I wake up in a familiar white room. I sit up on the... I look down to see I'm sitting on a sofa, not a bed. 'Where...where am I?'
"We must prepare. Isabella will be here in a month's time..."
"Little training never hurt."
"There's only seven of us!"
"Not for long. I had a vision that we have a lota support on this."
"That's better then nothin."
I listen to the Cullens talk. 'They musta brought me back here... I should've known by the mixed sweet smells... but what is that?' I sniff the air at the musty mix.
"We'll stick by you!" Seth?
"It's the most we can do. You saved my son." Dad?!
"Carlise, we're here for you and your family, ecspecially after Jacob's imprint." Ah shit! Sam knew?!
"Thank you very much Sam but this is too dangerous. I'm afriad for my own family as well as yours at this point."
Everything's quiet...
"I understand. But that doesnt change my answer."
"Sorry Carlisle, but we're fighting with you." And Quil. I hear Carlisle sigh but I can hear his smile. "I guess I dont have much of a choice. Thank you Sam, thank you all of you." I hear the embarrassed, happy mumurs. "I better finish patching up Jake." I hear Edward say. The mumurs continue and half way up the steps, Sam stops Edward.
"Edward!" I gulp. "Yes Sam?"
"...You love Jacob?"
and without a second thought
"With all of my heart."
I laugh alittle at that and lay down. "You hurt him-"
"Sam if I hurt Jacob mentally, physically, emotionally or verbally, I say this in front of my family and your tribe, you find me and you tear me apart. Deal?" I feel the heat rise to my face. "Thats a deal Eddy." Sams light chuckle fills the house before the talking resumes and Edward opens the door. "Well, I think that went well." he gives me a small smile before sitting next to me. "How are you feeling?" his hand touch my chest and I shiver slightly, at the same time realizing I have no shirt on. "I-I'm okay. Not in p-pain." I curse myself and try to hang on to my nerves. "Thats good to hear." he smiles softly as he traces one of the many brusies on my torso. I flinch alittle and he pulls his hand away. "Sorry. I know their still tender." I shake my head. "I wasnt flinching at you..." I turn my head away. 'I... was flinching at how I got them...' imagines of Vinny and Kindel run through my head.
"They had no right! I'll fucking tear them apart!" I look at Edwards sudden mood change. His clench jaw, his slightly glowing eyes. "Damn right..." I mumble, laying my hand on his leg. He automatically relaxs under my touch, making me smile and blush a little more. "Their not going to hurt you anymore, thats a promise." he puts his hand on top of mines.
"I- Edward..." I try to find something to say but my hearts hammering against my ribs so hard I cant tell if I'm whispering or yelling. I watch his sharp tooth smile as he leans in, his face only inches away from mine. "I meant what I said back there, with Sam. I love you Jacob." his eyes search my face. I open my mouth but nothing comes out so I stick to thinking. 'I love you too.' I push myself up, closing the distance between us. I gasp into the kiss as ten electric volts running down my spine, quickly turning the gasp into a moan.
He growls and damn! I'd be lying if I said I didnt find it turning me on more. He climbs on top of me, his hand roaming my chest. His cold fingers practically sizzling as they touch my skin. I groan and run my fingers through his super soft bronze hair, tangling my fingers through it. My lungs start to scream for air, though I'd just happily die like this, I break the kiss. I lock eyes with his irish green eyes. 'Pretty...' the sound of his chuckle snaps me out of my thoughts. I curse myself. "I keep forgetting..." I mumble, looking away from him as my face heats up. "I know." his finger curl around my chin, dragging me back to look at him. My heart races faster as my thoughts go wild.
'I've never felt this way
My heart is beating so fast
I cant take my eyes off of him
I feel like my heart will burst if he lets go of me'
Edward smiles and nuzzles his nose with mine. "So cute puppy." I narrow my eyes. "Arent you suppose to be patchin me up?" he leans away with a smile and I hold off the urge to pout at the absence of his closeness. "Actually, I forgot all about that." he laughs, sitting next to mine. 'How could anybodys laugh be so... amazing?' he pulls a first aid kit from under his bed and turns back to me. I turn away from his knowing smirk as he bandages my cuts and tends to my brusies. 'How can he just... break me down like this?!' I shake my head lightly, my heart taking a steady pace. "So I break you down huh?" I snap my head to him and narrow my eyes. "No! You dont! Finish fixing me!" he laughs again and I dont think I could've ever imagined a vampire, centuries old, look so... happy. "I've found the person I want to be with for a long, long time, excuse me if I'm a little gidy. Lift." his voice rings with a slight olden happiness and I cant help but smile. "I'm not objecting." I lift my back and shoulder and turn to him a bit as he wraps a peach colored bandage wrap around my stomach and my right shoulder and gives me a quick glance then smirks. Then I feels his fingers drift over my upper right shoulder. "Wow..." he mumbles and I slightly turn my head. "What?" I ask. "I..Its your imprint mark." I hum with a smile. "Well, whats it look like?" his fingers press down on the mark. "Redish brown, rusty gold vines, twisted in the shape of the intials 'E.A.M'" I tilt my head a little in confusion. "E. A. M?"
"Yeah. Those were my original intials, before I was turned. Edward Anthony Mason." I sigh and even if I dont want to ruin the moment...
"What does this mean?" I ask, making him pause on the wrap. "I guess a simple confession and a willingness and wanting to be with you is my meaning." he finishes with the wrap and watches me with soild green eyes. "What does this mean for you?" I feel the heat quickly rise to my face under his gaze. "I-I've imprinted on you which means... your my soul mate... and I think" I try to remember back in the forest when we were talking. "I think I started liking you way before my imprint... and now I'm sure." I prop myself up on my elbows. "Your sure what?" he leans closer, placing his arm on either side of me.
Usually when you think of a vampire, the first thing that comes to mind is ugly, bloodsucking, evil things. I know thats what you think because thats what I use to think. But even when I met Esme and her motherly-ness and Doctor Cullen fix me and finding out he was a human doctor period, it shows there's good in the world, alive or not. Edward, and his family, risked their life to save someone, to save me, who wanted to rip them apart. Ma would be amazed and proud of me having this ephanie...
"I'm sure that I love you." I mentally pat myself on the back for getting through that without stuttering even though my heart rate is jacked and my face is practically on fire. Edward seems pretty happy with me saying it and gives me a short sweet kiss. "So thats that. Your mines and I yours in turn." Simply said. I nod and smile. "That sounds pretty good bat boy."
"Edward, if Jacob is all well and done, do you boys mind joining us down here?" me and Edward look at his room door, then to each other. "Guess we better head down." I nod as he helps me off the bed. I trail silently behind Edward, my hand in his as the mumurs get louder and louder.
"Jacob!" Seth jumps me and I stumble back alittle, sliping my hand from Eddies to hold up Seth. "I thought you were dead!" Seth grips me tighter. "N-No faith?" I wheeze, looking at the relieved faces of my tribe, the Cullen family and my dad. "Well not dead dead, but well you know what I mean!" Seth pulls away, his shortness and his smile making him look like a kid, which in turn, makes me laugh. "Dont worry kiddo, it'll take a lot more then two jarheaded dummies to get rid of me." I ruffle his hair and he doesnt complain like ususal, he just nods. "Well we're all glad to hear that Jacob." I turn to Carlisle, whose smile is more then family welcoming. "Really Carlisle, call me Jake. I mean after all this" I wave to my bandaged torso. "I think we're on friendly terms."
"More like family terms." Emmett snickers in the corner with Jasper. "Is that right Jacob?" my eyes drift from the two dummy Cullens to my dad. "Yep. I... I've imprinted on Edward and I love him and... thats about that." I sigh, letting my shoulders hunch. 'Man oh man... dad will probably disown me..' Edward slips to my side and curls his hand over my waist, pulling me to his side. "He wont. He's really happy your blushing with someone, but mainly.." Edwards soft whispers trail off as dad speaks up again. "As long as your happy." I look at dad's honest face. "R-Really?" Everyone around me and Edward nods and mumbles. "But before we can get all mushy, Jake, we got somethin to ask you." I turn to Sam. My heart races in fear as I gulp. "Y...yeah?"
'Oh man...'
"We want you to be Alpha during this little battle." I stare in shock. "W-What?" I ask, dumbfounded. "We need someone with your smarts, strength, leadership and" a sad look passes though his brown eyes. "your expirence." I stiffen at the meaning. "Though your temper... well we'll see." he quickly continues and I nod. "Yes Sam!" he nods in turn with a slight smile. "We'll start training today." Carlisle nods with Sam and Dad. "You should be well in a couple of mintues, the healing speed is faster then it was." I smile as he turns from me to Sam. "And if there's anything we can do, let me know." Sam gives him the most politess smile I've ever seen on him. "Thank you very much Carl." Sam turns to me. "You ready?"
"Hell yeah!" Seth high fives Quil and Sam laughs. "Lets get goin." I unoticely pull out of Edwards grasp and go to run out with Sam and the others but-
"Whoa!" I yelp as I suddenly get spun around only to meet Edwards face, only inches away from mine. "See ya later." I feel my face heat up as he gives me a sweet, chaste kiss. "S...see ya.." I mumble as he breaks the kiss. I try my best(And fail) not to stubble out the Cullen house.
EPOV
'He's adorable.' I stand straight, put my hands in my jean pockets and sigh as smile tugs at the corners of my lips... by 'smile' I mean Alice. "Aww so sweet! Eddy all soft and mushy with the wolf boy!" she continues to tugg painfully at my mouth. "Get owff!" I move back, sucessfully getting her fingers out of my mouth. "Gross!" she whines, wiping her hands on her tiny skirt. "Why are you-never mind."
'Wonder if Seth is okay...' I snap my head to Jasper in shock. He's looking out the window, still leaning next to Emmett then he quickly looks at me. I smirk and his amber eyes go wide then they narrow. A sudden feeling of pain pounds in my head. "Owww!" I hiss softly, not daring to look at his smug smirk. "Hey! I asked what are we gunna do!?" Roslie huff in annoynce. 'Probably at getting ignored.'
"Well our first fellow fighters should be comin right ab-"
"Hey watch where your steppin Mutt!"
"Mutt?! Why you glossy looking leech! I'd outta-!"
I laugh at Jakes very small temper. "Here right about now!" we all rush outside before Jacob gets too angry. "Just cause your tall dont mean I wont rip you apart!" Jacob growls at one of the three tall, amazon looking women on our yard as Seth and Quil hold him back and Sam just shakes his head. "You better keep your mouth shut little puppy, or your gunna be my next pair of shoes in a couple!"
"Ladies please!" Carlisle breaks up the agrument. "Carl, you shouldnt keep an unfriendly monster in your yard." another tall carmel vampire woman hisses. "See, Jacob isnt-!"
"I'll show you monster you freakin-!" Embry now shows up and drags Jacob away. I ignore the urge to run after Jake and stick by his side and look back at the womens coven and try to understand who they are. The tallest looks at Carlisle and smiles. "My Carl! Oh how its good to see you!" she grabs Carlisle and picks him up in a huge bear hug. 'E-Equal strenght! Pain... being felt! Ow!'
"Same here Zafrina!" he wheezes as she puts him down. "N-Nice to see you both as well Senna and Kachiri." the dark brown and black hair, short fur shirted and shorted women smile and wave from behind Zafrina. "Good to see you!"
"Its been far too long." Carlisle, fully composed, smiles. "Indeed. So what brings you to Forks?" Zafrina smiles brightly, standing strong and tall. "We came to help of course! We heard all about that bitch Isabella tryin to raid here n I dont think I like that, so me and the girls came to help." Esme slides up to Carlisle sides. "Thats thoughtful Zafrina!" said amazonian turns her sights on Esme. "Wow! Ezzy you havent changed!"
"Didnt think I would." they laugh and I notice Jasper's gone. I close my eyes and listen closely.
"J-Jasper! Cut it..Nhh!"
"I think we're allowed to have our fun. We've been hidden far longer then Jake and Eddy. Dont you think we deserve some time to ourselves too, Seth~?"
"B-but-! Mnh! Jaz!"
My eyes snap open and I clamp my hand over my mouth. 'Oh my fucking bejeezus!' I look at Alice. 'I wonder where Quil is... probably training.' I shake my head. 'Have I been the only one out of the wolf loop here?!' Alice gasps and quickly runs in the house. I decied to follow her, needing an explaination.
"Alice!" I hiss as she... smiles? on the sofa. "What the hell is going on with you and Quil?!" she shrugs. "I'm his imprint and Jasper's Seth's." she giggles. "This is going to be amazing!" I tilt my head. "What are you talking about? Did you have a vision?" she nods but doesnt say anything. "Well? Spit it out!" she shakes her head. I try to read her mind but she doesnt give me anything. I groan. "We're gunna be having a very speical person fighting behind us." I look at her confusingly. "What are you talking about?"
"You'll see." she gets up and happily skips to the door. "If you tell anyone before I do, I'll kill you!" her evil eyes turn back to happy brown bubbles as she hums and heads back outside. "What the hell is going on?!" I stomp my feet and head outside too.
Two Hours Later
The amazonian women turn out to be old friends of Carlisle and their own Amazon Vampire Coven. Jasper's old friends as well, the American Nomads, Pete and his mate Charlotte with Mary and Randell, come along and decied to help us too. Alice says that the Denali Coven should be arriving in a couple of days and the Egyptian Coven by tomarrow. Not being rude, and not bothering any of our other guests(Surprisingly due to this afternoon and the fact that the Nomads drink blood) I invited Sam, Jake, Quil, Embry, Seth, his sister Leah and Jared(Not Paul though...I was told he didnt react to coolly to me and Jacob~)
"The Denali Coven?" Sam questions in between Leah and Embry at the end of the long dinner table. "Familiar Sam?" Zanfrina gulps down her deer meat. "Hey wasnt the Irina chick in there?" Alice chimes. "Yes. I dont think she'd be happy with us down here in Forks." Jacob's father agrees. I see a look of realization pass Carlisle's face. "Becuase of her mate, Laurent?" I shake my head, eating a piece of my elk meat. He cant find his car keys in the morning but he can remember that. "What happened to Ler-ant?" Seth sounds out the name, sitting between Jasper and me. I see a small smile tug at Jaspers lips.
"Laurent was... well, he tried to take Embry's grandfather and the Tribe killed him." Seth makes a pained face and Embry flinches as Sam continues. "So yeah, Irina wouldn't be too happy." Jacob nods from between me and Alice. "Maybe she'll got over it." Quil snorts from between Alice and Jared. "Victora sure didnt." Jared smirks, trading looks with Pete across the table and we all laugh. "We will see when the time comes, for now I thank those who are here." Carlisle raises his glass. "Here here!" Pete and Charlotte cheer, with Mary and Randell raising their glasses. "Here here!" Zafrina, Senna and Kachiri cheer raising their bottles. "Here, here!" we cheer along with the wolves raising our glasses
And for the rest of the night, we forget about the army of Imps and probably vampires against us thats coming in a month, relaxing, laughing and, for the first time in a long time, breaking the bounds of wolf and vampire.
