So here it is. Sorry for the cliffhanger, it just needed to be done. So after a long day of shopping I was able to update =D it was because I wanted my cupcakes XD
Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone other than Vivian, her family, George and the story plot.
I regretted not going to the bathroom before I left the movies. I swore I almost peed my pants, especially when I saw another animal tackle down the original animal. The original animal was a brown, reddish color while this one was a deep chocolate colored one.
I had fallen on the ground after yelling and I was still there, unable to move. I think I had even started hyperventilating; I wasn't sure.
I knew I should stand up but I couldn't. I felt bad now for all those times when I would watch tv and the train was coming and a person was on the tracks they would freeze up for a good time until the train was like a yard away from them and then they would start running…on the tracks. I would always get mad at them and call them stupid. I know how they feel now.
A white animal, much smaller than the other ones, came and started helping the deep chocolate colored animal. All I could do was stare…well other than hyperventilating of course. I realized then from staring at the white animal that it was a wolf.
I had learned from tv that if a bear targets you and you've become known then you have to make yourself larger than it to scare it. With dogs however, I've learned from personal experience that they won't bug you if you don't bug them or show them fear. Keeping that all into account, seeing as the animals were as big as a bear but with canine in their blood then I should…walk away slowly.
Then I remembered: Claire was still in my jeep.
"FML." I whispered to myself freezing in place.
I heard a growl and saw the original wolf leave, running off. The white wolf turned around and looked at me. Its big brown eyes pierced mine and I realized. That first wolf…it was Jacob.
I squinted my eyes…were these wolves also people and if so then who…? Something in the white wolf's eyes was so familiar.
The wolves then hurried off in another direction. I exhaled, I hadn't noticed but I had apparently been holding my breath. If the wolves hadn't killed me then in thirty seconds later my stupidity would have.
I closed my eyes and counted to ten and then stood up slowly. I walked to my jeep and closed the back of the trunk. I then went into the driver's seat and I sat down. I could hear Claire's light snoring. It was music to my ears right now.
Minutes later I saw Ana carrying Yazmin who was crying and squirming in Ana's arms. Ana kept Yazmin outside so I got out slowly.
"What happened?" I asked her, trying to put emotion in my voice though it came out hollow sounding to my ears. Ana turned and looked at me. Yazmin saw me and jumped out of Ana's arms and ran to me, warping herself incredibly tight around me.
"She saw…wolves and got scared."
"Did she see what the wolves were like before?"
"They're wolves Biba! All of them!" Yazmin told me crying her little heart out. Ana glared furiously at Yazmin.
"Yazmin! Don't you remember what Seth told you?"
"Wacwob almost killed Biba!" She yelled glaring furiously back at her, her tears still running.
"Not that part! He said that you couldn't tell anyone." She said looking like she wanted to smack her.
"It doesn't matter. I saw anyways." I said looking at her dead in the eye. She looked away.
Seth came up to us holding two of the pizzas.
"I left the other two in Jacob's car. You girls can eat this during the car ride. Quil said to take care of Claire." He said giving the pizzas to Ana. She nodded and he kissed her lightly. I looked away and I saw that he wasn't wearing a shirt anymore.
I got inside the driver's side. I couldn't let Ana drive as much as I wanted to. First of all I didn't trust her with my baby and second of all she was only fifteen so she didn't have her license.
Yazmin came in sniffling while Ana looked tired. I started the engine and as I drove I wondered what I looked like.
"So which one were you?" I asked Ana. I heard her sigh.
"There's no point in trying to keep it away from you anymore. I'm a shape shifter…"
"Oh." I said looking straight ahead. I heard Yazmin sniffle and a pizza box open, she started chewing loudly so I turned on the radio. Airplanes started playing.
"Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

"What would you wish for?" asked Ana. I licked my lips and bit down.
"I have no idea." I said sighing. "I don't even know if I actually wanted to know what was actually up; I just disliked it when you guys wouldn't tell me."
"Why is this such a big deal?" She asked me. I gave her a look before looking back ahead.
"I never imagined anything like that was possible. My perception of the world has just been majorly altered…of all the things in the world, werewolves existing are one of the last things I would have ever believed."
"…well we're not technically werewolves. We don't transform during a full moon, we can transform whenever we want or when…angered." She said and I could feel her gaze on me.
"I didn't do anything." I said, in a high pitched tone lifting my hands up in defense.
"Put your hands on the wheel!" She yelled at me. I quickly put them down. She turned around to look at the girls.
"They're both asleep." She told me. I nodded my head. We eventually arrived at La Push; the whole ride had seemed like a blur.
"Go to Emily and Sam's house." She said. I bit my lip and nodded slowly. They were probably going to erase my memory or kill me.
I drove there and I saw a couple of cars parked there, including Jacob's rabbit. I quickly looked away.
"I'll get Yazmin." said Ana picking her up. I nodded and opened the door to get Claire. I carried her in my arms and Ana opened the door. We went in and suddenly everyone stopped talking and they all turned and looked at us.
I lifted my head up lightly and looked for Emily. Once I saw her I walked up to her.
"Um, where should I put Claire…she kinda fell asleep during the movie?" I asked her. She looked at me and put a hand on my back.
"Follow me." She walked upstairs and I followed her. She led me into a small room. I put Claire on the bed and started going out the door until I felt a hand on my shoulder. Emily wrapped her arms around me. If she was trying to console me it didn't work. It felt like I was consoling her because she was much too small for it to be the other way around.
"Don't be scared." She said. I could hear her voice breaking. "He didn't mean it, he's usually very good with his anger problems…you just reminded him of something very painful in his life." I looked away.
"He would never consciously hurt you." She told me. The way she told me and in those specific words reminded me of that time when Quil was claiming that Sam would never hurt Emily. I looked at her then, but fully looked at her…and her scars.
"Emily…how did you get your scars?" I asked her my voice feeling small. She looked at me and then away.
"He didn't mean it, he had barely been changed and I got in the way. He's in much better control of his anger." She said nodding certainly. I backed away and shook my head.
"It still happened. It could have happened to me; no I could have died because of...that monster." I said looking at her. She shook her head slowly.
"I love him and he loves me too. That side of him is the side that he uses to protect, with his whole life, the ones he loves and his people. They protect the reservation and humans from vampires. They've never accidentally killed a human in the process."
"That you know of." I said quietly.
"Please, you need to understand. He didn't mean to, I got in the way and he kills himself about hurting me every day." From the way her eyes were looking at me and the frantic tone of her voice, pleading for me to believe her; I did.
"Alright." I said and she smiled at me and hugged me again. I hugged back her back. She pulled away and she walked out the door and I followed her back slowly.
When we walked down I could see Elijah talking to that one girl from before with a scowl embellished on her face. She looked up at me and she glared. I shifted my gaze to Elijah who was standing up and walking towards me.
"Hey, I heard Jacob turned all incredible Hulk on you and you almost shitted you pants, is this correct?" He asked looking at me seriously. I nodded slowly. He shook his head. "That idiot. So what'd you say that got him all booty tickled?"
"I…I can't remember." I said lying. I could see Elijah opening his mouth to say something when Sam walked up to me.
"I need to talk with you." He said to me. I bit my lip and nodded following him into the kitchen. He sat down on the table taking a chair; I did so as well.
"So what do you know?"
"Just that everyone here is a shape shifter that can turn whenever they feel like it or are angered." I said looking down.
"Not everyone."
"I know Emily isn't." I said softly.
"None of the females you've seen in this house are other than Ana Barbara and Leah."
"Oh, I'm guessing all the guys are…"
"Yes." He answered. So they didn't work out at the gym like crazy, drink protein drinks or use steroids. I think it would have been easier to accept that.
"Oh."
"Do you have any questions or comments you would like to make?" He said using a tone that sounded distant. He looked like he wanted to leave, as if he had better things to do.
"Yeah. Who died and made you king?" I asked slightly narrowing my eyes at him.
"Our ancestors." He said smiling a bit smugly at me. He stopped once he saw me full out glaring at him. "I was the first of our generation to transform."
"Can I just go home?" I asked him rubbing my temple. He took one look at me a made a swift nod. I slightly bowed my head and exited. I told Ana that I was leaving.
Once I got home I went into my room and laid on my bed. I heard my phone ringing and I didn't move. Once it stopped ringing I looked at who was calling, it was George. I had two other missed calls, both from him. One at his regular time and another one two hours later. I sighed and threw my phone back into my purse.
I didn't know what I would be able to tell George. Scratch that, I knew what I wouldn't be able to tell him. I knew he'd be able to tell something was off so I decided I'd call him later…much later.
I heard the door opening and I turned to see Ana opening the door holding a tub of ice cream and two spoons.
"Hey there Ann." She said smiling at me softly.
"Sup Ana Banana." She walked over and sat on my bed with me, putting the tub down and handing me a spoon.
"So I was voted as the one to explain to you why Jacob got mad." I looked away while she opened the ice cream and put in a spoon.
"Explain what? You don't know why he got mad in the first place."
"I do." I gave her a look. "We have a mind connection, remember from the story?" I nodded my head remembering vaguely about their mind connection. "It only works when we're in our wolf form though." She sighed. I got a spoonful.
"So once upon a time, two years ago I think, Bella Swan moved here. Do you remember Bella, she was Charlie's, the cop, daughter?" I nodded again though I didn't fully remember.
"Well she's your age and from Arizona. She had a boyfriend, he was a vampire, and she was supposedly deeply in love with him even though in my opinion they were more obsessed with each other. Anyways, Jacob had this big crush on her and she would sort of lead him on, especially when her boyfriend left her. She got all emo and completely dependent of Jacob. It was pretty pathetic, she was even suicidal."
I narrowed my eyes. I was never a big fan of girls that were like that. Unhealthy dependency over a guy was something that disgusted me, especially in teenage girls. I got another spoonful.
"So her boyfriend comes back and they're still together but she's still leading Jacob on and of course he totally goes with any possibility of being with her." She grabbed a spoonful and swallowed.
"She's getting married with her boyfriend next week." She told me. I opened my mouth in surprise. "She wouldn't be with Jacob because he was too young for her and because of her boyfriend." I grabbed another spoonful and put it in my mouth.
"I guess it's like me putting salt in the wound." I said slowly, as realization washed over. She nodded solemnly. We ate the ice cream and when we finished she left. I got another phone call, from George, and I ignored it turning off the lights from my room, just thinking in the darkness.
I must have fallen asleep because I had my eyes closed when I heard people talking outside my door.
"I need to see her. I just want to make sure she's okay."
"I don't think she wants to see you."
"She's probably asleep; I just want to see her. Please, I feel like I'll die if I don't see her being safe and sound." I heard a pause.
"Fine, but like I said, she's probably terrified of you." I heard someone enter the room and I closed my eyes tightly. The bed sunk to the side as I felt a pressure. I held my breath and sat up.
"Jacob…" I said quietly.
"…yes?"
"I'm sorry." I said softly.
"What do you mean?"
"I know about Bella."
"Oh…"
"I'm sorry." I said quickly once I felt him getting off the bed. "FYI, I'm not scared of you anymore." I said loudly and as evenly as I wanted to. I heard him trying to open the door.
"I want us to be friends." I said quickly.
I saw him stop. "Friends?"
"Yeah, let's forget everything ever happened and start anew." I said. I saw his teeth in the darkness; I'm guessing he was smiling.
"Alright, friends." He said.
Author's note: So this chapter was a bit dull because of the seriousness and junk. It was a bit of fluff at the end though; I hope you guys liked it. Sorry and the shortness of it, I just wanted it out so you guys wouldn't kill me and because I was ready to start the next chapter. XD
Review, please and thank you.
