Chapter 32

Fusedtwilight: Thanks too my beta purple ranger and everyone who reviewed. This chap we finally see the nexus.

Jake P.O.V

We followed Akakios for what seemed like hours, I had no idea where we were, for all I know we could be in America or in Canada.

Our thoughts were still filled with what the brothers had shown us. What they told us, like about this Cult of Utlapa. It sure does give the term the past coming back to bite you a whole new meaning.

I felt Nessie in the back of my mind, felt her peace and comfort like a warm blanket. This thing about blood imprinting was going to cause quit the stir when I get back home. I mean normally when Nessie is not with me I feel empty and I miss her so much, but with this new bond I did not miss her at all, because I could feel her in my mind I knew exactly how she felt and every thing. It was great.

“You think I could maybe slip a few blood drops into Claire's chocolate milk?” Quil asked.

“Dude sick!” Embry said.

“What? I haven't seen her since....that vampire made her say I touched her.”

I felt a pang of sympathy for Quil, we all did. We were trying to figure out how to get her parents to believe Quil did not touch her and get her back to La Push. But the only way was to tell them the truth and somehow I don't think they would like the idea of their little girl being imprinted by Quil any more than the thought he might have touched them.

For all we know they might freak and go telling the police.

“How much longer are we going to be?” Leah asked.

“I think we are getting close,” I said.

“How do you know?”

“I don't know something in my head. Those memories the spirits of my ancestors left in me. They are telling me we are close.”

“How close are we?” Embry asked.

“I don't know, it all happened a long time ago, the land has changed.”

Akakios stopped all of sudden, so sudden that Embry crashed right into him sending them both falling to the ground with a mighty crash.

“Watch where you're going you fucking idiot!” Akakios roared at Embry.

Embry bared his teeth at him. “Well don't suddenly stop when you are running you little prick!”

Akakios dusted himself off. “Stupid fucking shifters can't watch where the fuck they are going. Why is it always me that gets roped in this shit? Just once I would like to see Aristide get off his ass and do something. Thinks just because I am the middle brother and Ekion is to handicapped he can tell me what to do.”

He glared at us. “Well as I was about to say before fat ass slammed into me we are getting close, can't you feel it?”

Now that he mentioned it I could slightly feel.....something. It was like something had snagged onto my head and was gently pulling me forward.

Akakios sniffed the air. “Oh yeah, magic is thick in the air. Come on don't just stand there lets go!”

He took off and we followed him.

“Who is he calling fat?” Embry grumbled.

“Guys can you feel something pulling you?” I asked.

“Yeah, the closer we get the harder it pulls at me,” Leah said.

As we drew close to the nexus I felt the tug grow stronger, the scents of animals grew thicker. I could feel the energy of this place, it made my hair stick up like when you are close to static.

“What is going on?” Quil asked. “I feel like there is some unseen power in the air. It's like what came from James’s island only warmer and more....lively.”

“We must be close,” Embry said.

We passed many animals as we followed Akakios, they scattered as we approached, I saw Akakios glance at them and grin and I could imagine his mouth was watering right now.

The air was thick with the smell of wildlife and flowers. The trees grew larger and thicker as we ran; I was amazed at the tallness and the thickness of them. It seemed like the closer we got to the nexus the greater life there was.

Once again Akakios stopped. He bent down and glanced at the ground. “Fuck I was afraid of this.”

I walked up to him. He was looking at a giant wolf print on the ground. “Is it the Makah's? Are they here?” Embry asked.

I sniffed at the paw print, it smelled like me. I placed my paw over it and it was a perfect fit. “It's mine.”

“But that is impossible,” Quil said

Akakios got up. “Can any of you retrace your steps?”

None of us could. It was odd, as we tried to recall our path and the way we came our memory fuzzed, like every time we tried to remember going certain ways our memories didn't want to remember.

“It's a perception filter, very strong but very subtitle. It is a defense, keeps sensitives like us from finding the place. Once we reached a certain point the spell blocked the paths that lead to the nexus from our head, made us not want to notice them. Smart move, all this power would attract all kinds of supernatural beings. So they placed a perception filter to keep them from the heart of it.”

He drew a circle into the dirt with his finger. It had some Greek symbols on the outside and on the inside was that symbol they have on the side of ambulances.

“Lord Hermes’s, god of travelers, shield us from this magic and help guide us to our destination,” Akakios murmured.

An invisible wind seemed to gently blow from the circle. “Alright let’s go. The spell will counter act the perception filter. That spell is old, but they don't last forever, someone had to refresh it.”

We continued to run; this time as we ran I noticed things I had not noticed before, the woods seemed so much larger and open now. It was like the spell had prevented me from truly seeing how big the world was.

We came into a clearing that was covered in flowers. The flowers were different colors of red's whites and blues. The power was strongest here, I could feel it. We all could, something in the back of our heads told us there was something about this place, something special, sacred.

“We’re here.” Akakios said. He looked at us annoyed. “Well what are you waiting for? Phase.”

We phased, turning our backs to him. We turned and he was looking at Leah with a lusty look. “Keep looking at her like that and I will tear you to pieces!” Embry growled.

“Oh what ever, I am Greek remember? You Americans and your view on nudity are so stupid. In my day a man would be honored to have someone eye hump his wife.”

He reached into his shirt and pulled out that necklace he wore. He brought it up to his face closed one eye and brought his open eye in line where the top of the cross broke into a circle, looking through it. He looked around his gaze narrowed on the center of the field.

He pointed. “There. The nexus is right there.”

“It's the flowers?” Quil asked.

“No retard. Look.”

He handed Quil the charm and Quil looked through it, his eyes widened and he almost dropped the charm. “Holy shit!”

“What is it?” Embry asked. Quil handed him the charm. Embry looked through it. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. His eye blinked rapidly like he could not believe he was seeing what ever it was he saw.

“What?” I asked.

He handed me the charm and I looked. It was odd. When I looked through the hole of the charm...it was like having real bad eyes sight and putting a contact lens over the one eye, it saw so much better while the other was still dull. The world seemed to glow with an unseen light that came from everywhere. Everything seemed sharper, more detailed, like I was seeing dimensions I did not see before.

But it was what was at the center of the field, It was like one of those old stone wells, or that one well from the movie the ring (which was not a bad analogy seeing as what was in it) only it was a lot rounder, more thick. The stone was light and it was covered in black symbols and shapes.

Light shined from that well, like a sun.

I pulled the charm away from my face and looked at it. “What is this thing?”

“It is an ankh,” Leah said. “It is the Egyptian symbol of the soul and it was made from the eyes of a hundred seers.”
“How the hell did you know that?” Akakios asked.

“You're brother told me,” she said.

“Fucking blabber mouth.” he grumbled.

“So it allows you to see in the spirit world?”

“Kind of, normally I can see souls and spirits, the kind of things you lot can't. But the only way I can fully see the spirit world without the charm is if I spirit walk and the charm helps me avoid that. Don't want some spirit to wonder and take my body you know.”

He took the charm from me and walked closer to the nexus, or where it was in the spirit world and examined it. “By the river Styx I have not felt this much power in ages. And the nexus is truly a work of art but the power inside is so great even sealed up we can feel it all the way into the physical world.”

“What were those symbols on it?” I asked.

He waved me close and I stepped forward. He handed me the charm and I examined the nexus again. The top of the well had carvings in it. Like one of those designs you saw from South America. The center showed a large number of men with their hands all holding a giant sphere of power, than out side of that were four circles making four layers. More symbols were on the top than on the side of the well, there were only a few on the side but there were dozens on the top. I recognized a few, Makah, Quileute, Hoh, and Quinault. Others I did not recognize.

“I recognize them; they are the symbols of the tribes. All of them....the ones that still exist and the ones that were wiped out.”

“What are the symbols on the side? How come there aren't as many on the side as on the top?”

“Because those represent the seals placed on here to keep it shut. Every time a seal is broken a mark fades.”

I checked how many marks were left, only sixty-six.

He moved his hand forward. In the real world his hand passed through air, in the spirit world his hand passed through the nexus. “When you try and touch it your fingers feel like something bends them back.”

I did as he did, he was right; my fingers against their accord slightly bent back, my finger tips felt cold like even through the spirit world I could feel the stone that made the nexus.
It truly was beautiful, what with the light, the decorations and the ornate carvings on the top. The ancients truly put some love into making this thing.

Suddenly a...I guess you would call it a pulse came from the nexus. Through the ankh I saw the Stone turn pitch black and the markings turned a deathly white. Something sharp touched my fingers and I pulled them back. I could sense something press against the nexus, something angry...oh...very, very angry indeed. The flowers around the nexus wilted and dried up. We backed away from it.

“What is going on?” Leah asked.

The air had chilled and it seemed to get very quiet. The wind thickened as if something was pressing against it. I could feel the malevolence coming from the nexus; I could faintly hear something groaning, like someone was lifting something heavy.

Then the Nexus turned back to its original color, the air returned to normal and the silence dissipated and the flowers by the nexus returned to their old color and vitality.

“Wh-What the fuck?” Leah asked.

I looked at her, she and the other guys were pale and shaky, and sweat glistened of their heads. Even Akakios looked shaken.

“It was him, it was Utlapa.”

“What?”

“He must have sensed us and tried to break the top open. The seals are almost gone now, only sixty-six left. I imagine only seven more to go and that things will pop open and all the magic plus Utlapa will come out.”

“Wait he can't be too much of a threat right?” Embry said, “I mean he has no body.”

“Remember what the spirit warriors could do?” Quil said.

“Plus this guy has been immersed in the magics of our ancestors, who knows what he can do.”

“It is true, his power with out a body will be formidable but it will have limits. If he is to truly use his magic he needs a body of flesh and blood.”

“Well he couldn't posses Taha Aki's body until he left it.”

“Yeah but that was then and he has more power now, remember Tessa could posses you even when you were still in you're body. The stronger a spirit the more likely they are to posses someone,” Akakios said.

“So what do we do? Can we make more seals?” I asked.

“We could, my brothers and me...but it would take to long to make them. Plus it took dozens of people to make them also. But that is not what I am most concerned about.”

“What is it?”

“This place, it is a place of power, it is sacred. We can feel the magic of it because of our nature, even a null would instinctively be drawn to this place. You see it all the time in the human world, they sense these places of power are important and they build a church or a temple or a synagogue or a shopping mall or some place important. So why is it some dumb idiot hasn't shown up and sensed how special this place is and built something to honor it?”

“Are we still in Canada?”

“Yes, were on a large piece of private property that is used for a nature reserve.”

“Wait I thought you said it was a spell that kept us from finding this place sooner?” Embry said.

“It was a perception filter, real strong, real useful, and real tricky. They made it so no one would realize they were missing a whole area form their vision. That's the problem with perception filters too strong and people will realize a whole area is missing. To weak and sensitives could get past it, but this was well done enough so even we noticed nothing was wrong, had I not noticed that paw print we would still be chasing our asses. But the real question is who keeps it going?”

“Huh? Speak normal for us none magic folk,” Leah said sounding annoyed.

Akakios said. “Alright I'll speak so you dip shits get it. Some one has been keeping this spell active and fresh all these years. Someone has made sure the spell never dissipated.”

“Really? Who?”

“Once a long time ago this land was home to a tribe. But they were like so many before them lost to time...or so I thought.”

He got up and turned to the woods. “I know you are there, show yourselves!”

“Who are you talking to?” I asked.

“The guardians of the nexus.”

I searched the woods, trying to see, hear or even smell anyone. But I could not. “Are you sure someone is there?”

“Oh yeah, something this strong you never leave unguarded. Come out now!” he called.

“Please, we mean you no harm! I am Jacob Black; I am from the La Push Indian reservation in Washington.”

“I know who you are,” a voice called.

A girl walked from the woods. It was odd; it was like she just popped out of thin air. She was about five foot nine, her eyes were black and her hair was long enough to come to her shoulders, there were streaks of blue in her hair, obviously dyed. She wore a black pair of jeans, a white button up shirt and over the shirt a black corset. Her skin was slightly brown. I could see some native traits in her but the skin made me think she might have some African American in her as well.

“Welcome Jacob Black. I have dreamed of you.”

She walked up to us, I began to think more and more she had some black in her. Her lips were big and puffy; her nose was a little wider than what you saw on a pale face.

“Good dreams I hope,” I said.

“Depends on what you define by good.”

Akakios stepped forward. The girl looked at him wearily she didn't not seem disturbed by his eyes so I was assuming she knew what he was as well. “I assume you are the one who has been handling the perception filter?”

She nodded. “My family owns this land. It was the land of our ancestors.”

“So the tribe isn't dead?” Akakios asked.

“Not really, only my family is left, we have stayed hidden all these years. We protect the nexus and have since it was made.”

“What is you're name?” I asked.

“Liz, short for Elizabeth. We have been expecting you.”

“We?”

“My family and I some of them are shifters, the only reason they are not here is because I told them not to. We know what is going on Jacob; we know someone is breaking seals. We know it is his people. The same people that tried to eradicate us.”

“You mean the Cult of Utlap-”

She put her hand over my mouth. “Do not say his name! Not here. Names have power, you give something a name you give it power and substance.”

She brought her hand down. “According to the legends of my family many years ago before the white people came, when my tribe was many and times were good a woman and her son came on our land. They came from a far away tribe running from their past. They spoke a language we knew not but we took them in and gave them home and shelter. The woman and her son were powerful in the ways of magic, the mother could see the future and showed it in her weaving's.”

“Pitichu and Kon!” Embry said putting two and two together.

“Yes, their names were Pitichu and Kon. They lived the rest of their lives with us. Pitichu taught us many things, she became our tribe’s shaman and Kon married the chief’s eldest daughter and had children with her. The years passed and they learned how to speak our language and they fully assimilated into our tribe. We never knew of their past, they never spoke of it, we assumed they were survivors of a war. The day came when Pitichu was old, her face lined with wrinkles, her hair white as snow when the dreams started.

“Our chief and Pitichu dreamed someone calling them to the spirit world. Together they traveled to the other side, we do not know exactly what happened, but for seven days and seven nights they fasted, we began to fear they would not return....then it happened. All those with strong spiritual powers cried in agony, Kon, her son was one of them. It felt like someone was draining them of all their power. Many of the items we had which possessed magic became like any other ordinary object. Many people lost their magical powers.

“On the eighth day Pitichu and our chief woke up. Pitichu cried in utter despair and not even her son could calm her. The chief told us that in the spirit world there had been a meeting of all the chiefs and Shamans and wise men and wise women of the land, from the blistering colds of the North to the scorching heat of the south they all met in the spirit world. A chief called Taha Aki warned of a group of people who used magic and fueled by a dead man's ambition sought to unite all the tribes under leadership and make a mighty empire.

“But he said that it would only lead to disaster if such a thing were to happen. He said that the idea of making a united tribe was an idea that the adversary's spread like a plague and it was only a matter of time before the idea came to all the tribes and people tried to do it. The chiefs and shamans and wise men and women saw the truth in his words, Pitichu herself revealed she was from Taha Aki’s tribe, she revealed it was her own children and followers of her dead mate....well you know who....who made this dangerous tribe.

“Taha Aki said the only way to preserve our tribes was to seal our greatest magic away least it be used for evil. The chiefs could all do it; they had that right as the leaders of their people. They saw the radiance and honesty of Taha Aki and knew he spoke truth. So all the shamans and wise men and women got together and using their wisdom and will created a well that could hold the magic of all the tribes. Than the chiefs called on the power of their people, the power of their tribes, the power of their ancestors, and the power of the land itself and began to seal it all away. They did this with heavy hearts, knowing the loss of magic would be a very heavy loss, but they also knew that their would be remnants of this magic, as they sealed the magic away a spirit arrived, he was a pitiful thing to behold, a shadow of his former glory, a sad wretch caught between the boundary of sanity and madness.

“Pitichu knew who he was and tried to call to him, to make him stop, he ignored her and cried in delight when he saw what the chiefs were doing, and they could not fight back for the ritual was still in affect. The man tossed himself into the well and began to absorb the magic, despair filled the hearts of all present, they knew if he absorbed all the magic of all the tribes he would become more than a spirit, and he would become unstoppable.

“Acting quickly the shamans and wise men and women created hundreds of seals that would be strong enough to bind the man in the nexus and when the last ounce of magic had dripped into the well they shut it tight and bound it closed with the seals they had made while the man basked in the well. Pitichu begged them to open it, for the man was trapped alone in the nexus with all the power of the land but could not use it, nor could he ever travel the spirit world or move to the world of the dead.

“They did not, for they knew if he was released his wrath would scorch the land. They knew that the nexus needed to be protected from his followers or anyone else that might try to claim it. So our chief swore his tribe would protect it from any and all. That was when he and Pitichu returned to the living world, where he told his people the story. Pitichu died not to long after, her heart broken, her spirit crushed, knowing the fate of the man she loved took its toll on her and she died.

“Kon became the chief when the old one died and kept the promise his predecessor made. For generations my tribe defended the nexus from all who sought it. For untold centuries we were at war with his followers. We successfully defended it from them but over time we grew weary from the war, so it was no surprised we were not able to defend ourselves when the white men came. My family is all that remains of that lost tribe; our blood is the blood of the chiefs we have stayed in hiding, continuing to protect the nexus, waiting for the day when our enemies would return and the war to continue. We knew the time had come a month ago when the seals began to fade from the nexus, we know our ancient adversary's have begun to move and know how to free him and open the nexus and when that happens the world will burn.”

“What can we do?” I asked.

“It is already to late Jacob Black. All I can tell you are to bring you're allies here, the cult has found the nexus, they will come here when the final seal breaks, and they will wait to greet their master. The battle will take place in this field.”

“But you're perception filter thing should keep them away,” Quil said.

Liz shook her head. “Someone has told them how to reach the nexus. How this is possible we do not know no one in our family would betray this no matter what.”

“That is not the only mystery. Someone knew about the seals, someone knew what they were and where they were and told the Makah's,” Akakios said. “It can't be the cult, if they knew what the seals were before they would have destroyed them long ago; someone has been giving them information.”

“But who? Who could know about the nexus and the seals?”

“How the hell should I know?” he growled.

“Fat lot of good you are!” Quil growled.

“Fuck you! I helped you find the fucking thing you ingrate!” Akakios growled.

“Enough!” I yelled.

The field became silent. Quil instantly shut up and I cursed myself. I forgot of my ability to control wolves, of course Quil wouldn't talk until I told him he could.

“Just stop arguing guys please,” I said. I turned to Liz. “There has to be a way.”

“I am sorry Jake, we wish we could help but we are not what we once were. This day was bound to happen sooner or later. The events of the past are coming back to haunt the present. All the sensitives and seer's of the world know what is coming because the world is screaming for protection. We must answer the call, there will be war, and there will be losses. Go home and prepare, I will see you again Jacob Black, in three days.”

She turned and walked back to the woods. “Wait! Do you mean it will open in three days?”

She said nothing, she just continued to walk into the woods and once again she seemed to disappear from sight.

“Well this blows,” Leah said.

“We need to get back and get everyone ready,” Embry said.

“I agree. First we need to go back and get Nessie,” I said.

We left the field and ran back to the brother’s home. I knew she was up, I could feel her awake and alert in my head. As we walked into the cavern that housed the brothers she was already there to greet me. “Jake!” she yelled.

She threw herself at me and hugged me tight. “Hey Ness,” I said.

“I was so scared Jacob, the bad men wanted to use me to get to you. They hurt Uncle Emmett badly and that bird man was really mean to me.”

I sensed her aggravation and fear. But as I hugged her I sensed it melt away. “Don't worry Ness everything will be okay,” I said.

I turned to the Cullen's. “We need to go back now.”

“What's wrong?” Carlisle asked.

“We'll explain later, but we need to go.”

We said goodbye to the brothers. Aristide and Ekion hugged us all; Akakios gave Nessie a pat on the head when she thanked him for helping her. “You're a brave little brat, I got to give you that much.”

“Goodbye wolves, goodbye Cullen's we were happy to meet you, we hope next time it will be under better circumstances,” Aristide said.

“Will we meet again?” I asked.

“Of course we will....when the nexus opens.”
“So it will open?” I asked.

“Yes, but fear not there is always hope, even in the blackest of nights.”

“Thank you for all you're help,” Carlisle said.

“You are welcome, but before you go be warned, there is a reason for all this madness, there is a greater force at work, moving you all like pieces on a chess board. Keep you're eyes open and stay alert.”

“We will.”

We left and headed for Washington. So many things to do and such little time to do it.

Sam P.O.V

“And in other news tonight vandalism of Native American artifacts continues a wave of seemingly random acts of destruction of precious and irreplaceable treasures from many tribes past has been destroyed. F.B.I and local law enforcements have been working together but so far have come up with no suspects or any reason why these vicious attacks on Native American culture is happening. Random acts of violence? Or possibly racism?”

The news lady continued on. I turned off the T.V, already knowing who was destroying the Native American pieces. “Sam!” Emily called from up stairs.

I ran up and went into our room. Emily was holding Sarah's baby bottle in her hand but Sarah was in wolf form and on our bed chewing our pillows. “I just came in to feed her and I found her like this,” she said with a sigh.

“Sarah, no, bad girl,” I said. Never thought I would speak to my kid like she was a dog.....never thought she would be a dog either, or a wolf.

Sarah dropped the pillow and yipped at me happily. Her tail wagged and her tongue rolled to the side. She jumped in my arms and licked at my face. “Easy girl.”

She settled down and closed her eyes. She phased back to human, I was happy. I hadn't done any of the techniques Chris or the other Makah's had taught me. This was good; it meant she was slowly learning control all on her own. Emily got her a change of clothes’ we kept. I laid a still sleeping Sarah on the bed but before Emily could change her there was a knock downstairs.

“Oh darn, I almost forgot about the girls,” she said.
“Who?”

“Oh some of the girls I invited over for today. Just a little get together for us gals. Can you change her?”

“Yeah.”

I took Sarah's cloths and changed her, she never woke once. I heard the girls moving around downstairs. I stayed with Sarah though, just watching her sleep. Her hair had grown out, a little fuzzy patch on her head. I kissed the top of her head. My sweet baby girl, she was a miracle, the circumstances of her birth were amazing, pure chance and luck and here she was.

But was it a good thing? We faced doom, but it seemed like doom hovered over us all the time. But this one was more than just us; it was the whole world the faced destruction. I always expected it to be vampires, not my own kind that I would have to fight, but then again I was finding many things I expected to be were not.

Would it ever stop? First the newborns, than the Volturi, then Max, now the Makah's and this alliance of other tribes. Would it ever end? When I die will I pass the madness on to my daughter? Or could I break the circle and bring her the peace she deserved. I don't know, but as a father I would fight like hell to make it a reality.

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

Emily P.O.V

I welcomed the girls into the house. Kim, Rachel, Sue and Lydia came over once every week and we talked about our boys, what was going on in the community, the local scandal and gossip, we baked food, we shared stories. You know girl stuff.

Lydia was teaching us how to make weaving's. She was really good at it.

We all sat in the table. Tea and lemonade was offered and we had our needles out and our string attached and was trying our best to make a weaving, Sue had done stuff like this before so she was better than the rest of us but Lydia had it down in spades.

“So did you all here that Tony imprinted on another boy?” Lydia asked.

We all looked at her amazed.

“What?”

“A boy?”

“Is that even possible?”

“Apparently so let me tell you all a little secret. Same sex imprints have been recorded in our tribe,” Lydia said. “But they happen so rarely and the wolf mysteriously vanished soon after.”

“You mean the wolf was killed?” Kim asked horrified.

“I believe so yes. The elders drilled the idea that good little wolves protect the tribe, obey the elders and procreate. If the others learned a wolf imprinted on another man it would undermine everything they were trying to teach them. Horrible isn't it, I am so glad I got away from that,” Lydia said.

“Yeah you were one of the elders right? How did you get that job? I mean no offense you seem more....nice than the others were,” Kim said.

“Oh my father was on the council, when he died it passed on to me, I was his only child. Actually I am lucky to still be alive. See many years ago I was in a horrible car accident and I was in a coma for a few years.”

“Oh my,” Sue said.

“Oh yes, I don't know what was worse, waking up and finding two years of my life lost or having to go through the physical therapy. Speaking of therapy how is it going for your finger Kim?” Lydia asked.

Kim looked at her finger, the one she had cut off when she was possessed. “Good, I can't use it like I once could and I don't have much feeling in it. Thank god I didn't cut off my ring finger off, Jared has been talking a lot about marriage lately, and I think he might be getting ready to pop the question soon.” she blushed.

“Oh that is wonderful,” Rachel said.

“Oh I remember when Harry proposed to me, he did it when we were at a party. It was right over the cliff's, all of our friends were there, he called everyone's attention, got down on one knee and proposed, he was such a romantic,” Sue got a faraway look on her face, remembering the past.

“How is Seth taking Tony's imprint?” I asked. I hope Seth wasn't going to go through what Leah went through when Sam imprinted on me.

“Very well, he is a little sad it ended but he is very happy for them.”

“You have a fine boy Sue,” Lydia said.
“What about you Lydia? Was there ever a special someone?” I asked.

She smiled. “Once, it was a long time ago. It ended terribly, I still miss him though, and I hope one day to see him again.”

“Nice woman like you he must have been mad to lose you,” Sue said.

We continued to talk and gossip, then a bunch of howls filled the air. “They are back,” Lydia said.

“How do you know?” I asked. I was never able to tell the wolves howls apart.

“Years of practice dear.”

Sam came downstairs. “They’re back!” he said excitedly.

“Quick go meet them!” I said.

He kissed me on the lips and ran outside.

“I hope they have good news,” Rachel said. “All this chaos lately, I wish things would calm down.”

“Don't worry dear, they will. We have fine men protecting us, they will find a way,” Lydia said.

Sue glanced at what Lydia was weaving. “Wow, you are amazing Lydia, I have never seen someone with your skill.”

“Oh Sue you flatter an old woman,” Lydia said with a smile.

“What are you drawing?” I asked.

She showed me her unfinished weave, I took a second to figure out what it was, but when I saw the shape and the color I figured out what it was. “It's a bear; I have a thing for them.”

Ekion P.O.V

I watched as I always do.
I watched as the Cullens and the Quileute’s split, the Cullens to take Nessie home to her worried mother, to tell the story to the others. The Quileute's going home, howling to the air, announcing their return. Soon to tell the story to their brothers as we told them.

In Makah Tristan is angry, the plan to abduct Nessie failed. His plan is so close to being fulfilled now. Soon retribution will be his and a new age will dawn. All for his son, he does it all in his dead son's name. It is the fuel that drives him; the need a parent feels when they have lost a child. Vengeance.

Meanwhile the members of Utlapa's cult meet and talk; they plan when to make their move. Tristan does not know the betrayal he will soon face. He does not know he is but a pawn in a much larger scheme.

Tony and Erik sit in Tony's room. Talking, comforting one another in each others pain. Not knowing the danger they both are in, not knowing there is a traitor in their midst. Though traitor might be the wrong word, to be a traitor you must turn you're back on what you believed in.

So many people, so many roles. All unaware of the true agenda, all unaware how well and easily they have been manipulated. The crux is coming and soon and when it happens the fate of the world will hang in the balance.

I sit in our cave, my brothers are arguing, they argue who was the best hero, Hercules or Peruses. Akakios thinks Hercules because he was the strongest and mightiest. Aristide thinks Peruses because he was the only hero who had a happy ending.

I do not join in, I let them debate. They have argued about this since we were human and it will not end anytime soon. As I listen to them argue my thoughts turn to Leah. Sweet, strong Leah. She has endured such hardships since she became a wolf. I understand her situation well. I think of the losses she has suffered....and the greater losses yet to come.

My name is Ekion, youngest of the brothers three. My power is the power is the power of foresight. I see the then, the now, the might be, the could be and the never was and the never bee. I stand outside of creation author, reader and character. Both trapped and imprisoned by my power.

I see the course of every action; I see the path's we can take, the path's we will take, and the path's we must never take. I weep in sorrow and joy, for I see the path's that could have lead us into salvation and the path's that could have led to ruin.

I see the choices that could have been made a long time, I see how things could have been if the right choices could have been made. I see the happiness that could have come.

In a world full of misery and hate when you see the good that could have been is it a wonder why I am the way I am?

I know when this is all over; when peace has fallen Leah will have lost someone she loves dearly a loss that will shake her to her core. A loss I know all so well.

Fusedtwilight: The end is coming soon, will they stop the nexus from opening? And which of Leah's loved ones will die? Please review.
