Haylin POV
Stupid family reunions. They're pointless. All we do is stand around play a few games and I have to let old people pinch my cheeks and tell me how "adorable" I am. I'm not freaking adorable! I'm 15 freakishly tall and more of a tomboy than most guys. How is that in any language ADORABLE? Stupid reunions. Ohh well guess I've gotta meet everyone here eventually since Dad's making me come down here for school. Well I guess that is kinda my fault. I shouldn't have gotten in that fight. But hey the idiot pissed me off.
*Flashback*
"Hey Hayley" Simon yelled from behind me. Really? Idiot.
"My name is Haylin, thank you very much." I retorted. You'd think after knowing the kid since Pre-K he'd learn my name by now.
"oh yeah. I forgot." wow he's an idiot. Doesn't surprise me though. When you've got a brain the size of a pop tab you tend to forget a lot.
"Whatever." I turned to open my locker which he proceeded to slam shut.
"Don't whatever me." Is he serious?
"Excuse me muscle man…or should I say lack thereof. I think you should go away now because you're starting to really tick me off."
"Please you're just like your mom. Crawl in the sheets with anything that's got 2 legs and a heartbeat. Nothing but a whore."
With that I snapped. As he turned to laugh with his buddies I brought my fist up and caught his nose right when he turned back. He went to hold his nose leaving his stomach and, other areas open, big mistake buddy. One fist to the stomach and a knee to his manly parts. Well I guess again I should say, or lack thereof.

"Stupid bitch." He managed to choke out.
"Whatever." I went to leave and ran into none other than, yep, the principal. Great.
*End flashback*
If the idiot wouldn't have filed that restraining order I wouldn't have to move in with Aunt Desiree and go the Quileute rez school.
"Dad!" I whined again.
"I don't wanna hear it pal. You know you can't go back there, and no fighting here either." He gave me the 'look' and then laughed and ruffled my hair. "I still have no idea where you learned that. You broke the boy's nose for gosh sakes."
"Uh dad, you taught me that." I couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh yeah," He chuckled, "oops."
Dad's been a single parent since I was 6. That's when mom left for one of her many 'toys', that's what grandma called them. Mom never wanted a family; she hated the idea of a house on the corner, white picket fence, a husband, and kids, yeah all that jazz. Dad called her a 'free spirit' everyone else called her a 'whore'. I agree with everyone else. So, I was raised a Daddy's girl. The month after mom left, Dad took me to my first football game. At first I went just to make him happy, but after awhile I loved it. I was Daddy's little tomboy. Being how I am is sometimes great, other times not so much. I have more guy friends than girls, too much drama with girls. However having so many guy friends and being my mother's daughter, hanging around so many guys gets one hell of a reputation, and not a good one. Dad really shouldn't have been surprised about the fight. He's heard how everyone acts. It was only a matter of time. That's why he taught me to fight, so I could defend myself if need be. I was brought out of my thoughts by dad's 'subtle' cough.
"What's up pal?"
"Just thinking about…cousin Sam." I covered, pretty well actually.
"You haven't talked about him for awhile. What's on your mind?"
"Well he's the only cousin that I get along with and that I actually like to spend time with. But Aunt Desiree said that he's engaged now and all he does is spend time with Emily, his friends, and their girlfriends. What if he doesn't wanna spend time with me?" Okay so I wasn't completely lying. I really was worried Sam wouldn't like me anymore.
"Pal," Dad always called me that, " That's not gonna happen, Sam will still love hanging out with his favorite cousin"
I just kinda laughed. Dad was right, everything would be fine.
"Here we are." by the time we got to the house Aunt Desiree was already on the porch. When I stepped out of the car she came and hugged me.
"I'm so glad you're here sweetie, I missed you." she continued hugging me.
"I missed you too Auntie." I smiled, "So where's Sam?"
"Not sure. I'll call Emily and see if he's at the house."
I went upstairs and put my things in the guest room while she called Emily. She was just hanging up when I came down the stairs.
"So is he coming over?"
"No honey, I'm sorry, he had to go out with some friends for a while, but he'll be back tonight for dinner."
"So he couldn't come see his cousin that he hasn't seen in a year, he'd rather be with friends?"
"Awh, sweetie I'm sure there was an emergency or something came up that he had to take care of." I stopped her there.
"Whatever, I'm going to my room." I turned to leave when dad caught my arm. Huh?
"Haylin Amelia Uley," Woah he never uses my full name, "that was uncalled for, apologize to your aunt right now."
I don't know what happened but for the first time I yelled at my dad.
"NO! Why should I?"
"Go to your room!" And then somehow that teenage defiance kicked in yet again.
"NO!" I yelled back at him as I stormed out the door and into the woods. Why was I so mad? Every girl fights with her dad. Not me though; I've never fought with him.
"I hate this!" I slammed my fist into the nearest tree, surprisingly not breaking my hand in the process. "I hate him!" Tree punch #2 still didn't break anything. Punch #3 was interrupted my the footsteps and the voice that came with the.
"Excuse me?" his voice sounded shy, and I didn't wanna deal with this right now.
"What!" I turned to face him and put both hands of my hips.
"Haylin Uley, correct?" I nodded and he continued, "My name's Collin. I'm a friend of Sam's. Are you okay?" Mr. polite and formal was really ticking me off.
"Why the hell does it matter to you? I don't know you, you don't know me, so why don't you just go back the way you came and leave me the hell alone." Okay I know I was mad but I shouldn't have taken it out on this kid…he was being really nice, and I was being a jerk.
"Maybe I could walk you back to your home?" And that's what did it. That's all it took to set me off. I was mad and shaking.
"THAT. IS. NOT. MY. HOME!" I screamed and exploded, literally…kinda. I heard my clothes shredding and my body suddenly felt weird and it hurt. I went to scream again but all that came out was a howl.
What the heck. Did I just howl?
Haylin its okay. Just please calm down. I heard the voice but it was like it was in my head.
Who's there? I looked around, up, down - PAWS! What the hell? I have paws?
It's me Collin and yes you have paws. I looked to where the 'voice' came from and saw a giant black and gray wolf.
Ahhhhhh!
Don't be scared. It's okay. You have to calm down.
That's when another 'voice' joined the conversation.
Collin what's going on who phased? Wait a sec that sounds like Sam.
Sam? I said looking around for him.
Haylin is that you?
Yeah Sam its me. Where are you?
I'm a few miles away. Jake can you and Collin help Haylin. Then take her to Emily's and wait til I get there.
Sure thing Sam. The 'voice' whom I'm guessing belonged to Jake said.
Geesh I've heard of 'voices in your head' and all but this is ridiculous. I thought. All 3 of them laughed and Collin started to speak again.
Okay Haylin. You need to relax if you want to change back. Just think human, think about being human and acting human and you'll be able to change back. Relax. I'm gonna turn around. There's a blanket on the tree branch behind you.
Why do I need that? I was confused.
You…uhhhh….shredded your clothes. You need something to…um….cover yourself.
Oh. I said and began to do what he said. I could feel myself changing and it must have been working because he turned around. Once I was back on two legs I grabbed the blanket and pulled it around myself.
"Thank you." I said petting the wolf
"Haylin?" I turned and saw another guy. He was tall, about 6ft. Pretty well built. Tan. Dark hair, brown eyes kinda deal. Normally I'd be concerned but he pretty much radiated this brother-like protectiveness that made me feel safe.
"Yes?"
"My name's Jacob, Jake. Sam asked me to come."
"You're a friend of Sam's?"
"Yes ma'am. A very close friend."
I nodded not entirely sure what to say. Suddenly it all came crashing down and completely overwhelmed I fell to the ground and started to cry. Jake came over and sat down next to me putting his arms around my shoulders as I just sat and cried. I must've fallen asleep because I woke up in a strange room. I rolled over on the bed and noticed a pile of clothes on the night stand, and a note.

These are Emily's but they should fit just fine. Go ahead and get dressed, then come downstairs.

Love, Sam.

I put on the clothes and to my surprise they did fit. I walked out of the room and took in a big breath and caught a whiff of food. As if on command my stomach growled so I walked downstairs. The kitchen was filled with people. There had to be almost 10 or 15 people. I found Sam pretty quickly.
"Sam?" I said, scared about what was going on and that Sam didn't want me around anymore, my voice sounded like a little kid.
"Haylin, sweetie, I'm so sorry." he said and game me a huge hug.
"What's going on? What happened? What's wrong with me?" I felt like crying again.
"Nothing is wrong with you. Just come with me, I'll explain everything."
"Dad?" he was probably wondering where I was by now.
"I called him and told him you were going to hang out with us here for awhile. Oh, I'm Emily by the way." Sam's fiancée introduced herself.
"Haylin," I said, "nice to meet you." She nodded and Sam motioned to a door that led to the back porch.
"Sam what's going on?"
"Haylin, we have a lot to talk about."
And we did. We sat there for almost 2 hours as he explained everything, how we were descendants of the Taha Aki, how everything with the vampires happened, the Cullens, Victoria, and the newborn army. He explained it all.
"Do you have any questions?" he asked.
"I can't tell Dad?"
"No, no one but the council and the others in the pack are allowed to know."
"And Bella, the vampires, and imprints." The imprint thing I still didn't quite understand but I'd save those questions for later.
"That's right. Anything else?"
"What do you do now? Since the newborns and Victoria are gone?"
"Just patrol and keep an eye out for nomads that could pose a threat."
"So for now its all safe?"
"Yep."
"Good." I sighed with relief.
"I'm sorry about all this Hay. Once we knew that girls could phase too I checked in on you to make sure you didn't have any of the signs. That was 2 months ago though so I probably should've checked more than once."
"I'm guessing anger issues are a sign?" I laughed and he nodded, "Well that explains a lot."
"What do you mean?" he seemed confused.
"Did you know I'm moving in with Aunt Desiree? Or why?"
"Uh no, why?"
"Broke a guys nose, and decreased his chances of having children."
Sam laughed, "Ouch, What'd he do?"
"Said I was just like mom." I dropped my head. Sam knew what I meant by that. No explanation needed.
"Well if we can get mom and Uncle David to agree I think you should live with us. That way Em and I can help you and you don't have to worry about hiding all this. Would that be okay?"
"Sure. Sounds like a good idea." It did actually. I wasn't a very good liar.
"So you wanna meet the rest of the pack?" he gladly changed the subject.
"Yeah?" I was actually kind of excited to meet my 'brothers' and the other girl wolf, Leah.
"Okay let's go. He stood up off the porch and grabbed my hand to help me up and we walked into the kitchen with the pack and their imprints.
"Everyone this is Haylin. Haylin this is Emily my fiancée and imprint. Quil and Claire, Jared and Kim, Paul and Rachael, and Vanessa, Jake's imprint. He and Seth had to go to the Cullen's. Then we have Leah, Embry, Brady, and you already met Collin."
I said 'hi' to everyone and they all said 'hey' back. Other than Leah that is.
"So this is the new girl." Oh no I hope she doesn't hate me already. "It's nice to meet you Haylin." She smiled and gave me a hug, which I gladly returned, thankful that she didn't hate me.

Collin POV
She snapped, she completely snapped. After Sam's cousin, Haylin, phased back; Jake said about 2 sentences to her and she cracked. She fell to the ground and started crying. Jake went over and tried to calm her down but it was no use, she just kept crying. I phased back to tell Sam what was going on. He said it would be fine and Jake could handle it. I hope he's right. By the time I phased back again Haylin had fallen asleep and Jake was carrying her to Emily's. We were almost there when Jake stopped dead in his tracks.
"Uh Collin, can you take Haylin to Emily's and lay her on one of the beds so she can sleep?"
"Yeah, sure. What's up?"
"Nothing. Just tell Em to call Sam's mom and tell her that Haylin is gonna hang out with Sam and everyone for today. Oh and ask Em to get her some clothes. Sam'll be back soon."
"Okay" He handed her over to me making sure to keep the blanket covering her and making sure she didn't wake up. I didn't question him any further. I just did what he said.
