Chapter 128
Meanwhile as the talks were happening in the Cullen Mansion, at the same time on a completely opposite side of Forks, another discussion was taking place, inside of the Quileute Reservation among the leaders of the Quileute tribe.
At a large wooden house in the middle of the cabin, five people were gathered, Sam Uley, Billy Black, Abraham Penn as well as James Smith.
Sam Uley was the youngest member inside of the current meeting and the only reason that he had gotten a spot inside of it was for the fact that he was the member of the younger generation who had first activated his shape shifting powers, thus making him the current de facto alpha of the younger pack of wolves.
Billy Black was looking at him with an expression that clearly showed his complete seriousness on the matter that had been brought up after Carlisle Swan had sent them a letter during the late hours of last night. It had been left at the edge of the border between the two territories and the wolves which had been on patrol had found it almost immediately, easily able to smell when a Cold One came near their territory.
"Carlisle sent a letter last night, it pertains to the person who you report to have identified as the killer of the three kids from Forks Highschool. The letter talks about their being a misunderstanding and that Carlisle wants to have a talk with us at the border today about it, together with the kid whos being accused." Billy said, his old gravely voice spreading through the otherwise silent wooden house however a difference from the Cullen Mansion was the fact that sounds could still be heard coming from outside, it was only silence inside of the house, outside the wildlife was still making noise, the insects were still there and so were the deer, squirrels and other creatures. Some things that did not exist anywhere near where the Cullens lived.
"Missunderstanding? I smelled it, the smell of blood, the entire apartment was covered in it, aswell as the smell of those three kids. There is no miscommunication, whatever happened it happened inside of that kids house and now those… Cold bastards are even trying to protect him?" Sam spoke, his voice cold as he looked at Billy Black, his eyes narrowed, he had never truly had a great connection with the old tribe, having wanted to have more of his own freedom, more ability to make decisions on his own, he had never agreed to the truce deal that they had with the Cold Ones, always thinking that the best option was to fight them and get rid of them from Forks for good however he had not been able to say much as he did not have much power, however as more and more of the younger generation of the Quileute tribe awakened and joined his side… the more freedom he found in his ability to speak and defy the elders.
"That remains to be seen, we have never had any problems with them for a long time… it is true that we must never trust them however we should also still check what they are saying, it could be the case that the boy is truly innocent. He does not smell like one of them afterall." Billy said slowly as his voice grew harder at the obvious disobedient look on Sam's face.
'This kid… thinking that im taking a slight at him simply for asking him to be more careful.' Billy thought to himself, almost feeling like he was going to have a headache simply from talking to the young man infront of him who seemed to not want to take a cautionary approach no matter what.
'Ah to be young and… nevermind I was never that prideful.' Billy thought as he slightly shook his head and then turned his gaze towards the rest of the elders.
"We will do as Billy says… it is better to be sure rather than simply launch an attack towards the Cullens, we must not forget what they are and their power, a fight with them currently when we are still getting stronger is not a good idea. We have to wait atleast a few more months if not another year or two before everyone of this generation finishes awakening to their true self. At that point we can take more rash decision Sam." Abraham says as he gives a nod towards Billy before turning his gaze towards Sam, it was his way of affirming the power that Billy and the other elders held whilst still trying to slightly appease the young man so that this wouldn't turn into a straight out brawl of words and shouting between the two parties.
'We have to be more careful with him aswell, we can not have a rebellion happening inside of the tribe whilst the Cullens are still here, as always they will leave in a few years and be gone for decades, enough time for Sam and the others to mature enough… we just have to hope that nothing happens today.' Abraham thought to himself as he felt like releasing a long sigh, he had always had the job of dealing with the inner politic currents that went through the tribe however he had never had as much trouble as now when the next generation was slowly rising up to take up the mantle from the last one.
'Just a few more years of peace… just a few more.' Abraham thought to himself as he slowly turned his gaze to look through the window and to the outside.
