Sam needs to get rid of the Cullens, he doesn't want anyone else to phase. He hears about Bella dating a Cullen and commissions her into helping. What he didn't plan on happening happens. Bella falls in love with the Cullen, the same events happen and after Edward leaves Bella in the forest, she rushes to Sams and gets imprinted on by Embry.
POV: Sam
It has begun, the trading of our lives, what we want to do all because of the bloodsuckers wanting to live a normal life. Now the men of the Quileute tribe have to give up our lives and protect them, but we will not stand for this no longer. Three of our people have already turned wolf because of the Cullens and we can do nothing of it because of the treaty that our ancestors started generations ago. But what they don't know is that we have a trick up our sleeves, we just have to hope that it will work for the best.
"Sam, you know that this has to be done right? We have to get rid of them once and for all, we have to make sure that they never come back so that we can live our lives in peace," Billy Black, our tribes chief tells me. He's trying to convince me to let his best friends daughter to help. Apparently he was talking to Charlie Swan, the chief of police up in Forks, the next town over and over heard his daughter come in and say that the Cullens creep her out. Of course, Billy knows something else but he just won't tell me what it is. He says that it's just not his secret to tell.
"Alright Billy, we will try this, but you better have a way of making sure that the girl doesn't get hurt," I sighed, ignoring the looks of shock from Jared and Paul, the other two in the pack. "I understand your want to have them gone, you don't want this life for Jacob or anyone else. It's a shame that it got started now."
"Thank you Sam, but the thing is, you're going to need to come into Forks with me soon, in about an hour," Billy said looking sheepish. "In time you will understand. Isabella already knows what they are, her mind is blocked to the mind reader in the coven. She came over here a few days ago with Charlie and I overheard her and Jake talking about them, said that they were creepy, and that the mind reader wouldn't stop glaring at her. We need to do this Sam, and I thank you for agreeing because I would have gone ahead and done it anyways. I need you to sniff some things out around Charlies too, bring the pack if you need too," Billy said before rolling to the kitchen and grabbing a set of keys.
"Paul, I want you to patrol the boarder, Jared, you will come with Billy and I," I ordered, getting grunts in response.
POV: Bella
Moving to Forks to spend time with Charlie is not something that I mind doing for my mothers happiness, but she's warned me about the type of creatures there, taking too much stock in the old Quileute legends that we were told lived lived there. Vampires with gold eyes and were wolves. At first I thought my mom was off her rocker, at least that was until I got a look myself at Forks High School. Instead of calling my mom up and telling her I want to go home because it just isn't working out here, I decide to man up and grow some balls.
When Charlie (my dad) decided that he was going down to La Push, the Quileute reservation to see his friend, I decided that I would go with him and hang out with scrawny little Jacob. And that's when it got interesting.
Jacob was asking me about how I like school, and when I said that it was okay except for the creepy Cullens, I knew that I caught Billy's attention. When Charlie and I were leaving that night, I gave Billy a hug good bye and he whispered in my ear, "I know that you know, be safe, and I might have a job for you."
I gave him a little extra squeeze, letting him know that I get him loud and clear. A week later is when the plan started coming together. Charlie was staying late at work one day when Billy and two seriously fuck hot men knocked on the door.
"Uh, hey Billy, dad's still working. Would you like to come in though?" I asked, confused.
"That'd be fine. Bells these two men are Sam Uley and Jared Cameron. Sam, Jared, this is Isabella Swan," Billy said, introducing us.
"It's a pleasure, why don't you guys go into the kitchen, I can cook something up real quick before you tell me what's going on," I said, shutting the door behind Jared and letting Billy lead the way into the kitchen.
"Food?" Jared asked, looking happy, while Billy started to laugh.
"That'd be nice Bells, just make sure to make a lot. These two eat a lot. Now, can you let us know how you know what the Cullens are? Do they know that you know?" Billy asked.
"How many times have I asked you to tell the legends for me Billy? Whether it be at a bonfire or just a tale before bed when I would spend the night with Rach and Becca? And you know how mum is, she believes in that kind of stuff. The cold ones and the wolves. What are you doing?" I asked, when I glanced up and saw Sam sniffing the air.
"Can you hold off on the telling real quick? Jared, go outside see if you can smell anything different. Do you mind if I sniff around the house?" Sam asked me, getting me confused before comprehension dawned. Sure, I'll wait to finish telling. Billy what do you want to drink?" I answered.
"Water's fine, the same will be good for Jared and Sam," he responded, watching them go about sniffing.
"What's going on Billy?" I ask, confused watching as Sam goes upstairs. Filling up three glasses of water I set them on the table.
"Well, either Sam has to take a piss and he's sniffing for the hydrant, or he smells something that's not supposed to be here," Billy responded, getting a snort of laughter from me.
"That's nice," I said getting stuff out for dinner, fish, rice and broccoli. As I start pan frying the fish Jared comes back in with a solemn look on his face. Sam comes back downstairs with a glare.
"One of them has been inside your room," Sam tells me as him and Jared sits down at the table and grab a glass of water. "You can continue if you like."
"Well, Billy you know how Renee is about believing weird stuff. She tried to talk me out of coming to live with dad because she feared what was in the woods, whether it be you wolves, or the cold ones. I didn't believe her because it's supposed to be a myth, vampires and werewolves shouldn't exist, yet they do. My first day of school and I get a shock, it's true, at least the vampire part of it anyways. The way that they moved was too graceful, the way that they just stared at their food, not eating, just moved it around a bit. It's too suspicious. I sit next to one of them in my biology class, and that first day he just glared at me and tried to breathe at a bare minimum. I got a glance at his eyes, first they were gold and then they changed to black." I paused for a moment, platting the food and then setting it on the table before grabbing plates for all of us and a glass of sweet tea for me. "Dig in," I muttered watching as Sam and Jared filled their plates to the brim before stuffing their faces.
"How would you like to help us get rid of them?" Billy asked between bites of food. Sam and Jared paused for a moment, waiting on my answer.
"It depends what would I have to do?" I asked curious of the answer.
"You would have to get close to them, pretend to love them and then figure out a way for them to move as quickly as they can," Sam said, "but you have to be safe, we can't protect you unless you are on our land."
"So I just have to get close to them and find a way to force them out of their home?" I ask, trying to clarify.
"Yeah, that sounds about right. This is good by the way," Jared said.
"Bells sure is one hell of a cook. She always has been. Now we can offer you some type of protection, but it won't be ready for a couple more weeks. Would you be able to come down say two Saturdays from now to pick it up?" Billy asked me.
"Yeah, I think some friends are planning a trip down to first beach for that Saturday, I said I'd go. What kind of protection would it be?" I answered.
"It'd just be a band, kind of like a bracelet that will ward off any type of manipulation that would be harmful towards you," Sam said. "It'd have protection 'charms' chanted over it, and then there will be a lotion type thing I guess that helps with the same thing that you would have to use weekly."
"Is there any time frame that you want them gone by?" I ask the three of them.
"Preferably before the month is out, but that might be too difficult. Just as soon as possible. Call me when you find out more about coming down to first beach with your friends and I will send Sam, Jared, and Paul down to first beach to give you what you will need. Try to stay away from them without being suspicious," Billy said, patting my hand.
"I'll try. Why does Sam, Jared, and this Paul guy all have to be there to give it to me?" I ask, curious. And who's Paul?
"They are the only ones that the gene has been wakened in, and in order for it to work, all members of the pack must be present," Billy said.
"I will do my best to be safe around them, and hopefully have them gone by the end of the year," I reply, smiling lightly at the three.
"Bella, would you mind letting Sam and Jared have your number so that they can reach you when necessary? And so they can pass it along to Paul?" Billy asked.
"Why would they need my cell number?"
"So in case they need to get a hold of you quickly, or you them you have an ease of access," Billy said.
"Yeah, put your guys' numbers in along with this Paul guy and I'll give you guys my number," I sighed, handing them my phone.
"We will be sure to call you before the party down at first beach so we can let you know when we will be there," Sam said, standing up. "We should probably be going, I'm sure Paul is getting anxious to know what has been said. Just so you know, when you meet Paul, try not to anger him. Jared, when we get back to La Push I want you to take over patrol for Paul," he continued.
"Okay, and thank you for the meal Bella, you certainly didn't have to feed us," Jared said standing up and offering me his hand to shake.
"It's not a problem, and what did you mean by there was one in my room? Probably a little late to be asking that now and all but... what'd you mean?" I asked Sam.
"Your room is saturated in leech stink," he replied. "Even your bed, it's like they were laying on your bed with you, who ever it was. We will have a dream catcher that will offer 'protection' as well, just not for the dreams. Hang it on your headboard," Sam told me.
"Okay, thank you Sam, Jared. Billy, it was nice seeing you again, and I will do my best to help you guys out," I said as I walked with them to the door.
"Be safe Bells," Billy said as Sam helped him out the door. "And tell your dad to come down for the game this weekend."
"Will do Billy. I will let him know that you stopped by looking for him," I said before shutting the door. Walking back towards the kitchen, I stuck a plate of food for dad in the microwave before writing a note telling him how to heat it up and sticking it on the fridge door. I cleaned up the dishes from dinner before walking upstairs and getting a shower, and just relaxing before I went to bed.
Some time in the middle of the night, I wake up cold. Reaching towards the lamp on my bedside table, I quickly turn it on, not looking away from my room. With the lamp on, I quickly scan my room and notice that my window is open. I get up quickly to shut it and I see a pale figure with bronze colored hair standing in the tree's behind the house. Mumbling under my breath I shut the window and lock it before getting back in my bed and try to fall back asleep before I have to get up and go to school the next day.

"Dad! Do you know where my keys are? I can't find them and I'm going to be late?" I shouted down the stairs to my dad.
"I don't know Bells, but there's a guy at the door. Reddish-copper colored hair. Want me to send him away?" he asked as he came and stood in my doorway. "I think he said something about offering you a ride to and from school today. I can always drive you and pick you up. I think Billy might have an extra key. If you want we can head down to La Push tonight."
"That sounds like a plan. Can you tell whoever is at the door that I don't need a ride?" I asked, stuffing my stuff in my bag before heading downstairs after my dad.
"Take my keys and start up the cruiser, I'll put the lights on if you want me to so you get to school on time," Dad said, tossing me his keys, knowing full well I won't be able to catch them. I forgot to mention, my dads the Chief of Police in this little town of Forks, Washington. Normally I'd hate to ride in his cruiser but at the moment I am going to love it because I can avoid creepy Cullen for just a bit longer.
"Thanks Dad, that'd be great,"I said walking towards his cruiser as he sends creeper away. Getting in the passenger seat, I put the key in the ignition and start the car, trying to warm it up some before my dad gets in.
The drive to school was silent other than a few mumblings about the rain.
"Alright Bells, I will be back by the time schools out and we'll head down to Billy's," dad said before putting the car in park.
"Thanks dad," I said smiling before leaning over and kissing his cheek and getting out. I walked over towards Angela and smiled briefly at her raised eyebrow. "I couldn't find my keys," I muttered as way of explanation.
"Ah, okay. C'mon, let's get ourselves to English," she said after giving me a hug hello. She'd get along well with some of the guys from the rez.
"Oh, yes, let us get to English before we die of the freezing rain," I said in an overdramatic sarcastic tone getting a laugh out of Angela before following her into the school and towards our shared first period class. Over the week that I have been here, I have made plenty of friends, but Angela was the best. She's my best friend, and from the way that the freaky pixie Cullen stares at me, it seems like she's going to try and get me to be her best friend.
"Bella, hush, you're gathering unwanted attention," Angela said as she laughed and pointed towards a group of freshmen and sophomores.
"Fine. Ruin my fun, I guess I will just have to wait until I go see Jake today with Charlie to get my fix of banter," I sighed, pouting slightly before going to my seat leaving Angela by the door and laughing quietly as she stood there just staring at me. She sent a playful glare my way and went to sit in her seat by the windows and the annoying Jessica Stanley who thinks she's my best friend, when she's hardly a friend.
After class was over Angela came towards my seat while I was packing my stuff and stood there tapping her foot over and over again.
"Yes, dear?" I asked, hiding my laughter at her miffed expression.
"Who exactly is this Jake guy? And why are you so playful today?" she asked me.
"Jake is my best friend, practically my brother although I fear that he feels more for me than I do him. And I don't know why I'm so playful, must have been something I ate, too much caffeine or something," I responded walking out the door and into a cold wall...er person.
"Sorry, I should have been paying more attention to where I was going," a smooth, voice said. Glancing up I saw Edward Cullen trying to look alluring. Now I have to act.
"Oh...it's okay, I should be paying more attention and I'm a klutz, I'm sorry," I said, forcing a blush and trying to act embarrassed when I wasn't.
"I'm Edward Cullen, we sit next to each other in Biology," he said as the warning bell went.
"That's nice, I have to go, I don't want to be late," I mumbled before dashing off towards my Spanish class. Fucking freak, I thought before I ran into the door of my Spanish Class. I quickly opened the door, blushing for real this time, at all the looks I was getting. "Sorry," I said to the sub and went towards the back to sit in my seat, getting a smirk from Mike Newton. Great.
Throughout class Newton kept glancing at me and it was getting on my nerves. When the bell rang I couldn't get out of my seat fast enough but the twerp still caught up to me.
"Bella, hey," he said as he grabbed my wrist.
"Hi Mike," I muttered trying to yank my hand back.
"Are you doing anything after school today?" he asked.
"Yeah my dad and I are going down to La Push," I said, grateful that we already had plans made.
"Oh, well, what about tomorrow?"
"The answer's no Mike," Angela said as she came up to us in the hall. "Bella and I are shopping tomorrow, going to Seattle after school and spending the next two nights there and coming back on Sunday." I shot her a look that said what the hell?
"Yeah, sorry Mike," I said, trying my best to sound apologetic when I wasn't at all.
"It's alright, we still have next week," he said before he walked away.
"My god, does he not know how to take a hint?" Angie asked as we walked towards our lockers.
"I guess not, but what was that? Shopping in Seattle?" I asked.
"Yeah, the Borders up there. The closest place that has any decent books. God knows Port Angeles doesn't have anything good, neither does the bookstore downtown and the library sucks," she said.
"Thank you, I thought you meant clothes," I said, relaxing.
"Well, maybe if we have time, I don't know about you, but I am dying to get a new bathing suit for the trip to First Beach in a couple of weeks. You are going right?" she asked.
"Of course. My dad's friend Billy, Jake's dad, he wants to give me something, but it won't be ready until then. So I have to go down there that day as well."
"Good, cause even if you didn't I would have dragged you down there. Instead of getting a ride with Mike and Tyler do you want me to just swing by your place and we can ride together?"
"That sounds like a good idea. Is Ben going?" I asked her, knowing that she has a crush on the guy.
"No, his parents are having a party that day or something and he's needed there," she said sadly as we made our way to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Do your parents know that you're going to Seattle tomorrow after school?" I asked her, knowing that I would have to tell Charlie.
"Yeah, they wanted me to bring a friend, told them that I'd ask you. You are up to it, right?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'll ask Charlie tonight on the way to Billy's. Need to find out if he has a spare key for the truck since it was his. Couldn't find mine. Charlie should say yes, and if Billy has an extra key for the truck I'll probably drive to school tomorrow or something," I muttered.
"Well, even if Billy has an extra key, why don't I pick you up for school tomorrow and you leave a bag of clothes in the trunk and we can leave after schools out tomorrow?"
"Sounds perfect. I'll text you after I ask dad," I said before giving the lunch lady my money for food and waiting for Angela to do the same before walking towards the table full of our 'friends.'
"Hey Bella, what's up with your dad driving you to school today?" Jessica asked me.
"Couldn't find my keys, and we're going down to La Push today," I said before I started to eat my salad.
"Bummer," she said. "Do you know who you're going to ask to the spring dance?" she asked the girls at the table as a whole. Girls pick and all.
"I'm not going, not a fan of dancing," I muttered, only Angie heard me.
"I have an idea of who I want to ask," Angela said, getting the attention off of me.
"Who?" Lauren asked, her nasally voice annoying the fuck out of me. I just wanted her to either blow her nose or get a new nose job.
"Ben Cheney, you know the nerdy one?" she said, making it a question and getting me to laugh.
"The nerdy one?" I asked between my laughter.
"That's what they called him last year, he's always got his nose in a comic book," she said, not even batting an eye at my laughter.
"When is this dance anyways?" I asked Jessica.
"In three weeks," Lauren answered snottily as the bell rang. Joy, Biology and creeper here I come, I thought before throwing away my trash.
Making my way towards class with Mike by my side seeing as he has the class with me, we talked about non-committal things coming up like the test next Thursday in Biology. Getting into class I found that creeper Cullen wasn't there. Come to think about it, I hadn't seen him since he stopped me after first period. Oh well, he's probably decimating the populations of deer. His eyes did look a little dark.
