I do not own the characters except for Sabrina. Step Meyer owns them.

Sam is missing?

Sabrina Uley's school day and after school activities at the La Push High School were done for the day. Her mom, Allison, drop her off this morning but told her that her older brother, Sammy (or Sam as he preferred), was going to pick her up. Sam did not mind doing this because the family had always been tight, especially after their dad abandoned the family. Sam became a father figure to Sabrina.

Even though the sun was shining (which was rare for the La Push area) and the day had gone well (and busy) for Sabrina, she had this nagging feeling that something was not right. Sam was already half hour late according to her cell phone's clock. She was pissed! Sam would have at least called if he was going to be late. Sabrina sat down in front of the school and rested her head against the column. She began to think about the past few weeks, and in her opinion Sam had been acting strangely. Just last night, mom made him do some chore instead of going out with his girlfriend, Leah Clearwater, and he began to shake like a vibrator in a massager and bolted out the front door. Sabrina started to feel sleepy and thought to herself of taking a quick cat nap.

After falling asleep on the steps of the school for now about a couple of hours, Sabrina woke up to police sirens and their lights flashing. She saw an average size man with brown hair and a mustache in a police uniform get out of the car and approached her.

"Hello, I'm Chief Charles Swan of the Forks Police Department and we've been looking for you. I presume you are Sabrina Uley?" Chief Swan asked as he approached me.

Sabrina shook her head 'yes' and wonder why Chief Swan was doing here looking for her.

"Your older brother, Sam, never showed up for work this morning and never called in sick. Your mother is at the station answering questions for us. We need you to ask some simple questions then you are free to go. You can answer them as I drive you home."

I picked my bag and walked over to Chief Swan's police car. I answered the question basically stating that Sam has been acting different the past few weeks. After an hour of driving, Chief Sawn dropped off me at my home and told me that my mom would be home as soon as possible.

After another hour, Allison walked through the front door. The aurora around my mom was depressing. Allison just looked at Sabrina with eyes of sorrow. First her husband abandons them and now her little boy. Allison went right into the kitchen and grabbed a wine glass and a bottle of cheap wine. She took it right into her room. I had dinner by herself and did my homework (liked I even cared at the moment). By 10 o'clock I was in bed trying to get to sleep while my mother wept all night long.

You say Goodbye and I say Hello

A week after Sam's disappearance, my world was falling apart. Within one week my mother became an alcoholic and was medically depressed. The whole town looking for Sam but he cannot be found. I was basically taking care of myself by spending time with the Clearwater's residence. Leah and I were spending so many nights crying our eyes out over Sam.

Her cousin, Emily, came over to try and cheer us up by giving us a spa day. It started Saturday morning with the three of us doing each other nails, hair, and facials. The three of us got Seth to agree to let the three of us give him a makeover. Boy we got him good. He was pissed with what we did to him. Leah and Emily were acting like they were sisters. They were both equally beautiful and both were fun to play with. Afterwards we baked a lot of sweets. All of the sweets would have made a dentist very rich very quickly. On Sunday, the three of us just watched romantic comedies, comedies, and Seth (Harry and Sue had some stuff to do so Leah had to take care of him). I'll admit I had a good time. It was a nice distraction from all the woes of my life.

Sadly, it was Monday. Leah drove us to school after dropping Seth off at the Middle School. Because I'm a sophomore and Leah is a junior we did not have any classes together. The only time I would see her was at lunch. Sam, who was a senior, sat with us until he graduated in January. For the past week all we would talk about was Sam.

When I went home there again was my mother. Still depressed, even though I was still here and needed her, and drunk. Beer, wine, and whiskeys bottles were all over the place. Tears were starting to form on my face because it brought back memories of Dad. With Dad it lasted like this for a few months before he left us. Sam would watch out for me to avoid getting hurt (emotionally and physically) but with Mom it was much worse since he was not here.

Wednesday officially became the most horrible day of my life. Everything started out fine. Leah and I sat together at lunch. I took a few tests. I stayed after school for Glee and Yearbook club. As usual, Mom was not there to pick me up, so I walked home in the rain. As I walked home I thought I noticed something big and black, like a dog or wolf. But then again, I have been under a lot of stress and maybe it's finally getting to me. After two hours of walking (I'm a slow walker deal with it) I finally reached home but it felt different. I opened the front door expecting to find Mom completely passed out but instead I stepped into a nightmare.

Chief Swan had my house swarmed with cops. My selfish mother killed herself because of grief over Sam's disappearance. Chief Swan told me that the Clearwaters would take me in until Sam came back (if in my opinion). Harry and Sue let me get some of my stuff (mostly clothes and school supplies) after the cops cleared the scene. I spent most of the night crying into Leah and Seth's arms.

The school gave me a few days off to morn my mother (I thought that was nice of them) and to attend the funeral. Today was the funeral and it is also marking of the third week that Sam had vanished. I stood in Leah and I bedroom looking at the mirror. Due to all of the stress, I had lost weight, was gaunt in appearance, and sadness had taken over my eyes. Sometimes it was hard being in Leah's room because of all the photos of the three of us in the good old days. Thankfully, Harry and Sue helped in taking care of Mom's funeral. I am not up to any of this.

People came out in full support. The Blacks, Lahotes, Calls, and others gather at the cemetery. As I watched the gravediggers and the priest buried my Mother, I look past them and thought I saw two familiar brown eyes. My thoughts instantly went to Sam. Then they disappeared. After standing there for over an hour, Leah tapped my shoulder as to single that they were going home. Thank god it is the weekend now and hopefully I can find some peace.

My life started to fall into a routine. I went to school… came home and then did my homework. It seemed like I was becoming a member of the Clearwater family. Leah, being Sam's girlfriend, took care of me like I was her own sister. Seth as usual tried to cheer me up by trying to get me to laugh but there was nothing to laugh about. Within two weeks, I lost my brother (who has always been like a father to me) and my mother. Life can be a bitch sometimes.

What's happened to me? (Sam's POV)

What the hell has happened to me? One minute I was going to work after an argument with my mother and now I have paws. I try to spin around to see if anyone could help me. WHAT? I have a fucking tail and it is black! I am walking on all fours. I must be going nuts. Overstressed… that's what wrong with me.

I raced back home and I saw Chief Swan dropping off Sabrina. Her face looked like someone died. He wonder what happened but then heard…

"Don't worry Sabrina we will find him. Your mom will be home as soon as possible. So be safe until she comes home." Sabrina just thanked him and walked into the house after Chief Swan drove off. It dawned on him that people thought he was missing or he ran out like his dad. He growled (I can't believe I just did that). Sam just wanted to be there for his sister and tell her that everything is ok. After seeing his mom come home, he knew had to figure out how to change back.

Within the week of Sam's disappearance, Sam just sat in the woods right near his house and watched. He would see Sabrina take out glass bottles of empty booze. Sam shook his head in distressed. Just like Dad he thought. Sam was beginning to feel the loneliness and hoped that he would change back soon.

After a week of Sam not being able to change back, Sam got the shocker of his life. Chief Swan and other officers were surrounding the house. Chief Swan brought Sabrina out of the house. She was crying her eyes out and the redness that surrounded them. Chief Swan was comforting her. After ten minutes of seeing this, a body bag was brought out. Sam's train of thought immediately thought of his mom.

Worried about his little sister, Sam knew he had to change back soon. Sam saw the elders of the tribe arrive and talk to Chief Swan. They offered to take care of Sabbie (Sam's nickname for Sabrina). They basically stated that Sabbie had to remain on the reservation until I had been legally declared dead. Chief Swan stated that it would be ok since he could trust them. The Clearwaters offered to take her in for now. At least I would know that Sabbie would be safe with my girlfriend, Leah. Harry went over to Sabbie and told her to get some clothing and a few personal items since she would be staying with them.

I know that I have to change back but HOW? Sabbie needs me. Sam walked through the woods to be at the grave yard, were Allison was being buried today, was hidden deep inside the bushes. Since his eyesight improved because of the transformation, he was able to view the funeral from afar. Seeing Sabbie crying uncontrollably was driving me crazy. She was barely standing up thanks to Leah. My urge to protect Sabbie was getting to strong. Sam just bolted back into the woods and begged to himself to change back.

A few days after the funeral, Sam woke up and saw he was human and naked. He crept out of the without anyone seeing him ad got back into his home. The house had been empty since their mother's suicide. Sam quickly got on some shorts. He wanted to head over to the Clearwater's' home and collect Sabbie (along with getting back with Leah). Sam just wanted to put this behind him and get his life back together.

Sam knocked o the Clearwater's front door and Harry opened the door. Harry glared at Sam. Not only was Sabrina hurt by his disappearing act but Harry's little girl, Leah, as well. Sam and Harry shook hands as Harry looked surprised towards Sam. Harry's mood did a 360 as he brought Sam into the house. Harry told Sam that Leah and Sabbie were still in school and that they would be coming home very soon.

Ten minutes later after Sam's arrival, the other council members showed up. Sam looked at Harry with 'what are they doing here?' Harry just offered everyone drinks and something to eat. Sam just sat there quietly as the elders began to explain to Sam what happened to him. He was a part of their tribe's legends. Sam's job was to protect the tribe from the cold ones and since he was the first one to change he would be alpha. At least till Jacob Black changed. They explained to Sam that Jake was the rightful heir to alpha hood unless Jake said he did not want it. They also explained about imprinting and the most important rule DO NOT TELL ANYONE with the exception of imprints. Sam was not permitted to tell Sabbie, unless another wolf imprinted on her. Sam's face dropped at the thought he would have to lie to his sister all the time now. Old Quil walk over to Sam ad gave him the tribe's symbol for protector. After that was done the other members of the council left and Sam just sat there trying to absorb it all. Sudden the door opens…

Sam's Back!

OMG! My brother is back. I stood there staring at a six foot man with a mature face and persona.

"Sammy?" Staring at the man. Sam nodded his head. I immediately ran over ad hugged him. I felt the two familiar arms wrapped around me. Tears were streaming down my face as Sammy was fighting back some tears as well. Sam rested his head on top of mine and kissed it. He also mumbled that he missed me.

Leah was standing nearby with tears building up in her eyes as well. Sam looked up at Leah. (a/n Sadly, Sam did not imprint on her). Sam said that he was fine as he did not want to talk about it.
