Rain
Bella's Point of View
I thought today was going to be like any other day here in Forks but little did I know that was about to change. It's raining like it always here. We usually don't go out when it is raising as hard as it is right now but Renesmee need to hunt. Although she is playing tag with Jacob right now with Edward and I trailing behind them.
"Edward did you hear that?"
"Hear what my love?"
"It sounded like someone was crying back there."
I turned around and headed back the way we came. When I stopped to listen I heard faint crying and a heart beat that is similar patterned to Renesmee's. I slowly headed towards it with Edward following behind. About twenty yards from our path I caught sight of a girl on her knees in the mud. She looks as though she has been out here in the rain longer than us. Edward didn't stop me as I slowly inched closer to her.
Hope's Point of view
I can't even begin to count the number of hours I have been out here in the rain. My jeans are so wet and muddy that they are plastered to my skin. My once grey knee high boots are now a dark muddy brown. My cream colored shirt is completely see though and has been for a while know. The wind has pulled pieces of my hair from the braid that are now glued to my forehead and cheeks. It's freezing cold out and like I said I'm completely soaked to the bone, but I can't go home not until I find Warrior anyway. I don't understand why I can't find him or why he would ever leave me.
I jumped hearing a small twig snap behind me. I turned around quickly hoping that it was Warrior. Instead it was a young couple. I backed up slightly why would, anyone be this far out into the forest.
"Hello"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Bella and this is my husband Edward. May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Hope."
Bella continued to move closer to me. I watched her carefully as she moved. She moved with amazing grace and her golden eyes almost seemed to call to me. Wait golden eyes, the cold ones have golden eyes. I started to back farther away from her. The closer she stepped the farther I moved away into I backed into something solid. I jumped and tried to get up quickly thinking that it might be another one of them. This caused me to almost fall on my face and in the process I felt the bark of a tree dig into my top. I relaxed a little knowing that it was just a tree and not a cold one.
Warrior has taught me to stay away from the cold ones. He told me that they are dangerous to the tribe. He told me that there is a coven of them that live in Forks and the pack has a treaty with them. They are not supposed to hunt on our land.
"You can't hurt me, I'm protected by pack law and the treaty."
"What do you mean?" Edward questioned me.
"I'm an imprint to the pack and there for protected by their laws and the treaty they have with the cold ones known as the Cullens."
Bella and Edward looked back and forth between each other and me. Then Bella looked up at something behind me. I risked taking a quick look to see what had caught her attention. I knew that it could possibly be a trick but what if it was one of the wolves. What if it happened to be Warrior, I would want him to see me. I caught a quick glance of some russet colored fur and knew that it was Jacob. He came and stood between me and the cold ones but he didn't treat them like a threat. It seemed as though he was talking with Edward.
It then dawned on me that I remember the pack saying something about one of the Cullens having the ability to read minds. And that the Cullens were different from other cold ones that drank from humans. They drank from animals giving them their golden eye color.
"You are from the Cullen coven?"
"Yes, Edward and I are Cullens."
"Jacob, where is Warrior?"
The wolf turned to look at me when I said his name and then looked back at Edward.
"Do you know her Jacob?"
The wolf shook his head and then ran off. He came back as a human. He looked so much like Jacob but something about him was different.
"I don't know her or anyone named Warrior."
"You must have been hanging out with Uley too much Jacob if you don't know who your Best friend and second alpha is."
"And I think you must have hit your head."
All I could do was sigh in defeat. A young girl suddenly appeared beside Bella.
"Momma I'm cold."
The wolf walked over and picked the girl up, holding her close to his chest.
"Edward, why don't we take Hope back to the house with us and all get out of the rain?"
"Bella I don't think that is a good idea."
"Edward look at her, she is just cold, wet and alone."
He looked over at the little girl trying to cuddle with the wolf and then over at me.
"Alright let's go back to the house."
I had a little trouble keeping up with them as they ran. Usually I can keep up with Warrior when he just or if I can't he carries me. Maybe I can't keep up because I am too wet and cold. I didn't realize exactly how cold I was until the little girl said she was cold. They lead me to a large house in the middle of the woods. Most of it is glass and the rest is white. I stopped half way across the yard suddenly afraid. There was another cold one standing in the doorway of the house. She ran out to meet the others, while Jacob took the little girl straight into the house.
"What happen to you guys? Your future became even blurrier than normal when you are with Jake and Renesmee."
"We met someone out in the woods. We will talk to everyone about it once we are inside."
Bella turned back from their little group to look back at me.
"Hope it's alright, come inside with us."
I slowly fallowed her into the house. She led me to a room just up the first flight of stairs. I noticed that most of the inside of the house appeared to be white or light cream but it didn't look bad. The room was a bed room that had a bench at the end of the bed. She walked in and went straight to the closet. She came back out with a pair of jeans and a sweater.
"These should fit you. You can come downstairs when you are ready."
"Alright."
After she left the room I found a towel in the bathroom attached to the bedroom to dry off some. I think it took me almost five minutes to wring the water out of my hair and into the sink. Then I redid the braid in my hair. After dressing in the warm clothes Bella gave me I headed back down stairs. No one was in the living room when I got there, but the little girl came into the room down the same set of stairs that I had just came down. She walked up to me and held out her hand to me.
"My name is Renesmee but Jake calls me Nessie."
I carefully shook her hand, which to my surprise felt warm to the touch.
"Well, hello Renesmee my name is Hope."
"Nessie what did I tell you."
"You said to behave and all I was doing was saying hello."
I looked up at Jacob still confused about what is different about him and why he says he doesn't know Warrior. I noticed in the refection of the window that Bella and her family were standing behind me watching us. I stood up from leaning down to talk to Renesmee to face them. There are more of them in their coven than I thought there is. It surprised me a little and made me want to run out the door. Edward said something to one of the other guys and suddenly I felt calmer. Bella then introduced me to everyone.
"Bella told us that you were looking if someone out in the woods."
It was Esme that said something. Bella introduced Esme as their mom and Carlisle as their dad.
"I was looking for Warrior, he is my wolf."
Some of them looked over at Jacob when I said that Warrior is a wolf.
"I already told you guys that neither Sam nor I have a wolf named Warrior in our packs."
The one named Jasper spoke next, he is the one that Edward had said something to before I felt calm around them.
"How long has Warrior been missing, Hope?"
I had to take a moment to think about how long I had been out in the woods looking for him.
"He has been missing for three days. He didn't come home after the pack meeting. When he didn't come home after six hours I went out to look for him."
Jacob got up from his seat on the couch and stormed out of the room. Edward got up and went after him. Even though they are in the other room I can hear everything Jacob is saying to Edward. He is talking about how he thinks I am crazy and lost my mind. I kind of ignored the others while I listened to them.
"Hope"
"Yes, Esme?"
"Are there other wolves in Warrior's pack?"
"There are four of them including Warrior."
"Can you name them for us?"
Edward had come back into the room but Jacob wasn't with him.
"Jake went to get the rest of his pack. But can you please tell us about the rest of Warrior's pack."
"Well, Warrior is the second alpha of the pack. Jacob is the alpha and the other wolves are Thomas and Quil."
"What else do you know about the pack?"
"I don't know much about them."
"You said something to Jake about spending too much time with Uley."
"Yeah, Thomas, he doesn't like me and is mean to Warrior. Warrior says that he told Jacob that he doesn't like me because I apparently scare Beatrice."
"Who is Beatrice?"
"She is Thomas's imprint. I don't know why she would be afraid of me. I am always nice to her. She was the first imprint of the pack."

Warrior's Point of View
"Hope I have to leave for a pack meeting."
"Again I thought you had one last week."
"We did but Jacob wants to have another one."
"Alright."
She ran across the room to me and hugged me tight. I picked her up and spun her around in a circle placing a kiss on her forehead. Then I set her back down.
"I will have dinner made along with fresh bread when you come home."
I smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss. If I don't go now she will end up making me late.
"I promise to be home in no longer than two hours."
She watched out the window as I walked across the yard and into the woods. I phased and then caught up with Jacob at our pack meeting place.
"Where is everyone else?"
"This meeting is just the two of us. You and I have to talk about Hope."
"Why do we need to talk about my imprint?"
"There has been talk around the tribe that she scares more of the women besides Beatrice."
"You and I both know that Hope has never done anything to any of them. She isn't a threat to any of them."
"I know, but you know we are supposed to make the tribe feel safe."
"Yes, it is but she isn't going to hurt them."
"We don't know that she won't. What if something accidently sets her off?"
"Do you think that if she there was a chance that she would hurt the tribe that I would have imprinted on me?"
"I don't know, we know every little about imprinting."
"What else do you possibly want us to do? We already moved to the very edge of the tribal land."
