"Jane and Alec will try and take me out first. I can anticipate their moves" I heard Edward say.
"Sorry to interrupted but I'll be back," I say, walking towards to Edward and the others. Eleazar, Edward, Bella, Garrett, and Emmett were sitting down in the living room, talking about the strategies.
"Where are you going?" Edward asked me and I sigh.
"Jake hasn't asked Sam to come and train with us so I'm going over there"
"Why you?" Bella asked. I shrugged and she frowns.
"Don't worry I'll be alright!"
"Do you want me to go with you?" Emmett asked me and I shook my head.
"Carlisle, Jake, and Kellan are with me," I say smiling at him. He nods.
"Be safe," Bella says
"Always am" I smiled at her. I was heading to the front door where Carlisle, Kellan, and Jake were waiting for me, before opening the door I turned back at Edward.
"FYI, they're not going to take you down because you can anticipate their moves. They're going to take you down because they don't like you" I smirk and left.
I heard him mumble 'rude' and the others laughed. Walking outside where Carlisle, Kellan, and Jake were waiting for me by the woods.
"You ready?" Jake asked me smiling.
"Not really," I say sighing.
"Too bad," he says laughing.
"Jerk," I said before I start to run to a house I just to call home.
I stood outside Emily's house, the wolves were waiting for us. There were some boys I didn't know, they probably barely phrased. Sam was in front of the others wolves, indicating that he was in charge, he was the alpha, that he was the boss. I could see Emily, Rachel, and Kim behind two small boys, they were keeping the imprintees inside the house but with the front door wide open. Emily and I briefly made eye contact before I turn to stare at Sam.
Jake moved to the side, leaving us vampires in the middle. He walked over to his small pack, including Embry, Seth, Leah, Quil and the three other boys from the woods were on the right side of Sam's larger pack. A week after our little fight with the wolves, Quil joined Jake's pack to be with his true friends. The other three joined Jake's pack after they phrased, they chose his pack instead of Sam's. Carlisle moved behind to my left side, leaving me in the middle of the boys. Indicating that I was in charge that I was boss. Kellan was on my right side, he didn't let his guard down for a second.
I was staring at Sam, waiting for him to speak, since this was his territory I was going to respect that. Sam didn't respond, he was busy staring at me. It was quiet and tense, you could feel the intensity of this moment. Jared and Paul were staring back at me and Sam, waiting to see who'll speak up first. No one dared to say anything, waiting to find out what will happen. After a few minutes, Sam took a few steps forward, in the corner of my eyes I would see Kellan and Carlisle stiff a little. Kellan squared his shoulder up, ready for anything and Carlisle was probably coming up with the fastest way to get me out of the way, if Sam attacked. Jake moved a little closer to us, showing Sam that he'll protect us if he decides to do something. I also saw Paul and Jared, moved a little. I heard Emily's breath hitched when Sam moved.
"What brings you here to our land?" Sam asked.
I didn't reply right away, I gave it a few more seconds to just slightly piss off Sam. I knew that he didn't like it when someone didn't answer him right away. He knew what I was doing and he didn't like it one bit, his left eye twitched in annoyance.
"Once again, we came to ask for your help,"I say holding my head up high. I wasn't going to show any weakness, especial at this moment. Sam narrowed his eyes at me.
"I know this battle doesn't have anything to do with any of you"
"Damn right" I heard Paul whisper, he smirked at me but I ignored him and continue.
"But with your assistance, it'll truly be a win for us," I say.
"Why should we help you?" Sam asked.
I won't lie it did hurt talking to Sam like we were complete strangers. I didn't like that I couldn't call him by his nickname or laugh with him like we used too. I missed the way he would call my name, NANI. I missed the morning wake-ups, the smell of fresh coffee Emily makes, or the loudness of the house whenever the boys would come over. I missed Emily's cooking, I missed her sweet goodnight kisses, I missed watching chick flicks with her, crying when a sad part came on or the way Sam would roll his eyes at Jared and Paul's childish fights. I missed my boys, I missed playing soccer on the beach and having a bonfire. I missed the girls and our girl's night and sometimes I had to drag Leah with us. I missed my family.
"An imprint's life is in dangered. Your law says that no matter what you'll help them," Sam cut me off.
"Our law states that we aren't allowed to harm the imprint" Sam states.
"And the law states that you'll protect them from any harm," I say staring at him. Sam didn't reply but stayed quiet.
"Look I only came to ask for help because I thought"
"You thought what, Amelia?" Sam says narrowing his eyes at me. Should I or should I not? Fuck it.
"You're an alpha, Sam. You couldn't let anything happen to your family. You wouldn't let anyone harm them. You'll die protecting them. You'll do whatever you can to help out even taking a big risk. Or am I wrong?" I asked but he didn't reply just stared at me.
"I'm taking a big risk coming here to you. Asking for your help, if you want me to be on my hands and knees and beg you're not getting it. I'll find another way to protect them, I've always had. I was brought in this life, kicking and screaming and that's how I'll end. My human life ended in me, kicking and screaming but I kept on fighting. I fought to keep someone I held dear to me alive and safe. I died for love. This life is no different."
Once again he didn't say anything but stared at me. I glanced behind him to look at Emily who had silent tears coming down her faces. I saw Jared and Paul with a guilty expression, why I don't know?
"I thought since you're too damned stubborn and prideful you wouldn't come to me and apologize. So like always I have to be the better person and come to find you, you stupid man" I continued.
Sam's eyes slightly widened, the new boys were staring at me like I grew two head, while the others who knew how we were, they were smirking at me and Emily smiled.
"Tomorrow, same place and time from before" With that I turned around and left, leaving behind an opened mouth alpha, Sam. Carlisle and Kellan followed right behind me.
SAM'S POV:
I watched Amelia leaving with her mate and brother away from my land. I couldn't help but think how much she grew, in maturity not in size or anything. I couldn't help but feel proud and yet sad.I'm not by her side, helping her out, sharing memories with her. She's right, I'm too damn stubborn and prideful to apologize first. But no more.
"So what are you going to do?" Jake asked after a few minutes of silence.
I turn to him and his small pack, they were staring at me; Leah, Embry, Seth, Quil, and Jake were smirking at me, however, the other three were staring at me with confusion and sort of afraid look. I gave Jake the stare and he knew what it meant. I turn to my pack and Paul and Jared somehow already knew my answer, they were smiling at me and the others were waiting for an order.
"Tomorrow we're training along with Amelia and the others,"I say looking at them. Emily came running towards me and hugged me.
"I have a lot to apologize to her,"I said whispering to her. She pulls away and stares at me with tears in her eyes. I wiped away a fallen tear.
"And she'll forgive you," she says and I smiled at her.
Jake suddenly starts to laugh. We all stare at him as if he lost his mind. Once he starts to calm down he stares at me.
"She called you stupid," he says laughing and my eye twitched.
"Shut up" I growled at him, making him laugher harder.
Embry, Quil, Paul, Seth, Jared, Rachel, Kim, and Emily joined Jake laughing with him while Leah just smiled. The new members were staring at them like they're crazy.
"Who was that?" Brady, a new pack member, asked making them calm down.
"That my friend is someone you don't want as an enemy," Embry says making me frown. Why wouldn't they? Amelia hasn't hurt anyone.
"He's right. She's scary when she's mad. So a little advice, don't act like a wild animal" Seth smirking while Leah, Jake, and Embry all nod in agreement. I turn to Jake with a raised eyebrow.
"You'll find out tomorrow" was all Jake says before leaving with his pack.
AMELIA'S POV:
Once we reached the house, Carlisle and Kellan both started to laugh and I joined.
"Do you think that was smart?" Kellan asked and I shrugged.
"Smart of course not, but was it necessary? Yes," I say laughing
"You did good, love," Carlisle says hugging me.
"So do you think they'll come?" Kellan asked opening the front door.
"Knowing Sam, yes. He wouldn't want the new boys thinking he's gone soft" I say laughing.
"Where're the others?" Kellan asks Esme.
"Still in the back," she says, greeting Kellan with a kiss on the cheek.
"Well, shall we go and see what they're doing?" I asked Carlisle and he nods.
Carlisle and I went out back, holding hands when suddenly I felt a weird vibe. I began to walk slowly and Carlisle turns to me in confusion. We were going down the back steps and I look forward, nobody was there and I turned around, looking for anyone. However, I couldn't see anyone. I turned to Carlisle and he shrugged, turning around to walk back to the house. I felt like someone was going to attack me from the back, so I grabbed Carlisle's shoulder and pulled him behind me. I was just in time to stop an attack. I turned to my side and held Garrett by his throat, he looked surprised that I stopped his attack. I had another feeling telling me he was going to swing his right hand at me so I blocked it with my left hand, my right was holding his throat. As I blocked his swing I threw him away from me.
"What's going on?" I hear Carlisle asked.
But I wasn't paying attention, I had so many feeling telling me that there were more attacks coming. So I go prepared. Garrett ran towards me but I jumped up, avoiding his attacked, I turned around midair, kicking his back, and sending him flying a tree.
Once I landed on my feet, I felt like someone was coming on my right. I turn around and suddenly Emmett came out of nowhere and started to swing at me. I avoided every hit. I saw the perfect opportunity to hit him in the stomach, I kicked him in the stomach and flew back, falling on his back.
I watched him go down and then Kate came from behind me and reached for me but I turn sideways before she could touch me. I grabbed her by her shoulder and her right arm and threw her to Emmett, who was standing right back up.
Once they were both on the floor Tanya came and try to fight me. She came running towards me and jumped halfway but I went under her. I stood up and turn to look at her, she was running towards me again. I didn't move but waited for her to come closer to me. I moved my right hand back and punched her in the middle of her chest, sending her flying to the trees. She broke three trees and she didn't get up.
I am pretty sure if I was human I would be sweating like crazy and breathing hard. I look around and wondering where the others were. I found them standing next to Carlisle who looked shocked while the others were impressed, awed, and surprise. They were standing next to Eleazar who looked like he just won a million dollars. Eleazar stepped closer to me, I got myself ready for anything. I had this feeling telling me this wasn't over, yet.
"Well done, Amelia," he said
At that moment, something told me to quickly turn around. So I did and I manage to see Edward and Bella running towards me. Since Edward was faster than Bella he was first, I waited for the perfect moment to pick him up and to throw him. He came towards me and I pretended to duck down, and just like I predicted, he puts his hands in front of me, trying to grab me. I grabbed his arms, spun him around, throwing him to Bella. Making them both go down on the ground. The feeling of peace come back to me so I turned to stare at Eleazar with a 'wtf was that' look.
"Sorry, I just wanted to prove my theory," he says pulling his has up in surrender.
"Care to explain that theory," Carlisle said defensively, coming towards me.
"You, Amelia are very powerful. Once you fully develop your gift, there is no stopping you" Eleazar says making me frown.
"How come?" I asked.
"When I heard that Edward couldn't fully read your mind, but hear small whispering, and when you were human, Jasper didn't feel any thirst while being near you or when Alice could only see glimpses of your future. And knowing that you don't act like a newborn it got me thinking. At first, I couldn't tell what gift you had but I knew it was a powerful one. I just needed time to study you more and to pinpoint your gift. You don't have one gift but multiples."
"WHAT!" I yelled.
"How can that be possible?" Carlisle asked.
"Amelia how can you describe those attacks," Eleazar asked me.
"Well, I don't know. It was like a feeling like some sort of voice telling me that something is bad. There's this little voice telling me where the other will hit before they even do. And the feeling of something good or bad happening, it like a gut feeling. A good or bad feeling. And sometimes I just know something without any facts. I guess I'm just lucky?" I say to him.
"You have very powerful intuitive abilities. I can sense Clairsentience- the ability to receive an intuitive message through feelings, emotions or physical sensations. Many believe that this is a spiritual thing but it's not. It's having a sense of something or someone. Also, I believe since you have this ability, you aren't like a newborn is because you're not hanging around with newborns. You're not feeling like one, the people you hang around aren't so in a way, you're feeding off of their energy. Sort of like an empathy but not really. You're intuitive is telling you how to feel or how the others feel. You can't change it but feel it. Just like you said, you had this feeling telling you something was wrong or something is good." I nod.
"Another one I could sense is clairaudience, way to hear without physically hearing something. You had a voice in your head telling you what will happen. This is an inner hearing, listen to it because it'll always be right. And another one is claircognizance the ability to know something without any facts. You have three very powerful intuitive abilities and I'm positive if you fully practice you can gain the other one you're missing. Clairvoyance is an inner seeing, it's not necessarily seeing the future or having dramatic psychic vision like Alice but small things such as color, a number, or even a symbol" he said leaving me speechless.
"Oh and you also have a small shield, it's only mentally protecting you because of your powerful intuitive abilities," he says.
"WOW" that was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
"So basically you're the mini version of Alice, Edward, Jasper, and Bella," Emmett said making the others laugh.
"Holy shit," I say sighings.
"Shit just got real" Garrett smirks and I nod
"No freakin kidding," Bella says smiling. I still couldn't fully progress anything.
"Seriously I can't be normal," I said making the others laugh.
The following morning, we meet up with the wolves. Jake and his pack were already here but in their wolf forms. The others were having mini duels, I was with Carlisle, Garrett, and Edward deciding if we should duel with the wolves. Let them get a chance to fight us. Edward was disagreeing saying the wolves are very hothead, especially Paul.
"No, it's too dangerous. This will end badly" Edward says frowning and I sigh.
"It either that or nothing. What the whole point of them just watching. They won't be able to practice at all. You wanted them to fight with us and that means they'll duel with us" I say to Edward.
"She's right and you know it," Carlisle said looking at Edward and Garrett nods. Edward was staring at me and sighs.
"Alright but you're the one who is going to start it," he says pointing his finger at me. I reached out and almost bite it. He pulls his finger away just in time and he stares at me shocked.
"You almost bite my finger," he said surprised.
"Then don't point it at me," I smirk and Garrett laughed.
We heard the wolves coming and we turned around to see Sam's pack coming out the woods. Carlisle came closer to my side. Jake, in this wolf form, stepped in the middle, probably talking to Sam. After a few seconds, Jake turns around and stares at us.
"Go, Amelia," Carlisle says and I sigh.
"Common Edward," I say turning to him.
"Why?" he asked confused.
"For obvious reasons, I can't read their minds" Smirking at him, Edward rolls his eyes and walks with me. We stepped next to Jake.
"They want to know what we're dealing with," Edward says.
"Just like you feared Nessie and believed she was a threat to humans and your kind. You wanted to destroy her, to kill her"I saw their heads lowered in shame.
"However, you were only thinking of the safety of this town and your people. Your reasons were somewhat justified as good, whereas, this coven isn't. They're here to kill anyone who gets in their way. They're brutal, unfair and wrong. They're simply here for one thing and one thing only. Power. They're using Nessie as an excuse to come and kill us, show the others that they aren't to be messed with. That they're the boss and that no one can harm them" Sam stepped forward while the others wolves raised their heads.
"We aren't bad people and you know that. We don't harm humans, we don't kill for pleasure and we don't turn innocent children. They believe that Renesmee is evil and that she'll do harm in this world. But we know that isn't true. We're dealing with some prideful vampires. These vampires are coming to fight us, to kill us" Jared and Paul growled in dislike for the Volturi.
"I strongly believe there'll be no fight but if I'm wrong. I'm asking you for your help. To fight side by side in this war with us. To help us prove what we already know, that Nessie isn't a threat and to prove our innocence in this so all crime" I said looking at them.
No one said anything or moved, Sam was staring at me and I was staring at him. Pleading for his help. After a while, he finally responds. Sam came closer to me and drops his body on the ground in submission. I smiled because he was somewhat accepting me back. He was going to help me protect my family.
"But this training will be different from the other," I say as Sam got up. He turns his head to the side, confused. And I smiled.
"This time you'll be going against us," I said smiling. Jared and Paul barked in happiness, that this time they'll have some action. Sam smiled at me, well it looked like he was smiling. I turn to the vampires.
"Let's have some fun," I say and they smiled.
For hours we spend the whole day training, wolves vs vampires. The wolves were winning at first but we manage to catch up. There were some complications when Paul and Emmett went against each other, they took it to far at one point. Zafrina had to blind them in order for us to break them apart. But other than that it was a good practice.
"Just a few months ago we were here, doing the exact same thing but we were humans," Bella said.
"A lot has happened since then," I said watching the others practice.
"Yes... do you regret it?" Bella asked me.
I knew the others were listening to our conversation. Especially Sam and Carlisle. Carlisle and I really haven't talked about what happened that night. I always avoided talking about it and I know he has too. Somehow it's never the right moment to talk about it. The others haven't brought it up either. So in a way, we're all avoiding it. And Sam and aren't on talking terms so we never talked about it.
"I think we had enough practice for one day," I say walking over to the group. I heard Bella sigh.
"They should go home,"I tell Edward however, he shook his head.
"No, we have one more duel before we're done for the day," he says and I frown. But everyone had a chance to duel. Who does he have in mind? At that moment, I knew what he meant and I didn't like it one bit.
"No" I deadpanned
"Yes"
"No"
"This was your idea" he smirks
"So, what? That doesn't mean I have too"
"Yes"
"NO"
"What?" Bella asked looking at Edward and me.
"NO, Edward"
"Yes, Amelia"
"Damn it, Edward" He ignores me and turns to the wolves.
"Amelia and Sam are up," he says and everyone stares at me. I was going to deny but Sam came walking towards me. He stopped a few feet away from me, waiting for me to respond to the duel.
"This is one stupid idea," I say. Edward turns to look at Sam.
"That's not nice," Edwards says frowning.
"What?" I asked. Edward shakes his head, not wanting to answer me.
"What?" I asked again and he sighs.
"He said you're scared, that you're just one weak bloodsucker," he said and it shocked me. I turn to Jake, silently asking if it was true. He nodded his huge head. I angrily turned to Sam.
"You shouldn't be talking you mutt," I said.
He growled and charged at me. I jumped up and landed on his back. I was able to put my arms around his neck. He managed to throw me off of him but I landed on my feet. He once again charged at me but I grabbed him by his snout, so he couldn't open his mouth. I held it for as long as possible but he managed to move away. With his huge ass head, he hit my side, sending me flying into a tree. I was on the ground when Sam once again came at me, I got up and ran to him. We collided with each other. Sam bite down on my shoulder, biting down almost as cracking my glass skin. I screamed out in pain.
"Ahhh" I screamed and threw Sam away from me. I looked at my shoulder and he actually cracked my skin. I looked at him and he had a smirk look.
"You fucker," I told Sam before running to him.
We both ran towards one another but instead of moving away or jumping around I punched him in his face. I send him on the ground. He was on laying down on his right side, I placed my foot on his head, pressing down.
"Don't you dare bite me again" I press down on his head, even more making him whimpered.
"That enough, Amelia," Carlisle said. I took off my eyes off of Sam and looked at Carlisle. At that moment I forgot the main rule Jasper taught us. Never take your eyes off your enemy.
Sam took this moment to bite my leg, held it in place and threw me at a tree. I broke the tree in half. I got angry at him. I looked up and stared at him. I was pissed off!
"FUCKEN SAM!" I SCREAMED OUT.
Once again we ran towards one another but this time I punched him. He went down, I picked him up by his throat and threw him into a tree. He broke two trees, I ran to him again and threw him again. I repeated this over and over again, it went on for about five minutes.
"Stand up and fight" I yelled at Sam. He got up and snarled at me. He ran at me and bite on my side. And threw me like an old chewed up toy. He threw me into someone's feet.
"Stop this" I felt Edwards hand on my shoulder.
I moved it and ran towards Sam again. Sam stood up and I punched his side and I heard something cracked. Sam went down in pain and I stared at him. He transformed into his human form. (A/N: let's all pretend that when they change back, they have clothes... we don't want to see some naked buff, sexy men . ... or do we XD)
CARLISLE'S POV:
I watched Amelia and Sam fight and I didn't like it. Sam was on the floor, with on hand on his right side, breathing heavily.
"You cracked my rib," he says angrily.
"And you fucken left me," Amelia said just as angrily.
At that moment I knew this wasn't about pretending, about training. Amelia turned this fight into something personal. She had enough of him neglecting her. She wanted answers and this might be just the way to do things. Sam stared up at Amelia and got up.
"You're no longer my responsibility," he said
I got mad at his response. How could he say that to his own blood? I wasn't the only one that got mad. I heard growls coming from the vampires and wolves. He was about to turn around but Amelia punched him. He went to his knees and held the side of his face Amelia punched.
"You said you weren't going to turn your back on me," she screamed at him. Sam didn't say anything he just stared down.
"You're just like your father, betraying your family," Amelia said.
Sam looked up at Amelia, angrily. He ran towards her grabbing her by her throat. I was going to help her but was held back by Edward. I turned to him angry but he only shook his head. I gripped my jaw and turn to Amelia and Sam. Amelia was able to move his arms off of her throat and kicked his side.
"I trusted you," She walked over to him.
"You said I was important," Amelia picked him up
"You said you loved me," She threw him.
"You said I was family," She walked over to him.
"I believed in your lies," She kicked him and he whimpered.
"I cried for you," She walked to him.
"I bled for you," Amelia picked him up,
"I would have given up everything for you," she threw him.
"I died for you," she stared at him as he tried to get up. It was difficult to watch this. But I knew this was something for them. Maybe not this way but they need this, they need to open up to one another.
"Every night I wondered what I did wrong? Where did I go wrong? Why did you abandon me?" she says looking like she would cry.
"Amelia" he whispered
"NO" Amelia yelled at him.
"You shut the hell up and listen," Amelia said and Sam shuts up.
"When the Cullens left, you said you'll be there. When Laurent almost raped me, you killed him. When Paul accidentally harmed me, you were the first to punish him. When I cried for Carlisle you held me tight and said you'll never let me go. When they the Cullens came back, you supported my idea of not speaking to them. My first fight with Bella, who was the first to comfort me? You were, you were there. Why can't you be there for me now?"
He looks down in shame.
"You made me a promise. A promise that no one would ever harm me. That no one would ever make me feel like I didn't matter. You broke that promise because you're the one who's making me feel I'm not important. The moment I became a vampire you turned your back on me. Why, Sammy? "
He didn't say anything, only stares at Amelia.
"Was all you said only meant for a human? I'm supposed to be your cousin, your sister, your Nani. And yet all that went away when I became this. Am I not good enough? Can't I still be me?"
The same thing, he didn't reply and I knew she was getting angry.
"FOR THE LOVE GOD SAM, ANSWER ME!" She screamed out.
"I was afraid" He whispered. I was shocked, well we were all. The great Sam, alpha of the new generation afraid?
"Of what? That I might become a soulless monster? That I might kill you? AFRAID OF WHAT?" Amelia yelled.
"THAT YOU WOULDN'T FORGIVE ME!" He screamed at her.
"...I let you down... I couldn't protect you... I let you die..." he looks down.
"So many promises and every single one of them I broke, I couldn't keep you save. I couldn't keep you alive"
"It wasn't your job to keep me alive," Amelia says and Sam shook his head.
"I'm your brother, of course, it is. But I failed. So when you became a vampire, I didn't mind it at all. But I was angry not at you or the Cullen but at myself. I failed as a friend, a cousin, as your brother not only that but as your protector and as a man."
"So I took my anger out at them, the Cullen. I blamed them for my failures, I blamed them for killing you. Because it's better to blame others for your mistakes. So when I saw you after your transformation, I thought that you'll be better with them. That you'll be safer with them. You didn't need me." he said. Amelia shook her head and went to hug Sam.
"I'll always need my big brother," she says to him. Sam wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close.
"I'm sorry," he said as they stayed hugging. She pulls away, wiping away a fallen tear from Sam's face.
"All is forgiven... but I'm not sorry for throwing you like a chew toy," she says smiling at him.
"Really, a dog reference?" he rolled his eyes.
"Couldn't pass it," she said smiling.
"Sorry for biting you" Sam smirks at her and she rolls her eyes.
"No you're not," Amelia says laughing.
"You're right" Amelia turns to me.
"Come," she tells Sam.
She brings Sam over to where I was standing. I was confused, why would she. They stopped in front of me, Amelia was smiling and both Sam and I were confused. She turns to Sam.
"Sammy, this is Carlisle," she says.
"Yeah, I know who he is,"I said confused.
"This is Carlisle, my mate," she said walking to my side and hugs me.
"Carlisle, this is Sam, my brother," she says turning to me. I understood what she was doing. She was formally introducing me as her mate to her brother. Sam smiled and held out his hand.
"Hello, Carlisle," Sam said smiling at me.
"Hello Sam," I said shaking his hand.
Paul and Jared came running towards us and hugged Amelia, all three were laughing, telling each other they missed each other. I thanked every god there was, thanked them for bring my mate and her brother together. Maybe this war was a good thing after all. It reunited families together and it allowed us to make new ones.
