Disclaimer: Not mine… I'm sure I have gotten that point across by now!
((A/N: I would like to apologize for the huge amount of time since I last posted. Especially since I so left Paul and Sam hanging on the cliff with the bombshell of Bella not being human just having been dropped. I didn't have any intention of waiting so long to write… but my muse ran away for a bit, and then I was dealing with my daughter and her wedding and now she is pregnant… I am soooo not old enough to be a Grandmother.. at least I don't think so at 37… but oh well.. I am kind of excited. Anyway I will try to atone for my lack of writing recently.. though I do have an interesting pseudo Revolution/Twilight cross over that has been plaguing my mind. It will center around Charlie/Miles and his not so blood niece Charlie Matheson. If anyone is interested Message me to let me know… I kinda want to have a test group to read it and give me advice. I will not be posting that one until it's complete though. Also I want to thank anyone who reviewed the last 4 chapters and has stuck with me for my twisted revamping (hehehehe couldn't help myself there) of Twilight.
Anyway on with the show…
((BTW, please remember this is unbeta'd so all mistakes are mine.))
La Push Cliffs
Sam's mind locked up at Paul's tactical nuke. He almost felt like his peril sensitive just went black due to the Nuclear Holocaust this was likely to cause. Isabella Swan wasn't human… but then according to Paul she wasn't a vampire either. Sam dropped down to the ground and wrapped one paw over his black furred muzzle as the only thoughts that went through his head were; Why me? And I fucking quit… Let Jake deal with this freak show. Because seriously I do NOT deserve this.
"Okay, so what is she, if she isn't a vampire?" Sam sighed heavily knowing no matter how much he wanted to resign his position as pack alpha and hand this cluster fuck off to Jake… it just wasn't going to happen. Which meant he needed to deal with it.
"I have no freaking clue. My wolf doesn't care about the red eyes… or the super strength… actually he is kind of turned on by the latter. He wants me to claim her and fuck her into submission then worry about what she is. I am kind of inclined to agree with him… but still the red eyes, while hot as hell on her, are kind of a creepy." Paul sighed his thoughts into his alpha's mind.
"Okay let me see what happened." Sam said after a few moments of contemplation.
Paul brought the memory to the forefront of his mind to let Sam see what had happened at the Swan residence. Sam groaned as he saw Paul jump through the window with the preternatural grace all the shifters had. And when the memory of the naked Paul and the nearly naked white girl flirting with each other filled the pack mind he glared at Paul with a look that said he thought the younger wolf had as usual been thinking with his cock.
But it was the display of both strength and speed combined with the weird shifting between red and brown that had happened in Bella's eyes that caused Sam to nearly choke on his own heart. Paul was right, she had abilities that only the cold ones had… and red eyes meant that she fed on humans, which made her the enemy. The distantly held conversation at the end did nothing to assuage the overburdened Alpha's fears.
"What the fuck are you going to Paul?" Sam sighed heavily as the memory ended.
"Fuck if I know, Sam. I am beginning to think all those hits to my head when fighting with baby Chief may have mentally damaged my wolf. I mean seriously… a fucking leech? How the fuck is that fair? You get cream puff Emily, Jared gets mild mannered submissive Kim and I get some kind of new freaky leech? What the hell? Was I a serial killer of puppies in a previous life or something? Or is there just something about me that pisses Taha Aki off?" Paul snarled as he jumped to his large paws and began pacing like a trapped animal.
"Hey guys… you totally missed me manipulating little Miss Swan into coming tonight." Jacob's metal voice suddenly dropped into the pack mind with it's typical happy intonations.
"Fuck, I forgot we invited her here." Sam snarled as he lurched to his feet.
"Well of course we did, she's Rage Boy's imprint, right? So why wouldn't we have her out here." Jacob asked, suddenly confused by the reticence in Sam's voice.
"Nothing, go back to sleep, Baby Chief." Paul snapped with a snarl through their shared internal communication.
"Ya know what? Fuck you, Paul. I would kill to have imprinted on someone like Swan. Not only was she growing into a stunning beauty last time she was here, she has a hellaciously funny personality when you get passed the shy clumsy little white girl she is." Jake growled back in defense of his childhood friend.
"I definitely wouldn't classify her as shy or clumsy, Black. So I seriously doubt she is anything like the girl you're use to hanging with." Paul said as the flash of her shoving him then blurring through her room flooded the pack mind momentarily.
"What the fuck was that?" Jacob roared as he charged up onto the cliff where the Alpha and their pack mate were.
"Nothing, Black… just your best friend and my imprint displaying Vampire abilities." Paul snarked at the younger wolf.
"There is no fucking way Bells is a leech." He growled warningly at Paul. "I was just with her. She was alive, and didn't smell like candied bleach. She actually smelled kind of like those pretty yellow flowers that Rachel liked. And a little like honeysuckle and something else. Something musky and predatory, like a shifter but not quite. Actually she smelled really fucking good, except for the top layer of her scent." Jake trailed off as he envisioned the beautiful girl in question. His memory snapped off when Paul let loose a nearly feral, needful groan.
"You're killing me, Black… seriously." Paul whimpered at the vision of his imprint and that scent filled his senses again. His cock hardened nearly instantly as he relived those moments he was within inches of having her in her bedroom last night.
But it was the brief sunlight breaking through the clouds in Jake's memory that was now forever etched into his memory. The sunlight lit up her chocolate brown hair, showing highlights of auburn and a few streaks of gold, her brown eyes lit up to an almost warm whiskey color, and her pale translucent skin didn't so much sparkle as it seemed to give off just the slightest unearthly glow, that would not be consciously be picked up by the humans near her. Even if it did draw them to her. Actually slap a pair of wings on her and damn it all if she didn't look like some kind of fallen Angel. There was just a little too much wicked amusement in buried in her eyes for her to be the normal kind of Angel. But fuck it was the blush that had Paul so hard he could hammer a nail.
"Fuck… stop Paul… seriously put the red rocket away… no one wants to see that. And I think Sam would agree with me that neither of us wants to see Bella that way." Jacob groaned as he flopped onto his belly and covered his eyes with his paws as if he were trying to erase Paul's take on his own memory, even as his tail swept the ground behind him, because honestly to Jacob Black there was nothing better than screwing with Paul.
Paul's reaction was to groan heavily and phase back to his human form, just before jumping off the cliff in the hopes that the icy cold water would be a cure for his current affliction known as blue balls.
"Well I know imprinting on a possible vampire is tragic, but seriously I think him jumping off the cliff to prove his point was a bit over dramatic, don't you think?" Sam said with a completely serious tone.
Jake blinked up at his normally stoic and tough as nails Alpha and then burst out in wolven chuffs of laughter.
"Did you just make a joke, Sam? Are you okay? I mean I know it can hurt the first time. Do you need to lay down?" Jake choked out between mental guffs of laughter.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer quotes? Really, Jake? That's the best you've got?" Sam snorted in amusement.
"Hey the one from the movie was cool… who wouldn't want to watch a hot little cheerleader slay vampires. And don't make me break out the quotes from the TV series. Because you know I am addicted to watching that little blond in her tight little mini skirts kick leech ass." Jake chuckled back, defending his choice of pop culture references.
"And this is our future Alpha and Chief, Ladies and gentle man." Sam shook his head with mirth as he watched the younger and only slightly smaller wolf rolling around on the cliff laughing his fuzzy ass off.
"Better." Paul's mind dropped back in on the pack. "Now what the hell am I going to do, Sam? What are we going to do?"
"Well she obviously doesn't want to tell us what she is, so we are going to get her out here and corner her. Make her tell us, we will decide from there." Sam said after a long moment of silent.
"You can't hurt her!" Jake cried incredulously. "She's an imprint and my best friend!"
"Jake, we will try to save her if we can. If she is a leech, maybe we can convince her to go on the Cullen diet or something. But since she is an imprint I find myself hesitant to refuse her entry to the Rez." Sam sighed.
"So basically you're saying we're going to wing it?" Paul asked as he padded up to them.
"It's the best I've got." Sam snarled angrily. "This has never happened before. So it's not like I have an example to go with."
"I wasn't criticizing, just making sure I understood, boss man." Paul said as he sat down next to Sam.
"Jake, when the fuck are you going to take over, because, dude this shit is way beyond me…" Sam trailed off with a frustrated huff.
"Hey is that my dad calling me? Yeah, sure sounded like him. I gotta go." Jake bolted suddenly, dropping out of the pack mind as he tore into the woods headed in the opposite direction of his house. Anything to escape the Sam guilt trip about him taking Alpha.
"Jake… JAKE!" Sam roared after him. "Son of a bitch… you know one of these days I swear I am going to super glue his furry but to the ground and make him understand his place in the grand scheme of things."
"Good luck with that, Sam… seriously you're gonna need it to get that boy to stop acting like a pup and start acting like an Alpha." Paul paused for a minute, his head cocking to one side before he gave a big wolfy grin. "And it is this moment right here… this shit that makes me so glad I'm only having to decide whether to kill my imprint or fuck her into submission."
"Yeah… you're right… your problem is easier." Sam snorted after a long moment.
((A/N 2: So yeah I had to throw that Buffy the Vampire Slayer quote in there… and of course I totally see Jake as someone who would be totally head over heels in lust with both versions of Buffy. I hope this was enough to sate you're appetites just a bit.))
