Chapter 10
Embry P.O.V
"We have a problem" Jake said angrily.
"What is it?" I asked nervously.
"Sam is going to call a meeting with the elders, there going to discus Sara, her power, and the packs of course" he said running his hand through his hair.
"And there going to bring up you and her" Leah said with a scowl.
"What? Why?!" I demanded.
"Because it's not imprinting so it's not natural" she said bitterly.
"What does this mean?" I asked.
"Well were going to have to attend the meeting, and by we I mean you, me, and Leah. I'm sure we'll have to go over everything again, the elders will talk a lot, and I and Sam will argue a lot. You know the usual" he said grinning.
I didn't see what was so funny.
Sara P.O.V
We landed in Denali. It was dark out so we didn't have to worry about people seeing us sparkle when we came outside. Alaska was in it's time were it would be dark for half the year, and then light the next half. That was one of the benefits of living in Alaska Alice had said. But I can't imagine how the Denali clan keeps busy during the daytime months. We went through the terminal, the Denali clan was supposed to be waiting for us. I spotted them instantly three girls and two guys.
There was one couple; they both had an olive complexion and dark hair. The woman reminded her of Esme they both had gentle and caring faces. The man was tall with a pointed chin.
The other couples were both more fair skinned. The woman was a beautiful blonde like Rose, the man was tall and rangy looking, and his sandy hair was pulled into a ponytail.
The final woman was a pale strawberry blonde who was the most beautiful of the coven.
Everyone hugged and shook hands; I kinda stayed back and watched as the two covens greeted each other. I didn't want to intrude I was just the new girl after all. Alice came gliding over and gently took my hand I reluctantly followed her to the awaiting coven.
"Everyone this is Sara our newest member" Alice said.
I stood there awkwardly as the Denali clan looked at me with interest and a little awe. I hope I didn't have something on my face.
"Hi" I said awkwardly.
The olive skin woman stepped forward and gave me a gentle and warm hug,
"Welcome to Denali Sara I’m Carmen" she said.
She grabbed my hand in hers and introduced me to her husband.
"This is my husband Elezar" she introduced me to the tall dark haired man.
"Nice to meet you" he greeted shaking my hand.
She then introduced me to Kate and Garrett. Kate had a cheerful smile, and Garrett had a very firm handshake.
Finally I was introduced to Tanya the strawberry blonde,
"Pleased to meet you Sara" she said softly giving me a smile. Her eyes held a certain amount of pity in them. I wondered if the others had told them about me.
"Well shall we head up to the mountain?" Elezar suggested.
"Ya, Nessie wore herself out on the flight over here." Bella said.
"No I...Didn't…" Nessie said with a yawn.

Embry P.O.V
God damn it! I was pissed off! What right did Sam or the council have to get involved with my life?
I was at home in my room. I was listening to Iron Maiden; I was in an angry mode so angry music. Mom was downstairs in a good mood; one of the benefits of having so many new members in the pack was having a good work schedule. I didn't have to stay out as much so I hardly ever went out for patrol, thus I didn't have to sneak out and get grounded again, and again. Mom thought it was the end of a rebellious streak.
The meeting was going to be later so I had enough time to try and calm down. Last thing I needed to do was phase during the meeting, that wouldn't help pack relations. Jake had called a meeting with our pack to find out who had given information about Sara. The one who did it hadn't meant to cause trouble. He had been hanging out with his friends and let slip there was a new vampire with a scary power. After that Jake ordered (No alpha power) everyone to no longer discus the Cullens unless they cleared it through him or Leah.
You know what they say about speak of the devil and he shall appear? Well she did.
I felt something heavy land on my bed. I opened my eye's and saw it was Leah.
"We need to talk" she said seriously.
"What?" I asked grumpily.
"It's about the girl" she said.
"Don't Leah I’m not in the mood" I said leaning over to turn the volume up on my headset.
I was trying to ignore her when suddenly the volume went up to intense levels. I shot up and saw Leah had turned the volume up to get my attention.
"Now as I was saying we need to talk about the girl"
"What" I snapped.
"How strongly do you feel for her?"
"Look me and Nathan had this talk ok" I said harshly.
"And now you and I are going to have it to" she snapped back "What if you imprint?"
"What do you care? Shouldn't you be with yours?"
"Yes as a matter of fact I should be with my imprint having mind blowing sex as usual but instead I have to have a talk with you. So the sooner you answer my questions the sooner I can get back to him. Now you do realize there is a possibility you could imprint and break her heart?"
"What you scared she's going to go crazy and try to kill us all?" I asked
"Do I look stupid to you? That girl would probably cry over killing a fly".
"What do you mean?" I asked amazed at how she was calling a vampire a wimp.
"Embry all you have to do is look in her eyes. The girl may be a leech, but she's a wimp"
I growled
"I'm not being a bitch Embry" she said raising her arms defensively "I'm just saying she's to soft, all her life she was beaten down and made all timid. Then she's attacked and you’re her only lifeline and this weird ass power of hers. I'm surprised she hasn't cracked" she said her eyes dropping a little.
"Why do you care? You hate vamps"
"I said it before and I’ll say it again. I don't hate them I just strongly dislike them. But when I look into her eyes there so...open, so bare. It's like you can see all the loneliness and hurt right there in her crimson eyes you can't help but pity her" she said. "And if you imprint on someone after you have gotten close to her, it's not her going berserk I’m worried about. It’s whether or not she'll survive it"
We sat in silence for a few seconds. I thought very hard. I let her words sink into my mind, all the fears and doubts. Everything everyone said Leah, Sam, and that blonde head bashing leech. In the end I have only one thing to say.
"I know there's a risk Leah. Believe me I don't need you or the others to voice there concerns. From the moment I met her I was drawn to her, it wasn't imprinting but it was something just as strong. I looked into her eyes and saw her suffering and my soul compelled me to protect her, I don't think I’ll ever imprint Leah something about her. My mind, my body, my soul there all telling me to protect her, to love her. And I will, no matter what I will love her, and I will protect her even from the pack" I said firmly.
"Which one?" she asked dryly.
"Doesn't matter. I may not have imprinted but I will be what ever she wants. A friend, a brother, a warrior, or even a lover"
"Damn this is serious" Leah said whistling "Alright if you’re that into it I won't say anything. But if you do hurt her call I will personally beat the hell out of you" she said standing up to leave.
"Tell Seth I said hi" I said.
"I would if I could" she said rolling her eyes.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Him and Lilith are like a pair of bunnies" she said disgustedly "I wish mom would spend more time at home, that’s the only time they seem to not do it. I hardly get any sleep anymore with the noise they make"
"Ok too much info" I said raising my hands
"Hey. if I must suffer you must suffer too"
"Why me?" I whined.
"Wrong place, wrong time" she laughed.
Like I said, Devil.
Sara P.O.V
We drove to the Denali's home. It was hidden on a mountain side, and was a lot like the Cullens home in Forks only it had fewer windows. By the time we got there Nessie was simply exhausted and went straight to bed.
While the others got there things put away in there rooms Carlisle, me, Elezar, Edward and Jasper all went to Elezar's study. Once again Jasper was doing his calm thing, which I was very grateful.
Elezar examined me, as in he just stared at me with a puzzled expression. "Hmmm well she can definitely manipulate an emotion" he said "But I don't know which one".
"You can tell what powers a vampire has right?" I asked.
"Well kinda" he smiled "I can tell what category a power falls into but I can't tell what the exact power is, like I knew Edward’s power was a psychic power that dealt with the mind but I didn't know it was telepathy" he said.
"I picked up a lot of emotions from the wolf Lust, admiration. But it was desire in general, his desire for her." Jasper said.
"His thoughts were obsessive" Edward said "It was like there imprinting but more intense, in his eyes she was god".
I felt ashamed of myself. I mean how could I have done that to him? I mean me, God? Great I’m a vampire and I’m going to hell.
Jasper must have picked up on my stress because I felt a wave of calm and ease, "Thanks" I said to him.
"Hmm" Elezar said "I have seen vampires that could manipulate certain emotions Fear, happiness, lust, greed you name it"
"So which emotion do you think I control?" I asked.
"Well I have to say...desire"
"Desire?" I asked confused.
"Yes, you see desire takes many forms. The desire for flesh, food, money, power, you name it" Elezar looked rather uneasy about what he was about to say. "I think the reason your power didn't manifest until then was the loss of your mother" I winced "Your only desire was to be normal. To have what everyone else had, love, respect... a family. But with her death the whole reason for your desire to be a normal girl was gone. But this man, Mr. Call he is the only thing that keeps you grounded to this world, and from the circumstances...uh I believe you had a strong desire for him in a particular way" if I could only blush "So that was why your power hadn't activated till then"
"So how do I keep it from activating?" I asked.
"Well obviously it's activated by your desires, but I’m sure with a little practice we can help you gain control of this" Elezar said with a smile.
"Who knows you might even be able to do more then just make people desire you" Jasper said.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"People desire more than flesh Sara. Like Eleazar said they can desire lots of things. But if you can learn how to control this thing better you can make others desire other things"
"This is scary" I said.
"Don't worry you have us to help you" Carlisle said placing a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Right then if were going to help her learn this thing no time like the present" Edward said moving toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Carlisle asked.
"If were going to experiment were going to need a few guinea pigs" he smirked "So I’m going to get Emmett and Garrett".
Embry P.O.V
We were at Billy's place. Billy was there as was Sue, and Quill Sr and the rest of the elders. Me, Jake, Leah, Quill, and Seth were there with a few other members of our pack, one of them was the wolf who spilled the beans about Sara. Sam, Paul, Jared, Collin, Brady, and a few other members of there pack were there. The two packs glared at the other. Maybe we should have a big fight that might help.
"We are gathered here to discus the Cullens and the new member they have acquired and her...unique ability" Billy said and Paul snorted "Something funny Paul?" Billy asked his ancient eye's narrowing on Paul.
"No sir" Paul said looking abashed.
I held back a smirk, take that Paul.
"Alright then what seems to be the problem this time?" Quill Sr asked. Ever since the two packs were formed the elders had to get together in order to prevent a big fight from happening.
"Elders as you know the Cullens have added a new member to there coven" Sam said.
"We are aware Sam, but the Cullens were not the one's who turned her so the treaty has not been broken. I fail to see the problem" Sue said.
"The problem is not only has she developed a dangerous power, but one of our wolves is in a relationship with her" Sam said.
"Actually Sam one of my wolves is in a relationship" Jake corrected. Jake 1 Sam 0.
The elders murmured to each other "Before we discuss this relationship lets discus her power first" Sue said "What is it that she can do?"
"From what I have learned she caused Embry to become enthralled with her, and he even attacked two of the Cullens before he was subdued" Sam said.
"Is this true Embry?" old Quill asked.
"Yes and no" I answered.
"Explain"
"Yes her power activated and I did become enthralled, but she did not mean for it to happen. Until it had happened we were unaware she even had a power"
The council murmured some more.
"Who gave you this information?" one of the elders asked Sam.
"One of mine and Jacob's wolves were talking and he let it slip" Sam said.
"Is the said wolf here, now?" Billy asked.
The wolf in question Chris stepped forward nervously "Me sir" he said.
"Were you there when this happened?"
"Not exactly, some of us were fazed when it happened. One minute we were patrolling then, all of a sudden we felt Embry but he was...different"
"Different?"
"Yes, we saw everything he did; he was obsessed with this girl. It was like he imprinted on her only better...and worse. It was good because she existed and the world was so much better. But it was worse because she wasn't with us, she wasn't happy with us, she was scared of us and the world was a worse place because of it. We and I mean he, would have killed for her to matter who or what" the wolf said and he shuddered at the memory. "We were all scared we thought there was a vampire attack or something, but luckily Jake stopped us from doing anything rash. I was over at Collin and Brady's house and I told them about the girl and they wanted to know more, they saw how frightened I was of her" he finished.
"Where is the vampire now?" Sue asked.
"Alaska" Leah answered "They felt she needed to escape and take a little vacation and learn how to control this thing".
"Why would she need a vacation?" one of the elders asked.
"She is a newborn, her mother was an abusive drunk. The vampire who turned her killed her mother and then went for her" I answered next.
"Hmmm" Billy said "What is your relationship with her?" he asked.
"I met he at a store, we went out on a date and...I was there when the leech attacked her; luckily Jake and the Cullens were there"
"Why were the cold ones there?" old Quill asked.
"Alice, the pixie. She had seen visions of Sara joining their coven, but because Embry was with her the visions weren’t clear" Jake said.
The elders leaned in and whispered to one another "Sam is there anything you would like to throw in?" Sue asked.
"I think that this new girl is dangerous. Her power is obviously to wild and uncontrollable, we should contact the Cullens and have they kept her in Alaska" Sam said.
"What!?" I shouted.
"She's to dangerous Embry" Sam said "What if you imprint an-"
"Oh don't bring that up again!" I shouted "I won't leave her period".
"The risk is to great" Sam snarled "And she's a newborn, who knows what will happen if she decides to go on a blood rage".
"I won't let that happen" I growled.
"Still her lap dog huh Embry" Paul sneered "Maybe the little leech still has her fangs stuck in you?"
I snapped. I flew at Paul and we went flying to the floor and all hell broke loose.
Alice P.O.V
"Why should we help you?" the vampire asked.
"Help me reclaim her and we will join your coven. With my power we can find your enemies and crush them before they even know what hit them" another vampire said.
"What are you again?" the female vampire asked.
"I am a tracker, all I need is a name or face to find my prey, it is how I found her so quickly" the male said.
"And where is she now?" the female asked.
"Alaska, Denali" the male said.
"Hmmm if my memory is right that's were the other animal drinking clan is, if she is there then so to must the Cullens"
"Then grant me some of your vampires, I will go claim her myself and come back" the male said.
The female thought for a few minutes before she gave an answer "Very well, how ever DO NOT anger the Cullens or the Denali clan. Last thing I need right now is them coming down on my head" the female said.
"Thank you Maria" the man said bowing.
I was just coming out of my daze, Jasper was already by my side "What did you see?" he asked.
"He's coming, the vampire who made Sara, he's coming with some vampires from Maria and there coming here to claim Sara" I said. "We need to warn the others".
Embry P.O.V
We took the fight outside. I fought Paul, Leah fought Jared, and Seth was taking on both Collin and Brady. Naturally Jake and Sam were going at it, but surprisingly no one had phased. It was weird to be fighting with just you fist's instead of paw's.
By the time the Elder's had spilled out to watch the fight we were all bloody and bruised but then a loud BANG made us freeze.
Sue stood with a rifle in her hands, were the hell had she gotten that? "Now that I have your attention" she calmly said "We can continue with business. Sam we share your concerns about this new vampire, Embry you have to admit there is a chance you could imprint. How ever we can not force you from seeing her, if what you say is true then the girl besides being a vampire is harmless" she said and I felt a wave of relief.
"However" old Quill said and my stomach clenched "We feel that the girl does pose a certain threat. She may return but only when she has gained control of her power. If she ever uses this gift on any wolf, even accidentally she will never be allowed to return again, that is our final decision" he said.
The meeting ended and the elders except Sue and Billy left. Sue was chastising Seth and Leah for fighting.
"I can't believe you two" she said.
"They started it" Seth defended.
"Nice job handling Collin and Brady" Leah said proud of her brother
"Thanks, Lilith has been teaching me how to fight" Seth said happily.
"Enough both of you, you’re both grounded. No phone or computer for a week!" Sue said.
Quill, Jake and I were glaring at Sam, Jared, and Paul. "Kiss your leech goodbye Call, there's no way she won't screw-"
"PAUL ENOUGH!" Sam screamed and he fell silent.
"Embry I’m sorry but the risk tot he tri-"
"Sam just shut up, I don't care" I said walking away. How was I going to tell Sara?
Author: Oh no what will they all do? Next chapter the guinea pigs AKA Emmett and Garrett is used as test subjects.
