Chapter 15: (this in Jakes POV… maybe we'll get some action?) (if a words in all caps it should be italic… but idk how to do that)

So this was where the psychic leech took Bella before. The stone walls surrounding the city of Volterra seemed oddly fitting, a cage keeping the in the parasites. It was scary to think they could near rule a city right under the human's noses. I hadn't figured it out yet. Were random murders and disappearances acceptable here?

I'd been in the city for two days now; the sweet sent was maddening, and impossible to ignore. I'd been through most of the streets, no sign of a problem yet, but I would have to interfere soon. Whether it was because I loved Bella or Edward, I would let their wedding happen. Nonetheless I was bound by instinct to do as Edward pleased.

The first thing I noticed about the city were the hooded figures in dark cape-like robes. Back home the attire would be a Halloween costume, these hooded figures wouldn't even need the plastic fangs, but here it was more like a status symbol.

I wandered the streets yet again working out the details of my plan. I was thinking, of just random things to cause suspicion. I could flip a few cars, take down a few trees leave some wolfie foot prints. I caught a waft of their scent in the breeze and shuddered trying to control my temper and not phase right there in the crowded street. There would be a confrontation but not yet. The psychic said they wouldn't be leaving until the day before the wedding. Leaving me with two whole days to cause mild chaos.

As the sun set and was dark enough for cover, I went to the forest and phased mid step. My new self took in their scent even stronger, this was going to take some serious restraint, even if killing one of them wouldn't exactly be murder and it would cause a diversion. Then again it was a good plan…in case of emergency.

I found an empty street, being careful to leave random foot prints. I picked up one end of a fancy sports car, and my human mind admired it. Easily I turned it over without causing a scratch. There was still no one coming. I sprinted into the forest and returned quickly as a human. I ran my hand around the car. I was sure that THEY would pick up on the scent.

The next day I continued my routine of walking the streets, in human form of course. By early morning news of the turned car had been spread through the city. Apparently vandalism and crime were pretty rare here shocking, if you accounted for the number of deadly monsters present.. The footprints were caused the townsfolk to be even more suspicious. I chuckled to myself as I caught the conversation of two men behind me. One was swearing to the other that he'd seen foot prints, and that big-foot was in town. The other, said a grizzly bear was trapped inside the city walls.

I rounded the next corner and went in to hysterics.

Later on I found myself a wolf again wandering the dark empty streets without a plan. I hadn't been paying to much attention, to my surroundings. The entire city would be asleep this late. That's when the scent hit me, hard. I couldn't control my instinct there were two of them closing in. The bloodsucker was caught off guard.

My teeth closed around its neck, as it rounded the corner. I could feel the stone blows pounding my face and back. Adrenalin was pounding, my instincts in full control, I hadn't been allowed to kill one in so long. I saw the second robe flowing in the wind as I tore its companion to pieces. It hadn't even put up that much of a fight.
