Those of us who could shapeshift into airborne creatures did
so and we took off toward La Push. The rest of our supernatural army loaded
into reinforced SUVs, driving north toward La Push. I wanted to be with Bella,
but Peter and Liam were all adamant that the three of us run recon over Aro’s
castle.
Liam led our trio of birds toward La Push. He was a huge thunder
bird, bringing storm clouds with him and the power crackled all around him.
Peter was to his right, dwarfed by Liam’s size and I was to Liam’s left, flying
as a falcon. Lord Edward, look below,
thought Liam. We’re here.
I cocked my head, dipping below the cloud bank and saw the
foreboding palace of darkness. We should
do further recon. Get inside? I questioned.
You’d have to do it,
Edward. You’re the only one who can change his shape at will, Peter said. Liam and I will find a perch, hidden by the
clouds.
Can they detect us? I
asked. Can they sense our magic?
Dark creatures do not
have as fine-tuned as our senses, Lord Edward, Liam answered. They’ll sense something is afoot, but not to
be able to pin-point where that magical incursion is.
I nodded, banking lower and changing into a raven. I flew
closer to the palace and landed on one of the top turrets. I looked around,
fluffing my wings. I could see the wolves wandering the grounds. Half were in
their wolf form, while the rest were human. I saw Jacob as a human and he
carried a tray. I took off, following him at a discreet distance. He went into
a smaller turret and I listened, trying to see and hear if this was where Rose,
Carmen and Marcus were being held. I heard crying, broken crying. With a twist,
I landed on the ledge of a window. I peered inside the window, hoping to see
our captured people.
The door flung open and Jacob came in. I heard gasps and
more crying. “Shut up, whore. Or, I’ll give you something to cry about.”
“You already have,” Carmen hissed. “Animal!”
He growled, tossing the tray into the room. He left the
room, slamming the door shut. I changed into a small primate, something with
opposable thumbs. With my clumsy hands, I opened the window and hopped inside.
Marcus held up his hands in defense, but I changed into my human form. Marcus
put his hands down and shook his head. “You need to leave, Lord Edward,” he
hissed, his voice tired and dejected.
“We’re coming to help you,” I said, moving toward Carmen and
a huddled Rosalie under a blanket. The latter was littered in bruises and she
had very little clothing on. What she did have on was torn, almost ripped from
her body. “What happened?”
“Jacob lost his temper,” Rosalie whispered brokenly. “He
discovered the tracking chips.” She lifted her blanket and showed me a large
gash in her thigh where her chip had been implanted. I growled, wanting to heal
her. I lifted my hands, but Carmen stopped me. “You can’t, Edward. They can’t
know you’re here.”
