Laurent lifted his hand to strike me, to end my life and suck me dry. I know I had to take in the fact that a life without Edward wasn't going to be worth living in the first place so I would prefer dying. He said he would make it quicker than Victoria's way so I might at well spend my last heart beat on I and Edward's meadow.
"I love you Edward." Was all I could whisper and closed my eyes, waiting for the longing heaven to take me into its arms. But instead I felt nothing. I then got worried and thought that if opened my eyes Victoria would be talking in his ear telling him what to do to change his mind on killing me quick.
"I can't believe it!" I opened my eyes slowly to see a horse sized wolf emerging from the thick bushes and trees. He was Jet black with barded teeth. Growls were emitting from him as well as the next three large wolves. One was white, the other was grey and the last one was a russet brown. The russet brown one looked me dead in the eye. I felt completely planted on the ground. His fur, which I thought was mangy and long, was now glistening in the non existent sun light his brown eyes widened and he halted.
"What the hell?" I asked looking away from the wolf. I felt a little hurt but shook it off. I shouldn't be in love with this beautiful wolf. He couldn't love me. I couldn't handle the stress. Love wasn't meant to be part of my life. I learned that with Edward but I will still be waiting for him. No matter what.
I turned and walked off to where the trail had led to my truck. My thoughts were a haze in my head confusing me. My vision blurred and my head automatically hurt. Then I started to get hot. God dam woods. Always wet and humid. I stopped mid stride thankfully before tripping off a large tree root sticking out of the ground and grabbed my water bottle from my back pack. I chugged the whole thing down cooling off a little.
I heard a twig snap and looked behind me to see the same wolf that made my knees weak. He just sat there. Staring at me with his tong lolling out for I don't know how long. His tail wagged in a friendly matter but I didn't want to come home with a wolf twice the size of a horse. I shook my head and got up.
"Go away…" I saw his head drop down sadly and his tail stopped wagging slowly. My head hurt too bad to care though I just wanted to go home and take some pills then sleep. I rolled my eyes and turned back on the path and walked. While I was walking I thought about how I had hurt the wolf's feelings. I did care.
I walked and tripped on a twisted branch but I didn't fall all the way. I was ten centimeters from the ground and was hoisted back up on my feet. I turned around and saw the large wolf string at me. He caught me. That shouldn't have made me feel better but it did.
He grunted and pressed his wet nose on my stomach. I screeched and jumped back at the feeling. What does he want? Food! Aha! Of course. I hurriedly grabbed my two turkey sandwiches and held them near the wolf. He just looked at it but scooted closer. It was cautious though as if not to scare me. I unwrapped the foil from the sandwiches and threw them towards him.
"There…that should give me time to run." I whispered in relief and turned quickly to run. I ran but the headache came back and it was twelve times worse. My eyes blurred and I fell. My face hit the cold, moist dirt and my body began to burn. Again. I heard sniffing and saw the same annoyingly adorable and protective and he licked my face leaving a slimy mask across my face.
"Bella! It's Sam Uley. You have to get on his back. He will take you home to Charlie that way you can rest." Right now I didn't want to look at Sam. Though, I did wonder how he knew this wolf. My headache hit me harder so I quickly made the choice to get on his back and put my fingers through his hair. I looked at Sam and saw him nod at the wolf. The wolf took of making me jerk back but I stabilized my self and closed my eyes.
"God…you are way too fast." There was a low rumble in his back. I guess he was laughing or something then he ran faster. I loved the thrill. The cooling breeze. I could go like this forever. Too bad we were at Charlie's though.
The wolf lowered himself and I hopped off. I walked to the door and got my keys out. I looked back at the wolf with sad eyes and smiled softly. I got in and locked the door. I felt tired and sick. I wanted to just sleep.
"Hey kiddo! How was your day?" I saw Charlie emerge with a beer in his hand. He took in my appearance. "What the hell happened to you?" he asked.
"Nothing. I just had a rough day. My body hurts and I have a head ache. All I want to do is to take a bath and sleep. Please." I walked passed him and went into the bathroom to turn on the bath putting the plug in. I couldn't help but think of the wolf that gave me a ride home. I even wondered where my truck was. How did Sam know the wolf? How was he communicating with it? Why hoes my head and body hurt so damn much?
I shook my jumbled thoughts out of my head and poured bubble bath into the warm water. I took a step into the water and shivered at the amazing contact. I sighed and slipped my whole body in. my body relaxed at the heat but the throbs in my bones weren't feeling so good. So to cool myself, I took a deep breath, held it and sank fully underwater. My thoughts travel to a calming place.
I visualized the russet wolf. He wasn't alone though he had another wolf by him. It was jet black and as tall as him. They were happily playing. They rolled around on beautiful green grass and there were white butterflies flying around. It made my heart flutter. Though the vision turned dark and groggy and I saw piercing red eyes. There was a loud screech and Victoria ran at me.
I gasped in a lung full of water and launched myself into a sitting position. I looked around and saw nothing. Just our small bathroom. I relaxed and grabbed my strawberry vanilla body wash and scrubbed until I get the sweat and dirt from my body. It was still hurt but it was worse this time I could hardly move. My head hurt too my scull felt like it was about to explode.
I grabbed my kiwi shampoo and conditioner and washed my hair twice and rinsed it.
"Bells? You okay?" I jumped at the sound of Charlie's voice. It was tired and worn. It made me feel bad for him. I got out and unplugged the bath and wrapped a towel around me.
"I'm good dad. I'm just brushing my teeth…" I lied and grabbed two IbProphine tablets. Once I knew he was gone I went in my room and put the pills on my nightstand and dressed in an matching pink bra and underwear set and grey sweats with a large shirt.
I slipped into the kitchen for a glass of water and saw Charlie sitting at the kitchen table reading this morning's news paper.
"Sit Bells." Was all he said and I sat immediately. "What's going on? Are you ok?" I looked down and played with my cup. If he could know what I'm going through, he would know how I'm doing. I just shrugged. It was pretty hard because my bones were hurting.
"I'm just in pain. My body hurts, my head hurts and I keep feeling this pull in my heart toward something but I don't know what. I even saw wolves in the field today." I mention. I might as well come out with the truth anyway.
"What the hell were you doing in the woods Bella?" he looked angry but serious and registered so I know he was listening. Though he never questioned to the pain I have been feeling.
"I just wanted to get out of the house for a while. But I think I also found the reasons why people are dying. There are actually wolves two times the size of horses. Like really huge wolves! Then there was one…gosh dad…I know it wrong to be in love with a wolf but there was one that makes me feel like it is the only thing helping me survive." I shook my head and shrugged.
"I'm sorry Bella but you will know everything when the time is right." Was the only thing Charlie said before walking into the living room holding his newspaper. What. The. Hell? I shrugged my curiosity off and walked up stairs to my room holding the cup tightly. When did I start swearing? Gosh I'm cold. Not in temperature wise. I gulped down the two pills and fell onto my pillow not bothering to open the window. I didn't even feel like trying anymore.
I felt my eyes drift slowly. I remembered to turn out my light and slept the whole night without a dream.
BEEP! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
I groaned but kept my face on my pillow turned away from the sound. My had reached for it and tried to turn it ff. it wouldn't turn off that that just pissed me off. I hammered my fist on it two times and practically crushed it. Fuck my life! Watch your language geese!
When I die young,
Bury me in satin,
Lay I down on a-bed of roses sink me in a river,
At dawn,
Send me away with the words of a love-
I grabbed my phone and saw that it was Jacob and instantly pressed the end button. I wasn't going to be ignored and then called after all the pain I have been put through. I sluggishly lifted myself up and out of bed and grabbed some cloths from my closet. I chose to wear my matching grey A-cupped bra and underwear set and my blue owlet tee-shirt and grey jeans.
I placed them on my bed ad went to the bath room and started the shower. My body still hurt and this time it was worse. It crashed into me like a wave. I wanted to cry but I held my ground. I turned to the cabinet and looked at myself in the mirror. I wouldn't call my self, myself though. I didn't really look like it.
My hair was darker. Almost black. It hung low into my mid-back. My skin was darker and my eye brows were thinner but darker and more beautiful. My lips were fuller and my teeth were sharper and whiter. My eyes were more pronounced and brown with little flecks of ocean green. I wasn't expecting anything in me to change this much.
I undressed my self and saw my whole body changed. My legs, arms, abdomen and ass were muscular. I felt as though my breasts grew a size or two. My height was now from 5'3 to 5'7. Only four inches higher though. This fever did a lot on me.
I shook my head and happened in the shower and cleaned myself from head to toe. Once I was scrubbed clean, I wrapped a towel around myself securing it under my pits and raced to my room. There was still water in the cup from last night so I decided to use that to gulp down the next tablets I would take.
"Damn jeans! I hissed pulling them up. My bra didn't even fit and it was not comfortable enough. I sucked in as much stomach as I could but wasn't about to slip them on. So I gave in and put on some starchy sweats. I felt fat but I had curves and I wasn't too thin. Wow. I can never expect the unexpected I can tell you that much.
I felt my stomach growl and headed down the stairs to eat a granola bar. To tell you the truth, I gobbled that thing down. No crumbs were left and I was still hungry. I didn't want to de-head the fish and skin it. I was planning on going grocery shopping later today but my check from Newton's workshop wouldn't come. So I checked even more in the fridge and found some left over lasagna. I preheated it and took it out one it was nice and hot.
"God that smells good." I grabbed a fork and dug in. I finished surprised in about five minuets flat. Then I ended up thirsty so I drank a gallon of water and raced back to my room. I felt sleepy again and fell back to sleep.
Jacob's POV…
This sucks! Now Bella, my imprint! Is ignoring me! After I saw her in that field with that leech I tore him apart as fast as I could so I could get back to check out her. Wounds but she was fine when I got to her. She grew and looked different. She was warmer than usual.
Sam had some theories about her and how she had gotten that way. But I was pissed at myself to care about anything. I don't even want to go to the council meeting tonight but I had no choice. We missed some stupid legend. I never thought legends were stupid I just didn't want to hear this one.
"You ready Jake?" I rolled my eyes and stood up from my bed. I opened my door and saw my dad sitting in his chair looking up at me. I smiled lightly and began to wheel him out the front door. Once we were loaded into the truck, we started off on our twenty minuet drive to the beach.
Bella's POV…
This is the third day of my suffering and truthfully I can't take much of it anymore. I have been growling, yelling, and roaring every hours out of the pain. My body starts to vibrate from time to time. Charlie says that it will be over soon. But I don't even know what it is. The frustration is giving the a head ache and I'm practically about to scratch the skin off my body.
"Bella. I think you should come with me." Charlie looked cautious as he watched me vibrate in my bed. By now the shaking got worse within minuets. It was late and I was tired. Now he wasted to go out into the night?
"Why? I-I feel fine." I shook even more and felt a fire build up in my chest and I began to growl. I didn't mean to scare him.
"Bella come on please. I promise I will tell you later. You have to come. Please!" I jumped out of my bed and followed Charlie slowly. We read the door and once it was open I raced to the woods. Charlie was no where to be found. Though I did get here too fast.
"Bells?" I heard a familiar voice call. Great more annoying things can follow me now! I turned around and saw Sam and his little gang standing there with Charlie looking brave standing behind them. I growled warningly and the heat built up and filled my stomach. The pain was upsetting me and I didn't like it.
"Bella. I need you to listen to me." Sam lifted his hands and walked towards me slowly. Did he seriously want me to listen to him? He doesn't own me like he owns them! I started to see red and my breathing was heavy. My pulse quickened and I quaked.
"I don't have to listen to your ass! Leave me alone!" I snarled and bared my teeth as I back away into the cover of trees and bushes. The deeper I went the darker it got. My anger grew as Sam followed. What the hell? I turned quickly to run. I pushed my legs and ran faster. My heart pounded in my ears and the fire finally exploded and then went away instantly being replaced by a cold breeze.
'Bella, please…stop!' Sam called out. Now he was in my head. Though I instantly stopped feeling confused. I saw the large black wolf trot towards me with the other wolves following. I growled and back away. The black wolf lowered its head a plead with its eyes. I growled louder and back away until I fell backwards into some water.
I got up and looked down. At what seemed like my reflection. It was the face of the black wolf that was with the russet wolf. I stood and the wolf in my refection did the same. I looked at my back and saw a white tip on my tail. Then at the tips of my paws. I gasped and ran out of the water. My fur was wet and thick.
'Bella please look at me.' I turned towards the voice and saw the russet colored wolf. He rolled onto his back and showed his throat and stomach. I slowly went up to him and sniffed his stomach then licked his throat. I felt so safe and close with him. Like it was one with him. He was showing that I could be the dominant one. So sweet.
'Ha-ha. It's me, Jake!' he rolled back onto his stomach and looked at me. His nose touched mine and I rubbed my fore head against his. The black wolf came again along with those other wolves. Their tails wagged and their tongues lolled out. Even the black on looked as playful as them.
"What happened to me?" I knew he could understand me. This was Sam of course. He walked to me slowly and Jake rose standing by my side. Sam rubbed his giant head against my neck and I responded by licking his forehead. The others came by and rubbed against me.
;you are a werewolf. I'm even surprised on how well you are taking this even though you sort of freaked out a few seconds ago.' He lifted his head and barked out a laugh.
"I have been through with mutant things so I don't think I have to worry about being freaked out any more." I rolled my check on jakes and wondered why I had this pull o him.
'You feel that pull to me, bells, because we imprinted. Imprinting is when you find your true soul mate. You could be their brother, sister, mate, son, daughter, best friend, but no matter what they will always be your protector. They keep you alive. If you die…I follow you. Our souls will be together no matter what. I know that's not what you wanted but, I guess you're stuck with me. Forever.' He whined and bowed his head. I felt bad for him. I never felt the want for Edward anymore. I only wanted him and he needed to know that.
"Jacob Ephriam Black! Don't you dare think I don't want you! You are the best man I will ever know. I'm happy to be your imprint! I know I'm the luckiest girl in the world. You have broken my scale of love. I'm IN love with you. Never forget that." I growled and bit his nuzzle. He groaned and pulled away wildly licking my face. I never tool notice of the wolves that surrounded us.
Jake stopped and straightened up. I yawned and stretched. I laid down and put my head on my paws.
'Bella. We have to talk about how you're a wolf. Our legends say you were born to the alpha's father. The SECOND alpha. Meaning me. You are my little sister. My blood runs through your veins. Your wolf spirit and deep and you and Jake are future alphas. You already had say on some parts of the pack meaning they follow your every command. That's if you accept.' Sam looked at me with hopeful eyes. First I thought about Charlie. How he knew. How my mom hid this from him. He probably tried to protect me from the truth and my mom whored around with another man. I felt my anger grown but I instantly calmed as Jake lifted his paw and put one on my head.
"I need some time to…I-I" I felt tears well up in my eyes and I started to cry, I took off in a different direction and heard voices calling me but I automatically blocked them out and slowed to a stop. My wolfly sobs shook me. I plopped onto the ground and cried.
'Bella! I'm here baby.' Jake's scent filled my nose but I never opened my eyes. He sniffed me, checking for injuries. I curled up into a ball. I wanted to hide. I was probably a mess. 'You are so beautiful to me. I would never see you like that. Just to show you how much I love you, I will lay here with you until you're ready.' And he curled up by me and licked my head soothingly and his mind closed again as I fell asleep and he slept with me.
Alice POV…
I gasped as Bella's future disappeared. She didn't seem like she died though. It was something else. It was blur and I couldn't make out the shapes. I sobbed and growled.
"Alice? What's wrong?" Jasper gripped my shoulders softly and jerked me a little to awake me from my reverie. I felt my heart sink from what happened to my sister. We shouldn't have left.
"We have to go back to Forks."
Bella's POV…
I opened my eyes and felt the soft forest grass on my skin. The night's moon shined bright and it soothed me some what. I felt relaxed and purred in an animalistic way. I tried to sit up but was pulled down but something hot wrapped around my waist. I fell back with a thud. I looked down and saw a large arm wrapped around me. I looked at the person who held me. I saw the softest face of Jake. My Jake.
His lips in a little 'o' and his eyes closed with a smooth face breathing heavily. I traced his features. Once I got to his lips I had the urge to kiss him but held back. I didn't want to scare him. Not like you could. I rolled my eyes and ran my fingers through his really soft hair. I scratched and rubbed. His arm tightened around me and he pulled me closer. Our skin touched causing me to gasp and realize the fact we were both naked at the moment. I stopped my movements and tensed.
"Don't stop mommy…I love it when you wash my hair…" Jake moaned and looked like he was about to cry. He was dreaming about his mother washing his hair when he was a little boy. I rubbed his head and then I let my hands trail down to his face and I automatically kissed his lips softly not caring if he woke up. He opened his eyes and stared at me intensely. He inched his face closer to mine and tried to kiss me but we bumped heads.
"Ouch. Damn…sorry. I'm still new to the whole kissing. You have experience than me." He blushed and glanced at my lips hope filled.
"It's ok. Jake. I don't every thing either. We can take it slow. Okay?" he nodded but still wanted a kiss. We pecked a few times and stayed in each other's arms. I just then noticed we were naked. "Jake. We're naked and we have to throw on some cloths." I began to cover my self. Jake looked like wanted to protest but respected my orders and kept his eyes only on my face. Such a gentle man.
"So, do you accept me imprinting on you?" he looked down at his walking feet nervously.
"How could I not? I love you, Jake. I don't know why I never noticed sooner." I squeezed his hand and looked forward and saw my house emerge from the trees. We stayed silent and Jake kept a big, goody smile on his face.
"Bella!" I saw Sam motioning us to the back of the house where he was holding cloths for me and Jake. I think Jake was being possessive by hiding me behind him so no one saw me being naked. I almost forget that we were in the nude.
"Thanks Sam." I grabbed my cloths from him and I got dressed in some underwear and a bra that was way to small for my chest now and some shorts that were stretchy but still showed partially my ass. Then I put on a tank top what fit perfectly.
"Charlie wants to talk with you." Oh my gosh! Charlie, I forgot all about him! He must be heart broken. I can even smell salt in the air. He was crying and its all my mother's fault. I shook and growled and walked into the house. My body didn't stop shaking once I met him. His eyes were puffy and his nose was red. His eyes never had that shine in them.
"Im sorry Bells. I didn't know. I swear. She had me under her spell in believeing you were actually mine, I always wanted a mirical like you. I still love you. So much." My body shook t his pain. He thought I was mad at him but I was mad at my mom for lying, making him think I was his.
"You will always be my daddy. There is no need to apologize. I love you. You matter to me always. Renee is nothing. She is a lying slut who has nothing better to do with herself. I will make her pay for what she did you you!" my body shook worse and the fire tingled in my veins wanting release.
"Bells. Please calm down. I need you to stay calm baby. Ok?" he whispered calmingly. I took deep breaths and felt my self tense then calm down. Only for him. He would always be loved by me. I just cant contain my anger. Its really sad.
