10.
It took us less than a minute to get back to the human, as we sat, still as statues we finalized our plan; Jacob would act animalistic and prepare to eat the human, the vampire will walk in and no doubt recognise what Jacob is and make a runner for it Jake will chase him for a few seconds then come back and in that space of time me and Edward will have managed to get the human to the hospital.
Edward glanced down at his watch, it was time.
I heard a strangled gasp as the poor human laid his eyes on my wolf friend for the first ever time, his accelerated heart beat and heavy breathing indicated how he was now feeling. Terrified. Before Jake could completely get his mussel to the neck of the human we heard a faint rustle in the trees, however it wasn't from the direction Alice had predicted, then jumping over mine and Edwards head came a mountain lion, why did this have to happen?
A second scream left the mouth of the now shell shocked human, he will be having night mares for weeks, and the worst is yet to come. He still hasn't witnessed Edward the vampire or I at work yet.
I watched as my husband sprang I could register my mind warning him not to, that the new vampire would be here shortly, but if Jake was preoccupied with the lion when they came then the vampire would be free to snag the human, I guess that's why he did it. In one Leith leap he had his arms securely around the neck of the beast and tightened, cutting of all circulation and also crushing the bones in progress, leading to a quick death. We would drink from it later as to not waste the poor things life.
I could see that Jacob had paused staring at Edward, probably having a mental conversation and making sure he was okay. I would have done so as well if it wasn't for the fierce face looking on amused at what was playing out in front of him. He looked at me and the smile was immediately wiped clean off his face, replaced by pure shock most likely at my new beauty. Old human memories were begging to come to the surface as I curiously looked at his face. What was it about him?
Since the show was over and he had obviously been spotted he sped in to action springing at the human, I did the same, just at him and we collided with a thunderous boom. To my side, I could see the human looking at me, well not looking, it was more of checking me out and even though we were trying to save him I could now tell from the growl that Edward let off, he wouldn't mind leaving right this second. Jacob started up his barking dog laugh earning a punch in the side. I seriously couldn't believe it, even in a life and death situation humans always have to be so immature, lustful and wrong.
I rugby talked the vampire and pined him to the grownd. Then as if I was about to remove his head I leaned in and opened my mouth, at this I heared a gasp from Edward and he started to walk over, but I could take care of myself and I mentaly let him know what I was doing.
With a bit of pressure I put my poisonous teeth to his neck and he screamed out in pain, I then retracted then and leant in to his ear;
"now…" I whispered, "your' not going to put up a fight are you, and you report us for this will you" I asked letting malice coat my smooth angelic voice.
He didn't speak just shook his head, "good because if you did then you wouldn't want to know what I would do to you and any of your friends" I replied and stood up and turned away.
Edward growled the same noise that I heard whenever anyone was thinking improperly of me, I think that he felt like to man wasn't getting up quick enough as with a swift kick he sent him flying into the forest.
I looked down and started to talk business before Jake could start commenting on what just happened
"okay so how are we going to deal with this then" I asked gesturing to the now unconscious human.
"well I'm pretty sure he's gone in to shock so it would be wisest to just take him straight to the hospital" Edward replied an uneasy expression on his face. "Jake I think it might be best for you to carry him though, you know seeing as there is blood. And would you mind if me and Bella just had a quick talk?"
Jakes big wolf head first nodded then shook answering both questions, Edward lifted the human on to his back and then before he could leave I called "we won't be long so just wait at the house for us then we will drive him to the hospital and get Carlisle to look at him." Yet again he nodded and then took off in to the distance.
Me and Edward finished with the lion and then set it aside before enveloping each other in our comforting embrace. He started to hum my lullaby to me as he rhythmically stroked my hair trying to calm me. We stood like that for a few minutes lost in thoughts of our love for one another, knowing that nothing can ever split us up, acknowledging that we will have a tough time working out high school, and even more, working out how our life will be like now that we have returned. There will be lots of memory's that we will have to make it through, hard and also good, so, so, so good. Whatever happed we will face it together, and the first of many to come problems is this new face, how do I know it is it a coincidence or is it something much more sinister? And above all dose this vampire and possibly his coven pose any threat to our family?
"love, you know you can talk to me, right? I get that it must have been hard to do that but it was all okay in the end, what I don't get is why react so, so unlike you when you told him to leave, it was frightening yet amazing to watch" Edward said to me and I knew that I needed to confide in someone about what happened and how I am feeling.
"to tell you the truth, I don't know what came over me when I was fighting him, it's just his mere presence makes me so angry and confused I don't know where I know him from but I do and I know I sound crazy but it is really getting to me."
"I never saw his face so I can't say where you know him from but all I can say is that he does have a gist and from what I can tell it has something to do with control over the emotions like jasper, but I think that due to your shield it doesn't work as effectively on you, well that's all that I got from his mind anyway."
"I know, let's just put It behind us I don't want to feel like this anymore so let's go help the human." I said, he agreed and we started running all the time Edward was ranting about how human men should try better to keep their thoughts under control and when in a life and death situation it might come in handy for them to prioritise rather than think of their dream future wife, even though they are already happily married and have two children! To be honest I couldn't believe that the man we thinking some of the things Edward told me, and I just hoped he would stay with his wife and not suddenly realise the beauty that's out there and go hunting for it.
Even though we were running away from what just happened and we agreed to keep it in the past, I had this feeling, like a sixth sense that it was not the last we had seen of that vampire and that he would be back.
