Chapter 10: Red Their Rights
The run to billy Black's house took longer than it should because my left shoulder still hurt. Every step sent numbing prickling pain up my nervous system in my shoulder which is one of the reasons I left Edythe so quickly as to not show her how much pain I'm in for saving her.
45 mines later I arrive at the Black's property. I did not sense any Quileute Wolfs roaming the area.
The house was small with a separate barn that is being used as a workshop garage. Parked at the house were two old trucks one red and the other tan. The Forks police cruiser was also parked at the end of the driveway.
I started toward the front door shifting my form to 2′8″ tall with my natural colored fur and eyes back to their Dark Indigo and glowing Violet swirling background.
The house does have a doorbell. I placed my paws on the door and stood on my hind legs to hit the button with my nose. The button did nothing. I could not hear it ring in the house, all I could hear is the people inside talking.
"That would be great Billy, Isabella has been talking about moving in with me to let Ranay travel, I think she would prefer to have her own vehicle to get to school than me dropping her off in a police car."
"It's the least I can do, I know we have had a disagreement on something recently but it would be right to take it out on Isabella, I would like to put it behind us."
I listened for a bit of their back force before I figured out it was Chief Swan of the Forks police force.
Now that I'm back to living in the area it's best to tell the heads of the human law enforcement I'm back, Deputy Marks has already seen me in my true Lycan form during the last supermoon.
I even told him that I am the Wolf Guardian and that if he doesn't believe me he should look into the myths and legends surrounding a palace called the Wolf House. He decided not to shoot me and just backed away and left.
On the porch I turned and used my tail to knock on the door, the voice stopped and footsteps approached the door. The door opens wide with a man in a police uniform with C. Swan written on it standing there.
Before Chief Swan could react to my presence and close the door or yell out I pushed my head against the door and entered the house.
Sniffing the air inside I head for a man in a wheelchair, I hear Chief Swan pull out his gun and aim it at me.
"Billy, look out, a wolf has entered the house and is heading for you. Cover your ears, I'm going to shoot." there was fear in the Chief's voice, I heard the click of the safety on the gun.
I was not worried about getting shot with a normal bullet, it would sting like a human getting hit by a golf ball from getting hit by a driver, into their back.
It would be different if the round was HE (High Explosive), but there is no way a small town police Chief would have that loaded in his gun. The round did not smell like it was HE, just an SP (Soft Point) round that would bounce off my skin leaving a bruise at this range.
The hammer was pulled back on the pistol when Billy spoke "Charlie, wait do not shoot the wolf."
"What, you do not want me to shoot a dangerous wolf stalking towards you?"
Billy sighed as I came up and sat in front of him, he looked at me with an angry expression on his face.
I could tell he wanted to yell at me for coming and letting a non-tribesman see me. He of course could not tell me off, either because he thought it would be best to tell his friend I was a spirit Wolf or because he had no authority over me.
"Charlie, I need to speak with the spirit Wolf, Could you wait outside?" Chief Swan still had his gun pointed at me, I heard him taking a breath to tell Billy something but I spoke to both of them.
"(Red) That gun will not be necessary Chief Swan, I'm not here to bite anyone just some growling. I will introduce myself since Mr. Black is not going to, you may have heard of me now, as the Wolf Guardian by your colleague and some of the young folk around Forks. My name is Grand Alpha Wolf Guardian, but I prefer to go by Red nowadays."
Billy did not say anything but Chief Swan spoke. "Red, Deputy Marks said he saw something in the woods and he wanted to know if I have heard anything about a place called The Wolf House. "
Billy made a gasping noise and glared at me. I turned my head a little, Chief Swan was still pointing his gun at me but he no longer looked to shoot me without reason.
"I looked into it after Marks mentioned he may have seen a large wolf. What I found is that the reason it is illegal to shoot wolves in the area is because of a creature called the Shadow Wolf that would disguise itself as a normal Forks wolf. Hunters who would kill wolves for their fur or just wanted to kill something became fearful they would shoot one of the Wolf gods that live here."
"Wolf gods?" Billy said in a question. "Yes, in the legend two wolf gods lived here, one referred to as all Black and his soul mate all White."
"Aw, some of our legends tell that the Wolf god all Black came to this world and fell in love with mortal Grand Timber Wolf, he spent her mortal life here and when she died made her his immortal mate."
Billy then looked at me. "Some of their children still live." Chief Swan's eyes got wide with a shocked expression. "You can't be a, what are you?"
I glared at Billy, I do not like others knowing who my parents are, but I guess he is getting back at me for speaking to his friend openly.
"(Red) Chief Swan, I'm one of their first children, my brother Lycaon you may have heard of in legends. I'm what you humans refer to as a Demigod and if you have not figured it out I'm what you mortal have named the Shadow Wolf in the past."
"If your brother was Lycano then you're a Werewolf. How old are you then?"
"(Red) Chief Swan, I do not tell people how old I am and I came here to discuss some things with Mr. Black. You are welcome to say and listen. I would appreciate it if you did not point your gun at me. It won't do you any good against me but it will make me feel better."
Chief Swan lowered his gun but did not put the safety back on or holster it. "[I'm guessing I would need silver bullets.]"
I was not going to tell him that the silver burning Werewolf was a myth we made up for humans.
"I will stay and listen to what you have to say. Chief Swan said just as the front door opened and Jacob's voice came down the short hallway.
"Dad, did a package come for me? Oh hey Charlie, why do you have your gun out?"
Chief Swan spoke up first "Jacob you need to go it dangerous, please go back outside."
I spoke so everyone in the room could hear me. "(Red) Hello Jacob, it's great that you are here it makes this easier to get to the point of my visit.
Billy finally spoke up. "Fine, tell us why you are here and why it could not wait until after Charlie left." Chief Swan huffed something about secrets.
I did not want to make Billy angrier and give away my name to Chief Swan so I decided to leave them out.
"(Red) One of the young Wolfs crossed the border into neutral territory and attacked someone. I of course intervened and stopped the attack, but when I spoke to the young one they would not listen. They were adamant that they kill the monster and I had to use my Alpha authority to force them back here."
Billy's face went white, he was staring at me, his eyes wide with terror. "Billy, what is wrong, what does it mean when Red said a young Wolf attacked someone? Billy still could not speak a word so Chief Swan turned on me and asked the question.
Jacob walked around me to his dad and touched his arm. He also turned towards me. "Red, What do you mean by this?
"(Red) The person, the young Wolf attached is another Supernatural being and is subject to the decree that prevents one Supernatural being from attacking another without provocation. Breaking this means the attacked can kill the other without consequence and the ones in charge of the aggressor will be held accountable by the highest ranked person outside of the pack. That person would be the Wolf Guardian."
Now Jacob looked terrified of what this meant for the tribe. I watch Chief Swan swing his head from looking at Jacob and Billy to me. He looked a little pale too.
"I may not understand all of what is going on but I know what a decree is and it doesn't sound good for my friends. I would like to know, Red what you are going to do to my friends for what a young Wolf has done."
"(Red) I am here to call a meeting tonight to go over the rules with all the members of the tribe, young and old. It seemed the young one did not understand the rules so I'm going to go over them with everyone. Since the other party was not injured and I have talked to their leader about this, they will make sure none of their coven will take action against your friends."
Chief Swan looked to relax "Ok if all you're doing is going over the laws you people have then I do not have a problem with it, I would like to attend this meeting.
"(Red) I'm sorry Chief Swan, I'm able to tell you about myself but sharing secrets that are not mine to tell is different. You would need the elder's permission and the pack Alpha's permission to attend.
Chief Swan looked at Billy will at the same time putting his gun's safety back on and holstering it.
Jacob bent down and spoke into Billy's ear. "[ I would like Charlie to attend the meeting, when Red first appeared to me he called me Alpha Black. Which means I'm the pack Alpha and would like Charlie to know. Like Red said I would also need your permission and the others from his to come.]"
"[I do not know Jacob if they will agree I have wanted to tell Charlie for so long but the rules say we can not tell anyone but our imprints.]"
"(Red) I could run over to their houses and ask them for their vote." I said this will give Billy a toothy grin. "That will not be necessary I will just call them and ask."
"(Red) Ok, I will be listening since I can not talk out loud in this form. I will be making sure you mention that I'm here and would like Chief Swan to attend the meeting. Jacob last time we met I had a vision I need to find a girl named Emily or someone named Leah."
Billy pulled out his cell and started dialing. "Emily is Leah's cuisine. She lives in Neah Bay and Leah lives here in La Push."
"(Red) That is good, Leah will be attending the meeting."
I said this as a statement with no argument. According to my vision, Leah and her cuisine are in danger from the Wolfs this gives me precedence to inform them of the danger.
Billy tried to say no, but I glared at him and growled menacingly and he closed his mouth.
"Jacob, could you help me set up a conference call? So we can talk to everyone at once."
"Yes, dad." Jacob took the phone and in a minute had it set up. "Here you go"
Billy spoke a little too loudly "You are all on speaker, I have my son Jacob, Charlie, and Alpha Red with me.'' The line went silent after my name was said. Then one of the people on the phone spoke.
"Billy you set up a call with all of us, this is not something you have ever done and to have the Red Alpha with you means something is wrong."
Billy seems to brace himself to tell the bad news. "Red has informed me that one of the young has changed and crossed into the neutral territory."
The line was suddenly clambering with voices demanding to know what happened and who had changed and if they were alright. Once the clammer slowed down Billy continued his tail.
"Please let me finish and you can ask questions later." The phone went silent then. "I do not know the identity of the one who changed. They crossed the border and attacked someone, the Guardian was there and put a stop to it. He then ordered the young one back to La Push and came to my house to inform me of this development."
Billy ended it there to let the others ask some questions. "What did the human see did they tell the authority about being attacked by an oversized wolf."
Chief Swan looked me up and down. "What do you mean by an oversized wolf? He had a confused expression on his face.
I looked around the room for an open spot it would be better to show than tell. "(Red) Chief Swan, remember the legends say the Shadow Wolf can alter his appearance to look like a normal wolf. This is not my true Wolf form. If you promise not to freak out I will show you my true Wolf form.
Chief Swan nodded his head. "Yes, show me I promise not to pull out my gun or anything."
I stepped back into the clear spot and shifted my form growing from 2′8″ to 6′.
Chief Swan reeled back, his eyes widened. "This is how big the young wolf is?"
"(Red) No, the young one is a bit taller than I am, by a good 3 or 4 inches."
I shrank back down to 2′8″ to fit in the room better. When I was bigger I glared at Billy wanting him to tell the other that it was not a human that was attacked.
Billy spoke into the phone "Well the person attacked was not human, it was a Supernatural creature, I mean being" he switched his statement when I started growling at him.
"So one of the young ones tried to kill a monster, what should this concern us about?" someone said from the other side of the line in a snobby way.
I got so angry my fangs slid out and my claws extended into the wood floor. A *Crunching* could be heard as the stuff around me began to flatten as if gravity had increased.
Chief Swan moved away from me over to Billy. "What is happening?" as some of the full beer cans began exploding from the force.
Billy shouted into the phone " YOU, STUPID IDIOT THE GUARDIAN CAN HEAR YOU. You all know what the war between his kind and the other did. That statement says we do not care if another one breaks out."
"What happened in the war, may I ask." Chief Swan said to Billy. I was calming down and answered his question.
"(Red) a long time ago the humans and Fae were allies. When the more powerful of my kind referred to as first, second, and third levels are young they can not control the transformation. Places are set up to train them, the Olympic Nasion park is one of them. Humans like to take over land and they wanted one of these restricted zones, they sent in a Grim to kill the Werewolfs that were there for their first transformation. The Guardian at the time convinced the Grim to let the young Werewolf finish their training and no new Wolfs would be brought in. The land would be free after that, but humans did not really want the land; they wanted the Werewolfs dead. They convince the Fae we were unruly monsters and the Fae made the humans weapons with runes on them to burn and slow our healing ability. We retaliated after the human killed the young ones and the instructors.
That is what the Lord wanted us to retaliate, in order to convent the Fae to help the humans hunt us. The Fae made currency for the humans to pass around, this coin was used as the standard, any old coin was replaced. This new coin had runes embossed on them so when we would touch the coin it would burn the runes into our flesh. It would hurt so badly, the only way to get rid of it was to slice off the section of flesh.
We went into hiding and the Vampires started picking us off. They started collecting the runed coins and weapons to kill us.
Chief Swan to basically answer your question you are more likely to run it a Dragon Heir, Fae, or Vampire than a Werewolf.
My family, are all dead because of the war with the humans and Fae, the Fae found out later that they had been lied to and tried to apologize but it's too late.
I am the last of the first level wolf descendants. For this group of humans to say it's great that one of their own who inherited their power to start a conflict. One that would not dirty their own hands."
Chief Swan had an angry expression on his face after my tail. His voice was choked up trying not to cry. "That is an awful thing to say, this Wolf has lived through the slaughter of his kin and you praise one of your own for starting up another conflict."
The phone went silent after Chief Swan's outburst at their behavior. Bill was not saying anything so Charlie stepped up to the phone and spoke. "The wolf has demanded a meeting with all of the tribe, young and old, to receive punishment for breaking a decree that the supernatural community have. He also likes you to know I will be attending the meeting as will Leah Clearwater. This meeting will happen tonight."
Before the others could say their objections Chief Swan grabbed the phone and hung up on all of them.
The started ringing still clutched in Chief Swan's hand. "It's Harry Clearwater, probably wanted to know why his daughter is attending the meeting."
"(Red) You should answer it. Leah coming to the meeting is important to her safety. Just remind him that I'm listening and not to make any rude comments."
Chief Swan nodded his head and answered the phone. "Hello Harry, I was told to inform you not to say anything insensitive with the Guardian listening."
"Charlie, can you tell me what happened after the meathead made that comment." I nodded my head yes as Chief Swan looked at me.
"Ok, so Alpha Red as he is called, his tail started swinging angrily, then sharp lang white fangs came out from top and bottom of his mouth and his claw sank into the wood floor."
"Did anything else strange happen when he got angry?"
"Yes, the air around him shimmered like water droplets freezing midair, like we used to do with hot water on the coldest day. The empty beer cans are now squashed flat, like a press did it."
"You did not get hurt from it?" "No, What was it?"
"I can not tell you, you will have to ask the Guardian that. I'm calling because I would like to know why my daughter is attending the meeting but not my son?"
Chief Swan looked at me for the answer. "(Red) Chief Swan, tell him I want all the members of the pack present, even the young ones who have not changed. Tell him I want his daughter there because it has to do with her safety and I will tell them both more at the meeting."
Chief Swan relayed what I said in his own words. "Ok, I understand I will inform the others of who he wants at the meeting. I will tell them that you are coming at the Guardian's request and they can just bark at a tree." there was a pause, then Mr. Clearwater spoke "Charlie, do you know what the punishment is for breaking the decree?"
"Yes, he told me it was to inform you and the younger members of the rules set by the Supernatural community."
"No, Charlie breaking this decree is serious if any of us disregard the rules or say anything that makes him believe we will not follow them. He has the authority to execute the offender and hold us responsible, he can have us stripped of our heritage, we would no longer be able to inherit the power of the wolf."
Chief Swan gave me a look before talking back to the phone. "Are the rules hard to follow then?" "Well not really it is just many about not attacking another Supernatural being without reason. You probably will hear this at the meeting.
About three hundred years ago Vampires decided it was best to wipe their existence from human knowledge. They started collecting books and drawing of their existence but this was not enough. Some tribes still had the knowledge to hurt and fend them off.
So their leader created a large army of new Vampires and had them find anyone that knew about them and kill the family.
The Vampires kill a family of Supernatural beings, the family was Fae and their daughter was soul mates with a Dragon Heir. The Fae and especially the Dragons were enraged, killing their young is taboo in all races.
The Dragons, Fae, and Wolfs laid waste to the new army and forced the Vampires to sign an agreement or be destroyed. This is the decree that one of ours broke. If the head of the one attacked reports us and the other see that the Wolf Guardian did not do anything to punish us. The Dragon Guardian would step in, he is one to be feared."
I did not want Mr. Clearwater giving away some secrets and I was going to go over this with all of them at the meeting so I spoke up. "(Red) Chief Swan, it's not good to go over all this on the phone. Tell Clearwater to inform the other of the meeting at 20:00 tonight."
"Harry, Alpha Red said not to talk over the phone about this and for you to start informing the others about the meeting at 20:00 tonight."
"Ok, Charlie I will see you tonight, by.
~Time Jump~
I left Mr. Black's house first and arrived first at the meeting place. The same place I introduced myself to Jacob on the 7th which was Wednesday night.
I sat in the woods thinking of the best way to introduce myself and which form I should take. I wanted to be intimidating but not give them all a heart attack or get shot by Chief Swan, so I shifted to my full 6′ Wolf form. I showed him early with my natural eye and fur color.
Waiting an hour for all the people to arrive while hiding in the shadows of the trees.
"This is everyone, we are just waiting for the Wolf Guardian to make his appearance." Said Billy Black from his wheelchair next to the fire they were building.
The party considered of old and young human men with one teenage girl sitting next to Harry Clearwater and a young boy that look like Mr. Clearwater. While the group was arguing about letting Leah and Charlie attend, I moved around to come up behind Leah and sat just over her left shoulder.
Taking a breath I took in her scent and it reminded me of someone from a long time ago. The group of men across from Leah saw me and fell silent, with their silence everyone quiet and stared at me.
"Why are you all staring at me? I was told I had to come here and speak to someone about Sam's disappearance." Leah said still not noticing I was behind her.
When she was speaking I figured out where this scent is from and I smiled with fangs making the others nervous. Then I spoke so everyone could hear me.
"(Red) Hello everyone, some of you will know who I am but for those who do not. I'm The Wolf Guardian. I called this meeting because one of the young Wolfs from your tribe attacked someone this morning. I have spoken with the head of the coven about this and he has agreed since his own was not hurt and I'm handling it he will not report you."
The Quileute we're all quiet and some of the elders went pail. No one said anything so I continued.
"(Red) I do not like punching my own kind but if I don't the other races will get involved even if this incident is not reported. To start with, the story of your ancestors being descended from wolves is true and we are known by humans as Werewolves.
A long time ago humans managed to trick the Fae into believing we are savage monsters and must be eliminated. The Fae used their rune magic to make swords that could cut through our tough hide and slow down our healing abilities.
The humans also had the Fae emboss currency with runes that would burn through our skin if we touch it even in human form in order to find us. The embossed runes would be engraved into the scan and had to be sliced off with our claws.
This is how the myth of silver burning Werewolve's skin and we let that rumor spread. With the humans and Fae hunting us, we went into hiding. This lasted sixty winters before the Fae figured out they had been tricked and tried to make it up to use by collecting and destroying the coins and swords they made for the humans.
It was too late our kind was already devastated. The humans even hunted our mortal brethren the Grand Timber wolfs in extension to hunt us down.
The Vampires have always seen the other Supernatural races as a threat so from the shadow they collected the runed weapons and began picking us off.
They did this for twenty winters after the Fae stopped helping the humans and left them behind.
The Vampires eventually ran into me after I got through the loss of my soul mate. I was, just got back and I could not find my mate's kin. I was in the forest looking when they came on me. I spoke to them and they laughed. Said they had killed all the Grand Wolfs and I was next.
That sent me over the edge and I went mad, I ripped the Vampires apart and any of them that came after me.
Vampires started calling me Shadow-walker and Red-Shadow. The vampires eventually cornered me and I was saved by my mother, you all may know her as the Wolf god all White. She found me and saved me then she cried when she found out all her other children were all killed.
Your legends said the White Wolf is love and compassion. My father however is not angry and ferry but when he heard his soulmate crying for their children he was enraged.
My father hunted down all the Vampires who killed or helped kill his children and ripped them apart.
After my mother gifted me with the ability to see the future in order to help save my friend and kin. My father increase my abilities and gifted me with a power that would shatter any weapon used against me.
I'm telling you this because you all need to know that it is very important that we the Werewolves do not start a conflict that will make us go from endangered to extinct.
After I received the gift from my parents I managed to help an Elf rider and her Dragon. This put them in my debt for a favor. I used the favor to have the Dragons and Fae write a decree preventing Supernatural beings from attacking one another.
Several winters later the humans started to get jealous of the other race and attacked; they could not get past the Fae defense and decided to try and use magic to summon a creature that could cut through the magical barrier around the Fae homeland.
They managed to summon a dimensional demon with claws that could cut through anything, even realities.
Of course, they could not control it and it killed everything around it. The Dragons, Fae, and humans could not stop it. A free Dragon came to me and she asked me to save her family and that the free Dragons would owe me any favor if I would help them defeat the demon.
To get a favor from a free Dragon is harder than pulling a living Werewolf's fang. It took the best human rider weapon smith in the world and his soulmate, an Elf who was the Fae bow and throwing spear champion. Two Dragons and myself to take down the demon.
After the favor, I asked of the free and bonded Dragons was they would not eat mortal wolves. When I told the wolves of this they praised me as a God but I told them I am the son of the Wolf god and a mortal wolf.
You can all tell from work I put it to getting favors and using them to protect our kind. I still do not like the Fae or Vampires, but the Dragons have never gone out of their way to hurt us.
Over the winter I gained smaller favors and the protection of our kind from the Fae, Humans, and free Dragons. Then the Vampires messed that all up when they decided to wipe knowledge of their excisions from the world.
At first, we helped them by collecting books and painting of the supernatural community because the humans were starting to develop science and technology, in order to find better ways to combat their lack of magical power.
We feared another assault from them so we moved to new lands to set up a magic shield and cloaks.
As the communities were moving the Vampires decided it was not enough to erase the written knowledge but also the Tribes and individuals with past down knowledge of their existence.
A clan of powerful Vampires, known as the Volturi, created hundreds of disposable new Vampires and set them to kill off people with the knowledge of Vampires.
Their newborns came across a village that knew of the Supernatural world because it belonged to the Dragons.
The Vampire broke into a house and killed the family, who were descendants of Fae. The family was the fourth cousin of a Pixy woman known as the sword champion.
In the attack a young Dragon Heir was killed, he was the soulmate of the young Fae girl in the family.
The Dragon Heirs took on their true Dragon form and bathed all the intruding Vampires in fire, Reducing them to ash.
The Dragon could have burned all the Vampires down, but with the agreement and truce, they have with Fae and Werewolves. Burning everything could lead to an uproar from us, so the Dragon Guardian called on me, and the Fae Champion volunteered to show the Vampires what attacking her family would cost.
Her skill with a sword makes her the best of all the races. I'm skilled with a sword, but I'm ranked fourth.
I joined the fight against the Vampires in my true form with the swords I used to defeat the dimensional demon with my rider and Elf friends.
The three of us mowed down hundreds of newborns and older Vampire guards to get inside the stronghold.
Once inside the three of us cornered the Volturi leaders and gave them a choice. Sign a contract and agree to the Supernatural decree or we kill them and find someone else to rule over the Vampires.
They sight the contract which stated that the other Supernatural race could set up restricted zones. These zones have rules similar to what the Volturi have in Volterra, Italy.
I will tell you the rules here in the Olympic area, which includes La Push, Forks, and everything else.
Vampires and other Supnranel beings can come and go from here without being attacked or driven off. Vampires can drink the blood of a human but cannot cause injury or kill the human they are drinking from. They cannot turn a human unless given permission from the one in charge of the zone.
I'm telling you all this because you all need to know this. So you know the conquest of starting a conflict with Vampires or any of the other races.
You may be my kind and my friend is the Dragon Guardian. It doesn't mean I can show leniency with you.
I have put a restriction on the young Wolf, he can not leave or shift into his wolf form outside of La Push, as for the rest of you."
Everyone started arguing once I brought up putting the restriction on the Wolf and how they would not let a cold monster onto their land.
"(Red) You can not say all Vampires are monsters when last time I was here I had a vision of a girl named Emily getting rushed into a house with her face ripped off by a young Wolf. Then you all tried to make up a story of her getting attacked by a bear."
They all went silent and I wanted as Chief Swan looked from me to the rest of them with a bit of disgust on his face. He even stepped closer to me. "When did or does this happen?" he asked me.
"(Red) I do not have all the details yet, that is why I ask Leah here today."
Leah had sat very still this whole time, now turning her upper body to look at me. "You're the one I'm supposed to talk to about why I'm here?
I spoke privately to her. "(Red) Yes Leah, in order to find out more about Emily's injury I will need to look into the future of the people around her, In the vision with Jacob, I hear that you were with her before she went off and came back injured."
"You need to look into my future to help Emily? Then do it. "(Red) That is good but I wish to tell you that I will be skimming through your future from now until the event. That means I will see every action you do. I will link you to my mind so you will see what I see.
If you're ready all you have to do is wrap your hands around me.
"I will do it to protect Emily." Leah said as she moved and wrapped her arms around my neck, pressing her face into my fur.
~Leah's Future~
I pulled Leah into the vision, we were inside a vehicle and Mr. Clearwater was talking.
"Leah, tell me what happened. You started crying after you released the Guardian's neck." Leah did not say anything but this was too soon into the future so I skipped forward.
The sun was coming through a window and in front of us was a shower then Leah turned and I saw she was completely naked, Leah's thought shouts at me "(Leah) HEY"
"(Red) I told you I would see everything you do throughout the future and you are not my type anyway."
I told Leah as I skipped the vision forward. "(Leah) ya, like I would ever go out with a dog." I made sure that my thoughts of her, already in love with a Wolf, did not reach her.
We seem to be in a school and shouting at a boy. "Sam, what is wrong with you? You disappear for two weeks and then you come back and ignore me. Just tell me the truth?"
Sam just got an angry expression, then mumbled something Leah could not hear so I could not make it out.
Instead of skipping forward, I speed up time so it would be harder for us to miss something. That is how I saw the moment that Emily showed up in the vision for the first time.
I back up the vision and started it playing in normal time.
I watched as Sam imprinted onto Emily, he could not help being pulled to her side and talk with her. Leah seemed to notice this too but did not understand it.
"(Leah) What is happening and why doesn't the future me not know this is going to happen if I'm seeing this now?"
"(Red) First off Sam has found his soulmate and it Emily, as for the second we are looking through the future without interference. It is as if we did nothing and let the events play out. This includes me showing you the future. If we try to see the future as it changed as we saw it, it can get confusing."
Leah had a sadness in her thoughts "(Leah) You're saying I'm not destined to be with Sam and there is nothing I can do about it." My thoughts were calming as I spoke back, while still looking at Sam's reaction to Emily.
"(Red) I'm sorry, Leah but that is how it is for us when we find our other half. If you like after we find out how to save Emily, I can look into your future and see if I can find your soulmate."
"(Leah) Yes, you can do that?"
"(Red) I mentioned that my mother gave me this power to help my friend. She is so happy that she met my father that she always wanted her children to find their soulmate, that she made it so I could see the two people meant to be together. Before you ask how, it is like this, in visions I can see the happiest time of their life. This is usually when they meet their soulmate or close to it. The other way to tell is the two will have similar auras around them and when close to each other the auras are drawn together.
Leah, I need to concentrate on the event playing out or we will be sitting at the campfire all night."
Leah did not respond, just concentrated on the two love struck people in front of her. Her thought said she wanted to leave and her future self did just that. Pulling us away from the two.
I started skimming through Leah's future trying to get the argument that future Jacob mentioned.
It did not take me long to find the argument between the girls. "Ok, you wanted to talk to me about something." Leah said, crossing her arms, I moved my spectator form to stand with Emily to my left and Leah's future self to my right.
Emily then spoke "Well it's about Sam, he told me he loves me and wanted only me. I told him it was not right for him to just dump you for me when we just met, I feel this way but I also feel a connection between Sam and do not know what to do.
Leah, I need you to know that I think I'm in love with Sam, I do not want to hurt you especially when I know you are having a hard time accepting Seth's girlfriend."
"(Leah) What, my brother has a girlfriend, when did that happen?" She directed her question to Emily.
"(Red) She can not answer you, we are just spectators, we can shout all we want but it is like yelling at characters in a horror movie. As for your question I do know I skimmed through your future looking for this interaction I heard about from Jacob's future. I can look into your brother's future later if you want?
"(Leah) No, I don't want to pry into my brother's privacy, especially after I saw this Wolf see me naked. What did he hear that, own no."
I ignored her rambling thoughts and concentrated on the vision. The girls were now yelling at each other about stealing boyfriends and not understanding.
Eventually, Emily stormed off and future Leah did not follow just stood there.
The next time Leah saw Emily, her face was covered in blood soaked rags. The present Leah started crying into my fur. "(Leah) Stop, showing me this." she began to heave sob into my neck. I ended the link with her and watched the scene myself.
~Vision Ends~
"What did you do to my sister?" said Seth Clearwater stepping around behind Leah and pulling her away from me into his arms. He glared at me as he backed away with Leah, who was still crying from the vision.
I spoke so only Leah could hear me. "(Red) Remember that was the future playing out how it was. Know that I showed you your future, it will have changed. Be Careful not to change it too much or I will not be able to prevent what is going to happen. I still need to meet with Emily to save her."
"(Leah) I understand how do I contact you when she comes to visit?"
"(Red) you can call me or have Jacob tell me, I will be stopping by his place for the next few weeks to check up on the other young Wolfs."
Leah, through her teary eyes, looked shocked when I gave her my home phone number, like what a Wolf needs with a phone. Then she started to wonder where I kept my cell phone when I'm a wolf and I told her I did not have one because they are too fragile.
She was getting led away by her family when she realized I was still able to answer questions from a distance and told me to stop. "(Red) goodbye, Leah." I said discounting my mind from hers.
The visions do not last long to everyone outside of them so the elders were still discussing what I said and who was going to confront me.
Finally one of them spoke and it was the rude one on the phone. "We" he started but someone else spoke over him.
"Some of us do not believe you have the right to tell us what we can do. Since you are part of our tribe."
I made a huffing sound and spoke to everyone. "(Red) Could you be more pacific which part do you think I can not do? Is it punishing one of your own for an unprovoked attack against a Supernatural being or is it attacking anyone you do not like crossing your border?"
"That would be both. We have a treaty that prevents them from coming onto our land. As for the punishment of the Wolf's actions should be up to us."
"(Red) That treaty only applies to the coven that Ephraim Black made it with and your uneducated young wolf would have broken it this morning if I did not intervene. If I had not intervened and found out it was an unprovoked attack by your side. I would not help you and you would have faced the coven that Ephraim Black furred would destroy his people. That was when the coven was smaller and the wolf pack had five.
What do you think would happen if that coven came over here and demanded the Wolf's head? If I did not speak with the leader of the coven first that could have happened."
The Quiles were all quiet and some of them suddenly were more interested in their shoes.
"(Red) As for the second thing, the contract we made the Vampire leaders sign allows all races to path through our land or we can pass through theirs without being attacked. So you can not stop a Vampire, Dragon, Fae, or any other Supernatural being from passing through.
However, you can place tighter restrictions on your tarator than what Mis. Hood and I have, on the Olympic area.
If you wish to make it so Vampire can not drink from a human at all you have to write out a set of rules to be reviewed by heads of the Supernatural communities.
I will be happy to look over the rules you want and tell you which ones will not get approved because of laws."
"It's that easy, we just write out the restriction we want? What if we get approved and a Vampire disregards the restriction" Billy asked and everyone stopped talking about what rules to put in place.
"(Red) You may have heard on the news that people are disappearing around Seattle. The city is just outside of the restricted zone. The one responsible has been using the natural forest to hide which is in the zone but they have not attacked anyone here.
I have been tracking them for the past month and have a lead on their next target. The tricky part is I will need to explain the rules to them. If they attack me when I approach them I can take them down without having to explain myself.
If they hurt someone and intend to kill them to protect their secret I can take them down as well.
Do not weary Chief Swan, I have insight into when the attack will happen. I can not tell you who because that will change the information and do not tell me I can not take the law into my own hands. That line gets old after so many winters and besides, I outrank you.
My point is if something broke the law you or I can take care of it without getting the Volturi involved. The human law enforcement can not get involved because it would cause panic and fighting to break out with the mortals."
I looked around the group waiting for them to ask me any other questions but nothing came forth. They had heads together whispering about the restriction they wanted and whether the pack Alpha could order the restriction off of Sam later.
It has only been an hour since I arrived at the meeting and showed Leah her future.
"(Red) to let you all know I have made it so the young Wolf can not get out of his punishment from a command from Alpha Black. He will need permission from both of us to be free."
I did not get the sense that the Quileutes were going to ask me any more questions and just continue to bicker with themselves. I spoke to all of them.
"(Red) Why don't you tell the legends of how your tribes first started shapeshifting, so the newcomers can hear your side of events."
The Quileutes return to sitting and standing around the fire to tell their tale. I sat in the spot Leah had been to listen. I do not interrupt or correct them on the event of the story even though I was there.
It was not my place to tell them that Taha Aki and his brother were the sons of six level Werewolves but inherited power that made them third level.
