Chapter 1:

POV: BELLA

Fame…its one thing that you would never expect to not want. But that's exactly what I want. I don't want fame, I want to be a homebody, I don't want to have fans screaming my name, I want to live in the tiny town of La Push, Washington with my father and uncle and cousin, but Renee, my "mother" won't allow me to until I turn 17. At least, that's what she said. To trust her would be like following the grim reaper to an ice cream shop. She has the perfect life; a famous daughter, and a rich, baseball playing husband. But me on the other hand, I have the worst life ever, a bitchy mother, a horrible step-father, sure, I lead a great life, I've got money, I've got fans, what more could a girl ask for? Other than settling down, actually going to a real school, having friends that aren't fake. But that's so unacceptable, because it's not what's thought of me. That's why I'm getting the custody that my "mother" has over me transferred to my father, and he couldn't be any happier, because he finally has the chance to see me other than when we're in Washington for concerts.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to it also, because I can finally settle down, and have all the things that I want, friends, a real family, go to a real school. Charlie, my dad, he's also another reason. I hardly know anything about him, because we don't get to do any father daughter bonding. So, I'm taking a break from singing, from going from city to city and being cramped on a tour bus. I can't wait til I can go to a real home, and finally live my life the way that I want to live it.

Of course, I can't leave without Abbie, my acoustic guitar. I never go anywhere with out her, not only because she's my first, but because she's the guitar that I turn to when I have a new song that I try out for the first time, and I'm happy when I have her, she helps me get out frustration that always ends up piling right back up on my shoulders.

So, when I get to La Push, I'm only going to have my guitar, my car (well, truck it's a Ford F-150 crew cab) and a couple bags of my favorite clothes. If I need any more, then I'll go out and buy some, but other than that, I'm going to try and be as normal as I can.

Oh, and not freak out when the plane that I'm sitting on goes into turbulence. Must love the Seattle weather. Sarcasm, it's my favorite thing. I pull out my notebook, full of songs that I've written, or not finished, well, currently only one isn't finished, but I'm working on it. When I'm done looking through for the right song, I start to fumble around with the verses, tap out the tempo, and do anything else that I can to finish this song. By the time that the song is finally finished, the plane lands and the passengers are exiting the building…or plane. I get out of my seat and gather my carry on luggage, which consists of my laptop bag with my laptop, notebook, and my ipod and a few pens/pencils, and Abbie, before I get off the plane completely to get my other two bags and went to look for Charlie… or his cruiser. You see, not only is he the chief of the Indian reservation, but he's also the chief of police and he never goes anywhere without his cruiser. I'm so going to have to talk him into letting me buy him a nicer vehicle for every day occurrences like this.

Okay, so maybe not like picking up his teenaged daughter up from the airport everyday occurrences, but you get the point right? Okay, good cause if not then I'd have to kick you somewhere where the sun don't shine.

I finally spotted Charlie, and I grabbed my bags and made my way over to him. "Hey dad," I said when I was standing a few feet in front of him. He looked at me, and smiled so brightly, the white of his teeth stood out against the russet color of his skin.

"Bella!" he almost yelled, coming up to hug me tightly. "You have no idea how much everyone has missed you!" he told me, looking sheepish.

"You didn't tell anyone anything did you?" I asked him. The guilty look on his face was enough of an answer for me. "CHARLIE! I told you not to tell anyone, I wanted to surprise them!" I whined to him as we were putting my stuff in the trunk of the cruiser.

"All I told them was that you were coming home, I just didn't say when. Oh, and we're having a barbeque over at Billy's. The elders are going to be there and so is the pack," he told me.

"The pack? Dad, have you finally lost it into believing all of the tribal stories?" I asked him, truly worried for his health.

"No, it's just Jake and a large group of his friends, we just call them the pack," he said quickly. "Now, get in the car Bells, we have a three hour drive to make before we get home, and then we're going to Billy's for that barbeque."

"Okay, okay. I'm in the car, now drive old man," I warned him. "Should I bring my Abbie?" I asked him after about five minutes of silence.

"Yeah, Billy and Jake haven't heart you play in ages, other than what's on the radio. I'm sure that they'll be happy to see Abbie as well," he said after a few seconds of thought. "Why don't you get some rest on the drive so that way all you'll have to do is freshen up some, and we can head over. That sound good to you kiddo?" Charlie asked.

"Yup, it does, night," I told him before getting comfortable and falling asleep. After what felt like seconds, Charlie was shaking me, and telling me to wake up. "What do you want?" I asked him groggily.

"We're home, go on in, the door is unlocked, your room is the one that you've had since you were born. I'll bring your stuff up," he told me after laughing. I got out of the car and went inside before I got lost. I just stood there for a few seconds before Charlie came in behind me and laughed. "Up the stairs, second door on the right," he told me.

"Thanks, that would have been nice to know BEFORE I walked in," I said, walking up the stairs and into my room. "We are going to have to redecorate in here," I told my dad when he set my stuff down.

"I know, I have someone that's going to expand the house some, make your room larger, maybe add on a bathroom for you to use, so we don't have to share one. Can you live with this for a couple of weeks?" dad asked me.

"Yea, I'm just…not a fan of pink," I said, looking at the pink walls and ceiling. And the pink bed set. "I might just sleep on the couch," I told him. He just laughed at me, and set my bags down. Before walking out of my room.

"15 minutes until we have to walk over to Billy's. That should be enough time for you right?" he asked me.

"Yeah, that's plenty of time. I'll be ready in 10," I told him before grabbing a change of clothes and my toiletries and walked to the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth and pulled my hair back into a really high bun, before quickly turning on the water to hot and stripping down what I already have on and jumping in the shower. I quickly washed and shaved before getting out and grabbing the towel that I got down from the shelf, and dried off. I put on my white lace panty and bra set before putting on a pair of white skinny jeans and a red tank top and brushed my hair and left it down. I went back to my room with three minutes left, put on a pair of red converse, grabbed Abbie, and went downstairs where Charlie was waiting.

"10 minutes. I'm impressed," Charlie told me, laughing at the victory dance that I was doing. I stuck my tongue out at him, and started to bounce up and down.

"Can we go over early?" I asked excitedly. He took one long look at my bouncing self before he laughed and nodded his head yes and started to walk towards the front door. I was still bouncing, so I bounced out the door after him. "Do you want me to lock it or something?" I asked.

"Nah, we're only going to be next door, don't have to worry about anyone trying to break into my house," dad said, puffing out his chest, still walking next door to the little red house that my uncle Billy owns. "Will you calm down and stop bouncing?" Charlie asked, laughing at me.

"No! Now hurry up and go old man," I told him pushing him while still bouncing.

"Okay, stay here, I want to make sure that everyone's here first," he said while walking out towards the back yard. I kept my eyes on him and when he waved for me follow behind him, I ran and started to bounce again. Charlie grabbed my wrist and dragged me, FORCEFULLY! Into Uncle Billy's back yard. "Stop your bouncing kid," he told me before shouting to Billy. "Hey, Billy! Look who I found lurking around out front!"

"I wasn't lurking, you told me to stand there, but I BOUNCED," I said, laughing at the look on uncle Billy's face. "Hiya Uncle Billy. Where's Jakey?" I asked, bouncing double time and giggling.

"BELLA!" I heard someone yell from a group of guys, standing around and talking. He was tall, and not at all familiar, so I cocked my head to the side, pursed my lips, and just stood there, until I saw the familiar eyes, and smiled so brightly.

"Here dad, hold Abbie," I told him, handing him my guitar case, and looked back to Jake. "JAKEY!" I shouted back, loving the sound of him groaning in exasperation. I ran and jumped into his arms giving him a hug as tightly as I could, but wasn't really that tight. Jake on the other hand, squeezed me so tight, I needed air. "Jake, can't breathe," I said as best as I could. "Oh…uhm, hi?" I said to all the people that Jake was talking to and looked down before blushing.

"Guys…and Leah," Jake said, putting his arm around my shoulders, "This, is my cousin Isabella…I mean Bella," he said to them. "Bells, these guys…and Leah, are the guys and Leah," he told me.

"Guys…and Leah? Jakey, you really need to work on your talking skills. Hi, I'm Bella, like Jake said, and you guys are?" I asked smiling sweetly at all the guys that were like, 6 feet tall and taller. "I'm guessing that you're Leah since you're the only girl here…unless his name is Leah?" I asked the girl, while pointing to some random guy in the group of people.

"Yeah, I'm Leah, and you're pointing to my brother Seth," the girl, Leah, said smiling brightly at me. "The rest of the guys here are Sam," she said, spitting out his name as if it was bad, while pointing to the guy closest to Jake. "Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Brady, and Collin. Emily, Kim, and Claire are talking to your dad and Billy. Emily is holding Claire, and Kim is the one that is staring at Jared with wide and dreamy eyes," she continued. "Emily is Sam's fiancée, and Claire is her niece," she finished, spitting Sam's name out like it's bad…again.

"Well…hi…again. Jake, you should take lessons in talking from Leah," I said, smiling sweetly up at him.

"Yeah, well…not all of us want to be like Leah," Jake said, which caused me to hit him in the stomach. "Ow, what was that for?" he whined at me.

"Be nice, now apologize," I said, glaring at him. "Now, I'm going to go talk to Uncle Billy. It was nice meeting you guys…and Leah," I told them before dancing my way across to my uncle Billy, and plopping myself down in his lap. "Hi Uncle Billy, Emily, Kim, and Claire," I said, smiling brightly at them all.

"Bella, I assume that you know their names because of Jake?" uncle Billy asked me.

"Nope, Leah gave me their names. Hi, I'm Bella, Charlie's daughter," I said, laughing at the shocked looks on everyone's faces. Jake and his friends were making their way over here, smiling and laughing, while Leah was just there. "Uncle Billy, do you have any paper? And a pen or pencil?" I asked him.

"Yeah, get Jake to get it for you. He knows where your stash is at," he told me, pushing me out of his lap. I walked over to Jake and smiled brightly and said the only thing that would confuse the hell out of everyone but him.

"Go get my stash please? I'm in one of my…moods."

"Okay, did you bring Abbie?" Jake asked me, watching the dreamy-ness come into my eyes when he mentioned my guitar. "I'll take that as a yes," he said, laughing.

"What stash? And who's Abbie?" one of the guys asked, sounding very confused.

"Jake knows what stash I'm talking about, and Abbie is my guitar," I said. "Now, Jake, go get my damn stash!" I turned around and found my dad behind me with my guitar out of its case, and I squealed. "Thanks dad!" I said, bouncing up and down for a few seconds before grabbing Abbie, and going to sit in a secluded area of the yard on a picnic table that's not going to be used. I saw Jake come out with my stash of paper and a few pencils and bring them over to me. I snatched them away from him and smiled brightly, and started to write. When I was done writing, I started to play, and sing quietly to make sure that it all worked together. I glanced up to see everyone staring at me, and I blushed. "Well…that's embarrassing. Was I not quiet?" I asked.

"No, you were, we just heard you playing. What'd you write?" Jake asked.

"Do you just want me to sing it for you?" I asked them all. When they all nodded, and Jake, Billy, and Charlie were all smiling brightly, I started to play it again. "Okay…so…this is called Keep Holding On, and Leah, it's for you," I said smiling at her before I started to sing.

You're not alone

When I was finished, everyone was clapping. I looked up, and smiled at Leah, who had tears in her eyes.

"You wrote a song for me?" she asked me. "Why?"

"Yea…and because when you guys were walking towards Billy when I was sitting on his lap, everyone but you was smiling, and when you spat Sam's name out when you were introducing everyone, I could tell from the look on his face that there was something going on between you guys, plus it was written all over your faces. But, I know what it feels like to be bitter towards someone you love," I told her.

"Sing another one Bells, the first song you wrote," Jake told me.

POV: Paul 18 and a monster. How anyone can live with this, with what I've done, with what I've seen, I don't see how I'm alive, how I'm living with myself, and it's only been a month since I've been this way. Who ever would have thought that the tribes' stories about the men being protectors would have been true? Not me, that's for sure. God, I hate insignificant boys. Flashback: "So, Paul…can I ask you something?" my sister, Raven, asked me. I just gave her a wistful look, while we were walking along the trail behind our house. "Sure, little sis, ask away," I told her.

She took one long look at me and asked if I was in Sam Uley's gang. I don't know why, but that one question just angered me. I tried to calm down, but my sister just started talking about a different matter at hand. She thinks that she's in 'love' with some kid that she doesn't even know. She's 14 for Christ sakes. She doesn't even know the meaning of love. Then again neither did our parents. Our dad leaves after Raven turns one, saying that he can't take it anymore. When I turn 18, our mom kills herself, saying she can't love us the right way, because we remind her of our father. "Paul? Paul, are you okay? You're shaking," my sister says, and that's when I realize that I am shaking, and Sam Uley and Jared Mahan, of all people step out from behind the tree's and tell my sister to step away from me, and that's when I lost it. Them showing up, out of nowhere makes me angry enough to explode. Literally, I exploded into a giant dog…or well wolf, but still, I exploded, and I heard an agonized scream. I look to where I heard the sound coming from, and see Raven bleeding out on the forest floor.

That's when I heard the voices in my head, telling me to calm down, and to step away from my sister. 'Jeesh, freak police is here already? Maybe they could take me to the people with the white coats, they'd probably give me something, and tell me that this is all a dream' I thought, and then I heard snickers. Of course it's all in my head, must be some type of multiple personality disorder that I've got

'Okay, seriously Paul, shut the fuck up,' I heard Sam's voice say.

'Great, even my mixed personalities sound like Sam. Maybe the next one would be my father or something…no, Paul, don't think about him, he's not worth your thoughts' I think.

'Sam, just order him to shut up please. As amusing as this is, I think we have other things to talk about then listen to him ramble on about him having multiple personalities, and one that sounds like you,' Great. There's Jared's voice in my head.

End Flashback.

And from then on it went, them explaining how we're the protectors, and the next day, we held my sisters funeral. Looks like I couldn't protect the only family that I had left.

But that was months ago, today though, I'm with the rest of the pack, Sam, Jared, Embry, Jake, Quil, Leah, Seth, Collin, and Brady; the imprints, Emily (Who's Sam's fiancée), Kim, and Claire; along with the elders, who are Quil Sr, who's Quil's grandfather, Harry and his wife Sue, who's Leah and Seth's parents, and Billy who's Jake's dad. Charlie's supposed to be here, but he said that he'd be in later, that he has other things to do at the moment. Said something about going to Seattle to get a few things, but that was also a few hours ago, he should be getting back any time now.

"Hey, guys, come here for a minute," our Alpha, Sam, said, effectively getting us into a circle around him. We all looked at him, and he was smirking. At me.

"Yes, Sam?" I asked him, attempting to be polite, and the smirk just grew and grew.

"You're going to imprint soon, like today soon," he said, while everyone was just staring at him, shocked, when we heard Billy's name being called by Charlie, who was tugging on a girls arm, a girl who had chocolate brown eye's and the most beautiful heart shaped face ever. "Or, now?" Sam said, laughing at me.

"Did I just…did I just imprint?" I asked him, while everyone but Jake was laughing. Instead, he called the beauty's name, and she ran over smiling brightly, and my legs just turned to goo.

"Guys…and Leah," Jake said, putting his arm around her shoulders, "This, is my cousin Isabella…I mean Bella," he told us. "Bells, these guys…and Leah, are the guys and Leah," he told Bella, such a beautiful name for her. It fits the epitome of beauty that surrounds her.

"Guys…and Leah? Jakey, you really need to work on your talking skills. Hi, I'm Bella, like Jake said, and you guys are?" she asked smiling sweetly at all of us. "I'm guessing that you're Leah since you're the only girl here…unless his name is Leah?" Bella asked the Leah, while pointing to Seth, Leah's brother.

"Yeah, I'm Leah, and you're pointing to my brother Seth," Leah said smiling brightly at her. "The rest of the guys here are Sam," she said, spitting out his name as if it was bad, while pointing to Sam who was standing closest to Jake. "Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Brady, and Collin. Emily, Kim, and Claire are talking to your dad and Billy. Emily is holding Claire, and Kim is the one that is staring at Jared with wide and dreamy eyes," she continued. "Emily is Sam's fiancée, and Claire is her niece," she finished, spitting Sam's name out like it's bad…again.

"Well…hi…again. Jake, you should take lessons in talking from Leah," Bella said, smiling sweetly up at him, what I wouldn't give to have her smiling at me that way.

"Yeah, well…not all of us want to be like Leah," Jake said, which caused Bella to hit him in the stomach. "Ow, what was that for?" he whined at her like the dog he is.

"Be nice, now apologize," she said, glaring at him. "Now, I'm going to go talk to Uncle Billy. It was nice meeting you guys…and Leah," Bella told us before dancing her way across to Billy, and plopping herself down in his lap.

"She's so beautiful," I sighed out dreamily, while everyone laughed at me.

"Dude, you imprinted on my cousin…then again, she does need someone to look after her, Renee, she was never any good at that. Plus she'll keep you on your toes, so good luck with her," Jake told me, laughing the entire time, before we started to make our way over to Billy, and the imprints. I was just staring out into space whenBella walked over to Jake and smiled brightly and said the only thing that would confuse the hell out of my guess everyone but him.

"Go get my stash please? I'm in one of my…moods."

"Okay, did you bring Abbie?" Jake asked her, and we all started watching the dreamy-ness come into her eyes when he mentioned the name Abbie. "I'll take that as a yes," he said, laughing.

"What stash? And who's Abbie?" I asked, sounding very confused and very jealous, but trying to hide it.

"Jake knows what stash I'm talking about, and Abbie is my guitar," Bella said. "Now, Jake, go get my damn stash!" she turned around and found her dad behind her with a beautiful guitar out of its case, and she squealed out loud, while I squealed on the inside. "Thanks dad!" she said, bouncing up and down for a few seconds before grabbing Abbie, and going to sit in a secluded area of the yard on a picnic table that's hardly ever going to be used. Jake came out of the house, but stopped by us, and told us not to follow him, cause apparently when she gets in one these 'moods' as Bella and Jake both call them, then she gets nasty until she's happy with the product.

We all watched Jake, walk cautiously over to Bella and hand her the paper and pencils that he brought out before he quickly made his way back to us. "What's so bad about her getting in one of her 'moods'?" I asked, putting quotes around the word.

He took, one long look at her before turning back to us. He glanced between Bella and Leah, before he finally answered me. "She gets worse then Leah was when she first phased," he said, laughing at the gob smacked looks on our faces.

"She can't be that bad?" Sam asked, slightly astonished. He would know, he got the brunt end of Leah's bitchyness.

"Oh, but trust me, she is. One time, when we were younger, she was writing something, and I wanted to go outside and play in the mud, and I wanted her to come with, because I was bored, and she wouldn't stop writing. Turns out it was a poem about something, and I ripped it from under her hands and started to read it, because she wasn't paying any attention to me, and she trashed her room because of it, then she dragged me by my ear outside and pushed me in the mud before turning back around and grabbing the water hose and turned it on, and sprayed me with it like I was a mutt…well I am, but at the time I wasn't," Jake told us. "Then Quil and Embry showed up, and we were all about the age of 9 or so, and she pushed them face first into the mud before she pantsed them and sprayed them with the water hose too," Jake continued, while Quil and Embry groaned.

"She did that? To you three?" Seth asked, shocked.

"Yes, and at the time, we," Embry said, pointing between himself and Quil, "had no idea what was going on. We just wanted to know why Jake was getting hosed down, when she attacked. We didn't know who she was, until she stopped, and when she did Quil and I sat up fast, and backed away while attempting to pull up our pants."

"Holy shit," I muttered.

"And for the rest of the summer, we didn't hang out with Jake, because he was always on his knee's acting like a servant towards her. Embry and I were too scared to go near her, so we just left Jake alone," Quil said, and we heard a guitar being played, and it sounded good. We all, and I mean everyone, walked over towards her and when she glanced up, she had to see everyone staring at her, and she blushed. "Well…that's embarrassing. Was I not quiet?" I asked.

"No, you were, we just heard you playing. What'd you write?" Jake asked.

"Do you just want me to sing it for you?" Bella asked us all. When we all nodded, and Jake, Billy, and Charlie were all smiling brightly, Bella started to play it again. "Okay…so…this is called Keep Holding On, and Leah, it's for you," she said smiling at her before starting to sing.

When she was finished, everyone was clapping. Bella looked up, and smiled at Leah, who had tears in her eyes, hell everyone had tears in their eyes.

"You wrote a song for me?" she asked her. "Why?"

"Yea…and because when you guys were walking towards Billy when I was sitting on his lap, everyone but you was smiling, and when you spat Sam's name out when you were introducing everyone, I could tell from the look on his face that there was something going on between you guys, plus it was written all over your faces. But, I know what it feels like to be bitter towards someone you love," she told her.

"Sing another one Bells, the first song you wrote," Jake told her.

POV: Bella

"You mean the one that you ripped out from under my hands when I was 10, and I sprayed you down with the hose, along with those other two kids, like you guys were dogs?" I asked him, smiling sweetly, and heard three identical groans.

"Please don't mention that story again. We already had to tell it once," one of Jakes friends, I think his name was Embry, said.

"Please Bells. Even when you were little you were always able to write really great things, and when you sang it after you re-wrote it because I go my 'grimy and nasty hands' on it, it sounded good. Please Bells?" Jake asked me.

"Fine…I guess I can do that, even if I haven't played it in ages. I forgot how it went though, so your gonna have to wait a while, until I find the right book with it in there," I told him, loving the sound of him groaning.
