Emma pov sometime later
Waking up I head upstairs yawning, Ingrid's nearly 26 weeks and Lily and Leah should be home any day now.
I know they been working hard on their training but since the Volturi visit it's been nearly radio silence from them, I get the occasional message saying she loves and misses me.
It's frustrating to go from messaging and calling after hell week during her free time to suddenly being back to that, dad says they would be considered top of the class if they actually used that instead of basic passability.
When Dad explained that, I could now understand why he had to let go of several officers over the years, he always complained about them being lazy and not up to his standers for upholding the law because they continued to make rookie mistakes after years of being on the force.
He accepted Paul's cousin Drake, he's from a different tribe and had a military history, the tribe was unsure about allowing him to stay because of Paul's shifter abilities.
But he was actually accepted by the pack when they realized he knew about the shifter gene and could help protect the imprints, the first time he see the boys he looked amazed and proud.
He's became a middle man between us and the normal human world and helps Charlie with cases that have supernatural flags to help cover it.
When the reports of bears in the woods came in he came up with the idea of picking who's meant to hunt them and everyone that was chosen knows it's the boys.
Hearing the door open I glance up seeing Drake come in with a file as Ingrid sits breakfast and coffee in front of me.
"Attacks in water just outside of the packs territory I have an eye witness statements" he says frowning.
"Someone reported this?" I ask confused since I didn't think someone would survive to report something supernatural.
"Yeah little girl her, report was dismissed by everyone but Charlie and I, it sounds like something a kid would make up to explain what they don't understand"
Ingrid holds her hand out taking the file before putting him some food down and joins us looking over the information.
"Soft singing that relaxed her, before the people she was with was yanked overboard, pretty fish fins and tentacles" she mutters.
Seeing the photo I frown picking it up "hey, isn't this the girl that was reported missing in Seattle a month ago?" I ask.
"Yeah, she says the people that took her kept telling her to call them mom and dad" Drake answers.
"How long ago did this happen to the people?"
"She says she was taken back to land and a woman walked her to La push yesterday, she was found by hunters and brought back to the station" Drake says frowning.
"This is strange, by her accounts of the event there's a possible mermaid and Cecaelia near the packs territory working together, it's strange since a Cecaelia tends to be solitaire in nature unless they mate"
"So a siren lurking in the waters do we need to do something?" Drake asks tensing up.
"Mermaid not a siren, mermaids are typically skittish of humans even when curious they don't attack without reason, sirens lure sailors to their death they look the same and can both sing, I would say sweeping for bodies would tell us what we have but with a Cecaelia around that makes it harder since they're cleaver about hiding thing, you won't find the bodies unless they let you"
"How do you know that?" He asks frowning.
"I knew a Cecaelia once, she's cleaver I know she once turned a mermaid settlement on its head, nearly starting a war because her bother stole what was rightfully hers, after she lost her singing voice after helping a human who stole it"
Nodding I smile at him "she took to land and set out for revenge against the guy and if she ever gets a hold of him she'll kill him, she doesn't know that her father put him up to it and in her anger she invoked the sea goddess she's named after, it turned her into a Cecaelia" I add.
Seeing him frown I shrug "her story inspired the little mermaid movie" I add.
"Oh" he mutters then nods "right the supernatural world has caused a lot of movies from the stories passed on" he adds still looking confused but shrugs it off to eat.
Glancing at Ingrid I smile seeing her reading the file while rubbing her stomach "we can't approach them without Lily, we need another mythical when dealing with them".
"Shifters are mythical why can't they do it?" Drake asks frowning at her.
"Because they are two different classes of mythical, Cecaelia and mermaids are classes as godlike they have history connected to Poseidon, Lily's powers connect her to Hecate so it has to be someone with a godlike connection for them to parlay with us"
"But several old gods are connected to wolves" he counters.
"Yes but shifters are common in the supernatural world and have reproduced to much with normal humans weakening their connection, Lily is" she trails off frowning "there is only one other like her, it's her birth mother and her, she's considered an oddity that's pure in her connection".
"Why's hers more important than the packs?" He asks.
Glancing at him I can see he's confused and slightly insulted for the pack "Lily's a dragon, a literally fire breathing dragon the pack's completely serious when they call her a dragon, her mother's a dragon that has a human form just like Lily she's a true mythical because of that, she's the closest to a true old God you can find without the immortal clause, she can be killed but she can be brought back or rebuild herself up and come back to life over years if not killed properly".
Seeing his shock I blush when he looks at me "and your her imprint, damn no wonder you're so proud of her" he mutters.
Snorting I shake my head "her powers not why I'm proud of her, but I do know she's powerful" I answer shrugging.
Bella pov
Sitting in my room I raise my brow seeing Rose sat on my bed looking over my notes "we've alter this to include us in the plan, Jasper also pointed out you have several unknown that you hope to get, he has offered to see if he can track them down for you, on the other side we seen multiple people listed as unknown and possible threats, if we can find any information on them we can hopefully plan for the chance they come into play".
Nodding I watch as she moves to another page and unfolds it shows it's a map sketched out "Ingrid made this for us and helped us place where everyone she knows of stays, now the church holds the fairies that believe they're nuns" she says laying it out and pointing to the spot then frowns.
"I never thought I'd ever say something that insane" she sighs before pointing to another area "the police station is currently ran by the huntsman that Regina controls, but he's not loyal to her I'm worried that his true loyalty may cause him to resist her control again, Regina admitted she knows he thinks he's a unknown spy for Snow White back in the forest".
"Snow's a teacher that lives in a small loft apartment, and Charming's in a coma as a John Doe in the hospital, the wolves had a huge fight with Snow before the curse caught them over something but she's unclear on what since by then Snow had banned all mirrors from her kingdom, she just caught the end of it when trying to get Emma she seen Red yanking a wardrobe open and screaming at Charming before leaving, she also heard her tell Snow their friendship was over before Snow made it to Charming where Regina gloated about going somewhere terrible"
Humming I frown looking over the map where the wolves are marked as running a dinner "okay, they may not side with Snow but they're still a possible threat" I finally say.
"One more thing, you have someone named Cora on it as a threat but Ingrid says she's not in the town, rumors said she was dead"
Frowning I shake my head "no she's still alive and plotting to figure out how to reach Regina but hasn't found a way yet, she's dangerous and was abusive to Regina as a child".
Seeing her frown I then point to another name "this one, I found a connection to Regina in her story as sisters, she thinks Regina had everything and wants her to pay for it because her adopted father was abusive to her after her adopted mother dead, Cora stole their memories of meeting and loving each other as children".
"Okay, so we'll mark her a threat but hope we can find something to change that"
Nodding I smile looking at everything, her and Jasper have covered a lot even things I couldn't figure out how to plan around "Jasper is also planning to eventually have police academy forged onto his records to join the police force when we go there since he can't legally do it".
Nodding I see her smile while gathering everything up to put it away.
