Chapter 1: Worthless

I tried to get back to the house but I couldn't. The clouds had become darker, making it even harder to see the path. I heard howling off in the distance and remembered what Edward had told me about the forest, there were other predators out here. I began to run, not wanting to run into an animal looking for a meal. I was running in the dark, stumbling a few times. I felt a trunk at my foot, but it was too late to slow down. I put my hands out to catch my fall, instead my head met a rock and I welcomed the darkness.

I woke and I could see nothing. I was lying on the floor of the forest with a huge headache. I could hear leaves crunching in the background and stayed quiet in fear of notifying the animal to my presence.

"Bella? Is that you?" I heard a familiar voice say.

"Jake? What are you doing here?" I said starting to lift myself off the ground. I started to get dizzy, but Jake steadied me and picked me up bridal style.

"Bells the whole town is looking for you. You have been missing for hours. What happened out there?"

"I must have fell and hit my head. Did you say the whole town?" I moaned.

"Yes the whole town. Only you Bells could be clumsy enough to trip and be unconscious for hours," Jake laughed at me and I responded by slapping his chest. It was that I realized just how big Jake was.

"Damn Jake have you been taking steroids or something you're huge." I told him shaking out my hand that now hurt for hitting him.

"A lot of things have changes." Jake said implying that we weren't just talking about his growth spurt.

After walking for about 5 minutes we came to the exit of the forest where I saw everyone talking around my dad's car.

"Charlie! I got her!" Jake called out to my father.

"Oh thank God," I heard Charlie sigh under his breath. "Bella what were you doing out in the woods all by yourself? Are you alright?"

"Yeah. Fine Dad. I just tripped on a log or something."

"Alright well let's get you inside you must be freezing." It took me until he said that to realize how truly cold I was, and so I pushed myself farther into the heat of Jake's body.

Jake carried me up to my bedroom where he placed me in the bed while Charlie thanked everyone for their help.

"They're gone Jake," I said knowing he knew who I was talking about; he always seemed to dislike the Cullens.

"Yes. I know Bella. Listen I know you have been through a lot but Sam wants you to come to La Push sometime there is... umm… some things that we need to discuss." Jake seamed nervous I could tell by the way he was rubbing the back of his neck.

"What kind of things Jake?"

"Um… you need to get some rest…so…we'll just talk about it tomorrow, ok? You want to meet me at my house at 1 and then we can head over to Sam's?"

I was way too tired and hurt to argue so I agreed, "I'll see you tomorrow, Jake." I said snuggling myself into the sheets, and dream of a place where I was worthy. Worthy to be with him, worthy of them. Instead of the useless human that I was. But now was not the time for me, it was the time for my friends and family. I spent so much time with them that I had no time for people that really loved, like Jake.

"Ok." Jake said the nervousness still there but happy that I would be in fact coming. He walked to leave when he paused and turned to say, "Have sweet dreams, Bells."

Hey guys I know it's kind of slow and it may be a bit confusing. I just want to clear up that Jake is already a werewolf and the pack is going to tell Bella. Read more to find out why they are telling her this huge secret. I f you have any question just let me know. Please Review!!!!!
