Princess Bella Dakota
Chapter 1: Meeting the Pack
Bella POV
I was running. From what or to what, I was not sure. All I knew was that I was a ten-year-old girl from an asylum on the run. Why I was there, I have visions of the future and know all about vampires, werewolves, and any other mythical creature. My sister and I are special like that. She left the asylum yesterday and told me she would wait for me. Only, she is not here and it reeks like vampire.
Not wanting to be killed, I took off. Amazingly, I was at least as fast as a vampire. But not fast enough. I felt someone jump on my back, and, from the temperature, I knew it was a vampire. I smashed it into a tree and looked around. There were hundreds of newborn vampires fighting. In the middle of a circle of vampires, stood my glowing sister, Cleo. Knowing what she was doing, I concentrated all of my strength on burning vampires. There was a screech and we both opened our eyes to a field of little fires. Cleo ran toward me, and, leaping over fires, jumped into my arms. When my mom put us in the asylum (we did the glowing thing and made things levitate), I was five and Cleo was one, so I promised to take care of my little sister. Getting caught in the southern vampire wars was not protecting her.
"Come on," I said, my voice could easily be mistaken for that of a vampire. "Let's go somewhere safer."
2 Days Later
We were running through the lush, green forests of La Push, Washington, when I smelled werewolves.
"Hide, Cleo," I hissed. Why did we have to have a problem on my birthday, like, really?
Cleo climbed up a tree and out of view. I just stood there, waiting.
Ten people walked into the clearing I was in. "Who are you?" the leader asked.
"I will tell you when you tell me who all of you are."
So he pointed everyone out to me. "That is Sam, Jared, Quil, Seth, Paul, Embry, Collin, Brady, and Leah. I am Jacob Black," he said his name like he expected me to bow down to him
"Okay. I am Isabella Lee Dakota." Everyone gasped when they found out my name. I motioned for Cleo to come down from the top of the tallest tree. She jumped down and landed right next to me. "This is Cleo Mary Dakota." Everyone just stared at us like we were royalty. Well, I guess we are royalty because it has been our family that has ruled the tribe forever.
"What up, pups?" Cleo asked the pack, much to their amazement.
"Yeah, Fido, what do you pups want?"
"I am going to like these girls," Leah said.
"Nothing is up, princesses, w-"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL US?" Cleo and I yelled at this Jacob. We started shaking violently, but Cleo calmed down with the help of Leah. I, on the other hand, exploded into a tiny, smaller than a normal sized wolf, pitch black wolf.
"Dude, that was AWESOME!" Quil yelled.
Shut up, Quil, I thought. None of us expected what happened next.
"WOW! I JUST HEARD BELLA IN MY HEAD! She told me to shut u- Oh," he finished with a blush. The entire pack laughed at him.
It was then that everyone saw Leah sitting on the ground, comforting a crying Cleo.
"My *sniff* sister *sniff* is a *sniff* giant *sniff* WOLF *sniff*, and you *sniff* guys are *sniff* laughing your *sniff* HEADS OFF!" she managed to get out.
Cleo, I thought, it is okay, I made them laugh.
She jumped when she heard my voice in her head.
As soon as Cleo stopped crying, I was calm enough to phase back. Amazingly, my wolf was small enough that I still had my clothes on. Imagine that, a black wolf running around with clothes on.
"God, Bella, you are smaller than us, the youngest in the pack," Collin said, pointing at himself and Brady.
"You are not the youngest anymore, I am only eleven," I told them.
"Oh, that is new, eleven, female, and alpha of the Quileute pack." The pack, minus Leah, stared at Jacob in shock.
"WHAT?" they yelled.
"Bella is Charlie Dakota's long lost daughter. She is the alpha, and, when she finishes school, the leader of the tribe," he explained.
"Hey, I am smarter than your average kid. I have skipped first, second, fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, and eleventh grade."
The boys stared at me in shock. "WHAT?" they yelled at me
"My sister and I are special. Our mom freaked out when I was five, I had already skipped first and second grade and was in third, and put us in an asylum. I was taught at my level there and they were amazed at my progress and I kept skipping grades. Plus, I had more free time and had lessons whenever I felt like it. I have already graduated school."
"FREAK!" Quil yelled out as a joke.
All of the boys slapped his head. "That is our leader. Be quiet!" Seth told him.
"It is okay, I know it was a joke," I said, earning a few looks from the boys. "What?"
"Normal, new werewolves have temper issues and that should have set you off," Jake said.
"Well it didn't. Don't you guys know the legends? The Dakota family is not your normal family. They are the only family that has the females phase, so Leah is also part of our family, along with Seth and Jared, his sister, Angela is close to phasing." The boys looked, shocked, between Leah, Seth, Jared, Cleo, and me.
"The Dakota family is also separated into ranks that lead the pack. I am the alpha, Cleo will be the beta, but, until then, Leah is the beta. When Cleo phases, Leah is third. Then it goes, Seth is fourth, Jared fifth, and you, Jacob Black, are actually the farthest from the Dakota blood line and are last." Everyone laughed at how far from alpha Jacob now was.
