Lilith P.O.V
I remember Bella once telling me a story of when she was human.
She had encountered a nomad vampire called James who hunted her. He tricked her into coming to him by making her think he had kidnapped her mom. She had barely escaped with her life.
I was going to give myself over to Maria, I had to for my brother’s sake. But if that bitch thinks I am dumb enough to think I will be going alone she has another thing coming.
I got Sam, Jake, Seth, Leah, and the Cullens of course. We had to put the game on hold while we talked. There was no way I was going to let my family know Able was in any danger. They would want to gear up and go save him themselves.
“No, way!” Seth growled.
“He’s my brother, I can’t leave him to her.” I said.
“No, I won’t risk losing you!”
“So what we just leave him to be killed or worse by her?” I demanded.
“How long do we have?” Carlisle asked.
“She said call her when I made my choice.” I said.
“Your life or your brother’s?” he said sadly.
“Actually, my life, his or yours. She wanted me to try and kill you.” I smiled at the
surprised look on his face. “Don’t forget she is insane.”
“So what’s the plan?” Bella asked. “Don’t forget my power can protect us from hers.”
“Yeah but as long as she has Able there isn’t much we can do,” Sam said.
“We need to think of something and think quick, the longer we wait the longer she has to play with Able.” I said remembering her words.
“How about we have Lilith call her, say she will be there and we find out her location, that way we can form a plan on how to get close enough to surround her and hopefully kill her this time.” Esme said.
“Sounds like a plan to me,” I pulled out Emily’s phone and dialed Able’s number. It didn’t take long for her to pick up.
“Finally, I was getting bored.”
“You want me you got me. Tell me where and when.” I said.
“Hmm, should have known you wouldn’t be stupid enough to try and kill Carlisle. I was so hoping you would try, then his family would have killed you and the wolves would have kill them, so many birds with one stone.” she said sounding disappointed.
“Don’t underestimate me chica.”
“Oh don’t worry I learned my lesson after last time. Now as too our meeting, lets say tomorrow up in the mountains from La Push close to Forks, you know where?”
“Yes but why not today? You want me so badly why wait?” I asked. I did not like the thought of her with Able longer then necessary.
“Oh miele occhio, with all the wolves there and I am sure are looking for me now there is no way you could lose one of them. They would eventually follow you to me. Just be there tomorrow night, and don’t tell no one or else your fratello will die a death worse then you will know.” she hanged up.
“Shit!” I said.
“We know when and where now all we need to do it come up with a strategy.” Jake said.
“I know you’re not going to try and keep me out of the loop.” I said with a frown.
“You’re not going Lilith.” Seth said immediately.
“Yes I am, in case you didn’t hear, Maria will kill my brother unless I show up. And unless you know someone who can change there shape I don’t think you can do anything about it!”
There was a fight about to happen, I could feel it. Growing up I had been around a lot of fights. Some were just minor bar fights, others had been life and death situations. Growing up in that kind of environment gives you an instinct for when there will be a fight. This was and wasn’t about life and death, I wasn’t worried Seth would hurt me, but Able’s life was on the line. And I could not risk him being hurt because Seth was in protecting imprint mode.
“Zafrina,” Carlisle said.
“Who?” I asked.
“Zafrina is a friend of our. She and her coven live in the Amazon. But what’s more she has the power to create very powerful illusions that can affect all the senses.”
“Like that illusionist Maria had last time?” I asked.
“Yes, if we contact her she would be more then willing to help.” Carlisle smiled.
“Nessie would be happy to see her, it’s been a while and we did promise her a visit with Nessie.” Bella said.
I noticed that Jake, Seth and Jake weren’t looking too happy.
“What’s wrong with you guys?” I figured they would be happy someone like Zafrina would becoming. I mean if she was friends with the Cullen’s she can’t be bad. Maybe she had an attitude problem like Rose.
“Zafrina isn’t like the Cullens,” Jake said.
“She’s a murder is what she is!” Sam snapped.
I looked between the Cullen’s and the wolves confused. Then it dawned on me. “She isn’t a vegan vamp is she?” Vegetarin was a term the Cullen’s coined to describe vampires like them who only fed on the blood of animals.
“Yes, but she helped us before when the Volturi came for us,” Carlisle said.
“And we had to let her feed on humans.” Sam said angrily.
“Not in Forks or La Push, she and her coven respected your rules and went out of state to find food.” Carlisle said. The tone he was using was justifying or persecuting. He was stating a fact.
“That doesn’t change the fact we allowed murders on our turf knowing they would be murdering innocents!” Sam growled.
“Do you have a better suggestion Sam?” I asked. All this fighting was beginning to piss me off. While we stood there arguing about ethics and morality my brother was probably being tortured by the evil witch.
“We don’t need any vampire help to take care of one leech, tomorrow we go and kill her, simple as that,” Sam said crossing his arms. His face was confidant and arrogant. If he wanted to get one of his wolves killed trying to play Mr. big wolf he can go right on ahead but not my brother.
“Don’t be so arrogant Sam; I was there when Maia used her power on your pack, hell on everyone. And as I recall there wasn’t a single wolf who wasn’t on the ground whimpering like a baby. You included.”
Sam’s eyes darkened in anger. Seth came and stood next to me. I appreciated it greatly, I know we were feuding at the moment but the fact he was still willing to stand by me meant a lot to me. Jake walked over to stand with us to lending his support silently. You mess with one of the Alpha’s pack you mess with the Alpha. I may not be a wolf but I was still Seth’s imprint and Jake‘s friend, at least he could see the necessity of what we had to do.
“And are you willing to have a murder help you? Can you live knowing that someone who kills innocent people helped you save your brother? Can you sleep knowing that afterwards she will go back home and drain the life from people?” he asked.
As much as I hate to say it Sam’s words were shaking my confidence. I am not a good person, I am no saint. I can be mean, vindictive, pushy, and spiteful. But I have always prided myself in knowing right from wrong. I do not know this woman; I do not know what she fells when she sinks her teeth into a person. But if living with my family has taught me anything is that life isn’t just about white and black, good and evil. Life is so much more then just head or tails. There are shades of grey more infinite then two simple choices. Because life is never easy or simple.
Sometimes you have to make a hard decision, that doesn’t mean you are bad or evil. You do what you must and you live with your choices. Simple as that. I don’t know this Zafrina. Maybe she is just another person trying to live, maybe she is picky with who she eats. But I know for a fact if Carlisle Cullen who is more human then any person I know can vouch for her then she is alright in my book. I won’t call her a saint, but I won’t demonize her either.
“I am willing to make a compromise Sam, my brother is in the hands of a deranged vampire who can bring forth an endless supply of fear in a person by just looking at them. If calling this woman will help us save him and take her out then I’ll do what I will,” I said with as much conviction as I could. I never say something I don’t mean.
“So just like that you’ll allow the many to die to save the few?”
“Does you’re moral compass always point north Sam,” Seth asked.
“What do you mean Seth? How can you stand there and talk about letting a nomad help us?” Sam asked.
“We did it before Sam,” Jake said. “And believe me I didn’t like it but it was either that or annihilation of not only the Cullen’s but the tribe as well. The Volturi wouldn’t have just left us alone.”
“And I understand that, but we paid the consequences for doing that. All the wolves that phased, the pups. I know you imprinted on a Cullen Jake but remember we have been killing leeches for eons. We don’t need to turn to vampires when one of them gives us trouble.” His face was resolved; it was the kind of look a man gets when they truly believe what they are saying. “We tolerate the Cullen’s because they do not drink human blood, but nomads are not tolerable. They murder humans with no remorse and it is our job to kill them.”
“Are you so arrogant you will risk my brother’s life for the sake of your pride?” I said angrily.
“I am confidant in my pack and its ability to kill a blood sucker; with Bella we can negate her powers. We don’t need a nomad’s help.”
“I am not fond of the idea myself Sam, but Zafrina stood with us against the volturi. She is not a malevolent person, she just does what she must to live, what is in her nature,” Carlisle said.
“I don’t see red in your eyes Carlisle, if it is so easy to fight of human blood for your family then surely any vampire can do it,” Sam said.
“But it’s not easy Sam,” Esme said. “Even I after all these decades struggle at times to resist the temptation. Just because some one can not resist temptation doesn’t mean they are evil, they just have a weakness they can’t control.”
“Her morality is not the issue, it’s the fact she still drinks human blood. It is our job, no, our duty to kill any vampire who takes human life. I see no reason to ask for her help.”
“Then how do you propose we get close enough to Maria without risking Able or Lilith,”
Seth said. “Tell me Sam would your moral compass be so straight if Emily was the one being held hostage?”
“Don’t you dare bring her into this Seth!” Sam growled.
“Were no asking you to let her on La Push, we are just asking you to let her help us,” Carlisle said.
“No, we do not need her help. I will not work with a nomad, once was enough,” Sam said finally.
“Then I am sorry Sam,” Jake said. He turned to Carlisle. “Contact her and get her here as soon as possible.”
“JACOB!” Sam said angrily.
“What? “Jake asked calmly.
“I will not allow a nomad any where near La Push!” Sam growled.
“You forget I am Ephraim’s descendant, I can change the rules as I see fit,” Jake said calmly.
“How dare you Black!” Sam shouted. “First you want nothing to do with the power or responsibility, then when it suits you, you use the power but you take no responsibility. That isn’t how it works Jake. Either you’re the Alpha or your not, either you’re the chief or your not. You can not just decide to be separate from the system but still use it for your own needs.”
“I do what I must to preserve all life Sam, human and inhuman alike. And you forget I am a separate system. I am Alpha of my own pack. If you aren’t willing to bend your morals and make a compromise then I will. I and my pack will assist the Cullen’s in defeating this threat, and if that means we must work with a nomad then so be it. We make compromises Sam, that’s the difference between us and you Sam.”
“And what of our ancestors! What would they say if they saw us now!”
“Our ancestors can’t say much Sam, they’re dead, Ephraim was able to see past all the distrust and hate. If I am to be truly chief like you say then I must be able to make choices that are not fuelled by pride or arrogance, I must be able to see the bigger picture. And the bigger picture is that I must do our first and foremost duty, protecting humans even if it means working with a nomad . You can work with us Sam, the help will be appreciated, but if you will not help then please stay out of our way. Don’t complicate things.”
“One day Jacob you will see, one day you will see them for what they are and you will see how foolish you were. A lion is still a lion even if you trim it’s mane, and a wolf is still a wolf even if you put it in sheep’s clothing.” he spun around and left us. He called out to his pack and they all left.
I saw Jamie hesitate and shoot a glance at Leah who shook her head. He nodded and left with the others. My family was a little confused. Some of my brothers thought the Quileute boys left before they could lose the game. Jake went over to talk with his father and the other elders. I didn’t envy him telling the elders of his little spat with Sam.
“I will try and contact the Amazon coven immediately. It might take a while, they don’t have phones you see,” Carlisle said.
“We’ll send Edward and Alice. She knows exactly where they live and Edward is the fastest,” Esme said.
“Thanks for all your help.” Seth said giving them a smile.
“That’s what family does, they look out for each other,” Bella smiled.
I had forgotten that Bella and I were quasi related. Her dad Charlie was going out with Sue, so I guess in a weird way we were family. Hey I have rich family members! Sweet!
The Cullen’s took off then deciding to get this Zafrina as soon as possible, leaving me and Seth all alone. It was awkward to say the least. On the one hand there were still some issues between me and him right now, but on the other he did take my side. What more can a girl ask for?
“Thanks,” I said. “For sticking by me.”
He sighed and took my hand in his, I loved his hands so much. So big, so warm, so rough but gentle. Like he could pick up sand and it would not crumble. There had been plenty of times when those hands had roamed over my body, memorizing each and every curve like a map. Try getting a massage from a werewolf, one word. AWESOME!
“You really drive me crazy Lil, the way you throw yourself in front of danger. You’re not a shield you know,” he said.
“He’s my brother, wouldn’t you do the same for Leah?” I asked.
“Yes, but I can protect myself, your just human Lil, and there will be plenty of times when that will be all you are. You can’t fight vampires Lil, humans can never stand toe to toe against a vampire, it’s just not meant to be.”
“I know, I’m not stronger then a locomotive, I’m not faster then a speeding bullet, and I sure as hell can’t shrug of getting hit by a train. But I am very smart Seth, and cunning,” I said humbly. I wasn’t being prideful I was just stating a fact. Power can be a very useful thing, but only if you know what to do with it. I may not be able to fight Maria one on one, but maybe I can out smart her.
“All the brain power won’t matter if you’re fighting someone stronger and faster then you,” he said.
“And has a demon power,” I said. Maria isn’t a demon but her power is defiantly something from the bowels of hell.
“Exactly,” he said.
“But you forget I have the one thing she doesn’t.”
“What’s that?”
“Friends,” I leaned forward and kissed him. “And you.”
“Aren’t you afraid? I can’t stand the thought of you being in any kind of danger, if I were to lose you I would die to Lil, you’re my everything. I love you.” he said.
I smiled at him warmly, all negative feelings were forgotten. There were many thoughts on imprinting. Some thought it was an instinct to find a mate that will continue the wolf line, ensuring that wolf babies will be born. Others think that imprinting is more of a spiritual thing, that the imprint makes the wolf better in some way. I favor the latter, but I also think that the wolf can make the imprint better in some way.
I was an angry bitch, make no mistake. Seth was too soft for the world. But there were times when his softness pushed back my anger and brought out my gentler side, and my anger helped him see that good doesn’t always conquer the world. We complete each other in some way, compensating for the others weaknesses.
There was a time when I thought all men were dogs, but I was wrong. Some are just wolves and that is a very good thing.
“Hey what the hell man!” a voice called out. I groaned and saw my family was heading our way, trust them to ruin the moment.
“What happened to the party?” Fredo asked.
“Some things came up and everyone had to leave. I called Able, he is staying at a motel.” I lied. I hate lying but that doesn’t mean I won’t use it.
“What? Why?” Dad asked.
“He’s in a pissy mood, just give him his space and I’m sure he’ll be back soon. You know Able and that temper of his.” I said.
“No offense chica but I don’t think you should talk of tempers.” Dad smiled.
I gave my dad the bird and everyone laughed. For a moment it felt like we were all one big happy family. Just for a moment.
“Well I say we go back home and get shit faced!” Zane said. “All this clean cut family shit sucks, let’s really celebrate Lilith’s wedding.”
My brothers cheered and I rolled my eyes. “First let’s stop by the house and change, if we are celebrating for your sister we must look our best,” dad said.
“NO!” me and Seth shouted at the same time.
If they went back to the house and saw anything suspicious who knows what they’ll do. I mean we have no idea what the house looks like.
“It’s just, I wanted to stay here for a little longer, just because the others left doesn’t mean we can’t play one more football game,” I said.
They agreed for one more game and I sighed in relief. “Seth can you ask Leah to go to the house and get the thing,” I said.
“Thing? What thing?” he asked confused.
I looked over to my family who were still listening to us, I saw they were getting suspicious. “What do you need from the house that you don’t want us to see?” Dad said in a deadly calm voice.
I turned around with a perfect smile. “Well I need some things,” I said.
“What kind of things?”
“Oh you know, stuff…for down there,” I said pointing to my woman parts.
My father and brothers winced at the description. They could torture a man and not flinch but when ever I brought up my menstrual issues they flinched. Men.
Seth figured I wanted Leah to check on the house and make sure it was presentable. Seth went over and told Leah who nodded and left with Jake. We hadn’t told Cain yet because he would be devastated to know Able was in danger and he would be more then ready to hunt down Maria, scary vampire power or not.
I watched as my family and some of Jakes pack played ball, the elders left after having a very heated talk with Jake to which we were obviously not privy. My family didn’t care, they thought it was Quileute business and didn’t think it concerned them.
I was going to have to ask Bella how she managed living with the supernatural and living a human life. Maybe she could give me some pointers. I hope to god nothing happens to Able, he was the biggest pain in the ass but he was my brother and he was always there for me. And if something happened to him my family would not rest until they found out who and where and why.
That was how we are, you mess with one and we all come down on you like rain. The problem was them finding anything out about the wolves or vampires was a problem all on its own.
Hang on Able I’m coming for you hermano.
Fusedtwilight: So we will be seeing Zafrina soon. Sam is back to being stuck up about vampires again, and Lillith and Seth have made up. Please review, seriously review I need some feedback people, last chapter only one review, so please review. If I can at least get three I’ll be happy.
