Jake stared up at Katie. He inhaled through his nose. All he could smell was her, and only her. Her eyes flashed in the moonlight. Jake took a step forward, but Katie stepped back. Her green eyes were worried.
"I'm not scared of you, I promise," he said taking another step forward.
She didn't move. She stared at him. He reached her. She bent her head down so she was eye level with him. She then rubbed her face onto his. Her face was smooth and gentle. She then let off a low growl. Jake realized it was a purr.
He then stared into her eyes. He smiled at her.
"You're still beautiful, you know?" he said. She turned away from him, and he saw her cheeks were red. She then bent her large head down and placed her clothes in her teeth. She motioned Jake to turn around.
A smirk came to his face. He said, "Aww come on, Katie." She frowned and in an instant, her long tail was wrapped around Jake, and he was lifted into the air.
"Ok! Ok! I'll turn around!" he yelled. Jake heard a low gurgling nose and realized it was a laugh. He was set gently on the ground, his back towards Katie.
He frowned and stared at the ocean. He then could smell again. Something wasn't right. A burning smell ran through his nose, but it was closer.
Katie then jumped onto his back in human form, saying, "You're a pervert, you know that?"
He turned around and said, "I'll be right back."
He then turned around and ran, leaving Katie confused.
"Jake?" she asked. She was scared. Why did he suddenly leave her?
She then heard a howl. She backed away, towards the ocean. She then saw Jake run out of the woods, and she smiled. When he got close enough, her smile faded. Jake's face was worried.
"Katie, you have to run! Now!" he yelled. She cringed in pain at his yelling voice.
"Why, Jake?" she asked, scared.
Jake's eyes were now in tears. He yelled, "I can't let them have you! I won't!"
Katie's eyes were leaking with tears as she asked, "Who, Jake?!"
Before he could reply, Katie heard growling and snarling. She turned her attention down the beach, and her eyes widened.
Four creatures were running non-human fast and giant, what Katie presumed to be, werewolves were chasing them.
Jake turned to her and yelled, "Run!"
Katie shook her head, taking a step forward.
"Katie, go!" he yelled, as he turned and jumped in the air. Katie then saw his clothes rip off, his pants flying off intact. He was then on the ground, running towards the creatures, in wolf form.
"Jake!" Katie yelled, tears flowing faster.
She then saw one of the creatures run around Jake, and towards Katie. Katie saw Jake skid across the sand and turn to him. Katie saw five werewolves still chasing the other three. She realized the creature was running towards her, its pale skin hypnotizing her. She then turned around and started to run.
She looked back once and saw the pale creature getting closer, realizing it had bright red eyes.
Her eyes widened as she whispered, "Vampire."
She then began to try and push her legs harder. Tears streamed down her eyes, faster and faster.
Katie then tripped over something and fell to the ground, her face skinning against the rough sand. She winced in pain, and turned around. She saw that the vampire was close enough, that even if she tried to run, she wouldn't make even three seconds.
She saw that the vampire was smirking, and opened its mouth. Katie's eyes widened as she closed her eyes.
"JAKE!!!" she screamed as a final resort. She heard a loud roar of anger from a beast and awaited death.
But what she FELT was something like an earthquake slam against the ground. She opened her eyes to see the red haired, pale skinned, 'boy' from before. He and the reddish brown wolf (Jake, she realizes.) attack the red eyed vampire.
"Jake!" she yelled, her tears falling harder. She shook her head, yelling, "No. No! NO!"
Her eyes then began to glow and her body began to change once again. The three vampires turned and left their fallen comrade to die. Three of the five wolves went after it, while the other two turned back to human form, pants in their hands.
"Jake!" cried a man Katie knew as Sam.
"KATIE!" cried a blonde haired, blue eyed man. John.
Katie's eyes turned red and she shook her head violently. Her mouth opened wide and she roared. Her body then took shape of a larger creature. It had large, thick, black wings, a thick, long, black tail, small, white, horns on its head, and the body was completely black.
Jake turned to look at her, and fear fell to his eyes. He ran to his pants, changed before he got to them, and placed them on his body. He ran passed John and towards her.
"Katie!" he yelled.
The black dragon looked at him, and opened its mouth, black stuff forming in its mouth.
"Get out of the way!" a voice cried before slamming Jake into the ground and moving John out of the way.
They weren't a moment too late. The black dragon released a black, stream of energy out of its mouth. It shot passed John and Jake. Jake looked up to see that Edward had pushed him to the ground. He turned to John and saw that Bella had pushed him.
Jake shoved Edward off, yelling, "Get off!"
Edward did and yelled, "You're welcome!"
Bella moved quickly to Edward's side.
Jake stood up and yelled, "You broke the treaty!"
Edward yelled, "If we didn't, Katie would've been killed! She would be dead if Alec didn't slam that vampire into the ground!"
Jake stopped right there. He turned away, realizing Edward was right. He was grateful, but he didn't want to say it to his enemy.
He then looked up and saw that Sam was standing by his side, and Carlisle was standing by Edward's side.
"Carlisle," Sam said, "You know you broke the treaty."
"I did," he said, "But considering her safety, and Bella's promise to Jacob here, we felt that if we didn't act, she would have died."
Sam sighed. He looked at Carlisle directly and said, "I'm willing to let this pass. Just this once."
Carlisle and Bella smiled.
Bella looked at Katie, roaring at Emmett and Alice, who moved around her. Katie swung her tail at Emmett, who grabbed it and was ready to slam her to the ground, but she flung him off. He only moved six feet away and was by her in an instant. She then saw Jasper appear by Alice, and Alec appear by Emmett. Alec's mouth moved, and Katie snapped at him, causing him to jump back.
"What's happened to her?" Jake asked startling Bella.
Carlisle sighed. He said, "The best I can say is that, dragons, or, what they call themselves, Dragon People, are a bit emotional, and sometimes can be overprotective."
Sam stared at Katie, Katie again shooting another black energy at Alice, who dodged it gracefully.
"Thus, causing her this odd transformation," Carlisle said, now staring at her himself.
They heard Alice yell to Jasper, "Try to calm her down!"
Carlisle looked at Jake and said, "I need you to change her back to normal."
Jake asked, "Why me?"
Carlisle smiled and asked, "Isn't it obvious?"
Sam replied, "You sorta made her change into that. She thought that she had put you in danger and her emotions ran high, and transformed her into that." he finished, pointing at Katie's black dragon self.
Jake looked at them, nodded his head, and ran towards her.
He heard Carlisle yell, "Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Alec, come over here now!"
The vampires ran incredibly fast passed Jake, and Katie looked at him as he got closer. She opened her mouth and shot black, what Jake realized now was, fire. He barely dodged it and was now standing in front of her.
"Katie!" he yelled, "Look!"
She looked down at him, bared her teeth, and roared.
"I'm alright, Katie!" he yelled, trying to hold his place.
She roared again.
"Katie, they're not your enemies!" he yelled, "They saved your life! They helped ME save YOU!"
She roared again, but it sounded weaker.
"It's alright, Katie," he said softly, "You're going to be ok. I'm going to be ok."
He looked into her eyes, which flickered green for only a second.
"I promise. I love you, Katie," he finished.
Jake looked into her face, which seemed to soften.
Her eyes then flickered to green, and she roared. She fell to the ground, and her body began to change. Jake started to blush. He turned around and yelled, "Does anyone have a-"
"Here you go," Emmett said, suddenly appearing, a large jacket in his hands.
Jake cringed. It had his smell on it, but decided it was better than nothing. He took it, and Emmett disappeared. He turned back to Katie and blushed, but shook it out of his mind. There's no time for that: he thought, placing the jacket around her back.
He flipped her over, not looking, and buttoned the jacket. He then opened his eyes, and saw that he buttoned the jacket right. She looked as though she were sleeping. Jake placed his arms under her, onto her back, and lifted her up, bridal style.
She made a noise, and her eyes started to flutter open. Her vision was blurry and she didn't see who it was.
She started to struggle, saying, "Let me go!"
"Katie," Jake said, "It's me."
Katie looked at Jake's face, her vision clearing.
"J-Jake?" she asked.
He smiled and nodded his head.
Her arms then embraced his neck and her lips were on his for a brief second. She then let go, and buried her face into his chest, beginning to sob.
She said, "I'm so sorry, Jake. I could've killed you!" She wasn't being boastful, she was being honest. She COULD have killed him.
He rubbed his hand over her head, saying, "Shhh, sweetie, its ok. You didn't mean to." She hiccupped, and he said, "It's alright."
She began to calm down.
"Jake," Sam said, still standing by Carlisle, "Carlisle says he needs to tell us something about her. Come on. The others are going to meet us at the boarder."
Jake cringed. He didn't want to be near them anymore. He just wanted to be with Katie. Alone. He sighed. He looked at her and saw her shiver with fright.
He forced a smile and said, "Don't worry. Everything will be alright. I promise."
She smiled and nodded her head. She then tried to get out of his arms to walk, but he pushed her gently down with a hand. She looked at him confused.
He said, "I'll carry you." She then felt them running through the forest. They were going really fast. Too fast so she closed her eyes.
"We're here," Jake's voice said. She opened her eyes, and Jake set her gently next to a fire.
She was confused on how they got a fire so quickly, but decided not to question it. Jake sat next to her. Katie looked around and saw nine vampires, and seeing John sitting by Sam. She breathed in deeply, and sighed.
"Are we ready?" Carlisle asked, looking directly at Katie. She blushed and turned away.
"They're here," Edwards said emotionlessly.
Out of bushes came James, Brian, and Quil. Katie's eyes widened and she turned away from Quil's face.
Sam looked at the three boys, saying, "Sit and listen."
They didn't say a word. They sat behind Jake and Katie.
Carlisle said, "As you know, Katie is a Dragon Person. Dragons have been, were, and shall always, be humans. There are not just regular dragons. Dragon People are the dragons from then, now, and the future."
He paused to see if there were any questions. He stared at Katie. She was still a young Dragon Person who had lost the only two people in the world who could explain her new life. Hopefully, Carlisle could fill her in.
He then started again, "Dragon People's dragon personality is not triggered by anything. If any of their parents are dragons, they will be dragons, and they will eventually transform. From what I understand, there is not limit in ages they can change. They can change as early as five or as late as forty.
Besides this, Dragon Peoples blood has been made into medicines and cures. That is why those vampires want her. Besides their blood being irresistible, their blood can also make them invincible."
Everyone's eyes widened.
Katie's eyes jerked to Carlisle's. He smiled and asked, "Do you know anything about the Dragon People that we should know?"
Katie was startled at his question, but shook her head.
Carlisle smiled and continued speaking to the others.
Katie took a quick glance at Quil. He was listening with interest. Katie's eyes widened as she heard the death roar of her parents the day they died. Her eyes widened as she saw a giant wolf appear from their bodies and change into a human. Her eyes filled with tears as she remembered. She then saw the humans face, and her face fell into her hands.
"KATIE!!" Jake yelled, grabbing her, "What's wrong?"
Alice and Alec stared at her, the only vampires not with pure shock on her face. Edward looked at her, and she stared into his topaz eyes, tears falling down her face.
"I see," Edward said, calmly.
Jake turned to him, furiously. He yelled, "What's wrong with her?!"
"She's thinking about the person who killed her parents," Edward said.
Katie shook her head violently.
"Who did it?!" Jake roared.
"Q-" Edward started when "STOP IT!!" Katie roared.
Edward finished, "Quil."
Dun dun dun duhhhhh! What's going on? Quil killed her parents? Why? Srry I haven't updated in a while. BIG school test coming in March and we've been studying. I'm lucky I could update this much. Anyway, leave a review and that'll make me update faster. :)
