'thought' "speech"
Right after the wolves walk into the clearing.
(Bella POV)
'I can't believe it.' I made eye-contact with one of the wolves before he ran after the others and I just knew it was Jacob 'The La Push wolves are back, I have to tell Charlie.' I turned and ran for my truck. 'How could I've been so depressed that I wouldn't notice the changes happening right before my eyes.'
When I reached the house Harry was there. "Dad I saw them, in the woods, they're not bears, they're wolves like huge wolves." A flicker of recognition flashed in his eyes, then Harry asked "Are you sure 'bout that Bella?" 'He knows.'
"Yeah I just saw them, they were after - something." 'And that something just happens to be a vampire that wants me to die.'
I looked Charlie in the eyes, 'We can't let Harry know.' He caught on fast, playing dumb he asked Harry if he felt like hunting, watching closely for a reaction. We got the expected; inhaling deeply, slight sputtering and a weary look in the eyes.
As they left I started to worry about those pups fighting a skilled vampire. What if they weren't strong enough to stop Laurent and he told Victoria I was all alone. "Shit Bella, how you gonna fix this one."
Later that night I heard something hitting my window, it was only Jake but it still freaked me out a bit. He made his way into my room 'Damn that kid's been a shifter for how long? and already he's got killer skills.'
I saw the alpha command behind his voice when he talked and it killed me not being able to tell him I knew what he was. When he saw the scar on my wrist, the look on his face, I didn't even want to know what he was thinking. He was trying to get past the command, he asked if I remembered the stories he told me on first beach, I couldn't tell him I remembered anything but the cold ones.
'I can't let him go like this.' I asked him to run away with me, he told me he would but he couldn't. He looked so hopeless as he said it I wanted to cry and tell him my own secrets but I couldn't speak the words needed.
He hugged me and begged for me to remember. 'I need to find a way to tell him.' Latter on I awoke from a dream that if I listened to it, I would prove myself crazy, then again. "It could work."
Instead of going back to sleep I woke up Charlie and told him about my dream, we talked about the pros and cons of the plan, calling Ang to see what she though and if I should go through with it. Even after listening to different ideas and possible turnouts I still couldn't sleep and ended up in the kitchen, four hours later I had re-read Romeo and Juliet, and had country potatoes, vegetable omelets and French toast ready when Charlie came down.
Having made up my mind, I was at Billy's house bright and early, I was about to break an ancient agreement and I didn't give a rat's ass. He told me Jake wasn't in. 'Yeah I bet.' I pushed past him and rushed through the house heading for Jacob's room.
He was sleeping when I opened his door, and for a second I was caught up remembering the last time I saw a pup sleep this peacefully. 'Yukon.'
That's when I saw, them.
Sam was easy to identify, and I almost didn't recognize Embry. Though we had never met I knew the other two had to be Jared and Paul. I rushed up to them, "What did you do? What did you do?" and pushed Sam. The one immediately to his right snarled, actually snarled. 'That's the one I need.' He responded " What did we do? What did he do, what did he tell you!" Then Sam stepped in "Both of you calm down."
But I spoke over him "Nothing, he tells me nothing because he's scared of you." Right after I said that Paul started to laugh, and that pissed me off. I slapped him - hard. 'Perfect he's starting to loose control.' Sam noticed this, "Bella get back." 'Not a chance Sammy boy.' Paul's transformation was rough and violent, his clothes were shredded as bones moved and fur grew. He crouched down in front of me growling and snarling then he started to move toward me. I heard Jacob come out of the house, "Bella!" 'I'm sorry Jake.'
(Overview)
As Jacob started running in the direction of the enraged wolf, Bella calmly stood back from the snarling animal. Then in a faint glow covering her body Bella elegantly changed from human to wolf. (Her clothes remain intact.) Her fur was a beautiful off white, tinted not yellow but a very light brown. She stood tall in front of the dumbfounded pack.
The insulted female then lunged forward and grabbed Paul by the back of the neck, shaking him like a misbehaving pup. In a matter of seconds Paul found himself on the ground, too dazed to stand, with a still irritated she-wolf walking towards the house. Billy, who had been watching from his porch, spoke up. "Good to see you again…Isabella." As she walked past Jacob she leaned in and butted her head with his shoulder.
(Bella POV)
I huffed at Billy's welcome, he knows I hate being called Isabella. As I walked past Jake I just had to nudge him in the shoulder. He wasn't really looking at me, kind of like when he told me we couldn't be friends, it hurt. 'I'm sorry Jake.' Of course I'll have to tell him that latter. The last few steps brought me right up to Billy, still sitting on his porch. I was big enough to sit down and keep eye-contact with him, while I did this he asked, "Did you really have to give Paul brain damage?" 'Hell yeah, he attacked me.' I nodded my head.
As this was happening Paul phased back and was being helped up by Jared. Sam was starring at me, like he was trying to figure out how I could be a shifter. 'This is getting annoying.' So I howled, hoping my family hears me. I guess my howl startled everyone because they jumped. 'Ha-ha, oops.'
I moved to lie down and as soon as I did I heard a faint reply to my call. 'Good, Seth heard me.' I was vaguely aware Sam and Billy were talking, then a question was aimed at me, "So, are we related?" I looked over at Embry and shook my head no. That prompted questions from everyone else, "How are you a werewolf, you're not Quileute." "What the hell, how can a leech-lover be one of us?" (That one was Paul) "Billy, did you know about this?"
Then I heard them, my pack, my family.
I wasn't expecting them to arrive so quickly, or bring her. I started to quiver and whine, I missed her so much. I heard Billy quietly say, "Go." and I did, I ran past Sam and the others, straight for the trees. Straight to my baby.
The first one to come out of the tree-line was a tall and gangly wolf with sandy colored fur. 'Seth damn it, move!' It wasn't meant to sound mean, but I was in a hurry with one person on my mind. He stumbled out of my path before I could nock him down, 'Why the rush? They're right behind me.' And so they were.
(Overview)
The La Push pack watched as Bella ran towards the woods. They watched a sandy colored wolf trot out and nearly fall in his hast to get out of her way. She stopped right in front of the trees as a man on horseback, dressed in a black duster and wide brim hat emerged. Running next to him was a small wolf pup, completely white except a patch of brown covering it's left eye and ear.
Bella briefly took notice of the rider before all her attention was on the pup. Who was looking up at her as it jumped up and down, too excited to keep still. Her tongue was hanging out from the side of it's muzzle, and her tail was wagging. Bella started to sniff her, prodding with her nose before finely rolling the pup over with a giant paw. She licked her face several times, then rolled her back over and picked her up by the scruff of the neck. She turned and carried the pup back to where she had been laying in front of the porch. Bella then sat the pup down on the grass as she lay down, and moved her in between her front legs. They both completely ignored everyone around them.
As this was going on the sandy wolf had made his way closer to the waiting group. He eyed all members of the pack, before settling on Sam. No one expected the reaction the sandy wolf gave, he looked Sam up and down before huffing and looking away. He then settled himself next to Bella and the now sleeping pup.
The rider pulled his horse to a stop as he reached the group. Dismounting he took his hat off to reveal the face of Charlie, "Good going Bella." he said chuckling. "You give anyone a heart attack?" looking over at Paul. Who clearly did not think it was funny.
While all this was happening Billy sat with a far away look on his face, like he was remembering a dream.
A/N: This was just an idea I had floating around my head.
