Welcome back my lovelies! Okay so i know i've been super delayed! but...i found my anime passion all over again:c how disappointing! SO ANYWAYSSSS...
Previously on A light in the shadows;
"SHE'S NOT THE PUREST OF OUR TRIBE WHEN HER BLOOD IS POISONED WITH LEECH VENOM!" he roared slamming his cuffed hands on the desk in front of him. The eldors jumped and I snarled louder. "Sam Uley you watch who you talk with!" Billy hissed. Sam took deep breaths to stop the tremors from his body. "We Decided your punishment will be inflicted by Linda, Because technically she is the only one able to do it." Quil senior said with a little sadness in his eyes. Through them, though the sorrow was deep, there was no regret. Sam Looked confused. "What do you mean?" He asked tensely. Quil stood up and looked as fierce as he could. "Your punishment shall be, SEPARATION FROM YOUR WOLF."
*Night before separation ceremony*
"Linda, may i come in?" I turned my eyes over to Esmes small figure. "Yeah, sure." I murmured turning back to look out my window. Even if this punishment was needed, it didnt mean i didnt feel bad about it. I closed my eyes and i felt esmes cold hand reside on my shoulder. "This is what must be." She stated softly, sitting on the window seat next to me. I sighed closing my eyes and nodding. "Doesn't make me feel better. I knew i was playing with fire. I shouldve stopped." "It doesn't give him the right to kill." She argued back without hesitating.
I sent her a fustrated glare and she smiled sadly. "Life won't always be about what you want. Everyone in this twisted family can understand that perfectly. That is what hurts me. It wont always be about what you want, but when she try to get it, it shoots us down 30 feet under! Sam and emily should be happy. I shouldnt do this." I stated a little harder. She looked away with her small smile still planted on her face. "But you will. because even though they deserve to be happy, So do the rest of us. He hurt you, so we hurt him. it's a circle of life."
I looked away from her in defeat. There was no point in fighting about it.
"Well, besides that. Lets go eat, shall we?" She asked standing up. I nodded and followed her to the group of very silently awkward vampires and werewolves. They sat a table, Filled with delicious smelling food, delicious smelling juices, and a very sad, forlorn emily. I had to look away or else i would've just let go of it all. I would accept sams idiocy just to keep his imprint happy. My family happy. But that wouldnt work, cause then everyone else would be angry. It's simple to understand, yet so difficult to fix. "Linda, come sit by me, yeah?" Seth asked in a hopeful tone. I hadn't really talked to him since yesterday. I didnt talk to anybody. I sighed and forced a small smile on my face. "Kay" i said softly sitting on the right side of him. "So shortie, what cha been doing up there?" Everyones head snapped to emmett ad i could hear a growl from rosalie. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not gonna die from a simple question you guys. Chillax. Emmett, i was just thinking about...well...later..." I mumbled looking at emily. It became silent, with an occasional awkward cough.
"How does that work exactly?" Carlisle asked, breaking the silence. I bit my lip, wondering if i should explain. I decided it wouldnt hurt anyone even if i did. "Well you know the whole story, of the spirit walkers and sharing the body with a wolf and yada yada yada." They smiled at my phrasing. "Yeah well what i have to do is go into that spirit realm, which is done with some herbs and a circle of wolves surrounding me and...yeah...anyways. I basically passout and my spirit leaves my body. Sam will still be awake, which is why this hasnt ever been used. Separating a wolf spirit from your own human spirit when it was born entwined together is like ripping you in half." The wolves were tense, because this was new to them. they just knew it hurt, and it was VERY hard to be undone. The cullens were intruiged but hesitant. I began softly, yet not gentle. My voice was harsh. "My spirit hands have to grip sams heart and queeze it until the wolf relents just a little, Then drag the wolf out of his body. It'll claw and bite and snarl until i beat it into submission. Even more so since he is an alpha. Then-" Someones fists were slammed on the table, snapping them all out of ther horrified trance. It was emily. "And you plan to do this to him." She stated in an accusing tone. I nodded and she glared at me. "That's cruel linda. Even for what he did!" she protested. I smiled sadly. "It wasnt me who suggested doing this. It was the elders." "But you approved!"
"I had no choice!" I yelled back in defiance, we were both standing up on opposite sides of the table. "Sam deserves all he's getting, whether you think so or not. I don't want to do this, but In order for him to be the alpha he's supposed to be, he needs to learn What he thinks and says isnt how it goes, and his way of thinking isnt always correct! He killed me, and Trapped everyone in a frozen state for 7 years while the loves of their lives grew on them! you should be punished too for keeping this secret but ur not. You are a victim just like the rest of us. Stop protecting him. Even the people I love so dearly have to be punished sometimes." I sat down and finished eating after my last words. Nobody disturbed me, and nobody talked. The connections between the fork and plate were the only noises heard.
