Chapter One: Fire and Ice

Some say the would end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire,

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I knew enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great,

And would suffice.

PEFACE

All of our foul attempts at subterfuge had been in vain. With all the ice within my heart, I watched as the one I loved start to prepare to keep my life in check and defend it. his concentration made him betrayed out of any doubt. Right now his family was fighting for their lives as he was fighting for ours. Wild eyes black and full of fury and thirst waiting for my death to come closer. But far, far away throughout the wild forest and in the ice cold air a wolf howled.

Bella…

Paul was staring straight at the hot dog in Jake's hand like that was the only thing he wanted that was on earth. His stomach didn't growl but I had been around the wolves long enough to realize that they show a lot of signs in being hungry.

"You gonna eat that hot dog?" Paul finally asked Jake. Just like I said his eye locked on the exact thing Jake had attached to the stick he used to roast the hot dogs with over the fire. Jake leaned onto my knees and sighed sadly. "I think. I mean, I could finish it but I knew I won't enjoy any part of it."

Through the fact that that Paul ate as much as Jake didn't mean a thing because Paul balled up his fist a glowered at Jake.

"I was kidding Paul. Sheesh! Here." Jake said while chuckling and giving Paul the now fully cooked hot dog and Paul took it greatfully while stuffing it into his mouth making me gag. I never got why they did that but it their thing…

"Thanks man!" Paul said happily. I rolled my eyes and I guess he saw so he stared at me non-stop until I stuck my tongue out. He began to laugh really hard and he fell backwards making everyone else laugh.

After we all calmed down all of the elders calmed down and we all got comfortable and were ready to listen legends that were very interesting.

"The Quileute's have been from small people in the beginning. And we are small people still, we lived together, and have disappeared. This was because there has always been magic in our bloods. It wasn't really always the magic of shape-shifting….that came later. But first, we have Great Spirit warriors.

"In the begging, of the tribe settled in a harbor and became ship builders and skilled fishermen. But the tribe was very small and the harbor was rich with fish. Other natives covered out land and we were too small to cover it. We used our ships to escape a bigger tribe and we made it very far.

"Kaheleha wasn't really our first warrior in spirit, but we do not remember the stories that came long before him. We never knew who discovered his power or how it was controlled before. But he did use this magic to defend our land.

"Kaheleha took his spirit army and destroyed the intruders. This tribe had packs of big, furred dogs that they used to pull sleds in the frozen north. The dogs ran wild when the spirits released them."

Billy explaining all about these tribes made me feel as though they were even more important than the Cullen's. Everything about them seemed so very interesting. I was a little envious of Leah because she could turn into something that was immortal and powerful. But Billy said something that caught me off guard.

"A certain girl could change the lives of the wolves during her time of training for something big. She will fall in love with those of an immortal and a mortal. She loves the immortal but the mortal wins he heart over within everything in his power, and within that power she will soon become his imprint. But she will not be a human but much more. Her out come will always become a question but she will be strong enough to protect anything that's not in her way." When he was finished talking they were all looking at me. Especially Jake, he had glee filled tears in his eyes and he looked like he was dying to smile of happiness.

"That's not me! It can't be…" I said with a mystery in my voice. I couldn't be me. I was in love with only Edward…was I?

"Well…you are with a vamp plus you love Jake…and no one I weirder than you soo…yes it is you." Paul said matter-of-factly. I looked at him and my rage started to rise.

"NO ITS NOT!I LOVE EDWARD AND I ALWAYS WILL!" I shouted and with that the fire began to rise then burst. I looked at Jake and his face was pained I felt like I had made the biggest mistake of my life. I wanted to cry and I did I felt the tear some down my face and rain came stopping the fire. I turned but the raining got harder as I cried harder. I started to run away and I surprisingly just tripped once. I didn't take the truck. I wasn't really thinking about that. I was thinking about what was going on. The fire, feeling Jake's pain and crying making it rain. Were the legends true about me and Jake? After all of that I didn't really feel a change but I knew I felt the same way as Jacob. I didn't want to hurt him I was just confused. I really couldn't think any more because of the commotion so when I got inside I made no eye contact with my dad I just threw my self on the bed and went to sleep letting the dreams take over.

Dream:

I opened my eyes and I saw my self in the same place where Edward left me. it was cold and I was alone. I stood up and saw a river. I walked over to it and I saw a wolf. It was white, brown, black, and had some gray in its fur. The eye color of the wolf's eyes were hazel and it was very beautiful. I looked behind me to see nothing but trees and leaves. I looked back into the water and saw the same wolf. I blinked and it did too. I smiled and the wolf smiled back. I covered my nose and the wolf cover it's muzzle. I looked down at my self and I was wearing an Indian dress like what Pocahontas was wearing. I looked behind me again and I had my hair braided into a braid and feathers were tied in it.

I looked at my skin and it was tanner than usual. I blinked and the view around me changed. I saw the Cullen's standing in certain places and the pack were standing the same way…separate.

"Bella." I heard Jake say. His eyes were a smoldering hazel, he wasn't really wearing anything but shorts that hung low and you could see his 'v' shaped torso. Leading down to a special place. I began to feel curious.

"Bella…Bella…Bella…Bella." I heard the rest of the pack say. They felt like they trusted me and wanted to tell me that I did belong with them. I felt the same way too but I didn't was to leave Edward. He was a…obsession. Nothing more but a mutant of my imagination. I felt my life brighten when I was with Jake literally.

Jake reached out to me with one hand and I did the same reaching for him. On the side lines I could see Edward with a sad and disappointed face. but I didn't ay attention him. The more I reached for Jake the more Edward faded and away but soon after he and the pack did too. I felt loss and confusion and I was left alone in the dark…

"JAKE! JAKE! PLEASE JAKE COME BACK JAKE!" I yelled. I kept yelling but he wouldn't come back but there was an echo of a far away voice calling my name. I looked around and stopped my screaming.

"Bella...Bella…Bella…wake up! you screaming Bells wake up please! It's just a dream!" I heard a voice say and the voice got closer and closer.

Waking up…

I felt two hot hands gently shaking my shoulders. I felt my heart beat pick up and my breathing followed. I opened my eyes quickly and jumped away from the arms that were shaking me and fell to the floor. I looked up and saw Jake. He looked tired, sad, and worried. The dark lines under his eyes were darker that what the used to be. I could see stress lines on his forehead and his muscles looked like they couldn't move.

"Jake." I gasped and I got up and ran toward him. I wrapped my arms around his waste and squeezed tightly. He stumbled back a little but regained his balance and softly hugged me back. I moved back and rubbed his check softly with one hand. He closed his eyes but didn't open them after fifteen minuets so I slapped his cheek.

"Ouch." Jake said and rubbed his cheek. He frowned and yawned. "Sorry about that…I'm just tired. I could leave now I just heard you screaming my name…I thought you need to be rescued."

"No Jake stay. You need the sleep any way." I said while pulling him towards my bed. He sat down and moaned. I told him to lift his arms and I slid off his shirt. Then he wanted to take off his shorts. I knew he liked sleeping naked at times. He never bothered to wear shoes. I turned out the light and climbed into bed along with Jake. I didn't mind him being naked. I really liked is body very much.

"Thanks Bells." Jake whispered and he kissed my neck be fore drifting of to sleep and I followed happily and had no dreams at all.

6 hours later…

I opened my eyes and the sky was a normal gray. I was still tired but with jogging pants and a large shirt on made it harder to sleep because of all of the sweat and heat from Jake. I slipped the shirt and jogging pants off. We are best friend so it doesn't really matter. I closed my eyes again and fell into a peace full sleep.

2 hours later…

WAKE THE HELL UP! SOMETHING IS BURNING! My instincts were telling me and I woke up smelling smoke and seeing it from under my door. I felt my panic rise and I hopped out of bed and grabbed a pair of shorts and a tank top. I threw them on and ran down the stair so fast I ended up down the stair within five seconds.

I looked at him and he was fully dressed and was making burnt EVERYTHING. Its imposable to miss how black the things were getting. The pancakes, waffles, toast, eggs, bacon, omelets…everything. I snuck up behind him and tapped his shoulder and he turned around and one he did I kissed his lips. I didn't mean to but my mind told me that it was just to thank him for trying to make breakfast. He didn't respond at first but then he turned fully towards me and wrapped his arms around my waste and pulled me tighter towards him.

I put my hands on his arms and squeezed. Wanting to remember the parts of his muscular body. I heard a gas bubble pop and it landed on his head. He hissed and cussed loudly. I moved back quickly and the fire raged up ward. I screamed and Jake kept using the oven mitt to slap the fire to calm it down. I took deep breaths and the fire died down. I turned off the stove and I cleaned all of the brunt food from the pans and toaster and oven.

"Bella…how did you do that?" Jake asked while sitting down and looking at me curiously. Shock was clear as day in his eyes and he was breathing heavily with sweat beads sprinkled on his forehead.

"What?" I asked. I knew what he was talking about. I didn't know what it was but now I think my emotions did that to the fire. I didn't know I was a little focused on it and when he stopped kissing me I got a little upset and the fire rose to the air like an exploding volcano.

"The fire Bella…how?" he asked. I shrugged. Lie. My mind told me and so I did. I told Jacob that the stove did that at times when the heat is higher than usual and that the grease was starting to pop under the fire causing it to fuel up.

"See? I didn't do anything." I lied. He accepted it willingly because he didn't get a word I was saying. Once we were done talking it made us the same thing that he made but much, much less burnt and black.

"Thanks Bells." Jake said while eating with his mouth full. I surprised no food was trickling down his chin and onto his shirt. He finished his food in fifteen minuets flat but had to go do some 'wolf things' he promised that he would come by to check on me but that didn't seem necessary. There was no stopping him though.

Once I was done eating I got on my computer and had gotten an E-mail from my mom.

The E-mail:

Bella,

I'm coming to visit you in a few hours. There is easier transportation here now and I might even be here sooner than you think. I have something really important to tell you so please be patient and wait for me at home. I love you.

Mom

P.S. Say 'hi' to Charlie for me!

End of Message…

What did she need to talk to me about? Is she pregnant? Did Phil get hurt? Is she coming to live with my father again? My thoughts were missed up but they were stopped when I cool hand pressed tightly against my shoulder. It made me shudder but I knew it was Edward. Tell him to leave! My thoughts shouted. Did I want him to leave? YES!

"Hello Edward." I said turning around to see his black eyes. they looked darker than usual. I gasped and stepped back as far as I could. He looked like he was in intense pain. Was I making him like this?

"Bella." Edward said hungrily. His eyes got darker every time the clock ticked. His teeth looked almost bared like he wanted to bite me. This is bad! Mayday! Mayday! Kick his ass out! He will drain you!

"Edward you're thirsty. I think you should hunt. Please." I said through nervous ragged breaths. He opened his mouth with protest but froze. He didn't say anything else he just jumped out of my window. I sighed and turned around to go down stairs. Once I reached the bottom step my mom came from around the corner. I almost fell back while clutching my chest of a heart attack.

"Oh, sweetie is you ok? I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you!" my mom said while helping my shocked body to the couch. She got here quickly I never even heard the door open ad close through the silent house.

"Yeah. But how did you get here so fast?" I asked.

"That's why I came to talk to you Bella. Your father is a werewolf and I'm a witch…" she said slowly. What?

Charlie pov…

I parked in my usual spot on the drive way by Bella's truck. I grabbed all of my equipment and walked towards the door. I knew that Renee was al ready here. I could smell her. That smell made me completely fall in love with her. I walked through the door and saw both my daughter and ex-wife. Time to explain my part of the story.
