Dark Waters (Twilight Fan-Fic)

Chapter 1

Third POV

Simon ran through the forest, his feet lightly thudding against the ground. If a human spotted him, they would've assumed a flash of light as he crossed their view. His golden eyes darted around his surroundings, taking in the details of each tree that came up ahead to every stone that littered the forest floor. He knew he was fairly close to a old friend's house, he could smell his friend and their coven all in this forest but something tackled him down. His body hit the ground with a loud thud, his eyes suddenly took a view of a huge wolf like creature above him. The wolf was definitely a bright russet color and his canines were huge, Simon did feel fear for a second until he himself began to use his gift.

Simon let his stone like skin 'ripple' with black spurts of fur and jump on to the attacker, his growls and snarls erupted throughout his chest as he quickly took his moment to do his damage on his now shocked foe.

"Simon!" Carlisle yelled, his calm soft voice stopped the growls and snarls that filled the air. Simon quickly turned his head, seeing his friend in the clearing with him. Simon quickly got off the stunned attacker and shifted back to his normal self, he shot Carlisle a sheepish smile. The russet wolf took this moment to 'cower' away in a cover of trees, in a few minutes, a darkly tanned being stepped out. His black hair was chopped short and his eyes were brown and beady, his face was turned in disgust at Simon.

"I didn't know you had a guard dog, you should've send me a warning." Simon spoke with a toothy grin towards Carlisle, Carlisle shook his head and quickly responded.

"That's Jacob, he's a wolf shifter." Carlisle explained, Simon raised his eyebrow before turning to the man. "Similar to your gift but only able to shift into one animal."

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked, his eyebrows scrunched together, his forehead wrinkled as his beady eyes kept locked onto Simon. His fist was clenched side to side, his body wasn't shaking but it wouldn't be too long before he spurted out again.

"I am a vampire, some of us have gifts just like Edward and Alice." Simon started off, Jacob gave him a look and Simon stopped. "I'm guessing you heard this before?"

"Yes" Jacob replied shortly

"My gift is to shapeshift into animals." Simon explained "Any animal that I have seen...now since I've seen your size of a wolf, I can transform into a similar size and build."

Jacob's eyes widened as he took in this information.

"A repetitive thing I've seen in Simon's gift is that any animal he morphs into is always black pelted, black feathered or even black scaled." Carlisle piped in, his golden eyes looking at Jacob before returning to his friend. "I expected you sooner, I was disappointed that we couldn't catch you to be a witness."

"I apologize Carlisle. I was tracking a certain creature up North in Canada." Simon explained with a sheepish smile "you know how I am, I love to see any and all beasts that I can 'collect'"

Carlisle nodded knowingly at his friend in front of him before turning to the east of the opening, he glanced behind him at the two men.

"I would love to introduce you to two of our newest family members" Carlisle spoke, his voice was soft like always but oozed with proudness. Jacob didn't like that idea at all.

"No, I don't think we should introduce him to Nessie." Jacob spoke, his jaw clenched as the words quickly flew out. Simon looked over to the shaking individual back to Carlisle with a raised brow.

"Nonsense. Simon is practically family, if he is trouble then Edward and Alice could sense it." Carlisle explained with a chuckle before swiftly disappearing, Simon took that as a sign to follow and ran. Leaving a angry stricken Jacob behind.
