So sorry about the wait. I have been bogged down with a lot of work, so I haven't had much time to write. I also had some writer's block with this part of the story because I've got a lot of ideas, but I don't know which ones to use and/or how to get to them cause some will be set later in the story if I do use them. Shout-out to E.L. Girralo, MarionettesVoice, FrozenTundraWolf, HerobrinePrime01, scolter123, and Adby1 for favoriting and/or following my story! On with the story!

Wolves are the biggest pains.
I was sound asleep until my phone rang and my hand flailed around my nightstand as I tried to grab the infernal device. You could easily hear the sleep in my voice as I answered, "Hullo?"
One eye cracked open to glance at my alarm clock and saw it was about 4 in the morning, "Hey, angel. Sorry about calling you so early. Just wanted to let you know that Elita is on her way and she'll be there later tonight. I won't be able to talk to you for a couple days, we're being sent out and I'll be out of contact. I love you and I'll see you at Christmas."
I said good bye and hung up before what he said dawned on me and I sat straight up, "Wait, what?!" Immediately covering my mouth at my outburst, I waited for anybody to check on me before I painfully got to my feet and proceeded to collapse when my leg wouldn't support me. I was hoping it would have been feeling a little better from the rest, but apparently not.
I groaned as I pulled myself into a sitting person, Edward? You here? It wasn't long before the vampire appeared and I gave a sheepish grin while lifting my arms up as he shook his head at me.
He carefully pulled me up before setting me back in my bed, "Was there anything else you needed or was that it?"
I bit my lip for a second before finally asking, "What is the deal between you guys and the wolves? I mean, I know you guys are enemies, but can't you guys work together nowadays? We aren't in the Dark Ages anymore."
He stared at me for a couple minutes as if pondering what he should answer and part of me began wondering if I had offended him with my question. I opened my mouth to apologize, but he spoke before I could, "That would be a better question for Carlisle. He would be happy to discuss it with you."
Nodding, I questioned when I could speak with him, "He can come by now and talk with you before he goes to the hospital. I'll go call him."
He disappeared and it wasn't long before the blond vampire was in my bedroom, "Good morning, Katherine. Edward said you wished to speak to me."
I smiled as he walked over at a human pace, "Hey, Carlisle. Yeah, um, I get that vampires and werewolves are enemies, but why don't you guys cooperate and work together? It is the 21st century and it isn't like you guys are normal vampires," I paused as he chuckled with me, "Never thought I'd consider vampires normal."
Then again, I consider aliens my family, I shook the thought away as I turned my attention back to the head of the Cullen family as he thought about what I had said. I could feel his sincerity as he finally spoke, "I would love to become friends and allies with the wolves, but I will respect the wolves and not try to change the treaty. They would never consider it."
I tilted my head as I thought a little bit about my status and questioned, "What if there was someone that could get them to consider the idea?"
He gave me a small smile, "While she may be able to, we would never ask Bella to do that for us. She has already done so much."
I shook my head, "Not her. Me. I can get them to consider it." His eyes snapped to attention, "How would you do that, Katherine?"
Hesitating, I thought about whether I should tell him or not because I was never told not to tell anyone, but I didn't want to betray the pack's trust. I eventually came to a decision, "I can't tell you that, Carlisle. One day, but not now. Just know that I can get them to consider it if you would like me to."
He studied me and I kept his gaze to let him see the guilt I felt at not telling him, but the promise I would eventually, "I will respect your privacy as long as it doesn't harm you. If you could get Sam to consider the idea, then do as you wish. We will not put the burden on your shoulders." I nodded with a smile and he left to get to work as I threw myself backwards onto my pillows, Never thought I would actually want to go to school.
Once everyone was gone, Chromia formed her holoform in my bedroom and, after helping me change into a Star Wars shirt and Batman sweats, helped me over to my piano, so that I could practice a little while being stuck at home. I happened to glance out of my bedroom window and gasped when I saw the large wolf watching me from the forest, "What the ****?" I grabbed my crutches before rushing down the stairs and out the back door as Chromia tried to stop me.
Slowly hobbling my way forward, I got closer to the wolf as it eased its way out of the shadows of the forest. It was a giant black wolf that stood taller than me as my head reached about the middle of its chest. I stared into the eyes as it stared right back at me, but the eyes seemed so familiar, and I whispered, "Sam?" I could see the lips curl up in a wolfish smile while bobbing its head in a nod, "Whoa."
I leaned a little too much on my leg and began to fall, but Sam quickly caught me on his shoulder, Be careful.
I jolted in shock, "Did you just speak?"
He eyed me quizzically, You can hear me? I nodded with wide eyes, I will need to speak to the elders about this. Wolves communicate telepathically with each other when in this form, but I didn't know you would hear us. You will always have a guard outside your home and we will try to watch you as best as we can when you're in town.
I went to argue, but he ran off before I could and I groaned, Stupid *** wolves. I don't need their protection. I've got Mia and Elita, not to mention Edward cause he's always here.
I grumbled to myself as I slowly made my way back inside and Chromia helped me back up to my bed, "Why didn't you come outside?"
She eased me down onto the mattress as she thought about her answer, "I knew that wolf wouldn't harm you. The look in his eyes was pure protection, no malice or anger towards you, so I knew you would be safe." I nodded in understanding and was inwardly grateful that she hadn't asked me to explain why I was talking to a wolf.
We remained quiet as we watched some movies on my laptop and she disappeared when the front door opened and a voice called up, "Hey, Alley Cat!" I tilted my head in slight puzzlement and saw it was about 5 P.M., but I hadn't heard or seen Bella come back and she was almost always here before her dad.
My uncle opened my door and stood in the doorway with a smile, "Someone is here to see you." He moved to show a lady that looked almost exactly like Chromia, but her brown hair had pink streaks and she seemed much gentler. However, I knew that there was a strong fury and need to protect her loved ones underneath her gentleness for this was none other than Elita. I grinned and lunged up before stumbling into her arms as she caught me. We hugged tightly before she carried me to my bed after my uncle had left the room, "Thank you so much for coming. I have Mia, but she can't be in here in case someone comes in when I wake up."
She smiled as she settled beside me and wrapped her arm around my shoulders, "It is no problem, Kat. If there was any chance I would be able to help you, then I was going to come."
We sat chatting for a while until Bella suddenly burst in, "Kat! There's a pink motorcycle in th-" she stopped as suddenly as she started, "Oh, I can see you already found out. Hi, I'm Bella."
Elita stood up and shook hands with my cousin, "Elita Prime. I'm a family friend. My husband and I work with William."
Bella nodded, "Um, you look like that Michelle lady that was here a while ago."
I spoke up this time, so that Elita wouldn't have to say anything that wouldn't go with what my dad and I had said back when I was in the hospital after getting shot, "They're sisters, triplets actually. And that was Mia. They work with my dad, their husbands, and their sister."
My cousin looked like she understood, but sometimes you can't be too sure. She quickly left to leave Elita and I to our privacy and my uncle brought up a box of cheese pizza with black olives about a hour later for us to eat. Elita was able to eat two slices before her holoform would start having issues, so I finished off the rest of the pizza on my own. She made a comment about my stress levels and about the wolf I had gone outside to that she had heard about from Chromia. I stared at my lap for a minute before looking up at her with a serious gaze, "I think I'm in over my head, Elita."
