Heart of Stone

Eighteen

Screaming, we hear screaming as Tory and I speak to the elders and Jared and the wolves, all of the wolves wish to be here as a Jacob gets his bones set by Carlisle Cullen. "So" Jared speaks "what did you want to talk about"

"Other than Jacob getting what he deserves" the wolves look at Paul "don't judge, Jacob has been asking for an ass kicking since he shifted"

"We" Tory speaks "are here to discuss Victoria, the Cullens and Bella Swan. Let us discuss Victoria first" Sam comes downstairs with Carlisle.

"I've set his bones" Carlisle speaks "I'll be back later to set an IV drip" when he goes to leave he stops.

"Don't go" Tory growls "leave this house before I say so and I'm going to make sure that you watch as I torture your mate before you while you are too helpless to do anything" Carlisle comes over and stands silently.

Someone whistles "damn, someone remind me not to piss her off"

"Pretty sure Jacob's got that down" someone else whispers

"Now" Sam speaks "you wished to discuss Victoria?"

"She is creating a newborn army" Tory informs them

"Newborns?" One of the wolves snort "like she's getting a bunch of babies and"

"There immoral children" I speak "which are a crime to create, now newborn vampires are vampires who are in the first few months of their new life"

"He is correct" Carlisle speaks

"Did I say you can speak?" Tory demands, her teeth appear causing some of the wolves to back away and hold onto each other in fear "no, now shut up and just stand there until you are ordered to speak!" He flinches from her voice.

"Tory" Old Quil asked "not to risk being killed, but why do you seem more...hostile than before?"

"I'm in my heat" she answers, her skin has been glowing lately "so I'm more hostile and bloodthirsty than normal" her teeth going back to looking human "now, unless the army is coming to Forks or La Push stay out of it"

"Alright" Billy nods his head

"Now regarding the Cullens" I speak "you are to leave them be, any problems they come to ask you to help with you are to not" they nod their heads.

"Now Bella" Tory makes it clear "before her next birthday she is to be turned, if she isn't she dies. No other way"

"No!" That boy Jacob screams "they can't!"

"I will go up their and rip off his arm" Tory growls

"Does she have to be turned?" Billy asked

"The vampire government" I make it clear "know of her existence" then I glare at Carlisle Cullen who looks down "the Cullens have committed many serious crimes that now they should be killed but not"

"Now" Tory claps her hands "any questions?"

"I do" one of the wolves asks "when were you turned?"

"During the Roman Empire before it's fall, I was a gladiator" I say

"Really?" He asks, I nod my head "by any chance can we schedule a time and you can help with with this history project?"

"Seth!" Sue scolds while the others snicker

"Sorry mom" ah, his mother "but what better way can I do my report but to ask someone who literally lives in that era" he waves to me "I have so many questions" looking at me "can you help me?"

"Sure" nodding my head and the boy fist pumps into the air.

"Cool, can we meet her around three?" I nod my head.

"I have a question" that female shifter Leah asks "can you just let Bella die? I mean first torture her and"

"Leah!" Her mother scolds "Bella"

"Deserves way worse than a peaceful death or being turned into a vampire" Leah growls "she is the reason many people, one who is dad is dead. I want her to pay"

Tory smiles at her "I have a feeling you and I are going to be great friends"
