"Hey, Meghan, I'm going hunting, you wanna come?" Max asked as Alice and I walked back into the room.
"Yes please." I was so thirsty. He laughed. We left, and ran into the forest, well, I did. Max started to go toward the city.
"Max! What are you doing?"
"Don't vampires eat humans?"
"We don't have to. I'm not gonna go kill innocent humans." I said, and turned back to the forest. He caught up.
"Fine." I laughed. His emotions were filled with awe.
"Hey Max, can try something on you?"
"Sure."
"Okay, look at the tree." He did. I sent a wave of lust at him. He gasped. I kept it up, making it stronger and stronger. I looked at me, obviously reading my thoughts.
"Stop it!" He yelled. I stopped and sent a wave of repulsion and he snapped out of it. He turned and glared at me. I started laughing.
"Shut up!!!" He stomped away. We both froze when we heard something following us. We backed up (back-to-back) and circled, trying to find the source. I have to admit that it was nice to have a sixth sense and Max with me. I felt someone, clearly not Max, giving off hostility. Max stiffened, reading their thoughts. Who ever it is, they're hostile. I think we should run. I thought towards. His climate changed to agreement. Three, two, GO! I thought, and we both ran into the forest. I could feel more climates, and there were more and more. Max hissed, and started running faster. What is it!? I thought frantically.
"There's too many! We need help!" He spat.
Turn and run back toward the house, and try to get Edward! I thought, he nodded once, and we turned at the exact same moment and broke into dead sprints. I once I knew we were close I sent off extremely strong waves of desperation.
"They're coming!" Max said. I could feel Jasper sending off relief waves. I started running faster, Max following me now. We broke through the tree line and saw the house. Emmett and Jasper were in front, Edward, Carlisle and the russet one were covering their flanks and the girls were in the very back. Max and I stopped. I looked at Max, who was looking at Edward, who was repeating everything to everyone else. I looked at Jasper and, in time with what Edward was saying, giving him the emotions, then he gave them to Edward. Max grabbed my hand and I flinched, but quickly recovered and calmed us both down a little, he dragged me behind everyone. I tightened my grip when I felt those other…things coming. Jasper rushed back and grabbed us. We looked at him.
"You two are the strongest." He said simply. I nodded and walked forward, dragging Max.
"Esme." Max answered my thought. I nodded. I looked at Bella, Nessie, Alice, Rosalie and Esme, wondering if they were gonna be okay. Edward and the russet one "Jacob." Max said again.
"Thank you." I muttered. Edward and Jacob moved those two inside and Alice, Rosalie and Esme followed. Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, Max and I stayed, watching the tree line, using every extra-sense we could. Max stiffened. We all shifted, pretty naturally, into crouches. Max looked back at the house, were I saw a wolf.
"It's just Jacob." Emmett said. Three wolves came out of the forest, and walked over to Jasper and Emmett. They both pointed to the house. I looked at Jasper, questioning.
"Jacob's friends." He said.
"Oh, okay." We all looked at the forest. Max growled softly, and I heard Edward growl as well. Jasper and I looked at each other, feeling the intense hostility rolling out from the forest. Two people, no, vampires, immerged, in the same crouches that we were. They came up short when they saw that they hadn't come undetected.
"Who are you!?" A red head boy, who looked about twenty, asked.
"I could ask you the same thing." Emmett replied.
"This is our territory." He growled. Max hissed.
"Hate to disagree, but no it's not." Jasper said.
"Lies!" He hissed. His mate, a petite blonde growled. Jasper and I automatically sent out calm waves. They stayed tense. Jasper and I looked at each other, shock coloring our emotions. Max moved to stand kinda in front of me, just like the red head was in front of the blonde. I pressed my hand to his back and thought Max… He shifted, but stayed in front of me. I sighed. Jasper looked at me. I pushed Max out of the way slightly and stood next to Jasper. He looked at me and nodded once. We both sent out a lot of confusion toward them. Max! Start telling them how they accidentally made it to the other side of the coast! He nodded.
"Oh, you guys, I'm sorry. But your old house is on the other side of the states! You live in Hoboken, New Jersey." He said, and I sent a wave of gullibility. Jasper kept up the confusion. They nodded.
"Really?" The red head asked.
"Yes." Max soothed. Jasper and I sent stronger waves. They backed up and left. I looked at Max. He straightened and smiled at me. I grinned back. Emmett laughed.
"Dude, that was awesome!" He said. Jasper smiled and Max hugged me and I smiled. We all walked inside. Everyone had relaxed. Emmett ran to the TV and turned on the Seahawks game. It felt…normal.
