POV Bella

When the game finished, I got up and turned to Charlie. "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed, night dad" I made my way up the stairs as he muttered out. "night Bells" I'm happy that it's Thursday and he gave me permission to skip tomorrow. With how much my body aches I am ecstatic that I can sleep in tomorrow. By the time I finished my shower I could hear Charlie snoring on the couch.

When I made it to my room, I looked at the alarm it read 10:00. It's been almost five hours since I saw Cynthia. I wonder if she is alright. I decided not to worry until tomorrow she could still be tracking Victoria. I got ready for bed and laid down. As I was about to close my eyes, I caught something hit my window.

When I looked out the window there she was. I opened the window as she sat on a branch of the tree right next to my window. When it was open, she smiled at me "Hey, Bella how are you feeling?"

"Hey, my body aches but I'm okay, my senses are sharper now" I smiled at her "how did it go with Victoria"

"it went badly" I looked at her with fear in my eyes. Did she get away, is she still coming for me? Before I could voice my concerns, she continued. "for her and great for me" she smirked

"shit, you scared me" when I calmed down, I asked, "so, what happened?"

"I will tell you everything tomorrow at my house, there is someone I want you to meet" she was nervous I could tell. "I know you want answers, but I want to tell you both together." She pulled out a paper airplane and threw it. It glided into my room. "Here is my address and the directions to get there. They are written on that paper." I picked up the plane from the floor. "it also has my number" she leaped out of the tree "get some rest and come over whenever you want okay" she left before I could say anything.

I closed the window and laid on my bed. I closed my eyes mentally preparing for no rest to come my way. Normally that kind of answer would have me tossing and turning all night just thinking over everything that could have happened. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my eyes the sun was out. I had slept with no issues.

I turned my head to the alarm clock and was surprised I slept for twelve hours. I got up and did my business before going downstairs. Charlie was sitting down in his uniform drinking coffee and eating a doughnut "hey Bells are you feeling better?"

"Hey dad, yeah I'm okay. Are you being the stereotypical cop eat doughnuts and drinking coffee?" I smiled at him as I grabbed one from the box. I think this is the first joke I've made in months. I sat down and started eating.

He grinned at me overjoyed that I was no longer quiet and ignoring the world around me. "I didn't think you would want to cook breakfast today." He looked at me sheepishly "I didn't know if you still felt sick, so I went out and got them"

"thanks dad, I'm feeling better but still not one hundred" I took a look at the stove the clock read 11:30 "you have the afternoon shift today?" I asked looking back at him

"yeah I should be back around 9 tonight." he rubbed the back of his neck. "Are you going to be okay or should I ask Billy to come and keep an eye on you?"

I smiled at his thoughtfulness "no, I think I'll be okay. I was thinking about seeing Cynthia" he looked at me suspiciously "I think it will do me good to get out and be around others"

He stood up grabbed his keys "okay, Bells I have to go, if you want, I could give you a ride"

"It's alright dad I still have to get changed" I got up when I finished. "have a good day dad" I made my way up to my room

"Bye Bells call if you need me"

Once he was gone, I got ready to go to Cynthia's. On the way there I noticed how loud and slow my truck is. it's never bothered me before. Maybe I should take it to Jacob and see if he can do something. I texted her I was on my way.

As I made my way, I noticed it was near the Hoh Rain Forest. If you looked at a map the Cullen's house was on the east and hers was on the west with the town in the middle. La push was to the north.

Pulling up I saw a three-story lodge. It had a covered porch with stone pillars that match a large stone chimney. The rest of the outside was built with wooden logs. I parked and got out I saw a two-story barn next to it.

The door opening got my attention "Bella hey did you have any trouble getting here?" I turned to see Cynthia walk out.

"Hey yeah, thanks to your instructions. You have a nice home" I gestured to the house.

She was about to say something when a girl stepped out. The girl curled into Cynthia's side like she was scared. She was very young. She looked maybe fifteen, dark-haired and slight. Her eyes were focused on me. "thanks Bella, this is who I wanted you to meet. Bella this is Bree, Bree this is Bella." She was rubbing Bree's back in a comforting way.

"hi" was all she said

"Hey Bree, it's nice to meet you" I gave her a small smile which she returned.

Cynthia smiled at me "why don't we all go inside and talk about how our lives have changed."

That statement confused me. But it wasn't me that asked it was Bree "what do you mean?" to which I bobbed my head as if to say I was asking too.

"you both are in the middle of your transformation." She must have seen our inquisitive gazes because she continued "you both are becoming werecats" she turned and went inside. Bree and I looked at each other before following her.
