Chapter 4- Discoverys

I shivered at the memory, "He'll come around".
"He thinks you should be with someone else, he still thinks I'm not good enough for you- And I agree."
"No don't say that! Your more than good enough for me, your more than I deserve! Don't listen to him he just doesn't want me to grow up and leave, He still thinks of me as his little girl." I really didn't want to get into this argument again. "Besides, I've said yes now and once I've made a decision I stick to it so your stuck with me- Sorry."
I smiled at him and he smiled back my favourite crooked grin.
"I could never be stuck with you. I couldn't think of anything more perfect than spending the rest of eternity with you."

After much persuation I allowed Alice to take me shopping for Mine and Edward's engagment party on the 15th October. No amount of complaning or pleading could get me out of it so I was forced to just grin and bare it- much to Alice's delight. The party was to be held at the Cullens home on the and the whole town was invited. Naturally everyone had said they would attend- merely out of curiousity according to Edward. Suprisingly, Jacob Black hadn't called to say he would be coming. I mean yes we hadn't really spoke in a long time but I'd known him practically my whole life and for him not to even bother coming to my engagment party I though was a little rude. Emmette jokingly suggested that maybe he started believing in his stories of the Quilite tribe's enemies-
the 'Cold Ones'. I started to think that maybe he was right, Billy had clearly believed the legends- maybe he had convinced Jacob that they were more fact than fiction as he once thought.
Edward was less than happy to here the news.

"Why did you invite him Alice? You know the reservation is very supertisious of us. And now that he's not even coming maybe he believes too..."
"Relax Edward! Jacob is Bella's friend and his Father is Charlies best friend- of course he'll come, imagine how it would look if we didn't invite them".
"Edward, Jacob doesn't believe the stories- he couldn't do! As far as he was concerned they were just a silly story used to scare the kids on the reservaton. If he has decided that their more than just stories then I'll find out how much he knows. Charlie mentioned that he was going fishing with Billy today, maybe I should pay a visit to Jake and find out whats going on". He nodded but I could tell he was still less than happy about something.

-o-

Jacob's house was just how I remembered it. Back when I spent my summers down in Forks as a kid I would spend most of my time playing here with Jacob and his sisters (most likely my dads idea to keep us occupied while himself and Billy fished). It was a small wooden place with narrow windows, the dull red paint making it resemble some sort of tiny barn. As I pulled up I saw Jacob's head poking through the curtain. With one quick last look I removed my engagment ring from my finger (I didn't think this would be the best time to tell him of my engament).
Before I even had a chance to say hi he had come running out and pulled me into one of his bone crunching hugs leaving me breathless- and not in a good way.

"J-ake, I-I can't, Breath!" He instintly let me go.
"Oh sorry Bella. I guess I don't know my own strength anymore".
"You can say that again! Jake your huge! How much have you grown and you cut your hair?"
He looked down at the floor "Well you haven't exactly been around so I guess it looks abit drastic to you." Oh boy. I didn't think he would be this upset.
"Jake I'm sorry I haven't been here. It's just I've been spending alot of time with Edward and school just started..."
"Phh! I should of known he would be the reason your never hear! Why are you still with that guy?"
"Jacob you don't even know him!".
"I know him alot more than you think- I know what he is and I know you do to. Urgh! It makes me sick Bella to think you could ever even look at him that way?"
"Jake what are you talking about." He raised his eyebrows at me and shook his head.
"Bella, You do know what I'm talking about! You know as well as I do the legends are more true than I ever thought they could be!" He dropped his eyes to the floor, a look of pain spreading across his face. I'd never been a good lier but I was just going to have to try. "Wait- you don't believe in them silly little kid stories about the wolves and the 'cold ones' do you? Jake we used to make fun of them all the time!" "Bella don't treat me like a fool. Those stories are alot more real than even your precious blood suckers knows".
"Jacob! Edward is not a vampire!"
"You've never been good at lying Bells... Come on lets go for a walk."

We ended up at the beach, sitting on the same spot where he had told me about the same legends that would give me the vital clues that lead me to finding my reason to live. Edward.
I didn't know what to say. Somehow he had realised the truth but I had a job to do- find out how much he knew, "When did you start believing the legends?"
"When I realised all the others where true..." He suddenly had that look of pain on his face again.
"Jake are you ok?" I reached out to try and comfort him but he pulled away.
"No Bella I'm not ok! Because of your precious Cullens my whole life is ruined! I'll never have a normal life because of them. Because of them I'm a monster!"
"I don't understand? The Cullens have never done anything to you, they don't even come on to the reservation"
"You don't understand Bella!"
"Well help me try to understand Jake, let me help"
"You can't help me, No-one can. It's already too late... Remember when we were walking on the beach and I told you the stories right here on this very log?"
"About the 'cold ones' yes of course I do" That was the day I figured out what Edward was, the first day of the rest of my life.
"Why am I not surprised that's the only story you remember" He looked upset again so I forced myself to remember anything else he had told me that day.
"You told me about the other legends... The ones about your tribe"
"Good Bella! Can you remember anything else?"

I tried to come up with something, any piece of information he'd shared that day but my mind was a blank. As soon as he told me what I needed to hear I'd forgotten the rest of our conversation that day. "I'm sorry Jacob. I just can't remember."
"Then I guess I'm wasting my time." In the distance I could hear howling. He turned towards the noise, "Listen Bella you should go. Call me when you've come to your senses and realised that your making a huge mistake with that leech- Bye." And with that he was running down the beach off into the woods. I walked back to Jacob's for my car, trying to take in everything that just happened.
Jake really did believe in the legends of Edward and his family- this was bad news. On top of that he now had a secret involving another legend he'd once told me and it involved the Cullens too.

-o-

I got back in my car, placed my beautiful ring back on my third finger where it belonged and drove back home. Edward was waiting for me in my room. Charlie wasn't back from his trip but it wouldn't be long till he was home. As I entered the room I was immediatly wrapped up in Edward's strong safe arms and I immediatly relaxed.

"Bella are you ok? What happened? When Alice saw you completely disapear I thought- I thought I'd lost you."
I could see and hear the pain in his voice, "Edward what do you mean I disapeared?"
"Well Alice was checking you were ok but when you pulled up at the Black's your whole future just disapeared. It took alot of persuation from Carlisle to stop me from breaking the treaty by going to get you."
I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. "Edward I was fine except... you were right, Jacob believes the legends- he knows what you are. I tried to tell him otherwise but there was no persuading him. All he kept talking about was that it was too late that the legends are all true, that it was your family's fault his life was over?"

He asked me to tell him exactly what happened so I replayed this afternoon the best I could. When I'd finished he sat down on my bed pulling me with him onto his lap. I could tell he was concentrating hard on everything I'd told him so I sat patiently waiting for him to figure out what he ment.

"Bella can you remember anything else he said the day he told you the stories?"
"I've been trying to think the hole way home. But my mind is a complete blank. I was trying to figure by what he went by a monster? He's not a vampire, his skin is much too hot. But he's strong like a vampire... And I know this sounds crazy but right before he left I swear I heard a wolf howling in the forest!"
His head shot up, "Did you say wolf?"
"I know weird right?"
"Bella's that it! The other legend! Think- was the other legend about his tribe being wolves?"
"Wolves? Wolves? Yes that was it! The Quilietes where desendants of wolves!"
"We thought the werewolf gene had died out after the first time we lived he when Ephraim Black was the chief". "Wait. Are you trying to tell me that Jacob... is a wolf?"
"Yes."
"So what, everytime there's a full moon he changes into a wolf?"
"No Bella that's just in stupid horror films. I'm not 100% certain why he changes but from the way he reacted I'm guessing it has something to do with us."
"You think your to blame?"
"No not blame. This has clearly been going on for centuries in his tribe but maybe vampires and werewolves have alot more to do with each other than once thought". "Edward what do you mean?"
"I'm not sure but I think we should inform Carlisle and the rest of the family of the situation, we don't want anything or anyone to cause a fight especially if there are more than just Jacob out there running around as wolves."

-o-

When we arrived back at the house everyone was waiting for us in the dining room. Alice must of had a vision and alerted everyone of the situation. We walked in together hand-in-hand, Esme gave me a small, motherly smile and squeezed my hand as I sat down next to her and Carlisle, Edward stood in front of his family and started to explain the situation in vampire speed, his perfect marble lips moving so fast I could barely make out a single word.

Rosalie was first to respond- outloud, "Great! The mutts are back in town- I was wondering what that awful smell was since you walked through the door!" Edward laughed, "Yes it is rather bad, Bella you may need to take a shower..."
Alice chirped up then,"And you'll have to burn them clothes, but don't worry I'll find you something to wear"
"Wait! What do you mean bad smell? I can't smell anything!" All I could smell was the sea salt from earlier on the beach and my favourite strawberry shampoo.
I could hear Emmette stifiling a laugh as Carlisle tried to explain, "Bella, the Wolves have a particular smell that to any normal person like you-
"Normal! Bella is far from normal, she spends all her time with a family of vampires and is best friends with a wolf!" I shot him a dirty look, Edward growled at him and he soon shut up.
"As I was saying, to anyone else the wolves smell human but to vampires wolves smell strongly of wet dog and its rather bad!"
Edward hugged me then,"It's nothing personal love, I just thought you would feel more comfortable here if we wern't trying to avoid you so not to breathe in the dog smell."
"It's really that bad?" The whole family nodded in unison,"I guess I'll go take a shower then..."

If I'm honest I was glad of the alone time. It gave me time to think things over without having Edward searching my face for hidden thoughts he could never hear. Jacob a wolf! I didn't want to believe it. I always saw Jacob as my way of having a normal life whenever he was around. No danger, no complications, no drama just me hanging out with an old family friend being the old, care free, allways falling over Bella that everyone new in my normal life with Charlie before I was introduced into the secret world of Vampires. I don't regret being in this world, it gave me Edward and whole new family who I couldn't live without and would never dream of doing so but they are two seperate lives for my own Fathers protection, but if these two lives start running into each other someone is going to get hurt or worse- someone is going to get killed...

Once I'd dryed me hair and put on the clothes Alice had left for me instead of the ones that smelled of "dog" I rejoined Edward who was waiting in his room for me. "Better?" I asked, still worried I would smell offensive to him.
"Haha, Yes- much better, you smell like you now." He flashed my favourite crooked grin and pulled me close to him.
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"At one time I would of said bad but know... not so much. Its still very tempting, your blood is still the most amazing thing I've ever smelt but you mean so much more to me than anything else in the world I could never hurt you!"
I smiled and stood on the tips of my toes to reach his perfect lips and kissed him. He kissed me back and I was immediatly lost in are own perfect world forgetting to breathe- again.
He pulled away first, "Breathe my bella."

I took a deep breathe and looked up into his eyes, they were an auburn colour today soon he would have to leave me to hunt but I wouldn't think of that now. he picked me up and placed me down on his white leather couch. I sat there just looking at his perfect features, his hair, his lips, his smile, his eyes. I stroked the purple cicrles under his eyes as he played with a strand of my hair lost in a distant thought. We must of sat like that for hours in this perfect peaceful moment because when I could finally bring myself to look away from him it was dark outside.

"Charlie will be worried about you."
I looked back at him, "I thought you couldn't read my mind?"
He smirked, "Your face is so easy for me to read now, It's written all over your face. I can bet your also wondering what were going to do about the wolves now"
"Well...Actually I was. What's going to happen now?"
"Carlisle is aranging a meeting with their leader to discuss how many wolves there are, the treaty and why they have actually transformed."
"I'm coming with you."
"No. You'll be at home with Charlie or you could go see Angela, If something goes wrong and one of the wolves can't control their temper and it turns into a fight I don't want you anywhere near them! Alice can't see what's going to happen- apparently wolves make the future blind to her she can't see anything when their involved."
"You think it will turn into a fight?"
"We hope not. But young wolves are not very good with control, they are very unstable. We'll be fine don't worry about it, Jasper can keep them calm if needs be."
"Does Carlisle have an idea why they are changing?"
"He thinks it's to protect... when we were hear last the wolves protected Quiliete land from vampires, if any did enter there land they were killed by the pack."
"What do you mean killed? Nothing can kill a vampire apart from another vampire, your too fast, too strong!"
"Correction, nothing can kill a vampire apart from another vampire... and wolves. That is why I don't want you at that meeting."
"What? If they can kill you I'm not staying at home. I would be out of my mind wondering if you would be coming back, If your family would be coming back!"
"It won't come to that, Carlisle wouldn't allow it. We'll be fine! Now come on I best drive you home before Charlie sends out a search party for you."

-o-

That night I dreamt of the meeting. Jacob was there with a couple of lads off the reservation but I couldn't make out their faces. The Cullens were there too but no one could see me. They were arguing and Jacob turned into a big brown wolf, and he ran towards Edward and his family with his teeth barred. I was screaming for him to stop but they couldn't hear me either. Wolf Jacob lunged for Edward and I woke up screaming.
No. I couldn't let this happen. I would not let my reason to live fight my best friend until one was no more. I shuddered at the thought.

I just couldn't get my head around it. A year ago my life had been completely normal just a regular, boring, teenage life but now its like something out of a fairytale full of mystical creatures I never would of believed in my wildest dreams could ever exist other than in bad horror movies. Maybe everything is true! My boyfriends a vampire and my bestfriend turns into a wolf.
I wouldn't be surprised if Angela turned out to be a witch! All I know is I can't let my family get hurt, if something happened to them i would never forgive myself for letting it happen. If Edward won't listen to me I'll have to speak to Jacob again- before the meeting.
