Chapter 8- Vohkinne Pack
The hot air hit me hard when I opened the door to the small twenty-four hour cafe. Not only that, it was also mixed in with the smell of human blood. I felt my fists clench into fists as I took one step in. I took the sunglasses off, checking how the contacts look like.
They were still brown.
When I sat down, an elderly woman came up to my table and took my order.
Human food.
"What can I get you, dear?" she asked.
"Just coffee," I said. She was taken back by my voice.
When she left, the man behind the bar looked at me. He was middle aged, clearly married, and balding at the top of his head.
"You just stopping by, young lady?" the man asked.
I shook my head. "I'm staying at the house down at Olvera Street." I corrected.
Everyone in the café turned to look at me.
"The big house there?" the man continued. I nodded. "No one has lived in that house for God knows how long."
I knew that statement would come up.
"My dad has inherited it from his grandparents. I'm staying there for the meantime."
"How long will you be here?" the other, older man sitting at the stool, asked.
"Just a few days. Maybe a week. I'm traveling." I said.
The woman came back with my coffee. I could see the steam of it coming in the air and then disappearing. I listened intently to what the locals where whispering about me.
"Spoiled girl," one of the five women sitting in the back said.
They were all about my age.
"You're just jealous," the other said, the red headed one.
"Jealous?" the same woman scoffed. The blond. "I wouldn't be jealous of that woman."
"I think she's pretty," the next one said. The brunette.
"She's said staying here for a while, maybe we should show her around," the black haired girl said. The other blond, the one next to her, turned to look at me.
I decided to ignore then. I turned my attention back to the older group of people. The elderly woman was speaking with the two men.
"I heard that house was built back in the 1500's." the man said as he wiped dished clean.
"The other day, my wife saw men at the house," the old man said.
"I think I saw them. Group of pale handsome young men," the woman added.
"That young lady is so pale," the old man said, looking at me. "And very beautiful. The good DNA must run in the family."
"She's obviously been fed with a silver spoon," the man said.
"I wonder why she's here," the man said. "Why pick this town to stay at?"
After a moment of silence, they started on a new subject.
"One of Baker's kids went missing," the old man said.
"They found him down by the lake. Dead, though." the man said.
"The weird thing is, his body was drained of blood," the woman whispered.
Alejandro and Benedict did feed while they where here stacking up the house. And worse, they didn't clean their mess properly.
"Last time that happened was a few years back," the woman continued. "It was one of the tourists. Her body was found in the forest, buried. Her blood was drained."
"They say her fingers were sticking out of the ground," the old man said.
"It was right after the big storm. The rain must have washed off most of the dirt." the man said. "The Natives in the village are going crazy."
Natives. Flashes of the wolf in the meadow ran through my head.
"Three of their men are growing so rapidly," the woman said. "Like some weird growth spurt. The other day, Keme, grew like five inches. What do they feed their kids there?" the woman shook her head.
And image of a six foot toned and muscular man with dark-tone russet skin flashed in my eyes. He was handsome and he reminded me again of the same wolf. And those eyes, they looked so familiar.
"Young lady?" the woman asked from the counter.
"Yes?"
"Are you alright?" she asked. "You haven't touched your drink."
I smiled at her. I stood up and dropped a bunch of bills on the table. "It's alright. I have to go anyways."
"Coffee is only two dollars," she said, eyeing the tens I put.
"Keep the change," I said, walking out and hopping in my car.
"Told you," the man whispered. "Fed with a silver spoon."
I drove away as fast as I can. Somehow the big man and the wolf had a connection. But I didn't know how.
When I drove into the trees, it suddenly got quiet. I stopped the car, parking it to the side. I smelt something stinky in the air. Then, from out of nowhere, two big wolves jumped out from the trees.
Instinctively, I crouched into a fighting stance. But when a tall brown skinned Native man stepped out, something was up. They didn't want to fight. They were guarding the man.
"Calm down, leech," the deep voiced man said.
I stood up straight but kept guard of the wolves.
"Who are you, dog?" I sneered.
"I am Patwin, leader of the Vohkinne wolf pack," he said. "I'm afraid you are traveling on our land."
"I apologize, wolf," I said. "I'm Isabella Volturi."
"The return of your kind has changed our children," Patwin said. "So far, there are just only me, Yuma," he pointed to the black wolf to his left. "and Kwahu," the white wolf to his right. "who have been turned. Keme is in the process of turning. But we must know if more of your kind is coming."
"It's only me, wolf," I said.
"It is our job to protect our people so we ask of you to not step on our land ever again. We'll let this time pass, but if it happens again, we'll have to kill you." Patwin warned.
I nodded.
"Will you be staying for long, cold skin?" Patwin asked.
"I'm traveling. I won't be here long," I answered him.
"One of the humans in the upper town was killed. Was it you?" he asked.
I shook my head. "It was one of my father's men." I replied.
"They were here a few days ago," Patwin said. "Will they be back?'
"No," I said. "They will be punished for their actions."
"You a human feeder, I see," he observed.
"I am," I said. The two wolves growled. "But I can control myself, wolf."
"Just give us your word that you will not harm any humans and we'll stay out of your way," Patwin said. His brown eyes watched my every move.
"You have my word," I promised.

"The Vohkinne Wolf Pack?' Aro asked on the phone.
"Apparently, when Alejandro and Benedict came here, it triggered their wolf genes," I explained as I flipped through the multiple clothes Heidi has sent me. "They fed here and did not dispose of the bodies properly."
"We'll take care of Alejandro and Benedict," Caius said.
"What did the wolf say?" Aro asked.
"Just to stay off their lands," I said. 'I'm leaving right away. I'm not staying long. Suspicions have been raised but I'm not in danger."
"Where are you headed next?' Marcus asked.
"I'll wait till the cars get here. I'll have CeeC be shipped again and drive Buggs to Alaska," I said, sitting in one of the couches.
"It's a pretty long drive," Aro mused.
"I want to travel anyways," I said.
"Be safe, my Isabella," Aro said.
"I will," I smiled.
Jacob Black
"Jacob?" Edward answered the phone.
About a month ago, I called in gave the Cullen's the best news we've heard in years. I had seen Bella. In the meadow. But with good news comes with bad. She had run away yet again and I wasn't able to catch up to her.
"I have another news for you," I said.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Sam was contacted by another wolf leader," I said. "The Vohkinne pack in Canada. Their town was visited by a few vampires, triggering their wolf genes. They spoke with a vampire a few days ago, a Volturi vampire."
"How could the Volturi be involved with this? Why does it concern us?" he asked.
"The woman they described gave the exact description of Bella the last time I saw her," I said. At least, I hope it was Bella.
There was a pause on the line.
"Where are you heading right now?" Edwards asked.
"I'm going to the rez to speak with Sam. Maybe I can make contact with the Vohkinne Alpha too," I replied. "Hopefully they can send me an image or something. Just to make sure."
"How were they able to contact Sam?" Edward asked.
"Remember when I told you that Alpha's can contact each other through their minds?" I reminded him.
"Yes," he replied. "But it's not the same. The information is limited."
"Exactly," I smiled. "Patwin, the leader, was able to call out to Sam yesterday. Sam responded. Patwin told Sam about the vampire and then Sam contacted me. He had the same suspicion it was Bella too."
"Why haven't you made contact with Patwin?" Edward asked.
"I can't find him." I said. "I was thinking maybe if I go back to La Push, I can reach Patwin."
"Do you think it's Bella?" he asked.
"Yes," I said, not missing a beat. "You?"
"Not a doubt," he replied just as fast.
When we both hung up, I quickly changed into a wolf and ran as fast as I can to La Push.
The Quileute's can't be the only wolf pack out there. There are more. And it was just like Bella to find the other.
Alpha's can contact other Alpha's. And It's a perfect opportunity to try it out. Seth and Leah are still in Jacob's pack. Jacob and Sam are not in the same pack. And no matter how far away each pack is, they can still contact each other. But Patwin, yes it's a Native name, can't find Jacob's mind.
I did research on Native names and chose those. Meanings?
Vohkinne: Roman Nose
Patwin: Man
Yuma: Son of a Chief
Kwahu: Eagle
Keme: Secret
Cool Names Right?
