A Twist to Twilight

Chapter 8

A few days later we still trained but there were fewer wolves. The pack shared a mind and because of that most of them didn't need to be there. I still fought Jasper the most; I lost a few times.

I even went up against my father and Esme a few times and Emmett lost spectacularly against me. I taught Rose a few moves and soon she was able to take Emmett down as well.

I started conversing with Jacob. He was curious about my lifestyle. I was mostly honest with him. I omitted some things here and there.

I could see he was in love with Bella. And Bella did not reciprocate that same love, but she was stringing both Edward and Jacob along. It was unfair to both of them. But my brother made his decision and now he has to deal with the consequences of loving Bella. Because now it's official, she finally said 'Yes' to Edward's marriage proposal and she has not told Jacob about it.

My brother still has the hope that she won't have to be changed, but he is avoiding the inevitable now.

The big fight was one day away now, and I felt confident that we could win. Bella, Edward and Jacob went to a peak of one of the mountains where a storm was currently blazing.

I was sitting with my family, eating a bowl of veggies, and drinking my own specialty coffee-a human blood bag mixed with caffeine. It tastes great. I could live on this stuff. My father wishes to study the effects of different foods mixed with different types of blood, be it human or animal. I feel stronger and more satisfied with human blood than when I drink animal blood. But I feel even weaker if I live only on human food.

Hours later my family, combined with the wolves were in the clearing, two hours before we start the battle according to Alice. We had a strategy plan worked out and the wolves would hide in the trees while we stood in the center of the clearing.

I actually ignored all of the wolves. I know what they think of my family and their behaviour is inconsiderate and rude. I want to see them go through what all of us have gone through so that they know that we did not have a choice in this.

I am itching to get this over with. I want to watch another episode of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', no matter how terrible and inaccurate the series is.

The wolves are mostly keeping to themselves.

"Please be safe daughter," my father interrupts my thoughts when he hugged me and spoke those words in Old English. "I will father. I promise. Please be safe as well" I tell him.

Esme joins us soon after, "Hi mum" I tell her. If she could cry, she would've in that moment. She hugs me to her and my father joins in, and then the rest of my siblings. I hear a gagging sound from one of the wolves. That's rude

I look up to see which wolf made that sound, I spot him, a dark silver wolf, our eyes meet for the first time. And then it happened, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't move, still stuck in my father's embrace. He was my 'one', my mate. I couldn't stop staring. No! shit!This can't be happening. Not him! Not one of them, I think.

The silver wolf howls, he freaks out along with the rest of the pack. My family isn't sure what happened. "Althea?!" my father calls my name, worry in his tone of voice.

"Father, this can't be happening. He is my 'One'. My mate. My heart, it hurts" I say painfully, feeling the rejection.

Paul POV

We were fighting the new-borns today. I can't wait to finally kill some blood suckers.

We have been training for this day for a while now and I can't wait to just start the fight. These yellow eyed blood suckers still smell awful, except that one who ate human food, it didn't smell that bad, but she still has a vampire scent to her, but not that strong.
