Sins of the Father
Chapter 14 Breaking the CurseFusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing and thanks to for the review.
Last chapter Sam was saved and Deena was defeated but not before she cursed Sam to remain in his wolf form, now it is up to Terra to break the curse, but can he really be trusted?
Emily was more than happy to see Sam. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him; tears escaped her eyes as she cried into her fur. "Oh God, oh Sam, I am so happy you are okay," she said. Sam took solace in her touch. He knew in a moment they would tell her the truth and he could not bear the idea of seeing her eyes filled with horror at his condition. He cursed Deena to hell for what she had done to him. He hoped the death Terra gave her was worse than being skinned alive. Emily continued to hug Sam and cry into his neck. Eventually Jared pulled her off him. "Come on now Emily, he is fine now," Jared said. "You're right, I am sorry, I don't know what is wrong with me," she said with a laugh wiping her eyes. "You're going through a hormonal phase do to your pregnancy," Terra said. All eyes snapped to him. "What!" everyone said. "Bark!" Sam said which in wolf translates to "what!" "You are pregnant. Oh...you didn't know did you?" Terra asked. "I am not pregnant," she said. "Yes you are. I know these things, trust me. I know a pregnant woman when I see one. I can feel the life growing in you already," he said. "But...but I have been using the pill," she said. "Tell me. I have you been taking certain vitamins?" Terra asked. "Yes. Only to stay healthy." "Well, some vitamins or antibiotics can negate the effects of a birth control pill," Terra said. "But..but..I...Sam..are..are we really having a baby?" Emily asked. "Maybe we should try a test before we jump the gun," Jared said. "Fine, ignore the instincts of the most powerful mystic in the world," Terra said. Emily had her hands on her stomach; a look of wonder was on her face. Sam nuzzled her with his nose, a low whine escaped his mouth. "What else am I going to find out today?" Emily asked shaking her head. "Well, Sam is cursed by a skin-walker so he is unable to return to his human form," Terra said. Everyone glared at Terra and Emily stared at him in shock. "What? Oh. Was the one of those sensitive things I was being to callous about?" Terra asked.
"You want to what?" Jake asked.
"I want to let Qahla out of the stone. We need his power to help fix Sam," Terra said. "But why do we need to release him? Why can't you just tap into his power like I did?" Jake asked. "Because, one of the duties Taha Aki charged me with was to train Qahla in the mystic arts. Teaching him to break a curse is a good lesson." "But the spirits-." "Won't be able to physically manifest unless we let him out for more than a day," Terra said. They were in Sam's back yard. Emily was inside drinking some tea while the others comforted her. Sam sat with them, giving Terra a death glare. Emily had feinted when they explained the situation. He was very angry with Terra as it was his fault she fell unconscious. "I do not want him around my home or my wife," Sam said. Terra looked at him with a frown. "He is perfectly safe to be around." "Yeah, you were not there when he summoned a storm with a thought." "What is it?" Jake asked. "Sam is bitching because he doesn't want Qahla around his mate. I suspect the fact she is pregnant is the reason for his increased protective instincts." "Is she really pregnant?" Jake asked. "How many times do I have to tell you idiots? YES! She is pregnant, knocked up, has a bun in the oven, and any other slang you can think of to describe her condition. About nine months from now she will pop out a whole new generation of Quileute who will pass down the wolf gene to future generations of Quileutes." "Do not talk about Emily like that!" Sam growled. Terra sighed. "Look, Qahla's power could help us break the curse sooner. The sooner we break the curse, the sooner Sam can man up and make an honest woman out of his mate. Unless you want to stay as a wolf? I am sure you can be a good father and a good pet at the same time." Sam growled at Terra, his hackles raised, his dagger like teeth bared. "You really think that is scary? You ripped my throat out, a little attitude isn't going to frighten me," Terra said. "Look. Why don't we go somewhere else then," Jake said. "If it will appease Sam and get us started then I agree," Terra said. "You two stay here, I am going to go tell Emily we are going...try not to kill him Sam," Jake said. "As if he could," Terra said. Jake left the two alone and headed back inside. Emily was with Jared and Paul, a cup of tea was in her hands. He looked around for Leah, she was nowhere in sight. "Where is Leah?" Jake asked. "She left after she made me some tea," Emily said. "She seemed kind of...quit," Jared said. Jake knew why she would be quit. Everyone did, but it was like the big elephant in the room. No one wanted to talk about it. Everyone knew Leah was hurting because Sam and Emily would be having kids. It was a story everyone knew. Leah and Sam were madly in love, Sam became a wolf and imprinted on Emily who was Leah's cousin and most favorite person in the whole world, they were so close they were like sisters. Emily tried to resist Sam, but you can only resist that level of devotion so much before you give in. Needless to say Leah was crushed. Emily and Sam hated themselves for the pain they put her through; they did love her so much. It got worse when Leah phased and had to spend the majority of her time in Sams head, seeing how much he loved Emily and adored her. And of course Leah became infertile and was dealing with her father's death. Needless to say it did not give Leah a very sunny disposition. Jake could only imagine what was going through her head right now. "We are getting ready to leave. Terra wants to use Qahlas power to help break the curse, but Sam doesn't want him around Emily," Jake said. "Can I see him before you go?" Emily asked. "Of course," Jake said. They walked out to go see Sam. His ears fell down when he saw Emily walking towards him. "Oh Sam," she said hugging him again. "Don't worry, they will fix you, you'll be human again. Then we can start getting ready for the baby." Sam smiled. He nuzzled her belly with his nose and she giggled. He looked at Jared and Paul and even though they could not read his mind now they knew what the look meant. "We will look after her bud," Paul said. "Will it hurt him?" Emily asked. "Could go either way. Breaking the curse could be painless or we might have to singly transmute his celss one by one which would cause a hellish amount of-" Terra saw the glares everyone was giving him. "Er, I mean, it will be fine. Like ripping a bandage off really quick." "You're lying," she said. "Well, every time I try to be truthful everyone gets all pissy. And people wonder why I am anti-social," he said with a sigh. "We'll be back soon Em," Jake said. She gave them all a hug. Even Terra. "Please, fix him," she said, the tears running down her face. Terra did not hug her back. "Alright, five seconds, please cease physical contact," he said gently prying her off him. They proceeded to walk to the woods. Sam kept on look back at Emily. Once they were out of view they continued to walk in silence. "Where is Leah?" Sam asked. "Sam wants to know where Leah is," Terra said. "I don't know. They said she left," Jake said. Sam winced. It had just hit him that Leah was upset because of the pregnancy issue. Jake saw Sam wince and knew he was thinking about Leah and the baby issue. "You got it all wrong, Leah is not upset. Well, not as much as you think," Terra said. "What do you mean?" Jake asked. Then he remembered the memory he got from Embry that came from Leah's mind, he had forgotten about it due to the present issues at hand. "Wait, didn't you tell Leah she could have kids?" Jake asked. "What? I thought she couldn't have children?" Sam asked. "She can, but it is a little more complicated for a female shape-shifter to have a child. The males simply plant their seed where ever they desire, but the females require a special kind of man to give them what they want," Terra said. "What does that mean?" Jake asked. "It means Leah has a very limited choice on who her baby daddy is," Terra said. "How do you know all this stuff?" Jake asked. "I have met my share of shifters. Wolves, bears, jaguars, hyenas, panthers. There are more of you out there then you think. You'd know that if you explored the world a little." "Maybe if we didn't have a duty to our tribe we would," Jake said. "Tell me Jake, will that duty keep you here when the time comes for the Cullen's to move? But then again I am sure your imprinting will make things alright. I mean, it's not like the wolves before you had dreams and a wonder lust that had to be put on hold," Terra said. Jake was finding his patience with the immortal was running thin. "Mind your own damn business Terra," he said. Terra stopped walking. "This is far enough, the stone please." Jake took the stone off from around his neck and handed it to Terra. "It's funny in a way, men have sacrificed hundreds of lives and used every form of resource to achieve this kind of power and it was just handed to Qahla by a mad man. Obscene isn't it?" "But we can fix him right? I mean that is what Taha Aki is doing right?" Jake asked. "Fix? That suggests something about him is broken. I prefer to think of it as bringing him down to our level. But even with the ritual Qahla will never be normal. Sure, he won't draw in spirits and give them physical form and he won't have the majority of his powers. But he is marked for the rest of his life. No ritual can fix that." He brought his finger to his mouth and bit it, drawing blood. "But it is better to have a little magic then to be over burdened with it. I know what it is like to have something you never wanted." A drop of Terra's blood fell on the stone. A second later Qahla stood in front of them. "Hi," he said waving at them. "Qahla, we have a problem," Jake said. "Oh no, did I do something bad?" he asked. "No," Jake said with a smile. "Sam has been cursed by an evil witch and we need your help fixing him." "Okay, I will change him back." Qahla turned his gaze to Sam and focused his power on him, willing him to return to his true form. Sam howled in pain. His body spasemd and shifted in unnatural ways. "I am afraid it isn't that simple," Terra said. Qahla stopped and stared at Sam, horrified by what happened. "What did I do wrong?" he asked. "Don't look at him with normal muddy eyes, use the sight you have that allows you to see what can't be seen," Terra said. Qahla looked back at Sam and focused. He could see past the physical normally, but this time he had to focus a little more into the spirit world to see the problem. As usual when he looked at Sam, he saw Sam the wolf, and Sam the man. They were both one in the same, both in one another. But there was something else now. It was black and slimy, it wrapped around Sams neck and limbs. "What is that?" Qahla asked. "A curse. It keeps him from turning human. When you tried to force him into human form the curse prevented him from doing it, had you continued you would have caused his body to rip itself apart," Terra said. "Oh! I am so, so, so sorry!" Qahla said giving Sam a bow. "We need to be careful Qahla, together we can break the curse, but you must do exactly what I tell you," Terra said. "I will," Qahla said. "Good. Now, first, we must examine and study the curse. We must try and figure out how it was created and if there are any weak spots we can exploit," Terra said. They walked over to Sam, Terra stood on his left side and Qahla on his right. They put their hands on his side and Sam had a feeling like static electricity was enveloping his body. "Just feel the curse Qahla, do not try to erode it in any way. Study it, let your mind feel it out." "I don't like it, it…it feels yucky in my head," Qahla said. "It is a curse. They are always yucky," Terra said. Hours passed, all Terra and Qahla did was just stand there and keep their hands on Sams sides. Finally Jake got tired of waiting, he had to ask. "Any progress?" he asked. "Not really. Deena was good. The curse was designed to break when Sam brought her the stone and killed you and your pack." "Well...what if Sam did give her the stone? What if he placed the stone in her hand. She didn't say she had to be alive when he did it," Qahla said. "I applaud you for your idea Qahla, that is what they refer to as thinking outside the box. But the curse would only be half done. Sam would have to kill Jake and his pack before the curse can be broken," Terra said. "But keep coming up with ideas, when breaking a curse it is always good to think of ways to break it that falls into the rules of the curse." "Your doing good Qahla, keep it up," Jake said. Qahla smiled at him. Happy he had done something right and was getting praised for it. "Well, I suggest we take a break. Let us go to my hut," Terra said. He turned and began to walk, Qahla followed him. Jake and Sam stood where they were. A thought had just occurred to the both of them. "Sam..where has Terra been living since he has been here?" It had been two weeks since Terra first started living with the Quileute's and not a single one of them had thought to ask where he was staying at. Terra was always just...there. He was always seen somewhere around La Push. Sometimes he was seen at Jacob's, trying to teach him how to spirit walk, or at the store, buying supplies, and sometimes he could be seen at the beach, lost in thought. None of the wolves ever talked to him, truth be told they were all rather intimidated by him. Terra had a habit of making you feel like you were a child. His eyes were the eyes of someone who had seen it all and done it all. Looking into them you got a sense of incalculable age and wisdom. You always gave him respect because all it took was one glare from those eyes and you would fall silent. So it was no wonder why no one asked him where he was staying. It was kind of funny in a way, to think someone who looked so young could command such respect seemed laughable. But despite his looks Terra was much older then he looked. Terra lived close to the boundary lines of La Push, deep in the woods. His house was made from logs stacked on one another and caked with mud. "Did you make that all by yourself?" Jake asked. "I had some help," Terra said. The door to the house opened and someone...or something came out. It was humanoid, naked and at a distance it could have been confused for a human. It looked like a mannequin, it was smooth and red, it had no genitalia and no facial features or any hair. Other than that it looked perfectly human, it had hands and feet and fingers and toes. There was a smell like mud coming from it. Jake realized the smell was clay; they did a lot of arts and crafts at the rez school. Sam recognized the smell because Emily worked with a lot of clay when she taught arts at the school. "What are those things?" Qahla asked. "Those are golems, I made them myself," Terra said. "What is a golem?" Qahla asked. "A creature made from earth or clay and brought to life using an animating spell. They were all the rage with Jewish mystics once. They make wonderful servants. They follow every instruction perfectly and you don't have to feed them and they require no rest." Terra turned to the golem. "We have guests, start a fire and put on some meat. Oh, and save some rare chunks for the wolf. Unless you eat your meat cooked Sam?" "I prefer cooked meat," Sam said. "Very well, cooked meat for everyone," Terra said, "have some chairs brought out as well." The golem turned and went back inside the house. A moment later three more golems came out with some lawn chairs. They sat them on the ground for us and Terra was the first one to sit. The golems returned to the house. The chimney on the top was smoking and the smell of cooking deer meat filled the air. "Well, sit down," Terra said. Jake and Qahla sat in the chairs. "Would you like some drinks?" Terra asked. Jake and Qahla declined. "Very well, to business. We will need more time before the curse can be broken, Deena was smart and clever. However it can and will be broken, we just need some more time. In the mean time I recommend you take over his pack Jake." "What?" "What?" Both Jake and Sam were shocked at the suggestion. "Why do I need to take control of his pack?" Jake asked. "Well, he is kind of cursed and all," Terra said. "I can still run my pack, this curse does not prevent me from communicating with my pack." "Breaking this curse will cause for much time and energy from us and you as well Sam. You can't run the pack and focus on breaking the curse as well. Besides, Jacob is supposed to be running all the wolves of the tribe. The only reason you took up the mantle was because he was to self-involved." "What do you mean self-involved?" Jake asked feeling indignant. "Well, you were too busy bitching and moaning about how you were a monster and you were too busy competing for the heart of Bella to care about your birthright. Kind of ironic how it was because of her you made your own pack." "I didn't make my own pack, I broke off and Seth and Leah followed. And I wasn't self-involved, I was going through a ton of issues thank you very much. How do you even know any of this?" Jake asked. "I have connections. Whatever the reason there is no point in keep the packs separate now. Since you have imprinted on the dhampier, no werewolf can harm her without having you hunt them down." "What's a dhampier?" Qahla asked. "A being who is part human and part vampire," Terra said. "I can't just take over Sam's pack. There are hierarchies, people have earned their rights and titles in both packs. We can't just rearrange everything," Jake said. "Then don't. There can only be one alpha, but there can be more than one beta. In fact in large wolf packs there are always more than one beta. It helps maintain the status quo and helps the alpha keep the wolves under check. Jared and Leah would still be the betas. You could even make Sam one as well. Don't you think it is time you relived him of such a responsibility? I mean, he is expecting a child now. Being a working father and alpha is an awful lot of work." "Break this damn curse and let me worry about my pack and family," Sam said. Terra reached into his pocket where the clay doll of Sam was hidden. He held it in his hand as he spoke. "That's the problem; it will take some time to break the curse. What are you going to do about your job? By the time we get done I can't guarantee you will have one by the time the curse is broken." Sam looked at Jake. Now that Terra was using the doll his words were having a stronger impact. "There is no reason to cause Emily any more stress now that she is with child." "I think we are jumping the shark a little," Jake said. "No, we are merely trying to arrange things so things will be easier for everyone." The door opened and some golems came out with plates of cooked deer meat. "Thanks you," Jake said as his golem handed him a plate and silverware. The golem stood next to him, just staring at him. Well, it had no eyes but still it stared at him, as if waiting for something. "Tell it to go away," Terra said. "Oh, I am good, thanks," Jake said. The golem turned and left. "Don't worry about offending them. The golems have no feelings. They are driven by my will alone and have no spirit or souls," Terra said. "You made them?" Jake asked. "Out of earth and clay," Terra said. "Is there nothing you can't do?" Jake asked. "Well...I can't die," Terra said. "But why would you want to die?" Qahla asked. "Because Qahla, I am very old. So old that I have seen everything and done everything. I have nothing left to live for and only desire to rest. I want to make that final journey into the unknown, I want to travel to the lands beyond this life and see my loved ones again and the only way that will happen is when I die." "How did you become immortal? Were you cursed?" Jake asked. "No." was all Terra said. They ate their food in silence. When the meat was eaten the golems came back out and took the plates away back inside the house. "Well, let us begin again," Terra said.
Back at the Clearwater house Leah sat on her bed.
Sam was okay, but he was stuck as a wolf, and now apparently he and Emily were having a baby. Leah was happy, angry, hurt, angry, angry and of course...angry. Happy Sam was safe and Terra would be able to fix him. Angry Emily was going to have his child. The child she should have given him. Angry that once again the wolf gene was screwing her over. Angry her only hope for a child was Embry Call. Talk about karma coming back to bite her in the ass. When she was new to this life, when the pain was still fresh and raw and hurting others was the only relief she had she used to bring up Embry's paternity all the time. She had apologized to him after she became the beta of Jakes pack. Embry had forgiven her. He was always like that. Of all the wolves he was the nicest, the most soft spoken. It always infuriated her. No matter what she said, no matter what she did she never pissed him off. Irritated, yes. But he never yelled at her, never snapped at her and called her names like the others. It was like he was a puddle and her insults were stones. They never left a mark, only ripples that quickly faded away. He was the same way with his mom, Tiffany. She didn't know he was a wolf. She thought he stayed out all night because he was going through a rebellious phase. She knew she yelled at him a lot for his perceived disobedience. But Embry just stood there and took it, never once talking back or trying to defend himself. He knew his mom was under a lot of stress and his running out late at night wasn't helping, but he couldn't tell her the truth and risk everyone safety. It got better once so many wolves phased. With so many wolves now it was much easier for all of us to work out a proper schedule. Now Embry didn't go out as often and so he wasn't getting into as much trouble, his mom thought he was finally getting out of his rebellious phase. He was funny, he knew how to make a good joke and like Jake and Quil he loved cars. She knew he had dreams to open a garage with Jake and Quil. And he had a nice smile, and from what she saw of his body... "I can't believe I am even thinking about this," she growled. There was a knock on her door. She knew it was Seth. She recognized the sounds of his body movement and heard the sounds of his breathing. "Go away!" she yelled. She heard the door open and close and sighed. She felt Seth sit down next to her. "So, rumor has it Emily is pregnant," Seth said. "How did you find out so quickly?" she asked. "Emily has been calling and telling everyone. I was with mom over at Billy's explaining what happened when Emily called looking for Rachel and she told mom the good news." "Yeah, good news," Leah said. "Leah, I know you are upset. I know this is just another reminder of what you lost, but I was talking to Terra and he said-" "I know, we already talked," she said. "You did?" "Yeah. And two things. First," she turned around and punched him in the shoulder. "Ow!" "That is for telling a stranger my business. Second," She leaned forward and have him a hug. "Thank you for caring enough to ask." Seth smiled and hugged her back. "I just want you to be happy Leah," he said. "I know. Thank you," she said. They let go of one another. "So what did he say?" Seth asked. "He said I can only have kids with someone who has the wolf gene," she said. "What?" Leah explained to him the situation. How only Embry could give her what she wanted. "So what are you going to do Leah?" Seth asked. "I don't know. I have wanted this for so desperately for so long. But it's like, how do I go to him and tell him my situation? I mean it's just so weird to ask a guy to be the father of your child. And it's not like I have given him a good reason to like me." "Trust me, Embry likes you plenty," Seth said with a smile. "I mean, you have gotten better since you joined Jake's pack." "Yeah, but still. Fatherhood isn't something to be taken lightly; I can't pressure him to be something he isn't ready to be. But I am afraid if I wait too long it will pass me by." "I think you should talk to him about this Leah. Tell him your situation and maybe he will understand," Seth said. "God, I wish we had older un-imprinted wolves. It's either Embry or I have to wait for the pups to grow up and I do not want the father of my baby to be young enough to be my little brother." "Why don't you just date him? Ask him out? Maybe if you get to know him a little bit better this will be easier for you," Seth said. "But what if he imprints? Lord knows it is happening left and right lately...on the other hand...maybe I should take him out on a date. Seth, I am going to need you to stay out of the house tonight," Leah said. "Why?" Seth asked. "Because, tonight I am going to be making a baby," Leah said. "It takes two to make a baby Leah. I don't think Embry will be as willing to have one as you are," Seth said. "Seth, boys are not interested in having a baby, they are more concerned with the part about making one."Fusedtwilight: So Emily is pregnant, Qahla is about to learn how to break a curse and Leah is on a mission to make a baby. Things are about to get really crazy around La Push soon.
