Chapter 1: Can you understand me?
Bella turned over in her sleep and landed onto a hot chest. She starts for a second before she recognized her imprint's pressence. Satisfied that it was her imprint she snuggled into Jacob's warmth and just breathed in his scent feeling her body go limp and relax. In his sleep Jacob's arms wrapped around her pulling her closer and a hand stroked her hair causing Bella to sigh in contentment. At her sigh Jacob shifted a little keeping her on his chest. Once he'd settled Bella turned over onto his chest resting her chin on her hands that lay on his chest so she could gaze at his face so relaxed in sleep it was almost as if he were a boy again. He must have sensed her gaze on him because after a few moments Jacob opened his eyes then rubbed the sleep out while giving a big yawn. She smiled at how reminiscent of a sleepy toddler he looked first thing in the morning.
"Good morning, how did you my warrior sleep?" I asked sweetly.
Jacob froze from rubbing his eyes and just blinked looking at me strangely.
"What"s wrong" I asked worriedly while I stroked his broad, firm chest soothingly.
Jacob then said something that I had never heard before in her life. It made absolutely no sense. It sounded like a bunch a weird sounds that had no rhyme or reason.
"Jacob why are you speaking gibberish?" I asked confused and his eyes got big for some reason.
Jacob then sat up pulling me with him before grabbing both my arms and looked me in the eyes.
"Bella, can you understand me?" he asked me slowly searching my eyes.
"Yes...why are you talking like that." I replied which turned his face to one of complete shock. That paired with the wide eyes made his expression comical and I would have laughed if he didn't let go of my arms and got out of bed. He started pacing back and forth across the room raking his fingers through his hair while muttering to himself which he did whenever something was really bothering him.
"Jacob, what's wrong? Why won't you tell me?" I asked panicked because I could feel all his conflicting emotions through the imprint.
He stopped pacing when he heard how panicked I sounded. He came back over to kneeled in front of me and took my hands."Bella, I wasn't speaking english." he replied looking up at me.
I furrowed my brow at that."But your speaking english right now."
"No beautiful we're speaking Quilete right now." he said looking at me carefully.
"But I don't know a word of Quilete. How is that possible? Why is this happening to me?" I asked. I started gasping for air in my panic because I was so overwhelmed. I didn't know what was happening to me or why. People don't just wake-up speaking another language entirely and forget the language they spoke their whole life in one night. As soon as he heard my breathing change he was pulling me close wrapping his arms around me. Being in his arms gave me overwhelming feeling of safety, comfort, and his love for me. After a few seconds my breathing rerturned to normal. Jacob kissed me tenderly on my forehead rubbed my back. He knew exactly what to do to make me relax and calm down.
"Don't worry just get dressed and we'll go straight to Sam and Emily's so I can talk to him about what's going on. We'll figure this out. Okay?" he said.
"Okay." I replied pulling away so I could get dressed.

Once we were both dressed we got in his car and headed straight to Sam's house. When we got their we both got out the car and Jacob grabbed my hand as we were walking to the front door. From outside I could hear the guys usual joking and play fighting going on. We walking right into the house like we always do at Sam's. Now that we were inside I could hear them more clearly and it sounded like the same gibberish Jacob spoke to me first thing this morning. I heard alot of them saying things then I heard my name so I looked up and they kept saying something to me but I didn't understand. I looked at them confused and didn't answer because I didn't know what they asked. My silence then got everybody's attention and they quited down. Sam walked out of the kitchen with Emily beside him to see what was going on to cause the absence of noise. Jacob then put his arm around me pulling me into his side rubbing my arm. Jacob stared talking and I'm guessing told everybody what happened this morning. As he was talking everyone's faces confusion to shock which made their eyes widen then confusion were so shocked they had even stopped eating which is saying alot. If it were any other situation it would have been funny but right now it wasn't funny at all. When Jacob was done Sam then started talking and I looked up but I stopped paying attention since I didn't understand a word of it anyway. So I lookde back at the guys they still hadn't started back eating yet but all their eyes were on me now. They were looking at me like they were kind of fascinated but their was still alittle confusion there. It made me kind of uncomfortable. Jacob then stroked my cheek gently withthe back of his finger and said my name to get my attention.
"Bella" I looked up at him when he said my name softly.
" Sam and I are going to go talk to the elders and see if they know anything. We'll be back as soon as we can. Don't worry nothing will happen to you here. Everything will be okay." he told me softly but I knew the other could hear with their wolf hearing.
I nodded my head. After Jake gave me a soft kiss on the lips and a hug they left. Everyone just stared at the door they just went through for a few moments then at the same time everyone's eyes shifted back to me. It was so uncomfortable because nobody was saying anything just staring at me. Emily of course was the first one to snap out of it and she came up to me slowly and smiled kindly like she always does and said something softly.
That again left me confused which is happening way to frequently lately and I don't like it. So I decided I would try to communicate with her this time and hope she would be able to understand me.
"Emily can you understand me because I can't understand anything you're saying." I said a little panicky.
She then looked a little surprised despite what she heard but replied anyway." Yes I can understand you perfectly. You're speaking quileute perfectly."
I heaved a huge sigh of relief, "Oh thank you. This is scaring me. All I did was wake-up this morning and Jacob tells me I'm not speaking english. How the hell is this happening?Who forgets and learns a language over night." I said quickly.
"It's okay. Everything is going to be fine just sit down and eat something. Relax they'll be back in no time then we'll figure this out." she said soothingly. She then grabbed my arm gently and guided to a open chair and made me sit down while she got me some food.
They guys were still staring at me their food untouched. I now felt relaxed enough to find that funny. This was the longest I ever saw them go without eating or talking. I laughed at them. " If you guys don't eat your food and stop staring at me I'm going to eat your bacon." I said in quileute smiling at them hoping they spoke quileute well enough to understand me. They did because they all snapped out of it and grabbed their plates turning to the side so I couldn't reach their food.
"You steal my bacon and you have to make me breakfast for a week." Embry said in quileute smirking still turned to the side away from me.
" So all of you can understand me?" I asked them looking around the table at all of them so I knew who I could speak to. They all nodded now not being able to talk becuase they were to busy stuffing their faces again which was the norm.
Emily then came back with my plate of food and put it in front of me, and I thanked her.
" Your welcome.I'm sorry but the guys have all the bacon." she said apologetically.
"Oh that's okay, that just means that one of them will have to share." I said smugly. "So who wants to really sweet and share their bacon with me." I said giving them my sweetest smilie.
They all looked around at each other trying to see who was going to give up their bacon. I was sitting across from Quil so I thought I'd try him first. "Quil, won't you share with me?" I asked sweetly giving him my puppy dog eyes.
It worked for a second but then he shook his head fast. He said "No, no I can't. I'm in love with this bacon I've been looking forward to this bacon all night on patrol." I pouted a little but picked my next target. I had to move fast because if I waited too long everybody would eat their bacon. I turned to Embry who was sitting next to me and he had about eight pieces of bacon.
"Embry...?" I said softly. He turned towards me with his mouth full completely unawarely of what I was planning.
"Yeah?" He asked around the food in his mouth.
"Can you please give me some of your bacon?" I did the puppy dog eyes again which I knew for sure would work on him. Over time we had become really close and developed a strong brother and sister relationship. He hardly ever denied me anything I asked him for and vice versa. I could tell from the look on his face he was getting sucked in. He looked like he was having a inner battle with himself about whether or not he was going to give me some. It was too funny but I had to keep my puppy dog face so I tried really hard not to laugh. He finally shook his, "Nuh uh, no I cannot give up my bacon. You know it's my favorite." He whinied picking his plate up to guard it.
"Fine you don't have to share." I agreed quickly. He looked surprised that I gave in so easily.
"Are you mad?" He asked nervously looking apprehensive. Smart boy. He was right to be nervous, he knew it was a little to good to be true.
"Of course not." I said and started eating my eggs and toasts. He looked at me supiciously for a few seconds. He looked like he believe me so he set his plate on the table and started eating sad for him, he should've followed his instincts. It was pretty quite except for the sounds of eating. Embry was so focused on his food that I knew if I was going to steal his bacon I had to do it now. I knew I had to be fast about it because the wolves had really fast reflexes. I looked around the table to see if anyone was paying attention to me. They weren't so I took my chance and tried to snatch some bacon. I almost grabbed some but by the time my hand reached where the plate was the whole plate was gone and Embry was out his seat. I jumped out of mine too and Embry held his plate above his head.
"Come on Embry give me some." I panted out as I started jumping up trying to reach the plate. It wasn't any use considering he was about 6 ft 6 without his arms up and I was only 5 ft 6.
"Nope not this time." Embry said just looking down at me while I kept jumping trying to reach his plate.
"Please", I half begged half whined pitfully all the while never seizing my fruitless efforts.
Everybody laughed just watching us go back and forth like we usually do. I finally stopped jumping and took a step back crossing my arms over my chest.
"Come on Embry. If you share I'll make you a big breakfast tomorrow." I said trying to sound persuasive. That got his attention I could practicely see his ears perk up.
"Really?" he asked sounding excited.
"Yeah I'll make eggs, bacon, sausage, toasts, pancakes, and frybread."
"Since when can you make frybread?" He asked curiously.
I thought on it for a second then shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know it just popped into my head. I know how to make it now."
" Well here you can have it all." He said eagerly putting all eight pieces of bacon on my plate.
Having heard this Quil, Jared, and Seth were promptly putting their last pieces of bacon on my plate too asking if I could cook for them as well. Jesus these boys were so easy. Emily was just laughing at the whole situation from the doorway of the kitchen.
"You don't fight fair." Embry pouted realizing he again had lost to me in the situation.
Everybody started we were laughing we heard the front door open and seconds later Jacob and Sam rentered the kitchen. Jacob came over promptly picking me up out of my seat so he could sit down and sat me in his lap. I happily munched on my bacon as he wrapped his arms around my waist and brushed his lips over my temple.
Eventually he looked down at my pile of bacon and lack there of on every other plate on the table. "Honey, why do you have a pile bacon?" He asked taking a piece for himself.
"Well at first there wasn't any bacon left and I tried to get them to share which of course they didn't." I mock glared at them. "But then I managed to get Embry to share by promising to make him a big breakfast tomorrow. And then everybody else wanted some so they gave me theirs too." I informed him.
Embry then said " Yeah she's making me the works. Eggs, pancakes, sausage, toasts, bacon and did you know she now knows how to make frybread?", he mused.
Jacob eyes got big. "Really?" He asked excitedly.
"Yes, all of a sudden I just know how to make it." I said absently.
"Wait... I get some too right." He asked anxiously like he had a reason to be. Anytime I cook he knows he gets it first or the most of it.
I laughed "Of course my warrior gets some." I said smirking then pecked him on his cheek.
They started laughing at my new nickname for him while Jacob simply beamed. Sam laughed along as too before he asked everyone to listen. Once everybody quieted down he finally spoke. He said "Okay so I'll speak in quileute so Bella can understand. That okay with everybody?"When he recieved all the nods he continued in quileute. "We told the elders of the situation and they also are unsure of the reason this situation happened. They want to have a bonfire tonight with only the pack and their imprints so we can talk about the situation. They would also like to speak with Bella."
It made me nervous that the elders wanted to speak with me. Sam must have sensed it because he looked at me and said "Don't worry Bella we'll figure this out tonight." Jacob's arms tightened around me silently giving me his support. So it was settled, we would get all our answers tonight.
*There's more to come. Please R&R Thanks ;)
