Luna POV

I sat on the ledge of the La Push cliffs, staring out across the icy waters. I wondered if it would be cold if i jumped into the ocean. At least if it was cold, the heat from Aleera would keep me warm. A growl rippled loudly, both in my mind and aloud.

Yeah, Aleera was not happy with me.

She thought i was being childish about what i'd learned reading the Hidden. She thinks that i should just man up and step up to the plate, especially because Isabel wasn't ready for this. You know, i was starting to get the feeling she knew all along why we were so abnormal. She snorted aloud, and in my mind, disagreeing with me. No, she knew we were different, but not what exactly.

Well you should've known, your the spirit aren't you? I thought rolling my eyes. Sometimes it was weird, sharing a form with her. It was one thing to feel her prescence within me all the time, that was always comforting, like a limb that i just can't life without, like a head. Other times when we jostled for control of the wolf form, she won, especially we got in fights, well it wasn't winning so much, as i let her take over as much as she could without accidently sending us back to human form.

She growled at my question, not liking my tone i guess. I sighed, laying down and resting my head on my paws. I did not like this.

Even if it is my job to protect Isabel, which it has always been, how would starting a war protect any of us? Aleera made a sort of purring sound and i grinned a little. Protecting that girl would be like trying to bring the dead back to life. Impossible, or at least highly probable. The girl was just a magnet for trouble.

But then if we did just accept what we were, that meant power right? With more power, the more i could take care of her, make everyone safe, but above all, her and Paul. And how the hell was i able to imprint? You know, that kind of just contradicts everything. I'm born to protect Isabel, but then i go and imprint and now i'm not sure who i'm suppose to protect more. This whole damn thing was royally fucked up.

I heard movement behind me and then Paul's scent overwhelmed me as he came to stand over me. I glanced up, staying exactly as i was and Paul did the shape shifter equivalent of raising his eyebrows at me. I felt like a pup beneath him, he was three times my size, and the boy got bigger everyday.

He made a whining sound and then nuzzled me and laid down on top of me. i let out a back of surprise, and he laughed at me when i tried to wiggle out from under him. But i was stuck, and that just made him laugh harder.

I gave up and just laid feeling as though i was doing the worst imitation of a pancake. I whined a little and he stood up, nudging my stomach and then tilted his head at me. i rolled my eyes, but stood up anyways.

We were running through the woods when both of us caught onto a weird sort of human smell, but it was unusual, kind of like mints or something. I frowned and then veered off in the general direction of Forks. Paul fanned out a bit but we stayed within seeing range.

We came across a small almost unseen road and at the bend of the small road sat a single vehicle. It was a military truck. Three of them, but i sensed more then that even. I sniffed the truck unsure and then heard someone talking. I ducked, wondering what the hell military was doing here. And why were they hiding?

I watched a man dressed in the usual classic soldier attire walk by, not even glancing or sensing me. As he continued walking by i noticed something else. A huge metal box, the ones that you see on transports. I heard someone swear in that direction and suddenly began to wonder who was in there. A large bang sounded from inside of it, but it didn't even look like it dented.

I made my way towards cautiously, and as i inhaled i got two vampires scents, no three, they were light too, barely noticeable unless you strained to pick up on them. I looked around, where did Paul go?

I inhaled more deeply as i got closer, and then frowned as i barely recognized the scents. There were Cullen's in there, Edward, Alice and Rosalie by the looks of it. Someone else, someone from the La Push pack, but i didn't recognize them at all.

I heard a loud growl somewhere and i looked around cautiously. I heard a low whine now, and a lot of movement south so i turned and went that way.

A few dozen soldiers were standing around Seth, who looked terrified and confused. Have of them shot at them, but they weren't using guns. They were tranquilizer guns. He went down almost instantly, and as he did, several of them lifted him up and moved into a glass box. They sealed it and then lifted him into a small go cart looking thing. Where were they taking him? Why?

I heard another loud roar, only to see Paul come running out of the bushes and straight at them. I panicked, and was about to run out at the same time, but it wouldn't make a difference. If we both got hit with that gun, than we'd both be useless. Who would tell the others?

They shot at him, but was a huge wolf compared to Seth, older too. It took twice as many to put him down and he managed to kill two of the soldiers before he actually hit the ground unconscious. The kids got heart, but we needed smarts right now.

I turned to run, only to come face-to-face with about six soldiers having snuck up on me. I stared at them curiously, trying not seem threatening. "This isn't like the others, orders?" one man said, all of them keeping there weapons trained on me.

I looked to both my left and right, but more of them were closing in on me. I could really use my hands right now. But what if they saw who i was? I could hear several behind me as well. I took a deep breath and then willed my body back to it's human form.

All of them gasped and stared as i stood up totally naked. That was a little embarassing, "take her too," one man said smirking.

"I dont fucking think so," i said and then shifted my center of gravity and then jumped up into the air and up into the trees. Only two darts hit me, i pulled them out and whipped them back at them, hitting one in the throat and another in the eye. I pulled my body up another branch as they continued firing, but the branches were thick and leafy, it was a pretty good cover.

I ran away from the center of the tree and straight off a branch. I caught another one and kept moving that way. I got cut on a lot of trees but i was trying to get at the cart that had Paul and Seth.

They weren't as fast as me, and i watched one guy trip on a tree, falling into someone else. I burst out laughing as they tumbled and even the rest of them found that a little amusing. I kept moving though and when i got to the cart i flew straight onto the top of it. I pulled the man from the passenger side out, and hit him twice, breaking his nose and shoving him onto the ground. A gun shot went off, throught the roof and right in between two of my fingers.

I slipped in through the passenger side and then kicked him out hard. Then i was driving.

"Seth, wake up!" i said slamming my arm against his case. He made a weird moaning sound and i sped up a tad and then slammed on the brakes, sending both of the cases straight into the back of my seat. They jostled and then Seth jumped up, smashing his head on the top of his cage. Paul didn't even stir, but i hadn't expected him too.

He whined at me, and pawed at the glass. But he couldn't break through, it hadn't occurred to me that the glass should've broken when he hit his head on the roof of it.

"Dont worry, were going to get out of here," i promised. I pushed off and straight into the woods, i looked around for the keys, i had a very bad idea, but it was the only idea i had. I just hoped they wouldn't follow.

I noticed a small set on the ground and groaned as i realized that there were half a dozen keys on them and any of them could've been the one for the cages. "Seth, I'm getting you out first, alright?" he nodded vigorously. "I want you to stay out of sight and warn everyone! I dont know who these people are, but they certainly know what there doing, be careful, okay?"

He nodded again and then he made a loud yipping sound as the cart flew off of the cliffs and straight into the water.

I glanced backwards, seeing six of the strange men standing on the edge watching us plummet.

I crawled out and onto the roof and then pushed off. The cart hit the water and i dove in beside it and straight at the cages.

I went through four of the keys before i was finally able to get Seth out. By then we had hit the very bottom of the ocean. It was really freaking cold down here. He got out and i pointed away from the cliffs and on an angle, and then tried to show him to get out of the water at the river. I must've looked ridiculous doing this, but he nodded, at least he understood what i was getting at. Then he was gone.

I moved to Paul's cage, and began testing the keys out when the same one for Seth's didn't work. I wrapped my arms around him, pulling upwards and then pushed as hard as i could. I was starting to feel light headed.

I gasped loudly as i broke through the surface and then pulled him towards the shoreline. I set him down, and began to perform CPR when i couldn't get him to breathe or wake up. "Paul, we need to get out of here, come on, wake up, please," i said, and he began coughing, water spilling out of his lungs and onto the sand. But he just passed out a moment later.

I looked around, finding nothing but guns and soldiers. "What, no more tranquilizers?" i said coldly, "and i was only just starting to have some fun."

"Dangerous little girl aren't you?" one man said smirking triumphantly.

"You have no idea," i hissed furiously. "First chance i get, i'm going to rip your throat out," i vowed.

"Where your going, you'll be so chained up, that the next time you see me, i'll be there to put a bullet in you," he said grinning excitedly.

"Whatever gets you through the night," i said icily.

"Take her down."

Isabel POV

We'd finished breakfast and everything else when the entire pack crashing through our doors. Seth looked completely freaked out and nauseous. "They shot at us! They took Luna and Paul!" Seth blurted out.

"What? Who did?" i asked standing and looking at Sam for answers.

"A group of military soldiers were combing through the woods, i think they were looking for the wolves specifically, but Seth says that he smelt some of the Cullen's close by," he said wearily.

"They shot at us with dart guns! Luna showed up and hijacked the go cart thing and then drove off a cliff. I think they still have her and Paul, he was still out cold when she got me out," he said shifting uncomfortably.

I stood, and grabbed the phone, dialling the Cullen's. "Hello?" Carlisle's voice greeted me.

"Where is Edward?" i asked in a rush.

"Hunting, with Alice and Rosalie, are you coming by?"

I felt my heart stutter and a pain in my chest, "a group of soldiers have taken Luna and Paul, they were in the woods at the time. Seth says that he picked up on some of your scents."

"Are you sure Bella? Human soldiers dont have the technology strong enough to hold us," he said uneasily.

"They do now," i said gut twisting.

"I will look into it, in the meantime you should stay out of the woods."

"I know."

"Have you heard anything on the Council? They started a movement against your Pack," he warned.

"With Luna kidnapped by the army for God only knows what, it's safe to say we have bigger problems then that right now."
