I arrived at the Cullens', not exactly sure what kind of welcome to expect. After sniffing the air, I decided that I really should go in after all. The people I needed to negotiate with were in.
The first person to greet me was Edward, who was out the door and holding me in his arms in a flash. Even though I was certain that I smelled like him, the scent calmed me, readying me for what was to be done. Within seconds, I ran away, into the house.
My resonance for the swiftness was that the wolves were leaving. Not even panting when I was in front of them, I motioned for them to sit back down. Jacob obeyed immediately, and nodded for the others to follow.
Silence rang through the house, a signal of them all waiting expectantly.
"Well, there is much to be discussed," I began. "Just as I was on my way to…well, as I was running, an idea came to mind."
The faces waited.
"I have about a week to train to fight Victoria. I'm not Luke Skywalker, but I can't do it by myself either. I need help, and the sooner the better.
"Of course, the Cullens-my family, came to mind first. But in all actuality, I believe…I believe the wolves have had a little more experience in this arena. I think…" Inhale, exhale…
"I think I would like the wolves to consider teaching me." For several moments, nothing was said. No words were uttered and no breaths were made hearable. Only the sound of contemplation could be heard.
Sam spoke first.
"We'd be happy too."
Short update. Again. However, this is the last one. I have it all planned out see. Yep. Expect the unexpected…but for now, expect nothing else.
Love, Bri
