A/N: This was a challenge given to me by Aunt Bell so this is dedicated to her and her weird mind for wanting this :P

Pairing: Nahuel/Bella

Summary: Bella finds herself in South America, near the Amazon to be exact. She finds more than what she expected when she has to run for her safety, finding out about vampires was one thing, werewolves for another, but what happens when she finds out about Half Breeds and finds Nahuel... Will he help her or will he leave her? Ra:M

Disclaimer: I do not own anything twilight related.

Previously,
And what about Serena, is what she said true? Did my sister see what our father truly was like and looking for me to tell me as such? It doesn't matter now, it isn't important, what is, is protecting that woman inside my cabin from the fate my mother and others have been victims too.

"I know… because I won't allow it" I utter fiercely to my waiting aunt.

"Good, now let's go see how that little lady is… and to find out her name" she chuckles out, stunning me, yes, I have yet to learn her name. With a swift nod I follow her back to the cabin, back to the woman I will protect with my very last breath.

Bella POV

I continued to look out the door where Huilen had chased after her nephew. I could hear the splintering of wood along with roars of anger.

Why is it always me? Leah had laughed when she told me I was the only one who could find the werewolves when the vampires left, that I was a supernatural magnet and they all just gravitated towards me. I laughed with her, knowing it was true, but I didn't think that dhampir's could exist.

Could I handle another supernatural creature in my life? Could I risk what is left of my sanity to find friendship with Nahuel and his aunt?
My heart clenched at the very thought of leaving them, which worried and confused me.

I began to think of Nahuel's story about his father, about why he thought of himself as a monster, but I couldn't see it. I couldn't see him as a monster, he was only a baby at the time and sure he could remember everything, but he was still just a baby.

With a sigh I close my eyes, hoping that I could get some sleep, or better yet to forget about this all. A sob catches in my chest, choking me as the tears spill over, I knew I would never see my family ever again, I wouldn't see home once more. No I was here, in the Amazon, with a male vampire wanting me for my womb.

"Are you okay?" my eyes snap open at Nahuel's concerned voice, his eyes looking at me with sadness.

I shook my head, my sobs growing as I cry out my sorrows. I felt him embrace me, slightly cooler than my own but still warm. He smelled of home, oncoming rain and the forest.

"Shh, I will never let anyone hurt you Bella, I promise" he coo's to me, causing my cries to grow louder as the words cut through me, I struggle to free myself from his grasp, a little because of his strength, another because I just really didn't want to leave his arms.

"NO! So many people have uttered those words to me, just as sincere sounding as you, but they always hurt me! THEY ALWAYS LEAVE ME!" I scream at the end, my hands flying up as I cry. His eyes were wide, his face masked in shock, but I saw the anger welling in them. With fear I look away, knowing he was mad at what I had said.

"I am not like them! I keep my word, I will not hurt you, and you will just have to trust me!" he snarls out frustrated.

"Trust you? TRUST YOU? I don't know you! I've had bad experiences with Vampires…" I inform him.

"I'm HALF a vampire" he snarls, standing.

"STILL A VAMPIRE! And your aunt is one TOO!" I scream at him, my hands flying up in the air.

"You trusted my sister!" he huffs out, plonking back on the bed.

"That was because I didn't know she was a half breed!" I seethe.

"DHAPMIR" he sighs out exasperated.

"SAME THING" I scream.

"You are a stubborn girl; you will just have to trust me! I don't want to see you dead and lifeless as a child rips itself from your womb" he finishes off softly, his eyes looking away, I could understand the pain of the thought but why is he so worried about me?

"Why do you care so much?" I ask him, his eyes shooting to me quickly and then away once more.

"As I said… I don't want you to end up like my mother did, no one deserves that" he chokes out.

"That doesn't answer my question Nahuel!" I sigh out once more frustrated.

"It should be good enough for now," that pissed me off more.

"Fuck, I swear it must be a vampiric trait to dictate another's life. I'm sick of being told what is and isn't good for me, or something I shouldn't know when it has something to do about me!" I seeth, flinching back as his eyes glinted red ever so slightly.

Whipping around when a tinkle like laughter echoed the room. My eyes narrow onto Huilen who was leaning against the door.

"What is so funny?" I ask her, frustrated.

"You are fighting like a couple… You both are very well suited… You are a good mate to my nephew." She giggles out, shocking the fuck out of me.

"Excuse the fuck out of me? His WHAT?" I spat out, shocking her and causing Nahuel to sigh out.

"I wasn't going to tell her yet, for obvious reasons." He sighs once more.

"No, I've fucking had it with your kind. The last vampire I was with, you know the one who screwed me over? Yeah, well he thought I was his mate too, but fuck that was so wrong." I hiss, storming past Huilen and out the door.

"Where are you going?" I hear him ask worriedly as I continue to walk.

"Away from this fuckery, DO NOT FOLLOW ME!" I answer and just kept walking, not caring where I was going.

~XxX~

I screamed to the sky, scaring off a few birds as I kicked a rock, the same rock I have passed at least 5 fucking times in the past 3 hours.

With a huff I plop down on a fallen log and grab a stick, drawing doodles in the dirt wondering how the fuck I got myself into this mess.

I swear that god, if there is even a god, is looking down at me laughing his ass off at my miserable life. Fate is a cruel mistress and I wish that I could meet the cruel being; I would surely have a few choice words, or well, shove whatever decides fate so far up her…

I whip my head to the left as a cracking noise echoes the rainforest, sure that sound would be normal, but not that loud.

Standing quickly from my spot I look around wildly, hoping to fuck it's not some wild animal.

"Hello? Who's there?" I call out and then instantly slapping my forehead.

"Idiot, why don't you just call attention to yourself Bella" I mutter under my breath to myself.

"There you are, you know walking in circles made it hard for me to find you?" a scream escaped my lips as Nahuel appears out of nowhere.

"Sweet lord, don't do that!" I hiss at him, my hand on my chest over my beating heart.

He looks down sheepishly, "sorry"

"And so you should be!" I scold him, sitting back down on the log.

"Are you still angry?" he asks me, I had to think for a second before shaking my head.

"No… just so tired" I sigh out.

"You want to talk about it?" he asks softly, sitting next to me, his body turned.

"Am I really your mate?" I ask softly, looking down at my feet.

He stayed silent for so long, a feeling of dread and shame welled in my stomach and I felt the tears prickle my eyes, his hand slightly cold yet so warm caress my chin ever so softly and lift it so I was looking into his eyes. I didn't even see him move in front of me, but then again he is part vampire.

"You really are my mate, the moment you touched my arm. A spark and a sensation of warmth and elation surged through my body indicating it was true, at first I was wary, you were a human, a strange beautiful human standing in front of me, and eyes of the richest chocolate and specks of the purest gold, so full of emotion. I knew then that you were it for me, don't be mistaken, I don't love you, I don't believe in love at first sight, love is a gift that has to be earned" he tells me, his teak eyes twinkling with so much honesty I couldn't help but cry a little.

"But there you were, a woman I have been waiting my short existence for and what would you know, she was trying to save me from my aunt!" he jokes causing me to giggle while he wipes away my tears.

"I hope that I haven't messed everything to prevent us from knowing each other, I know you have been hurt by so many supernatural creatures and I know you are wary, and to be honest so am I. I'm not perfect Bella, I'm stubborn, I can be a complete jerk at most times, I can't promise that I will never mess up because let's face it, we are bound to make a mistake every once and a while, but I will promise you here and now, that I will never EVER hurt you" he tells me and I throw myself into his arms and hug him, sending him falling backwards with my impact.

"Thank you, you have no idea how much hearing that means to me" I whisper and pull back, blushing slightly as I realised that I was practically lying on top of him. He chuckles and helps me up off the forest floor.

"So shall we start over again and get to know each other" he asks me. "Hello, my names Nahuel and I'm a dhampir" he tells me with a chuckle sticking his hand out for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Isabella, but everyone calls me Bella." I said with a giggle, grasping his hand in mine.

The same electric spark jolts through me, warming me to the very core and as I looked into his warm teak eyes the sun shone down on us, illuminating us in its warmth. His body glowed what seemed from the inside, my breath hitched, he looked beautiful.

But this right now, I knew right then that my life has changed and that the future doesn't look so dreary and lonesome anymore.

A/N: sorry this is so short guys, I have been on writers block for quite some time.
