*All characters belong to Stephanie Meyer*

****Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic ever so please give me a chance!! I would appreciate any feedback or advise you may have for me. I love the Twilight saga!! I right away connected to it the first time I read the books. At first I was a huge Edward fan but after reading it more times than I count, I started to drift to really liking Jacob too. Now I am pretty much as Team Switzerland as it gets. lol Now I find that I would have been happy if she would have ended up with Jacob too. I am going to try to be very true to the characters that Stephanie Meyer created because I love them all. I am just going to twist what happened after Bella went to the meadow by herself. I have for months been just reading other people stories and just recently decided to try out writing my own. My story is going to be entirely from Bella's point of view.

I will try to be fast about putting up new chapters. I hope you like it and that you decide to take a journey with me to what I wish would have happened. Enjoy!! =) ****

~My story begins in New Moon in the meadow when Laurent is about to attack Bella. The italicized is word for word from New Moon. ~

Chapter 1: The Fairy-Tale Meadow

I tensed for the spring, my eyes squinting as I cringed away, and the sound of Edward's furious roar echoed distantly in the back of my head. His name burst through all the walls I'd built to contain it. Edward, Edward, Edward. I was going to die. It shouldn't matter if I thought of him. Edward, I love you.

At that moment another face entered my mind, Jacob. Jacob had become my best friend and I thought back to the last thing he had told me before he went home after the movie, "...I'm always here. I won't ever let you down-I promise that you can always count on me..." I believed more than anything that these words were true. Jake would never ever let me down. And now I was about to let him down. I hoped that one day he would be able to forgive me for being so risky with my life, acting as though as I was invincible. I realized even though I was still too scared to admit it, what I felt for Jake was slowly starting to become more than purely friendship. A tear escaped from my eyes, knowing that I would never get a chance to explore those feelings. But then reality came back to me again.

Through my narrowed eyes, I watched as Laurent paused in the act of inhaling and whipped his head abruptly to the left. I was afraid to look away from him, to follow his glance, though he hardly needed a distraction or any other trick to overpower me. I was too amazed to feel relief when he started slowing backing away from me.

"I don't believe it," he said, his voice so low I barely heard it.

I had to look then. My eyes scanned the meadow, searching for the interruption that had extended my life by a few seconds. At first I saw nothing, and my gaze flickered back to Laurent. He was retreating more quickly now, his eyes boring into the forest.

Then I saw it; a huge black shape eased out of the trees, quiet as a shadow, and stalked deliberately toward the vampire. It was enormous- as tall as a horse, but thicker, much more muscular. The long muzzle grimaced, revealing a line of dagger-like incisors. A grisly snarl rolled out from between the teeth, rumbling across the clearing like a prolonged crack of thunder.

The bear. Only, it wasn't a bear at all. Still, this gigantic black monster had to be the creature causing all the alarm. From a distance, anyone would assume it was a bear. What else could be so vast, so powerfully built?

I wished I were lucky enough to see it from a distance. Instead, it padded silently through the grass a mere ten feet from where I stood.

"Don't move an inch," Edward's voice whispered.

I stared at the monstrous creature, my mind boggling as I tried to put a name on it. There was a distinctly canine cast to the shape of it, the way it moved. I could only think of one possibility, locked in horror as I was. Yet I'd never imagined that a wolf could get so big.

Another growl rumbled in its throat, and I shuddered away from the sound.

Laurent was backing toward the edge of the trees, and, under the freezing terror, confusion swept through me. Why was Laurent retreating? Granted, the wolf was monstrous in size, but it was just an animal. What reason would a vampire have for fearing an animal? And Laurent was afraid. His eyes were wide with horror, just like mine.

As if in answer to my question, suddenly the mammoth wolf was not alone. Flanking it on either side, another two gigantic beasts prowled silently into the meadow. One was a deep gray, the other brown, neither one quite as tall as the first. The gray wolf came through the trees only a few feet from me, its eyes locked on Laurent.

Before I could even react, two move wolves followed, lined up in a V, like geese flying south. Which meant that the rusty brown monster that shrugged through the brush last was close enough for me to touch.

I gave an involuntary gasp and jumped back- which was the stupidest thing I could have done. I froze again, waiting for the wolves to turn on me, the much weaker of the available prey. I wished briefly that Laurent would get on with it and crush the wolf pack -- it should be so simple for him. I guessed that, between the two choices before me, being eaten by wolves was almost certainly the worse option.

The wolf closest to me, the reddish brown one, turned its head slightly at the sound of my gasp.

The wolf's eyes were dark, nearly black. It gazed at me for a fraction of a second, the deep eyes seeming too intelligent for a wild animal.

As it stared at me, I suddenly thought of Jacob--again, with gratitude. At least I'd come here alone, to this fairy-tale meadow filled with dark monsters. At least Jacob wasn't going to die, too. At least I wouldn't have his death on my hands. I gazed back into the wolf's eyes and for some reason I felt like I was safe, like this wolf inches from me wouldn't harm me. ..this fairy-tale meadow, I thought again to myself. I only felt safe around Charlie or...no, it couldn't be.

Then another low growl from the leader caused the russet wolf to whip his head around, back toward Laurent.

Laurent was staring at the pack of monster wolves with unconcealed shock and fear. The first I could understand. But I was stunned when, without warning, he spun and disappeared into the trees.

He ran away. Then before I could even think, I said, "Jacob?" I slapped my hand to my mouth and at that same moment, the russet wolf slowly turned his head to me. It locked eyes with me and whimpered. The huge black wolf let out a loud growl and before I could grasp what was going on, the russet wolf turned and walked towards the black wolf, letting out another whimper. I stared at the russet wolf as it left my side and then realized that all of the wolves were looking at me. I felt certain that this was the end. I stepped backwards but the wolves didn't approach me. To my amazement, instead, the wolves were after him in a second, sprinting across the open grass with a few powerful bounds, snarling and snapping so loudly that my hands flew up instinctively to cover my ears. The sound faded with surprising swiftness once they disappeared into the woods.

And then I was alone again.

My knees buckled under me, and I fell onto my hands, sobs building in my throat.

I knew I needed to leave, and leave now. But, I couldn't move. My mind was encompassed by the reaction that the wolf made when I said Jacob. Was it just my imagination running away with me? Or was there a connection between me and the wolf? I had to snap out of it. Jacob was far away from this place, he was safe. I needed to get to safety too.

I put all the power I had left into lifting myself up off the ground. I turned and looked around the meadow remembering a time when a different girl walked this meadow. I didn't know her anymore. She was gone, just like him. The thought of him was all I needed to turn and walk out of the clearing. As the memories of that day invaded my mind, I started running. I ran as fast I could. But because of being born a klutz, I kept being reacquainted with the ground. After falling more times than I could count, I decided that I should probably just walk the rest of the way to my truck. I knew Charlie would be furious when I told him that I came out here. He warned me not to, and I should have listened to him. If he only knew that his daughter was a danger magnet, he would probably never let me out of his sight. But now I could tell Charlie that there wasn't a gigantic bear roaming the forest, it was a pack of gigantic wolves.

The wolf's eyes flickered back into my head. The way it whimpered when it locked eyes with me like it knew me and whimpering again when it went to the head of the pack like it didn't want to leave me. Who was I kidding? The wolf probably wanted to attack me instead of Laurent. I still couldn't believe that the pack would choose a vampire over a human for a snack, I guess that's what the russet wolf was thinking too.

About a half hour later, my truck finally came into view. I let out a sigh of relief that I didn't have much further to go before I would be safe. I was glad that I had made it back to my truck without any horrible injuries. Sure I had bruises and cuts all over my hands and legs but that was usual for me. As I got closer to my truck, the fine hair on my neck started to stand up because it wasn't just my truck that was waiting for me on the gravel road. I stopped in my tracks and took in a deep breath. I realized whoever it was had heard me approaching because they slowly started to turn around to face me.

**** Any thoughts?? If you do please leave me a review! I would love to hear what you think! ****
