Hey Purrfictionist here, sorry for the late reply. Here is the next chapter which I think is exceptionally long based on Word. Anywho, read and reply!

Chapter 14

{Diego}

Suspicions

"This way," Edward says jumping over a log.

We run around the long trees of the forest and cut through the opening and into a huge meadow. I look around the meadow and I feel something shift in me. The knee length yellow grass brushes against my jeans as I run past it and I feel my hands ball up into fists. I was here before. Here with him. It was when I first met them.

"His scent's growing stronger, it's heading out to their land," Jasper hisses.

"The wolves?" I ask confused.

Edward glances at me and I wince under his gaze as he nods. "Yes, we signed a treaty with the Quileute saying that we wouldn't cross a boundary line they drew which is right in front of us," Edward explains.

"Are we going to cross it now?" I ask him a little concerned. The wolves can do some damage.

Jasper nods. "Yes, desperate times call for desperate measures."

I jump over a log and leap through the boundary line Edward had said the wolves had drawn. Loud chants break out of the forest and I start to slow down as the strong sent of smoke fills the air. Edward frowns and comes to a stop a good two yards away from the bright opening of their village. He looks at Jasper and I with a finger pressed against his lips.

Do not speak, he says. They'll hear us and stay calm Jasper.

I nod and I hear Jasper glance at Edward and at the village angrily. One by one, we silently edge closer and closer to the opening until we can see the Quileute members as clear as we can see the stars and the moon above us.

I lean down behind the bushes and stare at Billy Black, the man in the wheel chair sitting next to the huge bonfire, leans forward on his knees and whispers something to the women sitting next to him. She looks young but her brown hair that's graying at the edges gives away her age. Her brown eyes twinkle in the light as she looks up at Billy and I notice that she has nice, smooth pretty face .A grim look spreads across her face as she nods at Billy.

The copper tan teenage boys sitting around the fire laugh loudly in huge husky voices. A medium height girl maybe around eighteen with shoulder length black hair sits in the dark shadows of the other side of the forest and looks down at the dark ground silently. Something rustles in the bushes behind her and a tall, familiar boy with a dark gray shirt pressed to his chest pops out of the shadow and enters into the light of the bonfire with a fifteen year old boy running ahead of him.

Everything suddenly quiets down as the elder boy steps into the light. Jacob Black. The small teenage boy runs past Jacob and leans down over something huge. A loud hiss breaks out as the boy places a hand on the huge object and it moves.

A low growl erupts from Jasper and Edward's hands dig into the dirt. I stare at the scene before me and feel something rip apart from my heart. The huge bulky object tied to the ground a foot away from the fire is none other than Emmett.

"What the heck is he doing here?" Jacob says practically reading my mind.

"He passed the line Jake," Billy Black says.

"The Cullens made a deal with us dad; they wouldn't cross the line unless they had to tell us something, Emmett must have something to tell us." Jacob argues.

"He has nothing to tell us Jacob," a cold voice says.

I turn to face the other teenage boy around nineteen or twenty watching Jacob coldly. What does he mean Emmett has no reason for crossing the line?

"I don't believe it Sam," Jacob says turning to face Emmett. "Maybe if you hadn't hurt him so much he can't talk."

Jasper and I glance at each other and then back at the wolves.

"He can talk, he just won't," the boy Sam says.

"Emmett has a reason for being here. Why else would he want to come here? Untie the knots Seth. I'll take Emmett home and talk to Carlisle about Emmett trespassing. If Emmett doesn't want to tell us Dr. Cullen will."

The boy Seth starts to untie the knots around Emmett's wrists when two men next to Sam leap across the fire and violently push Seth away from Emmett and send him flying into the trees behind him. The woman next to Billy screams and runs towards the boy. Jacob growls and leaps forward with the silent girl behind him and together, they start to pull the wolves off of Emmett.

Emmett growls and struggles with the ropes tied around his wrists and ankles. His eyes suddenly pop up from the ground and he looks right at us. He meets Edward's eyes and then looks at the fire. Edward leans back in shock and horror. If Emmett would try to escape, they'd set him on fire.

"This is ridiculous Sam!" Jacob growls.

"We aren't taking any chances Jacob Black! I will not allow what happened a while ago to happen again!" Sam yells.

"That was different!" the girl cries.

Sam steps back in shock.

"That… Sam you can't compare this to that," she says her voice shaking.

I step back further into the woods and back away from the wolf people. They were talking about that day. I have to get out of here. I have to leave before Edward finds out. Sam and Jacob will ruin everything. Edward will know everything that happened, and then… he'll tell her. He'll tell Bree.

"This is the same thing Leah. You are just too thick headed to think about what really happened!" he screams. "It was your father Leah!"

Leah starts to sob and the women whose holding the boy walks over to grab Leah's hand.

"Stop it Sam, Jacob is right. The Cullens hate us. Why in the world would they come here?" she says to Leah's defense.

Sam shakes off the lady and looks darkly at his men. "Kill him."

Edward growls and pops out of the forest with Jasper and me behind him. "Enough!" he hisses.

Sam growls and his muscular arms tighten and start to shake as he fights his anger. "See they're all here."

"Shut it pup," Jasper says.

"Let him go Sam. Emmett had a reason for trespassing your land he doesn't want to tell you because he knows that you and your dog friends will do something hasty and stupid."

"Define stupid leech," Sam says. "In my dictionary stupid is changing an innocent girl into a blood sucker. Saving my people from you is defined as heroic, righteous, intelligent."

"Bella chose what she wanted," Edward says grimly. "Sam. This situation which my family and I are involved in is something that you should not jump into. It is not meant for you."

"If anything is happening in Forks, something so big that it needs to be a secret than-" he says and his eyes flicker into the darkness. "Who is that?"

Edward follows Sam's eyes to the forest and watches me as I take a step back into the shade. He saw me. It's over. It's all over.

"He's a friend," Edward says. "He's just shy."

He's helping me. Why is he helping me? Does he already know?

Sam narrows his eyes coldly. "Shy? What's there to hide Cullen?"

Edward looks back at the forest. Jasper stands alert facing the fire and Emmett who's watching me intently. Hands balled up into fists by my side, I step in the light and watch as the women's grip on Leah loosens.

"You," Sam says. "You were there that night."

"What are you talking about?" Jasper says. "What night?"

"I think you're mistaken," I lie. "I never saw you before."

Sam leaps on me and pushes me back against the tree with a hand wrapped around my neck. "You're lying. You were there. I know you're name, Don? Dan? Daniel?"

I push him off of me. "Get off of me. I said I don't know you!"

"Then why're you so angry?" Sam says shoving me again.

My jaw tightens and I push him onto the floor. "I don't like dogs touching me."

"Diego, get off of him," a familiar voice says from behind us. It's Carlisle. "We do not handle our business like this."

I let go of Sam and push myself up to my feet and face where Carlisle is standing next to the fire as Edward and Jasper help Emmett up to his feet. Edward meets my eyes and a cold expression flashes across his face.

You're hiding things, he says. You do know Sam don't you? Who are you Diego?

My throat closes up and I narrow my eyes and pretend to be confused. I really don't know Sam.

I read minds Diego. I'm not stupid.

"Edward, I need you to come with me to talk to Mr. Black and the others," Carlisle says interrupting us.

I practically sigh in relief and find Edward's cold topaz eyes flicker back to me as he walks away into the building with Carlisle in his shadows.

We aren't done yet Diego. You got lucky this time.

"Jasper, Diego and Bree take Emmett home, we'll be back soon," Carlisle calls over his shoulder.

Bree's here? I walk over to Jasper and look behind him to find Bree looking up at me. Her brown eyes are wide and seem distant. She quickly averts her gaze as if she's trying to hide something from me and looks over at Emmett.

"Can you walk?" she asks Emmett.

He manages to shake his head no. "I'm gonna kill those dogs," he hisses.

Loud growls erupt from the fire where the remaining werewolves sit and Jasper hisses back coldly. I slide Emmett's arm around my neck and look over at Jasper who's about to pounce on the dogs.

"Come on Jasper," Bree says. "Let's not waste our time on them."

Jasper mutters something under his breath and we start to run with Bree in the lead. Emmett's a lot heavier than I thought. Jasper and I jump over the logs and push Emmett up so that his feet won't hit the fallen trees and continue our path through the forest ignoring Emmett's constant groans.

In a minute we start to see a small ray of a bright yellow light searing through the dark night from the Cullen's house. The house starts to grow bigger and bigger until we're soon standing right at the foot of the steps. We pull Emmett up the stairs with all our strength and watch as the door in front of us flies open. A tall figure blurs past us and suddenly, Emmett slides out of our hands.

Rosalie Cullen screams in agony as she wraps her arms around her husband and her entire body starts to shake as if she's crying. Her long delicate fingers brush Emmett's cracked cheek as he blinks at her.

"I'm ok Rose," he whispers. "I'm ok angel."

Bree looks at the floor uncomfortably and slowly walks into the house as Esme and Alice race out the door to join Rosalie and Jasper. I look down at Emmett and his brown eyes meet mine and something flickers in his gaze. I feel my hands slide into the pockets of my jacket as my eyes slide down to the floor. Does he know? Did the wolves tell him?

I leave Emmett and the others behind and walk into the room absent mindedly. I won't be able to stay here long. I might have to leave. It's only a matter of time before Edward or someone else finds out the truth, and when they learn about what had happened, they would tell Bree.

My footsteps echo throughout the house as I pull myself up to my feet. My frozen heart grows colder and heavier as I walk through the hallway of the second floor. What Bree think of me? Would she ever talk to me again? I stop walking as I come to the end of the hallway and lean my head against the wall. I might have to leave even earlier. I can take Bree with me so that no one will be able to tell her anything. She'd be with me, running through the woods and camping in caves like we had done before.

"Diego, is that you?" Bree whispers.

I turn around and look down at Bree. I take her in more carefully this time. I drink in her soft elbow length hair and her small beautiful face with a perfectly shaped nose. I look down at her arms that dangle by her sides and watch as she twists and untwists her fingers. I look back at her eyes and find something that I didn't notice earlier. Fear.

"Bree what's wrong?" I ask wondering if she had grown suspicious about me when I told Sam that I didn't know him.

"It's nothing," she says a little too quickly and her eyes drop down to the floor.

I slowly reach out and take Bree's small hand in mine. "You're lying, Bree," I whisper. "What happened?"

She silently looks down at my hands and closes her eyes. "It was them Diego," she whispers. "It was the call with the Volturi."

My hand tightens around Bree's. All thoughts of the wolves suddenly disappear from my hand and I start to remember my horrible days with the Volturi. "What they did they say to you?" I demand.

"They said that they were going to make you regret running away, they said that they were going to give you a lesson that they won't ever forget, and I was scared when Bella told me that you had gone out, I thought that they came for you," she says.

I look down into Bree's dark brown eyes and give her a small smile. I gently brush away a strand of hair that lingers on her cheek.

"They aren't going to come anywhere near me Bree, I'll be alright."

Bree nods numbly and I gently pull her into my arms. She leans her small head against my chest and wraps her arms around my waist.

"I missed you," she whispers.

"I missed you to Bree, I missed you to," I tell her.
