"Hi mom, we're back." I said as calmly as I could, my mother sitting in the living room with my father. They both looked up from our company and smiled at me. I looked over at the company and sighed inward, all three were dark skinned and male. They weren't as handsome as Jacob but not too bad either. I smiled politely to them for a moment.

"Hey Sawyer, these are our guests. Sam, Quil and Embry." mom introduced them to me and I nodded, smiling politely still.

"Mom, I'm going to go change. I'll be right back down." I told her and she nodded. Jacob went in and joined Sam, sitting on the floor by the chair where he was seated. I made my way upstairs and stretched, making my way into my room. I shifted through my closet and pulled out a purple blouse, dark green camo jeans and a pair of tennis shoes. I pulled my hair up into a pony tail, scratching along the back of my neck a moment.

I headed back down the stairs a moment, knowing even if I was quiet a house full of my vampire family and part of a werewolf pack would know I was listening. There was nothing coming from them, they were all quiet. There wasn't even the slight buzz from one vampire talking to another. I entered the room and mom looked up, smiling at me.

I sat down on the air of the large couch, crossing my legs together and sitting with my hands in my laps. "So why'd you guys come?" I asked as politely as I could, though the look on Alice's face made me think she knew why and saw more then she was telling us.

"To talk… So you've been in Germany the last few years?" the one mom called Sam asked. I recognized him from the woods when I'd gone running but apparently he hadn't registered I smelled the same as the white wolf. "You're a witch of sorts?" he asked, tilting his head a moment.

"Um, yes sir. I was told, in Germany, my kind is an old kind of witch. We have active powers and um, a protector of sorts." I told him and he just nodded a moment. Edward was glaring evilly down at Jacob, who'd sat himself beside Sam's chair on the floor. My brother was over protective, that being an understatement.

"So how did you come by the Cullen family? Did they kill your parents?" Sam asked harshly and my eyes went wide. Mom went to protest but Jacob did first.

"Sam! Be nice, that's no way to talk to someone." Jacob said, obviously angry at the way his leader had begun to treat me.

"For your information I was abandoned by my parents. Carlisle found me outside the hospital, fire spiraling around my hands and my wrists." I hissed at Sam, a tone of voice I'd picked up from when Rose was angry. Acid dripping from it.

"I didn't want just some plain human finding her and turning her in for research, or worse a god fearing person come along and find her; then kill her believing she's Satan's child." my father protested angrily. He didn't want a big fight to start, I knew that much, but he wasn't going to have a werewolf accuse them of killing my biological parents.

"That's reasonable enough, but how is a house full of vampires any safer?" Sam protested, Embry and Quil watching him. Jacob was staring at me with soft and sorry eyes. I flashed him a kind smile, biting my bottom lip for a moment.

"We've never once tried killing her, from the moment she came into this house my family has done nothing but love and care for her!" dad said loudly, standing up abruptly. Jasper was sending out calm waves which apparently weren't working so well on dad and Sam.

"What about when you turn Bella? Newborn vampires are even worse for someone ALIVE to be around." Sam protested just as loud as my father had been, standing up as well.

"EXCUSE YOU! I can handle myself perfectly fine around newborns thank you. Not to mention Bella and Edward were planning to go off on their own a bit after the change. PLUS I'm going to be eighteen in like six or seven months and I'll probably travel on my own." I said angrily at Sam, he was assuming something he had no idea about and that was pissing me off.

"Sawyer!" Mom hissed at me, the look she gave me was stern. Though I knew it was only a problem that I was probably pissing off a werewolf. Jasper was sending waves of calm at us all now, I could feel it immensely and I glared at my brother a moment.

"Mom, he acts like I'm some puny little human who can't care for herself!" I huffed, glaring back at Sam who was so red with anger I thought he'd explode into a wolf any moment. Or just explode period. "Besides, he should be nicer to me. His beta did imprint on me." I huffed, using that against him. Sam was about to protest, looking from Jacob to me as I stared at the floor, and sat down in a fury.

Dad was about to chuckle when Sam opened his mouth and started talking. "All the more reason. You're still human which means there is always a chance. Do you know what happened on Bella's birthday?" Sam asked me, everyone turning to him with anger at bringing it up. My brother Jasper instantly had a look of guilt on his face and I glared at Sam, moving over to Jasper and putting my arm around his waist as Alice hugged him around the shoulders.

"I love my brother, he has been there for me so many times. It was a slip up, he's more new to this then anyone damn it. It happens, and you'd do best to forget about it. My family loves him and Bella forgave him, nothing happened! Sure it was close but nothing happened!" I told him angrily, my brother's arms going around my waist and Alice's.

"Sam, how dare you bring that up! Jasper feels guilty enough." Bella chastised, Jacob glaring at Sam a moment. I placed my hand against Jasper's chest, sending a warmth through his body as he would a calm wave through mine. He watched me a moment, placing a soft kiss atop my head as any loving brother would.

"Sam, get this through your head. I love my family and there is no way I'm leaving them. I may be human but I have all the means to protect myself. Now please, just leave. You've upset this family enough." I told him, looking over at my father who nodded.

"Fine, fine!" Sam said, standing up. "But remember Carlisle, we lifted the treaty for Bella if she leaves when it happens. If you even attempt to change Sawyer, that'll be calling war and you'll never be allowed back in Forks." Sam hissed at us and looked to me. I stared him down, fire in the form of snakes emerged from my hand and started going up my arms. Sam took this as a 'get the hell out' and made his way out the door with Embry and Quil in tow.

Jacob watched me for a moment and I smiled softly at him. He smiled back and Sam yelled for him to hurry. Jacob's eyes fell to the ground as he turned to leave. Sam yelled for him again and he sighed, closing the door behind him.

"Jacob wants you to meet him at the beach tomorrow." Edward sighed softly, looking at me a moment. He took Bella's hand and they made their way upstairs and to his room.

"Is he going to hate me, for something that wasn't even my fault?" I sighed softly, plopping down into the large red chair Bella had been in.

"Oh hunny, don't worry about your brother. He'll be fine, it's just… first his fiancé now his baby sister. Edward isn't so big on a werewolf loving someone he loves." Mom laughed as she came over to me and pat my head.

"I know mom, but he could be less of an ass." I sighed softly and my father laughed, smiling at me. Jasper came over to me, leaning down in front of me; placing his cold hands on my knees.

"Thank you Sawyer, for what you said. I'm glad to know I have a little sister that loves me so much." He smiled, leaning forward and pressing his cold lips to my forehead. "We're going hunting, see you later?" he asked and I nodded, he kissed my forehead again and held Alice's hand as in a rush of wind they were gone.

"I'm going too Sawyer, Emmett is complaining." Rose laughed softly, patting her husband's stomach. He grinned sheepishly and I nodded. Emmett came over to me and ruffled my tied back hair, earning him a glare whilst he just laughed as he and Rose laughed.

I pulled the tie off my hair as dad came over to me. "You going to pick up your dog tomorrow?" he asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, probably. Thanks again dad." I smiled, letting my hair fall to my shoulders instead of fusing over it without my brush.

"You're welcome Sawyer and thanks, for loving this family as much as we love you." he laughed some and I nodded. He placed his cool lips to my forehead and took Esme with him upstairs. I sighed softly, holding my hand out and watching the fire snake wrap around it a moment; laughing softly.

After about ten minutes by myself, playing with the fire snake around my arm; I made my way to my room. I flicked on my bed side lamp, looking around a moment. I went over to the large window seat and sat down, sighing softly. It was only about three in the afternoon and about half my family was hunting, the other half was in their rooms with each other.

I made my way over to a trunk I still hadn't unpacked and pulled it onto my bed. I bit my bottom lip, opening it up and looking over my things. It had my dagger set, the handles carved with dragons due to my main thing being fire. I set them on my night stand, shifting through the rest of my stuff for my photo album.

Finding it I pulled it out and pulled my legs to my chest as I sat on the bed. I opened it and smiled first thing. There was tons of pictures with my growing up with my family; the parties, a wedding or two, my engulfed in fire when I was six, then there was the picture of me the first time I took my wolf form. Sure, I could learn to shape shift into other creatures but the wolf was the first thing that side of me chose, my protector said it was supposed to represent my spirit guide.

There were plenty of pictures with me as I got older and would play with my brothers more. Some were from baseball games, or swimming, other things like that. Some were even various outfit's the girls had bought for me.

When I came up to the pictures from training, I nearly wanted to cry. There were some early ones with a friend of mine Alyssa, who'd been killed by a newborn vampire who'd been just 'passing through.' So I knew plenty more about newborns then that Sam gave me credit for. There were plenty of my work out poses that Matty had taken, then there were some of myself and Matty just playing around and being goofy.

I closed the book and smiled, rubbing my hand along the cover a moment. The leather cover felt cool against my warm hands and I smiled a moment, putting it in the drawer of my night stand. I looked around at the pictures hanging on the wall and smiled; I loved my family more then anyone gave me credit for. I'd been away from them for almost three years and there was no way some annoying werewolf was going to get me to leave them.

Jacob's POV:

"Jacob, do you truly think it's safe to leave her over there?" Emily asked me as we got back to the house. I watched her a moment, she was cooking for us and it smelt so good.

"Yes Emily, I think she's fine. She loves them, Sam you have to admit that you saw it in all of them." I told him as he sat down at the table. He glared at me a moment before his face softened and he relaxed. Emily came and kissed his forehead before going back to our dinner.

"I saw Jacob, I saw. We'll leave her there for now, but if any reason proves it's unsafe for her we're forcing her to leave." Sam told me, and I knew this was the only compromise he was going to make on the subject.

"Thank you dear." Emily said to him first, smiling over at him as she finished up and washed her hands. Sam smiled at her a moment then looked to me, he must have seen some look on my face because he beamed some at me.

"Good luck there Jacob, she appears to be a stubborn one." Embry chuckled as he grinned at me.

"But at least she isn't in love with a bloodsucker!" Quil laughed aloud and all over us glared at him. "She did smell really weird though, like one of them." he shuttered and something must as hit Sam because he got this 'oh wow' look on his face.

"Paul, the wolf." Sam told Paul, who'd been sitting silently over on the couch. He looked over at Sam a moment and nodded a moment, though he hadn't been there to actually smell her. "You'll find out sooner or later." Sam chuckled, the look on his face now told us all he wasn't going to mention anything more on the subject. I glared at him a moment before we all dove into the food Emily placed in front of us.

Sawyer's POV:

"Sawyer, dinner is done. Bella and Edward are already downstairs." mom poked her head in and smiled at him. I looked up from the book I'd been reading and smiled at her, closing it as I got up and placed it on the bed. "Those yours?" mom asked, pointing over to my blades.

"Yeah mom, they trained us to use them at the school." I told her and she glared at me a moment. I couldn't tell her everything about the school, how a teacher there had trained us to hunt rogue vampires. He apparently knew what my family was and hadn't treated me so kindly. Lucky enough for me I could hide stuff from Edward almost as well as the rest of the family, so I was safe from him knowing that part of my training.

"Well, just be careful with them." mom told me with her soft smile, wrapping her arm around my waist as I came through the doorway.

"Don't worry mom, I'm plenty careful." I chuckled softly, smiling warming at my mother. She led me down into the dinning room and sat me next to Bella who was next to Edward. She placed food in front of myself and Bella, sitting down as dad came in and joined us by sitting next to mom.

We talked about various things, well they talked more then I did anyways. I noted how Edward would need to go hunting soon but he was so wrapped up with hanging with Bella he'd probably fought back any notice of it. I ate my food quietly for a little while, thinking about tomorrow.

I was actually looking forward to seeing Jacob, if he showed up that was. He was a nice guy it seemed and so far all I was getting was good vibes off of him. I knew this could possibly be my soul mate, but I wasn't going to jump into anything. I was only seventeen, what seventeen has an easy choice when it comes to picking someone to spend the rest of her life with.

I looked at Bella a moment, smiling at her. She'd chosen my brother and was going to be with him for eternity. Matty had been a good thing for me, a good relationship; but outside that I wasn't really that trusting first off even if I enjoyed being around someone. Sure, my siblings and parents all had their one true love; but I was more careful with that.

I sighed softly to myself, Edward watching me a moment. He smiled at me when I noticed this and I smiled back. I finished my food and made my way upstairs to read some more. I mentioned this to my family and they let me leave, going back to their conversation. I made my way into my room, laying down on my bed. Jet lag was still a problem for me and I was all over the place.

I pulled the book over to me and propped it on my stomach as I read peacefully. Sometimes it was nice having Emmett out of the house, even if I loved him he could be quite exhausting, more so then I wanted right now. Somehow I'd managed to drift off to sleep and once again failed to dream at all.
