The other cullen

the wolves

Part 8

Walking along the road, I hold onto my sister who is shivering uncontrollably due to the vision she saw earlier. Deciding the best course of action was the sheriff we are now walking at a decent pace down the middle of the road.
I can’t break . I can't break.
Alice needs me. Looking down at her I see the heartbreak and betrayal shone through her eyes. Her hair sticking to her face in a similar fashion to mine due to the downpour around us.  I just keep thinking, Alice needs me.
I can’t break. I can’t break.

Current day

I leave Carlisle's office fuming with the details of my new predicament.though i understand the reasons for communicating with THEM i still don't particularly like the thought of being associated with those pack of mutts.

I have always had a particular distaste for werewolves, whether it be the smell or the lack of decency they hold their standards upon. I cannot stand them. I am willing to put that aside for Carlisle this time as he is only trying to help but it will not happen again. For some reason Carlisle seems to think that both species can live together in harmony if only given the chance. Dismissing the fact that both werewolf and vampire are born to despise each other. To a vampire a werewolves way of life seems barbaric, unruly even. There is no taming them. A bunch of rabid dogs who should be put down on sight. To a werewolf a vampire is destructive, deadly. an uncontainable threat to the natural way of life. To them, we are the bringers of death, a disease that should be killed off at the source. No matter how kind either of us are, it will never be enough to stop a war from coming.

In a matter of minutes we were out the door in training gear mostly. Ready for an attack. Once me and emmett were ready we ran in the direction of the river that cuts directly in between the borders. Deciding it's a safe enough distance away from each other. I search for Carlisle and biolocate myself to tell him it's ready. He is with us in a manner of seconds. Standing slightly ahead of us he shouts out for them. Loud enough to make our ears sore but so they can hear it from a distance away.

A while later a black wolf comes out of the clearing followed by a few others who glare at us across the river. Even with the hateful looks sent towards him carlisle still manages to show his smile to them while holding his hands up.
“ i only wish to talk, it's important” with that the wolf on the left walks off and comes back in their human form.  Folding his arms as a means to intimidate us. I snicker at his failed attempt, causing him to look up at me with a glare. I stare back completely unmoving till he eventually looks down in defeat before looking at carlisle.
“What is it you want to tell us exactly?” he says in annoyance. Hatred laced his voice as he spoke.
“I only wish to warn you of a threat that is headed your way, it's a coven of three, as far as we've seen they are only passing and shouldn’t cause too much trouble on your side but that could change yet. I just want you all to be prepared is all “
The boy says “ why should we trust you ?” glaring at me and emmett who have yet to have said anything on the matter.
"Because we wish you no harm" Carlisle replies. My eye twitches at this, though I refuse to say anything as it will only make matters worse.
"Tell that to her !" The boy says, gesturing to me. I look over to see Emmett has taken a more relaxed stance , trying to put them at ease. I on the other hand am still in an aggressive stance with my face pulled into a grimace, directed towards the mutts on the opposite riverbank.
Deciding it's best to lean against the tree behind me so as not to show the distrust I feel towards their kind, I do just that. My face remains the same.

"Morrigan is just Protective is all, she won't do anything for the time being as long as you don't harm any of us in return" he says trying to reassure them were being truthful.

After a long silence Carlisle speaks up again. "We shall leave now. I can see the conversation has ended" he says and with a curt nod he turns around. I wait for Emmett to follow before finally leaving, not before glaring at the boy. I still don't know his name.
