Chapter 4 - Memories

BPOV

Why can't I remember Edward? I remember Alice, Jasper, Victoria, James and Laurent, so why can't I remember him? I tried to remember what caused me to remember them. I just saw something that reminded me of them, then I remembered them right away, so all I had to do was look for something that reminded me of Edward. That was going to be hard. Maybe if I look in my bedroom, I'll find something.

I hoped so. I didn't want to see Edward in pain again. I sighed. I tried hunting. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I could smell something just across the mountains. I quickly ran after the scent. I opened my eyes. I could see every single detail of the trees that I passed by. I ran faster. i was on top of the mountain already.

I spotted something russet-colored. It looked like a wolf. It smelled awful. I think it saw me because it started running after me. I ran away quickly. I could feel a few more others following me. They were catching up, so I had to use all my strength to push myself to go faster. Then, I felt something pierce through my skin. It really hurt. I turned around to see that a black wolf was biting my leg. I was surrounded by at least four wolves and I could hear a few more approaching us.

I looked at them. They were huge. The black wolf let go of me and I fell to the ground. I was holding my leg. I leaned on a tree trunk so that I could see how bad the damage was. My leg had a few cracks in the side. After a few seconds, the cracks disappeared. I closed my eyes, waiting for the wolves to finish me off. For a while, everything was silent.

I opened my eyes to see that six tall Indian boys were staring at me. "Bella?" one of them asked. "How did you know my name?" I asked. "Bella, it's me. Jacob. What happened to you?" Jacob. Hmm. I don't remember anyone named Jacob. "Who's Jacob?" I asked, confused. I started trying to get up. They all backed away. "Bella, don't you remember me? Jacob Black?" Jacob asked. "Nope. Doesn't ring a are you guys doing here? It's not safe out here! There are..."

I looked around, looking for the giant wolves that surrounded me a while ago. A couple of them laughed. "What's so funny?" I asked. I raised one of my eyebrows. "We were the wolves you saw a while ago. We're werewolves." one of them said. What the hell? Werewolves? Seriously?

First, vampire. Now this? I couldn't handle this. Don't tell me wizards are real too. "What the hell?" I asked. "Come on, Bella. I'll take you back to the house." Jacob said. "What? Where?" I asked. "Down at La Push." He said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. La Push. The place sounds familiar.

I followed them absentmindedly. One of them said "Ugh. I hate walking. Can't we phase?". "Fine." one of them said. It was only now that I noticed how tall they all are. They looked like they were about six and a half feet tall already. Then, in a blink of an eye, I giant wolf just appeared out of nowhere. I mean, seriously. They just appeared out of thin air! After a few seconds, a couple more wolves appeared, leaving me with Jacob.

"So, Bells. What happened to you?" He looked at me with concern. I had to think about that for a minute. "I was at home. Doing my homework. And Charlie wasn't home. Victoria, she was a vampire. Apparently, she hates me because Edward... he um, he killed her mate, James. So yeah, she wanted revenge. She came after me and then she bit me, dumped me in the river.

Next thing I know, I'm this." I gestured to my whole body. He just nodded as he took all of this in. "Charlie's still in La Push. He still doesn't know about what happened to you." Jacob said. It took a minute for me to process what he just said. What the hell am I going to do about Charlie? He can't see me like this. My eyes are red!

I wouldn't have to worry about him smelling appealing to me, though. I grimaced as I thought about the smell of blood again. Jacob looked at me curiously. "Can I see him?" I suddenly asked. I mean, what was the harm? Oh yeah, right. I was a vampire now. I couldn't age and stuff. So he would notice the changes. I would have to leave him eventually. I just wanted to say good bye to him before I had to leave. The thought of leaving Charlie and Renee forever made me want to cry, but as hard as I tried... nothing. Great. vampires can't even cry. Ugh.

Author's Note: Ugh. I am so sorry I haven't been able to like, update this story in a while. I'm really busy cause I have to study for my exams. I'll add more (hopefully this weekend) :) Thanks for reading :)

And um, one of my friends asked me why Bella's burn was painless... well, cause Bella blacked out before she was bitten... so she was motionless. She was changing but her mind was someplace else. So, yeah. She was not aware of the pain.

And another question, why doesn't Bella remember Edward? Because Bella's memory is being slowly restored because she sees stuff that remind her of that certain person. And Edward left Bella in New Moon, so in the book, it said that Bella's mind shied away from anything that reminded her of Edward. (before the whole voices thingy) So, yeah. Her mind is still trying to get rid of Edward. I don't know. That's the best explanation I could come up with. I just wanted Edward to be the last person she'll remember. It makes it more dramatic :))
