Chapter 6: Found

I threw my hands up in the air. "Did you just eat all of that?" I yelled at Embry and Jared, who looked much to pleased with themselves.

"Yup!" they said in harmony.

"And it was sooooo good! Make some more please!" Embry begged.

I smacked him with a wooden spoon harder than necessary. "Are you kidding? That was the biggest batch I could make with the amount of flour Billy had! And now you ate it before it was even cooked! I hope you get a stomach ache!" I furiously threw the now 'licked clean' dishes that used to hold cookie dough into the sink. They both just laughed and loped out. I turned and looked at the dishes, then sighed. Calling on my power again, I brought water out through my fingertip in a swirling motion, and wherever it touched the dishes, any food was washed away instantly, until the dishes were sparkling clean.

As soon as I had told the wolves that I never ate, but could cook, they had put me to work. I hadn't minded, it was better than fighting for your life, or the possession of the rocks that were your power and soul. I told them I was taking a shower, and headed for the bathroom. I was amazed at my luck. I went from on the run, to friends and chef for about 10 werewolves. Like I was complaining! This was the first pleasant memory after Aro's 'experiment'. Filthy bastard. Angry, I now looked into the mirror, and was shocked. My brain froze, beyond thinking. I reached a hand up to my face. My ears were pointy. I wasn't me anymore. My face was transformed; I was so pretty, I was jealous of myself for a moment.

My eyes, which Sam had commented on, were a deep green, with gold pupils. Well, Sam was right to be shocked. I was shocked myself. What happened to the bitter old Alexa? What happened to her old face? Her freckles? Her blue eyes? Now I was pale, beautiful beyond belief, and I had freaking POINTY ears. I looked like an elf. WAIT just a minute! Maybe Aro was sick enough to turn me into an elf! I looked at myself for a moment, then laughed silently. Yeah right. An elf. That was about as possible as me getting killed by a kitten. After staring at myself for a long time, I calmed down. I still had that stupid slip of paper from Aro, and currently, I had all the time in the world to try to find out what the hell I had become.

Pleased, and calmed down, I took the shower I had needed for a LONG time. I won't even mention how long. Even if I had to use guy soap, I was thrilled. After about ten layers of dirt, unhappy memories and tears were washed off, I stepped out to find a pair of the stolen sweats from goodwill had been washed, and were now waiting for me. I donned them, and went in search of Sam.

BELLA POV

I pushed my ancient truck faster, growling. The wolves were hiding something MAJOR from me, and after seeing some of it right in front of my eyes, told me that they needed time. Yeah right, I wasn't that stupid. I drove to the Cullens house muttering. As I pulled into the garage, Alice was there, stroking her Porsche. "Hey, back from La Push already?" she asked.

"Yes." I growled.

"Bella what is it?" she asked, planting herself right in front of me. I tried to stalk past her, but she caught me and gently threw me in the Porsches back seat. "What is it Bella?" she growled back. I sighed.

"Jake is hiding something from me with the other wol-" Alice cut me off.

"Bella! Jake doesn't have to share EVERYTHING with you!"

"Will you please allow me to finish?" I yelled. She bit her lip.

"Yeah, go ahead." She said, shamefaced for once.

"It was like another wolf, but had green and gold eyes. It transformed, and was wearing clothes when it was done. She looked like a vampire, but yet…not. It was the strangest thing. And when I asked questions…Alice?" I trailed off at the horrified expression on her face.

She grabbed me by the shoulders and asked urgently, "Are you positive that's what you saw?"

"Yes…" I said, unsure why she was so worried. She tried to compose herself.

"I need to talk with everyone, NOW." She whipped out a cell phone and called back the whole family from the 'hiking trip' they were on. She talked so fast, I couldn't understand a word she said. Then she dragged me into the house, and began 20 questions.

"Did she have a black pouch around her neck? Did she have brown hair? Were her ears pointy? Like an elves?"

"Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes." I replied.

"Amazing!" she breathed. She turned suddenly to face the crowd of vampires pouring in. Edward swooped me up, then sat me upon his lap. "Alice? What's wrong?" Carlisle asked. She took a deep breath.

'I had a vision a while ago, of a girl with long brown hair, pointy ears, and a black pouch at her neck, running away from Volterra. She looked like a vampire, smelled like one too, but was different somehow. Like a messed up human or something. Then the vision changed and she was in the woods, surrounded by the wolves." She looked up, confused. "Then Bella came home, saying the wolves wouldn't tell her why they were protecting a brown wolf with green gold eyes, the same eyes from my vision. Bella said that the wolf morphed into the girl. And they hid her, and told Bella that they would answer her questions later." Alice was pacing now. "When I tried to have a vision about her, she vanished. She must be friends with the wolves now." Edward hissed next to me, and Jasper tensed. He stood up, and wrapped his arms around Alice. There was a moment of silence.

"Is it a threat?" Esme asked. "If it's not, why should we worry? It's friends with the wolves, and probably has to live by their rules, staying away from us as much as possible, and keeping them a secret. It may be the safest way to go."

"We will see." Carlisle said, and turned to look out the window.
