Chapter 12

The well built blonde took a couple steps forward but then turned his back to us. I eyed him, taking in his features. He looked like he belonged in a Hollywood movie, fighting off some bad guys and saving the girl. "Carlisle's right." He spoke to the Cullens. I didn't mind that much that he was ignoring us, we were there to just watch anyways. "They'll fight like children. The two most important things you'll need to remember are, first, don't let them get their arms around you and, second, don't go for the obvious kill. That's all they'll be prepared for. As long as you come at them from the side and keep moving, they'll be too confused to respond effectively. Emmett?" The pack and I made mental notes at his two points as the buff dark haired leech stepped forward.

"Emmett' looked more like a bear than a vampire. He was humongous, he had wide muscular shoulders and was extremely tall. If I were human I'd be intimidated by him, but I wasn't human. The other's thoughts were nearly identical. The bear had a huge grin on his face as he approached Hollywood.

"Okay, Emmett first. Emmett's the best example of a newborn attack."

The bear narrowed his eyes at that statement. "I'll try not to break anything."

Hollywood grinned. "What I meant is that Emmett relies on his strength. He's very straightforward about the attack. The newborns won't be trying anything subtle, either. Just go for the easy kill, Emmett." Hollywood took a few steps back preparing, the pack watched the demonstration intently.

"Ok Emmett, try to catch me." The bear charged him snarling. My body tensed and I had to fight the urge to jump at them. [i]Stay.[/i] Sam's alpha voice commanded. A couple of the others were also having problems. Hollywood danced around the bear quickly, I suspected if I had a human's eyes I might not have been able to see all this. I took a glance at Bella, she was standing behind the mind-reader, wide-eyed. The mind-reader was leaning towards the fight, as if he would jump in at any second.

I turned my eyes back to the fight. The bear was taking swings but only grasping thin air. Hollywood got behind him and grabbed him, putting his teeth an inch away from the bear's throat. The bear cursed.

That helped a lot. A couple of us muttered in appreciation. I had learned so much from just watching this one fight.

The bear was noticeably upset. "Again." He urged.

"It's my turn." The mind-reader whined.

"In a minute." Hollywood smiled, taking a step towards the Cullens. "I want to show Bella something first."

Bella? Why did he want to show Bella something? She wasn't fighting with us. The rest of the packs thoughts were also annoyed but Sam warned us to stay silent. "I know you worry about her." He continued as the psychic stepped forward. "I want to show you why that's not necessary."

Hollywood leaped at the psychic but she dodged every movement a step ahead. She was good. The others thoughts echoed mine as we watched the well skilled fighters charge each other. The psychic jumped on Hollywood's back pressing her lips to his neck.

"Gotcha," she smiled, kissing his throat. I quickly closed my eyes and looked away."You are truly are one frightening little monster." Hollywood laughed.

We couldn't help but let out a mutter of our wariness. Each of the Cullens took turns dueling with Hollywood. I imagined myself in the fight, thinking of what I would do each time one lunged at the other.

After practicing with each of them and the bear twice Hollywood turned and spoke to us. "We'll be doing this tomorrow. Please feel welcome to observe again."

Yes, we'll be here. Sam thought, the mind-reader repeated his thoughts. It would be good for each of us to become acquainted with your scents, we don't want any mistakes to happen. But please hold still, some of our newborns are nervous.

I shot an angry glare at Sam but he ignored me. The mind-reader repeated this. "Certainly, whatever you need." The doctor replied cheerfully with his faint accent.

I couldn't help but be annoyed. I walked timidly in my position near the back of the pack. Seth was beside me, his thoughts were worried. Sam sniffed the doctor, I felt the pain that shot through his nose and flinched. Sam continued through the line, sniffing each of the leeches. Seth whimpered when he was caught between the doctor and Hollywood I stiffened in defense preparing to jump. Jeez cool it Seth. Quil laughed.

I took my turns letting the smells burn my nose. I stored each scent, registering it with my brain. Jacob what the heck are you doing? Embry hissed.

I turned my eyes to the front where Jacob stood in the second's position. He had his mouth open in a stupid looking wolf grin. He was staring at the leech lover who was giggling. He started walking towards her. Jacob get back in line. Sam thought, but it wasn't really an order.

Don't be an idiot Jacob. I thought, eyeing the mind-reader. He stood tense, staring at Bella. Jacob ignored all of us. He lowered himself and Bella began to run her hands through his fur. Jacob's thoughts were aggravating and nauseous to listen too. Joy radiated off him as she stepped closer to him and stroked his neck. Jake took this opportunity to lick Bella's face, and when I mean face I mean her entire face! We all stopped, staring at Jacob in shock. Bella jumped, waving a hand at Jacob and yelling her protest.

I took my eyes off the happy couple for a second and looked at the coven. They stared at Bella with wide eyes and disgust. But worst of all was the mind-reader. He looked almost hurt.

I think I know how he felt.

All of us turned to go except for the love struck puppy and his henchmen Quil and Embry. We eyed the Cullen's warily as we retreated but once we were out of site we started a gallop. The movement felt good in my stiff limbs. The sun was beginning to peek from over the horizon lighting up the forest. Jacob was having a conversation with the mind-reader but I tuned him out. I pushed all of their thoughts from that night, from worried to annoyance, from my head and sprinted ahead of the rest of them. I didn't look back as I ran faster darting between the trees and into the depths of the forest.
