Nightmare Chapter 2: La Push, a twilight fanfic

Chapter 2: La Push

Marcus's eyes widened in disbelief. He knew Aro was evil, but not that evil. Jane was happy of Aro's choice. She studied Irene carefully. Irene shook, not aware of what was happening. Jane let out a huge sigh in frustration. Aro cocked his head to the side, "well…?" He asked. Jane stuttered, still trying, "I…I can't", Jane was shocked in disbelief.

Aro walked over to her and read her mind. Then he walked over to Irene, "You're a special one, am I wrong?". He was about to pick her up, but a flash of gray swooped into the air and knocked Aro to the ground. Irene, along with the guard gasped. It was a werewolf. It was their (their meaning werewolves) Alpha, Ephraim Black. He landed on top of the vampire, four paws on his chest. He was crushing the evil "bloodsucker". Irene, again, looked out the window, and saw all the rest of the pack. She giggled and clapped her hands together, "werewolf" she said smiling. Ephraim glanced at her and smiled. As he looked back to Aro, Caius ran to Ephraim and hit him with a crow bar. Ephraim fell by Aro's side and whimpered. Irene's eyes widened as she saw the leader's death. He stared at her with agony in his eyes, until he finally "left".

"Maybe we should leave her alone", Marcus whispered to Aro. "What?!" Aro screamed in disbelief. Marcus backed up in fear, but continued, "Aro", he continued, softly, "She's just an infant". "Marcus!" Aro yelled again. "Aro, You've already got what you want, no interference. Isn't that enough!", Marcus lost control, but remembered who his leader was. Aro thought about the words given for a while, and then nodded, "Let's go. Our work here is done". Caius mumbled to himself as they left.

Irene was left alone for a while. She wanted to cry but the tears just prickled her eyes. The pack of werewolves that were by the window came to say "good-bye", to their dead Alpha. They howled, grieving for their loss. One of them came to Irene and examined her. He smelled her scent and told the others to come over. They did their examining, and then grabbed the basket she was laying in with their teeth. They ran off with her into the woods.

When I woke I didn't scream. I was too weak to, but inside my head I heard me screaming. My eyes would not open. I was too weak but I could feel me healing. I heard familiar voices. I only heard Billy and Carlisle's because they were next to me. I could tell there were a lot of people in the room. I sensed it. There was one voice I didn't know. It was louder than the rest. No one was responding to it, so it must have been in my head.

Me: Who are you?

Voice: I am Ephraim Black- Billy Black's father, and Jacob's grandfather.

Me: I know who he is-but you can't possibly be Ephraim Black. He's dead.

Voice: Ah but it is possible. I am truly dead (thanks to that stupid bloodsucker) that's why I am only in your head.

Me: Woa, woa, what evil bloodsucker? Aro?! You- he died from old age. Billy told me. And even if you were Ephraim why are you talking to me, I mean you should be talking to Billy, he's the one that's in a wheelchair.

Voice: Yes, Aro. It gives me shivers just to think of him. I would talk to him, but he doesn't have a destiny to fulfill. I'm here to help you –to be your leader. I've showed you my death in the nightmare.

Me: I always get those nightmares you can't give me them.

Ephraim: You sure about that?

Me: Wait, I have a destiny to fulfill? What destiny.

I got no answer except a jab in my right side. I slowly opened my eyes. There were a group of people around me. I was on a couch in a house that was unknown to me. Billy and Carlisle were knelt beside me. Carlisle held a needle in my hands that held my blood in it.

I looked up at Jasper, then looked at Edward and gave him my thought. "Jasper is fine", Edward said, "Emett and I have him under control". I nodded, then gave him another thought. "She's hungry", he informed Carlisle, "She says she needs human blood-it makes her stronger". Paul and Jared both hesitated, uncomfortable about that. Carlisle nodded, "Billy, would you hold this". Billy nodded, and took the needle. Carlisle went in the other room, and came back with a cup a few minutes later. He gave me the cup and I chugged it in less than ten seconds. I licked my lips. Now all the werewolves, including the humans, were disgusted.

"I thought you ate human food", Emmett said. "I do", I said, "But when I'm weak I need human blood". Jasper wrinkled his nose at the word of 'human blood' and tried to break free of his brothers to get to my blood in Billy's hand. He realized his mistake when they pulled him back, and calmed him.

"Where am I", I noticed I was not at the Cullen's mansion. "This is my house", Billy replied. I had and idea, and smiled. "Once I'm healed, can I see Jacob's room". They all laughed, including Jacob. I imagined his room being dirty with a lot of clothes on the ground.

Emily interrupted and walked in the room from the kitchen. She had an apron on, and held a bowl that held a spoon inside it. There was steam coming from it. "Here", She handed Billy the bowl, but was speaking to me, "You should eat this, it's the Young's secret recipe". Billy nodded, and carefully gave me a scoop. It tasted disgusting; I wished I could spit it out, but Emily was watching. She laughed, reading my mind, "It's okay if you don't like it". She smiled that pretty smile I loved and continued, "I don't but it's good if your sick, or in your case, beaten up. I give it to Sam every time he has gotten hurt".

I tried eating all the soup, but only managed to eat half of it. I ate enough to get more blood. This time I drank the blood slowly. I got tired, partly because my head hurt, partly because I was confused. I couldn't remember what happened; I couldn't even tell who all was in the room. The next thing I remember I'm drifting back to blackness, and seeing the same nightmare Ephraim had given me.

I woke up, screaming again, to Billy. I felt less disoriented as I looked at Billy and Carlisle, who, both looked serious. I looked around and found that all of Sam's pack was there, so were the Clearwater's and the Cullen's. "You guys should probably leave", Carlisle looked at me, but was speaking to the others, and then he knelt beside me and Billy.

"Irene", Billy said carefully, "Can you tell us who did this to you and what happened". I squinted my eyes, "There isn't a lot I remember". I looked up in my head, as if I could find the memory there. "I understand. Carlisle, do you have any more blood? Maybe she'll remember if she has more strength". Carlisle nodded and was already prepared. I drank it in seconds.

I woke up, screaming, again, to Billy. I felt less disoriented as I looked at Billy and Carlisle, who, both looked serious. Billy got up, feeling concerned of my screaming, but Carlisle stopped him by placing his hand against Billy's chest. I looked around and found that all of Sam's pack was there, so were the Clearwater's and the Cullen's. "You guys should probably leave", Carlisle looked at me, but was speaking to the others, and then he knelt beside me and Billy.

"I remember", I still had my eyes closed. "Go on", Billy encouraged eagerly. "Tyler started hitting me. I fell to the ground. I tried to pick up my stuff- so I could run for it, but he wouldn't let me. He wouldn't even let me breathe. He just kept hitting and kicking me. Then he slammed me against the lockers. I remember staring at Paul and Jared, helplessly. Tyler threw me back on the ground. He started throwing things at me, then I felt something", I felt my head, which had a bandage on it, "Hit my head and I must have blacked out then, because I only remember hearing Jacob's voice". Billy nodded.

My head had a bandage on it. Every time I touched it, my head hurt bad, then I'd get migraines.

Billy took me to Sam's when I woke up, again. I had decided to get up and do something- I was getting tired of Ephraim's dream. The only thing I could think of doing was visiting the pack and talking some sense into the two boys who never helped.

Billy walked into Sam's kitchen with me. I heard Sam and the rest talking. I closed my eyes as we walked through the kitchen, and remembered their face as I got beat up. How they did nothing while I was gasping for breath. I started to get furious.

The door that separated the kitchen from the living room opened, and I phased with it. I attacked Jared, landing on all four paws, before anyone could blink. He growled and phased along. I laughed; I had always loved a new werewolf fight- especially when I was in them. He narrowed his eyes, angry at my laughter, and pushed me off of him, which resulted in my back hitting the wall. He smiled with pride.

I looked at Paul, and lunged at him next. I heard a loud howl from Sam, Paul and Jared went out of the room to phase, and came back quickly. I still stayed a werewolf, standing in the same exact place. There was no way I was going to answer to him.

Sam looked at me, expecting the same response he got from Jared and Paul. Realizing I wasn't going to move, he left to phase, and, like Jared and Paul, came back quickly. I decided to do the same, and phased to human in the kitchen. "You should pay more attention to your pack", I snapped, when I returned. Sam cocked his head to the side in confusion, as did Jacob.

"I was beaten up by a student at school. He told me to stop hanging out with you guys. He wouldn't let me breathe; he wouldn't let me get away until I blacked out. I've been told you all are here to help the town, but Jared and Paul didn't. They just stared like two idiots". Sam looked at Jared, who was squirming with discomfort of the situation, "Is this true?" Paul and Jared nodded quietly, disappointed. "Jacob would never let that happen", I snapped again at Sam.. Jared growled, upset at my words to Sam,

"Jacob isn't the Alpha"

"No, but he should me "

"Sam's older"

"Jacob's stronger"

"Sam is more experienced"

"Jacob's grandfather created the treaty"

Jared realized he wouldn't win that fight, and Sam, thankful, nodded. "I do have to agree with Irene", Sam was calmer, "Jake would make a good leader". Billy perked up. "However, he did say he would like me to remain Alpha", he looked at Jacob to confirm.

I sighed with disappointment for apologizing, "Look, I'm sorry. But you don't know what it feels like to love werewolves, but have to be driven away from them because their Alpha hates you, two of them hate you, and your vampire aunt hates them. Plus, if you knew what I knew, you'd understand". Billy stood up quickly, it startled all the werewolves, "Well, we should probably go, we've done enough damage, and you should probably get home".

I frowned once he mentioned home. What home? I felt so much happier here in La Push with Jacob, than back at Fork's with Edward. It felt like home here. They were all family.

The trip home was quiet, and by the time we got home the sun had just set, and the night was coming. I decided to go to sleep early. Carlisle was at the hospital, Jasper and Alice were in their room, Emmett and Rosalie in theirs, Edward was at Bella's, and Esme and Sarah were talking. They seemed to be best friends. I laughed when thinking about it.

I lay in bed, waiting to have my nightmare. I thought about how Tyler had hurt me. He realized that I could heal fast. I knew I had to care of that, but how…My dream was like all the others, except Ephraim's was added. My missing puzzle piece was put back together, and I understood his nightmare better.

The next day I screamed. No one came in. They were all used to it. I did my usual routine for the mornings. I take a shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, and put as much perfume as possible so I didn't smell like a dog. I had Jasp and Em smell me, so I made sure I had enough. We decided to start taking Jasper's jeep-it was bigger than Rosalie's.

When we got to school, I hesitated. Everyone got out, but me. I couldn't move.

Ephraim: Oh, for crying out loud, you're a werewolf. You have worst things to worry about.

Me: Unlike you, I'm not a fearless leader. Besides, haven't you heard that humiliation is worst?

Ephraim: (snickers)

Jasper helped me out, "Don't worry, I'll keep you calm". He held my hand, and then held Alice's. Alice smirked at me. Why did it seem like everyone hated me?

When we got to class, Jasper and Alice were whispering. I couldn't listen, I was too busy self-comforting. When we entered our first class, Jasper didn't pay attention and let go of my hand. I took that chance to run to the bathroom to get away. I wish I had the ability to be as fast as Edward.

I was walking out of the bathroom, when I saw Tyler at his locker with the two guys that beat me up. I walked over to him and grabbed his arm. His friends ran off, terrified. I dragged him into a deserted room and threw him against the wall. The wall cracked from my throw as he slid down the wall. "That was for yesterday", I said, then I grabbed his wrist and bent it. I heard a crack, and he yelled in agony, "And that's to make sure you don't do it again. You tell anyone, and it'll be worst". Tyler gave a strange face, and I sensed he was scared. If only you knew…I thought. I started walking away. "Wait", he called back. I stopped outside the door, wondering what he could be wanting after what he just went through. I sighed and came back, "What", I said nastily. "What-", he stuttered, still shocked, "What do I tell them happened". I raised my eyebrow, thinking he meant he was going to tell them about this incident. "I mean-my wrist", he raised his wrist up. I shrugged, "It snapped from your books?" He nodded in agreement.

I got to class right on time and Jasp looked at me, as if asking where I had been. I just shrugged it off. As always, I couldn't listen to any of the lectures given, but I didn't have to. I knew all the things they were teaching.

I walked by Tyler in the hall and saw that he had a cast where I had broken his wrist. He looked up at me, and then quickly looked away. I chuckled to myself.

In P.E. we played dodge ball. I stood by myself, looking at the ground with a frown on. I wasn't paying attention when a ball hit me. I looked up at who had hit me, to find it was Jacob. I narrowed my eyes at him. He and Embry came over followed by Quil. "We called you, but you weren't paying attention," Jacob explained. "Oh, yea", I apologized, "Sorry".

He nodded, "So why are you alone?" "You look sad", Quil added. Embry hit him. "You really should stop", Quil complained as he rubbed his shoulder, "You and I both know you're stronger". Embry smirked and nodded in agreement. "I just feel so different, obviously I am different, but I wish I at least had a friend". I sensed Quil's sadness, and then sensed the reason. He felt left out from Embry and Jacob, like I felt with the Cullen's.

"You have the Cullen's", Embry cocked his head to the side. I sighed un-pleasantly, "Rosalie has Emmett, Bella has Edward and Jacob, Alice with Jasper, and Esme gets Carlisle. My aunt's a-", I raised my voice. Jacob stopped me before I could curse.

"I just wish I had what you had", I sighed once again, then continued, "A family. You have Sam who'd do anything for you guys". "If he knew how cool you are and sees that your not a threat, he'd do the same for you", Quil replied. "I don't think that's going to happen after I attacked Jared and Paul", I disagreed doubtfully.

"We all lose our temper at some point", Jacob shrugged it off, "It's what we do". We all laughed, as Embry beamed. "Why don't you com to La Push Friday night? You can hang-out with our families, it'll be fun". "I don't know. I don't want to intrude".

"Come on, I think Bella's going," Jake encouraged, then rolled his eyes, 'That is if Edward let's her". I couldn't help but smile at that. Edward was overprotective, especially when it involved werewolves. We all laughed until a dodge ball pegged us all.

That night I decided to go to the library to look up Ephraim. In the dream he had died from saving me, but in the legends he had died from a heart attack. I couldn't help but be curious. I looked all over, and after thirty minutes, finally found it. I read through it. I found what I was looking for.

Ephraim Black was born on February 20, 1854. Died on March 28, 1900.

I wasn't born on March 28, 1900, but I did realize the age he was during his death. He was just forty-six years old. Too young to have a heart attack.

Me: Ephraim, are you there?

Ephraim: Yes, what do you need?

Me: Okay, so you died too young to have a heart attack, which means you couldn't have one. You did die because of me, but where's the proof? You died on March 28, my birthday is April 28, a month before that happened.

Ephraim: Aro hid my death. Didn't want it exposed that he was evil, because of bad reputation. I don't get why they care so much about reputation.

Me: Me neither, but I should probably explain this to Billy.

I put on my earrings. My aunt didn't know I was going out tonight. It wasn't that she didn't want me going out it was that she didn't want me going with the boys. She'd been wanting me to get out of the house, because I'm never out, unless I'm at school.

I did some finishing touches on my make-up. I put some more powder on, so you couldn't see how pale I was. I realized I hadn't called Bella to climb through the window, that was already open for her, so the vampires downstairs wouldn't get suspicious. I was worried about Alice finding out. I pulled my cell phone out and called. I told her to climb through the window.

"But…I'll fall", Bella complained, "I'm clumsy". I understood that, she was the clumsiest person I met. "Okay, hide in the woods and call me when you get here", I agreed, "I'll make sure no one's hunting". Bella agreed and hung up. I sensed she was scared-more like nervous. I knew it was because of Edward and his overprotective.

Ephraim: sneaking out? Never thought I'd see a werewolf doing that

Me: You know Jacob does, and I've been informed that I'm strange and different.

I walked down to the living room, where everyone was. Carlisle was missing. He was at the hospital, where he usually was. We've been told that there have been a lot of attacks lately. Carlisle says there have been a lot of vampires hunting in the area, but he isn't positive so there's no reason to be alarmed.

I looked around the room. Jasper and Emmett were watching a game. Jasper jumped up and cheered for his team. Emmett stayed sitting and rolled his eyes. Alice and Rosalie were angry at their husbands for not noticing them. Sarah and Esme were laughing loudly in the kitchen. There was someone missing…oh no! EDWARD!

I looked at Alice, 'Where's Edward". "Up in his room", Alice grumbled angrily, "Bella is out somewhere so he has nothing to do". I nodded, grateful that she wasn't caught, and ran back to my room.

Someone started calling my name. They were whispering, but calling. I realized, after a couple of calls, who it was- Bella. I put my jacket on, phased, and then leapt off, then phased back. "Can you not do that?" Bella asked nastily. "Sorry", I whispered back, "But if you don't want to be late, then you should get on my back". "Your back?", Bella asked confused. I phased. "Oh no, there's no way I'm going to-". It was too late for her to finish. I had already swooped down and put her on my back. I was running fast as she was screaming and hitting to be let down. I finally reached La Push, with Jacob, Quil, and Embry greeting us.

"Hey, you came", Embry grinned at me. I nodded shyly. Quil laughed, "I can tell you're nervous". Once again, I nodded. "Don't worry
, Embry said, "Just follow us". They introduced me to several of the family members. I met Quil's dad, then we ate hot dogs and chips. The boys ate almost all of the hot dogs, until Sam told them to stop.

Later that night, they all decided to jump off cliffs. Jacob had been talking to Bella the whole night, so I was stuck with Quil and Embry. Quil went on and on about mechanic things, so I talked to Embry.

We reached the cliffs which were huge, and climbed up there. We had an audience, which were the humans that remained. Sam jumped first. Jared and Paul quickly followed before he even touched the water. Bella hesitated. "Oh, we'll save you if you get hurt", Seth came up behind us, "It's our job, 'ya know". Bella nodded, hesitantly. After a couple of long minutes, she gave in and jumped. Next was me, Quil, and Embry. We all held hands, and leapt off. We all screamed as we fell down.

The water was cold, but it felt nice. We swam for a little bit, some of the humans decided to join us. We finally dried off, and headed back. I got excited when it was time for the legends.

Billy was the one who told them, while the rest of us sat around the giant fire. Billy told it wrong, and I informed him that when he was finished by slapping him. Sam, of course, stood up, ready to calm the situation. Jacob followed, furious that I had hit his father. Billy stopped them by putting a hand up. Both sat down. I sensed he knew he was lying, so I went ahead and skipped that. Ephraim was mad at me, along with Jacob, who had clinched his fist together. Billy stopped his son from punching me. "You're lying", I yelled at him furiously. Billy nodded calmly, "Yes, I'm guessing you know a lot about the legends". "No", I bluntly replied, "The people. I've met Sam's father". Billy's eyes widened. I couldn't tell if it was in shock or horror.

Sam's father wasn't the nicest werewolf there was. In fact he was the opposite of Sam. "I've also met Ephraim", I continued, "He didn't die of old age, either". Now I had everyone's attention, and they were shocked. I explained how I could talk to him in my thoughts- Ephraim got mad, thought they would never believe me. Some did. Thankfully, Sam was one of them and realized I wasn't some joke. He apologized as I was about to take off.

"Look, I just want to apologize for disrespecting you", he awkwardly said. I grinned, "I get it. You want to be protective over your brothers. It's what you do". Sam nodded, "You're welcome over at my house anytime-and across the line". I thanked him and ran off, leaving Sam to only stare off.
