We found a note pinned to a tree. It said: Kids, bring your mother to this address. An address followed the message. I was still wary of the person we'd met just yesterday, but what choice did we have? We couldn't go back to the vampires now, they would definately kill mom. Not to mention what they might do to us. No, we had to keep going. Even though I still had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Mom had fallen asleep after we'd switched her to James' back. We'd explained about the vampires and told her we were taking her to a friend's place. I think she understood. Poor mom. The vampires had acted so friendly toward her. It must be like losing a whole group of friends at once. But they weren't friends, I reminded myself. They were killers. She would be safer here.
Luckily, Ashley had thought quickly enough to grab our bag of clothes. We could at least arrive with our dignity intact. We followed the instructions and eventually arrived at a small house on the outskirts of the city.
"That's supposed to be big enough for all of us?" James asked, confused.
"Maybe we have the wrong place." Ashley said.
"Let's make sure before we leave." I told them. I walked to the door and knocked.
We heard a voice from inside. "Come in kids. I've been expecting you." Then, "I guess you found the note. Take your mother upstairs then come back down. I have things to discuss with you. Your mom can use the room on the right." James and Brian carried her upstairs and took her to the room. When they came back the boy spoke again.
"Now that you'll all be living here, there are a few rules to discuss. But first, let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Jacob Black. I am a wolf, as you know, but not just any wolf. You see, I ran with the main pack for a few years but I grew tired of them. So, I broke away and was able to form my own small pack with my closest friends."
"How could you break away from the main pack?" Renee asked.
"I was meant to be a pack leader. But at first, I didn't want all the responsibility. Once I grew tired of my old pack, my leader genes sort of kicked in to give me an extra boost. This brings me to rule number one: As long as you live with me, we are one pack. I am the alpha."
I immediately felt a growl forming in the back of my throat. My brothers and sisters however seemed okay with this rule, so I forced the growl down. It would be okay, I told myself.
"Now." Jacob went on. "There will be more rules as problems arise, but this is the main one. I am the Alpha. You guys can stay here if you'd like, but remember, what I say goes. Understand?"
I glanced around at everyone. Something was wrong. I could feel it.
Edward's POV:
The kids had disappeared across the boarder to La Push with Bella on their backs. It wasn't until we got home that we'd learned what had happened. They actually thought I was going to kill her!
Alice had explained that she saw everything in a vision about five seconds before it happened. She told us where the kids were taking her and who they were going to be living with. The name sounded so familiar. If I could just remember where I'd heard it before. Wait. Hadn't Bella mentioned it before? Yes. Yes! When I had been speaking telepathically with her! She hadn't spoken fondly of him. He hadn't been a friend. That meant... OH FUCK!
