Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Sins Of The Past

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 11:

Bella POV

“Who was that? On the phone? Who are these people? They give you money, don’t they? Why? What do you do for them? Is it the Cullen’s? Are you still involved with them?”

I was reeling from what Master Aro just told me. I had come home a few hours ago and found Dani high as hell. Apparently she did not stick to our agreement of no drugs. She even found mine. That girl can find drugs like Demetri can find… everybody.

I spent the last two hours telling her everything leading up to and including my rape. She would keep quiet. I would make sure she understood nobody would believe a pot head teenager spouting nonsense anyway.

Unfortunately as I finished my story Master Aro called and just dropped that nugget on me.

Billy fucking Black.

He was a wolf.

The first wolf.

He stayed out of it and let Sam believe he was the Alpha.

He fucking raped me on the ground.

He fucking raped me.

That motherfucker raped me.

He laughed in my ear while I bled on the ground.

He fucking marked me. As his? Or the Pack? Didn’t fucking matter.

He shot my Dad?

Sue tried to kill Charlie.

She tried to kill Charlie tonight. Because he was getting better? Why the hurry?

“Who was that?!”

“Shut the fuck up!” I screamed at Dani.

I started pacing.

“What did you find out just now? What is wrong with you? You look crazy.” Dani observed. I didn’t doubt her.

“Don’t worry about it. You wanted the truth, I told you the truth. I… I have to go. Stay inside.”

I know I told Master Aro I would stay inside. But I had to… I knew where he lived. I knew where he fucking lived. After 16 years I knew who and… and I knew where he fucking lived.

I walked to the hall closet and pulled out Charlie’s 12 gauge shotgun. I reloaded the clip in my handgun. I wouldn’t kill him yet. But if he was a wolf… I could blow his fucking legs off. I could blow his fucking legs off at the knees and drag him out of La Push by his fucking hair. If he phased I would shoot his eyes out.

That motherfucker…

Dani grabbed my gun.

“Put that away! What the hell is going on? Sit down!”

“Let go of my gun Dani.”

“Why? Where are you going?”

“I have business to take care of.” I told her honestly.

“You know don’t you? Tell me!”

“Billy Black! Billy fucking Black!”

That shut her up. For a second.

“The man in the wheelchair?”

“Yes. The man who can walk just fine who hides in a fucking wheelchair! I have to go!”

“No! Stay! Please!”

“That motherfucker ruined my life. There is no way I am staying here. Stay inside, keep the doors locked and the lights off. You will be fine.”

“Ruined your life? It seems to me your life was ruined long before he came around.” She told me as I walked towards the door. That stopped me. I turned and looked at her.

“My life…”

“Why did you have me? Why didn’t you just have an abortion? I would have been better off! You hate me. I can see it in your eyes. You are going to see him every time you look at me aren’t you? You should have given me up. Let me never be born.”

“I’ve given you the best of everything. I’ve given you everything!” I screamed.

“How? Who is giving you money? I know you still have secrets! Who found out about Billy Black? Why is there a blond haired teenager watching me all the time? What the fuck is that smell? It’s vampires isn’t it? Vampires have been all over the place. I’m going to turn into a fucking wolf! You know it right? That’s why you want me to leave? It is. Is it too late? What happens…”

“You wanted to come to this place. I told you no and you did it anyway. You are the only good thing to come out of this and I am trying to keep you safe.”

My phone buzzed. Fuck.

“Hello?”

“You are staying inside. We will take care of this. If he can walk he can phase.” He said as a way of greeting.

“Hi Demetri. Look keep an eye on the prisoners. I don’t know how desperate things are going to get…”

“Bella, Felix and I are at the Mansion preparing to assist Master Aro if he so needs it. The tubby one and the skinny man are at the station.”

Oh fuck. If he tried to kill Charlie who knows what he would do.

“Demetri you need to get to the station. You and Felix. I have a bad feeling. He may be gathering his wolves.”

“We will go at once. Stay inside. I’m serious Bella.” He hung up the phone. Good. I wouldn’t have to lie to him.

“Who was that? Demetri? A vampire right? That sounds like a vampire name. Are you fucking him? Oh my God. That Euro trash girl at school. Pale, fucked up eyes. Her smell. She winked at you. Your fucking her aren’t you? How old is she? She’s my age. What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you some sort of vampire whore?”

I turned and slapped her before I could stop myself. She stumbled back into the wall.

I… I’m so sorry Dani…”

Dani hit me in the side of the head, knocking me against the opposite wall. The blow was hard. Too hard for a 16 year old girl. I guess I deserved it.

“You are working with vampires. No you are working for vampires. They have paid for my life haven’t they?”

“Dani, we can talk about this later. I have business to take care of now.”

“No you have a fucking murder to plan.”

“Don’t judge me.” I told her sharply.

“You should have never given birth to me.”

“Really? Your life is so fucking horrible you would rather you had never been born? That I had an abortion?”

“My soul would have been born to someone normal and I wouldn’t be cursed!”

“Your soul?!” I said disbelieving.

“Yes my soul!”

“You’ve never read anything deeper than Vogue and you want to talk about souls? I don’t have a fucking soul! It’s not a big loss. Souls are fucking overrated!”

“Fuck this. Go kill the world if it will help you sleep at night. You may think it will solve everything but you are still going to have those scars and you are still going to see him every time you look at me.”

Dani walked outside. I followed.

“Where the hell do you think you are going?”

“New York. I may have to hitchhike there but I don’t give a fuck. I’ll blow every truck driver for fifty states to get there. I am not staying here one more second!”

I was about to grab her but she was moving fast. We both stopped when I heard the engine rev.

A car just started and was heading towards us. It was close. Dani was staring at the car. It kept moving. The windows were down.

“Dani get down! Now!”

Dani for once in her life did as she was told. She hit the ground. I pulled my gun as the car pulled within thirty feet of me. I saw the barrel. I saw the fire from the blast. Twice. Shot gun. I think my shirt shredded on my right side. My left leg felt weird. The car tires squealed and it accelerated away. Fuck that.

I ran into the street and fired through the back window. I suppose I hit the driver because the car swerved into a tree. I ran towards it, gun in front. I was limping for some reason but I wouldn’t trip. Not tonight.

The passenger door opened and… fuck. One of the twins stepped out. He didn’t have the shotgun and his face was covered in blood. I suppose he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

He reached out to me for help.

I shot him in the chest. Three times. A fourth shot went into his forehead and blew the top of his fucking skull off. Jerking his body out of the way I looked into the cabin. The other twin was slumped over the steering wheel. My shot had hit him in the throat. His hand was covering the wound but not stopping the flow of blood seeping out underneath his hand. I moved into the passenger seat and grabbed his hair, forcing him to look at me.

“Where is LaHote?”

He opened his mouth but only blood poured out. Fuck it. I wasn’t getting shit from him. I shot him in the eye and watched half his head disappear.

Crawling out I realized I needed to call Demetri. Black must have gotten them out. Ray and Andy, my responsibility…

Dani.

She was standing. I looked up and down the street. No one else. I didn’t think.

“Dani baby get inside.”

“Mom you are bleeding. You got shot.” She said quietly, looking at me with fear in her eyes.

“No baby. This is their blood. I’m fine.” Wasn’t I?

I looked at the ground and realized a blood trail was following my leg that was limping.

“Mommy? You’re hurt. You’re hurt bad. Your side…” Dani was crying now. I touched my side and it felt weird. Looking at it I could see the problem. I was hit. The shotgun took a large chunk of skin and muscle. I could see my ribs. One was broken. How about that?

“I’ll be fine. Go inside and call an ambulance and stay there. I have to protect the house. Go baby.”

I fell to my knees and Jane had her arms around me.

“It is time my love. I should have seen them. I was around back. You were supposed to stay inside. I am so sorry.”

“I think I’m good. Just a flesh wound.” I whispered. “I need to kill Black…”

“You will. But it is time.”

I knew she was right. When you can see your insides, you don’t need a medical degree to know things aren’t looking good for you.

“Okay. I’m glad it’s you. I always wanted it to be you. I love you Jane.”

“I love you my Bella.”

I felt her teeth on my neck. Then the warmth came. I knew I would be burning in the flames of hell soon. I would welcome the pain. When I woke the Quileute tribe would feel my pain tenfold.

Dani POV

My mother was in that creatures arms. I could see inside her. That bastard shot her…

That fucking smell. I love you? My Bella? What the fuck? She bit her!

“Get your fucking hands off my mother!”

The girl, no the vampire. She was a fucking vampire. She turned towards me and hissed. She had my mother in her arms like it was nothing.

She had my mother. She would not take my mother from me! No God damn vampire….

I exploded. I wasn’t sure what happened. But I was on… oh fuck. I had four legs. I was huge. Oh God no. Not this.

The vampire hissed again. She had my mother on the ground behind her. She was protecting my mother… from me? That fucking bitch!

I growled and every instinct in my body told me to attack. I jumped for her.

I hit the ground, feeling more pain than I had ever felt before in my life. I can’t imagine how I hurt this much. I wanted to die.

I tried to get off the ground. I needed to vomit. Oh god my head please somebody kill me. I’m sorry Mom.

I felt a blow. My eyes were closed but I felt the blow. Air. Wind. I was flying through the air twisting. I hit something hard, knocking my breath out. I rolled over, the pain in my head gone. I tried to stand on two legs and realized I couldn’t. What was I? How did I move?

“ Run Dani!”

“ Who the fuck are you?”

“ It’s me Luke. Run to me. I’m coming towards you but you have to get away. The leech will kill you. Run!”

I looked and realized I had been thrown into the backyard. She must have thrown me over the house. I heard a car leaving the drive. The bitch was driving my mother away.

“ You can’t save her. They have her. Run to me. Focus on me and run. Follow your instincts. It will be okay.”

“ You’re… like me?”

“ We all are. Others are phasing right now. Come to La Push Dani. Come home.”

“ No. No I have to find my mother.”

“ Danielle you will come to La Push now. Come towards me. I will find you.”

“ Who is this?”

I didn’t want to leave my Mom but my legs… holy shit my legs wouldn’t stop moving. What the hell?

“ I am William Black. The Alpha of the Pack. Come home Danielle. Now. All will be explained when you get here.”

“ You raped my mother.” I said, fear overcoming me as I realized that I was running against my will towards the man I hated. The man who destroyed my mother .

“ What are you talking about Dani?”

“ Danielle doesn’t know what she is talking about Luke. She has been raised by a mother in league with leeches her entire life and been lied to.”

“ Bullshit! I know the truth. You fucking raped her.”

“ Come home Danielle.”

“ Don’t worry. I will kill you for her when I get there.”

I ran with no direction, but my legs apparently knew where they were going. I barely registered the speed I was running. It was amazing though. Trees were flashing by so fast I barely saw them. But I felt strong. Stronger than I could believe. I would kill Black and rescue my mother. She was bit. Did the vampire kill her? No. She bit her and then was protecting her. She was alive.

“ She is turning into one of them now .”

“ Shut up you fucking bastard.”

I entered the clearing and saw him. He was white. Solid white. I knew it was him. Luke was there. It must be his wolf. No there were three other wolves.

Howls everywhere. I could feel other people.

People who were confused. I jumped for the white wolf and missed. His teeth were on the back of my throat.

“ Calm down daughter. I don’t want to have to kill you. You are finally where you are meant to be. Behave.”

“ Get off me motherfucker!”

“ Billy? What the hell is the meaning of this?”

“ Welcome to the party Sam. I see you brought your oldest. What is he? 15 now? You should be happy. I have gotten your pack together and given you new wolves. Even Paul has returned to us.”

“ Us? What the hell do you mean us?”

Black must have opened his thoughts to us. I don’t know what the others saw but I was there. I saw it. I saw everything.

He brutalized my mother. She looked so young. She was young. So innocent. She was only a year older than I was. Oh my God. No… I tried to fight but couldn’t move. Please don’t make me watch this. The black wolf was growling. He couldn’t move either I think. Luke seemed to be crying inside. His feelings…

“ All of you. I know you are there. Ateara, Jacob, Seth, Jared, Paul. Go to the council hall immediately. Young ones follow your elders. I will be there shortly to inform you all exactly what is going on. Do as your alpha tells you.”

“ Where is my wife Billy? You said she would be home. She left. She took my children. Where is she?”

“ Shut up Paul before I send you back to prison and frame you for the death of those poor officers I had to slay to release you. Does death row sound appealing to you?”

“ Dad what are you doing?”

“ I am your Alpha Jacob. Shut up and do as you are told.”

“ You raped Bella? My Bella?!” The Jacob wolf screamed in my head.

“ I actually promised her to your brother first. But I had to bring her into the fold. I marked her and I would decide who had her and when. But honestly your brother deserved her more than you Jacob. Unlike you he doesn’t shirk away from responsibility.”

“ My brother?”

“ Yes, Embry. You know him correct?” Black was laughing .

“ Where is he!?

“ I’m here Jacob.”

Oh God what was going on?

“ You knew? You knew he raped Bella?”

“ It wasn’t supposed to go like that. She was marked. She should have been compelled to stay. Dad fucked it up.”

“ Quiet Embry. You and Jacob both now have a new sister. Everyone to the tribal hall now.”

I didn’t want to go anywhere. I wanted my Mommy. She could be dead. I saw her insides. A vampire bit her. To feed or to change her? I couldn’t save her. I walked outside and got her shot. If she is dead it’s my fault.

I was running along with the other wolves. The black one looked me in the eyes. His eyes seemed sad. Both of us continued to run. What choice did we have?

This was my heritage?

Caius POV

Aro finally arrived back, empty handed. I wanted to touch Bella’s forehead but even though she was lost in a world of pain right now I still would not touch her against her wishes. Athenodora, Chelsea and Jane did their best to sooth her but it would do no good. Usually when a new member is actually turned by one of us Alec comforts them during the change. Isabella was not as fortunate.

“Where is Billy Black Aro?”

“He was not home. I need Demetri to find him.” Aro was angry. Good. I was fucking pissed off. A drive by? A fucking drive by? Are we in Los fucking Angeles?

“Follow his scent. Never mind. I will go.”

“Stay here Brother. We may be facing more wolves than we suspected. Several howls, perhaps twenty or more were rising from the woods. We need to approach this calmly.”

Bella continued to scream.

“Calmly? Bring Santiago back if you want. Bring Afton. I don’t really give a damn. But I am invading La Push now. Right now. I want them all dead. The whole fucking tribe. Every damn one of those bastards.”

“Calm down Caius.” Dora said quietly.

Demetri and Felix walked in, touching Aro’s hand as they did so.

I waited. Aro was thinking. I was impatient.

“Excuse me but do you think you could share with the rest of the class? Those of us who don’t know your every nasty thought with a touch?”

“Sorry Master. The two deputies were killed. A wolf scent was present. They were both shot. The two twins…”

“Are fucking dead. My daughter blew their fucking heads off while being cut nearly in two herself by a shotgun. Where is the other soon to be dead man?”

“We don’t know Master…”

“How the fuck did this bastard get the jump on us! How!? I want somebody cut into fucking pieces and I want fucking blood. I want the streets to run with blood.”

“Caius calm down!” Aro nearly yelled in my face.

I stepped back and took a deep breath.

“Master Caius look. Her wounds are nearly gone and it looks like the scars on her back are beginning to lessen. They will be gone.” Jane whispered. I walked over and was pleased to see this was true. When Jane first brought her screaming form in, covered in blood, I thought we lost her.

Aro finally deemed it appropriate for him to speak.

“Black is able to cause all the older wolves to phase. I am guessing anyone with the bloodline. Dani has phased. She is in La Push now. Unless….Jane you are certain you did not kill her?”

“Yes Master. I heard her breathing and heart beat as I put Bella in the car. I had to get Bella away. You understand?”

“Yes Jane. You did well protecting our Isabella. Now let us take stock in what has happened. Black has made a move to take out Isabella and Charlie. He wanted Dani alive. He most likely has Dani now. Demetri you have met Black. Can you tell where he is? He was not at his residence. None of the wolves seemed to be but several of their houses were destroyed. Uley’s wife was standing in front of a hole in her living room wall crying.”

“Master I can… his essence is everywhere.”

“What do you mean Demetri?”

“Bella said they share a pack mind. I believe that while phased my gift cannot pick up a single one. Instead I see a large essence all over the wilds of La Push.” They are out there, and they are many.”

“Excellent. More blood to spill.” Felix noted, echoing my thoughts.

“We will calm down and approach this as any other battle. Slowly…”

“Aro do you not hear your daughter screaming?! They injured her. Again! Before she was turned they hurt her again. The tribe dies. They all die. Make up whatever cover story you need to but they all die.”

“I agree Caius. But I want to know exactly what I am dealing with. It is not enough to kill them all. We must spare Dani and bring William Black to Italy.”

“Fuck Dani. We can kill them all and break Black’s fucking legs.”

That irritating song Bella has on her phone began to play.

“let me…”

“I have it.” I snatched the phone before Aro could take it.

“Yes?”

“Who am I speaking with?”

It was Black.

“You are speaking to the king of the Vampire world you stupid fucker.” I said calmly. Aro whispered to me about my language. I rolled my eyes. He is too fucking pleasant.

“You are speaking to the king of the werewolf world and you are in my territory. I have Bella Swan’s daughter here. She is currently getting dressed. The only female in a large pack of males. Things will be quite awkward for her until she becomes acclimated I’m afraid.”

“You really have no idea who you are fucking with do you?” I asked the idiot.

“If one of your kind approaches La Push I will kill Danielle.”

“Kill the little bitch. She is agonizingly annoying. That will not stop us from coming for you.”

“I… I don’t think… I’m not joking.”

“Neither am I, kill her. Send her here and I will kill her.” I replied. Aro took the phone before I could continue.

“Black this is Aro. What is it you want in exchange for your daughter’s life?” I mouthed what the fuck and Aro rolled his eyes. I thought I was doing well.

“Isabella’s Swan’s body on the border of La Push and your kind to leave and never return.”

“Not going to happen. Moving on?”

“Fine. Take my pack whore and never return here. I will raise Dani here where she belongs.”

“In the hands of a rapist? I admit she can be quite petulant. She talks back and abuses drugs. She steals money and credit cards. She has had pre marital relations on several public properties in violation of several minor ordinances. She is angry and aggressive and extremely sarcastic in her conversations with most everyone she knows and most she doesn’t. Despite that I don’t know why you feel she belongs in the hands of a bastard who rapes women including his own daughters. A sick, sick piece of living tissue that is in desperate need to be wiped off this planet.”

“You know nothing leech.”

“That is not true. I know you will wind up in my hands being tortured by Isabella. I know if you touch her daughter the torture will be much much worse. Think about it. You won’t kill her. If you kill her, there is nothing to stop us. I understand you have many wolves. I am going to do something I normally don’t find to be in my best interest. I am going to give you a scouting report on your enemy. Do you have a sheet of paper handy? A writing utensil?”

“I have a good memory.” He said chuckling.

“My coven is large. Over fifty vampires. Of those vampires ten are the most powerful vampires in the world. One of those is turning as we speak and she really does not like you. In over two thousand years of being a coven we have never lost a single battle. We have destroyed vampire covens, vampire armies, thousands of werewolves all have fallen before us. We like to burn bodies and homes after we are done because we are environmentalists. We like to leave nature as we found it. We are not the Cullen’s. We are not heroes. Do not make the mistake of thinking we are. We are vicious. Deadly. We have no heart and no sympathy. If you kill the girl or touch her in any inappropriate way we will kill every single man, woman and child in La Push. I don’t care how many innocents you turn into wolves to fight for you. We will kill them. We live for this Billy Black. It is what we do. You are seriously out of your fucking league. We will be there soon to collect young Danielle. I will see in her thoughts everything that has happened from this point on so be on your best behavior.”

“If you are not heroes why concern yourself with Danielle?”

“Everyone needs a hobby. Raising that little brat has been ours for the past 16 years. We have much invested in her and Isabella loves her so her security is quite important to us. Much more important than the lives of your tribe.”

“Am I supposed to be afraid?”

“Only if you are an intelligent man. I would also suggest beginning the practice of yoga.”

“Yoga?”

“Yes, I understand meditation may give a person comfort when undergoing torture. I doubt it but it is worth a shot. Wouldn’t you say?”

Aro ended the call and grinned at me. I admit he did okay.

“Not bad. Marcus would have been better.”

“Marcus? Are you out of your mind? He would have bored him to death!”

“You are still a bit too cheery.”

“I was very intimidating.”

I almost laughed at his false offense until a particularly high pitched squeal reminded us of what Isabella was going through. Neither of us could smile then.

We walked over and I took my wife’s hands. Jane was distraught, her eyes filled with bloody tears.

“Jane, she will be fine. Bella was prepared for this.”

“I know Master.”

“So what is the plan? Attack in three days? Unleash a newborn on La Push?” I asked Aro.

“We go to Italy.”

“Excuse me? Leave Dani here? As big a fan of that plan as I am, do you really think that is best?”

“When we come back I want to wipe La Push off the face of the Earth. That means I want it done correctly. I want Bella up and acclimated for a few days. I want the outer guard ready. I want all the inner guard together. It is entirely possible that we will be fighting those Dracula imitators again in a year or so. This will be a wonderful test run to integrate Bella’s gifts into our battle tactics.”

“Plus Master Caius it may be best not to have Bella wake up here. We can contain her better in our castle.” Chelsea said.

“Why? That is ridiculous. No human has ever been more prepared for awakening into our life than Isabella.”

“Yes Master, but…”

“But what dear?” Aro encouraged her.

“I often talked to Bella about the importance of holding onto her memories during the change by constantly thinking on them despite the pain.”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I don’t see the problem with that.”

“Listen Master.”

I looked at Bella, her head lying in Jane’s lap. She was moaning loudly, yelling in pain. But in between…

“Get off me. Please get off me. Please stop. It hurts. It…”followed by another scream.

“I see.” Aro whispered.

“Yes Master. It appears Isabella has picked one memory to focus on. She will not be happy when she wakes up.” Chelsea said.

“Then take her to Italy. I will stay here with Felix and Demetri. I do not want them to think we are running.” That would not stand.

“Master may I make a suggestion?” Demetri asked.

“Of course.”

“We could send them a message that we are not running. I may not be able to pinpoint Black’s location but I do know the location of a friend of his.”

Sam POV

I was shocked. Billy Black, a man I had always looked to for guidance in the absence of my own father sat at the head of a table and explained to us that he was indeed a rapist. He made no apologies for it. He had caused every young man in La Push over the age of thirteen to phase. He had caused us to phase. I had nearly injured Emily tonight. His power was unbelievable. He could make us phase on command.

My son was terrified. Luke Clearwater believed he was a spirit warrior when he phased three days ago. Black convinced him of his sacred duty. Now though…

“Billy you have killed us all.” I said quietly.

“No. I haven’t Sam. Danielle’s mother has been a curse on our tribe. We have to defend our land as we have always done. The last time I let you handle it. This time I will be running things. We will win as we always do.”

“Don’t talk about my mother.” Dani whispered. I expected her to be terrified. Instead she was just pissed and getting angrier by the second.

“Daughter shut up. I am your parent now and I don’t allow backtalk.”

“She will stay with us.” Jacob said quickly.

“Excuse me?”

“She will stay with Angela and I. You won’t be near her. You really think you can control thirty wolves at the same time and protect yourself from the enemy? You have pissed these vampires off. They are coming for us. Unless you want a rebellion to break out during a pivotal battle you will stay away from her. She stays with my wife and I.”

Jacob had tears in his eyes at what he had learned about tonight. Billy had told us all. About raping Embry’s mother. About Rachel and Rebecca. About Bella and his plan for her that failed when she ran. Even Paul looked disturbed. Embry looked angry as always. I suppose I know why now.

“Jacob I have to say I am proud of you. I don’t really care how my line carries on, so long as it does. Enjoy.”

“That’s not what I meant you son of a bitch!”

“As you wish. I would not recommend a mass revolution though. Our tribe is in danger. It is too late to avoid conflict. We will fight for the life of our entire tribe. Despite hating me, each of you will do what is required. Sam will organize patrols. Embry you will work with Jacob and I on battle plans. I will be leaving now. Sam you may speak to your warriors and begin to prepare them for the fight of their lives.”

Billy stood and then we heard it. From above. A leech hit the ground from above. They had a fucking helicopter. It was too soon. We were dead. We looked at the leech outside the window. It was the huge one. The one over seven foot tall. He tossed a bag into the window and we all backed away. Dani screamed as the glass shattered inward.

The leech stood before the shattered window.

Billy grabbed Dani from nowhere and held her in front of him before I could stop him. The old bastard was so fast.

The leech was laughing.

“There is a photo for the family Christmas card Black. Listen one and all. We will be back in fourteen days. In fourteen days have Black in chains awaiting us and Danielle unharmed and untouched, anywhere. If not we will kill everyone on the reservation. If you are wondering why fourteen days that is the time Bella will need to prepare herself. She is one of us now. You will find she doesn’t carry much love in her heart for your people. In the bag is a preview of what we have in store for your tribe. See you soon.”

The leech was gone. The helicopter rose and we could hear it no more.

I hesitantly reached for the bag. It was heavy but I knew that smell.

Opening it up I saw her. A scream frozen on her decapitated head. Under her head was her torso. Her arms and legs.

“What is it Sam? Who is it?”

Seth must have recognized the scent.

“It’s Sue. It’s your mother Seth. She is torn to pieces.”

I looked at Black who finally had a look of fear on his face. He had let go of Dani.

“Billy you damn bastard, you have killed us all.”
