Chapter 10
Significant Meadow
I landed on a fallen tree in a meadow that appeared to be a perfect circle. Filled with wild flowers, it was amazing if only Max could see it – with me. I sat there for a while, before the branch moved slightly, like some one sat down.
"Fang are you ok?" Jasper asked, he had appeared silent he stared just as silently straight, as if he was alone. "Whats up?"
"Nothin'" I shrugged, he didn't look convinced, he did know what I felt... damn. With him around I can't even hide behind my mask.
"Fang, calm down and don't worry Edward told me." I gave him a looked that pleaded his sanity – how would that make me feel better who else did Edward tell! "You know, a lot has happened in this meadow..." his voice drifted. I could tell he was having difficulty ignoring my emotions. "Alice," he sighed. "this is the place I told Alice I loved her. Edward and Bella had a "first date" here.
"It was on our way to the Cullen place-- you know how she sees the future-- well she knew the entire family wasn't home. So we decided to wait, we looked at all the wild flowers. It was nearly fifty years ago but still, you kno this meadow hasn't changed. Alice and I had traveled with each other for a little over week, and I kenw already I would love no one mor ethan her.
"So I told her, she didn't say it back immediately but eventually --" I was looking at Jasper, his eyes closed slowly, his shoulders drooped. He took a deep breath before looking at me. It seemed as thou he was looking past me for the short time he faced my general direction, he stared at nothing as he replayed his memories in his head.
His breathing bacame uneven, he sniffed the air a few times. He stood infront of me so fast my weak eyes couldn't catch it – even with the enhancements. He slowly crouched in front of me, muttering "Werewolves."
then I saw it the large russet one came out first, followed but others that stoped before they came out to the meadow, but their outlines were clear to me. The large one stopped n rolled to his side like a dog, waiting for a tummy rub. Jasper stood feeling no threat.
The wolf ran into the woods coming out as Jacob ten minutes later. "What do you want Jacob Black?" Jasper said. So this is the Quilette pack co-leader.
"Sorry bloodsucker, we aren't here for you, well actually I kinda guess we are. Any way Sam sent us for the kid... down at the school, your friends the vampires have company" Jasper cocked his head to the side. "Some little vampire, some other guy he looks like her and some big dudes are making trouble at the high school." he said.
Jasper nodded, "He turned to me, its the Volturi, Jane, Alec, sounds like Dimitri, and Felix. Fly to the school, and i'm going to run with the wolves, ok? " I looked at him. "Go! We got to get to Max and the others." Max that name woke me up. I shot into the sky and flew above the trees to the school. I could seee Jacob on one of the wolves backs, riding. And Jasper in the front.
As we came up to the main road I saw Charlie's crusier. I said in a normal voice, "Charlie" and the wolves following behind Jasper made a large arc going behind Charlie to fast for him to see any specifics. I could see the school by then. A large bubble of students surrounded a sidewalk in the parking lot.
Inside the circle was figures, a black car, and a group of four in long trenches(coats) then I could see Max standing close to Iggy. And Edward holding Bella's hand. Rosalie, and Alice stood behind Emmett. Everyone was looking straight forward, all bout three face, Alice's was upturned to the sky where I was coming, I waved and dipped for the trees. Edward was watching the trees where Jacob was walking out, with three other boys.
Waiting in the trees for me Jasper stood and followed me out. I walked straight to Max's side, and Jasper went to hug Alice. She held his hand for but a moment. Jacob walked over to other guys and a girl his size.
Edward nudged me and I turned to him as he whispered. "Thats Sam he's the head of the Quilette pack, along with Jacob, Embry, Quil, and Seth, who meet you in the meadow. On his other side are Leah, Paul, and Jared." I nodded. "Then he moved on to who we were facing, thou I knew who they were already I listened quietly.
The large ones Dimitri and Felix, looked kind of scary until I caught the expression on the girl Jane's face. It was same age group as Nudge but seemed to have a wise out look to it.
Then she spoke her soft child like voice was filled with such sweet quietness I had to force back a smirk. I think it would be easier with out the crowd, Dimitri, Felix, I hate being tempted." she shood them, and they told the kids to get lost, thou they had heavy italian accents. "Who are your friends?" she spoke again, turning to the wolves, she made a face, "have you heard of a bath," she critisized. Paul lunged but Sam held him back. "Good boy," she said and this time a evil smile crossed her face like a pumpkin.
Paul slipped from Sam's grip and jumped at her, six feet in the air he fell to the ground withering in pain. Seth than lunged for Jane but Emmett ran to stop him, even the werewolf couldn't get from Emmett's grip. Paul laid motionless on the cold ground. The only sign of his survival was his heavy breathing.
"What happened," she asked innocently.
"Just tell us what you came for, and leave." Jasper said harshly, stepping forward with Edward.
She shrugged looking at the floor. Edward growled. "I thought so." she said simply. "Well Bella, you look... colored, I heard pales all the rrage in Italy. Alice it's so good to see you, it's been well, forever, huh." jane smirked at Bella, and Edward growled. She frowned, "Well thats quite unfortunate... no fun," she said crossing her arms over her chest. Her face lit up again, "So who are you?" she said happily.
"Nobody," Max replied sharply.
"Really now?" that made jane unhappy... to say the least. Max screamed, and fell to the floor, it was like another brain attack. "No really tell me!!"
"This isn't the first time something has happened like this to her?" Edward said confused.
"Stop it!" Bella screamed standing in front of Max. Max convulsed, and dragged her self to a bush. "Why are you doing this!" Bella asked.
"She's not human!! None of you are! Except sweet little Bella. Why is that?" Alec smiled at Max, he placed a hand on his sisters shoulder. Edward looked surprised. Max stood shakily before collapsing again to dispose her breakfast.
"Perhaps we should finish this after school, else where, like the mansion or some where." Rosalie said snidely.
Jane thought for a moment, "Wonderful! I can't wait to meet Carlisle! This is a wonderful idea. Later than, goodbye, Bella." She said disappearing into the dark car.
