A/N: This was a challenge given to me by Aunt Bell so this is dedicated to her and her weird mind for wanting this :P
Pairing: Nahuel/Bella
Summary: Bella finds herself in South America, near the Amazon to be exact. She finds more than what she expected when she has to run for her safety, finding out about vampires was one thing, werewolves for another, but what happens when she finds out about Half Breeds and finds Nahuel... Will he help her or will he leave her? Ra:M
Disclaimer: I do not own anything twilight related.
Previously,
"He won't allow it… I will not allow it, I made an oath to my sister before she died that I was to kill the bastard who gave her that angel. I don't blame Nahuel, I did, but I don't know. I blame Joham. I will protect you like I protect my nephew." She whispers fiercely to me before leaving the cabin.
My eyes stare after her while I curl back up into a ball and stare at the door; I knew I was safe, I knew she wasn't lying either.
Ohhh Serena what have you gotten me into…
Nahuel
I couldn't help admire the beauty of the human woman in front of me, her eyes darting around as we move away from my aunt. I couldn't help but feel giddy and somewhat afraid of this strange woman, the spark of energy that transposed between us, sending my beating heart soaring with elation.
Could this human, this strange human, be my mate?
"I'm sorry… I just… You were in danger and I just couldn't let you be hurt" she fumbles out as her eyes dart around.
I couldn't help but frown, "Danger?"
My eyes scan the tree line for whatever she saw that posed a threat to me, only to lock eyes with my aunt. Was this brave human privileged to our kinds secret? Did she think that I needed to be saved from what she saw as a threat and threw all caution into the wind for me?
A scream so frightening escaped her rosy lips as her eyes connected with my aunt's red ones.
"Quick, we need to run… she's... She'll kill us" she cries out as she tries to budge me, move me from my spot. I couldn't help but lift my brows in surprise. Proving all my thoughts were indeed true. She knew of our kind, well my aunt's kind at least and had tried to save me from her. Looking down at her I felt the need to sooth her, to make sure she knows she and I aren't in danger
"No she won't, little one; she's my aunt" I tell her soothingly but regret it instantly, her whole body freezes and I could smell the fear running through her veins. Her wide brown eyes lock onto me as she turns painfully slow. Fear and realisation shone in her eyes, confusing me.
"You're… You're a half breed" she squeaks out, her voice a few octaves higher than normal. I was shocked, not only did she know of my aunts' kind, she knew my secret too. She must know someone like me, or someone told her extensively about us.
My arms shot out, catching the woman before me as her eyes roll into the back of her head and her legs gave away. Looking around I swing her into my arms before looking back towards my aunt.
"She knows of you," My aunt states somewhat confused, she didn't ask as she heard the words herself fall from this peculiar angels lips.
"And of you" I reply, my eyes never leaving the peaceful face of the woman in my arms.
"Shall we take her back to ours or to just dispose of her?" Huilen asks me, a deep rumble escapes from my chest as I lean slightly over, teeth bared.
"Ah, I believe my assessment is right then… Congratulations Nahuel, you have found your mate" she gives me a smile, I growl at her in frustration before running off to our home.
"My mate? I have waited so long for my mate and for her to be human, it frightens me so." I tell my aunt as I walk through the door to our cabin and place my angel on the bed.
"You can change her, or I could" she states simply, a growl rose in my throat.
"I just… I don't know if I can allow it… I hold so much guilt over the death of my mother and your own change… How would she ever want to be with a monster like me?" I ask shakily as I stare at my aunt, her eyes are downcast before she sighs sadly.
"I do wish you would let it go Nahuel, your mother wouldn't want you to be in torment of her death" she sighs out sadly, turning from me as her hand covers her mouth.
I knew no matter what she said I could not let that ever go, with a sigh I pull my shirt off and lay down on the bed. Sleep evaded me for now, I wasn't tired, no, and I just couldn't talk anymore. Flashes of when I was an infant plagued my mind, ripping from my mother's womb like a rabid animal, her crying as I broke most of her bones, biting my aunt as she tries to lift me up and then her change.
I don't know when I fell asleep or what I was dreaming of, but a loud yelp jolts me awake.
"Uh... wha..?" I mumble, rubbing my eyes as I look around for the noise, only to see the angel awake.
"Ah, good to see you awake" I yawn, stretching my back to relieve the tension from the night's sleep.
"How did I get here, better yet, why aren't I dead?" she asks, her eyes narrowing slightly at my aunt.
"Because my aunt only kills the degenerate kind and never women or children" I inform her, trying to relax her. Though it doesn't work, there was still tension and distrust in her eyes.
"As for you being here, you passed out when you called me a half breed. I am what you would call dhampir." I spit out bitter, I hated being called a half breed. I know I am not human nor a full-fledged vampire. Standing to pull a shirt over my head I waited for some answers.
"How do you know of us…?" Huilen asks, sitting where I just got up from.
"I have had run-in's" she sighs out while looking out the window, so much lost and torment in her eyes. What had hurt her so much?
"I had fallen in love with a vampire; I thought he was my mate. They were vegetarians, vampires who eat animals. We had been together for almost a year and on my 18th his sister, my best friend, threw me a birthday party. All was well till I opened my presents; I had gotten a paper cut and the empath, my best friend's mate, attacked." She chokes out in utter despair and pain, but there was a bitter lining in her tone.
"Even I could see that he struggled, not because he was the newest to the diet, but because of his gift. He could feel their bloodlust, their hunger and I was my supposed mate's singer" she hisses out through clenched teeth.
"Oh, my poor dear" Huilen gasps out in horror. This creature before me had been with vampires before; she had survived a vampire attack. Her hand rubs her wrist absentmindedly drawing mine and Huilen's attention to it. There on her wrist was a vampire bite. How is she still human?
But a vegetarian coven? That was so unheard of in this world, maybe my aunt would try this, ease her guilt a little on feeding humans.
"I had friends, shape shifters, who had helped me get over him, and I fell in love with one of them, but that wasn't meant to be either. He had cheated; he had left out that someday he would find the perfect woman. I was once again heartbroken; the next few months were a blur till I found myself on plane..." she trails off with a fond smile "We became fast friends and I helped her look for her brother" she finishes, lifting her eyes to look at us.
I was in awe of this strange human angel, vampires and shifters of the like? How was she still alive and human?
"Where is she?" Huilen asks, her eyes drifting over to me.
"Running, her father found her" a simple whisper set a feeling of dread in my belly.
"How did you know Nahuel was a Dhampir?" Huilen demands worry laced in her voice as she looks at the frowning human.
"I've had run-in's" she repeats her later statement.
"Both... Our kinds?" I ask slowly, my brows pulling down thought.
"Yes." she replies hesitantly, warily.
I stand quickly, moving to the chest of draws in the corner.
"It can't be her. She would never disobey that monster who is my father" I snarl to Huilen.
"Calm down Nahuel, you will scare her, but it also might not be Serena, or even Maysun or Jennifer. Some other man could have impregnated a human for such purpose as that monster." My aunt tries to sooth me but it doesn't work.
"BUT IT COULD BE HER!" I snarl, my hands throwing things to find the item I was looking for. As soon as I grip the smooth piece of photographic paper I spin and stare at her
"This girl, your friend. What did she look like?" I demand while looking at her.
"She has a olive complexion,, eyes a soft honey brown. Her hair was dark brown with gold tints, wavy and long… She had this scar from her temple down to below the ear on the left side." She explains and I grip the wall as the image of my older sister flashes in my mind. I heard my aunt's sharp intake of breath as the wall splinters under my fingers. Serena had been near my mate, my very human, female mate.
"Serena" I manage to chokes out.
"How do you know her? Are you with that fucking father of hers?" she explodes with fear.
Anger welled in me as she dares to accuse me of being with that, that monster.
"WHAT NO!" I snarl out at her.
"That bastard had created me; my mother is dead because I ripped my way out of her womb! He never cared and because of him I am this monster! My aunt blames me; no matter how much she says she does I know she does! Sorry Huilen, but it is true, and I don't blame you! That sister of mine tried to take me when I was little, ON HIS REQUEST!" I roar, needing to explain to her. Slamming my hands on the wall as taking a huge chunk of the wall, my body vibrating in my anger as the sound of blood pumped in my ears. I didn't want to hurt her, to scare her and the wall was my suffering victim from the brunt of my rage.
"She found out the truth about him, why they were alive and the way they were… She was trying to find you to apologise and tell you she was wrong all these years, she wanted to know her baby brother. We were looking for you, but he found her, she had to leave because… because he, he wants me to make another of you… Willing or not" she chokes out in fear and that's when I snapped, I ran from the room so I didn't attack.
I roar into the forest as I take out the trees. I refuse to let that woman be another victim to my father, for her to be torn apart from the inside by the baby he would create.
"Nahuel!" I could hear my aunt's concerned voice coming up to me. Stopping when I let out a vicious snarl, I needed to release my anger.
"He won't get her Nahuel… We will protect her" she tries to sooth me, it worked only a little. I knew we would protect her, but will she stay with us?
And what about Serena, is what she said true? Did my sister see what our father truly was like and looking for me to tell me as such? It doesn't matter now, it isn't important, what is, is protecting that woman inside my cabin from the fate my mother and others have been victims too.
"I know… because I won't allow it" I utter fiercely to my waiting aunt.
"Good, now let's go see how that little lady is… and to find out her name" she chuckles out, stunning me, yes, I have yet to learn her name. With a swift nod I follow her back to the cabin, back to the woman I will protect with my very last breath.
A/N: I know pretty much like the last two chapters but I thought you would love Nahuel's POV.
