CHAPTER 1 WELCOME TO La PUSH
Bella POV
I woke up to the sounds of light rumbling thunder, howls, and the steady soothing sound of rain. It had been a long past few days for me, I finally got my hairbrained, wacky, erratic mother to agree that for the rest of my high school career it would be best for me to move back to La Push, Washington.
I had been born here but then my mom got tired of feeling trapped here so she packed up here and most of my stuff and took off. For the first several years she was a great mother, then it was like someone flipped a switch in her. Due to her estranged mind and behavior I was often left alone for hours or on some occasions several days at a time. At the young age of 7 I had to learn how to make sure the bills were paid and there was food in the house to eat. I used to visit Dad on a regular basis until I was 12. That's because shortly after I turned 12 Renèe started drinking excessively and I had to learn how to drive to keep her from doing it and killing herself.
Charlie being the chief of police in Forks and La Push made it hard to keep the fact that I was driving for Renèes safety and such a young age. So I opted for the harder thing and stayed away, until a few years ago we would meet in California for a week every couple of months.
Being the parent for Renèe meant that having a childhood was impossible for me. So instead of asking dad to take full custody of me, I stuck with her and kept her as safe as i could.
Two years ago, she met a baseball player that helped her get back on the right track. She quit drinking and was way more attentive of me. I felt more of a burden since she wanted to travel with Phil, the baseball player, for his games. After many many many long talks and a few long distance calls to Charlie up in Forks, we got her to agree to move back home.
The soothing sounds were broken by a loud thud followed by a equally loud curse, causing me to jump, startled by the sudden noise.
"Is she up yet? I haven't seen her in so long, I'm nervous." the familiar baritone voice floated up the stairs from the living room.
"Chill out Jake, Bella will be stoked to get to see you everyday since she's moved back here." an equally familiar voice arose from the same location as the first.
Curiosity got the better of me, as I quickly dressed, managing not to fall at all but stumbled into my dresser as I hopped around trying to get my jeans on.
Chucking was heard from the doorway, it was a good thing I was fully dressed or I would have been rather embarrassed as I swung around to meet the warm chocolate eyes of my best friend.
"Jake! Ohmigod! I can't believe it! Your huge now, when did you hit that last growth spurt?" I rambled on as Jake grinned like a mad man.
"Come on, the rest of the pa- guys wanted to see you again." I narrow my eyes at his near slip about the pack.
Jake and the others don't know that I know about them being protectors. It's going to be a big surprise when they find out. However, for now I'll play along and act as though I don't know about them being shapeshifters.
As we walk down the stairs the voices cease and everything goes quiet. I turn the corn and tackle the nearest wolf in a giant hug similar to the one I have Jake upstairs.
"WHAT THE FU- Damn, Bella you have a grip there girl!" Sam laughs as he tries to loosen my grip around his waist with no such luck.
"Need help, Sam?" Embry asked with a tone of amusement, before I latched my arms and legs around his neck in the same vice grip I had Sam in a second ago.
"You know for a hum- little girl like yourself you have a lot of strength." Embry mumbled to me. "Sam, Jake, a little help here? I may be strong but she's starting to choke me!"
They laughed at that and both grabbed me and started pulling, I however tightened my grip on the wolf I had jumped on. The three of them being supernatural trying and failing to pull me, a very small human, off was funny. As they got ready to pull again I let go and laughed as they fell off balanced by the sudden lack of resistance.
"You guys need a work out if I am able to hold on with two of you hulks trying to pull my off!" I clutched my sides in laughter at their befuddled looks.
Sobering up slightly, I looked around and realized no one else was here.
"Where are the guys at?"
"They are at Emily's right now, we just wanted to see you first. Lock on to Seth or Quil like that, better yet, Paul. It'll be funny as he'll watching him try and break your grip." Jake says. Sam and Embry nodded in agreement.
Making sure I had my keys and an extra set of clothes in case we went to the beach or swimming we left the house and headed to Emily's house.
Hearing the laughter from inside the house put a smile on my face, I was about to see the rest of my family. The whole pack were like brothers to me, and in a way they really were, Charlie had helped with the raising of most all the wolves. The temper tantrums, the sudden mood swings, sometimes they were worse than a group of pregnant women in their 3rd trimester when the mood swing and hormones really hit hard.
"Hey, Seth! Come here!" Sam spoke in a raised voice, effectively getting the attention of the others inside.
I slid behind the three guys, ready to really pounce on each of them, as Jake had conveyed on the way over Paul would probably be the first one out the door. It was true, as soon as he came out I was flying over the yard and launching at him. His heat instantly soothed me and tingles erupted over my body where skin was touching skin.
"Damn It! What the hell is- Bella? When did you get back?" the sudden change of mood froze me where I was. Not wanting to feel less wanted as he was making me feel, I hopped down swallowing the tears that threatened.
Not trusting my voice at the moment I let Sam talk for me while I stood there mutely.
"She got in late last night, she's been planning on moving back for a while now. I'm surprised you didn't notice how everyone else has been buzzing with excitement at having Bella back for good."
He looked at me then, "Your back for good? No more Phoenix?"
I looked in his eyes and nodded, when the world suddenly fell away. Paul was the only one I wanted to be here for.
"NO! I don't want this! I can't be like that with anyone! Fuck! Not just no but fuck no, you have been in Phoenix where there is Sun and yet you are still paperwhite, even though you have Quileute blood in your veins." His outburst startled me.
His control was nearly gone and I couldn't move I was frozen by the sudden harshness of my imprint and the rejection. Then it happened. He shifted and I was too close. No one else was able to pull me away from him.
Pain erupted over my face, neck and stomach, the red staining and falling. It all seemed to be slow motion. Someone had screamed, I think it was me but I'm not sure. Footsteps seemed to have a mile in between. My vision was darkening and becoming more and more blurry and the ground got closer.
Alright! Chapter 1 is done! Yay! Anyways tell me what you think and leave a review!
