Chapter 12: The reserve.

Finally I got to the very limit of the Quileutes' reserve limit. It was still early in the morning and my entire "coven" went with Cullen kids on a hunting trip that would last for two days. I would have to stay alone for two days and I knew exactly what to do.

"I'm spending those days with the Quileutes." I had stated when Alice and Esme asked me. "That way I will not be so alone and I'll also retake my investigations of the territorial matter."

That was the reason, but behind of all that, was the reason of the fact that Lucifer told me the pack, at least Quil, Embry and Jacob, especially Jacob, were missing me a bit or a lot.

"Jacob has been thinking about you some time, lot if you consider it was some time each day." Lucifer had told me.

That reason was why I went straight to Black's house where I expected I would find Jacob and maybe the other two working on something.

Anyway, I was mistaken once again; not counting on the fact that werewolves, especially young ones, were a bit unpredictable.

Billy heard me arrive before I could have even stopped the engine of my motorbike.

"Hello." I said. "Sorry for not having call before arriving, I wanted it to be a surprise."

"Hello." He said. "How was the travel? Did you end with who did that on you?" He added pointing to my bandaged arm.

"Ah, yes." I said looking at them and checking they were a bit dirty now before looking back into his eyes. "He was the one I was hunting anyway, and he was really clever. Do you know what happens when you kill a vampire's mate or wife on this time?"

"Awful business." He said shaking his head. "Do you want to come in? Jacob is out, again."

"Have they been working hard lately?" I asked while parking the motorbike better.

"I thought your little spy-friend would have told you." He said. "The pack is getting into troubles cause there has been some poachers around."

"Hum… I don't like poachers either." I said. "They are merciless, and in my world, they make things harder for us that hunt legally."

"And do you also hunt humans?" He asked me.

"Just those who know our secret and are hard to get by beginners." I said. "But despite on what you can think, I hardly ever kill humans. And of course I would never drink fresh human blood."

"I've heard you drink human blood." He said staring at me with a serious face. "From a bag."

"Oh, this?" I asked taking a little one from my motorbike. "It's artificial created one. Looks real but it's not, it's somehow as cloned blood. This one is from my favourite, 0 whose original was a great actor with 137 IQ, handsome and sportive. Great for regeneration and as it's been genetically modified it's been eliminated the toxic things at the blood so it's… well, perfect somehow for what I can use it."

"So you don't drink human blood." Billy said.

"Technically no." I said smiling. "By the way, I brought some presents. Let me see… here." I said handing him a pair of wheelchair gloves well wrapped on a leather bag handmade by me so it had some bloodstains. "Sorry about the stains, I'm afraid I was wounded and wrapped it."

"The intention is what counts." He told me.

"I've also brought something for Quil and for Jacob." I said showing him two more packets wrapped on the same way than his. "And I brought something for all of you but I'm afraid I left it somewhere else."

"You shouldn't have done all this." Billy told me. "You are a…"

"I know, but in case that silly of Lucifer has not told you, we are friends, what means I have friends of both kinds yet not many human friends although I have had some."

"No humans?" He asked me.

"We… are not allowed… to let humans know about our kind secrets." I said choosing the words carefully. "If they knew and it was found out, I would have to kill them or turn them so they die or reborn as vampires."

"So you would kill your own friends if you were asked to." He said. "No. But I would give them the chance of turning; that's why I tend not to have much human friends."

"Ok, it's a good idea, yes." He said. "Comming in?"

"I will go to the beach instead." I said. "Walking freely is something I have had not much time lately."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Billy, I'm back home!" Jacob said while he went in their house an hour later my arrival. "Embry and Quil have suggested going today to a village so maybe we go there!"

"I think you'd better go and have a look at the village first." Billy told him.

"Is it anything interesting there?" He asked putting on a shirt to cover himself as he would not turn again until they reached back the reserve.

"There's a surprise I bet you like." He said. "Really."

"Ok, ok." He said. "I'll tell them to get to the beach first so as to make a race. Right?"

"Yes." Billy said. "Get fun on your little tip."

He said before Jacob left closing the door behind him.

"Jacob, mate." Quil said. "You are not going to believe it!"

"What's up now?" Jacob said.

"Ok, ok." He said. "I've just returned into my wolf form so as to go faster back home and get ready for leaving for Port Angels, and while I was on my wolf form I saw Seth's mind! He was training with Leah and guess what?!"

"Quil, please, not again the story of Seth's love, please." Jacob said. "Billy said we should go to the beach first and then leave."

"Oh!" Embry said smiling in fun. "Then we don't keep on, you'll see your own eyes. We should better take the car."

"Aye, I planned to do such." Jacob said a bit tired. "I really need a bit of walk around ordinary town people."

"Why haven't you got another shirt?" Quil asked. "That one looks like the one you've been using along all the week."

"And?" Jacob said smiling in irony. "Don't tell me you are going to also begin with that thing of the importance of changing robes each time we get wear."

"No, but a girl would not like that..." He muttered bothered as Jacob laugh of it.

Then when they reached the beach limit they didn't saw anything at first.

"Good, nothing here." Jacob said. "Do we leave?"

"I think I feel like a little walk at the beach." Embry said opening the door and taking the keys from the contact. "C'mon, it's long since we don't walk along the beach."

"We were going to walk around a town, remember?" Jacob said patting his forehead. "This is not a town, it's just the beach."

"C'mon, you lazy dude!" Quil said getting down the car too. "Let's make a race!"

Then he turned into his wolf form and began playing around until Embry also turned and so did Jacob after sighing a bit and take all the tops to put them at the vehicle after removing his pants and placing them at the strap at his leg like the other two.

To tell the truth, he got also fun by running from here to there with the rest and then he saw something about everyone's minds. His two friends were happy, Leah was bothered again and Seth was worried about seeing or not the girl he liked.

They ran a lot along all the beach and then they reached the place where a single tree that stood alone at the cliffs.

There was a little black rag of black fabric hanging from there.

"Hey, have you seen that?" Embry asked.

"I think we've found something." Quil said standing at his back legs and trying to reach it.

"I think it's a piece of cloth." Jacob said.

Then Embry managed to pull from it and it moved making him fall down while it hid at the branches.

"What the...?" A female voice said from inside the tree. "Can't a lady just rest on a peaceful place without being pulled from her hair or what?"

"Bella!" They said letting out some little noises so I put my head out of the leave curtain.

"Oh, hello." I said upside-down hanging at the tree branch I was resting at before. "Coming!"

Then I jumped down and held their heads while they rubbed them towards my head.

"I'm also happy to have return, mates." I said smiling while I rubbed their big heads.

That was before the bigger one managed to separate them from me and so he began rubbing his huge head against mine before licking a side of it once.

"Hey, Jacob!" I told him off. "Since when are you so cheeky, dude?!"

I could have sworn he was to laugh then and then he pushed me making me fall down.

"Yeah, I know, I know... Still a bit hurt." I said standing up again. "Anyway, how is you've found me?"

Then Embry pulled from his clothe strap and so I realised there was a trouser tied there.

"Oh, sure." I said turning around to give them my back. "Will do with me just not looking?"

"As long as you keep your promise and don't look..." Quil said cheerfully.

"Looks like ages since you left." Jacob said hugging me so hard I knew that if would have still been human he would have broke one of my ribs.

"Jacob, you are going to hurt me if you keep on using that much strong." I said.

"Hey, don't be so rough." Embry said pulling form me to also give me a little hug. "We also wanted to hug her."

"And she is not yours." Quil added.

"Hey, I'm not a toy." I said breaking free from them. "By the way, I'm going to need a different hug." I added showing them my hands. "From a wolf."

"I'll do!" Jacob said smiling and fast turning into a wolf while I closed my eyes so as not to see him naked.

Then he rubbed my face with his snout as telling me he was ready.

Then I opened my eyes and saw his face just a couple of millimetres from mine so I smiled while I caressed his neck hair softly making him make some pleasure throat noises.

"Ok, it's going to itch a bit." I said before burying my fact at his neck hair and hugging his neck a bit tight.

Little by little I began feeling how my wounds began healing alone due to the energy and abilities Jacob had and that I was now copying and absorbing from him by sharing them.

"I've still not got used to seeing a bloodsucker doing it." Embry said.

"What did we said about those terms?" I asked him. "Am I your enemy or what?"

"Sorry, I meant vampire." He said. "Anyway, this time it was not insulting, it was... 'Affective nickname', wasn't it?"

"Hum... then I suppose it was fine." I said checking most of my wounds were now healed. "Fine, thanks for the help Jacob." I said smiling and patting his huge head. "I don't know how I can pay you for it." I added smiling.

Then he licked my face and smiled on that weird way wolves used to do making Quil and Embry to also laugh; even I had to smile on his presumption.

"You were walking around here?" I asked them giving Jacob my back so he could change back into his guy form.

"No, we were going to Port Angels." Embry said. "Before Seth saw you and we saw you on his mind we tried to tell Jacob but Billy had told him to come here and have a look and..."

"I see." I said. "I just dropped by to say hello and have some chats for you to tell me about what I've missed."

Then I felt how I was pulled up by being held to Jacob's back.

"What the hell are you doing Jacob?" I asked him.

However he didn't allowed me to get down his back and moved on circles to then sniff my feet.

"I think he is trying to tell you that you can go at his back because he thinks your ankle is still wounded." Quil told me.

"It's not wounded." I said. "Drop me."

Then he began moving in circles again and fast.

"He is not going to drop you." Quil said. "Not even you kick him or pull from his ears."

"What about if I bite him?" I asked giving up and laying at his back on a softly way. "I could bite him or give him the 'death kiss', couldn't I?"

"He thinks a death kiss sounds passionate." Embry said after howling loud as roaring laugh.

"Oh, it is." I said nodding from his back. "I get sure it is, as it is the last kiss a person will get in this life. It kills the receiver." I said smiling evilly.

"He said he would love to get one of those and then tell you if they are so passionate." Embry said after Jacob said something with their tongue and making them laugh.

"I don't want to kill you, even if you are just a werewolf." I said hitting his neck strong but controlling my strength because I knew I would not hurt him much.

That made his head bounce a bit and he let out a sound of pair or bother.

"That hurts." Quil translated for me.

"Then stop saying nonsenses, the three of you, young men." I said pointing at them with my finger.

"By the way, how old are you?" Quil asked me then.

"Let's say I'm elder than anyone at your reserve." I said.

"I can't believe you are elder than Billy." Embry said. "You would be wrinkled and old and..."

"And I'm a vampire, remember?" I asked him. "I can live longer than any werewolf."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Are you done?" I asked the three laying at the car front looking to the sky while they were back the car getting wear.

"Nearly done." Quil said. "Jacob is still trying to find his shirt."

"Ah, I nearly forgot; I brought you presents." I said untying one of their packets from my belts and raising it so as them to see it. "Those are the littler, I also brought you something but they were big so as to carry them here while travelling on my motorbike."

"What's this?" Embry said stealing the packet from my hand fast and sniffing it.

"First thing, that's for Quil, yours is here." I added looking for his while I was surrounded by them and Jacob had no shirt on. "And this one is for… Jacob."

"They are… nice." Quil said looking at the packet.

"Thanks, but the present is not the bag, yet it can be used as neck purse." I said. "Presents are inside."

They took not much to unwrap their presents and find the little wooden figures and the perfumed hair cloths.

"They are not much, but I thought you would like them." I said still lying at the car front part with my eyes close at the little sunbeams trespassing the clouds.

"Wow they are… what's this smell?" Embry said showing me the cloth while they sniffed them.

"I thought you would like them." I said smiling. "They are good for holding hair away from the face, and also for protecting your head from sun."

"Thanks." They said.

"Now we have to give you something in exchange." Quil said. "That's what gentlemen do."

"No need of." I said. "Those are travel souvenirs. Jacob? You are too quiet… haven't you liked those? I should have bought you…"

"No, no!" He said fast. "It's just… I was thinking on getting one of those wraps for when I was… well, riding the motorbike."

Then I smiled.

"I'm happy of having chosen well." I said. "So? Do we leave?"

"Aye." They said.

"We could fist go to have some meal and then maybe we could…" Jacob began telling while we managed to pack ourselves at the car cabin and the back of it while I was sandwiched between Jacob and Quil.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Caught!" Lilly said falling over a puma. "Let's play mate!!"

"I've never seen anyone hunting like that." Alice said while she drank a female bear's blood and Ivvan did the same with her male mate. "She seems to be playing!"

"Well, I bet you have never had such a young member in your coven." He answered her. "Time will pass and she is still keeping some childish points and behaviours such as this one."

"Or the 'Mommy' thing with Bella 2." Alice said.

"For example, yes." He said. "Anyway, why do you call her that? Why not just Bella or Isabella?"

"We already have a Bella in our family." Alice explained him. "She is my brother Edward's wife. Married and all."

"Marriage… it's funny coming from people of our kind." Ivvan said softly.

"They married a bit ago." Alice said. "Soon we will have to go away again."

"Bobby!" Ivvan told him off when he killed a bear and went for a puma. "First drink that blood and then you will hunt something else! Sorry, you were saying?"

"Have you ever settled on a concrete place?" Alice asked him.

"Oh, yes." He said. "Yes, from time to time we settle on a city. It's easier to pass unnoticed on a city. We usually live at Europe. Before finding Bobby we were living at Rome for some years, together Lillian, Chad, Isabella and I."

"So there's another member at your coven, isn't him?" Alice asked.

"It's not exactly… well, not exactly a Coven." Ivvan said. "It's more like a family. And no, none of us is Isabella's partner; she has not one."

"Really?" Alice said. "I thought you said… well, she bitted you, didn't she?"

"I don't know who turned me." Ivvan said. "I'm just the first one in her own gang. And well, it's obvious what I feel towards her, appearing to be her husband when we have to play roles as family in ordinary human communities and all…"

"And she has yet not realised?" Alice said.

"No, she says she doesn't believe on that." Ivvan said. "I don't know much about her past, it seems it was a bit dark and too complex yet maybe love was not the worst on her story."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Do you remember first time we were here?" Quil asked me smiling. "We were to that cinema, remember?"

"Aye." I said smiling. "I was wearing as an ordinary girl back then, with a summer dress and all. And I also remember I invited you to have meal and that we were nearly kicked out of the restaurant cause you seemed about going to eat everything at the menu and drain them from food."

"Yeah, that's our style." Embry said. "It's cheaper to invite us to anything else not food."

"Werewolves eat a lot." I said kidding. "Ah, what's that place?" I added pointing to an ice-cream parlour.

"Do you want an ice-cream?" Quil asked me smiling.

"Sounds good." I said.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Ahh!" Some girls said while a handsome guy held a little travelling sack and walked towards the exit of the airport walking like a film star or model. "Who can he be?"

However, he didn't minded them and kept on walking before taking out his mobile phone to mark a phone number and get it to his ear.

"Hey, 'bro-in-law'. Do you know where does our dear beauty is living?"

"Why are you asking so?" Ivvan asked bothered. "We were hunting."

"Then you tell me and I can stop bothering you." The handsome guy said smiling like a little imp. "So?"

"Forks, yet a friend of her here said before she would be around a reserve near Forks because she saw her disappearing at their limit. Anyway, watch out cause…"

"Boring." The guy said hanging down the phone. "So Forks is it then. Ok, let's see if I can get there on a comfortable way." He added putting the phone back at his robes and smiling sexily like a little imp.

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"This things are not real ice-creams." I said while I was on the middle of my ice-cream while the guys had already ended theirs and we were again lying against Jacob's car. "Italian ones are real ones. Really, once you have tried them you will never again look the same on these ones." I said licking it softly.

"If you don't like them then maybe you would rather us to eat it." Embry said to be hit by Jacob. "Just for helping you, of course."

"No, I like this too, they are… different." I said taking another little lick.

"Have you travelled to Europe?" Quil asked then.

"I come from Europe, but I've been around the whole world already." I told them. "The 5 continents plus the North and South Poles. I move really often."

"Haven't you ever spent a long time on a same place?" Embry said. "That's… sad."

"Let's just said I can't stay for too long on the same place or I would begin calling for attention, especially with my daughter Lillian that is 6 years old."

"Your daughter?!" They said frightened jumping away.

"Of course she is not my real one." I said as if it was obvious. "But when she is around and we need an alibi she is that for me."

"And if there's a daughter there must be a husband." Quil said as if he had to make it out and it was hard for him.

"Aye, Ivvan, a friend of mine." I said. "Ivvan is the father, I'm her wife, Chad is my brother and Lillian is Ivvan and mine daughter."

"Then what are the brothers?" Embry said. "Your uncles?"

"No, they are our friends." I said after thinking about it. "Yet they have something of sons too even when we've never used that alibi before."

"How many members does your coven have then?!" They said white as chalk.

"It's not just one coven." I said. "It's four different ones. The twins, The Crowley and Crawley and Aqueron, the Sniper. Four different covens to hide the gang. Nah, we are like a big family. And there are also other covens who are friends of some members."

"You look like Mafia." Embry said.

Suddenly I noticed Jacob had been silent for a bit long and looked at him a bit worried. I turned a bit my head over my shoulder.

"Jacob, anything wrong?" I asked him.

"No, it's just… I was thinking about what you said of your supposed husband." He said. "I was wondering who he was."

"Ivvan, a friend of mine." I said. "It's the eldest member of my main coven. The first one I allowed joining me and the only one of the main coven not bitten by me. He is not anyone I gave an opportunity of living, he just… came to me, our ways crossed and since then he's been by my side, always close to me, has never ever questioned anything I decided…"

"Oh, oh…" Quil said worried.

"He is my best man." I said. "And best friend too. Anyway, we have separated ways; he is the head of a family while I keep my way always in and out his path, their path. Similar but at the same time different."

"So he is just… a friend." Jacob said.

"Yeah, just a friend." I said smiling in fun realising what happened to him. "He is a really close friend, and I love him as much as I love other friends."

"Ok, friends or not today will be a nice night for bonfires." Quil said. "Why don't we do one at the beach?"

"Great idea." Jacob said. "Sam and Emily will be happy to hear of that, and maybe Em can take Claire too? She is four now, she will be cheerful with the fire and you will protect her as her faithful pet dog, won't you?" He added joking.

"Pet dogs are also cute." I said rubbing his head playfully as if he was such and making him do pleased noises.

"If you need one you know where to have one." Jacob said.

"I don't think Lucius is such kind, maybe a faithful and protective prey-dog." I said joking and making them also laugh.

"By the way Bella, will you finally come too?" Embry asked. "C'mon… if we go with our girls Jacob will be bored, and if you come then he will have some good company too."

"Embry!" Jacob said hitting him hard yet I knew they hadn't hurt themselves.

"I'll see what I do, right?" I said getting in the car while Jacob held the door for me. "Thank you gentleman."

Those kids were certainly funny, especially Jacob and his childish jealousy.

While he drove back La Push they commented on the trip to the city and they laugh while they remembered about the little part incident when Embry and Quil had fallen into the grass rolling over themselves playing to fight.

That time I spent with them they made me feel warm, it made me feel as if my immortal life was not a problem for that, but then the rest of the pack arrived and made me remember who I really was.

"Ah, you've came back." Sam told me when he saw us at Billy's house moving some heavy things. "I see you are unharmed again."

"Those three gentlemen took care of me." I said smiling at him. "Jacob is a really good chap, gentleman and strong. I'm really glad he is my friend."

That made him look to the three friends and then me again before nodding once and then keeping on moving the things.

"Sam, we are doing a bonfire tonight at the beach". Embry said. "Will Emily and you come too?"

"I'll tell her, her nieces are at her home so…" He said. "We'll see."

"I'll go and see if I can change clothes into something else." I said.

"No need of." Jacob said. "I still have that dress you once bought at the city."

"Do you still keep it?" I asked nearly laughing at the idea of what could he be doing with a woman dress and sandals at his wardrobe. "What interest can a dress have for a guy?"

Then they all looked at him but Billy was the one helping him.

"I'm the one keeping it." He said. "They would not treat it with the care needed. C'mon, I'll give you it so you can change if you want to."

"Thanks." I said smiling.

"Hum…" The model guy said when he ended finding the path he was told at Forks to reach La Push. "So this is the place… a bit dusty." He said looking ahead and around after closing the door. "Ok, now… let's see if I can find her when I can't smell her."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Really?!" Embry said laughing while I told them about how I managed to fool my last prey into an ambush where I managed to cut his right arm and he left me a big wound at mine. "And he didn't realise that was a tramp?"

"No!" I said smiling as laughing too. "That's the funniest, that brainless fell for my tick completely and when he reached there I was already waiting for him."

It was weird, because I had been feeling a weird presence that appeared and disappeared as it was a bit far from us all the time.

And it seemed it was not unnoticed by the rest cause Sam seemed to be listening to something and soon the rest seemed a bit distracted too.

"Excuse me." Sam said.

"Whatever it is it stinks." Jared said whispering and appearing normality too. "Take care."

I knew they thought I could not hear them, but the truth was vampire's ear sense was greatly developed and I could hear all they were saying.

"Anything wrong?" I asked.

"Sam?" Jacob asked surrounding me with his arm.

"No, keep on partying, I will have a look." He said.

Then he left and the pack males held us females dissimulately making me look at Jacob.

"You're being safe here." He said.

"Jacob, remember I'm not in need of protection all the time." I said then. "Less if as I have deduced from them, it's one alone and of my kind."

"How can you be so sure?" Quil asked next to me with Claire playing at his lap.

"C'mon… It stinks?" I said. "And Sam thinks he needs no help for taking care of it? Cullen would never trespass your frontiers, so it must be one alone, of my kind and foreigner."

Hair: Long a bit wavy and pearly white.

Skin: Golden pale

Description: He is pretty tall standing at 6'6 feet tall and has a well built structure with rather hunk shapes perfect for a fit and sportive a man, what anyway tend to make women's attention to be laid at him for his beauty, hard body and wonderful appearance. Apart from that, he also moves on an attractive way always remembering to great model or actor. He usually wears in black robes and usually they tend to be also sexy on him, tending to be tank tops. When it's sunny he also wears sunglasses that seem to be a seal of distinction among his friends or "coven-family".

Story: He once was a lonely vampire and he doesn't really know too well about his past. He was born on a poor family at Italy and immigrated towards the new world when he was very little, there he got part of a mafia band as soon as he was elder enough and when he was on his early twenties he became his father's trust man, so some years after it, when his father agreed to past him the power, he got into more dangerous troubles and he was caught and thrown to the sea with a block of fresh cement at his feet. Despite of managing to break free he was not able to swim up to surface and so he thought he would die. Then he saw a light and was bitten forgetting about everything happened before.

Bio: After waking up to his new condition, he didn't remember much about his past life as human; and the first remember he has in his mind is waking up in the middle of a blood pool of all the mafia at Boston Bay. When he realised what he had done he flew away to soon join a cover of females that had a female with a broken arm and pitch-black hair. That was first time he met Isabella Alexandrine that was sheltering at Marianne's coven after having had to work near there. As soon as he met her he fell in love with that lady and spent his first years going with her without asking her much while she taught him how to act and hunt without harming ordinary humans yet soon he had clear she felt not the same towards him yet he promised himself to be patient until she could feel the same that he felt for her but towards him.

He always worked side with side with her really often just stopping from time to time; anyway, when they found Lillian around and she asked him to train her on the following years and then she began travelling away for longer.

In familiar or coven terms, he considers Lily as a mix between his littler sister and daughter, and Isabella as his wife; what in fact is the cover up they usually use when referring them as the Crawlen. However, he sees Chad as a rival instead as the brother-in-law he is supposed to be for the family role.

Now the family has divided, Chad is brother of Bobby and they are Bella's brothers but two different families related somehow.

Vampire Abilities: He possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability, endurance and agility typical of vampires. He is nearly as fast as Isabella, what makes him easily able to outrun any other vampire. He can also cease breathing when needed, since breathing is not a necessity for vampires. However, he has stated that it gets uncomfortable to stop breathing, because he likes to think he is still part human, and because it is linked to their sense of smell he has greatly developed to the point of distinguish humans from vampires and also from werewolves and being able to track anyone by their smell. Like other vampires in the series, Carlo is not harmed by sunlight, and even since it causes his skin to sparkle a bit, he doesn't stay home if he needs to get out of home on a sunny day, covering himself with long leg trousers and a shirt or jacket yet he tends to use tank tops. He as Cullens is incapable of sleeping, and receive nutrients from both blood and he also eats human food what he likes to think makes him more human (Isabella's influence) and that he has managed to acquired not going sick after a long training eating human food little by little. He as Cullens resists the temptation to drink human blood, a vampire's natural food source, choosing instead to drink the blood of animals or attack blood banks.

More Specific Abilities (Gifts): Mind controlling, but he takes a lot of care on not showing it unless unavoidably needed so as not to call for Vulturis' attention.
