AN: I own nothing… :) Thanks for all the reviews I received! Be warned, many of you will not like this chapter and for that I am sorry...
Chapter 10
Seth POV-
The house was strangely quiet I noticed when I exited my room and made my way to the kitchen.
"Yes," I heard Sam say to the phone. "Ok, I understand thank you… We're working on it… No, not yet, yes he can… Ok thank you… Hello, we would love to… Does he feel up to that? Ok sure..."
I took a seat with the rest of the pack as we stare at Sam; I was curious who he could be talking to. He was using his; I'm trying to be nice voice.
"So who was that?" Paul asked the second Sam was off the phone.
"Carlisle Cullen, apparently one of his family members can see the future and has seen three nomads in this area. He was calling us to warn us about it. Also Ephraim and Edward would like for us to join them today. Ephraim has information he would like to pass down to us. We meet them in two hours in a meadow not far from here." Apparently that is all Sam was going to share with us because he sat back at the table and started eating.
Edward POV-
Carlisle had decided to wait till 8:00 to call over at the Uleys house. He didn't want to disturb anyone, especially with their two babies in the house.
"Hello, may I please speak to Sam Uley? This is Carlisle Cullen." Carlisle said as the entire family sat in the living room.
"This is Sam, hello Mr. Cullen." We could hear Sam say.
Carlisle went on to tell Sam about the upcoming threat that Alice had seen.
Edward, why don't you ask Sam and his pack to join us today? I have some information I wish to pass to them. Ephraims thoughts rang loud and clear as he talked to me through his thoughts. I only nod a reply as I inform Carlisle that I wished to speak with Sam when he's done.
"Thank you for your time Sam, Edward would like to speak with you so I'm going to hand you off to him now." Carlisle says handing me the phone.
"Ok thank you." Sam replies just as I bring the phone to my ear.
"Hello Sam, Ephraim and I would like to invite you and your pack to join us for a run today. Ephraim has informed me he wishes to pass information to your pack."
"Hello, we would love to." Sam says, seeming surprised at the invitation. "Does he feel up to that?"
"It was his idea, we can meet you at the meadow your pack first caught me in my cat form, see you in two hours?"
"Ok sure, we'll see you both then" He says as he hangs up the phone.
"Guess if we are going for a run soon I should eat something, what do you folks have to eat around here?" Ephraim says as he walks towards the kitchen.
"Oh you know the usual. There's deer…" Emmett said with a goofy grin.
"Mountain lion…" Rose threw in as she picked at something on her clothes.
"Oh, I think I saw a bunny, yesterday!" Alice threw in with a laugh.
"There are also some pancakes in the kitchen, Esme bought you some food." I say, as I join my siblings in there laughter. They always liked to Joke around with Ephraim. I wasn't the only one who will mourn at his funeral.
"Thanks Esme." He yells as we hear him dig into his breakfast.
Two hours later Ephraim and I are sitting on the grass in a meadow, already shifted and waiting for the pack.
Brother, why are you so nervous about meeting up with the pack? Ephraim asks as his muzzle nudges into my side.
They have grown up hating vampires. Ephraim, you've seen it the elders hate us. I don't want to loose Seth so soon. He means so much to me and we haven't even known each other that long. We are barley getting to know each other and I love him Ephraim. I know I do. I had always found it easy to talk to Ephraim. He once joked that our spirits acted as one at times. (It took me forever to figure out what he meant about that).
Don't worry about it Eddie, everything will work out. Was his only reply as we both stood, hearing the approach of the pack as they jogged in our direction.
Sam was in front leading them, but I couldn't contain my smile as I noticed Seth was on his right. He fighting every instinct he had to stay behind Sam, though he badly wanted to run faster towards me.
Hello, I hope we didn't make you wait too long. Sam says as they come to a stop before us, well all except Seth who saw fit to run right into me almost knocking me to the forest floor.
You didn't make us wait too long. Ephraim said stretching.
Ready to run? I ask as I gently give Seth a push.
Yep. My pup yips before we all take off running.
We run at a slow easy pace until Ephraim finally announces his wish to speak with the Alpha and Seth alone, without the pack and me.
I didn't like the idea of leaving them. But I did, telling Seth that I would call him later, promising to hang out again soon.
It was three hours later; I was in my room reading when Alice screamed. She was having a vision, it was dark and blurry but I could tell it was happening now, and I saw one face clearly, Ephraim's.
I didn't wait for anything as I ran, followed quickly by my brothers.
"Alice went to find Carlisle." Jasper tells me as he and Emmett attempt to catch up to me.
They don't get the chance to catch up as I hear a howl in the distance. My mind freezes as I run as fast as I could to the spot where the sound was vibrating from.
I'm only a mile away when through the trees I see a vampire bent over with its teeth bared, as he bites down. He is quickly thrown off of his victim as Ephraim's wolf attacks him, plunging him towards the ground.
-Third Person POV-
Edward didn't arrive in time as Ephraim is tackled to the ground, he was already hurt but he knew that Seth had to be protected. Edward, his friend, his brother couldn't loose his soul mate so soon. The old wolf as brave as he was, soon started loosing his battle with the deranged vampire who was out for more shifter blood. Sam stood only feet away trying to fight off two others who dared come near. It was too late for him when he noticed he was surrounded by the two nomads, who had recently added him to their dinner menu.
EPOV-
Jasper and Emmett only pause for a moment as the three of us cross the border, Jasper and Emmett officially breaking the treaty that for now still held. But I couldn't worry about that as I through the nomad off of Ephraim, taking his head from his body as I do so.
"Ephraim." I say as he turns human.
"Brother, I knew my time was coming. Go to Seth, he needs you now. Goodbye brother I'll be with the spirits, always watching." He coughs his last bit just Ephraim Black takes his last breath. That's when I hear it, a wolves howl ringing through the air, Seth. My thoughts yell at me as I run.
"SETH!" I yell a second before I am kneeling at my pups side as he continues to howl, his thoughts are so mixed up I can't make sense of them. In the distance I barley register as Jasper and Emmett help Sam kill off the other two, Sam falling over in pain only once the enemies are dead. "Seth, please you have to shift. Go human Seth, please." I beg as I attempt to look over the wolves fur covered body.
Slowly he lets the transformation take over him, that's when I noticed the fresh blood falling from a bite.
"Jasper, Emmett, get out of here!" I yell as I started to smell the mouthwatering blood.
We'll send Carlisle. My brother says as they leave. Though I'm unsure who it was as I stare at Seth's withering from before me.
"It hurts. Please, Edward. I, please I don't want..." Seth struggled for words as I cover him with my unneeded coat. "Edward, please help me, I'm not ready for this, I'm only 14. Please." I take a deep unneeded breath as I steady myself for something I knew I had to do but wasn't sure if I could do it.
"Seth, you need to stay still. I'll make it stop." I find myself saying as my mouth hovers over the open wound left by the nomad.
His blood tasted better than anything I've ever imagined, even mixed with the venom I was slowly sucking from his body and then it was gone and I was watching Seth's wound heal, his body finally being consumed by darkness as he looses consciousness, his breathing evening out as he sleeps.
"Edward is he ok?" Sam's strained voice asks as I turn from my sleeping pup.
"He will be. Carlisle's coming; I don't think you should move." I say just as he sees my blood red eyes.
AN: I hope you liked it. Never did an action part, its difficult. Please let me know what you thought. I hope none of you hate me. Though I did say Ephraim would be dying...
