Chapter 1

New town, new school, new people, and especially a new life. The worst part is I know no one here, well except my cousins. I haven't seen them since I was 10. It didn't help either that my mom shunned me away before I could really get to know them. But, now that she is gone, I kind of have too. She died 2 weeks ago. I have been staying with my best friend. Her parents got sick of me though, so now I have to move with my only living relatives. I am moving with my Uncle Elliot, my Aunt Karrie, my cousins Athalia, Avanindra,Maicoh, and Angel. I am younger Maicoh, but older than Athalia, Avanindra and Angel. I always loved my cousins, but they tended to leave me alone, which was nice. They live in La Push. They have a lot of friends from the res. I didn't. They summers I used to go up I would hang with my friend in Forks. But it has been years.

Better intro, I am Stevie Roberts. I am 17 and I am moving to La Push in Washington. Yes, I am a girl. I was named after my grandma. I am a loner. I never felt the need to be with people. I am different. I just don't know how. My mom was different too. I never knew why she died. She just took off one day and when I looked for her I found her cloths torn and a bunch of her hair everywhere. I called the cops but all they could say was that she was attacked by a bear. I didn't believe them. But I had to move anyway. They wouldn't let me look for her. Something like 'a teenager can't be running around the woods looking for someone who is already dead.' Was their exact words. So, I packed up my things and headed to Forks.

I'm currently in the Seattle airport waiting for my uncle to pick me up. I have my bags to the side. I quickly took out my contact case and put in my blue colored contacts. I don't really need them, but I like to change it up. I always wear different ones every week. Within another 20 minutes I heard my uncles familiar shout.

"Stevie!!" I heard him shout. I looked around him and instantly saw his deep eyes in the crowd as his hand shout up in the air. He ran over and gave me an awkward one armed hug. I saw him look me over quickly. "You grew." He said as he picked up my bags.

"Yeah, I guess." I said hesitantly. I am a good 5'6. I have dark brown hair to my elbows and my piercing green eyes I get from my dad. My mom told me when I was 8 that I had his eyes. I'm slightly curvy, nothing anyone hasn't seen before. I looked over my uncle too. He is about 6'1. He has long black to his shoulder and an ageless look to him. He has dark brown almost black eyes. "Your hair grew."

"Yea, you should see Mai, he cut his hair. He even grew too. He really misses you. He can't wait for you to meet his friends." He said excitedly.

"I bet he does." I said with small laugh. "What about Ang, Avan, and Lia? Did they do anything different?"

"Yeah, Avan got a boyfriend. Nice boy too, you would like him. Ang, well, she just stays by herself. And Lia, well you know Lia, she doesn't really come home. She hangs out with Mai's friends" He babbled. I just nodded. Added an 'ahh' when it was needed. Before I knew it, we were pulling into the drive way to my new home. Uncle Elliot brought all of my bags into the house. I mean all of them, I had at least 12. He didn't break a sweat. I tried to take a couple but he just chuckled.

"Stevie!!! We missed you!!!" Karrie squealed as she pulled me into a firm hug. I just laughed and hugged her back. "I am…sorry for you lose."

"It's fine." I said quickly, not really wanting to talk about. She nodded quickly. She didn't seem upset that her sister in law died. Aunt Karrie and my mom were best friends since Pre School. My mom introduce Karrie to her brother Elliot. They hit it off immediately. Then, they left my mom in the dust. I was still upset about it when my mom told me.

"Miari!!" Angel yelled as she launched herself in my arms. I just laughed as she still used my middle name.

"Hey Angel." I said casually.

"Come on I will help you set up your room." She said happily as she took half of my bags. I quickly took the others and followed her up stairs. "You will love it here. There are great parties, hot guys, and amazing beaches."

"Well, I am looking forward to the beaches, but parties and guys don't appeal." I muttered. I was never interested in dating since I was 10. Since, I came here the last time.

"Come on." She said with a laugh as she threw my stuff on my bed. "How many bags do you need?"

"Well 8 of them are my cloths; a couple are pictures and books. Others are most of my mom's stuff. Some is my arm supplies and my music supplies. Then the boxes are being delivered next week." I said weakly.

"Well, there is your book shelf. That is your closet. The desk and your bed, most of it is just the general stuff. The bathroom is through that door. It is fully stocked with women needs." She laughed. I groaned. "And any other beauty stuff you will need."

"Thanks." I said quickly as she ran out of the room. I quickly put everything away. I hesitated when I came to my mom's bag. I opened it slowly. I looked everything over. I had all of my pictures and old trinkets. I have the cheesy old Lady and the tramp stuff animals my mom and dad got on their first date. I quickly shoved the stuffies on my bed and pushed the bag in my closet. I quickly took out my ipod and suck the ear phones in my ears and lied down. I listened to Linkin Park for a while. I drifted to sleep.

"Mom? What are you doing?" I asked as I saw my sitting at the table drinking red whine.

"Nothing sweety, get back to bed." She said as she took another sip of her wine. I heard a loud crash from the outside. "Stay here."

"Momma, no." I yelled as she ran out. I felt my body numbly slide down the fridge as fell and felt my body become hypersensitive. I heard a loud crash again and I ran outside. I looked around frantically for my mom. I heard a loud hiss and turned to see glowing red eyes in the bushes. I shook my head and when I looked back, there was nothing.

"Mom!!" I shouted. I saw a movement in the bushes and ran after it. I looked and looked. I heard a loud howl and then everything went silent. I looked frantically for her, but nothing. I heard another loud howl and I heard my mom's muffled screams. I ran toward them. I saw my mom lying in the middle of a clearing. I saw someone behind her. "Leave her alone." I hissed.

"Little one, she is like me now." He laughed. I heard my mom scream and when I looked all I saw was a big wolf. I saw my mom dash out of the clearing with the thing following. I fainted.

I felt something shaking me and when I looked I saw my mom watching me.

"Honey, are you okay?" She asked. "When I went to check on you for bed, you were gone. I looked for you, and I found you here."

"Mom, where is he? Where is that thing?" I hissed. She looked sad and then confused. I could the fake behind her actions.

"Honey, you were dreaming." I shook my head.

"No, it was too real, you were with some wolf. He said you were like him." I said frantically.

"Honey, you are imaging things." She laughed. I saw the nervousness she had in her eyes.

"Whatever." I let it go as I stood and walked out of the clearing. That was it. Everything went back to normal.

**

"Mom!!!!" I screamed as I lost my mother again. We heard the same crashing. She ran except this time I can't find her. I kept screaming for her.

"Wake up!!! Stevie!!!! Ouch! Stevie it's me god damn wake up!!" I heard Mai's voice. I felt my fist hit something extremely hot and hard. I cried out in pain.

"What happened?" I asked as I shot up and looked around frantically.

"You were screaming and I came to check on you." Mai said with a slight edge. "You punched me in your sleep."

"Sorry, I didn't know what I was doing." I noticed how he didn't even look hurt. He looked fine; I felt a sharp pain in my hand. I looked down and my knuckles were bleeding and swollen.

"We should get dad to drive you to the hospital." Mai laughed. I felt a sudden bitterness toward him. And also envious. He could say mom and dad to someone and I can't. It made me miss my parents immensely.

"No, I have dealt with things like this. I can handle it. Just go get my some gauze." I said as winced in pain.

"No, we should get you to the hospital, it could get worse." Mai said frantically.

"I am fine." I said stubbornly. He just huffed and walked in the bathroom and came back with a first aid kit.

"Never going in there again." He said over and over again. I just laughed as I thought of what Angel said. I quickly opened it up and wiped it clean and stitched it up. I put a clean ace bandage on it.

"Good as new." I said quickly.

"You're here." Mai said happily as he picked me up in a bone crushing hug and spun me around. I just laughed and hugged him back. "You have to meet the guys."

"Uh, I don't think I should. I think that might not be a-." He cut me off.

"Nope, you're not getting out of it. Come on, they have been itching to see you." He laughed as he picked me up easily and threw me on his shoulder. I yelped in pain as his rock hard shoulder hit my stomach. He just muttered sorry. I guess Uncle Elliot was right. He grew at least a foot or two and now stands a good 6'5. He has short black cropped hair. He grew some serious muscles. He must bench at least 250. I just sighed. He carried me out the door and walked over to the beach near by. I saw about 4 guys that looked just like him standing in a circle. They all turned when they heard Mai.

"Hey guys, this is my cousin Stevie. Stevie, this is Sam, Embry, Jarred, Paul," I turned to each one and nodded.

"Where is Avan and Lia?" I asked.

"They are with some friends." He laughed. I just nodded and looked over his friends. I mean they were all gorgeous, but they seemed different. They all have the same cropped hair and the same muscular figures. They are all freakishly tall. But when you look close you can see many differences.

"Uh, I think I should go finish unpacking." I muttered as I walked off. I heard a loud muffling and when I looked back they were all gone. In the distance I heard two agonizing howls. It sent chills up my spine. Creepy.
