Taint Me with Blood (Alec Volturi)

Chapter 6 - Taint Me with Blood

Chapter 6

Paul and I didn't find anything yesterday so we decided to call it a night and search the next day, which was obviously today. I slept inside Paul's house, which was supposed to be his and Rachel's house. I slept on the bed whilst he slept on the sofa in the living room. Who was I kidding? I was a vampire. I didn't need to sleep. I just stared at the ceiling all throughout the night.

"Ready for the next adventure?" I asked him as I went downstairs and saw him eating.

"Do you need some blood?" he asked me.

"I'm kind of thirsty," I admitted and looked at him, playing with him a little.

"Hey! I'm not food!" he yelled.

"Just kidding, Paul," I rolled my eyes. "You're not a criminal," I knew that even with this playfulness, he was still miserable for his lost. Looking at him, I was feeling quite miserable too. I didn't know why I was this attached to Paul. I would really, really, really liked him as a brother.

Well, if that was even possible.

A vampire and a werewolf as siblings?

Impossible.

But wait, Brynn and Seth were a couple. Maybe it was possible for me to have a sibling after all. If I could stay here then maybe it was possible...or if Paul wanted me to stay.

My mind wandered about yesterday.

Was Alec looking for me?

Was someone looking for me?

Not a single body. I was very sure about that.

"Be back in half an hour, Paul," I told him and went to find some robbers or prostitutes who lived alone somewhere.

"I hear thoughts," I told Paul whilst still in his human form. "I smell a lot of them,"

"Full of vampires," he whispered to me. "This is suicide. I need to call the other werewolves,"

"There are more than a hundred of them, Paul," I whispered back. We were in the forest and was looking for a vampire and we didn't stumble upon one, a hundred and one was more likely. "You would kill your friends, or not friends,"

When we sneaked in a little further, I heard Seth's thoughts and another werewolf's thoughts. "That's Jacob Black, Rachel's brother,"

"I know,"

"It looks like Jacob still doesn't know about his sister's murder and you should stop with that mind reading thing," he told me. "I don't even know why I'm talking to you when you can just read my thoughts,"

"Because it would be funny for me to talk all by myself when I'm reading a person's mind,"

"Is that the new Cullen?" he nudged at the girl with the two werewolves. "Brynn Cullen?"

"Yeah," I said. "And the leader thinks that she's human,"

"One of them killed Rachel," he pointed out.

"But it's not the leader," I could use my ability to read all their minds at one time but it would make me crazy for a minute. And I didn't want that feeling. "Could be one of them,"

"I will let you witness the army that I created, fragile human," the leader told Brynn. Everybody looked at Brynn like she was some sort of food, and she didn't really notice that. "These are the nomads that I have gathered and I will recruit more to take down the Volturi,"
