A/N This is Nessie's point of view to my previous (on-going) story 'A New Life'.

Most of the chapters will align with the chapter's in the other story, but i'll warn you if it starts getting a little more higgledy piggledy!

Thanks for reading and please please review. let me know what you think!

Chapter 1

Ahh...I sighed to myself. The sun was shining and I could feel the heat against my already warm skin. Leaning against the white driftwood, I picked up a handful of sand then let it fall lazily through my fingers.

While I watched the waves beat gently against the shore, I wondered what Jacob as up to. I knew he was in his wolf form somewhere nearby keeping up to date with the pack, and it wouldn't be long until he came to meet me here.

I heard footsteps heading towards me. They didn't sound like the deft, graceful beats of my Jacob, they were louder, more clumsy on the sand. It was a human for sure. I looked up when I judged that they were close enough for someone 'normal' to notice them, and saw a guy I didn't recognise. He was built quite big, and had a look in his eyes that I knew.

"Hey gorgeous" he started, I could smell alcohol on his breath, even though he was still a few feet away. I knew where this was going. Apparently, I was really good looking to human eyes, but when I saw myself in the mirror I could only focus on my imperfections. I would never be as pretty as my parents. Of course, they disagreed.

With a sigh, I sat up to look at him. He wasn't exactly ugly, but his slightly disfigured nose implied he must play some sort of sport. He had obviously been waiting for a reply, or a blush or something from me, but it wasn't going to happen. Undeterred, he carried on.

"So, what's a girl like you doing here by yourself? Why don't you let me keep you company" he made to sit down with me. I looked up the beach to see a group of guys stood around drinking beers, blatantly watching us.

"Actually" I said getting up. "I'm waiting for my boyfriend. He won't be too happy if you don't leave me alone."

He chuckled. Obviously nobody turned this guy down.

"I don't see anybody coming. Why don't you just come for a walk with me and we can just talk or something" he smirked when he said the words 'or something.' Could he be anymore annoying?

Just as he reached out to grab my arm, I heard a growl. It was so familiar to me I relaxed straight away, even starting to smile a little bit.

My Jacob walked up behind me and grabbed the guy's hand. I could see him wincing, Jake was probably squeezing it almost enough to break a couple of fingers. However, he wouldn't actually break them. He wouldn't do anything that might get police involved. It was too complicated. What with the Chief being my Granddad, and our big family secret to hide, there was just no point crossing lines.

Jake let go of the guy's hand and growled at him "stay away from my girl."

The guy took back his hand quickly, but didn't give up.

"What if she doesn't want me to stay away? Hey gorgeous, what do you say?" he had a smug look on his face, as if I would actually go with him. What an idiot.

I didn't say anything out loud, but I put my hand against Jacob's arm and showed him what I thought of this guy.

Before I could stop him, Jacob curled his shaking hand into a fist and punched him hard in the face. I heard the crack and smelt the blood at the same time.

"Time to go" I said, grabbing Jacob and dragging him away from the guy and his advancing gang of friends.

I could hear them saying "what did he do that for?" and "Tony, you alright mate?" and "holy cow man, your face is fucked."

I was starting my first day of school tomorrow. I hoped this wouldn't affect it.

A/N Like I sais before - Please review!! Constructive criticism is good too.
