Huntress (Carlisle Cullen)

Chapter Seven

I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it's a verb.

I feel my body shimmer in the woods. I walked further in, my eyes darting around making sure not to be found to early. As I came closer to the area, I wanted I stepped out into the darkness with the moonlight casting down onto my snow-white skin.

"Come, come my dear shifters!" I called out. I hear the thundering feet of the shifters approach where I stood. I turned as four wolves now stood in front of me. "Hello boys," I smirked my purple eyes watching their every move. "I don't mean any harm, so back off," I growled to the silver wolf that was ready to pounce, Sam saw and snapped at him stopping him from attacking. "This is going to be very hard if you don't become a human... Samuel." I stated with a smirk.

I watched as the black wolf looked to me in shock. Sam looked to his comrades and then turned to me growling. "Oh come on, do I smell like a vampire?" I asked in annoyance. "If you don't shift, I can easily make you shift back," I growled, my eyes glowing brighter in anger. Sam stepped back and walked behind a tree before coming out again, but as a human.

"What do you want?" Sam asked as he motioned the others back a bit.

"I just want to let you guys know, that I'm not very happy," I stated tilting my head left and right. "You've been spotted by humans, and they are talking about you throughout Forks," I stated folding my arms in front of my chest. "I want use to be careful, or else Chief Swann is going to be out hunting you guys," I said shaking my head.

"Why do you care?" Sam asked looking to me startled.

"Because, the Supernatural, is a secret, and it needs to remain a secret," I stated. "Humans are not ready to know about us, and I really don't need your deaths on my hand when I can keep you all safe," I stated, Sam stared as me in shock.

"Your, protecting us," Sam said.

"Yes I'm not in the mood to be in any war's, I've lived for a thousand years, and been through many wars," I stated. "I don't particularly want to go through another human and supernatural war," I answered, shrugging my shoulders. "I'm quite happy where I am, I love this town and I love the people," I stated. "Forks is my home, if you need me to sign some treaty then you'll have to call me back another time, as I am very busy, like you are," I said with a pep in my step. "Also that red headed bitch is getting on my nerves," I growled.

"She's been trespassing in our area; do you know why?" Sam asked me.

"Yes, she's after someone, she's after Isabella Swann," I growl. "Isabella has been hanging around with you future new wolf, Jacob Black," I said. Sam nods before he turns around. "Guessing Jacob is shifting," I smirk. "Well I wish him well, but I warn you Sam, if Isabella becomes depressed again, I'll kill anything that hurts her," I growled, and with a blink I was gone.

By the morning I was over at Bebe's, both of us were working on our homework with Charlie watching a game not to far away. I see Bebe is tense and she's anxious as she pulls her phone out again and calls Jacob. "Hey Jake. Just checking to see how you're doing. And to say I'm sorry, about, you know... how I feel and... hope the flu passes fast. Call me." She finishes and looks down sadly.

The next day Bebe parks next to my Jeep and she climbs out seeing the spot Edward used to park in. I look around and see many couples hugging or kissing, like Eric and Angela canoodling. Couples were everywhere. We look to each other and we both put our heads down and hurry inside.

Another day and I watch Bebe on the phone, leaving yet another message, her desperation having reached its peak. In the living room, Charlie and Harry check their fishing gear. "Jacob. Please. Call me." She whispers, and she hangs up, leans her forehead against the phone.

"Harry and I will be back by three..." Charlie said as he walked in but stopped when he saw the look on both our faces. "It's mono, Bells." Charlie said trying to get through him.

"He's too sick to even call?" Bebe questions.

"You just gotta wait it out." Charlie stated, but then looks back. "You know, I don't have to go fishing..." He starts but I shake my head.

"No, go. Both of us will probably do something together so go have fun," I said walking over and hugging Bebe.

"Good. But stay here. No hikes or anything. We're issuing a warning about those bears." Charlie says and Bebe and I nod agreeing with him. As Charlie leaves, I look to Bebe and raise my eyebrow at the girl. 

"I'm assuming we aren't going to be listening to Charlie?" I ask and Bebe sends me an innocent smile. "Fine I'll get my crossbow, head to my Jeep, it's better for this sort of terrain." I shook my head as Bebe nods and runs out and hops into my Jeep waiting for me. As I grab my crossbow, I send a quick text to Nik, saying I'm still okay and I'm still talking with Carlisle and the family. I walk out of my home and lock the door, I walk over to my Jeep and jump in. I start the car and reverse out of my driveway. "Are you sure you want to do this?" I ask, and Bebe nods firmly, and I nod back and drive onwards.
