First, I would like to say that I am loving all the support in my stories and that I am glad you like them. Second, many of you like A Sell-Sword in the Game of Females and I would like to say Chapter 2 will be coming out tonight or tomorrow morning. Thirdly, if you would like to give me your opinion on what the pairing in my Harry Potter/Walking Dead crossover go vote!
It has come to my attention that this story didn't seem to have any Harry Potter attributes. That will change from this point toward. It won't be huge attributes like and entire wizarding nation, but it will be small things.
Hope you enjoy the third chapter of Red String of Fate!

He burst into the clearing in front of them and stood there looking down at Carlisle. "You have been busy, 'old friend'." He snarled out of his clinched teeth and his ruby red eyes glowing.
Carlisle was at a lost for words since he couldn't think of a reason for this. Every memory that he has had since he met Harry was flowing through his mind trying to see if he has done any wrong. He was snapped out of it when Edward gasped suddenly and slowly eased back pulling Bella along with him. Carlisle barely moved his head towards Edward with a confused face. Edward breathlessly said, "He-he knows Rosalie."
Carlisle's expression didn't change from being confused, if not he became even more confused. "What do you mean he knows Rosalie? What exactly does it matter?" He asked.
"Do NOT act like I am here! I said you have been busy, didn't I? It would be polite to respond after seeing a friend after so long." Harry replied with a bloodthirsty grin.
"Now Harry-"
"Do not finish that sentence. I came here for a job when I see someone I have thought died long ago. Now exactly tell me how you came to meet Rosalie."
At this moment the four that were following him burst into the tree line and stood behind Harry. They had heard most of the conversation and decided not attack first before getting the whole reason that he was here. "Harry, wait don't-", Rosalie tried to say before Harry interrupted her.
"Was I talking to you Rosalie? I believe that I deserve answers after all this time. I want the full truth, no cutouts or paraphrasing." Harry said with a tint of anger and sadness in his cold tone. "Now Carlisle answer me."
Carlisle was devastated when he saw the sad face of Rosalie, as were the rest of the Cullen's. Carlisle hastily explained how he came across Rosalie bleeding in the street making Harry's face lose its posture a second before returning back to before. He tried to explain how he didn't know that he ever knew Rosalie was so important to him or he would have said something.
As this was going on Rosalie had fallen to her knees from the shock and sadness of him actually never letting her explain. Never in her 'dreams' has she ever thought that if they ever saw each other again this is the way it would happen. The devastating part is that her body and mind still craved him like a drug even when he was pissed at her. It was as if she was totally dead to him while someone was explaining her life to him.
When Carlisle was finished Harry took a calming breath before gesturing him to move out of the way. Carlisle did since he knew that Harry wouldn't do anything irrational now that he calmed down. He walked until he was in front of Edward before making him stick into place using the shadows around them. No one breathed as he walked around the now frozen Edward to in front of the now scared Bella. "I am sorry for putting you through this Bella." Harry said giving her a small smile.
Bella collected her breath knowing that he wouldn't actually harm any of her family. She then replied, "It's fine. Just can you please promise to not hurt anyone?"
"I promise. I really hope this doesn't change anything between us. I really enjoyed us talking, it was fun." Harry said calmly.
"Of course. It was just a misunderstanding, no harm done right?"
"Right." Harry then walked passed Edward and whispered darkly so only the vampires could hear, "Read my mind again without permission and I will kill you." He then proceeded walk towards the tree line until...
"Why are you here Harry? Did I really hurt you so badly you can't look at me?" Rosalie whispered out, still looking at the ground.
Turning around toward the Cullens Harry said, "The Volturi still has to keep the law." It finally clicked in all of their minds that this was the legendary Vassago. For Rosalie it was an even bigger shock since she knew Harry use to be a friendly character to everyone. He couldn't have harmed any person or animal unless it was the last resort.
"If you are here that means the Volturi has had news of the newborns. Is any other members of the guard here? Also why haven't they been exterminated by now?" Carlisle asked confused as to why exactly they didn't just kill the newborns and leave. The rest were put into a slight offensive crouch but were terrified if a fight truly broke out. With Edward already out of the fight along with Alice's gift out they wouldn't stand a chance since he could easily match Emmett's strength. The only one that could probably stand against him for a few seconds was Jasper because he had experience.
"Do you honestly believe I couldn't handle a small newborn army alone? The reason we haven't interfered is that they cause no real harm. Eventually they will need to be thinned out and the creator killed but I was told not to at this time." Point at Bella he continued, "You were meant to be turned. It was a promise in front of all of the Volturi. We have to make sure that the promise is kept. It is dangerous for any human to know of our world and still roam free."
"Do you know who created the-" Carlisle tried to say before being interrupted.
"I wasn't finished. It is bad enough that she knows of us but also being the cause of a newborn army being created is terrible. Her name is Victoria. You have no reason to worry they aren't strong enough at the moment. None are trained and have any strong gifts that could cause problems. Any other questions before I go hunt again?"
"Actually that is what I would like to ask. I know you stopped trying to eat animals as a food source, so is it possible for you to hunt outside of the region? My family has lived here with no one the wiser of our 'condition'." Carlisle said trying to show that it was a reasonable request.
"It's only right for my to follow your rules. It is your territory after all. Are there any other things I should know about? I smelt something terrible on my travels around the area. It is the closest thing to werewolf I have ever smelt but not exactly the right scent." Harry asked.
"There is a tribe of them at La Push. They call themselves werewolves but they can change at any moment. We know that they aren't are natural enemies so we have created a treaty of sort with them." Carlisle was now figuratively sweating since he hoped his family hadn't doomed the wolf pack.
"So they are shape-shifters trying to play the role of moon children?" Seeing Carlisle's nod of confirmation and Bella's confused look continued, "Well what is this 'treaty' you speak of?"
"My family would be able to live here with no conflicts from the tribe of we promised to never bite a human. We need to go tell them that you have arrived if we wish to not have a fight. If it would be of no concern to you I was hoping we could withhold the information of the army? Most of the tribe are hotheaded children that would rush into the city at first thought."
"Of course, as I said before you territory; your rules. Know this if they think they can stop me from staying I will have to eradicate them. You are lucky the Volturi had not heard of this or Caius would have put the tribe's heads right next to yours for harboring them." Harry said not even changing his tone in the slightest.
Bella seeing that the tribe was in danger decided to go around the still frozen Edward until she was in front of Harry and say, "Please! Some of my friends are part of the wolf pack! They don't mean any harm or anything! There harmless! If you don't do it for them at least do it for me. If we really are friends you need to show me." Bella put as much emotion as she possible could as she threw her arms around him. "Please." She pleaded.
Not seeing Rosalie's warning glance for touching Harry, Bella just stayed in that position as she finished off her part by saying, "At least let me go with you to talk to them." Everyone could hear Edward growl inside his throat. It didn't detour Bella as she continued to just look at Harry with watery eyes.
Harry didn't even hesitate before saying with a grin, "Well aren't you a little trouble magnet. Gaining the eyes of the vampire world by storm, then making friends with wolves that have anger problems." Harry chuckled softly before responding to her hug and saying, "Well I have to keep and eye on you anyway, so why not?"
The clearing erupted with the sound of Edward growling in warning, but Bella completely ignored him and just tightened her hold on Harry. "Thank you." If anyone looked over at Rosalie they would see her looking like she was going to fall apart. It was getting worse every second that went by.
First, he looks at her with betrayal and anger. Second, he runs right past her without so much as looking at her. Lastly, they have been in the same area for the last half hour without him so much as listening to her. It was bad enough she couldn't let herself be thrown at him, he didn't have to act like never existed in the first place. Becoming tired of being ignored, she gained a determined face and said strongly, "I'm going as well."
Harry's head snapped into her direction. His eyes were instantly trained on hers and got glazed by her beauty. He could see he face became more angel like and was only enhanced by her golden blonde hair that cascaded around her face and a beautiful shade of gold eyes. It was as if time had frozen around them with Bella bring held in his arms and her three 'siblings' were standing around her. After a few seconds of silence Bella moved to get out of his embrace making him snap back to reality.
He let go of Bella and said, "Maybe it would be best for all of us to go."
"That's an excellent idea. Just could you unfreeze Edward before we go?" When Carlisle finished speaking the tense atmosphere was completely broken. Emmett broke out into a fit of laughter, Jasper and Alice although with Bella put up a small smile. Rosalie just never stopped looking at Harry as he waved his hand and all of shadows that were binding Edward disappeared. It was so sudden that Edward fell forward and had to catch himself with his hands. Bella walked over to him as he stood up to make sure he didn't do anything stupid, not that she could stop him from talking.
"No! Bella you are not going anywhere with him. He is a danger that is putting you in even more harm then him just being here. The wolves could just attack on sight and put you in the crossfire. I will not let-"
"You will not what? Like you could really stop her. If I wanted I could just leave you here while we go talk to the wanna be werewolves." Harry said with an eyebrow raised and was slightly flaring his power causing a small layer of darkness around him. Edwards mouth also became covered by a strip of black shadows. "If you would shut up and just come along we can get this little meeting over with quickly."
Edwards response was wrapping bending down to let Bella climb on his back. Seeing that he wouldn't cause anymore problems, Harry started off in a slow run for him but still a fast pace by normal vampire standards. They all filled in behind him with Carlisle, Rosalie, and Jasper right behind him while the others followed in behind them. "The boundary is only a minute away from this point. They most likely know we are coming so that will mean they will be waiting for us." Carlisle's said.
Harry's only response was to slowly speed up his pace. He knew he had no reason to worry about meeting the tribe. It seems that they have only actually fought instinctual vampires and not trained vampires. He gained a serious face though when he caught the scent of the pack. Using his senses he could tell the pack was rather large and were waiting for them at a creek.
Never slowing down until he stopped in mid run right at the edge of the creek bed. The Cullen's all filled into line next to him with Rosalie and Carlisle flanking his sides. "So this is the mighty pack that I have to inform of my presence."
The one human that was standing in front of the others said, "Who exactly are you? We see that you are with the rest of the Cullen's but the treaty only gives them immunity, not you."
"Well you see here, I come and go as I please. I could have easily came an eliminated you and not have to deal with this but Bella over there persuaded me not to." Harry said pointed over to Bella, who was climbing down from Edwards back. When Harry finished talking every wolf in the area took a step forward and growled challengingly. "Oh so the puppy's want to play. I have ate more for breakfast." Harry said tauntingly.
"Stop! He is just kidding Sam. He actually just wants to inform you that he has to stay around the area without any problems. His name is Harry. He is my friend and I promise he won't cause any problems." Bella said trying to plea with Sam.
Suddenly one black wolf ran off into the forest as the one named Sam angrily said, "How can we be so sure? He doesn't look to be the same as you all. He has the eyes of a vampire that feeds off of humans. We are protectors we can not just stand by while he will kill off our families."
"It isn't like that he-" Bella was cut off as Harry started talking.
"It's ok Bella. I can explain why I am not a threat." Turning back to the pack he said, "You say that no vampire is aloud to feed off of humans here? I can simply live off of the blood of animals while I live in your territory. I have tried living on the blood of animals and can say that it means no differently to me what I eat."
"As long as you stay within the boundaries that we have set, we can allow you to stay until we have had a council with our elders." Sam said to Harry making all of the Cullen's visually relax. Sam turned to Bella before continuing, "Jacob does not agree with your company or decision. He will be back wen we leave to talk to you." With that being said he and the wolves ran into the forest before Jacob came out of the forest. He had a intimidating figure that would make any normal man cower in fear.
"Bella, why haven't you came to see me? You can't even spend time with me but can make new bloodsucker friends? What about me? Our friendship?" Jacob said.
"It isn't like that. I just haven't had the time to visit or anything. It's not like I just forgot about you and I just met Harry today so don't accuse me of not caring about our friendship." Bella said back with a sad tone.
"Whatever. Have fun with your bloodsucker. Give me a call when you really want to have fun again. He probably was even against you coming to this little meeting." Jacob referring to how Edward is so controlling over Bella. After finishing his talk, seeing that is was getting him no where, turned around and ran off.
Edward wrapped his arms around Bella in comfort seeing as she was tearing up from Jacobs words. "Well, that went well I guess. It could have gone worst don't you say Carlisle?" Harry said.
"Yes. We avoided a big problem right there. Let's hope that the elders allow you to stay without a fight Harry." Carlisle said while releasing another sigh of relief.
Harry looked towards Bella and said, "I hope you feel better Bella. Don't take his words to heart he seemed to only be angry and couldn't control his words. See you tomorrow at school or something. Bye everyone." Harry then sprinted off back into the I direction of his house. Before anyone could stop her, Rosalie started running in the same direction.
Everyone was prepared to follow before Carlisle said, "Let them be. They need to work out their issues alone." Seeing logic in Carlisle's words, the rest decided to just head off towards their home.
***At Harry's house***
Harry walked through the front door and directly to his belongings. 'What a frustrating first day on the job. Isn't the first day suppose to be the simplest? It doesn't matter as long as Aro didn't forget to pack them.' Harry thought while searching through his bags. After a minute of searching every bag that was brought to the house he found them. All of his 'candy'. They were all his creations and were some of the best inventions in the world. There was a whole stock of them just waiting for him; dozens of blood flavored lollipops, blood flavored jelly beans, and all other candies that were blood flavored.
Hastily he snatched out a lollipop and ripped the wrapper off before putting it in his mouth. He literally moaned at the delicious taste after his stressful and hard day. While he wasn't physically drained, mentally he was exhausted.
He continued to enjoy the taste of his lollipop before his face turned into a frown. 'Better late then ever' he thought as he just continued to suck on his snack while sitting on his couch. The door could be heard opening and footsteps on his hardwood floor as they continued to his living room. Over the scent of blood Harry could smell the scent of roses and said, "Hello Rose."
Like it? Love it? You want some more of it? Anyways leave a review for me on your thoughts and opinions. Also check out my profile to vote on the pairing that should be in my Harry Potter/Walking Dead crossover. Peace! :D
