Chapter 21 – Trouble with Dogs
Sam's POV
That girl was strange. She wasn't anything we've come across before. The only few things we knew about her were that she was with the Cullens, she wasn't just passing through and she was a force to be reckoned with. I think we should keep an eye on her.
I've added to our patrols to incorporate the girl. The guys weren't too happy about it, but they did it anyway. She hasn't done anything that was strange since our first encounter with her. We need to get more information on her.
Jacob. I called in my head.
Yes, Sam? He responded instantly.
You need to make friends with that strange girl and find out everything you can about her.
Okay. I'll do my best.
He shifted back to human to try to find the girl. I could still hear what he was thinking, but I couldn't see where he was.
Not long after Jacob had shifted, he had found the girl. She was sitting in a small clearing on their side of the line. Jacob sat down next to her and started to talk to her. She was talking back to him sometimes. It wasn't a very long conversation, but we got enough information for now.
She was called Isabella, she was 15 and she is a witch.
Edward's POV
Izzy came home from hanging out in the woods. She came into the living room and sat next to me.
"How was your time in the woods?" I asked her once she had settled into the sofa.
"It was okay. Some guy called Jacob Black visited me."
I stiffened at the mention of the name. "What did you talk about?"
"What's to do around town and things about ourselves. Why?"
"I think you should stay away from Jacob and his friends." I said gently, "They're a part of that shape shifter group you saw before."
She appeared shocked by this and tried to stutter out some way that it couldn't possibly be true. Something was coursing through my system, it wasn't a good feeling; to see Izzy have to understand that now she has a friend, she has to say goodbye to that person. I didn't like taking things away from her, I wanted to give her things.
We're going to have to sort out these massive dogs. They can't get away with messing with my girl. I'll get everyone organized to redo the treaty. We'll have Carlisle talk to their alpha again, sort something out that will keep the mutts away.
I'd kill them all if that was the only way to solve the problem.
