I saw what I thought looked like a bear, but as it stepped out of the trees, toward me, I could tell it was no bear. I was an overgrown dog.

I couldn't scream. It inched closer, cautioning its steps. Regretting having not considered the fact that there were dangerous creatures in the woods, I stood frozen, waiting for its next move. To my surprise, I thought it was looking at me with curious eyes. Lately, everyone I met had looked at me the same way. But this was different. It was a…dog, wolf; it had dark black fur.

When it was a few feet away, I realized it was bigger than me. It sniffed the air and made a weird face, as if it smelled. I would have laughed but I wondered if I moved if it would attack me.

I was staring at it and it stared back at me. After a few minutes of awkwardness, I convinced myself to step back. I didn't seem as if it was interested in hurting me. Mistake! It started to growl. I closed my eyes waiting to get killed.

"Beth, step carefully back." The voice was suddenly so familiar. It was Daniel.

I turned back and he was there…in a crouching position. His eyes were on the brown…wolf. I wondered if I was dreaming when I thought I heard a growl erupt from Daniel. I looked back at the wolf, who was inching back slowly, his eyes, too, on Daniel.

"D-Daniel," I stuttered. "Am I dreaming?" What a stupid question, I thought.

Wait…where had Daniel come from, without me hearing? I was about to ask him when another unexpected thing happened. Now, instead of one wolf, there were eight total. They were in a V-shaped formation, all staring in my direction…or Daniel's.

"Daniel." I was whispering now, still staring at the army of animals.

"Sam, he, here, is with us." Everything was happening so quickly. It was Edward I was hearing now. And who was 'us' now? Who was Sam?

Whipping my head around, there wasn't only Daniel anymore. Edward, Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle were there too. I thought I was about to drop on my shaking knees.

"Yes, I understand." He was looking at the wolves. "We will leave now- we do not wish to fight." Was he talking to them?

The one with the black fur bobbed his head up and down! Wasn't this unusual? Then, slowly, they all began to disappear into the trees, every once in a while looking back until they were gone.

"Beth, are you all right?" Edward asked.

"Yeah," I managed.

"Come on, let's get you home," he suggested. "I guess we'll have a lot of explaining to do," he added without enthusiasm.

When I was conscious enough to realize what I was supposed to do, I noticed only Daniel and Edward were there with me. Daniel was staring at me; I didn't know how I was supposed to feel toward him right that moment though. I began walking and something suddenly hit me. When I was little, I had always wished my life would turn into a fairytale or something close… and now, I realized, it was. Humans talking to animals seemed unnatural and horse-sized dogs. I was about to find out what was happening.

Even though I was slow, we ended up at my house in a few minutes, I just hadn't known. While we had been walking, Daniel had been walking farther back for a moment until it seemed like he had gotten enough courage to talk to me.

"Beth, I know you're mad at me, and I wanted to tell you I'm really sorry if I acted stupidly. I have a bad temper, I know." He shook his head, looking down.

"It's okay, I was acting…weirdly, too. If you forgive me, I'll forgive you." I waited fro a response. I hoped I didn't mess things up this time.

"I have nothing to forgive you for; you don't have to forgive me, you know. When you learn the truth about me- about us, I'll understand if you try to stay away from me." He was looking at me, and I thought I saw sadness in his perfect eyes.

"What truth?" I asked, but before he could give me an answer, I tripped on something hard.

Fortunately, he caught me before I hit the ground. His arms held me like a prisoner, but I didn't object. I felt safe. Then I noticed Edward had disappeared. He wasn't there anymore, in front of us. I was staring into his dazzling eyes as he stood me back up.

"You forgot?" he asked with a confused voice.

"Forgot what?" I asked back.

We began walking again. He was less than a few inches apart from me as we did.

"The 'truth' about me," he whispered.

Everything suddenly came back and I remembered what we had been talking about. It surprised me how much he made me forget things all of a sudden.

"Oh," I simply replied. "What is this truth about, mostly, though?" I asked him hopefully.

"The truth about what I… am."


I hope it isn't getting boring. Anyways, I'll try to make it better. This is just the beginning and if you have any comments or thoughts about it please review.
