It has been three days since Callista's heart gave out. Three days since the pack lost the most important thing to them. Sam hasn't stopped crying, Paul has gotten angrier and Jared well he has locked himself in his moms house with the twins. His mom has been looking after them whilst her son has gone catatonic. Rosalie has gone rogue looking for the person who caused harm to Callie, Emmett by her side instantly. The two not wanting to be anywhere near Bella. Carlisle has contacted Billy and told him that he will keep Callie at the house until arrangements are made. Everyday Alice goes to the room and lays flowers in there and brushes Callie's hair and changes her clothes. No one understands why she does it but Alice doesn't want to have her looking a mess when the time comes to lay her to rest.
As the Cullen's are sat in the living room there is a knock on the door, Carlisle going to answer it immediately. When he sees Billy and Jake there he is shocked. Jake looks to his dad nodding his head. Billy looks like he hasn't slept for days and Jake looks even worse.
"Billy, Jacob what can i do for you?"
"We would like to see Calli....."
Billy stops and takes a deep breath as tears fall from his eyes once more. His heart broken for the ray of sunshine that is Callie. Carlisle opens the door wider and watches as Jake picks his dad up in the wheel chair effortlessly and takes him up the stairs. Carlisle shows them to where Callie is and gives them some privacy. Billy rolls to her and lays a necklace on her and takes her hand into his. When he still feels the warmth he looks to Jake confused.
"She isn't cold?"
"Dad what are you talking about?"
"Jake she has been here for three days. Her body temperature is the same as yours."
The door to the room opens and Alice walks in smiling at the two. She walks to Callie and brushes her hair and then makes sure she is presentable.
"Alice what are you doing?"
"I too noticed the temperature. I don't know if it is possible but i don't think she has gone. I just needed to know if anyone else felt the temperature thing too."
Alice asks them to follow her and the two do going into the living room where the Cullen's are sat. The door to the house opens and Rosalie and Emmett walk in looking smug. Jake knows that means one thing.
"You killed him."
"Yep. It may not bring Callie back but at least he paid for it."
When Edward and Bella walk in Rosalie growls, Emmett holding her back from attacking. Edward hears Alice's thoughts and gasps.
"Alice are you sure?"
"Yes. Go and check."
Edward zooms to the room and seconds later comes back in shock. Alice smiling wider.
"Alice, Edward what is wrong?"
"Callie. Her body temperature is still hot even though she should be stone cold right now."
Carlisle looks at Billy and then to his family. He sees Jasper's eyes go black and knows the Major is taking control.
"Major do you know something?"
"Carlisle Jasper has been picking up emotions the last day or so. At first he thought it was the grief but when Billy and Jacob came in he got hit with there grief. I think he is picking up Callie's emotions, it is like a dull ache. It is like she is still present but she is in some sort of death coma. Billy is there any legends..."
Billy suddenly gasps and Major says i take that as a yes.
"Jake i need you to phase and head to Sam, tell him to get the trinket and the talisman. He will know what i mean."
Jake wastes no time and rushes to Sam's. Billy looks to Carlisle and Edward reads his mind.
"Are you sure Billy?"
"Edward our tribe have had the best sears the supernatural world have ever seen. The time that they foresaw the guardian wolf they also mentioned another story. It is said that the blood of Taha Aki our first ever shifter was going to be running through the veins of one of our future shifters. Although we all have his DNA in our systems, it is says that this person would have nothing but pure blood running through them. They would be the link that held the pack and they would be truly immortal. The sear said that when an act of true love or sacrifice is done this person would not truly be dead and that three elements of our ancestors would help restore there health. The necklace i just placed on Callie being one, the trinket that will contain the blood of all the pack and the talisman that belonged to Taha Aki himself. The person is someone Taha Aki spirit chose to lead the pack into the next generation."
Rosalie sits forward and looks hopeful at Billy. Emmett praying silently that this is going to work. They have never felt pain like they did the moment Callie's heart stopped.
"Billy are you saying that Callie is still alive?"
"I don't want to get anyone's hopes up but there is a possibility that Callie is more than just the Guardian Wolf she could possibly be the chosen daughter of Taha Aki himself."
They all sit there with shock on their face. Even when Sam, Paul and Jake come rushing back in the don't flinch. Sam looks at Billy with hope in his eyes.
"Billy do you think Callie is it?"
"Sam i don't want....."
"Billy please. I can't go through life without my sister there. Jared needs her and so do her kids. You wouldn't of asked for these if you didn't think there was a possibility."
"I think she could be Sam. Her body is still at the same temperature as you guys when by now it should be stone cold."
Paul looks to them all like they have gone mental.
"Why are you all still here. Lets go and get this over with."
Paul walks to the room where his sisters body currently is. He stops by the door and takes a deep breath before walking in. When he sees her he smiles to himself, she looks like she is sleeping her skin still looking flushed. He walks over and takes her hand into his and then kisses her head.
"If you can hear me Tink we are going to bring you back. You need to come back for Jared, Hunter and Nevaeh. Plus who else is going to kick our butts on fifa. Please Callie come back to us."
Tears fall from his eyes and land on her face. Sam walks in and takes her other hand and then he looks to Paul.
"We do this for Callie."
"For Callie."
Billy comes in moments later and goes to the foot of the bed. They wait for Jenson, Old man Quil and Sue to arrive before they can begin. When the three turn up the look to Billy and then to Callie.
"I knew she was special but damn this is unbelievable if it is true."
"In all fairness it would make sense been as she is the mother of a knew breed of Quilette wolves."
"What do we need to do?"
Billy asks them to step forward and tell them to take of their family ring. The four take of the rings, one representing a Quilette family.
"What do the rings represent?"
Billy looks to Carlisle and smiles.
"Our tribe are now a link of four. Each ring will represent a loyalty to Callie, Jared, Nevaeh and Hunter."
"So they are like royalty."
"In a sense yes."
Billy, Jenson, Old man Quil and Sue place the rings on Callie's chest each one saying their name and that they honor her and her family. Then Billy gets Jenson to dip the rings in the packs blood, then he goes to her and pours it into her mouth slowly so it can trickle down her throat. Old man Quil takes the necklace and dips it into the blood then lays it on her. The talisman is the last to be dipped in the blood and then placed on her chest too. The four council members link hands, Jenson taking Callies left hand into his whilst Billy takes her right. They close their eyes and say a chant. The Cullen's, Jake, Sam and Paul watch as they chant over and over until a glow forms from the Necklace and Talisman. The four rings start to glow too and then they hear it, the one sound that they have missed for the past three days.
Ba bump, Ba bump, Ba bump. Ba bump.
All eyes turn to Callie's body all of them preying that it has worked. As they watch, it seems like hours are passing by when in fact it is seconds. The necklace and talisman stop glowing, followed by the rings. Billy, Jenson, Sue and Old man Quil put there heads down. Sam and Paul look to them and shout no. Tears are streaming from Pauls eyes as he begs his dad.
"Please, i will do anything just bring her back please. DAD!!"
"Damn Pauley do you have to be so loud."
"Tink not now we are trying to save...."
Paul snaps his head to his sister and when he sees those eyes that have haunted his dreams for the past three days he sinks to the floor. The tears cascading Paul not caring who sees. Sam pulls Callie in for a hug and says thank god over and over again.
"Bloody hell Sam i can't breathe."
"I don't care we thought you had gone Tink."
"Well im not i am here. Now where is that handsome devil of mine and wait...."
Callie feels her stomach and starts panicing.
"Sam where are my babies? What happened?"
Sam nods to Jake to go and get Jared and the kids. Paul telling the rest of the pack they need to get to Sams as soon as possible.
"Tink let Carlisle just make sure you are okay and then we will head home okay."
Callie nods and can't help but feel a pit in her stomach. Why is Jared not here? and what the hell happened to the twins?. Carlisle checks Callie over and is amazed to find she is restored to normal health. The council bow down to her and then Rosalie crushes her into a hug followed by Emmett. After saying her thanks and goodbyes she heads over to the cameron house with Sam and Paul.
Melody is in the house with Leah and Seth helping her with the babies. Her son just not capable of moving or doing anything. There is a knock on the door and Melody goes to answer it, she smiles sadly when she sees Sam and Paul but when they separate and she sees Callie she gasps.
"Callie."
"Hi Melody. Is Jared here?"
"I thought you..."
Sam looks to Melody and smiles.
"It is a long story but we will explain everything. Callie wants to see Jared first."
"Sure."
Melody lets them in and then pulls Callie to her.
"I am so glad your alive princess."
"Thanks Melody."
They walk into the living room and when Callie sees Seth and Leah with two kids she looks to Sam and Paul who smile and nod. Leah and Seth just stare at her in shock.
"Is that..."
Melody walks to her and takes her hand before leading her closer to Seth and Leah. Leah hands her Hunter and Seth hands her Nevaeh. Callie looks at the two and feels her heart swell with pride.
"They are so perfect."
she looks at her two gorgeous babies and the tears fall down her face. Because of Bella's jealousy she had to have the babies earlier and then lost three days of bonding with them.
"I'm so sorry babies. I promise from this moment on I will protect you with my life so will your dad..."
She looks up to Melody and frowns.
"Where is Jared?"
"He is in his bedroom. Hasn't left for three days since you..."
"So who has been looking after the kids?"
"Me, Leah and Seth."
Callie growls and Melody can't help but smirk, she takes Hunter from her and Sam takes Nevaeh telling Paul to go and watch Callie. She stops outside of Jared's room and knocks before walking in. The room is dark the curtains drawn. Callie stands there with her hands on her hips.
"Who the hell died."
Jared snaps his head to her and gasps.
"Callie."
