Hello! Here's chapter three of Lone Wolf. Here's the surprise... it's finally in Sara's perspective!

You're going to get a good view on Sara and her past. She's a very unique character.

Hope you enjoy!

Every last one of them went up in an almost explosive silence. They glared at me; Jaspers lips curling in a silent scowl, Rose's eyes strong, but still shocked, Alice's trusting eyes looking hurt and defenseless, Emmet, still and focused, staring with his big eyes as if giving a silent plea that I was only joking. What hurt me the most was looking over to Bella.

Her face was completely drained of color, her eyes were glassy, as if about to water over, and wide. She looked hurt, but for what I had no idea. She was the one who had befriended the vampires. At the beginning of the day I didn't trust anyone, other than her. She seemed to be the only rational human on earth, the only human that felt comfortable being a part of both worlds.

When I saw the vampires so close…

As soon as I got out of the car their scent hit me like a brick wall, sickly sweet and overflowing with life. Stolen life that each and every one of them had to kill in order to achieve. The first thing I wanted to do was get back into the car and drive off, but I couldn't leave Bella in a place like that. I wouldn't leave her to such monsters.

After doing a quick and unnoticeable search of the forest I looked around the parking lot, only hoping to find Bella alone, not surrounded by friends. But luck wasn't with me I guess. Actually, luck was against me.

All around her, completely surrounding her, was a coven a vampire.

I could tell the signs from just one glance; the flawless skin, the perfect posture, the unattainable beauty. Just the way they stood alone was enough to give away what they were. They're stance was almost hostile, but they remained perfectly still, only shifting from foot to foot to make it seem like they were human. Normal humans swayed their arms or did something, but they just did little movements here and there.

Normal people wouldn't catch onto that as quickly as I did, if they ever caught onto it at all. Lucky for me, I wasn't normal. I was trained for things like these; I had learned so many strategies for running away from and possibly killing vampires. I could take them, but it wouldn't be easy.

Bella stood there staring nervously at me, waiting for me to approach her or run away, but there was no way I was leaving her with those leeches.

I walked quickly to get to the group, but I had to remind myself to look calm and complete- they would pick up on anything unusual about me, so it's better safe than sorry. As I neared, Bella walked casually up to meet me half way, trying to look strong and excited but failing miserably.

I hugged her slightly-happy to see she was alive- and pulled away just enough, so that I could get into the fight without causing any harm to her. I put the most uninviting look on my face and stared at the group, watching them all, but not really paying attention to anything at the same time.

The whole coven went up in alarm, each one of them doing their part in removing the threat. I was just about to spring on the largest one who kept staring in alarm and coiling his muscles, when I felt the odd sensation of intrusion in the back of my mind.

In that instant I could tell perfectly well what was going on, but what I couldn't stop was the shock that raced through my body. I had only felt that sensation once before in my entire life, but it was all to familiar.

Either Rudi was somewhere around here or one of the vampires could read minds.

Wanting to eliminate the first probability I immediately looked around the group to look for any stares that indicated that they were try to get a good read of my mind. It only took me half a second to find that the smallest male was straining to find something that wasn't visible to the others.

Going into survival mood, I organized my mind, making it impossible for him to get any of my real thoughts. I carefully choose the thoughts that would fill my mind and used that as a mask to cover up what was really going on in my head.

For a moment it seemed as if everything had stopped in slow motion, but I knew immediately recalled that this was my brains natural survival tactics. My vision focused in on the largest member of the coven. He was much larger than me and probably weighed twice as much as me, but I wasn't nearly as weak as I looked. He is the type who depended mainly on his strengths to fight, so that is what I needed to use against him. First I would land a solid kick in the middle of his chest. That would momentary stun him, sending him to the ground. From there on I would pull out the concealed weapon that I had in my right boot.

My hand was already poised and ready to pull it out in a moment's notice. A quick crouch and it was in my grasps, making the fight almost completely even. My weapon was nothing the human world has ever dreamed of. Capable of slicing through diamond like a hot knife through butter, it was the ultimate weapon. My people call it a Shynx, which meant protection in my native tongue. I had used it on many strong vampires, some stupid humans, and even some of my own. I could kill just about anything with it. My guardian had hand carved it from the remains of a fallen werewolf, and now it was the only thing that stood between my life and any fool who would dare attack me.

It wouldn't kill them, but it would attract a lot of unwanted attention. I probably would have to lure them into the woods after a few attacks just so the struggle isn't heard by humans.

The fight played out inside my head until it had reached the end which was me standing strong and victorious.

That's when I remembered the story about vampires living in Forks. I had heard a few people by the reservation not too far away from here talking about them- the cold one's- and what they really were. I did something to confirm the stories that I knew was not the smart thing to do.

I stared into the mind reading leeches golden eyes and almost heaved a sigh of relief. Not blood red eyes, but golden eyes, the color of honey, stared back. This was the "vegetarian" coven, the ones who only fed on animal blood and walked among the human, the pale faces. This was one of the two legendary covens who had enough control to not attack every innocent bystander that happened to cross their paths.

I let my muscles uncoil and slowly relaxed every muscle in my body. I wasn't going to hurt and of them if they weren't a threat, that would be a waste of time and would do more harm than good.

I said the only thing that I could think of, ready to take Bella away from them. I may not want to kill them, but there was no way I was going to risk Bella's- the only real friend I've had for… a long time- life by leaving her here with them. She was so innocent, and even though she was more observant and knew more than other humans, she didn't belong with killers. How this coven could pretend they're normal around her was… just… cruel.

"You must be the Cullens. I've heard of you, you're the Doctors adopted kids." I tried not to, but adopted came out more sarcastically than I wanted it to.

Breathing carefully to steady myself, I waited for Bella to say something.

Then a high pitched Hello came from the pixie like vampire that was rushing up to Bella and me. She did exactly the opposite thing I would ever think any sane vampire who cared about their life would do. She looped a bare arm around Bella's waist and pulled her in close so that their bodies where close enough that Bella would be able to feel the cold ice of rock hard skin that covered the vampire. Bella didn't cringe away or even get a small shock from the skin contact, she actually welcomed it.

Bella knew exactly what all of them were, I could see that deep within her eyes, and she welcomed them as if they were her family. She loved them more than she could love anything. She was the human that ran with vampires. She was lyfex. She was the human who was a part of both worlds; who excepted it like she was born into it.

No wonder she was the only friend I could make in so long…

The table was still deadly silent, with all eyes turned on me.

At the beginning of the day all I wanted to do was get away from these vile monsters that surrounded me, but as it progressed I could understand how Bella could love them. Each and every one of them was strong and beautiful, unique in ways that others could only wish to be unique in. They weren't like the soulless fiends that roomed the night in search of new pray, or the lost beings that were more animal that man.

These vampires were more human than anything. I didn't care if they were only putting on most of this for a show; I knew that there was a real person behind each of them.

Alice was beautiful, small, and always open and perceptive. She was comforting to be around, always singing or dancing. She never walks, she's always prancing, buy only when she isn't dancing.(A/N: Leave a review telling me what song that is from, and which band sings it! ) She had this aura of happiness and love surrounding her wherever she went. I didn't think she could hurt a fly, but there was strength beneath her small posterior.

Rose was strong, graceful, and independent. She didn't seem like the type of person who could love anyone, but she was more than capable of it. She had to stay strong; she had to be the female who everyone respected, but there was a soft side to her. She kept that side locked up, but when she was with people she loved and knew she could trust it slipped open. She was entertaining and not like anyone else.

Emmet; strong, crude, loveable, and above all, humorous. He was wild and didn't even try to hide it. He was always looking for a fight, but he never really wanted hurt someone with no reason. He was like a giant, loving dog that followed you around and tried to play with you whenever you least expected it; still a puppy, trying to be a big dog. He thought he knew all about the darker side to life; he thought he knew what fighting and wars all lead to, but in reality, he knows only small bits of the evils that surround us all.

Jasper kept to himself, but his loving side was clear to see. He didn't want to be evil or a monster. He was tough and most likely the one with the most fighting experience in his history, but Alice helped bring out the soft and light side of him. He was wise and knew more about evil than the rest of them. He had the look in his eyes. He was a warrior at some point in life. He had the walk of an elderly lion on the prowl. The most experienced of the herd, but he was still marked with all of the scars from his past.

And last, Edward. He was the oldest of all of them, his past filled with dark secrets and lonely corners, but when he was around Bella, it was like all of the past disappeared and all that mattered was what was happening at that second in time. He knew what it was like to have to make a decision that no one else could make. He knew what it took to be a leader.

All of them were like nothing I'd ever met before and they deserved to know what was going on. They weren't monsters, unlike the ones I've killed before. They deserved to live, and they also deserved to Bella.

It was time for me to explain things to them. It was my turn to tell them my secret.

"I could never fear you, not when I know you." I looked to Alice, finding a weird comfort in her eyes. "And I guess you deserve and explanation."

Jasper took hold of the situation and stood up. "Not here. Everyone, outside."

He left the table and headed for the exit that lead to the parking lot. I could already see him focusing on the forest that surrounded the school.

Alice, Rose, and Emmet got up and followed him out. Bella and Edward waited for me to get up before they left their seats.

We all left in an orderly fashion that attracted no attention, besides a few glances that only lasted a half a minute before they turned back and continued with their lives. I couldn't help but feel my heart start to speed up and pound in my chest, threatening to break free. I kept any emotion from creeping onto my face or disrupting my walk. Each step I took was controlled and made no noise. My breath silent and steady, I stared ahead focusing on the back of Roses head. I walked just as gracefully as them, but my steps were stronger and each one was carefully measured and full of power. At a seconds notice I could run away from them or dodge any attacks.

We walked until we were deep into the forest, almost completely surrounded by trees or bushed, but the trees were not bunched together and a little bit of sun light was getting through. The Cullens skin reflected the light in little shards of rainbows while they walked through it. The way each of them walked almost made me scared, but I was to used to this to really be frightened.

Jasper finally stopped when we were too far away from the school for anyone to hear or find us; which also meant that no one would be able to hear if anyone were to scream.

The coven made a small semi circle and almost surrounded me. Edward had Bella held tightly in his arms, as if he were protecting her from me. But… oh, he was holding her there. If this got out of hand the coven would have to deal with me, of course he didn't want Bella to try and stop it.

Emmet had a wild smile on his face, clearly enjoying this. "So, how'd you know? And if you know, you must be really stupid to have come all the way out here, alone, where no one could save you if we decided to do you off."

I couldn't help myself; I smiled.

I reached down into my right boot and pulled out the Shynx for the group to see. None of them seemed to see exactly what it was, but after a few seconds almost all of them were laughing. The great thing about my weapon is that it first appeared to be a knife with a wooden blade. True, the foot long weapon was weighted like a real sword and carefully wrapped with what looked like silk, but it was nothing like what it appeared to be. The blade was sharper than any other blade and never got dull. It looked like wood, but the blade was actually werewolf remains, able to cut vampires easily. The silk wrap was actually a finely lace cotton, dipped in the blood of a vampire venom, which gave it the odd black color.

It was made so precisely like this so that no normal human could hold it, the pain would be too much to bear. It also took an exceptionally trained warrior to wield it; you had to put a lot of force behind an attack to get it to actually pierce the skin. I had trained all of my life, since I could walk. I had nonstop fighting classes given by the strongest of warriors, learning every weak point in the human, vampire, and werewolf body. There wasn't one part of the body that I couldn't identify and take down. I had killed my first vampire at the age of ten.

By the time I was twelve I was the strongest warrior in my tribe, beating the elders without breaking a sweat and dealing a clean death to any obstacle that was presented to me. Everyone looked up to me as if I were an elder itself, but my childhood wasn't like any other. My past was the darkest that anyone could imagine…

I felt the tears welling up in my eyes, but they wouldn't escape. I knew how to control my emotions better than anyone.

"You're a silly human, you know that?" Emmet said, almost falling to the ground laughing. "Wood doesn't work on real vampires. It's all a stupid myth. That won't even break our skin."

My lips curled up in a sick smile. "I know wood won't do any good, which is why this isn't made from it. If you don't believe me, come over here and I'll show you what I can really do."

The group stopped laughing, but the humor was still in everyone's eyes.

"Okay, that what is it, little Sara?" Jasper asked with his odd smile.

"This? This is a Shynx; the ultimate weapon. I wouldn't doubt my skills if I were you." I still had that smile on my face.

"If that's not wood, then what is it?" Rose asked trying not to sound too pushy.

Alice's lip stared to tremble as she got that far away look in her eyes. She swallowed noisily out of nervousness, vampires only needed to swallow when there was blood in or near their mouths.

"It's…you…it's made from the bones of werewolf. She has a weapon made from the bone of a werewolf. A real werewolf." Alice sounded small and distant, fear showing clear on her face.

"Correction, the bone of a werewolf. My guardian killed it himself, but only because the monster was trying to kill our village." I remembered the history of the blade in a sweet memorial. "I'm not afraid to use it either. I really don't want to use it on you but-"

I could just barely see the movement Jaspers leg that showed that he was about to come at me from my right side and swipe the blade away, but the one glance was enough to ready me for the attack. In one fluid movement Jasper was running toward me, poised and ready to remove the only thing I have to protect myself for now. I balanced on my left foot and pointed the blade of my Shynx towards my chest and balled my fists to make one strong point for impact. When Jasper was in the exact position I needed for him to be in I exerted all of the force I could, pivoting on my hips and bringing the blow from the bottom of me to the top and swung. The handle of my Shynx landed square in the middle of his chest and all of my force was exerted on him.

Jasper let out a strangled hiss and went flying backwards. I used all of his accumulated speed and force against him so he just experienced all of my exerted energy and all of his at the same time. It would be painful, but in a few minutes he would be up on his feet with all traces of ever being hurt gone. The coven gasped when Jasper landed on a tall spruce tree, making a painful cracking noise that echoed throughout the forest.

"I don't want to hurt you! Please, stop trying to fight!" I was screaming as loud as my lungs would allow. I could faintly see Emmet getting ready to strike. "Emmet! Stop! Please, don't do it!"

Emmet looked at me in shock, not even Rose had noticed him and she was pressed tightly against him.

"Please, I don't want to hurt any of you, I'm not going to hurt any of you! Just let me explain!" I was trying to argue with a vampire which was about as hard as arguing with a storm that is threatening to strike you with lightning.

Alice was next to Jasper, asking him if he was okay or if there was anything wrong. I could see where the impact I made was. In the center of his chest- his shirt was ripped in many places thanks to the branches of the tree- was a grouping of cracked shards. It looked like a cracked diamond. Jasper clutched his chest and let out a yowl of pain. I knew just how much that move could hurt, but the most painful part was the humiliation of being defeated. Alice was frantically trying to help him, but his skin was already starting to heal.

Jasper was gasping and scrambling to his feet, trying to put Alice behind him. He was going to attack again.

"No! Jasper, stop! She's not going to hurt us! Please, don't!" Alice was trying to stop him, but his mind was in caught in one place.

Remove the threat.

"Jasper, Stop! I'm not going to hurt you unless you hurt me! Just stop!" I was trying to reason with him, but the bloodlust in his eyes was taking over him.

I looked to Edward to see him looking confused and frantic, but he wasn't going to do anything.

"Keep Bella away from him!" I screamed to him, taking his attention. "He's out of control right now! He could slip up."

Edward pulled Bella away from the fight, against her pleading not to. He was bringing her to safety. He pulled her arms over his shoulders and bolted off in the direction of the school.

Emmet and Alice were trying to get Jasper under control, but he was too far into the fight. He was determined to win. Alice looked hysteric, she kept shaking him and trying everything possible, but he wouldn't listen. She didn't want either of us to get hurt.

It was then when I discovered that I couldn't kill him. He may be attacking me, but I couldn't kill him even if he had caused real damage to me. Jasper wasn't even looking at the blade anymore, his target was me. His eyes were locked on me and he had a murderous expression covering his face. I wouldn't be able to cut him with my blade and kill him. I wouldn't be able to inject him with the venom that could kill any creature. I couldn't burn him either, it would be too painful.

I was only going to ward him off; get him tired and weak before I made him listen to me. He needed to get a better grip over himself.

He crouched down, coiling his muscles for attack, baring his teeth like a savage beast. One bite from those teeth, one lick of that venom in my system and I would be down. I wouldn't die, or turn into a vampire though. It would only knock me out or leave a scar, but I would still be alive and… me.

Jasper sprang for me, arms out in front of him so he could grab me before he used his best weapon on me. He was going to restrain me, render me defenseless before he bit me. I could tell that in this state he would probably drink my blood too, but it would not do him any good. My blood smells just fine and tastes like any ordinary type of blood, but it's not what a vampire wants. My blood doesn't contain life, and that's what a vampire needs from blood. But just I'm sure he'd enjoy it anyway.

I ducked and rolled so I would meet Jasper as soon as he landed, right in front of him. Jasper grabbed my shoulders with both of his hands and tried to push me down, but I was quick and ready. Grabbing his left wrist, I twisted out of his grasp and using all of the control I had, rolled over again and pulled him with me. Jasper fell to the ground, but quickly rebounded. I pulled away from his cold skin and grabbed a tight hold on my blade, ready to pierce him with it. Jasper darted behind me and tried to grab hold of my hair, but I flipped the Shynx in my hand and stabbed him in the stomach. He howled another sound of pain that sent chills down my spine. He grabbed his stomach where the blade had ripped his skin. I hadn't noticed until then, but my jacket was shredded to bits and was starting to get in my way.

I ripped it off with a quick twitch of my arm and was left in my T-shirt, but I didn't feel cold at all. The adrenalin from the fight was too heavy for me to focus on anything else. Jasper let go of his stomach and looked around to find me again, but I was still moving fast, trying hard to stay out of his line of sight.

Before I could move again Jasper was right in front of me, but this time I wasn't ready for the attack. He slapped the Shynx out of my hand and sent it flying twenty yards away. Unlike the rest of my fights, this one was during the day so I didn't have that one advantage that would save me in this situation. Jasper was about to strike me, mouth open, teeth ready to sink into any of the exposed skin on my body, but with a strike of unimaginable fate, he was stopped. Emmet had jasper in a tight hold and held safely away from me.

Emmet had actually saved me; he had actually gone against his brother and helped me! I would have never believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. A vampire was helping save me from another member of his coven, and I was sure that Emmet didn't have any territorial hold on me. He wasn't in love with me and I wasn't from any part of his past as far as I knew, but there he was, gripping his brother to keep him from hurting me.

I immediately felt an immense gratitude for Emmet, but when Alice and Rose started to hold the escaping Jasper away from me I felt as if I could cry. I hadn't had anyone try to protect me in any way in my whole life. I was always supposed be strong and able to withstand myself so my tribe never tried to save me in general from anything. I have always been on my own or a student, never a regular woman who was used to cook or clean. I had never been in love and no one has ever been in love with me.

I've always been alone.

But right at that moment I felt protected, even if they weren't doing this to save me, I was still more than thankful to them.

I ran to get my Shynx; it was the only thing that I had to fight, the only thing I could use to protect myself in the daytime. No one tried to stop me, but I could hear Jaspers raging voice screaming for release. I grabbed the weapon and tucked it into my right boot again, feeling the sharp blade scrape against my skin. I didn't exactly know if I should run home or go back and explain myself, but when I saw Edward racing to his family I knew what I had to do.

There was no running; I don't run from them. Bella was the only friend I have had in so long… there would be no leaving her behind. I couldn't run away from this. I was going to face it head on and clean up the mess I have created.

Edward and Emmet were restraining Jasper when I got there. Rose and Alice trying to calm him down, having a little more luck this time. They continued that until Jasper was completely calm and in control. He wouldn't look at me. He was either ashamed of himself or me.

Jasper stood up carefully, not making eye contact with me still, and held Alice's hand tightly. He was calm now, he was going to ask me questions.

"I'm sorry." That seemed to be all that he could get out.

"Are you hurt? Did the blade do too much damage? Oh, I'm so sorry." I hung my head and let my hair cover my face. "I didn't want to, I didn't mean to."

Jasper's head shot up and he gave me an astonished expression. "What? You're sorry? You did nothing, but try to keep your life. I could have killed you!" He clenched his fists.

He was diffidently mad at himself. He was ashamed that he didn't have control over himself.

"But I didn't. You were so skilled and fast. You kept dodging all of my attacks. How could you do that?" Jasper looked more like a confused puppy than a monster right now.

"Years and years of training," I answered in an age old way. "I told you I could take you guys, I knew I could. I've been doing it for years."

"So you… hunt vampires and werewolves?" Emmet asked slowly.

I shook my head and laughed. "Not anymore, I only do it to protect myself. I used to do it like it was a job, but that was a long, long time ago."

"How do you know how to do all of that stuff? How could you possibly do something like that?" Edward asked still straining to hear what I was thinking. "What's wrong with your head? You're thinking about finals when you're surrounded by vampires!"

I snarled at him. "Get out of my head you annoying gnat! I never gave you permission! You're damn lucky I know how to prearrange my thoughts or I'd be very upset right now. You have no right to try anyway!" The mind reading struck a chord that I didn't like struck.

Edward didn't stop though, he tried harder.

"Stop or this will really hurt." I said as I started to count down from five.

He wasn't leaving though, he deliberately dug deeper, but he wasn't going to find anything. I sent a pulse of memory to cover up my thoughts of the worst kind of pain I've ever felt in my life. The memory was so strong that I could almost feel the pain, but I was under control. Edward on the other hand was pushed out of my mind and blasted with all the pain the memory held. Edward screamed loudly and tried to cover his head with his arms to ward off the pain, but the memory was gone by then.

"I guess you're not so lucky that I know how to deal with mind readers. I'm sorry, but it's all about survival in this world." I looked down at my dirt boots and tried not to think about the pained look that covered his face just moments ago.

Edward straightened up and struggled to focus in on my face. His words came out smoothly, but the fear in his eyes was easy to see.

"What are you?" All heads turned to me, waiting for the answer.

I thought about that for a second, thinking about if I should really tell them. It could be a death sentence, but they deserved the truth. I should tell them, just get the secret off of my back, but I couldn't trust them. I can't trust anyone with that secret. Not even Bella.

I took a deep breath in. "I'm a well trained human, okay? I am a human who knows too much about your world. I'm a fighter."

It was partly true. Right then I was human, but I couldn't say that at night.

They all took the lie, but I could tell they knew it was a lie deep down. I would cry tonight. I would be in deep pain; I already knew that my past was going to catch up with me as soon as I was alone. All the pain and suffering. All the lonely nights and days. All the secrets kept. Everything I'm ashamed of was going to come crashing down on me like a ton of bricks.

But, for now my secret was safe and sound. No one knew and my fight with the Cullens seemed to be over.

I walked toward the school, leaving the Cullens to themselves. The bell was about to ring any minute and all I wanted to do was go home. It's been a long day.

P.S. answer the question!
