Tragedy

I was hot, very hot, and much too hot. What is happening to me? I have been running a high fever for weeks, why is it all of a sudden burning pain, I can see faintly people surrounding me and I'm suddenly on all fours, HOLY SHIT, I'M COVERED IN FUR!

I can hear voices inside my head.

"Leah, what the hell is she doing here" said a guy called Paul I think

"She cannot be one of us; she is a girl for Christ's sake" Embry Call yelled in my head

"Will someone please tell me WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENENING TO ME" I screamed

"All of you shut up, never mind Leah for now, Harry has just had a heart attack, we need to get Leah to phase back" I heard my ex-boyfriend Sam yell on top of all the voices, everyone went silent.

And then it hit me "what has happened to my dad, is he ok?" I asked the guys.

"Leah, calm down, relax, take deep breaths and then you can check on your father" Sam said

I did as he said and then the next thing I know I was back to normal, and even better, I was completely naked, great.

"Here, Leah, put this on" Sam handed me a shirt, I quickly put it on, that was not my main concern, my father was on the floor clutching his heart, I crouched down next to him and grabbed his hand.

"Dad, please, its Leah, hold on, we have the paramedics coming, please, I need you Dad" I sobbed, I felt my brother Seth next to me and he put his arm around me.

"Seth, please, what caused this, why did he have a heart attack?" I looked in to my younger brothers eyes as I begged him to answer.

"Leah, I'm not too sure, one second he was fine but when you phased, he started yelling she's a girl, she can't be, and then collapsed."

This was too much to take in as I continued to sob in brothers shoulders, I caused the heart attack, by, what everyone keeps calling, Phasing, how did my brother know what phasing is? What am I? What has happened to me? Was I a wolf? I watched the paramedics take my father away, all of a sudden, I felt my brother carry me into a car, how come he is so strong, all of a sudden?

We entered the hospital and I took a look around, my mother was there looking determined not cry, I have never seen my mother cry, she is too tough for that, I can see Sam Uley, Jacob Black, and two others, Embry and Paul.

"Sam, tell me what the hell is going on right now" I demanded from him quietly as we took are seats in the hospital.

"Leah, is now the right time? Your father is in intensive care" Sam responded

"Dammit Sam I want to know what happened to me Now" I yelled the last part; I'm really getting pissed, what the hell is happening to me.

"Do not yell at Sam, Leah" my mother hissed at me, if she wants to be like that with me then fine.

"I won't yell at him if he tells me what going on, mother" I hissed back, she opened her mouth to respond, when Sam spoke up, lucky for her.

"Leah, do you remember the Quileute legends?" he asked me patiently, what is this, story time?

"About the wolves and the vampires, yes" and then it hit, do not tell me that I am what I think I am!

"Well as you know, most of us here a descendants of the Quileute tribe, who were shape shifters, they could turn in to wolves at will, this is to protect people from the vampires" he continued

"And you're telling me that I am a shape shifter?" I said slowly, this is freaking unreal.

"Yes, but I don't know how, it's only supposed to be boys, god knows how you are a wolf" he replied

I said nothing more, what the hell does this mean, wolves, vampires. So I am now a ... werewolf, I guess. I never believed any of those stupid Quileute stories, they were just stories, I mean, werewolves and vampires is just impossible right, I would refuse to believe all this bullshit if I hadn't seen myself on all fours, covered in fur, and hearing my ex-boyfriends thoughts. He was thinking about something called imprinting, which I have no idea what that could possibly mean, I heard about it somewhere in a legend, but I couldn't remember. And he was thinking about that good for nothing cousin of mine, the bitch who stole my man; we used to be friends but not anymore.

Finally my thoughts returned to my father, I hoped he was going to be ok, he had to be ok, if he died, I don't know what I would do with myself. My father was the one person in my family who I could talk to, I know that as a daughter you should not have favourites, but he was definitely my favourite parent. When was young girl, I remember l going fishing with my father and loving it more than anything else in the world, he used to tell me funny stories about when he was a kid and what he used to get up to. Whenever Seth and I argue he always backs me up when everyone else used to take Seth's side, when Sam dumped me for Emily, he refuses to allow both of them to come anywhere near me and banned Sam from the house, coming to think about it, for a second I wondered what Sam was doing at my house, but now it seems obvious, he was coming to warn my Father about me.

My father.

There was silence for what felt like hours, but was probably only a few minutes, and then all of a sudden a nurse came out the room my Dad was in, everybody looked up.

"I'm very sorry, we tried everything we could but we couldn't save him, Harry Clearwater has passed away" the nurse said gravely

No, this could not be happening to me, not me, not my family, not my Father. I couldn't hold it in any more as I looked around at everyone who was there, Seth had begun to cry, Sam, Jacob, Embry and Paul were all staring at the floor, I and begun to cry hysterically in to my brothers shoulder.

It then dawned on me, my mother was staring at me with a crazed look in her eye, and she was glaring at me.

"Mum" I addressed her "what is it" I just about managed to get out in between sobs.

"You" she said simply. She then began to stand "you killed my Husband, you freak!" she spat at me

It was that moment when I knew that my life was going to go from bad to worse very soon, but I have no idea how soon it may be, or if I even cared, all I knew was that my Father, the one person who had always loved me and would always love, was gone, he was gone to place where I would never see him again.

I no longer had my Father.
