BLOODWIND: A SOUL'S WORTH

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

I'm such a dumbass I wanted to add tattebo(believe it!) to the end of my authors note in chapter 13 you know Naruto's catch phrase *sigh* oh well on with my story.

"What!" though each voice different they carried the same shock outrage and disbelief. The imprinters (what else are you supposed to call them?) now stood in the forest near a river that was down the middle in territory lines. The rushing water was no problem for the supernatural's as their advanced hearing could be heard above the raw of water. The two white robins sat on the closest tree of the borderline listening intently to those that cause their masters and mistresses such unhappiness fortunately they too could hear these pesky troublemakers about the loud gushing water and thanked their master who had created them also made sure they could not shriek or squawk for they would have at the news the leader vampire had re-laid to the shapeshifting dogs instead the ruffled their clay feathers as if to shake off the shock and intently payed attention to the scene below one wanted to leave but the other said not yet. In the end the Corvinus clan would be happy with that decision

Carlisle sighed it went better than he though so far the wolves that couldn't control their tempers, vanished in the woods to strip and phase. He was not facing Billy Black the only human among them who looked deep in thought. Carlisle had only told them about the Hikaris not about Edwards imprint on the Brunette Corvinus. He saved that for last and a good thing too as it seems the younger black has anger issues. He knew he had to tell them about that and hope for the best he would need to speak to Sam first about restraining the young wolf before he relayed the deadly news to him.

Both the wolves and Vampires arrived at the former with a look of anger and suspicion. Once Carlisle had diplomatically confirmed the imprints. That Paul Embry Jacob and the girl wolf with her brother whose names escapes him at this moment in time. He then told the tale of the Hikari's.

No one knows if she was the first Japanese vampire or simply an unlucky kind women who was turned into one. Akiko. The tales spoke of her heart and that she only went after the guilty blood and defended the innocent the best she could. Her heart mourned for one thing. Children. She saw in the faces of mothers even though she knew she could not have children she still wished to give that love and want nothing in return. She went to visit a powerful Moji (with doctor) this is where the lines of fact and fiction blur and being vampires themselves and discovering other creatures didn't really clear this much. It was said the moji was with child. She fell in love with a farmer's boy who had been killed by his father. The witch then fled and hid in the mountains.

She was dying of a broken heart by the time Akiko had found her she was a shadow of herself. Apparently, Akiko forgot her wish and tried to help the witch as best she could. Then the baby came a month early. Akiko stood by her side and helped her best she could she even offered the young witch immortality after the birth she was weakened and refused it. "You are a Hikari in the dark tunnel I see in your heart want you want so it shall be" Akiko was confused at the young girl's words. When the baby boy started crying and she went to pick it up it looked at her and all of a sudden, the world grew brighter happier.

The witch gifted her with Hikari said to only go to her kind meaning the vampires if they were worthy of it. It was a parental love not like the imprinting at all, still as deadly to those who lost their Hikari's.

the witch died 3 months later even though she was not sick physically emotionally she could not got on. Akiko took care of the child and watched it grow. When the boy grew 16 years later the Romanians guard of maybe 29 who had come back from a small rebellion that had formed in japan this was before the Voltari had come into power. They saw Akiko with her Hikari Akito in a field full of flowers sun shining and without asking or waiting for an explanation drained Akito snapping his next. What happened next the remaining 3 soldiers that had survived called it Hells Furry. "You killed my Hikari! My beautiful Hikari!" by then they say a blood red light had surrounded her. Her eyes turned Black and pupiless. The air got heavy even for vampires.

Then she moved faster than any vampire they had ever seen in their immortal lives Vladimir and Stephan who had been there themselves said. That was the day they knew fear for the first time, by the time they had killed her they were only 3. Her mutterings of Hikari lingered in the air. They stopped near a village asking human after human about Akiko. And finally came across the story that held truth. Since then they have been only 10 documented Hikari's when the Volturi came into power they were curious of these and tried to even experiment on one such pair to see how it could benefit them. Let's say they made a law to touch a Hiakri was to touch a vampires mate Forbidden and those who disobey are put to death. Once the bond is made it cannot be broken and to try separate them would lead to madness to both parties. As the elder vampire explained this he saw Black listen intently and eyes seemed to want to recall something "Well that's nice Vampires can adopt what's your point" Paul Lahoote. A man whore as Rose had put it had his arms folded and eyes looking suspiciously at them. "You need to understand that Hikari's are a lot like imprints their needs come first we love and cherish them" he scoffed at him. Carlisle then took a deep breath "The Corvinus family are our Hikaris" and that's when all hell broke loose.

Black was lost in the past back when his father use to tell tales of the cold ones and the quillete village that his father and grandfather had passed on to him. He knew this tale not the same one but something similar the word Hikari stood out the most. His father only told him this tale once or twice. Old age did things to memories he just needed a moment or maybe a week to recall them. "I could try help you Mr. Black" Billy opened his eyes to see the one with messy copper hair talking to him. Wasn't that the mind reader he shifted in his chair uncomfortably. What sane person would like someone peering into their minds without their permission unable to lie or in this case keep information to themselves. "Help him with what?" Sam stood beside Billy the only one to have kept his cool during the explanation. Edward didn't answer but looked at Billy instead he let out a defeated sigh that's how he felt sometimes when the vampires were right he felt as if he had to admit defeat "I remember my father telling me story about Hikari" Sam shifted next to him and for a moment it looked as if he was fidgeting. The wild copper hair started smirking. Billy's eye twitched. "It seems you are not the only one" he then chose to take his eye off the young looking bloodsucker and look at Sam he too gave into defeat. "We will wait for the others to return".

It took a while for everyone to gather themselves. Sam then Alpha ordered for everyone to sit down and listen. The Cullen's spoke the truth besides the 3 wives' tale of the cold one ripping through the village there was one before that. A young male cold one was discovered near a young girl who had run away from the village because of the other kids picking on her the cold one was going to bring her home before he discovered after looking at the girl she was his hikari. According to the legends they stayed a month together more than enough time for the bond to form. The girl's mother whose husband had died in a land dispute with another tribe was distraught and begged the elders to spare at least one wolf to look for her. He finally agreed. When they had found, her she was by the lake getting water she looked healthy clean and happy. When she saw, them she tried to runaway once she screamed the cold one came "DO NOT TOUCH MY HIKARI" he was out numbered for other wolves had joined the search when a strange scent was picked up. Out of shock one of the wolves loosened the grip on the girl and she ran to him. The wolves not knowing what he was at the time perceived him shaman who cast a dark spell on the girl. While he was distracted looking at the child running to him, the wolves took that moment to tear him apart and burn him (once they figured out tearing him from limb to limb nearly 100 times didn't work) and while they had done that the young girl screamed each time a heart-breaking scream that caused animals to flee.

When they took her back to village. Her mother was happy to see her but the effects of them separating and killing her cold one Hikari already took its toll. She withdrew became sullen and slightly mad she hated the wolves and she made it known by always trying to kill them. Eventually the elders had had enough they thought that by killing the pale shaman the spell upon her would be broken. Eventually they called upon an old woman to help them. She was the most in tune with the spirits and her curiosity of this so called dark spell placed upon the young girl intrigued her.

She came to the village and that night preformed a ceremony that would be remembered. It Was a full moon when powers were at their highest with the spirits the villagers dragged the kicking screaming girl to the with who then drugged her and entered her mind. When the witch pulled out of their minds she had tears in them and looked at the unconscious girl with heart-breaking sadness she then unsheathed a dagger from her caught and ended the girl's life quickly. She then looked at the wolves and elders in disgust. "Next time kill both pairs of Hikari's one cannot survive without the other. It is a cruel painful death to leave one" she then left without another word the sky rumbled in her rage. Once again, the unusual name was brought up they never forgot it.

"Well that's the rough version of the events anyway some say the sky wept. And lands dried up but you got the basics of it. We never brought it up again I think it was shame on their part but we did pass down the story just in case". Sam Then looked at his pack shock evident on their faces. "So this means we have to share our imprints with the blood suckers!?" Leah was the first to come to she was looking panicked and well pissed off. Sam didn't answer instead looked at her. From what Leah understood it was like parental imprinting and separating them was like death to both of them not just the one. There was no way to keep them apart unless the either wanted death or madness to consume them. She finally got a piece of happiness and now again these vampires took it away she looked at them hatred burning deep inside "YOU RUIN EVERYTHING YOU TOOK SAM AWAY FROM ME NOW YOU WANT LEE. YOUR NOTHING MORE THAN LEECHES WHO SUCK AWAY AT ANY HAPPINESS" Leah was now breathing heavy hot tears running down her face she collapsed on ground beneath her.

Her body convulsing at the pent-up emotions she held in and were now finally coming out. Seth held his sister as she tried and failed to pull herself together again. Rose even felt guilt creep on her as she looked at the girl she wished then to be standing beside Emmet but then thought better of it.

It would be like pouring salt on the wound. As she looked at the young she wolf she couldn't help but see herself in her and made a snap decision. Which caused Edward to snap his head at her from the thoughts that came to her but she would not back down she then made her way to the front of the group and cleared her throat "I would like to speak privately with Leah I'm willing to come that side" "ROSE" Emmet hissed at his mate she then turned to him and gave her the most pleading look she could startled he said nothing more. "What makes you think I want to talk to you leech!" Leah spat with as much venom as could at the blonde vampire.

"Then just listen I will do the talking" Leah then looked at the vampire and saw something in her eyes cause the next thing she knew she was nodding her head at her. Rose then looked at Sam who was suspicious but then she had agreed to come on their side of the border. "So be it don't go too far". She pressed her lips together and gave him a curt nod. She then gracefully jumped the border line and waited for Leah by the trees who then phased into a wolf and run with the vampire.

"Seth phase into a wolf and keep an eye on your sister don't intrude on whatever they are discussing but keep an eye on her" Seth nodded at Sam. Emmet let a low growl he was now pacing his mate far from his protection. "There is more Sam" Carlisle then called the Alpha's attention back to him. Now slightly more calm he needed to take the band aid off quickly for the next one. He then looked at Jacob and Edward. The white clay eagle seagulls had heard enough though curious about how the other news will be taken, they felt it was enough information to take back to their masters. Soundlessly they took off while all seemed to be concentrating on the leader of the coven, they headed home not knowing that said blonde had saw them leave and was now curious as to why the same birds he saw yesterday were here today.
