Okay, Katherine isn't exactly human. She's a partial shifter. Unlike the La Push boys, she can't fully change into a wolf. But, she gets the traits. Like the hearing, sight, smell, and strength. It'll be explained more throughout the story.
I was nervous about meeting Bella. She's my (sort of) brothers intended mate. I just hoped she liked me and I liked her too. Of course if I didn't like her, I wont act like Rosalie.
With a sigh, I pulled beside the small house. I smirked as I saw a sliver Volvo. So, Eddie still loves those Volvo's huh?
Stepping out of the car, I automatically smelt something different. I've never smelt a scent like this. It wasn't like a vampire that was really sweet or human that always depended on the person. It was woodsy, smelled like the forest.
I walked over to Edward, who hadn't changed a bit, his hair was still a messy bronze, his eyes golden like the rest of the Cullen's. But, he seemed all so much happier. My curiosity grew about this Bella girl.
"Katherine, you made it." Edward noticed with a smile.
I nodded keeping my expression neutral, "Where's the scent?"
He gestured toward the house. "If you walk inside, you'll smell it." His voice was tense. He was nervous.
With a sigh, I walked toward the small house. Edward was right. The scent was extremely strong and smelled fresh. I followed it up to what seemed to be Bella's bedroom. I could feel my K-9 teeth growing and my eyes darkening to a copper brown, all apart of the very slight transformation. The scent was the strongest in, what I assumed was, Bella's room. So, it was here looking for her? Luckily, she wasn't there at that time.
When I was going down the stairs, I found out where the woodsy scent came from. A very handsome boy. He must be one of those Wolf shifters. He was tall, taller than Edward, russet skin and short hair. I guess he felt my eyes on him because he turned around and looked right at me. For some reason, I stopped breathing when we made eye contact. Something big just happened, I could tell by the look in his eyes. Something changed. He was looking at me like I was his world. Maybe I was overreacting. Probably.
I was suddenly brought back to reality when I heard Edward hissing. What the hell? Sending him a confused look, I finally spoke. "Yeah, the scent was pretty strong so, I got it."
Edward didn't really react to anything I said. Knowing him, he probably already knew what I was going to say. He just continued to glare at the Native American.
With a sigh, I introduced myself. "I'm Katherine Hendrix." I told them both with a smile. Sending Edward another confused glance, I started to wonder what I could say I was to them. Family? A friend? Sure, I thought of myself as a family member.. Is that what I tell them?
He seemed to notice or hear my discomfort and told them instead, "She's extended family."
I nodded with a smile, then turned to Ed. "So, what's the plan? Patrol around here?" This was pretty major and with my last run in with newborns, I knew how dangerous they were. I would give them all the help I could. It was the best thing I could do, they are the reason I'm still alive.
Edward stiffly nodded and Bella started to protest. "I'm not letting you guys starve!" She was pretty. Long wavy brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, and pale skin that blushed a lot.
I scoffed, "Don't worry, Bella. They'll be fine."
She turned to me with her eyes wide, "What about you? You're not vampire or shifter. You could really get hurt."
I bit back a laugh. "You're wrong, I am a shifter- Well, partial, its all good."
Yup, I just confused them. This is my chance to ask something that Edward wont agree with. Oh well.
In the corner of my eye, I saw Ed sending me a confused look. "Maybe I can meet the rest of your pack one day to explain?" I asked with a sly look.
Now Eddie was glaring. But, the wolf shifter was grinning like mad. Bella was just confused. Smirking, I did my best to hide my exhaustion. I felt like I needed three straight days of sleep.
"Sure." I looked over to see the shifter much calmer, or trying to seem that way, with his hands stuffed into his pants pockets. "We'll have a meeting soon. I'm Jacob, by the way."
I smiled, "Nice to meet you. I could bring Bella with me." I knew Edward wouldn't like that but, shifters aren't so dangerous. We have control of our actions.
Edward turned stiff, jaw clenched. "I don't think that's a good idea."
A low growl came from the back of my throat. It startled Bella. I quickly sent her an apologetic look. "Shifters aren't as terrible as you think! Have I ever hurt you or anyone else innocent?"
He said nothing.
"Exactly! I can't believe you don't trust me." I mumbled before abruptly storming outside. I scowled as the bitter taste of venom came into my mouth. It always happened when I got overly mad and just recently transformed. Getting into my car, I took a sip of soda to get rid of the taste. But, before I could start the car, a tan arm was in front of me.
Looking to my left, I found out it was Jacob. "Uh, hey?" It confused me how serious he looked. What was up with this kid?
"Be careful." His voice was so.. Sincere. It caught me off guard.
I nodded, "Sure thing, Jacob."
He smiled and left.
For some reason, I've already developed a small crush on this boy. I had a feeling it would end up being much more than that.
