Alright, I think it took me so long to write this chapter because I've been doing things and my computer can't last long enough at the moment. It's being a piece of shit so it's almost always on charge. I'm going home tomorrow, which means I'll have nothing to do and holidays.
For those of you who are canadian, I've been told it's Canada day, so Happy Canada day.
Please bare with me for the next few chapters, I have an idea but, it might take me a while to write it up so that it makes sense. So hang in there and thanks to Kelsey for all the reviews lol :D
Third Person POV.
Cat sighed as she moved in her sleep, a few of her bones cracked. Cat groaned and went to sit up, but found a huge weight on her. She turned her head sleepily while rubbing one of her eyes and saw that she had been lying on Jacob's chest, his arm was over her shoulders as he snored lightly. Bella was lying over her back, her arm around Cat's waist and most of Bella's layers were lying on top of her too. Some more cracks sounded as she moved
"Are you alright?" Edward wondered, she turned and saw him in the same position as when she'd fallen asleep. She looked him up and down before yawning
"It's just from sleeping on the hard ground instead of in a beautifully comfy mattress" she explained, "I just need to get up and walk and I'll be right after a few stretches" she yawned again "What time is it?" she questioned
"Around ten" he answered. Cat smiled
"Good. I was dreading the thought of possibly waking up at some ridiculous hour" Cat muttered
"What do you call ridiculous?" Edward asked
"Nine o'clock in the morning" Cat confessed. Edward chuckled as she felt round to find her phone
"Looking for this?" Edward asked holding it out for her, she raised an eyebrow "I thought it might have gotten broken so I just set it aside for you", Cat nodded
"Not like I couldn't have just bought a new one" she grinned taking it. It had a few text messages on it, one from her mum, one from her dad, one from Embry, one from Sophie and one from Billy. Billy's said good luck. Sophie's said that Alice said, that it would all start around eleven and not to be late or she'd miss out. Embry said something along the same lines only to tell Jacob if he didn't find out before hand. Caren said to have fun while out shopping and John said there was some extra money in her account if she needed it for her day out. Cat nodded and sighed lying back down on Jacob
"Aren't you hot under all that?" Edward wondered, Cat looked at the sleeping bag, Bella's extra clothes and Bella all lying on her, plus Jacob lying underneath her.
"Temperature doesn't bother me any more" Cat shrugged "So not really" she yawned again "How much sleep did I get?" she questioned
"About seven hours" Edward answered, Cat groaned. "What?"
"Eight's the minimum I like to get. Great" Cat complained
"Well, if it makes you feel any better you got more sleep than Jacob did" Edward confessed, Cat looked at Jacob, he look completely out of it.
"Why?"
"Bella's sleep talking was keeping him up" Edward explained, Cat looked at him surprised
"Bella sleep talks?" she asked. Edward chuckled
"You really are a deep sleeper" he muttered, Cat narrowed her eyes at him before Bella began to stir. She sat up and yawned, rubbing her eyes. When she opened them they immediately closed again, even in the tent it was pretty bright. Cat removed Jacob's arm from her shoulders and sat up also, stretching, many of her bones cracked as she did. Bella managed to adjust to the light
"Sorry" she mumbled, Cat and Edward looked at her confused "For sleeping on you and for worrying you" she said to them both, Cat waved the thought away
"Doesn't matter" she assured her smiling "I'm used to Sophie doing something similar" Cat confessed, she yawned "I need a walk, I'll be right back" she got up and undid the zip before she slipped out of the tent.
Cat's POV.
The sun was blinding off the white snow, everything glittered and glistened like crystals. The sun looked beautiful as it shined just above the horizon, the trees framing it like a picture frame. I took a deep breath, the sun on my face made me feel naturally better. I stretched reaching up to the now clear sky, it was like the storm had never happened but that it had peacefully snowed and made everything look like christmas in a movie. I turned at the sound of a yawn and saw Seth stand up, shaking the snow from his fur. I grinned and walked over to him, he took a step forwards and I flung my arms around his neck, hugging him
"Poor Seth, were you alright, alone in the cold snow?" I mocked, he rolled his eyes and sighed at me, I chuckled and let him go. I walked to where the mountain just dropped off and looked at the view. It was beautiful! There were mountains for miles, all of it covered in snow and glistening in the still rising sun. I grinned, after being in the sun for at least five minutes I felt wide awake. Seth stood next to me
"I feel like I could demolish a mountain" I grinned, he sighed and shook his head
"What?" I pouted.
Sophie's POV.
I awoke with a start as my head suddenly hit the ground beneath me. I jumped up and looked around, well I tried, I was blinded by the distant rising sun. I rubbed my head and took a second look after my eyes adjusted. The wolves were all still sleeping, sleeping as wolves usually did not like giant human wolves as some would expect. I looked at Embry next to me, I scowled, he'd rolled away and was lying on his side, that was probably why my head hit the ground, he rolled out from under me. There was chill in the air as I yawned, I found my phone lying on the grass a little ways off, I picked it up and pulled all the water off it. I pressed the button and turned it on, it was about eight in the morning. I yawned again
"Not bad" I muttered, I knew my sister wouldn't be nearly ready to be up, she'd probably be asleep until two seconds to the fight or something ridiculous like that. I looked at the wolves and counted them all… there was two missing, I looked again, obviously Jacob was missing and… Seth? I suddenly remembered how he'd gotten up last night and left
"I wonder why?". I hit my forehead "To go to Jacob that's why… he has to swop spots!" I remembered. I tiptoed very quietly through the sleeping wolves and past the still dying fire. It was still glowing and brightly, if you threw on another log or two if would probably start up again. I stood on the edge of the cliff and sat with my legs over the edge. I listened to the sound of the ocean, the wind on my face, the occasional spray of salty water hitting my face. I took a deep breath and bit my lip, I turned to look at the wolves for a second before I suddenly jumped off the cliff. I plummeted down to the cold waters below, welcoming them gladly as I hit the waves. I was surrounded by water. My clothes were soaked through within the second my hair flying around me. I opened my eyes and stared into the empty blackness, it really was nothing like Miami with it's beautifully clear waters and coral and fish. I might have sighed had I not been underwater. I decided it was time to return to the surface now so I kicked upwards, my head breaking the surface. I wiped the hair out of my face.
"Oh my god, Sophie" I looked up to see Embry looking over the edge, I grinned up at him but he looked worried
"What's wrong?" I wondered
"I awoke to a splash and you were gone!" he explained, I sighed and rolled my eyes
"Embry, I can't drown, I can breath underwater" I assured him
"Waking up like that though was scary" he frowned. I turned around and the water tornado-ed, pushing me out of the water and up to the cliff top. I landed next to Embry and ran my fingers through my wet hair, pulling the water off the strands as I did. I pulled the water out of my clothes and grinned at Embry. He pulled me in to a tight hug.
"Waking up and finding you gone frightened me" he whispered in my ear, I smiled and hugged him back
"Sorry, I just had the desire to be in that water" I explained, I suddenly heard a growl and Embry released me. We turned to see Leah growling at us "Sorry, did we wake you?" I smirked, she growled again before running off, she came back dressed not two seconds later
"Yes you did. Why are you jumping off cliffs so early in the morning?" she questioned
"Why not?" I wondered, she rolled her eyes. Despite everything, I really thought Leah was beginning to warm up to me. I suddenly remembered something
"Oh" I gasped
"What?" Embry wondered
"Can you get the fire going please?" I asked him
"Why?" he questioned
"Just please?", he nodded. I smiled and kissed his cheek "I'll be right back" I promised. Before he could protest I dashed off through the trees to my car. It was sitting down in the parking lot not far off. Because Emily hadn't come we had pilled everything necessary into my car, including the food. Of course the wolves didn't know that. I grabbed everything, pilling it up onto my shoulders before I trudged, quite quickly, back up the hill to the bonfire site. The fire was going and Leah and Embry looked up at me when I reemerged, they gapped at all the things I was holding as I tiptoed around all the wolves. I carefully and quietly put everything down in a space and began setting up for breakfast.
"You had food all along and you didn't tell us?!" Leah said
"Shhh" I said looking around "If they wake up before it's all ready, they'll begin complaining that I'm taking to long" I scolded
"Where did you get this?" Embry wondered
"It's been in my car"
"All night?" Leah asked
"My car is currently a refrigerator, I control ice remember, it's fine. Not that you guys really mind" I rambled, she smirked. I unfolded a table and began to prepare about ten dozen — probably a lot more — hamburgers, hot dogs, jacket potatoes, vegetables, eggs, bacon, baked beans, bowls of cereal. Juice, cordial, milk, coffee, tea were also dished up. I knew that the second I began to actually cook that the smell would wake everybody up, and than I'd have a riot on my hands. I prepared so much food that Embry and Leah's mouths began to water. I got a cooking plate and a portable gas stove and immediately chucked on all the meat. To the two ogling wolves surprise I also had a portable microwave — with the money my family had now I could get anything — I put the baked beans in there. The first one to wake up was Quil, quickly followed by Paul and than Jared.
"Woah, breakfast" Jared cheered
"Can't go into a fight without energy, now can you?" I grinned I had made about twenty hamburgers, seventeen hot dogs and a heap of everything else by the time everyone else smelt it and finally woke up. It was about an hour later and I was still cooking food for them all.
"Storm…" I looked up, I'd really gotten used to the nickname now "Have you eaten anything?" Jared wondered, I thought
"I've had a few little things, like when I cut up the sausage I ate a few pieces" I shrugged
"You need food too" Collin said
"Than maybe you should all stop eating, than I can stop cooking and eat" I smirked, most of them rolled their eyes "It's either you stop eating so I can eat or you continue to stuff your gobs like the wolves you are" they immediately began stuffing their faces again, I rolled my eyes. Embry wasn't satisfied, of course, because he brought me one of the hamburgers from the pile they were all crowded around. Paul began to retaliate but Embry ignored him as he took everything out of my hands and shoved me the hamburger
"If you insist on coming than I insist that you have the energy to do so" he said sternly. I sighed and took a bit from the hamburger before picking up the knife I had been cutting with again
"I'm a girl" I began before Embry could protest, I smiled at him "I can multitask" he sighed but smiled, before kissing my cheek and going back to sitting with the others.
Eventually they were all completely stuffed and I was out of ingredients. Embry and Quil helped me carry everything back to the car where we packed it and locked it up. The rest of the pack met us halfway to the cliff, all of them in their wolf forms and ready to meet the Cullens. Embry and Quil ran ahead of me before we even reached them and had phased by the time they came into my view. I grinned when they all turned to look at me and just ran in the right direction to the field. I soon heard them behind me and grinned, it didn't matter if I didn't have Cat's light powers, I was still faster then vampires and the wolves. It didn't take long to reach the field and when we arrived the vampires were already there, naturally.
"Good morning all" I greeted cheerfully
"You're in a good mood" Alice smiled, giving me a hug
"Probably because I went for a swim this morning" I grinned
"You what?" Emmett asked
"I jumped off the cliff at eight o'clock this morning"
"Why?" Alice asked looking at me shocked, I shrugged
"Felt like it. It was a great wake up call". Embry lowered his head with a heavy sigh as Alice sighed and shook her head in mock disappointment. I elbowed her in the side and she scowled at me.
"Alice, any idea when this is all gonna go down?" I wondered, changing the subject
"Sometime around eleven" Alice shrugged "I can't get specific details thought" she pouted, I put my arm around her shoulder
"That's pretty good though" I admitted, she sighed. The Cullens began little small chatter after that. I pulled my phone out and texted my sister, I knew she still wouldn't be awake, I still needed let her know, or she would be late. I looked over at the wolves and noticed Embry was missing, after a better look I saw him standing amongst the trees in his human form, he had a phone out too. My phone buzzed and I looked at it surprised, Cat? Awake? At this hour? I checked, no it wasn't Cat, thank god, for a second there I was wondering why she'd be awake, something would have been wrong if that was the case. The text was from my mother, wishing me a good day. It went off again, this time form dad, telling me I had more money. I smiled, what would I do without such nice parents? It vibrated one last time, this time from Billy though, wishing us all luck and telling us Emily had a feast prepared for when we came back. I sighed before walking over to a tree, I logged the phone up, hidden, on a high branch. I didn't need some stupid newborn smashing it.
Cat's POV.
"There you are" I turned around to find Jacob walking towards you "I almost worried when you were gone"
"Right cause Edward and Bella are just gonna sit in the tent while something awful happens to me" I rolled my eyes "Not to mention Seth was with me"
"I didn't know that" he defended
"You would have if you'd phased" I grinned, he sighed, realising he couldn't win this. I looked back out at the landscape "It's so gorgeous"
"I know something better" he whispered as he moved my hair away from my neck, kissing it. Seth made a grumbling noise before disappearing, I giggled at his reaction. I turned to kiss Jacob properly, waking up to his kisses in the morning was probably the best thing ever. It felt like a movie scene with this white blanket covering everything around us, the sun pushing through the clouds, it was like a fantasy. We broke apart much to soon, but Jacob couldn't hold his breath for as long as I could, Embry probably had it harder though, it was sometimes like Sophie didn't need to breath at all. I kissed his nose, his cheek, his jaw, his neck, under his ear. I just covered him in little kisses.
"You're making this difficult" he growled annoyed at something
"What?" I asked, still littering his collar bone in kisses
"To leave"
"Leave?" I wondered
"We have something on today remember" he chuckled
"Oh right, that" I muttered. He was trying to restrain himself, I didn't know why, it was only about forty-five minutes till everything was supposed to begin. He gave up and I grinned as he dragged my mouth up to his and kissed me. He kissed my hungrily but with so much passion, I remembered the first few times he kissed me, he was always holding something back, thinking he was going to break me or something, not anymore, not since he found out I was not even on the scale of 'breakable'. He needed to breath again so I began giving him a love bite on his neck.
"How are you gonna get back?" he asked
"How do you think?" I answered, my reply slurred
"You can't leave a trail, you'll lead the bloodsuckers to here" he was trying to get me to stay
"So I'll fly, I won't even leave a trail that way" I smirked, he let out a small sigh, I don't think he wanted me to hear it as he started thinking of something else. I reached up, because he was so tall I had to levitate in order to lock my arms tightly around his neck and kiss him again, I wasn't going to give him the opportunity of trying to stop me from coming. He automatically kissed me back, he never even tried to push me away, I guess the imprinting kind of gave me the upper hand in our relationship. He pulled away and I leaned my forehead against his as he panted.
"I'm gonna check the coast in clear before we go" he whispered, I nodded and kissed him sweetly before releasing him, he jogged down the side of the hill and I watched him for a few minutes before walking back towards the tent.
"I'm still not sure," I heard Bela mutter. "You've always seemed more like a dream than reality. Tell me one of yours, now. Did I guess your first place?"
"No — that would be two nights ago, when you finally agreed to marry me." Edward said. I stopped in my tracks. Had I just heard that right? "That doesn't make your list?" Edward wondered as Bella didn't answer him
"Yes… it does. But with reservations. I don't understand why it's so important to you. You already had me forever." Bella finally said
"A hundred years from now, when you've gained enough perspective to really appreciate the answer, I will explain it to you." Edward chuckled
"I'll remind you to explain — in a hundred years." Bella promised. I sprinted to the tent, undid the zip and had a hand on both their shoulders within the millisecond. My appearance made Bella jump, even Edward was surprised. My excitement was building up
"Did I hear that right?!" I asked almost bouncing up and down
"What?" Bella wondered
"You two are really engaged?" I put my hand to my mouth while I smiled. Bella made a face at the last word I spoke, Edward smiled. I clapped my hands and let out a small squeal of excitement before flinging my arms around Bella's neck
"That's so exciting!" I bursted out hugging her "Can I see the ring? Have you got it? I bet it's gorgeous!" I dreamed
"I don't have it" Bella said, I frowned, all my excitement suddenly gone "I didn't want to risk loosing it…" she looked at Edward, I looked between the two but Edward looked calm while Bella was searching his face for some kind of emotion.
"What kind of wedding are you having? Is it gonna be unforgettable?" I continued after a while of silence, kind of changing the subject off of the ring
"No" Bella said almost immediately, I pouted as she continued "We're just gonna be something small"
"What does Alice say about that?" I wondered raising an eyebrow, they both sighed
"She's trying to guilt trip Bella into letting her plan our wedding" Edward explained
"If you let her, I totally want to help in some way" I decided "I mean I'm gonna need something to do now that school's out" Bella sighed
"I don't think you'd be able to keep up with her" she grinned
"I can try" I shrugged.
"Cat" Jacob called, I checked the time and grinned
"Hang on" I called back "Time to go"
"Wont you stay?" Bella asked
"No, I'm not good at missing out, and then listening to everyone talk about it afterwards" I admitted "But I promise I'll be fine. Sophie too, everyone's gonna be looking out for the two of us because they can't stop thinking we're weak and incapable" I sent an annoyed look at Edward before hugging Bella again "Congrats, it's so exciting. And I bags a invite, whether you like it or not" Bella groaned and I grinned at her.
"What about…" Bella looked at the tent wall
"I wont tell him" I said ever so quietly "That's your job" I looked at them both "I don't know how he'll react though…" I thought. If Jacob found out his best friend was marrying a vampire… "I don't think he'll be happy" I sighed "Plus it means one step closer to your deadline, which will make him worse" I added quietly
"How are you okay with that?" Edward asked, appalled
"It's her wish. Plus if she's immortal and unbreakable, we no longer have to worry about her getting killed" I admitted. I smiled at them both before unzipping the tent and leaving it. I found Jacob near the thicker part of trees and wrapped my arms around his waist
"Shall we?" I grinned, he smiled at me, but there was something… wrong. I released him and stood in front of him, examining his expression "What's up?"
"What were you whispering about?" he asked curiously
"Couldn't your ears hear us?" I grinned, he rolled his eyes and the look that I loved reappeared in his eyes "Just something Bella did, I kind of over heard them talking and interrupted… I don't think I was supposed to hear it actually" I suddenly felt a little bad, I knew Bella, she didn't like celebrations and she didn't like being the centre of attention… plus Alice was trying to guilt trip her into letting her plan the wedding. Obviously Bella wouldn't want a huge fuss about her wedding, that was probably why I had found out by accidentally ears dropping instead of them telling me. I sighed. Jacob looked at me worried
"Hey, you alright?" he asked, I I thought but then grinned
"Yeah, now, let's go kill some things", he looked at me shocked before he let out a huge sigh and smirked
"What did I ever do to deserve you?" he wondered
"You looked at me" I reminded him
"I wonder who decides fate, because I'd love to thank him" he leaned down and kissed me passionately, I kissed him back before pulling away
"We've been delaying, come on, I don't wanna miss out!" I complained before turning and leaving him. He followed after a few minutes and phased — at some point because when I turned around he was a wolf — behind me. I swung up gracefully onto his back and he sped off. He ran pretty fast, I wasn't sure if it was his fastest or if he was just trying to show off how good he was. I smirked, he'd never beat me no matter how fast he was, it was impossible to run at the speed of light unless you had the power of light, otherwise, you would just deteriorate or something. The wind whipped at me as he ran, hoping not to miss out on anything, I totally agreed, and I could run ahead of him and get there before him but I thought that was probably mean so I bared with it and decided to be patient … which was actually proven to be rather difficult.
Third Person POV.
The Cullens stood in the clearing, Sophie was standing further in front of them. She was controlling the wind, blowing her scent towards where the vampires were coming from.
"Cat, I need you down here, we need to attract them towards us…" Sophie called out
"But… Jacob's just as impatient, that's so mean to leave. He will miss out on the beginning, while I get to enjoy it from start to finish" Cat answered from a few miles off
"Tell him I threatened you" Sophie shrugged. Cat sighed
"Sophie needs me to hurry. I'm sorry Jake" she said, Jacob whimpered as Cat leaned forwards, she kissed the top of both his ears, kissed his shoulders and stroked his head before she swung her leg over and jumped off his back. Cat landed cat-like before she zoomed off past him. Jacob immediately pushed himself forwards. Cat appeared next to Sophie, taking her sisters hand in her own. The twins glanced at one another and smiled. Cat felt the vibrations, feeling the newborns running through the trees towards the clearing. They suddenly all stopped before the vampires split up, half of them going around to try and surprise the waiting company, just as Alice had predicted. Sophie blew a huge gust of wind and the twins' scent was blown towards the oncoming attackers. The newborns immediately began to speed up after smelling their blood, their hunting instincts doing exactly what Jasper had said. The smell of the blood trail lead them straight to the clearing. The newborns suddenly burst out of the trees, their teeth bared as they snarled
"Why don't you go first?" Sophie offered Cat. Cat grinned and raised her hand, suddenly, behind her, a huge serpent made out of flames appeared, the vampires didn't even halt at the sight of it, their first mistake. The snake slithered over the grass, not even burning it, as it moved towards the newborn army. The closest vampire looked like it was actually gonna try and attack the fire snake but the snake arched its body and snapped down on the vampire, supposedly swallowing it whole. The only thing let was a pile of stinking flames. The vampires all stopped and stared, surprised and confused. The snake vanished, leaving a heavy impression on the newborns. Sophie raised her hand next, suddenly one of the vampires smashed into little pieces, Cat clicked her finger and each piece ignited on fire. Two more exploded and the same thing happened before the twins turned to the Cullens, they were looking at the two amazed. The newborns got over their sudden amazement and ran at the twins, both flipped out of the way and the Cullens engaged also. Suddenly there were vampire pieces flying everywhere, arms, hands, legs, heads, fingers etc. It seemed a majority of the newborns were, obviously, engrossed in the scent of the twins, as a result, they were getting most of the action. The sudden sound of growls erupted within the clearing and another heap of vampires rushed in along with the wolves. Now there was flashes of colours moving throughout the clearing, a few random flames where flickering on the ground. None of them spread, they just burned a purple colour and set off a awful smell. Alice, Cat, Sophie and Leah were the fastest ones in the clearing, the way Cat and Leah worked together was surprising. If Cat saw a piece of vampire on the ground, even out of the corner of her eye — and there were a lot because Sophie was crushing and exploding them all — they burst into flames and prevented the monsters from reassembling themselves and coming back to life. Cat had about five newborns lunging at her neck but not a single one was able to make contact, her punches and kicks were so strong that they ripped the vampires apart and punched holes through their hard bodies. Sophie was dancing, her movements were fluid and graceful as she ducked, leaned and dodged the basic, obvious attacks of the newborns. Her attacks didn't have such a strong, physical effect on the vampires as Cat's did, but, when ever Sophie made contact with one of the vampires, icicles spiked out of the vampires body in the place she touched them. After that the vampire was basically paralysed as the ice slowly moved through their body and freezing them from the inside before they smashed into pieces. Occasionally she would just rip the limbs off and throw them away. Alice was using her future visions to see the oncoming attacks on her, the wolves were doing exceptional — that was to be expected as it was their job to hunt vampires. Jacob finally arrived, the second he got there he jumped straight onto the closest vampire. He looked around, immediately looking for Cat, she was dancing around, throwing vampire bodies and body pieces, but what surprised Jacob the most was the smile on her face as she flipped and jumped around. She jumped up and Sophie grabbed her wrist, swung her around and kicked off the heads of about four vampires in one shot. Sophie practically threw Cat who landed on her hands and wrapped her legs around a vampire, twisting its head off and throwing it's head across the clearing before landing right back on her feet again.
"Show off" Sophie thought
"Yeah, now it's your turn" Cat smirked. Sophie didn't need telling twice, she did a flip, jumped upwards and did a handstand on a vampire's shoulders, she twisted its shoulders, broke its hips and ripped it's head off before falling, feet first straight onto another vampire that was now heading towards her, kicking it's head off like it was a football. It didn't stop there, a huge wave of something washed out of her and waved over all the newborns around her; they all smashed and crashed and broke — into such small pieces you couldn't even see them — all simultaneously.
"Beat that" Sophie taunted. Cat, who had jumped into the air, rolled her eyes
"I need you to lift everyone off the ground first" Cat said, Sophie nodded and turned to Embry who was near her, she did a flip over his back and whispered in his ear, as a result all of the wolves now knew. The Cullens on the other hand were more difficult, Cat was running around warning them all before suddenly all the wolves, Cullens, Sophie and Cat were floating in the air, the newborns were looking up at them all completely confused. Cat suddenly dropped down, Jacob whined and growled in worry. When Cat hit the ground, she didn't stop or jump back up, she smashed into the ground like it was a trampoline. A wave spread out in a circle from Cat. Every newborn was thrown around, knocked off balance or even flew through the air. The ground shook, and in the same second several roots grew out of the ground and grabbed the flying newborns. They ripped them apart and, while still holding the body pieces, the roots bursted into flames. Everyone was lowered back onto the ground with the remaining vampires. They all launched at Cat angrily before the others even touched the ground. Cat easily danced her way out of their grip but another suddenly jumped on her from out of no where, it had it's arms around her. Jacob growled and ran towards them, if he was human, he might have been paralysed with worry. Cat made eye contact with him for a second
"Stop" she said softly, Jacob stopped frozen before Cat's expression turned sour and dangerous, her eyes went as red as the vampire's and her hair went a flame orange before it bursted into flames. Her entire body was completely surrounded in fire, the vampire igniting also. It screamed out in pain as it released her and crumbled to the ground as a pile of ashes. Leah, Quil, Alice and Jasper got the last few before suddenly the fight was all over, the fire around Cat slowly dispersed and she sighed happily.
"Well that was fun" she said looking around
"Are you alright?" Sophie asked approaching her, Cat looked down but when she raised her arm she winced
"I think he might had cracked my arm, might have broken it but I'll be fine in a few minutes" Cat shrugged as if it was nothing. Jacob was by her side, his head lowered to her level "I'm good, thanks for worrying" she said petting him with her good arm. She suddenly moaned in pain and they all heard a crack as her arm fixed. She held it with her other arm as Jacob whined and whimpered.
"I'm good. Jeez," she breathed, she moved her shoulder "That feels better" she muttered to herself.
"How's Bella holding up?" Sophie wondered, changing the subject.
"The Red headed leech found them" Embry answered as he walked towards her, still as the grey wolf with black spots on his back. Sophie patted his head
"Are they alright?" Cat wondered
"Edward ash-ed the red head and Seth ripped apart her friend" Embry informed
"Nice Job" Cat smirked "Bet Seth enjoyed that"
"Are they alright?" Carlisle wondered, not being able to hear the wolves thoughts
"Yeah. Good thing Seth was up there, he helped Edward out with Victoria" Sophie smiled
"Are they alright?" Esme repeated, worried
"Bella purposely cut herself but otherwise they're all fine" Cat shrugged.
"Why did she cut herself?" Alice asked
"To distract Victoria, she thought Seth was in deadly trouble and she didn't know if Edward was winning or loosing because her eyes couldn't keep up with their speed." Cat began
"So, she made herself bleed to distract Victoria or her puppet long enough for Seth and Edward to win. She kind of disadvantaged them but it ended up alright" Sophie finished. Cat turned around and looked towards the trees
"What's wrong Cat?" Alice asked noticing the confused expression on her face
"Did we kill them all?" Cat questioned
"We killed all of our share" Carlisle assured, they looked at the wolves and Quil, who had walked over to them, nodded.
"Why?" Esme wondered, Cat looked away from them and was about to answer when the question was answered for her. A newborn vampire emerged from the trees, having hidden there sometime during the fight. Leah growled and ran towards it
"Leah!" Cat called, worried. They watched as Leah lunged at the vampire, but her approach was obvious, which was exactly what he was expecting. The two rolled around on the ground for a minute before he punched her, kicked her to the ground and picked her up again, his arms around her neck, threatening to crush it. Jacob was suddenly gone from Cat's side, running towards the two.
"Jake, wait!" Sophie called, Cat was too stunned to even react. Jacob rammed the vampire, sending Leah sliding along the grass also. Jacob and the newborn tumbled, Jacob snapped at him, the newborn punched him and they heard a crack. The newborn used Jacob's vulnerability and grabbed Jacob around the middle. A number of huge cracks rang throughout the clearing and Jacob's whimpering howl ripped through the otherwise silent air. The vampire released Jacob who collapsed to the ground, still whimpering. The pack all ran for the stray newborn, but no one got close enough to the vampire before there was a sudden flash of light. When it disappeared, the vampire collapsed to the ground, a huge, round, hole in the very centre of it's chest. The ground was upturned in a line. Everyone followed the line to see Cat holding her arm out straight, her face was covered in pain, tears were falling down her cheeks. The left over body of the newborn suddenly ignited with white hot flames. Jacob was lying on the ground, the pain caused several whines to escape his mouth, his big brown eyes were clouded with pain. The wolves all phased in the trees before rushing over to Jacob. Cat was already by his side before anyone could even blink, Carlisle was also next to him, examining his body.
"Jake" Cat cried, Jacob whined "Shhh" she shushed him. Embry was next to Sophie, his arms wrapped around her tightly as she, internally, freaked out. Quil was next to Cat, trying to sooth her, she was so concentrated on Jacob that she hardly noticed him. Though Cat tried to smile, the tears would not stop pouring down her face.
"Most of the bones on the right half of his body are shattered." Carlisle examined "Though I can't do anything while he's in this form. I've never been to veterinarian school"
"Guess that's your next hobby" Sophie managed to say, trying to make her sister smile again. Cat was to absorbed on Jacob, he was looking straight at her, whining. Cat was looking over his body, she was using the electric signals in his body to find the extent of the damage.
"H-h-he's already h-h-healing" she managed to choke out, everyone looked at her
"If he heals like that, his bones might not set right" Sophie realised
"Jake y-y-y-you've gotta ch-ch-change b-b-b-back" Cat told him, he whined, the pain he was currently feeling was nothing compared to seeing Cat in so much pain, crying so hard she couldn't even talk straight.
"You're never this vulnerable. What happened to my raging fire" he thought, she actually smiled, hearing his thoughts
"Sorry" she muttered, stroking the side of his face as he whined again.
"Cat, you've gotta leave" Alice told her. Cat looked at her, Sophie too, with confusion. "The Volturi's coming" she informed them
"They wont honour a truce with the werewolves" Carlisle explained, Cat managed to nod and Quil helped her to her feet.
"You need to go too" Alice told her comfortingly "Not only do you need to be with him —" she indicated to Jacob "— but you also can't meet the Volturi, they'll think you're human and threaten the same thing to you as they did to Bella"
"It'll only cause inconvenience" Sophie nodded understanding.
"We'll take him back to Billy's" Sam said
"I'll come as soon as I can" Carlisle promised. The pack crowded around Jacob, they very carefully and gently lifted him up and carried him out of the clearing. Quil held Cat, ribbing her shoulder while Embry didn't release Sophie for even a mili second.
"Will you guys be alright?" Sophie asked Esme, she smiled
"We'll be fine. Promise" she hugged Sophie and then walked over to Cat "He'll he fine. Don't you worry dear" she said hugging her
"Thanks Esme." Cat sobbed "Good luck" she managed to give a weak smile before the four of them left the clearing, following the rest of the pack. Jacob's whimpers and whines could be heard from miles off, Cat sobbed and flinched every time she heard it. Eventually Quil ended up picked her up and carrying her, she was stumbling and wobbling, making ir unable for her to walk straight.
