Ch.8 Unexpected Target
I entered the house just to find Seth sitting on the couch while Jacob was pacing and talking on the phone. I sat next to Seth and look around the room trying not to look at Jacob.
"Really? Damn okay okay we'll be there soon." He shut the phone close. He put his hands on his faces and rubbed his temples. I was about to go and comfort him when my cell phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey, wolf girl. You've been hiding! You didn't tell me how much fun you had the carnival!" A masculine voice said. It was Terry. I felt a lump on my throat.
"Hey, Terry." I answered.
"So did you have fun at the carnival?"
"Yeah it was nice. It was huge, you know." I told him.
I couldn't just go yeah and also I kissed Jacob which was like the most fun I had! Ugh. I hated myself. Yet I knew I wanted to see Terry soon. This whole imprinting business is going to be a lot harder than I thought. Jacob came close and gestured for me to give him the phone. I stared at him in surprise; I didn't know what to do. Jacob didn't wait and took the phone away from me. I know I've become nicer after the imprint but I'm still the old Leah.
"Jacob! Give me back the phone!" I hissed. He did the international sign of silent. I got mad.
I got a running start. And jumped with all my might towards Jacob's back. I thought we would both end up tumbling in the ground. I was wrong, Jake managed to catch me. He held me up bridal style. He still held me up with one hand but held the cell phone in the other.
"Yes. Okay, thanks." He puts the cell phone down to my ear.
"Leah, be careful. I'll be at the Cullen's in a few minutes, okay? Take care." Terry's voice was gone. Did Jacob confess? Something was off. Jacob put me down gently.
"Leah, we have to go to the Cullen's. Alice said the trio of vampires will be arriving soon."
I was surprised. I was so immerged into my own problems that I forgot all about the vamps who want to look at the spawn. I was a bit glad; I could finally take off my mind from Terry or Jake for a while. Not to mention I get to kick serious ass against the new leeches.
"Let's go." Said Jacob. He said that Edward lend us Bella's Ferrari to get there. We would need a fast car just in case. It didn't smell much like bloodsucker. Bella doesn't like Ferraris. Another reason why I don't like her, I mean who hates freaking Ferraris?! Honestly. We got to the Cullen's house in mere seconds. We burst through the door. Alice immediately came to the door. She walked us to the kitchen. She looked at us and then uncovered plates filled with delicious and scrumptious food. She grabbed a slice of pizza and put in my plate. I was about to refuse when my stomach growled. I blushed and Alice smirked. I begrudgingly took the pizza and ate a piece. Hate to admit it but it was really good. There was sudden darkness as long icy hands covered my eyes. I flinched at the touch. I knew I had to block my thoughts. I had a lot practice since my entire stupid pack used to read my mind.
"Hey Terry." I said. I was actually glad to see him. I couldn't tell if it was because I genuinely liked his personality or because he was my imprint. Sometimes I thought it was both. He was an extremely nice guy after all.
"So what are you doing?" He asked.
"I don't know. I guess we're waiting for the Cullen's to tell us what's up." As if on cue the Cullen's all arrived at the same time.
"The vampires will here in less than an hour. This situation sadly is too much like the James's situation." Carlisle announced.
"We better not be overprotective and try to calm ourselves." We went outside and walked inside the forest a little bit. We waited. The males try to be all macho and protective and put themselves in the front. The girls didn't mind. I stood next to Terry and Jake in the front. Terry didn't protest, even if he did he kept a poker face. Jacob seemed like he wanted to protest but he didn't. Finally the vampires arrived. They were three of them and they looked like foreigners but yet they still had the same unrealistic beauty as the Cullen's. The one in the middle I suppose was the leader; he had black hair and red eyes he seemed about Edward's age. The one on the right had short curly blonde hair and he looked about Carlisle age. The third had reddish-brown hair and he looked a bit younger than Jacob. They weren't too tall, well just a little bit taller than me.
"Hello my friends." Spoke the first one. Oh yeah he was the leader. He had an accent it sounded a bit Italian.
"I'm Luigi Infantozzi." He announced. The blonde one came closer and said softy.
"I'm Gino Infantozzi."
"Valentino Infatozzi." Said red-haired one. I didn't trust them. Okay first of all I never trust leeches, and second of all there was something off about them. They were mischievous.
"Hi I'm Carlisle and this is my family." He showed us off. I don't know if they could tell we weren't vampires. Luigi came closer.
"Where's this famous half-breed we've heard of?" He asked. Bella and Edward were offended but they didn't show it. Renesmee walked forward with her head held up high. She touched his hand.
"Wow, this girl she's bellisima!" Ugh bellisima my ass! She blushed proudly.
"Oh what's that? Blood pumping from her heart. So this is true? Strong yet delicate. Both human beauty and vampire beauty. She's flawless." Don't make me gag.
"I want her. I want her as my mate." Luigi announced. This got a collective gasp from everyone, including me. Jacob went head and yanked her from his grip.
"She's not yours, creep." He growled into Luigi's face. I was glad Jacob was defending her but a tiny petty part of me wished that he was defending me instead.
"Valentino come over here." The red-haired vampire came forward and quickly touched Jake. He was quite surprise.
"I knew he wasn't human but I didn't expect a werewolf." Said Valentino.
"Interesting." Said Luigi. Luigi pushed Jacob with both hand sending him flying a few feet. Jacob's body got knocked into tree. They didn't know Jacob's true strength. But they didn't know my true speed either. I got mad, my vision blurred red. They hurt Jacob, my alpha, my Jacob. I ran with all my speed as a human and tackle the guy named Luigi. He was amazed for a few seconds by my speed but he recovered quickly. He grabbed me in an unbreakable grip. He called Valentino again.
"Oh my, a female werewolf. How enchanting." He said.
"The one and only one, now let me go so I can rip you to shreds, leech!" I said.
"The only female werewolf in history? You are quite the prize, strong, fast, beautiful, not to mention feisty. I love feisty girls." Ewww a bloodsucker is hitting on me.
"In your dreams, Dorkula!" I struggled to break his grip, but it was useless. I was fast, even faster than some bloodsuckers. But this one, this leech was strong and sometimes I wasn't strong enough. He sadistically tightened his grip around me. I yelped out in pain. That's when everything happened in the blink of an eye. Terry moved quickly towards Luigi but Valentino and Gino tackled him. He was struggling but managed to send both of them flying at the same time. They flew a few feet into the air. Damn Terry was strong, really strong. Never met somebody as strong as him, except for Emmet but Terry seemed a bit stronger. He made it to Luigi in less than second. He managed to break Luigi's grip on my wrists. He lifted me up and then jumped back. We stood behind Emmet. I could even Emmet was surprised at Terry. The three vampires were moving threatingly towards the group.
"Stop! I wish we didn't have to fight but if we must defense ourselves, we will!" Carlisle announced.
"Do not forget our coven is bigger."
"And don't forget the werewolves are against you too. We will attack and if you kill one of our brothers or sister, the other pack will not be happy." They retreated and went back to the forest. They were gone in the blink of an eye. I was sure this wasn't the last time we'll see them.
"Bastards." The tiny Alice murmured. This made everyone laugh it also ease the atmosphere a bit. Terry hugged me tight and I hugged him back with all my might.
"Are you okay, Lee?" Terry asked me.
"Yes thanks to you. Are you okay, oh my hero?" I said sarcastically but I truly wanted to know if he was okay or not. He smiled. I checked his body, not a bruised on him.
Renesmee was on the verge of a break down. Her parents were comforting her. Jacob stood there. He rubbed his head, healing already. I frowned, somebody should be comforting Jacob too. He smiled but I know he disapproved of me standing up to the vampires. Finally everyone calmed down a bit. Edward and Alice looked tired. Edward looked both at me and his daughter with sad eyes.
"There's a problem here. Those vampires want Renesmee as their mate and they won't stop until they have her. Just like James wanted to kill Bella." He said.
"The problem is that they now have two targets. It pains me to say that the other target is Leah." Everyone gasped but Alice and Edward. This couldn't be good.
A/N: A bit of a cliffhanger I know. Ha I hope it seems interesting.
