The only thing that I concentrated one was the noises around me.
Then a voice came into my mind, "Aubrey what's happening?"
"Sam it isn't good. Come near the caves as fast as you can. I smell blood."
He didn't say anything back. As I said that Jake looked at me strangely. Then I saw his eyes go into alert. His gaze was on something behind me. I slowly turned around to face another werewolf. No one from our pack, but this one looked strangely familiar. Smelt of the city. Its eyes didn't leave my body. No wolf moved. I don't think they dared to. The tension that hung in the air was getting worse. A fight was in the works. I looked over at Paul and Jake. They were both staring at the wolf. I heard something move. I looked back and the wolf was moving down towards me.
I tried to talk to just Jake and Paul, "Don't move. I can handle this."After a few moments
I heard Paul, "Aubrey just watch your back. We don't know this wolf or what it's capable of."
I didn't respond I keep my gaze fixed on the wolf in front of me.
Then I heard Sam, "We're here. Stay calm and try not to start this fight. It shows a sign of aggression towards outsiders."
I mentally tucked that bit of information into my memory and the wolf was three feet away from me by that time. It looked into my eyes and the wolf looked as though it was trying to sense something.
"Do I know you?"
A male voice I didn't know erupted into my thoughts. I didn't know who it was, but I was betting it was the wolf in front of me.
"I don't know if you know me, but I can take a guess and say no."
"Have you been into the city in the last month?"
I was shocked but didn't let it show, "Maybe. Why do you ask?"
"You have the smell of a human girl I helped back in a mall parking garage."
Now I was starting to get freaked out. I held my stance. "Who says I'm not a girl?"
I heard laughter in my mind, "That can't be. Anyone from this tribe in male."
My anger got the best of me. I didn't care if all the guys saw me. I willed myself to turn into my human form. The wolf looked at me. You can't tell the expression on a wolf.
"Ok maybe you are a girl. Wait you ARE the girl from the garage."
As fast as I changed back into my human form I was faster at changing into my wolf one. I ignored the statement and went to business.
"Now what business do you have here and what is your name?"
"My name is Alex and I came to get out of the city. I knew there were other wolfs here so I decided to come. I didn't think I'd be ambushed right when I got here. Anything I should know about?"
"It's none of your business and we were out patrolling. We needed to see if anything had crossed into our land. Now as I see it as to if you get to stay here is not up to me. So you may continue your talk with our pack leader, Sam."
As if on cue Sam was right next to me. I turned to him, "I'm outta here."
He nodded his head and turned towards Alex. I turned and I went towards the house. I had to get out of there. I'll tell you one thing I didn't think I would end up naked in front of seven guys. I ran as fast as I could and when I got there I saw a set of clothes there for me and the guys. When I was about ten feet away from the porch my body morphed back into my normal body. As I started to walk again it felt wonderful. Then I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see Jacob. Naked might I add. That's another thing I didn't expect today. I turned around and walked to my clothes. Not caring that he was there and I pulled on my undergarments and then my pants. When I had my shirt in my hand I heard him moving. I turned around and he was right there. He reached behind me for a pair of boxers. I looked at his face the whole time and when he had that article of clothing on I felt a little relieved.
"You enjoy the view?"
He flashed me a smirk, "You know I did."
I shook my head, "Don't plan on seeing it again anytime soon."
I then walked in the house. Leaving him standing there in a pair of boxers and looking like an idiot staring after me. I laugh lightly when I got in and Emily was at the kitchen table. She was looking t me when I came in with a smile on her face.
"What?"
She shook her head at me, "Anything interesting happen?"
I walked over to the table and pulled out the chair, "Oh yeah there's another wolf in town. The one that saved me from the vampire in the parking garage. The guys including the new wolf guy named Alex saw me naked. Then I have seen Jake naked now. On top of that I was told to get the fuck out of my house and my mom hates me. I didn't know today could be so full of unexpected things."
Emily looked at me with concern, "Do you think the new wolf followed you here?"
I shrugged, "It's possible. Maybe I should talk with Sam about it tonight."
"Yeah that probably the best idea."
I got up and went to a cabinet and pulled out a glass. Opening the fridge and taking out a jug of sweet tea. Poured a glass, put the jug back in the fridge and sat back down. Then I heard something no some things coming.
"They're back."
She got up and went to the back door. As she opened it Sam walked in with a pair of jeans slung low on his waist and the rest of the guys looked like that. Including Alex. I watched them all take a seat. Jake sat on the left side of me and Quil sat on the right. Then Embry, then Emily and Sam sat on the left side. Paul and Jared on the other. It seemed as if they where protecting us from Alex. Alex was staring at me and the guys were eyeing him.
Sam was the first to speak, "So how long do you plan on staying?"Alex turned his head towards Sam and took his gaze off of mine.
As that happened I was thinking, "Thank god."
He thought for a moment, "I was thinking of about a week or two."
The only thing I was thinking about when he said that was escape.
I stood up, "I'll be right back."
I didn't wait for an answer and I walked towards my room. As I got into the hallway a pain went throughout my body. Not a white-hot one like when my body was changing. More like a migraine. I fell to my knees and the next thing I know a vision flashed through my mind. I saw myself in my room and the vampire there. He was coming towards me and I stood my ground.
He spoke up, "Aubrey."
He said it as if he was testing it.
"What do you want bloodsucker?"
His eyes went over my body, "Aw Aubrey you know what I'm here for. She just got in the way."
I squared my shoulders, "Edward will go after her. You won't get away with it."
He gave me a vicious smile, "Does that mean you don't have anyone going after me to save you?"
"No I'm saying he'll find you faster."The vampire was coming closer. I started moving backwards. Soon my knees hit my bed. Then he was on me seconds after my back hit the bed. Being a hundred times stronger then me helped him out.
He gave me another smiled showing me his fangs, "Now I'm going to have some fun. When I'm all done you'll wake up and be just like me."
I started to struggle and his stone-like body pressed against mine holding it down, while he had my arms pinned above my head. His face lowered to my neck we was exposed thanks to my tank top. He slowly kissed my collarbone. I felt myself shudder in disgust and he continued to kiss his way up my neck. As he was trying to feel around for the source of my vein he moved away.
"So peculiar. Your vein isn't against your first layer of skin. Oh well."
He moved to my collarbone again. I felt my heart beat faster because I was scared as hell. He then found a place were my vein was throbbing. Then he bit down. It felt like ice was seeping through to my veins. Slowing my blood flow down. As he took my blood I couldn't fight back. My head was starting to spin and loosing consciousness. The last thing I saw was the vampire's face in my face.
The last thing I heard, "Now your mine forever."
As I got out of the vision everyone was surrounding me.
"Oh god. Can you get the hell away from me? I already feel peachy fucking keen without you guys hovering."
Most of the guys backed up. Quil and Jake didn't get the memo I guess.
Quil "Are you ok?"
Jake "Do you need anything?"
Then Sam popped into my head, "I'm going through you memory. You'll feel a tugging."
Just as he said I felt a tugging in my mind. As he pulled out the memory it flashed before my eyes again.
I yelled at him in my mind, "Hey stop that it hurts!"
I turned to Jake, "Can you carry me to my room?"
He gave me a smile, "My pleasure."
Then he scooped me up and I put my arms around his neck as he picked me up bridal style. As he walked towards the room I saw the guys and Emily go back to the kitchen. He pushed open the door and he walked to my bed. Placing me in the center then pulling the covers down and over me. Then he laid down next to me.
He pushed a strand of my hair out of my face, "Go to sleep. You need the rest."
I simply nodded and closed my eyes. He kissed my forehead and I felt him get off the bed. It took awhile to go to sleep, but finally I did.
