Sam took in the look of absolute horror and unadulterated fear on the cullen's faces and shifted his hackles his pack once again shifting around him.
I grinned lazily blinking my muted blue eyes at him in a way I knew was innocent and unarming.
"You can't stay here." He warned.
"On the contrary mate, I can and I will and you can't do a bloody thing about it." I tsk'd wiping my still bloody hand on my light wash jeans leaving a noticeable smear of crimson.
"If you live here you live by our rules." He demanded his glare harshly in place as he shifted toward me threateningly.
I feel a look of amusement bubble to the surface and I clasp my hands behind my back and rock on my heels like a child, "Oh? Do tell."
"You don't feed off the humans in La push." He started.
I grimaced sucking in air through my pearly white teeth, "Ohh bad idea. You see if you want to keep your humans safe you would let me."
He growled frustrated, "How would that possibly keep the humans safe?"
"Well you see," I said pacing around the circle lightly, "My way, I tap a quick vein drink my fill, heal them with a little vampire blood and compel them to forget it ever happened."
I pause noting he looked more confused than anything else and continue on.
"Your way and I slowly lose my tolerance until, I snap and slaughter your entire town, in an unfortunately bloody accident."
"True vampires can bite without turning." Carlisle explained obviously knowing more about true vampires than he let on to his family.
"What do you mean compel?" Sam asked hesitantly, he was trying not to be intimidated and I almost respected him for it.
I smirk waving a hand at his littlest wolf, "May I? Never mind of course I may." I mutter carelessly practically floating over to the little wolf.
His eyes angel soft brown eyes were wide and fearful as they stared into my watery blues and I soften them drawing him in with the fluctuation of my pupils.
"Sit little wolf." I command softly, watching as he did so without a thought about it, "Good." I purred see Sam watching with a look of helplessness and disbelief on his face, "Now roll over."
He rolled over showing me his stomach in a move I purposely wanted to show vulnerability. I blink my eyes over to Sam breaking the compulsion and smile tightly.
My phone beeped and I pull it out to read a text message, its from the real state agent that I bought the house from telling me it was ready for me to move in.
"Ah if you'll excuse me, I'm needed else where."
I don't give them a chance to respond before I'm already out of the forest and onto the road heading toward my new life.
….
"Would you please remind me why exactly we're doing this?" Jacob grumbled coming to a stop outside the large almost mansion style house located right outside the reservation.
"Because Sam told us to." Quil snorted "And he didn't want to send Seth after the whole 'good puppy' thing earlier. Which by the way wasn't as funny as it looked." He chastised when Jared started laughing. "You weren't there so you don't know."
They stopped at the drive way, shifted uncomfortably at the fact that they were standing in a Vampire's driveway at like one in the morning.
Jacob tilted his head trying to get a lock on her heartbeat, his brows furrowed in bemusement, "She's sleeping."
"Vampires don't sleep." Jared scoffed.
"Apparently we don't know what vampires do, now go knock on the door." Quil hissed pointing toward the big red front door.
Jacob rolled his eyes at the two of them, pushing them toward the porch and following closely behind. He raised a large fist and pounded on the door, fighting the urge to tuck tail and run, when her heartbeat picked up signaling that she was awake.
Seconds later she was pulling open the heavy painted wood door, in nothing but a pair of lavender panties and a white tank top, a sleepy look on her face.
Jared and Jacob sucked in a breathe, Quil's memories did not do her justice, her legs were toned and mile long, and her long strawberry blonde hair was damp making it look more bronzed then it actually was, it was dripping water onto her tank top, and they had to avert their eyes from the seductive picture it made.
They shook away the thoughts reminded themselves that she was a vampire even though she had a heartbeat and her skin was slightly tanned and putting off warmth, her eyes were not an unsettling red or unnatural bronze they were a muted blue color almost like the sky when it was about to rain kind of watery and just a little grey.
It also helped that she didn't smell like a vampire, the sickly sweet scent usually associated with the blood suckers wasn't hanging in the air making their noses burn and their bodies shake with the need to shift, she smell like the earth with just a hint of sweetness, like a cherry blossom.
Her eyes light up in recognition at the sight of Quil, "You're that one bloke from earlier." She said her English accent surprising them once more.
Quil nodded carefully, "I'm Qui Arteara the fifth."
She leans carelessly on the door frame with a lazy smirk on her lips, "Bit of a mouth full darling. Arabelle Mikaelson, the first, last and only."
He snorts, "And you say mine was a mouth full." He joked Quil warming up to the vamp alarmingly fast.
Her smirk widens, "Who're your friends." She said with a jerk of her delicate chin in their direction.
"That's Jacob Black and Jared Cameron." He said pointing to each of them in turn.
Jared nodded hesitantly and Jacob crossed his arms over his chest glaring out of principle.
She rolled her eyes at him, "Oh look another Lockwood. What do you want?" She questioned her sleepy haze finally wearing off and her usual demeanor falling slowly back into place.
Jared cleared his throat, "On behalf of Sam we came to invite you to a bomb fire at first beach tomorrow night."
She raised a brow at him, "You want me to come to your little pack party… why?"
"You said you liked the stories." Jacob said gruffly catching her attention. "We'll tell you ours and in exchange you tell us yours."
She grinned darkly at him her eyes darkening slightly, "My story isn't one you want to hear mate, it's long dark and depressing." She swallowed against the ache of hunger building in the back of her throat, she'd need a snack soon.
"You're on Quileute land." Jacob growls, Jared being closer to him grab him arm in an attempt to calm him, "We'd like to know what we're dealing with."
She grinned at him sensing a challenge, she loved a challenge another thing she had in common with Niklaus she hated to lose.
"Alright then, I'll show you mine if you show me yours." She purred causing them to shift back uncomfortably.
"Tomorrow then." Quil agreed trying to ease the tension she and Jacob had created.
She grinned at them, the sight of it making their hearts race, in a way that made them want to run.
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
