Chapter 9:

Legends

The sounds of crackling thunder was all I needed to hear to know that Noah had intercepted Clark. I came running through the woods and leaped into view underneath the silver moonlight. As I snarled at them, the two vampires stopped fighting to glance at me. Without hesitation I leaped a crossed the yard and landed on Clark… the vampire who brought the Volturi here. I wanted to do nothing other than rip him apart, how dare he bring such danger here. He snarled from underneath me as he tried to kick me off of him. After a few seconds I realized I had been slamming his head into the ground so hard that there was now a deep hole.

Clark reached up and grabbed me by my hair, then flung me off of him. I rolled over off the dirt in time to see Noah kick him back down into the ground. I watched anxiously as he stomped his head into the dirt. There was no mercy for this vampire like there had been before; Because of him the Volturi will be here looking for me. They would either want me for my special abilities or to get the revenge needed for killing one of their guards. Noah reached down and grabbed his head while still standing on his chest.

The loud crunching noise of his head being ripped clean off his neck was all I needed to hear to quench the thirst of revenge. I ran over to Noah who was still ripping Clark limb from limb and began to set him on fire. The thick smoke began to filter out into the night sky, covering the moon light and stars.

"What the fuck happened out there? Where is Boian?" Noah said grabbing my arm. I began to stutter my words trying to explain what just happened. I couldn't get much out before the loud howl sounded through the air again. Noah looked at me in shock as I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house.

"Where's Jodi? is she ok?" I asked in full force panic mode.

"She's in the bedroom upstairs hiding in your closet." He said but before he could finish I already began running upstairs to get her. I should have entered the closet in a different way because busting the door down scared the living hell out of her. I found her in the corner wearing my Jimmy Choo heels shaking in tears. I didn't explain myself; I just picked her up and flew downstairs.

"You're ok Jodi, you're fine!" I said trying to calm her down. I kept talking to her as she rocked back and forth, completely ignoring Noah as he asked me questions in the background.

"RENA WHAT IS GOING ON!" he screamed causing Jodi and myself to jump. Jodi finally stopped crying and I sat on the couch opposite from her. Noah sat down as well and stared at me waiting for me to answer him.

"I…Killed a Volturi Guard…" was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

"WHAT! HOW! WHEN!" Noah screamed while no longer sitting down.

"Noah sit down… please. I'm going to try and best explain everything." I said. Noah sat back down but at the edge of the seat.

I explained everything that happened including the Volturi coming, and how we saved ourselves. Trying to explain that Boian was a werewolf was the hardest part. Noah understood but Jodi was a little confused on the difference between Seth's wolf, and Boian's. Noah was finally at an understanding on how he was so strong but was livid at the fact that he lied to us about his authority.

"Rena, he didn't try to attack you? Legends always said that they lose control in werewolf form."

"I didn't give him the chance to… I made a run for it as soon as he killed Julius. He was huge, there was no way I would have survived that fight, even with my abilities." Noah looked away now… then something hit him.

"Rena, what if he sniffed you out, remember he said that they have the ability to disguise their scent. What if he comes to finish you off, then us? We wont see him coming!" he said as he stood up.

"To top it off what if he doesn't come after us? The Volturi will know that they are missing three guards and they will come looking for us. It wont take long for them to use a tracker to find their remains. And they probably have a psychic on their side by now…" he stopped his worried words and pulled out his phone.

"I'm calling Carlisle!" he said. I zoomed over to him and smacked the phone out of his hand.

"NO! We will not get him and his family involved in something that has nothing to do with them. The Volturi won't come looking for us, if anything they will continue looking for Boian." I said.

"Then we need to get Boian off this island then!" Jodi said.

"It's not that simple Jodi, the Volturi seem to be on track to coming here anyway. They know about the situation in Vancouver."

"So what's your plan?" Noah said.

"We stop whoever it is in Vancouver before they come here. We help the Volturi out so that we are not on their bad side. They wont know I killed one of their guards, because they'll think it was Boian. Remember Vampires abilities are hazy when it comes to werewolves. That's the one thing I did remember from what little Seth and Carlisle told me about."

"So your saying that even if they bring a mind reader they are going to only see bits and pieces of what happened." Jodi said.

"im not one hundred percent sure that's what will happen, but if they come to the grounds where they were killed, it will be a hazy situation. They wont see me."

"Rena, but what happens when they come to Vancouver after we rectify the situation? IF we even rectify it." Noah asked.

"I'll do what I can to take down the situation then leave before they get there." I thought I was on to something good until I saw Noah's face.

"Rena, how will we know when they will arrive? What if they come in the middle of the fight? And you have to also take into consideration that this might be a huge force behind the killings in Vancouver… what if we're out numbered? This plan isn't looking so great." I felt a lump rise in my throat and my stomach turned. He was right. No matter which way we looked at it, it was a lose, lose situation. I sat down and began thinking about everything that just happened. I was so in shock that when the phone began to ring I almost didn't answer it.

"Rena...your phone is ringing…" Jodi said.

I snapped back out of it and picked the phone up. I was so surprised to see it was Seth who was calling me. my face must have lit up because Jodi smiled with me

"Seth? Hello? Baby I mi…." when a females voice cut me off I had an instant flash back to when Natalia kidnapped Jodi. my stomach turned into knots and I slowly stood up.

"Hello, Rena?" the high pitched happy voice came in again.

"Who is this?" I asked in a stern voice.

"Oh, you're angry… I'm sorry I should have introduced myself first. My name is Alice… Alice Cullen." She said. Cullen… this was the mind reader from Carlisle's coven!

"Is Seth ok!" I asked worried.

"oh he's fine! he left me the phone and told me to call you. He's on his way to tell the rest of the pack the plan." She said as if I knew what she was talking about.

"Plan?" I asked.

"Yes… the plan I just seen you make. The one which will involve Seth and a certain group of vampire royalty." It included Seth? I guess he would be back soon! I suddenly became more excited about this until I remembered that the plan wont work.

"But we know the plan wont work" I said.

"You need to be more optimistic! You and I are going to meet at a restaurant in the city. I'll explain then… but um. Try and hurry with what ever it is you will be doing before hand." She said sounding happy to meet me.

"I don't understand" I said

"well your going to go and do something beforehand that will make you late, whatever it is I cant see… its all hazy…" she said. Hazy… that can only mean I will be seeing Boian then…

"I'll send you a text with the address on where to meet me tomorrow! Talk to you soon bye Rena!" she hung up the phone before I could say goodbye. Noah and Jodi sat patiently waiting for an explanation on what happened.

"That was Alice Cullen." I said… "The plan, has a large chance of working…"

"How?" Noah asked.

"She said she wants to meet tomorrow and she'll better explain it. Seth will be part of it as well…"

"Where are you going to meet with her at?" Jodi asked.

"I'm not sure… she said she'll text me tomorrow with the address." I was too excited for the fact that this plan might work out that I barely even answered their questions.

Several hours passed and Noah was walking back and forth at the windows checking to see if a massive wolf would attack. I sat on the roof and kept a lookout; I saw nothing. At one point a bunch of birds flew out of some trees a few miles out which might have been Boian attacking an animal, but from what I was seeing, it didn't seem like he was coming. As the skies lightened up I received a text message from an unknown number.

"1122 Denman St, Vancouver. Be there by 1pm. – Alice"

There didn't seem to be any clouds out today so I hoped this place was an inside restaurant. I stood up and watched the sun rise slowly above the trees. it was such a beautiful sight in the morning to watch the forrest go from pitch black to bright and exposed. Just as the sunlight hit my skin and the shards of diamonds begin to sparkle in the morning sky, a howl sounded from somewhere on the island. The howl sounded like it was painful and went from beast like to almost human. As if it were a man screaming. I knew it had to be Boian. Before I could make it down the stairs to talk to Noah, he greeted me at the entrance to the balcony.

"Did you hear that?" Noah said.

"Yes. I think it was Boian. He might be back to normal now."

"Your going to try and find him aren't you?" Noah asked.

"I have to. I need an explanation from him…" I said truthfully.

"Well just be careful. He might be unpredictable." Noah said.

"I don't think so… if anything I'll hold him still using my powers… in human form he isn't immune to us." I reminded him.

The sun was blaring on us now and the shards of diamonds shone all around us and the Forrest. Jodi walked up to the roof to find us and stopped in her tracks. Her face almost made me laugh for she's never seen us in the sunlight before and she looked like she seen god or something.

"Wow…. You guys…. Are…. Beautiful" she managed to get out as she squinted her eyes.

"Can… I …. Touch you?" she said in all seriousness. Noah and I began laughing and shook our heads. We hadn't realized how cold it was until we saw the steam from her breath in the air.

"No, Jodi, you cant. Lets get you back to bed, its cold out and You need your sleep." I said as I pulled her back downstairs. She was still marveled by the sparkling and didn't speak much until we got downstairs. I placed her on the bed and tucked her in.

"Yeah… your right… sleep would be good right now…." and next thing I knew she was out; Drooling on my silk pillows. I really hate that she is involved in this and I hate it even more that she is volunteering to put herself even more into it. Even though it would be a great ploy to get behind the scenes to shut down whatever is going on in Vancouver, it still is way too risky. I would definitely need to meet with Alice and figure out how she feels this will work. I walked over to the bathroom and ran the shower. As I let the water heat up I sent her a text message.

"It's pretty bright out, how am I going to move from my car to the restaurant?" I hit send and put the phone down. As I began to get undressed she replied with…

"Just be there by one and you'll be fine." maybe it would rain? I finished undressing and got into the shower.

I didn't really know where I was going when I walked out the back door, but something told me he'd be close. I brought some clothes for him to wear for the ones he had on yesterday were probably torn apart. How would I know where he would be? Its not like I could smell him out. One day he'd smell like a human, the next like pine trees. The only way I would find him is to look for signs of large animal prints or something like fur from his coat. Just needed a sign.

A sign is what I asked for; a sign is what I got. There, not ten feet from where I landed after leaping a crossed the river bank was a dead dear. The entire insides of the animal were torn out and probably eaten. I walked over to it and sniffed the air; nothing but blood and trees was all I could smell. I looked down on the ground and saw the massive blood stained paw prints. I followed them as they went back towards the direction of the water fall. I didn't realize how nervous I had become to see him until I realized that everything around me had begun to shake along with my hands.

I then smelled one of his familiar human scents coming from the water. I followed the bloody paw prints which soon turned into footprints and disappeared into the water. I glanced up and saw him there, standing underneath the water fall, washing the blood off of his naked body off. His long black hair was dangling in his face as the water landed on his head. The freezing cold water didn't seem to even faze him as it hit him. In fact, the water was steaming off his skin. The sun broke through the trees and glistened on his muscles. As he turned and faced me I couldn't help but stare at the full glory that was his naked body.

"Rena…" he said startled. I snapped back into focus and watched him as he walked towards the water's edge.

"Stop walking." I said in a stern voice. I couldn't trust that he wouldn't attack me.

"Rena, its still me… I wont hurt you. If I wanted to I would have yesterday… but I didn't. I was only circling the house to make sure no one else would come. You have to believe me…" he said in a begging type voice. His accent was so strong yet his words were always clear.

"Why did you lie? Why didn't you tell us that The Volturi were after you for killing one of their gaurds." I asked.

"Because if I did tell you Rena you would have never agreed to help me. you have to understand my bond and connection with my sister. You and your brother are the only ones who can help me! Rena please understand, that I have grown close to you and your brother. You have been more helpful to me then anyone I have ever met. I mean you no harm."

"He's telling you the truth… he isn't using his mind shield right now, I can feel all of his emotions." Noah said as he came out from behind a tree. "I'm sorry for following you Rena however I couldn't let you come see him alone without actually knowing you'd be ok." He said. I nodded my head as if to thank him and looked back at Boian.

"Why did you kill one of their guards?" I asked changing the subject.

"It wasn't one of their guards that I killed Rena. It was one of the Volturi leaders…" his words came out of his mouth and slapped me across the face.

"A Volturi leader? It's no wonder why they are after you." Noah said.

"His name was Caius. He did not like my kind and was hunting us into near extinction. Like your kind, when were fresh and newborn, we are at our strongest. I had just become a werewolf when he crossed my path. I unlike others of my kind was more in control of the beast, but that night it didn't seem to matter. There, he came and tried to kill me. He was very strong but I was stronger, I made sure to take all of his body parts back to Italy and left them burning in front of their castle. It was my foolish way of saying I was not the one to mess with. Ever since then, they have been after me, looking to kill me." If he could take the Volturi down, we could possibly still use him for help. Noah looked at me and nodded his head in agreement.

"Tell us more about your kind Boian. If we are to trust you and continue to help you, we need to know exactly how… you work" Noah said. Boian turned to face him and nodded his head. Noah and I sat and listened to his story while he got changed.

"Like your kind, a man or woman can only become a werewolf by being bitten. We have venom in our fangs that causes the transformation. It is also highly lethal towards vampires. A shape shifting wolf, like your boyfriends kind, can do large amounts of damage but unless they set the vampire to fire, it will remain able to put itself back together. When we tear a vampire limb from limb, our venom acts similar to the way acid would on concrete. The rock like flesh will be melted and disintegrate right before your eyes. Leaving a vampire virtually impossible to reassemble itself. Also vampires abilities are sometimes rendered useless against us. Mind readers cant read our thoughts in wolf form. Shields have a hard time blocking us, trackers can only track us in human form so for that night of being a wolf it can totally through a tracker off. Also a psychic cant see us. They can see shapes and hear sounds but as far as knowing what we are or what's around us, they are almost blind."

"What about weaknesses? Is it true about silver?" Noah asked.

"No actually the opposite. Silver objects make us stronger, hence the silver liquid eyes… gold is actually what can kill us. When the three guards attacked us, I only smelled gold on one of them, that's how I knew we could take them Rena. They were foolish and came unprepared, that's what leads me to believe they might not have been there for me."

"You think they came looking for me? to see if what Clark said was true?" I asked.

"Exactly." He replied.

"What about your transformation and your abnormal strength" Noah said.

"Like the myths, I can only be in wolf form in the site of a full moon. That is when I am strongest. The strengths I posses in human form come from the venom and are to protect me during the 29 days where the moon is no longer full. If a vampire knows who is a werewolf they can find you during the day and easily ambush you. The strengths and extra abilities are helpful for that."

"Now that I am exposed and the Volturi are coming, what is it you plan to do Boian? Will you stay and fight Or will you run away and leave us to deal with the mess you brought upon us." I asked.

"I've said it before Rena, you help me, I help you. We shall fight this out together." He said looking me in the eye. I looked up at Noah who nodded his head again as if to say he spoke the truth.

"Good… because we have a plan that might just work"
