Chapter 4 Shape-shifters

BPOV

I pulled my truck to a stop by the borderline. When I turned off the engine I gave a sigh. "Are you alright?" Garrett questioned and startled me. I almost forgot he was here with how silent he was. I gave a breathy "Yeah, just…just let me do all the talking." He nodded his head absentmindedly to my question. When I got out, I saw a black wolf who I knew as Sam, and russet wolf Jacob. They ran behind trees and returned a minute later, coming to stand in front of us.

Jacob started talking, a bit angrily if you ask me. "God Bella! You just have to keep bringing bloodsuckers here, don't you! You-" "Jacob, stop. She is as much part of the pack as you are, so don't disrespect my cousin.(I'm making them cousins, okay?)" Jake's shoulders were tensed, and Garrett put a hand on my arm. To restrain me from hugging a posed-about-to-burst werewolf, or to reassure me, I wasn't sure. I spoke confidently, or at least hoped I did. "Jake, Sam, Garrett wants to sign the treaty." Sam crossed his arms across his chest seeming to ponder it.

"Fine. Jacob, go get it and inform the others while I tell him what's on the treaty." Jake nodded and ran back into the forest. A wolf howl pierced the night and Sam started talking. "The treaty is simple. When you're here, we can only protect and be on our land. If you leave, we have Forks and La Push to roam and protect freely. You bite a human and we are free to kill you. As long as you don't bite humans, we will leave you alone. Got it bloodsucker?" Garrett looked to me for permission to speak. I made a motion with my hand as a go ahead. "Terms are agreeable. I will never harm a human again." Sam started to fume. "Again?! Bella what does he mean again?!" Tears filled my eyes. Oh, Garrett, why?

Bella's face flushed. "Sam, he never hurt me, he never knew this way before! The second he found out, he changed. I swear! He's been feeding on animals, nothing but kind to me. If he hadn't found me, Charlie would've called a search party, cause I would have been lost in the woods! You know how dangerous it is out there! If I did get out, I probably couldn't have talked to anyone! Please Sam!" Bella, only you. Only my little cousin could make me pity a bloodsucker. And what's with the crying? Aw Bella… I snapped back into reality and out of Sam's mind. When I looked at Bella, my heart ached again. She was crying. She shouldn't have to be the one crying, I should. What with the mutt's wet dog smell. I wrinkled my nose. Horrid smell. Anyway, Sam started talking to Bella inching closer to the other side of the treaty line. "Alright Belly-Boo. You always get what you want, don't you? But you could always make me love you more, so every time you cry, I give in easily. Come here."

Sam held out his arms and pulled Bella into a loving cousin hug. It took everything in me not to growl. Why can't I be the one to hold and comfort her?! Wait. What? Am I…am I falling in love with her? No impossible. It can't be done. I can't be falling in love with someone who just got her heart broken. I just can't! (A/N: D nile isn't just a river in Egypt!) She'd totally reject me anyway, if I liked her. She would never give away her heart to a vampire again, since that bastard hurt her. I'd never get a chance.

Jacob decided to burst from the tree line now. He had an old wrinkly paper that was turning yellow. "The others know now. Paul wasn't happy that he couldn't kill the bloodsucker though." Sam let go of Bella and turned to glare at Jacob. "Now's not the time to joke. The only one not serious about this is you. Either leave to go to Jasmine, or grow up. I don't need an immature child here." He grumbled, "Fine. Whatever, just hurry up."

I took hold of the paper, surprised at the names on here.

Carlisle Cullen

Esme Cullen

Edward Cullen (I almost growled there)

Alice Cullen (A/N: Her and Jasper signed it later)

Emmett Cullen

Rosalie Hale

Jasper Hale

Eleazar Denali(A/N: As did the Denali's)

Carmen Denali

Irina Denali

Kate Denali

Tanya Denali

Garrett Walters (A/N: He needs a last name, doesn't he?)

With that, I gently gave it back. Sam smiled at Bella, "See you around Bell?" "Sure, love ya, cuz." "Love you too." He ruffled Bella's hair, then took off into the trees, Jacob behind him. I heard a "Aww, Sam, you're no fun!" and a thwack, meaning Sam had hit him. "Shut up Paul." Bella turned to me, "Ready? Or do you need to go hunt?" I shook my head, "I'm fine." We got into the vehicle and drove away.

THE NEXT DAY(Sunday)

BPOV

I awoke to Garrett humming a lullaby and reading one of my books. "What are you humming?" "Hm? Oh, I don't remember, but I can recall my mother singing a song to me with something along the lines of 'No worries my darling dear, my heavenly gift, no monsters are coming for you tonight. Mother shall keep them away from her sweet prince's dreams of slaying dragons, and finding his princess…' I only remember a hum after that." I felt so bad for him, I got up and hugged him trying to comfort my Garrett.

…What? My Garrett? Where did that come from! I don't like him, he's only a friend. Right? Right. Garrett is only my friend.

At least I think so…
