"Was that necessary?" asked Bella, feeling bad for him.
Not bothering to turn human, Dean finished his meal before picking up Jake and carrying him to the others with Bella following quietly behind.
(Jake!) exclaimed Embry, recognizing him immediately, (What happened?)
(I did,) said Dean casually.
Embry blanched, (Why?)
(He attacked Dean and Leah,) answered Paul.
(What!) exclaimed Seth.
(No, there had to be a reason,) said Embry hurriedly.
Leah scoffed, (Not a good one.)
(But there was a reason,) pushed Embry.
(Bella decided to fuck us instead of him,) Dean explained.
He could have sworn he saw Colling give him a disapproving look, but he turned his head away when he tried to confirm.
Quil sighed, (That'd do it.)
(I don't believe it,) said a dejected Embry, (You knew how he felt about her. Why did you have to sleep with her?)
(It's not my problem how he feels about someone, I'm not going to change my life and the lives of others to make him happy,) said Dean.
(You have Leah though, why, why did you do it?) asked Embry mournfully.
(I'll not repeat myself, she wanted it, she got it, end of story, and know this, he is now banished on pain of death should he return. I will explain this to Billy and the council later, for I shall not suffer selfish attacks towards myself or my mate. The second he attacked Leah; Jake was done for. It's at my mercy he lives to see another day, and it's the last he'll receive,) said Dean.
(Come on Embry, you don't want to see this,) said Quil.
(No, I should stay and say goodbye at least,) said Embry sadly.
A branch snapped in the distance, and they turned their heads, spotting an unknown blonde-haired, yellow-eyed vamp watching them. She took one look at the wolves, Bella, and the bodies of her friends and ran for it.
"Irina," breathed Bella upon spotting her
(Who the fuck is that?) asked Paul, giving chase along with everyone else.
All except Embry, Quil, and Dean, who stayed behind to eat, trusting the others to get her.
(Is there no way you can forgive him?) asked Embry when they were alone.
(Not for a long while, but you never know what the future holds,) said Dean, giving him some hope.
(Is he conscious?) asked Quil, (Can he hear us?)
(He's conscious, whether or not he can hear us is another matter, his mind doesn't seem to be all there right now due to the devastating loss he suffered, you know how dramatic he can be,) said Dean, putting it as nicely as he could.
.
Leah was the first to catch up to her, tripping her legs and causing Irina to fall, tumbling along the ground.
"You traitorous bitch!" Irina screamed at Bella as she was surrounded.
"Is this what happened to Laurent as well?" she asked, glaring at Bella, "And to think I was coming to apologize for how I acted at the wedding."
"You shouldn't have," said Bella, and the wolves attacked, ripping her to shreds.
Seeing Dean wasn't around, Sam shifted back, "Explain."
"That was Irina from a sister coven to the Cullens, they came for the wedding, but live in Alaska, they also happen to be the only other vampires I know of that practice the same animal diet," said Bella.
"And will her coven come for her?" asked Sam.
"They will," answered Bella.
"Let's get back and speak to Dean about this, and he'll decide what to do," said Sam, shifting, (Grab all her parts, Dean will want them.)
.
Back at the Cullen's house, they found Dean alone with Jake.
(Where are Quil and Embry?) asked Jared.
(I let them leave,) said Dean.
They then told him about what they knew.
(We'll have to figure out who's going to Alaska then,) said Dean.
(Can we go?) asked Seth, Brady, and Collin with little hope, giving their best puppy-eyed look, and making Bella coo inside at their adorableness.
(What about your families?) asked Dean, not saying no, (You'll be gone for a while, possibly days.)
Their enthusiastic moods took a downturn, tails dropping.
Dean then turned human to address Bella: "Alright, everything seems to be in order. Know that if we cross paths again and your eyes aren't yellow, we'll immediately kill you. This rule only applies to you. Any other yellow eyes are now fair game and no better than red eyes to us, so go and be merry for as long as you can, and we both wish you a sweet goodbye, dear sister."
Bella's eyebrows furrowed, "Why are you both so sure my dad will marry her mom?"
"You don't get in a relationship like that if you don't plan on going the distance," said Dean matter-of-factly.
"Okay, I understand, and thank you," said Bella, giving one last pity-filled fleeting glance at Jake before taking off, never to be seen in Forks again.
(What will you do with him now?) asked Sam when he shifted back, referring to Jake.
(Dump him somewhere far away and make sure he understands his punishment,) answered Dean.
(I've been giving some thought about who should go to Alaska,) said Sam.
(Alright, let's hear it,) said Dean.
(I'll stay behind with Embry and the young ones, that splits us evenly. If something happens, it'll be a good idea to have at least half of us here. The distance is too great to hear a howl and react in time, plus we have no clue what will happen now that the Cullens are gone. We don't know who might come searching for them, or try and take their place,) said Sam.
(Sounds reasonable, okay, is everyone ready to go?) asked Dean.
(Right now?) asked Jared.
(Time's a wasting, Leah, go grab Quil and we'll wait for you at the state line if you haven't caught up... On second thought, you all wait for me there, I have something to take care of,) said Dean, looking down at the glassy-eyed wolf of Jake.
(On it,) said Leah.
(I'd like to eliminate any threats now while the getting's good before anyone becomes aware of the power shift, so we can start our reign of terror fresh without any hidden threats when we begin our sweep of the surrounding areas,) said Dean.
(Yes, this is what I'm talking about,) said an excited Paul, tail wagging.
Watching them go, Sam turned to the young pups, (Don't be so down, you guys will get your chance, there's still a long road to go.)
(Why can't we just tell our parents?) asked an indigent Brady.
Instead of answering, Sam asked, (You think they'd let you go then?)
Brady bowed his head in defeat, (No.)
(I know my mom wouldn't, and she does know,) said Seth.
(She does? Oh, right, your dad was a part of the council, and Leah's also a wolf,) said Collin quickly.
(Yeah,) said Seth with a nod.
