[Authors Note: This is a rough draft please do enjoy]
Matt POV
Well, everything between Leah and Tyler was good also Kate and Irina were thinking about staying here with Cullens as both liked Forks and wanted to live here as they wanted the Denali coven to move here to Forks.
I was invited to Bonfire at Quileute reserve to hear the story about Taha aki it seems Leah had invited to the Tyler while normally vampires are not invited they made an exception for both Rosalie and me. While I parked my car at the end of the Quileute reserve I saw a shirtless Jacob leaning against his red Volkswagen seemed as if he was waiting I could only guess it must have been Bella since he invited her the poor guy was not taking the hints also I told billy about this he told if I could ask Bella to talk some sense into his son.I got out to see Sam and Embry smiled and came towards me while sam gave hug and said “I thought you would not come.”I shook my head and replied, “You invited me to bonfire personally I could I not come.”
We were both talking Edward came with Bella both of them emerged out of the car I noticed Edward and Jacob were having a staredown soon Edward who looked at Jacob with slight irritation questioned.”Doesn’t he own a shirt?”I snickered hearing that as I looked at Sam and asked “Is Jacob really showing off his body in front of Bella.”Sam scoffed and replied “After you told us we look like strippers I started using nanotech clothes you created which is much better than just pants.All most all the pack wear a shirt when we are in public except for Jacob who seems to remove his shirt when he hears Bella is coming.”I had given Sam the nanotech clothes which are still in the testing phase and Sam had become the 3rd one to own one besides me and Rosalie. Unlike mine or Rosalie’s nanotech clothes Sam’s was different because of how fast he shifts into a wolf and back the nanotech needed to be as fast which is why it is still in the testing phase.
We soon reached Billy’s house a group is gathered around the fire, eating hot dogs, laughing. Billy sits at the natural head of the circle. Old Quil, Quil’s ancient grandfather sits on one side of him, Sue Clearwater who had become a member of the council after Harry Clearwater’s death sat on the other side. The whole pack was there; Paul, Quil, Embry, Jared, and Sam, with Emily at his side. Leah was smiling next to Tyler who was enjoying time with his girlfriend.
Jacob was leading Bella toward the bonfire as Bella who was feeling uncomfortable questioned”Jacob are You sure this is okay? I really hate being a party crasher.”Jacob smiled replied”Technically, you’re a Council Meeting crasher. See. The Council leaders, Dad, Quil’s grandpa, and Sue Clearwater. She took over for Harry when he died. ”
Jacob tried to be funny but this only made Bella more conscious replied, “Okay, I should definitely not be here.”
Jacob smiled and ȧssured her”You’re okay. I thought… I mean your brother and his girlfriend, they thought it would be good for you to hear the histories.”
Bella curiously asked “The histories? The tribe’s histories? Aren’t they secret?” Jacob replied” We all got a role to play. And you’re a part of this. I mean, it’s the first time Seth, Leah, and Quil are hearing them, too. But you are the first outsider. Ever.”
I was with Rosalie. Leah and Tyler as I turned to Leah and questioned “Did he forget we are also outsiders and Rosalie is the first vampire.”Leah ġrȯȧnėd and said “Just ignore him, he is being an idiot.”Rosalie smiled and kissed me on the cheek while whispering”Yeah just forget about him.”
Bella was tried to make excuses to go back home since Jacob made her feel uneasy and Billy told her to stay and he had something to tell after the meeting saying he had to tell her something.
Seth interrupted by a gangly-limbed boy who was 15 who was like a puppy. as he said”Hey. It’s about time, you got here. Paul’s been hoovering the grub. But, I saved you some burgers. Leah smiled and introduced him” Bella, this is Seth Clearwater,he is my brother. The newest member of the pack. Seth smirked and said” Newest, bestest, brightest.”
Leah cut it” And the slowest.”She smacked Seth on the back of his and said, “Don’t get big head like Jacob.”
Seth laughed at that while Tyler and Seth were laughing and discussing football also Seth seems to really like Tyler. A whistle comes from the circle. It’s Sam. Seth jumps up and said, “Come on your dad is about to start.”
We soon were sitting around the bonfire as Seth dragged us to the bonfire as we sat down with Rosalie held my hand and set head on my shoulder as Billy started his story” The Quileutes have been a small tribe from the beginning…But we’ve always had magic in our blood. We were great spirit warriors… Shapeshifters, that transform into the powerful wolf. This enabled us to scare off our enemies and protect our tribe. But one day our warriors came across a being… “I was getting visual images from Bella’s imagination Two Quileute warriors emerged from the trees, horrified to find a male vampire wearing the clothing of a mid-1700s Spaniard bent over two lifeless tribe girls. His eyes are blood red, feral. A terrifying image if you think about it.
Billy continued” It looked like a man, but it was hard like stone, and cold as ice… Our warriors’ sharp teeth, finally tore it apart… But the only fire would completely destroy it. They lived in fear, the Cold Man was not alone. And they were right.”I was impressed by Bella’s imagination A beautiful vampiress in a tattered 1700’s Spanish gown, moves through the Quileute village of longhouses and teepees. A trail of bodies, tribes-people screaming.
Billy who was looking at fires said” She took her vengeance out on the village. Our elder chief, Taha Aki, was the only spirit warrior left to save the tribe after his son was killed. The Third Wife was no magical being, no special powers, but one… Courage.The Third Wife’s sacrifice distracted the Cold Woman, long enough for Taha Aki to destroy her. She saved the tribe. Over time, our enemies have disappeared. But one remains… The Cold Ones but some of them have now become our allies.”Billy looked at Rosalie and me while saying the last part while Rosalie who heard the story whispered, “Now I understand why they hated us so much. They had come in contact with our kind before they met Carlisle.”
Billy then turned serious as she said “Our magic awakens when cold ones who drink blood are near us. And we sense it now, we feel the threat in our blood. Something terrible is coming. And we must all be ready. All of us.”
