I don't own twilight

Thank you for the reviews, glad you like it.

"Sam." I shouted as I ran out of the house throwing myself towards him. He put his arms out to stop me, holding me by my shoulders. "Sam you haven't been round for ages, have you made up with Leah yet? What's been the matter with? Why are you only wearing shorts?" questions just blurted put of my mouth and I am sure I saw a faint smile appear on his lips." I have missed you so much Sam." My shoulders started to burn. "Your hands are so hot, are you ill?" as soon as I said that he dropped his hands and stepped away from me. "What's wrong with you? Talk to me please." My voice broke at the end and I could feel tears filling my eyes. He clenched his shaking hands and closed his eyes. "Sam." I whispered taking a step closer to him. Just then his eyes snapped open and his face changed like a mask "I have grown up Kim, that's all, I have other things to do now." With that he walked towards the house to the older men. As I watched them I could see he was no longer my happy fun loving cousin who would spend hours playing soccer with, or take me to La Push beach to try and teach me to surf. He was like my brother but seeing him today I could tell he was not that same guy. He had changed.

Slowly I walked back towards the house. As I stepped into the hall I was just in time to see my grandfather and the other council members entering his office with Sam closing the door behind them. My grandmother appeared at the kitchen door, wearing an apron with the dishcloth in her hand. "Oh Kimberly would you mind helping me in the kitchen, the men will be wanting something to eat soon and I have some cakes baking. Have you finished your homework?" she walked back into the kitchen. "It's nice to see Sam home isn't it?" she asked handing me a knife and some potatoes. "Yeah I think so he is different though." I answered. "He is growing up darling that's all; all men go though the same thing, don't worry about it." Giving me a little smile. "Gran, why is he at a council meeting, it not like him?" She bent down to check the cake in the oven, "Your grandfather and the other men were worried about him after he ran off , but they seemed to have helped Sam and now have offered him a place on the council, a bit of young blood will be good. Don't you think?" "I suppose" I said and carried on peeling the potatoes.

I knocked on the door of my grandfathers office with my foot while trying to hold a tray of food for the men. The door opened slowly "Thanks Kim, could you just put it on the desk." I walked carefully towards the desk with the heavy tray. Halfway across the room my foot caught the edge of the rug I could feel myself loose my balance and the grip on the tray. Suddenly Sam had the tray in one hand and was stopping me from hitting the floor with his other. "Eh… thanks. Your fast." I stuttered as he set me down and placed the tray on the table. "Just hungry. Didn't want the food to be wasted." he said his back still to me. "Kim, you need to be more careful. Go and finish helping your grandmother." "Thank you Sam." I said and walked out of the room closing the door behind me.

I did washing up and then went back upstairs to finish off some more homework. I had just finished when there was a knock at my door. "come in" the door opened and there Sam stood. "I'm sorry about earlier" he said still standing in the door way. "That's ok, you can come in you know." He walked slowly in and sat down on the end of my bed. "your grandfather told me you walked home from school alone today, near the woods, Kim you need to be careful there are dangerous things out their." "thanks for your concern but I have already had a lecture of grandfather I don't need another one off you." I snapped back at him. "I am just trying to look out for you. You are lucky that bear didn't hurt you" "Is that what he said I saw? Sam it was not a bear I swear it was a wolf a GIANT wolf I'm sure it was." "Kim, w…wolves don't get that big." He stuttered over the word. "I think I know the difference between a wolf and a bear Sam." He stood up quickly closing his eyes again with his hands in fists trembling at his sides "Just STAY out of the woods okay. Just stay safe." When he opened his eyes the mask was back the older, harder, new face of Sam. "Promise me Kim." He looked scary "Fine I promise, I'll get a lift home with Jen, I'll stay out of the woods." "Good." Just then my phone went off I had a message from Jen Hi Kim don't forget about prom shopping tomorrow xx. I groaned "Like I would forget that." I muttered to myself "what's the matter?" Sam asked "Just Jen reminding me we are shopping tomorrow for prom dresses." "You are going to the prom?" he said with a laughthe mask slipped a little and I could see a bit of the old Sam coming through. "You don't have to laugh about it" I said throwing a cushion at him. "I bet you are looking forward to that right? Who are you going with?" "A cousin of Jens boyfriend and I am only going cause she is making me." "I'm sure you will have a good time, going to prom is part of growing up you should enjoy it." He said looking more like his old self. "I like this Sam, the old Sam I have missed him." He walked over to me and gave me a hug. "I miss him to." He replied "will you find him again?" I asked "I don't know." He answered looking a little sad. "I better go, I will see you soon." He said walking towards the door "bye, call Leah she has been so worried about you." "I'll try." He said as he mad his way down the stairs. "Remember you promised me you will stay out of the forest." He called up to me. I felt so tired, today had been strange but I felt as if it was just the start of it.

I could hear the rain drops falling off the trees overhead and the squelching of the mud underneath my feet. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I screamed, "Sam" I whispered as I turned around. "You promised me you would stay away from the forest Kim!" I could hear the anger in his voice. "I'm sorry I just ….." "I'm taking you home" he shouted as he grabbed my arm and started to drag me away. He let go of me and started to walk faster "Slow down a bit Sam I can't keep up with you" I tripped over a loose stone and fell onto my knees, when I looked up Sam had gone. I stood up and brushed the mud off my jeans. "Sam? Sam where are you?" I shouted as I stated to walk in the direction I thought he had gone. I heard a growl behind me as I turned around I has face to face with the wolf. I gasped as I sat up in bed shaking from what I had just dreamed about. I sat on the side of the bed with my head in my hands, taking deep breaths trying to calm down. I turned my head to look at the clock on my bedside table it was 4.16. I lay back down on my bed totally awake with the dream still spinning around my head it felt too real. I opened the draw of my bedside table and got out my mp3 player; I turned it on and put in my earphones hoping to get the dream out of my head and some more sleep.
