AN: Hey this is my first story so any advice you have is great! Thanks for trying it out and I hope you like it!

Chapter 1:
She-Wolf

Leah's POV:

My brother and I had been sick all week with a fever. He got over it two days ago. He went out for a walk and came back hours later feeling much better. Weird? I was so desperate at this point that I went for a walk. Little did I know I'd end up in the middle of the forest as a wolf.

"What the hell?" I thought as I looked at my body. No longer was I a girl but a large grey wolf.

"Leah?" A voice in my head, that certainly wasn't my own, asked.

"Leah's a wolf?"

"How is that possible?"

"Dude, she's a girl!"

"Someone should get Sam!"

Voices kept filling my head with comments and I started to get dizzy.

"Leah! Can you believe this? Isn't it cool?" My brother's voice asked and suddenly a sandy colored wolf came trotting forward. A russet colored wolf followed not far behind.

"Seth?" My head was pounding now and concentrating was hard.

"Seth, go get something for your sister to wear." The small sandy wolf took off.

"Leah, Leah can you hear me? You've got to try phasing back." I recognized Jacob Black's voice as the russet wolf moved closer to me. "Come on Lee, you can do it."

Jacob's POV

I watched Leah try to calm down while waiting for Seth to come back. Two new wolves in the past three days wasn't good. Leah was even stranger, the rest of us were guys.

She finally seemed to relax and her brother ran back, now a human in a pair of shorts, just in time. He handed over a shirt that I recognized as my own. I had given it to him two days before when he phased back the first time.

I phased and threw on the shorts attached to my ankle. Leah was once again a human and shaking as Seth put the shirt on her covering her up.

I felt a strange pull towards her. I couldn't have imprinted on her. I had seen her dozens of times since I became a wolf. Could she have imprinted on me?

I helped her stand along with Seth and headed back to the house. About half way there she pushed us away and was walking on her own.

As we approached the Clearwater house Leah stopped and turned around. "After I get changed I want to know what the hell is going on!"

I nodded and we followed her into the house. Sam was in the living room.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?" Leah asked.

"Lee-Lee…"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"Leah it's your dad…"

All the anger left her face and she turned to face Sam, "What…?"

"He had a heart attack. Your mother is at the hospital, I was sent to get you and Seth."

A sob escaped Leah's throat and before Sam or Seth could move I was at her side comforting her, "Go get changed, then we'll go to the hospital."

Nodding she wiped her eyes as she hurried past Sam and up the stairs. Sam looked at me, "What's going on?"

"Leah phased." I answered as Seth moved by to grab a shirt from his room.

"You didn't…"

"Didn't what?"

"Imprint!"

"Same please, you know if I was going to imprint on Leah it would've been the first time I saw her after I phased." He seemed satisfied with my answer and I was glad. I didn't know what was going on but I felt a pull towards her. Not being with her now knowing she was upset hurt. But, it was different from what I'd seen through the other wolves' minds about their imprints.

"Why don't you go to the hospital and be with Sue. We'll meet you there in a few." I told Sam who seemed hesitant. "Emily needs you, he's her family too."

That got him and he nodded before hurrying out the door. I sat on the sofa and took a deep breath waiting for Seth and Leah.

Seth came back first and sat down next to me on the couch. I gave him a hug as he tried not to cry wanting to be brave for Leah.

We only had to wait three more minutes before Leah hurried down the stairs fully dressed. I pulled her close and lead them both out to the Clearwater's car. Seth climbed in the back and Leah let me guide her to the passenger's seat. I climbed in the front and sped off.

Leah's POV:

The ride to the hospital was silent. I had to remind myself to breath as we headed toward the town. Being in Jacob's company though gave me a strange sense of safety and calm.

When we arrived at the hospital Emily and Sam were comforting my mother. Charlie Swan and Billy Black were in the other corner. Old Quil sat by himself on the far side. Piled into a third corner was Embry, Paul, Quil, and Jared.

Jacob had me and Seth sit down before going to talk to his dad. Mom looked up and met my eyes before quickly looking away, crying harder.

I held Seth's hand in mine as we waited. Jacob returned soon and sat on my other side. The calming feeling returned and I felt some of the weight lifted when he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Jake?"

"Yea," He responded to my call, though I said it so low I wasn't sure how he heard it at all.

"What are we?"

He tried to avoid the question, saying we could talk about it later. I kept pestering him until he caved, "Shape-shifters. We are protectors against the cold ones."

"All those ridiculous bon fire stories are real?"

"Afraid so," He said pulling me closer and kissing the top of my head. For some reason it felt completely normal having Jake comfort me, and hold me.

"Family for Harry Clearwater," The tall doctor asked. As we all stood I got a full look at him and recognized him as Carlisle Cullen. For the first time I noticed how horrible he smelled, overly sweet.

"I am so sorry to have to tell you this. Harry passed away from a heart attack an hour ago. My condolences, I am truly sorry for your loss."

My mother's sobs sounded loud and Sam and Emily hurried her back to the house. The rest of us, minus Charlie who wanted to get home to Bella, soon followed.

"Mom!" Seth called as we hurried into the house. He went to hug her but she pushed him away.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" She screamed pointing to Seth and me. "IF YOU WEREN'T MONSTERS HE'D STILL BE ALIVE!"

"Sue that is out of line," Billy said.

"IS IT?" She asked, "HE WAS FINE UNTIL THESE TWO GREW FUR! I CAN'T STAY HERE, I NEED TO GO!"

She hurried around the house throwing things into bags, before heading towards the door.

"MOM!" I called following her outside. I reached for her and she slapped me hard across the face.

"YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME! I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU TWO EVER AGAIN! I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RESERVATION EVER AGAIN! THE HOUSE IS YOURS, GOOD LUCK."

"WHAT ABOUT DAD'S FUNERAL?"

"I REFUSE TO STAY HERE ANOTHER MINUTE SURROUNDED BY VILE LIKE YOU."

She hurried into the car and pulled out of the driveway. My hand went to my cheek; the bruise that should have formed was already healed. Jacob hurried outside and wrapped his arms around me pulling me into the house as rain started to fall. If only the emotional pain would heal as fast as the physical wounds…

AN: So that's the first chapter! I know Sue seems out of character but I have a plan for her later. Please review and I'll hopefully have the next chapter up soon! Thanks!
