Bella Pov.

As I had said, I drove straight to La Push, straight to Jakes house. Yet I'm still sitting in my Truck staring out the window, trying to gain the courage to get out and face the unknown head on. 'Come on Bella! You can do this. If you can survive a Vampire biting you, then this should be a piece of cake!'

Taking a deep breath I opened the car door and jumped out. As I'm walking slowly to the front door of the blacks I ignore the feeling anxiety that bubbles deep in my stomach, before I knew it I reached the front door and closed my eyes. My hand reached up and knocked on the door.

Opening my eyes as I heard the door crack open slightly I saw none other than Billy Black. He was wearing a frown as he stared at me uncertain.

"Bella." He acknowledged, nodding his head slightly.

"Billy." I responded, averting my eyes. "Is Jake home?" I ask, trying to find any sign of life in the tiny house.

"I thought I told you not to come here anymore." He stated ignoring the question. Closing my eyes slightly at the tone of his monotone voice. 'Come on Bella. You can do this. You can do this. You're starting to get better. You are better than this.' My mind chanted. A picture of Charlie flashed through my mind, then Mom, my friends Angela and Lucas. My eyes snapped open, a sense of courage welcoming me.

"Is Jake home?" I ask again, surprised at the sternness in my voice. Apparently I must have surprised Billy to because his eyes widened just a little bit. But it ended just as fast as the glare returned to his face.

"No he's not his with his friends." He stated. Lie. I am so sick of people lying to me.

The next thing I know I'm shoving past Billy into the house," Sorry Billy, but I really need to see him."

I opened the door that lead to Jakes room. Ready to demand an answer I stopped myself. There he was on his now to-tiny bed, feet hanging over the end of it, his arms sprawled of the bed touching the floor, as he is snoring away. He looks exhausted. As I was examining him, I noticed figures walking out of the corner of my eye. I looked up only to see Sam's cult walking in what seemed to be their uniform; just a pair of cutoffs, they all could pass for brothers. Anger made itself known and I stormed out of the house toward them, ignoring Billy's protests.

"What did you do?!" I yelled at them. "What did you do to Jake?!"

"What did he tell you!?" One of the brothers snarled back at me.

"He tells me nothing! All because he's to scared of you!" I yelled. He laughs! The Fuckers laughing at me!

I don't know what came over me put my hand became a fist and it connected with his cheek. I punched him. And now he's shaking and growling…what the hell are they?

"Bella get back!" Sam demands," Paul calm down!" He orders the other guy that's shaking.

I freeze for a moment. I see two others one of them being Embry trying to hold Paul back.

"Bella! Get back!" I heard Jakes yell. I look behind me to see him jumping over the reeling of the back porch and run toward us. I look back at Paul and our eyes meet. All of a sudden his shakes increases and I find it in myself to take some big steps backward, when he all of a sudden explodes into a huge wolf. A realization hit me. The tribal legends that Jake told me about!

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by a horrifying growl and see Paul, a now grey horse sized wolf, baring his teeth at me. Then another big glop of fur rams into Paul. A russet colored wolf. I look to find Jacob, but he was nowhere in sight, when I realized the russet wolf is Jacob!

I take a deep breath. If Vampires can exist, so can werewolf's. Wait did that mean it was them killing those hikers? My head was starting to spin a bit but I need to stay awake. I need more answers.

Feeling a hand on my shoulder I turned to see Embry staring at me, a smile crossing his now well defined face.

"Embry, Jared bring Bella back to Em's. I'll handle this." Sam ordered, and the other guy, Jared I guessed since he was the only other face I didn't know, put his hand to his head, as if saluting him.

"Aye aye captain!" He salutes…..way doesn't that surprise me? Maybe it's the way he carries himself? I don't know and I don't know why I'm even thinking about this. I mean Jake and that Paul guy just turned into huge wolves and I'm trying to figure out why this guy is the way he is. Seriously Bella? Get a hold of yourself! Normal people would be running for the hills at this point. Then again Normal has never been one of my qualities.

Embry pulled me out of my thoughts by giving me a slight shove. I looked up at him with a small frown only to get a chuckle as a reply.

"Keys?" He asks me and I just stare at him. Was he asking me to drive my baby or telling me he's going to drive MY baby?

"What?" I ask stubbornly. He sight in frustration.

"Come on Bella, are you seriously trying to tell me that you can drive without thinking too deeply into this situation." He told me. Damn it, he's right. We may not be close friends like me and Jake were, but he has hung around us enough to know that I ignore the world around me when I'm stressed.

I sight, "Fine, but if anything happens to my baby you'll wake up bald." I threaten. Embry just smirks at me like it was an empty threat and gets in the car and go to the passers side and Hand him the keys. Jared went into the back of my truck.

Now I know that ever since I moved to Forks I have been really... weak. Ever since I have meet Edward anyway. Like the moment looking into his eyes I was no longer the Bella I was in Phoenix, the one that was still quiet ad timid around others but once she was around her closest friends or doing something she really loved she was a really fun person to be around and did pranks on people who pissed her off with her old best friend. No here I turned into puppet Bella, the Bella that was Edwards little fragile Human girl. Maybe that's all I was to him anyways, considering the time frame he came from. This pisses me off, like really bad. The guy mad me cut contact with my friends from Phoenix! Sidney, Tanisha, Andrew, Dean, Marco, Lynn, everyone! : I need to punch something…again. As much as I would like to blame Eddie this is also my fault. I called them last what…last year right after moving here. They probably hate me right now, I know I do. Come on Swan grow a pair! When you get home your calling them and explain everything, they'll understand….maybe. Urg! I'll think about this when I get home, right now I have werewolves to worry about. How did I ever get to this topic anyway? Whatever I-

"BELLA!" Shouted what I think was Embry and scaring the crap out of me.

"WHAT!" I shouted back causing Embry to cover his ears. I looked to see us parked in front of a small Blue house. Oh. We're here. There I go ignoring the world again. Now that I'm back though I also notice Jared missing. Guess he's inside already

Embarrassed I turn to Embry," Sorry." I say.

"Its fine…I honestly didn't know you could yell like that…or anyone for the matter." He says and gets out of the truck. I follow and catch my keys with one hand easily as they fly through the air and he says "Think fast."

I let Embry lead the way into the house, but not before he turns to me again and says quietly "When you get in there don't stare okay. It bugs Sam."

"Why would I stare?" I ask confused. Yeah way with the detail big guy. I'm so confused right now. I mean does Sam have a messy house or something that's worth staring at?

I follow behind Embry as he just walks through the door. I see Jared sitting at what I guess is the dining table, handmade of wood, eating a muffin, now joined by Embry also eating a muffin. I noticed another figure in the room. She was a tall native woman; beautiful russet skin and long silky black hair, she was so beautiful I completely missed the scares running down her face, this is what Embry meant, and I feel so stupid now. She sent me a smile and I gave a tiny one back.

"You must be Bella, the Vampire Girl." She says to me, though I could hear the playfulness when she said 'Vampire Girl'. Chuckling at this I say,

"And you're Emily, the Werewolf Girl." She laughs. It wasn't annoying it was smooth actually and very mature and….mother like? Sam must be the alpha of this pack. He did give orders like a boss, hum; bossy alpha. I laugh inside my head, oh yeah; I'm definitely acting like me again.

"Guess the Wolfs outta the Bag." Embry laughs. Jared shoves him, "Shut up dude!" Jared laughed back. They act so much like brothers its hilarious to watch.

"Hey leave some food for your brothers! Bella, please make yourself at home. Have a muffin if you want. Are you thirsty by the way?" Emily asks walking to the Kitchen. I follow her and grab a muffin, they look really good; blueberry to, my favorite!

"Water is fine, thank you." I tell her. As she gives me a glass of water, I watch the boys again.

"So is this like a daily thing around here?" I asked her curiously.

"There werewolf thing or their behavior?" She asks.

"Both."

"Pretty much. Those boys may look like their 25 but they're still just teenagers. It's really sad though." She tells me.

"What is?" I ask her confused.

"Those boys phased so young, all of them except Sam whose 22 are 16. They had their entire life ahead of them and now they're all stuck here." She goes on telling me.

I really don't know what to say. I mean I know what it's like having to grow up fast, and it has nothing to do with Renee, more with what I got myself into, also part of the reason why I moved to Forks. But this, being stuck somewhere for a very long time, I don't know that feeling, and honestly? I never want to get to know that feeling.

Drowning my glass of water I put it into the sink and walked around the counter next to Emily who was leaning against the counter. The front door opened and Sam walks through, straight to Emily giving her a kiss on the lips. I looked away. I may be over my relationship, but I can still get jealous. I see Paul walk through the Door and straight to the Table with the muffins. He looks at me a smirks.

"Sorry." And that's it. He turns around and eats a muffin. He may be a gorgeous guy but he's got the personality of a potato. Men, can't live with em' can't live without em'.

Jake is the last to walk through the door. He makes hi way to me and brings me into a hug. A smothering, painful hug. Love you to Jakey, but I need air!

"A-Air. Breath! Jake…I need….to breath!" I manage to choke out and he lets go. I grab my chest and breath a mouthful of air.

"Sorry Bells." He says joyfully.

We stand there for a view moments. It got really quiet to, awkward might I add.

"So….you're Werewolves." I stated.

"Pretty much." Jake answers, looking at Sam all of a sudden. I turned to Sam also.

"I'm taking a wild guess here and say you're the Boss around here?" I ask trying to confirm my earlier conclusion. Sam looked uncomfortable for a moment under my stare.

"Yes, but we call it Alpha."He tells me.

"What do you all do?" I ask looking around.

"Hunt Leeches!" Jared shouted out like a exited five year old.

"You can hurt Vampires?" I asked stupidly. Paul spoke this time.

"They aint' invincible leech-lover. They might be strong, but were stronger."

"But their fast." I told him. I'm not trying to defend them, but this idiot is asking for an argument.

"We're Faster." Jared confirmed, a smirk growing on his face. I sight, I don't even know if I care anymore.

"Well are you guys the ones killing those hikers?" I asked desperately, hoping that it really is just some bear killing them. Not that I want them dead, no I want that bear dead then!

"No, that's that stupid leech that keeps evading us." Embry answered slightly offended I could see. They all started to growl so I decided to drop the subject. I glanced at Jake, who has barely said a word.

"So why aren't you talking. You know your sort of the reason I came here today." I told him annoyed.

He looks at me for a moment then back at Sam, then back at me.

"Bella lets go talk somewhere else." He says, nodding his head into the direction of the beach. I sigh again, "Fine."
