Hello. x.

I hope you enjoy this chapter. We will start to meet the other characters in the story now, particularly the ones from Twilight.

So beginning from this chapter I have to say:

"I do not own any of the original characters from twilight, they belong to Stephenie Meyer but my own characters including Ivy, Calum, Jamie and Cassia are mine."

Enjoy. x.

I woke up to the very uncomforable feeling of someone sat on you.

"Cassia... move." I whispered in my most menacing voice which made her immidiately jump off of me. You'd think that she would learn not to sit on me and/or wake me up in the mornings. Boy, sometimes I think she is just stupid.

"So... What happened last night?" I sighed.

"Why don't you get they boys out. Then you can all find out at the same time and then we could leave." It is tradition in our tribe that a child and his/her closest friends will all leave the tribe together in hopes of supporting each other and helping each other to find their imprints. Jamie, Calum and Cassia have been waiting for me to turn 16 so that we can leave... Luckily Jamie's birthday is about a week before mine, Calums is about 10 days, and Cassia's is three days before so they weren't waiting long and were not wasting too much precious time waiting for me.

We went outside and into the woods by my house and round into a little clearing that we all meet at, we call it our place. Original, I know. As we arrived we noticed that they boys were already there. Jamie, who had short dirty blonde hair, that almost looked brunette, and deep stormy grey-blue eyes. He was the tallest of all of us and was also the most responable of the lot of us. And Calum who, for being the oldest, was the most childish of us all. He had longer curly white blonde hair and light sea blue-green eyes. He smiled widely when he saw us coming and immidiately ran over to hug both of us tightly. Cassia rolled her cerulean blue eyes at him and flipped her bleach blonde hair over her shoulder before walking away behind the tree's to strip off her clothes and transform into the beautiful little orange fox. She softly padded back into the clearing and turned to look at us in a way that clearly said what-the-hell-are-you-waiting-for. Calum, Jamie and I all looked at each other, shrugged, and turned to pick the best tree to strip behind.

Padding back into the clearing I caught sight of the little fox laying in the clearing. It was then that I noticed that she wasn't so 'little' after all, she was almost the same size as me! Next I caught sight of a brown bear make it's way into the clering and sit beside Cassia and pat her on the head with hi giant paw. Jamie then made his way into the clearing. His sleek fur shimmering in the sunlight and his grey-blue eys glinting. I knew instantly that Jamie was the Alpha of out little pack. He was in charge, there was no doubt about that. Instictively I lay down on my belly and slowly crawled to him until I was laying at his front paws. He bent his head and licked mine showing the fact that he was exepting me into his pack. I yipped happily and he lay down beside me. It was so strange being an animal. We seemed to have conversations but through noises and body language rather than talking and facial expressions. Somehow I instantly understood all of what was being said. Jamie flicked his head to the side and we all went to collect our clothes from behind the trees. We got dressed and met back in the clearing and began the short wak back to my house.

"Everyone go home, pack a bag and come back here. Do not pack anything stupid. Three sets of clothes quite a bit of underwear maybe a set of pajamas. Light clothes only ok. We'll be living as an animal most of the time remember so we won't need much. Ok, go. Meet back here at Ivy's house in 10 minutes." Jamie said. Everyone nodded and took off in oposite directions. Jamie took a second to kiss my forehead before taking off to his house. He was always like a big brother to me.

I quickly ran up to my room and grabbed a small backpack and packed a light pair of shorts and tank-top pajama's (as once we transform we cannot feel the cold) and threw a tonne of underwear in the bag and then began to look through clothes. I packed a summer dress and tights, a pair of black denim shorts and a silver, grey and white off the shoulder t-shirt and a black and white mini-skirt with a silver tank-top. I also packed my favourite black, lacy fingerless gloves, a hairbrush and my toothbrush and toothpaste. I smiled and packed it easilt into the small bad and swug it onto my shoulder.

As I made my way out of my room I say my parents stood in the kitchen. Papa smiled proudly and kissed my forehead and wished me good luck before releasing me to my mamma who was waiting to say goodbye. She hugged me in a death-grip and I was almost worried that she would never let go before Papa gently tugged her away from me with a bittersweet smile.

"Goodbye Mamma, Papa." I whispered.

"Good luck Ivy." Papa said leaning forward to kiss my forehead again.

"If you- When you find him... come back. Even if its only for a visit. Just to let us know that youre okay and so that we can meet him." Mamma whispered, begining to tear up.

"I love you Mamma, Papa." I lunged forward tohug them both tighly knowing very well that this could be the last time I ever see them. I straightened myself up after a few minutes and me and my parents went outside to see the other three waiting. I nodded to them and after another quick goodbye to my parents the four of us took of into the unknown, not looking back.

-Almost two years later-

It has been almost two years since I left home. I could feel myself grow weaker and weaker as the days pass and it gets closer to my 18th birthday. We are in a small town of Forks at the moment. It feels right being here so I can only hope that I am close to my imprint. None of the others have found theirs either but they all say that Forks feels right too.

"Ivy, I just Imprinted." I whipped around to look at who had spoken, Calum. My eyes widened and I was gesturing wildly to get the attention of the other two. My having not spoken in about two years has made me temporarily mute. I turned to look at Calum who had gone and was already caught up to the girl who introduced herself as Angela. My eyes widened even more as Calum gently brushed a peice of hair out of her face and she blushed heavily. Oh God I thought If she blushes at a simple touch like that how on earth is she going to survive the rest of her life with Calum? I walked closer to them and heared him telling her about the fact that we're shape-shifters. I ran over and hit his chest.

"Owwie! Ivy!" He pouted. I gestured for him to be more gentle and not tell her straight away, hoping to all things good that he would understand me... He didn't.

"Shush Ivy. So Angela, we, meaning me and my friends, are shape-shifters. And shape-shifters do this thing called Imprinting, it's where we find our soul-mates. You are my soul-mate, I just imprinted on you." He finished with a big cheesy grin and I just pace palmed. Idiot.

"Ermmm..." Angela looked so confused that I almost laughed. She was looking between the two of us. I nodded and she seemed to relax slightly but still looked as if she didnt quite believe us. Calum grabbed her hand and pulled her into the woods. Not creepy at all. I followed them grabbing Jamie and Cassia on the way. When we were in the woods Cassia, Jamie and I went straight behind the tree's to transform.

"Stay here. Please don't be afraid. None of us will hurt you I promise." She nodded slightly as he backed away. Me and Jamie came out first and we made our way over to her. I was a little bigger now. But still very small. Even for a normal animal of my species. Cassia tumbled out of the trees and Jamie and me both whirled around to see what happened. Calum followed her out of the bushes looked like a very happy bear. He headed straight for Angela and butted his big head into her shoulder and then sat down in front of her, patting her with his big paw. I huffed a sigh as well as a wolf could and turned to look at Jamie. We had a silent conversation that we had to learn while in animal form and gestured to the woods. Cassia nodded when she saw us and moved slightly closer to Calum. She would stay and watch over Calum while me and Jamie went to check out the woods.

I turned and ran into the woods loving the feeling of the wind rushing through my fur. I sighed slightly as I slowed down. I came to the edge of a clearing to see a group of very fast, very sweet smelling people. Vampires.

I know some shifters are made to kill vampires but we are just born the way we are, we are not created for any particular reason. I dont have anything against vampires really. They've got to eat, right? Just like humans and animals kill smaller animals such as chickens to eat to survive.

"Edward, what is it?" I heared one of the vampires call. Probably the head of the coven.

"The wolf. Its... human. Like the La Push wolves but from a different pack."

I came out of the tree's then and bounded towards one. He was cute, had curly blonde hair and golden eyes and he had scars covering his whole body.

"JASPER!" I heared one shout.

"It's alright Alice, she won't hurt anyone." 'Jasper' replied. I crouched down lower so I wouldn't seem like such a threat and slowly crept forward. He crouched down and looked at me curiously before sratching my ear. I yipped and he laughed before picking me up. He was strong enough and I was small enough. He was looking at me when I heard a growl come from the tree's and a pack of giant wolves came out growling at the vampires. I howled suddenly. Jamie! Jamie then burst out of the bushes. Saw me and came running straight towrds me. As a human. He walked straight up to Jasper and said;

"Vampires? Ivy, really? I do not understand how you can get yourself into so much trouble I only took my eyes of you for 5 minutes!" I yipped again before transforming.

"Shut up Dick, You've gotten into worse." I croaked as he threw his jacket at me to cover up. He laughed at me.

"Don't strain your voice dear. We'd miss all the whining." I growled at him and he hissed back which immidiately made me bow my head. Damn Alpha.

It was then that I realised I was still cradled in Jaspers arms. I jumped out quickly and backed away.

"Sorry Jasper. And besides Jamie they're veggie's. They've got golden eyes. You know like that girl we ran into last year. Bless her, the guy didn't even stay with her after he changed her. He left her while she was changing. What was her name again?" I rambled. I was hoping that if I used my voice more than it would get better quickly.

"Amelia." Jamie answered. I nodded and looked around at the other wolves. The black one, obviously the alpha, was watching the vampires closely while the others were eyeing me curiosly. A grey one in particular caught my eye and as soon as I looked into his eyes my whole world shifted.

Cliffy, kinda. :)

Hope you liked it, I'll ry to update ASAP :)

Review, tell me what you think. x.
