Chapter 2 (Jacob's Pov)Bella walked over and sat down next to me. I smiled warmly at her. She put her head on my shoulder and sighed contently. Oh god how I love her. She has been my best friend since we were both 6 months old. Almost inseparable, but she doesn't feel the same way about me. If she did she would have said something. It's not like Bella to keep stuff like that to herself. I've tried the whole mind-reading-when-wolf thing. I tried to see if she did feel something for me other than just a best friend but I found nothing. I felt her take a in deep breath and yawned. I laughed,

"You should get home. When was the last time you slept?" I asked, she thought for a moment then answered."I don't know, two, three days tops." she yawned again. I stood up to take her home but she pulled me back down. I looked at her confused.

"Just a few more minutes." she said, I nodded my head as she put her head back on my shoulder. I pressed my face into her hair. I would stay like this forever if she would let me. I opened my mouth to ask her something, anything! That might tell me something about her feelings but I only managed a,

"Hey Bells, um, I was…" before I got cut off by the sound of our howling pack. It sounded important. I sprung up pulling Bella with me. She heard the urgency in the tone of the howls and immediately ran off into the woods to phase. As soon as she was out of sight I pulled my shorts off and tied them around my left calf with a black cord, and I phased. What's up guys? Bella and I asked at the same time.

What the HELL am I!? I heard someone say. It was Brady. He just phased for the first time. He was by himself just off of First beach. Suddenly everyone's voices ran through my head, I couldn't tell whose voice was whose. Bella and I took off to find Brady to explain everything.

Stay calm

Its going to be ok

Were almost to you

You'll love it once you get use to it

Brady, I just need you to stay calm

Stay calm, you can, everything is ok

everything is hell it is! I'm a wolf, thing…and I hear voices in my head!

You know the old stories, about being decedents of wolfs, well there true. Everyone's mind-voice was bouncing off the invisible walls of our head, there has never been more then 4 or 5 wolfs in the pack before, and now there was 11. Talk about a didn't feel right to me. Bella and I broke in to the small clearing where Brady was. He was small compared to the other wolfs, even the ones in the back, even Bella was bigger than him. I heard her growl at me. I laughed it off.

One of you should phase back. Sam said to Bella and me.

I will, Bella said. Her fur was midnight black, just like her hair. She had a small white patch over her right eye. Bella walked into the woods.I felt a shimmer in the air, a moment later Bella came back on two legs. She walked over to Brady and put hear hand on his shoulder. She began trying get him to calm down. I heard Bella yawn with my wolf-like hearing. I held back a laugh and went into the woods to phase. I pulled up my shorts and walked back to where Bella and Brady were,

"Bella, go home, you need some sleep."

"Are you sure?" She asked me, I nodded my head reassuringly. She looked hesitantly at Brady, and back to me.

"He'll be fine, I'll take good care of him." She nodded and walked back into the woods. Paul was there as soon and Bella left. I felt the shimmer in the air as she phased.

(One week later)

Brady finally calmed down enough to phase back. He was told everything he needed to know about being a wolf. Summer was over and it was time for school. A storm had demolished the La Push High School, so the whole high school population was enrolled at the small high school of Forks until it was rebuilt. I just hoped none of us wolfs ran in to the bloodsuckers. No telling how bad that would turn out if we did. But we all know there is no avoiding it. I pulled up to the Clearwater's house and honked the horn. The door opened and Bella came out, followed by Seth. I sighed. I forgot I was also giving a ride to Seth too. Thank god Leah was out of school. Bella opened the front door and slid in the passenger seat, Seth took the back seat. Bella gave me a kiss and Seth made a gagging sound. We shot him a look. I finally worked up enough courage and asked Bella out a couple days ago, she said yes. Yes, I thought, she said yes. I put the car into drive and headed towards Forks. Bella and I were both juniors along with Quil, Embry and Jared. Paul was a senior. Seth, Collin and Brady were freshmen. I pulled into the parking lot next to where the rest were parked. Bella, Seth and I all got out of the car. We talked for a few minutes then walked to the administrative office to get our daily schedules. Bella and I were in all of my classed but one, biology. Embry was in three of mine classes, Quil in all of them, and Jared in only one. The whole pack had lunch together so that was good. Bella, Quil, Embry and I all walked to first period together. A sickly sweet smell filled my nose. I wrinkled my face and scanned the room for the cause. I soon met the eyes of a Leech.
