Mismatched Chapter 1

When Edward left in New Moon, Bella found that she wasn't quite who she thought she was. What happens when she finds her soul mate in someone she never even thought she would meet, let alone love? But can she learn to trust again, after what happened to her?

When Edward leaves

I sat and cried for days. Then I suddenly realised what I was doing. Charlie was in an awful state trying to care for me, Jacob was... Well, something was up with him. He had disappeared off with Sam and his lot. And they kept staring at me. Freaky boys.

I sat on my bed. Charlie came upstairs.

"Bella, how are you today?" He spoke like he was talking to a toddler. Why did he do that? I was a full grown woman, for god sake!

"Dad,don't talk to me like that! You know I hate it!"

"Talk to you like what, bella boo?" He was trying to annoy me. Great just what I need. Then something in me snapped.

"Oh, just go away dad! Your so stupid, and embarrassing, and you make ridiculous jokes at ridiculous times!" I could feel myself shaking. My whole body was vibrating.

"Bella? Oh, no... It can't happen to you. No, it shouldn't happen now that they're gone..." What? His words didn't make sense. He ran down stairs. I could hear him on the phone.

"Yes, can I talk to Sam? It's very urgent...yes Sam... It's happened to Bella! Can you come over?... Ok, I'll see you in a minute." He ran back upstairs. I could feel something in me wanting to rip, and shred things... Then everything burst into bits. White hot pain flooded through me. Then there were voices in my head.

'Get out!' I growled.

'Bella. It's Jacob. Listen to me. You're a shapeshifter. Do you understand?' A flood of information about shape shifters went through my brain.

'Yes.' I kept my reply short. Then I looked around. I saw Charlie standing there, terrified. What of? Oh. Me, yeah forgot that. Jacob chuckled. I went and sniffed Charlie's hand. He smiled slightly, and stroked the top of my had to reach up to do it. At that moment, Sam burst in.

"Charlie, where is she... Oh." I chuckled, but it came out funny, which made me laugh even more. Jacob was laughing to. In the end, I snorted, which made us both hysterical, which sounded like a cross between a hyena and a wolf snarling. Everyone else in my mind started laughing too. sam just stared in shock.

"Um, bella? Are you ok?" I nodded, which looked really strange, and made sam laugh, which made him realise what I was doing, when I chuckled along with him (setting Jacob off again). "Look, we need to get you of here. Charlie, can you open a window, or something? It will be easier for her together to the forest unnoticed." Charlie nodded.

I leapt out the window he opened, and saw Sam follow, now in his wolf form. He was black.i looked at myself out of curiosity, and saw I was a blood red... Maybe that meant I was evil? I dismissed the thought as I saw a redy-brown wolf charging at me. He skidded to a stop. Then, very quietly, snorted. I started laughing again. The other wolves just sighed.

Sam explained a bit more,and then got me to change back. I was reluctant, seeing as clothes don't change with the body but he said he made everyone do it. Leah said that it was fine, I would have to do it at some point anyway. So I did, and to my, and everyone else surprise,I still had clothes on! True, they weren't the clothes I had been wearing, which was a t shirt and leggings, but they were clothes. Well, technically it was a dress,the same colour as my fur, and down to half way down my thighs, but for some reason, I liked it.i had bare feet, and it looked really sexy (according to the boys, when I changed back. Leah just laughed. A lot.). Sam also put me on duties. I didn't mind. It was nice being in my wolf form for a bit, letting instinct take over.

'Shut up, Bella' said Paul, who was running patrol with me. I growled, but it came out squeaky, seeing as I was laughing at the same time. This made him laugh, which made me do another squeaky growl.

A pattern developed. Every day, I would run patrols, then come home, spend time with Charlie, and then sleep, then get up and repeat it. Days blurred. We spent most of them laughing. Me and Paul were almost always paired. We had a lot in common, and got on really well. I forgot the Cullens. I was happy. For now.
