Disclaimer: Stephani owns it... I am just screwing with it because I would have preferred it this way! Still no infringement intended!

A/N: I am leaving the time line deliberately vague, I hope this doesn't bother anyone! Also I promise to kinda halfway answer some questions here. As for how I am handling Paul imprinting on Bella... keep in mind I am not familiar with the books, so I am doing my best to describe it as I believe it would happen.

Hwy 101, Washington State

August

Bella listened to the heavy beat filter through her small ear buds as the squad car rushed down the slick highway. Charlie wasn't speeding. He never did. But then when you was a Chief of Police, even outside your district you had to set a good example. She snorted internally as the pounding of the song Bloodletting filled her ears, ironic her listening to the so called vampire song. Her real father would probably chuckle about that. But then he was the one who had loaded it into her IPod, or rather had one of his guard do it for him, so she supposed it was his version of a joke. Whatever the reason he did it, it made her feel closer to him listening to the music he had loaded on the IPod before sending to her for her 18th birthday.

She pushed away thoughts of her biological father and focused on the man beside her. Regardless of the fact that she had almost immediately begun listening to her music when they got into the car, she wasn't meaning to imply that she didn't want to be with him. No, she didn't minded being with Charlie at all, the man didn't push or get in her business, she loved that about him. She also knew how to back him off the few times he had tried to pry into her business. Seriously one mention of female bodily functions and Charlie had a fishing pole in hand and was out the door so fast it would have made a newborn vampire on speed jealous. Bella had always found his reaction hilarious.

Thinking about Charlie made her look over at the silent dark haired man who thought he was her father. She would never tell him any different. After all no use telling him his precious Renee had been seduced by a tall, handsome stranger even before they were married. Not only that but she gave birth to a half breed, and made certain the real father was in the child's life. No, it would do nothing but break his heart to know that. And while Bella was here to break a heart it wasn't Charlie's. So she would make sure he never found out. Besides, she did genuinely love him like a father. She would kill anyone who hurt him. It wasn't a game... seriously... she would torture and kill anyone who looked cross-eyed at her human father.

Charlie glance over at Bella, giving her a half smile that warmed her heart. After he turned his attention back to the highway, Bella took in the surrounding forest. She knew they were nearing Forks, and she was forced to suppress a shudder of disdain. She loved Charlie, but she hated Forks. But then she wasn't here for a social visit was she? No, she wasn't. Someone couldn't keep his self important, holier-then-thou mouth shut, about things they didn't have any right to bad mouth, and Bella was here to correct that. Edward Cullen had gone to far this time, self righteous bastard that he was. No one spoke badly of the Voltouri and hoped to get away with it... no one except Eddie boy.

It was pretty bad when even in Phoenix, Bella had heard of the shit he was talking. And if there was one thing that pissed her off more then someone messing with Charlie, it was someone messing with her blood. Granted her father's brothers were devious, most times evil, and always self serving, but they were family. And while she could hold whatever opinion she wanted to about his brothers that was her right. She was one of them... sort of. And so here she was, rushing down a highway in the middle of bum-fuck-Washington, headed to the hell she knew of as Forks. Damn she missed the sunshine... she hated the cold... the wet... the lack of light... and it was just pissing her off at Cullen even more that it was because of his sorry ass she had to come here. All to teach the boy a lesson. Little shit might be over a hundred, but he was as mouthy as any teenage boy who needed a lesson in not talking shit when you couldn't back it up.

Bella fought down the bestial growl that began to well in her chest at the thought of him. Closing her now crimson eyes, so Charlie wouldn't see them, she wrestled her errant emotions under control. Once she felt her half breed nature was under control she opened her eyes again, looking out the passenger side window at the darkening woods.

She gasped as she saw a streak of russet followed quickly by a streak of silver, narrowing her eyes she focused her preternatural half breed sight on the streaks that seemed to be keeping to the shadows of the trees yet keeping pace with the car. One side of her lips tilted up into a wicked little half smile that had been known to make even Jane cringe, the few times she had seen it. In the depths of the woods outside the field of human vision, two of the locals were keeping pace with Charlie's squad car.

Ahh, the wolves. Wonder which ones. Bella wondered, before locking eyes with the silver one as it's head turned in her direction. For a moment her entire world came crashing in on her and nothing but the majestic creature before meant anything. At least that's how she felt until the huge beast stopped stock still and she lost sight of him. It was only moments later that she lost sight of the huge russet wolf as well.


Paul's eyes locked on the deep brown eyes of Bella Swan, and his world fell away, causing him to stop. In that moment it was as though his entire world dropped away and his soul would have floated away had it not been for her. The invisible threads that bound him to her were stronger then any steel, and more permanent then any tattoo... they left an indelible mark on his soul. He felt the trap close around him with a finality that was terrifying. After what he saw with Sam, Emily and Leah, he never wanted to imprint... hell even if it hadn't been for that whole mess, he wouldn't have wanted to give up his free will in such a manner... let alone his string of chew toys, as the pack called them. For a moment he felt as if he were stuck in a bear trap, except he couldn't gnaw his leg off to get out of this. He was screwed!

Oh fuck no... this is such bullshit! He snarled as he lost sight of her. He took a few unwilling steps in the direction the squad car went before he stopped himself.

Paul? Did you just...? Jacob's question made him realize he couldn't hide this. You did, didn't you? Oh man... Sam is gonna freak... The Chief's daughter? Damn man... sucks to be you.

Fuck you, Black! He snarled before launching at the larger russet wolf, wanting to rip him apart, anything to make him stop feeling this way. But Jacob refused to cater to the anger filling his pack mate. He danced back, lolling his tongue out as his laughter filled their minds.

Sorry man, you aren't my type, and apparently since I am not a little white girl, I'm not yours! Jacob taunted his pack mate, dodging again before taking off as fast as he could through the tree line headed back to the reservation, taunting Paul the entire way.

A/N #2: I know Meyer's wrote hybrids as killing their mothers at birth, but I am tweeking the whole hyrbid thing to fit some legends about half vampire half humans I know about. Also you will find my half breeds a bit different then her hybrids... they in fact have a cross between blood and venom, making them to appear more vampiric in times of stress, or under great emotional strain. It also causes them to behave more like vampires, growling, hissing, snarling ... think of it kind of like having a beast that sometimes you just can't control. I will fill you in more on my half breeds as the story progresses!

So I have provided half answers to some questions: What is Bella? A Half Breed Vampire... or Damphir. Who is Bella's Father? A Voltouri... which one will be revealed when the time is right. Will Jacob be obsessed with Bella? No he will just be her friend.

As always enjoy, and please review...
