Thud... thud...

Went my heart, beating twice as fast as normal...Well, normal as in normal for a human. I lifted my head, glancing around. Jer didn't want me in yet, he would have came out to get me. I grinned a toothy grin, showing my canines. I could always trust Jeremy when it came to alone time with my Change. I sighed, shaking my thick summer blonde fur and padded down the trail that led to my snack. I froze. Flicking my ear, I glanced around. Small footsteps were heard north to me. Using my senses, I checked my surroundings. Wind was low, good. Nothing else moved but the small footsteps and the faint beating of a small heart. I grinned crouching down as I stalked down the trail. Rabbit confirmed my nose as it gave a satisfied twitch. Good, I've needed a snack. Jeremy couldn't cook for shit. Out of the cooking in the family, I had to use my skills, which weren't very many to cook so we could stay alive. Being wolves; we eat a lot. But gain no weight. We age slowly too. Not that I don't like that. I moved closer, poking through the bushes seeing my prize. Agrey rabbit nibbled on a moist patch of clovers. I bunched up my hunches, crouching as I got ready to leap. The rabbit jolted up its head, the leaf of clover falling out as it squeaked and sped back into its burrow. I stood up furious and bared my teeth, growling lightly. I had everything right. Slow movement, check. In a position where it couldn't scent me, check. Why did it run off.
"Elle." A voice said from behind me. I spun around, snarling not seeing them as I leaped, pinning them down. I bared my teeth at them and growled lowly before the scent hit me. Jeremy. Alpha male. I flew off quickly, bowing my head in apology.
"Sorry Jer." I muttered keeping my head down. The black wolf laughed quietly, shaking his head, showing a rare smile. Living here in New York, we hada lot of mutts. I growled faintly lifting up my head and feinted to the side, dodging a playful swat from Jeremy. I had been left when I was a child, both parents killed. No one knew that I was a werewolf, but Jer did. Especially when he adopted me from the Adoption Home. Jeremy never had kids, never wanted them either, but he thought I should have a chance. Ever since Danny dragged him to the Home to look around. He never found the right one to have kids with that is,but since Jack had been previous Alpha, he had to do something. Being Second in command, he hated watching his father die slowly. When Jack finally died, the others ordered for another to be Alpha - they thought Jeremy wasn't cut out for the job. Why you might ask? Because Jer was a the pack Doctor. We couldn't really go to the hospital whenever we got in a fight with a Mutt and came out bloody. I loved Jeremy like a father, that was what he always wanted anyway. Even when I lashed out at him, when my first Change came, he was still calm and loving.
"Hey Jer!" I laughed snapping my teeth at him and saunted forward. Jer flashed a toothy grin and leaped back running into the bushes. I sneered and ran after him, but just before I did, I snatched up my clothes in my jaws. Nothing is more embarrassing than walking around naked in the forest - it's like being caught on camera, people saying you're Bigfoot. But I learnt to get used to it around my pack brothers that is. We carried clothes though, just incase a annoying human came onto our property and didn't shit themselves or worse when they see a naked woman walking through the bushes. I tore off after Jer, holding my tail high. There wasn't many times these days to do things like this, acting like we did when I was a kid. Jeremy had been busy - either with the pack, or with his work. I blinked in surprise stopping suddenly as I leaped out the bushes, seeing Jeremy standing directly in front of me.
"What is it Jer?"
Jeremy frowned ever so faintly, but I could see it in his eyes. "We have to move."
"What why?!" I barked, shocked. I had lived here for years!
"The pack has grown smaller, Elle... We have to go to our brothers in the West." Jeremy explained. I frowned and shook my head as the information sunk in. "When?"
"Today, everythings packed. I was waiting till you had Changed before we left."
I sighed.
"Don't worry, we'll be living in a large reservation." Jeremy gave a small smile.
"Okay..." I muttered.
"And... You'll be going to school." I jerked up my head and growled faintly.
"Great." Okay. I was sixteen right. I don't like schools. No one does. It's my personal hell on earth. Where little shrimps crowd the hallways.
It was Jeremy's turn to sigh, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Everyone will like you." He smiled faintly. I nodded slightly.
"...Oh, alright." I sighed, giving in.
"Go change back so we can be on the road."
I nodded and sprinted up onto the porch steps, Changing as I closed the front door and walked up to my bedroom. I smirked, Jer left clothes on the empty bed. Ipulled on a tight blue shirt with the words "FCUK" printed on it in red with three claw like marks down the back and a pair of jeans that hung on my hips. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself as I brushed the leaves and twigs out my hair.
I had a faint tan, my long locks of blonde hair curved around my face bringing out my green eyes. I had all the right curves. I wasn't fat. I wasn't too skinny. I was just right. I sighed hooking my thumbs into my pockets, grabbing my iPod off the nightstand and walked out the empty room.
"Bringing all ya pictures?" I asked, glancing over at Jeremy as he stood at the door. You wouldn't expect Jer to be beyond Fourty years old, but like I said. Werewolves age slow. Jeremy had dark black hair with slanted eyes containing two dark brown orbs. He was muscluar. His face showed no emotion but to his family. Jer gave the slightest nod.
"Okay,cool." I smiled. Jeremy was a excellent artist. He had drawings and paintings of his art that had been hung on the wall. One of the embarrassing ones were the one he painted of me. He has asked me to lay down on a long deep red couch, wearing a stunning blue dress. I had agreed and did so. I sat there for over three hours, unmoving. When I finally got to look at it - was when I got it for a birthday present a week or so later. It was unbelievable. It looked as if he took a photo of me instead of painted it. Who ever said Alphas couldn't be a artist and a doctor?

We got on our flights, which didn't take long. Hated the over-crowdness, specially when the flight was delayed for thirty minutes. I was practically growling at people as we grabbed a bite to eat.

Finally when we got off the plane we thankfully rented a car till we got to the house, since Jer said there was already our new rides' waiting there. I was so glad I had gotten my license, took a while to convince Jeremy to let me take lessons though. I mentally groaned at the large sign that said "WELCOME TO FORKS"
I added under my breath, "Population.... 0."
Jeremy laughed lightly at my comment, "Now, I won't tell you who the younger ones are, you'll probably meet them at school Elena."
I blinked and nodded slightly, "I'm game." I grinned, surprisingly happy about the overshadow of green this little place had.
"Just like the forest..." I muttered softly.
Jeremy laughed quietly, "Welcome... Wolf Princess." He mused and pulled into a long driveway. I gasped seeing the house. It was nearly exactly like home.
"I wanted you to feel at home like you did in New York."
"...Thanks Jer." I smiled, glancing at him as I jumped out the car when it came to a stop and looked around.
"Enrolled you in school already, you should check it out; you can start today if you want. Your books are in the back." Jeremy smiled getting out of the car. I nodded and reached into the back seat, grabbing my long tan coat and my book bag.
"Okay Jer." I smiled pulling it on and ran down the road, faster than a normal human.

I slowed to a stop blinking as I looked at the school.
"...wow..." was all that came out of my mouth. I sniffed the air slightly, seeing if anyone was out there and walked into the school yard, few people were out. Must be beginning of first period. I walked up to the front desk and smiled politely at the brown haired lady sitting quietly, reading a book.
"Um... hello." I greeted quietly, already not used to being near different people.
"Oh! Hello dear, you must be Elena Mccaft." The woman smiled and handed me a blue slip of paper. I took the paper and nodded slightly, "Yes."
"First class has started, You have Photography first." The woman nodded. I smiled.
"Thank you." I replied and turned down the corridor. It dawned on me after a few moments... I didn't know where to go.
"Hmm... are you lost?" A voice asked.
I flinched slightly, whipping around to see who the voice belonged to.
