CH.10
Disclaimer: I do not own twilight or any of its characters.
Sorry guys that I didn't update the last chapter sooner. I just had a whole lot going on, work wise that is. Because of that I decided to update chp. 10 sooner than I had planned. The last chapter was a bit boring, I know. So hopefully this one is a bit better or at least the story gets better. Thanks for all the great reviews. You guys rock.
By the time I got back to Sam's house to see if he had any orders for us these thoughts of family were long gone from my mind. I stepped inside the house and everyone was already there.
"Finally you got here. We were just waiting for you so we could go hunting." Quil said with a sly smile.
"What's the news?" I asked as I sat down at the kitchen table.
"This morning a murder was reported. I talked to Charlie and he told me some details. It seems that one of our little vampires killed a young man and women in their early 20's." Sam said. A growl came from deep inside my chest.
"Calm down Bella. We'll get them." Paul said patting me on the shoulder.
"No, it's not that." I said shaking his hand off. "I had them in my grasps just seconds ago. I saw them out there by the…by the Cullen's house. They were swimming in the creek behind it. I could have killed them but they were playing like a family and…and I just left them." I let out an angry sigh and then I growled, "I'm such and idiot." Everyone looked at me not knowing what to say.
"It's okay Bella. We are going to get them one way or another." Jacob said hugging me close to his body. I inhaled the sweet musky, woody scent that was my Jacob. I pulled away and said, "Well let's go get them." We could easily take these two vampires. We went after them that second not waiting for them to be able to go hunting again. We found them still playing in that stream. We first surrounded them and then one by one came out growling.
At first they seemed to ignore us but then the man started to get defensive. He stood in front of the little girl and growled right back at each one of us. Paul was the first to attack and the man met him halfway in the air. The little girl screamed out, "daddy!" Sam lunged at her but without even thinking I lunged at Sam and pushed him away from her. A loud ferocious growl erupted from me.
"STOP!" I yelled at the rest of the pack. Paul paused right as he was about to take a swipe at the man's face. The young girl seemed to be dry sobbing and the man stood there waiting for the blow from Paul's to wipe of his face. He was trapped with no way to get out. He was under Paul's paw with his back right against the bark of a tree.
"We can't do this. That's her father and she is just a child." I said to the rest of the pack.
"No she isn't. She is a cold blooded killer. Don't you see that?" Sam said to me. I read his thoughts and I could see that nothing I said would change his mind.
"Fine…but if you are going to kill them I will be have no part in it." I said and ran back the way I had come. Even before I had gone two steps I heard the screams of the little girl as she was killed by the rest of the werewolves. I could feel the salty tears running down my face and staining my fur. I knew that I would always remember the horrible screams of that little girl.
I kept running though, hoping that if I did I would be able to erase those horrible screams that had emitted from her. I didn't understand how I could be considered a good person when I was supposed to kill something like a child. Maybe she was considered a killer but she was a kid, and she had the right to live as much as anyone else did. What right did I have to decide if she could live or die? Everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserved a second chance.
