As soon as I crossed the border into La Push, the burning smell of the wolves eased my pain a little. I had spent so long with the wolves that their smell, which was originally repulsive, had become therapeutic.

I slowed down a little to enjoy the sensation of homeliness. I closed my eyes momentarily, trying to force the pain of seeing the Masen's deep inside of me, into a crevice of my memory which I could easily forget.

I crashed into something, a warm and furry something, sending us tumbling through the undergrowth. My eyes snapped open to see a wall of grey fur. Leah. Just like that all my precious control shattered. I clung onto her coat and began sobbing. After a few moments a wet nose nudged me. I looked up into her brown black eyes.

"They're here" I whispered.

Within minutes I was surrounded by a handful of wolves. Jacob nudged my shoulder, then licked my face before running for the trees. Moments later human Jacob was wrapping his arms around me.

"Shhh, its gonna be ok, we're here for you Marie," He crooned repeatedly.

"Did you know?" I asked once I had calmed down. "That they were coming?"

"Not until yesterday morning, and by then you would have already known," He said apologetically.

"Thats ok."

"Do you want to talk about what happened?" asked Leah, who was human again.

I looked around, surprised that I missed her shifting and found it was only the three of us.

"They went to patrol the borders" Jake answered the question I had yet to ask.

"Oh," I said, "I guess, but Leah, are you sure you want to hear?"

She grinned excitedly, "You know how much I love to hear about your adventures."

We all laughed. The whole pack did. Whenever I came and visited they would hold a bon fire specifically for me to regale them with stories from my travels. The thought cheered me up, I enjoyed those nights just as much as the wolves.

"Alright, here goes," I said getting into full story telling mode as I began to recap my entire day at school.

Telling the story was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster but Jake and Leah were a great audience, laughing in all the right places and holding my hands through the worst parts. When I finally finished, we sat in silence for a while, processing what I had said.

"Well that sucks." Said Leah breaking the silence first, "I can help you kill them all?"

I laughed, "As much as I love you Leah, I think that would be worse."

"Hmm," Jake replied as if considering the problem, "Who's up for breakfast at mine?"

"Trust you to think of food at a time like this," said Leah as she punched him in the shoulder.

"What? The suns about to rise which means its breakfast time!" Jake explained.

I looked to the sky and realised he was right and that I hadn't watched a La Push sunrise in months.

"Come on, race you to beach for the sunrise!" I said before taking off.

It didn't take too long for them to catch up to me.

We stood on the rocks overlooking the sea in silence. As the sun rose, I looked at my friends in their wolf form and thought we made an interesting picture. A lone girl flanked by two gigantic wolves on the highest rock formation watching the sunrise. I smiled and felt at peace.

As soon as the bottom of the sun cleared the horizon, we were off again. This time heading for Jake and Leah's house.

"I so won that race!" cried Leah as we piled into the Black house kitchen.

"In your dreams honey, I beat you by a nose!" countered Jacob.

"Oh really?"

I smiled as I watched my oldest friends banter. When I met them, about a year after I was changed, they had just imprinted on each other. It had been slightly nauseating for both me and the rest of the pack but they finally got a handle on themselves a few months later. It seemed as if they got happier every day but they weren't against conducting random PDA's and 'action replays' as the pack described it.

Just then Leah and Jake started kissing. I sighed, some things never changed.

"Ugh, guys, keep it G-rated!" I teased. They kept kissing, just to spite me.

I smirked, two could play this game. I got up and started opening and closing cupboards as if searching for something.

"Marie, what are you looking for?" Leah asked, slightly confused because I knew where everything was in this house.

"Bleach," I replied, "I need to clean my eyes."

"Ha ha, very funny" said Jake. I just smiled sweetly at them.

"Come on, let's make breakfast before we get attacked by a pack of ravenous wolves," Lead said.

So we busied ourselves with cooking all sorts of delicious food for the pack.

The moment we sat the last plate of food on the table, we were surrounded by hungry wolves in their human form.

I stepped back, not wanting get in between them and the food. It's a lot like getting between a mother bear and her cubs.

I watched the mountains of food disappear in the space of a five minutes. After which they all pitched in to help clean up before filing out the door.

"Wow, that never ceases to amaze me!" I laughed.

"You're going to have to leave for school soon," Jake said, changing the topic of conversation and emotional atmosphere in one foul swoop.

"I know, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do." I replied, slightly dejected.

"Just do what you do best," Leah suggested.

"What's that?"

"Dazzle them!"

I laughed. "It's hard to dazzle a vampire."

"If anyone can do it, it's you," Jake assured me, "Just don't leave again."

"Yeah, we only just got you back!" said Leah softly.

I looked up at them; they looked so afraid that I would disappear again.

"If I was going to leave, I would come and say goodbye," I answered, "and as much as I want to go, I just can't bear the thought of leaving Lila or La Push."

"Are you sure you're a vampire?" Jake teased lightening the mood again.

"Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be staying just so I can get to know the Masen's," I explained, "And wreak some havoc on their lives."

They both grinned evilly at me.

"OOhhh, I like that plan," said Leah conspiringly.

"The pack is so in on this," grinned Jacob.

"Perfect! I'll let you know when I need you to help," I stood up and headed for the door. "Bye!"

"Don't forget the bon fire tonight!" called Leah.

"I'll be there," I waved at them before running to school. Visiting Jake and Leah always made me feel better. No matter what the problem was.

Once in the car park at school, I spotted Lila and quickly caught up to her.

"Morning Lila," I smiled.

"Hey Marie," she replied.

"Ready for another day at the hell hole?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

With that we linked arms and began walking into school. Half way up the stairs a silver Volvo and a Jeep rolled into the car park. We stopped, like the rest of the student population, to look at the cars. I watched them park and get out of the vehicles as I was overcome by the sense of de ja vu, which got me thinking.

If I was getting de ja vu, why weren't they?
