The Brother I Never Knew
Chapter 24
Jamie P.O.V
"Jamie the Cullen's, Cullen's Jamie," Leah said introducing me to the vampire clan.
We where in the living room. The big vampire Emmett and the blonde warrior Jasper where watching T.V, The little one Alice and the blonde beauty where looking through some fashion magazines. Edward and his wife Bella where playing chess, he was obviously winning. And Carisle and Esme where standing in front of me. And let me say one thing about Vampires, they stink. It was like a smell so sweet it made you're nose burn.
"It's nice to meet you," Carisle said extending his hand. I took it and shook it. I instantly noticed how cold he was. I wondered if he was this cold to me because of my increased body temperature?
"Welcome to our home," Esme said giving me a hug.
"Nice to meet you too," I said.
"Leah say's you are interested in learning more about vampires," Carisle said.
"Vampires, Werewolves, anything and everything," I said. He really had my interest now.
"Come with me to my study, I'll tell you every thing you want to know," He said putting his hand on my back.
He began to lead me out of the living room, I turned to look at Leah. She nodded saying it was okay for me to go with Carisle. I happened to glance at the other vampires. I could have sworn I saw Jasper and Edwards eyes on me. But I blinked and there eyes where elsewhere. I had a feeling they had been looking at me. I remembered Sam telling me that Edward was a Telepath, and Jasper was an empathy. I wonder what they thought of me?
Leah P.O.V
I watched as Carisle took Jamie out of the room. As soon as I couldn't here there footsteps anymore I turned to Edward. "So what do you think?" I asked him.
He stopped playing chess with Bella to glare at me. "I think you are a fool to bring him here."
Emily P.O.V
I had Alex and Ashley over for a drink.
Alex and Ashley where sisters, and they where moving back from California. They where half Quileute half Hispanic. Alex and Sam where really close, and a lot alike, they were both strict and lived by the rules. Ashley was a lot like Kim, they were both shy.
I was entertaining both of them until Sam showed up. "Man it feels good to be back," Alex said.
"Don't you miss San Diego?" I asked.
"A little. We lived there for years, but La Push has always been where my heart is, you know?" She said.
"I have never been here before," Ashley said quietly. She was acting shy in front of me but was warming up to my warmness.
"You'll get used to it. After a while you get used to all the rain. And the woods are so refreshing, you never get sick of it," I said.
"So Sam has a half brother huh?" Alex asked leaning forward.
"Yes, Jamie is…a delightful boy," I said.
"That's not what Sam's mom is saying. She really hates that kid," Alex said taking a sip of her tea.
"I don't know why. He didn't chose who his father is."
"Don't hold it against her. She really truly loved Joshua, even though he treated her like crap. She was so in love with his she ignored his flaws even when they where staring her in the face, the drinking, the affaires. I guess after he has been gone for so long she was finally able to come to peace with what he really was. But with this kid back it opened up some old wounds for her. He is living proof of what Joshua really is," Alex said.
"That still doesn't give her the right to treat him bad, Jamie never knew Joshua, and he didn't have the best mom you know," I defended him. I knew there where going to be complications with Jamie now that we knew his secret. But my heart told me he was a good boy at heart. He was just…different.
"I'm just saying," She said raising her hands defensively.
"When can we meet him?" Ashley said. "from what I have heard of him he sounds like a nice guy."
"Is my sister falling in love?" Alex teased her.
"No!" Ashley said glaring at Alex. "I'm just curious is all."
"I'm just playing little sister," Alex laughed. "So where is he?"
"With Leah," I said.
"Leah? I thought she wasn't talking with you?"
"We have a few more bridges to rebuild. But recently we have begun to become more close again," I said.
"Huh, I was kind of hoping she was still not talking to you. Me and her never got along," Alex said finishing off her tea.
It was true. Everyone knew that Leah and Alex had nothing but contempt for each other. The times Alex had come to visit La Push always ended with a fight. They just never saw eye to eye.
"Well we are going to go for a walk," Alex said. "If Sam is going to be awhile I want to show Ashley around.
"Okay, take your cell phone with you. Just in case," I said.
"Yes mom," She teased and gave me a hug. "Be back soon, come on sis."
"See you later Emily," Ashley waved good by.
"See you later," I said.
I watched as they left, and let out a sigh of relief. I had nothing to do so I decided to go and watch some T.V. I walked into the living room and turned on the television, I tried to find something to watch and settled for one of the CSI shows. The plotline was a man's long lost half-brother turned out to be a sociopath and murdered some people. I quickly turned it off. I turned to look at a picture on the table next to the couch. It was a picture of me and Leah when we were kids. We where both smiling happily at the camera. If only we had known what the future had in store for us back then. If I had known that in meeting Sam I would hurt her so bad, would I have not come to La Push? If I had known that it might have saved Harry's life would I have never stepped foot here? You can never be certain of the future, and sometimes it's best not to know. If it is meant to be then it is meant to be as Sam likes to say. So why do I feel so horrible sometimes?
Leah P.O.V
"What did you say!" I snarled at him.
"Edward! Don't be rude," Esme chastised.
"I said you're a fool. A sociopathic Werewolf, and you brought him into our home. How stupid are you woman?" He growled.
There was a flood of calm and we both turned to glare at Jasper. "Just trying to lighten the mood," He shrugged.
"What ever, so is he dangerous?" I asked.
"That's a bit of dumb question," Rose said. "Is a sociopathic Werewolf dangerous? I'll take bet three hundred thousand dollars and say yes."
"Piss off Brittney, I wasn't talking to you," I shot at her.
"What did you call me!" She snarled at me.
"Easy Rose," Alice said gently grabbing her arm.
"To answer you're question. I sense no outer or inner hostility from the boy," Jasper said.
"Inner? What the hell does that mean?" I asked.
"As you know I can sense and manipulate emotions. My ability to sense emotions is deeper then you know. Outer emotions change all the time, but one's inner emotions are more fixed. I guess you can say it is a foundation for a person's character. I can always tell what someone is really like by reading there inner emotions. Because those emotions are what make a person who they are," He said.
"What do you feel from me?" I asked.
"Pain, betrayal, hope."
"Can you change that?" I asked.
"No. Like I said inner emotions are fixed. They can change but something very good or bad must happen to make such a change. Besides when I manipulate emotions I simply adapt the chemical in the brain. That is why my power works on Bella. If I was just trying to mentally tell her to be calm it wouldn't work. Instead I manipulate the chemical in her brain that make her calm," He said.
"You're a lot more creepier then I thought scar face," I said.
"Scar face?" He asked.
"You know because of all the scars you got. Plus you do kind of remind me of him in that movie. Only more quiet and dignified," I said.
Jasper scowled at me, but Emmett burst into a roaring laughter. "Man this chick is funny," He guffed.
"So is he as good on the inside as well as the outside then?" I asked.
"No, he is pretty much the same. I'm not surprised, I have come into contact with his type before. There all pretty much the same. He is ruled by a very cold and detached logic. His actions may prove other wise but make no mistake, he is a purely instinctual creature. Driven only by his need for survival. But still all though he means us no harm I would still be weary of him. I believe if the choice came between us or him he would definitely choose himself," Jasper said.
"What about you? What do you think?" I asked Edward.
"He has no negative thoughts about us. He merely views us as something to study, to learn from. He is all ready deciding which of us to befriend in case he needs something. I have to admit it is kind of refreshing to here his thoughts," He said. He saw the weird looks we where all sending him. "What I mean to say is, most people's thoughts are muddled and messy with emotions. His are so clear and obvious. For most of us life is a path fogged by our feelings and emotions. For him that fog practically doesn't exist. He has a really strong will I must say, and a strong belief in an individual existence. He does not like having to share thoughts with the other wolves because he fears there thoughts might contaminate him somehow."
"Well as long as no one decides to bother him I'm sure he won't bother anyone else," Esme said.
"True, true," Edward said. He moved one of his chess pieces and beat Bella, who let out a sigh of defeat.
"Oh, you guys are so lucky," Alice said. "You're powers work on the wolves, mine don't," She pouted.
"Oh come on, aren't you glad for it? I mean being able to see things before they happen must get boring after a while," I said.
"Yes, but still," She continued to pout.
Jamie P.O.V
"Hard to believe you are over three hundred years old mister Cullen. You seem so normal," I said.
We sat in his office. He had just finished telling me about his existence.
"Thank you, it has been difficult at times but it has come into fruition," He said with a smile. "I thank God every day for my blessings. I never thought I would ever deserve them."
"You still believe in God?" I asked.
"Of course, how can I not?" He said. "Do you?"
"Do I believe in God? An Omnipotent being who dictates how we all live and die? No I believe in no such being. There is no god, or devil. Just us, and the choices we make," I said.
"You have to wonder though, if Vampires and Werewolves exist why can't Angels, and Demons?" He asked.
"How do you know it wasn't vampires who helped inspire the myth of such creatures? Sure given you're appearance to a human back then, and what with most of you having these extraordinary powers it would be easy for a primitive to mistake you as something metaphysical." I looked him in the eyes. I liked the unique amber color of them. "From what I have heard of our species there is nothing mythical about us. It's all about chromosomes and science that makes us who we are. Not some man in a white robe."
"If there is nothing mythic about us, how do you explain our powers then?" He asked.
"Simple, it's science. Did you know there are actually institutes that study psychic phenomena? If it is possible for machines to pick up signals, then sure there are people who can do the same like you're son Edward. After all what is a body? If not a giant organic machine," I said.
"You're a very down to earth guy," He said.
"I think with my head is all. So why do you all smell so sweet?" I asked.
"It is the vampire venom. It emits a fragrance that draws in humans," He said.
"And since we have enhanced sense's your normally pleasant smell becomes to sweet for us," I said.
"Exactly, not that we need it to be good predators," He laughed.
"So tell me more about Werewolves, What's the difference between them and us?" I asked.
"Werewolves are more similar to us then you. In order to create another of their number they must bite someone, and on the next full moon they turn into one."
"What are the symptoms?" I asked.
"Increased strength, speed, aggression. Werewolves also may not be as durable as us but they heal faster then you're kind. They are as strong as us though, and as fast," He said.
"If there as good as you why aren't their more?" I asked.
"First, it is because of their instincts. Werewolves are normally single hunting predators. Like vampires they prefer to travel either alone or in a small pack. Second even in human form their wolf instincts effect them, making it nearly impossible for them to interact with humans. They usually don't stay in a area for too long."
"Can't they make themselves more civil like you're family?" I asked.
"Sadly no. Werewolves are just primal by nature. They are capable of shifting into a hybrid form, or a wolf-man form you see in the media. But their power waxes and wanes depending on the moon. When it is the new moon they are at their weakest, and the full moon is when their power is at it's zenith and that is the only time they can go into a full wolf form."
"So if my pack fought a Werewolf, would we kill him?" I asked.
"It's possible, you're kind is capable of killing vampires. I see no reason why together you couldn't kill a single wolf. But I wouldn't recommend it. Like I said Werewolves are primal creatures. Their hunting and fighting prowess make them dangerous beyond all imagination. And I would especially recommend not fighting them on the full moon," He said seriously.
"Have you ever met one?" I asked.
"No, but when I was with the Volturi I heard things about them. Even the guard has trouble fighting a single one of them. But Caius was hell bent on wiping them from the face of the earth," He said.
"The Volturi? Their those Italian vampires right? Tell me more about them," I said.
We spent some more time talking about Vampires, and shape-shifters. We had just begun to talk about the vampire transformation process when a howl ripped through the air.
Leah P.O.V
I recognized that howl. It was Quil.
"Something has happened. A vampire has been detected in La Push," Edward said.
"What? That's impossible," I said. Sam had all those wolves on patrol and a single vampire slips through? I went running outside to phase but before I could.
"Leah what's wrong?" Jamie asked running down the stairs.
"Apparently a vampire has made it's way into La Push, I'm going to see what is going on," I said.
"I'm going with you," He said.
"No you stay here," I said.
"No I'm going with you," He said.
"No you're going to stay here and stay quiet," I snapped at him.
"I am a Werewolf now Leah, I have every right to go. You're not my Alpha or my beta so you can't tell me what to do," He said coolly.
"Damn it kid!"
"It's Jamie, now do you want to stand here and argue or do you want to go see what we can do to help," He said.
Damn him. I didn't want to take him because he was a new wolf. And I didn't have a mind link with him. And I promised Sam I would look after him.
"If you're worried I can't take care of myself, may I remind you I did trounce you last night," He smirked.
"You didn't trounce me at all you little prick," I seethed.
"Right, it was the timely intervention of the others that saved you," I said.
Timely intervention my ass! Before I could say anything else another howl came from the woods. This one sounded more impatient.
"You can't force me to stay, I'll just follow you any way," He said.
"Fine, but you do what I tell you to. Got it?" I said.
"Yes ma'am," He said.
We both ran into the woods. I hid behind a really tall and wide tree to phase. I neatly folded my cloth's into a pile then attached them to the string and tied it to my leg. I phased right there and felt the pack in my head.
"Took you long enough," Quil grumbled.
"Shove it, what's the problem?" I asked.
"A leech got through into La Push, where trying to find him but he is really good at covering his track's," Jake said.
"How in the hell does a single leech get through us and Sam's pack?" I asked.
"We don't know but we need to find him," Jake said.
"Leah? Why is Jamie with you?" Seth asked seeing I had brought him with.
"Sam asked me to look after him, he said Jamie wasn't feeling comfortable with the other wolves," I said.
"So you brought him to the Cullen's?!" Embry said.
"Leah are you insane? He's a sociopath you cant turn you're back on him," Quil said.
"Yeah," Phillip said. "He is creepy."
"He's creepy? You're the one who kept on spying on me when I was getting a shower!" I growled.
Phillip was young, and he was such a lady's man. But for some reason he had a crush on me. It got to the point where I caught him sneaking up to my room one night after I had a shower. He had climbed the tree hoping to catch a peek. He did but the perv got one hell of a beating when I caught him.
"It was worth the pain," Phillip said fondly.
"I can't believe you brought that psycho," one wolf said.
"Yeah."
"Creepy."
"I can here you all, you know," Jamie said.
Everyone went deadly silent. I turned to look at him and he was sitting, looking at me patiently. "You can here us? Since when?"
"Since I shifted. I was rather surprised myself, so shall we find this vampire?" He asked.
"But what about Sam's pack can't you here them?" I asked.
"Yes I can," He said.
"But only the Alpha's can do that," Seth said.
"Maybe my condition makes me the exception, So shall we?" he said.
He took off running, and after a moment I went with him. This kid is full of surprises.
"Yeah creepy surprises," Seth said.
"I can still here you."
Jamie P.O.V
My head was a war zone.
I hadn't been lying when I told Leah and the others that I could here both pack minds. Can you imagine what it is like to have dozens of minds in you're head? Once Sam had learned of the vampire in La Push he had immediately called all the wolves in his pack and told them to phase, now I had to deal with both packs inside my head.
Many where trying to track the vampire, others where thinking about how I could listen to both packs. They didn't like that. It was no secret now about my state of mind, and the fact I could share thoughts didn't make many people happy.
I was trying to track this vampire too, but all the thoughts of the wolves was giving me a head ach.
"Why the hell can't we find him? Leeches can be smelt a mile away."
"How did he get in? All these wolves and a lone vampire gets in?"
"Man Sam is going to be pissed when he finds out they have been slacking on patrol duty."
"I knew there was something wrong with that kid, now I'm stuck in the same pack as him."
"Jami I think I found something," Leah said.
I watched her stop running and stop to sniff the ground. "It's faint but I'm sure he went this way," She said.
"I'll tell Sam and the others," I said.
I relayed what Leah had told me to Sam. He was chastising some of the wolves for slacking their duty. But he stopped when I told him what Leah told me. "Were not to far away, we'll meet up with you," He said.
"There coming this way," I said.
"Same with Jake and the others," She said.
I noticed the vampire smell was getting stronger as we continued to run. Suddenly a shrill scream tore through the air.
"Shit, quick everyone haul ass!" Leah screamed.
"Sam the vampire is after someone!" I told him.
"Don't let him hurt anyone get hurt!" He shouted.
Another more pain filled scream filled the air. "Might not do any good," I said.
Me and Leah continued to run. The stench of vampire filled the air and soon we found him. He stood over a girl of sixteen. I noticed a bloody unmoving body not to far away. "Alex? Ashley," I heard Sam say.
We didn't stop running me and Leah ran right at the vampire, before he could even turn around we tore into him. I heard him scream in pain as we tore into him. I saw Leah rip off his arm. I bit down into his thigh and ripped it off. I was aware of the voices in my head, but my attention was for the cold meat in front of me. Some small part of me was enjoying this, I loved the sound of this creature screaming it's last screams.. I enjoyed feeling it get ripped apart by my fangs.
"Jamie calm down!" Someone screamed.
No I won't calm down, this is my Forrest, and the dead thing in front of me is my meat. I jumped onto the creature, it thrashed and snarled but I mauled it. I tore and ripped until the snarls stopped and there was nothing more to tear. A sob escaped from a mouth, I growled and looked up to see what had made that sound.
There was a female in front of me. She smelled of fear. I stared into her eyes, her big beautiful eyes, and felt gravity shift.
