Chapter 19 - Meeting with the Elders

                                    

                                          
The next morning, Harley was at the treaty line an hour early with a sketchbook in her hands. She was sitting on a rock sketching as Sam and the 3 elders approached.
"Harley Beck?" The man Harley didn't recognize asks.
Harley looks up with a bored expression. "That's me." She says before closing her sketchbook and putting it in her bag along with the pencil she was using. She shoulders her bag before standing and walking over towards them.
"I'm Quill Alterra IV, you've met Billy, Harry, and Sam." He introduces and Harley nods once. "We wanted to talk to you about you being in town."
"What about it? I've been here since January."
"We just wanted to make sure no locals were getting hurt." He says and Harley snorts.
"Yeah. I'm not hurting anybody."
"We wanted to offer you a treaty."
"Uh-huh." She says. "And why would I want a treaty with you? I'm not doing anything to hurt anybody."
"We want to offer you the same deal as the Cullens. You hunt animals on that side of the line, never cross into the reservation, and don't bite a human and we don't kill you." Quill says and Harley starts laughing hysterically. "I don't see what's so funny."
"Okay. There are things wrong with what you just said." Harley says after finally calming down.
"What's that?" 
"1. I don't drink animal blood and 2. You couldn't kill me even if you tried." Harley says
"But you're a vampire. You just kill people." Sam says
"I don't kill anyone." 
"But you are a vampire right?" Billy asks
"Not quite."
"Then what are you?" Harry asks
"Did me flashing my eyes at you not help you figure that out, or the fact that you're alpha over there submitted to me but command?" Harley asks with a raised brow.
"You submitted to her?" Harry questions Sam.
"Yeah." Sam says sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.
"You guys also have legends about me. Most tribes do." Harley says.
They four still looked confused until Harley flashed her tribrid eyes again. Harry had a look of realization. "You're the tribrid." he says
"Yup. Tribrid Harley Beck. Nice to meet ya." Harley says with a smile.
"I can't believe you exist." Billy says
"Yeah most people that have heard legends about me say that. Look, I'm not in town to harm anyone. I literally threw a dart at a map and it landed here. You won't have any trouble from me as long as you don't cause me any trouble."
"We don't want any either." Quill says
"How do you drink blood?"
"Blood bags. I don't harm people. Not if I don't have a reason to."
"What would be a reason to harm a person?" Sam asks
"If they tried to attack or kill me or someone I care about."
"Why not feed off of animals like the Cullens?"
"Because I'm not the same type of vampire for 1. Two, it tastes disgusting I can barely keep animal blood down, and three it makes my magic go out of whack. I need human blood to keep my strength up, which is why I use blood bags....Are we going to have a problem?" Harley asks and the elders look at each other.
"No." Billy says. "Based on the legends you are kind and strong amongst many other things. We just ask that if you hunt, you don't do it here."
"Like I said, I use blood bags. And if you'd like, I can train Sam. When he tried to attack me, it was way too easy for me to fend him off." Harley says and Sam looks embarrassed. "You're new to it. It's nothing to be embarrassed about Sam. Even though I'm a pureblood and you're a shifter, it took me a while to get used to fighting in wolf form. It would be the same for you." Harley tells him.
Sam looks to the elders. "It's fine with us." Quill tells him and Sam nods to Harley. Quill then turns to Harley. "Just follow the rules of the Res while you're on it. No feeding on any of us, changing, or attacking any of us."
"You got it." Harley says with a nod.
"Then you're welcome on our land anytime." Harry says.
"Thank you." Harley replies before turning to Sam. "You have a phone?"
"Uhh...yeah." He says as he pulls it out of the shorts pocket. 
Harley walks over to him and takes it out of his hand. She puts her number in. "Here's my number." She says handing his phone back to him. "Give me a call if you ever need my help with anything." Harley says with a smile. "Feel free to pass it on to these three." Harley says pointing to the elders.
"Thank you." Sam says with a smile.
"You're welcome. If that's all, I should go check on Bella." Harley says
"That's all." Quill says.
"Great. It was nice meeting you all. Bye." Harley says before speeding away.
"She's sweet...sarcastic, but sweet." Sam says
"If the legends about her are true, she will be a good ally to have." Harry says
"Jake has hung out with her and Bella when Bella first moved to town. He said that she was a really nice and funny person." Billy says
"I guess we will find out for ourselves." Sam says.
