The Pros and Cons of being the first She-wolf in the history of the Quileute tribe. By: Leah Clearwater.

Let it be known that I am only doing this to make you happy Mom. I don't know why you think this is going to help bring things into prospective for me (unless it has the power to magically reverse all that sucks in my life).

The Pros:

- I run faster then any of the guys on the Quileute reservation, which is awesome.

- Eternal youth.

- A sexier, more athletic body.

- The ability to heal rapidly.

- I finally get to know what is going on in guys heads. (Although, this could just as easily be considered a con since I am clearly stupider because of it. There is nothing interesting or important going on in these guys' heads.)

- Two words: super strength.

- I am never cold.

- Being able to consume whatever I want and not gain a pound.

- Being able to kick Paul's ass whenever I feel like it (Because, let's face it, he always deserves a major ass-kicking).

The cons:

- Hunting for and eating raw game. Ugh, why can't nature be made out of cheeseburgers or something? Werewolves and vampires exist, so why not a friggin' cheeseburger tree or a french fry bush? Honestly, the possibilities are endless.

- Every guy in the Quileute reservation has seen me naked. Totally their gain but it sucks for me.

- Having to cut all my hair off.

- My thoughts are no longer private and I hate that. The fact that I no longer have anymore secrets is worse then being naked in front of the guys

- Protecting leeches.

- Having lesbian dreams about Bella Swan (I hate that fugly girl).

- I am a freak.

- Very real possibility I'll never be able to have children of my own.

- Knowing I killed Dad.

- Knowing exactly how Sam feels about Emily.

- Knowing Sam still loves me but his love for me pales in comparison to the way he feels for Emily.

- Knowing Sam wishes I'd just go away.

- One word: imprinting.

Wow, Mom, I feel a lot better now. Like a new woman. Thanks for the help (not).

Love,

Leah
