As Onyx sped through La Push, she marveled at how her childhood retreat hadn't changed a bit. Most Indian reservations don't change though, she thought to herself. She pulled into a gas station upon noticing that the gas gauge was dangerously close to empty. As she scanned the surroundings, she saw a bunch of Indian males standing in front of the store.

"What are you guys a gang?" She chuckled, walking into the store. Most people wouldn't have dared to play that joke but she genuinely found them funny, not to mention brooding and cold.

"So, you new to the area?" One of them asked as she walked out with a pepsi and receipt for twenty dollars of gas. She turned looking at the man standing in front of the others, an alpha male and sure ready to prove it to her.

"Yea, my brother goes to Forks High. I'm kinda worried about him though. Maybe you all could help me out." Her head spun with an idea, hoping it would cause tension. "Any of you guys know a Bella Swan?"

"I do." One of the rat pack answered, stepping forward toward her. She looked him over and found him delectable.

"Really? Well, what can you tell me? I saw her boyfriend. I figured my brother's in for a rough ride. What's your opinion?" She smiled when she saw his face twinge, Onyx had done what she does best, hit a nerve.

"He should stay away from Edward." Jacob's voice sounded disgusted saying the sentence but elevated with disgust ten fold with the name. "He's bad news."

"Hm," Onyx smiled, "Thanks for that information but my brother can handle himself. I mean, Edward may be violent but he's kind of small. I'm sure he's only so good of a fighter. And my lil' bro fights dirty."

"I don't think you understand." Jacob growled, stepping past Sam and toward Onyx, towering over her in an instant. "Edward's a lot more dangerous than he looks; ask Bella if you don't believe me."

"If she believed that he was dangerous she wouldn't be dating him. Besides, I have a feeling you just feel threatened. What was Bella your girl before he came into town?"

Jacob breathed deeply, controlling his anger. He wanted to rip this girl to shreds. Her voice was cocky and victorious. She knew she was getting to him as she had intended to. A predator, he could smell her conscious mockery of anything that challenged her and her eyes divulged a thrill for the argument that seemed to be deeper than just her vanity.

"Well, if that's all you can tell me I think I'll just fill up and leave. Unless of course you have any other ridiculous warnings for me?" She turned and pranced back to her car, filling up and immediately leaving, spinning tires and all.

"I think she got you, Jake." Sam chuckled, putting his hand on Jake's shoulder, pulling him back to the pack.

"She didn't get me." Jake argued, "If I could've told her what the bloodsucker was then she woulda been put in her place. We probably should do something though, if her brother really does have his eye on Bella, the bloodsucker might attack him."

"Agreed, lets go talk strategy in a less open place." Sam suggested, beginning to walk in the direction of Emily's home.

Emily greeted her boys happily as they stepped through the door but when they settled around the kitchen table, she knew that there was trouble. She began baking them something because she knew they'd probably be out hunting later.

"So, do you think Onyx's little brother would really get into a fight with Edward? I mean it's not like he's really someone that anyone in Forks would ever think of messing with."

"Did you see how she handled herself though? Not many women would be ballsy enough to call one of us out with the others around, hell just one of us alone. If guts run in the family, I'd say he'd do it for fun."

"Onyx?" Emily questioned aloud to herself. What was she doing in La Push?

"Do you know her sweetie?" Sam asked, moving over to her and brushing the hair out of his love's face.

"Well. I remember her and her brother. I don't think you're going to have to worry about him and Edward fighting. He's dead." Emily had never been a good liar so she went the lie they'd been telling people for years.

"Well, she must be deranged if she thinks that her bro has eyes for Bella." Jacob asserted somewhat vindicated that he lost an argument to a nut job.

"No, she's sane. Just attached. To her, her brother still is alive." Emily bargained.

"You seem to know her pretty well." Sam pointed out.

"We were friends a long time ago." She turned back to the omelets she was preparing.

"Good, then you won't mind inviting her over here for dinner one night. That way we can get a good feel of who just moved into the neighborhood. I'm sure the boys will love the excuse to eat you out of house and home more than they already do."

"I'm not sure that she'll accept."

"Make her then. For old times sake."
