Cat's POV.

The next day Soph and I sat with Jessica, Mike and the others, we were talking about an animal that Angela had seen

"It was jet black, and huge, on all fours it was still taller then a human" Angela explained, I froze, remembering the wolves I had seen yesterday, chasing that girl. One of them had been jet black, and they were huge! Sophie had noticed my change in emotion but I ignored her

"A bear maybe" Angela added

"Or an alien, you're lucky you didn't get cloned" Mike joked, they didn't believe her, I couldn't help but glare a little at Mike for that comment, they were real.

"Yeah" Jessica agreed, she was always agreeing with Mike, just to get him to like her. I rolled my eyes again and was about to speak when something different happened, Bella walked over and sat on the table with us all. I looked at Sophie, she was giving me the same look

"Wow" was all she could think, I gave her a tiny nod in agreement.

"You know you're not the only one" Bella began "Um, my dad's been getting reports at the station, like five hikers have gotten killed by some bear, but they can't find the bear" she finished. Angela turned to Eric, her boyfriend,

"Hm" she said in an 'I told you so way'. Eric did an awkward laugh, proving he was wrong

"Last time you clowns doubt my girlfriend" he said to everyone, Angela just rolled her eyes

"Seems you were lucky, Angela, if people are getting killed by it" Sophie added, Angela nodded

"Wrong, they're not killing people" I was surprised at myself with that thought, how would I know if they were killing humans or not? Jessica, Angela and Eric got into another conversation while Mike awkwardly turned to Bella and tried to have a privet conversation with her. Sophie and I sighed

"Typical" we both thought, we didn't bother listen in on the conversation, that is until Bella turned to speak to us all.

"We should get a bunch of people together, do you guys want to go see, face punch?" she asked

"Oh god" I thought

"Face Punch, yeah, Mike, hey, we're supposed to watch that, remember the trailer was like…" Eric started making explosion noises

"Yeah, movie night with Bella" Jessica said very sarcastically, I just sighed, I wasn't going.

"Why not?" Sophie asked

"Can't be bothered" I answered

"Yeah, sure, that's why" Sophie rolled her eyes, I glared at her as I finished my lunch. We went home at the end of the day, Sophie and I both stayed home, I didn't feel like spending more time with Bella, and Sophie wouldn't go because I wouldn't. Sophie texted Bella saying our parent's wouldn't let us go and to enjoy. I felt kind of bad, it wasn't Bella's fault this happened, she didn't know, she doesn't know. I should be blaming Jake, but maybe he hasn't realised what he's done. I can tell now that he likes her, a lot, and it hurts me, a lot, but it still wasn't Bella's fault. That was when I realised something, it was that Edward Cullen's fault, if he hadn't left, Bella wouldn't have become depressed, wouldn't have started talking to Jake again and then Jake would still be talking to me. I felt my hair heat up and my temperature rise at my new found anger, that was who I was blaming for everything, Bella's unhappiness and my unhappiness, it was all his fault, he started this by leaving, he started the chain of unfortunate events. Edward Cullen was the reason for my unhappiness, I thought I hated him before, I hated him even more now! Something drew my attention away from my anger, the tree's moved in the wind, causing me to get a little suspicious. I walked over to my window and opened it, jumping onto the near by tree, I felt the vibrations in the earth through the tree. I jumped down for a better feel, it was those weird vibrations again, but they weren't those red girls, there was something different, they were so similar, but different some how. This time I didn't feel the wolves near by, the knew stranger was alone. It was running near LaPush, no in LaPush, through the trees, just missing the house by about a mile

"Those wolves chased one all the way to Portland, now someone else is here? What's going on?" I thought. The vibrations got further away, and as curious as I was, I didn't bother finding out where they were going I just turned around and jumped back into my room. It wasn't any of my business what was going on, and because I didn't need to know, I wasn't going to be bothered to find out just yet.


A day or two past and Mike looked a little weird, I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong, but I didn't really care. Bella on the other hand I did know, she was quiet again, not as happy as a few days ago, like something had happened, Sophie and I pulled her aside at lunch time

"Hey, what's wrong?" Sophie asked

"What do you mean?" Bella asked boringly

"You've gone back into your shell, your hardly talking again" Sophie pointed out

"It's nothing" Bella lied, we knew it was a lie too

"You're lying Bella, something's wrong" I said softly, Bella looked at both of us before sighing

"Jacob's sick" she started, I immediately felt something drop in my stomach "His dad says he has mono and wont let me visit him, not only that but Jake wont call me" she looked a little sad

"Mono? How?" Sophie asked

"Don't know" she shrugged "He was fine when we first went into the movies, but then, afterwards, he started to burn up, like really hot, and he went home" Bella explained

"That's weird, he just suddenly got sick?" Sophie asked, Bella nodded "And he wont even talk to you?" Bella shook her head

"First me, and now Bella, he's pushing away people? Why?" I asked myself

"I'm a little worried" Bella muttered

"Well, it is just mono" I started, I bit my lip, I was worried too "He can recover" I added, Bella looked at me for a while before nodding,

"I know" she sighed. I started to get the feeling that there was more

"Bells, are you sure that's all that's bothering you?" I asked, Sophie and Bella looked at me then, Bella looked away again "I know it, she's worried about something else"

"Bella?" Sophie asked

"It's nothing" she sighed, we both knew it wasn't nothing but sighed

"Think you can keep us updated?" I asked, Bella looked confused

"Don't you talk to him?" she asked, I shook my head

"He stopped talking to me for some reason" Sophie gave me a look "I haven't seen or spoken to him in a while" I admitted

"Oh" Bella mumbled, I shrugged but didn't say anything. The bell rang and we walked off towards class, I was worried about Jake though, I had a feeling there was something other then 'mono' happening to Jake, and the feeling was annoying me because I had no idea what it was about. That weekend my father went over to Charlie's house, he, Charlie and Harry were going fishing today, how ever he didn't leave before opening his mouth.

"You know, Charlie started to worry about Bella again" he gave me a look

"She's just worried for Jake" I sighed

"Yeah, I know, I heard, seems he got it pretty bad" My dad sighed "Oh, well, I'm sure he'll pull through" Dad put his hand on my shoulder and gave me a reassuring look, I smiled a little at him before he turned around and left, driving in his SUV towards Forks. I sighed and looked at my phone in my hand, I bit my lip before I started to go through my contacts, finding Jacob's number. I hesitated but pressed the call button, it rang, and rang, and rang before it just stopped, I hung up and tried the home number

"Hello?" came Billy's rough voice, I felt a little smile play on my lips at the sound of his voice

"Hey Billy" I started, I was about to tell him it was me but he got there first

"Cat? Well it's been a while, how are you?" he asked

"Good, and you?" I asked politely

"Quite well" I could just tell he was nodding

"That's good, I heard you weren't going fishing this morning?" I remembered

"No, not today, not in this weather" I looked out the window at the pouring rain

"I didn't know the weather would stop you?" I grinned

"Not normally, but with Jake being unwell…" he stopped

"Yeah, I was calling about that… how is he?" I bit my lip not knowing if I wanted to know the answer

"He's… ok" Billy said, by the sound of his voice I didn't believe him, it sounded like he was holding something back, like he was lying.

"Can, can I talk to him?" I asked, already knowing the answer

"Sorry, he's sleeping" Billy said, but he was lying again, I sighed

"Alright, tell him I rang by and that I wish him well?" I asked

"Of course, it was nice hearing from you Cat" Billy finished

"You too, Billy" I said sadly. I hung up the phone and stared out the window for a while, I for some reason had a feeling that everyone, well Billy and Harry, knew something that no one else did, and they were trying to keep it a secret. This annoyed me, everyone knew something, and it bugged me, especially the fact that Jacob was still ignoring me.

"Fine, if he wants me to stay away, then I might just have to do that" I decided, if he wasn't going to talk to me, then I wasn't going to waste my time trying. My phone vibrated, I looked at the screen, Bella had texted me

"Hey, I'm going to see Jake, see how he is, I'm just worried, I'll let you know of the details later" I sighed, knowing my luck he would be fine and he was just ignoring me. But I don't know why he would do that to Bella too… I texted her back

"I just called round, Billy said he was sleeping, thanks though"

"No problem" she answered. I went back to staring out the window for a bit, the grey clouds and thick rain covering everything, I sighed and walked back upstairs to my room, I just sat on my bed thinking for ages, I didn't know what to do. After about an hour, my phone went off again

"Hello?" I asked

"Cat" sobbed Bella, I immediately sat up

"Bella? What's wrong, what happened?" I asked, fearing the worst

"He, he told me to go away" she gasped

"What?"

"He's fine, he was out in the rain! He wasn't sick at all, he's-he's cut off his hair, and, and got a tattoo, like he's in some-some gang or something" she sobbed, I was so confused

"Wha-" I started but she cut me off

"It's Sam, S-Sam Uley, he, he did something to Jake. Jake said they had been giving him w-weird looks, like-like he was waiting for him or something, and n-now he's just left me to go with them. He told me we couldn't be friends, that I couldn't see him anymore" By the sound of Bella's voice I found out that not only was she crying, but she was shivering, she had been out in the rain while talking to Jacob. Jacob, he had cut his hair, how short? And gotten a tattoo? Why? This was so weird.

"He promised me Cat, he-he said he wouldn't hurt me, he b-broke his promise" she cried, I felt a tear run down my cheek, Jacob had now hurt Bella too, he was pushing everyone away

"You can come here Bells, if you'd like" I offered, there was silence except for Bella's shivering

"N-no, I need to do s-something" she muttered

"Alright, but Bells, I'm here for you, we both are" I said softly

"Th-thanks"

"See you" I hung up the phone but felt weak and cold, Jacob had changed, a lot, I don't understand, he got a fever and then, changed? Why? And tells Bella to leave him alone? Why?

"What's wrong with him all of a sudden?" I whispered. A few hours past and the sun came out, the rays went through my windows and hit my face, I felt a little better once that happened. I sighed, my mum was out with Sue, again and my sister was down stairs in the library reading yet another book. She'd probably heard the conversation between Bella and I. I sighed again and got up, I put on a pair of suitable shoes and went over to my window, jumping out and into the trees. I checked to make sure I had my phone before I lazily made my way through the forest, I needed the fresh air, I needed a break to kind of clear my head. After lazily jumping through the tree's I felt the vibrations again, the ones from a few days ago, the ones that were similar to the girls, but different. As if my head didn't hurt already, I was getting even more confused. I bit my lip but headed in the direction of the vibrations anyway,

"Yeah, aren't I smart, go towards the mysterious feeling, jeez I'm just as bad as one of those girls in a horror film, they just have to see what's making that noise instead of run away" I thought. I ran through the trees, and after a while, realised that the vibrations were in the same area, they hadn't moved very far. That was when I felt more, and they belonged to Bella! She was out here alone, with some wacky freaky… person, if that's the right word.

"Isn't she smart" I thought, more vibrations appeared, I knew these ones, they belonged to those huge wolves

"What do you think you're doing?" I heard Sophie's voice

"Shit" I thought

"Yeah, where are you going?" my sister appeared next to me, jumping through the tree's too.

"I'm following more strange vibrations" I admitted

"Made by that girl?" she asked

"No, I mean they're kinda close, but they belong to someone else, someone who's similar to that girl" I explained "And that's not the only thing ahead" I bit my lip

"What do you mean?" Sophie asked

"Bella's with them" I muttered

"What? Why?" Sophie asked shocked

"How the hell would I know?" I asked

"I don't know" Sophie sighed, I rolled my eyes before realising something else was different

"There's another one" I thought

"Another what?" Sophie asked, hearing my thoughts, there was a fifth wolf, I swore there was only four last time, but now, there's another set of paws.

"Another what?" Sophie asked again

"The other day when I left school early I discovered something" I started

"What?" she asked

"Giant wolves" I said simply

"What?" she repeated

"Remember how Angela was talking about a bear? A big black animal that was huge? Well they're wolves, and they are huge!" I explained

"Ok?" she still wasn't following

"Well there was only four of them last time, now there's another one" I ended

"How big we talking?" Sophie asked

"I don't know exactly, but…" I didn't know what else to say. Suddenly the vibrations changed, the wolves were now where Bella was, the weird vibration almost immediately started running away from the wolves which began to chase it, Bella hadn't moved. The person stopped for less then a second and one of the wolves was thrown through the air by them. It landed hard on the ground and, luckily, it was fine, but to me the vibrations felt like an earthquake.

"What was that?" Sophie asked, she could hear was was going on

"I think, they're fighting?" I confessed

"What's fighting?" she asked

"The wolves and the, person"

"Why?" she asked, I shrugged, we ran faster through the trees, eventually we gave up on jumping and began to fly, avoiding the tree branches, this was much faster. Every now and then I landed on a branch to feel the vibrations in the earth through it, I gasped

"What?" Sophie asked me

"Bella's running away, back to her house" I frowned confused

"Isn't that good?" she wondered, I shrugged

"I guess" the little dispute however continued. Sophie and I reached where it was taking place, we came to a little meadow, it was all dead. It made my heart hurt

"This place is meant to be full of flowers" I muttered

"Then why is it like this?" Sophie asked softly

"I don't know" I sighed, we heard a growl from the other end, there was nothing in sight but we knew the wolves were there. We flew over the meadow and landed in a tree but by this time all we saw was a fire. It was burning something, the something made the flames change colour and an awful smell was coming from it.

"What is that?" Sophie asked pinching her nose

"I have no idea but it's awful" I scrunched up my nose and looked around, the wolves were already on their way.

"Guess we missed it" Sophie sighed

"You would have guessed correctly" I crossed my arms

"Well lets go home then, I can't stand this smell" Sophie complained

"Alright" I mumbled, we turned around and headed home, but something about all this still bothered me. Mum and dad came home after we did, they didn't notice anything, then again they never do, but that's how we liked it so it was ok. We all had dinner together before watching TV, I actually felt better now, my mind was taken off everything. I had forgotten how nice it was just to sit down with my family for a while, I missed it. That evening I received another text from Bella

"Hey, Jake come round. He apologised to me. He's still the same, but a little more… outgoing. I'm not sure how to explain it. I think he's hiding something, something he want's to tell me but can't. Anyway, I just thought you'd like to know."

"Thanks Bells, I'm glad everything's ok, and that he's still… Jake" I answered, I was glad things were ok, but I was still sad that he hadn't talked to me, he still wont return my calls, even if I tried some more.

"Guess he really like's her then" I muttered. It broke my heart to say that, and when I realised that I realised just how much I liked him. I let out a tear but wiped it away, I got changed and went to sleep, there was nothing I could do, so why bother crying over it. I was never like this, all teary.

"Guess this place changed me a bit" I muttered.
