Prologue

It all started with one apple and when you are running for your life one apple does not seem important. The thing that was connected to this apple was the importance of this. The importance was a hand, two hands in fact and two arms connected to those hands, then there was the body. The body that made me look like the light of day, even though I was a Werewolf. I was surprised about this body.

Chapter 1 Why am I such a dork?

I live in a small town called Ramble with my friends and adopted family. I go by the name of Bell but my name is really Amabella which is a really honourable name were I come from. I go to school at Ramble high and work in the store with all the souvenirs which I always forget the name of. Because I am a werewolf I get angry really easily. I can change into a werewolf whenever I feel threatened or frightened. Sometimes I can change when I feel like it.

My story starts with a boy. Not just any old boy but a boy who looked to be as cold hearted as I was meant to be. He was pale, absolutely gorgeous with his blond hair and deep blue eyes. He looked like he was an outsider just as I was. I couldn't take my eyes off his even when he realized that I was looking. As he looked up I noticed that his eyes turned red in the blink of an eye. Mr. Violice told him to sit next to me. It was science and he looked like he was the sort of boy who new what he was doing. I kept looking at him until I realized that he was talking to me. "Pardon?" I asked. I am an idiot.

"I asked if you could tell me your name, mine is Jake or Jacob."

"Oh, ok, mines Amabella, friends call me Bella."

"Thank you. I like to know who I'm working with."

His voice was so velvety it hurt that I didn't know him better.

"Have you made any friends yet?" I asked really randomly.

"No, I have not. Can you tell me if this is right?" He handed me his sheet.

"Yes I think so but I'm not entirely sure. Do you want to hang out at lunch? You don't have to if you don't want to." Now there is a question that I have never asked a guy in my life. I didn't know what he would say. While he was thinking I noticed that is eyes had gone darker. They were now a brilliant blue. I was going to ask him but the bell went.

"See you at lunch." He told me like a whisper in my ear. I wanted to ask him so much but knew that I couldn't. I ran out of class and into the hall way only to see him weaving through the corridor without touching a single person. There was another question I would ask him at lunch. I realized then that Cameron, my guy friend, not boyfriend, had wrapped his hand around my waist. I politely shook it off.

"What's up sugar? And why are you staring at the new guy?"

That when I realized that Jake was still standing there looking at me. I turned away. All I remember is his deep blue eyes burning into my turned back.

"I am not. And you need to stop touching me like that, people will start to think that we are a couple."

"And that would be a bad thing because?" He asked with a grin on his face which was now extremely close to mine.

"Because, I don't want our friendship to be ruined by some rumour that ends up going around the school." I started to walk to class. He followed and I guessed its because we were in the same class. I felt something light on my waist. I turned to tell him off only to resize the it was Kirsty, one of my girlfriends.

"Hey you startled me," I said just a bit too loudly. I get startled a little too easily.

"Oh sorry I didn't mean to. Who's that new guy? He's pretty cute isn't he? And he's following us." As she mentioned this I turned around to notice that she was telling the truth. It was kind of scary to think that a guy I had just met in class was following me around like some puppy.

"Amabella? Sugar, you ok?" I came back to reality when I felt Cameron's hands tangle themselves around my waist and pull me close. He then let me go with a startled squeal when he realised that I was as cold as death itself. "You're really cold! We should get you to a doctor right away!" He went to pick me up but I was too quick and punched him in the nose.

"Don't touch me you idiot! I am always this cold!" I turned and started to walk out the front foyer. I never looked back as I made the small walk to the forest that surrounded Ramble. I go there to think and to calm myself down. I was just about to step foot in the forest when I felt eyes on my back. I turned to stare into the deep blue eyes of Jacob.

"Um, hi?" I said shakily.

"Hi, what are you doing out her-" I turned and ran into the forest never bothering to listen to what he had to say. I wasn't running as quickly as I could. I didn't want to give myself away. He had no trouble keeping up with me. Before I realized it he had tackled me to the ground and was holding me down.

"Why won't you answer me? I just saw you come out and wondered what you were up to."

"I'm not up to anything! I just need to be alone! Why is everyone so clingy? Nothing has happened to me. I just like to be alone once in a while!"

"Ok! I'll go but if you need any help or you want to talk just ask. Please?" I felt some strange power shoot through me, it felt really weird. He just stood over me and I felt as though I wanted to hit him. I fought back the urge and decided I might as well agree.

"Ok I will. Now can you go?"

"Yes, I will." Yes I thought finally I can be alone! As he walked away I felt kind of bad.

"Hey wait! I'm sorry. I will walk back to class with you if you want?"

"You said you wanted to be alone." As he said this he made his voice sound pretty similar to mine.

"Oh ha, ha I will remember to do that to you one day and it will be were others can mock you." He cringed. Obviously he did not like being around people much. After that we just walked. It was quiet, too quiet. He was keeping something from everyone. I did not say anything. I was planning on annoying him later. We got to school with everyone looking at us. All at once everyone started talking. I think that the rumours were around the school within a minute.

When I got to the door of my next class I said bye to Jake and took my usual spot next to Cameron.

"What's this I hear about you making out with the new kid?" I knew he would ask about one of the rumours but this one was kind of weird.

"What? I was not! He followed me!"

"Well tell him that because he apparently said it was true." I looked at him. More like stared actually. He was looking over my head. I turned only to see Jake standing in the door way talking to the teacher. Every few seconds he would look at me.

"He was with me all of that time! You can't believe that. Do you?"

"Yes in a way I do. I mean I know you didn't make out but you might have done something else." At that moment his hand entwined around my waist. He bent his head down and kissed me. It felt odd. I have never kissed a guy before and hadn't planned to until I actually fell in love. When he stopped I realized that the class had gone quiet. I felt my face go red with embarrassment.

"What was that?" I asked rather quietly. He laughed.

"I love you Amabella and am not going to let you go. WOW! Bells your back is on fire" I hadn't noticed. Someone had lit it on fire. I took that chance and made a run for it. Of course Cameron was too busy to notice. I managed to make it to the front foyer without anyone noticing me. I breathed a sigh of relief. As I walked out into the school playground I started to think why we even had a park. Then I felt it. Only a small amount of pain but it was still there.

"I'm on fire!" I said just loudly enough for me to hear. I stopped and sat on the edge of the pond over the road to the school. I started to put out the fire.

"You do that with such ease." I didn't bother to turn around to see who it was. I knew it was my adopted sister Lilly-Ann. I just called her Lil. "I'm amazed I mean I know we heal quickly but still." She started to splash water onto the fire. Lil was the same age as me. We were both at least twenty years old in a few days. I had forgotten my own birthday until that moment.

"What are we going to do for our birthday?" I asked quickly. Lil was still she didn't move. I was sort of frightened. She only went this still when she could sense magic or another werewolf near by.

"What is it?" I asked quickly. She snapped out of it. My back was still on fire.

"I sense both werewolf and magic near by." I looked around out of habit and saw Jake leaning casually against a tree.

"Where do you think it's coming from?" I asked in a hushed tone. She pointed in Jakes direction. I was now the one to freeze. "Are you sure?" I asked. She just nodded. I fell back into the pond to put out the fire. Instantly Jake was there ready to jump in and save me if need be.

"I'm fine!" I spluttered but he was not convinced. He pulled me out with such ease it scared me. He then held me close, his touch as cold as mine. "Your really cold." I pointed out.

"Thanks Captain Obvious!" He angrily answered back. I never thought that someone that looked so gentle could sound so fierce. I thing I looked completely gob smacked because he looked down at me and asked "What? I'm not that ugly." I snapped out of it straight away. Lil was still behind me.

"Um? I don't think I have been introduced to your new friend." She said but all I heard in my mind was get off him you know we can't love a human! The reason why I could hear this and no one else could was because, being werewolves, we can talk to each other in our minds. Jake let go of me and held out his hand for Lil to shake. Lil took it.

"I'm Jacob or Jake for short." He smiled. It was dazzling.

"Oh. I'm Lilly-Ann but Bella just calls me Lil. Your new around here aren't you?" She asked. She loved to quiz people. One day she quizzed me about something and all I remember was hitting her, we then wrestled playfully and I won.

"Um…Yeah I am. I am so glad to meet you. Do you guys know if there are wolves in the forest? I heard I howl last night. It sounded extremely close." I froze yet again.

Oh God! Was all I from Lil though she did not say it out loud. The wolf that had howled had been me. He had heard my family hunting last night.

"Yeah there are wolves but they only come close to Ramble during the night. They are frightened of people." I piped in before Lil could come even close to saying anything.

Thankyou! I will pay you back later. I only just heard her reply because someone was thinking really loudly. Jake turned and started to walk away.

He started to mumble under his breath. "Why does she have to be in love? I don't think I have ever felt like this before." He turned around. I think it was because of me yelling at him. He turned. "What did you just say?" He asked.

"I said I do not love Cameron if that's what you were saying." The slight frown on face did not change but his eyes told me he was confused. "I mean that's what you were saying, wasn't it?."

"Damn I must have been talking to loud. I will have to work on thinking out loud quietly." He was starting to walk back towards us. He was smiling. "And yes that was what I was saying." He looked surprised as well as extremely happy. Seeing him made me happy. I turned around to see if Lil was still there but, like usual, she had run off to go do something that would help someone. I was shocked though that she had left me alone with a human.

"If you would like we could walk back to school together?" He asked suddenly. I looked at my watch.

"It's past three o'clock. School's out." I said simply. Though this was true I felt kind of smug for knowing something that he did not.

"Can you tell me more about the Wolves?" He asked. I was unprepared for this question and was relieved when Cameron came around the corner.

"Get your hands off my girl!" He was practically yelling. I had not noticed but Jake had put his hand in one of my back pockets. I pulled away.

"I will talk to you later. Here." I scribbled my address and phone number on a piece of paper.

"Thanks. I will call you before I come over though." He whispered in my ear then walked off.

"Cameron! I told you we are just friends!" I started to yell and had to be careful. Cameron did not know I was a werewolf. He just looked down at me as we walked. I eventually gave up. He kissed me yet again and was really protective over me.

"Give it up hon. I love you and I know you love me. Don't try to deny it." He kissed me again but this time it wasn't just to show everyone that I was with him. The kiss was filled with love.

"I don't know who I love at the moment." I was extremely confused. It was Jakes first day and I already feel as though I have known him for ages. It was first day of term three and I was making out with some guy for the first time. Life really did take some sharp turns. I still have bruises from the last turn. My life is finally coming back. I can get over my parents being killed and start my real life.
