Thank you so much for reading my story and having the patience to go to my next chapter, so I am in so much debt to all of you. Enjoy chapter two, and pity me. My writing sometimes takes a while…..

IT BEGINS!!!

After the meal I sat there smiling as the boys told stories from their past and laughed at each others jokes, and for a second I had a hope that they would forget me, when Sam turned to me. "So what's your story Chris?" I mentally winced.

I stood up and walked over to the counter and hoisted myself up onto it sitting down and looking at them and I take in a deep breath before letting it out with a sigh. "Well I might as well get this over with."

I cleared my throat. "Well alright, I was born fourteen years ago in the high north very close to Alaska, I was born in an Eskimo village, my father was American my mother Eskimo which is where I got the lupine DNA. Well, I grew up rather fast, the first time I ever phased I was eight actually….a polar bear had gotten into my little sister rooms and was about to kill her. I shifted in time to stop it, and I was invited into the pack. The village didn't know about the pack, only the people who had the gene active. Once I was invited I became an outcast. I was no longer allowed in the village. It was forbidden for them to know the secrets of the pack.

"Well I slowly worked myself up the ranks until I was second in command, the Alfa, a young boy named Nikko, was a blond wolf. I spent a lot of time with him, we became best friends. We spent hours a day just running through the tundra. That's all it was there, non stop snow. I was always running, it's just what I do, I would go on for miles after he had tired down, but I would always come back with him."

This was the part I wasn't going to like. "well…..eventually, Nikko started to act strange around me he started to be so much happier around me, and anytime I said something specifically to him, he would turn red, I realize now he was blushing. He started to change himself, he ran more and developed more muscle, took good care of his long hair, I became curious as to why he was doing these things, well one day, I went to his house out at the ice ridge, when I walked in he was getting dressed. He turned red when he noticed I had walked in on him and I didn't know why he was blushing. Well, when I asked him, he didn't answer me I pushed the subject until he suddenly turned and pulled me into a kiss."

I waited for it and there it was everyone's sudden emotion shift. For most of them it became awkwardness, as they realized I'd seen them naked. To one person it was curiosity, and to Sam specifically, was indifference, he didn't care.

"Well frankly, I was stunned, but eventually I started kissing him back. Needless to say he was ecstatic afterwards. He started going everywhere with me and me with him and eventually it wasn't a crush anymore, it was love. Unfortunately my tribe frowned upon this highly, and one day after me and him…..uhhh…..you knowed…….one of our pack mates looked through the window to his home and saw us. The next day we were woke up suddenly by the other wolves, coming to stop us from getting too close, when they realized they were too late they didn't even think about their choice. One minute they were our friends the next they were our hunters.

"We were on the run again we never stopped running, but they never stopped chasing us. One day they finally caught up to us, it was suppose to be two on two, but after we left more boys took to the change, and it was now four on two, I wanted to stay….I wanted to fight with him…..he told me to run, told me to not look back…..I didn't listen at first but eventually I ended up having to run away after seeing the person I loved ripped to shreds. And then I ran. I didn't stop running for six weeks then I ran into the Cullens that pointed me here….."

I looked down and away from them feeling their reactions, but there was still that boy with curiosity, which confused me but I felt the disgust and even hate in the others, it was only two of them actually, the girl, who had heard my story over the mind link, and a tall lanky boy. But the small muscled boy was the curious one, and he looked at me odd before I stood up. "Excuse me, I'm going outside." I turned and ran outside at a full sprint. I had shed my clothes and shifted before I hit the trees.

I would be back, but I couldn't be there now. It was the silence, the way none of them had said anything at all after my story, it's what bothered me the most. I felt the presence of two other wolves coming up behind me and I knew Sam had sent some to make sure I didn't leave; I turned around midstride and snapped at both of them as they ran by me, unknowingly. They both jumped away with yips, and I took off in the opposite direction, getting away from them easily.

It wasn't a long run before I reached the beach, and I walked down the beach my tail waving behind me as I left wet paw prints in the ground. I knew that they were there in the trees staring at me and Sam was the first to come down. "They understand you Chris, please come back to Emily's." I look at him my gold eyes burning. "No. I'll find a nice cave thank you." He sighed in his mind "We can take you to the black residence, there's a garage there that you can stay in, will that help? Being away from the others?" I nodded my large head before shifting back and pulling my clothes on.

"Just lead the way." I said simply and he took off into the trees still in his wolf form, me running quickly beside him.

It was a five minute run to the small run down house, and Sam led me to the garage in the back, before he went to notify Billy? I think that was his name……

I looked around the small garage which had a small car, and tools all over the walls. I looked around for something to sleep on, and found an old tattered blanket on the ground. Good enough for me.

I rolled it out on the floor and settled myself down. Now to search for something to use as a pillow. I settled for a small backpack on the floorboard of the car. I laid it down and pressed my head against it, planning on just lying down for a second, but I was out within six seconds to none.

I woke up later to a loud banging and a curse. I sat up looking around and found the small muscular guy from Emily's house. In his hands was a large tray full of food and my stomach rumbled at the prospect of food.

He chuckled and lifted the tray to me. "Hi, I'm Quil, and I was told to bring you some food especially after you've slept for three days strait…." I guess it made sense that I slept so long when I ran for six weeks strait, and maybe an hour of sleep a week. I stretched my body and heard my elbows pop. I sat up and held my hands out for the tray and he walked over. Unusually slow then laid the tray in my hands, before he opened the door to the car and settled himself in the chair looking out at me.

I smiled at him and brought one of the many sandwiches in my lap to my mouth. He smiled at me then began to fidget nervously and I turned to him a few seconds before setting my food down. "What do you want?" he fidgeted a bit more then. "Well……I wanted you advise on something…." I raised an eyebrow. "And that is?" he stood up then started pacing.

I guess….I wanted t know how you knew…..how you found out you were gay…cause……I think I'm having the same problem….." Oh…….that.

"Oh…I figured it out when Nikko kissed me……I guess you could find a guy you like and try a relationship with him. Then if you think that is what you want, I guess you can just go with it." He nodded quickly then spoke nervously. "Okay then…..will you go out with me?" that left me stunned.

"Oh……oh…..ummm……sure, I'll go out with you…..I might not be a very good person to go out with because I just recently lost Nikko……but he would be happy if I moved on…..sure, I guess……ummm, when are we going out?"

He smiled, "Well we have a bonfire in a few days, just members of the pack, in celebration of all those newborn vampires we killed a few days ago. So…..will you go with me?" I nodded and he smiled at me warmly before bounding off looking ecstatic.

I chuckled and finished off my food quickly before stepping outside and stretching again before heading to the small house that belonged to this "Billy Black". I knocked gently on the door and I heard shuffling. Then the door opened to the person I learned later was known as Jacob Black. The only thing I knew right then. Was that I could not look away.

Jacobs POV.

I opened the door and found myself staring at a young boy his skin a tan color and his hair a bleach color and his clothes were crude, furs and whatnot. And his small body was beyond well muscled. And I noticed that his eyes were centered on me as mine were on his. He was…..beautiful.

It took me a few seconds to realize what was happening. I don't know how I didn't notice it as it had been rather often. I felt myself reaching out a hand to touch his face, I was still slightly clouded in the head when it popped into place. I was imprinting. With a guy. My hand snapped back as if it had been burned.

I turned around immediately and spoke rather harshly "Leave!" I heard him stammer. "But….I….you…." I cut him off yelling loudly. "GO AWAY!" I heard him make a few noises as if he was trying to speak but his words were stuck in his throat. Then heard a strangled sound then feet pounding against ground as he ran away. I started to walk to my room, my side still a bit sore from recently healing, and yet even though I told myself I didn't care, even though I sweared deep down that it didn't matter, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. Like I had stabbed myself in the chest.

"GAH!" I screamed out loudly. "I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM! WHY THE HELL SHOULD I CARE!" I sat down on the couch my head in my hands and found it hard to breath. "I love Bella. I am not gay. I love Bella. I am not gay. I love….Bella…..I……love…." I stopped talking and just made sure I didn't move. It wasn't long before Sam was in and turned to me.

"What happened to Chris? Jacob?" I looked up and when water hit my hand I looked down stunned. I was…..crying. "He came inside….and something started to happen…..I think…..I think I was imprinting with him……" I heard a few gasps and Sam paled a bit. "You…denied it….?"

I nodded my head weakly and before I knew it, three things happened. Sam took off outside, and Quil punched me strait across the face. I fell sideways and grasped my red cheek looking up at him astonished as he shook his head then ran outside already shedding his clothes.

I looked up at each member of the pack as they shook their heads at me. "What?" I asked. Paul answered me. "Why did you deny it Jacob? We could feel his pain as we ran here. You have no idea what you've done to him. So why did you do it Jacob?"

Chris's POV

I walked back up to the house planning on just talking this through but as I walked up I caught the end of Paul's question then I caught Jacobs answer. "Because, I am in love with Bella, and I am not some queer!" I had just walked in when he said that and they all turned to me, Jacobs face looking at me then paling as he realized what he had just said, and the other glared at him. I took a deep breath and straitened myself a bit, and somehow managed to look at Jacob with a small bit of cold anger, though I wanted so badly to ogle.

"Jacob. I would like to say, I am sorry. I figured that when Bella talked of you, that it was more then it sounded. And if I should leave, to make this easier for you-"I was surprised when Jacob yelled out. "NO!" then he clamped a hand over his mouth. I took in a few breaths then continued.

"Well. I think it is best, if…..well if we don't see each other. I think it is best, because I, have already been asked out by someone else, and I recently lost someone I loved, so this stress isn't gonna be helping much, and you love Bella. So that solves it for both of us."

Jacobs POV.

I…..I didn't hear what I thought I heard did I? Someone else…..asked him…..out? The stab of pain in my chest couldn't be explained. No…no that's a good thing right...?...right?

I nodded slowly, and tried to make my face look stern when I turned up to him. "I….agree with that….but I'd actually prefer, if you'd let me become your friend……that way if you become a permanent member of the pack, we could get along." What I was saying didn't make a lot of sense, I knew we'd be fine if we just didn't see him anymore….but I cou8ldn't think of that.

He seemed to think it over then nodded, looking away from me and at Quil. Which brought up the question I had been wondering about. Why did Quil punch me?

Chris's POV.

I turned to Quil and on an impulse I reached out and took his hand in mine walking from the house with him in tow. I turned around and saw him smiling at me warmly and now that I was out of Jacobs view, I found it easy to smile back and I let go of his hand and I bound off him running behind me and I laughed already enjoying myself and I transformed into my wolf form him not far behind me as we took off into the trees I went slowly so we could go at a comfortable pace for him, and I turned my head to him and I found his dark brown eyes looking at me with a smile in them.

I smiled and took off a bit faster and he followed after me happily, I smiled again and ran a it further until I came out onto cliffs, looking out over the ocean from he thoughts in Quil's mind this was where they would usually cliff dive. I transformed back into my human form tying my furs around my waist and walked forward looking over the waves with a smile on my face, the rain for once not falling.

He walked up to me smiling and looked over the ocean for a second until I spoke. "It's beautiful. I've never seen the ocean, all I ever saw was ice….." he smiled and tentively grabbed my hand/ "I know something even more beautiful." I turned to him raising an eyebrow. He smiled "You." I turned a slight pink. It wasn't even our first date and look at him. Not that I minded.

He smiled then bit his bottom lip, then in a second I hadn't even noticed, his lips were softly pressed to mine. I was a bit surprised and I made the choice to kiss him back, when I heard a loud scream and Jacob was there beside us and punched Quil hard enough for him to stagger and fall over the cliff.

I was over the edge before he had even turned back to me and I soared downward straitening my body as much as I can and I hit Quil's body mid air, before turning in the air and pulling the dagger from my belt before imbedding it into the stone face where sparks started to fly but we gradually slowed down until we came to a stop and I was hugging Quil to my body and both of us hanging from my dagger in the rocks.

I turned Quil in my arms until he was looking right at me and he looked around confused then at me and too in a deep breath but answered shakily. "Thank….you..."

I smiled and unfledged my dagger so we fall far enough until I landed on a jutting out rock and threw myself onto the beach and sat Quil down on his feet. Then my rage started to boil and I turned to the cliffs before stopping, turning, and giving Quil a peck on the lips before I bound around and I was back up on the cliff jabbing a finger into Jacobs's chest until h fell down onto the rocks staring at me.

"Why the hell did you do that Jacob?! Huh?! What's wrong with me being with a guy?!" he stared at me a few second before standing up and pointing at me. "You can't be with him!" I turned a bit red in my face. "Why the hell not?!"

He seemed to think it over for a bit then spoke, "You shouldn't be with someone else in your own pack, it's not right!" I raised an eyebrow. "Are we going to start saying whats right and wrong? Cause trust me you don't wanna go there. If you go there, I will tell you how wrong it is to deny your imprint! You wanna know why?! Because if you were imprinting just like I was then we were meant to be together! But you!" I pushed him back down. "You decide that you don't want to be with your imprint, because you're not gay! Oh by golly, the world is gonna ignite in flames! Oh wait, or is it because you refuse to acknowledge the fact that the girl you want, IS NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU! SHES IN LOVE WITH A VAMPIRE!"

He stared up at me stunned. As if he couldn't grasp the fact that I hit that low under the belt. But I didn't pause, "So, if you're not going to do anything about me and you! Then you cannot hate me for being with someone else. So deal with it, when I tell you I am going with Quil to the bonfire in two days, AS his date! So you can move on! You didn't want ME, remember?!?! I would have taken you! But no, I believe your words were "I am not some queer!" so get over yourself you bastard! If you don't want me, then I won't beat myself up over you!"

I turned and walked away hearing him scramble up behind me then he walked up and placed a hand on my shoulder turning me around, what he wasn't expecting was my fist that connected hard with his jaw. He staggered back then looked at me shocked. "Don't touch me!" I yelled loudly before turning and walking away.

I looked angry to him, but actually the place he had touched me felt warm, and I wanted so bad to touch it, to see if I could feel him on me, but I resisted and ran down to the beach and took Quils hand before walking down the beach with him beside me until we went into the trees and out of Jacobs view, where he still stood shocked on the cliff.

Jacobs POV

He….just…..why did I hit Quil? That wasn't my business. I don't even know why I followed them. I was….just…..curious that's it. That still doesn't explain why I punched Quil. All I remember is…jeal…..jealou….jealousy…….I was extremely jealous….of Quil.

His lips….against…..the…..beautiful painting of a persons….lips…why was I jealous! I am not gay! I don't care that he is with Quil….I don't….really.

I turned and walked off in the opposite direction of Chris. I got four steps before I swung around and started following them again. I'm only curious. Right?
