Ch. 4 Training

Cindy's POV

'I love my new family!' I kept thinking over and over again all of this week, probably driving Edward up the wall about it too. Not even an hour after I met everyone, Esme had me move into the extra guest room that had the best view of the 'backyard'.

Edward and Emmett both became older brothers to me and with them and Jasper I felt very much protected. Alice and Rosalie were like the sisters that I never had, though they tended to go past the limit of extreme quite often- they will literally have to drag Bella and I when they want to take us shopping. Esme and Carlisle easily accepted me into their family and have treated me like their own.

When I first got here, I thought that Forks would be a quiet little place to live, that nothing big was going to happen. Then I found my brother and became a part of his vampire family. I thought that nothing else could surprise me after that. Boy was I wrong!

Seems that there had been more that had happened in my brother's past than I thought. A year ago, some vampire tracker had tried to kill Bella and Edward and the rest of the Cullens had killed him in the end. Now the tracker's mate was creating herself an army so that she would be able to kill my new family and Bella. Bella had filled me in on it all. The only reason why we kept the façade of the graduating party was because of the fact that if we didn't, it would look suspicious.

So after today's rather interesting graduation ceremony, we all headed back home to get ready for the party. Alice had already got me prepared for it- a purple sequined tank top, black leggings and a short denim shirt, along with some black leather boots that reached my knees and had two inch heels, a smoky eye look, and an elaborate hairstyle- and seeing as everyone else had already finished preparing last-minute things, I just sat at the island in the kitchen and munched away on some pretzels.

The party had been going well. Whenever someone would come up and introduce themselves, I'd tell them that I was an old friend of Alice back from their last school in Alaska who came to wish her friend congratulations. Other than that, I was pretty much out of the way. It wasn't until about later on where things got really weird.

I didn't think that these boys were a part of Forks' graduating year. The three of them seemed too tall and so mature looking to actually be a part of high school- that and the fact that they all had a much darker skin tone than the students here. I guessed that the one standing in the middle knew Bella seeing as when he saw her he made his way over to her, followed closely behind by the other two as though they were flanking him.

"Come outside," Jasper said as he appeared beside me, causing me to jump out of my skin somewhat. When I looked up at him, I saw that he wasn't looking at me but at those boys and Bella who were all heading to the balcony. I allowed him to bring me outside where the rest of the family was and waiting to find out what was going on.

"Who's this?" one of the boys asked me.

"This is my biological sister, Cynthia. Cynthia, these are some of the wolves," Jasper quickly introduced us. Wait, what? Werewolves? I'm supposing someone's going to tell me the Loch Ness monster existed too? I heard Edward slightly chuckle at that. Would you please stay out of my head Edward? He nodded.

"I'm Quil, that's Embry, and that there is Jacob," the boy introduced his friends, each of them nodding their head when their name was mentioned, Jacob not even bothering to look at me. I politely nodded my head to each of them before turning to Carlisle who began talking.

Jacob's POV (AN: Yay! Jacob's here now!)

When I looked up as the doctor was telling us about what had been happening with the redheaded leech after Bella, I looked at the new girl and I felt strange. It felt like everything that had been keeping me to the earth disappeared and in their place was one connection that felt like it was made of steel. Nothing else mattered anymore except her. Cynthia.

"It'll be dangerous," Carlisle finished. "An army of newborn vampires is very powerful. Some of us may not make it out alive."

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm in," Cynthia stated as she pushed herself away from the railing. I was about to protest, but her brother got there first.

"Absolutely not!" he yelled. "I'm not about to let you go and risk your life against something like-"

"I'm going whether you want me to or not Jasper," she cut him off. "I'm not going to sit back and twiddle my thumbs while I worry about you and everyone else fighting, not knowing if all of you will come back or not. I went through that once already, so please don't make me do that again! Please!" she begged, the sound in her voice making my heart ache. I wanted to make it stop.

"We're in too," I added in, catching the attention of everyone else. "If there are vampires in the area, then we're going to stop them."

"Jake, you can't! They'll kill you!" Bella exclaimed.

'Better me than Cynthia,' I thought, and I saw from the corner of my eye that the bloodsucker Bella was with was looking at me in surprise. 'Stay the hell out of my head, leech!' Surprisingly, he did.

"You wanted us to get along, remember?" I asked Bella. I guess she realized that I wasn't going to budge on this since she didn't answer my question. I turned my eyes to look at Cynthia and she gave me a thankful smile. That smile made me want to do anything to see it again.

After going through the plan to start training tonight, Quil, Embry and I all got out of there fast. The smell that came off those leeches was so sweet it made my nose burn.

"So Jake man, what's up with you?" Huh?

"Yeah man! You were pining over that new girl like an idiot," Quil added. "Don't tell me you imprinted on her!" When I didn't answer, he looked stunned. "Dude, that's just sick! The girl's one of them!"

"No she isn't!" I hissed back. "She smelt nothing like a vampire!"

"Well she didn't smell like a human, that's for sure!" Embry yelled. I didn't answer that but just stripped down and transformed, running as far as I could away from clown one and two. I just needed to calm myself down. I didn't want to look upset in front of Cynthia.

Cindy's POV

About two hours after the party had finished and we took care of the mess that was left behind, we all headed to the forest- my transport being a human backpack on my brother's back and leaving after everyone else. Jasper hadn't let me out until I had changed in somewhat more appropriate clothing and a warm jacket.

"They should be here soon," Carlisle said. As soon as he did, there was a rustling in the trees to my right and I turned around as a group of twelve some odd giant wolves stepped into the clearing. I don't know why, but it felt like something was drawing me towards the russet-brown one. The only thing that stopped me was my brother's arm around my waist.

"Thank you for coming. You all understand why you're here, I'm sure," Carlisle greeted the wolves. He explained that the vampire army in Seattle was going to be coming to Forks, and that we needed to be ready to fight them.

"They want to know what good Cynthia will be," Edward spoke up for the wolves. I scoffed before tugging at the belt of my jacket and flinging it off me.

My fighting outfit consisted of a dark purple shirt had long sleeves and was covered mostly by the brown beaten-leather corset, my legs wrapped in black leather pants that were so tight, you would have thought I was poured into them, and the boots Alice loan me covered my feet. Around my neck was my chocker I made that represented my house of power, and I had a silver chain around my waist acting as a belt. When I came down from my room before, Jasper nearly had a fit, but he finally gave in after I told him that the special symbols I had embroidered on the clothes were protection charms and strength and speed spells.

"I'm going to need a partner for this," I said. "Emmett, you up for an ass whooping?"

"Yeah right!" he laughed as he messed my hair. He laughed louder when I shoved off his arm. I flipped back a couple shots before taking my stance.

"Don't hold back." "Not in my nature." With that being said, he charged at me. I flipped out of the way again and shot a blast of electricity directly where his feet had just been, leaving a giant scorch mark in the grass.

"Missed me," Emmett grinned.

"That was the plan," I said, smiling like a cat given cream. His eyes widened as he felt the chain I removed from my waist tighten around him like a snake. I could see him struggling to break it, but it held true. I grinned and yanked hard on the chain, sending him crashing to the ground. I jumped up and landed with one foot on his chest, my hand crackling with electricity. "You were saying?"

"How'd you do that?" Bella asked from at her place on the giant rock nearby.

"This chain is specially made to counter strength," I answered. "Usually, I just use it on a witch or wizard that's using a strength charm or a spell, but it has the same basic principles against vampires, it seems. Add that to some speed and strength spells on me," I gestured to the details of my wardrobe," and you've got it made." I grinned and wrapped the chain around my waist before walking to Jasper's side.

After Jasper had gone through the most important rules about fighting with newborns, we did a bit more practicing to show the wolves. I got partnered with Edward, who almost got me if it weren't for the mistake he made of letting down his guard, a couple more shots against Emmett, one with Alice, and once with Jasper who was the only one who got me.

"Oy," I sighed as I walked over to Bella. I went to sit down, but instead pushed myself up on my hands and just sort of swung there, my feet dangling over the side of the rock. Imagine seeing a freeze shot of a gymnast on the balance beam.

"You alright?" Bella asked me.

"I'm fine. Just a little tired," I answered with a smile, plopping down onto the boulder. With nothing better to really do, I just sat there with Bella and watched as everyone practiced fighting the newborns. After a few minutes, the russet-brown wolf walked up towards us.

"Hey Jake," Bella greeted him and scratched the back of his head lightly.

"So that's Jacob's wolf form?" I asked. He nodded his head and walked over to me. I raised my hand over his fur, waiting for his reaction to my touching him. When he pushed his head into my hand lightly, I took it as a good sign and lightly scratched behind his ears. A sound of content came from his muzzle.

"I think it's time to go," Edward said as he suddenly appeared beside Bella. I only now noticed that her eyes were drooping with exhaustion. I myself was a little tired and wanted a nice soft bed and a warm bath. I jumped down from the boulder and stretched, my joints popping as they went back into place.

"Sounds like a plan," I said before I cut myself off with a yawn. "Goodnight Jacob," I said as I waved to the wolf.

"He says goodnight to you too," Edward replied for him. I smiled as I pulled my jacket on and jumped onto Jasper's back. When we got home, I remember just going up to my room and falling onto the bed.

So that's chapter 4. How was it this shot around? Could have been better? Don't change a thing? What? I really could use reviews!
