Mr. Laengain came back into the room about two minutes later. "Mr. Black you can wait outside my office until I'm done with Ms. Swan." Jacob got up, looked at me then walked out of Mr. Laengain's office. Mr. Laengain looked at me after Jacob was out the door. "Bella your mom should be here shortly do you have anything to say before she gets here?" Hmm is he saying that I have to apologize for defending myself.
"Nope, nothing." Where did this new attitude come from? I was once that shy girl who never got into trouble and now where am I, I'm sitting in the principle's office waiting for my pissed off mother to come and rip my head off.
Not long after did my mom walk into the office with an angry look on her face. "Bella why are you in this office? You're better than this and you're starting fights in school." Anger washed over me, "I didn't start the fight. She called me something disrespectful and do you think I'm going to let her get away with that?"
My mom turned to look at Mr. Laengain, "I'm sorry for my daughter's behavior. We're going to go home now if that's alright?" Mr. Laengain nodded and then we walked out of his office with Jacob standing right by the door for entrance.
My mom walked towards her car while I walked towards the truck. I drove off to the house with mom right on my tail. When I pulled up to the house and was about to walk inside, mom stopped me. "You stop right there, young lady." I stopped and turn around to look at my furious mom. "What's with this new attitude and this fight that you started in school?" "I told you I didn't start that fight, and this new attitude is your daughter saying you're not around enough." I know that was a low blow but it was true. I'm hurting and my mom doesn't know about it or doesn't even try to know about it.
"Bella you know I need these extra hours," she said trying to make me understand. "When was the last time you at least had a real conversation with me? How many times do you say goodnight or good morning to me? Less than what you should. You said things would be different, that when we moved here you'd spend more time with me and not your work." "Bella tell me what I can do to make this better."
"Get dad for me." Hot tears started to form in my eyes; I ran pass the house and into the forest leaving my mom shocked. I ran and ran until I reached a clearing then collapsed on the earthy ground crying for someone to come and rescue me. Crying for my dad and for mom.
JPOVI walked in the house to hear mom talking on the phone and dad watching baseball with Harry Clearwater. "Its ok Renee she'll come around she's just not used to so much change." Mom and her new friend are like sisters. They tell each other everything. Mom's friend is having troubles with her daughter and doesn't know what to do with her. Last night I heard mom talking to her and just overheard about the situation.
I went to the fridge and grabbed water before walking to the living room and sitting down on the couch. Mom came walking into the room and looked at me. She knows about me being a werewolf because dad imprinted on mom and dad told mom because it's the requirement of imprinting. You just cannot say no. "Renee's daughter ran off into the woods and you know how dangerous that is for a human. I want you to go and look for her." I got off the couch and was about to walk out the door but something came to me. "I don't even know what she looks like, how am I suppose to look for her?"
Moms face turned into her famous sarcastic one, "well I doubt that there would be just some random girl walking in the woods. She lives in Forks so I don't think she wandered off that far." I chuckled at mom's sarcastic tone as I walked out of the front door.
Walking five steps into the forest I stopped and took off my cut-offs then phased on the fly. I wasn't a show off it was just fun.
I dodged trees and ran towards Forks. 'Jake, man why are you phased it's not your shift yet.'-Embry. Embry and Quil were patrolling tonight. Embry is by the Canadian border and Quil is in Seattle. 'My mom sent me to go and look for her friend's daughter someplace in the woods. I guess she got upset and just took off.'-Jacob. Quil is smart but his brain is 50/50 so that means he says things always at the wrong time. 'Is she hot?'-Quil 'Shut up Quil.'-Jacob.
I decided to ignore Quil and Embry because they started asking me questions that I don't even know the answer to. As I rounded the corner by the cliffs I could faintly hear sniffling and ran in the direction I heard it from. When I reached the source of where the sniffling came from I almost stumbled over my feet. Renee's Daughter was Isabella. I never saw Renee before so I didn't even know that Renee was the one that came to get Isabella today.
I phased back and just watched her from where I stood. How could one person have so much hate in them? You would think that her soul would have swallowed itself whole by now. I didn't know Isabella because we met on bad terms but I've been around her enough to know that she's as hard as a rock. She has not smiled once and every time someone says the wrong thing she explodes in his or her face. The scene in front of me was a new side of Isabella that no one else would see because of her façade that she pulls off so well.
Isabella looked like a child who lost their little puppy. From here I could see that her eyes were red as was her nose and every now and then a stray tear would make a watery path down her bronze tan cheeks. She just lied in the grass looking up at the sky and cried. Isabella looked like she was tying to find something up there but her little crease between her eyebrows showed that she couldn't.
She looked so at ease with her tears and the earth beneath her. How was I suppose to help her home when is all she's going to do is probably throw a rock at my head. Taking a deep breath I slowly descended from the trees and stopped a few feet away from Isabella. Her head turned as she looked at the clouds and it turned far enough that she could see me. She jumped to her feet and looked at me. "Why are you here?"
For some reason she looked scared and that was not usual for Isabella. "Your mom told my mom about you running off and I was told to come find you." Her face changed into so many emotions that I couldn't even keep up with which one replayed itself. "I don't want to go with you. I'll find my own way back but I'm not going now." She then lied back down on the grass and closed her eyes.
I was becoming impatient with her as she lied there and didn't get up to leave. "Look I have better things to do than be here waiting for you." She sighed, "than go. No one is stopping you."
I decided to walk away and trust her word that she'll go home and not fall asleep on the ground because a storm is coming in.
BPOVAfter Jacob left I continued to look up at the sky. There was suppose to be a storm rolling in pretty soon and I've noticed at night before I fall asleep it rains, and when it rains something in me feels magical but also painful that it takes some pain away in my heart. I want to know how it would feel to be in a storm. It might sound strange but it feels different.
Slowly dark clouds came across the baby blue sky and squished themselves closely together so that you couldn't see the blue of the sky any more. Bella don't do this you're not ready yet said the deep voice of my dad. "Ready for what?" I asked aloud but didn't get an answer.
A low rumbling noise came from above and then a big crackle from the east followed by a roar of thunder. As it got closer my body started to jolt with the lightning and thunder. My body was in sync with the noises above me. Bella find shelter! But I didn't want to.
Another crack went across the sky and it made my body go up off the ground about three inches. Crack! Jump. Crack! Jump. Finally the lightning was above me and my vision went red. Literally. This started to scare me a bit but as I tried to get up I couldn't I felt like someone was holding me to the ground. I struggled, pulling against nothing but something was there.
Then slowly but in an almost fast pace the rain came and when the first drop hit my skin I screamed. The rain felt like acid on my skin. I was burning inside and out. My heart was beating to fast for me to even get enough oxygen but as oxygen went in the fire grew bigger.
I arched my back to be released from the hold and when my head went back that's when I saw it. It was a mass shaped as a human and see through. The mass was black and it was coming to me in a slow pace. When it was right in front me it touched both of my arms, my forehead, both legs, and then the spot where my heart is.
The dark mass stood back up and shook as an evil cackle came from him. Then I felt it. Hot and I mean very hot blood was in my veins. I shut my eyes and it felt like all the noises were sucked into a big whole then blank.
.

I opened my eyes and didn't recognize the room I was in. I tried to spot my surroundings but I started to feel motion sickness. Everything in me hurt and then I remembered the hell I've been through. I reached over to a side table and tried to find if someone left me something to drink.
Something uncomfortable was in my arm and I lifted it up to see a needle in it going up into an IV bag. I reached down and lifted up the blankets and saw faint pink marks on my leg and arms. My shirt and the bandage on my head were probably covering up more pink marks.
"Oh thank god, you're awake." Someone wrapped his or her arms around me, this made me wince a bit. They pulled back and I was met with my mom's doe eyes. She kissed my forehead and leaned back into a plush chair that was pulled up to the bed. "How long was I out?" She sighed, "a day and a half. Jacob went to go and get you. He found you all burnt up…" She stopped then spoke again, "honey what happened to you." Not wanting to tell my mom the truth because she'll probably think I'm going insane, I said, "I don't remember."
A beautiful native woman walked into the room and sat on the other side of the bed. "Bella I'd like you to meet Mrs. Black. She's Jacob's mom." I tried to put a smile on my face but I bet it faltered a bit, "nice to meet you." A big smile spread across her face that I once saw on… Seth. "You too. It's great to finally meet the famous Isabella." I faced mom, "umm is it alright if I could be left alone." My mom gave me a worried look, stood up then walked out the brown wooden door followed by her friend.
When they left the room and it was just the space around my being, and me I tried focusing on what happened. I wanted to believe what happened was just some nightmare from a scary dream of my childhood but the scars and red marks on me said that it was as real as I am right now. In a way I wished I would've went with Jacob and someplace safe where that monster would have never touched me, and as stubborn as I am I decided not to.
Like I said before, why do I always choose, do the wrong things? Its like ever since dad has passed everything I do is conflicted on anger. I don't have options because my anger already chooses for me. In some ways I feel like I'm here physically but not all here mentally. Something else is in me, something evil and powerful. Yes something is. Why do you keep on coming in and out of my head? It's driving me nuts when I ask something and you don't answer. You're not controlling your thoughts well enough. You have to be focused on me. Now that you are officially a…will you believe me if I told you this? Told me what? You're not human. You're a wolf in someone's body, your body. Actually the wolf is what possessed you. Why would a wolf posses a human? Well, my dear they are meant for protection for your people, and yourself. You're a wolverine. Then what is this wolf I keep seeing in my dreams but its not just one it's nine. Those are werewolves and they become what they are by their ancestors. The wolf possesses wolverines, but the wolf still runs through their blood. Two friends of mine and I were the last of the wolves and now it's your turn. Don't fail me. How do I control this? I'll teach you and then he was gone. None of this was making sense and I had no one to teach beside a ghost figure that was my dad.
After two days of lying in a hospital bed I went to school and talked to no one or answered anyone. Seth even tried talking to me but I said nothing and brushed against him as I walked by. My wolf was playing against me. It wanted to feast on excitement and thirst on people's anger. I'm pretty sure that the rage inside of me was enough to fill her up but I guess not.
When school was out I walked to my truck only to be stopped at the sidewalk. I felt a rumbling in my chest and turned around to see who grabbed me. It was Jacob. He was furious about something and was shaking. "What kind of voodoo shit are you playing with? Did you know witch craft is illegal and also dangerous or did that not come to mind through your stupidity?" I looked at him and the tree line by the school. In two seconds of decision I took off to the trees and stopped at the edge of this small clearing where the sun was. My wolf was yearning for the light and warmth as if I wasn't hot enough. Jacob appeared three feet away and I stuck my hand in the light. Smoke started to come out of my closed fist. "This is what I am." His face was in complete shock and then was about to pull me away from burning myself but I stepped back and into the light. I was burning but it didn't hurt like it did.
"What are you?" and if that was right on cue I busted out of my skin. I screamed when I felt my bones grow into bigger and stronger ones. My eyes were closed and when I opened them a wolf was standing in front of me. His face looked confused. Where'd Jacob go? Not that I cared. I looked down and almost stumbled when I saw the four white legs under me. I was a wolf. It wasn't a surprise because I got a heads up but it was creepy to experience.
Slowly I leaned back on my hind legs looking as if I was going to attack the wolf in front of me and then ran and jumped over him and took off through the woods with him on my tail.
