The night was beautiful, calm, clear. All was quiet and there appeared to be no movement. Ah…but there was movement, it was just moving really fast. Its fur was light brown. And had a long, black and white ringed tail. Its ears were sharp and pointed, the nose resembling the color of ebony. The white fur around its face made it seem like it was wearing a mask, but it wasn't. Then finally, the eyes…the glowing brown-gold eyes of this beast were probably the most deadly thing on this creature.

A bird was nesting in a nearby tree, seeming like it was almost asleep. The creature eye balled the bird and watched it intently, its eyes burning with hunger. It opened its mouth, leaped up, and…

Chibs shot his eyes open. He was in a cold sweat, not sure what to think now. Three times, that dream plagued him. He wasn't sure why, he and the Cullens hunted animals for their blood anyway. But still…those woods looked just like the ones right outside the house.

His life had changed drastically ever since coming to Forks. He could no longer eat solid food and constantly had to resist the ever strong urge to transform into what he was. Not vampire…not lycanthrope…but both, and stronger than both. Chibs looked in the mirror and checked his teeth. Most lycanthropes and vampires could hide their signature fangs. Half breeds apparently couldn't. His fangs weren't like the others' nor were they like Jacob's. They almost resembled the teeth of a comb or something. He was amazed at how well the fangs fit in his mouth without him having to have an animal muzzle or mouth. His eyes had changed colors. They resembled golden dandelions, which actually annoyed him immensely.

Unbeknownst to him, Alice snuck up behind him and put her arms around him.

"Morning!" she said brightly.

Chibs smiled, despite himself, and gazed at his vampire girlfriend. Contrary to everyone's popular belief, vampires didn't die in sunlight, but rather sparkled like diamonds. Thanks goodness she wasn't in direct sunlight, or else she'd look like she belonged in a rapper's music video.

"Morning" he finally replied.

"You okay?" Alice asked.

"Yeah…just that dream again".

"Chibs…you need to tell Carlisle about this. How many times does this make?"

"Three".

"In how long?".

"About two weeks".

"I promise…there's no were-ringtails here".

"You never could know".

"Chibs…I've lived here for years, and I haven't seen a single were-ringtail".

"But what if they show up here?".

"They won't".

"I just wanna be cautious, that's all".

Alice gave him a dark look. "Who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend?".

"He's still here".

Alice sighed. "I doubt it. Ever since you left Charming, it's always been about caution. You weren't afraid to take chances a month ago, yet here you are".

"I'm sorry, I know. I'm acting like a total wuss, but I really don't want anything bad to happen to you".

"Nothing bad will happen, I promise. Now c'mon, Jacob's waiting for ya outside".

Alice left and Chibs continued to examine his strange shaped teeth. He'd have to give Clay a call later and ask him to find out what this was all about. Chibs looked away from the mirror and looked outside. Jacob was talking with Bella when he noticed him in the window and waved up to the half breed. Chibs nodded in response. Bella had a slight smile. With that done, Chibs got dressed and got out the door.

"No gun dealing!" Carlisle yelled as Chibs ran out.

It was his one rule, other than stay in your own room at night…
