A.N. So as promised I am back! I have decided to try and update every week and a half to 2 weeks. Anyway, a huge shout out to Ebony Hallow, the one person to review! I feel a bit disappointed but I can't really judge… So thanks to Ebony Hallow I am continuing this story! Please review this time! It will definitely help me update a bit faster! If I get at least 5 reviews on this chapter I will update within a week so there's your incentive! Half of this chapter will be from Jacob's POV and the other half will be Max's so I hope you enjoy!
IMPORTANT!- This chapter is picking up right after Jacob finished tying up Max.
Jacob P.O.V.
I finished tying the bird-girl up and couldn't help but grin when she made a snarky comment about me being a boy scout. She definitely had personality. I headed over to where Sam had just finished tying up bird-boy to decide what to do.
"So what are we gonna do with them?" I inquired, asking the extremely obvious question. I glanced over toward the girl where Seth and Embry were standing guard and noticed Seth was favoring one of his front legs and made a mental note to ask him about it later.
"For now we'll take them to my house, Emily is going to be gone all day. From there we will need to decide if these kids pose a threat." He said, the whole time glaring at the boy who had managed to inflict some minor damage to him that was almost healed.
"So what if we decide they are a threat?" I didn't really want an answer but I needed to know. They were something new I had never seen before and I wanted to learn more about them.
"If we decide that they are dangerous then we will do the same as we would with any threat, we eliminate them." Sam stated this so factually that I felt my stomach drop slightly.
"We can't kill them, they're just kids! They're younger than me Sam! You know I will stand by you to the ends of the earth, but I will not watch you murder children, no matter what they are." Sam looked slightly shocked at how strongly I had opposed the idea but composed himself.
"I only said if they are a threat. We could always decide that they aren't and let them go. There's no need to get hasty Jake, we will deal with all of the details when the time comes. But if they are a danger to anyone, we will do what needs to be done and you will obey because I am the alpha. Until then we need to get them back to my house." Sam made it clear that this conversation was over when he began to walk over to the boy.
Jared was standing guard obediently by the kid while Paul paced slightly, probably ranting in his head about how much he hated children. I had seen enough of their fight to see that Paul had taken more than one blow and there was nothing he hated more than getting beat by a child. Sam motioned for me to help lift the boy onto Jareds' back since we didn't really want the hot-head carrying him home. With him bound and extremely light weight, his struggles were easy to ignore and it wasn't long before we were heading towards the girl.
As Sam and I lifted the girl, Embry stepped forward to take her, knowing Seth was injured. I looked into Seths' eyes and gave him a look of inquiry to make sure he was okay. He simply nodded his head in affirmation before turning to lead the way home. Although I was concerned about him, I had bigger things to worry about.
Sam walked beside Jared and the boy while I walked with Embry and the girl. I definitely got the better end of the deal. The girl laid still the whole ride and it was hard to tell if she had given up or was just saving her energy for a later fight. I would bet on the latter. The boy on the other hand was determined to make this trip as difficult as possible.
When Sam would least expect it the boy would jerk his body off of Jared, causing us to stop every 2 minutes so Sam could put him back on. It was clear that Sam was ready to murder the kid already.
When we were about 5 minutes from home the boy shot his bound feet out and managed to kick Sam square in the jaw before sliding off Jareds' back… again. I had to struggle to keep from laughing at the look on Sam's face and was pleasantly surprised he didn't just get mad and phase. The bird girl burst out laughing at Sam's expense. Sam begrudgingly shoved the kid back onto Jareds back, all gentleness vanished, and we finished the journey.
When we arrived at Sam's house I carried the girl inside and Sam carried the boy, allowing the others to go phase in the woods. While I gently set the girl on the couch, Sam haphazardly tossed the boy beside her. The rest of the pack soon entered, including Leah and Quil who I assume had been let in on what was going on.
"Why are there two kids tied up on your couch?" Leah asked, sounding slightly disturbed. So apparently no one had told them anything. I decided I would let Sam take the lead on this one.
"Let's go outside to discuss this. Jacob, you and Seth stay in here and watch them." Without another word he led the remainder of the pack outside, far enough away that we wouldn't be able to hear what was being said. For the first time since we got back I turned to Seth who was cradling his right arm.
"Is it broken?" I asked, although I was pretty sure I already knew the answer.
"Not anymore." Seth quipped, acting as if he wasn't in pain. I motioned for him to come over to me and I checked his arm to ensure it had healed back correctly. Luckily it had healed straight and wouldn't need to be re-broken.
"Don't worry; it healed fine so it should stop hurting within the hour." I responded before shoving him to go sit down in the only available seat. I looked over at the kids and noticed them staring intently at us. I decided to break the silence.
"So, what's your name?"
Max P.O.V.
We get attacked in the wood, kidnapped, drug to some house in the middle of nowhere and our kidnapper wants to know our name. Yeah, that is so not gonna happen.
"My name is Akila and this is Total. What's your name?" I hoped that Fang was amused and not mad at me for inadvertently calling him a dog.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jacob and this is Seth." So now I know whose arm I broke and who tied me up, I would consider this progress. "So what are you guys?" Jacob continued.
Fang and I both answered simultaneously. "Angels." Both boys looked confused and shocked at the same time, like they actually believed us.
"No way," Jacob finally said, waking from his trance "That's not possible." I decided I would try to figure out some information of my own.
"But being a werewolf is possible?" I asked, taking a total shot in the dark. The look on their faces immediately gave it away.
"How do you know that?" Seth exclaimed, looking slightly worried.
"I told you, we're angels, and we know everything." I would have loved to spread my wings at that moment for emphasis but the ropes made it impossible. By this point Seth looked like he wanted to run and hide and Jacob still looked suspicious.
"Then prove it, what can you do? Do you have any special powers?" Of course Jacob would ask this. It was like Roland ter Borcht all over again, only less German and less psychotically evil it seemed.
"Well I have x-ray vision." I announced, using the Gasman's famous line. I then stared directly at Jacobs crotch and began chuckling. He immediately covered himself with his hands self-consciously and I couldn't help but laugh. A look of realization crossed his face.
"You totally just made that up, didn't you." He asked although I'm pretty sure he already knew the answer.
"Yup." I answered with a big smile causing Seth to begin hysterically laughing.
"Let me guess, you're not Angels either…" Wow, Jacob was smarter than I thought. Seth stopped laughing long enough to hear what I had to say.
"Nope." Fang spoke for the first time. While Seth continued to laugh Jacob looked slightly pissed off that he had believed us. Well, that's life. He stomped out of the room into what I assumed was the kitchen by the sound of pots and pans banging. He was obviously making a mess. I made a mental note that Jacob doesn't like being made a fool.
"Hey, while you're in there could you get me something to eat, I'm really hungry!" I shouted, causing the banging to get louder. After a few minutes he re-entered the room with 2 plates, each with a sandwich on it. He placed them in front of us on a small coffee table and mumble 'you're welcome'.
"Well unless you're going to feed us you might want to untie our hands." I suggested, turning my body so he could see my hands still tightly bound behind my back, making it impossible to eat anything.
Instead of untying us, he picked up the sandwich and held it in front of my face. His smartness was starting to get really irritating. I refused to let him think he won so I simply smiled and took a large bite. When I was finished with my sandwich Jacob held up the other one for Fang but he simply shook his head, mumbling about not being hungry. Jacob took that as an invitation to eat the sandwich himself. As he finished his food, Seth finally spoke up.
"So if you're not angels, what are you? And how did you know what we are?" I guess it was only a matter of time before one of them asked.
"What we are doesn't matter, but as far as how I knew what you were, I didn't. I just took an extremely lucky guess and your faces instantly gave away that I was right. You really need to work on your poker faces." Both boys instantly realized their mistake.
"Sam is going to kill us." Both responded simultaneously with a look of horror and dread on their face. This was extremely amusing to watch. Even tied up we were causing them hell.
"Sorry to interrupt your sulking, but do either of you know what time it is? We were supposed to be home by a certain time…" They both turned to stare at us as if they had forgotten we were even there.
"Wait, you have a home? Are there more of you?" Jacob answered, instantly switching into battle mode, glancing around like he expected to find another bird kid behind him.
"I know, shocking right? Who would have thought that I would get a home! But low and behold, I do and I can't imagine my family being happy if I don't get home on time. They have quite a temper. And to answer your question, there are many more of us." I was really enjoying making them sweat.
Just then the rest of the group or pack or whatever you want to call them walked into the house, clearly having heard at least the end of the conversation. The other man from the clearing, the one who tied up Fang, immediately began giving orders. I was pretty sure he was the leader.
"We all need to be on guard! Leah, Paul and Jared, you all go out and search the wood for any sign of more. Embry, Quil and I will guard directly outside in case they come looking for these two. Jacob and Seth, you stay here and let us know if they say anything else of importance. Let's go, we don't have time to spare." And with that they all split up, kind of reminding me of little ants scattering about.
"You never did answer my question, what time is it?" Jacob looked over at me like I had lost it but as if just to get me to shut up he looked over at a clock I hadn't seen and announced it was 12:52.
I nodded at Jacob before turning to Fang. "I told Esme we would be back by 12, knowing her she probably already has the whole family out looking for us." I joked, providing slight comfort to both of us. It definitely helped having someone that cared about us.
"Are you talking about Esme Cullen?" Seth exclaimed, looking shocked. I had almost forgotten they were still in here.
"That depends, what do you know about the Cullens'?" I growled, not liking that they now knew more than they needed to. I wasn't expecting them to know who Esme was.
"Dangit! I should have known the Cullens were involved!" Jacob shouted, punching the wall and leaving a large hole. "Seth, you watch them while I go talk to Sam." He didn't even wait for affirmation before he stormed out of the house.
I leaned over to Fang and mock whispered "Just a random guess but I'm starting to think they don't like the Cullens." Even Fang grinned at that one. I just hope we didn't start a war.
A.N. What did you guys think? I still haven't decided who's gonna imprint on who so below I put some different options so when you review please let me know your favorite combination!
A- Embry- Angel
B- Embry- Nudge
C- Leah- Gazzy
D- Seth- Angel
E- Seth- Nudge
I will not have anyone imprint on Max or Fang because they will end up being together and that just makes it too complicated. And no one will imprint in Iggy because he is staying with Ella. Anything else is fine.
