It was going to be a super quick update but I went out instead :D I'm allowed a day off after my super fast updates!
Sugarishfreak - As far as I'm aware, there isn't anyone in Twilight called Gareth; there's the nomad called Garret though. I spent a while trying to think of a name for him; at first he was going to be called Viktor, but I thought it's a bit too much like Victoria, Gareth isn't a very scary name but I wanted to get the chapter up so chose a name from my phone book. :D And it's really more like Gareth found Sully, he may not have been looking for her in particular, but you don't think it was a complete accident do you?
SwedishFanFictionLover - I'm updating! I'm updating! I was just having a day off! Well most the day anyway! And don't worry Paul will definitely kick some nasty Gareth butt!
Swearing from the start!
Not the Cullens? What the fuck does that mean?! Answer me!
Paul calm down, Sam said.
No. I'm not going to calm down! So you little shit heads are saying there's a vamp out there? And it's not those pussy's that Seth and Jake are all chummy with?
Uhh...yeah...I'm pretty sure it's not the Cullens. Brady said uncertainly.
Yea, well I'm totally sure it's not the Cullens; it smells different. Collin replied.
And Sully? Embry asked.
She's here; there's an indent...like she fell.
Paul barked and growled angrily; Come on Sam, if this was Emily lost. Her scent in the woods, she's fell and there's some blood sucker out there...what would you do?
This is different!
How? Paul snapped. Because she's my imprint and not yours? Double standards, don't you think? We even protected that half breed freak that Jake imp-
Shut your mouth Paul!
Jake! Paul! Stop it! Sam tried to decide what to do; he didn't want everyone in one big group but this was their biggest lead. Alright. Brady, Collin...try to pick their scent up and follow it. Everyone head over there now.
Which scent Sam?
Go for the vampire. Jake, Embry, Quil; when you get there I want you to follow the Vamp trail. Leah and Seth you pick up Sully's. Don't worry Paul, we'll follow her scent as well.
"No! No...please? What do you want?"
"I wanted to play."
"Please...I'm meeting someone...you gotta...you..."
"There is no one, she who ran from the garage...away from her friends...the boy with the little girl...from those...things..." Gareth said almost seductively, " They were very hurtful, weren't they? Said some awful things, your poor mother..."
"Don't you talk about her!"
"Ah...I see a fire in you."
"Go to hell!"
"What about the runt that said all those awful things about your mother?...Horrible beast..."
"Don't...don't talk about Embry like that! He didn't mean a word!"
"Trust me young one, I have been around long enough to know when someone is telling the truth. I know he meant it, they are not well educated in lying...in masking the truth...now..."
"Shut up!"
"And what about the other one? That disgusting little mongrel...the one that stares after you...that lustful look...like a dog to a bone..."
Sully looked at Gareth, she was tired and sick of running. He had played with her, it was almost like he had planned this, he was enjoying it. She was kneeling on the ground again, her knees sunk in the mud. She had scratches on her and some bled out slightly; from running blindly around the woods. Now in front of him, and out of breath, Sully got a look at him. His skin was pale and he had golden hair, he was tall. But it was his eyes, that caught her attention. They were crimson. Gareth walked closer to her and knelt just in front of her, taking hold of her arm and squeezing the flesh hard. Her blood began to run and when she looked back up at the man, his eyes were black.
Brady and Collin kept running, they were close. That sickly sweet smell was growing stronger and stronger, the blood sucker was still in their lands and it was time to take him down! Brady looked behind him as he heard someone behind him, he felt reassured as Quil spoke to him, it was just he, Embry and Jake behind them. There was no need to worry. Collin thought differently though, he could hear Paul, Sam, Jared, Leah and Seth oddly close to them. And if the five of them were close that meant the scent trails were overlapping. The vamp was still toying with her or he had found her.
I mean it Collin, Shut the fuck up! Paul snapped.
Collin tried hard as he could to stop thinking it but it was hard not to. He wanted to hope that Sully was okay, he might not know her well but she was an imprint. And that made her special, not just to Paul but to the rest of the pack as well. Collin skidded to a stop.
Brady, there's blood here!
No!
Paul!
Sam tried hard as he could, even resulting in using his alpha voice to calm Paul down. Though he slowed down, Paul was still angry...more so then before. Jared and Sam had to pick up the pace to keep Paul satisfied. The pack growled as one as they heard a terrified scream echo through the woods, there was no denying it was Sully. The scream had riled the whole pack up as they also all realised that Collin was right, the paths were overlapping each other. The groups were running together, and Paul began to get a sinking feeling. They had heard her, she was alive but that thing was with her.
Paul...she'll be okay...Sully, I've known her since we were little. She's strong...she's a fighter.
Paul turned his head as Embry tried to keep his hopes up.
He's right Paul, don't give up.
She will be okay.
He was growing bored of their game of cat and mouse now. Gareth studied his finger nails as Sully fell down again, yes, he knew she was tired but come on! He had expected more, she had shown such fire in herself before when she defended the mutts but now...she was weak. She was pathetic. Just like every other human, every other meal. His game had to come to an end now, she was back away from him, seemingly oblivious to the large drop behind her, if she kept moving back any more then she was face a long drop before entered that stormy, grey sea. Gareth smiled, it was fitting, the heavens opened and they were drenched in a downpour, this would be her last memory. Gareth was still unsure if he wanted a play toy that could endure his games or just a meal; either way, he had to bite the girl soon. He had been aware of the dogs following them for a while, and they were closing in.
"No where to run child." Gareth teased as Sully's hand found nothing but crumbling rock behind her.
He was right. There was no where to run, there was no where to hide and this was how she was going to die. Her frightened eyes tried to find any means of escape and as coal black eyes locked with hers, he stalked forward.
"Such a shame...such a..."
Gareth cut off as an angry growl emerged from the woods. A large blur jumped for Gareth, and as he moved back so did Sully. The only difference being stepped back onto the muddy ground and she fell. Gareth smirked as the two small wolves snapped at him and he waited for the splash but none came, the smaller wolf bit at him and Gareth moved towards the cliff edge.
"What a lucky human."
Three more wolves appeared from the forest and Gareth picked the smaller one of the first two up and threw him at the new three, he did the same with the other small wolf and the five of them collided. Gareth smirked and looked down at his little play toy, whose body just fit onto a small out cropping which just a little wider then she was, and back at the wolves.
"Another time my sweet, and we will finish our game."
And with that Gareth took off into the woods, he had no doubt that at least one of the wolves would follow him.
They had seen the fight and the cliff through their brothers eyes and mind; and as Jake took Quil, Brady and Collin deeper into the woods to find the vampire, Sam arrived with the rest of the pack. They had all phased back; they knew it was no fault of Brady or Collin that Sully had seen them as wolves, they were just trying to protect her but they knew she would be more scared if she saw any more of them. Sam, using his alpha voice, told Leah and Embry to go back to Ms Call and inform them that Sully had been found. She would be home soon, and she would be safe. As they left, the rest of them began to plan their way to Sully. Paul, was being rather out of character. No smart remarks, no sarcasm; they didn't need to be wolves to understand the fear he was still going through.
There! Wrote all in one go!
Do you like it? We finally found Sully! Sorry it swapped about again a lot and sorry it was so short!
