Skin Deep
Chapter 5
Fusedtwilight: Chapter five already? Seems like yesterday I started this fic. Well this chap the volturi show up and we find out who embry’s daddy is.
Tanya POV
"Kate don’t you think you are going a little overboard with this?" I asked my sister.
After Sara left she and Garrett left to go find the nearest shopping mall. A few hours later they returned carrying bags of gifts they had gotten for her as an early wedding present. Expansive clothes, diamonds, pearl necklaces, and a few….questionable items for the bedroom were all what they got.
Kate and Garrett was in the process of wrapping the gifts while me, Carmen, and Eleazar watched and examined the gifts. If Carmen could still blush she would be beet red at the more adult items they got. She was now examining a pair of lacy black panties with stockings and a matching black lacy bra.
"Of course not, don’t you get it?" Kate said. "Now that Sara will be getting married that means she won’t be living with us, she’ll have a man to support her. She’ll be moving out soon and going out into the world, I just want to prepare her and show her we will miss her."
"She may not be getting married Kate, don’t forget Embry is one of those wolves," I said, "No way they are going to support this."
"And they have that imprinting thing, what if he imprints?" Eleazar asked.
"Oh you people and your what if’s, Sara knows the risks, she’s stronger then we think. After living with that horrible woman for all these years she’s have to be. She has made her choice and we need to support her. And if the relationship hits the rocks we will be there to catch her," Kate said.
"Wow, that’s really mature of you Kate, I am impressed," I grinned.
"I have my moments." she smiled.
"Kate, why in the world did you buy her handcuffs?" Carmen asked holding a pair of cuffs up.
"Oops," Garrett said snatching them from her. "Those are for us."
We all laughed knowing how adventurous Garrett could really be. The door bell rang and we all looked at each other in surprise. We hardly ever got visitors up here, who could it be?
"I’ll get it." Carmen said going to answer the door.
"You think they will live with us?" Kate asked.
"Maybe, Sara still needs some work on her power. I imagine she will want to finish her training before they wed." Eleazar said.
"I have to hand it to that girl, she must really love him if she can stand that smell," Garrett said.
We all gagged remembering the smell of the wolves. Suddenly Carmen’s voice called. "ELEAZAR!"
In a flash we ran to the door to see what was wrong. Carmen held the door open and I saw what made her cry out. There in the door was Natalya, a vampire who once worked with Vincent. Instantly we were in fight mode. I remembered she had a sister called Illyria who had a personal vendetta against Sara. Were they here for Sara? Where was Illyria?
"Peace," Natalya said, her Russian accent thick. "I am not here to fight, I am here to warn you of my sister Illyria."
"Where is your sister?" I asked. "Last time I saw you, you were holding her back and dragging her away kicking and screaming, I also remember you promised not to return under penalty of death."
"May I come in? I swear I mean you no harm." she said.
I looked to Eleazar, then to Kate and Garrett. They all nodded in agreement. "You may."
She came in, before she did she wiped her feet on the door mat to get rid of the snow on her feet and rubbed the ice from her clothes. A polite nomad? Been a long time since I saw that.
She entered slowly and timidly, showing no signs of aggression. Carmen closed the door and went to stand with us. "I know you have no reason to trust me, after Vincent. I did not want to help him, but my sister Illyria was enthralled with him. I came to make sure she would not be hurt."
"Where is Illyria?" I asked.
"After last month Illyria was enraged, she wanted to kill your Sara for making us kill Vincent, I had no grudge against her. She defended herself and I did not want her to use her power on me." she shuddered remembering when Sara made her and her sister desire to kill Vincent.
Sara had been horrified she had used her power in such a way, disgusted with herself for forcing her will on two other vampires. It disturbed her that she tapped into such a dark side of herself. Poor Sara, she had been raised by such an abusive mother and turned into such an angel, only to find there was a demon in her as well.
"I did my best to keep her away from Alaska as possible. I told her she would be dead long before she ever got to Sara, that she didn’t have the power to take on a whole coven. For a few weeks she seemed to let go of her anger, then we encountered a vampire on the run from the Volturi. He had exposed himself to a human and the Volturi were chasing after him. Naturally we stayed away from him not wanting to risk the wrath of the Patrons of the nightly arts. But the guard found us, they demanded we tell them where last we saw the vampire. Illyria said she would show them where we last saw him. I wanted to go with her but she said to stay behind and she would return to me…that was one week ago."
"So why have you come here? If you think we will help you are sadly mistaken." I said coldly.
She shook her hands. "No, no. I think…my sister has gone to the Volturi to enlist them to help her exact her revenge on you."
A stunned silence filled the room. We stared at Natalya in shock and horror. "What makes you think that? We broke no rules, why would the Volturi come after us on the whim of a nomad?"
Natalya looked at me. It was a sharp look filled with knowledge. It told me Natalya was smarter then she looked. She was more then just a pretty face. "I know of the confrontation you had with them last year. News spread of a coven of golden eyed vampires who face the whole Volturi coven and lived, how they faced down the guard and didn’t even shed a single pound of flesh, how they amassed an army of vampires and shifter to protect a hybrid. I know you are kin to that coven. I know the Volturi have not forgotten nor forgiven the humiliation you dealt them. They will seek any reason to harass you. Plus when Aro finds out of your sisters power he will especially be interested in her."
"Hold on a second," Garrett said. "How do you know she isn’t dead? Maybe the Volturi killed her."
"I to considered that fact. Then I remembered how Illyria gave up thoughts of revenge when I told her she could not take on a coven alone.. I remembered how eager she had been to work with the Volturi in capturing the vampire who exposed himself. I thought she just wanted to impress them, to gain their favor. I think I may have been right, but not for the reasons I had originally assumed."
"My god" Eleazar said. "If what you say is true and she really has gone to Aro…we have a bigger problem then you think."
"For real, if Aro gets a hold of her who knows what he could do with her power!" Kate said.
"No you don’t understand!" Eleazar said. "Sara might be related to Aro, he would stop at nothing to claim her power or not!"
"What?" I asked confused.
"When Carlisle first met her he thought there was something familiar about her. He looked through his books and made a shocking discovery. He thinks that Sara might be descended from Didyme, Aro’s sister."
"Aro had a sister?" Natalya asked.
"Long ago. Before he turned her she had a child. After she became a vampire they looked after her child, and the Child’s child, and so on and so forth. Then during the great fire of Rome Didyme died. She went back to find her human descendants but it was believed they had died in the fire. Carlisle and I did extensive research and found that Sara’s great-grandparents came from Italy. We searched more and found her ancestry goes all the way to Greece."
"So…what Didyme’s descendants made it out of the fire and Aro never knew they were alive?" Carmen asked.
"Must be, and a few thousand years later Sara is the result. I admit there is a striking resemblance between her and the pictures of Didyme. But if Illyria has gone to Aro then he will know what she looks like, what she can do."
"But it has been over a week, why haven’t they made their move?"
"They have no reason to attack us, we broke no rules, and after what happened last year they want to be careful. I think Aro wants to make sure she is who he thinks she is before he comes to claim her."
"We need to call the Cullens and let them know!" Kate said.
"Agreed," I said. "Carmen can you-"
Just then the door bell rang. "Now who could that be?" I said.
I went to the door and opened it and froze in shock. Aro smiled at me, many of his guard were behind his back. I saw Chelsea, Felix, Dimitri, Renata, and many others from his guard, along with a smirking Illyria.
"Hello Tanya, may we come in, we have much to discus."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sara POV
Sam slammed his fist onto the table breaking it. "No! This is not happening! I will not stand for this!"
Everyone stared at Sam, surprised by his outburst.
"Stand, sit, I don’t care what you do, but this has nothing to do with you Sam," Embry said glaring at Sam.
"No! Sam is right," Embry’s mom said getting up.
"Mom!" Embry said.
"I’m sorry Embry," she said shaking her head. "I have tried to be supportive of this, I’ve tried to see past the issue but this can’t work out. Embry you can’t marry her…she’s a vampire!"
"I noticed."
"Embry you can’t have a normal life with her."
"I’m not normal mom, I’m a werewolf," he said.
"You can’t age if your with her, and what if you imprint? Do you really want to put her through that? And you can’t have babies with her."
I looked down sadly. Rose hissed at her and the wolves all stood up and growled at her. Emmett joined Rose, he didn’t hiss so much as growl.
"I know that mom, but I don’t care, as much as this may surprise you I don’t care about having kids, as long as I am with her."
"Embry listen to yourself, she’s a corpse!"
I bit back a sob. Her words were cutting me deep.
"She is more alive then you think mom." Embry said.
"She’s a vampire! How can you stand the smell of her?" Paul asked.
"Shut up Paul," Embry growled.
"We will not allow this," Sam said. "We hunt vampires, not marry them!"
"What about Jake and Nessie?"
"She is his imprint, nothing we can do about that," Billy said. "But she is not your imprint Embry, she is a vampire, this goes against everything you are, everything you were born to be."
"I don’t see a rule book saying thou shall not marry a vampire, it’s my life, I have made my decision."
"Embry what life can you have, they move around all the time, can you do that? Repeat schools and colleges all the time? Can you spend the rest of your life doing that? Can you leave your home and live with vampires? Can you live forever?" Sam asked.
Embry looked at me and smiled. "Why shouldn’t I when I have the most beautiful woman in the world to love me."
I smiled at him.
"I love you," I said.
"Jacob do something!" Sam said.
"What would you have me do Sam? Embry is my friend, if he loves her and wants to marry her then I give my blessings."
"Me too," Quil said.
"Hey if it floats his boat why not." Leah said.
"You know I’m going to say yes." Seth said.
"We are more then delighted to have Embry join our family," Carlisle said.
"He is my son not yours!" Embry’s mom snapped. "I will not lose my son to a bunch of vampires! He is going to stay here, finish school, meet a nice human girl, have a family of his own and grow old!"
"I will still finish school and go to college. Why can’t you be happy mom I love her?" Embry asked.
"Please Miss. Call. I do love him, I want to be with him. He’s been the only good thing to happen to me in my life, I can’t live without him." I said.
"I have nothing against you personally," She said. "But you can’t have dinner with me and the rest of our family, you don’t eat. You can’t give him children and I so want grandbabies. You will never age so I will have to watch him stay young while me and the rest of his friends and family grow old." She looked at Embry and there were unshed tears. I felt horrible for doing this to her. "Embry what about me? What about your friends? How can you leave them? You will have to if you don’t age? How can you just leave us all behind."
"I do love you mom, and I know I will have to leave eventually.." he glared at Sam. "I know I could imprint one day and do to her what you did to Leah."
Sam glared at him.
"I know I won’t have children with her, I know I will have to continue to go to school over and over again, I know all this. But I love her, she may be a vampire, but she is my vampire. I will love her, now and always."
"This is all my fault," she said. "If I had just raised you right if I had spent more time with you if I had just-" she stopped, catching herself in time.
"If you had just told me who my father is?" Embry asked bitterly.
"Alright people, I think we should all just calm down," Sue said. "We just got some big news and I think we should take a break and let this sink in"
"Come on Helen, lets go outside," Billy said taking Embry’s mom by the hand. The elders and the wolves left to go outside and talk. The imprints stayed behind to congratulate us and everything.
"Well that went well," Embry said.
"Not like we were expecting a warm congratulations or anything." I said.
"I’m sorry you had to go through that." he said.
"It doesn’t matter, they can’t stop us, no matter what."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam POV
"We have to stop them no matter what!" I said angrily.
"This is messed up man! A vampire! At least Jake’s mutant is half human!" Paul growled.
"If he imprints and breaks her heart she will go ape shit! She’ll use her power to keep him with her!" Jared said.
"How do we know she isn’t using her power on him now?" Paul asked.
"My god listen to you idiots, if the Cullens thought she was using her power on him they would stop it," Jamie said. "Ask Bella to shield him from her, if he snaps out of it we will know."
"No one asked your opinion psychopath!" Paul growled.
Jamie’s face went blank, I knew things were about to get deadly if I didn’t stop now. "Enough both of you," I said. I turned towards the elders and Helen. "What are we going to do?"
"We will have to call the elders and have a meeting of course," Billy said. "I don’t see what we can do though."
"Banish her from Washington." I said.
"For what reason? She has not broken the treaty, she has not attacked one of our wolves," Sue said.
"She is trying to take one of our wolves!" Jared said.
"No, Embry is choosing to leave with her. And he is not one of your wolves, he is one of Jake’s. No point in raising a fuss when there is no fuss to be made." Jamie said.
"No fuss! She is going to ruin any chance my son had of a normal life!" Helen said.
"He has made his choice, you should be happy for him."
Helen laughed. "What? No children, no friends, stuck with a bunch of vampires for the rest of his life?"
"Those are things you want, not him."
"Enough Jamie," I said. "What do we do?" I asked Billy.
"For now nothing, we still have plenty of time to stop this. Tomorrow I will go to the elders and we will have a meeting to discuss this, that is all."
"Very well, we will be going than, I have had my fill here." I turned to leave and the guys followed me.
"If it’s all right with you Sam I’d like to stay longer." Jamie said.
"No. Were all leaving," I said.
"Yes master," he said.
"Don’t!" I growled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Billy POV
We watched as Sam and the wolves left.
Once they were gone I turned to Helen. "Are you okay?" I asked.
"No! First Embry starts running around at night, then I find out he’s a werewolf, now he is going to marry a vampire! Of course I’m not okay!" she angrily wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Helen I am not thrilled about this anymore then you are. But Embry is a man now, he can take care of himself."
"He’s still in high school Billy, and he’s getting married. Bad enough he’s running around in the woods hunting vampires now he is marrying one, oh and he wants to know who his father is."
I froze. "Does he know?" I asked.
"Of course not, how could I tell him and not come off as a total slut?" she asked.
"Your not a slut Helen, we were young and adventurous is all," I said.
She rolled her eyes. "Oh that just makes it sooo much better. You have to do something Billy, he is your son too."
"I know," I sighed. "But now, especially not now."
"Maybe we should tell him? Maybe it will make him call the whole damn thing off!"
"Helen he is a teenager, how do they usually react to earth shattering news?"
"Your right, but damn it! I feel powerless, I am losing my son and I can’t stop it! You should have told me! You should have told me the second he phased!"
"And what would you have done if I told you our son was turning furry and out running the woods?" I asked calmly.
"I wouldn’t believe you but still, he’s my son too you know."
"I never doubted that Helen, you have done an excellent job raising him."
"We have to do something Billy…I wont lose him."
I wheeled myself over to her. She leaned down and I hugged her. "Don’t worry, we won’t lose our boy. We’ll think of something." I promised.
I didn’t know what I was going to do, but I already lost one son to the cold ones, I would not loose another.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jamie POV
Embry. He was an idiot. If he was smart he wouldn’t have taken her to Vegas and eloped there. But now there was no need for any D.N.A tests. But the question was should I go ahead and tell him or wait for the right moment.
Emotions were running high already and dropping the ball now could cause a fight. I was beginning to regret getting involved in the first place.
I think I will keep it to myself for now. Wait till things have cooled down, then drop the ball. Don’t want to get carried along in the craziness that is to come after all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eleazar POV
I sat in my study with Aro. He was flanked by Demitri and Felix. The rest of the guard was downstairs with my family. I feared for them, even though Aro said he was here to talk.
"Eleazar my old friend, relax, I have already told you I mean you no harm this day," ha laughed. "Calm down man."
"Forgive me Aro but after the events of last year I find myself terrified by your presence here."
He laughed, jolly as ever. "Eleazar if I wanted you dead I would have it done now. They events of last year were unfortunate, what with Irina and everything, but I hold no grudge against you and yours…how ever it had been brought to my attention you might have something of mine."
"I take not what belongs to another man Aro." I said.
He held out his hand. "I’ll be the judge of that."
I looked at him and closed my eyes. I had no choice. I extended my arm and he took my hand. With my power I saw him using his power over me. I watched as his eyes narrowed and flashed with surprise. "So it is true," he said letting my hand go. "All these years I thought my sister’s line lost to me. When the nomad came with my guard and showed me her memories I thought it was a lie. Then I used my resources to learn more of the girl. Saw pictures of her, like seeing Didyme reincarnated before my eyes. She looks so much like my beloved sister."
He clasped his hands together. I saw many emotions run through his eyes. Eagerness, joy, pride. I could practically hear the gears in his head turn as he schemed.
"Her hair is different though, like golden silk, Didyme’s face was more pointed and soft but otherwise they could be sisters. Oh and the power…mustn’t forget the power." he smiled and I felt my stomach sink.
"This little thing with the wolf could be a problem though," Aro said. "Not sure how to feel about my niece marrying a dog."
"Aro please, the girl has been through enough in her life, she is happy with the wolf, let them be," I begged him.
Aro shook his head. "I can not do that Eleazar, she is of my blood, no matter how many generations removed it is. She is of my blood, of Didyme’s blood, it’s time she claimed her inheritance."
"Aro please, the life of the Volturi is not for one such as her, it is too harsh an existence."
"She is a vampire, maybe if you and Carlisle remembered that you would have never left." his eyes focused on me dangerously. "Did you both really think you could keep her from me?"
"You saw my thoughts, did I intend to use her against you? Did I take pleasure in hiding her from you? No. I did what was best for Sara, she came her afraid of herself, of what she had become. I taught her control, I gave her discipline, I helped her tame her power."
"And I owe you so much for that," Aro smiled. "Saves me the trouble of doing it myself, though I daresay I will have to do a few more tests with this unique power."
"Aro, she will not go with you."
"Why not?" he asked. "With us she will want for nothing, she will have an army of vampires at her call, she will live a life even the immortal desire, as a member of the most powerful coven on the earth."
"She does not drink human blood, she loves the werewolf, and if anything happened to him you may wind up like Vincent." I said.
"I am willing to accept the wolf into our group, though Caius will be most displeased by it, you know me, I like to collect unique and valuable things." he smiled. "Caius won’t like the wolf, but Marcus will love having Sara there, it might even bring him out of his funk."
"Aro she is young and gentle, the world you have built it mighty, this is true but for a soul as gentle as the heavens it would be a hell.."
"I can’t let her go Eleazar, I owe it Didyme, I owe it for failing her all those years ago," Aro said. His face showed an emotion I have never seen on his face. Remorse, sadness. Didyme died many years ago, yet Aro still wept for her.
He got up as did I. "We will travel to Forks to collect her. I would like for you and your coven to come with us," he said.
"Why?" I asked.
"To say goodbye, I am grateful towards you and Carlisle for caring for her, for teaching her. Even if it went against our nature. Plus I don’t want you to call Carlisle and ruin the surprise." he smiled. "Although I am sure Alice will see us coming."
"Very well, we will come with you." I said.
"Splendid, and don’t worry, I promise I will not kill you or your coven as long as they do not raise a hand against me or mine. I know the sisters still are mad about their sister so I hope you can convince them not to do anything….rash."
"I will make them understand." I said.
"Alright." He clapped his hands. "Lets go to Forks! I have to go meet my great-great-great-great-great-great…….oh you get the idea." he laughed.
