CH 4: Murders

Moon POV

I lifted my head in the slightest of movements and catched a whiff of the sea salt air and a faint grin spread across my face, until I began to look like a grinning fool. Memories of me and my mother on the beach…..holding hands popped in my head and I sighed. It was the 2nd day and the pathetic human was still screaming at the top of her lungs. I walked out of the cave and crouched so low to the ground that my knee was only an inch away from it, I tensed my muscles and let them go in one single leap, that took me to a rock in the middle of the ocean near the cave.

I jumped like that until I reached land, I smoothed out my hair with one hand and then jogged to Seattle at a speed of a human sprinting. I got bored of the façade of looking like a jogger and burst out at my full speed into the city, leaving a cloud of dust as my only evidence that I was actually there. My right leg would touch the wet ground for half a second before my left leg repeated this motion. I skidded to a stop in an alley and looked around to survey the area. There was a teenager, he looked around Sixteen, with a buzz cut. He had on a leather jacket, white shirt, black jeans, and black and white Vans.

I chuckled softly before approaching him with a grin on my face.

"Hello I'm wondering where I can find a McDonalds around here"? I asked in a questioning tone. He looked me up and down before answering my question.

"Yeah, just take a left and keep going straight and you will find McDonalds" He said with his arms at his sides. I considered making him a meal but thought I needed more than 1 new born to beat the Cullen's.

"Sorry but I'm hungry for power, I hope you live" I said in a grin and before he could say anything I rushed at him and latched onto his neck. I plunged my teeth into his neck and at first drank but then put my venom in the wound and backed away. He grabbed at his neck and screamed a piercing sound that I was sure someone heard. I ripped off a piece of his shirt and gagged his mouth before putting him over my shoulder. A hobo came to suspect what was the sound and I smiled at him.

I dropped the poor boy and turned to the hobo, I ran at him at my full speed taking my fist back and thrusting it forward through his chest. He made a gurgle and I pulled out my fist, with his muscle tissue and various other strings of what looked like veins with it. I took my other hand and thrusted it into his side, I pulled it out with a rib and stabbed it in his stomach. He began to spurt out blood and spit it out on my clothes. I drank from him and threw his bleeding body into the dumpster. I needed attention and these gruesome murders helped. I took off towards my cave with the boy smiling the whole time.

8 hours later

I had bitten at least Fourteen humans and they were changing right now. I smiled and sat down on my rock where I watched them scream in pain and terror.

Jacob POV

I had just came out of the forest with my basketball shorts on and of course no shirt on, Nessie always asked why I never put one on but it's just easier to shirt with no shirt on. I lifted up my nose and sniffed the air hoping for at least a scent of the vampire or even something close to it, I gave up after what seemed like ten minutes and walked pass the local diner. As I walked past the diner a bold headline caught my eye and I rushed towards the newsstand a little too fast for a human. In the headlines it read in big bold letters:

"SERIAL KILLER OUT ON THE LOOSE"

We have been getting recent reports of missing persons, it is usually just 1-2 or 5-6 but these are going up to 14 in only one day. One of the victims named Brandon Cooper was on his way home from a game when eye witnesses saw him talking to a strange man in an alley way. There was also a homeless man found drained of blood and various pieces of his internal organs and limbs missing, we are now setting a curfew police have said. All teenagers must be indoors before 10:00 p.m

I stumbled back a bit when I saw this, beads of sweat began to form on my forehead and I shook my head in disbelief. Fourteen people missing, no this vampire is out of his mind, does he know he might get the Volturi here or maybe he wants that. That just might be his plan, but I'm not sure. The Cullens have to hear about this one.

I ran towards the forest and while leaping in the air, took of my shorts, tied them to my leg and phased before I hit the ground. I begin to run as fast as my limit was, a repeated pattern, front legs then back. I could only hear my shallow breathing and my paws as they thumped on the ground, trying to make it to the Cullen's. I saw the house in view and skidded to a stop but I misjudged my momentum, I crashed through the door knocking over the bookcase.

Everyone looked at me like was crazy, which I probably was after reading that headline. I showed it to Edward in my mind and he quickly informed everyone else, I walked back outside to go phase. I crouched low once hidden in the bushes and felt my front legs get longer, my paws turning to hands, my back legs turning to legs and feet, my snout shrinking back into my face, and my ears turning back to human ears. I rose to my feet and pulled up my basketball shorts, as slowly as possible so I would not have to see the Cullen's reaction when Edward finished informing them.

When I opened the door everything seemed to go in slow motion, the door swung open slowly with a creak, the air hissing as it slammed into the wall with an audible thud. I walked towards nessie and took a seat next to her on the couch, l stretched my arm so it landed around her shoulders and nodded for Edward to continue talking.

"From what I read in Jacob's mind this vampire is not really doing this for territory….more like attention, not from the Volturi but it seems he is building an army to face us. I am not sure why the army or why the gruesome murders other than a attention but Jacob believes there is more to the story than that"

I nodded my head and began to tell the Cullen's everything the two packs have found out about the vampire.

Moon POV

The first human I bitten was just getting finish with her transformation, it seems I have to choose my humans a bit more carefully. This human seems to have a gift, but I have yet to put it in a category. She can momentarily make me forget what I want, need, or even who I am. I look back down on her before pulling back my arm and whipping it forward with speed greater than a normal vampire, but she did something unexpected. She grabbed my arm and hissed at me before flinging me into the cave wall.

I hurried to my feet just in time to dodge a punch that would have knocked my head clean off. I smirked at the young woman and jumped in the air, spinning my body before letting my right leg connect with the side of her face. I landed and before even touching the ground, twisted my body sharply to the right and punched her as hard as I could, smack into her nose. She went flying into the cave wall, it seemed I hit her so hard she was stuck in the cave wall itself.

"Now now young lady, you have a very peculiar gift and it seems like you are the right vampire I will need for my plans" I said as I strode towards her slowly. I looked her up and down, she was very pale which was expected, her eyes a vibrant crimson red, I could see her gasping in hunger and decided to go grab a human I saved for her when she woke up.

I strode towards the eastern side of the wall and plucked a human from behind the boulder, she was at least 19 with pale blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and one of the smallest noses I have ever seen. I walked towards the newborn and grabbed her shoulders gently, I added a tiny bit of force, hearing the cave wall creak and yanked her out from the hole she made.

Like a lion on it's prey she dove on the poor human, she hurriedly snapped the human's neck with an audible creak. She then lodged her hand in the neck where the veins were and ripped out some of them, a stringy bloody mess in my opinion. She then began to slurp the life force out of the human. I am going to have to teach these young ones a clean kill. I looked around the field seeing the humans wither, give or take 3 more days and they will be ready to go hunting.
