Chapter 6

Sara P.O.V

I felt...numb. I wasn't scared, angry, sad, depressed, or hysterical. I walked with Emmett and Rose through the woods trying to find something to eat, or rather drink. I knew my mom was dead, I knew I was a vampire, but it was like I haven't been hit with the realization yet. Maybe it was a vampire thing? Can vampires still feel?. "Sara?" Rose asked getting my attention.

"Yes"

"Did you here a word of what I said?" she asked.

"Sorry miles away" I said softly.

She sighed "As I said, do you smell it?"

"Smell what".

"Food" she said with a smirk.

I sniffed the air, I smelt a lot of things, but something in the air made my mouth water. Some thing warm and fluidic, something that would poor down my throat like fresh spring water, "She smells it all right" Emmett said with a smirk.

"Good, now just follow your instincts, follow the scent" Rose said edging me on.

I did what she said and followed the smell, I quickly ran, the desire for substance drove all rational thought out the window, I ran so quickly I barely touched the ground. Trees and branches passed by me dangerously close, but it took a mere twitch and I would miss them by inches. I came to a small clearing and found a moose.

"Aww, I was hoping for a bear" Emmett wined.

"Go on Sara, it's all yours" Rose said.

I leapt forward, a single leap and I was on the moose. It tried to run but I had it in a death grip, I moved it's neck to the side. I could feel the blood, underneath all that paper thin flesh. I sank my teeth into it's neck and in an instant blood gushed forward quickly filling my mouth with the wonderful taste. I quickly began slurping on all the delicious fluid, I didn't stop when I heard Emmett and Rose come forward.

"Vegan my ass look at her, she as bad as Alice" Emmett said, "Acting all innocent, but look at that she acts just like any other wild creature".

"She's a vampire Emmett not a creature" Rose chastised.

By the time I finished feeding of the moose, the thirst had died down, it was still there like any hunger waiting to rise again, but now I could think clearly, and stare in horror at what I had done, "Oh god" I whispered staring into the dead moose's eyes,

"I'm so sorry" I said petting its head. I quickly stood up and slowly backed away from the poor thing.

"Woh there girl calm down" Emmett said slowly walking forward.

"I can't do this I'm sorry" I said and went to run.

I felt a pair of large thick arms grab me from behind, "Easy there kiddo, don't be running off" he said gently.

I had to run, it was all too much, I need to run, run from it all, from the truth, from everything. I stared at the large furry beast I killed, something about the size and fur reminded me of something? Suddenly it came to me, a large snarling wolf large as a horse, Embry? And the feeling of cold hands holding my neck as teeth ripped into my soft exposed flesh.

"NO!" I shouted, I grabbed Emmett's arms and flung him across from me. He went flying and landed into a tree, shattering the tree into a million pieces.

"STAY AWAY!" I shouted and took of running.

"SARA!" Rose shouted but I ignored her.

I ran, I ran as fast as I could and then I ran some more. I never got tired, or sore, finally I came to a stop at a small clearing full of trees. I cried, I sobbed, but there were no tears, there would never be anymore tears.

I heard footsteps, I turned and saw Rose slowly walking toward me, her face full of pity. "There, there" she whispered wrapping her arms around me in a hug, "It's ok let it all out" she whispered.

"I don't understand?" I asked in confusion.

"Let it all out sweetie, you can't cry, but you can still do one other thing" she said.

I understood, and I began to scream. I screamed because of my childhood, I screamed because of my mother, I screamed because of the man, I screamed because of life, I screamed because of the world. I think it might have heard.

Rose P.O.V

The poor thing, I held her in my arms as she screamed. I had done the same thing right after I killed Royce. Screaming at the world for what it stole from you, that was my scream, but her scream was different, how can you scream about something you never had?

She stopped and lay in my arms just lying still not doing anything, "I'm sorry about Emmett, is he ok?" she asked her scarlet eye's full of sympathy.

I nodded, "He's fine, he will demand a rematch though, and he takes wrestling matches very seriously though" I said and she cracked a smile.

"Embry, he's a werewolf?" she asked.

"Shape-shifter, but to keep it simple we just go ahead and call him and the rest werewolves, it's why they smell bad, we are after all natural enemies" I said.

"Enemies? But why was Jake acting all friendly?" she asked.

"It's a long story" I sighed, "In fact it would probably take at least four books just to give it proper justice" I said.

"He doesn't hate me does he?" she asked fearfully.

"No, he absolutely loves you" I said and her face instantly warmed.

Poor girl, if she only knew of her future troubles.

Embry P.O.V

I sat in the living room with a brand new cast on my arm. I sat thinking about Sara. The blond and the big leech went to take her hunting. I shuddered at the thought, thinking of her draining some animal of blood was to nauseating a thought. How Jake could stand watching Nessie do it I'll never understand. I thought about how she looked before and after her transformation. Her dirty blond hair kept its natural sheen, only now it was more like golden threads, when compared to her snow-white skin it seemed to glow, her natural skinniness was more evened out, she had a more petit look then an anorexic one. She was like some beauty born from snow; I could only imagine how natural she would look in the wintertime, surrounded by all that white, as if she was born from it. There was something about her to; it was like she had an aura around her that drew me in. Despite her smell I felt so attracted to her, and then when she grabbed my hand it was like a jolt of electricity. I sat with Jake and some of the other Cullens as we discussed more about Sara, I wonder what the future had in store for us.

Carlisle P.O.V

I sat with my family and our guests discussing our potential new family member.

"I called Tanya and the others, they said they would be delighted to have her if she wanted to live with them" I said recalling Tanya's words.

"Maybe we should all go up for a visit" Esme said placing her beautiful hand on my shoulder, "It would be a great getaway from all this horrible stress of late".

She was obviously referring to the incident with Maria a few months back. I still shuddered at the thought of that woman, to think of how close she came to destroying us all.

"Ya lets visit auntie Kate, and auntie Tanya" Nessie said bouncing in Jacobs lap.

"I'll talk to Rose and Emmett when they come back" I said, "They should be back from hunting soon" I said.

"Yep" Alice said, "Embry You might want to be in her room when she gets back, she's going to need some sweet talk" Alice said.

"Why is she ok?" Embry asked worried.

"Physically perfect, emotionally she's in shock, it all hasn't really sinked in and after her first meal she may need a familiar shoulder to cry on" she said and he nodded in understanding.

"What about family? Doesn't she have any other next of kin that may worry for her?" Esme asked.

"No" Edward said shaking his head; "Her father left years ago and hasn't been seen since".

"Charlie checked her family, she has no close family members, and her mother became the black sheep and caused the two of them to become alienated from the rest. She only has distant cousins no one who would really miss her" Bella said.

"How sad, to be stuck with such a horrid woman for all these years, and no one to help he lift her burden" Esme said sadly.

"She has us now" Nessie said smiling, "And she has Embry, I think she really likes him".

Embry blushed a little and Jake smiled at her perceptiveness. I had to wonder if I had met one of these cousins, there was something about her, something so familiar. But he couldn't place his finger on it, it was possible he had met an ancestor, it had happened before. He would do some more research into her family tree later. Who knows she might have an important relation out there somewhere.

Sara P.O.V

I walked with Emmett and Rose back to the Cullen's house. Emmett was giving a vivid detail about the day he was attacked. "So there I was right, I was heading home from the bar when I saw this great big bear" he said grinning.

"And instead of running for his life he decides to wrestle with it" Rose said shaking her head.

"Hey I didn't think it was that big, I could have taken it" he said pouting.

"It was an adult grizzly bear! What in the world made you think you could wrestle it?" she asked.

"One word, LIQUER!" he shouted boyishly.

I started to laugh and Rose had a smile on her face

"Idiot your lucky we don't drink you as a vampire would be a disaster".

"I can still try" he said with a shrug.

""Em we can't taste food or drinks why would you try to drink?" she asked.

"I'm still Irish" he said and we all burst into roaring laughs.

"You idiot" Rose gasped, "I'm your wife of 80 years and you still know how to make me laugh".

"I can still make you cry too" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Why would you make her cry?" I asked, they seemed so happy to be crying.

Rose looked away in embarrassment Emmett grinned "Oh I make her cry, scream, moan, and most importantly cu-" before he could finish Rose covered his mouth.

"That's enough" she hissed, "Or no sex for a month".

Emmett looked like someone killed his dog. If I could blush I would be cherry red, I finally understood what he went by cry. We continued to walk and I had to ask a question "Rose what I am going to do? What about School?" I asked.

"Don't worry when we get back Carlisle will have a plan" she said putting her arms around my shoulders, "In the meantime lets just enjoy our little walk" she said.

"But what about Embry? Do I smell so bad to him? He smells awful to me" I said.

"Yeah, they smell as bad to us as we smell to them" Emmett said, "You should smell them after they get wet" he said scrunching his nose.

Embry P.O.V

I stood outside waiting for them to return. It was a nice sunny day which was a rarity. I stood there waiting, at the first sign of there smell I quickly looked up and saw them heading for me. They didn't notice me until they smelled me. I saw Sara glance at me then look away embarrassed. I wasn't wearing a shirt; I grinned at her and went to meet with them. "Hey" I said to her.

"Hey" she whispered back.

I grabbed her chin gently and stared into her scarlet eyes. "Your eyes" I whispered.

"Their ugly I know" she said sadly.

"No, there just creepy" I said and smiled, "Your still the most beautiful girl I've ever seen" I said.

If she could blush I know she would. We just stared at each other and Emmett made a coughing sound to get my attention, but I ignored him. Sara was so beautiful her skin was like the moonlight given flesh, it sparkled like a vampires skin does when exposed to sunlight, her hair which was originally a dirty blond was now like golden threads it would match her eyes as soon as she was a year older. She stared me her breathing had become hitched. I don't know why but something about her called to me, the more I looked at her the more she became beautiful. Touching her made it worse she was so soft, so pure, so gentle. It was as if slowly all the things that kept me centered, my mother, my family, my friends. One by one they were all slowly severed and one by one were replaced by a connection more powerful, a connection to this pale goddess. This beauty sent from heaven, my Angle, my Sara, MINE! I grabbed her and kissed her, I put as much love and passion as I could. I wanted her, I needed her! She had to pick me, she had to allow me to spend all eternity with her, without her the world was so cold and dark, she was perfect she was divine. I would do anything for her, I would kill anyone. All she needs to do is point and the vile offender would die. I love her, I worship her. She is mine, all mines. My love, my imprint.

Rose P.O.V

I stared in disgust as the wolf practically molested the poor girl in front of us. How could she stand there and allow him to do that to her? Emmett coughed again to try and get there attention but he only kissed her more fiercely. The smell of his arousal was thick in the air.

"That's enough" I said loudly.

I really got pissed when he couped her ass. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" I screamed. I walked forward and grabbed his shoulder. He looked at me and began to growl like a savage beast. He leapt at me and erupted in fur and claws.

Jasper P.O.V

I sat with Alice. We were cuddled on the couch. "I am so excited, were going to have a new sister Jazzy, our family keep's growing and growing" she said with a smile.

"So she will decide to join us then?" I asked.

"Yep, Forks is still her home, and Embry is here so he will be a great help" she said with a smile.

I knew better then to doubt her. Alice may not be infallible but if she said she would be happy then he believed her. His only concern was the wolf; he knew how strong his feelings for her were. But he had his reservations and some of the others to. He didn't imprint on her, and the last thing the poor thing needed was a Leah situation to happen to her. Plus there was the whole living forever. Jake's love for Nessie would give him the resolve to live through the ages. But was Embry's love strong enough to last for that long? Alice must have seen my fears for the couple because she cupped my cheek with her hand.

"Don't worry Jasper they'll be fine" she said and smiled.

"I thought you couldn't see the wolves?" I asked.

"I can't" she said simply.

"Then how?"

"Faith" she said.

"You simply have faith?" I asked raising an eyebrow

"Of course faith. It will all work out"

"But what if he imprints? Or decides it's not worth it? Can you see her surviving such an emotional fall?" I asked.

She smiled and kissed me on the head, "Silly of course there is a risk, but she has been alone for so long, a mere second of happiness could do her wonders, and if she falls we'll all be there to catch her" she grinned.

"It's kind of weird, before the wolves were our natural enemy. Now they seem to be trying to mate with us" I said with a frown.

"You don't like them" she asked tipping her head to the side.

"Don't get me wrong, Jake and the others are fine men...and woman, but I think there is something they're keeping from us" I said. Truthfully I trusted Jacobs pack. It took a while but they soon discovered we weren't what the legends made us out to be, they became friendlier. It was common for many of them to come to the house and simply hang out. They all reeked to high heaven, but we all got used to them after a while. Esme was the most eager to have them around. The only thing she ever despaired about Bella becoming a vampire was the fact Bella would no longer eat. She loved cooking and was quite happy when Jake and the others started coming to our place. She loved making them food, it was a hobby for her, and the young wolves especially took a shine to her. Sadly many of the younger wolves' parents' practically disowned them. They didn't want mutant dogs as children, poor things. We were all one big happy family, but for a while now, I sensed an...Unease with the pack, some strong tension was begging to fill their young hearts; I suspected it had something to do with Sam's pack. He may have helped us protect Nessie, but I would never forget how quickly he was to break the treaty and try to kill Bella, and Ness.

"Why would they keep something from us?" she asked, "Ugghhh it is so irritating how I can't see them!" she said frustrated.

"I just think that there may be some kind of pressure coming from the other pack that is effecting Jake's" I said smoothing her hair.

"What do you mean?"

"I think Sam is having trouble with some of his wolves, I also think there may be some issues from Sam's pack that are being projected onto Jakes' it just has them uneasy is all, I guess I'm worried that some of that stress might somehow affect Sara is all".

"ahhhh how sweet" she said kissing my nose, "She's been a member of the family for a few hours and already you're acting like her big brother"

"Hard not to, she's so fragile, even for a vampire. It's like she's made of glass"

"Don't worry, a year with you and Emmett will toughen her up a bit" she said sweetly.

"You see that?"

"I know that" God I loved this woman.

Suddenly I got a burst of emotion. It was like a wave of hot, burning, consuming emotions. I felt Lust, Desire, obsession, Delight, Joy, Need. It was coming from outside the house. For me to be able to sense it from this distance I must only be sensing the emotions weakly because of the distance. I can't imagine the full strength up close and personal. I sat up and stared in the direction I sensed them coming from, who on earth could be putting off such powerful feelings.

"Jasper?" Alice asked seeing my serious expression.

"Something is wrong" I said getting up and walking to the door.

"What is it?" she asked following me.

But then all those positive emotions were suddenly replaced with negative ones, Rage, Possession, Blood Lust, Murderous Intent,

"We need to get outside NOW!" I shouted.

Sara P.O.V

It was so nice. Embry had wrapped me in his strong embrace. The feel of all that warm naked flesh pressed against me well...I'm still a girl you know, how would you feel with a half-naked sexy man wrapped around you?...Don't answer that. I stared into his eye's so warm and loving. God I love this man. I love his smile, I love his laugh, I love his eye's, his mouth, his sensitivity, his hugs, but most of all I love him, and all the things that make him Embry. I wondered if it was against the rules for us to kiss? I mean he was a werewolf, and I a vampire. Doesn't that make us enemies? How could he be my enemy he saved my life. Were there rules that would keep us apart? No, I don't care; nothing would keep me from him. Nothing and no one, he was mine and I was his, I had thought.

I felt weird. It was like all my love and passion was light. It was now focused and pointed at Embry. I could feel this bright burning sensation flowing around him/in him. I saw those loving eye's darken with something. A dark dangerous feeling, before I could ask what was wrong he crushed our faces together. It wasn't gentle or love filled. Like our kiss had been before. It was hard, possessive, needful so needful. It was like he was trying to kiss my soul. I vaguely recall Emmett and Rose trying to get our attention but we kept kissing. Finally Rose grabbed me and pulled me away from him. Embry...he flew into a rage. He leapt at Rose and burst into fur and teeth. He pinned her to the ground and snarled. He drew his mouth back ready to tear her head off, but Emmett tackled him tot he ground. They circled each other, growling and snarling at each other. Embry may be a large wolf, but Emmett...he went from being a lovable teddy bear to a vicious bear. I heard feet running and soon we were joined by the rest of the Cullens who watched the scene with disbelieving eyes.

"EMBRY!" Jake shouted trying to get his attention but was ignored.

"Try going wolf, get in his head!" Jasper shouted.

Jake quickly shifted shredding his clothing and there was a giant red wolf. It had been Jake that night at my house. He padded up to Embry, and Embry started snarling at Jake who snarled back. I wonder what was happening?

Edward P.O.V

I had heard the disturbance and left Bella with Nessie. I was stunned at the sight before me. Emmett and Embry, who normally got along quite well were circling each other getting ready to kill each other. I knew from Rose and Emmett's thoughts what happened.

"Mine" Embry's thoughts screamed, "She's mine all mine, how dare that filthy leech whore stop me, they all want her but she's mine, mine alone mine my MATE!".

I shouted at Jake to shift and try to talk some sense into him. "EMBRY CALM DOWN!" Jake ordered and I knew he used his Alpha voice. He never used it, it made him to uncomfortable. He only used it during the direst situations and this wasn't one of them. The situation must be worse then I thought.

"GO AWAY!" he snarled and Jake snarled back. "YOU CAN"T HAVE HER SHE'S MINE!" he roared.

"Something's wrong" Jake thought. "It's like something's taken over him, but what".

I listened to Embry's mind trying to figure out the cause for his distress. All he could think about was Sara, he was crazed. He remembered kissing her and I realized the problem.

"Sara" I said to her and she turned her frightened eyes to me, "Call him off".

Sara P.O.V

I stared at him in disbelief, call him off? I know he's a dog but he is also a human, it's not like I have him trained. "Trust me" Edward said and I nodded.

"EMBRY!" I shouted. He stopped. He stopped moving, growling, I think he even stopped breathing. He stared at me his big wolf eye's big and hopeful. His tail waged back and forth and his ears perked up. He acted like nothing happened, "Come here Embry" I said.

He quickly trotted over to me, I held out my hand and he licked it eagerly.

"Strange" Edward said.

"Yes very" Carlisle said scratching his chin, "Emmett what happened?" he asked.

"I don't know he started flirting with Sara then he started kissing her, when Rose tried to pry him off her he went-ROSE NO!" Emmett shouted.

I saw Rose flying forward. Before anyone could stop her she brought her fist up and smashed Embry on the head, and he dropped to the ground like a sack of fur and muscle,

"FILTHY MONGRAL" she shrieked her blond hair flying around her beautiful face, "YOU TORE MY FAVORITE SHIRT YOU BASTARD!"

Embry P.O.V

Mine, all mine. Protect her from threats. She calls me. She loves me more than anyone. She favors me. I love this god calling my name. I walk quickly to her, best not keep her waiting. I lick her and she lets me so happy. She pets my head, she is so amazing. I feel something hit my head...ow.

Carlisle's P.O.V

Emmett carried Embry into the house. Apparently the wolves didn't turn back into humans even if knocked out. He gently placed him on the ground. They all huddled around him while I checked to make sure he wasn't to hurt.

"Rose that was very childish" Esme chided Rose.

"Childish! He attacked me and practically assaulted Sara" Rose defended.

"The situation was under control you killed him!" Jacob thundered.

"Believe me you low bred mongrel it took all my willpower not to just bash his brains out" she shot back and they glared at each other.

"Enough" I said, "Luckily she did hold back, there's no swelling, and his eye's are moving so he should be fine", I stood up and faced Rose, Sara, and Emmett.

"Now what exactly happened?" I asked. They explained exactly what happened, and Sara described the weird sensation she had.

"It was weird, it was like I took all the positive things I felt for Embry and it just flowed right into him" she said.

"Well I think we found your power" I said.

"Power? What power?" she asked confused.

"As you know we carry our human traits into our vampire life, some traits develop into powers like Edwards telepathy or Jasper's Empathy" I explained.

"So Sara has the power to drive guys crazy?" Emmett asked and we all stared at him, "What?"

"Anyway I think your power is like Jaspers, but different".

"But what do I do?"

"I'm not sure, it seems like your power gives you some kind of aura of love and desire, I haven't heard of such a power since..." I stopped. Could it be?

"Carlisle what is it?" Edward asked.

"Nothing I think I need to do some research, I may have an answer but I need some time, Embry should be fine, he may have a little concussion when he wakes, wake him every two hours just to be safe, excuse me" I left the room and went for my study. If my theory was right Sara was about to become much more endangered.

Esme's P.O.V

We watched as Carlisle tried to normally walk out. My husband never was good at hiding his feelings, at least in the way he walked. Being his wife I saw how nervous he was and I wanted to know what could make him act so awkward. Edward gave me a glance and I nodded, "I'll talk to him" I thought. I excused myself and followed him to his study. I heard rustling paper and drawers opening and closing in quick succession. I opened the door and found many old books and texts laying on his desk and he was franticly going through them.

"Carlisle? What is it?" I asked closing the door.

He looked up at me from his book

"I think I finally realized why she looks so familiar" he said, "Where is that book, the one with the mini paintings from Italy?" he asked trying to find the said book, "Ah ha found it" he said holding it to the light. He gently opened it and slowly turned the pages, finally he stopped at the page he was looking for and his eye's grew big and round.

"What is it?" I asked walking forward to see what he had found. It was a very old painting I recognized Aro, Marcus, Caius. I also recognized Sulpicia, and Athenodora, but the third woman I almost immediately recognized with a gasp. It was Sara, or someone who looked a lot like her. Instead of a golden yellow her hair was a jet black, her face was slightly more pointed then hers and she had a dimple on her chin. Where Sara's eyes were sad and downtrodden her eyes were full of love, compassion, and warmth. The same kind of warmth Sara had around her eye's edges.

"Who is that?" I asked amazed at the similarities.

"Didyme, Marcus's dead mate, and Aro's sister".

"But she looks so much like Sara how?"

"Years ago during my stay with the Volturi I learned from Aro and some of the guard of her, she had been dead for centuries before my time, but from what I learned Aro turned her when she reached adulthood, he wanted to see if his sister would develop a power similar to his, her power was an aura of love. To be near her was to know true joy and happiness, Despair was never felt in her presence and she was the most compassionate woman, she was loved by all. Marcus fell in love with her and they were happy, but during the great fire she was murdered and Marcus became the Zombie he is today".

"But do she and Sara look so similar?"

"I heard rumors tell that before she was turned Didyme was the mistress of a rich Aristocrat, she bore a child from that union and was cast from the man's house. Aro found here and turned her, she took in her child and his children, and his children's children till the day she died. It was believed that her decedents died with her during the great fire" he said solemnly, "But it could be that someone survived and continued to thrive, and Sara is the end result".

"So she could be Aro's great-great-great-great-great-great-great grand niece?" I asked amazed.

"Add a couple dozen more greats in there and yes she could be her power is similar although a bit more extreme. Which was why I am so cautious. If Aro was to learn of her existence then he would be hell bent to retrieve her, due to her blood ties to him and the power".

"My god can you imagine what he would do with her? Her power to make a person obsessed with her" I said horrified at the thought.

"Exactly which is why we need to wait before we go saying who she is related to, I need to do some more research on her family tree. Hopefully it is just a coincidence" he whispered. But we both knew otherwise.
