This story is for my cat who had to be put to sleep last year.

Tell me what you think of chapter 2! Who do you think Wolfie is? I'll tell next chapter if no one guesses right! ;)

My computer deleted the first draft and my phone deleted the second draft of this chapter, so this took longer. Sorry.


I call. Wolfie comes running through the trees and I run to catch him. We turn at the same time. We race towards First beach from the tree line.

Wolfie beats me easily, sitting down next to Rachel before I even get there.

Sammy laughs at my attempts to catch my breath. Wolfie growls and whacks him again. I smirk again.

"That hurts. Vanessa!" Sammy whined to me. I shook my head with a smile.

I hummed my favourite song (Anywhere by Evanescence) while trying to see into the basket Rachel had.

Rachel tutted and put it to the other side of her.

Crossing my arms, I sat between Wolfie and Sammy since Sammy still looked scared.

Sammy actually was starting to look ill. I looked at Rachel and saw she and Rebecca were both looking worriedly at Sammy.

"Sammy, are you feeling okay? Do you need to go to the woods?" Sammy shook his head, but he still looked ill.

A sandy coloured wolf comes from the trees and nudges Sammy, whimpering like Wolfie does when I'm ill. Wolfie growls at the wolf and moves further away.

Wolfie growled at Uncle Seth, but the wolf payed him no mind.

Wolfie and I moved over so Uncle Seth could comfort Sammy more. Sammy really didn't look well. Now I think about it, he hadn't been as mean as usual today...

Rachel and Rebecca smile at the sandy wolf and led Wolfie and I further down the beach.

I know uncle Seth'll take care of his pup very well. Much better than my dad who doesn't even check on me when I'm ill. He just takes the devil twins and Leah to the hospital. Sometimes I think he worries about them too much. It's not like he imprinted on her or anything.

I don't believe he imprinted. Uncle Embry doesn't either. Not much of the rest of the pack talk to me because I'm daddy's "offspring". What does that even mean?

Rachel sets the blanket and basket down and opens the basket. Rebecca sits on the blanket and hands me a sweet from nowhere. Yay!

While chewing on the caramel inside the sweet, I look at the necklace Rachel was taking out the basket.

"Now Vanessa, as you know, the legends are true and you and Sammy will soon reach phasing age." Rachel started.

A few years ago, the Black pack joined with the Cullen Coven and got rid of the vampire kings. I don't know why they helped the Cullen Coven, but it resulted in the Coven getting loads more vampires and it stinks all over Forks, even on the border! Even mum can smell it sometimes, that's why we haven't moved out of daddy's old house.

The Black pack take care of Forks mostly, while Uley pack takes care of LaPush. Both packs live in LaPush though, the Black pack must have to wash a lot in the river to get rid of the stench. But because of all the vampires in Forks, us wolf pups are phasing much earlier, around twleve, and know from birth the legends and that they are actually real. The treaty still stands, and all the new vampires where kept under close watch and they went through the transition from human drinkers to animal.

Phasing early is actually pretty cool, but Sammy and I sometimes get picked on for getting put in the class above our age group because we were too smart.

Well, Sammy is. Sammy always says that I only moved because I'm the tallest in both year groups... He says I have a brain of a two year old.

"Since you and Sammy are nearing the phasing age, and there are more vampires in Forks," Rebecca continued. What more vampires? "You are to be given the tribe necklace instead of the tattoo."

Rachel tied the necklace around my neck. It nearly went down to my belly button! "Why is it so big?" I asked aloud.

Rebecca chuckled. "So you'll still have it on as a wolf, silly girl!"

Oh.

Female wolves are becoming much more common, especially those born from the members of the Uley pack. Probably because we see the vampires as enemies still, as Embry says.

I run my finger over the twisted material that makes up the tribal mark. Daddy had one on his arm and the rest of the packs too. I never asked why. Wolf thing I guess.

"Sammy would have been given his bracelet, but the males are becoming badly effected by the new vampires. Kim and Jared's son nearly phased lat night and he's only a year older than you."

I feel nervous. The wolf packs are growing bigger and it's certain that I'll be a wolf soon.

What if Daddy doesn't accept me into the pack?
