Once stepping into the house, Connie was taken aback at how her mom had decorated it. She had a nack of collecting things or like she liked to call it, hoarding. Some things worked while others cluttered the space. However, she knew Gaby liked to secretly get rid of the stuff their mom kept for years and would say she would eventually use.
The further she walked down the hall, the more she saw pictures decorating the walls. Many of where Gaby and her were younger but now their were new ones of her family's time in La Push. One particular picture caught her attention. It was a picture of her family with a group of boys and girls. She wanted to take a closer look till she felt the feeling of a body hugging her tightly once again.
"Sis!!", said her little brother, Charlie. Charlie was the youngest of the family with him being a pre-teen. Like any young boy, he was obsessed with video games, playing soccer, and hanging out with their dad. Connie and him were what they called oil and water. They didn't mix but stayed together. They fought like any other sibling.
" Aww, you missed me", Connie teased her little brother as she hugged him tighter while moving him side to side. He fought the tight hold by hugging her tighter till he gave up. Their moment was cut off at the sound of barking and jumping. They turned around to see two little dachshunds, Cookie and Momo, running to them or specifically Connie.
Both dogs belonged to Gaby and Henry, but when they moved in with Gaby's parents, they became the families pets. Their Mom wasn't a pet person at first, which many speculated was because she was afraid of the attachment while dad, was an animal lover. After a while of petting them, Connie made her way down and found everyone at the kitchen.
She smiled at the sight of finally being reunited with her family, but she cooed at the sight of her brother in law, Henry, holding the small bundle and first grandchild, Sammy.
" Mi corazón de melón", she cooed as she walked with her arms opened to carry the baby. Sammy giggled at the sight of his aunt, coming to hug him and carry him. Sammy was 7 months and son of Henry and Gaby. He was their miracle baby, due to Gaby having some complications but with hope and faith, he came into the world as a healthy and heavy baby.
The family was once again complete with the past left behind. They laugh, ate and watched a movie till night came. They were so distracted by the reunion that Connie, Eli and Danny forgot to ask of where to put their stuff away. As everyone made their way upstairs, mom took the liberty to show Eli and Danny their rooms while Gabby showed Connie's hers. Connie couldn't believe at the size of the room but what really took her breath away was the size of the window. It gave her the ability to see the backyard or the backwoods which would look scary without lights but in the day it would look beautiful.
She turned back around to see Gabby sitting on her bed while rocking Sammy in her arms. She saw how Gabby looked at Sammy with so much love. "Look how far we have came", Gaby said, cutting the silence. Connie smiled before she sat on the bed as well.
"I'm just happy mom and dad were able to achieve their dream", Connie said as she looked at her sister.
Her sister smiled at her before looking at the side. Connie knew what she was looking at. It was a long scar that decorated the side of her neck and dipped to her shoulder. Connie feeling a bit conscious, pulled up her shirt a bit higher while covering the remaining skin with her palm. It was a reminder of who she was now.
" So what are the plans for tomorrow?", Connie asked as a way to change the subject.
"Well dad and Charlie, are going to go work with Billy, and mom is going to go shopping with Sue."
" Who are they? And what about you?"
"You'll meet them soon, because dad invited them to a little cookout. While, Henry, Sammy, and I are going to the store to buy some stuff for Sammy?". Connie nodded at their plans.
" What about Danny, Eli and you?" Gaby asked as she noticed Sammy fell asleep. Connie awed before whispering how they were going to run in the morning, and explore town. Both sisters continued to talk lowly to avoid Sammy from waking up and before they knew it, it was 11pm and they decided to call it a night.
As the whole house settled to sleep, Connie was the last one to close her eyes till the distinctive sound of wolf howls were heard. It was different from the city since the night was filled with cars and other noises but now it was filled with the sound of nature. Sleep finally came and the noise of the howling became a distant memory.
-
Connie woke up at different times throughout the morning, once when she heard her father and brother leave. Another at the sound of her mother making coffee and the last when she heard her sister and her family leave while the baby fussed a bit. Eventually sleep consumed her once more till the banging of her door woke her.
"Get up!", Eli shouted as he continued to bang on the door. She groaned at the sound and laid back some more, trying to continue sleeping till Eli opened the door and started to shake her.
"Come. On.", Eli shook her.
"Let's just do the run and we can go back to sleep" Eli continued to beg.
Connie turned and opened her eyes to see Eli smiling while Danny peaked at the doorstep. She nodded before kicking them out and changing. Once she was done, she stepped out the front yard and looked out at the woods. Both Eli and Danny were doing the same till Eli closed his eyes. Danny and her looked at one another and then at Eli's concentrated face till a smile broke on his face.
He opened his eyes before looking at both of them excitedly. "Their's a cliff just a couple miles away. Whoever gets their first can decide what we will do later. Deal?"
"Deal", they responded before smirks grew in their faces and they put their own earphones on. When they all settled, they gave a nod before they began to run into the woods. All three went in different directions and the sound of running filled different areas of the woods until the crunch of leaves disappeared. Black smoke began to fill their path as one by one disappeared and appeared further from where they were. They still took moments to run before vanishing once again.
They appeared on the strong branches of trees. Paths of flowers, and on tall rocks. Eventually, Danny was the first to reach the cliff, then Eli, and finally Connie. They all felt breathless at how much they traveled but smiled at the sight of the ocean waves. The sky was gloomy but the scenery made up for it. Sitting down at the edge, both Eli and Danny sat on each side of her.
Danny and Eli gave each other a look before looking at her. "I know you keep staring at each other. Just ask what I think you are going to ask”
Danny broke the silence before asking, "So... how are we going to execute these "orders" while living here?"
With a quick sigh, she responded , " Well by what he said, it's going to be a back and forth trip sometimes, with us going to Seattle and meeting with some of the clients, and then quick orders will be executed when they contact us."
"So... your parents still have no clue of what happened in the past and where the money is actually coming from?", Eli asked as he threw the rock into the ocean.
"No, but if they ask... just say it's a good paying job."Connie said as she gave Eli a pointed look and before she gave the same look to Danny she saw him lost in thought.
"Come back to us Danny" she waved her hand in front of his face. " What's got you thinking so deeply?"
He blinked before saying "I don't know. It's just when we crossed into this territory, it feels off. Like their's more to this town besides its residents."
"I know what you mean", Eli responded. Connie didn't want to say anything thinking she was overthinking it but just yesterday she felt being watched in the woods.
"Lets stay on high alert and if anything, kill it", Connie said before she continued, "For now let's go back home, shower, and explore this place".
All of them got up while wiping their hands of dirt. Eli ran first before screaming "Race yall!". The forest was once again filled with laughter and small gusts of air as they disappeared and appeared in different areas. Once they appeared a few feet from the house, they walked in to an empty house. All three went to shower before they began their journey in town.
This time Danny drove, while Eli sat in the passenger seat and Connie sat in the back. She saw once again how the streets were filled with trees but once in a while they saw people of the reservation. Adults working and talking amongst each other and children laughing while playing games. Finally, they saw the stores and restaurants. Eli made note of where every fast food place was while Danny memorized each road and landmark around them. They decided to stop at a Sonic. Even though it was cold outside, they enjoyed a blue and red slush. It brought the memories to the beginning of their journey. One that was built of blood and destruction.
As they drove back, they were surprised at seeing 2 trucks, one that seemed to have Charlie, Billy, her father and brother. While the other truck was filled with a couple boys. Danny was the first one to get out the car to help their dad with the heavy stuff while Eli got out to interact with their little brother.
As Danny and Eli walked towards their family, they got the same feeling of being watched but instead of it coming from the woods, it came from the guys in the other truck. Eli wanted to turn around and look at them but was stoped as Danny walked by him and whispered to keep on walking.
Sam and the guys couldn't help but feel like there was something different of the 2 boys walking towards Alan and little Charlie. They were overprotective of the family as if they were their own. All became tense as seeing the youngest one stop until the tall one passed by him. Their worries were brushed off at seeing Charlie and Alan acknowledge them as they helped them with their things. All of their train of thoughts were abruptly stoped at hearing the slam of the car they arrived at. They were surprised at seeing a girl that resembled Gaby, walked past car. They were even more surprised as Charlie screamed "Sis!". This was the infamous middle child of Alan and Lisa which the family never stoped talking about.
- - - -
Charlie frowned at the sight of his sister having a drink while it didn't seem they bought him anything. Connie noticed the look before giving her drink to him and telling him to finish it. While the siblings interacted, they were still watched by the boys on the truck. Sam watched them intently wondering who were the other two guys besides them. He especially was not getting a good feeling of the tallest one who seemed to analyze him as well. On the passenger side, Jared looked at them as he ate his burger, seeing if they were truly a threat. Seth was at the back asleep since he was tired of patrol while Quil kept on poking him. Finally, Embry was the last one, he kept looking at the girl as he admired her dimpled smile. They were alerted at seeing her turn their direction as if to walk towards them but was stoped as Billy crossed her path.
He seemed to be telling her something. By what they heard, he mentioned how they had to go to " work" and will see them later at the cookout. The tall one seemed to tense up more before the youngest one moved. Billy gave Sam the signal, that it was time to leave and as they drove off the property, Sam could see from the rear view mirror on how the girl was looking at them driving away while a small smirk played on her lips.
When Sam and the guys made it back to Billy's house, they were ready to shift and go on a small patrol but were stopped at the pointed look Billy gave them.
"What did you think boys? Any weird feelings?"
Sam quickly responded. " They don't seem to be a threat from what Jacob told us. Who are the two guys? I only thought Alan and Lisa had 2 daughters and 1 boy?"
Billy looked a bit thoughtful before smiling. "Brothers they say. By what Sue had heard Lisa say, theirs no blood relation but something happened and the family decided to take them in."
"Why did you ask us to look at them Billy?", Quil asked.
"Because something about them feels off. You felt it didn't you? The feeling of another challenging you?" He responded back.
"Yes but they haven't shown any signs of abnormality. They have normal scent of human and the family hasn't shown any weird behaviors since they moved here.", Sam responded.
Billy nodded before dismissing the boys. As they were leaving, Billy asked a final question. "Where's Leah?"
- - -
Connie, Danny, and Eli were once again found in town. They were planning to lounge the rest of the day till their mother mentioned how she forgot some extra snacks for the boys that were coming over. From what Connie was told, it was the same guys in the car. They seemed tense, almost like they were threatened by their presence. Connie and Eli walked the isles back and forth till they made sure that everything on the list was checked off. As they looked at the many items in the cart, it felt like they were feeding animals and not people.
"I think we have everything", Eli said as he checked the list for the last time.
"Great...where's Danny?"
Eli shrugged him shoulder as he checked the end of the isles to see if he got any view of their tall brother. When he turned to the right he spotted him looking around the corner to the check out section.
"Found him!"
Connie nodded as she made her way towards Danny with the cart. " You disappeared for a bit. You think you.."
She cut herself off at seeing Danny still looking away from them. Almost like he was mesmerized. Eli noticed it as well and followed the direction he was looking at. A small smirk played on his lips while looking back and forth at the girl and at Danny.
While both Eli and Connie secretly looked with Danny. Danny was lost at the sight of the girl. He had never seen someone look so beautiful and breathtaking. He couldn't help but pay attention at every detail of her. How she had sharp eyes and cheekbones. How her skin was a beautiful warm tone and how her hair looked smooth and silky. He couldn't help only see her side profile and not at her directly.
His thoughts were cut off at the feeling of being nudged. He turned to see Eli's teasing expression and he couldn't help but look down. Danny didn't want them to see him look flushed from only looking at a girl. For gods sake he wasn't 13. He looked up once again in time to see the girl leaving. The feeling of wanting to chase after her filled him and he was about to until the sound of a familiar ringing filled their space.
Eli had stoped his teasing, and Danny's emotions were once again neutral. Connie was the one to answer the phone. All of them knew what was going to happen. They were given their first job. Even though Connie was the one to pick up the call, they could read each other's thoughts and get every detail they needed.
Three Males. 45, 42, and 47. Murderers . Lived in the rich area of Seattle. Killed kids for fun. Wanted dead before 10pm today.
Danny checked his watch. Although their task didn't seem complicated. It came close to when their family was expecting them. Connie seemed to be thinking the same thing as she looked at him.
" Yes sir. We'll get it done.", she said before hanging up.
" Let's go", Connie said simply. The groceries in their cart were long forgotten as they walked out the store. Although their pace was normal, the thirst for death overpowered them. They left the car in the parking lot before they made their way into the woods. Each one vanished from thin air till they appeared once again in different rooms of a luxurious apartment. They could hear the laughter of the 2 men in the living room discussing their latest kills. Both men were unaware of the looming presence of figures in the same room with them.
Connie loomed in a particular room. Although all three men committed the same crime, they still had a leader. As Connie looked at every object of the room, a sharp knife on the nightstand grabbed her attention. She walked silently towards it before touching it. Screams after scream filled her head. All voices of the victims to the weapon and hands of the person. She let go before hearing the smashing of something. She heard the gurgle of blood as they screamed in agony. Their blood was becoming hotter and unbearable. Eli.
Then another scream was heard as sound of electricity and static filled the room. What followed was the fast swishing of water and begging. Danny. Both men were being tortured and played with. Connie didn't mind as she knew there was still some restlessness in Danny and Eli. Although they weren't the ones to finish the job, she knew they needed an outlet. The sound of a frantic shake of the entrance door was heard. Their special guest was here. She could hear as the other 2 men tried to scream for help before the torture continued.
She grabbed the knife on the nightstand before she used the end of it to smash a near by mirror. The pieces fell on the floor as the jiggling of the handle turned to banging against the door. She waited till the last blow. The man entered, shocked at first before looking angry at the sight. Before he could get a word in, fast swooshes were heard and blood began to pour out his mouth. He dropped to his knees before reaching to touch his stomach. Sharp points of something was sticking to his body. He looked up in time to see a presence walking towards him. He wanted to scream and run in fear before a dark smile crossed its lips.
Screams filled the place and then silence.

Back at the Salazar residence, a small bonfire illuminated the place as different people surrounded them. The adults were talking amongst one another. Billy, Old Quil, and Alan surrounded the grill as they talked about fishing. Sue, Emily, Lisa, and Gaby were setting the tables with plates and food. Quil, Charlie, Seth, and Jared played soccer. And finally, Sam and Embry sat by the fire as they talked. Embry was the first to sense the presence of Leah and Paul approaching them. They had come back from their night patrol and while Paul looked a bit peeved which could be from an argument amongst him and Leah, Leah seemed more annoyed at the fact of being there. Don't get her wrong, she liked hanging out with the Garcia family, but she couldn't stand being among the pack especially Sam and Emily.
She didn't want to seem rude, so she decided to come and greeted everyone before sitting down by the bonfire as well. 10 minutes have passed until Leah noticed Lisa whispering into Gaby's ear with a worried look. She looked back at the guys seeing if they knew something until she saw Sam's worried look.
"What's going on?", she asked before she saw Embry look at the fire.
"Mrs. Salazar is becoming worried as her other children haven't came from their errands."
Leah was shocked at hearing the news. "Other children? Who?"
As she asked the questions, she could see from the corner of her eye as Paul sat up straight at hearing the new news.
" Their's the middle child Connie and two other guys", Quil said as he approached the group.
Sam nodded before continuing, " Billy wanted us to check on them since he had this weird feeling about them."
"Weird feeling", Paul said like it was a crazy thing.
Their conversation was cut as they saw Gaby get up to talk to her husband Henry. They could hear her frantic tone and how they should drive to town to look for them. Their worries were cut off at the sound of a car quickly pulling up.
They could see how Lisa gave a sigh of relief before shouting in Spanish.
"¿Y en donde chingados han estado!?"
"Sorry!We got side tracked," one of them shouted.
"Ahorita les ayudamos. Solamente nos vamos a ir a cambiar.", Leah heard as she saw their figures enter quickly into the house.
The group saw how all 3 of the family members ran inside with bags of the grocery store. Lisa was still worried of their whereabouts till Sue reassured her that they were children and new to the place, so it was easy to be curious.
Leah saw how the family looked more relaxed at seeing the rest of their children at home. She now understood the weird feeling of but instead of feeling challenged, she felt at peace . Her attention was pulled away at the feeling of Seth bumping his arm with hers. Her little brother, forced to grow up very young but she liked that he still had a positive attitude. Leah felt that besides her mom and Seth, she was truly alone. The pack disliked her because she was rude and mean but in reality she was heart broken. They made her feel like she was the one exaggerating.
"Seth?", Leah asked as she saw him looking at his plate of food. He looked up before saying "Yeah"
"Did you felt the same feeling as the other guys. Like challenged?"
Seth thought about for a second. "I'm not sure Lee. I was asleep when they first saw them but it was the best sleep I ever had. Right now I don't even get the same feeling"
Leah nodded before she turned at the sound of a door opening. Seth was bit preoccupied biting his burger while she turned around to see one of the boys coming out. She saw he smiled as he brought her mom and Mrs. Salazar some extra food they had bought. She saw how he introduced himself to his mother and the elders. Eli, she heard him say his name. As he made his way towards them, she heard Seth get up.
She turned around to see him wipe himself off the crumbs before giving his signature smile. "Let me welcome him, as I know the guys are going to be a bit tense with him". Leah saw how Seth smiled at her as he walked towards the guy. A snort left her lips as she saw him try to act all cool but she her demeanor changed she saw him stop.
Leah stood up, worried something happened to Seth and she could feel how the rest of the pack stoped doing what they were doing as well. With her super sense of hearing, she heard how his heart rate had sped up.
"Hi, I'm Eli", the guy said as he smiled and extend his hand.
Seth was frozen as he locked eyes with the person in front of him. The world seemed to vanish behind him and all he could do was concentrate on the guy in front of him. He could see his lips move as he said his name. Eli. What a unique name. His breath became shallow as he saw small flashes pass through his eyes. Different memories of him with Eli as they held hands and cuddled near the beach.
He felt himself slip backwards before the feeling of a hand stoped him. Seth looked up to see Eli hold him steady while asking if he was okay. He was confused with his feelings but one thing was for sure. He had imprinted.
Seth couldn't look away from the eyes of his imprint. It felt like a magnet that brought them together. Everything stoped as he realized where he was again.
"Seth, are you okay?" He heard Leah say as she approached them. He turned around to nod at her and once he looked at her, the whole pack realized what had happened. Seth had found his imprint.
"Is everything okay?", they heard a new voice say.
Leah looked behind Seth and Eli to notice the new person and assure everything was fine.Leah felt her breath hitch as he finally looked at the person in front of her. The whole pack tensed up once again as they saw what was happening again. A new bond was being formed.
The world works in mysterious ways. For Leah she thought she was destined to be alone. She was the freak. The outcast. The murderer. The last choice.
But everything changed as she locked eyes with him.
