I was lying in the soft grass of the meadow… our meadow. I knew what I had become, and I wasn't sure what emotion to feel.

I vaguely remembered the past incidents that I had been involved in, although the memories were blurry. I remembered Laurent, here in the meadow. I remembered his razor-sharp teeth piercing my skin, followed by a very unpleasant burning. After awhile I felt Laurent pull away, how strange, I thought to myself- I was still alive… barely. I was writhe ring in pain, the pain got worse, far worse, it had become unbearable, horrid, awful.

I tried to count how long it had been, but I couldn't concentrate, the pain had overtaken my entire body. Then finally, it stopped. My heart was no longer beating, and I was now positive that I knew what I had become. I could feel and hear everything around me, the wind, the trees…

My throat yearned for blood, but I had promised myself a long time ago that if… Edward… changed me into a vampire, I would definitely be a vegetarian, killing people was not right.

I was too afraid to open my eyes. Horrible thoughts were making there way through my head. If Laurent didn't kill me, then he must have something worse in stock for me, then another thought popped into my head- Maybe, he's in front of me right now, waiting to burn me. Then came the worst thought of all- Maybe Laurent kept me alive so that he could torture me… with… Victoria.

I growled at the name- that surprised me. A growl?

I heard the sound of approaching footsteps. If possible, I became even more still than I was the second before. Laurent was coming, I knew it.

I kept unmoving, hoping he would think he didn't succeed in changing me. How stupid can you get Bella?! He's not that stupid…

Please review! this is my very first fanfiction and i will try and update this sorry every few days- i think it will be about 20-30 chapters i hope you like it!

xx

Then, I heard his voice.

"Bella?" He said quietly. "Bella, please, the suspense is killing me."

I lay motionless, surprised.

"Bella, I'm sorry… no, I'm so sorry. I couldn't do anything," Jacob's breath swept over my face, it stunk really bad.

"That's not true!" I heard Embry call (A/N haha… get it? His name's Embry Call! Lol) out, he sounded far away. "We managed to kill that stupid blood-sucker!"

Someone burnt my cheek, that made my eyes shoot open.

I leapt up from my position and growled. Jacob sat, shocked, under me. He was absolutely terrified. Meanwhile I was absolutely fuming.

"Jacob…" Sam called from one hundred metres away, with Quil and Embry. "Stay calm… back away slowly." Sam said calmly.

Jacob stared at me for a second longer then shook his head, eyes always on me. "No," he said. " No… it was my fault, I forgot what it would feel like when our skin touched… I must have burnt her, she practically burnt me she was so cold." He said in a low voice.

I slowly relaxed and slumped to the ground, closer to Jacob.

"Jacob," I murmured, smiling slightly that he was hear and at the beautiful sound of my new voice. "I've missed you so much," my smile grew, hen shrunk back down. "Wait… how did you know my skin would be cold?"

Jacob quickly glanced around to look at Sam, who nodded, then looked at me intently. "You know what you are… don't you?" He asked in a quiet voice, I nodded in response. "And you know how you got to be a blood- vampire?"

I nodded slowly but then shook my head, I didn't understand why I wasn't dead. "Why aren't I dead? Laurent bit me, then sucked my blood, I should be dead."

"Laurent's the vampire?" Jacob whispered.

"Yes," I barely heard my own voice.

"Here's where it gets confusing… we scared him off, then killed him."

I surprised myself and everyone else by laughing. "I'm sorry, but, how could you possibly kill a vampire?"

I swear I saw a smile crack across Jacob's face, then it faded away. "We're wolves."

I thought about that for one eighth of a second, before my new, quick mind remembered the conversation Jacob and I had had on the beach back when we first knew each other. "Werewolves," I whispered, then realized something else he'd said on the beach that same day, "I'm your enemy then?"

"No, you're not my enemy, you're Bella."

We both smiled widely at that statement.

"Sam! Embry! Quil! Get your butts over here to see Bella!" He yelled all of a sudden.

Slowly, the three men made there way over to me, obviously uneasy with being so close to a vampire.

"Guys, come on! It's just Bella, jeez, calm it."

There was an awkward silence.

"Ugh… so Bella, are you thirsty?"

That made the three boys back away… more like run away.

I smiled, ready to have some fun. "Yeah, I'd love to have some wolf," I smiled, Jacob played along.

"Oh, sure, I'll go find one for you. Do you have a preferred size and colour?"

"The biggest, like, huge! Not a normal wolf… it would kind of look a bear!" I winked at Jacob and he smiled in response, as he turned to find my 'wolf' I heard him mutter under his breath, "Still the same, Bella." –That made me smile more.

I listened to the conversation Quil, Embry, Sam and Jacob were having over the other side of the trees.

"Jacob! You're not really going to find her wolves! Doesn't she find us disgusting? She doesn't even know what we are!" Embry whispered frantically, though I could still easily hear.

"She knows what we are." Jacob stated.

The boys turned to look at me then turned back to Jake and said simultaneously, "And she still wants to suck our blood!?"

That made me laugh, rather loudly too. "Jake, Jake," I laughed, "Thanks, that was funny."

Jacob laughed too and came over to me, the three shape-shifters following behind him.

"So… you don't hate us? You don't want to suck our blood?" Quil asked me, my grin widened.

"No, Quil. Sorry to say this… but quite frankly, you stink," I covered my nose for the effect.

The boys laughed, "Yeah, well you don't smell that great either," They laughed.

My eyebrows pulled together, "Really? Huh, guess that makes sense."

After a few more minutes of talking absentmindedly, the boys relaxed around me- Jacob already was- and I decided to ask them a question, I waited for the next pause during the conversation to butt in.

"Umm… can I ask you guys something, I don't want to scare you." I asked.

The boy's nodded, all of a sudden un-easy again, even Jacob.

"I know that last time when Jacob asked me if I was thirsty we made a joke about it… but I really am," I rushed my words together, it surprised me how fast I could speak.

I saw four sets of eyes widen, then Sam incoherently said, "We're going to have to kill you if you kill one of our humans."

I looked at Jacob, he was looking at the ground, knowing that was true, as were Quil and Embry.

"No! No! I promised myself ages ago that if I ever became a vampire I would be a vegetarian," I smiled at the word the Cullen's had used. I was surprised at that moment that I didn't have to hold my chest together thinking of them… being a vampire had made me stronger in so many ways.

"A vegetarian?" Sam snickered at the term, the other boys joined in.

It was my turn to look at the ground. "Like… like the Cullen's."

These boys knew I hated the subject of the Cullen's and stopped chuckling straight away.

"Only hunting animals… I would never hurt a human," I added.

"The question is whether the leech-lover, well now I guess she's just a leech, can resist human, not whether she wants too!" I heard Paul yell from the trees.

That cut deep, what f I couldn't have resisted? What if I had killed every human I could find? What if I was like Edward had thought of himself all that time… what if I was a monster.

I looked up to see Paul and Jared standing at least one hundred metres away… glaring at me. Jacob rubbed my leg, soothing me.

"She's actually very much in control, she's not fighting us, is she?" Jacob yelled back, angry.

"I would never fight my best friend," I whispered in his ear, he was too angry about what Paul said to smile.

Jared and Paul ran over so they were standing on either side of me. I was sitting down, looking up from under them, they were fuming.

I was terrified, what would I do if hey attacked me? I couldn't fight back! But I couldn't just sit there either.

"Come on, Bells, lets go," Jacob was standing above me, hand held out. I grabbed it and he helped me up.

"Where are you taking her?!" Paul bellowed, shaking madly.

"Hunting-animals, no humans," Jacob assured me.

"You can't go with her! She'll attack you!"

"No she-" Jake started.

"No," I interrupted, "You can't Jake."

"Why not?" He asked, confused.

"I used to want to see… Edward… hunting. He never let me, he said when a vampire hunted they gave over to their senses, he would have had no choice but to kill me if I came."

Jacob thought about that for a second, "Yes… but you were human, I'm half wolf. And besides, I stink, don't I?" He smiled.

"Okay… but I've never hunted before, I don't know what will happen," I told him seriously.

"I'll come, don't worry, I'll be fine," He patted the hand he was now holding.

"What if a human's in the woods?" Sam asked.

"I'll be there to…" Jake struggled for the right word then whispered, "To control her," He looked away from my eyes.

"Okay, come, lets go," I said, making Jake feel better. My thirst was pretty bad now, almost unbearable.

I pulled Jacob along at walking pace.

"Ugh, Bella? You do know that you're really fast? Don't you? Why aren't you running?"

I smiled, let go of Jacobs hand and took off.

The feeling was so exhilarating! The wind rushed through my hair, and for the first time, I could really see. Everything was so sharp, distinct. I stopped where I was and looked around for Jacob. I saw him… but he didn't look like him… well, he did but he was in his wolf form, running towards me. I smiled at how cute he was in his wolf form, he was no longer a threat to me like I thought these bear-wolves were when I was human, not knowing it was Jacob and his friends.

I ran again when Jacob was next to me, I ran in to the forest and inhaled, finding my prey.
