I'm back! Hi :3
Kai is not a character from Meyer. She is an OC of mine, sam's mate and from my story 'I regret everything right now' One does not need to read the story to understand it but its there if needed!
When we were called down to the Royal Chambers then next day, Aro was a pretty good sport about his right hand...woman being pulled apart by a tiny thing like Alice. In fact he was downright jovial about it. He asked Alice at first but when she said no, he seemed to be more excited to see if I'd thought about joining the Royal guard than about Dahlia getting in trouble.
"No thank you." I replied with the shake of my head. Alice was hovering near me, her hand on the lower part of my back. Aro sighed looking between the two of us.
"Well I can't help but feel that we've had two great losses today. No matter. The offer is always open, as is our door if either of you change your mind." He declared walking over to us, Alice stood taller as he walked closer. She seemed to still be on the defensive.
"May I?" He took my hand and looked towards Alice. She nodded slowly and he kissed my knuckles. As he stood up to his full height again he waved goodbye to us and we were escorted out of the dungeony castle that was this place.
Alice had mapped out the entire route back ahead of time to make sure we were under the cover of darkness at all times. We'd been back for around a month before she finally let me see my family alone again. She was...particularly careful these days.
Bella and Charlie weren't entirely sure of what to say about it outside of me needing comfort after my traumatic experience. I knew they were still worried about me going through the changes I had and I couldn't really blame them. Sometimes I actually forgot to put in contacts and Bella gets all observant saying my eyes looked different, like they were a dark gold instead of brown. I shrugged during those times and excused myself to the bathroom. Those times were almost over. I'd be disappearing from them soon enough.
It was during Summer break after graduation, when I was supposed to be getting ready for 'college' when Sam called for us to allow him over the border and to help him find his mate. Apparently the poor girl had disappeared into our territory, she'd been last seen in a truck with some man he called Richard. He said it might have been against her will and he sounded angry when it happened but Rose, Emmett and I raced out to find her none the less. Alice of course came with me while Edward and Tanya went to find Carlisle for the permission.
We found the car speeding a little as it went past the road near our home. Emmett was the first to jump, landing on top of the rusted old Toyota. The women inside sounded like she was in distress, all I could hear over the motor was bits and pieces of the conversation and WHEW! Boy, did she stink of wolf.
Rose looked at me worriedly as we heard something like a NO and then silence. I nodded towards her then Ali and took a running start for my jump as Emmett snickered at me and my short legs. Hey, I needed the powered start, I have little legs.
I leaped and landed gracefully on the side of the bed, swinging myself over to look inside the passenger side. Alice was running alongside us and the car, waiting to see if I'd fall off. I clung on pretty well I thought, she was still worried apparently.
I peeked my head over and took in the tanned, dark haired woman. Her arms were tied to the handle and her head was bleeding and swollen as I took in the tear stains on her face, it looked like she'd been smacked around a little. I felt fear and worry hit me as it occurred to me that Sam was right, she'd been forced. At first I thought she might have just left from the gigantic sounding argument and he over reacted but no, definitely forced.
Her eyes opened, blood shot and terrified out of her mind. I just wanted to hold her and take care of her, it was like all the mothering ever just smacked me in the face as I made eye contact with her. I tried to smile kindly at her and put a finger to my lips to signal she should be quiet, I'd get her out of there if it was the last thing I ever did.
It didn't quite work. She sort of stared at me for a second or two, blinked and opened her mouth to let out a blood curdling scream. Well shit. I could hear the male yell something, she just kept screaming and looked over at him. I saw her head whip around and smack off the window before I actually heard Rose growl as she landed. He'd basically just called the wraith of god when he smacked a woman in front of Rose.
Alice reacted faster than I did when Rose shattered the windshield, going for his throat, and pulled me off the car. I felt her arms come up and tug as I finally let go of the side. She wrapped them around me and turned her back to shield me as the car skid and flipped itself over into the ditch next to the roads. I heard a gun go off as it flipped and squeezed the hand I was holding. Rose landed on top again, she was still a little furious about the male.
"Watch out for her head, Rose." I called out to her, worried now and gripped Ali's hands tighter than before.
"I'm watching, Irene. Calm down." Rose responded incredulously as she pulled the lid back slowly, we'd have to put it back down later but that was for Edward, Carlisle, and Jasper.
"Is she awake?" Emmett asked curiously, trying to look around Rose's shoulders as she looked down.
"How am I supposed to know, Emmett?" Rose replied, sounding exasperated.
"Oh my goodness, get out of the way." I sighed and ducked my head down to look at the woman, Kai I believe. She blinked and stared blankly back at me.
"Heeey. I'm Irenta, just call me Irene though." I stared, hoping to have her talk or something. Instead she just continued to stare blankly at me. I frowned and sat back up, getting worried.
"Alice, shes not responding. Shes just kinda...sitting there." I called out to Alice and she walked closer to me.
"Well we'll get her out if nothing else." Alice frowned but also nodded to me as I sighed. She leaned over to cut the zip ties as I picked her up slowly out of the seat and carried her in my arms. It felt nice to have something warm with a heartbeat in my arms to take care of, I wanted to cradle her and hug her back to health as I looked down at her face.
"God Sam's going to kill me. His mate is completely brain dead, Ali." I groaned with worry and anxiety as I looked down at her, she was still just staring blankly. Not an expression to be found except the dead look she'd had since the male smacked her.
"Nonsense. She'll be okay, shes just...adjusting I suppose. Shes been through a lot and shes kinda bleeding a lot, baby." Alice came up closer to me and rubbed me on the back as she responded. I saw her look over to Alice and felt a thankful smile start up, she wasn't entirely gone. She'd still need to see a doctor though.
"Hes close, I can smell them." Rose announced almost right as I heard Sam.
"Kai!" I looked up to see him sweating like crazy, his heartbeat seemed to be out of control. I motioned to him though he could easily smell her, I'm sure.
"Sam, shes alright but she should see Carlisle." I responded as I watched his buddies, run behind him. He sped up if that was even possible, trying to get closer to her.
"Give her to me, she'll see the reservation's doctor." He demanded and held out his arms as he got closer to us, his eyes were on her the entire time. I didn't like the crazy look he had going on, I tightened my grip around her. I felt like I needed to protect her.
"Sam, you're shaking. She needs to see a doctor soon. Carlisle will be here soon anyways." I stated both nervous and worried as his shoulders shook. He growled and I turned my body slightly, as though to shield the girl when Ali, Rose, and Emmett leaped into action. We may have a bad streak for being blood thirsty as vampires but we were protective of our family.
"GIVE HER TO ME. NOW, IRENTA." He roared at at me. His eyes were on her still as his pack mates put their hands on his shoulders, ready to hold him back. I could see Ali getting her feathers ruffled as she snarled back at him.
"Why isn't Carlisle good enough?! She was just in a wreck to start with, god only knows what else happened to her!" I was almost pleading with him, I was worried there was something seriously wrong with Kai.
"Because he's a leech. You've only been around maybe a year, you don't understand why we don't like your kind! Just give her to me, bloodsucker!" He wasn't as loud as before but he sounded just as angry and I took in a breath sharply. How dare he.
"Ira, baby. Give her to him. She's his mate, you're going to break our treaty otherwise." Alice looked back at us, she was still in the crouched position. I frowned and shook my head. I didn't want to give her up.
"What if he phases and hurts her? Its not safe, Ali!" I pulled her even tighter to my chest, even going so far as to angle her away from Sam's view. I really didn't trust the shaking shape shifter right now.
"Shes not yours to keep safe, Ira. She's his and you need to give her to him." Alice tried to reason with me, using her honey coated voice. I sighed, I knew I had to I just really didn't want too. I felt like she was partly mine to take care of.
"On one condition! I get to see her when I want." I declared, looking back at Sam. He couldn't refuse me and we both knew it, the look of desperation and anguish on his face was clear.
"Fine, but no one else is allowed to come with you. You'll be escorted to and from the border, Leech. Now, give her to me." He snapped and took a step closer towards Kai as the vampires moved out of his way. I felt her shift a little before Sam scooped her up and out of my arms, they felt empty now as Ali came around and rubbed my back.
"Kai, whats wrong?" He asked sounding even more worried than he looked as she just pointed at the car. I wondered why for a second before it dawned on me.
"Theres another human in there. He...seemed to have beat the crap out of her. When we got her out she was zip-tied to the door handle." I tried to place the words carefully but gave up half way. Either way I put it, Sam was going to be furious anyways. I couldn't blame him either. I watched him mutter something as the other two walked over, cut him out and hauled him up. He was pretty much going to the executioners at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned up in a missing notice.
Carlisle showed eventually, asking if there was someone he should tend to, I shook my head. She was gone. Jasper had elected to stay away from the wreck, Kai had bled everywhere and it seemed he wasn't strong enough for it.
"Time to go home, baby." Ali whispered in my ear as she took my hand and we started to run back to the house. I'd have to go back to the Swan house later but right now I just wanted to cuddle with Alice. I'd missed her a little bit.
