Ch. 1- An Unexpected Reunion
Alex's POV
I awoke to someone, or rather something, nudging me. I opened my eyes and saw Seth standing there in his wolf form, which was sandy color fur and deep blue eyes. I looked at the clock and it was two in the morning. I groaned and said, "You know some people do need to sleep."
He just nudged me and whimpered.
"What is it babe?" I said, stretching and yawning.
He looked at the dresser then back at me and whimpered again. His dark brown eyes pleading and shaking his whole sandy colored fur like he was wet. I got the message. He forgot his shorts, again. So I got up, grabbed him a pair of boxers and shorts, and put them in the bathroom floor. He went in and I shut the door behind him. I almost laughed, because he is the size of a horse, as is everyone else in the pack, including myself. I'm just glad I had the bathroom redone to fit a horse in there as soon as I found out I could change into a wolf. Before I could lie back down, Seth came running out of the bathroom with a scared look on his face.
I went over to him and put my hands on either side of his face and made him look at me. "What's the matter Seth?"
"It's Sam! He is getting chased by a group of new born vampires and everyone else is asleep!" He said hurriedly.
"Ok. Go and get everyone else up. I'll go and help Sam." I said, calmly, but on the inside I was freaking out.
Seth just nodded his head and ran out the door. I sighed and took off my shirt, leaving me in my bra and gym shorts. See, I can change into a wolf without having to take my clothes off, accept my shirt, so whenever I change back into my human form I'm not naked. Also I can feel when someone is lieieng, when something is different with a person, when someone wants to harm me or anyone in the pack, and I can also control the elements, and I can speak telepathically to anyone even when they are in their wolf forms and im in my human one or visversa. I still have on my clothes, which I am grateful for, because I really wouldn't want anyone to see me naked. Maybe except for Seth. . . O well. That's for another time. Anyways, I ran out of my room towards Sam.
Sam's POV
I was running towards the cliff with a group of young vampires after me. One of them kept hollering at me for me to stop, but I figured if I did they would attack me on the spot. I have no idea why I'm headed to the cliff with a group of vamps chasing me. I guess it's just a feeling that I have to go there. I could see the edge of the forest. I reached the edge of the cliff and quickly turned around, snapping, and almost biting a girl vampire, but she jumped back and yelled, "Stop!"
The rest of the vamps stopped and stood behind the girl. 'She must be their leader.' I thought. Then I really looked at her. She had long wavy brown hair, a red shirt or burgundy shirt on—it was kind of hard to tell in the moonlight—and a pair of blue jeans on with white sneakers. I had to admit, she was pretty, but I got a soul mate already. She took a step towards me and motioned for the rest to stay back. I growled.
"Look we aren't here to hurt you. We just want to know if we can hunt just for a few days. We don't hunt humans, just animals." she said, calmly, and taking another step then stopping.
'Just like the Carlisle's.' I thought. I started walking towards them. They all stiffened but the girl let me pass, as did they. I went into the woods, changed, and then came back out.
"Now we can talk normally." I said, going past them again and standing in front of them with my arms crossed over my chest.
I sighed and asked grudgedly, "What's your name kid?"
"Ashley. And may I have the privilege of knowing yours?" she said.
"Sam. I'm the alpha here. And before I make any decision, let me ask Alex." I said, thinking.
"Alex? Who is he or she?" asked Ashley, seeming interested.
"She is the. . . How do I put this . . .? The other alpha, I guess. She helps me make all the decisions and is the leader when it comes to fighting." I said.
"Is she your mate?"
"No! I mean don't get me wrong, she is pretty, but I already found my soul mate. And she has hers." I said, putting up my hands and laughing.
"O. Ok." She said, looking at the ground.
"She is almost here. She will be in her wolf form, but don't be alarmed. She feels that you won't hurt anyone." I said, in a calm and soothing voice.
They all tensed and tensed even more when the bushes started rustling and Alex came out.
Ashley's POV
I turned around at the sound of the bushes rustling and saw a silver nose appear from the edge of the bushes. Then slowly, the rest of the body started to appear. It had two solid black lines going from the ears to the tip of its nose, white paws, silver body and legs with darker flecks, and a silver white tipped tail. Its eyes were a misty green color. It was beautiful. I stared at all the darker flecks and they looked like they were moving, along with the way its muscles moved, kind of like the way water moves with the bends in a river. It stopped in front of me, but kept its head looking at Sam, with its right ear pointed in my direction. I looked at Sam with confusion.
"She wants to know if you're the leader. By the way. . . This is Alex." Said Sam, in a rehearsed voice.
I didn't even know if I was their leader. I mean sure, they followed me around and looked to me for guidance, because I'm the oldest, but I'm not the leader type. Whenever it came down to a fight at school, I would always slink away, and not throw a punch. Yet I was the one who got expelled. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear my little brother, Zander, come up beside me. He put his hand on my shoulder and I looked at him. He looked confident. See, he has the powers to sense whether someone is good or bad or if they need help. I haven't figured mine out yet, if I even have one. I sighed. "They aren't going to hurt us. They just don't like the idea of vampires hunting on their territory. But the she-wolf doesn't mind it. She thinks it would be cool to have reinforcements, even just for a little bit. She is actually pretty laid back as long as you don't mess with or threaten her friends or family." Said Zander, as if it were a casual conversation. I nodded my head and turned back to the she-wolf, Alex.
"Yes. I guess you could say I'm the leader." I said, my voice sounding cracked.
She nodded her and looked back at Sam.
"Yes. Go. But hurry up." He said, sighing and putting his head in his hand and grinning and laughing.
She quickly turned around and went back into the woods. We waited a few minutes, before she finally came out in her human form.
"Sorry it took so long. I had to use the bathroom." She said blushing.
"It's quit alright." I said, trying not to laugh. "We all have to use the bathroom sometime or another."
She just blushed even more. In her human form she had short blonde hair that was about to her neck, she was tan, skinny, but not like railing skinny. She had a little fat, looked very strong, even though she was probably about five foot, not very tall, and she had scars everywhere! One went all the way across her chest, another one went from the middle of her chest down a little bit past her belly button, and some other little scars that seemed to cover her entire body. I pried my eyes away and looked at her eyes. They were full of sadness and pain. Then she shook her head and went and stood beside Sam.
"Ashley. This is Alex. Alex. This is Ashley." Said Sam, pointing from me to Alex. We nodded to each other. "Do you mind if we meet up with the other wolves?"
I started to growl. I hated wolves. But for some reason these two brought out my calm side.
"It's ok. They won't hurt you unless you hurt them." Said Alex, with her arms crossed and with a smile. Her eyes radiating kindness.
I looked to Zander and he nodded. "We can trust them."
I looked back at Sam and Alex and nodded. "We will go with you."
Zander's POV
Sam took the lead. Alex was right there beside him. I couldn't hear what they were talking about, and after a few minutes of hushed voices, Sam nodded and took off deeper into the woods. I took my chance and went and stood by Alex with Ashley a few feet behind us.
"So. . . I'm Zander." I said, nervously, with my hand on the back of my neck.
"Hi." She said, putting out her hand.
I shook it, smiling.
"So what are you guys planning on doing while you're here?" she said.
"Sam didn't tell you? With that weird communicating going on between you and him?" I said, confused.
She laughed and said "Yea. It is weird. But no, he didn't tell me." She sighed and continued when I didn't answer. Man I felt so stupid! "See, I'm the only wolf in history—as far as we know—to use powers such as; telepathy, healing, and making force fields. And I can talk to animals." She said, smiling, and looking around with a sort of calmness. Then she looked back at me. "I know all this sounds bizarre, but it's true."
"So you can communicate to people using telepathy, even in your wolf form?" I said, very intrigued. My ember eyes sparkling.
"Yes. Want a demonstration?" she said, with a grin.
"Sure! That would be awesome!" I said, almost jumping up and down.
"Ok. Ok. Let me go into the woods for a minute." She said, laughing and turning to walk deeper into the woods.
It had been a few minutes and we were still walking. Still no sign or scent of Alex. I was starting to get worried. Then all of a sudden I heard a voice in my head. It took me a minute to realize that it was Alex's.
'Hey.' She said, sounding embarrassed.
'Hey. This so cool! So how does everyone know what you're saying?' I asked turning around to face her with a smile.
'Someone tells them what I said. I can only communicate with one person at a time.' She said, laying down and sighing.
'Cool. But this is getting a little awkward for me.' Isaid.
'I know the feeling.' She said, nodding her head. Then suddenly she started growling and stood up, looking at me.
"Alex. What are you doing?" I asked backing up slowly. I was shocked because I know I didn't do anything to make her angry.
She didn't say anything. Then she jumped. I cowered, but didn't feel anything except a light breeze. I heard a thud and Alex growling louder. I stood up and turned around. I looked around Alex and saw a tall, dark haired vampire. He kind of looked like Alex when she was in her human form. He was grinning.
"I finally found you. My daughter! My sweet Alex!" he said, clapping his hands together in front of his face and smiling. "My! How you have grown!"
That explains why they look alike. He's her father! Alex growled deeper and barked the meanest bark a wolf could possibly muster!
"Why don't you get into your human form, so we can talk easier? Hmmm?" Her father said, with an eyebrow raised.
Alex was still growling, but not as fierce. She stood up straight and it looked like she was melting. First her head started shrinking, then her paws started becoming hands, and her tail looked like it was being sucked into her body. Within a few minutes she was back in her human form. I blushed, but took off my jacket and handed it to her.
"Thanks." She said, softly. Then she draped the jacket over her shoulders. She turned her attention back to her father with a stern look. "Your daughter? I am not your daughter! You left me to fend for myself when I was only five!" she said, taking a couple of steps forward.
The guy looked down like he was hurt, and said, "I was barely alive when that vampire came by. He smelled the blood and figured something happened. He told me that if he changed me he would be giving me a dreadful life and that he would only do it if I said yes. He said that I would be able to live for you, but in order to do so I would have to be away from you for awhile. I said yes and he bit me. I felt a burning sensation through my entire body." He paused to take a breath.
I looked at Alex and her face was hard with pain and anger, but I looked in her eyes and they were filled with sorrow and hate.
"When I awoke again I was in this big glass house. The guy that changed me had white-blonde hair and a kind voice. He said he was a doctor and that the change was successful. We trained and we worked on my hunger for human blood. Finally when I was stable enough he told me what happened the night I got shot. He said that you were still alive, so I went looking for you. And now here I am!" he said, tears almost welling in his eyes.
