Twilight saga: Distance -part 1

Chapter 6

Your guardian angel ...and a little more

PEERING through the canopy of the evergreen vegetation, I leisurely glanced around the small clearing, my sights once again settling on this pastel skinned human girl with lengthy chestnut hair.

I could feel my lips tugging upwards as I watched her.

The all famous Isabella Swan. It's been a time….and what trouble you seem to brew up, child.

But I must say, after all of these years, what a very…intriguing girl she has turned out to be. She's grown to be so beautiful – and a stubborn, confused, danger magnet.

A silent sigh wisped from my lips. But of course, I've expected nothing less. From the time I first met her, she was nothing normal and I knew at just lying eyes upon her that she had something in store.

But at my early demise and pain that has passed and is still to come.

I eyed the vampire she seemed to have foolishly tangled her and others with. I squashed the urge to roll my eyes and huffed. And she makes destiny the hardest to play out.

I sprung off the balls of my feet, landing in a tree a ways off but where I could still peek in on the events. All so not to be detected. Gently pushing a brush away to see more clearly, I continued to watch over the girl. I sighed again. But I wouldn't change my place of destiny for the world. She has, after all, set me free in a way. No matter how worrying her choices are, I suppose...- whoa, hello!

I sat up and blinked, my smile broadening as I watched as she stood up to the mind readers of the Cullen coven with something in her blazing so strongly as she brazenly defended that pup as if he was her own.

She'd make a great mother some day... I turned to peer at said pup, his features striking something deep within me so suddenly I had to retain a gasp as I clutched my chest. Taking an unneeded breath, I mentally shook off the feeling. So that's Seth Clearwater. And so young he is. In fact, he reminds me of…

I tensed, my thoughts interrupted as I watched as the poor pup was attacked by a newborn by surprise.

"Seth!" the cold one yelled in warning. A little slowly in my opinion. Little Seth was tough though, it was cute to watch him impressively defend himself against the newborn as he shifted back into a wolf, his growls of anger signs that he was handling just fine. I relaxed my posture once more.

But Miss Swan didn't believe that theory.

"Seth!" she choked on panic loudly, taken by surprise as her body reacted to get to him - only to be restrained by the cold one. This caused her worry and anger to sky rocket as she clawed and jerked wildly to break free, her poor vision struggling to follow Seth's form. "NOO!" She screeched, rebellious to being restrained from helping the pup.

My eyes narrowed. Well, well. She has some unique aura there. I tilted my head. So bright…

But as if dousing out a fire, it slowly dimmed with the twisting words of the Cullen boy, trying to persuade her that Seth was indeed fine. She paid no heed.

I smirked. That wouldn't help. As it seems, the effect has already been kicked into motion for her. She's already started the bond forming.

But he continued and, to my surprise, I felt the weak shift – and she latched onto it. I frowned, appalled. How did he..? I shifted, concentrating on this Cullen. What Spirit has predicted was no joke. He has no bond and yet... I gently shook my head. Its still so odd, I didn't understand. Even at his advantage, it's incredibly hard...to...

Catching a flicker, I paused. No, wait.

I took a closer look at this cold one, zeroing in...

Ah, I see. So he's the one that her blood sings to. Strange, her blood is in fact the sweetest I've ever smelled, similar to Spirit's, and I will also say that it is impressive that he can resist…

But catching something else, my eyes narrowed. Hm, but he's not as numb to her blood's calling as he make it seem.

In fact, it's strange on its own, how these two interact. It is normal for a human to be corrupted and falsely lead by a vampire. Its apart of our charm, the ultimate predator, a game of lion and lamb. But this? This was different, and Isabella wasn't anything normal. In fact, her whole image and actions next to these Cullens were very…peculiar. And to think, as some sort of icing on this cake, what is the Volturi's game being played here?

The corner of my lips lifted. So many questions, so many answers, so many, many possibilities.

I continued to silently study the turn of events, watching as a female newborn, who controls invisibility, blindly try to attack. I piped a brow. Hm, she didn't even know who she wants to attack. Just another confused newborn who has been snatched into this world on lies, it would seem.

But then Isabella's aura flickered dangerously. Third time's the charm. It's impressive, I'll give that. Shows a capability of being strong, yes. Uncontrolled, check. And lastly, Dangerous to not only others but herself? Absolutely. So in any case, time to douse again. This wasn't the time nor place. Not Yet Isa..

Concentrating on her, I stretched it to peer into her being and extracted a layer to wrap around her aura, encasing it before pulling back. And just like that, everything seemed to snap back to normal. Opening my eyes to peer at her, I checked just to make sure and almost laughed at her heightened confusion and fear. She really was an open book. A lot like Renee, she was.

She slumped like a sack against the one she's mentally encased around. Yet her heart's string leads away. It's a sad thing. If she's anything like Spirit, she's going to cause a lot more pain and loss than needed…

Suddenly, her eyes were focused on mine. Visions shot like a bullet of pain through my mind's eye. And from just that one look, I've became more surprised, excited and worried than I have in years.

I smirked, cradling my temple. What observance for a girl who is doused in vamp charm…

But then I frowned. The Visions I was suddenly seeing...Dread formed deep inside me as realization dawned. My spirits, this is more troubling than I previously thought. The sudden realization opened a dam of future possibilities that nearly crippled me.

I stumbled away from the small clearing, trying my best not to choke as I desperately closed it off, dropping into the snow a safe ways from that girl and her make-shift predicament. I was no fool. Not once did anyone other than Isabella sense me.

Gasping for unneeded air, I tried to compose myself. I felt like an untrained weakling again. But nothing could have prepared me for what I've just seen.

Are you alright?

I jumped at the sudden invasion of my mind by the familiar voice. "Goodness" I sighed, covering my cold frozen heart before chuckling humorlessly at my predicament. "Spirit, must you always do that?"

A snort resound through my mind in reply and I smiled. But then frowned again. My findings bringing forth a burning worry into the pit of my stomach. "Spirit, Isabella… She…"

I know of all of that, child.

My brows furrowed as I stood. "You have known? All of this time? Spirit, how dare you not give as little as a warning!? I know she has destiny but what of the Cullens? The Volturi? My spirits, what about the damage that could be done to…

And none of that matters. She dismissed.

My eyes widened. Oh, it did matter. My anger rose. "Spirit. I have known you for a long, long time. And you know of the tragedy I've put many into. And yet, you let this girl, who doesn't know how to steer right when shown but rather steers left – be the cause of much more pain than needed!? What are you and the Gods plying at?!"

Be careful of your tongue with me. I don't know much but I know enough. You know that. Don't turn this into a personal issue. It throws many things off balance and you don't want to be the tip of that, do you? She demanded, her voice like frozen razors. Each word striking my brain and sending shivers throughout my body.

I remained silent, hearing her reasoning before bowing my head. "Yes" I sighed. But I didn't like this. There is no telling where this could steer now.

Besides, you have other worries…

My eyes popped open. No… she couldn't mean…

Exactly, my dear. Angry wolf, 4 o' clock.

My eyes widened as an image was pushed into my mind. My chest ached at the vision. "Oh my… that's…is that…?" I couldn't believe it. He was so beautiful...

Focus. Spirit snapped. I need you to veer him away from Isabella.

I was baffled. "You couldn't really expect me to…"

You must and you WILL. A lot is going on this. It just has to be this way.

"B-but…I…I can't" I whispered. For the second time since I have awoken to this life, I was shaken and scared. I shook my head. The vision bouncing in my mind, taunting and so painful I almost felt human again. No, I couldn't. Not like this.

Listen to me. Do not show yourself, stay out of sight. Just let him catch your scent. I'm sorry to do this to you but I have no scent. Just lead a trail, you're vampire. Make sure to catch his attention and run. Don't look back child, just run. When I give the word, cover your scent and return home. She ordered, obviously trying to make this as painless and easy as possible.

I breathed deeply, my palms rubbing against my thighs as I tried to think of a better way out of this.

There is no time! He's near so go! Go now! She growled.

I closed my eyes, tears that would never fall brimming my vision as I set into a sprint, my chest aching as I caught his sent and grudgingly began the cat and mouse game as I leaped gracefully into a tree. It didn't take long to catch his attention and after a brief pause, and a livid growl later, he was high on my tail.

I bit my lip as I fought not to glance back, to have just one glance. But my love, guilt, shame, and – most of all – my given task kept me from caving. I breathed deeply as I squashed my lashing emotions and focused on what needed to be done.

At least now I know for myself that he's okay…for now.

I'm sorry for this, child. Spirit spoke gently, acknowledging my pain.

Just, cover him as much a you are able. Please, keep protection over him. Do so or so help anyone…

You have my word.

I sighed, listening to the growls chasing and threatening to envelop me. I shook my head. No, I meant emotionally.

There was no reply.

My heart sunk and my vision gleamed with more tears. He didn't deserve there no hope…?

I will do my best. Spirit's voice resounded with a sigh.

I released a shaky breath. It wasn't absolute, but I will take it. Thank you.

I ducked a tree branch and leaped to the right, steering back towards the newborn battle, where he needed to be.

Lose him, cover your scent.

Remain strong, Jake.

With that, I sped up, the scent and sounds of Jacob's wolf fading behind me as I masked my scent and twisted into another direction, keeping my word not to look back.

And oh how my chest ached at the action…

Hunt, child. Then rest.

I nodded, sniffing before pushing all of those thoughts away and pushing myself to the limit.

Everything is embedded far deeper and is more tangled than I could ever expect.

Okay! That is the sixth chapter for you guys! Sorry it's so short but I feel that this chapter was needed. And who is this mystery person you say? Yeah, like I'm really going to tell you. This person is an original though and her part in this story is done now so….no need to think more of it. *laughs evilly* but expect the unexpected because every small thing could be a big thing and every big could be a small. *smirk*

… yeah, I don't know what that really means either. *shrugs* I'm just swinging it.

Seriously, that's what I'm doing here. -_-
