I am also sorry for the long wait. Again, glad everyone is enjoying we are.
(BTW you most defiantly will be able to blow things up with me Pyros Rule :))
Max's POV
I landed quietly on a tree branch, folding my wings as I steadied myself, my eyes glued to the scene unfolding before me.
Within the cluster of trees stood 5 horse sized wolves, all different colours. The auburn one seemed to be radiating fury, as if communicating with the others.
The first thing that came to my mind was Erasers. Though I thought the School had killed them all off. But no, there they were, before my eyes, more enhanced then before. They never killed them those little twerps!
I growled quietly, shifting slightly on my branch, preparing to jump on them, getting rid of them before they could become a nuisance.
The Erasers all looked up at me then, and growled. My eyes connected with the auburn one immediately and his growl cut off immediately. My eyes narrowed as I jumped towards them, tackling the auburn one to the ground. He whimpered; wimp.
I had him pinned to the ground as a black wolf threw me off him. I barely missed the claws he attacked me with.
Damn, the Erasers have gotten stronger, and faster.
I leapt to me feet, not even taking a second's pause, crouching in front of the five Erasers, the one I tackled still on the ground.
Run. I flinched at the sound of the Voice. I can't do that, those things will report back to the School and tell them where I am and that the Flock isn't with me. I growled at it while I focused on the wolves. Suddenly a grey one pounced at me. I spun out of the way at the last second, causing the Eraser to skid a few feet in the dirt.
Run Max. You aren't meant to fight them. The voice commanded. No, I thought back. Slowly, I could feel the beginning of a brain attack starting, and it wasn't going to give up.
I whimpered, fighting the urge to scream. I wouldn't let these Erasers know of my weakness.
In hopes of ending the pain, I ran, dodging trees blindly. The farther I ran, the more the pain eased. Eventually I was able to think clearly. In time to notice that the Erasers were following me. I snarled in frustration, thinking on my feet as I jumped and grabbed hold of one the branches above me. I swung around and landed nimbly on top. Quickly I began jumping from branch to branch.
I fought the urge to just jump into open air and fly off, these Erasers wouldn't catch me then, but I didn't. I continued to jump from branch to branch until they suddenly stopped, watching me run off.
Once I felt like they couldn't see me anymore, I unfurled my wings and took to the air, heading back to Bella's.
Well damn, that's one rude awakening from my fairytale.
Jacob's POV
I couldn't believe it. One second I was yelling at my father, the next I was a freaking wolf, standing in our living room as I watched my father call Sam.
I heard a rumble echo through the small house only to realize it was me.
Not seconds later, I was hearing a voice in my head that was most definitely not my own.
Go outside Jacob. Sam. What the hell was he doing in my head?
You're a wolf, a protector of the tribe, like the legends say. Now go outside. As if Billy knew what Sam had said to me, he had the back door open. Through it I could see a black wolf.
I also found I couldn't seem to refuse Sam's order, so I walked through the back door and into the back yard, until I was facing the black wolf.
Sam?
The wolf nodded.
Hey Jake!
I back pedaled at the sound of Embry.
What the hell man? What happened to you? What's going on?
I told you, you are a protector of the tribe, a werewolf. We are what we are to defeat our enemies. Sam said.
Those stories are true? Holly crap.
I know, it was a lot for me to take in too. Embry added.
Follow us into the forest. We can't risk anyone seeing us; Sam said backing into the forest.
What about Billy?
He knows, all the Elders do.
I followed Sam and Embry into the woods; just as I saw two other join us. Jared and Paul? I guessed.
The one and only, Paul said.
Sam stopped suddenly, and turned to face me. They explained everything, how there were vampires in the area, hence our shifting. About our high body temperature, the patrols we would take turns doing, even about imprinting.
You can't hang around anyone but us. You're too unstable right now. You could shift at any moment, hurting someone and expose our secret.
I immediately thought of Max and Bella.
It was then that we heard a soft growl and a tree branch shift slightly. In unison, our heads snapped up and we growled at the figure in the trees. I looked closer and my eyes locked with a pair of familiar brown ones. Immediately nothing else mattered and my growl cut off. The entire world could have been blown up and as long as we were together it wouldn't matter. Max was all that connected me to the earth by her steel cables.
Paul swore. He's imprinted on the leech Sam.
I didn't get to hear Sam's response. Max jumped from the tree and tackled me, pinning me to the ground. I whimpered at the unforgiving, glare she was giving me.
Sam tackled Max, throwing her off me as my brain was going berserk, trying to stop him from hurting her. The speed in which Max dodged Sam's attack.
Max stood watching us, my eyes still on hers when I heard Paul planning to attack her too.
Don't you dare, I threatened.
She's a leech, Black. We have to get rid of her. Paul charged at Max but she dodged him, whimpering. For a second I thought he got her when I saw she was perfectly fine.
She can't be one of them, Paul. Her hands were never cold, her eyes are brown. You said those are some of the signs.
That doesn't explain her smell, or her speed or strength, he thought as Sam, Embry, and Jared ran after her. No human would be able to tackle you to the ground. Then he followed the others. I wasn't far behind him, not wanting them to hurt her.
I caught up to them quickly as I saw Max jumping from tree branch to tree branch, trying to escape us. That made my heart sink. She was trying to run away from me.
But watching her, I was amazed at her grace.
Snap out of it, Jacob. Sam snapped, immediately stopping. Treaty land, he explained to me.
Glumly, I watched Max run away from me. The farther I knew she got, the bigger the whole in my chest grew.
