Chapter 3
(General POV: The Treaty Line; Forks, Washington)
Jasper and the Cullen's could tell by the smell of earth and wet dog that they were getting close to the boarder. They knew that if anyone could tell them about what happened to Bella after they left that it would be the pack in La Push. Jasper remembered that Edward had said something about her and her father, Chief Swan, being best friends with the Black's, who coincidentally are Ephraim Black's descendants. He was the Alpha and Chief of the Quileute tribe at the time when the treaty between the Cullen's and the Wolf pack was made. He and Alice weren't around at that time, but Rosalie, Emmett and Edward were, along with Carlisle and Esme.
Knowing that the Cullen's had this treaty in place, Jasper had put in dark brown enhancers (A/N: Enhancers are a type of contact lenses that tint your natural eye color so that they look more natural.) so that the pack of Wolf Shifters would not catch on that he fed from human blood, unlike the rest of the Cullen's. He knew that they were going to have a hard enough time trying to deal with the dogs and didn't need to add anything more to the pot.
The seven vegetarian vampires broke through the tree line that led to the ravine that determined the treaty line. It dropped down between fifty to seventy-five feet with a rocky, wide, shallow, river that separated the two sides. It was there that they first lay eyes on the Quileute wolf pack. They were all lined up on the opposite side in front of the tree line. Sam, their current Alpha, remained in his human form as well as a couple of the other members while the rest were in their wolf form, which were the size of a large horse.
"What the hell are you leeches doing back here?" One of the half-naked wolf-men snarled from the left of their Alpha.
"Yeah," one of his pack brothers agreed from the Alpha's opposite side. "Haven't you parasites caused enough problems?"
"Paul, Jared… enough." Sam chastised the two younger affiliates. "Though, I agree with you both on your questions, we did not come here to cause trouble…yet."
The one called Jared bowed his head in submission to his Alpha while the other one called Paul only crossed his arms over his chest as he continued to stare Jasper and the Cullen's down. It was obvious to all of them that he was the hot head of the bunch and was easily set off in a very hostile manner.
Jasper was surprised at how aggressive the wolf pack was coming off as, even though he knew that being mortal enemies, they had never truly gotten along anyway. He and the golden-eyed vampires exchanged a glance with each other in confusion at their harsh words.
Carlisle stepped forward to attempt to speak with the Alpha and find out what could have possibly happened that caused Isabella to become what she is today. "We aren't here to cause any trouble for you, your pack or the reservation. We simply wanted to ask you to fill us in on what had happened after we left ten years ago."
A silver wolf growled loudly from near the outside of the pack. Sam whipped his head in the wolf's direction before reprimanding her. "Shut it, Leah! I don't like this any more than you do." The Cullen's all looked at each other in surprise as the she-wolf bowed, backing down and obeying her Alpha's orders. None of them had realized that it was even possible for one of the wolves to be a female, for they had never heard of such a thing happening before.
Jasper could feel the defiance radiating off all of the wolves and he knew that if he didn't speak up to try and convince them to talk to them, that they wouldn't get the information that they had come for.
"Sam," He called out to the Alpha wolf, whose eyes flickered over towards him and he could feel that he had his attention. "I know that you have no reason to grant our request and I don't blame you in the slightest. But please, for Bella's sake… we need to know."
Just as the empath felt the wolf's emotions begin to waver, Edward halted their progress, snarling loudly. He must have read something that bothered him from within one of the shape shifter's thoughts, because there was no other explanation for his sudden outburst.
"Edward, knock it off!" Rosalie growled.
"Yeah, Leech! You're the one on the thinnest ice out of all of you bloodsuckers! It was you that left Bella out in the forest to die before you ticks skipped town!" A wolf named Embry quitted irritably at the Mind Reader.
Gasps rang out throughout the golden-eyed group; all of them aside from Alice, that is. They were all appalled at his actions and were angry that he had lied to them about the way that he had left someone that they all considered family.
"Oh, don't tell me that none of you knew what he did to her." Quil couldn't help but to taunt the group. "I remember how Jake had told me that the Mind Reader had taken her out into the forest and told her that you were all leaving and that she wasn't invited. He broke up with her by telling her that she wasn't good enough for him and that her mind was like a sieve and she would soon forget about all of you. She had begged him not to leave or to take her with you all - God knows why – but he didn't. Instead, he left her standing out there in the woods."
"Edward, you didn't!" Esme gasped, curling into her mate's side. Jasper felt his anger and hate for the Mind Reader soar.
Feeling the need to defend himself, Edward tried to object to the wolf's statement. "I left her within sight of her house!"
"Did you really think that she would have just turned around and go back to her house? If so, you couldn't be more wrong." Jared snorted. "She tried to chase after you and ended up getting lost in woods for over thirteen hours!" Both Emmett and Jasper were growling loudly with hate filled eyes as they stared Edward down. "Sam found her curled up on the ground passed out when he managed to get away from the search party. She was bordering on hypothermia and freezing cold and wet."
By now, Rosalie had joined in with Emmett and Jasper, all looking glaring at Edward as he shifted slightly with his arms crossed defiantly over his chest. Alice was standing slightly in front of him as if she was trying to protect him.
"Enough!" Sam bellowed using his alpha voice and affectively shutting them all up before speaking out in a regular tone. "They don't need to hear any more than that, for they don't deserve any answers from us. Let's go!" He growled.
"No, wait!" Jasper called out for them.
"Please?" Esme pleaded.
Sam just looked over his shoulder at the vampire coven and shook his head at them in disgrace before turning his back on them and continuing to walk off into the woods with the rest of the shape shifters following behind them. All except for one.
(Jasper's POV)
The emotions coming off of the gray, brown and white wolf were sympathetic as he looked at me and the rest of the Cullen Coven, aside from Alice and Edward. He had been the smallest of the wolf pack and the only one who wasn't constantly radiating hostile emotions, though, he did send out the occasional waves of anger when the others spoke of what Edward had done to Bella.
The little wolf made a motion with his head as if he was telling us that he wanted us to follow him. Edward repeated my previous thought, confirming what we were all obviously assuming and we quickly took off after the little shape shifter along our side of the treaty line towards the town of Forks.
(Forks Cemetery; Forks Washington)
We ended up stopping just before the tree line and watched as the little white, gray and brown wolf ducked down behind a tree. I knew that by the smell of decomposition and embalming fluid beneath the earth that we were just outside of Forks' Cemetery.
We listened as we heard bones shifting and morphing along with the rest of his body and before we knew it, the small wolf shifter came back out from behind the tree as a young boy no older than fifteen years old. He seemed slightly nervous, but I had a feeling that it was more because he was sneaking around with us vampires behind his Alpha and pack brothers' back then because of the fact that we were vampires.
He stopped in front of us, reaching out his hand in greeting, surprising us all. "Doctor Cullen? My name is Seth Clearwater."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Seth." Carlisle reached forward and clasped his hand with the shifter's before shaking it. "Please, call me Carlisle and this is my mate Esme," he introduced as he began to introduce each of us to the young boy, "my son, Emmett and his wife and mate, Rosalie, Edward, Alice and Jasper."
"Nice to meet you, man." Emmett shook his hand as the rest of us nodded our greetings.
"It's nice to formally meet you, too." Seth smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes.
I stepped forward and extended my own hand in greeting, feeling rather thankful that the young wolf shifter had even come to talk to us to begin with. "Hello Seth, my name is Jasper Whitlock. Thanks for coming to talk to us."
He reached forward, grasping my hand in his as he nodded once. "Whitlock? I thought that you were a Cullen?"
I quickly glanced over at the rest of the family before bringing my focus back on Seth. "I am no longer a part of the Cullen Coven. Whitlock is my original human last name, so I have reverted back to it when I left the family. They are still friends of mine, though."
He nodded in understanding, pulling his hand away from mine and looking back over towards the rest of the family. "In order for me to tell you what had happened after all of you left Forks, I need to show you something." He explained as he made his way over to the tree line with us following after him.
The cemetery was built on a large piece of property. It was beautiful with the occasional large spruce tree and mausoleum breaking up some of the space between the headstones.
We stopped about a quarter of the way across the cemetery and stopped in front of four headstones that were closer together than the rest.
The first one said:
Charles David Swan
Beloved Father, Friend and Police Chief
1972-2008
I swallowed thickly, realizing that Charlie must have died very shortly after we left before looking over to the next one.
It read:
Isabella Marie Swan
Beloved Mother, Daughter and Friend
1991-2009
It was harder than it should be fore me for some reason to see her name on a tomb stone, but I quickly shook it off and looked on to the next:
Samuel Charles Swan
Beloved Son and Grandchild
2009-2009
This one confused me, but I didn't think much on it until I looked at the final headstone.
Jacob Ephraim Black
Beloved Son, Father and Friend
1993-2009
Jacob Black had also died? It was then that I noticed the words 'father' and 'mother' on Jacob and Bella's headstones. I knew that Esme and Rosalie had also caught it as the both let out a loud sob.
Bella was a mother?
A/N: Another chapter down! What did you think?! Any thoughts on what will happen next after they learn about what had happened to Bella after they left town? Or what everyone's reactions will be to learning that Bella was pregnant when she was changed, so therefore, her son died? Review!
If you have any questions or comments, post them in my reviews and I will answer them in my next chapter!
Werewolfe22: awesome. just great. continue please. and I thought making vampire children was against the rules and is punishable by death.
Thanks for reading and reviewing! To answer your question, yes, it is against the rules and punishable by death, but the Warlords (Enrique and Maria) didn't follow them and created the nine year old boy and the young girl anyway. We will probably be visiting this in later chapters, but in the meantime, I thought I would get that out there. Keep reading!
An Avid Reader Forever: great chapter. but i am slightly confused. i thought that bella and jasper would be together. does that mean that the volturi are lying, or is there going to be a twist in the story.
Thanks for the review! Yes, Bella and Jasper are going to be together. The Volturi just haven't told him yet that it is Isabella. He will find out later though! I promise! ;-)
