Chapter 2

Fusedtwilight: Sorry about chapter two, it was from my other story pups and tykes i accidently added it to this one!.

Sara P.O.V

I got ready to go out hunting with the others. We had decided to treat ourselves to some polar bears today and were going to run further up north. I was in my room with Kate and Tanya having some girl talk.

“So how is Embry?” Tanya asked as she curled my hair.

“Great, they have been going through a lot down in Washington.” I said.

“So we have heard. I think when Carlisle and the others move from Forks we should move there, that’s where all the fun is.” Kate said as she painted her nails.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to go back to Forks, if it wasn’t for Embry I would stay here,” I said.

“I don’t blame you,” Tanya said. “Forks is okay for a while but spending your whole life there, that is boring.”

“It wasn’t Forks, it was my mother,” I said softly.

“Sweetie, she can’t hurt you anymore.” Tanya said patting my shoulder.

“No, but there are so many memories back there, the only good ones involve Embry.” I said.

“Aww, young love. Tanya remembers when we were that age?” Kate said.

“You really do love him don’t you?” Tanya asked.

“Yes,” I said with a smile.

“I don’t know how you can stand the smell of him.” Kate said.

“Kate!” Tanya chastised.

“Don’t get me wrong, he’s okay and all but the smell,” she gagged.

“We don’t smell like roses to them you know,” I said.

“He does look fine with no shirt though.” Kate said.

“Kate! Don’t say that!” I said.

“Why? It’s true,” she shrugged her shoulders.

“What about Garrett?” I asked.

“I love him, doesn’t mean I can’t complement a guy for having an awesome six pack.” she smiled. If I could still blush I would.

“I heard that woman!” Garrett called from downstairs.

“Aw shut up!” Kate shouted stomping her foot on the ground. She looked up at us and smiled.

“God I love that man.”

We all laughed at that. “So I was talking to Eleazar and he wants you to drink as much as you can. Tomorrow we’ll go into town and see how well you do around humans.” Tanya said.

“I don’t know, I’m only three months old.” I said. That was weird to say.

“Bella nailed it as soon as she woke up.” Kate said.

“Well Bella is…Bella,” I said.

“Relax, you have been around humans before.” Tanya said.

“Yeah but Jasper was there and I still wanted to drink their blood,” I said. “What if my power activates and makes you all thirsty too?” I asked.

“Then don’t activate your power.” Kate said shrugging her shoulders.

“It activates itself, you know that.”

“Relax, if you get too antsy just get out of there, that’s all.”

I sighed. “This sucks, I thought being a vampire was supposed to be more fun.”

“It’s tough in the beginning, I still remember how hard it was when I became a vampire,” Kate said. “And my power was a pain to control, it took me forever to not touch someone and shock them.”

Kate was a living taser. When she touches someone they get a powerful shock that brings them down for a second or two, which is all the time a vampire would need.

“Tell me about it, I remember this one time Kate hooked up with a human and nearly killed him,” Tanya said.

“Mmmm, good thing for me he liked the pain,” Kate said.

“Didn’t he wonder why you were shocking him?” I asked trying to ignore the sex talk.

“Oh I killed him after we were done,” Kate said.

I did a double take. “What?”

Kate laughed. “We didn’t start out as vegetarians Sara. After our mother died it was just me, Tanya and…Irina. We had always been…a bit lusty bunch, but after our mother died it got worse. It was the only thing we had to fill the void of her loss. At first we only targeted rapists, murders, molesters. After we had out fill of them we would dispose of them. But there were times when we craved gentler men, more pure men, But we knew we would not be able to control ourselves.”

“What changed?” I asked curious.

“I fell in love,” Tanya said. “He was a farm boy in the mother country. His name was Peter. He was my siren.”

I clapped my hands to my mouth. For vampires there is one human in a million whose blood is so powerful, so sweet, the blood calls to the said vampire causing the most powerful and intense craving for blood that even a new born could feel. Vincent craved my blood. It was my blood that called to him and made him hunt me, my blood that killed my mother and led me to this life.

“I stalked him, learning his patterns, his behavior. I should have swooped in a finished him, but I wanted to savor it. Plus he was good looking. Long ago we learned to mix the two hungers, blood and flesh. One cold winter’s night he went out to hunt and I followed him. He was hunting a bear and before he killed it, it wounded him. He fell unconscious and I stood over him ready to finish him off. But something stopped me, I didn’t know what. All I knew is something rose up in me and fought the thirst. In my desperation for blood I fell upon the bear and drank from it. It wasn’t as good as a humans but it helped me think straight.” She got up from behind me and sat in front of me.

“Me and Irina knew she was stalking him, but we decided to let nature run its course,” Kate said

“After I drank from the bear I took Peter home and tended to his wounds. I was confused. Why didn’t finish him off and be done with it? See in that time I stalked this young lonely man…I fell in love with him.” She took a deep breath and smiled. “He fell in a coma and I took care of him, cut his wood, hunted animals to feed him, feeding off their blood and feeding him the meat. Soon I noticed my eyes were turning gold.”

“I can’t imagine having such powerful blood so vulnerable and easily taken,” I said. My mouth was watering with venom at the thought. I could feel Tanya’s desire. After all these years she still craved his blood.

“Not long after we came looking for her, imagine our surprise when we found her caring for the man and with golden eyes. We tried to convince her to drain him and leave. The memory of the Volturi killing our mother was still fresh in our minds and we were quiet upset. But when she told us how she had become resistant to human blood, so much so she had actually walked into the nearby human village and got some supplies for Peter.”

“When I told them this I convinced them to try it, they didn’t like it at first but soon they too had golden eyes.” Tanya said.

“After a while I went to town and had a normal human male, and I did not kill him,” Kate said. “We realized drinking animal blood gave us control we had lacked before, we settled at Peters and lived with him and Tanya.”

“How long was he in a coma for?” I asked.

“Four months,” Tanya said.

“Didn’t he have friends or family who came to look in on him?” I asked.

“No, he was a hermit, only went into town for supplies. Was known to the people but they ignored him. But after four months he awoke. It was night and the moon was out. I remember knitting and hearing a gasp, I turned and saw Peter awake. I stared at him, not knowing what to do. Then he took my hand in his and asked if I was an angel. That night we made love.” She smiled, but it was sad. “There were moments I thought I would lose control, but I knew I could not stop if I wanted. His blood called to me but I used my love for him and my new found humanity to resist.”

“Then what happened?”

“We left.”

“That’s it? You just left?”

“Well after we helped him get back on his feet we left. He tried to get me to stay, to marry him; he said he fell in love with me with one single look, that he wanted me to be the mother of his children and wanted to grow old with me. But I did not wish to turn him into one of us. The thought of turning my sweet Peter into a monster and denying him such human freedoms made me too sad to even try.”

“Did he know?”

“No, we told him we were nomadic women and had stumbled upon his body and had cared for him. He tried to get me to stay but we left.”

“Did you ever see him again?” I asked.

“Sometimes I would secretly visit him. Seven years after I left he married a girl who looked a lot like me. I visited every so often. Watching as they had children and grew old together. I was happy for him; I still yearned for him, still yearned for his touch. My body was satisfied with the desire for his touch, but it was easily quenched with the men I took to my bed. My heart how ever could not be satisfied.” I could feel her desire, like a pulsing burning thing. It wasn’t just his blood she craved, it was him. “But he was happy, I watched over him until he died of old age, then I left leaving his children to their own lives.” She gave a bitter laugh. “It is funny, he married a girl who looked like me, and I feel for a boy who looked like him.”

“Who?”

“Edward.”

“Edward!”

“Yes, it wasn’t just his personality, it was his looks. He was like a more serious version of my Peter. Only his hair is bronze where Peter’s was black, and Peter had more muscle on him.”

“Wow. What did you all do after that?” I asked.

“We continued to have affairs with mortal men, now that we had gotten some self control we could once again love all men equally as we once did. I won’t say we slipped here and there. Eventually we came to Alaska and settled here. We wanted to fast from being around humans, hoping a few decades of living alone and on animal blood would lower our desire for human blood.”

“Then we met Carmen and Eleazar and we became one big happy family. We were hesitant about them, what with their connections to the Volturi and all. But when we saw how willing Eleazar and Carmen were to try vampire blood we accepted them,” Kate said.

“Wow, that’s amazing,” I said.

“Indeed, now let’s get going, there’s a bunch of bears waiting for us and we best not keep them waiting,” Tanya smiled.

“You guys go on, I’ll be right on out.” I said.

They left and I was alone in my room. I got up and walked over to my dresser. There was a wooden box made from mahogany wood and had oriental wolf designs on it. On top of the box was a picture of two wolves in a circle entwining one another. Embry had Jake help him make it. The symbol was Quileute. I opened the box and inside was a charm bracelet.

It came with the box. It was how Embry’s people got engaged. Instead of rings they gave charm bracelets. After the incident with Vincent, Embry asked me to marry him. I said yes.

So far only he and I knew about it, do to…obvious reasons we decided to wait to tell. I felt kind of bad for keeping it from Tanya and the others. But If the wolves from Sam’s pack found out I know they would be harsh to Embry.

I gently picked up the charm and felt the smooth leather under my fingers. Tanya’s story struck a nerve in me. After all these years. She still craved the blood and love of a man who lived a millennia ago. But she let him go because it was the only way he could have the things in life that would make him happy.

What did I have to offer Embry? How could I ask him to stay young and watch his friends and family grow old and die? How can I ask him to live with the creatures he was supposed to hunt and kill?

I sighed and put the bracelet away. I do not think I could give him up. The thought of seeing him with another woman and having a family with her made my blood….uh I mean…whatever I had run cold…well colder then what I already was.

I wouldn’t mind living in La Push. But it isn’t very vampire friendly and we wouldn’t be able to live there for long, people would notice I wasn’t ageing, plus the locals weren’t vampire friendly.

I wanted Embry to be happy, but I don’t know if I could make him happy. What am I going to do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Embry P.O.V

I never had a father.

I mean I had a father, I just never met him. Or maybe I did. My mother was from Makah, I thought my father had been from there too. Until I had phased. Only a Quileute had the gene to become a wolf. My choices were Billy Black, Joshua Uley, or Quill senior.

So either Jake’s dad, Sam’s dad, or Quil’s dad who was also called Quil. One of them had an affair with my mom and I was the result. Did mom know what she was getting into? Did she know she was committing adultery? I don’t know.

I had let it go for a while. I didn’t want to risk it being Billy or Quil. Quil died in a car accident years ago and Billy just got Rachel back. In finding out who my father was I would could tear apart a family apart.

For over a year I did my best to ignore it. But three months ago I almost died. Vincent, the vampire who turned Sara hunted her down, enthralled by her beauty he wanted to make her his mate. He gathered a small army to help him take her but we defeated him.

Or rather Sara did. I fought him but he put his fist through my gut, it almost killed me. Had it not been for Sara using her power to stop him we wouldn’t have made it? My brush with death gave me a new lease on life and a new desire to learn who my father was.

While I was in a recovering coma Jake had told my mom our secret. She freaked and begged me to stop, to just be a normal teenager…like that was going to happen. I tried to get her to tell me who my father was but she refused. Things were tense now between us. Her knowing what I now was and her not telling me who my father was made things difficult. I had asked time and time again but she always refused to tell me.

It was getting to the point I was considering going to Edward and asking him to read her mind and find out for me. I was getting that desperate. But Edward had already made it clear he would not willingly violate a person’s mind like that.

I could get a D.N.A test done, but I’m not sure Quil and Jake would do it willingly. Sam would do it but he would try to lecture me to forget it and move on. I was getting desperate. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

“Let me get this straight,” Jamie said. “You want me to donate some of my D.N.A and help you get D.N.A from your friends so you can go behind their backs and do a test to see who your daddy is?”

“Basically? Yes.” I said.

We were in the woods alone. Normally Jamie would have one or more wolves following him because of his probation. Five months ago Jamie killed another wolf. Alex had been Sam’s cousin and she had become a wolf because Sam had given her an emergency blood transfusion.

It had the unpredicted result of turning her into a wolf. But something went wrong; slowly she became more wolf in mind and was turning insane. She even attacked Esme and tore her to pieces and would have killed Leah had Jamie not killed her.

The way he did it was messed up though. He used Ashley, Alex‘s sister and his imprint to lure Alex in close then he snapped her neck. One of the things about Jamie was his condition let him resist the imprint. To say he was controversial was too mild a term.

As punishment for killing Alex he was to spend the rest of his life in La Push, he was too dangerous to let wonder around. If he ever left La Push he would be killed. And he was to be under constant watch.

I relieved the two watchdogs telling them I would watch Jamie. They didn’t argue people would rather patrol for a whole month then look after Jamie for even an hour. They were afraid of him and he was the most arrogant and annoying kid I ever met.

Jamie laughed. “Oh boy, this is rich. You must be really desperate if you want my help,” he said.

“Please, I need your help.” I said.

“And I thought you didn’t like me,” he grinned. “Why should I help you, in case you have forgotten I am still in hot water over the whole Alex incident, why should I risk my neck so you can know who your daddy is?”

I thought it was messed up he could refer to coldly murdering a person as an incident. But I needed his help. As disturbing as that sounds. “Look if you do this for me I will owe you a favor. I know you like collecting those.” I said.

He crossed his arms and thought for a second. “Alright, I have been bored any way, I’ll give my bit and see if I can get you the others. That way you can keep your hands squeaky clean.”

“I’m not trying to avoid anything!” I argued.

“Whatever, I do dirty work, that’s why people come to me, they need something done they don’t want to sully themselves with so they come to me. But remember you will owe me for this,” Jamie said. “In fact I am calling it in now.”

“What? You haven’t done anything yet!”

“I have agreed to give you a sample of my hair, the deal was I help you I get a favor and since I have helped you by giving you my hair I get to call in a favor. So why do you want to know who your father is so bad?”

“What?” I asked, surprised he was showing such interest.

“I repeat. Why do you want to know who your father is so bad?”

“Because, I never had a father.” I said.

“So, I never knew Joshua, you turned out okay without a father, why would having one now make a difference?”

“Three months ago I almost died. They say you should have no regrets before you die, the only regret I thought I had was not being strong enough to protect Sara. But I realized I regretted not knowing who he was. I need to know, I need to know where I come from, I need to know why I was born, I need to know how I started out. I tried to forget about it so I wouldn’t hurt my friends, but after almost dying…I have to know.”

“If you do find out whom your father is…what will you do? If its Joshua not much you can do, he’s been gone forever.”

“If it is him I will do everything I can to not be him.” I said.

“And if it is one of your friend’s fathers? Will you tell them? They have a right to know to you know, you can‘t just pretend this is all about you.”

“Don’t patronize me freak!” I growled at him. He gave me cold eyes that sent chills down my spine. I remembered who I was dealing with and calmed down. “I know this will affect a lot of people. I know I am being selfish, but something inside me is compelling me to know the truth.”

“Hey if it makes you happy I’m all for it, I have always believed you need to be ruthless to get what you want. Just know if you do this there could be consequences.”

“I know, and I am willing to pay for it.,” I said.

Jamie looked at me and smiled. “Alright then, so who are you going to get to do the tests? Carlisle I assume?”

“He’s the only one who can do the tests for free and quickly.” I said.

“I think you need to talk to Jake and Quil about this. This is too big to not get them involved.”

“What about Sam?” I asked.

“One brother is enough don’t you think?” he said.

“Shouldn’t we tell him? He has as much in this as us.”

“Sam has made his peace that you could be his brother, but if we tell him you know he will be a roadblock. He will try to convince you to stop this,” he said.

“Alright I’ll tell Jake and Quil.” I said.

“And if they say no I will get some sample from them and you can do the test.”

“I don’t want to lie to them.” I said.

“Sometimes in order to get what we want we must lie. It’s the only option you have Embry, just make sure you don’t get cold feat half way through or have any regrets about this, once you know this you can’t un-know it.”

“I know, but I am looking at eternity soon and I can’t spend the rest of my life not knowing, that I am certain,” I said.

“Speaking of that I feel I should inform you I have heard some of Sam’s boys talking about you and your girlfriend.” Jamie said.

“And?” I asked.

“If I were you I would keep her as far from La Push as you can. They are very much afraid of her. Terrified really, they are afraid she will control them and make them her slaves.”

“Idiots!” I growl.

“I agree,” Jamie said. “Personally I could care less but I figure since we are going to be partners in crime might as well give you a heads up.”

I escorted him back to Sam’s. After that I decided to go see Jake. He was my best friend and my Alpha; I would talk to him and then Quil. I hope to God they say yes, either way I will find out.

Whether they like it or not.
