Chapter 40

Will took her back to the house and placed her on the couch.

He kissed her and said. "You don't worry about anything Haley. You're going to be just fine."

Haley half smiled. "Thanks Will."

"I wanted to ask you…. What was it like drinking human blood?"

Jasper suddenly flashed by Will's side and put a hand on his shoulder. "That won't help her at this moment Will. We want her to be in control when she's changed back."

Carlisle walked by Haley, Jasper and Will then and sat down next to her. "How do you feel Haley?"

"Fine."

He looked at Alice.

She nodded. "She'll be in control when she's changed back."

Carlisle nodded and turned to Will.

Will nodded and turned to look at Haley.

He stared at her. "Done."

Haley closed her eyes and breathed in.

Jasper tensed.

"I'm ok Jasper." Haley said as she opened her eyes to look at him. "Truly I am. I can control myself now. And I'm sorry for what I said to you earlier. I didn't really mean it."

Her eyes slowly turned back into their silver color.

Jasper looked her at her up and down and slowly straightened up.

He checked her through her emotions to see if was lying before saying. "Then I believe you."

Will headed for the door. "I'm going hunting."

Haley stood from the couch and said. "Mind if I come with you?"

"Haley you just drank human blood." Will said. "You can't be thirsty."

"I'm not going to hunt."

Haley put her hands and head in the water of the lake and washed clean of the dry blood.

"So what actually happened? Tell me the full story." Will asked as he lunged at an Elk and immediately put his mouth to its neck.

"You already know what happened."

"Yes but I want to know it fully."

Haley sighed and walked over to a tree and leaned against it.

She closed her eyes as she explained. "While I was out here in the woods I was consecrating on the smells around me. When I caught one and I went for that immediately. I didn't consecrate on what the smell was or where it came from like you were supposed to. I didn't realize my mistake until after I broke each of their necks and sucked their blood." She flinched at the memory. "I wasn't able to stop myself from drinking the blood. I lost it as soon as I tasted their blood. I tried to remember what Jasper taught me about control but once I tasted their blood I couldn't remember how to stop. It was like nothing else mattered once I tasted their blood. All I could think about was their blood."

"What did the blood taste like?" Will asked.

"It was so sweet and tangy! You won't be able to stop if you tasted it. It's nothing like animal blood."

Suddenly Haley growled.

"What's wrong?" Will asked as he looked around.

"Someone's coming."

"Who?"

Haley closed her eyes.

A second later she shuddered and spoke. "His name is Hunter. He can make people lose their memories just by looking at them and make them turn on anyone they love. He is also a tracker. He can find people just by imagining their faces in his mind. I think that he was working for Tom."

"Who is he after?" Will asked.

Haley sighed and shook her head. "I don't really know. I'm not sure who he is after. I can't get into his head to find out. Get ready. He'll be here shortly."

"That must mean that his after one of us." Will said.

Haley nodded.

Five minutes later Hunter came through the trees.

He smiled at Will.

"You must be Hunter." Will said.

He laughed. "Ah so you know me. That's good."

He looked at Will for a split second.

Will suddenly fell to his knees.

"Will are you alright?" Haley asked.

Will looked up at her.

Haley could see the confusion in his eyes and to her that wasn't a good sign.

"Who are you?"

"Oh dear. It's me Will. It's Haley."

"She wants to hurt you Will." Hunter said. "You must careful with her. She's a dangerous one. She's known by all vampires around the world to be dangerous and she can't be trusted with. She's different from other vampires. That's why her eyes are silver. To show that she's dangerous and a threat."

Will looked from Hunter to Haley and scowled at her.

"No I don't want to hurt you. How could I ever hurt you? I love you Will." Haley said. "I will never do that to you Will."

"Yes she does. She doesn't care about you. She only cares about herself. She brought you out here to destroy you."

Haley turned and growled at Hunter.

"See. Dangerous."

Will stood.

He turned to Haley and struck her with his hand.

That sent Haley soaring into a nearby tree.

"No one shall destroy me!" Will boomed.

Haley was unable to move. "Don't do this William. This isn't you."

He started walking towards her.

Will didn't stop to listen to her.

Instead he continued to walk towards Haley without a pause.

He grabbed her arms and threw her into the lake.

Hunter laughed. "Come let's take our leave."

Will nodded and ran off with Hunter.

Five minutes later the Cullen's showed.

Jasper growled as he heard a splash coming from the lake.

A second later Haley walked out of the lake and fell to her knees.

"What happened?" Emmett asked.

"His gone." She whispered.

"Haley tell us what happened here." Carlisle said. "Where's Will."

"It was Hunter." Alice said before Haley could answer.

Haley nodded. "He took Will! He erased Will's memories and made him turn against me."

Edward growled.

Haley stood and turned. "I have to go after him."

"No Haley." Carlisle said.

"I have to go after him. I'll use my abilities if I have to. I just have to get Will back."

"But you hate using your abilities." Alice reminded her.

"I don't care!" Haley yelled. "I must go after him. I don't care that he'll overpower me. I don't care that his stronger than me and I don't care that his will be too much for me to handle because his still a newborn."

Edward walked over to her. "You are young…."

"Edward… please don't." Haley said.

"Let me finish Haley." He said. "You are young. You might make a mistake. Hunter will probably try to make him stronger somehow then he already is. That's why I'm coming with you."

"I am also coming." Bella said. "You might need a shield to protect you."

"Edward no." Haley said shaking her head.

"It's the right thing to do Haley." Jasper said. "You might need all the help you can get."

Haley sighed. 'Fine.'

Edward, Bella and Haley ran away without saying another word.

"Try and sense where Will is." Edward said as they ran.

Haley shook her head. "There is no need for that." she said. "We all know where he is."

'The place where Tom changed me.'

Edward nodded. "We are going to have to be careful while fighting Will. His still a newborn and his stronger than us."

Bella and Haley nodded.
