Sitting on the trolley was annoying. But of course, family made you do things you would never do by yourself. It was crowded and hot, even though I could barely feel the temperature seeing as I was frozen in time. And of course, there were all the guys just staring at me and my sisters. I rolled my eyes at my youngest sister flirting with one of them.

"Remember who we're going to see. And their 'diet'" I leaned over and said to her. She glanced my way quickly with a frown, then walked off to the other end of the trolley where 'mom' and 'dad' were sitting. She slumped next to them and stared out the window. The guy stared after her wistfully. I moved to fast for him to see I was the reason she left.

I turned back around and watched the trees go by. I could feel the eyes still on my head, but I did my best to ignore them. Just like I was ignoring that scratchy feeling in the back of my throat from whenever others were around.

"Delilah, We're getting off next." I heard my mom say quietly. I hated when she used her quiet voice. It meant I was the only one that heard it. Damn super hearing. I got up, making half the guys jump unconsciously. Maybe it was too fast? No, that one just was staring at me too intensely. I rolled my eyes and walked human speed over to my 'family'. Dad hit the stop button, and the trolley came to a quick stop, causing everyone but us to sway in their seats. I laughed as I jumped off the trolley and started into the woods via the old worn path that few could really see.

"Delilah! Wait up!"

"Suzannah! No." I teased her. Once we were out of sight of the road and any human eyes, we ran. I loved this feeling. In my 300+ years, I would never tire of the feeling of the wind in my hair, the grass beneath my feet, and the thought that no one could catch me. I was fast. "If I slow down for you, how is that going to train you?"

"Fine. Just don't forget, you can't be out here long. Mom wants to go see the Cullen's ASAP." Suzie said before running off another way.

I ran for another five minutes, then I headed to the clearing where everyone else was. I saw my family of five standing facing the Cullen's family of eight. Carlisle of course was smiling, as was Esme. But everyone else had other expressions. Alice was bouncing around, Jasper was watching her with a small smile on his face. Rosalie was playing with her nails, Emmett flexing his muscles. And of course there was Edweird. He was staring at some brunette with this weird mushy gushy face. And she was staring at us with a scared look. Like we were going to attack her. Ya right. From what I remember, she was a newborn, and was way stronger than any of us for at least another few months. I rolled my eyes and stepped forward, seeing as my family didn't realize I was here.

"Esme! It's so good to see you. Thank you for letting us come visit." I said, giving her a big hug. I moved onto Carlisle, then to everyone else, excluding Edweird and the brunette. I just kinda waved to them. Then I moved past everyone and into the house. "Alice, I assume you made my room perfect and up to date on all the latest fashions?"

She squealed and followed me quickly inside, passing me but grabbing my hand and pulling me along to a room that at first look seemed underwater.

"The last time you were here, I remember you were very much into the ocean. I hope that hasn't changed." she said, bouncing around the room. "The closet is of course stocked to perfection. And even though you don't need it, so is the bathroom."

"Alice! Where's my room?" we heard Suzannah cry from the living room. Alice gasped and ran out of the room quickly. I laughed and went to the closet, grabbing a pair of dark blue jeans and a light blue flowing tank with sleeves that tied around the elbows. Then I grabbed a pair of bright blue strappy heels. Pulling my hair out of the ponytail it was in, I glanced in the mirror before rushing downstairs once more.

"I love you all, but they've had me stuck on airplanes and in cars for far to long. I need to go stretch my legs." I said, whistling past everyone. I almost hit Edward when he stepped in front of the door. "Woah… Tall Blonde and Dorky. You almost got toppled."

"You ran inside so fast, you didn't get to meet our newest addition to the family, Del." He motioned back to the living room. I slumped my shoulders and followed. He went over to the brunette who was looking really shy. Honestly, she looked like one of those girls that play the shy game but really aren't. I smiled at her, trying to be nice.

"Delilah, this is Bella. Bella, this is Delilah. She's the middle child to Rex and Darla." she timidly held her hand out. I slapped it in a high five motion, then stepped back.

"Ok, I met her, can I go running now. I'm thirsty."

"If you can wait a moment, Bella and I were just heading out as well." Edward said. I rolled my eyes at him and nodded. Then I went over to the backdoor and entered the darkness of the outside. A few moments later I heard both of them come up behind me. "You know Del, Bella has the same effect with her mind as you do." Edward said. I looked at him skeptically, then took off running, him and Bella not far behind me.

I could smell hikers off to the east, the way I wanted to go, but Edward stepped in front of me when I stepped that way.

"Sorry Del, but while you're here, your family agreed to take on our diet." I stuck my tongue out at him and ran off to the west instead. Before I left them, I noticed a spark in Bella's eyes that wasn't there before.

We each took down a couple elk and a few deer before we were satisfied. Then on the way home, Bella finally tried to talk to me. Edward was surprisingly a few feet ahead of us, but I knew he was listening to every word.

"So, Edward can't hear your thoughts either?" She asked quietly. It was quiet even for a vampire. I shook my head. "It was weird when he first found me. He made me think there was something wrong with me."

"Well, you're with him now. Guess that's all he can ask for." I heard him chuckle slightly. Apparently she heard it as well, considering she smiled. "So, he changed you. Guess that means you're his 'singer' then."

"Yeah." Her eyes sparkled for a moment. Then they returned to me. I raised my eyebrows, then took off running, not enjoying the mushy gushy crap that was surrounding both of them.

I ran east. Not to where the hikers were earlier, but to the south of that. Then, when I hit a city, I stopped running. Maybe some shopping would do me good. But what did I need that Alice hadn't already seen?

I walked around the mall for a bit, then the streets lit with candles. Then I got bored and took off back to Forks. It felt great to be running. I pounced up a few trees, jumping from branch to branch, when a disgusting yet inviting smell entered my nostrils. I stopped mid swing from a branch and ended up falling down. I heard a barking laugh and turned around quickly, only to find a Russet colored wolf with a big smile on his face, his eyes closed from laughing so hard. When he opened them, his laughter stopped, so did his breathing it seemed. I cocked my head to the side, and with that small movement, he took off behind a tree. I sighed and crouched into position to run again.

"Wait." my head snapped to where the wolf had left just moments ago. There stood a gorgeous Indian man in nothing but a pair of cut off jeans. My eyes went wide. This must be one of those wolves the Cullen's warned us about. I didn't remember crossing the treaty line, nor did I remember eating anyone, so I shouldn't be in trouble. But then, why was he here?

"So, it's true. The Cullen's have invited guests over." He said, still staring at me as if I weren't real. "Don't worry. I won't try to kill you. You haven't done anything that I know about. I was just on patrol." I stood up from my position and put a hand on my hip, letting one leg stay straight while the other cocked just slightly. "So, what's your name?"

"I'm Delilah. And yes, I am staying with the Cullen's." I crossed my arms, feeling uneasy about the way he was looking at me.

"Delilah." I rose an eyebrow at the way he said my name. It sounded like when Edward introduced me to Bella. Gag-worthy. "I'm Jacob. I guess you already know I'm a wolf." I nodded. "Well, I was thinking of visiting Bella later today. Maybe I'll see you there as well?" I nodded once more. Wait a second. Weren't these guys like, mortal enemies or something. "Sorry for running off so quickly, but I have to get back to patrol." he smiled, then headed back behind the tree he came from. He emerged a second later as the big wolf. He gave me a big wolfy grin before he turned tail and ran. I stood there for a few moments before I heard a rustling behind me.

"Delilah! There you are. Darla was getting worried." My older sister Titania came out of the bushes. "She wants us all home now." she stood before me.

"Yeah. Be right there." I turned back to the place Jacob had disappeared. It seemed weird to walk away from it, but I did, running to join my sister. "Race ya to the back porch!" I yelled right before I took off. I heard her yelp and then follow.

I won, of course. I was the fastest. She laughed when she showed up and I was staring at my wrist like there was a watch on it. "I am not that slow, you just have more gifts than us."

"I know. But you would think that having a good 200 years on me that you would be able to at least not keep me waiting."

"I am a lady. And a lady will always keep people waiting. If they don't then they're not a lady."

"Where did you hear that?"

"I just made it up. Remember it though. When I write my best selling book, I'll put that in the authors note and it will be the most famous saying there is." she flipped her auburn hair and walked past me into the house.

I loved my sisters. Titania was the more serious sister, but at the same time, she knew when to be funny. Her hair reached just between her shoulder blades, and had a slight curl to the ends. She was shorter than me by a few inches, but still I looked up to her. Suzannah on the other hand had blonde spikey hair, the total opposite of Alice's, and was a good few inches taller than me. But even with those legs of hers, I still beat them both in races. Rex had his black hair cut short, and looked a lot like me. Even though I was older, he was taller, and caught the eye of Darla, my brown haired mother. In the right light, her hair took on a red tint. I was always jealous of her, with my black hair. It would shimmer in the light, but it always stayed black and I had always wanted to change the color. I watched as she interacted with the Cullen's, mostly Carlisle and Esme, talking about recipes. It seemed she wanted to make us all vegans, even though we all have drank human blood since we were turned.

Watching everyone mingle was a wonderful experience. Suzie and Alice were giggling over a magazine with Jasper sitting behind them. Esme, Carlisle, Darla, and Rex were heads together whispering so fast I could barely make out words. Titania was clicking away at a game boy connected with Emmet's while Rosalie did her nails. And Edward was sitting at his piano playing a tune with Bella beside him. She was watching him with rapt attention, her fingers itching to try to play the same tune. I felt the mushy gushy feelings rolling off them once again and went over to sit by Jasper.

"So, wanna play a prank on someone?" I asked him. That earned me one of his rare smiles. He concentrated for a moment, then opened his eyes to look at me. "Change the moods of everyone in here to lust, despair, hunger, then to indifferent with a five second time span of each one." I watched his eyes dance with laughter before I heard a loud groan come from Emmett, and continuing over to Carlisle, Rex, and eventually Edward. I knew what it was from. I giggled, knowing I wouldn't feel what they were feeling. Then all of a sudden, tortured wails filled the room from all the girls. I had to put my hand over my mouth to stop the laughter from breaking out completely. Then I watched carefully as everyone's eyes turned a darker shade than what they started, and then everyone's faces went blank. I couldn't help it. Jasper and I were rolling on the ground while everyone looked at us, then went on to looking at something different. After a few moments though, when he was no longer controlling the mood, I felt a presence behind us and looked up to two sets of angry parents. Which of course made us both laugh harder.

"You two should be ashamed of yourselves. Especially you Jasper." I felt a jolt of electricity go through me suddenly. "How does Delilah make you do these things? It's not right to mess with emotions." Esme was full on mom mode. And trying to keep my face straight was harder than trying to bend steal for a human. Until she turned on me. "And you, Delilah. Just because you can't be affected by others, doesn't make it right to laugh at their expense."

"She can't be affected by others?" A voice came from the doorway. We all turned, only to see Jacob. The Cullen's turned away like it was an everyday occurrence that he was there, but my family watched him. I noticed Bella watched him as well. Almost like she watched Edward, just not as strong. "Is that true? They can't affect you?" He asked me, walking over.

"No. It's one of my gifts. I'm part shield."

"Part?" He sat down, looking confused. In fact, he wore the same expression of my family. He noticed that after a moment of looking around. "Uh, I guess they didn't tell you about me."

"Well, actually we did. They just didn't expect us to be telling the truth." Edward said from the piano. He and Bella came over to sit by us. I moved from standing in front of the couch to sitting in front of it. "Well, these are our friends from Canada, Rex and Darla, Titania, Suzannah, and you seem to have already met Delilah." It was Edwards turn to raise an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, in the forest. He caught me enjoying myself." I said, flopping backwards.

"Yeah. She fell from a branch." he laughed. I shot him a death glare, which made the laughter stop dead. "I think I just startled her a bit. I was on patrol." I watched as he recalled our encounter, and Bella watched with an anxiousness radiating off of her. Even though he was telling everyone else, his eyes always seemed to find their way back to mine, and every time they did, I would watch Bella's flicker toward me with a not happy expression. Finally at the end of the story, I stood up.

"Well, now that you've entertained everyone else, I think I'm gunna just head off. Good seeing you." I pranced up the stairs. I watched as confusion filled the room, and when I got to my room, I saw the confusion coming up the stairs as well. I went into my bathroom for a moment, looking at my reflection. I heard someone enter my room.

"Delilah. Are you okay?" I heard Jacob's voice. I also heard his heartbeat. It was pounding. I giggled to myself and exited the bathroom.

"I'm peachy. Just wanted to get away from the glares from Bella." I said, sitting down in one of the comfy chairs Alice had provided. "Why are you worried about me?"

"No reason." He said just a little too fast. He shifted from foot to foot, a normal human nervous habit. When he saw me watching him, he blushed, then came to sit opposite of me. "So, how's Canada."

"Cold. And dark. Hence the reason we stay there. More sunless days so we can go out like normal people."

"Oh."

"Yeah. We like to make friends with our meals." I said, and then I watched him squirm. "Oh, did they not tell you we're meat eaters? Don't worry, while we're here, we know that we're not allowed to eat a human. Although, a wolf might be tasty." I laughed when he shot me a look of fear.

"Do you enjoy doing that?" I nodded. "Well, it's not nice."

"Whoever told you I was nice, was lying." I stood up. "Well, as fun as it is to sit here and talk with you, you smell like wet dog, and I really am beginning to not like it." His eyes lost all of the sparkle they held just a moment ago. This made me hesitate on leaving, but seriously, wet dog smell is nasty. I left my room, intent on grabbing a car and going for a drive. "EDDY!" I screamed once I was outside of my room. "I WANT THE KEYS TO THE VOLVO! I PROMISE I WON'T CRASH IT!" I ran into his room, knowing he was in there. He and Bella were snuggling on the couch listening to classic music. I gagged at the mushyness, grabbed his keys before he could say no, and ran to the garage.

Once inside the garage, I noticed a tall dark man sitting on the hood of the Volvo. I rolled my eyes and smirked at him. Then I unlocked the doors and we both got in. I automatically rolled down the windows, making the pup smell a little more bearable. It helped that beneath the pup smell was a woodsy scent that was driving me crazy.

"So, you said you were only part shield. What other things can you do?" He asked after a few minutes of driving.

"Well, according to Alice, a lot more than any of us know about. But the things we do know is I can sense most emotions, like confusion, love, hate, and lust. I can't manipulate them like Jasper. I can also tell if someone's lying to me, and I can block my vampire smell from others and appear as a normal human if I want to." I felt his disbelief. "Since you don't believe me, you can either call someone and ask, or you can test it out if you want. Just take a whiff. I smell like a human and not disgusting to you." Without turning, I heard him take in a breath. I waited a few moments for it to sink in, then I turned to him. His face was shocked, but he knew I was telling the truth now.

"How come you have so many gifts?"

"We think my real gift is to absorb gift from others and manipulate them to my liking. When I was human, I wanted to know how others were feeling. I was a psychologist. When I met Jasper and learned that he could manipulate emotions, I didn't like it, but I wanted to be able to know how he did it. That weekend, I was able to see the different emotions people had. Everyone thought that was my gift. But then I met Edward and I didn't want him allowed in my head. So he wasn't. The other two I got from a couple of nomads before I found Rex."

"Isn't Rex like, your dad?"

"Yeah. But he's younger than me. He's only dad because of Darla. If he and I had worked out, Darla would be one of our 'kids' and I would be 'mom'." We were out on a stretch of highway that it seemed like no one used anymore. I was going 120 MPH and enjoying the wind. Jacob didn't seem to like it all that much because his eyes kept closing. Then I realized that he still used tears to keep them moist. I slowed the car down. I realized I had driven south, considering we had already made it to Oregon. I had never been this far south, and I quickly pulled to the side of the road and got out.

Jacob was confused, but followed me anyways. I had pulled over on a bridge and was looking out over the water. I loved it. Jacob looked out with me. We stayed like that for a good half hour before he turned to me.

"You are one of the strangest vampires I've met."

"Worse than Alice?" I prompted.

"Yeah. You could barely sit still while I was talking to everyone, and now you haven't moved in a long time."

"Well, the water entrances me. I've been in love with the ocean since I was a kid."

"That's another thing. I know that Carlisle and Edward remember most of their human lives, but only so much. You remember things so clearly."

"Maybe I stole a part of Alice. She can see things, so maybe I can see my past." I shrugged my shoulders. "What does that have to do with anything anyways?"

"Nothing I guess. It's just, you're different from everything I was brought up to believe. Everything I've been taught since I became a werewolf."

"Which reminds me. I'm curious. Why and how do you stand being with the Cullen's? You guys are natural enemies. And while we're on that subject, why is it that you insist on hanging around me?"

"I don't know. I just know that I can't live without y… Bella. She and I used to be friends." I tasted the lemony scent of a lie but I let it slip. It was getting late, and even though I didn't sleep, I knew he would need sleep soon.

"Oh. That must be the reason for the death glares. Anyways, we should get home. Edwards probably worried about his baby." I pointed to the Volvo. Jacob got in the passengers side and me in the drivers. Then I hit the gas and sped back up to Forks on a clear interstate. Halfway there, I saw the moon and smiled at it. I felt Jacob's eyes on me as I closed my eyes and let the moonlight wash over me.

JACOB

Her skin began to sparkle just slightly with the moonlight. It threw off rays of blue and purple. She was beautiful. But I knew that the second I saw her fall on her butt in the forest.

What I didn't know then was that she was a vampire. I kind of rambled, not really knowing what I was saying. I just knew I had to get out of there and find Sam. I left her standing there when I heard a noise behind her.

Sam was, of course, at his house. Ever since we found out Emily was Prego, he's been hard to get out of there. Emily's eyes lit up when I got there and she immediately began asking questions about Delilah. I didn't answer any, seeing as I was in a complete daze. Sam realized it about a minute after Emily and came over and slapped me on the shoulder.

"Well, what are you waiting for. Go become her friend. It all gets better from there. Just remember not to overdo it. She can always get scared easily." I doubted it. She was up in a tree for Pete's sake.

I ran as a wolf back to the Cullen's house. That's when it hit me she was probably a vampire. But when I smelled her lemon-honey-flowery scent, I couldn't help but walk in. That's when I heard someone say something about her not being affected by the others. Was she like Bella?

I was snapped out of my remembrance by the sound of the tires squealing. She was hitting the brakes hard as we flew into the garage. She stopped inches away from hitting Emmet, who just stood there with his arms crossed and a big grin.

"Sam's here. He wants to talk to you." He told me. I took a deep breath and walked past him into the house, unable to look over at Delilah, knowing she would be wondering who Sam was and why he was here. Better to get it over with quick and then tell her.

Sam was sitting watching the television, which was on the news, and stood up when I walked in. He motioned to the back doors and we walked out.

"You said nothing of her being a vampire." he said, once we were safely outside.

"I didn't know. She has a power that hides her scent. I thought she was a human."

"She fell from a tree and didn't get hurt. How is that human?"

"Not all humans are completely breakable. I thought she was just a tough cookie."

"This is ludicrous. You're a wolf. She's a vamp. It won't work."

"What won't work?" I heard her voice beside me. Her hand found it's way to my shoulder, and although it was cold, it was welcomed to the heat I normally felt. "What won't work?" she asked again.

"Nothing. It's tribal business." Sam answered.

"It involves her Sam. It's no longer just 'tribal'." I pushed. I knew I shouldn't, but he never acted this way about the other imprints. Sure, mine was a death machine, but who are we to chose.

"Just get back to my house as soon as possible. And that means five minutes." He said before nodding to Delilah and then taking off into the woods. I turned to Delilah, who looked calm as ever.

"So, something involves me, and Alpha Stupid don't want me to know?" She said. It hurt that she seemed to have no emotion to what he did.

"Um, yeah. But I promise, once I set things good with him, I'll come back and let you know."

"Sure, sure." She said before walking inside. I saw her light turn on before I left the same way as Sam.

Running as a wolf was always fun for me. But not today. I was running away from where I wanted to be, not to it.

ok, this started as a dream, but the dream ended before the hunt with bella and now its a story... i hope u enjoy it, seeing as im enjoying writing it!!!

ps... reviews r wonderful!!!
