Jacob slid his hand into mine but kept his eyes on Maddie. Edward, who was on the other side of me, put his arms around my shoulders. We stood against the wall facing Maddie, her body was facing us directly. She wasn't scared of us, only scared of our reaction of what she was going to say.
"I know about you." she confessed. "I know about your family, Edward. And i know about you Jacob," she took a deep breath then carried on. "I know about...vampires and werewolves." she concluded.
I felt Jacob shaking and i soothed his arm but the shaking grew tighter as he prepared to phase.
"Jacob, STOP! Calm down!" Maddie commanded him. Jacobs eyes closed in concentration but eventually his shaking slowed.
"How? How do you know?" I heard myself ask.
"I'm...I'm...I'm a werewolf as well." She replied. Now she was trying to control her own shaking. Her fists clenched and she gritted her teeth in a effort to calm herself down.
"But how are you a werewolf? Only quilette people can turn into wolves and even then not everyone changes." Edward asked.
"My ancestors were quilette. They moved from LaPush to England generations ago." she explained. Maddie had gotten in control of herself now, so had Jacob.
"Is it just you or is there others?" Jacob asked through his teeth.
"Theres just me... and my brother." Maddie told him hesitently.
"We should tell the others." Edward mused. We all nodded including no one seemed really angry or even upset by what Maddie told us. Then Maddie spoke in the sudden silence.
"Wait, Jacob can i ask you something?" She seemed hesitant. But i was something that she needed to ask.
"Yeah, sure. Only if i can ask you something." A smile was playing on the edge of his lips now. He trusted her. He related to her. She is a werewolf.
"Sure, go ahead, Jake." She had a full blown grin now.
"How long have you been a werewolf?" he asked her.
She chuckled. "Only two months." She replied immediately. "Was there something else?" she asked.
"Yeah... Do you trust us?" Her smile suddenly disappeared.
"Yes, of course. Well, i trust your judgment and you comfortable. So...I trust them too." This made sense. "Now i need to ask you something..."
"Go ahead, Maddie." Jacob encouraged.
"Me and my brother, we are alone. We don't have a pack. Please, may we belong to your pack?" she asked. Jacob contempated then made a decision.
"Ok. You may belong to my pack." Jacob sighed and Maddie grinned. We turned to leave.
"Oh, yeah. Edward?" Edward turned in her direction. "I would like to congratulate you and Bella on your daughter. And Jacob... You and Renesmee are such a cute couple. Me and Taylor imprinted a week ago. I'm so glad you imprinted with Renesmee."
Maddie walked straight past us and didn't look back. Jacob, Edward and I stared after her. How could she know so much? Then we just burst out laughing. It's a strange world.
