AN: Hi everybody! I know that I haven't updated in a REALLY long time, but the reason involves a lot of excuses that none of you care to hear because it would take up a full page. Anyways, I'm typing for 3 hours today in order to update all of my stories. Okay I'm shutting up now.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea.
Chapter 3: Turn Away
I escaped without any complications; I didn't even see anybody else. Hopping over the final fence, I knew this was the last time that I would ever see this place. For that, I was glad.
I changed easily into my demon form and slung the backpack containing my money and a few other things onto my shoulder. Then I took off as fast as a bullet. This was the start of my new life... I would have to take my mother's advice and go to La Push.
After wracking my brain for cities that I had always wanted to visit, I settled for Chicago. Something about it drew me there. Plus there were a lot of people in that city. Even if the other demons could follow my path, there would be too many people around to do anything to me. Now decided, I took off in the right direction.
Tomorrow night I would be in a new city and have a new purpose in life. Finding a job wouldn't be too hard. One year to save up even more money so that I could start my new life as soon as it was safe to go to La Push. Until then, I would be forced into the working world. 365 days until my new life began...

362 days of my working as a waitress, and I was finally free. According to what my mother had said, there would no longer be a threat barring me from La Push. My savings had risen to $10,000. It was enough for me to pack everything back into my old backpack and leave the city that had been my home for a year.
For the next 2 days I ran at a leisurely pace towards my new home. At sunrise on October 31st, 2005, I crossed the La Push line. My new life had begun... or so I thought. I slipped back into my human form since I was now walking alongside a road.
How would I find my father's family? I looked more like my mother than I did my father. After the years of abuse that I had suffered through, I was too shy to knock on people's doors in the hopes of finding my father's family.
But as I thought, I remembered that this was werewolf territory. Though the ones in the current pack would not know my father because they would have been very young or not even born at the time, they should know something of him. He had been an important part of the La Push community, so they should be able to help me out... right?
Finally having a plan that would work, I walked underneath the shelter that the forest provided. I settled my backpack carefully around my ankle and morphed into my werewolf form.
I had fur that was the opposite of my father's. My father had been pitch black with a small amount of white at the tip of his tail. I on the other hand was white with a small amount of black on my tail. Voices immediately bombarded my mind.
Sam, the pack is getting too big. The bloodsuckers haven't even come near the line yet.
There were vampires nearby? Peachy.
I know Jake... hey, do you smell that?
I stiffened because their 'voices' had been growing louder. That had to mean that they were coming closer. Well, better sooner than later. The two wolves stepped into my view.
The first, and the biggest, held himself as the leader. He was pure black. The other was a russet colored wolf. Both looked at me with cautious eyes.
What's your business here?
I'm just trying to find my father's family. It was so weird to talk mentally.
What's your name? This question had come from the russet colored wolf.
Bella Swan. The second I told them my name, their black eyes hardened.
She's CHARLIE'S daughter? That demon mixture?
Yes.., I thought. I was standing right hear and could obviously hear their thoughts.
You're not welcome here. The leader's voice was much harsher than it had previously been.
I morphed back into my human form. My clothes never ripped, they just seemed to reappear as I did. "What do you mean that I'm not welcome?" I was getting angry now, part of the reason that I had gone back to my human form. If I got too mad, I would shift into my demon self.
The two boys also morphed and quickly pulled pants on. "Your kind are not welcomed here because of what the last one brought down on our people. We cannot let that happen again."
"You mean demons? In case you haven't noticed, I'm a werewolf too."
"We don't allow demons," he said firmly. "Now get off of our land."
So I had come this far just to be turned away? I ran from the place that help me prisoner just so that I would be rejected by the place that I had run to?
The one that had russet fur as a werewolf now spoke. "We're sorry Bella. but the others from you group will look for you like they did for your mother. We can't take that risk. Go to Forks if you must. Just head in that direction."
I glared and turned in the direction he had pointed me after picking up my bag. My new life would be a lot newer than I had wanted. I was truly alone in the world. What would I do?
