We follow Jacob for two miles, listening to him whimpering and whining all the way. We come to a screeching halt when we bounce off the invisible force field, that Scarlet has put up around her and a dozen or more newborn vampires. We split and take different points around the field. Scar's crouched down in front of a large wolf, swiping and growling at the vampires in front of her. Never taken her eyes from the vamps, she lifts the injured wolf up and sends him thru the force field with the greatest of ease and right at my feet. So I yell for Carlisle. I be damned if I know how to help him.
When Carlisle gets to the wolf I turn my attention back to Scar and leave him to do his job. What I see scares the hell out of me. The newborns have surround her and are slowly closing in. On the other side banging and screaming to be let in are Jasper and a human Jacob. Scarlet stands straight up and howls, then I along with Jazz, Jake, and Emmett watch wide-eyed as fifteen newborns rush in on her.
"NO, SCARLET!" I scream and start beating even harder on the force field in front of me. I hear Jazz and Jake roaring and going crazy as Scarlet disappears underneath the newborn vamps. C'mon little darlin' fight!
A loud roar comes from beneath the newborns and I watch in awe as vamps go flying. Scar reaches out to the closest vamp, grabs him by the throat and walks him toward Jazz and Jake. She stands in front of them for a few seconds then tosses the vampire thru the force field right at them. I run over to them, Emmett meets me there. Jazz must have felt our emotions, cause we didn't even have to ask what we wanted to know.
"Scar wants this one alive, she wants to know who made and sent them."
"How do you know bro, she's in her beast form." Emmett ask.
"So."
"So that means if she's anything like us, when she's in that mode she's pure animal." I remind him.
"She didn't have to say anything or be reasonable! I could tell by the look in her eyes, if you'll pay attention sometimes ya can tell what she wants just by looking into her eyes."
I nod not wanting to argue with him, then go back to watching Scar. I've never seen anything like what I'm witnessing now. Scarlet has conjured a lighting storm inside the protective dome she created and bright pink lighting with streaks of red is striking the vamps that she's not chasing down. The ones that she's running down are being ripped limb from limb and are being lit on fire as she runs off after the next one.
Soon there's nothing left but ashes and burning bodies. She turns her focus on Carlisle and the injured wolf he's trying to help and lets out a low warning growl. I hear him trying to talk to her as she slowly stalks toward him.
"Scarlet, it's me Carlisle. I'm not going to hurt Seth, I want to help." She doesn't seem to understand what he's saying she just keeps growling and stalking forward. I look to Jazz.
"Told ya so, pure animal."
"Shut up Peter I don't care what ya say animal or not I know what she wants!"
"Fine, Jazz ya win but we've got to stop her, she's gonna kill Carlisle if we don't, family or not she's seein' him as a threat to the wolf!"
Jazz and I rip apart the newborn so he can't escape or hurt one of us. Then all of us take off to the other side. Jake, Emmett and I place ourselves in front of Carlisle and the wolf. Jasper walks to the force field, places his hand on it and starts talking to her.
"Scar, come back to me, to Jake we need ya darlin'." She stops her approach and stares at him but still doesn't change back. Jacob moves to stand next to Jazz., turning Scar's attention on him and starts speaking to her.
"Scarlet, honey lift the force field, let us in." Recognition sweeps across her face and just as the shape shifter had done earlier, Jasper and Jacob pass thru the field with ease. Now's our chance. I turn to Carlisle.
"Get the wolf out of here and back to yer house!"
"His name is Seth and he shouldn't be moved."
"We got no choice doc, get Seth and get the hell out of here while they got Scar's attention!" He scoops the wolf up in his arms and runs off in the direction of the house. I take a quick glance over at Emmett then turn my attention back to our queen.
Jazz and Jake are now a few feet from her, standing stark ass still while she stares them down. Scar stands and moves toward them. When she's close enough Jazz and Jake take the chance and reach for her. Scar sits down on her haunches and allows both of them to rub her muzzle and stroke her fur.
I want to laugh when she starts purring but decide against it, now doesn't seem like the best time. That's shit's funny, who'd da thought werewolves purr.
Jazz leans in and whispers something to her. Even with vampire hearing, I only caught a couple of words, please and darling. Whatever he says works, Scarlet stands to her full height, lets out a loud howl, then transform back into her human form. She's as naked as a jaybird. Jasper and Jake cover all but her head from our view. Jazz claims her lips with his. When he pulls back, Jacob does the same. They're brought out of their little moment when Emmett starts yelling.
"Hey sissy, what the hell do you want to do with that!" We all turn eyes to him, he's pointing at he vamp Jazz and I had ripped apart. Jasper for once not concerned about the scars that cover his upper body, takes his shirt off and covers Scar. When he gets done, Scar spins around smiles wide then waves us over. When we reach her Em gives her a big hug, then I take her into my arms.
"Little darlin' ya scared the hell out of me, don't ever lock us out again!"
"I'm sorry Peter, but I had to protect y'all and keepin' ya locked out was the best way, besides I was alright I had it covered."
"Ok, was that before or after ya were swallowed up by vamps!"
"Both, I let them cover me."
"Why?! Are ya crazy?! We could have lost ya today, because you let them get the best of you!" Jazz shouts out. Scar takes his face in her hands.
"Look at me, Jazz it's my job to protect you, Jake, the family, my wolves and other supernatural beings from the bad guys. So if I have to trick them into thinkin' they can win by over powerin' force then that's what I'll do. I'm not sorry I did what I did and I'll do it again in a heartbeat if it means protectin' ya or someone I love!" Jazz wraps his arms around her.
"Darlin I'm sorry I shouted and I know what yer job is, but in case you've forgotten let me remind ya. My job is to protect you." I clear my throat. This is so gonna piss the Major off.
"Actually that's my job Jazz." He glares at me.
"That's only if Jake or I can't." I shake my head.
"No Jazz, it's all the time." He growls at me.
"No it's my job, she's my soul mate!" Jake cuts in.
"Hey she's my mate also, so it's my job to protect her!"
"STOP IT!" Scar shouts at us.
"It's all of yers alright!"
"Alright darlin', as long as yer protected. I still don't want ya to put yerself in harm's way though. For us or anyone else cause if yer killed I'm dead anyway."
"He's right honey, if you die protecting us then you die in vain cause after we destroy the bastards that did it we'll be coming with you." Scar starts to retort but Emmett stops her.
"Hey can all of you discuss this later, we got a newborn vamp to put back together and question." Scar rolls her eyes.
"Ok Emmy, you and Jake go get us a couple of animals, while Peter and I help Jazz put him back together."
"Honey I want to stay here with you."
"I know Jake, but ya don't have venom so you'll be more help gettin' the blood we need, so please go help Emmett."
"But Scar you don't have venom either. What will you be able to do?"
"I can protect them, Jake. So will ya please go and help Emmett!" Jake grumbles but agrees and runs off into the trees with Emmett. I turn to Scar bow to her, then hold out my hand and say with a grin.
"Shall we get started my queen?"
"Peter, yer an ass ya know that."
"Yep." She cracks a smile, then starts laughing.
"Well c'mon little darlin' let's get this show on the road. Oh, by the way what happened to yer clothes? I've seen ya shift and ya never lose them!"
"To much pain, that shiftin' is a hell of a lot more painful than the other two. I couldn't keep my focus on those damn things, I'll buy new ones!"
"Ok, just wonderin'."
"Can we get started now, Peter?"
"Sure, why not." Scar leads the way to the pieces of vamp.
"Do y'all think ya tore him up enough?" Jazz smiles.
"No darlin', we would've tore him up more but we were sorta tryin' to keep ya from rippin' Carlisle a new one."
"Oh, no I didn't hurt him did I Jazz!"
"No baby ya didn't, Jake and I manged to talk ya back to yerself."
"Shoo, ya had me worried there for a sec." I toss my arm around her.
"Now don't ya worry little darlin' we'd never let ya hurt someone ya love."
"Thanks Peter."
"No sweat little darlin." I look to Jazz.
"Let's get to work." He nods then picks up an arm, while I grab the torso. We had just finished fusing the second arm back on when Jake and Em return. Jake drops a mountain lion at Scar's feet and Em tosses a white tail deer right next to it. Jacob wraps his arms around her and kisses her on the head, then looks down at us.
"Y'all ready yet?" Jazz nods
"Just as soon as we attach the head, when we do get Scarlet back." I see Scar roll her eyes but she keeps quite. I grab the head.
"Ya ready Jazz."
"Yeah Peter, let's do this." I place the vamps head on his shoulders then Jazz and I lick our hands and spread venom around the wound. His head fuses back with no problem. We hold the mountain lion up to his mouth and he quickly latches on. When he's done he eyes the deer. Scarlet huffs.
"Ya can have it after ya answer my questions!" He nods.
"Question one. What's yer name?" He doesn't say a word.
"I asked what yer name is!" He remains silent.
"Ok, fine ya want to do this the hard way, I'm game." A wall of flames spring up around him, the wind picks up and starts blowing the flames toward him. He tries moving away from them, but no matter where he moves to the fire is waiting. When he starts to scream Scar pulls the flames away. Scar grins at him.
"Ready to talk now?" He nods.
"Good! Now what's yer name?"
"Jordan."
"Alright Jordan, tell me who made ya."
"I don't know."
"Aw, Jordan ya were doing so good."
"I swear I don't know I woke up in a barn with the ones you destroyed, we only met two people and neither was like us." Jazz, Jake and I step forward.
"What were they then?" Jake ask. Jordan looks up at Scar.
"Like her." We all look at one another, Jasper turns back to him.
"They were werewolves?"
"Yes, male and female."
"Did ya happen to catch their names."
"Yes sir, Jerome and Brandy." Scar roars to the heavens and the ground around us splits open and chunks of lava come spewing out.
"I'm gonna kill that no good son of a bitch! I'll bury him so far down into the earth, scientist will think he's from the fuckin dinosaur age!" Scar yells. Jazz wraps his arms around her and hugs her close.
"Darlin' ya have ta calm down, there's nothin' ya can do now so relax."
"Relax ya want me ta relax, when there's a crazy ass s-o-b out there trying to kill everything I love and take me for himself!" Scarlet blinks herself free from Jaspers arms and reappears in front of the newborn. She graps him by his hair and drags him toward her little canyon of death. At the edge she lets go of his hair and graps him along the jaw line. With one hand she lifts him above her head and holds him over the opened earth.
"Where are the ones that sent ya!?" He screams then yells.
"I don't know!"
"Lier! If ya don't tell me where they are, I'll drop yer sorry ass!"
"I DON'T KNOW!" Scar pulls the vamp toward her till they're nose to nose, sniffs him then whispers.
"I believe you." She turns and tosses him back at us, then starts walking back. Scar stops mid stride and stares at us. Jasper runs to her.
"Scar, what's wrong!?"
"Jasper?"
"Yeah, darlin'?"
"Which wolf did that piece of shit and his friends attack?" Jasper holds her closer.
"It was Seth, darlin'." She buries her face into his chest and sobs. I hate standing here listening to her cry, so I walk over and ask nicely if I can talk to her. Jasper reluctantly agrees. I pull her to me and hug her tight.
"Little darlin' please calm down, we ain't gonna let that jackass get away with this. We'll stop him, sugar and we'll be alright, so stop worrying." She opens her mouth but I stop her.
"I said don't worry ok, we'll be fine." I feel her relax in my arms and the ground begins to put itself back together. After a few minutes I pull her back to look at me.
"Feel better now?"
"No Peter I don't but I need to keep my emotions in check, before I get us killed."
"Now how ya figure that, little darlin'."
"Because my dear Peter an emotional opponent is a distracted opponent. Now back to business." She turns to Jordan.
"Can ya tell me why ya got sent here?"
"We were told to come here and attack and kill the first shape shifter we came across, but to make it look like a random attack."
"How'd ya know ya got it right?"
"They told us that they'd look like normal wolves, only bigger. A lot bigger."
"What did they tell ya to get ya to come here and attack something that's never done anything ta ya!"
"Jerome said that the shape shifters here were trying to wipe out the vampire race, with the help of a powerful werewolf and it was our job to team up with him and others to take down the threat." Scar turns to us.
"Jazz, Peter can ya get the rest of him." Jake moves to stand behind her.
"You sure about this honey."
"Yep, I'm tired I want to go home rest and check on my wolf, then I would like to leave Forks for a while, I want to go somewhere new and maybe leave my troubles behind for a little while."
"Ok honey we'll go where ever you want." He wraps his arms around her shoulders and nuzzles her neck. Jazz and I bring the vamps legs over and lay them down next to him, then turn back to Scar. She looks at the vamp then smiles.
"I really thank ya for yer help but ya attacked one of my wolves. So, I can't let ya live." We turn our backs to him, then walk off listening to him scream as he burns.
