Sin's Of The Father
Chapter 2
Ephraim's Book of Secrets
Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing, thanks to Purpleranger for your reviews.
This chapter we move to the present and Jake receives mail from a very unexpected person.
There are many kinds of secrets in the world.
There are the secrets we keep to avoid someone being hurt.
There are secrets we keep to keep ourselves from being hurt.
There are secrets we keep because they are not ours to tell.
And there are secrets that are kept to keep a person safe.
Like many things in life there are many points of view on secrets.
Parents tell their children secrets are bad, secrets are like lies. We tell them we should never keep secrets, truth and honesty is what is best.
So it is ironic that while parents tell their children these things, they are in fact lying already.
Everyone has a secret. Some are small and don't really matter. Others could cause great catastrophe if learned.
This story takes place on the small reservation of La Push in the state of Washington.
Most people would think the small little rez had no secrets to keep, one look and you would think there were no secrets to be had.
But you would be wrong. La Push was filled with secrets.
There were the secrets the elders kept from the rest of the tribe.
There were the secrets a certain group of Quileute youths kept from their families and friends.
Then, there was the secret of the Black family. A secret that not a single one of them knew, a secret that was about to come out in a very big way.
Jacob Black had been through a lot in just two years.
He fell in love, found out he was a werewolf, lost the woman he loved to a vampire, contemplated suicide, imprinted on the love child of his friend and his rival/enemy, formed his own pack of wolves and now he was finally regaining some normalcy in his life.
Or as much normalcy as a teenage werewolf could get.
Everything was working out for him. His sister was still in La Push, although it was because Paul had imprinted on her and he was still at the Black's more than Jacob or his father liked they were glad it kept Rachel around a little longer.
He and Bella were still friends, he no longer pined after her like he once did, and even though she was a vampire and married they still acted like how they did during those months before he phased and Edward was gone. Only now there was nothing romantic at all about it.
Edward and he were closer, though they were not friends, a bit of their rivalry still existed, though Jacob now trusted Edward to fight by his side and if Edward needed him for a favor he was happy to help.
His pack was running smoothly, he had made Leah his beta and she was doing a fine job. Being away from Sam had greatly improved her attitude.
Speaking of Sam, they had been able to forgive and forget what happened when Jake left to protect Bella. There was peace between the two packs and they worked very well together.
Peace was also strong between the Cullens and the wolves. The imprint between him and Nessie had opened doors no one thought could be opened before.
And of course there was the little imprint herself, his sweet little Nessie.
There was once a time when he ragged on Quil in a good humored way for imprinting on Claire, but now the tables were turned as he had imprinted on a girl who wasn't an hour old before he imprinted on her.
There had been no vampires besides the Cullens in the area since the Volturi confrontation. Things were starting to get back to their boring routine.
Jacob was more than happy for this, his life had been filled with so much drama the last few years, he welcomed the peace.
He was in his garage now, his pack was with him. He was working on his rabbit, making some adjustments to it. Quil, Embry and Seth watched him, Seth did not know as much about vehicles as Jake and the others but was eager to learn.
Leah sat on a stool, drinking a soda, bored out of her mind. Wondering how she had let Seth talk her into coming to hang out at Jake's.
It was on her list of things to do, to get a life.
At the moment she was listening to Jake, Embry and Quil have a talk that had come up more than once.
There were not many jobs to be had on the reservation. Even in Forks jobs were not many. Jake, Embry and Quil all had loved cars, trucks and bikes since they were little, by the time they were teenagers they were all capable of taking a car apart and fixing it.
It was Embry's idea one day that they should open their own garage.
"Come on guys, thinks about it," he said. "We open our own shop, between the three of us we can fix anything. We can make some real money. Quil you can work both at your family's store and the shop so more money for you and Jake and I need the money."
It was true. Being a werewolf had many perks but money was not one of them and all three of them had needs that every teenage boy had and the only way to get it was money.
Embry was more determined then Quil or Jake to open a garage. Quil and Jake liked the idea of it all, but they had their doubts.
"And when would we do this?" Quil asked.
"As soon as we graduate," Embry said.
That could be a while. Like many wolves the three of them had to put their education on hold. But since things had been calm and peaceful they had resumed their education. They still had a lot of catching up to do though.
"We don't even have enough money to open our own place," Quil said.
For every problem Quil and Jake had Embry had a solution too.
"Easy, we start saving up every penny. Between the three of us I am sure we can make enough money," Embry said.
"Hey Jake, maybe you could ask the Cullens for a loan," Quil laughed.
Jake gave him a small glare. The Cullen's were immensely rich and giving him the money needed to start his own auto-repair shop was nothing.
But Jake was not comfortable asking them for money. His whole life he had to work to obtain the things he wanted, it was not in his nature to ask for favors. Plus he did not want to be one of those people who leech off of their rich in-laws.
"I think it would be cool if you guys opened up a garage," Seth said.
The boys continued to talk about the possibility. A little while later they heard the sound of a vehicle approaching the house. Jake went out to see who it was and was surprised to see it was the mail man. It was a bit late for mail.
The man got out, a small, very brown package, tied with thin strings.
"Hello Jake," the mailman greeted.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Jake asked politely .
"Good, good," the man said.
He looked like he was between nervous and anxious. He held the package in his arms like it was something very important.
"Did someone send us something?" Jake asked, wondering why the mailman, who had been delivering mail to the Black family for over a decade was acting so strange.
"Yes...well...you see." The mailman held out the package to Jake. "I can't believe I am actually doing this. This old things has been sitting around gathering dust and webs since before I was born. Can't tell you how many times my colleges and I were tempted to open it."
He handed the package to Jacob. Acting as though he was handing him some precious piece of history.
"We used to have a laugh about it, I mean who addresses a package to their family in the future?" the mailman asked.
Jake looked confused. He looked at the package. It was extremely light, almost as if it was empty. The package was browned greatly from age. It felt as if it would tear if he just breathed on it.
There was writing on the top of the package. It was very old and almost to faded for him to read.
But the letters spelled the address to his house. Jacob checked to see who it was from. His eyes widened in shock .
"Thank you," he said to the mailman.
"Crazy I know. You'll have to let me know what it is later. We have been dying to know what is in that thing. Can't tell you how many times we were tempted to open the damn thing. But rules are rules. Well, take care Jake. I hope whatever is in that thing is worth the wait."
The mailman turned and got back in his car and drove off. Jacob stared at the package in his hands in shock. Unable to believe what he held in his hands.
He walked back into the garage. The boys were too busy talking to have noticed his conversation with the mailman. Leah however still bored had listened in and was curious as to what Jacob had.
"What is it?" she asked.
Jake looked at her, his face full of shock.
"It's from my great-grandfather, Ephraim Black," he said.

There is a secret world, the supernatural world.
Once upon a time it was known to all mortals, but over time and through the effort of many the humans now believed there was no such thing as monsters.
The supernatural world has many creatures in it. Vampires, hybrids, Werewolves and shape-shifters.
(Mermaids and Ghosts too but that's another story)
La Push is home to many Shape-shifters. Particularly the wolf strain. The other kind of Werewolves, known as the children of the moon are different from the Shape-shifters of La Push.
For one they only transform at night or on a full moon, the La Push wolves transform when ever they please and manage to keep their humanity in wolf form.
Another is the children of the moon pass on their curse through a bite. The La Push wolves genetically inherit this trait.
Throughout history these chosen few protected the tribe from many threats. Particularly vampires.
The wolves of La Push can trace their power back to the first wolf, the great chief Taha Aki. He had many sons and those sons had children of their own, thus passing down the wolf gene to future generations.
The wolf gene exists in many people. Though it is strongest in three families. The Black family, the Atera family and the Uley family.
For untold generations members of these three families' would be called to protect the tribe.
Since vampires only traveled in pairs or alone, the most the tribe ever had was three wolves at a time.
But as of recent years the population is seventeen.
The wolf gene is a tricky thing. Normally a human with the gene is for all intents and purposes human. But between puberty and the age of twenty five the gene becomes active. However it is not until the carrier comes across the scent of a vampire that the gene activates, preparing the body for the threat of a vampire attack.
This process is slow, taking weeks to activate. The symptoms of a transformation are increased height and muscle mass, increase in body temperature and a very sharp rise in their anger.
The rage was to release chemicals into the body the gene needed to complete the transformations. The gene is really sensitive to these anger chemicals and even after a wolf has phased they continue to have an intense and short temper. But over time these intense feelings can be tamed.
Once the carrier's gene is ready all the gene needs is the right level of aggression and the transformation is instantaneous.
However if the carrier does not come across a vampire scent by the time he has reached twenty-five the gene will become permanently inactive, but will continued to be passed to future generations.
All in all it is a wonderfully complicated system.
As per usual the three family lines were called to do their duty. But due to the massive amount of vampires in the area, over time even those with the weakest wolf blood, who could trace an ancestor from one of the three families from generations ago were called.
Such is the nature of the gene, those with the strongest wolf blood are called, which has always been the Black's, Atera's and Uley's. But La Push is a small reservation and just about everyone can trace a family link to anyone.
It was assumed only males were capable of being wolves, but Leah Clearwater proved everyone wrong. She was the first and only female shape-shifting wolf in La Push history.
No one knew why Leah phased, some said she was a freak, some said she was a mutation. But if they did their research, they would find the Clearwater family had the strongest wolf blood, stronger then the Black's, Atera's or the Uley's.
Over the generations the Clearwater family welcomed the blood of people who carried the gene from the three families. Both Leah and Seth had genes that came from all three of the families.
A more possible explanation for Leah's transformation is of all the wolves, she simply had the strongest wolf blood.
The previous pack was the usual three. One of them Was Ephraim Black. The former chief of La Push. Ephraim caused some controversy when he made a treaty with non-human eating vampires called the Cullens.
He was amazed at the possibility of such a human-like coven existing and believed they were worthy to be allowed to live.
Little did he know the effects of his decision would affect his people many years later. Particularly how his own great-grandson would imprint on the hybrid child of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen.
But what no one knew was that Ephraim had made another deal with a much more ancient being. He swore to keep this deal a secret, though it weighed heavy on his heart.
But before he died Ephraim left behind a small diary that told who ever read it the big secret.
He arranged it so the package would be sent to his family on a certain date, long after he had passed.
The secret was too big for him to die peacefully, without knowing someone out there knew it. So in case something went wrong, the tribe would be ready.
But as Jacob was finding out his great-grandfather wrote the book in Quileute and sadly...Jake had not been keeping up with his own language.

Jacob, Leah, Seth, Embry and Quil stared at the open book.
They stared at it, as if it would suddenly turn into English and reveal its secrets.
"I can't believe you can't speak Quileute. You're the future chief of La Push you jackass," Leah complained.
"You can't speak it either Leah," Jake shot back.
"Well I am not the future chief, you are!" Leah grumbled.
"I can't believe we have a book written in our native language and we can barely ready it," Embry said feeling some shame.
In elementary school Quileute children are taught some of their language, but few actually decide to learn the whole thing. A few of the elders knew how to speak the whole thing as did a few other members of the tribe.
Some were trying to rescue it before it joined a long list of forgotten languages.
"Why don't we just ask Billy to translate it? He can read and speak it," Quil said.
"Billy is with Charlie and a few of their friends, they went on that vacation to see the big game remember?" Jake said.
"What about Sue?" Embry suggested.
"She is with Charlie," Leah said looking angry.
It was a sore subject for Leah. Her mom was dating Charlie Swan and Leah loather the idea of being any more connected to Bella or the Cullen's then she already was, it was bad enough she was dating so soon after her husband died.
"What about your grandfather?" Jake asked Quil.
"In the hospital recovering from that food poisoning," Quil said.
"For fuck's sake, is there anyone we know who can at least read this shit!" Leah asked.
"If you spoke to me in Quileute I could help, living with dad I did learn a few things on how to verbalize it, just not read it," Jake said.
"Well, I can read Quileute a little bit," Seth said. "I have been taking lessons at school."
"What does it say?" Quil asked excitedly.
"Give me a minute, I can't read it all," he said.
"To hell with this, I am going home," Leah said.
"Come on Leah," Quil said keeping her from leaving. "I mean, don't you want to know what Ephraim Black thought was so important he had to write it in Quileute?"
"Yeah Leah, aren't you a little bit curious?" Embry prodded.
Leah rolled her eyes. "Alright I am, but I am not going to waste my time playing Da Vince Code," she said.
"Why not? It's not like you have anything better to do," Seth said.
Leah glared at her brother, wishing she was an only child.
"Well it's true. Come on Leah...maybe it's some kind of big, dark secret of the Black family," Seth said baiting his sister.
"Hey!" Jake said feeling slighted for his family.
"Well, I could use some new ammo against him," Leah said.
"Great. So let's get cracking," Seth said.
Leah grabbed the book from Seth's hands, she began to flip the pages. "This better be worth-"
She stopped talking; she had reached the last page and found a small paper, folded and brown from age.
"What's this?"
She plucked the page from the book and tossed it to Jake who glared at Leah for treating the book so casually.
She unfolded the paper and examined it. "It's a map," she said.
She showed the map to the others, the paper was a detailed map of an area. On the map was a set of numbers.
"Those are coordinates," Quil said trailing his finger over the paper.
"There's some writing on the back," Leah said.
She showed them the back and sure enough there was more Quileute writing.
"Looks like instructions. Tells us what to look for," Seth said.
"Hot damn! It's treasure!" Quil said jumping up excitedly.
"Cool it Quil, we don't even know if it is treasure," Jake said.
"Dude come on, a map? What else could it be?" Quil asked.
"Maybe it is some treasure he wanted his family to find?" Seth said.
"Dude, it could be worth money, we could open our shop sooner!" Embry said excited at the thought.
"Why would he bury treasure and leave for his family to find after he died?" Leah asked.
"Only one way to find out," Quil said with a smile.
A little while later the group of five found themselves hiking through the woods.
Each carried a shovel; Seth held the map in his hands and was trying his best to translate it. They had been hiking for almost an hour now.
They could have phased into wolves and ran to the location, but they were in no hurry.
"Maybe we should wait until my dad gets back," Jake said.
"Dude come on, it can't be something dangerous. Besides the package was addressed to the Black family, it wasn't specific," Embry said.
"Any luck translating Seth?" Leah asked. She would not admit it but she was actually starting to have fun on this little treasure hunting adventure. Beats sitting around at home doing nothing.
"From what I have gotten what we are looking for will be buried in a meadow," Seth said.
"Does it say where in the meadow?" Quil asked.
"And does it say what it is?" Embry asked.
"Well...that's the thing. This word keeps on popping up a lot. Qahla which means Sun. From what I got it says: "To find Sun, travel to the coordinates I have written, you will find Sun buried beneath the earth. Do not let Sun's appearance fool you...that is all I got."
"Wow Seth you are good," Leah said, giving her brother a rare compliment.
Seth blushed. "Thanks, I haven't been studying as much as I should since I started phasing," Seth said.
"Glad someone was," Jake said feeling angry at himself for not studying more to learn more of his people's language. Next time he saw Billy he was going to arrange to learn more of the Quileute language.
Now that he knew the legends were true he felt a strong drive to do his best to try and learn the language of his people.
"Well, there is something here, I am having trouble translating but I think it is a warning," Seth said.
"Warning?" Quil asked.
"Yeah, it warns something about Qahla, but I can't make it out."
"Must be valuable if there is a warning," Embry said.
"Maybe it has to be handled a certain way?" Quil offered.
They continued to head towards their destination. Each one wondering what they were soon to find and what was so special about it.
When they finally arrived at their destination Jacob felt a jolt of surprise.
"This is the meadow?" he asked.
It wasn't just any meadow. It was Bella and Edward's meadow.
"This is the place," Quil said. "According to the coordinates on the map."
"It does say the meadow is covered in lilac-colored flowers," Seth said.
"But...we can't dig here," Jake said.
"Why not?" Leah asked.
"Because this is Bella and Edward's meadow. If we start digging here they will be pissed," Jake said.
That was an understatement. This place was like sacred ground to them, it was where they go to escape from the world and have private time. It was where their relationship bloomed into love.
If anything happened to it and they found out it had something to do with him...he shuddered to think what they would do.
Leah just smiled and walked into the meadow, before Jake could stop her she began to dig.
"Leah!"
"They will be gone in a few more years, besides, I am sure they can find another meadow. Come on boys, let's find us a treasure!"
Quil and Embry went to join her, eager to find the treasure.
"Don't worry Jake, I am sure we won't make too much of a mess of things," Seth said.

It was an hour later and Jake knew he was a dead man.
The meadow was covered in dirt holes; the once beautiful flowers were now either uprooted or buried in dirt.
"They are going to kill me," Jake almost cried.
"Where the fuck is this treasure!" Leah cursed.
Everyone was covered in dirt. Some holes they dug up to six feet and still couldn't find anything.
"It doesn't say, it just says the sun is buried in a meadow of lilac flowers and it would be in a wooden box," Seth said looking at the map.
"I swear, if he wasn't already dead I would kill Ephraim Black!" Leah growled.
She slammed her shovel into the ground; there was a THUD as the head of the shovel hit something that was not ground or dirt.
Everyone perked up; the guys came running over to Leah's hole.
"Did you hear that!"
"I think she found it!"
"Go Leah, go!"
Leah continued to dig and sure enough there was a wooden box.
"Score!"
Leah bent down and ripped the box from the earth. Jake eagerly snatched it from her hands.
They climbed out of the hole and circled around Jake. He sat the box on the ground.
"I can't believe it, there really is treasure!" Quil said.
"Man we are going to be rich!" Embry said.
"Open it Jake!" Seth said.
Jake undid the latch on the box. He opened it and found...another, smaller wooden box.
"Umm, okay," Jake said.
He pulled the smaller box out and opened it, and found...another, even smaller box.
"What the hell?"
"Seth what is going on?" Quil said.
"You don't think it is just a bunch of boxes do you?" Embry asked.
"If it is I am going to be so pissed," Leah said.
Seth inspected the map. "It says the sun is hidden in a box...in a box...in a box...just keep going."
Jake continued to open the box only to find another box. Finally after five times there was a box that unlike the other ones had the picture of two wolves facing one another carved on it.
"This must be it!"
"Kind of small."
"Maybe it is some amazing jewel."
"Open it Jake."
Jake took a deep breath, praying that what was in the box was worth it. He opened the box and they all gasped in shock.
"Get...the...fuck...out!" Leah said.

Far, far away, there was a man.
He was under a waterfall, cleansing himself of the mud and sweat he gathered on his run. He whistled an old tune he learned in his youth.
The second Jake had opened the last box the man sensed it. He had placed a spell on the box many years ago so if ever opened he would know.
"Damn it all," he cursed.
He gathered his clothes which was a bunch of furs made from animal skins.
"How could they have found him? No one knows now but me."
The man gathered his things and began to travel to La Push.
"As long as blood isn't spilled on it he won't be freed," the man said, speaking to himself.
He had hoped that it would be centuries before anyone could have possibly found the box. Now he was going to have to find a proper place to hide it again.
He shuddered to think what will happen if who ever found the box frees Qahla.

Fusedtwilight: So what is in the box? Who is the mystery man? Who is Qahla? And what will Bella and Edward do when they find out Jake destroyed their meadow? Stay tuned and please review.
