:: Highway Run-in and Realizations ::
We were speeding down the highway at about 180 mph. I felt a nostalgic feeling when I saw the sign that said: "Welcome to La Push!"
"Bella!" I heard Layla scream and I slammed on the breaks and skidded to a halt with Layla skidded to a halt next to me. Before I even saw what Layla meant to bring to my attention I smelt it: The strong, musky smell of the woods filled my nose. I looked up to see six rather large people sitting on parked motorcycles in the middle of the highway. Even through my helmet I could see them glaring at us.
Surprisingly their scent wasn't as revolting as I imagined it to be. "The werewolf pack. It's been so long." I thought to myself. I looked at Layla and she nodded. "We shouldn't be here yet." She said to me.
"Got that right blood-sucker!" The largest of the six yelled. We visible cringed at the thought. Their thoughts were that of confusion. Apparently we smelled like vampires but they didn't find our scent revolting.
"Must be one of the affects, strange…" Layla said, reaching up to twirl her finger through her hair but stopped, realizing that it was securely tucked under her helmet.
"What do you mean by that?" The same werewolf that addressed us earlier demanded. When we didn't answer he got really mad. "Fine then we'll beat the answers out of you!"
"Touchy." Layla said smirking. She hated being threatened even if it was for a good reason. She eyed the moon. "You will not pass the treaty line until I say otherwise."
Now the werewolf with anger issues was pissed. "Nice job. Make the mutt angry while we're trying to make peace." I thought to her. "What? It's not my fault if the dude has anger issues? Besides, if you're calling him a mutt you find him just as annoying! Besides he's getting in way over his head. Aren't cha pup?"
Hearing this he roared in anger and started his bike. "I'm the alpha of this pack so I'm calling the shots." With that he turned to the others, "Don't let them pass!" With that he brought his bike to life. Hesitantly, the others followed in suit.
"Stay behind me. They're planning on blocking to road so we'll just have to go over their heads." She smirked and brought her bike to life. Understanding what she was doing I started my bike as well.
Suddenly, she reared up in a wheelie and started riding full speed towards the pack which was about 50 feet away. The six were obviously shocked, and were about to move when the wolf in front yelled "Don't move and let them pass!"
It took us all of 10 seconds to close the gap between us and the pack. When we were about 5 ft away from them, a beam of silvery white light appeared at an angle moving over the heads of the pack in an arch.
To the werewolves' surprise, we rode over their heads on the beam of light.
As soon as my back wheels were off the beam, it disappeared. I looked back over my shoulder to see the werewolves' stunned faces and I laughed. "Try and catch up pups! I need a rush!" Layla yelled back over her shoulder.
As soon as the words were out of her mouth the pack was trying to catch up to us, and failing miserably. "Kyle, we're almost to the treaty line." I heard one if the others yell over the roar of the engines.
"So?" the alpha, Kyle, roared back. "Well the chick said to stop… And I have a bad feeling about trying to go over that line, more than usual. I don't think they're normal vampires!" The other yelled back, fear tinting his voice. Kyle's thoughts were so mad it was just a tad hilarious.
"Wait 'til I get my hands on those fucking bastards. First, the blood-sucking bitchs…I will just get them myself!" His thoughts flooded my mind and made me want to turn around and jump the mutt!
"Fine then, pull back! But I'm not stopping!" We neared the treaty line. We passed the treaty line with the werewolves about 50 ft behind us. All of a sudden, Layla screeched to a stop along with the other 5 members of the pack besides Kyle. I stopped a few feet behind Layla.
It all happened so fast that I could have only caught it with my enhanced vision.
The second Kyle tried to pass through the treaty line, his body was stopped by an invisible force-field while his bike continued going. He was going so fast when he was flown off that the bike kept on its course, headed straight for Layla. All of a sudden, the bike was stopped by beams of light tangling themselves around it like vines then crushing it into smithereens.
Kyle stared dumbstruck at the scattered remains of his bike. Then he turned his gaze at Layla who was walking towards him. He tried to stand, but fell in pain grasping his leg. Layla suddenly kneeling beside him "Don't move. I know you heal fast but your leg is fractured in many places and you are going to have to walk home since I destroyed your bike." She smiled at him put her hands over his leg and it was suddenly surrounded in silver light.
"Sorry about that but you needed to learn a lesson. You put your pack in obvious danger just because you were provoked. You said you were the alpha, so your job is to make sure your pack is as safe as it can be even at the cost of your life as well as listening to their opinions." Kyle wilted as he realized a vampire was teaching him how to be a good leader, albeit a very special vampire… What is this feeling? He thought. As Layla continued, he snapped out of his reverie.
"He was right you know." Layla continued.
Kyle gave her a questioning look. "About what?" he asked. The anger was gone from his voice and replaced with something different.
"He is never that calm!"
"What the hell? He's never spoken to anyone like that before!"
"What did she do to him?"
"Has he…? No… impossible! She's a vampire for crying out loud! But…."
"Dude, his dad is gonna flip!"
The thoughts of the pack swarmed my mind.
"About my sister and me," Layla continued "We aren't normal vampires. Besides even if we were, why would you hate me? We're not all that bad, are we?" She said a hint of sadness in her voice.
"What do you mean by not normal? And I don't know if you're all that bad or not…I guess I haven't really gotten to know one before. Not that I want to! We're mortal enemies!" He answered back; his eyes dropping to stare at his feet.
"By choice." Layla said after a moment.
"What do you mean?" Kyle asked back puzzled.
The light around Kyle's leg disappeared, but he just stayed there, waiting for an answer. "Vampires and werewolves are mortal enemies by choice, not because we have to be. It's all because of some feud over thousands of years ago. We don't have to be enemies just because of our species! One vampire, that's all it took to start this stupid feud. One! Not all vampires are bad. In fact...well you'll learn soon enough." She said helping him up.
She stepped back over the treaty line. "On the night of the full moon the entire pack will go down to First Beach. Prepare a bonfire and have fun. We will be there shortly after 10:00. Do you understand?" All the pack could do was nod in response.
Layla got back on her bike and started it, and glanced at me. I nodded. She turned around one more time looking at Kyle "Take care of yourself, pup. I'm afraid we must leave now, but I want you to think about what I said but it is your choice whether or not you want to."
Kyle just stared at her trying to find her eyes through the black lens of her helmet. He put his head down and whimpered a bit when he failed to find them.
With that we turned and left. I could feel his eyes on Layla and I read his thoughts. The only thing that was on his mind was the image of Layla. All he could think was: "Mine."
I couldn't help but think that he looked like someone I knew. The deep husky voice, the bitterness, the warm brown eyes, yet sadness I had only seen once. Eh…Someone from my past… but WHO? Layla looked over at me and mouthed, "Jacob." Jacob, wait. JACOB. My best friend. My werewolf friend… That… Kyle couldn't be…. So Jacob finally moved on….. He must have imprinted. I….thank the lord! I felt as a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt like screaming for joy at the thought of being able to be with him without him picturing my doing something dirty!
Layla laughed at my thoughts "Let it out, Bella, JUST LET IT OUT!"
I suddenly found myself screaming for joy! I was finally free of Jacob and now I could focus on gaining back my friend.
KPOV
I wanted to see her again, she was so beautiful. I couldn't even tell what she looked like because of the stupid helmet, but that didn't matter. I knew she was beautiful.
I was trying to catch a glimpse of her from the direction she went but I could no longer see her. All I heard was a scream of joy that I knew wasn't from her so I dropped it. I tried to follow but I bumped into something I couldn't see. I stuck my arm in front of me and it hit a solid wall of clear energy.
"Car's coming." I heard Drew yell. I was still trying to figure it out as we headed to the side of the road.
"Dude, what was that all about? What did you think they wanted?" Oliver asked a hint of fear in his voice.
Wait "they"? Then I remembered the other vampire. Fear struck through me. What if that was her mate? No, no, NO! Mine!
"I don't know Oli, but those sisters were hot! Did you see their bodies? I think I'm gonna have a nosebleed. I couldn't even see their face but I think that's a good thing. They might be ugly." Sampson piped in.
I felt relieved remembering that they were sister but then I got mad, I repeat, mad! How dare he even think of her being ugly! How dare he think of her as anything but beautiful! I let out a growl at Sampson.
"What did I do?" He asked. How dare he not know what he did! I let out another growl.
Just then the car passed by us and headed in the same direction of which the girls had just gone. Now I was mad! How come the car could go through and I couldn't? Why couldn't I see her? Hold her in my arms and make sure Sampson didn't say anything insulting about her? Why!?!?!?!
Suddenly I couldn't control my temper. I was shaking like mad! "Don't follow me! I need to think by myself. Go to my dad's house and wait for me there. Explain to him what happened and tell what we need to do about the night of the full moon. I don't think we have a choice." Another car passed though the treaty line and I lost it.
I phased right there and ran off into the woods. Why couldn't I stop thinking about her? Why did I have the strange need to hold her close to me and protect her? Suddenly it all made sense! I had imprinted! On a vampire! I didn't think that was possible. She smelled so good though! Like a combination of lilies and vanilla. It was so sweet and addicting! I thought my dad said vampires smelled so sweet that it hurt? What would my dad think? For some reason it didn't matter to me. I didn't even know her name or what she looked like but….I could honestly say that I was in love with her. No one, not even my dad, was going to change that. Her voice… It sounded like that of a goddess. She probably would never take a second look at me. But maybe, just maybe… If she would kiss me, maybe we could find out… Stop deluding yourself, Kyle. She will never take an interest in you. Soon she will probably be hooked up with a vampire guy…
I looked up to wear my legs had taken my. I could tell that I had been running for about 30 minutes and I had gone deep into the forest. I knew that Oliver, Sampson, Drew and the others would have explained everything to my dad and he would be steaming.
I ran to my dads house were I saw my friends bikes in the drive. I walked in the door to see all the people who knew that werewolves existed were stuffed into my dad's living room.
I looked over all the faces staring at me. There were the Ateara's: Collin, one of my best friends and pack member, his mom and Quil, a member of the last generation. The Call's: Drew, also my friend and pack member, and his dad Embry. His mom had died in a car wreck when he was 2. It was a huge toll on the pack because she was Emily's cousin Claire. Then there were the Clearwater's. They had had two members in the last pack; Seth & Leah. Seth had married and he and Lucy, his wife, had my friend and only girl in the pack: Sarah. Leah's situation was different; she had imprinted on this guy but then she got pregnant and he had left. She was Sampson's mom.
Then there were the Uley's: the family consists of best Oliver and then his dad Sam and mom Emily. I heard that Sam was the first one to change in the last pack.
Sitting beside Sam were my parents; Jacob and Samantha Black. My dad hated vampires, especially the ones who lived in Forks: the Cullen's. He had told me the story of how he had fallen in love with his best friend but she had fallen in love with Edward Cullen but he had left her and how she had seemed dead. He told me how she had gone to Europe one summer and how she never came back.
All of the people who were in the last pack, besides Emily, were all over 60 years old but all looked under 30. They had all never aged because they still phased into there werewolf form. They had all had to because of the newborn vampire war. The war was said to be between a bunch of newborn vampires and the werewolves because the vampires were looking for Bella, the girl my father had fallen in love with all those years ago.
Apparently they had gone to her house looking for her for reasons unknown to us, but this was after she disappeared and they ended up killing her father. After that it had been a brutal war but every one had gotten out alive, if some just barely. However this caused them to be always on alert because they didn't get the vampire behind the attacks.
Of the current pack only Oliver looked his age; he was 34. The rest of us were between 17 and 20 because it had taken our parents that long to imprint or they had to wait for the person they imprinted on to grow up. I was currently 18.
My thoughts about our families were interrupted by my father clearing his throat. "What do we plan to do?"
"About what?" I asked trying to act ignorant.
"About the bloodsuckers, obviously, we need to either plan an ambush or listen to them. For some reason I don't think we have an option but to listen to them. Filthy blood-suckers!" My dad answered back, shaking with anger. Mom tried to soothe him, but I ruined it with what I couldn't stop coming out of my mouth.
"Don't call her that!" I yelled at my dad. Everyone looked at me in complete shock. "I mean well….um…I feel that we owe them more respect. After all one of them healed me after I was knocked off my bike." I managed to get out.
My dad didn't buy it. "I understand that you feel loyalty to them for healing you but they're our mortal enemies. They're probably here to see the Cullen's. What I don't understand is why they asked to meat our pack on the night of the full moon. What are they planning?"
"I don't think they're with the Cullen's dad, and besides you need to get over your grudge against the Cullen's. I think that this whole feud is silly and it needs to end so we don't have to hate each other anymore, besides the feud is over something that happened hundreds of years ago." I said without thinking.
Everyone looked at me shocked. "That's what the vampire who healed you said." Sarah said, looking at me with wide eyes "She must have really gotten to you."
My dad looked like he was going to blow a gasket. Before he could say anything, I decided to speak, "They were powerful words and they help so much truth behind them. We need to go to First Beach Sunday with compromising spirits. I think they want to propose something important that could change the way we get along with the Cullen's and I'm open to that."
Everyone again looked shocked at my words but they all nodded in agreement but I knew that my dad would probably have a long talk with me about how you can't change the past.
He did, but we had had the conversation so many times that all I could think about was the girl; the one girl that had ever gotten my attention. I remembered her strong words and I looked forward to seeing what she would say when my dad tried to lecture her about the past. For some reason I knew that it was a touchy subject for her.
BPOV
We spent the six days getting things in order. We bought a big plot of land in the woods and built a house, actually a mansion, on it. We enrolled in Forks High and we got all our stuff in from Volterra. Layla was in hysterics when it took 23 boxes to hold my CD collection.
We also went shopping for new clothes and furniture. I hated shopping but going with Layla was OK because she hated it more than me! We went in, got clothes that we likes and got out. It was fun because ever though we didn't stay long in each store we still got the "full shopping experience" as Alice once put it. We like to mock clothes that looked trashy and we also occasionally tried things on. At least Aro doesn't mind how much we spend, we might have maxed out a few credit cards…
After we had gotten all our furniture and clothes and organized our house looked liked we were billionaires, which in reality we were. The Volturi had been saving up for over 3000 years.
Our house had 3 floors. The bottom one was the sitting room, the kitchen, the dining room and a front parlor. The second floor had few guest rooms, a game room, a home theater and our own personal library. The top floor, however, had only two rooms: mine and Layla's. Each of our rooms took up half of the 3rd floor.
My room had blue walls in a pattern witch made it look like you were underwater. In my room, I had a computer which was sitting on a glass desk next to my window. A walk-in closet with all the clothes I had bought and finally; my CD collection. It took up the entire length of the room. After I had left I started collecting music of all genre's and sub-genre's. The last time I counted I had over 5,000 CD's. With the CD collection came my giant stereo system. In the middle of my room was my bed. It was king-sized with a flower pattern set in blue steal. My comforter was a metallic blue that just added to the water effect. I liked to have it because it reminded me of Edward. I miss him so much. What if Layla was wrong? He might have left me because he hated me! I could feel the hole opening up. Stop Bella. You know what Layla said is true. In, out. I started looking around again.
My room also had a walk-in blue marble bathroom with a mini-pool sized tub. Also a shower that had heads sticking out of every wall of the shower. The water soothing me from every which way soothed me.
After I finished putting the finishing touches on my CD collection, I decided to go see how Layla was doing on her room. I knocked and she told me to come in.
If I had to breathe, I would've been breathless. I thought I was walking on the stars. The walls and floor where a deep midnight black with silver specks that looked like stars on them. The room itself was round. In one corner she had a shelf full of her favorite books, CDs and pictures from Volterra. She also had a black computer on a curved table that fit like a puzzle piece against the wall. Her bed was also round with silver sheets which was placed in the center of the room. She also had a silver stereo system in the corner. For a second I thought her ceiling was the same as the walls and floor but when I looked again I realized that she had a glass ceiling. I also saw the almost full moon and the stars through the ceiling.
There were two doors in the room which lead to her closet and her bathroom which matched almost identically to her room in pattern. It was black marble with silver specs. It was round and it had a round mini-pool sized bathtub that had walls that could rise up and turn it into a shower.
She was sitting on her bed and chuckled at my reaction. "Don't worry; I can close the roof so when the suns out it won't look like we have a disco ball in our house!"
I was relieved. "So tomorrow is the day we go to La Push and set everything straight, how do you think people will react to the…."
"I think it'll be fine. Besides it's not like they could prove anything." She sighed. "You plan to go to your meadow today?"
"Yes. I thought it would be the best place to go. I need to think and compose myself before I see Jacob again. Even if he has moved on he can be really stubborn and I want my friend beck" I replied. "Besides it's going to be sunny today."
"I need to think too. It's about that werewolf. I was so intent on what he was saying that I even forgot to read his past. I've never felt that way before. He looked so sad and I just wanted to hold him and tell him it would all be OK and save him from whatever was haunting his mind." She said, twirling her hair.
"Sounds like you're in lo-ove." I teased but she looked up at me like I was the most brilliant person in the world.
"I need to think." She said.
I walked out of the room and went into mine. I grabbed some jeans and a blue T-shirt and changed into them then headed out to the woods.
It only took a mere 3 minutes to get to the meadow and before I knew it, I was remembering all the good times I had here with Edward. The first time I told him I loved him, and kissed him. I really couldn't wait to be able to do those things once again.
Before I knew it, it was 5:00 in the afternoon; I reluctantly got up and headed home. When I got home I headed straight for my room and took a long relaxing shower just to get my mind off what I was about to do. Oh it is nothing! No problem, I only have to tell werewolves, our "mortal enemy," a few life changing, heart-stopping secrets no one other than the Volturi knew! I could hear Layla chuckle from the other room.
I let the warm water wash over my cold skin and relax me...
"Could you go ANY slower Bella? Just because we have unlimited hot water doesn't mean you can spend three whole hours in the shower!"
Oops.
"Damn straight! We still have to do make-up! And clothes and hair!"
"Who knew darling tomboy Layla could be such a fashionista? Trying to impress someone?"
How did she know that? I am not that obvious…
"Well, I wasn't sure until just now! Genius, Layla, pure genius."
I got out of the shower and changed into some nice blue jeans and an ocean print top, and then I put on my ceremonial necklace that had the symbol of the ocean on it. I proceeded to do my make-up, and then have time to 'dream' about Edward.
"Hurry up slowpoke! You can't be THAT slow Bella! Or have you been dreaming about Edward! We are going to be late!"
I deliberately strolled to the garage to see Layla also in blue jeans but in a star colored top with a silver pattern on it that reminded me of the moon.
"Finally!' Layla obviously couldn't be happier to finally be going toward Kyle. I think she had sorted out her feelings. She had a silly grin on her face, and her thoughts couldn't stay away from him.
Before we put on our helmets her face changed from happy to sad. "Bella, what if he just wants to use me? What if he wants to hurt me? I know it won't physically hurt but I don't think I could take it if he tried to hurt me…"
"Layla, I have a good feeling that he wont hurt you. All he could think when we were driving away was: Mine!" I made my voice sound all robotic when I said it.
She smiled at me receiving the memory. "We're as ready as we'll ever be."
We put on our helmets. We tucked our hair and put on out dark lenses so they wouldn't see our features until we wanted them to. Then we set out on our bikes. It was time to end this war once and for all.
How was it? The few chapters are major so it might take a little more times but I'm typing as fast as I can! Again give thanks to my Beta for knowing how to spell!
Please review! I need some form of criticism so I can make people happy! 1 thing I will not do is BellaXJacob. NO! That's why I had him imprint and get married! Hehe…moo….. (Inside joke)
