Interesting shit up ahead.
Enjooyyyy!
Chapter 20: Dreams
B POV
I have not felt so light and less stressed since…well if I'm honest since last night before I blacked out, but consciously, I haven't felt this good since the day Edward and I first got together. I snuggle into his chest sporadically and lightly kissing his sternum, still straddling him, still half clothed. His arms are wrapped protectively around me running circuits up and down my back.
"Edward…" I whisper quietly.
"Hmmm?" He responds lightly.
"I know that this is terrible and I really don't want to, but am more than obligated to." I start. "However, I do have to go to this stupid council meeting at Billy and Jake's, like now."
"Oh," he moves slightly, sitting straighter as I peel my cheek from his chest and look up at his face. "Okay, but promise you'll come back to me as soon as you're done?"
"Absolutely." I lean to capture his lips with mine. "Where do you want me to meet you?"
"Right here." He gives me a half-smile. I giggle and nod as I lean in and press my lips to his once more.
I scramble off of his lap and look down. The world goes a little askew as I see how high up we are. There's a good football field between us and the ground.
"Here," he chuckles. "Lemme help you down." He wraps my hands around his neck and I wrap my legs around his waist. He agilely leaps from limb to limb, swinging and leaping until his feet are planted firmly on the ground. I disentangle myself from around him and stand before him.
"Better?" He quirks an eyebrow at me.
"Much. Wolves aren't meant to climb." I retort.
"So umm, whatcha gonna do about these?" He grabs two handfuls of my breasts and squeezes.
"I was thinking of getting them enlarged, what do you think, would double D's suffice?" His gaze turns serious and he growls slightly.
"You better not fucking think about it." He hisses.
I laugh out loud and wrap my arms around his neck. "Yeah right, if I got implants they'd end up in my ass after my first phase."
"I meant you're not just gonna show up topless with a hole in your crotch at the council meeting are you?"
"Not quite, I think I'd give half of them a heart attack of I did. I have clothes caches around the woods, one right outside of Jake's place. I'll stop by there and change before."
"Nice thinking." He smiles and kisses me again.
"Thanks, but I gotta get going. I'll meet you here in a bit."
"I'll be here, although I may have to run home and change."
"Alrighty." I snatch one more kiss before I turn and walk back through the forest. With one last wave behind my back and an air kiss I phase, letting my already screwed pants get obliterated.
Hey Bella! Leah's thoughts bombard me. Wow, so you're back with Edward, saw that one coming.
Ugh, yes. I hate that this wolf link is so fast, but yes, we made up. Twice apparently, but I can only remember the second time.
Well, congrats! But, do you have any idea about what the hell this whole committee thing is about? Leah stops outside the border of Jake's yard so that she can wait for me and finish our little conversation.
None whatsoever. I know I'll have to tell everyone that Edward and I are back together, other than that I couldn't say. I sniff out the backpack with the space bag of clothes that I left. I'm phasing, I'll be there in a sec.
Alright Bells! With that Leah phases back and I'm left in silence. I phase back and dress quickly.
As I make my way into the clearing a cackle of laughter rings out and I smile. There's only pack members, Billy and a couple of the other elders, there's nowhere near as many people as the last meeting. The food is nearly all gone but I manage to get a hold of a couple of hot dogs and a bag of chips to myself.
"Ok everyone have a seat." Billy calls out above the dying chatter. "Ok so many are wondering why I've called this meeting. Something has come to light that I find important to share. Bella," he nods to me and gives me a stern look. My eyes snap up and I swallow back my nerves. "It has come to my attention that you and Edward had a…tiff. Is that correct?"
"Yes," I nod quickly. "However, I have just come from seeing him. We have worked things out and everything's just fine, more than fine actually." A few snickers ring out from around the gathered members of the pack.
"Well that's…interesting, and definitely pertains to what I am going to be divulging tonight. Now, I know that many of you will have comments-" he gives Jacob a pointed glare. "-but I am asking you to hold your tongue until I have finished what I need to say."
All heads bob in understanding and settle into their seats a little more.
"There is a legend I have not shared with all of you. It is one that speaks of a prophecy. It began with the great chieftain Taha Aki. Before he left our tribe, never to be seen in his warrior spirit form again, he had a dream. In his dream he envisioned a cold one with eyes as green as the leaves on a budding sprout." Edward? "He also saw a girl, a pale-skin girl, with hair the same shade as her eyes, brown as the earth." Every pair of eyes in the circle lands on me.
"In this dream he had, the brown-haired girl and the green-eyed cold one were embracing as lovers do when she suddenly shifted into the form of a Great Spirit Wolf." I shiver in response, how could these be happening?
"However, Taha Aki's feeling in his dream was not one of immense anger or hatred. He was filled with great love and pride. For he knew that these two young lovers were destined to change the world we know. He passed on the knowledge that if this event were to come to pass, our tribe would have to face a great danger, but that we would also gain a fierce ally." Billy lets the last bit seep in before beginning again.
"That was only the first dream Taha Aki had of these two lovers. As time went on he had more dreams of this young female wolf wielding a great power. A power so potent that if she could tap into it she could change the pack, forever. I believe I now know what he was referring to. Bella," he turns to me. "Is it true that a few days ago you managed to separate your mind from the pack? That you blocked their thoughts from yours and yours from theirs?"
"Yes, but it was because I was angry and hurt and wanted to be left alone. I didn't try to do anything." I argue nervously. "I don't have a special power. I'm only a wolf on some fluke. I shouldn't be in this group, the only reason I am is because a man's wife took pity upon another woman. I shouldn't be here, I shouldn't be here." I sob to myself as I rock back and forth. Leah's hand on my back barely registers as the shock of the situation descends upon me.
"So wait a second." Jacob stands. "Because the Great Chieftain had a dream of one of those blood sucking ticks and a young girl we are now shaking in our boots?"
"Do you doubt the Great Chieftain?" Sam stands up to him.
"Well," Jacob splutters. "No, but-"
"Then I suggest you take a seat." He phrases it more as a command then a suggestion and Jacob whithers back into his seat. "Now to me, this sounds exactly as Billy is suggesting. Bella," he motions to me. "Pale face, brown hair, brown eyes. Edward, obviously a cold one, who has green eyes?" He looks at me for confirmation and I nod. "They imprint, causing her to phase and join us. Then they have a small argument, causing Bella to tap into some power where she can detach herself from the link that connects us." He pauses to allow himself and others to think things over and nod in agreement.
"The only thing that we are now need to ponder is what kind of danger Taha Aki was referring to, whether it is domestic or something is resulted between these two simply being together. Bella has Edward mentioned anything? Any reason he may be in danger?"
"Not exactly," I pipe. "He showed up here because he was running from something that happened in New York, but I don't know how that would transfer into danger."
"Hmm," Sam rubs his chin forcefully. "I think we need to speak to him. Do you think you can go find him and bring him here?"
"BUT!" Jacob jumps up again but Sam stops him with a stern look and a hand gesture.
"I can ask, I don't know if he would be comfortable joining us on our territory and alone."
"Very well," Sam nods. "How about I contact the Cullens and set up a time and place for us to meet all of them?"
"Well, Carlisle kicked him out?" I quietly disagree.
"Why?" He huffs.
"Carlisle isn't happy about him and I to say the least. He kicked him out because he thought by doing so he could protect him and his family from the wolves retaliation. He doesn't want to risk a war between them and us, when he found out that Edward had bitten me, well things got violent and Edward ended up not welcome at their home any longer."
"Ahh, well I will contact him anyway and tell him that we understand there needs to be some boundaries reorganized and stipulations looked over. Why don't you go find Edward now and ask him about it as well. Tell him that we would like him there as well, considering the treaty we have is with each individual and not just the group."
"Alright, I will." I nod and look up at him. He stares at me expectantly for a minute.
"Are you going to go ask him to join now? Even if he does say no?"
"Oh yeah, okay." I stand and lope off in to the woods. I strip behind a large tree and return my clothing to the hidden backpack.
I phase quickly and return to my love. As I run the weirdest image sneaks into my brain. The dream I had a while ago before Edward and I got involved. A dream of me chasing something, Jacob following. Edward on a cliff, followed by him soaring through the air to land on another creature. But this time, it isn't Mike, it's another cold one. Another vampire who looks deadlier than any other vampire I've seen to date.
Was that just a dream? Or was it something that will come to pass? I can't help but feel it's the latter, but how? Why? When?
How about some recc's?
