Chapter 16: Treaty

Disclaimer : I don't see why i still do a disclaimer, cause i have a disclaimer in my profile. Anyways, Stephenie Meyer owns all the characters and blah blah blah.

EPOV

Since sleeping wasn't an option for vampires we had agreed to meet at the same clearing were Sam and i initiated in combat, at sunrise.

"This clearing should have a special name, because of the many events that has happened here," said Emmett.

"Shut up, Em," said Rosalie.

"Well it should."

It was was better to get this done and over with than having to worry about it later, so we all left home early.

We arrived there around 6:45. (A/N: I'm not sure if that's the time the sun rise, if not sorry)

"Are they almost there," Alice murmured looking around at our surroundings.

"Be patient love," Jasper whispered in her ears.

"Sorry, i just hate not knowing what's gonna happen next."

"Almost," i replied softly.

"Your right, i can take in their stench now," said Rosalie.

We all sighed as the too familiar fetid odor began to fill the air and into our nostrils.

Carlisle and i, as the translator, stepped forward before the pack, since they were all in wolf form.

Everyone else stood behind us as witnesses/bystanders of the scene.

I guess the pack still took us as a threat even after they proposed this treaty.

After looking at each individual wolf, I was soon agape when i realized Sam wasn't one of the wolves that stood in front of us. Shouldn't the pack leader be at a function this important, or is this treaty irrelevant to them.

"Its good to see you all again," said Carlisle.

'Wish we could say the same about you,' thought Paul.

Carlisle hadn't realize Sam wasn't here.

I was about to tell him Sam wasn't present, when a human figure began walking forward.

We soon recognized him as Sam.

I felt a little inconsequential standing next to Carlisle now, because i wasn't needed to translate anymore.

'I don't see why Sam has to be a big wuss and create a treaty,' thought Leah.

'Why couldn't he just stall a few more minutes, we would had arrived and demolish these bloodsuckers.'

Sam's eyes were dead and lifeless as he approached us.

There was no need for a written treaty, since we both obviously have an everlasting memory.

We'd probably write one later on though, as proof of this new treaty.

"If my memory serve me right, i recall the agreement was that 'no retaliation will be countered toward the Cullens if they bite/change a person of their own free will.'

"Also 'if one of you destroy one of our kind out of self-defense and likewise. No bloodshed will commence and likewise.'

"Deal?" Sam asked.

"Deal," repeated Carlise.

We heard Paul growled.

'Are you freaking serious,' thought Paul.

'Edward fuckin killed Jacob out of vengeance and we're just gonna create a stupid treaty?'

'Jacob and i may had not been close, but that doesn't mean we should just let his murderer walk around freely.'

'Consider me done with this fuckin pack.'

After that, he let out another loud grunt and sprint away.

Everyone turned around to look at the running Paul, all bemused as to why he ran away, except the pack excluding Sam.

I quickly explained why he left, censoring some of his words, to Sam and my family.

Outraged, Sam changed into wolf form and left followed by the rest of the pack.

As much as we wanted to help settle the conflict between Sam and Paul, nothing good would be the outcome if we interfered.

So we departed, heading back home to my love, Bella whom should be fully transformed in a couple of hours.

My life has being empty without having her consciously next to me this past two and 1/2 days.

I couldn't wait for my wife to be back into my life again.

I just hope she's not mad because she was changed before i fulfilled my part of the deal and because of me murdering her best friend.

If i didn't take matters into my own hand she'd be gone forever and i with her.

Hopefully she'll let me explain before jumping to conclusion.

SAM'S POV ( This takes place right after Sam left and went after Paul)

"Damn it, Paul, why the hell did you do that for?" Said Sam.

"We talked about this last night and agreed that this was the best thing we could do with this conflict."

"Do you- You talked Sam and you agreed on this, all we did was listen." Paul said.

"If you were so hell bent against this decision, then why didn't you say something." Said Sam.

"Oh, sure i should had said something you would had definitely took my thoughts to consideration," Paul said with sarcasm.

"Drop the fucking sarcasm, if i knew you'd react like this I'd- You'd what Sam? Let us start a battle with them? You know you're too much of a chicken to do anything involving a combat."

"That's because i don't want to have to lose anyone else."

"Do you have to be so freaking selfish all the time Paul."

"For once think about someone other then yourself."

"I am, Jacob doesn't deserve this, he deserve- What, a blitzkrieg ( A/N: i would had never thought i'd use that word in life, i guess history vocabulary is important,lol) to start after his death?"

"You know that's what he'd want."

"Well that's why he isn't the pack leader, we both know Jake let his emotion take over his better judgement 80 of the time."

"That's not what he's getting, not at the expense of putting all of our lives in danger."

"You imprinted on his sister, she already lost a brother she doesn't need to lose you too, she needs a save harbor right now and you can be that for her."

"Please think about that."

"He deserves better Sam- And we are giving him better"

"This treaty was the best way we could had approach this Paul."

"We are doing what's best for Jake and all of us."

"Can you please understand and come back to the pack?"

"...Fine, but i don't want the bloodsuckers to step foot in Washington anymore."

"Okay, I'll put that to a vote with the rest of the pack and we'll make a decision."

"So is it all good between you and i?"

"Things were never good between us Sam, but... i guess we're okay."

"You back in the pack?"

"I don't really have a choice Sam, its not like you wouldn't had commanded me back in the pack if i had tried to leave for good."

"Alright then, since the whole pack is here and we're already here in Denali, Canada,

let's make the decision now."

"If you agree with Paul and think that the Cullens should be ban from coming to Washington, raise your paw."

"Alright then, since everyone agreed and the Cullens are probably at their house lets go and inform them on the added information to this treaty."

"The faster we get there there, the sooner we'll be home."

With that said we all ran at full speed to the Cullens' home, each trying to outrun the other.
