The Singer Connection
Chapter 37
APOV
If I didn't think the cafeteria was creepy before, I do now. Sam and I had the honor of joining Emmett and Paul in our rescue attempt at the high school. Honestly, I hate being teamed up with the wolves at times like these. I cant see anything! We were the luckiest of the teams, since the cafeteria was nestled behind all the other buildings it was nicely hidden. But the nicest thing was Emmett vast knowledge of all the nocks and crannies, which Rose and he had discovered when they needed a little private time…to put it politely. Alright, so they screwed their way through Folks High. What can I say, they gave bunny's a run for their money!
"Okay…so here is the plan. Right here is a storeroom exit, I know its not on the map but trust me it's there. If we enter here, we come out to an old storeroom underneath the cafeteria. All we have to do is locate any carnivores and rip them through the floor." Emmett looked so proud of himself it was hard not to smile at him.
"But we have to time it perfectly so the others don't have a chance to move against us. Everyone set their watches so we're in sync, we move exactly at two o'clock not a second later got it," when we all nodded Sam finished "Let's move into position." The door was right where Emmett promised it would be. I chuckled when he didn't even stop to open it; he just went right through it like a bulldozer.
It seemed they spread out so each carnivore was located at each corner of the cafeteria. We all could still see each other, so the count down began. As Sam counted down on his fingers, we all ready ourselves, 3-2-1. The minute he dropped his last finger we slammed our fists and grabbed them by their feet, pulling them down to our level. You couldn't even hear the screaming over the sounds of twisting metal as we tore their heads off. It kind of reminded me of synchronized swimming. Of course we high tailed it out of there before anyone came to see what happened. If the students were smart they would make themselves disappear before any re-enforcements showed up. The only problem with our plan was we had no idea if anyone had been bitten and not drained. Alas, we had a plan for that one; We would just have to wait for them to be taken to the hospital and in the chaos steal them away before anyone had a chance to examine them. So with that in mind we started back; we didn't get far when my phone went off.
"Yes Edward?"
"The Reservation is over run. We're meeting at the isolation cabin to meet up with anyone who isn't locked in the bunker."
"Is Jazz safe?"
"We can't reach him, which probably means he safely below protecting everyone."
"I hope so."
"Hurry Alice!" I'd never get use to hearing his voice sound panicked.
"We're on our way." My feet were moving before I'd even hung up my phone.

Honestly…I was so worried about Bella; what if they were caught before we got there? I knew the kids were safe in the bunker. Times like these I could care less that Jasper spent a million dollars on the place. To me…it was worth it. The same went for all the toys that he bought from underground sources. All I could hope was that they worked.
"BELLA!" I shouted when I saw her.
"Edward!" she screamed as she flashed to me.
"Oh, thank god your safe," I said as I pulled her into my embrace. Okay, so I pawed her to make sure all the pieces were there, sue me!
"Do you think the kids are safe?" I really don't like to see worry lines on my wife's forehead.
"Yeah, I think so. They're okay as long as they're in the bunker." At least that's what I'm praying for! "So, Sam, what's the plan?"
"Well let's see; we have ten pack members here, another six are at their posts and we have ten veggies. So, I say we take them down all at once. If we rush them they shouldn't see us coming."
"The down fall to that, dude…is if they are holding anyone that didn't make it to the bunker." Emmett was right on this, but we had few options open to us.
"I know, but if we take them down one at a time they might have enough time to grab more people as shields." Sam had a point.
We all watched as Sam plotted out the rescue of La Push. We wanted our Rez back.

To say we were freaked out when Jake called and told us about the high school, would be a vast understatement. Irina, Kate, Sue, and I were shopping in Seattle for Kevin's birthday. He didn't want us to come back but at the same time, they needed us to comeback there. I hate when he's torn like that. I knew after last year he was all over me physically. Don't get me wrong, my loverboy has total permission for that. But sometimes…I wasn't sure of the why. Did we make love to make love, because he thought he almost lost me, or was it just pent up frustration? The last year was the only time since Jake and I met, that I wasn't sure of his love for me. I know that sounds strange but lets admit it, he's never once mentioned marriage since we met 13 years ago.
Since the reservation was in lockdown and everyone else was at the high school; we decided to slip into the hospital and make sure no one showed up bitten or had seen anything. We made a quick change in hospital scrubs that we had bought on the way home. We were allowed through under the pretense that we were volunteers from Seattle coming to help. It surprised me how easy it really was to get in. of course once inside we split up headed into different departments. How did I ended up getting the morgue? I'll never know.
I really wasn't expecting to find anything, but I did. One of our tribal cops named John had arrived, and was left in the hallway waiting for the tribe to pick him up for burial, but he wasn't quite dead yet. He would have been if I hadn't heard an almost unhearable heartbeat. He had one chance and it was me. As much as I hated to do it, I did it anyways. I pulled him into the service elevator and out to an ambulance. Sue was ready for me as she signed for the body's release. Sue was driving as I bit his wrists and ankles, forcing in as much venom as I could. We had strapped him down first, in case he started thrashing. I knew the venom would close the wounds caused by the newborn claws. We parked him at Bella's old house under the protection of our vault guards. Those guys were as loyal as they come. Irina had called, she and Kate found nothing incriminating but did go to the morgue and covered the bite marks with slashes making them look like knife wounds instead.
We weren't sure where to go next, so we carried on our ruse and headed for the high school. Yeah, they totally bought it and let us pass. Watching the chaos at the school was definitely interesting. No one saw when Edward left the science building but us of course. I was never so relieved to see Jake followed him in their escape. Unfortunately…a lot of people saw the russet colored wolf escape. Everyone started talking on their radios about different colored wolves that were sprinting away. The new conclusion was the horse sized wolves that once terrorized the town of Folks were back. Well...I guess they won't worry about finding the bad guys, so that worked to our advantage. Doing our magic as we went through all the dead, we made sure any bite victim looked like they had claw marks. I called Edward knowing Jake would try to protect me.
"Edward, where are you guys headed?"
"We're meeting at the isolation cabin. La Push has been over run so we'll be striking back from there."
"Just so you know the story the cops are using is that giant wolves attacked the school. Of course the witness will have a different story."
"Right, well…we will see what happens from here." I could hear he was distracted as he hung up. We met up with them thirty minutes later.
"Jake, baby are you okay?" I couldn't wait to grab him and hug him senseless.
"Yeah Doll, I'm good…but I wish you…weren't here," he manage to mutter out between kisses.

"Get a room all ready, will you. We have some business to take care of." Man you two are worse then Edward and Bella!
"What's the plan Sam? And don't think I didn't here that." I just smirked. I knew Edward would hear my thoughts.
"The way I see it, we need to rush them. If they have anyone like Edward or Alice, they might have a chance to grab shields. So for the next hour everyone fan out around the perimeter, we move in at ten o'clock sharp."
Watching all the couples marking each other made me miss Emily. I know she had to hide; she wasn't trained yet, and the bunker needed some form of defense.

"Edward, I love you." I stepped out of his embrace; that's never something I am ever happy about.
"I love you too Bella," I could never get tired of hearing him say that.
I hated that we weren't going together but I understood we needed to cover as much territory as possible. At least I can see Edward's okay but I can't see if the twins are and that scares me more then anything. After seeing Leah thrown around like a rag doll, I can't but help to worry about the rest of the family that I can't see. The moment we were close enough to the bunker I stretched out my shield hoping to see everyone in the area and it's a good thing I did because there was a carnivore bearing down on Edward's path.
"Edward, in coming!" I screamed in my head hoping he would hear me.
I found I was holding my breath waiting for the outcome. Finally I released it when the blip disappeared off my radar. Unfortunately there were so many other new blips on my radar.

"Uncle Jasper How long are we going to stay here? Everyone is starting to get hungry and thirsty."
"Okay Jessie, I'll make sure to pass out the supplies from the storage closet. Hey kid, thanks for watching out for the human needs I might miss," I just shrugged and walked away. I honestly never gave much though before that I am becoming the protector I was suppose to be, it just came naturally.
I asked Carlie "What do you see sis?"
She simply placed her hands on me and Justin cheeks and flashed us a picture show, it was really disturbing watching all our families fighting to protect us. I couldn't help but wonder how she lived with seeing stuff 24/7 that hadn't happened yet. Her visions were different from Alice's. Alice's came in spurts and sometime required focusing. Carlie's were just there. Whenever she looked at someone the visions would start. Not to mention she had no problem with seeing the shape shifters future as well as humans and vampires.
"Jessie is your shield still up?"
"Yeah Justin, but its getting harder to keep it up, I've never kept it up so long.
