Chapter 12

Ignored

Melissa Wolf's POV

Previously...

"No, Jake. There's something you need to know."

"What, Seth?"

"It's Summer."

"What about Summer?"

"She's missing."

My heart stopped and cracked at Sam's words – she's missing. No! No, please, no! I was wide awake and out of Jake's arms in the blink of the eye, racing towards my home. I sensed and heard the others behind me but took no notice of them. All I could think about; all I could hope for was that Sam was wrong and Summer, little Summer was still fast asleep in her bed, dreaming happy dreams. As soon as I hit the edge of trees near my house, I knew that that wasn't the case. I could sense Derek all over this place and it was fresh.

"NO!" I screamed, taking no notice of the assuring hand on my arm. I didn't care whose it was and I charged up the porch, slamming the door open while breaking the lock, storming up the stairs into Summer's room. I stopped dead, staring horrified at Summer's empty bed. I had to get closer, just to see if my eyes were playing tricks on my but they weren't. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Please, God NO!"

Dread shot through me and I nearly collapsed. A pair of warm arms caught me, embracing me hard. I looked up through my tears to see Jake cradling me inside his arms. I wailed, having no idea what to do. Derek got her. I ignored him and he got her. I feel so stupid! I would never forgive myself if he... No! I couldn't even think it. Mom! Dylan! Were they still here?

I pushed past Jake and the others at the door, turning the corner into Dylan's room. Sure enough, he was asleep and didn't stir when I entered noisily. Some relief washed through me as I looked at him, peacefully sleeping. But I soon shifted my thoughts to my mother, charging back out the room and into hers down the hall.

My mom wasn't an easy sleeper like Dylan and when I entered, her eyes shot open in fright. She nearly screamed but I shot over to her to cover her mouth and shush her. When she saw it was me, she calmed a little. That soon changed when she saw my terrified expression and the men standing at her door. She gasped, sitting up.

"What? What is it? Dylan? SUMMER?" she screamed. I didn't answer her but a tear escaped my eye at the sound of her name.

"Mom, she's missing but I'm going to sort it. I'll get her back!" I assured her but as soon as the words were out my mouth, she was on her feet, running out the door and into Summer's room. She screamed, storming down stairs. I rushed after her, grabbing the phone that was immediately in her hands. "What are you doing?"
"No, mom! What are you doing?" I shot back, wrestling her hands off the receiver and slamming it back down. She picked it back up but it did it again. "MOM!"

"I'm calling the police!" she shouted, terrified tears in her eyes.

"It won't help mom!" I told her. She frowned.

"And why not?"

"Because they won't catch him!" I told her, desperate for her to understand but not to press too much about it. If she did, I might have to tell her everything and that I didn't want.

"They still need to be informed, Mel!" she shouted, really crying now.

"Mom, please? Trust me. I'm going to get her back!" I assured her. I could see the confusion in her eyes.

"How you going to that?" she asked, exasperated. I froze. She asked the question I dreaded. I looked towards Jake and the others and they shrugged, knowing what I was asking. Do I tell her? Could see handle it?

"Mom...I'm a...were...wolf." I stuttered and she gazed back in shock and confusion.

"A what?" she asked, blankly. I could see her eyes glass over.

"A werewolf." I repeated and that was all it took for her to faint into my arms. "MOM!"

"Let me have her!" Sam offered and I passed her on to him as he laid her on the couch. "She'll be alright."

"Thank you, Sam."

"You're welcome." he replied in a voice plastered with respect. I sighed. Nothing was going to be the same in the pack.

I heard rustling on the stairs and all the commotion was just enough to wake Dylan from his slumber. He trudged downstairs, still not in the know of the situation, rubbing his eyes tiredly with morning hair. It was only 3:30 in the morning.

"What's all the noise about?" he whined. He stepped short when he opened his eyes, focusing on us, mostly the huge men in the living room. His eyes widened as he took them all in.

"Dyl, go back to bed." I begged. He frowned, looking around the room, his eyes rested on Mom, unconscious on the couch.

"MOM!" he shouted, sprinting over to her, ignoring the huge men as he pushed through. "What happened?"

"She just fainted; she'll be fine, Dyl. Go back to bed." I begged again. I was exhausted but I had to fix this.

"No, why'd she faint?" he asked, panicked.

"She'll be okay." Sam assured him. It was only then that Dyl realised he was crouched next to him. He scooted over away from him, a little overwhelmed.

"I didn't ask that! I just asked how she fainted!"

"It doesn't matter." I said, irritated. I didn't want to be here. I needed to find Summer.

"Of course it matters, Mel! And where the hell's Summer?" he asked, confused. Recognition shot across his face and he looked between mom and me. "Mel, where's Summer?"

"Dyl, don't worry. I mean it, we'll find her." I assured him, gesturing to the guys too. He looked around them all, frowning.

"How are they supposed to help? And what you going to do? Who the hell got her?" he spluttered, his voice raising.

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes, it does matter!"

"No, Dyl! Shut up!"

"MEL, WHO GOT HER?" he shouted, sickeningly worried. I hesitated. "MEL!"

"Derek," was all I said and he nearly collapsed too. He caught himself, panting and wide eyed.

"But you told me he wasn't around!" he shouted.

"I said that night, Dyl. Not ever." I contradicted.

"How does he keep finding us?" he asked me, perplexed.

I hesitated again. Mom knew. That was one thing but Dylan? How would he take it? Would he faint too? He was usually good with this stuff, you know, stuff out of the ordinary. He loved mythical creatures. I tried to way the options up in my head but I don't think there was any other.

"Come on, Mel. Don't keep things from me." he begged. I sighed, conflicted. He waited, peering at me with pleading eyes. I glanced towards the others again and once again, they shrugged.

"He tracks us." I told him. He looked bewildered and he shook his head. "Just like we'll find him, we'll track him."

"You make yourself sound this some sort of animal, like, like a wolf or something." he chuckled, dryly, turning towards mom to stroke her cheek. When I didn't respond to his remark, he turned towards me, curious as to why I hadn't. He took in my undenying expression and frowned. "You've lost your mind."

"Believe what you want, Dyl. I won't make you and I'm not showing you. I've already made that mistake once tonight." I said, emotionless. I saw some of the guys frown, sadly. "All you need to know is that I'm going to find her, I promise."

He stared at me incredulously, gob smacked that I haven't denied it yet. "You're a wolf?" he asked, doubtingly. I nodded, hesitantly. He cocked an eyebrow, still disbelieving then he looked at the guys. "Are they? Because that would explain so much."

"Yeah. We are too." Jake told him, chuckling. His expression became that of gawking again, like he was idolising them.

"That is soooo cool." he enthused, still a little shocked. They all smiled, lightly, pleased with his reaction. I sighed.

"Back to the present people!" I ordered and they snapped out of it. "I'm going after him. I need one or two of you to stay with them, please?"

Colin and Brady volunteered and that I was happy with. They were the youngest wolves. I nodded, racing upstairs to change into something less burdening. I returned down, slightly comprehensive because of what I was wearing. I knew that the guys would love seeing me in this tank top-shorts outfit and I knew that Jake already had. I shot down and saw they were staring wide eyed. Jake looked hungry again but I snapped them out of it again, racing for the door.

"Mel, wait!" Dylan shouted, running up to me and throwing his arms around my waist. "Be careful!"

"I will, Dyl. Help look after mom, yeah? Stay out of trouble, please for me? I know you."

"I promise only if you promise to come back in one piece." he stipulated and I smiled down to him in awed. I nodded, hugging him.

"I promise." I vowed, kissing the top of his head. "I need to go."

"Okay. But that little scene didn't just happen. You didn't see anything." he guarded himself. I chuckled as did the guys.

"Didn't see a thing. Bye." I said, shooting out the door and into the forest's cover. I stopped a little way.

"What you doing?" Sam asked as I made my way to the bush. I undressed out of their sights and tied my clothes to my ankle.

"Please, no more ass kissing while I'm phased." I ordered as I felt the hot shiver shoot down my spine and I exploded into a white wolf. I crawled from behind the bush and saw the same amazed, shocked, happy faces I saw the first time. I sighed then growled, picking them out of their staring sesh. They nodded and stripped, tying their shorts to their ankles too. Leah came from behind a bush like me and I looked at her.

I felt an unfamiliar vibe coming from her, like we should stick together like glue. I felt a better companionship with her than any other. I could tell the guys could sense that too and they gazed on as Leah and I bumped noses.

I had to fight to hear the voices in my heads. I hadn't fully committed to the pack and it was hard.

Mel...you...hear...us? Jake asked, though it was like a distant whisper.

Faintly. I replied.

We'll...hear...better...if you...commit. Sam told me.

But...

Just...for...now...Mel-Mel. Jake assured me. We'll...talk...about...it...later. We...need to...find...Summer.

I thought about it, doubting that I would be able to just turn back on my decision but I would need help to find Summer. She was more important than my position in the pack so...I commit.

As soon as I thought those words, their mind voices became clearer and I could hear their thoughts more easily. I could sense that the alpha was Jacob and he had a dominant presence in my head. The next one was Sam, guessing he was in second command or something. They didn't shout at me in my head. It sounded like they were talking to me regularly. It was rather weird because I've never had this in my head before now, though it was reassuring to have them there now. I felt safe; supported.

And you are. Jake agreed. I frowned, or as much as a wolf can frown.

You heard that? I asked, confused.

Yeah. Weird, isn't it? Paul asked. I nodded.

You're officially one of us! Seth enthused. Leah, in fact all of them mirror his excitement and I could see, or hear now about the way they saw me now. I sighed.

We're sorry, Mel. But we can't help it. It feels right to respect and...well, worship you. Paul told me, cautiously.

Do you have to? I asked, incredulously. They nodded and I sighed, heavily. Fine. Just don't do it around me. Please?

Fine. Sam agreed but I could still hear the respect in his voice.

Sam.

Sorry.

Can we go?

Definitely. Jake said, smelling the air.

He began to run in a direction that was the opposite to where I smelt the scent.

Trust me, Mel-Mel. He assured me and I nodded, following him.

That is so wrong. Seth complained, replaying all the times he's seen us together. I was shocked.

You can see each other's memories? I asked, guarded. They chuckled.

Yep. Leah confirmed, sarcastically. I sighed, making a note to watch what I think.

Jake changed direction and I could tell now that he was trying to head Derek off from in front of him. We were charging right for him and the scent became stronger. I sped faster with them all on my tail.

Mel, slow down. We're stronger together. Jake ordered and I could feel myself do so without my consent. Sorry, Alpha command.

That's going to be annoying. I noted to myself but of course, they all heard me.

Trust us, it is. Seth moaned. Jake became smug.

Focus. We're close. Sam told us and my hackles shot up as the scent surely was extremely strong. It was mixed with Summer's and that alone was enough to make me sprint off.

Mel!

I took no notice of them and raced towards Summer. She wasn't crying, in fact, she was laughing. Derek was playing with her, like he used to. For a minute, it made my heart swell but the memory of what he did surfaced in me and I growled as I sprung out the trees at Derek. He dodged me, not grabbing Summer as he dashed off into the woods. I begged Jake and the others to watch Summer for me but only a few of them stayed. Jake, Sam, Paul and Jared were on my trail, chasing after Derek.

Derek halted abruptly and spun around in just enough time to back swipe me, launching me across the clearing he stopped in. I yelped as I crashed to the ground. I could hear a fight going on around me but something was off. More vampires had joined Derek. I came around to see Jake hovering over me, nudging my head with his muzzle and whimpering for me to get up.

Mel, baby. You alright? He asked anxiously. I whined in assurance.

Yeah, Jake. Jake, WATCH OUT! I warned as a black skinned vampire launched at him from behind. I shot up, in front of Jake in time to defend him but not in enough time to defend myself and the vampire's teeth sunk deep into my hind leg. I growled and yelped at the same time. Jake growled furiously.

MEL! He screamed, taking out the vampire in three blows. But then he was knocked sideways, away from the fight by another vampire, leaving the injured me open for attack. I stood up as best as I could and I could feel an unusual power flowing through me, strength to fight. I growled at five vampires surrounded me. I could hear Derek protesting in the background but he couldn't take on five vampires. I readied myself as more vampires came out of the trees. A pink haired one launched herself at me, biting my shoulder. I shoved her off, tearing her in two. Two more sprang at me and I dodged them, causing them to crash into each other with a huge thunderous bang. They started to fight each other which was odd but paid no more than two seconds attention to it as another vampire attached himself to my back. He bit my neck as another bit my ankle and I could feel the venom now, coursing angrily through my veins, killing me but I fought on, fuelled by this weird power. I've never had it before, I've never felt it until now. It felt good. It was like it was trying to fight of the venom in my blood stream too. I howled, causing a momentary lapse in the vampires concentration and I tore through the remaining vampires with such force that they shattered. I howled again as they were all dead and collapsed on the floor, yelping. Jake forgot about the vampires around him and came to me, whimpering worriedly. Mel, baby, can you hear me? You're going to be fine, baby, I promise.

He said that but it didn't match his thoughts. The last wolf, Paul, to be bitten nearly died. If it weren't for Carlisle then he'd be now. Who was Carlisle? It hurt so much. It felt like wildfire through my veins, like it was shutting me down. I couldn't stop yelping.

The last of the cries eased away around me and soon I was being addressed by other members of the pack.

Mel!

Oh no! Mel! Leah screamed, coming to my side immediately.

We need to get her to Carlisle. Jake thought, though I was finding it hard to hear any of them right now as shrill buzzing soared in my ears. Mel, baby, hold on. No, don't go to sleep. Stay awake!

His voice was panicked.

Jake, we can't move her and we can't ask her to phase yet. Sam reasoned.

I'll go get him. Jared volunteered and Jake nodded.

GO, HURRY! Jake ordered. I could hear the alpha in his tone.

I don't know how much time passed or whether any passed at all. All I could feel were warm hands all over my body. I had phased back sometime and was in my shorts and tank tops, courtesy of Leah's dressing. I think I've stopped yelping. I could hardly tell anything other than where the venom in my veins was. I could feel it in nearly every inch of me.

I was startled when I felt a pair of cold hands on my chest and I hissed as vampire stench infiltrated my nose. Jake held me in place though, despite my objections as the cold hands felt a long the bite marks on my ankle, neck, shoulder and leg.

"Mel, this is Carlisle. He is a vampire but he can help. He isn't like Derek." Jake assured me but I growled again at Derek's name. "Just let him help."

"Melissa. I'm Carlisle Cullen. This is my son, Edward Cullen. We're here to help. We won't hurt you." the man's voice sounded as well as another. His voice was calmed and had a soothing effect that got to me. I stopped struggling, feeling Jake's grip loosen slightly.

They started to do this weird thing. It felt like my blood was being sucked but then replaced and thought, for only a second, whether one of the vampires were sucking my blood. Jake could sense my anxiousness and explained.

"It's a blood transfusion, baby. Don't be scared."

"Summer..." I breathed, barely conscious. Everything was so dream like at the minute.

"She's fine. She's safe at home with your mom and Dylan and the other two guys." he assured me. "Some others returned too. She's safe."

Relief washed through me and I suddenly felt extremely weary. I could feel the last of my consciousness washing away and my mind fell into darkness.

Short, I know but I want to finish my other story, Scarlet Dreams because it's nearing it's end so I apologise if this chapter wasn't very good :(

Send me a review though, because you love me :D I'll love you forever if you do :D

love,
