Edward nodded once. "And a human," he added. He focused a bit on Alice's thoughts: her driving, the wreck, the wolf lying in a bloody heap, and Carlisle showing up not long after. From what he could see in Alice's thoughts, the two looked pretty young. Still, the fact that one of them was a werewolf didn't necessarily make everything safe. "We have to tell the others...but first we have to hide Nessie."

"The cottage. We can take her there." Bella said fighting the worry in her voice. "She's with Rose. Rose and I we'll go and then once you fill everyone in, you can join us." It made perfect sense to Bella. She didn't want Edward very far from her but she would sacrifice a few moments for the safety of her family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So where's your pad?" Morrigan asked as they joined the others outside.

"Alright," Edward nodded. "We should take care of it quickly though." Edward left quickly. He ran into Jasper in the hall and explained the situation.
"Is there really no other choice?" he asked calmly.
"Apparently not," Edward replied. "He's worried about what that thing would do if left alone with the humans."
"He is right. There's no telling what it'd do."
Edward closed his eyes. "At least here, we could freely do something about it. Even still..."
"You're worried about Nessie."
Edward nodded.
"You know we won't let anything happen to her."
"Yeah, but the fear is still there."
Jasper nodded once. "As it is with the rest of us," he whispered softly.
***
"It is a ways from here," Carlisle replied. He looked to Terry, who had his hands in his pockets, before adding "And as I said before, it is surrounded by forest on all sides."
"Good, good," Terry said. "Well, I guess we're ready whenever."

It was against Leah's nature to ride in the same car as a leech. She wasn't their biggest fans.
"I'll see you there. Bet I can beat you." Leah said with wink to Terry. She was the fastest in both packs and was confident she could get to the manor first. The only one who came close to her speed was Jacob and he would be heading straight for the cottage and Nessie. After one last smile, Leah took off running for the trees.
Morrigan was frowning. The girl was flirting, or at least thats what she saw it as, with her brother.
"Yeah lets rock 'n' roll" Morrigan said still annoyed at the spot Leah had disappeared into the woods at. "Can we grab some fast food on the way? Different diet and all."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bella gave Alice's hand a squeeze before heading out to the garage where Rosalie and Emmett were. Nessie swing around on Emmett while Rosalie was under the hood of some car. Bella vaguely noticed it was very badly damaged yellow Porsche. She quickly filled all of them in on Carlisle's guests. Nessie climbed into her mother's waiting arms.
The little girl put her hand to Bella's cheek. Images of Jacob and Seth in human and wolf forms flashed through her mind.
"I'm not sure. Daddy will find out." Bella told her. Rosalie wiped the grease of her hands and let Bella lead the way out back after giving Emmett a kiss.
"Just what we need more dogs around." Bella heard Rose say to Emmett.

Terry smiled back at the girl. She was rather attractive and there was something about her...something that seemed more than human. Curiosity was starting to rise within him, not the least of which was her claim to be faster. He'd have to find out about her later, especially after he finished healing. He continued watching as she went on ahead, til he could see her no more. Carlisle's voice brought him back to the moment at hand.
"Wouldn't you rather have something better?" Carlisle asked with a smile. "Fast food isn't exactly healthy for you. Besides, my wife would be more than happy to cook for you. She rather enjoys it."
As if on cue, Terry's stomach growled. "Damnit," he muttered to himself. "Sounds good to me," he said as he turned to face Carlisle directly.
***
Sam watched the younger boy carefully the entire time. He still wasn't entirely convinced that he wasn't a threat. If the Cullens wanted to keep an eye on him, fine by him. Their place probably would be the safest. He was confident that between the Cullens and Jacob's pack, the boy could be subdued without too much trouble.
Still, there was more to it: Leah. He had noticed how she acted around him. Maybe he was looking too much into things, but it seems as if she's taken an interest in this strange wolf. If it came to a fight, would she be safe? For the time being, Sam contemplated going to the Cullen manor as well, to keep an eye on both of them, just to be on the safe side.
***
Jacob looked at the strange couple one last time before he too took off. As soon as he was well out of sight, he phased to his wolf form.
***
Emmett smirked at his wife's comment as he watched her leave. "I wonder though," he muttered to himself "if he's a real wolf or if he's one of Jacob's people."

Leah was already in wolf form when Jacob phased, in fact the whole pack was and Leah had filled them in on what had happened.
*Who are they?* Seth asked. *I want to see them.*
Leah ignored her bother as her thoughts strayed back to Terry. She had to focus not to think about about the way he had smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"food? the sooner the better when it comes to Terry." Morrigan laughed.

Terry glared at his sister, albeit in a joking way. "I'm not that bad," he muttered.
Carlisle chuckled at their exchange as he opened the car door for them. He helped Terry in, much to the latter's annoyance, and held it open for Morrigan.
***
Jacob ignored everything as best he could as he ran. His entire focus was on reaching the cottage so as to watch over Renesmee. He was more worried about her than anyone else at the moment.
The rest of the pack, however, were curious as read Leah's thoughts. A few of them were excited. Most, however, were wary of this strange, white wolf. A few even doubted Leah's claim, in their own minds.

Bella could hear and smell Jacob coming. Even if she hadn't, Rosalie's scowl would have been enough to tell of his approach.
Nessie expression and the images she sent to Bella were all about her Jacob.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Thanks" Morrigan said getting in. She wanted to talk to Terry about that girl, Leah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leah just kept running. She wanted to make sure she beat them to the manor. Unbidden the thought of Terry's smile as she had said she could beat them came to her mind. Quickly she focused on the trees around her.

Carlisle shut the door behind her before getting in himself. He pulled his cellphone out as he started the car and drove, dialing his wife's number in the process.
***
Embry picked up on the thought immediately. He smiled, or at least as best he could in his wolf form. *What's this? Looks like Leah's into the new kid.*

*Shut it, Embry* Leah snapped.
*Wait, Leah, you like him?!?* Seth sounded surprised.
*Thanks, Embry* Leah growled as she thought the words. *He's different is all. i just think we need to know as much about him as possible for the tribe's safety.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Esme picked up her phone and after speaking with Carlisle, was soon bustling about the kitchen in a blur.

*Riiiiight* Embry thought.
*Enough, both of you* Jacob commanded.
***
Terry remained quiet throughout the rest of the trip. Instead, he watched the scenery pass by. The drive itself felt very long. How much of that was the actual distance and how much was just boredom, Terry couldn't tell.
"We're here," Carlisle said as he pulled into the drive.
"Woah," Terry whispered as he looked at his surroundings. He got out of the car after Carlisle and looked around. His eyes took in the woods around him, as well as the manor itself. "OK, I'm impressed," he said after a while.
As Terry glanced over the manor again, a figure grabbed his attention. There, standing in front of the doors was a boy taller than himself with messy bronze hair.

"Wow" Morrigan said as she got out of the car. "I knew doctor's had cash, but... wow" Then she noticed the boy that looked around their age that Terry was looking at.
*kinda cute for a vamp* she thought. *But then so is the doc. But that's the way it is with vampires. Heh, I wonder how many people in this town already know about the vamps and wolves. Maybe she knows already. That would make my life so much easier. Wow this house really is amazing.*

"No," the boy said with a frown as he approached, "they do not." He looked at Morrigan specifically. "And I advise you to keep it that way."
His movements were surprisingly fluid, definitely more so than a human. Terry really didn't have to guess at what he was. The looks, the movement...even if all of that were deceiving, the smell definitely gave it away: vampire. Terry immediately found himself moving in front of Morrigan again, defensively.
"It's OK Terry," Carlisle said. Even if he wasn't a vampire, he'd still be able to sense the tension easily.
"That's not going to help," the boy said. "He comes from a strange place, a place where our kind are bound by certain laws, namely to not feed on any human or human like creature. We're not bound by those same laws. That's what has him so defensive."
Terry growled low. "How do you know all of that?"

*Whoa trippy* Morrigan thought as she looked at the boy surprised.
"He knew what I was thinking." Morrigan whispered to Terry. *I wonder if he is doing it right now. His comment to me was very specific. I better be careful with what i think about. maybe I can get some time alone with Terry so we can talk about it and about how we're going to find... don't think.*

Curious, Carlisle though. A place where vampires are bound by such a law...to think that such a place could exist. Just where did these two come from? "We may not be bound by your laws, Terry, but we still do not hunt humans. We do so of our own free will."
Terry turned his attention to the doctor, at least partially. He still kept the new boy in his peripheral vision. His body was tense, ready to shift and fight if need be. It'd be rough with his ribs the way they were, but if it came to a fight, he'd have to deal with it and the consequences later.
"Terry, you and your sister will be safe here," the doctor said in a soothing tone, as if comforting a patient.
Terry felt himself start to relax. He didn't know what it was, but there was just something about the doctor that made him want to trust him. After all, he did help out earlier, even if Terry didn't really need it.
Carlisle, the boy as well, both noticed the change in Terry. Both thought the same thing. Good. As the tension started to die down, Carlisle smiled. "Now," he began, "I believe introductions were in order. Terry, Morrigan allow me to introduce my son, Edward."
