Sins of the Father
Chapter 12
Abduction

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing.

Two weeks passed.
The wolves had a few more run-ins with some supernatural creatures but they were dealt with quickly.
Eventually Qahla's power began to fade from the world and the monsters returned to the spirit world.
Terra remained in La Push, helping to train Qahla in magic, communicating with him from inside his stone and helping Jake try and learn how to spirit walk.
None of them knew the danger that was coming for them.

"Relax your mind Jacob, let your mind wonder," Terra said.
Terra and Jake sat in Jacob's living room. They sat Indian style (no pun intended) and Terra was trying to teach him how to spirit walk, a process that was frustrating for both of them.
"I am trying," Jake said through gritted teeth.
"You're trying too hard, that is the problem," Terra said. "You must empty your mind; will your body to sleep."
"No one can will themselves to sleep," Jake said.
"Of course they can idiot," Terra said.
Jake glared at him, if he had a quarter for every time he had been called an idiot he could open up his own garage by now.
"You must become calm itself, let serenity and peace rule your being. Shed all the worries you carry with you and free your spirit."
"I am a werewolf; anger is the source of my power."
"No, anger is the trigger. But we are not trying to help you phase, that you can do easily, we are trying to teach you to astral project," Terra said.
Jake sighed and rubbed his face. "This sucks, even with Taha Aki's memories I still can't do it."
"You may have his memories but that only gives you a few pointers. Actually severing your spirit from your body is difficult and takes years of actually happening," Terra said.
"We don't have years," Jake said.
"Exactly. But you have a good teacher, too bad I have a lousy student," Terra said.
Jake grit his teeth, fighting the urge to say something back.
"Okay. Close your eyes," Terra said.
Jake did as instructed.
"Alright. Now think of happy things. Think of the sound of rain as it hits your roof. Think of a cool breeze as it blows through your hair. Think of the smell of flowers on a cool summer's day. Think of the laugh of the person you love the most."
The sound of Nessie's laughter sounded in his mind. Jake smiled.
"Good. Now, keep focusing on that-"
Terra's voice became distant and far away, a strange feeling washed over Jake like he was in free fall.
He opened his eyes and found he was not in his house but in the middle of the woods. Sitting in front of him was none other than Qahla.
"Hi Jake, welcome to my world," he said with a smile.

Terra stared at Jake; he sensed his mind go blank, sensed as it was pulled into the stone.
"Well, this is interesting."
He placed his hand on the stone and reached inside with his mind. He sensed Jacob was inside with Qahla.
"Well, I guess Qahla decided to lend a hand," he said.
He got up and stretched his limbs. "I could use a break. God knows this little spirit adventure could help him out."
Terra began to walk to the bathroom.
"I think it is time Leah and I had a talk."

Leah was in her bathroom. She had just gotten a shower and was shaving her legs.
She had her foot on the toilet seat and was just about to shave it again when a voice whispered to her. "Leah."
She jumped. She looked around and saw no one. Then her eyes turned to the mirror and she screamed. Terra stared at her from the mirror, like he was on a TV screen.
"What the hell!"
"Hello Leah, is this a bad time?" Terra asked.
"What the hell are you doing in my mirror?" she asked.
"It is a form of scrying. I am over at Jacob's house now trying to teach him to spirit walk. But it seems Qahla has decided to take things into his own hands. So while he is out I would like to speak with you."
"You better not have been watching them shower," Leah snarled at him.
Terra frowned at her. "Calm down woman, and get your mind out of the gutter. Now, if you have the time hurry over to Jacob's house. We must talk about your existence."
He waved his hand and the mirror returned to its normal state.
"Stupid immortal freak!" she growled.
Terra returned to the mirror.
"Oh and by the way, you might want to shave your arm-pits, they are rather unsightly."
He waved his arm and disappeared, right when Leah chucked the can of shaving cream at the mirror.

Fifteen minutes later a very livid Leah stood at the Black house.
She banged her fist on the front door, the entire structure shook.
The door opened and Terra stepped out. "Oh, it's you," he said nonchalantly.
"You have ten seconds before I break your neck!" she growled.
"I will require about ten minutes. Come sit with me," he said walking to the front steps.
"Where is Jake?" she asked.
"Indisposed. We must talk Leah."
"About my existence?" she asked recalling his words. "What the hell does that mean?"
"Sit," he said patting the spot next to him.
She sat down next to him, still glaring at him.
"It has come to my attention you are misinformed about your reason for being," Terra said.
"What?"
"I believe you and the others are under the delusion you are some kind of mutation. This is not true. Although you are a rare thing, it is not unheard of for there to be female shape-shifters."
"How would you know?" she asked.
He gave her a look. The same kind of look she gave everyone when she thought they were being dumb which needless to say she did a lot.
"Seriously Leah, did you think you Quileutes were the only ones to have shape-shifters?" he asked.
Leah remembered during the Volturi confrontation Aro made mention of other types of Shape-shifters. Panthers, eagles and what not.
"Well...I mean we learned recently that we were shape-shifters and not just werewolves," she said.
"Trust me Leah; there are many other kinds of Shape-shifters. Wolves, bears, eagles, cheetahs, tigers, rats, hyenas, lions and so on. If you look at the myth and legends you will find many cultures have beings who turned into all manner of beasts. Some like you lot were created when a powerful mystic possessed an animal body. Others were the result of mystical experimentation," Terra said.
"Interesting, but what does this have to do with me?" Leah asked.
"No matter what sub-group all shape-shifters have many more males then females. They are very rare and valuable. Usually only a woman who has multiple shape-shifter bloodlines can phase."
He reached into his pouch and pulled a long piece of paper.
"How do you pull large things out of there? "she asked.
"It's bigger on the inside," he said.
He unrolled the scroll. It was a family tree depicting the Uley, Black, Atera and Clearwater families.
"I asked your elders permission to look into their records. I have marked on here members of your tribe who phased and those who carried the gene," Terra said.
Leah took a few moments to examine the family tree. She had little knowledge of her family outside of the Clearwater clan. Everyone in La Push was related somehow.
"As you know Jacob got his gene from his father and from his mother who was from the Atera family."
"I knew that. It is why he is so good at phasing," Leah said.
"It is true, the fact Jake has two blood lines is the reason he is stronger than the rest of you, even for an average alpha. But Leah, you and Seth are descended from the Black's, the Uley's and the Atera clan," Terra said.
"What?"
"Your great-grandmother was Amelia Atera who passed the gene on to her children Lucy, Daniel and Peter. Peter Married Julia Litlesea and they had three children, your father, and Michael and Elizabeth."
"My aunt and uncle."
Terra nodded.
"Now your mother's grandparents were Caleb Uley and Alice Huautah who was the daughter of Lape Huautah and Joanna Black. So you see Leah, the reason you phased was not because of some freak mutation, it was because of all the inhabitants of La Push only you and your brother can claim kinship to all three of the gene carrying families."
"But what about Collin and Brady and all the others?"
"All share some relation to either the black's Uley's or Ateara blood lines. Normally the scent of vampires causes those with powerful bloodlines to the previous wolf pack to phase. But due to the abnormally large amount of vampires in the area of recent all people with the most distant trace of wolf blood in them was called."
"Wait...it's a vampire's scent that causes the transformation?" Leah asked. "We thought it was their presence alone, like our blood sensed them."
Terra sighed. "You really are ignorant of your own nature. Between puberty and the age of twenty-five one with the gene may phase, but only if they come across a vampire scent to activate it. If this does not happen after they turn twenty-six then the gene becomes permanently dormant. Which is why your elders have not phased even after meeting the Cullens face to face."
Leah got up and began to pace back and forth. "So all this time I thought I was a freak, a mutation...I wasn't?"
"No."
Leah cursed. "All this time! All this time I thought I was a mistake! Damn it! All I had to do was look up a bunch of dusty old files and I would have known!"
"Well, I do have some good news," Terra said.
"What?" Leah asked.
"You can have children," Terra said.
"What?"

"Qahla? What are you doing outside the stone?" Jake asked.
"Silly, you are in the stone now," Qahla said.
"What?"
"I pulled your mind into the stone so we could talk," Qahla said.
"So...this is inside the stone?" Jake asked looking around.
"I know, cool huh? I mean there is water and air and I can feel the sunlight on my skin and sometimes it rains and it's just like our land was before the pale faces showed up. Except there are no animals and it is only me."
"So...it's just you?"
"Yeah, I mean there is a hut just like the one I used to live in...but I have no one to play with and I-"
"Got lonely?" Jake asked.
Qahla rubbed his arm.
"I know I have to stay inside here. But I get so bored and I wish someone was here to play with me," Qahla said.
Jacob smiled. He got up and picked Qahla up and sat him on his shoulders.
"Alright then, let's play a little. Terra is working me to the bone and I need some play time," Jake said.
"Really?"
"Sure. After all, I wouldn't want my chief to be all alone now would I?" Jake asked.
"You make a good servant Jacob Black. Keep this up and you will be my most honored warrior."
"Keep saving me from that ass...I mean that jerk Terra and you will be my most favorite person next to Nessie," Jake said.

Leah held Terra up by the scruff of his neck.
"Tell me what the fuck you are talking about!" she growled at him
Terra was not intimidated by her at the least. It was going to take more than an irritable she-wolf to make him afraid.
"Set me on the ground and I will explain," he said.
She dropped him and he landed on his feet, brushing his shoulders off.
"I was talking to your brother. Good boy he is, a little bit on the chatty side. He told me of your predicament."
"That little bitch!" she growled.
"Don't be mad. He came to me asking for assistance with your predicament."
"Wait...he what?"
"Seth figured that given my advanced age I would have encountered other shape-shifters and might know if it was possible for you to procreate. Very wise of him and of course he was right. So he told me about how you no longer menstruate and wondered if there was a magical solution."
"Seth..he...stupid kid," she said. She was not upset; in fact she was incredibly touched her brother would go out of his way for her.
"Of course I told him there was no magical solution because there was no problem. Despite the fact you do not have monthly visits by Aunt Flow doesn't mean you cannot have children Leah."
"So, I can have children?" she asked. For the first time in a long time she was feeling something she had not felt in a long time. Hope.
"Yes. But I am afraid you will find your selections for mates rather limited."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, only another male who carries the shape-shifter gene can impregnate you."

Jake and Qahla played at the beach; they splashed one another with water.
They had explored the mini-La Push world and just as Qahla said it was just like La Push but there were no houses, buildings, stores, roads, cars or any other modern items.
He tried to explore outside La Push, but every time he took a path that led outside of this world he would find himself all the way on the other side of the land.
It was amazing to say the least.
If a little unnerving.
After they splashed one another to the point where they were both soaking wet they walked back to the beach.
"I wonder why Terra hasn't tried to bring me out?" Jake thought.
"Maybe he wanted to take a break himself," Qahla said.
"Did you read my mind again?" Jake asked.
"It's not something I can turn off Jake. Some of my powers...just stay on. Believe me if I could turn it off I would leave it off," he said.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to be mean. It is still odd to be around a child who can hear people's thoughts," Jake said.
Qahla smiled but it was not a happy smile.
"The others were less happy about it. I tried to ignore them. I could hear what they thought about me, I could hear how much they didn't like me. They called me monster, abomination, Utlapa's curse. I never understood what Utlapa did to me to make them hate me. But I am his son right?"
"What?" Jake asked shocked by what Qahla just said.
"Jake, its okay. I know the truth."
"But...how?"
"You have been wearing me around your neck for two weeks Jacob...your mind wonders."
"God Qahla, I am so, so, so sorry," Jake said, feeling awful Qahla knew the truth.
"It's okay...I...I think I always kind of knew. Father and mother loved me. But sometimes I got the sense they were keeping something from me. Every time I called Taha Aki father a part of him would get sad. And the others would slip and call me Utlapa's son, but I figured it was because he possessed fathers original body and sometimes...I did wonder if...maybe...just maybe...but I never had the heart to ask."
Jake bent down on one knee. He wrapped his arms around Qahla and gave him a hug.
"They were wrong Qahla, you are not a curse. You are a good boy."
"You really think so?" Qahla asked.
"Read my mind bud. I promise things will be different from now on. We will love you just as you deserve to be loved. We don't care about your freaky powers. Were all a bit freaky."
Qahla smiled, a single tear fell from his face.
"Thank you Jacob. But...I fear I will be more trouble than I am worth."
"Don't speak like that," Jake said firmly.
"You don't understand...I am getting these feelings. Bad feelings."
"What do you mean?"
"When I get these feelings something bad happens. I have been getting these feelings of late Jacob. And they concern you."
"Me?"
"Yeah. I have this terrible feeling something bad is going to happen to you soon."
"Qahla, you have had these feelings before right?"
Qahla nodded.
"And...how many times were you wrong?"
"None, I was always right."

"What do you mean only another male shape-shifter can get me pregnant!" Leah yelled.
"Has anyone ever told you, you have anger issues?" Terra asked rubbing his ear.
"Listen you immortal prick! I am not in the mood to be dicked around! So I suggest you quit the bullshit or I will rip you to shreds!"
"Like that's never happened before," Terra said.
"Please, just...stop," she said, her voice breaking. "You have no idea what it is like...all this time I thought I was a mistake. Hell, everyone did. I thought I was a genetic dead end, I thought no man would want a barren freak like me, I thought I would never have my happily ever after. But now...please, tell me I have to know."
Terra looked at her, the anger in her eyes replaced by pain and fear. Leah was very angry, but underneath all that rage was a scared lonely girl.
"Save your tears woman, save them for future sorrows. Like I said, female shape-shifters are very rare, usually the result of powerful bloodlines mixing together. Females are very treasured. You see, if a female mates with another male shape-shifter or someone with the gene it strengthens the gene, ensuring a stronger future generations of shifters."
"But can't I just...you know...do it with a guy? A normal guy?" Leah asked.
Terra shook his head. "Afraid not, although you can copulate with a normal human male, only one who carries the gene can impregnate you."
"So...if someone who is over twenty-six and the gene is no longer able to become active...would they be able to give me a child?"
"Yes, but before you start hunting for a normal gene carrying Quileute man let me tell you I have already done the research and the only ones are married or much older then you, that is unless you are into guys old enough to be your father."
"Shit! So what am I going to do now?" she asked. "All the wolves are either underage or imprinted," she said.
"Well, let's think. Who do you know that is of fatherhood material. Is not imprinted. And has the gene?"
"Not Seth," she said with a disgusted look.
"Of course not, so who is not underage or imprinted and is not related to you. Surely there is one wolf who fits the bill."
As a matter of fact there was one wolf. He was old enough, he was not imprinted and as of now he was Leah's only hope of having a child.
"Shit, it's Embry."

Miles away Sam drove home.
He was coming back from work; Emily was at the school teaching arts and crafts.
One of the benefits of having two packs was it made things more flexible for their human lives. Sam and many of the others were able to get steady jobs.
He did not want Emily to be the only one who was making money. He was the man; it was his job to provide.
He turned the corner and saw a car pulled to the side with the lights blinking. A woman stood on the side and was waving her arms, flagging him down.
He pulled up next to her car, he rolled down the window. "Can I help you ma'am?" he asked.
"Yes, thank God you are here," she said.
Sam fought the urge to gag. This woman smelled absolutely horrible. Like rotting flesh. He wanted to roll his window back up.
"I have been here for like an hour, my cell isn't working and I could use a hand."
"I would be happy to help," Sam lied.
He got out of the car and walked over to hers. The hood was up and he looked inside.
"Won't it start?" he asked.
"No," she said.
"Does it make any sounds?" he asked.
"Actually it runs fine," she said.
"Well, I am not seeing anything wrong," Sam said.
"Oh it works fine; I just lied to you so it would be easy to do this."
Sam turned around Just in time to see her blow something on her palm into his face. Whatever it was it burned his eyes and he began to gag. His lungs felt like they had razors in them.
"Corpse powder. Lethal to a normal human, but to a shape-shifter it will knock you out," the woman said with a nasty smile.
Sam took a step toward her, his hand shot out and grabbed her face. His nails dig into her skin, there was a sound of something wet tearing and a chunk of skin feel of her face.
Sam stared, he must be hallucinating, and it was like another layer of skin was beneath the other. Only this skin was darker and more wrinkled.
"Look what you did, you ruined my face," she hissed.
The darkness took Sam, and he fell unconscious.

"I can't believe it, the one guy who can give me a kid and its Embry freaking Call!" Leah said angrily.
"Well, the others could but I doubt the imprinted wolves would be willing and I don't think you have a taste for young flesh," Terra said.
"Can't you do a spell? I don't know; make it so I can find a nice normal guy?"
"No Leah. This is a law of nature, and I respect the laws of nature...most of the time. In any case I don't know why you are complaining. Embry is good looking enough; his bed play might not be too bad."
"What are you gay? "Leah asked.
"No, bi."
Leah gave him a funny look, like she could not believe what he just said.
Terra rolled his eyes. "Seriously, I do not understand why you mortals are always changing your views on sexual orientation. One generation it is good, one generation later it is disgusting, one generation later it is natural, another later it is unnatural. Seriously, make up your minds. Just go to him and ask him to father a child with you."
"What are you high? I can't just go to him and ask him that," she said.
"Why not? He might be honored. You are the second in command and you have chosen him to be the father of your children."
"Look, I don't know how you did things in the stone age but there are some things you are not so...up front about," Leah said.
"Do you find him unattractive?" Terra asked.
"No...he is good looking," Leah said.
"Then what is it?" Terra asked.
"When I have a kid with someone I want that person to be someone I love. I mean, he is my pack brother for God's sake," Leah said.
"I see, so you would like to have a strong emotional attachment to your baby's daddy," Terra said.
"Yes," Leah said.
"Well, what about Collin?"
"Collin? Littlesea?" Leah asked.
"Yes, I hear he has an attraction to you."
It was true, Before the split when it was just the ten of them everyone was painfully aware of the crush Collin had on Leah. He thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world. It was ironic, the one guy in the pack who saw her as a woman and not some bitter harpy was a little tween. God how the others used to make fun of him and her for that.
"He's fourteen, Terra. That is what we like to call jail bait. I am not a cradle robber," Leah said.
Terra shrugged. "Then wait for him to come of age. Four more years he will be eighteen and legal by the legal justice system standards."
"This is so weird," Leah said.
"Why? You want a child Leah; your only options are someone who carries a wolf gene. Your only options are Embry and the other younger wolves. At least with Embry he is a member of your pack and you don't have to wait. Collin is young but he does have feelings for you."
"A schoolboy crush," she said.
"You would be surprised at how a small crush can grow into a roaring flame."
"But he is so much younger than me," she said.
"So, your semi-immortal. Just keep on phasing until he reaches maturity. Or you could select one of the other younger wolves when they reach of age."
"I feel so dirty for thinking this. There still kids and here we are speaking of them like were dog breeders...and don't you say anything about that!"
Terra sighed. "Look, I am only telling you the information you need. It is up to you to decide how to use it," Terra said.
"Why are you telling me this?" Leah asked.
"Because, I hate ignorance Leah. In learning the truth you can no longer suffer and can move on as a person. Don't you feel better knowing the truth?"
"Yeah, but now I have a whole bunch of other problems to deal with," she said.
"Truth is never easy Leah and sometimes it can be more cruel then a lie."
Terra suddenly looked to the side, as if he heard something.
"Blast!"
He went running inside. Leah followed him, wondering what was wrong. She found him at the Black kitchen table. He was looking at the map of La Push.
"We have a hit," he said.
"What?"
"Those detection spells just picked up a signal. It is in La Push and is heading away."
"A monster?"
"No. Wake Jake up, we need to look into this," Terra said.
"Wake him up?" she looked over to Jake who was still sitting down with his legs crossed. "How do I do that?" she asked.
"A nice slap to the face should work."

Jake stared at Qahla.
"Do you know exactly what the bad thing is?" he asked.
"No...It's just a feeling. But a bad feeling," Qahla said. "The villagers used to blame bad things on me, I would try to warn them when I felt like something bad was going to happen, then it would happen and they would say I caused it."
"How long have you had this feeling?" Jake asked.
"It was weak at first, I didn't pay it any mind, but every day it grows stronger and stronger. That's how it was before Jake. The closer the danger comes, the stronger the feeling-"

SMACK!
"Damn it!" Jake yelled.
His face throbbed; it stung like he had been slapped. He looked up and saw Leah standing in front of him.
"Sorry to wake you from dream land but shit is going down and we need our alpha," she said.
"Did you have to slap me," he asked rubbing his cheek.
"Terra said to, now come on, something is wrong," she said.
Jake got up and they walked over to Terra who was still looking at the map, a deep frown on his face.
"What is it? Has something popped up?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, right in La Push," Terra said.
"Where is it at?" Jake asked.
He looked at the map, but he didn't see anything odd about it. It just looked like any map you could buy at a gas station.
"It's gone, it left La Push."
"Well that is good right?" Jake asked.
"No, you don't get it. This thing appeared suddenly past my detection spells. The second something supernatural passes by them I sense it and the map shows their location. But this thin, it just appeared suddenly in La Push and I want to know how the hell it got past my spells and why all of a sudden it was detected. Something is wrong, I can feel it."
Jake thought back to what Qahla said. Something bad was going to happen to him? Now Terra was saying he could feel something was wrong. Were the two connected? Jake hoped not.
"Where was this thing last at?" Jake asked.
Terra swiped his hand over the map. "Backtrack," he said.
A line appeared from the border of La Push; it twisted and curved along the lines of the path of a road.
"Hey, that's close to Sam and Emily's," Leah said.
"Yeah. Sam should be home by now, give him a call Leah," Jake asked.
She walked over to the phone; she picked it up and dialed Sam's number.
"What is she doing here anyway?" Jake asked.
"While you were off playing big brother I was chatting with her," Terra said.
"About what?" Jake asked.
"Things that don't concern you," Terra said.
"Guys, no one is answering," Leah said.
"Jacob, do you know the path Sam takes when he comes home from work?" Terra asked.
"Yeah, he usually takes...this route," Jake said pointing where the line began.
"Because I am thinking...the only reason this thing got past my spells is this is not some random monster, but someone skilled in the mystic arts. I am thinking, this thing happened across Sam and something happened that caused whatever it was using to hide it to stop working. I am thinking Sam is in trouble...in fact I know it."
"Leah, call Jared, tell him we need to find Sam!" Jake said.
Leah immediately began dialing the number. She got in contact with Jared and told him Sam was in trouble. After him she called Paul and a few of the other wolves in Sam's pack. They had a system in case something like this ever happened.
After a moment they all heard the sound of a wolf howling in the distance, Jared had phased and was summoning his pack.
"We need to go to this spot at once," Terra said pointing to the spot on the map where the line began. "I have a feeling this is where we must start."
After he collected a few things Jake drove everyone in his Rabbit to the location on the map. What they found was not good.
Sam's car was pulled to the side of the road. One would think it had been abandoned by its user after it broke down.
They all got out and looked around.
"Sam was here, I can smell him," Jake said.
"Something else too, man, what is that? It is nasty," Leah said. "Like something dead. Terra? What are you doing?"
Terra was bending down, looking at the road. He picked something up off the ground. Whatever it was he sniffed at it. "Found what is making that smell."
"What is it?" Jake asked walking over.
"Is that skin?" Leah asked with disgust at the blood covered sheet of flesh.
"Yes, human flesh," Terra said. He licked the skin and tasted the blood. "Female, blood type A+."
"Sick!" Leah said.
Terra laid it out for them to see, it was flesh, like someone had a part of their face ripped off. "It reeks of dark magic. This is how he or she got past my detection spells; they wrapped themselves in the skin of another and placed spells on it so they could slip through. Whoever they are they are good, the spells on this is tricky. But when this piece was ripped off they were exposed to my spells."
"What could have done this?" Jake asked.
"It was a skin-walker," Terra said.
"Skin-walker?" Jake asked.
"Wait? Isn't that like a shape-shifter?" Leah asked.
"Yes, but not your kind of Shape-shifter. The modern media often inaccurately portrays skin-walkers as being werewolves or some kind of mystical shape-shifting monster. But skin-walkers are actually witches who have committed some kind of great evil. They use the skins of animals to shape-shift in to animals themselves to help them spread their evil. They practice in curses and jinxes. They are very dangerous and evil. This one is really dangerous."
"What do you mean?" Jake asked.
"He or she was able to kidnap and alpha werewolf and the fact he or she is able to use human skins is a testament to his or her skill. It takes a high level of skill to use human skin in such a way."
"But why would this skin-walker take Sam?" Leah asked.
"If she or her is as good as I think she is then she would have sensed Qahla's power. I bet you anything she has used animal skins to spy on us. If she can use a human skin for such a purpose then she could use animal skins for the same purpose. I mean, why would anyone pay any attention to a bird in a tree or a bunny in a bush right?"
Leah and Jake looked around nervously.
"Could there be more?" Jake asked.
Terra shook his head. "Skin-Walkers are solitary beings. This one is working alone."
"But to what end?" Jake asked.
"To get to Qahla of course. And she is going to use Sam to do it."
"How?" Leah asked, fearing the answer.
Terra peered through the eye hole of the flesh.
"You really need to ask?"

Sam awoke in a dark room.
He heard the sound of something sharp scrapping against something dull.
He felt sick, like he ate something that did not agree with him. He had not felt physically ill since he had become a werewolf. Things were fuzzy, it was hard to think.
"Ah, you're awake," a voice said.
Sam tried to move, something about that voice was unsettling. But he was bound to some kind of table, bound with metal chains. Normally he could break them like they were glass but his body felt so weak. What was more disturbing was he was naked. Where was his clothes?
A face came in view. It was the woman from before, half the skin on her face was gone from where he ripped it off. This other skin was dark tan and very wrinkly. She held a sharp looking knife in one hand and a stone in the other.
"Good," she said.
She sat the stone down and reached into her mouth, pulling out her teeth. They were fake though, hiding a set of nasty, yellow jagged things that had once been teeth.
"Who...are..you?" Sam asked.
"My name is Deena and you are my new slave."
She grabbed his hair in a vice tight grip and brought the knife up, Sam thought she was going to cut his throat but instead she used it to cut off a clump of his hair.
"Well, you will be soon. I was going to skin you and pose as you so I could get close to the other alpha and take the stone. But I am sure that mystic you have, must know it's me thanks to the damage you caused to my skin," Deena said.
She walked away and Sam could not even look up to see what she was doing.
"So I will force you to help me."
"I won't help you do anything!" Sam growled.
"Silly boy, you won't have a choice. I have your hair and I know your true name Samuel Levi Uley. Soon I will have you under my thrall and you will help me whether you like it or not."
"What did you do to me?" Sam asked.
"Corpse powder. A skin-walker's best friend. We use it to curse our victims with all manner of woes and ills. Lucky you, your healing powers keep you from dying a slow agonizing death."
"What do you want?" Sam asked.
"I want the power you whalers hid away; I have never sensed such power! It will be mine!" Deena hissed. "With it I will spread all manner of disease and curses throughout the land. Hell, I will make the black plague look like the common cold. I will be the greatest skin-walker to have ever existed!"
"My pack will stop you," Sam said. "Leave now while you still can."
He heard Deena snort. "Please, once I am done your pack will be working for me."
"They only obey me," Sam said.
"I know, why do you think I chose you?" she asked with a sinister chuckle. "I have been spying on you all for weeks. Carefully watching you all, observing you, learning your habits and schedules. It was not easy; I almost didn't notice the mystic's detection spells. He is very good. But I am not amateur. I placed spells on the skin I wore as an added protection. The skin I am wearing now I got from a woman I skinned in Seattle. I believe you saw that on the television?"
Sam had. He recalled watching the news report of a body that had been found skinned in an abandoned building. Sam had not given it any thought, it was not the normal vampire killing method, and he figured it was just some new psycho running around.
Well, he was right in any case.

Fusedtwilight: Uh oh, Sam is kidnapped, an evil witch is running around and Leah's only hope for having a baby lies in Embry...awkward much.
