Chapter 7: Tala's Secret

Steve's POV

After Tala left every one started to leave.

"Can you guys wait."

I said in a low voice.

"Umm sure."

Sam said and they came back and sat down.

"I rather get this over with. Then do this later."

I said. Seth was looking at me.

"What did Tala mean by what she said?"

Seth said to me. The others looked at me.

Guess the Cullens are going to find out what happened that night.

"Let me start that day that she died."

I said. When I said that I smelt the shock and fear.

"What do you mean the day that she died?"

Carlisle said.

"The same day that you two left her on her own to face her elders."

I said. Edward and Carlisle looked at each other.

"If she died then why is she here?"

Said Sam.

"I get to that part. But after you two left her there. She went to her meeting. I was watching the hole thing."

I could still see their face's.

"They asked her were her witnesses was. She told them that they couldn't make it. They didn't like that. They thought that her witnesses didn't want to show up cause that Tala was dangerous."

I had to close my eyes.

"Tala was trying to tell them that she wasn't but they didn't believe her. So that's when they started to fight. I joined them in the battle. The elders might have been old but you cant kill them."

A shiver ran down my spine. At the thought of the battle.

"We fought for a very long time. I was losing a lot of blood. I'm not as good as Tala. She didn't even have a scratch on her. But then I lost my footing and one of them was about to finish me off. I didn't even see her move. I closed my eyes waiting for the blow but it never came. I looked up to see Tala standing over me with a huge blade rammed threw her chest. Blood was pouring out of her. The blade's that they use, no one can live after being killed with them."

I said.

"If no one came live then how did she make it?"

Seth said.

"I really don't know what really happened. After she fell to the ground the Elders couldn't believe. That she would sacrifice her self for someone else. By the time I got to her she was already gone. She was cold and very pale."

No matter what I will never forget the way she looked out of my mind.

"What happened next?"

Emily said with tears in her eyes. She was getting into the story.

"Will after a while of staring at her. Tala's eyes snapped opened as she bolted up gasping for air. The Elders looked like they just saw a ghost. Then a letter come out of nowhere. One of the Elders read it then passed it to the others. Then they gave Tala the letter and they vanished. I don't know what that letter said. But after that Tala became someone different. Every now and then a letter could come out of nowhere and Tala would have to go. Over time I picked up on some things. When I finally asked her what the letters are she told me. That they are tasks that she need to go and take care of. I don't know who sends them and I'm a little scared to ask her. Sometimes when she comes back she is covered from head to toe in blood and she wont talk to me for a while."

I said as I put my hands in my pockets so they wouldn't see my hands shacking. "Wow that is something. But there is a lot I still don't understand."

Sam said to me. I looked at me.

"That makes both of us. Tala has her secrets and she wont tell me about. I tell her every thing and she use to tell me but after she died. That's when she started to hid things from me."

Leah was sitting next to me. She put her hand on top of my leg.

I smiled at her. Then every one started to leave.

"Would you like to come over?"

I asked Leah and she nodded. I drove us came to Tala's place.

"How long is Tala going to be gone?"

Leah said with worry in her voice. I smiled down at my girl.

"I really don't know. Sometimes she's gone for weeks or months. Tala once said she likes to take her time and do it right. That's why it takes her so long to come back."

I said and she walked over to me and put her forehead against mine.

"If its going to be a while I can stay with you so you wont be lonely."

Her lips pressed against mine softly. I smiled into our kiss and picked her up.

Still kissing I took her back to my room.

Three Weeks Later Tala's POV

I was tired as I pulled up to my home. I parked my bike and went in side.

I could smell Steve and Leah some where in the house. I didn't bother to look for them.

Walking to my room I didn't since him following me till I got to my door. I looked over my shoulder to see Seth there.

"Welcome home."

He said as he walked up to me and put his arms around me. I put mine around him and took in his scent.

"Thanks Seth."

I said in a very tired voice.

"You look like your about to drop."

He said as he helped into my room and bed.

"I am I haven't slept in three weeks. So I'm going to sleep for a while."

I said as I pulled off the last bit of my clothes. I was in my bra and panties.

Seth's face was red as he turned to leave.

"Wait! Seth you don't have to leave. Can you stay with me while I sleep?"

I said he turned back around. I knew being apart this long as torturer on him.

Not being able to be with me. I crawled into my bed and got under the covers. Seth sat next to my bed.

"Could you lay next to me?"

I said fighting to keep my eyes open. He took off his shoes and crawled in behind me.

Putting his arms around me. Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Seth's body heat felt great as I sleep. . . . .
