"The wolves have requested a meeting to discuss a vampire that they caught the scent of on their land." Carlisle told the group in the front yard that included the Denalis and the Cullens minus Edward who still had yet to return. The group had spent the day with Isabella who was helping them train with their gifts. Kate was now able to project electricity all the way to her elbow on both arms and Jasper was working on keeping out Alice's emotions. Carlisle was amazed at the fact that not only were both able to do such things but they were making such quick progress in the training.
"Wolves you say. That must have been the scent I picked up when I first got here." Isabella realized.
Carlisle sighed in relief."I guess we figured out who they smelled in the woods. We have a treaty with the local wolves to stay off their lands. I think what must of happened is you crossed the treaty line without knowing it was there."
"Oh man I don't want to go home now." Isabella mumbled seeing the confused looks she explained. "My Tanya is going to be pissed if she finds out I'm fighting werewolves without my sword."
"You have a sword to fight werewolves?" Kate asked excitedly.
"Yes I do. It's made out of hardened vampire venom." Isabella told them.
Tanya held her hands up to stop all the questions the way she had numerous times since meeting Isabella. She knew that this wouldn't be the last either. "Ok everyone quiet down. One question at a time. Kate you first."
"How is it possible to harden vampire venom?" Kate didn't know if she was more intrigued by the idea of the sword or learning about her own gift.
"I had heard many tales of the Great War that happened in my dimension and one of the problems was that weapons were mostly useless against most types of supernatural creatures. In my research I discovered that vampire venom was the one thing that affected everyone involved including vampires themselves. From there I simply used my venom to figure out a way to harden it." Isabella shrugged. She didn't understand why they were so surprised.
Eleazar stared open mouthed at Isabella who stood there like it was no big deal that she created a weapon that could change the way vampires fought each other. "How sturdy is the sword? Does it break easily?"
"I have yet to find anything that can break it and I have used it many times." Isabella said.
"Jesus Christ could you imagine what kind of damage a sword like that could do?" Kate was already envisioning all the fun she could have with a sword like that. One thing she missed about her human life as a warrior was her sword. She had put in so many hours of training to use it that it felt like a huge loss when she was no longer able to wield one without it easily breaking.
"How did you actually harden the venom?" Eleazar hoped it wouldn't be something only Isabella could do because he knew they were running out of time with the woman. He would be disappointed if she wasn't able to show them how to do it after he just found out about this amazing discovery.
"It's a long process that takes a lot of venom. It took me almost two months to make the sword. My mate was as understanding as she could be and brought me blood so I didn't have to go out to feed. I have not made another sword after the first one. The only thing similar is the pair of daggers I made for my Rosalie as a gift." "Isabella told the group.
"Why did you make daggers for your Rosalie?" Alice asked. She was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that Isabella and her Rosalie had a bond as strong as a mate bond.
"As you know Rosalie's gift doesn't work on more than five people at a time and she has to really concentrate to use it. The daggers make it easier for her to kill the emery that she is focused on so she can move on to the next safer and quicker." Isabella said.
"Wait, what do you mean my gift? I don't have a gift." Rosalie would have know if she had a gift. She had been around Eleazar enough that the man would have picked up on it.
"Oh course you have a gift. How do you not know about it?" Isabella asked confused why Rosalie didn't know. She had seen her use it since she had been here.
"I think if Rosalie had a gift I would have been able to detect it." Eleazar had believed Isabella on everything she had told them so far but he trusted his own gift and he never detected Rosalie having one.
"Not if she was using it on you." Isabella sighed as she saw the disbelieving looks on everyone's faces." If you didn't know about Rosalie's gift that means she has been using it subconsciously on you this whole if Eleazar hasn't detected it."
"OK so if I have a gift what it is and can you teach me how to use it." Rosalie was now even more happy that she met Isabella. The block alone was beyond anything she thought possible but if she had a gift that would be mind blowing to her.
"You call your gift dazzling. You have the ability to capture and keep the attention of someone for as long as you want. You can also force them to do things while you have their attention. Like planting an idea in their head that they will feel that if they don't do it they will die. The amount of people you can control depends on species." Isabella told her.
"If this is true then why haven't I been able to detect it?" Eleazar had been trying since Isabella mentioned this and still could read a gift in Rosalie.
"Simply she doesn't want you to. For some reason her mind decided it didn't want you to know. You both probably didn't realize that she manipulated your gift to basically look the other way.I don't know why you didn't know this, as her gift manifested while she was human." Seeing the confused looks Isabella explained. "Her beauty. It draws people to her and I bet while she was human she could hold the attention of people around her for hours if she wanted to, the whole time they probably fell deeply in love with her not knowing it was actually her gift drawing them in."
Rosalie thought about what Isabella was saying. She had been very beautiful when she was human and did have many vying for her attention. When she was turned into a vampire many claimed she was the most beautiful one to ever exist. It would make sense if she had the gift Isabella described that her beauty would be enhanced to boost her gift. She wasn't one hundred percent sure Isabella was right but she couldn't help getting her hopes up. "Could you help me learn how to use my gift."
"Anything for you Rosalie." Isabella told her.
"I hate to be the one to have to stop you from beginning to learn your gift Rosalie but we need to deal with the wolves first. They are expecting us at the treaty line soon and I think everyone should come to introduce who is in the area as well as warn them of the three human drinkers that will be joining us soon." Carlisle really was sorry they couldn't just skip the meeting with the wolves. The possibility of Rosalie having such a powerful gift was beyond exciting as he never heard of a vampire being able to do that before outside of myths and made up stories of vampires bing able to dazzle humans. He also wanted to get more time to talk to Isabella about her sword and from the look in Eleazar's eyes he realized that the other man was thinking the same thing. He once again wished that Isabella could stay longer because there was so much knowledge he knew she had yet to even tell them.
"I hope we get to fight them." Emmett said as they all ran to the treaty line. "I haven't had a good fight in a long time so taking on a few wolves would be fun."
Before he could remind Emmett that they were in fact not there to fight the wolves they were already at the treaty line with 10 wolves and a human Sam Uly lined up. He was just about to greet them when Isabella's voice broke the silence causing him to sigh.
"Oh my god! They aren't wolves at all. They are just puppies." Isabella cooed at the offended wolves. "Someone get a picture of these cuties so I can show my love when I get home."
"We are not puppies." Sam told her angrily.
"Well you're not but this guy right here is cute little puppy." Isabella knelt down and motioned to a small grey wolf talking in a baby voice. "Who's a cute puppy? You're a cute puppy aren't you. Yes you are."
All the vampires tried to hold back their smiles as they watched Isabella treat the dangerous wolves like pets. Rosalie however couldn't hold back her laughter causing the wolves to growl. This seemed to delight Isabella more. "They growl too! I can't take it!! This the is the best thing I have seen in a long time. I wish I could take you all home and cuddle you."
"That's enough." Sam yelled over the growls coming from his pack and Rosalie's laughter. He didn't know who this strange vampire was but he wasn't going to take being insulted.
"Isabella why don't you stand by Rosalie while we have our meeting." That was the only thing Carlisle could think of to get Isabella to stop taunting the wolves. He to found it extremely funny but didn't want the situation to turn violent. He hoped that her bond with Rosalie would keep her in check.
Isabella sighed and walked to Rosalie. "You got a picture of them right? I just wish I had a video camera to record this. My mate is going to be so jealous I got to see them."
"Oh I got a picture alright." Rosalie said as she put her phone away. Her day was turning out amazing. First she found out that she had a rather powerful gift and then she got to witness Isabella coo at the wolves. She was starting to see why her other self liked Isabella so much. If she lived in this dimension Rosalie would have made a great effort for them to be friends.
"Anyway, You said you smelt a foreign vampire on your lands. I believe that vampire to be Isabella. She didn't know of the treaty as she isn't from around here." Carlisle told them trying to get the meeting back on track.
A large russet covered wolf disappeared into the tree line and come back as a man similar looking to Sam. "You broke the treaty."
"As I said it was an accident." Carlisle said.
"If you didn't then why is Bella standing there as a vampire. You were told you couldn't bite a human this proves you did." Jacob yelled causing the rest of the wolves and Sam to focus on the newcomer who had insulted them.
"I assure you that is not Bella Swan." Carlisle could feel the tension in the air.
"If you aren't Bella Swan then what is your name and why do you look like her?" Jacob demand. This vampire looked just like his best friend. She didn't act like her though so that confused Jacob.
"I'm Isabella Swan. Nice to meet you." Isabella held out her hand to Jacob as Carlisle put his head in his hands and sighed.
Jacob immediately started shaking the only thing stopping him from shifting was his need to speak. " If you are Bella Swan then why don't you know me? Did they do something to you to make you forget?"
"Oh no, you misunderstood me. I'm not Bella Swan, I'm Isabella Swan. Your Bella is very human, whereas I am a vampire." Isabella explained.
Sam grabbed Jacob as he made a move to step over the line to confront the vampires. "That makes no fucking sense. Either you are or you aren't Bella Swan."
"If we are talking in those terms then no I am not Bella Swan." Isabella smiled at Rosalie when she heard her start laughing again. Even Emmett snorted at the angry confused looks the wolves were giving them.
"If I may." Carlisle interjected. This meeting was getting out of hand and he knew if someone didn't explain what was happening the wolves would attack. " Isabella isn't the Bella Swan you know. It's a very long story but I can assure you that your Bella Swan is completely human and is at our house right now. Perhaps if you want to call her and find out."
Jacob took the cell phone Carlisle handed him and dialed Bella's number from memory, when the girl picked up his confusion grew. "Bella is that you?"
"Jake why do you have Carlisle's phone? Is everyone alright?" Bella's voice was panicked.
"Everyone is fine as of now." Jacob reassured her. "The reason I'm calling is because there is a vampire here that looks exactly like you."
Bella sighed with relief. "Oh you mean Isabella."
"Yes Isabella. Why does she have the same name as you and look like your vampire twin?" Jacob asked.
"It's a long crazy story that I will be more than happy to come over and explain to you. Just know she is overall harmless as long as you don't provoke her." Bella told him.
"OK I guess I will call you later." Jacob hung up the phone and handed it back to Carlisle. Even knowing Bella was still human he still had hundreds of questions.
"Since we all heard that Bella is not the same as Isabella, I wish to inform you that along with our cousins that are here with us today there will be three human drinking vampires that will be visiting soon." Carlisle expected the growls he was now faced with. "They will not be hunting in this area nor are they part of our coven."
"We do not allow red eyed vampires near our lands." Sam reminded them.
"Unfortunately this isn't a matter that can be negotiated on as it pertains to some vampires laws that we can't go against without great repercussions to not only ourselves but you as well." Carlisle may have been fudging the truth a bit but he would never deny Irina the right to meet her mate. He selfishly wanted her to do it at his house so he could spend time with Isabella.
Sam thought this over. He understood that the Cullens had to follow vampire laws that even he couldn't force them to go against. "I understand and wish that these human drinkers hunt away from forks. I want to warn you though if they even travel to our land peacefully we will be forced to kill them."
"Calm down. They will not hurt your mate I promise." Tanya soothed Irina as she held her back from attacking the wolves.
"That is agreeable. Do you have any other concerns?" Carlisle hoped they didn't. Everyone was calm right now and he feared if they continued the tension would come back. He didn't fear for his family as Isabella's shield alone was enough to protect them. The wolves on the other hand would not be able to leave a fight with them without casualties and he didn't want the young boys to get hurt.
"We have no other issues to discuss." Sam said and motioned for the wolves to leave.
Isabella sighed sadly. "I really wish I could take one home. Tanya has always wanted a pet. One of them would have made a lovely anniversary gift."
Rosalie laughed again as she walked back to the house with the rest of the group. She really was going to miss Isabella when she left.
