Bites, Fights, and Lovely Ladies

Ch. 05

Sam pushed Emily behind him and everyone else in the room took on a defensive position. It'd be tough to fight a newborn Vampire already, but without phasing it would be torture…

Paul was the first to speak through his gritted teeth, "Jesus Christ… Jesus Christ! How the HELL did we not realize she was turning into a blood-sucking LEECH?"

At that Jane Doe shot up and was standing, facing them, in a fraction of a millisecond. Even though the werewolves had better-then-human eyesight, that still only barely made out a transition.

Seth, where as everyone else was looking angry and ready to attack, look confused and deep in thought. "But" he started, "She I don't see any bites on her…"

Jacob, who'd taken the spot on Sam's right side, said, "Where were you bitten?" As soon as he had spoken her eyes widened and she took two steps towards him, but Paul, who was on Jake's right, pushed her back as soon as he saw her move.

Everyone knew that the push wouldn't affect her and she could lash out if she wanted to, but instead they were all shocked as she fell straight on her butt from his push. She looked up at him and everyone could see the hurt and confusion written plainly across her face.

Jacob again asked, but a bit softer this time, "Where were you bitten?"

Jane Doe thought for a bit, then she stood up in a split-second, causing most of them to tense. Then she started lifting up her shirt, which Seth was the first to react to.

"Whoa! Whoa! What is she doing?"

His question was soon answered as she pointed out the silver teeth-shaped scar on the left side of her ribs.

Paul, (A/N okay I'm sorry that I'm using Paul so much, but he's the one I remember with the greatest hate towards vampires. I would use Quil too, but I can't remember if he hated them as badly, so I'm using Paul until I remember.)

Paul, who's excitement of an upcoming fight was growing, finally said, "Good enough for me!" and tried to throw a well-aimed punch at the girl, who, unfortunetly for him, was quick and latched her teeth straight on the vein in his right wrist. She grabbed the elbow and hand to hold it still and began her first drink.

Although Paul tried, he just wasn't strong enough to get her off, and the fact that his blood was being drained rapidly didn't help. Sam was the first to react and tried to tear the Vampire off of Paul, and even though the more of them tried, they just couldn't get her off, that is, until Jacob stepped in.

He moved until his face was level with hers and tried to pry her mouth open by pushing her forhead and chin back. By this time Paul had passed out. Jacob couldn't move her so in desperation he yelled, "GET OFF OF HIM!"

And instantly she let go, dropping Paul's arm as she did so.

Once they saw that she had dropped Paul's arm, everyone, except Jake, let go and rushed to Paul's aid. Quil picked him up and led him to a different room of the house, Emily following.

Jake was left with his right hand still on her forehead and left on her chin. He started to take his hands off, but she reached out and grabbed his right hand. For a moment he thought she'd bite him, but instead she just held it in both of hers and watched him muted awe and respect.

It sort of creeped him out.

The rest of the pack could see that when they returned to find them in the same position.

Sam was the first to speak. "This is too dangerous, she knows where we live and she's a Vampire now, we'll have to kill her."

She snapped her head towards him when she heard that, her face showed unconcealed fear and she moved to hide behind Jacob, who was looking extremely confused.

However, none of them expected Seth to speak up. "No! We don't HAVE to kill her!"

Sam replied, "Well then what do you think we SHOULD do with her?"

"We could umm…um…use her!"

Everyone looked at him with that what-are-you-talking-about expression that he was so use to getting.

"We could use her! She can help us!" "Help us with WHAT? Killing people?" Leah asked.

"Think of it! Vampires are hard to kill because they're extremely strong! What if we used her to help us, instead of killing her? We could train her to eat like the Cullens do, only on animals! Who knows, we might need her help!"

"Leeches can't be trusted, did you NOT just see what she did with Paul?" Leah retorted.

Seth was at a loss, "Well…Well… Yeah! Carlisle said that it's only bad for the first several months or so! That means she'll get better! Not to mention she seems to like Jake, maybe he can control her!"

At this everyone turned to look at Jacob and how she hid behind him like she didn't even think he'd have any reason to turn around and kill her.

Jacob turned to look at her and asked, "Why do you like me?"

"You found me…" she had a soft voice, like she was nervous or shy. "You found me, if not for you, I'd still be out there…"

"Will you do what I tell you to?"

"Yes."

A few minutes of silence went by as Sam contemplated his choices. Then, he nodded and made his decision.

"If you do as Jacob or I tell you and only feed on animals then instead of killing you, we'll train you to do good."

She nodded vigorously, glad she wasn't about to get killed.

Seth jumped forward and started shaking her hand.

"Welcome to the pack!"
