the sound of something I had never heard. I knew immediately that it was the werewolves because I could once again smell their disgusting pungent smell. Edward grabbed my hand and we were once again running.
'When will we stop running? We're always running!' I thought to Edward as we zoomed through the forest.
'We can stop running when it's safe. Which will be when we meet up with the others.'
"Safe", a word that just didn't seem to mix well with me. We're like oil and water, polar opposites. Now trouble and danger, on the other hand, seem to LOVE me. Where ever I was there was trouble. When would I finally get a break?
We finally met up with the others as the sun was setting. After moving farther north we set camp. Emmett built a fire for light and we all sat around it. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask, but how to sum them up?
"What's going on?" I asked. Yeah, that about covers the basics.
"The werewolves are coming!" Emmett answered in a 'duh' sort of tone.
"No really I had NO idea!" I replied sarcastically. "I'm just really confused."
"Alright, you see, in La Push there are werewolves and the werewolves are our natural enemy. So, when we first came to Forks we made a treaty. Each of us had our own land that the others could not enter. However, the treaty would be broken if we were to bite or kill a human. They know that someone has been changed and believe we did it. So now we must discuss what happened with the wolves and hopefully there will be no war," Carlisle explained.
"Oh. So then did Alice have a vision of them coming? Is that how she knew?" I asked.
"Well sort of. You see the werewolves are the only creatures I can't see. So when you and Edward suddenly disappeared I knew they had to be coming so I called right away," Alice explained.
"So we'll talk to the werewolves when they come then?" I asked.
They all nodded in response. 'and now we wait,' I thought to Edward.
'And now we wait,'
'Oh fun, I hate waiting. It makes me think of the waiting place!'
'The waiting place?'
'You know from Dr. Suess, Oh the Places You'll Go!'
Understanding slowly crept across Edward's face. Then he madean 'o' shape with his mouth while nodding. I shook my head an rolled my eyes. Then we waited and waited.
"I can't take this much longer! I'm so bored." Alice told us all.
"Me too!" I chipped.
"Well find a way to entertain yourselves!" Carlisle exclaimed.
Hmmm… what would be something fun to pass the time with.
"Hey Alice, I spy something red!" I exclaimed.
"Ummm… is it that lady bug by that tree?"
"Yep, your turn!"
"I spy something…… SPARKLY!"
"Uhhh… Rosalie's earings?"
"Yep, you again."
I began looking around for something and that was when I spotted them. Five giant furry things, that had to be the werewolves.
"I spy five big furry creatures!" I said pointing in their direction.
"Here goes nothing," Edward muttered under his breath.
The wolves slowed down as they neared us and cautiously approached us. Clearly they didn't trust us enough to be in their human form so Edward would be translating for them. All the wolves turned towards me, which would be understandable seeing as I was the new vampire. Wow, they're far more intimidating when they stare at you. Edward was looking at a russet colored wolf with his eyebrows creased together.
"Bella, I think the russet colored one knows you," he explained.
"Who is it?" we all asked.
"Jacob Black."
Now that name sounded REALLY familiar. Where had I hear it before, wait didn't Charlie have a friend with the last name Black. Oh yeah, Billy Black. Jacob must be his son.
"I remember him now! He's Billy's son!" I stated.
"Alright, well now that that's out of the way let's get a move on," Carlisle said getting us back on to the issue at hand.
"Did one of you change the girl?" Edward asked clearly speaking for one of the wolves.
"No, none of us did. It was a vampire by the name of James. He kidnapped her and bit her. We didn't find her in time. But he's been taken care of already by Emmett and Jasper," Carlisle explained.
Emmett got a huge grin on his face when James being "taken care of" had been mentioned. Edward shook his head and rolled his eyes at Emmett. I wonder what Emmett was thinking about…on second thought I don't think I want to know.
"The wolves have decided that this doesn't break the treaty they don't want war. Their only condition is that we explain the whole treaty to Bella," Edward told us.
"We don't want war either, and we will explain the Treaty in full detail to Bella. So I guess all is done and we can go our separate ways." Carlisle said.
The biggest wolf nodded and turned to leave. All of them followed but one, the russet colored one, Jacob. This could not be good. His teeth were clenched and he looked ready to kill.
I hope you all liked it. So now it's time to review. You know you want to. So go on review... please. Hopefully the next chapter won't take me as long but I make no promises. I will try though and who knows maybe if I get lots and lots of rewards I'll be so happy I'll write the next chapter faster!
