Hello, people of FanFiction! :D

Yeah, I know; I said I would be working on my High School Never Ends story, and not on any other story. But I just can't help this story right now. -_-

You see, I've had this story on my mind for a long time. Ever since I've found an anime drawn pic of the Twilight cast, dressed up as their animal personalities, this story idea just randomly popped into my head.

No full summary for this story though… I think the summary on the outside of the story says it all. :D

This story will be A/U since of the basic idea of the story. Jacob – since he can already change into a wolf, he'll stay permanent of his animal… you'll see what I mean later on. (Bella's human too.)

Well, that sums up this new story, so let's begin.


The Animal In You

Bella's POV

Chapter ONE

"Bella, love…" a soothing, velvety voice whispered in my ear, tickling it lightly. "Not yet, Edward…" I mumbled, waving him away. He chuckled, his arms encircling my waist. "Can't let you sleep in any later, love." He whispered again, as I felt his lips press into my hair; I felt him smile.

"Why not?" I asked him, still mumbling sleepily. "School's going to start in about fifty minutes now, love." He whispered, chuckling and kissing my hair again.

My eyes snapped open as I turned towards him. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I asked him, pouting. He touched my lips with ice cold fingers, making goose bumps rise on my arms. "You looked peaceful in your sleep – for once. And I didn't have the heart to wake you." he murmured, kissing my pouty lips.

I sighed, as he sat up on my small bed, while I followed his example. "Well, I'm up now. Let's get a move on." I said, sighing in between. I got out of my bed, gathering up my clothes and other personal bathroom things, before turning towards Edward; he was already standing and waiting patiently for me.

"I'll be right back with the car, love." He said, before coming over to me and kissing my head. Then, he jumped out my window, disappearing.

Ever since Edward had come back from his disappearance earlier this summer, we've grown closer towards each other. He still has his boundaries, but he's let up on some things. He and I can kiss a little longer, taking it a bit further than we used to. But, he knows to respect me and to not go too far – much to my distaste.

Jacob and I, however, have grown farther apart ever since Edward and his family has returned. He is after all a wolf, so supposedly, he and his pack, along with the Cullens, had set a boundary line between Forks and La Push – making it harder for me to go visit him. Not even our letters going back and forth between Charlie and Billy helped my pain and aching to see my brother-like friend again. Edward was set to make sure I wouldn't escape and see Jacob again. He says Jacob is dangerous, but I know he isn't.

Anyway, I went about my house as I got ready for another school day at Forks. Nothing really exciting has ever happened during the summer – except when the Cullens came back, the rumors of why they left had stopped all together. Mike has gone back to avoiding me whenever I was with Edward, and went back to his Golden Retriever habits whenever Edward and his family went "hiking" on rare sunny days in Forks.

Knocking from the door broke me from my thoughts, as I rushed over to the door – tripping over the mat in the process – and wrenched it open; Edward stood there. He smiled and kissed my forehead, his lips lingering there for a few moments. "So, are you ready to go?" he asked me, pulling back a little. I nodded, as he took my bag from my hands, then took my other hand and led me towards his Volvo, where Alice and Jasper were waiting in the back seat.

He opened the front door for me, as I slid inside, blushing; I could still never get use to him opening doors for me. He slid in the driver's seat a few seconds later, before pulling away from my house.

He drove in silence, while his siblings and I did the same thing. We got to the school while Alice and Jasper got out of the car. Edward got out as well, then went over to my side as quickly as a human can jog, before opening it for me and taking my hand. He led me towards the school as we left the parking lot, and we headed off to our first class.

We sat down in our seats, as the bell rang. The teacher came in, with a girl about my height followed in after him. She looked shy, but smart. She had long brown hair that went to her waist like mine, with glasses over her big blue eyes; she had pale skin like mine. She also wore the normal outfit for Forks people – a sweater and a jacket.

"Class, please welcome a new student to Forks High School – Lily Misturie." The teacher announced to the class, as we all clapped for Lily. She blushed from the attention – like I did on my first day of school – and hurried over to her seat, her head down. When she walked by me and Edward, he stiffened suddenly. I looked over at him, as he took out a piece of paper and handed it quickly to me.

I'll explain later.

I nodded and hid the paper as the teacher began walking around the classroom, as he began the lesson.

The day passed on slowly, and now it was time for lunch. Edward got a tray of food – playing the façade – while I got my own as well. We sat at our own table, as Alice and Jasper joined us a while later. I began eating some of my food, while Edward, Alice and Jasper just moved their food around.

Suddenly, a chair scraped across the floor of the cafeteria as the room grew quiet. Edward, Alice, Jasper and I looked up, as we saw it was the new girl – Lily Misturie. "Um, hi." She murmured shyly, blushing. "Hi." I said back, smiling. Edward and Jasper nodded, as Alice said happily, "Hello."

"Um, do you mind if I sit with you guys?" she asked, looking down at her food sheepishly. "No, go ahead." I said, motioning for her to sit. She mumbled her thanks and sat down in the chair she pulled out, as she began eating her food slowly. "My name is Bella, and this is Edward and Alice Cullen, and Jasper Hale." I said, pointing to each of their names. "You know my name already." She muttered, smiling a small smile. I nodded and smiled back at her.

Angela and Ben joined us a while later. "Hey guys." Angela greeted us, smiling. We greeted her back, as we went back to eating. Edward, Alice and Jasper also went back to messing with their food, as Lily looked at them curiously.

After lunch was over with, Edward, Angela, Ben and I walked leisurely to Biology – one class where Lily isn't in. As Edward and I sat down, he immediately tensed. "What's wrong?" I whispered, as he shook his head. He didn't answer me, but stayed silent. Finally, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to me.

I'm trying not to kill you this second; I don't know why but your scent has increased a lot and it's a lot harder to control myself.

I frowned at the note; now I was causing him pain? I sighed, and quickly wrote in my reply in my chicken scrawl.

If it's too much for you, go ahead and leave; I don't want you in pain. I'll get a ride from Alice.

He read the note, before sighing and kissing my cheek quickly, as Mr. Banner came into the room. Edward raised his hand immediately, as Mr. Banner looked up at him and asked, "Yes Edward?"

"May I go to the nurse? I'm not feeling well." He asked Mr. Banner, lying. Mr. Banner pursed his lips, before nodding. Edward got out of his seat and hurried out of the room, as I sighed – relieved that he wouldn't be in so much pain from my scent.

The afternoon passed by, and at the end of the day, Jasper and Alice met me at my last class as I looked at them. "Something wrong?" I asked them. They both looked at me, before looking away in the next second. "Oh, nothing, Bella." Alice said, a little too quickly.

"Alice…" I trailed off warily, looking at her. "Really, Bella, nothing." Alice said again quickly. "Alice, we should let her in on it. She is just as much as apart of it as we are." Jasper said to her quietly, but Alice shook her head. "I know she'll freak out if she sees him now – especially the way he is." Alice argued back.

"What's wrong with Edward?" I asked her worriedly; I knew she had to be talking about Edward. "Bella, you know that Edward left early in Biology, right?" Alice asked me, as I nodded.

"Well, he left for a certain reason." She added as I nodded. "He left because my scent got stronger and he couldn't bear it for long." I stated, but she sighed. "Well, that's part of the reason. Really, he left because – well, I guess we have to show you for you to understand why he left so early." Alice muttered, before taking my hand and leading me towards the parking lot.

---

Alice drove on the highway, going at the normal Cullen speed, before turning into the forest, going down the pathway.

The Cullen Mansion came into view, as I saw that Emmett was pacing outside; hmm, that's a first. When Alice stopped the car, Emmett rushed over to her and scowled. "Hey, she wanted to know what happened to him." Alice said before he could say anything, as she got out of the car. "It's not safe for her to be here yet, Alice." Emmett muttered, shaking his head.

"What's going on?" I asked them, getting irritated that no one will tell me what's happening. Everyone looked over at me, before Emmett tucked me under his arm and guided me inside the house, where Esme and Rosalie were sitting on the couch, while Carlisle was pacing in front of them, looking up at the stairs worriedly after three steps or so.

"Oh, Bella dear." Esme said soothingly, as she got up from the couch and hugged me. "Hello, Esme." I greeted her, smiling. She smiled back sadly, before she took my hand and sat me in between Rosalie and herself.

"Carlisle, what's going on?" I asked him, as he stopped pacing. He sighed, before he answered, "I don't know how to put this, Bella. We will have to show you, since it's too complicated to understand." Carlisle said. Emmett and Jasper got up, as they helped me up, before we walked up the stairs, with Carlisle behind us.

We reached the top floor; where Edward's bedroom door was cracked open. I heard a soft mewling noise coming from it; did Edward or the Cullens get him a cat? Carlisle softly pushed the door open, before looking at me, Emmett and Jasper. We entered the room, slowly, as I gasped at what was inside.

A boy, with a long red mane, along with lion ears in the mane, was chained by its large hands. Whiskers were coming out on its cheeks, while a lion tail was swishing slowly from behind. The boy was shirtless, only wearing sweatpants.

"E-Edward?" I asked, stuttering a little. The boy looked up as my breath caught; the boy had the same face as Edward, along with having the same brooding topaz eyes. "Why did you bring her here?" the boy asked in Edward's voice, as he growled lowly – like a lion – at his brothers.

"She was concerned about you, bro. Besides, she is just as much as apart of it as we all are." Emmett said, rolling his eyes. Edward growled, before lowering his head. I took a slow step forward, as Emmett and Jasper both reached out to grab my arms, but made no move to do so. I continued walking slowly towards Edward's bed, my hand slowly reaching for his mane.

When I was at the foot of the bed, I slowly crawled onto it, before I sat down in front of Edward. I raised my hand again, before placing it on his mane. He froze instantly, but as soon as I began stroking his man, he relaxed and began purring from the back of his throat. "Whoa…" Emmett murmured.

"What's happening, Edward?" I asked him quietly, as I continued to stroke his mane. He sighed, before looking up at me, as I tried to not gasp from his appearance. "When we were in the Biology lab, love, your scent had heightened towards me – like you smelled even more delicious – I had more trouble in trying to control myself. I'm sorry I had to leave you alone in school." He murmured, looking up at me with big topaz eyes. I nodded and smiled, as I waited for him to continue.

"When I came back here, I really felt the need to just run back to school and bite you, but Emmett held me back before chaining me up here." Edward paused and nodded towards Emmett. "So, as I was chained up here, I suddenly felt this pain, as a tail grew out from me, then my hair grew and then whiskers grew on my face. I don't know what's happening to me or why I can't seem to control my bloodlust for you." he murmured, nodding his head more into my hand.

"I don't think you should be by me for a while, love. It's not safe for you." he whispered, looking at me with pleading, topaz eyes. "I-I… can't do that, Edward." I whispered, looking down. "Why not?" he asked me, sounding surprised. I groaned internally; must he be so dense?

"Edward, if you remember – the last time you stayed away from me, I nearly died and so did you. I can't go through the pain of being away from you anymore." I whispered, looking at him with sad eyes, as my eyes began tearing up. "Oh, I'm sorry I asked that, love." Edward began panicky, as he tried to cradle my face – which was a big difficulty since he was chained up to the bed.

I scooted closer to him, as he bent his face down and licked under my eyes as stray tears fell; I froze in surprise – this was new, even for Edward. He made a throaty noise in the back of his throat, while he began pulling at the chains. I gasped, as Emmett and Jasper rushed forward to hold him back. He growled at them, as he began thrashing underneath their holds.

I began backing up and got off the bed, as Edward's thrashing grew more violent. Suddenly, his face grew more feline, as his hands morphed along with his pants tore off, the fabric tearing off easily as his legs morphed into hind legs like a cat. His chest got hairy as he grew in size. I had my back pressed against the door, as I watched Jasper and Emmett struggle to hold him down. "What's wrong with you, Eddie?!" Emmett asked him, growling a little.

Edward snapped his gaze towards him, as he roared – like a lion. He tugged at the chains one last time, before they snapped. He pulled his arms away from Emmett and Jasper, sending them flying back and away from him. He jumped up, his bed giving out from his weight, as he was on all fours, while he roared like a lion again.

My vampire boyfriend, just transformed into a lion.
