Blue Moon-

Chapter 1- Surprise!

A little experiment of mine, written with my friend Zeri. Summary- Shawn has been looking for her brother since she was left in the orphanage, twelve years ago. She finally finds him, and goes on her way to meet him. Her brother? Sam Uley. An unexpected twist in the lives of the pack occurs as the alpha's long lost sister finally re-appears and returns home. Unbeknownst to her, the tension in La Push is building as Victoria dances along the border, a new born army is building, and the pack begins to grow.

Shawn has had the wolf gene her entire life, and it has been semi-active for many years, the fever, the dreams and the healing rate. Now, finally back where a the existence of vampires could set her off, Sam will do anything to keep Shawn from phasing. But not even the alpha can stop the change once several events fall into place. An imprint, a near-drowning surf accident, and a face-to-face meeting with Victoria push her over the edge.

The series of events to follow is more than any of the pack could have predicted. A new wolf during Eclipse, just as the newborn army nears. The alpha's sister, a small female wolf connected to her brother and to her imprint, tied to the pack in more ways than anyone else. Now tossed into the violent conflict between the supernatural creatures, will she be able to hold her own? Or will Sam truly find out the meaning of easy-come-easy-go?

Jacob Black POV-

"Bella!"

"Hey Jake," She said, smiling as she got out of his car… stupid leach. He shot me a quick glare just to remind me that he could hear me. Yeah well, don't like it don't listen bloodsucker. As soon as she crossed the treaty line I ran up and wrapped my arms around her in a hug. I heard a small growl from said nosy annoying leach at that particular moment but at that point, I didn't give a damn. I happily thought about how nice it felt to have Bella in my arms.

"So how you been Bells?" I asked as we pulled away onto the road.

"The usual."

"No bloodsuckers tried to kill you again yet?" I smirked.

"It's not funny Jake!" She said seriously, "Victoria is dangerous!"

"Sure, sure." I just smiled at her, she was way to wound up about it. As we drove past the La Push map Bella noticed something,

"Hey Jake, she looks lost." She pointed to a girl staring at the map blankly.

"Yep she does." I shrugged.

"Jake!" Bella said, like she was scolding me, "We should help her." I sighed and hit the brakes,

"Sure…" I grumbled, "Hey! You, yeah you!" I called and the girl looked over. She looked Quilette, for sure. She was a kid, about fourteen, her black hair just tickled her chin and her eyes… her eyes were two different colors. One was a deep brown the other a light sky blue. It looked odd… but made her kind of pretty at the same time. She was beautiful… I wanted to see her smile. She actually looked like she was on the verge of tears but forced a smile,

"Yeah?" She asked quietly.

"You lost or something?"

"Um…" She looked around quickly, "actually I am. I'm looking for…" she grabbed a black bag off the ground and pulled a notebook out, "Joshua Uley. But, I got lost and I just been walking around all day like a complete idiot."

"Joshua Uley, okay-" I paused, actually processing the information, "Wait a second, did you say Uley?"

She blinked, surprised by my reaction, "Yeah, didn't you hear me?"

"No it's just…" I frowned, "The Uley's don't get many visitors, and Joshua Uley hasn't been around in a while, it's just his son."

"Oh…" The girl said, "Well that's okay, I'm just looking for anyone in the family, doesn't really matter who."

"Okay…" I said skeptically, "Well, it's about a mile up that road… and I was planning on going there anyway so I could give you a lift if you wanted."

The girl smiled and shook my hand, "Thanks, my name's Shawn."

"Jake." I shrugged, "Where you from Shawn?" I asked and she hopped into the back of my car.

"Uh… actually I'm from southern California, as a matter of fact." She said with a small smile.

"Wow!" Bella gasped, "How'd you get all they way this far north?"

Shawn smirked, "Funny story."

Now I was curious, "Mind telling?" She laughed,

"I had a sweet bike… 900V twin!" She said sadly. I gawked,

"No way!"

"Way… but it ran out of gas… and I'm broke so I left it with a friend and hitch-hiked here. Well, I took a bus once but got kicked off because I couldn't pay." She ran her hand through her short hair and covered a mysterious smile, hiding some kind of secret.

"So… I've got a few questions." I started. Like, what kind of parents let their kid hitch-hike to another state? Why was she here? Et cetera, et cetera.

"Well, you know the Uley's right?" She asked,

"Yep."

"Well then, you can find out later." She said cheerfully. I growled quietly and Bella rolled her eyes. We pulled up to Sam's house, I hit the brakes really hard and I heard a hollow 'thwack' sound.

"OW……" Shawn said from behind me, I looked around at the backseat… which was empty.

"Shawn?" Bella called.

"Squished against your seat." Shawn said, "Ugh, I think I just freaking broke my nose!" She muttered, her voice messed up. She flopped back onto the seat holding her nose,

"You weren't wearing your seatbelt were you?" Bella asked quietly. I burst out laughing, it was just too funny! Shawn glared at me, but then cracked up laughing,

"Gotcha!" She said, taking her hand off her nose. There was no blood and her nose was just as straight as before.

"Shawn!" I said, exasperated… whoa, this girl grows on you, fast.

"You snooze, you loose!" She said, jumping out of my car and running for Sam's front door. She paused, her smile dropped right away and she frowned. Twice she raised her hand to knock, and twice she dropped it. "Uh…" She started muttering to herself.

Grinning broadly I stepped in front of her and knocked on the door loudly. Shawn looked at me as if I was mad. Then, just as someone opened the door, she reached up and smacked the back of my head, "Stupid Jake, real stupid."

"Hello?" Sam said, holding the door open, eyebrows arched in confusion. I froze in mid laugh and Shawn lowered her hand suddenly, jamming it in her pocket.

"Oh… shit…" Shawn muttered, "Erm… hi there, I'm Shawn… I'm looking for Joshua Uley, Jake said this was the Uley's place…" Sam glared at me.

"Yes, but Joshua hasn't been here in a while, I'm his son though if this concerns the family."

"Um okay…" Shawn twiddled her thumbs awkwardly, Sam sighed,

"Just spit it out." He said, Shawn inhaled sharply,

"JoshuaUleyismyfather." She said in one big rush. I felt my jaw drop, Sam stared, Shawn squeaked and covered her mouth, "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" She chanted frantically.

Sam stared for a long time, then he took a step closer to Shawn, "Shay…?" he whispered, confused. Shawn gawked,

"SAM?!" She practically yelled, "Holy shit!"

Sam closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around his sister, who was tiny in comparison. "Shay… what happened to you?" He asked, setting her down.

"Wow… it's been so long, I barely even remember you…" Shawn's faced contorted into pain and sadness, "I spent the last ten years in an orphanage in California." Sam growled.

"HEY!" Paul yelled, walking outside with the pack in tow, "What's going on out here?"

"Guys, this is Shawn," Sam said, "Shawn Uley… my sister."

Kim squealed and ran over throwing her arms around Shawn, "It's so nice to meet you!"

"Care to explain?" Paul asked,

"Sam can't," Shawn said quietly, her eyes flicking up at him. Paul shivered slightly, her eyes crept him out, one blue, one brown. "I only knew Sam from when I was very young… my mother ran away bringing me with her… I don't remember anything else from being that young. Next thing I have is being in the orphanage getting in a fight with a teenage boy when I was six."

"Shay…" Sam said, "That's terrible."

"Yeah I know!" Shawn said, "That guy was a complete jerk!" She joked, referring to something besides what we were talking about.

Sam engulfed her in a hug, "I really missed you Shay." He said. Then set her back down on the ground, "You're… tiny."

"Says the giant!" Shawn laughed. Sam ruffled her hair laughing.

"God Shay…" Sam sighed, "I swear that I remembered you, you were always in the back of my head somewhere."

Shawn laughed, "And finding you was my number one priority for the last three years." She laughed. Sam winced at that,

"Three years?"

Shawn looked up at him, "You're a hard boy to find… Sammy." She said. I howled in laughter, did she just call him Sammy? Sam growled at me, and I shut up. But I was still laughing with my expression.

"So, want to meet everyone around town?" Sam asked.

"Of course!" Shawn squeaked. "I barely remember anything… actually, strike that, I remember nothing."

Sam smiled, "I think some of them remember you."

"Oh no!" Shawn said, exasperated, "What did little me do to annoy people ten years ago?"

"Relax Shay, nothing bad." He rubbed her shoulder reassuringly. "Come on, you should meet Billy."

"Who?"

"Billy Black," Sam explained, "Jake's dad." Shawn smiled at me,

"I believe I owe you a thank you Jake, for helping me find Sam." She shook my hand. Her hand was pretty warm… it was kind of nice… wait a sec! Oh, I swallowed hard, her temperature was close to mine.

"Hey, Shawn… do you feel okay, I think you have a fever." I said pointedly, looking at Sam, who's smile quickly disappeared, replaced by a hard expression.

"Oh, it's weird like that, been happening most of my life, I went up as high as 107 once! Scared the nurse to death!" Shawn chirped. I grimaced.

"Yeah, let's go find my dad…" I said. The walk down was quiet, Shawn was wide eyed like a kid in a candy store looking at the cliffs, the ocean, the forest, everything.

"So Bella, what's your story?" Shawn asked.

She blushed, "Um… I live with my dad, he's the Chief of Police in Forks and I go to the local high school." Bella muttered,

"That's pretty cool." Shawn clucked, "You're shy… you shouldn't be, you're really pretty and nice." Bella blushed furiously and I laughed. "What?" Shawn asked, "I tell it like I know it."

I shook my head and opened the front door to my house, "Dad!" I hollered, "We got some visitors!" He rolled into the living room,

"Well who's this, Jake?" Billy asked me, looking right at Shawn. She waved back at Billy.

"Billy, this is Shawn, Shawn Uley." I stressed her last name. A look of recognition dawned on my father's face.

"Oh! Shawn, of course! Still got that white in your hair I see." Billy said. Shawn blushed,

"Yeah, it grows white naturally… but it like it." She said, Billy nodded.

"It's unique, it suits you. Been a while since I've seen you, you don't remember me do you?" He asked,

"Not really… sorry." She said, "But it's nice to meet you." She shook his hand and he glanced at me slightly panicked, I sent him a glance that said I knew but I wasn't sure what would happen.

"So how old are you now Shawn?" He asked,

"Nearly sixteen, give me two more weeks." She said with a smile.

"Jake," Bella said, looking at her watch, "I have to go home, Edward will pick me up." She said, I sighed, great, there goes my day.

"Who's Edward?" Shawn chirped,

"Bella's boyfriend." I growled. Bella shot me a 'look'. "Hey you want to come while I drive Bella to the border, you know, get to see more of the reservation?" Shawn's expression brightened,

"That would be awesome." She smiled, "Let me grab my bag."

She grabbed her notepad and a pen, some drawings were all over it. Natural scenes, with running wolves and there were mountain lions, coyotes, waterfalls, bears… "Those are really good." I said quietly, glancing at them. Shawn reddened,

"Thanks. Everything out here looks really different than the city." She said, looking around. I don't think I'll ever get used to her eyes… one blue one and one brown one, it was almost hypnotizing.

We got in my car and I drove it out of the driveway, heading for the border. Shawn was in the backseat, doodling away about more wolves. If she was having dreams about wolves… we were in serious trouble.

"Do you dream about wolves to?"

"Yeah… but they're really big ones, like, too big to be real." She said distantly. I cursed in my head. Wow, this sucks… Leah will be happy, but this sucks. She must have been close to phasing for years if she's constantly running a fever like that. Sam is not going to be happy.

Speeding around the corner, I saw Cullen waiting on the other side of the line. He was waiting in his stupid shiny car, as usual. I stopped and hopped out, Bella followed. Shawn looked up,

"Oh… huh, didn't notice we stopped." She said. Edward stepped out of his car to. He eyed Shawn wearily,

"Who's your friend?" He asked me, slightly accusing.

"Shawn, Sam's little sister, I'm showing her around, she was an orphan for the last ten years." I explained sharply. Shawn glared at her feet, and shot me a 'gee thanks' look.

"Oh… I apologize for prying Shawn." Edward said curtly. Shawn rolled her eyes slightly and focused on the woods to the side of her.

There was suddenly a gust of wind, tearing through and swirling around in all directions. I could smell the Cullen leach, and I could also smell Shawn. She smelled like a wolf.

She smelled like a wolf. The reaction was instantaneous.

Edward snarled and grabbed Bella's hand, pulling her across the line. Shawn collapsed on the ground, her hands covering her nose and mouth, gagging.

"Uh… let's go into town Shawn." I said quickly, grabbing her arm and towing her away.

Once we were in the car and headed to Forks she relaxed a little, "Wow… what just happened?" She asked.

"Nothing." I said, gritting my teeth. I felt a sudden and rare stab of guilt for lying to her. She sighed,

"Hey, is there a gym at La Push, like with weights and stuff?"

"No… why?" I asked.

"Oh… um, just cause, is there one in Forks?"

"Yeah."

"Drop me off?" She asked, her hands were slightly clenched. I nodded grimly, and pulled over once we reached the high school.

"Don't break anything!" I hollered after her. She didn't even look back. I felt a nagging tug, towards her, and a… loyalty, hard to describe. I wanted to be around her, be near her. The feeling was small, but it was definitely there.

And it was building.

So… that was chapter one of my little 'La Push' fan-fic experiment. Zeri is my co-writer and we've been working on this for a while. Put some thought into it ya-da-ya-da-ya. What do you think? Too rushed? Too much, too little? Let us know, review!
