Hello again! Well, here's chapter three, it's kinda short I know, but it has a lot of important info in it. Well, I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 3.

Caleb's POV

I couldn't believe it. Why would they make up such a ridiculous lie to keep me away from Megan? She had promised me she hadn't been planning on hurting anyone on the way home from my house.

Dude, she's a vampire. It's not like she's anyone important. A voice said. It was coming from inside my head. For a moment I thought I was going crazy, but then I remembered Mom telling me about pack mentality. Name's Koda. Leah may call the shots while I'm not here, but when I come back, I'm in charge, he continued.

Shut up Koda. That's totally untrue. You're more obnoxious than your father, which we all thought was physically impossible, but somehow you pulled it off. Leah said.

A small grey wolf and a big black wolf came running up on either side of me. I could tell the grey wolf was Leah and the black one was Koda.

Why did you lie to me? I demanded.

Caleb, we aren't lying to you. Why would we lie to you about something this serious? Leah said.

Maybe you just want to keep me away from her. I pouted, trying to run around Koda to bolt again, but he kept getting in front of me.

Why do you even care? She's just a stupid bloodsucker. Koda scoffed.

Don't talk about her like that! I shouted, attempting to pin him down. How dare he? He didn't even know her!

Oh my God… Leah said. I knew he had actually pinned me instead of what I intended, but he hadn't hurt me.

Haha, he didn't… Koda snickered.

Guys that's really not nice. It's not his fault. A new, toffee colored, wolf said.

Shut up Kenley. This is too good. Koda mocked.

Is that the one who we're gonna fight? The new wolf asked.

Not anymore… Leah sighed. Oh God, Kelsey's gonna kill me…quickly followed by you, Caleb, and anyone who tries to intervene.

What? I asked. It wasn't that I was injured, I didn't feel injured. It might have been my outburst in the house; Mom had been on edge all day and that probably hadn't helped.

You imprinted on a bloodsucker! Koda laughed. He thought this was too funny, along with the fact he still had me pinned to the ground.

Before I could even ask the question Leah explained. It's when you meet your perfect match, you'd do anything for them, it makes you feel all wonderful to be around them...blah blah blah, you get the point. Leah had obviously given this talk many times.

So we can't kill her because of Caleb? Way to go new guy. Yet another wolf said. This one was dark brown.

Yeah… a third new wolf, this one bronze, added. They all started to complain.

Guys relax. We still need to be on guard. Caleb cares about Megan, but she may not feel the same way. It'd be stupid for any one of us to kill her, but it's our duty to protect humans, so we need to be prepared to restrain her, then maybe Caleb can talk some sense into his girlfriend. Leah said.

I sighed. They were serious weren't they? Megan was really out to get my family. Could I still love her if she killed Aunt Abby?

A resentful yes was the resounding answer from the pack.

Leave me alone! I growled. Koda finally let me up. I just wanted to be alone in my head to think about this. Suddenly a question popped into my mind. Can I control myself? Would I kill Aunt Abby if Megan asked me to?

I don't know Caleb. I just don't know. No one's ever imprinted on a vampire before, but I don't think you're like her minion or something, you'd probably try everything to get her to change her mind, but I don't think you have to do whatever she wants.

I didn't know though. It just seemed so easy when I was around Megan. Everything she said and did made sense; she could probably talk me into it before I could talk her out of it.

Have more confidence in yourself Caleb. You're smarter than you're making yourself out to be. Kenley said comfortingly.

I have to talk to her. I have to tell her not to come. If either of them gets hurt it'll be all my fault because I insisted on bringing Megan to my house.

Not now Caleb. Maybe later, but first we have to train you and teach you about vampires and wolves. You do know the legends right?
I nodded. My parents, as well as Grandpa, had told them to me all the time because I had always asked them too. Even Aunt Abby and Grandad knew them from listening to me being told them so often; I had even started to tell them to Ivy occasionally.

Well, knowing your mom, she'll probably call up a vampire or two, but I guess I can let her tell you about that later. All you need to know now is that there are two types of vampires. Vegetarian vampires, like the ones who used to live here, feed on animals only. In the best case scenario you could convince Megan to become this type of vampire. Then there are regular vampires which compose most of the vampire population. If you see a vampire, you can assume it's not a vegetarian. These are the vampires that may come up for this, Leah flashed a series of vampires through my head. Carlisle, the leader and father figure, Esme, his wife and the mother, and their "children" Edward, Bella, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, and Ava, as well as the vampire hybrid Renesmee. They all looked like they came straight out of a movie (well, one that took place at the North Pole because of their pale skin).

Really, she's going to call up more bloodsuckers? Koda complained.

Yes, the Cullens have helped us a few times and they'll probably be more than willing to help again. Leah explained.

Why? We can do it ourselves. Britta, the dark brown wolf, argued.

That doesn't really matter, they'll just come as a part of the 24/7 protection Abby will need.

Then that's good. As long as no one gets hurt. I said. The sun was starting to set. Can we just go back to the house now?

Yeah, it is getting late. Kenley said. I'll come up with you.

Thanks... I said. She did realize I imprinted, right?

Don't worry about her, she's just being the obnoxious suck up she was born as. Channing said. Even sharing the womb with her was unbearable.

Besides, Lena's the one that likes you, Britta giggled.

And Lena is...?

The youngest, Britta flashed her image through my head, she's only twelve, and she hasn't turned yet.

Oh...um...okay...please don't tell my parents about the whole imprinting thing, I want to tell them myself I said, mainly to Leah, but the others could do me the favor too. This was all really getting to be too much. I turned around and started to trot back to the house.

Wait here, I left my clothes just outside the forest, then I'll go get yours. Kenley said, running up ahead. I heard the soft wolf steps turn into much louder human steps as her feet crunched on the ground. In a few minutes she was back and she patiently waited, turned around of course, until I put my clothes back on.

"I know the pack seems really dysfunctional right now, but usually we're not that mean, I guess most of them have to get used to the fact that you imprinted on a vampire. It's never happened before," Kenley said as we walked back to the house.

"What am I supposed to tell everyone?" I asked. There was just so much information I'd gotten in such little time. If I could avoid it I might just not tell Mom and Dad about Megan, but right now I needed someone who I could physically tell it to without them freaking out over it.

"Kenley!" I heard her mom call.

"Sorry Caleb, I'd help, but I've got to go," Kenley said, jogging off.

I couldn't believe my luck, and all in one day! I thought I'd found the perfect girl, but no, she's out to kill my family. I thought I was going to find some friends to help me figure out how to live in my mutant freak form, but no, all I got was a bickering bunch of children it seemed, even though every one of them was older than me. I picked up a rock and hurled it at the nearest tree. I actually managed to knock of a pretty big branch. I threw a few more stones and knocked off a few more branches, each fell to the ground with a satisfying thud.

"Is everything okay?" I heard a voice ask from behind me. I jumped a little, I hadn't heard her coming. I spun around to see that it was one of the vampires that Leah had showed me, the one with the long, curly, dark brown hair, and the soft expression. I couldn't remember her name although I remember that Leah had stumbled over it, mixing her up with the harsh looking blonde girl. I doubted she knew who I was, which was perfect.

"No, not really..." I sighed. "You see, I imprinted on this girl..."

"What are you talking about? That's wonderful!" she exclaimed, seeming extremely excited. Maybe she did know me.

"It would be, but she's a vampire," I said.

"So? I'm pretty sure no one cares that much anymore."

"But I bet you're not seeking revenge on my family."

"Oh...you're right, that is bad," she said slowly, a worried look coming across her face.

"Uggh!" I cried, burying my face into my hands. "This is all my fault!"

"No, no...I wouldn't say that," she started, putting her hand on my shoulder. It was cold just like Megan's. I could also smell the vampire scent, and although I knew it bothered some of the wolves, it didn't bother me, it almost smelled good, even though it was better on Megan. "You can't help who you imprint on, and if she was looking for revenge she would have found you eventually," she sighed. "I should have figured she'd come after you. Vampires are almost as vicious as Shapeshifters when it comes to protecting and avenging their mates. Have you tried talking to her?"

I shrugged. I didn't know what I would do around her. I mean, I loved her, as strange as it sounded I loved her, it wasn't like I could rip her guts out, but it also wasn't like I could just give her permission to rip my family apart. "No, not yet, but that's what the pack wants me to do. They want me to talk to her after they catch her."

"What if that doesn't work?" she asked.

"I don't know..." I said shaking my head.

"So are you going to go talk to her before she gets here or are you going to just wait?"

"I guess I'll just wait for now. My Aunt Abby's pretty well protected up here with so many wolves, and Leah told me that a few of you were coming up."

Her face paled even more if that were possible. "Abby?"

"That's what Leah said."

She took a deep breath. "Oh, okay. I don't know if any of the others are coming up, Edward and Alice said they'd come if I wasn't back in a few days."

I tried to recall their faces. Alice was the one with the really short black hair, but I couldn't remember which one was Edward.

"I was just heading up to the Black's house if you wanted to come up with me. You know, unless you wanted to keep demolishing the forest," she offered. "I'm Ava by the way, Ava Cullen," she added as we started to walk together.

Ava! I knew it! "I'm Caleb," I said.

Ava smiled. "I thought I recognized you! Your mom has told me so much about you! It's so nice to finally meet you!" she said excitedly. Thinking of the Cullens I remembered something that my mom had said.

"Wait, my mom said you guys were in South America. How'd you get up here so fast?"

"Well as soon as I got your mom's call I went to the airport," she grinned, "and let's just say that just about every male in the airport was either easily wooed or easily bribed, so I was able to catch a flight to northern California, and I ran from there."

"You ran?" I asked in astonishment. We were in northern Washington, extremely far away from even the California border.

"Of course! It's much faster than a car or other human modes of transportation, and as long as you stay in the wooded areas no one sees you," she laughed. Then another thought popped into my mind.

"You're friends with my mom right?" I asked.

"You could say that," she said.

"Can you please not tell her about this, or my dad, or anyone really? I want to wait to tell them until after this is all sorted out so that there aren't as many hard feelings towards Megan."

Ava bit her lip. "I guess I can do that...as long as it's not a life or death situation or anything."

"Thank you so much!" I smiled.

Finally we made it up to Grandma and Grandpa's house. About thirty feet away Ava stopped. She seemed pretty tense, just staring at the house like she was in a trance or something. "Are you coming?" I asked, nudging her forward a little.

"Oh! Um...yeah, I'm coming," she said nervously taking a step forward.

"C'mon, they're not going to eat you, they're not even going to attack you," I joked.

"Okay! I'm coming!" she chuckled nervously, finally following me into the house. Once we got in all her nervousness seemed to fade away.

Okay, I need to thank my cousin Shelby for coming up with Ellie and all her children (all the wolves mentioned except for Leah), as well as Megan for continuing to let me use her name and helping with ideas. I hope to post soon, so tell me what you think of the different POVs. Like? Dislike? If there are any POVs you'd like to see coming up soon just tell me, Kelsey's next and so far I've got Ava for a chapter in the near future and maybe Collin or Abby for a chapter later on. Thanks again!
