THANKS TO THE KEEPER OF THE STARS

Disclaimer: I own nothing

I'm not sure exactly where I'm going. I can only hope that my wolf senses are taking me in the right direction. My name is Annabel Uley , I'm 16 years old and I lived with my mom, dad, and sister in Seattle, Washington. Until a few months ago I had a normal life and would have never dreamed that the legends my dad use to tell us were true. That is until all the mysterious disappearing's started happening. Now I know that vampires do exist, and that a turn into the huge furry wolf or spirit warrior to protect people from them.

I'm headed as fast as my four paws can carry me to La Push to find my cousin Sam. My dad thought that he could answer the many questions I had about what I am and the vampires. I was lost in thought when all the sudden I was bombarded with voices in my head.

Who are you?

Where are you?

Holy shit! I'm not the only one anymore!

Damn! Another one? What the hell?

"Who are you guys, and why can I hear you?" I thought as I stopped running. "Oh crap! now I'm really going crazy!" I grumbled looking at the ground.

You're not going crazy. Just try to visualize where you are that way we can find you.

"Ok," I thought closing my eyes and thinking of as many landmarks as I could.

We know where you are now and we're on our way so stay where you are.

"How many of you are there?" I asked.

There are eight of us.

"Wow, that is so crazy and here I was afraid that I was the only one" I thought excitedly.

It was a few seconds before I saw seven large wolves standing in front of me. They were all different colors and looked as big as I am. All except the black one who looked bigger and more muscly than the rest. "I thought that you said that there were eight of you" I questioned.

There are, but one of us isn't phased right now the black wolf says.

My name is Sam Uley and this is my pack. My beta here is Paul Lahote. Next to him is Jared, Embry, Quil, Leah, and Seth. Can you tell us who you are, and help us decipher all of these images that we are seeing?"

"My name is Annabel Uley and I'm from Seattle. I lived there with my mom, dad, and sister until a couple of months ago. Is there someplace where we could all sit and actually talk? Because I have a lot of things to tell you guys and it would be easier for me to collect my thoughts. It would also be nice to be able to tell everyone all at once that way I don't have to keep repeating myself." I said looking at Sam.

We can meet up at our chief Billy Blacks house. He'll need to be filled in anyways. Just follow us." Sam thought as he and the rest of the wolves started moving north.

We ran until we came up to a little red cabin. It was nice and quiet and looked like it had seen better days. Once we got close enough the guys went behind a tree to phase and Leah took me towards some large shrubs.

Do you know how to phase back to your human form? Leah asked

" I do but there's a problem. When I phased I shredded the clothes I was wearing and I don't have anything to put on." I said.

Don't worry I run into the house and find you something. Leah said before phasing and running into the house and coming back with a red summer dress. "Here, hopefully this will fit you." She said putting the dress in my mouth. I phased and put on the dress which was a little short but worked. As I walked into the house I officially met everyone in human form.

As I walked a little further into the house I was met by an older man in a wheelchair. "My name is Billy Black and I am the chief of this tribe. It is very nice to meet you and I hope that everyone has made you feel welcome." He says while holding out his hand for me to shake.

"Everyone has been very nice thank you.'' I said while smiling and taking his hand.

As we make our way to the living room Sam clears his throat and says "Well, I would like to get things started but Jake is still absent. He should be here in moment and then you can help us clear up some things."

Just then the door opens and a tall, handsome boy with rustic skin comes inside. "your late Jacob." Sam says angrily. The boy doesn't say anything but looks at the ground sheepishly. He then looks up at me and our eyes lock on one another. All of the sudden I feel this weird pull towards him it's like gravity has shifted and he's the only person I see. He then shakes his head and starts backing towards the front door. " I uh I have to get some air" he says before bolting out the door. "What the hell is up with him" Paul asks. "I don't know but I'm going to find out. Quil and Embry you came with me the rest of you stay here." says Sam authoritatively. As the three of them leave I can't help but wonder what the hell is going, and why did I suddenly feel this pull toward him.
