I thought my grand-father was joking when he said we were descendant from wolves. He said that the tribe shifted when the vampires were back. The Cullen's have been around for a while now so why was no one shifting. Then I couldn't believe it today. My body temperature went through the roof, if a doctor could have felt me they would have been scared by it. The ground began to shake but then I realised it wasn't the earth that was shaking it was me. Then bang I was on all fours growling I had fur I had paws it was alien, I was a wolf although I could have sworn I was the alien right now. I ran into the woods thinking I would be safe there. I still don't fully know what happened mainly through fear but I have such speed now. I ran for miles not knowing which direction I was going in. Not knowing what was going to happen next.
When I finally changed back to being me back to being Sam I was miles from home, alone and naked. I was shocked, scared and also mad. I looked around in case anyone saw me. After all the last thing I wanted now was to be arrested for wondering around naked. Trying to maintain my dignity I found a recycling dumpster and fished my hand in through the gap trying to find something but I couldn't get it out again, weird I thought. I pulled with all my might and finally my hand came out but I noticed that the seam of the clothing bin has pulled apart a little. I had a crazy thought to see if it would work I put my hands in the gap and pulled it apart. I was that strong it was very weird, slightly scary but it was a good scary I think. I finally found a pair of ripped jeans and a tee-shirt. I put them on and sat on the ground looking at the dumpster letting the tears fall. I had no money on me so I couldn't get a taxi home. I did the only logical thing and reverse charge called my grandfather.
"Hey Levi its Sam here I'm sorry I reverse charged you but I don't know what's going on" I said.
"Sam good god son where are you, I saw you running into the forest and prayed you'd shift back" he said.
"You know what's going on!" I screamed at him.
"Yes Sam you've shifted you're the first in the tribe to do so this time around but you can't tell anyone about this do you understand me" Levi said calmly.
"What the hell Levi I have to tell Leah but right now I want to come home. But I'm not sure of the way and you have to tell me what on earth is going on" I said trying to remain calm.
" Do you remember what happened before you shifted the first time?" Levi asked.
"Yes I had been arguing with Leah, I was angry" I replied.
"Right somehow you have to get yourself like that again in time the shifting will come naturally to you but right now you need to get angry, then you can run back I'm sure your nose will lead you in the right direction. I will leave some clothes in the forest at the clearing for you. I will explain everything to you" Levi said.
I shifted back and ran towards the reservation. Levi was right my nose led me home. I got to the forest and Levi was there waiting for me. He approached me carefully holding his hand out.
"Sam you need to shift back I am not going to hurt you" Levi said. I calmed down and shifted back. He handed me the jeans and black shirt from my house and we settled down on the tree stump and he explained things to me. The legend I grew up with but he explained how it would affect my life and Leah's too. I wasn't allowed to tell her that he was most insistent about. This had to be our secret until it happened, if it happened to anyone else in the tribe. Levi told me that I was now the protector of our tribe but I kept thinking the same thought over and over and I couldn't shake it, My life was going to change and right now I was going to lose everything and everyone. My life was officially over.
