I walked toward the Cullen home with Jacob and Sam trailing behind me. I glanced up at one of the big windows as I just so happen caught Johnny's eye. He appeared in the door way a second later looking confused to see us all. When his eyes met Sam's he growled and I gave him a look. Johnny still didn't trust the pack after they tried to come after Renesmee.
"Johnny", I said in warning as Carlisle appeared behind him.
"Hello", he greeted us looking fairly grim.
"We have news", Sam told him as Carlisle glanced back into the house.
"What kind of news?" he asked us. I lifted up the note as I met Carlisle's eyes.
"From Alice", I told him.
This seemed to move things along quickly as all the Cullens filtered out the house and onto the porch with us. When they were all around I finally handed Carlisle the note.
"Gather all your witnesses before the first snow fall sticks. That's when they are coming", he read aloud. Everyone shifted where they stood.
"So they just left, no explanation", asked Rosalie and I shook my head.
"They asked to cross through our lands to the ocean", Sam explain and I nodded to prove his story.
"Why would they leave when we needed them the most", Bella asked in confusion. "Can I see that", Carlisle handed her the note.
"Eyota, have you seen anything on the Volturi?" Edward asked me stepping forward.
"Not much other than what Alice saw of them as well", I told them shifting as I shoved my hands into the pockets of my shorts.
"So the first snow that sticks?" Bella asked me and I nodded.
"Yes, definitely", I told them.
"What I don't understand is why do they want Renesmee, what has she done", Jacob asked and Johnny stepped over to us.
"It was Irina, she told the Volturi that Renesmee was an immortal child", my eyebrows raised high with shock. I recalled the information I had gained on immortal children.
"I get the feeling you know what they are Eyota", Carlisle said.
"Yes I do", I replied thinking of the cold red eyes of the vampire children.
"Of course you would", Johnny said crossing his arms. I raised an eyebrow at his tone of voice.
"How long have you known about this?" I asked them.
"Only a day", Carlisle told us. I turned to Johnny with narrowed eyes.
"Johnny may I speak with you…alone", I said in a voice with no place for argument. He glanced over before nodding slowly. We stepped off the porch and the Cullens disappeared into the house while Sam left into the woods. Jacob stood on the porch with his arms crossed.
"What's up Chief?" asked Johnny standing a ways away from me.
"Why didn't you call me the moment you learned about this?" I asked him
"It wasn't my business to share", my nose flared in irritation.
"Renesmee is a pack imprint Johnny, and you are a part of this pack. We have a responsibility to help you protect her", I explained to him. He snorted loudly and I narrowed my eyes.
"Is that all it is to you? A responsibility? Like any of you actually care that she's my imprint. I can already imagine how the guys feel about her", he snapped at me.
"Well if you were doing your duty as a protector you would see that none of your pack mates have a problem with your imprint", I defended. He glared at me stepping forward, he loomed over me a few feet but I wouldn't be intimidated.
"I AM being a protector, to the only person that truly matters to me. Don't you dare say that!" he yelled at me. I could heard Jacob growling and I heard his steps as he moved forward.
"Hey!" Jacob yelled but I held my hand out for him to stay back.
"You have responsibilities to your tribe Johnny, and if you accepted those responsibilities you would also see that we will support you through your imprinting with Renesmee, none of us care that's she's half vampire", I told him with my arms crossed.
"That's not true! I can already see how the guys will look at her! Treat her!" he snarled. He began shaking and I moved my arms into a defensive position so if he leapt at me I could hold him off. "How the world will treat her! The tribe!" I realized then all this anger wasn't actually directed toward me but rather the world itself. Johnny was convinced without even trying no one would accept his imprint as who she was. He, after all, had hated vampires at one point. But he wrong.
"Johnny you need to calm down", I told him. I did not order him with the Alpha command however. He growled and began shaking.
"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN", he lunged at me and with a tear of his clothes he was a wolf. Before he met me Jacob, as his wolf form, tackled him to the side. The backdoor opened and out came Emmett and Edward both looking ready to fight, they must have heard the snarling that was coming off loudly from their battle. Jacob and Johnny were wrestling, I could tell immediately Jacob was winning. Jacob was an Alpha and he naturally would be stronger than Johnny.
"ENOUGH", I snarled in an Alpha order. I was surprised when even Jacob stopped immediately. Johnny was huffing loudly his lip pulled back in a snarl. "Johnny, go back to the reservation, you need time to cool off", I told him. He snarled once more before taking off.
"Well jeez, I thought he was getting over those anger issues", was all Emmett said before disappearing into the house. Edward stared at me for a moment probably catching all the highlights from Jacob and Johnny's minds. He just nodded and turned away going back into the house.
"I'll get you some clothes Jacob", was all Edward said before the door closed. I turned and I yelped turning away quickly when I realized Jacob was human again and very naked. I was twisted around though and Jacob was staring at me worriedly.
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" I was blushing a bright red and I was trying to keep my eyes north toward his eyes.
"I'm fine, really", I promised. He pulled me toward him for a hug and I let out a very, unlike me, squeak. My face was turning warmer as the moments passed. "Uhm…J-Jacob", I murmured. He pulled away to look me in the eye but he seemed to realize his lack of dress because he seemed to disappear before my eyes.
"S-sorry Eyota!" I realized he was now hiding behind a tree. Edward appeared in the door way again. He only walked close enough to hand me the clothes. They smelled strongly of vampire, probably Emmett's clothes as he was the only one close enough to Jacob's build. Edward was smirking at me and I gave him a glare, not very serious, as he was obviously enjoying our innocent embarrassment from seeing one another lacking in dress.
I took a deep breath before walking over to the tree but not passing to see Jacob. I cleared my throat and only Jacob's head popped out from behind the tree.
"Here's the clothes", I told him with a straight face. I was fighting back the warmth on my face trying to be professional about this. Naked tribesmen wasn't exactly something I was new to seeing but it was different with Jacob. The fact that we'd probably have children one day meant I'd see him like that again one day. I just wasn't quite ready to see it all the time.
"Thanks Eyota", he gave me a sheepish grin and my lips twitched with a smile. He leaned forward enough to peck me on the lips before disappearing behind the tree. The small kiss caused me to have a full smile break on my lips. Imprinting was a crazy thing.
