CHAP 1 – A new beginning

Jamilla POV

'Passport?' I rummaged around in my bag before I pulled out the tiny book and handed it over to the security guard. 'Okay, Jamilla Woods, correct' he asked and I nodded. 'Age?' he asked again. 'Sixteen' I yawned and he handed me the passport back. 'Yep, all clear. Welcome to Washington' he smiled. How can you be smiling? Its like 2am or something. I grabbed my bag and stumbled into the crowded airport. 'Okay, any day now Aunt Zelda should be here…' I grumbled as I scanned the hundreds of people.

'Are you lost sweetie? And its ten degrees in here, aren't you cold?'

I glanced down at my short sleeved dress before looking up to meet the eyes of a lady, maybe 30 or 40, standing in front of me. 'Do I look lost? Friggin hell, leave me alone! And I'm not cold! I'm running a temperature of 66 degrees! Its boiling in here!

'No thanks, I'm just waiting' I smiled. Hopefully that was convincing…Mum always says, oops correction, said that I was grouchy if I had less than 10 hours sleep. Mmm she knew me so well.

'Jamilla! You've grown girl!' Took your sweet time Zelda.

'Hey aunt Zelda' I smiled as I gave her a hug.

'How's my favourite wolf?' she whispered. Zelda was the only person who knew of my little secret. After all, it wouldn't matter if she told anyone, i mean shes crazy anyway so no one would believe her.

I rolled my eyes. 'I'm pretty good, except for the fact im now an orphan' I trailed off as we walked into the car park.

'Yes, well. How's everything back in Australia?'

'well I don't know about the rest of the country but Broome is…hot' I laugh.

'Well, it'll be a great sea change for you in La Push! It's always cold plus some of the locals are pretty good looking.'

'Ew, Zelda have you been perving on teenagers again?' I joked and she shrugged with a face as innocent as the cat that ate my pet canary.

'Well' she started as she her car engine roared to life, 'I hope traffics good because you little missy have exactly 36 hours until school starts! And yes, I did enrol you so don't complain'

'Haha, okay then' I giggled as she drove out of the car park.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

'Come on Mills, spin It!' Laughing, I took the bottle in my hand and spun it on the table.

'Ohhh' everyone yelled, 'kiss the birthday boy!'

Just as I was about to lean in, the doorbell rang. 'Hold on guys' laughed, 'back in a sec!'

I got up and stumbled to open the door. Standing there were two police officers.

'Jamilla Woods?' they asked, and I nodded. 'We have some news. There has been an accident involving your family.' I froze and nodded stiffly.

'Earlier this afternoon your family was driving when an oil tanker rolled over and exploded. Unfortunately, twenty residents were in the area at the time, four of those being your family. We are sorry to say they did not survive the blast.'

NEXT NEXT DAY.

I woke up screaming. Man, I have got to stop having those nightmares. I vaguely remember the ride home with Aunt Zelda but I do remember climbing into bed and sleeping for a whole day, and now it's time to go to school.

Woo, school. I rolled over in bed and flopped straight onto the floor. Damn, I wish double beds would fit on planes, cursed tiny bed!

I rolled onto my back and peered up onto the dresser at my clock. 'Six thirty? What is this?' I grumbled as I stood up and drunkly stumbled downstairs to the kitchen.

'Om nom nom, wheres my num num?' I grumbled as I watched Zelda race around the kitchen. 'Now's not the time, kiddo. Help me find my keys, I'm so darn late!'

'Try the bowl at the front door, Z' I yawned as I scanned the fridge for something edible but with no success, 'And Zelda, please tell me that you have some kind of secret food storage thingy, because there is nothing in this kitchen!'

She stopped and turned around, a guilty look on her face. 'Well Sorry, miss I-eat-20-tonnes-of-food-a-day. I meant to go shopping, but you know, work and stuff' she shrugged as she pulled some money out of her pocket and threw it at me, 'go shopping for me this arvo will you? I guess since ill be supplying for ten people now' she yelled as the door slammed. I sighed and headed back upstairs.

As soon I went into my room I dived under the bed and pulled out my shoulder bag. I stuck my hand in and pulled out my most important piece of technology. 'IPod!' I sang as I scanned through my masses of songs until I found the perfect early morning energiser. 'I wanna be a billionare, so frikken bad…' I sang as I danced around my room picking out clothes from various bags and piles around my room. Yeah, so what if im not a clean freak, I can find my stuff so who cares if no one else can!

I chucked on some skinny jeans and purple-blue long sleeve shirt and my favourite white jacket and located my favourite pair of grey canvas shoes within my piles of clothes and luggage and slipped them on before I raced into the bathroom to observe my amazing fashion choice.

'Oh, Jamilla Woods why are you so hot!' I winked to myself in the mirror. I mean, I wasn't any movie star or whatnot, but I wasn't ugly either. I inspected my face, noting how my jaw bones no longer stuck out from the skin like they had been doing a few weeks ago. I had a rather round shaped face with your typical button nose and everyday pink lips. Not the kind that looks liked iv drawn them with a pencil but not the kind that looks like I somehow shoved marshmallows in them.

Wow, I looked good this morning. I didn't look dead, like I had looked since my family died. My lightly tanned skin had some kind of healthy glow, and it looked the best it had it a long time. My brown eyes were no longer lifeless like rocks in my head. And wow, my nails had grown back. I used to paint them a different colour every weekend before I chewed them all off at the funeral. Now hair, what can I do with you? I thought as I played with my dark brown Hagrid hair and attempted to smooth it out. I ended up lazily braiding it before I grabbed my bag and raced back downstairs.

Before too long it was 7:40 and I was driving my new second hand car into La Push High parking lot. Okay Mills, just keep it cool and low-key, kay?I had just come out of the office with my timetable, lock and map in hand, when I smelt it. The distinct earthy woodsy scent; the smell of werewolf. And it was everywhere.

Jacob POV

'Come on Jake, school starts in 20 minutes!' Humph. Trust Embry to make big deal out of everything.

'Jesus Em, look we're in the parking lot now. Don't freak out.' I got out of the car and raced over to the rest of the pack.

'Hey Jake, Embry. How were your holidays!' Kim smiled as she gave us both a hug. 'The real question is how was your 'holiday with Jared?' Embry asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. 'Nothing happened that you need to worry about' Jared grumbled as he slapped Em over the head.

Just then I catch a smell – familiar, yet so different...

'What the hell?' Paul exclaimed, and I guess he smelt it too. 'What is that? No one else is supposed to be phasing yet...we are the only wolves right?' Up until now I thought so too – as far as we know we are the only werewolves in the world, but all that changed when I saw her.

A/N – Okay guys, take 2 as they say! Story basically starts the same, but it WILL start to differ in the next few chapters so keep an eye out for that! Plus ill try to make the chappies longer too! (;
