Ok still unsure how many more chapters there are going to be…anyway, things gonna go bat shit this chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 11: Of Gods and Men
Jacob POV
"We're here." The pilot said.
"No shit…" Garrett mumbled under his breath. The jet opened up and we were suddenly in a car, heading into the city.
"You ready?" Tanya asked curiously. I nodded.
"As ready as I'll ever be." When we arrived at the building, Leah walked out the front to greet us. The first thing I noticed was that the piercings were gone…and she seemed…different somehow.
"Hurry up!" Tanya snapped, ushering me out of the car. I let Garrett out then got out myself. We walked up to the revolving doors and Leah greeted us.
"To the top floor…you will get paid."
"Ya ya…" Tanya said, pushing me through the revolving door. The three of us walked up to the elevator and waited until it came down and opened. We got in and headed to the top.
Alice's POV
"Hurry up!" I snap, grabbing Jane's hand and yanking her out of the car. We ran up to the door, were a woman stood, waiting for us.
"Irene, Kate…" she stopped and stared at us in confusion.
"Shit" I thought to myself. She stared and I and Jane both tensed, ready for a fight.
"Ya…it's us." Jane said. The woman grabbed her head.
"Ya…it must be…sorry this memory of mine…never mind, top floor." We both nodded and ran inside. One Elevator was already going up and already almost to the top so we ran to the second one, dashed inside. And headed to the top.
Felix POV
"We're here."
"Thanks' Mickey." We had arrived in New York. I got out of my plane, Riley, still sucking on a cup full of blood, riding piggyback on my back.
"Well Riley, you ready to go?"
"Is…is it safe for us to go? I mean I don't…"
"Don't worry…if you keep drinking the blood you should be able to control…" I frowned and turned. A plane was landing.
"Who the hell…" I owned this airstrip privately…
Then I remembered, my people who worked here told me they had been paid a lot of money from some anonymous person to use the airstrip. 3 planes were going to land, along with one other one that was added at the last second.
3 planes….
3 targets.
Everything Alice said to me clicked into my brain.
"Ah, I see, clever."
"Felix?"
"Stay here little one, I have to go save some werewolves." I ran out to where the plane would land, I would have to time this perfectly. The plane started coming down, I dug my heels into the concrete. When the plane was about to hit me, I would have to clap my hands into it and literally catch the plane. It wasn't a large plane, so I knew with my vampire strength I would be able to do it, but the tricky part would be timing. If I didn't clamp my hands on it perfectly, then it would run right over me…and I mean I'm catching a jet...
It hit the concrete and started making a loud screeching sound.
"COME ON!" I roared. It rushed at me, I could see the pilot looking totally shocked and trying to slow down the plane. The front rushed at me and i knew I wouldn't be able to do it.
Then I got an idea at the last second. I ducked and threw my arms out. My arms busted right through the landing gear. The front of the plane crashed down into the concrete and the loudest screeching noise filled the air. Sparks flew from the crashed plane and it came to a sudden halt.
The time to strike presented itself. I ran at the plane at full speed. The plane door exploded outwards and I saw the first vampire. I rammed into her and we went right through the plane. It was a woman with black hair and tight leather clothes.
"Name?"
"What?" She said, shell shocked.
"Name."
"Carmen. Why?"
"I like to know the name of the person I'm about to kill." I ripped her head off, ripped off the rest of the limbs, and pulled out a match and she burst into flames. I turned, the other one, a man. Stood watching curiously.
"My, you don't like to wait do you?"
"Not my style friend. Name?"
"Eleazar." He looked very old, for a vampire I mean, about 70.
"Well...you seem old."
"I was alive when King Arthur was just a boy."
"Oh is that all? Arthur was a good friend, wonderful king." Eleazar just smiled.
"Well then, shall we dance?" He rushed forward and I did as well.
Jacob's POV
We reached the top, I took a very deep breath, this was it. The door opened and we all stepped out, the smell hit me almost immediately, the smell of decomposing bodies. The heads of hundreds of people hung from the ceiling, like Christmas ornaments. It was disgusting and fascinating all at the same time.
"Come in." a deep voice said. an involuntary shiver ran through my body, I hadn't heard that voice in so long…well I did on the phone, which felt like years ago, but hearing it in person was even more chilling. We walked around, Sam sat in a chair melded from random looking pieces of metal. He was in a pair of long black sweat pants, looking like some kind of god of death. Next to him, on his right, sat three skulls.
One I couldn't recognize because it was old and crumbly looking, no skin or anything, just bone. The second, was another I didn't recognize, old and crumbly like the other. The third…the third was painful to look at. Embry's head, it was already a little decomposed but I could see it was him. I suddenly felt pain in my heart, I remember, before Seth, that me and Embry had been in a secret relationship. I remember feeling his naked body pressed against mine, the nights we spent together. But then we broke up…I can't remember why…oh yes I do. He shifted, and imprinted on another man. I was heartbroken for weeks…but then I shifted and Seth came into my life…I had all but forgotten Embry.
I never told Seth about him…mostly because I didn't want Seth to know that Embry was my first…but it didn't matter now, it was a distant memory, another time, another life.
"My Jacob...you look well."
"Was well Sam, then you had to pop up."
"Indeed, I do have a habit of…" he stopped talking and looked to his right for a second, like he was listening to someone, then turned back to us.
"Anyway…"
"Look, we don't give a shit about all of this, pay us then we can go and you can do whatever the hell you want." He glared at the speaker, Garrett, in anger but nodded and kicked a case toward them.
"It's all in there, now take it and get the fuck out." Garrett picked it up and turned.
"Come on Tanya."
"Well it's been fun wolf…" She patted my arm.
"Good luck." They headed for the elevator.
"So Jake…how's that ass you've been tapping?"
"No business of yours." I replied, pulling out the sword, still wicked sharp after all this time. He stared in surprise, and then started laughing out loud, sounded madder and madder.
"Well then! This will be fun!"
"JAKE!" a voice cried. I turned in surprise; Garrett and Tanya were both stuck, looking completely shocked. Alice and Jane stood, looking pissed.
"If you distract them, ill pay you double what I just gave you!" Sam yelled, pulling out the clans sword, dried blood was still on the sword.
I saw Garrett shrug, and toss the case on a couch and slap Alice. They started fighting but I couldn't pay attention, Sam was coming right at me. He raised the sword and swung it down. I raised my own and the blades slammed into each other, the sound loud and surprising. It took all my strength to hold him back. He pulled back and I slashed out, the sword slicing, just barely, his chest. Blood trickled down and he smirked wildly.
"Perfect."
Then we danced.
His sword came out at me with a flurry of hits, it was impossible to predict. He would attack vertically then suddenly stab at me. I wasn't getting the chance to fight back; it was taking everything I had not to get stabbed. He swung at my forehead but I didn't move in time. I felt it slash open the skin above my eye like butter. I staggered back and I felt the blood pour down over my eye, forcing it closed. I wiped at it but more simply poured down, I was basically blind in my left eye now, at least until it healed.
"Can't see Jake? Your idiotic father was the same way."
"Go to hell!" I snarled.
"You first." He chuckled, rushing forward. I dodged and my sword slashed, hard, across his stomach.
"Ah!" he cried out. His hand going across his stomach, which was pouring blood.
"Son of a bitch." I turned, too late.
The sword went straight into my side.
"Jake!" Alice screamed. I gasped as blood dribbled out of my mouth.
"I win." Sam said, seeming almost shocked. I fell on my back, the sword falling out of me as blood started to pour out, my side, hell my whole body, burned like it was on fire.
"I WIN, I WIN!" he cackled. He looked down.
"Let's finish this Jacob Black." He lifted up the sword and placed the tip right on my forehead; blood dribbled down the blade and went over my forehead.
I had lost, Seth…Seth.
My Seth…I'm sorry. I only let myself think of Seth, I wanted him to be my last thought on this earth, my last, beautiful thought.
"Time to die Black." He chuckled.
A shot gun being pumped suddenly filled the air.
Sam suddenly looked up, total and complete shock on his face.
"F-fuck." He said, the sword clattered from his hands.
"Get away from my Jacob." Seth snarled. He fired, large, bloody hole appeared in Sam's chest and he flew onto his back.
Seth ran to my side.
"Jake…Jake!" Seth started crying.
"S-sorry! I-i-I was late…I-I…."
"Baby, baby…."I coughed up a little blood but didn't stop staring.
"It's ok…It's ok…I should be fine…just need time to heal." I said. it was a lie…I wasn't exactly sure if I would make it or not.
"Sorry Jacob." Leah suddenly said. I was surprised to see her.
"It's fine…I'm glad you got Seth…at least that's what I'm assuming happened."
"It is."
We all looked up. Sam, somehow he was up and charging.
"SON OF A BITCH! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE JUST KILLED YOU TOO." Seth snarled and fired again. The shots slammed into Sam's arm and he cried out and slowed just a little.
"S-shit!" Seth said. pulling out a duffle bag and started trying to reload.
Too slow.
"NO SAM!" Leah snarled. She ran forward and slammed into him.
"Not anymore! Not anymore! I am free god dammit! Jacob! I want to join your pack!"
"You can join!" I screamed. I physically saw it, the change hit her like a tidal wave. Her shoulders no longer scrunched like she was holding up the world.
She actually smiled.
"Come on love, lets go together." She slammed her fist into Sam's sword wound and he staggered back, screaming in pain.
"DO YOU FEEL THAT SAM! THAT'S EVERYTHING YOU'VE PUT ME THROUGH!" she started laughing, she was free.
The reached the edge of the tower, on the outside with the metal gate. She slammed her fist into the buck shot wounds again and again, Sam completely paralyzed in pain. She stopped and he clung too the gate, actually crying. She turned and walked over to us. I just noticed that Tanya and Garrett were subdued by Jane and Alice. She squeezed my hand and hugged Seth.
"Goodbye Seth." She looked at me.
"Looks like you get to do it after all."
"Leah?" Seth said, confusion washing over his face.
"What…"
"This is where we say goodbye Seth."
"N-no! What? You don't…"
"Love...Sam is my imprint…killing him is killing a part of me…it's ok love…" she hugged Seth
"You were the best little brother I could ever have." Tears streaked down her cheeks and he cried as well.
"No…No…No!" he sobbed so violently.
"I love you so much." She said.
"I command you to stop this and kill them!" Sam roared. She turned, I could see her freedom.
"You don't control me Sam!" She started laughing, the sound was actual joy.
"Not anymore! He does!" she turned to me.
"Jacob…I am a follower…its too hardwired into my brain…please…do this for me." Seth stared.
"J-Jake…"
"I'm sorry Seth…I made a promise to Leah…I would be the one to kill her." Alice ran over, as if reading my mind, and helped me up, me leaning heavily on her.
"Leah…I give you one final order…destroy Sam." She smiled, pure joy.
"I will…goodbye." She turned, her independence was finally hers.
"I control my destiny...come Sam, lets enter hell together." She exploded into a giant wolf and charged.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Sam snarled, he tried to move, but he was too hurt to do so. Leah slammed into him, her massive weight and body sending her and Sam right through the protective metal wall and sending them hurtling towards the earth.
That was the tragic and redeeming end, of Sam Uley and Leah Clearwater.
I have thought about this for many years and I like to think that, in her final moments. She saw her life again, the good parts that her bad memory made her forget, that in her final moments she remember the good in her life.
That she was finally happy.
