The girl's eyes opened suddenly, waking up from her nightmares of flooding blood. She sat up suddenly, the blanket covering her falling to her waist, as she took in deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Greetings, miss."
A man smiled at her from the corner of the room, holding a newspaper. He had dark skin and dark eyes, his black hair combed neatly. At his gaze down her chest, she realized she was naked, and she immediately pulled the sheet to her body, her face flaming in embarrassment.
The guy laughed, "Don't worry. I'm not a pervert. I am already with someone else." He stood up and placed a small plastic bag on the bed, "If you feel like you can't speak to me naked, there are some clothes here that might fit you. When you're done you can call for me. My name is Sam Uley, and we're in La Push."
At the sound of the name, the girl's eyes looked up, "La Push…? I am in La Push?"
The man, Sam, nodded, "Yes, you are in La Push. You have reached your destination. Now get dressed. I assure you that our borders are well protected. I have heard that you were looking for Jacob Black. He is here, and when you're ready, you can speak with him."
The girl nodded, and Sam smiled before closing the door. Looking down at her body, the girl realized that she had a bandage on her arm and torso, and her leg was encased in plaster. She opened the bag and did as best as she could to clothe herself.
"Are you ready now, miss?"
It was Sam, and at her answer, he opened the door, bringing in another man, and a boy, who immediately smiled at her. The boy sat down by her bed and reached out a hand, "Hi! My name is Seth Clearwater. What's your name?"
The girl smiled and took the hand he offered, "My people call me Lady of the Rain, but you may call me Leila Prideaux." She looked up at the other man, who had russet skin and dark eyes, "You must be Jacob Black."
The man grinned, "Yeah, that's me." He sat down the bed behind Seth, "Nice to meet you, Leila. So what exactly brings you here?"
Her blue eyes saddened as she touched the bandage on her shoulder, "This.", she said pointing at her injuries. "A vampire has attacked our settlement, and she has killed my grandfather."
All three faces were shocked, but it was Jacob who spoke first, "Bummer. We're sorry to hear that, Leila. But what does this have to do with us?"
"The vampire who attacked us…" She started, "She was looking for you, and for someone named Edward Cullen. She said she had returned to avenge her children."
"Her children?" Sam asked, "Who is she?"
"Her name is Carmille." Leila said, and immediately Jacob shrugged, "We don't know her. Sorry."
Leila's face darkened, "Maybe not. But maybe you know of her children." She looked at the three of them. "She created the vampires Laurent, James and Victoria. And she said that you and the Cullens killed them all."
