Disclaimer- I don't own twilight...Or anything to do with it... But I wish I did.
Summary - Werewolves were meant to be rare, having been hunted almost to extinction. What if one was hidden in Forks all along? Will Paul accept her, will the pack allow her to stay. What will the Volturi say out that..
BTW this is my take on the whole werewolf thing, there are twists and it wont show them how they are usualy portrayed.
Pandora's POV
Thank God for summer vacation, now all I needed was an excuse for not going to Nessie's party...Like, mad cow disese! Now all I needed was a realistic cow costume...Wow, maybe I ate something I shouldn't have, my thoughts just kept getting wierder and wierder. I was on the black hammock in my room, it was made of thin almost see through black material, and hung about 4 foot from the foor, sadly it meant I had to move if I wanted to geta drink from my fridge. I was dressed and made up like aways, in some kind of over sized hoodie - today it was a mall cop one- and tight demin jeans. Later, I would probably dye the tips of my fridge again, as they were faiding more green than blue... Other than that I didn't really have any plans, call Hannah maybe, then she might come round. She was always in awe of my room, how big it was, how much stuff I had in it.
I glanced around, I had a flat scree tv, with two red leather sofas in front of it, two walk in wardrobes, one was just for shoes and bags, my california size bed, my dresser, covered in red gems and aways fully stocked with make up and god knows what else, my hamock, my fridge... My pet dog asleep on one of the sofas, and my bird cage... Ah, the only aspect of my room which I ... liked, it was a pretty big cage, and sat down the little case of stairs. Inside was Cola, my parrot and her little budgie friend Boe, I usualy let them out in the after noon for a little while.
I went and sat on one of the sofas, and Dottie immediently climbed up and sat on my lap. There was a tap on the wall out side of my room. "Yeah...?" I asked gently.
"Umh, your Mom said it was okay for us to come up.. If thats okay with you?" Asked a deep voice from outside. Paul.
"Oh yeah, urgh, come in." I told him, and Dot slowly raised her head as he strode in.
"I brought one of the pack who didn't get to meet you yesterday." He smiled gently, jesus, I had only ever seen him give that smile to a girl twise, once was yesterday to me... and the other was today to me. It was like...He cared.
A young woman, maybe 19 years old slowly walked in, She had cropped brown hair, and dark eyes. "Wow.." She breathed. "This is your room...?" I nodded gently.
"You can sit down if you want, you know, you don't have to stand..."I said around a yawn. The girl suddenly had me in a hug. "Uh..Okay.." I laughed.
"Sorry, I'm Leah. And i'm just happy to not be the only wolf girl...Well I guess there's your Mum but..."
"But she's a bit ...Wierd.." I ended for her. Leah nodded.
"Sorry, but your room is huge." Laughed Paul beside her, Dottie who had slowly crawled aong to him was now being held in his arms like the lap dog she was. I shrugged.
"It kind of has to be, I'm genrally okay at school, but being out around in the open isn't really the best idea. I could see...Something, and I would be gone."
"That must me rough..." Murmured Leah.
"I do go out, obviously-" I started.
"Or you wouldn't have as many friends as you do.." Added Paul. I blushed.
"I don't have that many friends." I muttered.
"When you are actually at school, people swarm around you. Collin told me." He laughed... Ah I loved his laugh it was so deep and.. Wohoa there! This is Paul, Paul the man whore..who was in my room, so diffrent than he usualy is.
"but they aren't real friends" I contradicted. "They're just people, easily drawn in by money and possesions. Plus, i'd give everything I have up to be away from this place, well, maybe not my dog, i've gotten pretty attached to her, but anything else. Or my birds actually."
"Do you remember your real family?" Asked Paul, looking directly into her eyes, his were so dark they were almost black, I looked away quickly.
"A bit yeah, my Mom was called Megan, and My Dad Brian. We just lived in a flat in North London, we were just normal nobody people. But Karen and Argon were searching for their perfect children, then oneday when I was walking home from school they just grabbed me. I think they must have slipped me something, because I was out cold until we got here."
I felt like shit, when ever I talked about my past I did, because there was literally no way for me to get back to that. Because I would never be Jesse again, I would have to stay Pandora, the charater I created for myself to get me through.
"Leah." Paul said suddenly. "Could you give us a moment, go meet Connor or something. It's next door." She nodded and left with out a word. Without warning Paul put one scortching arm around my waist and pulled me to him, my head rested on his chest.
"Do you want us to get you back to your real home?" He asked quietly. I shook my head.
"I can't, its to dangerouse now, I'm this. My family think i'm dead now anyway, a body was found... Thats all I know. Jesse is dead..." I whispered, determined not to cry.
"Thats your real name isn't it? Jesse?" Paul whispered back, the words rumbling in his chest.
"That was my name, i'm Pandora now, thats who I am. But, I think I liked Jesse better.." I admitted. Petting Dot gently in Pauls lap.
"Why did you pick Pandora?"
I bit my lip. "They bit us, and whilst we were changing they told us to try and think up names, to take out minds off of it. We knew what we were becoming, and it was the only think I could think of. Because Pandora's box was so full of evil."
"Awh hunny..." Paul breathed onto my head, his warm breath making me tingle. He had both arms around me now, keeping me safe. "This is abit forward, but, do you want to come around to mine tonight? We could watch a movie on something? You look like yo could use a break." His voice dropped a tone. But, this was Paul, could he honestly be doing this because he cared?
"You're thinking to hard.." He breathed in my ear, and I swear I nearly passed out right there.
"Yeah" I said calmly. "Yeah okay..I have no idea where you live." And once again, the oh so heart warming laugher filled my ears.
Paul was actualy...Really fun, and genuinly nice. Wow, never thought i'd be saying that about Paul Maraz, he had never even looked in my direction before.. But now. I decided to ask him. We had been layed out on my bed in silence for a while now, he was still holding me, he hadn't go of me. "You're diffrent." I stated stupidly, seriously thats the best I could do.
"What do you mean?" He asked into my shoulder, making me shiver.
"You're usualy kind of a douch, you scare people and try and get into the pants of everything female that moves." I blurted out. But I felt him chuckling again, so I knew it was all good.
"Guess there isn't really anyway I can defend myself there, but not, I guess you're right. I fight and... Have sex a lot." His voice was gruff. "As a shapeshifter, do you mind if I call myself a wolf? Can't we just all call ourselves wolves? It'll be so much easier. Anyway, wolves like me sometimes imprint. Heard of that before?" I shook my head, looking at his face. It was easy to see why girls threw themselves at him, he had shiny russet skin, the whitest teeth, dark eyes and that handom face... Phwar.. "It's when we find our soul mates, and with them its pretty raw. We can't hide anything, and we love them unquestionably. The imprints can be any age, and the love changes depending on that, form brother, protector to best friend.. to lover. Some of the council think its to carry the gene on strongest." I heard him swallow. "I imprinted on you Pandora. I can't pretend around you..." Paul looked away, he seemed ashamed? "Right now, this is Paul. This is who I am."
I nodded, tears pooling in my eyes. "And i'm Jesse. This is who I am." I clung to him tighter, because I realised, in this world all I had left was Connor and Paul.
Paul was rubbing gentle soothing circals into my back. And crooning soft words into my ear. "I'm gonna get you through this baby.."
