The New Wolf

Author's Note

I really enjoyed reading from Jacob Black's perspective, so I decided to write from other wolves' points of view.

PMs and reviews are welcome, tell me what you think!

I hope you have as much fun reading this as I did writing it!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga.

I do own Tam, and any other made-up characters and this plot.

Chapter One, A new friend

Tam's Point of View

I run through the forest; my wolf-paws rake the damp earth and my heart pounds hard. Wind whips through my thick fur.

I lift my nose to the wind and inhale deeply. I smell earth, pine, and summer rain.

I smell something else too, hot dogs.

I follow my nose, curious. There are no hot dogs in the forest. I stop at the treeline.

Sevral Indian boys are lounging around a roaring fire. They're very relaxed, open, like there are no secrets between them.

I wish I could belong like they seem too.

Not only are there hot dogs, there is soda, mashmallows and chips.

I turn away, and slink back into the woods.

The boys wouldn't welcome a wolf crashing their cookout.

Seth's Point of View

I look over at the woods, a white wolf is watching us. It has intellingent eyes. The wolf walks back into the woods.

I feel an urge to follow it. I snatch a hot dog and run into the woods.

I pull off my shorts in one practiced movement, and tie them with a cord around my ankle.

I explode into my wolf-form, gaining a hundred pounds of wolf fur and toned muscle.

I smell the ground, I catch an unfamiliar scent.

I follow it, hot dog clamped firmly between my jaws. I run, going faster and faster until the surrounding trees and shrubs are a green blur.

I stop; the white wolf I was following is standing in a clearing.

I could hear her mind. A startled yelp slid through my pointy teeth.

"Whoa," she wasn't Quilete, and we couldn't hear normal wolves, they weren't like us.

"Why are you following me!" She thought, her thoughts stinging like blows.

I floundered mentally for a few moments; then replied.

"You looked hungry, so I brought you a hot dog." I dropped the hot dog on the ground.

"Thanks," she thought, stepping forward and scarfing it in one chomp. "I love hotdogs," she added.

I noticed that she was smaller than Collin and Brady, who were both thirteen.

"I'd better go find something else to eat," she thought, turning to go.

"Hey, wait," I thought. "I don't even know your name."

"Tam," she replied, amused now. Her wolfy lips curled into a small smile.

"Come back with me," I said instinctively.

"We're all wolves, and there's lots to eat."

Tam though about that for a moment.

"Ok," Tam decided. "Lead the way."

I turned and ran; Tam's paws touched the ground rhythmically as she followed.

When we got to the cookout she deliberately turned her nose away so I could phase.

I closed my eyes, and willed myself to become human. I pulled on my shorts andd stepped into the clearing.

"Hey guys," I said as I walked over.

"Woah, you left," Paul, looked surprised.

I geussed that he hadn't even noticed that I was gone.

"I met someone while I was running wolf. Guys, this is Tam."

Tam stepped out of the woods, she was human now.

She had white blond hair the color of her wolf-fur. Eyes the color of clear water peered out at us; she danced gracefully over on bare feet, showing long tanned legs and jean cutoffs.

"Hi" Tam said.

The guys gaped openly.

Tam blushed, and looked down. She was drawing pictures in the sand with her foot.

I sighed, "way to make a girl welcome, guys. I hope you know that staring at Tam like idiots isn't a very good way to make a first impression."

Tam giggled.

"you know, I didn't catch you name." she said, looking up at me.

"My name's Seth," I replied.

Tam smiled, white teeth glowing against her rosey lips and tanned skin.

"Well then, Seth, I'm glad that I met you."

I looked up; I felt like I was swimming in the clear depths of her blue eyes. "I'm glad too." I said.

"So... can I have something to eat?" She asked.

Eyeryone laughed at that.
