A/N: Finally I came out with the next chapter. Sorry for the long wait! :)
Chapter 7 – Visit (Bella's POV)
Extreme deja vu. The girl named Caroline had said something about a visitor from the Denalis. Could it be a member of the Denali Vampire Coven? If so, was it Tanya (the leader of the coven as Krista had said)? I had to ask.
"Are you Tanya?" I murmured so low that I could barely hear myself. But all the werewolves heard me and apparently so did the woman. "Yes. I am." she said, smiling that same bloodcurdling smile. "You eat animals instead." I stated. She nodded then turned a glare on Josh and the other wolves. "Have you told this human about the existence of vampires? Because that could get her or us killed." she hissed, and as her lips pulled back now it was to expose her barred teeth. Josh glared back and practically growled, "She's met Krista." Tanya's face went blank with surprise then she shook it off. "Dammit Kristalina." she hissed under her breath then out loud she said, "Well there's a big storm coming so I'll stay nearby in the forest. If you see a vampire, don't pounce at it." With that she disappeared in the way Krista, or Kristalina as Tanya had said, moved when going fast enough.
"Sam says they haven't gotten anything suspicious around Forks, Seattle, or La Push. He said he was going to try to talk with the Olympic bloodsuckers. Specifically with...er...what's his name? Oh yeah, Carlisle." Carl said, turning to Josh who simply nodded. Forks? Charlie! And didn't one of his best friends live in La Push? Billy or Willy or something. And that name. Carlisle. More deja vu.
Dammit! If only I could remember! And if only my feelings weren't an open book with especially large, audacious print. "You look frustrated. Like your trying to remember something." Josh said. I sighed. "It's just that I have this feeling of deja vu..." He looked at me and chuckled, answering, "You've been chased by a sadistic vampire before?" I shook my head. "No. What Carl was saying...about some vampire named Carlisle, Forks, La Push, and the Olympic vampires. It all rings a bell and I just can't put my finger on it." I said then sighed again. "Well feel free to tell one of us if you remember. If you're tired, you can sleep on the couch. There's food in the cupboards and in the fridge. Caroline, Carl, Blake, and I are staying here while everyone else takes the perimeter of Alaska. But we'll be in the backyard in our wolf forms to keep in contact with the rest of the pack. Oh, and one more thing: no matter what, do not open the door for anyone. If it's a wolf, they have a key." Josh then turned and stalked outside with Caroline, Carl, and who I guessed must be Blake on his heels.
I fell back onto the couch, too exhausted to even change clothes. I have a single suitcase with me with the essentials, but it lay untouched at the foot of the couch. Today had been a long day and I really needed to sleep. So I tried to relax and shut my eyes.
Thunder was booming, lightning was cracking, and hail was pelting the roof. I guessed Alaska was too cold for rain to stay in it's liquid form. Then just as exhaustion was about to consume me, there was a tap on the window. Now I know it seems I wouldn't hear it but the couch is pushed right up against a big window so that light tap was just barely louder than the thunder in my ears. My eyes shot open as if they'd been held down by rubber bands and I sat up. I looked out the window on instinct. What I saw there caused me to dash to the door and fling it open. "Krista!" I exclaimed, jumping to her. My arms surrounded her but I hesitated when she stood like stone under my grip. I looked up at her face to see her eyes were flat black. She still hadn't hunted. Realizing the dire mistake I'd made, I jumped back a step and tried to apologize. But suddenly I wasn't where I'd been standing.
Everything happened so quickly, one minute it was just me and Krista. But now 4 horse sized wolves were tensed across from us and I was behind a crouched Krista. Her lips had pulled back, exposing her teeth through which she was hissing. She had me terrified as did the wolves. They were growling ferociously as they too exposed their much larger, dagger sized teeth. After a few seconds of hissing and growling, Krista stopped. Her lips slid back into their normal place yet she gaped ever so slightly. In an instant she was erect again. Krista's lips moved as if she said something but it was much too quiet for my ears. At the spear point of the V formation of werewolves, the large honey-chocolate covered wolf also stood up out of his crouch and ceased his growling. The color of the wolf's fur reminded me of Josh and Caroline's eyes. But the wolf was too large to be Caroline who I could easily pinpoint as flanking the big wolf to his right. She was raven black just the same as her hair. So I knew that this wolf at the head of the formation must be none other than the alpha wolf of the pack.
None other than Josh.
