Decisions

Ella's POV

They were protruding from the trees, the four of them stopped about five feet from me. They were watching my every move, but they weren't aggressive at the moment, I heard Collin running towards me, but these vampires weren't attacking, he slowed at my thoughts but I couldn't hear him. One of the vampires stepped forward and pulled their hood down, it was a girl with light blonde hair and blood-red eyes. she looked me over and gave a small smile,

"Would you mind phasing?" she asked calmly, I nodded once and her smile brightened. But, I needed to phase and my clothes, I walked towards her and sat down, pulling my leg out so she could see the clothes, apparently this was how the wolves were able to change so quickly, they kept their clothes roped to their hind legs. She looked slightly nervous but looked at my leg and seemed to realize what I meant. She gave a slight nod before turning towards the others.

"Turn." She ordered and they all turned, this girl had an ability, I had picked up some information from the other wolves, apparently some vampires had special abilities and they were more feared. There was a reason she was giving the orders. I quickly phased and pulled my clothes on. In the distance I heard a wolf howl, I know I'm being stupid, but I have had a terrible day and I was not thinking straight. The girl stepped forward and the others immediately stepped forward, there was another girl that hovered near the blonde girl. Her hood was pulled up so I couldn't see the color of her hair, only her face, she looked wary,

"What is your name?" she asked me, I shifted me weight, I haven't ever felt this unprotected. In the distance I could hear the slight beat of paws on the ground.

"Ella." I replied, the girl smiled at me, apparently she was happy that I was cooperating.

"Hello Ella, my name is Jane. I am here on a special quest so to speak. My master Aro would like to meet you." She stated, I just stared at her. The wolves were nearing the clearing, I could hear them clearer now. Then they broke through the trees to see me standing with four vampires as a human. They growled fiercely at the vampires, Jane looked at me clearly saying you stop them or we do.

"Stop." I stated, the wolves were still baring their teeth but there was no more growling. I could see Sam glaring at me, I turned back towards Jane when I heard the familiar sound of someone phasing. Next thing I knew I was on the ground, and above me was a very pissed off Collin,

"Are you insane?" he yelled at me, I looked at Jane, I had already guessed her power was a painful one and begged her with my eyes not to hurt him, she gave one slight nod. I stood up slowly and turned away from Collin,

"Why would Aro want me?" I asked Jane, she gave me a simple smile,

"Aro is a collector of a sort, he enjoys talents so to speak, and we were warned of you. He wanted us to see if you would join us Ella, he told us to find the wolf with silver fur and invite her to join us." She said with a dazzling smile, by the way she was talking she sound excited. I looked around to see the wolves looking at me as if I was a foreign disease or something worse. Collin was glaring at me as if I was the worst thing in the world, and I couldn't keep the pain from breaking through. I knew it showed on my face because Jane reached over and pat my shoulder reassuringly. I gave a slight nod, wasn't that what I was looking for a new start away from here, away from Collin, and away from the unwanted reminders of my father. She looked like I just told her she could have the world. I didn't bother to look at the wolves, I knew they were furious by my decision from their furious growls and snarls, and I knew they weren't for the vampires. Jane must have seen my face because she spoke,

"She may choose to return. It is her choice, and to prove what I say is true you may choose another wolf to accompany her on the journey. Both shall have the ability to communicate with you and their families daily." She stated, I was actually happy, less than five minutes after I met her, Jane has been more like a family to me than anyone else. I gave her my warmest smile and she returned it kindly.

"You may discuss your choice over the course of the next few hours, but our flight leaves at dawn. We expect for the pack member of your choice to be at the airport a half an hour before take-off." I heard a few nervous whimpers and some snarls. I was happy that I was not a wolf at the moment, the thoughts that were being shared I could guarantee were not appropriate for anyone under eighteen.

"What about her. How will you get her to the airport?" Collin spat, even when he said her, his voice was dripping with the disgust I had used on him less than an hour before. Jane looked thoughtful for a moment before she answered,

"Ella will be staying with us today, she will be sent home with a guard member to pack her things and leave a note for her parent or guardian. Then she will be escorted to the airport and wait for the arrival of the second pack member." She stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. She looked at me for a moment before speaking again.

"Ella, I'm going to send you with Renata, she's a shield. She can protect you against any physical attacks. Once you finish packing she'll tell you more about us. And you" she said turning towards the pack, "you have an important decision to make and I suggest you start conversing so your choice will have time to ready themselves for the long journey ahead." She stated, the small girl behind her stepped forward and took my hand and guided me towards my home.
