(A Short Fanfiction Story)

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, sadly.

A/N:I apologize if the first phasing for some of the wolves is out of order... Any other problems I would be glad to know about.. Thank You!

Chapter One:

Think about all the people at your school. How many of those people do you really know? How many of them do you talk to on a day to day basis? Well in my town everybody knows everybody; it makes it really difficult to go your whole life without knowing somebody. I live in La Push, Washington. La Push is the Reservation near Forks, not that I would expect you to know where that is either... Well anyways, my name is Bethany. I have frizzy, black hair and tan skin, just like everyone else on the Rez. But unlike everyone else I have green eyes. Most people in La Push have sleek, black hair and dark brown eyes. Because I was so different I kept to myself and didn't talk to hardly anyone unless they demanded an answer...

My parents are divorced and my mom moved to someplace in Ohio. I stayed with my dad, everyone in town knows my dad. He was a botanist and was always traveling out of town to go to conventions and study new plants. Many people in town think I should be as smart as him, which I am, but I just don't care. The kids in school only act like my friend to get help with studying or copying my homework when they don't do theirs. I have a few friends that I talk to, but they don't really understand me. My crush is my best friend's older brother, I've never had a boyfriend, never been kissed, and have never even been asked out. You might think that this is okay, which it kind of is, but I'm turning eighteen soon. I keep it a secret that I've never done any of those things because the kids in my grade love to start rumors. Now do you see why it's such a problem?

It has been two weeks since Embry Call had disappeared, much like the other boys in the La Push Gang did before they came back looking like the Quileute version of the Hulk. The teachers keep giving me all his missed work. They think that because I live next door to him that it automatically means we talk and that I know why he is out of school. Even though Jacob Black and Quil Ateara say that Embry caught the flu. I have a whole stack of notes and worksheets in my locker that I've been given since the first day he was missing.

I walk to my locker at the end of the day and grab that stack of papers. I was going to be nice and give the papers to Embry, but I was definitely not sticking around for very long, I did not want to risk getting sick. He better thank me, no matter how sick he was. I walked out of the school and down the main road, and walked about a block before I cut through a path in the woods. Everyone was always telling us to stay out of the woods because of the giant horse sized wolves that are in there, but I've taken this short cut my whole life and I haven't ever seen any giant wolves. The trail led me right to my backyard; I threw my backpack onto the back porch and walked over to Embry's house. I knocked on the door and waited, no one answered but I heard some loud noises from inside. Embry's mom worked during the day at the diner in Forks so it was probably just Embry making those noises. I hesitated before knocking a little more loudly... I heard a slam and a thud, then a very tall and well built man open the door, it was Sam Uley he's the leader of the La Push Gang. I was at a loss for words. I hadn't really expected anyone, especially not Sam, to open the door.

"What do you want?" His voice was deep and gravelly I stammered, "I uh, uh. I have the work that Embry missed... The, ummm. The teachers keep giving it to me, because we're neighbors and stuff." He nodded and gestured towards the pile of papers in my arms, I handed them over to him. "Umm, tell Embry I hope he feels better. Uh, bye!" As I turned to run back to my house I slammed face first in to something hard and hot.

I looked up to meet the eyes of Jacob Black. Standing behind him were the other members of the La Push Gang, Quil Ateara, Paul Lahote, and Jared Cameron. I quickly muttered an apology and ran to my house as fast as I could. I ran to my back porch and grabbed my backpack and went inside. Once inside I leaned against the wall and took a couple deep breaths. I pushed off the wall and made my way upstairs and into my room, I dropped my bag on the floor and threw myself down onto my bed. I put my arm over my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up I looked to my alarm clock next to my bed which glowed 9:27pm. I lay in bed wondering what had woken me up, usually, if I fall asleep after school I'm out until morning. Then I heard the loud noises outside my house, it sounded as if there were animals fighting, like a couple of dogs were attacking each other. I looked out my window and couldn't see anything; I went down the hall and into the guest room to look out the window from a better angle. I realized that all the lights were out in the house, which meant my dad must've stayed late at work or was traveling and forgot to tell me again. When I looked out the window I could see large shapes moving around in the tree line between my backyard and the woods. Startled, I rushed downstairs and into the kitchen to look out the window of the backdoor.

Sure enough there were six wolves out at the edge of the woods, two were fighting, another two were trying to separate the ones that were fighting, one was lying on the ground watching the others, and the last one was running in a small circle around the fighting wolves, barking and snapping at them. I watched them fascinated by the size and behavior of the wolves; it was like nothing I had ever seen before. When the wolf lying on the ground stood and walked across my backyard and into the Call's, I gasped, the wolf was really close to the back of their house. Maybe only twenty feet away, and getting even closer. As if the wolf had heard me gasp, he stopped moving and looked right at the window I had been staring out of. I quickly pulled away from the window so that he couldn't see me, but I could still see him, he yipped and another wolf let out a fierce snarl. At that moment all the wolves stopped what they were doing and ran into the woods. I took a deep breath and checked out the window once more, nothing. I turned on the light in the kitchen to find something to eat.

I sat down at the table with a box of crackers and a glass of apple juice. I thought to myself that it would probably be best if I didn't take that path behind my house anymore. After I finished, I stood and put my glass in the sink and went upstairs to bed again.
