Destiny

Chapter 49 - Plans

"Jake! This is so not fair! Why me?"

"I'm sorry Leah .It's gonna be impossible for me to monitor them while fighting ."

"So, you thought to make me a babysitter??"

He didn't reply.

"I hate the twins!" I whined and then just then the two gangly teens entered the barn house .

"I'm guessing you're talking about us ?" Brixton spoke giving me a wink and shamelessly giving me a once over .

I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him .

"You two will be assigned to Leah ." Jacob ordered them"And the three of you should be stationed near the town .Make a circuit to the treaty line and to the coast every fifteen minutes. I want the boundaries to be impenetrable !Leah- you're job to is catch any scent that's heading toward the town .Our priority to it protect the humans .And also we can't be exposed .I have to visit the Cullens and discuss the rest .I guess we might have to split for this fight .You're on your own ."With that he turned his back to us ." Behave !"he warned the twins before jogging out of sight to phase .

When he was far away from our earshot , the two faced me with similar grins on their faces ." He left us with a hottie , how lucky can we get ?"Brixton asked for which his twin gave a shrug .

I wasn't the person anyone would choose to make two vigorous and pesky teenage boys work in harmony with the rest of us but I knew why Jacob had chosen me over others. If I see fit, and make up my mind ,I could be a real bitch to keep the two to stay in the line but I didn't wanna be so. Shaking myself out of my thoughts, I focused on the brothers.

"We'll have to polish our skills!" I spoke in an earnest,steady voice  ignoring their jibber jabber "What are you good at?"

They blinked at me ,clearly clueless on where I was heading.

"Alright,how good are you in kicking your brother's asses?"I asked hoping to converse in their language to make it work.

"The best in the pack ." they answered simultaneously .I took a deep breadth to calm myself down before my temper got the better of me .

"We shall see about that soon  .Today we practice offensive and defensive strategies and we run patrols the rest of the night in the town. And if you give an ear to everything I say , you'll earn an hour more rest and trust me...that's way  more important than practicing. I fear tonight there might be more attacks.The Volturi like to keep us on the edge ."I stated in a dead pan voice.

"But what if we are caught?" Kaison  interrupted. "I mean- I'm sure we might give a heart attack for any human that catches sight of us and we would end up killing them ourselves rather than the Volturi doing the task ." he guffawed .

"It will be dark but also you'll have to be quick .No going around sneaking into homes .Jake said you do that very often ."

"No sneaking ?" Brixton asked pulling a tragic face " breaks my heart !"he thumped his chest .

I sighed feeling this might not work .They were the worst I'd ever seen.

"Faster ,Kaison ! I shouted as Brixton's tawny brown wolf lunged for his brother .

" Left ! Left !" I shrieked when Brixton pounced on him again .

And this time, Kaison avoided the blow as he drifted to left and attacked him from behind .The movement looked clumsy for a few seconds before he regained his balance and caught his brother's throat with his large jaw .I saw Kaison's teeth teasing the edge of Brixton's throat while a low grumble of defeat echoed from Brixton.
