Crazy Fan-Girl's Notes: I'm happy. Why? Because I'm actually writing a lot today! I got down a chapter in my first story here, (Full-Moon Maple) and in this one. X3 I'm rather happy about that. Well, I'm going to write another chapter today before tomorrow comes whereas I will probably try to fit a chapter of this or that here or here. If I'm bored enough I might even start yet another story! twime obsessed But this time, it might not be a Twilight based story. sighs Well, without further ado, Chapter two of Ookami Light.
Disclaimer: If I owned the Twilight series, I wouldn't have had Edward come back to Bella… He'd be mine… MINE!!

"That's it!" I screamed in the middle of breakfast.
Charlie looked at me like I was crazy. Actually, I myself thought I was crazy as well. I didn't I think of this before?
"Bella, are you feeling ok?"
"Yeah I just remembered an answer to a… riddle." I said, quickly thinking of an excuse.
Charlie continued to look at me like had mental brain damaged left over from my zombie state, but when he had to leave, he had to put that awkward stare to a hold.
I waved Charlie good-bye and walked back in the kitchen and nibbled on my unfinished Poptart while staring at the phone. I was deciding on whether I should call Jacob or not. I looked at the clock. Six o' clock. I should let Jacob get his sleep; after all, he did walk all the way to my house and back. That must have taken some time. I waited while I paced, thinking about my theory until I couldn't take it anymore. I had only managed to waste ten minutes and I had darted out the door to go to Jacob's house. I knew it was rude to barge into someone's house this early in the morning, but I couldn't help it. This had to be done. I didn't care if Billy hated me for life, I had to see Jacob.
I rang the doorbell of Billy's house, and Billy came to the door to answer. I guess I really had come too early. Billy was still in his pajamas (which wasn't really a pretty sight), and looked as if he had just gotten up out of bed.
"Bella," His voice sounded shocked, "What are you doing this early?"
"I need to talk to Jacob." I looked at Billy with the same look that Charlie gave me sometimes when he asked me if… she was here. By 'she', I meant Edward's 'younger' sister, Alice.
Billy eyed me. I guess he thought I was crazy too. But for a different reason of course.
"I need him to confirm a theory of mine. He said I could come over."
Billy finally answered me, "Jacob's asleep right now, and I don't think you should wake him."
"Uh yeah… Then tell him to come down to the…" I quickly thought of where we could meet. "The place."
"The place?" Billy must have confirmed his theory of me being crazy right now.
"Yeah, he should know where it is." I paused, thinking of what would happen if he did forget. "Uh, tell him that we used to ride there." With that, I scurried off, not wanting Billy to ask me about exactly what we rode there. I was darn sure that if he knew I rode motorcycles, he would go and report that to Charlie.
I drove my slow and extremely loud truck up to the place where Jake had showed me how to ride the bike that Jake had caringly fixed for me.
I finally came to a stop where I last parked it and got off, shutting off the ignition and closing the door behind me. I stood there with my hand shoved in my jacket pocket. Bored, I hummed a tune to myself before realizing what I was humming. It was my lullaby. The one that he made me. I stopped instantly, not wanting tears in my eyes by the time that Ja-
"Bella!" I heard Jacob's raspy voice as I turned my head to face him.
"Hey Jake" I called back, happy to be on good terms with him.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You need your sleep, you're just a kid."
"Excuse me, last I remember, I was older than you."
"Right" I laughed, "Forgot."
"So? What's your theory?"
I paused, "Werewolf?"
"Yep!" Jacob seemed so happy that I was able to know the truth, but also not break the rules ether.
"So do you like change into a wolf when there's a full moon or something?"
Jacob laughed, "Hollywood's version's over rated!"
I flinched. I remembered what Edward said.
"Oh sorry, did I say something?"
"No, it's nothing. So none of it's true huh?"
"Yep, for us, it's a temper problem."
"Temper problem?"
"Yeah, when we get mad, we just… change. We don't get a choice."
"Hm…"
"And, remember when I said that I have to tell them though I don't want to."
"Yeah?"
"Well, it's because what ever we thinking about while we're a wolf, goes into everyone else's minds too. It's almost like a giant lie detector thing or something. "
"Oh, so you didn't have a choice?"
"Unless I didn't change into a wolf at all."
"So is this temper issue tough to handle?"
"No, not really. It's just kind of natural to me now I guess."
"Oh?"
"Yeah…"
I snickered lightly.
"Huh? What's so funny?"
"No, it's nothing; I just remembered… his talent"
"Who's he?"
"Edward…" I whispered the name, it hurt to say it.
"The blood sucker?"
"Jacob; have a heart!"
"Oh, right, sorry, didn't mean it"
I stared at Jacob who held up his hands.
"No, honest!"
I rolled my eyes and he continued talking.
"What do you mean when you said you remembered him? Why'd you remember him now of all times?"
"It's because you said that it's almost like a lie detector."
"He can tell when we're telling a lie?" Jacob was stunned.
"No, he can read minds."
If Jacob was stunned before, then this time, he was paralyzed. "Wh-what?!"
He seemed rather surprised and I couldn't help suppress a giggle, "That's him for ya"
"They can all do this?!"
"No, only Edward."
I felt like I was betraying the Cullens. I was telling their 'natural enemy' about their special powers. Their special not so secrete anymore powers.
Jacob scowled as he began pacing.
"Hey Jake, aren't you cold?" I had noticed that once again, he was only wearing a pair of pants. His chest was bare, and he wore no shoes.
"Huh? No, not really."
I frowned, "You're going to get a cold again Jake."
Jacob laughed and shook his head. "Feel my hand"
I touched his hand, then pulled back as immediately. It was so fast that it felt like I moved in vampire speed. "Jake! You're burning up! We got to get you to a hospital!"
Jacob laughed at my attempt to pull him into the car.
"Nah, I'm fine Bella, really!"
I eyed him uncomfortably; he must be over a hundred degrees.
"Really Bella, I'm perfectly fine!"
I sighed and decided to trust him. "So you're a werewolf huh? Natural enemy to a vampire?"
"Yup."
"And you change into a wolf when ever you get a temper problem?"
"Yup"
"Ah… Interesting."
"Yup, we're only here because of those leeches too"
I glared at Jacob as he again insulted the vampires, "So what else?"
"I thought you'd be pretty freaked by now, I'm disappointed."
I smiled, "I'm pretty good with freaky."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"So? What now?"
"I don't know."
"Hey Jake?"
"Yeah?"
"How'd you get here?" I looked around and couldn't find his car anywhere.
"Um… My mommy and my daddy really liked ea-"
"I mean here as in this location!" I interrupted him, not wanting to hear the rest.
Jaocb laughed, "I ran."
"What?!"
"As a wolf!" Jacob laughed.
"Wait, exactly how big are you when you're a wolf?"
"Um… big?"
"That's not good enough."
"I don't know Bella, probably big as you if not bigger."
I rolled my eyes. "Anyways, didn't you say that the wolves were only here because there were vampires around too?"
"Uh… Yeah?"
"But there are no vampires here anymore." I began to wonder.
"That's true. Kind of weird huh?"
"So couldn't that mean like, other vampires that we don't know about are here as well then?"
"Well, there are always those passerby leeches."
"Jake! Mind your manners!"
Jacob held his hand up in defense as he happily chuckled.
Of course, he thought this was all so funny, but I didn't. I thought of the… I thought of them as my family and it hurt to watch them leave because of me.
"Oh come on Bella, it's not like they're your friends!"
I frowned, Jacob seemed absolutely happy about this, "Yeah, but if you got hurt, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
"Forgive yourself for doing what? We chose to do this. And plus, there's no stinking bloodsucker that can get us!" Jake seemed so positive about this, but I wasn't sure.
"Jake, not all of them are that easy to kill."Like the Voltri, I silently thought in my mind. It was true. Edward had explained the Voltri is such a manner that it made me think that they were almost if not invincible.
"So what if they can read our minds?"
"Not just that," I began. I wasn't sure whether to tell this to Jacob, after all, it almost felt like betraying them, "that's only Edward."
Jacob's expression fell. "There's more?"
"Well, one of them can see the future," I was being cautious not to tell of everything. What if they came back? Then the wolves would have the advantage. Then both of them would get hurt.
"We need to tell the others."
"What? But Jake!"
"Well, they're going to find out ether way. I'll be right back!" Jake added as he ran towards the woods to tell his fellow wolves, leaving me alone.
Well this was all good. I heaved a sigh. I didn't want to see or know anymore. I knew taking these risks would bring back that lovely voice in my head, but it just didn't seem right.
A moment past, and Jake came back, scratching the back of his head, "They're going to be here in a minute."
I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. What if they didn't want me to know all this? I remembered the bear warning that Charlie had said. And the campers talking about that huge grizzly or something. I could almost bet my life that these 'bears' weren't bears, but they were just over-sized La Push boys.
"Bella? Are you ok?" Jacob looked at me cautiously.
"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine."
"But you look… Green."
I shook my head and said again, "I'm fine Jake."
Jacob laughed and as if that had been a signal, a group of boys appeared out of the trees not so far away.
Even from that distance, they were very visible and I could tell that one of them didn't find it pleasant that I was standing here, in their territory.
"What's that leech doing here?"
"She's not a leech!"
I cowered back behind Jacob as he growled at the boy that thought of me as a spy or something. This defiantly wasn't good.
"Paul, calm down" that there was a direct order from the all mighty leader, Sam.
The over sized boy known by the name Paul, seemed to calm down, though his hands were curled up into fists and were shaking violently.
I again cowered behind Jacob in fear and Jacob seemed to be laughing at me, but in a suppressed way.
"Bella knows something about the vampires that I think we should all know."
Everyone's faces turned grim and were directed towards me. That wasn't a good sign.
"Uh… not really" I mumbled before Jacob pulled me from behind him and stood me in front of him with his large hands on my shoulder. I was shaking violently, but not out of anger, but out of fear rather. There was a group of oversized boys, controlled by one lone person. I was totally safe.
"Come on Bella; tell them about the lee- I mean… the Cullen's powers." Jacob seemed to try to encourage me.
"Um… Yeah, they have special powers."
"We know that much!" Paul barked at me.
Well, Paul seemed to be complete control over his temper.
'Tell them what they want Bella.' There was that voice that I really longed for. It was him.
But…
'Tell them so they won't hurt you' Oh yeah because my safety was so important here.
"Um…" I started again, not sure what to say to please them so they wouldn't maul me, "yeah, Edward," gulp, "can read minds… an-"
"I thought that was only in the legends!" Again, I was interrupted by Paul. He didn't seem to like me very much. Maybe it was because I had been with Edward for so long.
"Paul," Sam's voice was calm and in control. I wondered if he'd still be like that if I insulted the werewolves. Better not try.
"Yeah, and that's not all! One of the lee-" I glared at Jacob, "I mean, the Cullens can see the future!"
"Is that all?"
I looked up at Jacob. Was I supposed to tell the rest as well?
"Is there Bella?" Jacob seemed to wonder as well.
"Um… Jasper" twitch, "can control people's emotions."
All the wolves seemed to be taking this really seriously. Maybe even too seriously.
Jacob laughed, breaking the silence, "That leech would be a real help to Paul!"
Paul shivered again and I couldn't help but eye him uncomfortably.
"Paul" it was too late.
Paul because to transform. I tightly closed my eyes and felt Jacob's warm, or rather scorching, hand leave my shoulder. I looked up. There were two werewolves pounding at each other.
Jacob!

Crazy Fan-Girl's notes: Well, hello again. I wrote half of this yesterday and half this morning, so this might be a little awkward. Ether way, at least I finished right? I wanted to be consistent with the story until like later when Bella jumps off the cliff. I wouldn't want her to do that, leading Alice here and everything going the same as the book. No, that wouldn't be right. That wouldn't be a fan-fiction! Well, until about the point where she does jump, I wanted to be somewhat similar, so I can kind of tell where this is leading. But I do have a special plan for Bella and Jacob. X3 I hope you enjoyed and please R&R!
