Heart of Stone

Seven

"We can't give her to Bella!" Jacob screams "she's human and she needs our protection just like everyone else!"

"Someone in this room correct me if I'm wrong" Jacob stormed back inside when he heard how the wolves were going to let Bella be 'vampire bait' as Jared put it, Embry and Paul behind him "but all the dead hikers are well dead because of her"

"Stay out of this" Jacob gets in my face snarling "you have caused nothing but problems"

"Get out of my face" I warn "now" when he doesn't I make him cough on water from his insides, he falls to the ground coughing up water. I stop after a moment looking at Sam then to Billy "if he is to be the next alpha you need to put him on a tighter leash, he is a threat of supernaturals with how impulsive he is being and letting his dick think for everything"

"We know" Billy sighs "where did I go wrong?"

"What?" Jacob asks when he stands "what do you mean?"

"Where did I go wrong in raising you?" Billy asks "I know your sisters are free spirits and that being in La Push was too hard since your mother passed, but I tried to raise you the best I could" the room is quiet, sighing he looks at Sam "Sam can you please help me to my truck?"

"Of course" Sam helps Billy leave

"Get your act together" Jared orders Jacob "you are being such a disappointment on your entire line"

"If" I say "no one needs me" looking around "I'll go"

"Let me" Harry offers

"Thank you"

~Time Skip~

"What are you?" Bella keeps persisting, since she woke up her dad signed her out against medical advice since she claimed she was fine. Now she has determined to get to the bottom of whatever I am, also with what Jacob is hiding from her.

"Get away from me" turning a page in my book "I will not warn you again" she scoffs and takes my book, I look at her "you want to know what I am?" She nods her head smiling like she's finally getting answers "I'm your worst nightmare" I punch her hard in the gut, she falls over going into a fetal position. I hear her struggle to breathe, shaking my head I take my book and go upstairs to lock her door.

I flop down on Bella's bed before something catches my eye, looking outside I see the vampire the wolves were talking about. Standing, I go to the door and open it before going outside. I make sure no one is looking before going into the woods, when I do I keep my eye on her.

Just as I'm a little past the tree line I use my hypnotic voice and command "come to me" after a moment a slight breeze hits me when she is standing right before me "so?" Leaning myself against a tree "your the vampire that's been killing hikers?"

"It's been some time since I've seen a siren" she breathes looking at me "doesn't your kind prefer the sun and not the gloom?" I smile looking away.

"Yes" nodding my head before I look at her "but when you've got Bella's mother breathing down your neck then giving you an offer that is hard to pass up" shrugging my shoulder "you come"

"Are you here to protect her?" She asks

I burst out laughing "no" shaking my head "far from it, I'm only here to observe. Like say a certain vampire drained Bella dry near a cliff, no one would question her being suicidal by her recent events"

"You hate Bella" she notices

"Very much" Bella is now on my shit list, even more so than before given what I found out "the wolves know why you are coming to La Push"

"Are you helping them?" She sneers

"No" shaking my head "only one of the wolves wants to protect Bella, the others are willing to look the other way if you stop killing people in La Push and here in Forks"

"Really?" She asks "they will give me Bella as long as I stop killing here"

"Probably want you to stop coming here too" I add "but yeah" holding my hand out "my name's Victory but call me Tory"

"Victoria" she introduces herself, we shake hands "just use my full name"

"I'm sorry about your mate" I give my condolences "but if you don't mind me asking, why was your mate killed?" I know Bella told me but I need to see if Victoria can confirm it.

"Bella was his blood singer"

"No offense" I say "but how?" She tilts her head "her blood smells like a sewage mixed with vomit, fecal matter, and trash"

"Really?" She asks "she smells like something really sweet and mouthwatering" we then hear something, looking over its Jacob "ugh"

"Let's talk more later Victoria" I tell her as she's runs away, Jacob tries to go after her. I turn around and head back inside, when I do I see Bella is glaring at me.

"Why the hell were you talking to Victoria?" I see the binoculars in her hands.
