A/N: Wow, okay so I'm getting into my schedule of typing again. YAY! Oh and one more thing… GO HAWKS (Insider). So…the last chapter wasn't my best work. I hope you guys like this chapter. Please Enjoy and Review!
Disclaimer: I wish I owned twilight…but I don't.
"You want to help? How can you help? You're one of them!" Jake spat out. I placed a calming hand on his arm and stepped into Alice's view. I heard Jake growl a warning to Alice, but I decided to act as if I hadn't heard it. "You want to help?" I asked in a nicer tone than Jake's. I glanced over at him. His nose was wrinkled in distaste as if he smelt something bad. I could see the faint trembling of his hands. Hostility was rolling off him in waves.
Dammit…if you phase Jake…"Yes, I want to help. I know this might sound crazy, but I can see the future. And I saw my family ripping your little pack to shreds, because of…" Her voice trailed off and I could almost guess what she was going to say.
Because of Bella's death.
"How would they know about Bella being dead? Did you tell them?" I said. Jake was still trembling next to me and I took his warm hand in mine.
"No, but they were going to come back here in a few weeks. Someone is going to tell them about Bella being dead. I don't know who though." Alice said. Jake wrinkled his nose again in disgust.
"Why are you telling us this? They're your family. Why the hell would you go against them? Bella was your friend. She talked about you before." Jake said acidly. She grimaced.
"Things are complicated. I don't think you mutts…I mean wolves deserve to die. I was hoping that maybe our coven and your pack can join together and kill off Victoria. That's why I'm here." She said. I nodded. It made sense what she was saying. Jake, however, wasn't as understanding as me.
"No." He said plainly. He started walking towards Emily's house. "Jake!" He didn't answer me and kept walking. I turned back to Alice. "Sorry, about him, he's kind of angry at the moment. Look, I agree with what your saying. If it was up to me I would accept your help in a heartbeat, but it's not my choice. I suggest you talk to Sam. He's the pack's alpha." I said. A sharp pain entered my chest when Jake wasn't beside me and I had to fight the urge to run after him into Emily's house.
"Thank you. Um—?"
"Ellie, you can call me Ellie." I said forcing a smile. I was surprised I could still smile after all that has happened. She extended out a hand and I shook it. I tried not to look startled by the coldness of her hands. "You're probably use to being warm, considering you run with mutts." She said. "Wolves." I corrected her. "Wolves." She repeated after me. It sounded as if she was pondering the word. "And you are a Cullen. So, you're a vampire?" I asked as we made our way back to the house. She nodded. Then her body tensed up. I looked over at the house and saw Jake walking towards us. "I couldn't leave you alone with a vampire. That would just make me stupid." He said. I arched an eyebrow at him. "Well, I'm not going to hurt her." Alice said defensively. "You never know." Jake said quietly. I caught his eye and gave him a reassuring smile.
"Jacob, Ellie. What is a vampire doing here?" We all turned around and saw Sam with the rest of the pack trailing behind him. Paul looked like he was ready to explode and so did Jared. Leah stared at me solemnly; I hadn't seen her since the incident. I broke her gaze and looked over at Embry and Quil. They focused their eyes on Alice.
"You must be Sam Uley." Alice said taking a graceful step toward him.
"Yes I am. And you must be a Cullen." Sam said catching a glimpse of Alice's golden eyes. Bella had told me that the Cullens only drink animal blood, not human blood. I guessed that was why Alice had golden irises.
"Alice Cullen. I've come here to give you a warning and help you." Sam crossed his arms over his chest and gave her a slow nod. He reminded me of a large Indian chief.
"The rest of my family are on their way. By now, someone must have found Bella's blood drained body on the beach. It will only be a matter of time until they find out that she's dead and she spent most of her time here. They'll come here and tear you to shreds. I've seen it…and I want to help. I think instead of being enemies, we should work together and avenge Bella's death by killing Victoria."
"I doubt your brother will be happy about working with us."
"We need to try. Do you really want to risk losing anyone in your pack?"
"Fine. Come with me and we'll discuss how to reason with them." He started walking into the woods and gestured her to follow. She nodded and walked gracefully over to him. I watched as they disappeared into the woods. The rest of the pack, except Jake, phased and took off.
It was only him and me now. I could sense the slight trembling of his hands. I knew he wasn't happy about Alice being here. It was probably a lot for him to take in one day.
Having to choose me or Bella…then Bella dies…and now a Cullen shows up. I'm sorry Jake.
I mentally apologized to him, but the words didn't make it to my mouth. I sighed and looked at the ground. It was frustrating how I couldn't help him. My breathing quickened and I felt hot. "Ellie?" Jake said concerned. "What?" I snapped at him. He took a worried step towards me and placed a hand on my forehead. "Jesus, Ellie. You're burning!" He said taking his hand away. "So?" I didn't know where this anger came from. It was like a fire was burning inside me.
Then a look of realization washed over Jake's face. "Ellie, come on we need to get you inside. Emily should know how to deal with this."
I would have said something, but I felt like something was restraining me. Then everything went black.

I woke up later in my room. I was only wearing a tank top and shorts. My mouth was stone dry and I was burning hot. I groaned and turned over to my side. It was dark and I could barely make out the shape of a pitcher of water on my nightstand. I grabbed it and drank the whole thing in a matter of 30seconds.
"Hey," a voice growled in irritation, "I could have gotten that for you."
I twisted my neck and could barely see Jake's muscular shape in the distance. He was sitting on a chair, looking at me intently. The darkness reflected the mood of things. I could sense the tenseness of Jake's body.
"I can do things on my own." I snapped. I, immediately, felt guilty as soon as I said it. All Jake did was look at me calmly. He let out a deep sigh and put his head in his hands.
"Do you have Quileute blood in you Ellie?" He said looking up. I sat up and tried to ignore how hot I felt. I was sticky with sweat and it was starting to gross me out.
"I don't know. I don't really remember a lot about my birth parents…Why?" I looked at him suspiciously. I had a feeling something bad is coming.
"Its nothing to worry about right now. You'll find out soon enough."
"I don't want to find out. I want you to tell me." I said grinding my teeth.
What the hell is wrong with my temper? Geeze, Ellie snap out of it!I mentally scolded myself. I loved Jake and I hated hurting him, but that didn't stop my temper. A piercing growl interrupted my thoughts. I looked around wondering who it was from. It didn't sound like Jake's growl, it sounded more feminine. Another low growl came again and I realized that it was from me. My breathing quickened and a huge ripping sound ruptured from my back. I let out another inhuman growl and before I knew it, I was in a form that wasn't my own. It took me a while to realize what I was. The smells were intensified and I was standing on four legs.
And when I tried to talk, I barked.
What. The. Hell.
I looked at Jake and whined. He stifled a laugh and phased in front of me.
You are very beautiful in wolf form.
I was startled. I could hear his words in my head. That just wasn't right.
What the hell Jake? Why am I…
My thoughts were interrupted when his muzzle touched mine. Jake…please stop distracting me. I need to know what's going on. He huffed and I could hear every thought in his mind.
When more vampires are around, Quileute decedents turn into their wolf forms. I'm guessing that you have some Quileute blood. He finished the thought. I winced when I could hear every thought in his mind. I could see everything that he and Bella went through together. I could feel the pain he's feeling.
And I could feel the love he has for me.
A/N: Anyway I think this was officially not my best work. I have CSTs tomorrow so I'm going to go study. Reviews would be nice. I like to hear what you guys think of my work. Anyway, I'll probably going to update on the weekends from now on. So yeah…I'd like to give a shout out to my bestie Weird1. Take a look at her stories. Bye!
