Chapter 4

I walked over to the beach and sighed. I saw the La Push boys watching me curiously. I rubbed my temples. I can't handle all this crap happening. I just need to relax. I felt my body jerk upright and I was pulled into a vision. I felt my glaze over and my body stiffen.

"Well, Mrs. McDaniel, you are indeed pregnant." Said a women in a white lab coat.

"How far along?" She asked with a worried expression.

"About 4 months." He said simply.

"Wow." She said aloud. "What will Mia think?" She whispered.

"Well, the baby is healthy." The women said happily. Lizzie nodded mutely. Then it was over.

I was pulled out of the premonition. I looked around and saw all the La Push guys watching me closely.

"What the hell was that?" Jake asked with frustration.

"Nothing…just day dreaming." I lied easily. I could tell they don't believe me.

"Okay?" Sam said. I saw them all fidget and it is annoying me to no end.

"What?" I asked with a sigh.

"We need to talk to you." Sam said.

"Fine, shoot." I said carefully,

"Well, we need to tell you something." I heard Jake say as he came over and sat next to me. I felt the heat rolling off of him.

"Okay?" I asked suspiciously.

"Well, this is a secret, a life or death secret, we are werewolves." Sam said bluntly. I jumped up and kneeled into a crouch. I didn't even think before it happened. How…I mean they don't seem like children of the moon. They are usually mean hateful disgusting creatures that everyone loathes. I have only seen them from a distance, but I know what they do. They live for the kill, and nothing short of that.

"Don't worry, we protect humans, not hurt them." I still stayed in my position. Sam was trying to calm me down. I just looked at Jake…how can such a beautiful person…with the most amazing eyes…Snap out of it!!!!!!! I need to focus…they are dangerous. I can't take this lightly.

"You are children of the moon, you are all dangerous." I spat. I saw Jake looked pain. It pained me too.

"No, we are not, we are just protectors." I could feel the honesty coming off of Sam in tons. I slowly came out of my crouch. I still stayed in survival mode. I looked at everyone and sighed.

"Sorry." I mumbled as I sat back down. I still felt uneasy. I mean now I have to deal with werewolves and vampires all in one town??!?!? How much can such a young kid take? I mean yeah I am 15 and I may look younger than I am, but still.

"We won't explain it all right now, but we have an…effect. As werewolves, we sometimes imprint. When we imprint, we find our soul mate. It is like love at first sight, but a hell of a lot stronger." Sam explained.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked. It shocked how they say they need it to be secret, when they all seem so easy about this. I mean I would never tell anyone about me unless Nyx wants me too, like Bella. She is supposed to know…like I know about vampires. I have to know everything about her, to protect her.

"Well, someone imprinted on you." My eyes darkened when I felt Jake shift next to me. I felt my eyes completely go black, as they all gasped.

"Can you undo it?" I asked seriously.

"No." Sam said carefully. A werewolf and a witch? Yeah, right…funny joke. 'They speak the truth daughter. You may tell them now, they will protect you.' My goddess whispered to me. I growled. I saw the La Push boys look confused. I only shook my head. 'no' I thought back. 'No more people can know. I have already disobeyed you.' I thought again.

'daughter, they are my children too, they can know, please tell them for me.' My goddess whispered to me. I growled louder but sighed. How can she trust them so easily? I mean I barely trust myself to know, but yet she wants others to know. I just want stay how I was…quiet and dangerous. I want to be able to protect my family and not have to worry about anyone else, but of course I do not regret getting Bella as a task. I wanted to help me kept busy in my spare time. So, I don't do anything I will regret. I mean yeah trying to discover other creatures is kind of fun…but it is often dangerous. The Volturi already know I know…and exist. They wanted to turn me…but I refused. I told them if they dared to come near me…I would kill them all…and I did kill one . I regret it so…but I needed to. They came after me. I had to protect myself. And in the process I was almost killed. I killed one of their mates…but I don't remember which one. The only thing I remember was Jane trying to kill me. Of course I burned her arm almost right off, and she was there for scared of me. And because none of their powers work. It almost makes me laugh how immature they were. I mean Alec was the only I refused to kill. I would have kept him alive. He seems nice enough. He did try to make me his mate though…that was hilarious. Aro tried to force me into it, but I was better…quicker than them. It still haunts me how lethal I was that day. I killed without mercy. And I didn't care. I sighed. I really wish Nyx would just kill me now. Well, she asked me to tell them and I have to do anything for my goddess.

"I need to tell you something." I said carefully. I saw them nod. Kill me now.

"Well first, my family is allowed to know about you. I have already kept to many secrets. Second, well……………I don't really know how to say this……..but well I am a Wicca." I said carefully. It was silent when everyone burst into laughter. My anger boiled over and my eyes turned pitch black. I felt my hands heating up. I let it go, I saw the fire explode from my hands to the sky. It went a good hundred feet. I saw them stop and look at me. I let the fire vanish and my eyes went back to normal.

"See, I am." I said. "And plus, I am a protector too, I protect mankind. I am Nyx's daughter."

"We…I….how?" Sam stuttered.

"I'm am very good with my powers." I said easily. I saw them stiffen. "Don't you dare." I yelled. I knew they were gonna attack. They looked at me with a confused expression.

"I can read minds too…." I said easily. They just starred at me with weird expressions.

"Well, hell, another mind reader." Jake sighed. I just laughed. When I turned to look at Jake, I froze, he still has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I sighed. This is so weird. I would rather be put in a bin of toxic waste, rather than deal with this. Why can't I just get on with my life, maybe if I tried terminating myself…it would be less of a pain…no one would miss me. 'My daughter, this is not the answer. Bella is going to need your help, and Jacob is very fond of you…almost smitten.' My goddess whispered in my mind. 'Why me? Why am I so challenged. I don't deserve this…I have disobeyed you. I can't let them be hurt for me. And no one would miss me…the wolves can take care of Bella…or maybe I can just leave. My family can live in peace…and I can just…just' I really don't know what I would do. I don't want to leave my family. I guess it was a stupid thought. I just want to give my family the life they deserve. 'You know what you must do…Bella needs you…and you will have someone else to protect in your future.' I heard someone say in my head. I knew it was Nyx, but whom else? Not another task. I know that. Urg, this is so confusing!

"A witch and a wolf…that's new." I whispered to myself, smiling slightly. I guess I have a long life and a lot of shit mixed in. But why was Jake thrown into this mess. This is beyond his knowledge, and maturity.

"I guess." Jake chuckled. I felt my phone vibrate again. I looked at the caller id. It is Chels again. I sighed and flipped it open.

"What?" I asked angrily. Why did she call now? I mean why did she even bother?

"I want to apologize, I don't want to break up. I was just mad." Chels said sadly. I heard someone in the back round and I heard kissing noises.

"Well, I'm sorry, but we are over. I found someone else." I sighed. I did…sort of. I mean she has the ho-bag in the back round…and I have Jake…I guess.

"Who?!?" She yelled in the phone. I almost laughed that now she cares. She never gave a shit, she wanted everyone she could get…and she was always protective over me.

"This guy-." I was cut off.

"So, you left me for a guy?!?" she yelled. I laughed again. She left me for a guy too. Why does she care now? 'Danger.' My goddess said. What? What danger? Why was Chels in danger? I mean she knows nothing about anything. She can't be in danger. Maybe she is with me? Maybe we have to be over. To keep her safe.

"Yeah, but at least he isn't a whore." I said as I slammed the phone shut. I saw them watching me. I sighed. It really hurts making Chels sad. She deserves better, and she doesn't need me. She is in danger with me. I already had someone die because of me.

"I'm bi, no biggie." I said with a laugh. I saw them laugh nervously. I put my hand through my long thick black hair, nervously. I started playing with the ends of my hair, which reach a little below my belt.

"So, are we going to your house?" I asked carefully. I saw Jake's eyes brighten and I felt myself smile.

"Yes." Jake said a little too eagerly. I saw the hope in his eyes as we got up/

"Be safe." Sam muttered as we started walking. I felt awkward being alone with a boy. I have never really been away from my family. It feels weird, really weird. I have only been alone with Chels. It is different though. He is going to change my whole world. I want to stay with my family. But now…he is family.

"So…" he said breaking the silence. "What is going to happen now?"

"I don't know, but well, listen. I don't know if this can lead to anything. I mean this isn't what I was born for. I was born for protection. I can't have my own life. I just need to protect Bella and my family."

"Bella?" he asked.

"Yeah, she is my task. I have to protect her until I die." I muttered.

"Wait! Listen, this is a sign that you work too hard." He said. "You need a life, I mean your family can't be that hard to protect."

"No, this is a punishment, I was a horrible girlfriend, I was a horrible sister, and now this is punishment." I muttered. I knew this was the complete opposite, Nyx said herself, well in my head, since I am her eyes and ears and can hear her, that this is not a bad thing.

"No, this is a gift, do you know how worried I was that I was never going to imprint." He said while stroking my cheek. I leaned my head into his touch. It felt so warm. It almost burned, but I don't care. I felt so right with him. It feels like the best thing that has ever happened. I just want to stay with him forever. I have never before wished that I was just normal Mia, with no powers, no goddess, just normal boring me, until now. I mean I have always loved my goddess, I still do. And I am happy I have her in my life. That she loves me enough to gift me tremendously. But I have a long was to go, and I never want to change my life, no matter how shitty it is. I like having responsibility. I am nowhere near a trained Wicca, I don't even have the tattoos on my legs. (I know this is kind like Marked, but I love both series so much that I wanted to do both. Of course this is all Twilight with just the powers, tattoos, and goddess the same as Marked.)

"I'm sorry, but I can't slack on my duty, this is something that…needs to be taken heavily." I explained. "I don't regret it though."

"I-I" he stuttered.

"I just…I don't know what this is really about…my goddess….she tells me to lighten on myself…to have a life…but my job to protect…not to have fun, I want to make her proud…I just…well I don't want to be hurt again…it will be hard to focus on my family when I have an imprint to worry about." I explained.

"Well, I think you should have a life…with me." He whispered the last part.

"I don't know how to do that…what if I mess up…and you won't want me….I can't deal with that." I said carefully.

"You won't mess up." He said as he stopped walking. We arrived at the cutest little red house. I saw the whole house was completely dark.

"My dad went over to Charlie's house for the game, he might stay the night…something about car trouble. I don't know… I just know he is not there." Jake said easily. I felt a jolt go through me when he said Charlie. My goddess pulled me into a premonition.

I saw glowing red eyes. I heard the bushes rustle. I saw Edward along with Bella…and a man walking with them. I saw his curly hair…and his mustache…I saw the eyes. They are a crimson, along with an orange tint. It is Charlie.

I was pulled out by Jake shaking my arm and talking firmly for me to wake up. I just looked into his eyes and everything melted.

"What was that?!?" He screamed for an explanation. I just looked at him, I was about to explain but I felt my stomach twist, telling me to shut it. I just looked him dead in the eye and pleaded with my eyes to let me explain later. He didn't get it though. I sighed. 'The future is a secret thing, we can't change this, at least not the Charlie thing. We will wait until the time is right. Then we will explain, but it will happen, there are no other futures.' Nyx's words rang through my head. NO! Charlie won't be damned to that life!!!!! I may in the future have to be sentenced to it, for Bella, but not him!!

"I was just zoning out." I lied with complete nervousness.

"Yeah, I bet." He said with a frown. "Come on." He said as he pulled me to the house. I just laughed and ran after him. We ran swiftly to the house and ran in. He turned on every light in the house. But I just focused on my telekinesis and shut every one of them off, except the one in his room, and the living room. He sighed and sat on the couch. He pulled me to his side. I kept fidgeting, I know because I could see Jake watching me amused. I know it's because of the Charlie thing. I mean what the hell!! He has no reason to have o be a vampire!!! I keep fidgeting. I sighed and walked over to the mantle. I saw a picture of two girls, they were hugging along with a little boy in their lap. I could instantly tell the little boy is Jake. But his hair is longer in the picture. I sighed as I looked at him. He has a small head of hair, along with bed head.

"Your sisters are hot." I joked. I was never the one for commenting on people, but I felt the urged to mess with him.

"Yeah, that is a great thing to hear from my imprint." He laughed as he got up and looked at the picture.

"That is Rachel and that is Rebecca." He said as he pointed to them. I just nodded.

"I had a cousin Becca." I said carefully.

"Had?" He said with a frown. I don't really know why I brought it up. I mean she is not what she used to be…literally. She was changed years back…by none other than the Volturi. She is Alec's mate or Felix or something like that. I haven't seen her since. I refuse to. She went to them…after I told her not to. She came over one day to spend the night. It was after I started developing my powers. I told her not to come, but she did. I met her downtown. We were walking into a food store, to buy a late dinner, when she ran off. She was laughing, but I searched for her, knowing she would get hurt. I saw one glimpse of her, she was being held by Aro. He had disappeared before I could save her. I tried calling her, but she never calls me back. So, she is not my cousin anymore.

"Yeah, she…died." I lied. But, he doesn't need to know.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"S'okay. Never really was that close with her." I muttered.

"If it helps, I know what it feels like to loose someone. I lost my mother years back." He said with one tear. I ran over and hugged him, not knowing how to comfort him.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered.

"It's fine, I dealt with it. So….How are you feeling?" He changed the subject.

"I'm fine, why?" I asked.

"Well, you hit your head remember?" He laughed.

"Oh, yeah, it's fine." I said truthfully.

"Glad to hear it." He said easily. From there we talked aimlessly, just asking about all different kinds of interests and stuff like that.

"So, what's is your favorite color?" He asked.

"Gray, what about you?" I asked.

"Red." He laughed.

"What's wrong favorite kind of car?" I asked.

"78' Camero. What's yours?" He asked.

"1957 Ferrari, mint condition. The best car I have ever gotten." I said with a smile.

"You own it?!? How many cars do you own?" He asked with a smile that rang curiosity.

"A lot, I like old cars though. I got the obsession from my old Tech Ed teacher. You can use one if you want. We have plenty." I said happily.

"Really??! I would love to!!" He said with a big smile.

"So, how old are you?" I asked with a sight smile.

"I just turned 17." (just got with it.) He said.

"Oh." I said kind simply.

"How old are you?" He asked.

"Well, I just turned 15." I sighed.

"You look older than that." He said with a goofy smile.

"Well, we age quicker than normal. My ancestors were Wicca's and now I am, so it runs in my blood. The only down side is that we will die faster." I flinched. Of course I might not die at all, I might be turned into a vampire, so I can protect my task for all eternity. I added mentally.

"That sucks." I had the longing to tell him about the vampire problem.

"What about you? You seem a lot older than 17." I mummered.

"Well, we get a major growth spurt, and we kind don't age." He said quickly. So, I get him forever?!?!?

"Well, convenient." I whispered.

"What?" He asked. 'Go ahead daughter, you can tell him, it is a meant to be. He will find out sooner or later…unless you decide different.' My goddess and motherly figure's voice whispered in my mind. I sighed.

"Jacob…I have to tell you something." I took a breather. "Well, listen, Nyx works in mysterious ways, and well she brought me to Bella because Bella is in danger, it isn't immediate, but still. The task is like an imprint almost, like I mean it is immediate, but not in the love, more of protection. Or a bonding. It is really hard to deal with, but it challenges you. But anyways, like I said Nyx works in mysterious ways, she led me to Bella, because she needed me to do something. It is up to me, if I really decide to go through with it, but Nyx took me under her wing, when I needed it most. She gave me the ability to stay alive, but she led me to Bella, so she could lead me to the Cullens…the vampires. She wants me to live forever to protect Bella. Of Course, she is letting me make my own choice, but wants me to consider it, my job is never completed. And if I live forever I will still be able to worship her, but she wants Bella protected, and I need to make the decision, when Bella does." I explained in one breath.

"What?!?" Jake almost yelled.

"I need to become a vampire, to save Bella." I explained. I saw pain and longing in his eyes. "It may not be for years though. As long as I be careful with my powers. I can age slower, but it will eventually kill me. I have thought about it, and made no decision, other than that if I do change, it won't be until a couple of years, or about a year at least."

"I-I, um, why?" He asked in an unsure voice.

"'Cause it will be easier to be there for Bella, when I don't have to worry about dying ever second of my life." I sighed as I thought about the Volturi and my old coven. I thought about all the dark magic I used to do. And how I worshiped Mano for a while.(I know I watch way to many old movies. Hehe.) Before Jake could say anything else I felt my phone vibrate. It is Lizzie.

"Hello?" I asked worryingly.

"Hey, whatcha doin?" She asked.

"Just talking with Jake." I said in her tone of voice too. She always acted like a kid it made me laugh.

"Well, come on home. It is getting late. You can play with your boy toy tomorrow." She laughed. I just growled lowly, but put a nervous laugh.

"Fine." I sighed.

"Bye, ditzy." She said with a laugh and she hung up. I jumped up and sighed.

"Well, this has been educational, but I need to get home." I sighed.

"When can you come back?" He asked.

"I don't know. I have to protect my family remember." I sighed internally.

"Well, maybe I can stop by tomorrow." He said semi-happily.

"Sure I guess." I sighed.

"'Kay. Well bye." I said as gave him an awkward one arm hug and teleported back to my room. I sighed and fell right on my bed and passed out.
