Okay, there's something a have to say before you read this story. It's about Seth and Shay's son. (Shay is my character from my other story What it means to imprint.) I don't think you really have to read it to understand this one but it might clear some things up later on.

Anyway I hope you like it and please please review and tell me what you think.

And one more thing. This chapter is set 16 years before the actual story begins. I needed to put this in so you could understand whats going on.

Never The Same

Chapter 1 - Secret Revealed

Embry's POV

It had started out as a normal day. Nothing out of the ordinary. No sign what so ever that everything was going to change.

I walked up to the store window. There was a small crowd gathering around the large display window. Looking over all the heads, I saw something that I never wanted to see. It was mine and every one of my brothers worse nightmares come true.

On the other side of the glass was a small TV which everyone there was staring at, shocked. The TV was set to the news channel. You couldn't hear what the news guy was saying but you could easily tell what he was talking about. For a moment it was just him talking but the lettering under him read : "Werewolves exist." The next moment, the guy disapeared to show a short clip, fuzzy, like it was taken from a cellphone camera. It showed, from a distance, three overly large men, talking, laughing, taking their clothes off down to their underwear and then seconds later, three impossibly big wolves replaced them. Approximatly the size of a horse, maybe bigger. One was a dark grey, another was light brown with dark patches and the last was a kind of blue grey color. Zach, Tyler and Klay, the three newest wolves of the packs.

I felt my hands turn to fists at my sides. "Idiots." I swore, causing people to turn around. There was a mixture of fear and disgust in the faces that stared up at me. I felt myself stiffen at their glares.

"Freak." "Monster." People yelled, pointing fingers at me. I raised my hands, as if to surounder, taking a step back as they advanced on me. "GET HIM!" Someone yelled.

"Hey, easy." I said but they continued to advance. I swore and spun around, shooting myself toward the woods and to safety. I heard their gasped from the surprise of my speed just before I disappeared into the cover of the trees.

Seth's POV

"Seth, come look at this." Leah called me from the living room, her voice filled with fear. I frowned and hurried down the stairs and walked into the living room to see a shaking Leah on the couch, staring fixedly at the TV infront of her. My eyes narrowed as I looked at the TV in time to see the clip of the three guys in the woods, laughing and playing around, having a good time, turn into huge wolves. Zach, Tyler and Klay, I thought, my heart beating faster. I gulped and shook my head.

"Mom." I called, hurrying into the kitchen with my sister right on my heels.

She looked up at me curiously, her eyebrows pulling together. "Yes, what is..." She started to say but I shook my head again, cutting her off.

"We have to get out of here, NOW." I said, taking her hand and pulling her outside and into the car. "Go straight to Sam's." I said, closing the driver's door on her before she could say another word.

I looked at Leah and she nodded. "We have to warn the others." She spoke quickly as we took off toward the woods behind the house, hurrying to strip off our clothes and tying them to our legs.

"I'll get the girls. You find Sam and tell anyone else to meet at his house." I said just before we let the fire rip through us and took off running.

Quil's POV

"Hey Claire Bear." I greeted a 7-year-old girl as she and her mother walked into the house, pulling her into my arms and swing her around. She giggled and gave me a hug.

"Hey, Quil." She smiled and kissed my cheek.

Her mother laughed. "Hello Quil." She smiled at her daughter's happiness.

I smiled at her. "Hello Linda. How's it going?" I asked her politely.

"I'm doing okay. I'm just happy you can watch Claire today. I just got a last minute call from the hospital. I need to be there in a half hour." She replied.

I nodded. "You know I'm always here for Claire." I said and tickled the little girl in my arms.

She sighed before smiling. "I know. We're glad she has you."

I smiled a thanks. "Here, let me take those." I said, taking Claire's bags from her with one hand while holding Claire with the other. She smiled as I brought the bags to the livingroom at the back of the house. I was setting them on the couch when I heard noises from the front yard and then I got a wiff of gasoline and fire. I frowned just before there was a small explosion from the front of the house and a scream from Linda. I set Claire down, telling her to stay where she was before rushing back to the front of the house.

Linda was on her stomach on the floor and the kitchen was on fire. I swore as I heard yelling outside. I hurried to her and helped her up before pushing her toward the back door, yelling too. I picked up Claire on the way out. We ran out the door but froze when we saw what waited for us outside.

Five men stood before us, holding up guns at us. Instinctively, I pushed Linda and Claire behind me, putting myself between them. "What the hell are you doing?" I yelled at them.

"Your one of them. The 'things' that shouldn't exist." One said, spitting at me.

Collin's POV

My mouth fell open as I looked at the news report. I was sitting on the couch, my mom beside me, gasping and covering her mouth with her hand. My brother stood in the doorway, staring at the screen and my dad was swearing under his breath from the lazyboy in the corner.

I turned my hands into fists as I tried to control the violent shivers that racked through my body. "Those idiots, what have they done?" I said, not really meaning for anyone to hear me.

My family turned to look at me but I ignored them and continued to listen to the news guy on the screen. "Police are now working on capturing them. However, it is not clear what these beasts can actually do at this time so if anyone has any kind of information please call the number on your screen." He was saying and I swore just as pownding came from the front door.

"POLICE!" Someone called. "We know your in there. Come out now or we'll use force. We have the house surrounded."

"Dammit." I swore as I jumped up and ran for the hall before turning around to face my family's shocked faces. "Don't tell them anything about me or you'll be putting me and a lot of people in danger." I warned them and turned toward the back door.

"Collin." My mom called after me. "What's going on?" She cried but I didn't have time to respond.

At that moment both doors, front and back, burst opened and four armed police officers pointed their guns at me, yelling at me to surrounder. I growled and sprang into action. They didn't see it coming. I grabbed the nearest gun, ripping it from the officer's hands and bent metal until it was useless. Everyone in the room starred at me in shock but I didn't stay long enough for them to recover. I pushed the gunless officer aside, knocked the gun out of the hands of another and ran for the back door. The other two officers shot at me but I got out of the house before they could actually hit me. I growled when I saw ten others outside and knew I couldn't wait any longer. I ran off the porch, throwing myself high in the air and letting the fire change me. I landed on four paws in front of them before jumping over them and into the woods.

Jacob's POV

I was at the garage, working on a car when Embry burst through the door. "JAKE." He called, his voice panicked.

I stood up straight and frowned at him. "What is it Em?" I asked as Jared and Brady came to see what was happening.

"Turn on the radio, quick. We have a problem." He said quickly.

Brady reached over and put the radio on so the news came on. "WEREWOLVES EXIST. There is now proof of this. A young man by the name of Danny Leimen caught three men change into giant wolves on tape with his camera phone. All members of the "La Push Gang." have been comfirmed as werewolves. If you want to see the proof for yourself, go to our website or on the TV News. Also if anyone has any information, don't hesitate to call. The police need all the help they can get. Stay tooned for updates." The speaker said. I stared at the radio in shock, having no idea what I was surposed to do.

"It was Zach, Tyler and Klay." Embry said suddenly, breaking the silence.

"Jake, what do we do?" Jared asked and I shook my head.

I took a moment to think. "Jared, get the Elder's records. We can't have the police find them. Brady get the cash box and then meet us at Sam's. Embry, come on. We have to make sure no one gets caught and that everyone gets to Sam's." I ordered, taking control.

They nodded and started to move. I ran out the back door, Seth right behind me.

Paul's POV

"Come here, you idiots." I yelled, bursting through the front door of Sam's house, Rashel coming right behind me.

The three kids, Zack, Tyler and Klay looked up at me from the couch, fear in their eyes. Good, I thought. They better be afraid. I yelled and they flintched. I lunged at them but Leah and Sam grabbed each an arm and pulled me back. I was shaking but I didn't make any attempt to try and stop. "You stupid kids. You have no idea what you did. You don't know what's going to happen now. People are going to die for no reason all because your too stupid to even check if there was anyone around." I screamed at them, pulling against Embry and Sam's hold on me. "You have no idea what you've done."

"Paul, stop." Rashel yelled at me. "It was an didn't mean to." She said, standing up for them when they couldn't for themselves. She put herself in front of me, frowning.

I pulled myself from Leah and Sam's hold and spun to punch the wall, breathing hard. I felt Rashel's hand on my back so I turned, taking her in my arms and putting my face in her hair to help me calm down.

Just then, Jake, Bree, Jared, Brady, Jez, Quil, Claire, the other imprints and Seth' helping a very pregnant Shay, all pilled into the house. "We have to leave." Jake said sadly.

Sam nodded. "We can't stay. Someone will get hurt if we do. The police are trying to capture us. I'm surprised they didn't come here first."

"But where will we go?" Seth asked, looking down at his pregnant imprint.

Jake shook his head. "I don't know. Canada maybe."

Just then Carlisle and Edward came through the back door. "Boys, I suggest you move your conversation elsewhere. The police are coming." Carlisle urged us, letting Sam and Jake take control. They ushered us all toward the woods just as three police jeeps came sceeling into the front yard. Later I would realize that none of us would ever see that house ever again.
