Hey!

I hope you enjoy this one! It's not as dramatic as Chase's story,

which is absolutely amazing considering the crap week that I've been having.

(OK, only half crap. I've only had one day of classes at school this week,

so that's a good thing) Actually, I wrote this one for a bit of comic relief. I

love Brady, he is absolutely hilarious, and so I couldn't resist adding him into this!

Lena, I'm sorry I didn't update last night like I said I would, but hopefully this is worth the wait!

"You, Brady, are completely delusional."

"Yeah, right," my cousin scoffed. "I'm not the one who's convinced that they've got a ten inch di-" I stuffed my arm into Brady's mouth to shut him up. He bit me and continued speaking, "-when we all know it's not even two."

"Brady! Don't talk like that in front of Jayde!" I pulled the seven-year-old onto my knee. She stayed there for a second, before climbing across to sit on Brady. "Typical," I muttered. Jayde always went to Brady. He started tickling her, and she shrieked with joy. I shook my head. I would never understand Brady. Around me he was so immature, but with Jayde he was the most patient, caring person in the world. There was something almost magical about his relationship with her, and sometimes it scared me…

My thoughts were interrupted by Brady. "Seeing as you're in town for a while, how about coming to the bonfire tonight?" Brady was obviously expecting an answer from me, and he continued speaking when he didn't get one. "No chicks there, except for the ones who are already taken, so you're outta luck there. But old Billy Black will be telling his stories, won't he Jayde?"

Jayde giggled. She always did, whenever Brady spoke to her. "Yep. Wolf stories."

I sighed. I didn't really want to go, but I couldn't see any way to get out of it. I mean, Brady was my only family here. "I'll be there."

Brady smiled. "Meet me at six-thirty at First Beach…that is, if you're not too scared."

"So what did you think?" Brady sat down on one of the rusty, old deck chairs.

"Not bad, but as far as scary stories go, I've heard better." I sat down on a chair beside Brady. He opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted him by standing up. The chair made a funny noise. I sat, then stood up again. "Hey, look, it squeaks!"

My favourite cousin snorted. "Yeah, so does yours because you don't use it enough." He started laughing, and I couldn't help but join in.

After a couple of minutes, Brady settled down. For what was probably the first time in his life, his face was serious. "Anyway, what I was going to say before is, what would you say if I told you that all of those stories were true?

Brady explained everything to me. A week later, I first phased.

Only a couple of days after that, we went to the beach with Jayde's family. Immediately, I was drawn to Jayde's twin, Nicola. I could finally understand why Brady was so good with Jayde. Nicola adored me, and I couldn't – can't – bear to let her out of my sight. She is, and always will be, my sun – the brightest star in the sky of my life.

At first, I was a part of Sam's pack. However, I didn't get along with Paul and I couldn't stand having him in my head. So, after two long, painful months I decided to join Jacob's pack, where I have found a close friend in Leah. In the six months that I've been with Jake's pack, I have become close with all of the wolves, but Leah is still my best friend. Embry always gives us a hard time, sayig that we should date, but we just ignore him. Leah doesn't see me in that way, and I will only ever have eyes for Nicola.
