I don't own Twilight
14 Enemy?
Jake's point of view
"Hello?"
"Hello, am I talking to Jacob Black?"
"Who is this?"
"Are you Jacob Black from La Push reservation?" oh perfect, a guy from jail calling me to obtain information.
"It depends on who is asking"
"My name is Dylan Sorin, I am Leah's imprint"
"Oh very funny Embry, seriously aren't you a little big for this kind of prank?"
"What?"
"Go bother someone else Em", I close my cell phone and I left it on the table again. These guys are crazy. My phone started ringing again and I smiled when I saw the same number. "You seriously need to find your imprint"
"Jacob I am not one of your pack members, my name is Dylan Sorin and as I said before, I am Leah's imprint, I need to speak with you"
"Yeah right and I am a farmer from Bruselas, you should have chosen an Italian name dude, but I'll give you credit for the accent you sound very weird"
"I am telling you the truth!"
"Aha"
"Hey Jake! Want to play football with us?"
"Not now Embry…embry?" I looked at him running with Paul. "Whoa, you really got me this time Quil", unbelievable, he has a lot of potential; I wish we could use that energy in something more productive. "Why don't you use your imagination to build a plan to rescue Leah, that would be really helpful"
"Would you please listen to me? I am not Embry, nor Quil, I am not even from the same continent! And what plan are you talking about? We have everything under control"
"We? Is Emmet with you?"
"Ok, I am really losing my patience here; I knew this wasn't a good idea"
"Stop with the accent Quil, you sound like a fool"
"What accent?" Quil asked sitting in the table next to me.
"Quil? What are you doing here?" I asked confused.
"Ah, grabbing some chips for Clair, why?"
Ok, it's not Embry and it's not Quil. I looked around trying to find who was missing, but everyone is here. The two packs, their imprints, the whole Cullen family… no one is missing.
"Who is this?" I asked again in a serious tone.
"Like I have been trying to tell you, my name is Dylan Sorin, Leah's imprint", he answered frustrated.
"Prove it"
"What?"
"How do I know you are not a Volturi?"
"Leah told me everything about you; your legends, the details about your transformation, she even described me each one of you, she really misses her home"
"I am sorry but that proves nothing, any leech could have obtained that information"
"Well I remember an interesting story that involves you cutting your hair for a girl name Bella"
"She told you that?"
"Want me to tell you the whole story? Or you believe me now?"
"If you tell anyone the true story I am going to hunt you down and kill you" I threatened him. "Are you really Leah's imprint?"
"Yes"
"O-K… ah, sorry about earlier; I wasn't expecting your call"
"I understand, this isn't the way I was planning to meet you, but things are getting really weird around here and I think you deserve to know"
"Is Leah with you?" I asked.
"Jake who are you talking to?" Quil asked confused.
"Later Quil", I said standing up.
"Am I interrupting something?"
"I am in the middle of a big family meeting, but this is more important. So, is Leah with you?"
"Not right now, she doesn't now I am calling you, she isn't allow to have any connection with you", he explained.
"I now, before yesterday we thought she was dead"
"What?"
"Did Leah tell you everything?" I can't talk about the Volturi with him if he doesn't know all the story.
"I know more than you do, that's for sure"
"Aro conveniently forgot to tell us she is now part of the royal guard. Two of us went a few days ago to try to free her, and it worked, but she decided she wanted to stay, that's how we discovered she had imprinted"
"She decided not to leave?" he asked surprise.
"Dylan, right?" I asked trying to remember his name.
"Yes"
"Maybe you can talk to her and convince her to come back. She doesn't belong there, her place is here with her family and my pack, we can't loose her and frankly we don't know what else to do"
"I promise I'll speak with her as soon as I can, but you have to stop trying to get her back or this is going to end in a big mess, as I said before, I have everything under control"
"You? I don't want to offend you but this is not something humans can handle, is just too dangerous"
"Human?" My heart stopped.
"You are a vampire?" I asked seriously.
"Thank god no", he answered laughing. "I thought you liked vampires"
"Not the Volturi", I said relieved.
"Well I am not a vampire and I am not part of the Volturi, actually my people has fought against them since the beginning of time. I am sure Carlisle will be able to tell you more about it, I don't actually have a lot of time"
"If you don't mind the question, what exactly are you?" I asked getting nervous.
"How much do you know about werewolves Jacob? Real werewolves" My heart stopped for the second time and I swallowed with difficulty.
"You have to be kidding me", I murmured to myself.
"Turn it on Jake!" Edward suddenly said pushing me towards the others. "The speaker", he said when he saw my confuse expression.
While I was busy talking to Dylan, Quil went to talk to the others and told them what he suspected. They had all gathered in the big table and I sat in the only free spot in one corner. I put my cell phone in the middle of the table and we all stayed silent.
"Jacob are you still there?"
"Yes Dylan, actually everyone is listening to you now", I said.
"Ok, this is kind of awkward, hi everyone", he greeted and a chorus of 'hi' and 'hello' answered him.
"He has a cute voice", the pixie whispered and I sighed.
"So, you are a werewolf?" I asked.
"Yes I am", his answered caused different reactions; some of the guys got very excited, others couldn't take their surprise expression out of his faces, and vampires in general kept serious. When everyone remained silent again, he continued. "I hope you don't consider that as a bad thing"
"We don't have trouble with different species", Emmet answered laughing out loud and Rosalie put her hand in his mouth to keep him quiet.
"I am glad to hear that", Dylan said.
"You said you had everything under control, what do you mean with that?" I asked.
"Ok, I'll try to make a summary of everything, just try not to interrupt unless is absolutely necessary", Leah's imprint said. "I met Leah almost a month ago, when she saw me she imprinted me and at the same time she became my sol, which is basically the same thing"
"You imprinted her?"
Ok this is not working; everyone started to talk at the same time again and I started to loose my patience.
"Shut up! If you can't control yourselves I am taking my cell phone away. Please continue Dylan"
"Well, Leah and I share a very strong bond now, so I am making everything I can to get her out of the Volturi castle, but is not very easy considering that I am their mortal enemy. I am part of a team of nine werewolves including me, I am second in charge, but my leader, Valadik, won't hear me"
"But Valadik was killed many years ago", Carlisle said.
"It's a long story, but trust me, he is alive", Dylan assured us. "He is planning to attack the Volturi castle in the next full moon and Leah agreed to help us"
"You are forcing my sister to fight?" Seth interrupted. I looked at him angrily and he stopped immediately.
"Seth, right?" Dylan guessed. "I did everything I could to let her out of this, but she is just so… stubborn, she forced me to let her fight and let's just say I can't deny her anything"
"Well, that sounds like Leah", I commented.
"Do you really expect to win against the Volturi?" Jasper asked. "There are only nine of you"
"He is Leah's imprint, we have to help them", Embry said.
"That's easy for you to say, you don't have an imprint to take care of", Paul told him. Before another discussion started Dylan's voice interrupted everyone.
"Hey, hey, hey! My leader refuses to accept your help, and the attack was planned for the next month, I still have enough time to find a way to keep Leah out of all of this"
"You are second in charge, convince him", Seth commented.
"We are a team, not a pack, everything works different around here"
"Hey Dylan!" someone said from the other side of the phone. "What are you doing?"
"Ah… ordering pizza", Dylan said confused. "Tyler I think Robert was looking for you. That was close", he murmured to himself. "Look everyone I have to go; it's ok if I call you later?"
"Sure", I answered. "Call whenever you want and remember you can count with our help"
"Please tell Leah we all care about her", Esme said and everyone else started asking the same thing.
"I am sure she'll be happy to hear that, she misses you guys a lot, although she doesn't always admit it", Dylan said. "Goodbye everyone"
Leah's point of view
From all the missions I ever had, this qualifies as one of the worst. We've been running for days around Europe. According to Demetri we are in some part of Lisbon, Portugal, but I don't really care where we are, I am just too tired to think.
We started following a group of five vampires in Volterra; Felix, Jane and Alec were with us, but we parted somewhere in France when our enemies decided to split.
I don't know why they chose me for this mission, I mean, I know I am fast, but I can't run for all the eternity. I don't even remember when was the last time I slept.
"We will go here and then we'll intercept them here", Demetri said pointing at the map. "Leah are you listening?"
"Ah? Yeah, yes, sounds good"
"You are tired", it wasn't a question.
"Oh, you noticed", I said with sarcasm. "I can run a few more miles", he didn't say anything else and started running; I followed him.
Demetri's gift amazes me; he can find anyone no matter how good he or she hides. I asked him long ago how exactly it worked, but is something he doesn't even understand. He says he just has to picture the image of a person in his head and then he knows where he or she is. It doesn't work with werewolves, fortunately, but if he ever wants to find me, it will just take him a couple of seconds.
Fortunately, the leeches that we are following don't have any special gift or power, but they are real fast.
"They split again", Demetri suddenly said.
"Tell me where the other one is", I asked while we kept running along on the roof of a house.
"Are you sure of this?"
"Just tell me where the girl is!"
"Keep running till the end of the street, she is trying to reach the big plaza"
Without even turning to look at him again I followed his indications; this time the little leech is not going to be able to escape. Her scent is fresh and I didn't have trouble to find her; she was hiding behind some boxes in the end of an alley. I took my dagger out of my belt and I prepare to attack, but the image of the girl stopped me.
She is just a little scare girl, she is probably just thirteen, blond curls, petite structure, very white skin, red lips and red eyes; she looks thirsty, really thirsty, but terrify at the same time.
"Please don't kill me, please don't kill me", she pleaded putting her arms around her knees and hiding her head behind her hair.
Her words and her actions awakened my human part and I lowered my dagger; I have to be careful, this could be a trick.
"What's your name?" I asked her.
"Please don't hurt me"
"It's ok, just answer my questions"
"Ja… Jamie"
"Tell me Jamie, do you know why we are chasing you?"
"No…no… Brian said that we have to escape, that his enemies were close, that you wanted to kill us"
"Brian is your leader?"
"Please don't kill me!"
"I am not going to hurt you if you help me Jamie, calm down"
"I am… I am thirsty"
"I know you are, but you have to control it Jamie, you can do it, you just have to practice"
"I am thirsty"
"Did Brian or anyone from your coven ever talk to you about the rules?"
"The rules?"
"Jamie your coven attacked a bakery full of costumers a week ago; can you remember anything about that?"
"It wasn't my fault. Daniel was out of control, I just followed him and then… I couldn't… I didn't know what to do… I lost control too", she said hiding her head between her knees.
"Jamie you are not supposed to do this kind of things, no matter how thirsty you are", I explained her putting away my dagger. "And you can't let that anyone sees you, you are exposing all the vampires, that's why the Volturi want you dead"
"I won't do it again, I promise! Please don't hurt me!"
"You killed a lot of people Jamie…"
"I'll stop! I don't want to kill people; I don't want to be a murderer!"
"There is another way, you know? You could drink blood from animals instead of humans"
"I can?"
"It won't satisfy you like human blood, but is an honourable way of living", I said kneeling beside her.
"You are going to let me go?" She asked with a scare tone.
"Are you going to be a good vampire from now on?" she nodded. "Promise?"
"Promise", she said showing a shy smile.
"Now listen to me Jamie, the vampires that are with me are going to do everything they can to kill you, they won't listen to me, you have to disappear from this city as soon as you can"
"Where do I go?"
"Run, just run and keep running until you are very far away from here"
"Can I stay with you?"
"No Jamie, you are in danger here, you have to leave now", I said with a serious tone standing up. "Come on; get out of here, now!"
She stood up quickly and started running down the street. Poor girl, I hope she can start a new life, I really hope she does. Now I have to concentrate on my own problems; first, I am exhausted; second, how on earth do I explain this to Demetri?
My thoughts were interrupted when someone attacked me from the back and I ended on the floor. I recognized the scent immediately, is the leech Demetri was following. I stood up as quickly as I could and I turned around to look at him, but he wasn't there anymore. Dammit this leech is fast!
It was too late for me when I finally located him, he lunged at me and he kicked me on my chest. Ok, this hurts, this really hurts. I tried to recover my breath, but before I knew it he was attacking me again. I was able to dodge the first two punches, but he smashed my left shoulder with the third one. I screamed of pain; I don't have enough energy to fight against him, I can't even stand up. He took advantage of my weakness and he grabbed me by the neck with both hands and he put me against the wall. I can't breathe, I can't breathe…
Don't ask me what happened, because I wasn't very conscious to see how exactly happened, but the fact is that Demetri saved me. Somehow he managed to attack the leech from behind and taking my dagger, which was on the floor, he killed the blood sucker with three quick movements.
"And I used to say this thing wasn't useful", Demetri murmured looking at my dagger and starting a fire with my lighter. "Stand up Leah. Leah?"
He knelt beside me and after he made sure I was still alive, he helped me to sit down against the wall.
"Stay calm, everything is fine now, just breathe deeply several times till your heart reaches its normal speed. There you go".
I think I am really dizzy because my mind is showing me a really nice Demetri, yeah, I am probably hallucinating. I focus on recovering my breath and in a couple of minutes I was able to feel my neck again.
"Better?" Demetri asked worried and I nodded. "Let me take a look at your arm", he said kneeling forward. I tried to move away but it was useless, it's just too painful. "Just stay still!" he ordered me.
Demetri tore the sleeve of my shirt and took a look at my injuries.
"I have to put it in the right place", he said.
"What?" I asked confuse.
"Your body is already healing itself, but that vampire dislocated your shoulder, I have to put it in the right place before your body heals itself or this is going to end in a big mess"
"I can do it myself" I said trying to push him apart.
"No you can't, now stop moving!" he exclaimed putting his arms in my shoulder. "Ready? One, two…"
"Ah!"
"Perfect"
"You idiot! You didn't say three!" I screamed angry at him trying to handle the pain.
"I never said I was going to count to three"
"Stupid moron, I hate you!" I exclaimed hitting my head against the wall.
"Stop being so dramatic"
"Dramatic? Let me dislocate your arm and then I'll put it in the right place, let's see how well you handle it", I said with sarcasm.
"I think I am fine just the way I am", he said with a stupid smile, why is he smiling anyway? "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like? I am standing up", I answered and he sighed.
"Sit down", he ordered me. "I said sit down", he said pushing me against the floor.
"Hey! I just want to get out of here!"
"You need to rest, now shut up and stay there"
"Stupid leech", I murmured.
"You are welcome", he said.
"I wasn't thanking you", I told him angrily.
"You know, every time you get in trouble I rescue you, and never, in this six months, you have never ever thank me"
"So what?" I said looking away.
"This time I am going to make you pay"
I didn't answer; I just stared at him as if he had gone crazy. What is he trying to say? I am sitting on the floor against the wall and he is kneeling right beside me. I hadn't realized how close we were, and now that I think about it, I don't like it, this is very uncomfortable.
"What do you say Leah?"
"Stay away from me", I tried to move apart but is useless, I am cornered.
"Where are you going? I am not going to hurt you, I just want something in exchange for my services", he said getting closer. "A kiss maybe?"
Say what? He has to be kidding me? Ok, my hallucination just turned into a nightmare. Hasn't he realized what he is doing? He is about to kiss his mortal enemy! I don't want to kiss him! There are like a billion reasons why this shouldn't be happening, what's wrong with him?
I moved my head apart but he grabbed my chin with his right hand and he leaned forward. His scent is burning my nose, and no matter how hard I try I can't get away from him, I am just too tired and he is too strong. Please someone stop this, please!
Demetri was about to kiss me when a strange scent reached the alley and he turned around angrily to look at the intruder.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here"
Dylan! Thank god he is here. Demetri stood up and I moved a little bit to be able to look at my imprint. Oh no, he looks angry, really angry.
"Dylan"
"Demetri"
I know they fought against each other in the past, but I didn't know they knew each other so well, I mean, they are looking at each other with some kind of rivalry, or that's because of me?
"And who do we have here?" Dylan said looking at me pretending he didn't know me.
"Stay back, this is between you and me", Demetri said standing in front of me. "I am going to distract him, get out of here and return to the castle", he whispered at me in a very low voice and I nodded.
"Planning to leave?" Dylan asked ready to fight.
Demetri ran against my imprint but he dodged him easily. Demetri continued attacking making Dylan move backwards; he is trying to make him moved away from the alley so I can get away. I am sure Dylan is acting; he probably wants me to get away too. My suspicions were confirmed when I got the opportunity to get away from the alley, as soon as I reached the street Dylan stopped making defence movements and started attacking.
I am not sure what to do; Demetri wants me to return to the castle, but what about Dylan? My strength only allowed me to walk to the next corner and leaned against the wall to support myself.
"Leah! Are you ok?" I looked up to find the twins running at me.
"Don't worry, we are going to take care of you", Robert lifted me bride style and we all turned to look at the battle on the next street.
"Whoa, that is not going to end well", Tyler said and Robert gave him a severe look. "Oh, sorry Leah, is just that those two usually go to far when they fight"
"Thanks for your comments Tyler", Robert said with sarcasm looking at my terrified expression. "Let's go"
"No, wait!" I asked. "Leave me here, you can go and help Dylan, I'll be fine"
"That's impossible", Robert said.
"Please go help him"
"Is not what you think Leah", Tyler explained while the twins jumped to the roof of a house to get a better view and to find a save place for me. "There are several reasons why we can't join that fight. First of all, Dylan would kill us if we leave you alone"
"He wanted to help you from the moment that leech appeared, the one who dislocated your arm, but we stopped him, we are not supposed to intervene, but when Demetri appeared…" Robert started saying and he exchange a look with his brother.
"What?" I asked impatient.
"He went crazy, he just can't stand that leech, and when he got closer to you…" Tyler explained. "I've never seen him like that before"
"He is going to kill Demetri", I murmured.
"No he is not", Robert said.
"But you just said…"
"Dylan and Demetri have been fighting against each other for more than one hundred years", Tyler said. "But they can't kill each other"
"Didn't he tell you?" Robert asked me when he saw my confuse expression. "Leah Dylan is Demetri's brother"
Raise your hands how many of you didn't expect that. So, what do you think? What do you think is going to happen? What would you like to happen? You already notice I am a review addict, so press that little button, it won't take you more than a minute. Have a nice day and please review!
