Bella goes to the meadow where Laurent tries to kill her. Instead Bella phases, and joins the pack. Alice has a vision that Laurent was attacking Bella and Edward goes to Italy. The Cullen family go back to Forks to get Bella to save Edward. Sorry for the really crap summary.
Chapter One: Bella
Laurent stalked closer. "Don't worry. I'll make it quick…" He breathed seductively in my ear, running a cold hand down my cheek.
It was his touch that unfroze my limbs. Anger, fear, betrayal, self-preservation all flooded through me at the same time setting my limbs on fire. I would not die here by the hand of a vampire. I had to survive. For Charlie. For Jacob. For…. Edward.
I was visibly shaking now, the heat rushing through my veins, burning in my chest. I had to release it or I would burn alive.
Laurent seemed to think I was shaking for fear. "Do not be afraid… It will be over soon." His hand stretched out to brush the hair away from my neck.
That did it.
With one final shudder of heat, the fire exploded from me, blowing Laurent back several steps.
My new eyes were sharper than my old ones, and they saw every insignificant detail around me. The sunlight through the branches, the waving grass. The glittering vampire before me.
Laurent's scent drove me mad. Before the scent had been appealing, now it was revolting. It was sweet, too sweet and it burned my nose. It was an abomination. It had to be destroyed.
I was vaguely aware of black fur that flopped over my eyes, almost to my jaws. I could feel the razor sharp canines in my mouth.
Laurent was back on his feet. "It is not possible."
I snarled a contradiction, then attacked.
What was I thinking? I knew vampires were fast, and strong, I would have no chance. My body disagreed. Blind instinct drove me forward, teeth snapping, claws outstretched.
I was fast. Faster even, I think, than Laurent. His movements, fast as they were, were nothing compared to mine. Even so, he managed to evade me until I lunged forward and clamped my fangs around his leg.
He howled, and I growled back in triumph, tearing at his leg. With a shocking metallic screech that I remembered from my encounter with James, his leg tore free and I flung it back into the trees, disgusted to have such a repulsive thing in my mouth.
Laurent was helpless now, lying on the ground and I set to work, tearing him to pieces until I finally tore his head away from what remained of his torso.
I threw back my head and howled in triumph, I Bella Swan had just killed a vampire.
In the absence of bloodlust, I realized I wasn't alone. There were voices in my head, whispering, a chorus of words, sounds, emotions, scenes flooded into my head, clamouring for attention. I whined, pawing at my fur covered ears. Shut up! I yelled mentally.
Silence.
Slowly, in the trees opposite me, ten enormous wolves, each twice the size of a horse stepped into the clearing.
They were in a loose V formation, point was a huge jet black wolf, to the left of which was a dark brown with a flash of white on the muzzle. To the right was a red/brown russet wolf that reminded me so much of…. Jacob.
Hey Bella!
Jake's voice bounced around my mind. I had heard him!
Hell yeah you heard me! How did you do that?
What? Why could I hear Jake's thoughts? Could he hear mine?
Yeah I can hear your thoughts Bells, how did you phase?
Instantly all the voices were back. They weren't as jumbled up as before, but they were still confusing.
She's not Quileute is she?
Damn girl! That was some fine vamp killin!
Shut up Paul.
You shut up you moron!
Oh my gosh, Bella?
How the hell did you phase Bella?
ALL OF YOU SHUT IT!
The last mental voice was accompanied by the lead wolf- the black one, growling at the others. The voice was familiar. In fact, all the voices were. I had heard them before, once at Billy's.
The black wolf- Sam.
The brown/white- Jarred
The light grey- female, unmistakably Leah. (yeah I know she doesn't phase until Eclipse, but I wanted her to be Bella's friend so deal with it. Seth hasn't phased yet though, but he knows about all the wolf stuff.)
Chocolate brown- Quill (yeah I know, he hasn't phased either, but too bad.)
Russet- Jacob
Now I realized where he had been the past few weeks. I knew, and I forgave him.
It went on.
I knew I should be in shock, but somehow it all made sense. Except for one thing. I was a wolf too. From the flashes of thoughts that I picked up from the other wolves, it was mean to be a Quileute genetic thing, and as far as I knew, I wasn't Quileute. I hadn't even lived in Forks for an extended period of time until now!
Nice guesses Bella, you got them all right, and no, we don't know why you phased either.
Sam seemed to be in charge, so instead of turning to Jake and demanding to know why the hell he hadn't told me about this before, I walked slowly up to Sam and stopped, trying to search for what to say.
I didn't need to. Sam read all my emotions and gave a wolfy shrug. We're just as stunned as you are Bella. No-one out of our family has ever phased before. Even more rare, you are a female. The Leah is the only female we know of that has phased, but she has strong Quileute bloodlines.
I was trying to process all this information. Apparently we could phase on will, busting into giant wolf beings. I caught a glimpse of myself in Jake's mind, and saw a huge shaggy wolf with hair that dragged almost to the ground. I looked like a walking mop.
Jake barked a laugh when he heard that.
Sam's mind seemed amused, but he was straight back down to business. Bella, I don't know what this means, but you have phased, and that means you are part of the pack, and part of the family.
From before when Sam had told them to shut it, they had, but now they all started talking again, welcoming me. And for the first time in a long time, I felt at home.
Go figure.
