Dusk Chapter 9, a twilight fanfic

Chapter 9: The 'trackers'.

It's been about a year since I left Forks, and in that time I have been chasing that evil and mad vampire male, things at Forks seemed to have gone back to apparent normality.

Edward and Bella are now living at Forks with Carlisle and Esme as they have ended their university studies (at least Bella); meanwhile, the rest of both Cullen and Quileutes have kept an open eye in case anything wrong began again, because I also counted on the hypothetical possibility that my prey managed to sneak from me by making me lose his track again.

In that year, I just spoke with Alice and Carlisle from time to time, with pretty long time between a call and another. With Vulturis was also like that, I didn't contact with them as often as with Cullen; and I was a bit worried also about Bella, Edward's wife.

I had read what she wrote for me, I'm about beginning the part where the Cullen and the Quileutes fought against the army of newborns a certain Victoria created.

I was beginning to understand the reasons why it had taken so long for her to be turned and still was not.

Anyway, now she would be about ending her studies and she was already married to Edward… what were they waiting for giving that step?

On the other hand, Alice always told me about the visions she had about me or things that could concern to me. She was great help to track my prey, because she usually helped me finding a new track; and really I was now about getting him, my harassment to him was stronger every day passing. He would not take too long to stop running from me, because each time he tried I ended finding him and beginning again.

I expected my harassment would be useful and end up making him as tired of running as I was of chasing him.

Anyway, at Forks and La Push, things were not as good as I thought. Lately some animal attacks were beginning to happen and they had not a tip for finding out who was after it, was it another animal or was it something else?

"We can't keep on like that." Sam said. "Last night it was on our territories."

"And I've found some foot prints at the beach sand." Leah said. "The track was still fresh but it got lost at the seaside."

"Looks like someone is trespassing our frontiers and hiding from us." Jared said.

"A bloodsucker?" Quil asked.

"Could be." Sam said. "Jacob?"

"Well, who else would run from us?" He said. "We could ask…"

"No ask." Sam said. "They would lie to us; we have to catch whoever is after this red-handed."

"It was weird." Jasper said. "It was a male, I'm sure. His blood smelled awful."

"A werewolf?" Carlisle asked.

"If you want I could ask Jacob." Bella offered softly.

"No way." Edward said. "If it's been one of his pack he is not telling you, and you would make him angry so he would attack you."

"But there's no other way…" Bella said.

"No Bella." Carlisle said. "I must agree with Edward, you can't go and ask them. It would be too risky."

"Then what can we do?" Rosalie asked. "Sitting here to just watch how things keep on going from bad to worse?"

"No, we could keep on trying to track whoever is after all this." Emmeret asked. "Unless Alice can tell us something else." He added noticing she was appearing to be seeing something.

"I've… there's a murdered bear next to here…" She said worried. "He is coming near…"

"He?" Carlisle asked.

"The man on pitch black hair." She stated. "He is looking for something or somebody; he was smelling the air after having killed the bear."

"That's been the longest one you've seen of him." Jasper told her.

"Is it any need of me taking Bella away from here?" Edward asked.

"Yes, take him to a little trip." Carlisle said. "In case things go wilder."

"By heavens shake Jacob!" Embry said when he saw him looking out of the window again towards the path to the house. "Again looking for an arrival? You do it day after day! Concentrate please!"

"I thought I head an engine coming near." He just said going back to reality.

"We were saying Quil, you and me will be going tonight to see if we can spot that menace before it ends with half of the woods animal population."

"Ah, yes." Jacob said. "Yes, good idea."

"Again he's been distracted?" Sam asked Billy.

"Aye, he is… well, he has been with his sight lost to the distance towards the road." The old man told him sadly. "I'm a bit worried about him. Legends don't tell anything about it, not at all… It's never ever been any other precedents of such an imprint…"

"It's already been a year." Sam said shaking his head a bit sadly. "He must accept she's gone. He can't be waiting for her all his life; he is being too distracted lately."

"And what can any of us do against it?" Billy asked then. "He appears normal most of time, and then we surprise him doing those weird things. Do you know what the last thing I've caught him doing is?"

"Hum?" Sam asked while Emily served them some hot cafe.

"He's been keeping a lady's dress and this morning I've caught him hugging it while he slept with his face buried at it." Billy said.

"What a moron…" Sam muttered covering his face with his hand.

"It's so romantic…" Emily said then. "It's a pity they are away the one from the other."

"Emily, it's not romantic, it's one side love." Sam said. "She doesn't feel anything towards him. She has not came back; she doesn't mind how he is."

"That's something insensitive to say." Emily said.

Then Sam began trembling a bit to stop it and open his eyes more calmed.

"I'm thanked to her for saving me when she could have let me die." He said. "But I'll never forgive her if she allows Jacob to go mad because she doesn't pay any attention or come back."

"By the way, he is out tonight with Embry and Quil, isn't him?" Emily asked.

"Yes, he mentioned something about it before." Billy said nodding. "Those two are blessed guys; they have paid him so much attention so as him to forget about her…"

"Yes, I've also heard of that." Sam said softly to the sigh. "Let's hope she comes back soon or that he can get over her…"

"We have nearly caught him!" Jasper shouted to Emmeret while they ran chasing the black haired guy.

It was late night when they were running after the track they caught. Following Alice's vision, they went to look for the place where the bear would be attacked and they managed to see the man; he was not as Alice has described him.

He ran fast, really fast indeed away from them after he saw them; anyway, Alice was able to stop her yellow sportive car in his way and he jumped over it so Emmeret was able to fall over him and hold him down.

"Who are you and why are you at our lands?!" He asked to suddenly feel some shaking under him and soon he was repelled by it to see a bit wolf running away from him.

"Chase him!" He then shouted to his brother and sister.

"A bloody bloodsucker!!" Quil's mind shouted while he, with Embry at the other side of the vampire, ran and Jacob ran ahead to try and get their prey. "One of those dirty and disgusting things has dared to hunt on our territories!!"

"Let's end him up fast!" Embry asked.

Just some metres ahead, Jacob jumped from over a big rock over the man and they began fighting.

Soon Quil and Embry had also arrived to help and Jacob was repelled by the man while he kept a lock of long pitch-black hair among his jaws.

"He is running away!" He thought.

Suddenly, that vampire seemed to have got lost from their sight yet they could still smell him.

"We need some help!" Quil said.

"No way!" Embry answered. "Sam and the rest are supposed to be resting!"

"And leave you alone with the fun?" Paul's mind answered. "We are not so far, Sam is with me and Seth and Leah are sleeping due to their injuries…"

"Do not do anything fool!" Sam ordered them.

"Watch out!" Alice said. "We are going to meet some werewolves!"

It was such, cause the werewolf they were chasing stopped at the very edge of both territories as if he knew exactly where the gap was.

All of sudden, he untransformed again yet still growled high and being produced at his throat.

All of sudden another one jumped into sight back with back with the werewolf.

"I'm on problems." The new one with long pitch-black hair said. "It seems I got into pooches' lands."

"Don't tell me?" The werewolf one said. "I'm having to face one of your dear bloodsuckers."

"Again looked for trouble?" The longhaired one said.

"No way, they were the ones beginning it." The werewolf said still snarling. "And I didn't got the full scent…"

"Same goes here." The other said.

Then they fell into silence and the longhaired one spoke while the wolf pack arrived and stopped shocked to see three Cullen stopping in front of them with not one but two men in the middle of both.

"Change?" The longhaired one said.

"Aye." The shorthaired answered.

Then both turned to face the other side making Alice drop her jaw as she met the guy he saw at her premonitions lately.

"Pooches with pooches." The longhaired one said.

"And bloodsuckers with bloodsuckers." The shorthaired said smiling.

"What's going on here?" Emmeret asked confused on all that while the werewolf they chased turned back into his wolf form. "How is now there's two of them?"

"Watch out." Alice said between teeth. "The man is the one at my promotions…"

"Sorry about what the fool of my brother has done." He began. "We didn't want troubles."

"Who are you?" Alice said pulling her arm in front of Jasper that was willing to jump over the wolf.

"How did she call it…?" He said appearing to be thinking of something. "Visitors." He said hitting his hand palm with the other one made a fist as he remember it. "We are visitors, came here tracking someone and we will leave as soon as we have found her."

"Who are you?" Sam asked the werewolf using the telepathy ability. "What was that bloodsucker doing in our lands?"

"And hunting!" Paul asked getting ready to jump over the foreigner.

"Was he?" The new wolf asked getting also ready for unexpected. "Well, he's been a bit over-thirsty lately; I bet he hunted that reason. We came here to track someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Emmeret asked the vampire guy. "In these lands."

"It's a vampire lady." He said. "I caught a little scent track to a point where those wolves caught me." He added pointing to the wolves still snarling to the wolf back him.

"A vampire lady?" Jasper said confused to then get ready to fight. "You are lying."

"Then only vampires around here are just Esme Rosalie and I." Alice said.

"Oh, man… this is just silly." The werewolf estranger said. "Why don't we all untransform and speak it like men?"

Then little by little they all began morphing into human again and they realised the estranger was wearing something like elastic trousers he straightened.

"Damn, I again lost my top." He said looking to his worked strong chest.

"Who told you to morph, you idiot?" The longhaired told him.

"Your friends there jumped over me and I had to morph to break away." The shorthaired said. "Just because I didn't felt like breaking my promise to her."

"Who's that vampire lady you are looking for?" Alice asked.

"I caught her scent to where they found me." Both guys said at once.

"Liars…" Jacob said.

"I promise I caught her scent." The two said looking to each other.

Then the longhaired sighed and hit the other one's arm over his own one.

"I caught her scent going a bit further from where I found some food at that deer crossing my way." The shorthaired said changing places again with the longhaired one.

"Same goes here." The other one said when he was hit again by the other one. "I caught a bit of her smell ahead of where they found me. It was a bit fainted already as you said, but I expected to find a clue of where she can be."

"You've not answered our question." Sam said. "Who is that vampire girl and why do you think we could have one of those in our territories?"

"You've not seen any around there?" The longhaired one said pointing towards the Quileutes' forests.

"Wait a moment, how was your lady looking?" Jacob asked shocked.

"About this height, long black hair, precious, a bit pale but not as much as them…" The longhaired said.

"She is not from here." The shorthaired said. "Our dear friend… she would have got into troubles here too. I caught the scent of his motorbike over that direction…" He added pointing towards Cullens' house.

"Bella 2." Alice muttered. "You were chasing Bella 2?"

"Bella?" Both said at once confused.

"Isabella-don't-know-what." Jacob said. "The most precious lash in this world. An angel riding a black Harley Davidson 1 MY motorbike."

"Yeah, matches her style." The longhaired said. "Yet I think last time was a Blue Harley Davidson VRSCB…"

"Why are you looking for her?" Both Alice and Jacob asked at once.

"Hey, seems she found good fellows again." The shorthaired said smiling in an ironical way.

"Bro, this is nothing to laugh at." The longhaired one said. "Sorry, we are friends of her. We think she got into bigger than what she thought matter. We wanted to give her a hand."

"You are late." Emmeret said. "She left a year ago towards somewhere else chasing a man."

"Late again…" The longhaired said putting his thumb and the third finger on his right hand covering his eyes looking down.

"Never mind we will keep on tracking her." The shorthaired said. "But first…"

"If you do anything fool she will tear your throat away, remember?" The longhaired said hitting his ribs with his shoulder.

"Geez… she's taken all the fun in my life away." He said.

"Wait a moment; we are not letting you leave like that." Sam said.

"Yeah, we still don't know who you two are." Jasper said.

"Sorry." The longhaired said. "We are friends of Isa, Isabella." He said correcting himself. "My name is Carlo and this is my brother Lucifer."

"Man, I didn't want to tell them my name." The werewolf said.

"Shut up." The longhaired guy said. "They are friends of our friend. Remember what we heard? She went America to met something called Cullen."

"I'm Alice Cullen." She said. "Bella 2 came to our house to have a look at some… problems here."

"But you said she left." The long haired said.

"To chase someone." Sam said. "Anyway, how is a vampire moves around with a werewolf?"

"This stinky thing is my brother." Both said at once.

"So you say you two are brothers?" Alice asked confuse.

"How can it be such?" Sam asked. "It's never been such a thing before… a vampire and a werewolf... brothers…"

"Hum, maybe because both species have always been enemies." Carlo, the longhaired guy said. "Maybe we are the only exception existing…"

"Don't keep on." Lucifer, the short haired said. "We are wasting time here; we have to track her before…"

"Before she has to face the man chasing her because she killed his mate." Emmeret said.

"How do you know of it?" Both brothers said.

"I saw it." Alice said. "And she said it was because of something she once did. Do you guys and she really thought we would not know?"

"Anyway, she said she would come back." Jacob said staring at them. "She must be about coming back."

"But…" Carlo said.

"She will come back soon." Quil said facing them. "Because she said so."

"Ok, ok…" Lucifer said. "We will wait here."

"C'mon, let's look for a place to stay." Carlo said then.

"I wonder when I am going to stop chasing that girl that always run away and keeps on saying she will soon end and..." Lucifer said sighing.

"Shut up, silly." Carlo told him hitting his neck softly. "You know time is different for us, stop barking around."

"What is that thing about time about?" Jacob asked then.

"Pooch, shut up." Carlo said when Lucifer was about speaking again. "You've spoken more than needed."

"I think you two are hiding something." Alice said then. "Maybe we should try with Edward asking them."

"We will look for somewhere to live at until our friend has came back." Lucius said. "Don't worry, we will not cause you any trouble, but when she arrives back… tell her we are around, aye?"

"I don't trust those two." Emmeret said.

"Nor do I." Jacob muttered for himself. "Sam?"

"Yes, keep them controlled, we will keep an eye on them." Sam nodded.
