"Talking"
Wolf thoughts/ regular thoughts
Any emphasis is bolded
One of what? I asked, fearing his answer. The tone he was using was never any good.
A werewolf.
The way he tensed up made me think he was expecting me to freak out again. His tail sort of straightened out and he went into a fighting stance. Even the fur covering his shoulders stood at attention and screamed tense. That made me feel pretty proud when I just stood there with a blank face and thought back
Okay even in thought form the word was numb. That was how I would best describe how I felt. Numb.
In all actuality I was freaking out on the inside. Just because I knew about the supernatural world didn't mean I would expect this. All I could think about were those cheesy horror movies where the werewolf is grotesquely transformed into a half-wolf half-man monster. Was that what I looked like?
Suddenly I needed to look at myself. There were, of course, the paws I had seen before. I hadn't noticed the color before but it looked like the color of my hair, for the most part. The only difference were darker highlights every here and there. When I looked over my shoulder my back looked a little darker too. I was very lean and not very muscular. I heard the word 'scrawny' in my head but I ignored it.
I looked like a wolf but at least I was a normal wolf. Except I was the size of a horse. I don't know if I could have handled being a monster. I mean what would Edwa-
And then I remembered. Edward Cullen. All that passion came back. All of the anger that swirled inside me and filled me came back.
Whoa, whoa! Bella calm down! The first voice said. I still didn't even know his name, if it was a he.
The rage still flowed and I finally stood up. It felt like I was on my hands and knees but really I was standing, just how a dog would stand. It was really awkward, standing on all fours. If I didn't know how to be a wolf I wouldn't even last a second against a fully trained vampire. Oh well, I'll have to kill him later.
Bella! We have a peace treaty with the Cullens. Sam didn't sound very happy about it.
But Sam! I thought He left me. That, on top of being a leech in the first place, pretty much forces us to kill him!
Well... if any of the Cullens violate the treaty we're allowed to kill them.
Alright, I accepted that I would have to wait for my time to come. Then I could exact my revenge.
Sooooo... Sam, what do werewolves do? I was still accepting that I was actually part of this world now, that I was finally a part of the supernatural.
Voice number one answered before Sam could, We just sort of run around and kill 'the Cold Ones', or vampires, as you pale faces call them. And don't call me voice number one! My name's Jared!
Well, Jared, I assume you're a werewolf too. Can either of you explain, exactly, how and why this is possible? I mean, I've never heard of a person just randomly exploding into a wolf. That last part was pretty sarcastic. It's not even a full moon and I turned into a wolf. How does that even happen?
The full moon thing is just a myth. Normally only Quilletes have the ability to change. We've got no idea how you managed it. Jared said... thought?
Sam thought back, Do you have any Quillette relation? Anything? Even some distant cousin would do the trick with all the time you've been spending with the bloodsuckers.
I don't know, I'll have to ask Charlie.
Sam ducked his head down and his thoughts sounded a little sheepish when he said I don't know if you'll be able to do that...
Why not? I was getting a little apprehensive about that tone again.
Now Sam was feeling really guilty but before he could soften the blow Jared came out and said, You'll be living with us now!
I will not- I started to say
Not permanently! You'll just have to stay with us until you're more in control. Sam tried to calm me down.
Oh ok, I guess I can do that. I still have to tell Charlie something.
Sam's head turned in the direction of my house, Me and Jared can tell him that you'll be staying at the reservation.
I tried to laugh but it came out like a snort, You really think he'll buy that? Tell him I'm staying with Billy or something.
He looked uncertain and sort of felt off in my mind somehow (that was gonna take some getting used to) Billy Black? Okay, if you think that'll help...
It will, I assured him, Now lets go to your wolfy headquarters.
It's not... just no. Now that I was getting used to it Jared's 'voice' did have a different feel to it.
Sam turned to leave the clearing and Jared trotted off behind him.
Guys! Wait up!
During the short hike (if you can call 15 miles of running short but I guess when you're a wolf it is) the guys filled me in on who's who in the pack. Apparently Sam's the Alpha (which is wolf for big-shot leader guy) and Jared is Beta (second-in-command). They were the only two for now but there was one guy who was pretty close to turning. Right now we were heading for Emily's house which was their 'wolfy headquarters' apparently.
I could smell something delicious coming up right in front of us.
Alright Bella, you go and wait with Jared at the house. He veered to the left and me and Jared went right towards heaven (or at least what I imagine heaven smells like).
We waited in front of this medium sized log cabin-type house. The whole house was made of wood. It would have looked pretty rustic if it weren't for the bright-red shutters and the flowers planted here and there. I could just make out the sound of humming inside.
Sam came out of the woods, looking just like the mind-picture he showed me earlier.
"Emily!" he didn't have to shout so loud! I whined a little because really, that hurt. He turned around and gave me a little wince of empathy. "Emily, I've got someone you might want to meet." He was a little quieter this time.
The door knob clicked and the door swung open "Is it another wolf, oh there he is! He looks a little young, but looks at his fur. It's beautiful!" she came over and stared petting me. I would have been affronted; I was a werewolf now, feared by all! But it just felt so good... Jared stared wolf-laughing at me and I just ignored him.
"Actually Em, she's 17." Sam made sure to emphasize the girl part.
"Oh!" her voice was too high and I keened "I'm sorry, but your fur really is beautiful" she doubled her ministrations and I felt my chest start to vibrate. I ended up on my back somehow and she was scratching by belly. I think I heard leaves whipping around and I figured a breeze had started but it really didn't matter to me.
Suddenly the hand stopped petting and I looked at Emily. She looked kind of confused. I gave her a pleading look and she went back to petting me. Pure ecstasy. The flapping of the leaves stared up again and now I could feel it in my hair.
I cracked open an eye and there was some serious wind blowing through. I tried to get back to my feet but as soon as I started moving the wind stopped. Everyone was starring at me now.
"Em, pet her again." I settled back to the ground and her hands were working their magic once again. I closed my eyes and let the bliss flow through me. Breeze flowed outside as it did within and I felt power. Power in the joy and the pleasure. It welled up and flowed. Up and out of my chest and up towards the sky.
The hands stopped again. I looked around and leaves were scattered everywhere. Some leaves were still falling and it was because of me.
Sam seemed to be the only one capable of speech,
"What was that?"
