"I have, you think 'they' broke the treaty? I don't believe 'they' would do it." Billy Black, the man on the wheel chair replied as he was holding a glass of water in his hand, taking a slow sip before placing it back onto a table.
"You're right, I also don't think that they did it. And from what I heard, they were kids messing with drugs, could just be that they overdosed somewhere or left the city." The other man replied as he took out his pipe and placed it on the table.
"It's likely… but we can't be too on guard with 'them' still being around. Have to raise them border patrols for a few weeks atleast. Just in case." Billy replied as he shook his head, a tired exhausted sigh escaping his lips, his voice turning more gravelly from exhaustion as he turned his head to face the window on his right.
"I just hope that everything goes well. The new generation… they still aren't ready, but I guess… they have to be. Jacob has started showing signs of awakening aswell recently. It's likely because of the close proximity to them." Billy muttered, his exhaustion clearly showing, as his eyes seemed to not be seeing what was infront of him for a moment, instead replaying a moment from a time long past.
"That's good, means the boy can protect himself and those around him." The other old man replied, in a way trying to reassure Billy, that this wasn't a bad thing, it was to them afterall, merely natural, an honour even.
"I know… but as you know… Sam and the others, there's been a lot going on these days, I miss the days where we had nothing more to worry but the baseball games." Billy muttered as he turned to face the other man once more.
"Speaking of, heard your friends daughter came back. How's Charlie feelin about it? He happy?" The other man said as he tried to lighten up the conversation once more.
At the mention of Charlie Swan, Billie's expression changed almost instantly to a more light hearted one as his eyes seemed to light up, he released a low chuckle as he shook his head for a moment.
"He doin good. Sold him my old truck to give to her as a gift, and the girl seemed to really like it too. He's been talking about her coming over for months, and when she finally did, he looked as awkward as ever, can't even talk to his own kid, he certainly hasn't changed much. But it shows, the care… he's a good man as always." Billy replied as his lips slowly formed a smile at the memory of the day he had handed the old orange truck over and the sight of the hidden joy in Charlies eyes at seeing his little girl actually happy about a gift that he had given her.
It was at that moment that another presence arrived inside the house as the front door was practically slammed open.
"Dad, heard Bella got almost hit by a van today. She survived thankfully."
A voice said, it was a young man with dark brown hair and tanned skin, he seemed slightly higher than average in height and his body overall semeed to be atleast vaguely fit, not muscly yet but it gave a sight that looked like the man had atleast been training for a few months.
This was Jacob Black, son of Billy Black and childhood friend of Bella Swan.
Billy's and the other man's eyes widened as they turned to face Jacob.
"She almost got hit by a van? What happened? She's okay? That's that's good but tell me everything, your basically skipping to the end son." Billy said as his voice shook slightly at the start before Jacobs words about Bella being fine registered and he slowly calmed down.
Jacob nodded as he walked and sat down next to the other old man, who was an elder of the Quileute Tribe.
Finally after settling down on the couch, Jacob started speaking once more.
"Yeah, from what I heard from other people, she was outside at the parking lot before Forks High and this kid who was driving lost control of his van in the snow and the car swerved but before it could hit Bella, Edward Cullen saved her." Jacob replied, his voice losing its excitement slightly as he arrived at the end of his sentence, Edward Cullen wasn't particularly one of his favourite people on the planet. Infact, if Jacob had to be honest with himself, he was most probably one of the most hated people in his mind.
'That damned… bastard.' Jacob thought inside his mind, as his teenage mind already started forming images of Bella and the bastard together before he shook his head as quickly as he could and focused back on the conversation at hand.
Unlike Jacob who only had a slight cold expression at the mention of Edward, Billy Black and the other elder had a much worse reaction, their faces souring almost instantly.
"The Cullen boy… that… that is good I suppose… but if he exposed himself… that would be quite the offence." Billy muttered to himself as he looked out the window once more at the falling sun, his expression showing clearly that he had once more retreated deeply inside his thoughts at this new piece of information.
