The Huntress of Forks

Chapter 1- The Huntress

Legend told of a strong female warrior capable of fighting shifters and vampires alike. Known as the huntress, this female warrior has only graced the Earth once every 500 years. Coming from a known Romanian and Greek background and supposedly kin to Artemis herself, this is the story of the latest huntress. The least likely to be suspected with her bubbly personality and choice of wardrobe, skirts, sweater vests and high heels. Hope Luna Swan, the eldest Swan child, half sister to Isabella Marie Swan, and known fashionista and diva. With a reputation of being untouchable but nice, feared but respected, and loved by all who knew her, of course it would throw everyone off when the Tribe Elders realize that she is the newest huntress, and everyone is even more shocked that she's one of the two recorded Gifted Huntresses, with supernatural abilities to live longer than average and stand a better chance against her prey. But what throws everyone off even more is when she is discovered as being the Alpha's Imprint.

Billy Black and Henry Clearwater watched as Hope Swan trained with Paul Lahote. The oldest Swan child moving quickly and with power. Her brunette hair in a braid as she moved. Her ring daggers out. Paul Lahote, in his wolf form, jumped at the brunette and she rolled under him, easing an electrified baton and connecting with his underbelly. The wolf yipped, which turned into a yell. The female smirking as she closed her baton and looked at her friend. "I think that's 5 to 0.", Paul rolled his eyes and Hope smiled. "You're getting better, Hope.", she looked at Henry and Billy, "Thanks! I've been working really hard to be able to protect myself.", they nodded at her before the three shared a look. It was shortly after Billy found out Bella was hanging out with the Cullens that Billy got Paul to approach Hope. The two quickly becoming friends and their training sessions slowly turning the Swan girl into the Huntress. Her phone went off, "Shit. I gotta go, Dad needs me home.", they nodded at her and the brunette ran off, getting into her blue 2001 Chevy Tracker. Paul shook his head and laughed at the brunette before he heard a howl and returned to Sam Uley's house.

The last time someone had called Hope in a panic, she had only been training for 3 months and her sister didn't want to run to Phoenix from James without her. Of course, none of the Cullens knew Hope was capable of protecting herself and Bella, but that's how she wanted it. With help from Sue and Billy, and Paul, she was an enigma to the vampires. Edward just thought that like Bella, he couldn't read her mind, and Alice just thought that her mental block was stronger than Bella's. If only they knew it was herbs and blessings of the elders. She remembered that night in Phoenix like it was just yesterday and not over 7 months ago.

James, the nomad tracker with red eyes, was stalking and taunting Bella. The younger Swan thought she had gotten away from the Hotel room alone. She hadn't. Hope was there. Hope had her bow in her hands and she slowed her breathing as she grabbed an arrow with a yellow tip. Remembering what Billy had told her. She needed to incapacitate first before doing the kill shot. She peeked from her spot on the balcony of the studio and released her arrow. Striking the vampire in the back with a sickening screech. The arrowheads were made out of wolf teeth, the only thing strong enough to penetrate the marble like skin of the cold ones. Hope quickly moved around, her arms quickly reloading her bow as she relocated so James couldn't pinpoint her. "So you aren't alone. Who is with you?", James tried to smell for his attacker, but he couldn't catch a scent nor could he hear her heartbeat. Which was odd, and something no one else would notice for awhile. "I don't know.", and Bella didn't know. Because no one knew that Hope was a huntress. The phrase taught to Hope that she spoke in Romanian, the language of her ancestors, Bella and Hope were half sisters. Her mission as a huntress was simply, "We hunt those who hunt us.", in Romanian it sounded cooler, "Îi vânăm pe cei care ne vânează.", at least to Hope it did. James looked around but by the time he thought he had found Hope, she was on the other side of the room. She raised her bow and pushed a button on her bow, electric shock waves slamming through James as he hadn't removed the bolt. Bella had wide eyes as another arrow flew through the air, this one with a red tip, and struck James in his spine. James threw Bella in rage, "Why can't I find this archer?", Bella was bleeding, a lot and Hope held in her gasp. She took a deep breath and moved the button to her hand and pulled out her wolftooth daggers, jumping from the balcony and landing with a roll in front of Bella. Bella's eyes wide at her sister. Hope was wearing a fitted all black outfit with combat boots, a stark contrast to her usual attire of pastels sweaters, white skirts or shorts, and heels. Her hair that was usually in a high pony tail or in space buns, was now in a braid. A bow swung across her back with a quiver filled with arrows, and the twin wolftooth daggers in her hands. "I am no Archer. I am a Huntress.", she looked up at the vampire and her eyes flashed a violet color. The two began fighting and Edward rushed in to see Bella hurt, James on the ground with a cracked jaw and missing an arm, and Hope wearing a smirk. She tilted her head as James rushed forward, throwing her into the wall but she moved quickly and just used the wall as a pressure plate to launch back into James, her daggers digging into his shoulders. Using her momentum, she threw James, ripping her blades from his back and slammed him into the wall. The other Cullens arrived with wide eyes as they watched the innocent Hope Swan destroy the tracker. Her melodic voice filled the air as she pushed the button in her hand and James erupted into flames, "Bucură-te de iad, tracker.", she smirked as he burned before her senses picked up on Bella fading quickly. "Here!", she rushed to her sister's side, ripping the thigh holster from her body and using it as a tourniquet, she grabbed some gauge from her pocket and looked at the wounds. "She needs the hospital or she will die. Carlisle and Esme, you must take her. You have the most control.", they nodded as the Cullens looked at the brunette and she stood, "Jasper and Emmett, I need help. Too much has been destroyed. Leaving this place standing will lead to suspension. We have to either repair it all, or burn it to the ground.", Hope looked around the area and decided that a fire would be the best source of destruction and made her way to the electrical panel. "Alice, Rosalie, she will need clothes.", the two females took that as their dismissal and Edward looked at the eldest Swan, "You have to call my father. Tell him she fell out of a window. It sounds ridiculous but Bella is so embarrassingly clumsy that he will believe it.", he nodded before the three Cullen boys looked at her. "Why were you here?", she glanced at them. "She is my sister. I will always save her.", and she went to work on messing with the wiring as discreetly as possible and making it seem like an accidental electric fault fire that burned the building. "Since when you were badass?", she glanced at Emmett, "Since my sister decided it was smart to associate with the undead.", she flashed a smile and the trio left the dance studio that was slowly being engulfed in flames and made their way to the hospital, where Hope quickly hid her arsenal in her truck and changed into a pale blue, grey, and white plaid pleated skirt with a white button up under a pale blue sweater vest tucked in, and a pair of grey Mary jane heeled shoes, putting her hair into a wavy high ponytail. She flashed a smile before she ran inside, tears filling her eyes as she quickly acted concerned and confused over her sister's current physical status.
