BLOODWIND: A SOUL'S WORTH

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

In the end the Corvinus clan decided they would go to school on Wednesday instead only missing one day. Their "First" day of school. Was interesting. They did not expect to see children from the reservation at forks high though it didn't take long for them to figure out why, the most shocking was the fact the werewolves were there. Colby Jon Lee and Fergal were lucky to be made immortal at an age no one questioned their age and forced them to attend high school. The rest were not so luck having been cursed with baby face features some more than others. So, they were lucky enough to stay home or do whatever they wanted to and not have to answer to anyone. The rest of them not so much. Carpooling was a nightmare everyone was arguing which cars to take eventually Emma made a comprise on depending on the size of the car they would use only two to car pool and each week or day depending on the mood they could choose another. After that idea, it was thumb war and rock paper scissors for the first choice and just to make it far they included 2nd to 6th place depending on who won how. After that disaster was over they made their way to the designated cars.

They arrived 20 minutes early surprisingly and decided to get their schedules but not before being bombarded by various students. Kess groaned as Jessica and her click came by with whom she was guessing was supposed to be Lauren (she wasn't featured in the movies if I remember correctly). They were trying too hard to impress them? The way the two girls sashayed their hips and their clothing so tight and short it looked like it came from the kid's section. Makeup painted so thick and so fake El wandered if you could peel them off like those masks on mission impossible 3. Before they could introduce themselves El decided it was time to get things moving she dislodged herself from the makeshift human interrogation room and ploughed her way through the throngs of people uttering apologies and claiming it was time to go get the schedules the "mafia kids" don't want a bad reputation after all. That caused the crowd to laugh and disperse on their own Kess was happy they had at least for now avoided confrontations and followed the now makeshift line that was heading towards the office.

They made it without further incident and collected from the elderly women with a seriously bad dye job. Who looked like she wanted to devour poor Matt in one bite. Once they compared schedules they were happy to see that one way or another they remained in pairs and had lunch together. They heard hoots and laughter that sounded familiar it would seem the wolves had arrived and if that was the case Cullens were not too far off. They talked awhile longer amongst themselves trying to ease the tension in their muscles. They had a plan well a makeshift one. They would still stay away from the wolves and vamps. Since that was the main goal anyway.

Though now they had to be slightly politer and try and figure out why they were imprinted on and try to keep the bond at arm's length. 5 minutes before the bell rang the dispersed to find their classes and maybe avoid the wolves and vamps for the moment. All found their classes just as the bell rang and made sure to put their bags on two seats beside each other before waiting for the teacher to hand in a slip that had to signed. Some introduced themselves others were fortunate enough to avoid that embarrassment.

Kess and El had the worst luck ever. Besides that, every morning they had to start advanced Algebra (hey you might be smarter than Einstein but maths still sucks) they happened to have Paul, Jacob and Edward in the same class the latter sitting behind them and the other two infront of them (Kess had chosen the seats in the middle so not to get chosen to often for questions) now they were in a slightly worse situation. El ever the lady banged her head on the desk in misery willing for the situation to be part of a bad dream muttering and clicking her black knee high Gucci boots together at the heel muttering "there's no place like home there's no place like home" Kess covered her mouth to stop laughing at her youngest.

When they had come in they had to introduce themselves in front of the class and by the time they saw the seating arrangements it was already too late to switch. The teacher then went outside to chase down a student he had seen lingering outside his class and made it his mission to escort said student to the principal's office. "Elrica you ok?" Paul looked so concerned for her his face creased and shadows of worry along his face. Kess nudged her sister. Who then looked at her sister then at the anxious wolf. She gave him a large warm smile that lit up the whole room. Her eyes sparkling as if to say "you're not my problem not at all you sweet man" "Of course not silly who likes to start their mornings like this hmmm?" she then propped her head on her hands a smile on her glossed up red lips looking at Paul who had a slightly dazed look on his face. Kess snorted her face turning a light shade of pink. Trying her best to keep her composure she was failing miserably it was as if she was hanging by a thread and all hell would break loose.

"Well looking at you every morning would be worth it" Paul winked at her in what they assumed was a sexy way. Kess burst out laughing all the mirth she had built up bottled over and her laugh ended up loud enough to call attention to them El was looking at Paul like he had grown a 2nd head and promptly hit him upside the head "BAKA! what kind of line is that!". Paul didn't know what the word baka meant but the hit up the head and tone she used it wasn't a compliment, before he could reply the teacher had returned and was looking in their direction where Edward and Jacob were worriedly surrounding Kess who had somehow landed up on the floor laughing with tears streaming down her face. "miss Corvinus would you please get hold of yourself."

After 5 minutes she had collected herself beside her younger sister. "Mr Black Mr Cullen return to your seats". Paul turned back grumpily Elrica was too busy with her sibling for her to notice Pauls staring "why did I use that line? God no wonder she hit me it was so cheesy even by my standards" . He then looked at his imprint who had a soft easy smile on her face. She wasn't wearing much make up in fact it looked as if the only thing she did was put that eye stuff on red lipstick and lip gloss. In fact even Jacobs and the leeches girl (insert snort here) didn't wear much pretty much the same as her sister. She was smiling at her sister who now recovered watching that smile he now knew why he used that line he meant it seeing her every morning would be the highlight of his day. He would bear a whole day of math algebra for her. He then opened his text book and stared at the numbers that looked like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to him. He winced OK maybe not the whole day.

(Not all of this are happening exactly as the same time as one another the might happen 15 min into the lesson or like 5 min before it ends or just as they entered so hope you don't get confused)

One class down from the sisters and 15 minutes before the class ended. Tom and Chanz had history with Alice Seth and Jared. Alice was lucky to have the werewolves that didn't hold to much animosity towards them as vampires and seemed content with either ignoring each other or if the need arises exchange polite conversation. Chanzy was determined to ignore the young wolf she didn't need a meeting in the Aether realm to make that decision, as far as she was concerned she was not a pedophile. To her standards, he was just a boy. He was her sons age when she was forced to leave him and that allowed a few moments of weakness on her part and allowed him in for a few minutes. She would admit he was a sweet kid and had the potential to be a great man his easy attitude and how he could let things just slide and take the best of a bad situation and unlike her had control of his temper she assumed that also had something to do with turning into a 6ft or bigger raging wolf otherwise. She wouldn't admit this (but she felt someone might have figured it out) that if he was older she wouldn't have minded so much. His body even now was in great form.

Werewolf genes rubbing odd in a good way. She could imagine him older more built growing into his looks then she would shiver in delight and as quick as it came it leaves her when she remembers that in their human years she was 2 years his senior just scratching 15 and doesn't even know what a relationship is never mind sex. He was naive and young. She is a woman and she has needs that must be met that cannot be handled by a boy. And no, you sick minded people not just physical but emotional to.

She knew he could give her the love she needed adore her and take her short temperedness in stride. Hell he might even curb the suspicious tendencies she has towards any male partner she picks. Yes, she knew she was that classical drop dead gorgeous blonde but all her siblings had that exotic sexiness to them and it had happened on many occasions where the men she chose went after one of her siblings. "Bad love luck" that's what it was and there was nothing she could do about even in the mother fucking anime the guy cheated on her. She has had enough and decided to do what El does and abstain (God knows how the hell she did it Chanz nearly jumped a reasonable looking druggie once for his not so bad boner he was sporting and Chanz happened to be a week away from her period and heightened hormones and 3 years with no sex was taking its toll on her body. When she asked El she laughed and said "I'm still scared of STDS, AIDS and such so that keeps me motivated and porn lots and lots of my favourite porn and a dildo". It quenched the ache between her legs most nights but human heat still beats it) in the end she was quite proud of herself.

She could look at men and not want to jump them madly. Only problem with being a pack and supernatural is each time you did your business you should take a shower then a bath or do your business in the shower then bath to kill the sex smell that would be wafting around you because nothing is more humiliating than your siblings knowing what you do with the Wi-Fi fully charged batteries and a Tablet. Heat rushed to her face god that was mortifying. El was just as embarrassed as her and said she was so sorry she didn't say anything presuming she knew I mean they had been this way well over 2 eras'. Chanz had one of her blonde moments which by the way never leaves you ever it's a curse of the blonde hair!

Anyway, the point is she doesn't do kids and Seth was without a doubt unquestionably "Hey chanz are you alright" The blonde immortal whipped her head to the young wolf in front of her. She barley noticed now that the students were conversing on WWII. She noticed Tom being hounded by his "mother". He had the luck of finding one with similar traits to El. A small smile graced her lips as she looked over. This is the mother El should have had. "Chanz" she then looked back at the wolf who was looking at her with deep brown puppy dog eyes that were filled with worry. She took a deep breath "I'm fine Seth shouldn't you be talking to Jared or something" he looked hurt at her words to quickly brush him off but as soon as it was there it was gone in a flash replaced with a smile. Chanz couldn't help but smile back.

He was adorable and if she could have a kid with a native American she wished it would look like Seth. The small smile encouraged the youngest wolf. "Nah his talking to an old buddy so I took this opportunity to talk to the most beautiful women in the room" Chanz blushed she couldn't help it. It's been a few decades since someone called her beautiful. Hot sexy gorgeous sex bomb even stunning. she could name other things males have called her, but the word beautiful held so much more in it that it wasn't just the outside but in that counted. The way he said it, there was no hidden sexual innuendo he didn't rack up her body with her eyes like she was a piece of meat to be devoured. He looked in her eyes and said it with his whole being and before she could stop herself she leaned forward and pecked him lightly on the check leaving a pink lipstick mark glowing proudly on his mocha native skin.

She gave him a smile "Thank you Seth that's the most romantic thing any man has said to me" and proceeded to him another soft peck on his mouth staining them pink and shinning. He licked his lips tasted like cherries. Tom stared wide eyed at his sister before laughing off his chair as her face changed from soft hearted to omg did I just eat worms face fortunately the bell rang and saved her from her lapse in judgement her brother which once the bell rang picked himself up to follow her still guffawing as following. "Ch- hahahahah Chanelle hahahaha wait" the blonde didn't pause and hurried out the class room. Fortunately, the only one who seemed to see the exchange of soft compliments and cherry kisses was Jared Alice and Tom. It didn't change the fact she did it. She let out a frustrated embarrassed sigh and tried her best not to let her hands run through her golden tresses that took her 30 minutes to look this way. Yes, blonde moments never seem to fade over time.

Matt and Emma were lucky they were about 5 minutes late the teacher let them off without a word (though I think his fear of being targeted by the mafia may have something to do with it and there were two seats next to each other waiting for them. Though you could see why Emmet Jasper and Embry seemed to be guarding the desk with no other choice they sat down and lucky for them the teacher had started their lesson so it allowed them to pretend to be paying attention The Spanish Tragedy which happened to be both Emma's and Els favourite revenge play seemed to be on the syllabus she couldn't wait to go home knowing her and el would pull out the old video machine just for fun to watch the play again. Though a gruesome play it held some intrigue. While the teacher was talking, Max got slightly bored and decide to irritate his sibling poking her with a pencil tugging at her hair he knew he had only 3 lives left before she killed him. He then put an arm around her shoulder when the teachers back was turned and gave her a quick warm hug deflating the anger building up in the red head, apologising for taking out his boredom on her.

Embry stiffened they both saw it. Matt looked at Emma with a raised eyebrow. Then there was a chocked growl then another followed which was also chocked awhile later. Students now stared at them having heard the noise themselves. Matt having seen the deer headlights look began thumping Embry on the back "He was choking on something" they took the explanation without 2nd thought and turned around. Matt then looked at Embry and said "You ok dude sounded like you ate popcorn and got an irritating piece got stuck in your throat" he was covering both his tracks to the humans and supes and it seemed as if his luck wasn't about to run out. Embry looked at Matt trying not to get jealous they were siblings its natural to tease and show brotherly affection for one another. He didn't understand why he growled. "Yeah thanks man" he then hit his chest for extra effort. 15 min into the lesson Emma herself began to get bored and decided to torment her brother in return with flicks under table kicks and punches. She geared up for a big kick and raised her knee a bit too high and hit the desk hard.

It didn't really hurt her but she saw Embry cringe at the sound and realized she better do what she does best acting. Thumping her head softly on the table she held her injured knee and let out pathetic whimpers of pain. Matt's shoulders were shaking beside her. "Miss Corvinus are you alright?" the teacher spoke with concern which was surprising "Yes sir just bumped my knee". Matt had kept a straight face while the teacher faced them after a satisfied nod he carries on with the lesson "Are you sure you're ok sounded like it hurt" Embry whispered to her.

She looked at him wondering if she should snap at him or not. So far, their good luck was well exceptionally good so instead of messing with karma she gave him a small smile and nodded trying her best not to tempt fate. Class carried on and soon they were left to their own devices Embry stealing looks in her direction with stars in his eyes of course she forgot about her brother who always liked to play a game of tag with fate. "So, you got a thing for my sister?". Emma snapped at her innocent dimpled brother. innocent my ass! From the corner of her eye she saw the two vampires lean closer in anticipation he didn't say it low enough for the vamps not to hear but said it low enough so other classmates wouldn't. Embry stuttered a bit the question looked like a deer caught in headlights. His eyes wide and skin flushed. "I mean you do realise she has 6 brothers and 3 sisters and we never let anyone in our circle you know why?" Emma let out a small breath Matt had picked up Els habit of not pulling punches, she eventually learnt there was a time and a place for these things which ironically enough Matt taught her. He picked a time where Embry's affections were rather obvious to anyone who bothered to look and wanted to start laying ground work for the WE ARE MAFIA STAY AWAY.

Hopefully their good luck would carry on turning. Embry's features hardened and had a stubborn crease through it. Uh oh "Just cause your mafia wont scare me" he looked at Matt what Emma guessed was an intimidating face (honestly, she couldn't tell she met many intimidating men in her time and this looked like a puppy pout excuse the pun) Matt had looked at him gave him a small pitiful smile "The mafia isn't movies. It takes unfaltering loyalty blood and loose morals. It's not just you it's your whole family your whole reservation that will be at risk. Who we have dinner with in a sense are demons wearing Gucci suits-"Emily couldn't help but snort at that thinking of their own demon summons. "they have no morals no lines between right and wrong and won't hesitate to use you and all you care for if they think it will give them leverage."

He then put his hand up stopping the young shape shifter from interrupting "imagine you and Emma get together everything is going good kids and all. Besides Emma and the kids, theirs your family lets presume you got brothers and sisters aunts and uncles. Who will protect them from those who wish to tear our empire down. We don't do prostitution but we know those who do and the best revenge is breaking ones spirit and letting their loved ones watch. Imagine you have a 12-year-old daughter you think they are above getting her addicted to drugs and whoring her out to old men with sick fantasies. Making your aunt or mother strippers or slaves all juiced up and beaten within an inch of their lives. Your brothers bodies defiled and unrecognizable. Sort of like those bodies in the woods that were spying on us". The bell rang ending the conversation between them Embry looked deep in thought. The vampires having a low discussion with one another. Emma and Matt left already sharing a secret low five at their accomplishment. They would soon discover that out of the 6 they had all the luck.
