Chapter 16

                         It's already late in the afternoon and no James, and now the two friends are playing mortal combat on the flirt floor. Isla convinced Emmett to hook up the game system, and she's winning. Emmett is wide eyed and he yelps when Isla's phone rings and he tries finding a way to defeat Isla.
                    "Hey, Jas," Isla Greer's as she kills Emmett's man again. "Yes! In your face, Emmett!" She boasts.
                     Jasper quirks an eyebrow in amusement as Alice grins. "What are you two doing?"
                      "No!" Emmett booms as he dies again. "This isn't fair. You're cheating! You read my thoughts and know what I'm going to do."
                    "Actually, I'm not, you're just a sore loser," she winks. "Sorry, Jas. I'm kicking Emmett's butt at mortal combat. Any luck?" Emmett kills her. "There ya go!"
                     "We're in Arizona," Jasper replies. "Phoenix. Alice and I got a motel room for now. Bella isn't eating."
                        "Put Bella on the phone," Isla demands, Jasper sighs and he goes to Bella.
                           "Isla wants to talk to you... and fair warning, she's gaming with Emmett so there will be random yelling," Jasper warns.
                       "He..."
                        "No!" Emmett exclaims. "Dude, really?!"
                         "Isla?" Bella asks, trying not to laugh.
                           "Bella, you need to eat," Isla says and beats Emmett again. "In your face!"
                           "They could be hurt," Bella insists. "It's not worth it."
                            "Yes, it is," Jasper and Isla day in unison.
                             "Edward has changed since he found you," Jasper says in the background as Isla listens and plays. "Like I did with Isla. And none of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you. It's worth it." He grabs the phone. "Hey, darlin'." He sees Alice in a vision. "What do you see?" He asks and Emmett pauses the game to listen.
                            "The tracker," Alice says in worry and Emmett stands up. "He just changed course."
                          "Emmett, get Isla to the pack and get her!" Jasper demands and hangs up. 
                        "Pack?"
                          "Go get something clothes, now," Emmett demands. "And give me your phone." Emmett goes to Paul's contact when Isla goes upstairs and he calls.
                      "Ise?"
                       "It's Emmett," Emmett says. "We need the pack's help."
                      Paul sits up straight and Sam watches him. "What's going on?"
                  "It's a long story but I'll shorten it because Isla is packing," Emmett says. "There was a tracker vamoire and he had this... thing for Isla and he's after Bella and he changed his course. The coven needs me and I have to...."
                      "Sam's headed to the boarder," Paul curd him off as Sam rushes out the door. "We have to tell her about us, Emmett. Will she handle it well?"
                      "If she could handle us, she'll be fine," Emmett muses. "She's stubborn as hell."
                     Paul snorts. "You got that right. Tell the one she's with we'll keep her safe. No leech will hurt her."
                     "Yeah," he hangs up. "Isla! Come on! Sam's meeting us at the treaty line!"
                       Isla comes downstairs with a gun back and Emmett picks her up, and he hurries through the woods. He stops when he sees Sam's wolf. Isla looks at the wolf and furrows her eyebrows. Isla, it's Sam. Isla's eyes widen in amazement and she looks to her side, Emmett's already gone. She shrugs and cross the river. Sam lowers to the ground so that Isla can climb on and he runs off to his house.
                        Sam leaves the trees in some cut off shorts after phasing back and he smiles at Isla. "Welcome back. Though I wish it were under different circumstances."
                       "As do I," Isla replies. "Thst was amazing! You're a wolf!?"
                      Sam nods. "Come on in, we'll explain everything."
                       Isla walks in and she sits beside her cousin on the loveseat. "Can this doofus become a large wolf, too?"
                       "Isla Sofia, shut up," Paul grunts. "And yes, I can become a wolf, too."
                         Isla looks at Sam and she grins. "You have to tell me more."
                          Sam does just that. He tells her about the pack, how he's the alpha. Jared is beta and Paul's omega. Isla was surprised to hear Paul had such a high role. Which made Paul roll his eyes. Sam explains their body heat and patrols, and phasing. He explains imprinting and the treaty. Isla watches him with amazed eyes as she listens to every single word. Paul is so glad she's taking it well, he's also relieved Emmett called them for help instead of taking it all on themselves. He's glad Emmett remembered that the pack is Isla's family.
                            "What made Emmett go on to help?" Sam asks curiously when he finishes explaining things.
                              "Jasper called with an update and while on the phone Alice had a vision that the tracker changed course," Isla replies. "They needed a blood and fight thirsty Emmett. When it comes to fighting off the bad vampires, Emmett turned beast mode."
                                   "How'd you meet this tracker?" Jared asks from the arm chair he's sitting in.
                        "The Cullens were playing baseball and invited me; and I am a sucker for the sport," Isla begins. "The game was going perfectly. Thst was until Alice had a vision and I happened to see it with Eddie. Three human feeders came. James, Victoria, and Laurent. James is the tracker. He was..." she pauses. "Infatuated with me. I don't get it, maybe it was because I'm a human telepath."
                        "Laurent asked to join the game and we accepted. It was still going good accept for James' constant flirting. James hit the ball amd the wind of it blew Bella's hair and her scent hit James and well, then that's when things got crazy. Jasper and Alice brought Bella elsewhere and Edward is some where wirh Carlisle amd now Emmett. Rosalie and Esme are trying to lead James away. I'm guessing he figured it out and changed course. Jasper made Emmett bring me here and to get up there to help."
                           "At least they were smart enough not to drag you along and risk you getting hurt," Sam says in his deep voice. "You're safe here. If James or the other two come, they work get by us to touch you."
                          "Thanks," Isla says.
                            "Isla," Emily coos from the kitchen doorway, "I made muffins. Want one before the boys devour them?"
                             Isla gets up and she joins Emily in the kitchen for some muffins, and they talk boys, vampires, and wolves.
